Tirank frowns slightly. “I see, and while i understand but..i am.not friend? You are above me in all things.” She said with a smile as she continues to follow, Tiranks mind set was very much that of a servant. She was to help others and to service her gods and that includes the saintness as well.
Amarantha frowns softly as she reached over to held their hand, Cherry flew over onto Seren’s shoulder and nuzzle them gently. “I know… you wont lose me easily, i understand. Really i do, but think about this on her health. What if we are doing more harm then good? Dragons are proud and noble, but more so than anything. They are free.” She said before sighing softly. “You noticed too right? How her personality started to change? It wasnt a lot but i started to notice a few things, Vol had told me that way a sign and that she felt unease about it.”
Serana chuckles softly as she held Mitsuki softly and pats her hair. “I know and thank you, though i do must of the helping~”
"N-not a.. f.." Minu seemed in a bit of a shock, her eyes wide before lowering her gaze. "I-I see... I'm not really above you. We're equals. I-If nothing else you're above me since you're the one teaching me?" She then pondered who else Tirank saw above her...
Seren slowly raised their gaze once more looking to Amarantha and Cherry, appreciating their gestures. "I... I have thought about it. I have thought that, she may feel like she's being suffocated, since i felt the same once." Sighing a little, they knew Amarantha was right. They knew this was right for alice. "I at first thought it was just her puberty... But, at the least she's not alone. Dérin was there right and you spoke of a maid?"
The others hand felt good on hr head, and Mitsuki didn't want her to move it away. Nodding though, she would smile and beam a little. "Perhaps we should begin making our way back to the castle as well then?"
Runir, maybe a blessing or dumb didnt realize it at all as he held Cherry. Cherry nodded and smiled. "Good! Then i will take it and being it to him." She said before wiggling out of Runirs hold and went to grab the needed items, she hums softly as she left the kitchen to fund Seren.
Runir pouts. "Damn, oh well time for me to start my own stuff then I guess." He said to Mia with a smile before turning to start.
Gol purred happily at the return affection, glad that Seren was now comfortable with him. Alice smiled as she watched and nodded, she raises aj eyebrow at Mitsuki's reaction before gasping.
"Is it about Serana?! At least!"
Mia watched Cherry quickly pick out the breakfast cakes and dishes Seren had, had the staff prepare, on a small tray before watching her run off again. Turning to Runir then, she'd let out a small gasp. "B-But my liege. Is it really alright for you to cook here. I-I mean the rest of the staff and myself can prepare whatever you wish for us to make."
Seren had grown close to the dragons. It had even surprised themselves, but they weren't the ones from their past. They were family and in a sense seren secretly loved flying on their backs or even training with them. "Worry not Gol, ill get you something later too."
Mitsuki would turn fully rest, not having realized that the others actually knew of her crush. "H-How did ... Shh! Not so loudly! someone might hear you."
Odahviing pulls back and somehow looks even more confused than before. “And is that bad for mortals?” Ahh right, dragons rarely mated anyways and if or when they did. It would be more then one since of the low chances.
Seleine tilted her head at first, before realizing how different mating and things like these were for dragons. Then again, giving how time didn't matter to them all that much it also made sense. "Mortal long for commitment and security when they partner up." she explained, before letting out a giggle. "Though, they also tend to add love into the mix."
Smiling awkwardly Minu lead Tirank to the room they had prepared for her, sighing a little as they made it out of the courtyard, before looking over to her. “I’m sorry you had to experience such things, especially on your first day here. They aren’t things that happen often, but the princess, runir’s sister sort of went off without telling most of them.”
“And so you went along with it?! Knowing -…” Seren held themselves from exploding further, taking a deep breath, before sitting down. They could their pulse and heart beating, worry and anger having both mixed up together. With a few calming moment’s Seren raised their gaze, back to meet that of their beloved’s, frowning still, but at the least not looking as angry. “So you we-.. Are fine with this? Knowing what happened before, knowing the danger she could find herself in?”
Mitsuki listened with her eyes wide, as the realization and horror of the situation hit her, even before Serena could confirm it. “I-I.. I’m so sorry.” She whispered, holding her hand out to Serena, feeling bad for thinking, that what she had gone through was bad, but this was on a completely other level.
————————————————————-
Tirank shakes her head gently. “oh no! Its alright, really. I’ve seen a few fights back from my healing shop, I’ve heard a few stories from his majesty so I had a feeling something may happen.” She told Minu with a gentle smile. “And thank you for the room, your ho- R-royal highness!” She nearly said her holyness, ah gods that would have been bad or just really confusing. More so after she was the one to give the idea of hiding Minu’s holy power.
