"So tell me, how did you like my little gift? I hope I treated your prized mutt as well as you expected, she was surprisingly feisty, especially when I took away that little gift you gave her." Sepheal smirked as he turned in the chair to look at his cousin but was shocked when he saw he had changed back but thought that he must have just dyed his hair or something.

Adaza just closed the door. Calmly he walked over to the chair his cousin was in and without warning grabbed Sepheal by the throat. He lifted him with ease before slamming him into the wall with great force. With one hand he had trapped his cousin by the throat and lifted him up slightly so his feet couldn't touch the floor. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't snap your neck for hurting her." Adaza hissed darkly, multiple voices coming from him. His eyes slowly began to glow a deep crimson red as his skin faded into it's old former tone. Demonic-like claws formed piercing Sehpeal's skin as they did. Echos of bones cracking and unholy groans danced slowly in the air. The air grew cold as he tighten his grip, Sehpeal's guards froze in fear as they watch demonic-bat like wings slowly sprout from Adaza's back. "W-waht are y-you?!" One of them managed to whimper out before falling back onto the floor in fear.

"Easy, I have the house surrounded." Sepheal said calmly before he started to have trouble breathing. He was surprised at the sudden change but just sneered at his cousin. "I always knew you were an unholy creature. You should have died years ago." he sneered more before fading his hand and went to shove it into Adaza's chest more to make him let go then anything really

Adaza's body erupted into the dark purple flames as his gripped tightened. He didn't care if they were surrounded, no one was dumbed enough to attack a Reaper. Legends were told of his subclass but only was demonic creatures that were omens of destruction and death; even he as a child feared them. When Sehpeal's hand faded into his chest, he felt nothing, instead his body began to steal his life. Slowly it ate away at his hand turning it into ashes up to the elbows. He dropped his cousin onto the floor as frost made its way from the completely covered ceiling. "If you ever touch a woman I care for again Sehpeal. I swear to my very core, nothing will save you." The voices hissed venomously, his eyes began to mist with a darkness as he glared at the so called King.

"Argh! How dare you! I swear you WILL pay for this Adaza!" Sepheal snarled before his men quickly moved to help him as they left quickly to get him medical attention luckily none of them having noticed that Kiyan was still alive.

Adaza just glared as his cousin ran with the help of his men, threats, thats all he ever did. Only with someone to hide behind did he ever act on them. Adaza just followed him out into the hallway. He watched as he scampered off and around the corner. He wanted nothing better than to have crushed his throat, why he didn't was beyond him. Instead his arm was gone, it's life energy was stirring inside of him. It had a bitter taste even for his darkest form. He turned to leave but stopped seeing Lynia. She stared at him, fear in her eyes. She screamed before running off to hide. "Daddy! There's a monster!" She screamed running down the hall. Adaza just slowly faded back to normal, he was unsure what to do. "Lynia!" He called out before running after her, forcing himself to ignore the pain.

Kiyan was making her way down the halls with the help of the wall mostly but was soon surprised as she heard Lynia screaming and then felt her little arms around one of her legs. "Lynia, sweetie, what's wrong?" she asked as she stopped then knelt down to give the frightened little girl a hug and listened to her cry about a monster. She knew what she was talking about and wondered why Adaza had shifted but figured that he was probably back to normal after hearing his daughter scream. "here why don't we go to the dining room I'm sure your father will meet us there." she smiled softly before taking the little girls hand as she nodded and they made their way to the dining room for breakfast.

Adaza ran around the manor in the direction his daughter had set off in. For a little girl she was fast when she was scared. He came to a stop when he saw Lynia with Kiyan, they were heading to the dining room. He sighed softly before walking towards them. "Lynia." He called out to his daughter, she turned and dropped Kiyan's hand when she saw her daddy. He knelt down as she ran to him. He wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up. He held her as she told him about the monster. "Lynia, my love. That wasn't a monster." He tried to explain to his daughter. She looked at him confused, her little eyes filled with tears. He wasn't sure how to explain it to her. "It hurt Uncle Sehpeal!" She cried to her daddy. "Lynia the creature you saw will never hurt you. I promise." He told her in defeat. He slowly started to walk towards the dining room but stopped near Kiyan. Lynia just looked at her sadly, she didn't understand why there was a monster in the house and why her daddy said it would never hurt her. It hurt Uncle Sehpeal, so wouldn't it hurt someone else.

