[Evil Tink]

Soon after the fight, construction began on the mansion, and order slowly started coming through in the vampire world. Serus and her coven had been working hard to block the truth of vampires in the humans' minds; the Augustins were making a great turnaround and their coven was beginning to get some decent numbers and Jaelynn was making great progress with Annemarie's astral projection.


Serus sighed, leaning back in the chair taking a sip of the fine white wine in her glass. She wasn't really listening to the vampire before her as she began to rock the chair a bit. This is so boring. I could care less about how his Coven needs my help. Survival of the fittest does not include those who request help.

After a few more minutes, she couldn't take it anymore and lifted her hand to silence him. "Look, I understand your predicament, all covens were there at one point, but we had to fend for ourselves. I'm not trying to be cold on you, but I can't just give you the protection you need. The Murai's are very powerful elementalists, and don't really appreciate the straggling groups. As I see, you have two options; join her coven or one of the rivaling elementalists. Either way, your family will get merged or destroyed. I'm sorry."

The lanky man sighed, but nodded, "I understand Serus. I'm sure you have more important things to do.." He stood, shaking her hand and thanking her again then disappeared.
