His wife had disappeared from their den. Of course, he wasn't worried. He knew that she could figure things out. She was strong, a vampire. She knew what she was doing. Skade and Helheim must be with her as well.. But his fear for her safety would always override anything. As he had been leaving the territory, Bellona and Ruax had begged to come with - well, Bellona did. She dragged Ruax everywhere she went. The King of Hawthorne was thankful that Ruax had a nice little guardian with him.

"Stay close." He growled softly to his daughter and son, as they stuck to his side like glue. A few days ago, Lucaya had asked him to become the King of Vampires and rule with her, which he happily agreed on. Bellona and Ruax could become vampires if they wanted as well.. But at an older age.

Bellona glanced worriedly up at her father, pinning to Ruax's side. "Daddy, where are we? I don't like it here.." She whimpered. It was dark.. hard to see with one blinded eye. Ruax gave a soft growl in response.

When the light shone down, Nibris gave a sharp gasp. He quickly stood over his children, trying to flatten them a bit from the blow that could occur. The thundering noise made his ears flatten to his head, and he let out a protective growl. Bellona and Ruax - now snapped out of his silent stature - let out soft yelps and clung under their father. Their screams were silenced out by the noise, as darkness overtook the three of them.