Adaza just grabbed Kiyan's hand to forced her over to him and Lynia. He set Kiyan down before turning to Kiyan. "Here, lean on me." He simply said, he didn't want to fight and it looked like she could use the help. Lynia just watched as her daddy offered her new mommy help.

Kiyan smiled reassuringly to Lynia when she heard the little girl talking to her father, how could it be explained that that 'monster' was Adaza? And he certainly wouldn't hurt Lynia. "A-Adaza i'm okay really" Kiyan said trying to keep the blush away as she felt Adaza pulling her towards himself. She certainly was stubborn though, she really didn't like having help but she was okay right now and didn't want to be babied.

Adaza just narrowed his eyes slightly. "You can accept the offer or be carried." He simply said to Kiyan. If she was having to use the wall as a crutch then she needed help to the dining room. He personally had no problem flipping her over his shoulder and carrying her into the dining room, he was sure she knew that. "It's okay Mamma. You can have Daddy help." Lynia said sweetly and smiled. She liked the fact having a mother, though she didn't understand why her new mom was sleeping in a different room then her daddy. Weren't married people suppose to share rooms, she didn't know why but that's what Uncle Kayo said when she asked why he and her Aunt slept in the same room. "Momma, why do you and daddy sleep in different rooms?" Adaza just looked at his daughter, he wasn't touching this question. His face slowly started to turn red from his daughter's question. "I am not touching this topic." He simply stated before turning around and walking off. Lynia just watch her daddy walk off and wonder why he was walking in the opposite way of the dining room.

Kiyan huffed at Adaza but nodded and was about to let him help her when she heard Lynia and her face actually started to turn red as well. "W-wait! A-Adaza that's not fair!" Kiyan exclaimed before leaning against the wall her face still rather red as she knelt down to Lynia's height. "Well... you see Lynia... me and your daddy don't know each other that well yet... it may take quite some time you see... for us to feel comfortable staying that close." she explained as best she could. "Now why don't we go ahead to the dining room." she offered with a smile as she stood back up and offered the little girl her hand once more

Adaza just waved Kiyan off as he turned the corner. He didn't want to be involved with the questions his daughter was asking. It was directed at Kiyan. Besides he was sure she would give him an earful later for the topic Lynia had decided to chose for the walk, that and him ditching her to the curious little girl. He knew his daughter and her curiosity, that would be the least embarrassing question. Kayo always made sure to confuse her so she had to seek answers from him.

Lynia just gently took her mother's hand. "But Uncle Kayo didn't know Auntie before he started to share a room with her." She stated confused about Kiyan's answer. "Why do married people share rooms?" She asked just as curious as before. "Uncle Kayo said it had something to do with babies. What do babies have to do with sharing a room?" She looked up at Kiyan with her big childish eyes. "Momma why is your and Papa's face red?" She didn't understand.

Oh how Kiyan would get on Adaza for this later, how could he leave her to answer his daughters questions like this?! "That's right Lynia it does normally have to do with babies, but it will have to wait until you're older for you to find out how okay?" she offered softly thinking a bit "Well I don't know about Kayo and his wife but you have to be able to get along with someone really well to be able to share a room with them, me and you're Daddy just aren't that close yet okay?" she offered but to some part of her she did hope that they would become closer. "Well... that's easy, sometimes your face gets red when you're embarrassed and right now that's a really embarrassing topic. You know that me and your uncle aren't dark elves right? well our kind doesn't bond like elves do, we have a special way of our own to show who is our husband or wife." she explained softly then smiled at Lynia softly. "You know if it wasn't for your daddy bonding with me I wouldn't be up walking around, he really helped me." she explained softly not knowing if Lynia knew about Kiyan bringing her back to life or not but it didn't really matter.

Lynia just pouted, no one ever really answered her questions. She didn't understand how her questions were embarrassing, they were just words. Lynia knew Kiyan and her uncle weren't dark elves, it was very obvious even to her. "What is your bounding like?" She asked excitedly. Would that make them married twice? She questioned herself, it was confusing, how many times did someone need to be married. If her father bounded with Kiyan then did Kiyan not consider herself married to her daddy since she had a different bounding ritual. Lynia let go of Kiyan's hand. She looked at Kiyan sadly as she stopped walking. "If you're bounding is different, then your not married to my Daddy?" She was sad at that thought and it was clearly written on her face.