Amarantha sighs and waited for them to sit. “First no, actually I am not fine with it…. I agree with you even with Derin and that maid. Alice easily falls into chaos…But Seren…I fear we see her too much as a person.” She said before sighing. “We are both outsiders of this place, we have been given a lot of trust but we still dont know enough about the dragons to really have a say in this. I worry we maybe holding on too tight, they haven’t said anything more but I can see it in the dragons that they are worried for Alice but in a different way than us.” She tried to explain.
Serana smiled at her gently and took a hold of her hand with one, than gently pats her head. “It’s alright, it has been a long long time Mitsuki. And at the time, as weird as it sounds. It wasn’t that bad or at least we just didn’t think about it, it was what we needed to do.” She said with a shrug.
“And it lead me here, with so many people that care and I have the power to help. So its alright.”
"Y-yes i suppose. Its still a bit of a shame. I'm sure alice would have loved to meet you as well." Upon being called her royal highness, her cheeks flustered slightly, as she took a full on stop. "Minu. Just Minu. I don't like being called that by my friends." She smiled, before slowly continuing onward again.
"Then why-..." Though Seren fell silent again, continuing to listen to her, before sighing themselves. "I know we're outsiders. I know we're not actually their.. parents or even in some sense parental figures, but you've been her guardian for such a long time and i've... grown attached to them. All of them." Taking a moment, seren shook their head.
"I know i cannot die myself. I've tried so many times, but it just also shows me how fleeting and short peoples life's are. How fragile. After what happened with Terra. I could only blame myself, that i wasn't strong enough or if i had kept more of an eye on them, i could have stopped that from happening. Things could turned even worse after all!" Seren raised their voice slightly, but not from anger, from anguish. "I could have lost them.. and importantly, i could have lost you..."
Mitsuki raised her gaze, meeting Serana's as she nodded, leaning in to a hug, pressing into her. "And we're all here for you now. Our powers are for helping you as well."

Odahviing very strongly wanted to swing the knight around but he held it in and let the two speak, once the knight calmed down so he placed it down onto the ground gently.
He hadn’t moved away yet from Seleine, he leans down to whisper to her. “Whats a two, three four timing?” He asked her, poor dragon had no idea.
Seleine sighed a little, before whispering back. "Its when you mate with three or four people at a time. Usually with either one male and rest females, or one female and rest males." she explained, before giving the knight a small stare, as the knight, as confused as Odah, just tilted its little head.
Cherry had run off to the kitchens and stopped by the door seeing Runir and Mia, if anyone else had seen this some may think of something bad but she knew much better. She went over and grabbed onto Runirs leg looking to Mia. "Is it done?" She asked.
Runir, who had been setting Mia back to her feet safely. Looked down and smiled seeing Cherry. "Cherry, havent seen you in this form in a while." He said as he picks her into his arms.
Alice had tilted her head as she listened before turning to Seren, she shrugs. "Kinda? She asked if in skyrim or just this world had days like that, we have mainly festivals about the seasons but not much else." She explained and hums, she wonders why she didnt say anything. Gol got up and went over to greet Seren happily.
Mia slowly looked between Cherry and Runir, realizing the scene had been seen by someone, it only caused her feet to shake a little, but she did nod. "Y-yes. It all done and prepared as instructed by lor.. Lad.. Seren!" she sighed, as she still needed to work a bit on what Mitsuki had asked of her.
Seren chuckled a little. "It was originally to help keep the seer population going and for people to match up, but as time went on it became more romanticized. Don't tell Amarantha, but i had prepared something for her myself." They explained, while giving the two a wink. Knowing full well of Mitsuki's plans as well as she flustered. Seren did turn to meet Gol afterwords, rubbing the side of the dragons head gently. "For some it is a day of friendship too, like Mitsuki had said."
Mitsuki nodded, smiling a little more. "I often gave out small gifts and signs of appriciation to all my guards when i was back at the crystal palace, so i thought i could do something small for you all as well! A-and maybe something bigger for..." she wouldn't finish her sentence though, as her face would fluster completely again.
Seraphaura blushed at the teasing but smiled. “That would be wonderful! Thank you so much for your hospitality.” she replied, “Now what to eat? I wouldn’t mind trying something new. Something you like that you eat here maybe.”
"Something i like? Well that would more than likely have to be fried tofu along with some freshly made udon." Silvy would state, unsure if Sera knew of them or had ever tasted some. "Its a dish brought to us here from the human world from some travelers. It's mighty good." She explained, before slowly leading them back from the castle.
Orabella stared with a gaped mouth at the fox, eyes widening. She almost released an ancient demon. Her curiosity could have cost them dearly. Though now she had a mystical fox in front of her. So there were more demons sealed here. She glanced at Dev, wondering if they possibly knew.
She blushed sheepishly. "No, I'm an elf. And I doubt I have a spell for it." she replied to the fox then turned to Dev, "I-I'm fine now I think. Just a little shaken. I had no idea what was going to happen to me. But at least I'm fine now. Thing is, what to do now?" She looked to the fox. "Who...are you?"
