---The Mansion, Dungeon Area---

A coffin stood, a skull over a cross on it's lid.Ghostly clouds of energy appeared about the room, and spirits appeared,dissapearing in screams.

And the coffin shook, as blood escaped from it. this blood collected in front of the coffin, and formed into an apparation, which solidified into a tall, thin vampire, holding a tall staff with a purplish cloud of energy at the end. He wore a black cloak, blackpants, and boots. His eyes glowed red.

In a possesed voice, he shouted, "I'm... Alive!"

"Welcome back." A voice spoke. "You've been away for ages, we believed you to be gone." A man, of average height, wearing black jeans and a red sweater, walked into the room. His brown hair seemed darker in this dim room. He looked at Dri. "I'm Antonio, don't know if you remember me." He gave Dri a friendly smile, then looked at his coffin. "Heh, I'm not surprised it gathered that much dust. Nice coffin though." He grinned for a moment, then his face got a more serious look. "Celes wishes you see you in a an hour. He'll come to this room here and visit you." He nodded and asked: "How do you feel now?"

[Pyth]

"Celes? OK. I'll wait."

He wondered though. Antonio was stil laround, but had this world changed over the centuries?

OOC: So you know, he's not evil to his own kind.

[Athena]

(OOC: Okiedokie, wasn't sure of that. Celes is a vampire a bit lower in charge than Andrei but still high up. One of those who accompanies him etc. I don't want Andrei to make an appearance as of yet )

"Yeah he should be here in sometime. Don't worry about it, he won't bite." Antonio laughed.

"So how are you feeling, you've been away for quite some time." he said. "How many centuries was it again.. I suppose some things have changed."

(OOC: When do you like to have "died", when the races still were more of one whole, during the conflicts or after? Then I can fill you in )

[Pyth]

OOC: OK. Pre-conflict, please.

IC:

"Wel, I'm feeling well, and not old. I remember dying in this massive battle, and it went black for a bit."

[Athena]

"Ah, well, I'll tell you what I remember. Centuries ago, all races inhabiting this world, save us vampires, lived more or less closer together. I'm sure you remember, orcs, dwarfs and mortals, in the meaning of humans, inhabited a great part of Memoria, like a whole. For reasons I do not personally recall, heh what did I care what they did to one another, somehow they got into a big conflict. More and more of them got somewhat racist towards other races and they grew to dislike those who were not theirs. Some of them killed those of another race, believing only their race was worthy of existance."

"Eventually this grew towards the Big Conflict, which resulted in years of war. The long fighting resulted in the dwarf moving down south, in the so-called Ice Mountains, to which they've adapted quite well or so I've heard. The orcs went up north, towards the Green Mountains, living in the caves there, to which they've also well adjusted. The mortals, humans, went to the westcoast and named their place Emporia, where they rebuilt and renamed the city Maynor, from the ashes of battle. This mansion, Ardeal, was also from them. A few of us murdered most of the inhabitants and make a few remaining ones to our own. An few fled and nowadays they still believe it was the pest and they avoid this place. It is ours now. It's not far from Emporia, which is full of lovely mortals to feed upon."

He grinned and showed his teeth. "Speaking of which, I'm damn hungry." He licked his lips. "Any questions regarding history or did you hear enough for today? Boring I know, but you can't expect mortals to put on much of a show, eh?"

[Pyth]

"Yes, enough for now. ANd yes... centuries without blood is not good. I'm travelling to Emporia. You know my favorite hobby."

OOC: I assum,e most vampires are... evil?

[Athena]

(OOC: Well.. you'll have to find out . Wouldn't be that much fun if I told you everything there is and will be to know about this world already, would it .)

He laughed. "Every vampires' hobby I'd say. Celes will be here soon now." He left the room.

Some minutes later a tall, blonde vampire came in. He wore something that was supposed to pass for an old suit. "Greetingsss", he said. He stopped for a moment and studied the room, after which he looked at Dri. "On behalf of Andrei, I have to ask, do you know why it is you 'died' and got back to 'life' some centuries later? We are immortal. What happened to you?"

[Pyth]

"I do not know. I remember some great light, and then blackness. Then I reember waking up here."

OOC: Yeah, you're right.

[Athena]

"Hmmz, I see. Well, if you remember more, do let us know. Your situation is somewhat.. curious." Celes paused for a moment and looked at Dri. "Go and feed, my boy. You look like you could use it. I'll draw you a map to Emporia so you won't get lost, the world as you know it has changed."

[Pyth]

"Thank you,"

His minsd was already screaming back to his adventuring ways...

[Athena]

"Ok, I'll be right back." Celes left the room and returned after a few minutes, with a map in his hand. "Here, take this. It'll show you were to go. Now go and knock yourself out. Know that you'll be welcome here upon your return. Your coffin remains in safety," he said and gave Dri the map. He gave him a nod and left the room.

[Pyth]

"Well then... I have work to do."

He left the room, passing through the mansion, into the foryer. He opened the door, and walked out, into the area around the mansion.
