Sensing the hostility aimed at Joseph... Ash suddenly parted from Jalken as she stood up, looking to find the one who is throwing a spat at the sisterly reunion. "WHERE ARE YOU?! SHOW YOURSELF !!!"

="WHY should I ? You lot are as pathetic as you can be. Clinging to each other for support like a sad little soliloquy. DO YOU REALLY THINK YOUR BONDS LAST FOREVER?? THEY WILL WITHER. THEY WILL WANE. THEY WILL BE RUINED - AND ALL EMOTIONS WILL DIE THROUGHOUT TIME AND SPACE. WHAT IS CONSTANT... IS THE CYCLE OF LIFE AND DEATH!!"=

THE moment this is said - Joseph hears a sharp noise hit the air - and he sees a whirling missile aiming for the side of his head -- only for it to be repelled by the barrier that Ash had set up for him many hours ago. The missile is shot oft like a ricocheted bullet, clattering on the ground. And then...

For a brief moment, Joseph senses Ash's power wane. As if it was expended to protect him. And then...

Two bullet aims straight for Jalken and Ash

"NO!!"

ASH pushes Jalken out of the way - and she is flung off to the side ---

As Ash is gunned by two missiles on her chest...and she hardly had time to react. She falls to the ground...the light from her eye dying.

"ASCHERA!!!" shrieks Jalken.

Lyndis bobs her head to the side. "Then...why don't we catch up on something else we are proud of?" She extends her hand....and a rapier-sword is erected made of solidified blood. All the Vampires watching them are in awe.

"Combat. Mortal. Combat." She flicks her rapier like a fencer. "Isn't your husband going to do the same? Well....we do have a different tradition of our own. As Vampires."

The Vampires all stare at Lyndis...and then stare at Pir'e. As if expecting for her to respond in turn.

Midarith watches from the sidelines...and then she realizes someone had entered in to watch as well. "Rare that you would come to this place."

It was Konigia. "If this girl truly is the one the Clowin had chosen... let's ensure she is fit to be that vessel. (Eyes steel) I will watch this training. With my own two eyes."

She sits...again, on a throne made of black jutting spikes she creates. All the while...her gaze is unwavering.
