)OOC: This is not an invite only, but if you are to post to it, you had best be certain you are capeable to truly catch a magic spell in mid air.)
She knew she felt her, she knew she was here someplace but the question was as to where. It had been a very long few centuries that the presence of the one she called sister and her had been thrown together at and for any reason, and now, with the feeling of her rightful sister about so strongly in the realm of Karador, Adriana paced the empty field of darkness about her, wondering where she might be found.
Oh Mikia, where ARE you Adriana hissed under her breath, her words accented and thrown out into the wind on soft wings of desire to hopefully be carried away to the ears of the one she sought.
Adriana continued to pace the nights cool air, the wind she had sent out with her words now gently brushing against her bare thighs, that space between the rim of her thigh-high leather boots of white leather, and the hem of her white silken garment that rounded her flesh in a sort of short front, long trailing back style garment. Her reddish locks were as well caressed and tossed about slightly over a pair of slender shoulders, her appearance being much less than what she was, making her out to look like nothing more or less than a frail little girl out in the middle of the night with no one around to protect her.
The vampire dearly hoped that Mikia would answer her call, but feared as well that another may intercept her call, as any with the knowledge enough to listen, could hear and catch the returning of those words. She wasn’t in the mood for a fight, nor to meet any other this night but her beloved sister of old.

The cool evening air brushed against her soft, smooth skin as she walked through the lands of Karador. Every sight, sound and odor was taken in as though her very soul was looking for something, or, someone. That is, if she had a soul.
Adriana's awakening had not gone unnoticed the night before, and if Mikïa had not been detained as such, she would of started her search then.
Using her sences, both physical and those of the force of will, she gathered all the clues that could posibly guide her.
Then, there it was. The sign she needed. The wind brought forth words, "Oh Mikia, where ARE you"
The words barely had time to graze her ears that she was gone from sight. Her feet took her on a steady pace through rough and smooth terrain in the oposite direction that the wind travelled.
Not much time passed untill she found herself in the great plains. She slowed her movements almost to a stop as she aproached a frail looking girl in the dead of the night.
To any other she may of appeared to be a prime kill but Mikïa knew better than that. The thought had not even crossed her mind for a second that the one before her fit her appearance. Rather, a smile started to form at the corner of her lips as she watched this one pace back and forth.
"I am never far."

Adriana spun around on her heal when she heard those words come to her open ears. Sure, her senses had told her that someone approached but, with the wind blowing in a different direction, Mikia’s scent was not brought to her turned back.
“Mikia!” Came the small girls excited reply to those words as she spun around and then, quicker than light there was a pair of strong arms about the immortal sorceress’s neck as Adriana brought her sister in for a giant hug. The hug last just long enough to allow the other to know she’d been missed greatly before Adriana let her free, running her hands down the other girls arms to now gently grasp her hands with her own and take a long look at the blue-skinned beauty before her, tears of joy welling up in the vampiress’s eyes.
Adriana didn’t need to speak to her sister for she would know what thoughts spun through her mind. But then, after a long pause where Adriana looked her sister over completely, she once again spoke. “What have you been up to? How are you? You look great.” She said all at once.
For most others to see the usually quiet and mysterious exterior of this vampire they’d thought she’d gone nuts, but Mikia knew better, she knew Adriana better than any to her in this new Realm and would know that this vampire was not as terrible a creature as some would like to make her out to be, even if she was a ruthless killer and perhaps one of the most dangerous creatures to walk the lands of the earth, she wasn’t all that bad, if she liked you.

