Blood Reaper

For better or worse!

For better or worse!

Now this is some sweet view. A large, large castle was standing like a soldier in the middle of a forest; which was also on top of the Mount Piatra Craiului.

You could see the village through some opening between  some massive rocks - it was just a little toy painting. I took my camera out and snapped a few pictures of it, than I started my bike again.

Elena, I need your help, my sister said, or more exactly your ability. I can’t say much now, but please come to Mont Piatra Craiului, past the village and up on the mountains, you will find a … house, she said a little unsure, there I’ll explain. I tried to ask her more, but she closed the phone in my face. Oh well she is my sister, so it doesn’t really matter, but I was curious... and till now I was working at a scroll that I found in Masada about the mass suicide of the cornered Jews. I wanted to see if they had truly made it, and if so, how exactly? But after Esters called me I had to take a break and now here I am.

I opened the hard door at a side entrance, and let myself in.

They were all around, hidden in the shadows, watching me intently trying to measure my streng. They were plain stupid, I’m not strong - I’m sly! And wicked, and… I have my ways.

I made my way up the grand and intricate stairs to where I could feel my sister. Around her were quite a lot of people, all strong and weird feeling - a few of them had the same feeling as Vladimir, Esters husband. Others had a feel that was more wild and full of raw power, one in particular felt wild and untamable, to which I felt a shiver ran through my belly; a few more set of stairs and I was at the room were all of them were.

The door was opened and an elegant woman, clothed in some kind of black and rose-pink dress; she had her hair rounded up on her head and a couple of high hills to complete her image. A pair of bright red eyes were watching me with a calculated coldness in them.

- Come in. She said in an even tone. Seeming as you are the last to come, you must be Elena Lup, sister of Esters Lup, yes?!

She said it more like an affirmation than that of a question. I dipped my head a little to confirm that indeed, I was who she thought I was.

I looked after Es, she was at the big round table in the middle of the room were a blonde girl was arguing with her, at her left was Vladimir, also talking or more like arguing with some dark-skinned man. I moved my eyes along the table watching everyone of them, slowly cataloging them on how strong and powerful and dangerous they were.

I felt a pair of eyes, also watching me, but I paid no mind to them, they were classifying me too. Good luck with that! I felt five kinds of creatures, there were, as i said before, three that were similar in this feeling that I’ve got, to Vladimir, Es was also almost like him too, but she still kept the week feeling of a human.

The Vladimirs, had an aura of danger, mystery and elegance; while the next group felt just like… nature?! Curious. They were kind of black-skinned and not very big or small, but they also had the perfect faces of the others.
