Corpses were littered all over the ground from the late night raid. The stench of death filled Falael senses, making her grunt in dismay by the putrid smell. She's currently walking around the town with an extra cloak that she always carried around in case if her other cloak have been lost. She sighed at the site in front of her, blood splattered everywhere, corpses being covered, humans cutting the mongrels into pieces, humans crying over their loss ones, and people repairing the walls. It's a pitiful sight indeed, but she does not feel any remorse for these humans.

She look towards the entrance of the city and sees Trevor and Sypha, saying their farewells to the speakers. She can't help but feel that a bond is going to bloom between those two, seeing them the way that they're acting - she wouldn't be surprised if a bond does happen. Falael let out a chuckle from her absurd thoughts, but she would be happy for them two if it did happened. She looks up to see the both of them heading towards her direction - she turns around and starts walking towards the building where the speakers use to reside in. Falael jumps on the roof of the ruined building, and sits on the ledge.

She looked inside the ruin and saw Alucard drawing on the dirt with a stick. Falael tilted her head and lean in a bit to get a good view on what he's drawing. She hears him mumble as he draw on the ground, after a while of him she realizes that he is drawing Dracula and his mother. She sighs softly and jumped down quietly making sure to not make a sound. Falael approaches him, and lean over his shoulder letting out a hum while doing so. Alucard tenses about the erase it, but Falael puts a hand on his shoulders and sits next to him. She grabs the stick from his hand, and continue to finish the half drawing of his mother making sure to add some details. He stared at her wide eyed, questioning in his mind on how she knows about his mother.

Before he could ask she started talking, "I knew your mother, and your father..." She paused a bit wondering if she should continue, but decided to do so. "Your mother was a lovely woman, she always wanted to help people-" she paused "I can't say much for Dracula, since he's always traveling. I never got the chance to meet him properly. But I can say that he is or rather use to be a humble vampire... That is until he went berserk." She sighed looking at the two drawings on the ground, before looking up and made eye contact with Alucard. She let out a slight smile, even tho he wouldn't be able to see it from the hood covering her face.

Distance footsteps could be heard making Alucard erase the drawings. Falael looks up as well too see Trevor and Sypha approaching. She let's out a sigh hearing them arguing about something. "I'm a nice person. I am. I know how to be nice" Trevor said making Sypha scoff "No, you don't." She responded. "I do. I'm nice to everybody." Falael let out a groan, not wanting to deal with their petty arguments. She stood up from her sitting position, and dusted off the dirt from her outfit, and went to sit on a crate that is against the wall - opposite of the entrance. She tuned them out until they had arrived the entrance, "So, how do we proceed?" Sypha asked, "have the Speakers left?" Alucard responded not botherd to look up from the ground. The only answer he got was a "Yeah" from Trevor. "I'm sorry. In success, you will see them again soon, in far happier circumstances." Alucard said finally looking up from the ground, and turning around to see them. Trevor just walked in and sat next to Falael leaning his shoulder against her. "See? He knows how to be nice." Sypha said looking at Trevor with a look, making Falael raise an eyebrow. Falael got bored and blocked out most of their conversation. She sees Trevor looking in some crates most likely trying to find something to drink. She chuckled and took out a bottle from the other crate that was next to her, tapping the bottle on the crate she catches his attention and throws the bottle at him. She turns back towards the other two; talking about how the castle works and how it moves. Then she hears Trevor talking about his house; the values and knowledge that are hidden beneath the ground of the house of Belmont.

Falael grunted and got off the crate making the three look at her "Before we do go to your house Trevor, we should go to the house of Alavara - my home or what use to be." She took down her hood, "there are some things that I need from there, and I don't doubt that there is knowledge about the castle in there." The three looked at each other then looked back at Falael and nodded. She let out a relieved sigh thankful that they had agreed. "One question?" Sypha asked making Falael hum in response. "How long would it be until we get there" Sypha tilted her head wondering on how they would be able to go to the Alavara's home then to the Belmont's in less than a month. "Already have that figure out. We would of course take a wagon toward my temple, and from there well I would tell you then, but for now we should go before a raid strikes again. It would most likely take a week or so to arrive the temple of Alavara"

They agreed on the plan and started talking again, and suddenly of course Alucard and Trevor starts arguing. "Such a merry band we are." Sypha mumbled walking out of the big ass hole as a entrance. "I will find us a covered wagon and horses. If you two manage not to kill each other while I'm gone. Falael please watch over them, so they would not do anything rash." Sypha pleaded making Falael smirk.

"Oh, please. We're not children." Trevor stated making Falael roll her eyes. Sypha gave up and walked away. Falael look towards the two, "eat shit and die." Trevor said pointing a finger at Alucard "yes, fuck you." Alucard responded; The three of them chuckled. Falael leaned against the wall between them with Alucard still sitting on the ground, and Trevor leaning against the crate she was sitting on earlier. "you really believe we could find the tools to kill my father at your old home's" Alucard said, "I'll be honest with you, I don't have a better idea." Trevor responded - then the two looked towards Falael who still had her hood down. "I know my temple will. No doubt about it... My family legacy was always surrounded by the subject of the creatures of the dark or something that would not be considered... Holy as the humans say to this day." She look at the two and gave a smirk getting up from the floor and jumped towards the roof, pulling her hood up while doing so. "it seems that Sypha had found a wagon for us. We should leave as soon as possible before night falls." She commented before jumping roof to roof towards the entrance of the city.

The four of them are heading off now with Falael steering the horses, Trevor sitting next to her, and the two in the wagon.

The trip took almost a week max, only settling for night time, restocking, and giving the horses some time to relax. Nothing much had happen during those times - nothing interesting.
