............in Royal Albert Hall, Ahndree visits Celia while she is checking on the progress of stage preparations.
[20:02] Ahndree Gallas plays calmly his face neutral and almost considered serious for his usual brightness. He was playing with the same skill and depth as usual, however, his performance was soft and calm, meditative to some level. He played his eyes following the keys and the sounds as if trying to take them all meaningfully
[20:08] Celia Mellison raises her chin slowly as she heard the music filled the large hall, her eye lids fall heavily then re-opening; reminding her a moment of past that never faded away from her mind.. she turns her head looking over her shoulder..sad look behind her deep blue eyes. Yes, indeed she could tell it was Ahndree..the way he played piano..she could recognize..and all the memories along with..a whispering voice, "Ahndree..you are here" said Celia.
[20:09] Ahndree Gallas continued playing with his unreadable expression as he spoke softly "I hope I am not disturbing you, my child..."
[20:12] Celia Mellison's hand reached for her skirt then she walked down the steps leading towards to piano, " you are certainly not disturbing me.."..looking down carefully not to get herself triped down.."
[20:15] Ahndree Gallas would keep playing and speaking in a flat tone that was like a hand caressing a piece of silk laying on a soft bed "you know what I love about this Aria? Goldberg used to say that it was a reflection of how happiness can be chased and sometimes reached though temporarily..." he smiles for himself, softly as he continues
[20:24] Celia Mellison stood behind after she rested her cold hands over his shoulder, holding there..she tilts her head to side as he continued to play never giving a glimps of look. A weak smile appeared on Celia's face with much efford to hide her feelings as she could not help not to remember the day she met him in his studio..and the piece he was playing that day..she hang onto those memories so long..As all those thoughts crossed in her dead heart, Celia looked over to the keys speaking in whisper again, " I suppose that be a true statement.." looking back at him again, as her eyes travelled through his face, " it has been long time..I have come to believe..happinesses no longer real but an illusion".
[20:30] Ahndree Gallas would stop suddendly, however he managed a way to make the notes fall in place as he stood in silence with her hands over his shoulders and slowly reached one of them with one of his own "You are sad... I might no longer own you... but a father knows the emotions of his daughter quite well..." he says, his face still on the piano
[20:41] Celia Mellison icy wind whipped Celia's hair around her face as the currency changed outside of the hall, wearing her dark skirt. Celia's hands were cold, her lips and cheeks were numb, but she stood facing his back..she felt his hand over her hand..she knew he was able to read her regardless how much she exhausted herself blocking him. Today was not one of those days..she was alone with him and feeling safety along with it. Celia's long black lashes fell once closing as she spoke to him, as her full lips draw gentle smile that failing to cover her sadness in fact, " ..seeing you here...playing the piano.." she paused alittle then she looked way changing the subject, " I have not seen you awhile..I am glad you are here.." said Celia despite of the fact she wanted to say so much more.
[20:42] Ahndree Gallas would rub her hand gently with his thumb as he slowly stood up, not releasing her hand and stood in front of her, leaning to place his forehead with hers "I can sense your pain, my child... to keep it from me... only causes the abyss to grow deeper inside my troubled and intrigued unbeating heart..."
[20:48] Celia Mellison nodded her head slowly as her eyes avoided looking into his eyes, she knew she could not efford to that. No, she was not going to do that...she spoke as her head low looking at his body near her, " you shall not be troubled ...you know I can not efford that.." tilting her head, she brought her other hand resting on his chest, " this is not the time for sadness.." she said softly..then looking back on the stage, she again changed the subject " as you can see the stage is slowly being built.."
[20:50] Ahndree Gallas would allow her to rest on his chest as he embraced her with his arms as he nods to her "I hope I get to see it finished..." he says with a deep longing in his voice as if it was something not certain for someone who care not for time. He stood silent there, caressing her back and her hair before speaking for a second time "you are right... it is not time for sadness... which is the reason why I came to see you..." he then would turn noticing Sais at the entrance and turned to their language
[20:51] Tyrus Olbers :::: I came, because I do not know how much time I have left...
