A Request To Talk – Log by Samiyah

DarkClaw tells you softly, 'I know you don't care to speak with me.. but I would ask an audience with you concerning your sister, if you would hear me out.'.

You tell DarkClaw (in common), '*bows slightly* With respect, I should not, without the Sahib's presence.'.

DarkClaw tells you, 'Then perhaps you could be present when I speak to him as well. He has already granted an audience with himself later this evening.'.

You tell DarkClaw (in common), 'If it is His will, I will attend..'.

DarkClaw nods hesitantly, "Of course."

You tell DarkClaw (in common), 'Your follower Similron struck me, and called me scum, and struck me twice more. Is this to do with this talk?'.

DarkClaw tells you, 'No, they are not related at all. Nor was I aware that he was doing so.'.

You tell DarkClaw (in common), 'Then I will simply count it as his bad manners and forget it.'.

DarkClaw tells you, 'Bad manners and foolishness, at his level.'.

You tell DarkClaw (in common), 'He probably knows that I do not fight and am a safe target for his irritation.'.

The Audience- Log by Seraph

### Seraph: Entered Game

DarkClaw: Hello, Seraph.

Seraph: hello
Seraph: come Star

The Hall of the High Order
[Exits: north]
(Blue Aura) A hand-lettered open book rests upon a black iron pedestal.
(Invis 71) (Intense Dark Blue Aura) Seraph is here.

Seraph sits upon his throne.

DarkClaw bows her head slightly in a show of respect. "Thank you for seeing me."

Seraph says, 'is there something you wish to say privately to me?'.
Seraph says, 'without Samiyah here'.

DarkClaw says, 'There is nothing of what I have to say that she cannot hear as well.'.

Seraph nods.

DarkClaw says, 'In fact, I want her to know, too.'.
DarkClaw blows out a sigh and begins pacing the floor, her expression closed.

Seraph doesn't take his eyes off of you.

Two shadows form in front of seraph guarding him

DarkClaw says, 'I was...reminded of something yesterday, which I hadn't really forgotten, but it caused me to think on the matter more.'.
DarkClaw says softly, "It would be impossible to forget."

Seraph nods slowly.

DarkClaw says, 'The conversation involves Jamilla.'.

Seraph says, 'we all have things we cant forget'.

DarkClaw says, 'Indeed.'.

Seraph nods.
Seraph says, 'i figured as much. What of the little vampire?'.

DarkClaw stops her pacing and forces herself to face you, squaring her shoulders. "There are some things I need to tell her...to admit to her."

Seraph says, 'let me ask you a question: would it be worth it?'.
Seraph taps his fingers on the arm of his throne.

DarkClaw says, 'I'm not sure...I'm so torn over the entire issue.'.

Seraph says, 'what is the issue?'.

DarkClaw says, 'Which is why I came to you first. It is my fault that she is Kindred.'.

Seraph says, 'how so?'.

DarkClaw says, 'My fault that she will never grow physically. She will never be a woman physically. After Venom was embraced...by me...'.

Seraph waves away the shadows they blend into the darkness.
Seraph says, 'he turned her to get to Samiyah. I was there'.

DarkClaw pauses and watches the shadows depart, though her tenseness never wavers.
DarkClaw says, 'He did...but before that, the Lich spoke to me...'.

Seraph says, 'and'.

DarkClaw says, 'And he warned me not to let Venom make a daughter. I just...didn't realize he meant a KINDRED daughter at that time.'.

Seraph stands up and walks towards you.
Seraph says, 'so what are you asking me?'.

DarkClaw says, 'If I had known....'.

Seraph says, 'you knew, Star. You're a godess - a Kindred goddess at that'.

DarkClaw's eyes fly to yours again. "I swear I didn't. I thought he spoke of a biological daughter."

Seraph folds his hands behind his back and walks around.

DarkClaw says, 'You are familiar with the fact Venom threatened to rape young women?'.

Seraph says, 'Star, you turned a person with two souls. You knew he wanted to hurt Samiyah. Yet, you still let it happen'.

DarkClaw says, 'That is correct...but I would NOT have allowed him to embrace a child had I known!'.

Seraph says, 'Star - I saw it coming. How could you not? Oh. Wait. I know why. You were blinded by lust for Venom. I always said that was and is your weakness'.
Seraph slowly turns towards you.

DarkClaw clenches her jaw and closes her eyes for a moment. "I am not here to fight, Seraph."

Seraph says, 'I'm not fighting with you but we both know it's the truth. Which brings me back to my question: what do you want from me?'.
Seraph sits upon his throne of bones.

DarkClaw opens her eyes to meet your gaze again. "I want your permission to admit my part to Jamilla...and to explain that which will never happen to her."

DarkClaw says softly, "I feel she has a right to know."

Seraph says, 'of course you can, but it is her choice if she wants to listen or not'.

DarkClaw says, 'I thought...the proper way to go about it was to speak to you first.'.

Seraph says, 'You never know - maybe she will come back to you with open arms'.
Seraph grins a little.

DarkClaw says, 'I somehow doubt that. If anything, it will push her away.'.

Seraph says, 'if Venom is her father, doesnt that make you her mother?'.

DarkClaw says, 'In a manner of speaking, yes.'.

