I chuckled softly. "Yes, that would be excellent. I would say that his just rewards are long overdue, wouldn't you?" Then, without another word, I stepped inside and beheld the castle of Blue Ridge. It was a vast and dark place, cast in shadows and gloom, just as it was on the outside. The glassy marble floor was decorated with statues of every shape and size, all of them were images of people, some old some new, some crumbling and some as flawless as the marble they were placed on. As I walked among them I could 'see them' in a sence, for everyone of them, as they grazed my fingers, had a signal, a sorce of inner light . . .and each one of them reached out desperately for release . . . "These are his victims, Teth. These are the ones that have fallen prey to his fangs but have not tasted his blood . . .not one person besides my mother and I have had that privilage . .." I groweled "that curse." Then I paused. " . . .no one else . . .except for one other man . . ."

I smiled at her and followed her in and saw the statues and I frowned and looked away from then not wanting to see them. I then heard Robin and I said “I know they were his victims, I can still hear their screams and sense their soul very faintly within them, such tortured souls…” I then shook my head and closed my eyes to get rid of the sorrow I felt for then and I swore there that I would get their revenge for them on the so called first vampire. I then looked at Robin and said “It is only a curse if you let it be one my friend” and then I added “Care to tell me who the other one was who tasted his blood?”

I closed my eyes and sighed when Tethys asked the question. "Morgan Sholamare took only one, only one to be his companion who would spend eternity with him, learning from him . . .his name was Kye, Kye Grayson. And it was my mission, long ago, to steel Kye away before Morgan could taint him beyond saving . . ." I turned away from her and rested a hand on the base of one of the statues. "It was by order of my mother that I went, carrying with me the only other ring that she ever created. But, when I found Kye, he was starved, crazed with bloodlust, so much so that he was willing to kill his own parents to satisfy it." I then turned back to Tethys. "It was because of Sholamare's twisted promises that he ever got that way . . .and it was I that gave him the ring, if only to save him." "And, on our three week journey back to my mother's realm . . .I fell in love with Kye, despite my best efforts not to. I have loved him ever since . . ."

I gave Teth a sad smile. "I have not seen him in nearly a century. He left . . .on a quest to save my life, which is another story all together. He did succeed in he quest but, the magic that he used to save me cost him more then he was willing to give . . .I do not know what happened to him . . .for when I woke, all i was told was that Kye had gone, he had disapeared . . ."

I listened and closed my eyes and put my arm on her shoulder feeling her sadness and I said "I am sorry Robin, i did not mean to bring back sad memories." I would have said more but I got a chill up my spine and the place started to get colder by the seconded and I moved away and said almost in a hiss "Such evil...Robin let us end this and talk later...maybe once this evil is gone your love will come back."

I sighed and nodded. "Perhaps." and then I felt a dark and terrible chill run down my spine, just as Tethys had a few moments ago . . . "Lets get this over with," I said darkly. My hands gripped the blades at my sides and made the ones on my wrists ready for combat. Then I stretched one hand out in front of me and began to seek out my father's aura, as if it were some evil becon . . . I began to climb the carpeted stairway that led up into the highest reaches of the Blue Ridge Castle . . .trying to pay no mind to the slithering whispers that echoed all around . . . "It is pointless you know . . ." the voice taunted "you will never succeed . . .and you lover . . ." a laugh "well, let's just say . . .I have a surprise for you . . ." the laughter continued for long moments before it faded into nothing. I stopped , frozen on the stairway . . . "Kye . . ." I whispered "what has he done with Kye?"

I nodded to Robin and followed and listened to the whispers and rolled my eyes. Then when I heard it mention her lover, I froze along side Robin and then heard her and I said in a soft voice "We will not know until we are there my friend, let us go and if he truly did something to your lover I use all the power I can to undue his evil."

I heard Tethys speaking beside me . . .and that was enough to shake me from my frozen state. I nodded and began to take the steps two at a time, bounding up them in a rush . . .what had happened to Kye? What had that monster done to him? Then, at last, my hand touched the door that I had hoped to find. I brushed the metal ring . . .and then a lion's head and mouth . . .the door handle. I paused and waited for Tethys. "This is the door that leads to his chambers Teth . . .be on your guard." And with that, I pushed the heavy wooden gate open . . .and walked into the utter darkness beyond.

I saw Robin nod and I followed her until we reached a door and I heard her and nodded and when she opened the door and walked in, I followed her into the darkness and then as soon as I entered then door closed behind me and I let out a small hiss My eyes blue eyes started to glow faintly as I looked around the place and still I saw nothing and then I got ready to pull out my katanas for I felt soon I would need them.