[20:51] Ahndree Gallas: ((in Vampire)): o' hutr sicrate o' io etr hutr etr hutr o' hutr sicrate
[20:52] Sais strolls up and knocks lightly on the wooden seat as she watches the two of them talk. She is keeping her distance, not aiming to do anything... rash. "Ah... hello there, both of you. I just wanted to ask you something..." she says, giving a small bow
[20:58] Celia Mellison does not move as her eyes locked on Ahndree understanding his words as each word he uttered shuttered her down to milliion pieces like a cystral glass..she was motionless and speechless stood within his embrace..this time catching crimson reflection within his eyes she sees herself..with that Celia's mark on one eye starts to bleed again. Yes, the perfect mark of his beloved maker..and it was like opening a wound..a blood tear rolled down on her pale shimmering skin..she is unable to break herself from the moment..and closing herself to anything else but the pair of Ahndree's eyes. She would speak to him without words, " what are you telling me..? " though her voice would echo in his ears like crying child.
[21:00] Ahndree Gallas would turn to Sais as he simple asked with a cold voice and piercing beaming red eyes "what do you want...?" he was ALWAYS polite creature, but in this moment he was like a lionesse protection her cubs. He was embracing Celia as someone who is protection the last beautiful existance in the world to whatever end. His eyes locked on Sais' mask as if he was cracking it just by looking at it. Silence took over as he waited for an answer, not wanting to continue the conversation with Celia till they were able to be more calmed and alone
[21:06] Sais hops over the back row and moves to the second "Oh... just a cou... ah... Mr. Gallas. That takes care of number one... could barely tell from that angle.. Celia on the other hand I could recognize." she says, looking over them "But... Fianah was attacked... she says you did it. Is there any truth to that statement?" she asks, running her gloved finger over the back of the bench. She is keeping her hands out of sight from Celia, knowing how the gloves bother her.
[21:09] Celia Mellison shakes within Ahndree's embrace as she rested her head against his chest, decending down on his feet she spoke to Sais suprisingly begging tone in her voice," could this be dealt later?..please.." her voice is choking and fading in the hall.
[21:11] Ahndree Gallas would look at Sais as he speaks directly and coldly "Sergeant, as much as I can't help but to admire your hot pursuit... no matter how useless it is... whatever debt I must pay for my actions... I assure you I will pay them... when I am done of doing what I must... now if you be so kind, I'd like to speak with my daughter privately" his voice was even at all times, his eyes as steady as his position.Hiis presence strong yet not agressive yet wary
[21:15] Sais' raises her hands "Of course... You can come find me, Mr. Gallas... I would like to clear up the matters..." she says stepping back. "You can leave me a written note explaining it at the station or a find me in person... I will leave you two alone now""
[21:16] Ahndree Gallas gave a dismissing nod towards Sais, he was not paying attention to whatever she was saying, he just cared to go back to being alone with Celia. He turned his attention back to his daughter waiting to hear and sense Sais presence leave.
[21:19] Celia Mellison is at Ahndree's feet, her chin low looking down as her single blood tears staining the marble floor before her..she was still, no motion as a person who is nearing the death and waiting for the verdict. She waits for Ahndree to speak to her again.
[21:22] Ahndree Gallas sighed after Sais left and then he moved to lift Celia back up "On your feet, my dear... your strenght and the heritage of your mad father are your best allies right now... I desire for you to share your thoughts but I want you resolved... please..." he whispered changing to a plead "...let us leave sorrow away... and if you must... release thy words of pain so they will evaporate and with them your grey skyes..."
[21:31] Celia Mellison's s arms within his stern grip, she rose on her feet again as her hair moved and waved in the air framing her porcelian alike pale face, her purple lips finaly parted as her gaze wondered between her eyes..catching the fire in them...she could not even blink. Yes, she was no longer leaving soul but the emotions she had before her new life was returning her dead body after this much time past ever since he left and she cried endlessly days and nights during his absence..she believed she could go on but now he was back and knowing his familiar presence around her was enough. " I can feel you are letting yourself go..do you think I don't feel it!""
[21:36] Ahndree Gallas would look at her silently and with pain in his face as he reached to clean her bloody cheek and then he cupped it wit his palm, smiling weakly at her "I do not desire to leave you, my child... but my actions will bring consequences upon me that I will have to fight on my own... and I do not know if I will return victorious or if I wont return at all... that is why I came today... because I would have to vanish without having the chance to see you once more..." he would admire her face taking a deep breath, not of necesity but of routine "look at you..." he would say with proud yet his voice struggling obviously not to break "you have achieved so much in such a short time... you have become certainly a worthy Toreador... and I could not be more proud..."