Adaza turned the corner to see Kayo walking towards the dining room. He grabbed his good arm as he walk passed him, dragging him as he continued to walk away from the dining room. "I would avoid the dining room, Lynia is inquisitive this morning." He told his friend. He would just have a maid bring them food so they could avoid the embarrassing topic his daughter decided on. "Don't be surprised if your sister hunts me down and screams at me." He told him plainly. "I left her with Lynia, so she will find out how curious she really is." Adaza let go of Kayo's arm as he stopped in front of garden. He was laughing on the inside that for once it wasn't him dealing with the embarrassing topics brought on by Kayo and his loud mouth.

"Well... I guess it is similar in some ways... we do share energy with the one that we bond with just like dark elves but our ritual also involves being blessed by one of the spirits of nature, or at least the priest that serves under them... in my culture the spirits of nature would be like... the people that rule over the king so to speak, they have a great influence over the government, even the leaders." Kiyan explained... or at least tried to, it was kind of hard to explain really. She then knelt down and looked at Lynia softly really unsure about this but figured it was just Lynia so it was okay "when your daddy is ready, this was a bit of a surprise for both of us, like I said my rituals aren't the same as yours... there's a chance that it won't work if we're not ready" she explained softly hoping to calm the little girl. "but how you see me is up to you Lynia, i care very very much about you, I'm surprised you would call me you mother but it does make me happy, whatever you feel like calling me or thinking of me as is just fine." she smiled softly

"Uh oh... Adaza what did you do to get her started?" Kayo asked curiously but had a feeling he might already know... Lynia had asked him so many questions about how him and his wife would bond it wasn't even funny.

Lynia tried to grasp what Kiyan was saying, though she wasn't doing a very good job it it. "So daddy is the one not really to bond with you?" She questioned Kiyan. Thats all she really could understand from Kiyan's words. That and it was different from her race's ritual. "But daddy likes you, Uncle Kayo said he does." She said telling Kayo's secret conversation with his assistant, she was getting more and more confused as she spoke. "He said you and daddy were funny because you both secretly like each other but won't sleep together already." She spoke unsure what what he meant by that. "He said it would do you some good to release some tension." She looked up at Kiyan. "What does he mean by that, momma?" She still would consider Kiyan her mother even if her daddy and her were only bond by their ritual.

Adaza just shook his head lightly. "I did not start this topic, I merely went to check on Lynia after she saw me in my Reaper form." He said crossing his arms over his chest. "Sehpeal was in my study this morning, I snapped and transform while pinning him into the wall by his throat. I turned his arm into ash when he went to grab my heart, he left threatening me again." He didn't care for his threats, they never bothered him. He knew Sehpeal would never hurt Lynia and he thought Kiyan was dead, what could he do to hurt him. "When I ran after Lynia I noticed your sister having trouble, she was using the wall to make her way to the dining room. I offered her help. That's when Lynia started asking questions on why we slept in different rooms." He looked at his friend with narrow eyes. "She only knows that from your big mouth." He simply stated to his friend. He dared his friend to deny it, he didn't want her to know about marriage or sharing rooms with men until she was older but Kayo saw it differently.

Kiyan turned blood red as she heard Lynia but just tried to smile at her some. "Um... don't worry about that right now, uncle Kayo is just being mean." she said before they reached the dining room and she helped the girl into her seat before sitting next to her. "Now how about we settle down and eat okay?" she offered with a smile as she food was set out and Kiyan easily fixed herself and Lynia a plate before starting to eat

"Hey don't blame me, she went to mine and my wifes wedding and has came over to visit several times so she knows that we sleep in the same room, and i'm not the one that said anything about you and Kiyan sleeping in different rooms, she must have figured that out herself since she knows that Kiyan is in the room halfway down the hall from yours." Kayo pointed out with a shrug before smiling a little at his friend. "do you feel any better after decintigrating his arm?" he asked more in a joking manner.