Seraph says, 'There. You have a daughter'.

Seraph grins slyly.
Seraph says, 'you have a daughter that worships the evil/good soul-stealer god'.

DarkClaw says, 'I did not know she would worship you after I released her, but I would've granted release regardless.'.

Seraph says, 'Yet again: I knew she would. Her sister is here'.

DarkClaw says, 'She could've been with her sister unaligned.'.

Seraph says, 'not the same. Besides: I am the god of their people'.

DarkClaw says, 'It's obvious you know of my displeasure that she came to you....but my main concern is her happiness and wellbeing.'.

Seraph says, 'of course'.

DarkClaw says, 'She is more of a daughter to me than you realize.'.

Seraph says, 'Yes, well, so is Samiyah, to me -- but people think I'm just trying to hurt her'.

DarkClaw says, 'Samiyah is devoted to you. So you must be doing something right.'.

Seraph says, 'and as far as Samiyah goes its her choice if she wants to speak to you or not'.

DarkClaw says, 'She will not speak to me without you present...but I thought she would want to know before I speak to Jamilla and perhaps might offer input.'.

Seraph says, 'I let her make her own choices but also show her the other choice also'.

DarkClaw nods slowly.
DarkClaw says, 'She has done well under your care.'.

Seraph says, 'if she wants me there, I will be there'.

DarkClaw says, 'Thank you. I hope you understand that I'm trying to do the right thing. Perhaps a little late...but still the right thing.'.

Seraph says, 'the right thing would have been to stop Venom, but that is the past and this is now'.

DarkClaw nods. 'I cannot undo what is done. I can only move forward.'.

Seraph says, 'true enough'.

DarkClaw says, 'I've taken enough of your time. Thank you for the audience.'.

Seraph says, 'of course, Star. We are old friends'.

DarkClaw nods.

Seraph says, 'and bitter enemies'.

DarkClaw says, 'Strange how time has brought us here.'.

Seraph rushes towards you and licks your jaw line.

Seraph breaths into your ear softly: *Funny, isnt it?*

DarkClaw blinks and takes a step back, a look of wariness crossing her features. "What're you doing?"

Seraph rushes in again. Faster then light, his lips gently touches yours - almost a kiss.
Seraph whispers softly: *Fun is all we have, one way or another.*
Seraph turns and walks towards his throne.

DarkClaw whips away quickly, bringing a hand up to her lips, watching you retreat. "Have you lost your mind?"

Seraph stops dead in his tracks.
Seraph whispers, "No, just the opposite, Star. Your temple is calling, Star.

Seraph sits upon his throne of bones.

DarkClaw stays her position and says softly, "Why did you do that?"

Seraph says, 'We all make choices. Now, why ruin something fun with questions?'.

DarkClaw searches your face for a long moment, her lips parting, then closing, before she turns for the door.
DarkClaw pauses, her back to you. "There is one more thing..."

Seraph says, 'yes?'.

DarkClaw says, 'Do not let Jamilla find the phylactery.'.

((Darkclaw leaves))


Temple of the Lost
[Exits: west]
A large eye hovers in mid-air here, emitting a soft, purple glow.

Seraph appears before you.

Seraph says, 'why?'.
Seraph folds his hands behind his back.

DarkClaw starts at your sudden entrance and quickly turns to face you. "You do not know? She searches for it now. Always.'.

Seraph says, 'It will bring Venom back'.

DarkClaw says, 'Yes.'.

Seraph says, 'So why should I stop her?'.

DarkClaw raises a brow. "Are you now going to tell me you wish to have him return? The answer should be obvious.'.

Seraph says, 'Wait a minute.. YOU do not want him back!'.

DarkClaw says, 'I...'.
DarkClaw hesitates, looking away.

Seraph says, 'Personally, I do not care if he returns. Maybe he wants to destroy me - maybe he can - but I do not care'.

DarkClaw says, 'I both miss and hate his fire.'.

Seraph says, 'You created that demon, Star. You have to deal with it'.

DarkClaw lifts her gaze to yours again, "I am more worried about how the mortals will suffer upon his return than us."
DarkClaw says, 'I'm well aware of my errors.'.

Seraph grabs you by the back of you head and kisses you.
Seraph gives you a long and passionate kiss.

Seraph says, 'everything comes and goes. Mortals and gods live and die. It's life, Star'.

DarkClaw lets out a sound of protest against your lips and suddenly whips her head back and away. "STOP THAT!"

Seraph grins happily.

DarkClaw yanks free of your hold and takes a few steps away, putting distance between us.

Seraph says, 'What's the matter, Star?'.

DarkClaw says, 'You...'.

Seraph folds his hands behind his back.
Seraph says, 'me'.

Seraph laughs.

DarkClaw says, 'Stop toying with me.'.

Seraph says, 'toying?'.

DarkClaw says, 'Why the hell would you want to kiss me?'.

Seraph turns and walks towards the shadows.
Seraph says, 'oh, Star... live in the moment. Everything fades'.

DarkClaw watches you walk away, unsure of what to think or say.

Seraph steps into the shadows. *His voice echoes behind him:* Live in the moment, Star.
Seraph disappears instantly.

Seraph: night all

DarkClaw: ...Goodnight
