The Scottish sky was cloudy the clouds covered the sky and it looked like some sort of storm was going to start. Just outside the Forrest not far from the Castle the clouds break apart and a shining light falls from the sky illuminating the area. The bright light slowly dims and a figure stands wearing a white suit and a hat with fingerless gloves and sunglasses. He looks around for awhile ensuring he was where he thought he was. Briathos adjusted his hat and looked back into the sky where he descended from.
He was there and he was going to use this new human looking form to help the people in this strange time. The Witches and Wizards of this world needed to be taught something and Briathos was going to do his part, he wasn't going to stop all sin on his own. He could only help set an example or so he was told. Were there more Angels? He didn't know. All he knew was he was going to enjoy the mortal realm for a bit first.

Theadora was walking along the edge of the forest. She had her sunglasses pulled over her eyes; after 199 years, she was used to the sun, but it still seemed to be a habit for her. She pressed her hand against her temple, trying to ignore the headache she had developed. Such was the life of a Vampire: if she wasn't hungry, she was having another issue. She looked down at at her porcelain colored hands and sighed.
She had been 15 years old for over 199 years. Almost 200. It was a weird feeling...forever young. It bothered her when she thought about it too long. Her head lolled to the side and she spied an intense ray of sunshine piercing the clouds. Her curiosity got the best of her as she headed in that general direction. A man. That was the first thing she noticed. A very odd looking man. Terribly out of place here, "Hello?" She said tentatively and stopped walking. Better to test the waters first.

Briathos turned slowly to face the female. Something was off about her as soon as he saw her. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, he'd never actually been to the the mortal plane before and so he was slightly ignorant. He stood his ground her unsure of how to deal with her. "Hello" He spoke rather monotone as he looked at her. She seemed to be taking notice of his attire. He looked down at his clothes and noticed they seemed a little different then how he'd seen other mortals before. He looked back towards her and small smile curling his lips.

Thea smiled slight at him and walked a little closer. If he was alone, he might be easy to feed on. And she was in desperate need of easy prey. Valerian had been training her not to feed as much since she was supposed to be going to school with the humans. But something was wrong. The closer she drew, the more she realized that she couldn't smell his blood like a normal human...no. In fact, he smelled like lilacs. Very strong lilacs. Thea wrinkled up her nose and immediately stopped walking.
Her eyes traveled up to his face, where she stared at his bright blue eyes. Her breath caught short in her throat. Could he be...? She wondered. She had heard tell from Valerian and the other Vampires about the beings that would be sent to fight the Demons. She looked him up and down, not wanting to jump to any conclusions, but becoming more and more certain that he was anything less than human. He was also looking at her, confused, she assumed. He looked as if he was lost.
"I'm Theadora. Thea for short." She said, but remained planted where she stood. She didn't want to get any closer to him than this.

Briathos noticed her look to his eyes and his hand shot down and grabbed his sunglasses and placing them over his eyes remembering that he was told to blend in. He adjusted himself and stepped slightly towards her. "I'm Briathos...I don't really have a 'for short' but I erm kinda just got here so...." Briathos noticed how she wrinkled her nose and how the breath caught short in her throat. He pushed the glasses down his nose and peered out from over them.
He first just saw her but when he focused he could see a dim light within. She wasn't a Demon but she wasn't human. He heard her thoughts accidently and he replied accidently. "Could I be what?" He realised what he did and decided he'd pretend it never happened. He was probably going to blow his cover already and have to find a way to regain it.

"Briathos, eh?" Thea said and then watched him take another step forward, "You have a weird name..." She thought she had been thinking it, but it slipped out of her mouth. Immediately, she tried to back-track, "Not that I have any room to judge. Theadora Lipitoare isn't exactly the most common name in the entire world. It's Romanian actually and-" She groaned. Am I rambling? I never ramble... She thought to herself and ran her hand down her face in a mix of exasperation of embarrassment.
"Are you...new?" She asked, trying to regain her composure. But he was getting closer, making her even more nervous. Mature Vampires were always calm, cool, and collected. She would have to stop letting this...guy get to her.