Lynia just sat in her chair, she looked at the plate a maid place down in front of her. Her pancakes made a smiled with fruits and cream. She smiled at the cut up pancakes. "Uncle Kayo also said that Daddy might need more then one night to help you with all your tension. Is daddy helping you with something?" She asked before taking a rather large bite of her pancakes. She thought it was funny how her mother was turning colors, though she didn't fully understand why. Was what Uncle Kayo really being mean when he said those things. She took another bite of her pancakes and smiled at the sweetness. She loved pancakes.

Adaza just shook his head. "Do not deny it Kayo. You wanted to have the birds and bees topic with her. I remember it like it was yesterday. I have never been more embarrassed then the day she followed me around the manor asking about babies and how they were made." He said glaring, it was shortly after Kayo and his wife just had their son that Kayo decided to tell her the story. "Granted she probably found out about us in different rooms on her own but she would have thought nothing of it. However, you told her all married couples slept in the same room." He stated. He smirked slightly when his friend changed the subject. "I do but at the same time, my stomach is uneased. Sehpeal's energy made my stomach twist in disgust." Adaza unfolded his arms and touched his stomach with one hand as the other fell to his side. "Even his life is disgusting." He said plainly to his friend.

Kiyan's face was still blood red as she Heard Lynia but then just cleared her throat a bit. "Why don't we talk about something else? how have you been feeling?" she asked softly knowing she would have quite a few choice words for her brother once Lynia was done eating.

"hey I didn't want to, she just kept asking how Damien got in Dina's stomach, all I told her was that it was because me and Dina love each other and spend time alone together." he shrugged slightly

Lynia just frown a little, she took another bite of her pancakes and chewed slowly. She swallowed before speaking softly. "I'm fine. Just confused." She said softly poking at her food. She never got answers, at least to the topics she had with her Uncle Kayo or when she asked about something she over heard him say. Was she saying something she wasn't suppose to? She wasn't sure, frankly she was scared to ask. She didn't want to be in trouble, not with her new mother. "Are you feeling better?" She asked shyly, she remembered her father telling her to leave Kiyan alone but she didn't listen. She also remembered him sending her out to play once he had caught her.

Adaza just rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Have not you heard of changing the subject. You should not talk to children, you make everything worse." He said picking on his friend. A day with Lynia's inquisitive nature would tell him that. All Kayo did was make things worse when he talked to Lynia, she got more curious and ask allot more questions. Adaza just took off his coat, "I am going to go train. You're sister and my daughter are in the dining room. Do not answer correctly to her questions, just change the subject." He told his friend warning before leaving Kayo in the hallway.

"I'm sorry Lynia, I promise I'll tell you when you're older" Kiyan said softly before smiling a bit and nodding "Yes i am thank you for asking." she smiled easily before continuing to eat. Soon Kiyan was finished with breakfast and took Lynia to where her teacher was waiting before heading off to find Adaza or her brother.

Kayo laughed a bit but nodded and walked off to talk to his assistant for awhile since he knew Kiyan would probably be looking for him or Adaza soon.

Adaza had his eyes closed, the sound of the birds chirping softly in the background. He took a deep breath as he elegantly move out of habit. He wasn't training with any weapons today, just martial arts. His coat was resting on a step near by. He was enjoying the peace as he took slow and even breaths. By now his daughter should have been with her tutor, Kiyan would probably come interrupting the peace he rather enjoyed rather sooner than later.

"Adaza you're cruel you know that right? Leaving me to answer your daughters questions like that..." Kiyan said as she spotted Adaza and walked outside to where he was. "Oh and where's my brother? I think I want to kill him" she said looking around a bit thinking that Kayo might be there with Adaza but didn't see him.

Adaza just sighed and straighten up. He just looked at Kiyan and folded his arms over his chest. "I simply told you I was not touching the subject, you could have just simply told her not to talk about that. She does classify you as her mother now, exercise the rights." He plainly told her. He didn't care if she yelled at him for telling her to use that as an excuse to avoid the embarrassing questions, after all he did. He noticed she was looking around, probably for her brother. A piercing sharp pain shot through his head behind his left eye suddenly, he covered his left eye in pain and lightly grunted from the pain. He turned from Kiyan, he was slightly hunched over. "Kayo is not here, try the library or his assistant." Pain slightly lingering in his voice.

"You can't just ignore all of her questions though, she gets upset." Kiyan frowned but then got worried as she saw Adaza's pain and moved over to him "Are you okay?" she asked worriedly hoping that he was but it seemed like there was something wrong.