“Mikia!” Adriana's excited reply bounded forth as she quickly turned around. Before much time could pass, Mikïa found herself wrapped tightly in the arms of her beloved sister, and she returned the action.
After having released their grip on one another, they both stood there clasping each others hands. Seeing Adriana's eyes well up with tears created much the same reaction in her though she tried to hold back.
She knew these tear drops were made of joy, but since that fatefull day under the rain, all tears reminded her of sorrow.
Memories of the day that play time was cut short flooded through her mind and she knew it would probably show on her face. She tried to hold that look back especially now since she knew her sister would feel the pain too and it was not the time for it. Now was suposed to be a happy time and their brother would not want this moment to be anything other than that for the two of them.
Though her mind was clouded with visions of the past, she could still hear her sisters exited words “What have you been up to? How are you? You look great.”
This gave her hope that maybee, just maybee her reaction to the tears was not noticed even though she knew better than to think that.
The distant look that had resided on her features faded away as she began to reply, "You know, the usual." She grinned slightly. "Observing everything and everyone, including the war that seems to be breaking loose. Another like two thousand years ago it seems."
Mikïa looked deep into her sister's eyes now, "Most of the time, I'm as good as I always have been." It was the best way she could think of for saying how she was. Especially since times of harship were rare and far between and she did not stay in them for long when they did pop by.
"And thanks." She smiled remembering the comment on her looks to then look over her sister once more. "You seem to have gained a more frail appearance." She frowned slightly. "Would this be a new trick to attract prey?" She finished with a smirk on her face, returning to her usual self.

Mikia would not be wrong in thinking that her feelings and thoughts of their brother had not gone unnoticed by Adriana, as she had felt his loss still very harshly, being the one who had to do the task herself, it would forever haunt her mind, though his mind, his entire being now resided within her very veins now, he remained immortal still, even having his less than friendly traits show up in her from time to time, as could be seen in Adriana, though, Mikia wouldn’t know it yet, Adriana had become an entirely different creature, yes, still caring and loving to those she was close to, her way of attending to matters had changed greatly, matching the evil intent of her brother with a cruel and most forceful hand, to say the least, she was just as much their brother, as she was herself now.
Adriana giggled slightly at Mikia’s comment on her own looks. “Well, I find that the child-like appearance gives humans more confidence in thinking me vulnerable, and the look of surprise on their faces gives me such delight as they begin to learn just what it is they are up against.” She told her sister in all honesty. “Yes, my frailty is only skin deep, I assure you dear sister.” She winked at her.
“I am most glad to hear that you have been fairing well. I am sorry I left you…” She started and then let her voice trail off, her eyes dropping to her feet. “I just couldn’t handle it any longer, all his memories, all his thoughts and …” She took a deep breath. “But enough of that, as I have you still, you are here, and we have one another and Kaen would not want us dwelling on the past.” She giggled again slightly. “He’d come down and kick our butts should he think we were crying over his loss when we should be enjoying our reunion.” She then stated, a flame coming up to show itself behind her emerald gaze for a moment in reaction to her thoughts on their brother.
“Yes, the war…” She sighed. “When will these creatures of earth realize that what they have is enough?’ She stated, and then laughed, a little girls delighted laugh. “Fortunately for the likes of us, either way it goes down, we have not to fear.” S he stated, though I must admit, I would miss having all those delightful humans around in their natural ways to play with, if things should go bad for Karador.” She admitted, though in a light way, as she truly didn’t care one way or the next what direction the war went. Her loyalties to the Demon Lord were still quite evident.

"I never once doubted the depth of your frailty dear sister." She replied with a smirk that not only spanned her facial features but lined her tone of voice as well.
Though she did not understand the pleasure that one could take in making advances on creatures as weak as humans, Mikïa did not bring up the question to the subject. She knew that even if she asked, she would never understand. To her, that kind of prey was not a challenge and therefore not worth her time. Then again, she did not need prey for survival.
When Adriana finished telling of the reason for her departure, the sadness started to return and Mikïa tried to fight it off. To her, Kaen was a doll and she loved him dearly. She would not want to upset him or make him sad and as her sister's next words were true, it helped steady her emotions, helped with her inner battle.
For a moment, Mikïa thought she may be hallucinating as she looked into her sister's eyes. There seemed to be something there that was not before, or rather, had not belonged to Adriana in the past. Though it may not have seemed like much to anyone else, that little flame made her heart race with exitement. She held her breath and feelings rushed through her as though her brother were beside her once more and she did not understand why.
Her mind trailed off as her sister continued to speak. Even though she heard everything that was said, her thoughts became hazy. Nodding in agreement now and then about the things said on the war, she wondered exactly how much of their brother remained.
She knew from experience that when a vampire took blood, it also took that persons memories and some of their traits but that was the extent of it.
That little flame seemed to be trying to tell otherwise.
Finally letting go of her breath, she looked unto her dear sister with wonderment in her own eyes and blurted out the only thing that would come forth, "Am I going crazy?"

