Thread: Portal - Darkness Dawning (Black_Out and Eternal Thrill)

Sebastian observed Eve in earnest as she selected what she was taking along in her satchel before she made her way towards the heavy set of double doors that led into the waiting unknown beyond it. As she moved towards the door his eyes fell over a tripod arranged out on the balcony and immediately his brows shot upward as he saw the looking glass perched atop the steady stand. Eve was listening intently at the door as Sebastian stabbed out onto the balcony, moving with barely a sound as he dipped into a low posture and stretched his hand out to pluck the back end of the looking glass up off where it was nestled atop the tripod. By the time she turned back around he was on his way back, twisting the layers of metal tubes into a more compact size. This should help, and don't worry, I'm about as quiet as they come. He spoke in a hushed tone as he slid the spy glass into an interior pocket laced into the heavy cloak that blanketed him in warmth. You, and me, both. Lightly Sebastian settled his hand on her shoulder and gave a comforting squeeze before drawing away. And I guess I'm as ready as can be, lead the way my lady. He murmured as he stood silently behind Evelina as she silently drew one of the heavy wooden doors of her parents bedroom open. It was quiet, save for the echoing muffled noises of the walking dead that were coming from the beyond the spiraling stairs that led back towards the sickening sight of the massacre in the ballroom. Sebastian kept himself tucked up along the wall while he followed in Eve's wake and moved with no noticeable sound as they made their way towards the distant seeming servants door at the end of the hall. Every step was cautious, every place his hand or foot would pass was examined with studious care in an effort to be wary of anything that might cause noise to arise from his passing. She seemed equal to the task, and the confident driven demeanor that his new found acquaintance exuded offered him some reassurance to their chances of getting out of this alive. Arriving safely and without incident at the doorway, Sebastian watched the opened archway that led into the spirals stairs from where the moaning wails of the undead were coming from while Eve began to open the doorway. The loud ringing voice of Radagast cut over the echoing muted moans and sent a chill down the rogues back as he slid behind Eve and into the opened servants access door. Sebastian quickly drew the door closed, but the voice of Radagast was not stifled from their ears as it carried through the manor. Your blood has bound you to the pages of the Grimoire of Death and it compels you to serve with utter loyalty to those who possess its power. Awaken and serve the High Council of Magi again, Lord and Lady Thompson. Awaken and serve once more Lady Prudence and let your song bring death to those of the living. Awaken and serve me again Sir Barrot and Sir Gulias, may your swords keep me from harm. There was a moment of pause as Sebastian looked to Evelina and whispered towards her ear. Stores are mostly closed, it's a holiday. We might be able to get into a general store and not have to worry about anyone being there, unlike the kitchen, which was fully staffed for the party. He kept a careful eye on her as he proceeded to follow her lead. Lord and Lady Thompson, I leave you to attend to your guests and the festivities here within your home. May you live this moment out for all eternity. My sweet songbird, Lady Prudence, I beckon you to wander the streets and sing your song of death to those that still reek of life. My guards, our presence is no longer needed here, come along. The foul voice of the malicious wizard sounded from the ballroom one last time, before falling into silence as he made his departure from the estate.
