"Blood and ashes" I cursed, slamming my fists onto the table. Somehow I hadn't gotten through to those two. It appeared I'd have to go in person. fetching my cape and various weapons (and a few magical odds and ends), I returned to my chambers to begin the task of keying in to Celeste's magical signature. I'd found it soon, few creatures in the multiverse were so pure, so selfless as that one. I melded into the sshadows around me, sathered them as I would the folds of a cloak. I moved trom the cold stone around me to the still colder darkness that would take me to her, and those around her, a group of unidentifieds. I soomed towards them, their magical signatures providing a guiding light for me. When I arrived, I entered warily. I always did this in any unfamiliar place, it was a necessity of being a vampire lord.