“What so you mean, are you going crazy?” Adriana started, raising a fine brow over her slightly demonic orb. “What ever would make you believe that?” She then laughed slightly. “Of course, in those statements I mean any more than you already are, of course dear sister.” She winked at her, her eyes once again settling on those of her sisters, that flame still burning almost hungrily in the background of her emerald gaze.
Indeed, a regular vampire retained their prey’s memories but for one such as Adriana, the only pure vampire in existence, it was much different, as she also retained personality traits as well as powers of the ones she fed upon. Of course, in her time, she’ d fed on so many creatures that to keep track of her power list would be near impossible, but one thing was for certain, and they both knew it, rather Adriana wanted to admit it or not, Kaen was more than a memory locked in the vaults of her incredible mind, he was a part of her, almost a second nature because she was so close to him and his power was so incredibly strong, her own could not contain it in the background completely.
“Oh, and I didn’t think you’d count me as frail dear sister, simply stated the facts was all.” She said, resting her hand on the hilt of her sword as she took on a relaxed stance. “Tell me what it is you see Mikia, tell me what it is that is on your mind sister.” She then stated, her gaze questioning, knowing that Mikia had questions that needed answering.

Mikïa tried to laugh as her sister told a few jokes but those flames were constantly staring into her just as the flames that resided in her beloved brother's eyes had done so many times in the past. Her heart wanted to tear right through her chest and leave her behind. It was a hard thing to try to fight off.
“Tell me what it is you see Mikia, tell me what it is that is on your mind sister.” The words resounded through her head, pounding against her skull as she closed her eyes and breathed in deeply.
"He's watching me through your eyes." A single tear rolled down her right cheek and driped off her chin onto her shirt. "The flames that once burned brightly in his eyes reside in yours dear sister." She winced slightly. "Is." She paused, gathering the mental strength to speak up and opened her eyes slowly. "Is he all there?"
She asked the question with a pleading in her eyes though she did not know what she wanted the answer to be. To have her brother still around would be more than she could of ever asked for. But to have him there, without having him there, she did not know how she would handle it.

Adriana bit her lower lip softly, her eyes shut at her sisters words and she turned her chin down towards the ground for a moment before rising her head once more and opening her eyes, the sight before Mikia was a full hellfire where Adriana’s eyes should have resided, those emerald orbs gone, replaced with Kaen’s own flames of hell that now consumed the sockets of the vampires gaze. Shortly, her entire form began to loose it’s human visage and became that of shadow, her facial features becoming transparent until the shadow had completely devoured them, leaving, standing before Mikia, a shadowed figure, its eyes to pinpoints of burning flame, and though there seemed nothing human to it, the shape was defiantly that of female human. Adriana spoke though through no apparent lips, her voice was there all the same. “He is as much a part of me, as I am of myself Mikia, though it is only in his demonic form that he doth appear, I do seem to have become Kaen, as well as myself through time. Yes Mikia, he is here, all his thoughts, his memories, but his soul, no I am delighted to report, that is his own.” She replied, though in truth, she wasn’t even certain of that. “It doth seem to me mine dear sister that his words were spoken not but in truth when he did say that he wouldst never be far away from wither of us.” SHE went on to explain, and though Mikia would see no tears form her sister, the slight tremble in her voice signified that she was more than likely crying behind the mask of the Chaos Enforcer.
Mikia would never quite understand the pain that her sister had withstood to give their brother his wish for peace, how incredibly anguished her heart still was after performing one last task for her one and most truly beloved brother, her world, a world she had to destroy with her own immortal kiss. A few moments more and Adriana now stood before Mikia again, the crimson streaks trailing down her cheeks signifying that she had indeed been crying behind that mask of the Demon Lord of Carnage. “Mine own heart shall always remain torn asunder with what it was I hath done, though I know it was his right to ask and I would do anything he wished, anything, forever more.” She said quietly, her tiny form trembling with the effort she used to keep that incredible power behind her own, it was always the same, once unleashed, it never wished to retreat, though in the end, would relent to her strong will and lay dormant, or somewhat so. “Nay Mikia, our brother doth not live, it is not but his power, perhaps some mannerisms and may hap, a few of his finer quirks, that may surface from time to time, I am no more vampire than I am demon now with his blood residing within mine own veins.” She told her sister in that still quiet, calm voice that was always Adriana.