[21:44] Celia Mellison's hand reaches upon his holding hand on her cheek, she tilts her head to side she looks into his eyes behind her long eyes lashes holding the stains of blood.." you do not need to fight any of it alone..I am here for you. " her grip fastens on his hand as she speaks, " why do you think I am working this hard, Ahndree..?.." silent moment passes as her eyes drifted on her right looking towards to the entry and opening her senses ensuring no leaving creature around..she turns to him again...speaking to him in vampiric language, " no one shall dare to touch you..you trust my words.." she kisses his hand then adding, " you will not need to vanish ...but you must listen to my words., Anhdree..please..""
[21:48] Ahndree Gallas would look at her in a deep fond way, admiring her beauty, she was gorgeous to the point of hurting, specially knowing that he was part of her and the life she as living was given by his inmortal kiss "Please, my child... do not justify such hard effort and work into vain neds such as the ones that include my safety... I have existed much... and I have seen much... I cannot allow you to participate in the future battles I must face, for the deeds are foul an of dark nature... something I never allowed myself to include you, for your own sake and for my joy through you... and thefore... I ask to thee... let us enjoy our time and then let me go with the promise that your present life shall be fruitful and joyful..."
[21:51] Celia Mellison shook her head side to side, "Nay, how thou can dream that I can have fruitful and joyful existance if my roots are broken..!"
[21:55] Ahndree Gallas would smile at her as he hold her hands "just as I once had roots and they vanished from space and time and yet I found my way back to feeling... alive... if that is possible... and so will you..."
[22:00] Celia Mellison retrieves herself from him as her eyes turned in complete blank and black along with her voice losing its human tone, she growled as she called upon all of her strenght that she has learned from her ally Baldor..he had told her ..if she could focus..really focus she could find the magical power within herself...and this was one of the moment..her hand streched up in the air waving her hands..she closed her eyes forming a light around Ahndree.." thou shall be touched by none!" her voice echo'd in the hall.
[22:00] Celia Mellison attempts to casts an Acolyte spell.
[22:00] Celia Mellison successfully casts the Acolyte spell.
[22:00] Celia Mellison: ((Celia Mellison rolls a d6. Result is 3))
[22:03] [ The air shimmers and crackles to life as Celia's magic flows through it, flowing around Ahndree in a strengthening and protective shield, saving and protecting him from man and nature alike, a powerful shield that will last for the next 3 days ]
[22:05] Ahndree Gallas watches surprised as the magic erupts from Celia, certainly something he did not know or was aware of. he stood still watching her perform whatever she was doing. He suddendly felt the air blowing around him, circulating as he felt some warm energy impregnating itself to his skin... but it was not just to his skin it felt like if it was sticking to his soul. He looked at her with surprise and doubt "Celia...?" he asked, hoping for an explanation... this he certainly did not espect and the warm sensation in his body was still present.
[22:17] Celia Mellison opens her eyes slowly looking at herself in almost non believingly that she could succeed this after all..she has practiced it when she was alone for along time but never have tried on anyone..her gaze on him., " you do know what this means, my beloved.." her eyes shone as she spoke though she was concerned knowing he was much older vampire and that he lost his human side of himself long ago..She reached for his hands beggingly she spoke, " what I have done here I have not done for anyone..this..this...is going to allow you to continue but I beg you please do not kill...do not kill, Ahndree.."
[22:22] Ahndree Gallas would caress her hands looking into her eyes seriously and trying to put the shock of the magic aside to speak more centered "I have not killed in a long time, my daughter... none of the actions I have commited include murder... however they are enough for other kindreds to believe I deserve death..." he smiles softly at her as he whispers "if my time comes now... I will welcome my extinction gladly... you want to know why? because I managed to return and see you again and earn your forgiveness and a place in your cold heart not as a distant memory of someone who left but as someone who stood..."
[22:27] Celia Mellison's eyes locked on him as she hissed getting a tint of sense he was telling her, there was threat upon him by another kindred, "who is this person?" she pulled him from his colour, " thou shall tell me now! " exclaimed with a voice that carried nothing compare anything she ever presented herself before him..and this would be the first time Ahndree would really see the dark side of her within her presence. She was after all territorial and none she knew would miss that out..she would take this complete offense and that would bring far worst complications upon the city.."
[22:32] Ahndree Gallas would give her a proud dark smile as he saw her reaction. Despite he had never seen her like that. She was none the last, his daughter. he would place his hands upon her shoulders as he whispered "I said it to you and you shall not be involved in this... your life is here... and so the one of those who are seeking for my end... rest now knowing that you have given me such energy..." he says rubbing his arm as if feeling the charged warmth "...and let me take my leave as you carry on with your duties that will be meaning of joy and color even if I am not here to see't..." he would say this words softly and tenderly, however, there was authority in his words, one that he had not used on Celia since he left. And he knew his flock, he knew she was as stubborn as he was, but he also hoped she would trust him enough to understand what he meant. he released her hands softly and started to walk away "I shall see you tomorrow, my child... I love what you are doing with the place..." and with those words, he melted with the shadows of the night.