Dev looked over the fox as well, unsure of what it was or if it was actually a 'good' one either, but as she turned back to Orabella, her smile grew a little. "The thing seems to be gone, but we're here with this fox now, so..."
The fox huffed a little. "Not an elf? Well, we may still be able to find such spell from somewhere here and i am called Shine, due to my shining fur. As for your companion." The fox turned to Dev, tilting their head. "But, i am certain that one is a half demon."
Tirank truly wasn’t sure what to do with herself right now, she looked over to Minu and nodded quickly. "y-yes, be best I think.” She said before turning to leave with Minu.
Amarantha sent Minu a look to leave before returning her eyes back to him, she sighed and waited until the 'kids’ were gone. “Sit down and I will explain, I can feel your stress more than Runir’s.” She said with a huff. “And yes, I was going to tell you but was asked not too before you ask.”
Serana nodded with a small uneasy smile. “Yes…as well as other things…His realm is called Coldharbour and he is the creator of vampires…The first one vampire or Daughter of Coldharbour, her name was Lamae Bal and she was a priestess of Arkay and Molag….He raped her and as he did, poured his blood into her. She survived and become a vampire, from there families who wanted that power and show their loyalty to him would… Offer the female members to him and hoped that a few survived to give them the blood as well.”
Serana gently touches her hip where one of those scars were. “Those scars you saw before, is where he grabbed me and poured in his blood.”
Smiling awkwardly Minu lead Tirank to the room they had prepared for her, sighing a little as they made it out of the courtyard, before looking over to her. "I'm sorry you had to experience such things, especially on your first day here. They aren't things that happen often, but the princess, runir's sister sort of went off without telling most of them."
"And so you went along with it?! Knowing -..." Seren held themselves from exploding further, taking a deep breath, before sitting down. They could their pulse and heart beating, worry and anger having both mixed up together.

Knowing what happened before, knowing the danger she could find herself in?"
Mitsuki listened with her eyes wide, as the realization and horror of the situation hit her, even before Serena could confirm it. "I-I.. I'm so sorry." She whispered, holding her hand out to Serena, feeling bad for thinking, that what she had gone through was bad, but this was on a completely other level.

Odahviing had returned to his purring as he held her there, he wasnt aware of the fact he even brought his head down to gently rub against the back her neck. Dangerously close to then rubbing his lips there, when the knight popped up.
He huffs and stood up straight up, he picked up the knight with his tail and looked at it. “Thats rude.”
"Rude?! You're the one two.. three.. Maybe even four timing! You lady killer lizard!" The small knight shouted, while tangling down from his tail, flailing its small wooden sword around. Though it clearly wasn't trying to cause harm, but there was a certain worry in its voice.
"Worry not my dear knight. I was the one to seek out his comfort, not the other way around. So you may stop your flailing and relax." Seleine responded as the knight placed its sword away, huffing. "As you say so my lady!" But, there was a bit of new found joy in its voice, as Seleine wasn't as pissed off or sad from the look of things.
Altius looks at De for a moment, though a bit caught off upon hearing him about forming a pact with the girl. Understandably, by his presence alone but weary of the possible consequences, he needed time...or more specifically, Rei to decide.
"...if it is possible, I'll leave the decision to her." He said to De, only until receiving a call to take care of the other patients. "In the meantime, I'll leave you two alone and check up within an hour."
"Mh." Dé thought a bit to himself, squinting his eyes as it sounded at the least like something in his power or capabilities, if not completely get rid of it, he might be able to hold the blood-lust back or weaken it to some extent. Then again there was also the risk of something going wrong and their pact only driving her blood further.
"Of course. I need her consent and agreement for such things anyways." He replied, before waving the good doctor off, turning back to Rei in the mean while. "If you're up for it, i can set us up with some sort of temporary connection to start off it. Not everyone is a good match after all."
Terra almost felt a little giddy there! She always liked it when people had to kneel down to talk to her! Made her feel powerful!
That was a hard question to answer though! She knew what he was selling but explaining it was hard when you weren't so sure yourself!
" Uh...mwagic stuff! Old stuff...weird mwagic dwrinks! He don't need help! "
She exclaimed, looking back at her dad who finally caught up to them. His face red out of exhaustion. Taking a deep breath he just sat the huge bag down.
" I'm so sorry...she just really wants to help..."
The child was just delighted! Chuckling there almost menacingly. Terra was quite the schemer after all!
Nimat smiled, ruffling his daughter's hair before he opened the bag. It must have been a magical relic too seeing how a sales stand actually emerged from it.
Soon being all set up and presenting various strange trinkets! From potions and ingredients to strange objects, such as glowing orbs and sealed boxes with symbols on them.