Adriana's instant reaction to what Mikïa had said was more than enough to say that she knew very well what was going on and that it pained her so. The immortal now wished with everything within her that she could take her words back, that she could of controled her emotions better so as their joyous meeting could have remained as such. Sadly, it was not within her powers to master time, and so, they had to deal with it.
When the vampire rose her head and opened her eyes, Mikïa could of sworn that she was loosing her mind. Her dear brother's flames had now completely overtaken Adriana's eyes and not long after that, her form started to loose it's integrety. Shadow and flame now resided where her sister once stood.
“Kaen?” Her voice shook and her throat closed up tightly as his name came from her lips. She slowly reached up with her left hand to grab her neck and rubbed it, trying to ease the pain as tears started to flow freely.
Moments later, Adriana's voice could be heard coming from the center of the shadow, but it was not her speech. She spoke with the same mannerisms that belonged to their brother while her voice trembled within his form.
Everything was becoming more confusing as her mind raced to make sence of it all. Things that belonged together but not in the way it was came to be. Her brother and her sister were now one. How grievous and brutal it must be for Adriana to live like that. Knowing he's gone but still there, inside her.
Mikïa's eyes were still fixed on her sister as Adriana retook her form. It sadened the immortal even more to see the tracks of the tears that bled down those pale cheeks of her beloved sister as her frail looking body trembled under the pressure of her situation.
Not knowing if she could handle anything anymore she clenched her teeth while she closed her eyes tighly and his voice came to her, "Forgive me mine sister, for I could not tell thee, for fear that thou woulds't seek to intervene. I love thee and Adriana dearly. I beg thee, forgive me, and take care of her as best thou canst." His words echoed, reverberating through her head.
Suddenly, she was overcome with a strength she did not know she could posess in a time like this. Her body stopped quivering and her troat loosened. Wiping the tears from her own eyes, Mikïa took a couple steps forward and reached her arms around Adriana. “Know that I'm here for you always.” Those few words came in such a soft, sincere tone, and yet to Adriana they may have seemed to come from nowhere as they did not suit the present topic.

Adriana moved her arms about her sister’s waist and laid her forehead on her shoulder. “I know, as I am for you sister, as we will always be.” She told her in response.
She was not thrown off by the sudden act of affection form her sister, no, but she was happy for it. I t had been entirely too long since she’d talked with any of her ‘siblings’ Though she felt Chaos’s presence from time to time, and knew that her ‘siblings’ walked the earth still, this was the first time she’d ever been close to any of them, and she was happy.

Mikïa held her sister tightly for a moment longer before she backed up just slightly to take another look at her kin. As she looked deep into Adriana's eyes, a smile spread accross her features. "So, my dearest sister, what shall we do on this lovely evening in order to celebrate our long awaited reunion?"
Her smile slowly turned into a smirk as a few thoughts passed through her mind. But having been around to do as she pleased these passed few centuries while her sister slept, Mikïa figured it best to let her come up with the events for that night.
