"Altur Kronen..." She stared at the man for a few moments in silence. Accepting the drink from Augustus she promptly slammed half the glass that sent a shiver down her spine. "I was aware of his injuries, I've seen his scars." She rotated the glass so the alcohol swirled around the edges. "I didn't ask about your son though." If any more guests decided to join this little get together she would need a lot more alcohol and she didn't want to have a hangover later.

 

This felt somewhat awkward, sitting in front of the elder Kronen, she had no clue what Kraussus would do if he found out she had met him. All the more reason to avoid him as much a possible. Too many people in her head anyways it seemed. She took a drink and looked to Augustus. "Will he be joining our discussion?"

[Thugren]

"DO you want him to be?"

 

augusutus asks, looking to your right where another shadow crouches.

 

"Going to be silent old friend.."

 

two feline eyes open and adjust automatically.

 

"I was resting augustus.."

 

The varghen growls, standing and cracking his spine.

 

"I really dont care enough about this girl."

 

In the scant light you can see the visage of the massive varghen.

 A solid, bulky tiger with a fierce gaze and imposing manner.

 

"This is Malcor....Father of johten and jarvan....Creator of the progenitor substrate that we use to keep the bodies from going ghoul.:"

[Lafayra Rue]

"Fucking hell!" Raissa stood quickly, distancing herself from the varghen. It was starting to feel crowded in here. She found herself by the door to the bathroom so she propped herself against the door frame, blocking the way in. Running her hand through her hair she sighed and pinched the bridge of nose. "Why can't this be some crazy hallucination?" she mumbled to herself. Three great minds, the greatest of her time, and she was so socially inept that she couldn't hold a proper conversation with them. She had read everything they had printed that she could get her hands on, she remembered the words by heart, and it had been that knowledge that had gotten her through the worst time of her life.

 

The first year with the Nazi's had been almost unbearable for her. She had felt herself slipping into madness until the day she picked up one of the scientist material. Rasputin had been reaming them for weeks about the failure of the gene manipulation they were working on. The reference material was from Augustus's work and she soaked it up like a sponge. It let her escape from the torture and state of mind the put her in...and she wanted to know more. Even at eleven she understood what he wrote, like it was born into her, and now they were in the same room as her and she couldn't think of what to say. What a great time to meet your heroes, right after a mental breakdown.

[Thugren]

Altur rolls his eyes at her.

 

"God shes a broken doll augustus...Why are we wasting our time?''

 

The vargeh chuffs and leans against the wall.

 

"Becasue i see it fit to.....We are going to need her, and the only way that is going to happen is if we get her cofortable enough around us that we can actually do our jobs."

[Lafayra Rue]

"Seriously? The doll thing again?" Raissa scowled and slammed the rest of her drink, she was getting pretty drunk. "What the hell do you need me for that you couldn't do yourself? You're all brilliant, everything I do know I learned from the papers you wrote. I can't do anything that you won't possibly end up teaching me." She put the glass down on the nearby dresser. "Ha, and god forbid I end up in the same room as one of your sons, I'm sure you've heard how well I handle Krausus." She looked at Augustus. "What do you really want from me?"

[Thugren]

"Everything.."

Augustus smiles as he tuns in his chair to look at the tiger.

 

"We all have duties we all must fufill girl....."

 

HE watches as a figure walks into the room . He is clad from head to toe in combat gear. His eyes are obscured by a red tinted eyeglass , but on his chest is a simple name . "Alduin"

 

"DOne meeting with your children old friend?"

 

Augustus asks as he refills her drink.

 

"Paying your son a visit?"

[Armoured Priest]

"I would have, if you four would have shut up at all. Could barely hear him over you four talking about...dolls?" He said to him in a confused tone. He looks at all of them before stopping at girl, who seemed to be getting drunk. "And she is......." he said, wanting to be filled in by someone. The quick hushed journey here already grated his nerves, and the lack of information is now making it worse.

[Lafayra Rue]

"Great." Raissa didn't bother to tell Augustus to not give her more to drink, he was obviously feeding her drunkenness. The arrival of yet other person made her cover her face with her hand. She was clearly being outvoted and the alcohol was meant to make her more compliant and it was working. The want to protest was still there but she was tired, wasted, and very uncomfortable being around so many people that she sunk slowly to the floor, and just sat there with her drink, ready to listen.

[Thugren]

The elder dragon stirs, like an acient wyrm stirring from a great sleep.

 

"SO its you......Our lucifer..."

 

He coughs and licks of flame can be seen from his mouth.

 

"This is my father....The great drachen blut hero...I never thought id see you..Father."

 

Augustus chuckles and looks back at Raissa.

 

"You have a very special opportunity young one...YOu are going to assist us in curing the undead virus...Isnt that fun."

[Lafayra Rue]

"No...no this is not fun. Getting drunk is fun, but obviously not right now. Hustling stupid soldiers in cards is fun. Spiking people's food is fun. This..." She gestured wildly around the room. "...is not fun. You're a bunch of old sourpusses that decided you needed to save the world. That's not fun or exciting. That's depressing." She finished her glass in one go. "Why should you save it, why should I?"