" Take a look around then. There's no need to rush. We're gonna set up camp here anyway. "
Cherry smiled and placed her hands onto her hips as she listens to Seren, she takes the box and hides it into her feathers before nodding. "Oh you got it boss!" She said happily before turning to head over to the kitchen right away.
To say Runir wasn't ready for that would be true but his body was, it moved on instinct. Reaching out and quickly grabbing her to stop her from stopping the floor too hard, he blinked and smiled as he helped her up right. "It's quite fine, it was my fault. I was rush and wasn't planning enough attention. Are you alright?"
Alice blinks as she let Mitsuki place the flower before smiling happily. Gol was quite happy for the gift while Vol was just too busy napping. "Star-bond?" Alice asked. "What is that?"
"Boss?" Seren hummed a little, before letting out a chuckle. "Just call me Seren or serenity." They'd shake their head, but headed outside to check on some other things they'd need, noticing Mitsuki and Alice.
With Runir's hand around her, Mia would let out a loud 'eep' even one louder, than when she was falling as she'd continue to fluster completely. "I-I'm fine- B-but, not its on me. I - I am just trying to do what i was asked to take care of by Lady Mitsuki and Lord Seren."
Mitsuki blinked a little, before tilting her head. "Wait, Dérin didn't tell you? Well it's a day for us seers where we take care of our friends and loved ones. Giving them gifts and well showing our feelings for them."
Seren, who had been listening to the side, would step over, smiling. "Exactly. It was a day for lovers mostly during the old days."
Odahviing looked at to their hands, opening and closing his hand around hers. He wasn’t sure of why but he kinda liked it?
He hums and nodded. “Then I will, until you say you don’t want it.” He said calmly back and went back to resting his head on top of hers gently.
"Good." Seleine hummed. Just leaning against him, enjoying the moment and silence, until the knight itself would see what was going on from the side, gasping as it would rush to its lady's side.
"Ahh, you fiend! Going for my lady!" The doll would shout, while drawing its wooden sword, as it goes to tap at his foot with it. Seleine would shift her gaze slightly, smiling in amusement.

Tirank smiled slightly at his words and nodded before looking around the courtyard, it was lovely… And she guessed the woman with her saint was this Amarantha, who looked over to Seren and the new comer. Cherry landed onto Seren’s shoulder calmly.
Amarantha looked over Minu to Seren and raised an eyebrow at him and gave a look like yeah I knew . "Well seems like your teacher is here so we should show her around, and I am sure Runir will want to see you right away Seren.” She said calmly as she stood up.
Alice smiles at Dérin freewill about this and she looks over to Mia to smile at her as well, since Mia’s side will keep them from going hungry or anything else. “AS long as we all stay together, it will all work out.”
Serena reached over to gently pat her hair, she wanted to say something on her own stuff but the story she needed to tell would over shadow it a bit…. She took a deep breath and smiled at her. “Alright then… You know that me and the vampires from my family are a bit different from others yes? Well this will explain that, far. Far back, before the empire my family was human. Where the dragon cult was normal and so was the cult to the dark gods, it wasn’t that weird or even wrong to hear about. Unless it was a really bad one to be fine, my family was one of them. Molag Bal was the dark god…we… How much have you read about him?”
Seren gently placed Tirank down, but held her luggage in the air, having it levitate behind them. "Yes, we took quite quick flight here, but showing her to her room and helping her set up would be good. After possibly showing the castle as well." Seren smiled, ignoring the fact that, runir might indeed be looking or waiting on them, but before that, they'd meet amarantha's gaze once more, going 'If you knew, why not tell me? Why cause such a mess? WHY?!' with the looks on their face.
Minu, who used her make shift wheel chair, made her way over to Tirank, nodding for her to follow. "Uh, we can leave them for a moment i g-guess."
Mia's frown turned up slightly, as she nodded. Indeed, she should see the good of things like the other two, and so they continued onward in their path.
Mitsuki had expected that. Having been reading about skyrim and their people, it didn't come off as surprise, but she had thought it to be a sort of 'clan' or 'family' thing between vampires, that not all were or are just as strong. "A dark god? Hm, i think i've read of them, yes. Wasn't he some sort of enslaver and such?"
Despite how lamias were seen back home, the people here had been so friendly that Seraphaura was feeling a confidence in making allies with her new neighbors.
“I can’t wait to meet everyone.” she replied then laughed nervously, “I’m sure maybe we could encourage them to help. Especially if it is someone new to the area perhaps? M-Maybe I could persuade them to help me!”
"More than likely. I doubt there could be anyone here who could resist your smile." Silvy teased, before tapping her on the back a few more times. "Tell you what, i'll take you by the shopping district and you can choose what we'll eat tonight. I'll be treating you to the meal, since you did get through it and hired."