Briathos stopped and looked at her. She certainly seemed friendly enough. "Trust me Thea my last name makes it weirder.My full name is Briathos Asteraoth." He watched er and his smile grew slightly. Maybe his time on Earth wouldn't be too bad. As he got closer to her he saw some emotion flicker within her, she was nervous around him but why? He wasn't going t be any bother. "Yes I am new as a matter of fact..." Briathos looked towards the Castle and back to her with a bright smile from his perfect white teeth.

Latin. His name most definitely sounded Latin. Thea would have to remember to look up what it meant when she had some free time...because it sounded unbearably awesome. She folded her arms across her chest and took a couple of steps backwards, avoiding him getting any closer to her than necessary, "New. Right." She nodded in agreement, "Well if you need someone to show you around-" I'm probably not the best person to do it considering I'm a Vampire, Her mind finished the sentence for her, but then she laughed, "I'm not that knowledgable about the castle...But I know a lot of other stuff."
Other...stuff? She sounded like an idiot. A first class idiot. When you're almost 200 years old, you don't ramble and say that you know stuff.

Briathos nodded and he adjusted his sleeve alloing his cross bracelet to reveal itself but he tucked it back in and smiled. "It's good I need to know other stuff then isn't it?" What am I doing? I'm supposed to be ageless and wise and I'm...I don't even know what I'm going... Briathos heard her thoughts again. Vampire. VAMPIRE? It registered with him. They were unholy bess capable of tearing a man limb from limb. She seemed okay however...probably some sort of ruse. How could he deal with this?

Thea grinned and stuck out her hand for a handshake, finally. She might as well be cordial to him, it wasn't like he was going to hurt her. She needed to stop being so afraid of everyone. Valerian had taught her better than that, hadn't he?
"Anyways, I'd be happy to show you around, newbie." She said and nodded her head. She hadn't quite mastered how to say his name yet, and she wasn't sure that she wanted to embarrass herself even more. Brytos? Britoss? Briathos. She wasn't exactly sure how it...rolled off the tongue.

Briathos gripped her hand tightly feeling her cold hand against his incredibly warm one. He pulled down his glasses and put them in his pocket, his bright blue eyes shining for a moment. He looked at her his hand still gripping hers. "Sorry..." He took his hand away from hers slowly and said ater a few moments of silence. "So...Where to?"

Thea watched him grab her hand, but instead of letting go after the handshake like a normal person would, he continued to hold on. He even took time to take of his sunglasses are stare her down. Theadora suddenly felt very uncomfortable. His hand was burning into hers. It was hot. And her hand felt like it was on fire. She felt the panic start to set in. Was he burning her? Burning was one of the quickest and surest ways to kill Vamps. She finally managed to yank her hand out of his and put it to her side.
Her breathing slowed back to normal and she stared at him for another moment, leaving the silence alone. His eyes were a beautiful blue color. Like the sky above. She was taken aback with them. Incredibly rude, Thea, She scolded herself and then opened her mouth to talk. Much to her surprised her fangs had decided now was a good time to make an appearance. She widened her eyes and immediately closed her mouth, "I'm sorry...could you just...I need to-" She turned around and tried to calm herself down...tried to make the fangs go back.

Briathos' reflexes caught sight of the fangs and her panic and this was confirmation. Although it was unclear what he could actually do about it. He couldn't kill her...She had done nothing wrong and it was unlikely she would with him around. He smiled as he stood waiting for her but he didn't leave her alone. He broadcasted a message to her from his mind. Theadora..I know.. His voice was the same in her head but softer and seemed to have an echo.

"What?" Thea asked aloud and stared at him. She was pretty sure that he had just spoken to her, but it had sounded different, like it was all inside of her head. She managed to get her fangs to retract and slowly turned around to face him. Her facial expression was a mixture of terror, confusion, and general anxiety as she stared at him. Not many people could permeate the minds of Vampires. They had to be very strong. Or another type of Supernatural. Which lead Thea to her next conclusion; He must be the exact opposite of a Demon. Something that could destroy her if she didn't pay attention.
If you had told me sooner, we wouldn't have been talking aloud. She thought, pretty confident that he was now scanning her thoughts, Vampire. You know me. What does that make you, Briathos?

Briathos smiled as she asked what he was. She was a risk, he needed to kep his cover to some extent. Do i not look human? What gave me away? Other than this? His face gave the impression that he was doing something he shouldn't be.
