She felt the breath she had been holding release and relaxes a little. Then rolls her eyes at his comment. "I tried regular blood. Didn't work." She checks him over. Then looks to him. "Rexeth is fighting Zerron. The cowardly king ran off." Then she adds. "And when this is all over ,we have some magic training to talk about."

"Magic training? No need. I'm already trained in Blood Magic, what I use the Book for. This one was a draw. And if you're worrying about me, don't. I would've recovered from that spell eventually. I wasn't its target. You just quickened the process a bit. I should reprepare the spell, get the Chalice ready for him. But just in case, we'll need a backup plan: Do you have access to any holy weapons?"

She sighs and shakes her head a bit before she stepped away from him.
Once she was sure she wasn't close enough, she thought back to the moment in the cave and let that energy out again, letting it coat her skin. She kept it there for a moment. "The magic training would be for me and as for a holy weapon, I think I can help with that too."

He scattered back when she activated her magic, his face pale. "Turn that off! Are you saying that while I was out, you activated holy magic? And.... unintentionally? Man, I hate holy magic. I've had some close calls with it, unpleasant ones, and lost some good men to it too. Just.... Keep that under control around me, preferably off, and we can talk more about the weapons."

As he scattered back from her she felt hurt. She calmed her mind and the magic disappeared. She looks away from him and nods. "The daggers I carry are holy but the blessing on them is weak. I can rebless them."
She looks back at him. "Any normal weapon can be made into a holy weapon when blessed by an angel. During the war we always blessed our own weapons the eve of every battle." Her eyes flicker slightly.

"Hey, um.... Sorry about just now. It's just.... Holy magic is not a welcome sight for vampires. It was a bit of a shock.
Now, we need a plan. I'd say I go back to the Fountain, prepare the spell again. Then we find my brother, you fight him with holy weapons, and I come at him with the Chalice while he's dealing with you. Either the weapons or the spell will kill him."

She shakes her head. "Forget about it. I should be used to it." She shakes he head them focuses on the plan. "I'll fight him. Drawing him out might be challenging though and what about the law for one on one?"

"Hey, it's in our nature to react negatively toward holy magic. It's an unborn fear, like fire and wooden stakes.
And the Ancient Law Rexeth mentioned? If I challenge him one on one, and have an equal or greater claim to the throne, he must accept. But then Zerron aided him in battle, and he ran away while I yet lived. Disqualification and forfeit. By law, he has already lost and is now resisting arrest for treason and loss of the challenge. Death is his punishment now."

His words didnt ease her but it wasnt his fault. She knew that.
She nods at his words. "Then he shall die. Let's get you back to the fountain and see if I can draw out the coward." She draws her daggers and begins the process of blessing them as they moved.

"Drawing him out will be hard," considered Lucifer. "But maybe not necessary. Some of his blood was spilt during our fight. I can use it to track him, with the right spell. The Artifacts are our ace in the hole. We can't lose them."

She nods at his words. Once done with blessing her daggers, she sheaths them. "If he thinks you are dead then it may be a little easier to draw him out."

"He probably thinks Rexeth us dead, too. Two for one. And he might be right. That or Zerron found him, in which case we're screwed."

She shakes her head. "Not screwed. We can do this. You may not lol it... but if we can't get near him....i just need to be in the same area."

Before Lucifer could respond, they reached the cave and found its entrance broken open over Zerron's corpse.
"That's a good sign." As they walked further in, they found Rexeth laying dead. "Never mind. He fought bravely to his last breath, and died valiantly. He sacrificed himself for us." But despite his calm manner, it was clear he was devestated. A good friend lost. "Let's get this over with."

The sight of the first had eased her but the sight of Rexeth was no ease at all. She looks to Lucifer and nods a little at his words. His grief, she felt it as if it was her own.

He did a quick locating spell, then laughed. "He's in the castle. Same panic room we used, under the throne. I'll meet you there as soon as the spell is ready."

She nods at his words and takes off quickly towards the castle so she could get to the king.

Lucifer began preparing the death spell while his brother watched the throne room from below, waiting on news about Rexeth and Lucifer.

Once she reached the castle, she kept out of sight. Moving as swiftly and as quickly as she could to get to the panic room. It took some time but she managed to reach the door.

Lucifer filled the Chalice, finishing his chant, while his brother paced nervously in the panic room, starting to worry about Zerron and the witnesses.

Once she reached the throne room, she looked around. She knew he was in the panic room but getting him out was another thing.
She moves her wings a little and thought back to how Lucifer had gotten into the room as she moves towards the door.
She pauses slightly, something didn't feel right. She glances around a little

The brother stopped as he saw Angelian at the edge of the screen. She'd been stealthy to get as far as she had, but you couldn't cross the throne room undetected.
So, she was alive. That wasn't good. And she was after him. Even worse. Did she really know where he was? How could she?

She tilts her head as she eyes the room carefully. It was strange ,she felt more alive now than ever before. This reminded her so much of the war days.
Lickng at her fangs a little she smirks slightly. Now how to draw a rabbit out of hiding.

I have to get back to the Fountain. If I can use that, I can kill her. The question is..... How do I get past her? Hmm.....
He pressed two buttons on the screen, one that opened the trapdoor and the other to self-destruct. It blew up the panic room, the throne room above and many surrounding parts of the castle, causing the entire area to collapse in on itself. That would take years to repair, more than he would care to count, but it would be worth it. It was his only chance. He ran from the flames and Angelian with the goal of escaping to the Fountain.

Her eyes widen as she felt the sudden vibrations of explosions beneath her feet. She turns and took off trying to get out of the way of the explosions.
As she tried to fly out ,some of the debris struck her right shoulder and left wing. She hit the ground hard.
Wincing she rolled to her side to get back up. That was when she saw the brother taking off through the flames. No, she had to get to him.
Her wing was already in the process of healing as she got up again and took off after him. She ran as fast as she could until her wing was healed. She hasn't realized she had been burned as well but as soon as her wing was healed she took to the sky after the brother swiftly.

Ah. So the flames hadn't contained her long enough. Should have expected that from a hybrid. He himself had gotten out untouched by fire and shrapnel alike, using his speed and head start to his advantage.
He had to reach the Fountain. He pushed himself even harder, trying his hardest to outrun her, quickly picking up speed.

Her eyes flicker slightly. She still wasn't fast enough to keep up with the male as he got well ahead of her.
Her body in the process of trying to heal as she gave chase.

Almost there.... The cave was nearly in sight....
He came to almost a complete stop at the sight of the broken cave entrance and the similarly broken body of Zerron beside it. He tried to move again, but it was too late. He'd given Angelian the chance she needed.

As soon as she caught sight of him ,she pushed herself to the last of her strength. Taking advantage of his still form, she slammed into him from behind, attempting to pin him to the ground.

He pulled out his dagger and tried to plunge it into her stomach. "Fool! What are you fighting me for? You may be strong, but you can't kill me! You saw what happened when my brother snapped my neck and tore out my heart."
