Sandy Hollow, some believe despite its beauty vampires still lingered within it. The sun always like to refuse its shine on Treset, and Sandy Hollow is a good demonstration of this. Vampires ran this town like a normal village; bars, shops, inns...If you were mortal I wouldn't recommend sleeping here, for a night. The dead craved the blood of the living, and Forelock's guards had refused this. Vampire's were a dying breed, and they knew it. They felt unsettled and had even relied on the aid of the living for a change. Her name was Haven, much of her was unknown minus the fact that an elder had insisted she was of importance. It was said that the Treset army of the dead would invade at any point, slaughtering those of the night. The woman was here to prevent the horrid blood shed from happening. They didn't kill unless they had too, it was the food chain of life, basic instincts. The woman was tended with food, however, she wasn't hungry. The vampires craved her, and she saw this. She swallowed, as she stood and looked out of the window.
"I know so little of my existence it feels like I have been asleep for ages"
"Well you have my dear, I know that beauty you are the Lost Queen of the purist land of Cyllaron"
The elder spoke as he placed his hand against her shoulder, his long nails grazing her pale flesh as she looked at the moon. The vampire lord drew closer, as he smiled enjoying the moons ray bathing against his own flesh. He was a strong lord, it would take a matter of seconds before a vampire would indulge on her holy blood, she knew it was like poison however; the dead could never feed on a being who came from Azriel, they were blessed, and to the dead their flesh and blood was the poisonous. Her words seeped out of her lips yet again.
"I am ready to face this army, as long as you are to keep your words about my existence."
"Your wish is my command"

Argus stood at the edge of the town with his army behind him. He was sent here to retreive someone that the Queen had deemed a threat to Treset. A lone skeletal soldier could be seen riding up from the town. "My lord, the town is not equiped to take on your army. It will fall easily to the might of the undad." The skeleton spoke in a deep, scratchy voice before taking it's place behind Argus. Argus than turned to the army and spoke. "We are here to search for an elder. Kill anyone that gets in our way." He than mounted his horse and began to ride towards the town.

The Vampires began to panic, as they got out of the way of the death nights, one in which stood out and guided their finger to the door of the elders hut. It was a woman, perhaps no older than 24, she was slender, pale like any other typical vampire, tall and her eyes were a orange brown, glistening under the full moon, if she could cry she would. She swallowed hard as she trembled: "They're in there my lord"

"Good. And as promised you will be rewarded." Argus said as he turned to the woman and plunged his blade into the vampire and the blade formed a silver coating around the edge before he took it out and sheathed it. "Your death will be quick." He said as he turned towards the elder's hut and walked to the door, kicking it in before sending two skeletal soldiers in.

A blade was drawn, the woman stood trembling but well prepared for combat. She looked at the man as her silver eyes burned into him, she protected the Elder, like a lioness would for her cubs. She was prepared for combat, her long hair fell over her shoulder like brown yawn. And she growled, "Who do you think you are!" "She's here my lord as promised" The Elder said as he bowed, Haven looked over her shoulder shocked as her voice elevated, "What is the meaning of this?"

Argus walked up to the elder and looked down at him. "And as promised." He took out a small bag of jewels and tossed them to the elder. "Now get out of my sights." He than turned to the woman that was also in the hut. "It's time for some answers." He waved his hand and the skeletons fell to the ground.

The Elder fled just as fast, leaving Haven in a state of shock. She didn't know what to think one minute they were like friends, and the next thing she knew she found herself standing in front of the enemy, betrayed by a group that had led her to believe were friends. The woman stood erect, almost like a queen would before unleashing her orders. "What is the meaning of this!?"

"I was here on orders to kill you, but before my mission I went to an oracle." Argus found a chair and sat in it. "The Oracle said that someone of great importance would change the path I walked and when I heard that my target was the fabled Lost Queen. I decided I would see what you had to say before I killed you."

"I wouldn't be killed, not on my watch" The woman sword was raised, "This talk of the Lost Queen...what use is my words if you are to kill me at any moment" Her words were stern, she knew little to what made her a threat, she was perhaps one of the most beautiful people in Cyllaron, as to why she was condemned to death without a court trial. However, she wasn't going to allow him have his way with her, "...I am not on a death mission"

"Looks like the oracle lied to me." Argus stood. "But no matter." He walked towards the womand and slapped the sword out of her hand and grabbed her by the neck, throwing her against a wall and raising his other hand. "This is where you will die." He began to form an orb of unholy energy when he was suddenly blinded by a light that seemed to come from inside his head and let the woman go as he fell to the ground.

The woman felt the man's hands surrounding her throat, she had gasped, however; she would not resist, or plea to be released, her eyes looked through the armor as they connected with his, and a matter of instants the man had released her, and backed away. She was on her knees as she coiled her throat and rubbed it, as though attempting to rub it away. She coughed as she reached out to her sword, and looked at Angus who seemed to be distracted. "Don't you dare lay your hands on me!"

Argus quickly recovered from whatever had happened to him and he stood and faced the woman. "Well it looks like the oracle was right after all. I can't kill you while using my abilities." He raised his hand and two skeletons emerged from the ground and grabbed the woman. "But I can still take you prisoner until I do kill you."

The woman was taken by surprise, how could she have allowed herself to fall pray in another territory being runned by such evil people. She had struggled at first, nudging the bony hands of the skeletal figures holding her, as she pleaded her release. The pleading wasn't made outloud, but her eyes did the job for her. She fell to her knees enough struggling for today, and guided her eyes to the man who now towered her, she swallowed hard as she shook her head. She couldn't fight back, she was outmatched in this situation, and though her title as The Lost Queen, she would know just as little about herself than the first time. Her life was full of obstacles, all of numerous categories, in this case it was her life that was in danger. She swallowed hard and looked up at Argus as her eyes burned through his armor with anger.
