chapter five ♔ it'll be a day like this one when the sky falls down

WHO || The Knights
WHAT || Failboat returns from the disaster in LA as the Knighthood goes on lockdown
WHERE || The castle, London
WHEN || Directly after this, Fall 2017
HOW || Actionspam


Hasmed's announcement does not brook any rebuttal: all Knights are recalled to the Castle, where they must remain until the Section Heads and Jack Chessing have spoken about the events in Los Angeles that have left the Knighthood without their usual leader.  

The entire Los Angeles area is now covered with a dark miasma that has interfered with any signals that might be sent out from phones, etc., leaving the whole world wondering what exactly is happening down there.  Final images showed horrendous monsters, a panic of citizens, looting and violence from humans and Shadowkind alike.  

Hasmed has warned of extra magical wards on the castle, and anyone arriving will immediately take notice of one very prominent one: above the entire roof of the excessively large building hovers a black and red sigil in the air, a pentagram in a circle surrounded by runes or words in an unknown language, stretching for miles.  

[ This is the social log for post-LA lockdown.  Failboat must complete the top log before being allowed to tag outside of it. ]

he turns once more to face her, something shifting in his entire aspect. he's not the mocking vampire now: there's an intelligence and shrewdness there that speaks of considerably more depth than a mindless monster. in some way, he sounds almost intrigued by the situation. ]


The blood carries the essence of a human soul, in a way that mortal science will never be able to quantify or explain. I can drink from a human and see straight into their heart, their deepest memories. When I say that I scent something inhuman in your blood, I do not mean something so irrelevant as your DNA.

It's in your essence, an arcane source of supernatural power that makes you what you are, just as much as my own makes me a vampire.

That strength, that resilience to mortal wounds, the connection you feel to the demonic world: all of that stems from the strain of power that floods your essence.

The demonic power.

I can see it as clearly as I see you standing there.

[ as much as she wants to refuse the belief, to take him for a liar, a manipulator, a monster, the reply speaks to something deep within her, as though confirming some dread she's always felt. it sinks in deep and settles in her gut. ]

Say that it's true. Say that I believe you, that this power inside of me comes from some demon essence. It still wouldn't make me like you.
