SHE'S MY GRAVEYARD BABY, SHE'S MY . . .

Her attention was swiftly met by her daughter Skade, greeting her. She gave her a gentle smile and a nod before turning her attention to her handsome husband, the wings he had grown only made him so much more dashing. He gently nosed her cheek, a smile gracing her face as she looked to meet his eyes. "Hello, love.." He murmured gently, taking his seat beside her. "Bellona and Ruax should be out soon, I've just woke them." "Thank you, my love." He sat beside her and then spoke down to their daughter. "Hello, my dear. I didn't see you go out - I must've been sleeping still."

Their daughter Bellona was the next to come out, her scales oh so cute on her. "Hi Momma, hi daddy." She tried to hide it it sounded, but she seemed so tired. Lucaya had just the thought to cure it. "Hi Skade," She watched the little ones together, her heart feeling so full. "Hi Bellona," Skade said softly, hiding her shame of her small horns. "Skade, my dear. If it's your horns that are troubling you, don't fret. You'll grow into them in time, you're still young." The Queen said softly. Her son slowly wandered out, tired looking as he slumped onto the ground beside his siblings silently. Her eyes traveled to a reclusive but familiar wolf joining in. "Hello, Jekyll, I'm so glad you joined us. You can meet the rest of the family now." The Vampire Queen spoke out to him.

Her audits flicked quickly after she finished her words, another voice trailed in from the borders. "Lucaya! Nibris! Skade! It's me, it's Daneliya!" Her blood hued eyes lit up with excitement. "Well come on, welcome home! You don't want to miss the meeting!" She grinned. The familiar widow like coloring slunk in the darkness, her heart stopping as she wondered if it was her mother. No, no. Just Maverick. "Sister, Nibris." He spoke as he dipped his head. "Maverick, it's good to see you." A new face greeted her, a male. "I'm Bristow, and I would like to join Hawthorne." She nodded to him as he bowed. "Welcome Bristow, I am Queen Lucaya, and this is my mate King Nebris." She said before rising to her paws.

Just before her speech she had prepared, her mother and two sisters came in. She didn't turn her head at all, but she spoke quietly to her lover. "Looks like you're meeting my mother, with her I'm sure father too - And the siblings." She said. ”Hi Mavey~” Her sister cooed as she sat beside their brother. "Hello Aya." He said to her with a smile. ”Hi Lucaya! I missed you sister!” The Queen smiled softly, a half hesitant smile. "Hi Aya, it's good to see you!"

Her mother followed in slower behind Aya before speaking. ”I came as soon as I heard, Lucaya…there was a fire in Ashen Woodlands.” The Queen watched the widow skirted woman, before speaking in turn. "I'm just glad you, Drevis and Aya made it out okay. Please be careful." She said, a certain coldness in her tone that came out almost naturally. Of course with her presence came the darting shadow of Damian towards the woman. "Kanaya, Drevis, Aya?!" The voice called out. "What happened? Are you guys okay? I'm so glad you're still alive, you smell like burnt wood . . . Was there a fire?"

She cleared her throat, Damian quickly looked to her and Nibris and dipped his head. "Lucaya, and . . . " He didn't know what to say. Lucaya curled her plume around Nibris, her tail looking to intertwine with his. "Mother, father. This is my mate, and your King - Nibris. You're grandparents now too, these are our children - Skade, Bellona, and Helheim. I'm assuming the other three are still sleeping, Ruaxx, Lhamer and Kodlak." Having siblings again, and a mother, was still so new to her that she almost felt uncomfortable by it. ”Hi sis… I have these cool wings…” She smiled at the young sister, Drevis. She was more unlike them than any. "They certainly suit you, Drevis."

Her eyes searched to each and every one of them, and then to her love. "I have heard news of two new packs rising, one of them being a new neighbor and a new King. We must be aware of them, for we do not know them, and keep a watchful eye out for them. The new leader is named Beartooth, and he stands as us with his children and others he has gathered in a kingdom he calls Tarben." She said to them all. "My other news is - I have a gift, that I believe can be passed to others. I would like to give each of you the chance to share my gift with you all if you'd care to join me. I would like to give you all, the ever giving immortality of being a Vampire." She said, taking a deep breath. "So whoever would care to join me in my youth, please come forward."
