"I agree, however if this is your true self, you should have just shown it from the start. But that is no longer important. The situation we face here is quite serious. I shall fill you in on I what we know." Armata begins pacing back and forth as he explains everything to Prad with elaborate detail. His cloak sways side to side as his weight shifts with each step.

"Recently my castle was attacked by to intruders who abducted my chief advisor and a small child. My advisor "Imperia" and the child "Layoka". After my mages analyzed the energies left by the rift they used to escape, we were able to open a tear and examine their return point. An ancient ruin in my homeworld. A ruin known as "Totemul Suferintei". It was an ancient fortress built long before I was ever born, during the founding of the Vampiric council."

"The fortress was established to be a place of suffering and punishment for Vampires who deviated, or broke council rules. A place reserved for those branded "anathema". Like me. As the leader of this Covenant, I can not allow this attack to go unpunished, nor can I leave my coven members to death or torment. However, I believe they are simply being held as bait to spring a trap upon me. I can't be sure of this yet, but the pieces seem to fall into place."

"The foes Praetor and I encountered are formidable. One was Barghest. A member of the ancient Hellbeast group that Marcus Jaghund descends from. Barghest was a past servant of mine, as such I can vouch that he is ruthless, savage, combative and enjoys the misery of others. The other intruder, I am unsure of. But whoever they were, they were immensely strong and used no weapon at all."

"The plan as of now is to travel to my world, locate Imperia and Layoka, and bring them back safely. We will also destroy any of these previously mentioned intruders and those they work for. First, we will need to speak to my world's council. If I am spotted during the course of our search by any council owned soldier, civilian, peasant, etc. The council will mobilize it's armies to apprehend or kill me. Thus we need to speak with them and gain their acceptance to let us conduct our search. That said we will use the rift creator within this castle to travel to my world."

Armata stands before the group, his eyes shifting between them, assessing their emotions before dropping the final piece of information.

"Lastly, Marcus Jaghund has gone missing several weeks ago. The remains of his signature steed were found on the road heading towards his home some ways outside of Lunalight. Along with signs of battle. I feel my situation is connected to this. If Marcus has fallen prey like Imperia has, then we must expect our foes to be well prepared for a fight. Is there any questions before we leave?"