[22:33] Ahndree Gallas 's voice can be heard as a whisper in the wind speaking only to her.
[22:34] Tyrus Olbers :::: try to understand the reason why these creatures do not know that I am your sire... and try to understand why that must remain as such even after I am long gone...
[22:34] Ahndree Gallas: ((in Vampire)): etr io rit'asdo etr vilots etr sectr ter'lesom io etr hutr o' io hutr sicrate etr io rit'asdo etr hutr vilots io hutr sectr o' io hutr sicrate
[22:40] John McMullin walks in.. wondering if his dear Celia would be around here.. she always talk of trying to get her play together.. so he thought that she would be here working on it.
[23:07] Celia Mellison's head lifted slowly looking as she watched him slowly taken into the shadows, fading, fading, fading to nothingsness except his auro and his words carried in the air like a voice in the dreams echo'ing within her core leaving her dead body with the curse he granted her for eternital emptiness..as if she was a string of a harp that was touched and pulled... if it could be heard he would hear the nostalgic songs sang by the broken angels cursed and thrown out of the heaven .." Do thou dream that the world will know thy name, And do thou care, about all the little things, or anything all and all.....Don't curse my dead heart with absence of your dying because I don't want to know dying in the abyss of emptinesses..thou shall cast the dead upon I if I shall know dying yet again.., if I canst see the glory of thee face, maybe I shall become deaf to angels on the moon, where everyone thy know..never leaves too soon." It was too late, too late for anything and everything..feeling the emptiness inside heavily fell onto the stool before the piano as her hands fell on the cords, she caressed them as if she was feeling the coldnesses left my her sire. She lifts her gaze from the piano when John entered into the theater hall.
[23:10] John McMullin watches and listened to the beautiful work.. swearing it was coming from her.. he enters slowly.. approaching her carefully.. he smiles brighter than ever at her.. having missed her company so..
[23:16] Celia Mellison's eyes followed John as he entered slowly with a smile brightening his face, she drifted her eyes looking down the piano keys as she brought her hands yet again, resting on them..she spoke to John as if lifeless, breathless faint voice passed in the air, " welcome John...I have been away..too long...how is everything in the pub?" she raised her head turning to his direction this time, " ..I have left you along there trusting you could carry on..." she pressed her index fingers on the key with much strenght then others"
[23:19] John McMullin nods softly, confused and concerned by her speech " all has been well.. i have made some great sales, and have handled it well.." he says happily.. he walks towards her.. placeing his hand on her shoulder.. having missed her touch for so long.
[23:26] Celia Mellison raises her one hand to his cheek, holding and feeling his body warmth..she closes her eyes. She is cold, really cold after having to give nearly half of her energy to her sire..She is drained and John's warmth was awakening her senses that she was feeling the hunger within herself.." I am happy that be true, john" she said as she rose herself from the stool.
[23:28] John McMullin helps his love in to his arms.. he could feel something off " do you need to feed my love.. if so.. do so now.. you know i am one that is willing" he says softly, holding her close.. enough so that she was at his neck.. ready if needed to drink him..
[23:35] Celia Mellison's eyes danced on his facial futures..as she took his face between her palms, she leaned forward resting her forehead against his..holding there for alittle. In fact, she was considering feeding but John having to get to addicted to her blood was something Celia was aware of it..she pulled herself slowly after she brushed her lips against his and John would taste the remaining blood stains on her face. Yes, indeed the tears of her own..was again appeared after long time ...after her sire left ..she shed endless nights of tears that soak her face into her own blood. it was too late at this point, Celia could feel..his veins bombing his warm blood..she was feeling the circulation in his system as she opened her mouth, her fangs decended sharply."
[23:40] John McMullin smiles softly like a dove in the morning light as she holds him softly, kissing his lips lightly. he tasted her blood-stained tears on her face.. it was wonderful.. but bitter not by taste, but by the sorrow that she faced. he gasped softly as she dug in to his neck, draining him of his blood.. he slowly moved so that they were on the bench, so when she was done.. they would sleep.. her on top of him, for a while he recovered from the loss that would ensue.
