Sybil sat reading through the tome that was really thick and she was making notes. Going through the stores here because that was asked of her. Over the week that she had been here she finally got a handle on where she needed to start. Aries hadn’t told her exactly what he’d like her to help with most while she was here yet. Just help them and she could start by going through what they had. Sounded like he wanted her to get familiar with this room. He wasn’t going to bother her with his main need until she was rested and able. He was very adamant that she be healthy and whole. Sybil kind of liked the chivalry that he was showing. Though she would like to just start now, she didn’t do well with idle hands. Hence why she was down here trying to figure out these stores. If this was where she was to stay for the time being. Especially working with Aries and his people for her tres

“I’d like you to explain what you just did. What you think this is and how you knew what to do.” Sybil bit her lip slightly and leaned against the counter there thinking for a moment. Then started to explain what she did, what she used. “It was really the energy that made me think of what to do. What was wrapping around the child wasn’t physically doing anything. It was feeding off the energy, draining the unborn of its very life. The parasite like thing that came out is just a tool for what is really feeding. There’s malice there, a hate toward your kind I could feel and a joy at what it was doing. What it was stopping.” Sybil felt a little sick at the idea of being happy at killing something so innocent.“Are you sure you know what this is?” She nodded. Clearly the demonic had a serious issue going o

Fire raced out in all directions consuming the floor below and then upward. There was a scream from a good number of spider demons as they were lit ablaze. The rest had no choice but to come up to escape the flames. Aries shouted for more to be lit and thrown down. No hesitation, they were lit and thrown. However several nasty looking spiders as big as a man came crawling out. That was when the fighting started in earnest up here.  There were snarls, hissing and clicks as Aries people and these demons fought. However the most dangerous demon was still not up. Only a handful of minutes, but now the entire area down below was a blaze and the heat coming out of that hole was intense. They had to back up, however that also meant the spider demons could not go down. A large number of them were burning and the smell was atrocious. Something huge shot out of the hole and had gripped the ceiling above them.

Sybil went up the stairs with her small bag. She had grabbed what she needed and Daral had come back and looked more concerned. He also had this more sedate pace too as he walked. She noted that a few others they passed also seemed oddly more sedate. There was just this subdued feeling to them and the energy. As they came up the stairs and into Aries rooms she felt it even more. Though it just washed over her and she pushed it out.  “Daral, what does being Prime really mean? It seems like more than just a name for status.” He looked at her and it seemed like his eyes were a bit more tired. Perhaps a bit more dull too.  “Our people used to be many. There are many types, or what I think you’d call ethnicities. Werewolf, Lycan, guardian, shifter, just all names other species call us in their tongue. Then there’s always social level isn’t there? You hav

“Walk where?” Sybil asked and caught her gaze moving over him. He was wearing a dark shirt that hugged him well. She bit her lip for a moment, but collected herself.  “How much of the keep have you seen? I feel that you have been living down here since you arrived. I did say you wouldn’t be a captive or jailed. Feels a bit like I’m lying if you just stay down here where there isn’t even a window.” He glanced back at her stepping and motioned for her to go through the door first. She felt a tiny smile at the chivalrous display.  “Not much, and there has been a great need here. So it was self imposed nothing to feel odd about.” She told him as they went into the hall and walked together. It felt easy and natural to walk side by side. He automatically shortened his stride to hers and she found herself walking just slightly faster but neither realized i
