Angelian mutters a curse beneath her breath and leaped to her. She stumbles slightly but manages to keep up right and moves to try and stop the brother.

Lucifer's blood began to glow the same as his brother's eyes, and he was having trouble breathing. "Brother.... Gabe...."
His grip loosened slightly, but the effects didn't stop.
"When did you last hear that name?" managed Lucifer. "Have you even heard your name since my supposed death, Gabriel? I'm still your brother, even after everything you've done to me. And everything I've done to you."
Gabriel let go. "Lucifer. Just let me kill you already!"
"Gabe..."
He stared at him for a moment, then fled at supernatural speed.

She made to go after the male but turned and went to Lucifer instead. She held him gently. "Dang it. What do I need to do?" She looks in the direction the brother had ran too then back to Lucifer.

"Let him go," suggested Lucifer weakly. "He needs time to think. But like I said, we're still brothers. That's why I'm still alive. I don't think either of us has it in ourselves to kill each other. He'll be back, probably under a white flag. And then we can talk."

She nods a little. She shakes her head a bit. "You two take brotherly fighting to an entirely different level. We need to get you healed."

"I'll recover on my own. There's nothing you can do for this Blood Magic but let my blood start flowing right again."

She nods slightly at his words but she didn't like the idea if just sitting there and watching him try and heal.
"Can I move you? Need to at least get you some where safe."

"I'm the most ancient vampire of all time. I am quite capable of walking. But we should stay. No point making it harder for my brother to find us."

She was hesitant. "Forgive me if I still don't trust him." She shakes her head a bit but stayed put. She looks to her own wounds now. They were still refusing to heal but she focused on stopping the bleeding.

"I'd call you a fool if you did trust him. But Gabriel's my brother. Blood means a lot to vampires. So... We're good, right? I'm asking because of what Gabe said. About the war."

She pauses a little in her movements, thinking carefully before she spoke. "I believe you both were right but both wrong. At this point I don't trust any of you. Not even my own kind. I will help to keep the peace but when this is done, I will probably disappear. I've been out in the open too long as it is."

"That's not necessary. You're a hero. There's no telling what would have happened without you. You don't have to disappear ever again. And remember, I offered you a very important place at my side."

She arches a brow. "Hero to who? I am still part angel you know " She shakes her head and managed to get the bleeding to stop. "Just rest. You need it. "

"You've prevented a civil war. You should be proud." He closed his eyes and leaned against the cave wall.

She blinks a bit and looks at him. She watches him rest for a moment before looking away. A hero? Not exactly a title she wanted to hear again. She shakes off old memories and checks her wounds again.
That weapon had done more damage than she realized. Cursed blades. She sighs and looks out the cave opening quietly.

"It'll heal," muttered Lucifer, apparently knowing what she was thinking about. "I've seen some of my people survive holy weapons. This is exactly the same."

She blinks a little and looks over to him. "I know they will." She looks back out the opening. "Just not sure we have the time to wait for them to heal."

"Gabe will see sense. I know he will." Just moments later, he was dozing off.

She looks over at him, smiling a little. She truly hoped that he was right. Her eyes turn back to watching the opening now. Slowly the wounds started to heal, a painful process but slowly they did heal as Lucifer said they would. She tried to stay awake but struggled to do so after a while.

"I would like to speak with my brother alone." Gabriel's voice came from nowhere, clear to hear but with no physical origin to be seen.
Lucifer was awoken by his brother's disembodied voice, yawning as he stood. He looked better than he had before his rest.

She tenses slightly. Her eyes flicker as she looks around a bit. "How can I trust that you won't harm him if I leave you to talk to him?"

"Angelian. We've talked about this. He can't hear you anyway. He's just projecting his voice through the Fountain."
"You know where to be. And don't bring the girl. I'll know if you do."

She hesitated though. Then slowly nodded. "Fine...but If your not back or I don't hear from you in an hour, I will come looking."

"Deal. Don't expect to find me, though." He headed out to meet his brother.

She watches him leaving, standing at the entrance. She didn't like him going on his own. Not one bit but strangely she would respect his wish.

Nearly an hour later, Gabriel's voice sounded again: "Don't go running to find my brother. He's fine. We've come to an agreement." He sounded a bit unhappy about said agreement. "We'll be announcing it at the Square, if you'd like to come watch. We might need some good crowd control anyway. I get the feeling the masses will be even less happy than I am. They don't like change much, and our entire system is being altered here for the first time."

She arches a brow at the words. Remembering that Lucifer said he couldn't hear her so she didn't respond and started to make her way to the square.

Gabriel was waiting on the stage at the Square, and when looked at her, it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. Lucifer, who stood beside him, flashed her a brief smile before returning his gaze to the gathered masses.

Part of her was uneasy about this. She stayed to the side and out of reach of anyone. She didn't trust the situation completely but kept her expression blank and remained alert and aware.

"Hear, hear!" Gabriel called the crowd to attention, which of course they were already at. "Men, women, children, hear me! Me and my brother Lucifer have spoken at length about how we are to continue now. We may have tried to kill each other a few times, but that's how brothers are. In the end, we have come to a compromise, one that we find fair to each of us. Lucifer, if you would."
"Thank you, Gabriel. The conclusion that we came to is that a monarchy will no longer function in our community. It puts too much power in the hands of a single vampire, similarly to some certain Artifacts. We have agreed to co-king."
The words sounded alien. To Gabriel, to the crowds of vampires, even to Lucifer himself. Such a thing had never before been attempted. The crowd was already becoming less still, muttering among themselves.
"People! People, listen!" tried Lucifer.
"QUIET!" roared Gabriel. Immediately all speech ceased.
Lucifer glanced uneasily at his brother. "To settle any ties, we will decide on a Third for our Council. We already have one in mind, if they'll accept it." He glanced pointedly at Angelian.