[Armoured Priest]

Alduwin took a step forward to the obviously inebriated doctor. "First off, I woke up from a 400 year going ice nap so I'm still trying to balance thing up here." he said, pointing to his head. "But I know I'm no sourpuss, especially compared to this guy." He pointed to Augustus. "Back then, the choice was easy to make, I had family, lots of family, dear to me, and good people left behind that needed me. That was how drachen blut started off. And miraculously my son here was able to keep them together through everything since then. I'm not  doing it just for the world, I'm doing it for my family made through bonds not just blood, and my son's family, and his kid's family so on and so forth depending on how much fucking has happened. I'm asking for your help for them." he told her, the tone having a tinge more seriousness then the joking tone he had. "After it's all said and done, how about I promise you to take you to vegas and burn down some casinos for fun.....if vegas is still around that is...." he said to more to himself then her as he looked down in a moment of thought. He looked back to her. "If it means anything to you, I know everyone in drachen blut would be thankful of you, I know I will. A group of oddballs knowing of the story of the oddball out in a group of old legendary sourpusses." he laughed.

[Thugren]

augustus waves off alduin.

 

'Because you ahvent tasted real fun girl...YOu want fun? Try working one sculptting mankind from the genetic level. Try making youre dreams come alive...Thats fun."

The tiger varghen smiled.

 

"So is hustkling soldgiers...Weve got plenty to hustle girl."

[Lafayra Rue]

She met Augustus's gaze with a side long look. "You do not know my dreams old man, and I don't set my aspirations very high. While I'll admit tampering with DNA is indeed fun, I wouldn't be able to work alone." Her gaze lingered on Alduwin and his son for a few seconds. "I will not do this for your families, they are really of no concern to me." She rotated the cup in her fingers to watch the light catch the glass, she was already starting to sober, damn her tolerance. "At this point I'd rather chance being captured and killed, considering I started a world war." She laughed with disdain.

[Thugren]

"She wont....Be doing any of that..'

 

A chilling, cold voice hisses, making all four figures jump.

 

Krausus, and his brother sethis seem to bleed from the shadows of the doorway. The massive jaguar draws a blade as augustuses eyes narrow.

 

"What....are you.."

 

He hisses, standing as krausus steps betwween the figures and Raissa.

 

"She comes with us...And that is how its going to be.."

 

Altur visibly tries to obscure his face as Alduin sits up.

 

"Stranger...Do not xcome into my home making issues.."

 

He hisses, steam trailing from his nose as krausus clenches his fist.

 

"If they do nbot make problems , there will be none."

[Thugren]

kraususes eyes glow, and a vicous burst of force hurls Aldwyn through a window, sending him sprawling into the snow .

 

"Seth....Go tangle with the mutant while i deal with this."

 

The elder sits up with a pained grunt but krausus holds up his hand.

 

"Elder dragon....I am not here to casue issues...I am here to save a friend from madness..i will leave as soon as ive said my peace."

 

Augustus growls and the air around him seems to hum.

 

"insolent boy.....You are an ant...."

 

Krausues eyes glow a deep red and he smirks.

 

"Is that why youve been trying to exert enough pressure to break my spine but are since unable to?"

 

with a wave of his hand, augustus stumbles back a step as Altur growls.

 

'Boy....Enough of this insolence! We have a ..."

 

Krausus raises his hand and there is a huff of wind that sends a heavy book into his fathers face.

 

"enough......Raissa....Get up love....Were leaving."

[Lafayra Rue]

"Enough!" Raissa had gotten to her feet in the blink of an eye. "For gods sake Krausus, enough!. Out into the hallway, now. There's enough testosterone in this room already." When he didn't budge she stepped in front of him. "Dammit Kronen I'm serious. Leave. We'll talk in a minute."

[Thugren]

kronen grunts and turns on his heels, making augustus hiss as he went outside after his scaled brother.

 

"Altur your boy is ....Problematic"

 

 

The elder kronen grunts in pain as he tries to steady himself.

 

"His mother was the same way."

 

The old german stifles the bleeding in hsi nose as Alduin sits back.

 

'It looks like youre going to have to make a choise small one,..."

[Lafayra Rue]

"You know, its amazing that out of all of you the only one here who's polite enough to ask me what I want is laid up in bed." She looked at Alduin. "I don't see why I have to choose, its possible to work with both of you. My agreement with Krausus is as his doctor and I can't help him until he has that ore. I have nothing to do in the meantime other than hate life, but I will help you on my terms. I really don't want to deal with another dick waving contest."

 

She walked to the door and opened it to see Krausus waiting for her impatiently. "You should be resting anyways, or have your friends forgotten that you just had a major surgery?" With that she stepped out and shut the door.

[Thugren]

krausus looks at Raissa as she comes out.

"i told you id be here....."

 

He folds his arms leaning agaisnt the wall.

 

"Alot of.....Old men in there....Anything you should be telling me?"

 

he chuckles dryly.

[Lafayra Rue]

Displeasure bubbled in her stomach but she glanced at him as she walked past him. "No need to be jealous Kronen, you can't have everything."
