Thread: A Sanguine Moon (Aeneus x ProxyZero)

Sapphire kept close to the outskirts of the once beautiful kingdom, but now it was tainted by the blood of fallen citizens and the vampires that drank them as well. She was cloaked in a dark brown cape and let the hood cover her eyes. Not like they weren't covered already by her helmet though. The cape was also tattered and coated in blood of a dead dog as well, She couldn't have those vampires finding her out by the scent of blood already! She was practically holding her breath as she walked about quietly. One hand stayed behind her back and the other right at her side. She wasn't exactly looking to kill... No... Killing right now would be too sloppy and noticeable for those damn vampires. She only had to kill when she needed too, but then again the more dead vampires the better right? Well then... They've swarmed this place like insects... This will not be an eaay task, but I must retrieve my armor set... these light pieces will only get me killed against these... these things... Sapphire sighed heavily and continued to close in to the closest entrance. She had to get past them some how. Her thoughts drifted over to the vampire that had taken this place over. She only heard his name once or twice too. It was hard to remember, but the name Lucius did ring a bell. Let's see here... ugh... what's that horrible scent? A lower vampire had been patrolling the roads and she knelt down once she saw something rather put of the ordinary... at least for being on the ground. It was a golden necklace with a sapphire pendant. Now that's a rather interesting find... She chuckled and picked it up and brushed the dirt and dried blood away. It must have been lost in the battle She chuckled and slowly stood up. Something to show Eri- ack... ulp... W...What...? The vampie started choking... on her own blood. A silver knife made it's way around her neck and sliced right into her throat. Sapphire never liked killing people, but then again these monsters weren't people to her. The vampire turned around and tried to throw a quick jab her way. Her hands had a red glow to them which was the only magic she could use in such a state. This didn't matter to Sapphire though, with a side step and a swift slicing motion she had gotten her right in the face. AAAACK! She screamed loudly, and with that Sapphire attenoted not to curse but finished the vampire off with the silver dagger plunged into her heart. Mother of... this could be bad... lady Merideth I pray you deliver me from this... I need to flee immediately! She spoke to herself and retrieved her knife and the sapphire pendant. She put it on quickly and sighed in relief. Huh... thought I would lose this little thing forever... welp. There wasn't any time to stay relieved though. Sapphire quickly fled into the darkness to stay hidden. All she needed to di was scout for information and somehow get her armor set back, she had hoped that they didn't find her secret room within the temple. Althought even uf they had it woukd be tough getting in without the key and since dark magic was mostly nullified within it's walls it wouldn't help, but that nullification was only temporary now and was dwindling down. So Sapphire continued on her way to the temple, the temole she watched over for so long. She couldn't be too hasty or rush, that would only get her struck down by lord knows what. The vampires that took over really were like ants though, she would watch them patrol the streets and even wondered if any heard the blood curdling shriek of their own being slain. Perhaps vampires of the other side went instead to investigate? Or maybe they didn't care about their own enough to check it out. No matter the situation at hand here she couldn't be off focused at all. Her very life would depend on getting inside that temple, she was just one simple woman too. Harmless to the eyes, but underestimation would be anyone's number one mistake half the time. She was no warrior goddess, she was no knight or queen, But Sapphire was strong and drermined to protect her holy siblings and any who needed the guiding light of her and her goddess.
