He raised an eyebrow at the last name, but left it unremarked.
"Then with that it seems you have served what use you had." he said with a genuine sigh of regret, speaking low in a voice that did not carry to other guards. "I am sorry, but for what I have planned you are of more use to me dead and better if only one of us walks away knowing what truly occurred in this alley."
With that he attacked, the flat of his blades lancing out to incapacitate her.
Dual Swords 105 (115 with Nightfall) Full Plate Shield (From Ability)
Riposte: Using two swords gives Prince Killion the benefits of a shield. He also counters the first hit he is dealt, inflicting a -10 to his opponent while suffering the effects of the blow himself.
Master Duelist: Riposte now prevents 10 damage from the first attack suffered in addition to its normal effects, and it ignores damage reduction. Every round of a fight that ends in no hit gives Killion a stacking +5 bonus to the next round's roll.
Nightfall: Valyrian Steel Longsword

Still using the king's blood that dripped from him, Amelia attempted to vanish into the shadows.

Killion: 198 Amelia: 121
Amelia is not expecting an assault, and even as her spell starts to take hold Nightfall is bringing her to a rather different sort of shadow.
Killion: 155 The Reapers: 133, 169, 181 Amelia: 109
The fight is quick and brutal, and Amelia is unconscious in short order.

Killion had her hands and legs bound as well as her mouth gagged. before ordering his men to leave them alone and bring the head of the corpse in the harbor back to the keep.
When it was just him and his unconscious salt wife, Killion waited, not knowing what to expect.
"Will this be a suitable first offering?" he inquired, to the shadows themselves, feeling somewhat ridiculous.

After long minutes the breeze floats in and the male appears, looking down at Amelia. "That was fast," he said drily. He sniffed in and breathed deeply. "Of course," he said. "I assume you'd rather my better half gives you the gift?" he said with a chuckle. Killion hasn't heard the female but she is close behind him, ten, maybe twelve feet. "It cannot be said you don't know how to make a point."
amelia wakes up.

Amelia looks up and see the creature staring down at her. She tries to speak but it only comes out as a mumble through the gag.

"If those are my options, aye." he replied, knuckles white as they clenched the hilt of Nightfall, feeling goose pimples rise on his flesh.

The female walks to him and smiles. "This will sting for a moment." She leans forward and pulls his trousers down, then leans into his inner thigh and dagger sharp but needle thin teeth dig into his leg, entering the femoral artery, and he feels a rush of energy surge through him for a moment. Euphoria results, like a dozen whiskeys without the loss of mental capacity, but he does see some odd things, wars he's never been part of and people he's never seen. The female rises and smiles. "How does it feel...Your Grace?"

"Amazing." he said, a breathless exhalation, feeling his nerves tingle, the euphoria making the visions less unpleasant. "Better than that red powder that was being peddled. What are the side effects?"
He began padding himself, as if expecting some more notable change, touching the tip of his tongue to his canines to make sure they hadn't grown on him.

"Side effects? I wouldn't worry about those," the woman said. She leaned over Amelia and looked her over. "A strong one," she said in approval. "Although, thinking on it, you may want to reintroduce slavery. The taste for blood grows ever so powerful," she admitted. "You might want to leave for this next part."

There was fear in Amelia's eyes now as she looked at the beast that was standing over her. Not much she could do though, apart from squirm.

"The taste for blood?" he inquired. "I would like a bit more explanation for exactly what I have just purchased. You only mentioned longevity."
"I'll remain if it's all the same." he replied, only hesitating for a moment. "It is a poor king who shields his eyes from the consequences of his decisions."

The male sighed as he went for Amelia, then he stopped. "You've been gifted with our kind's blood, directly into your veins. It...degrades rapidly," he said, "it lasts so long because it eats your human blood to strengthen itself. The human blood must be replenished. Fairly regularly," he said. "You will die without a regular dose of human blood. With a source of it...you can live centuries." He smiled down at Amelia. "We don't need her blood," he said, "but it tastes sooo wonderful, and her fire burns strong." He licked his lips and sank his teeth into her neck, more gently than he had Faeron apparently. Or perhaps the female had bitten Faeron and she was more brutal. A slow stream of blood flows into the vampyr and he slowly changes colors, from pale to full skinned, to a dark tan like he was a Dornishman. "Would you like a bite?" he offered the king. "The cravings will start by tomorrow if you aren't fed properly."

Amelia cried out when the teeth sank into her neck and her blood was sucked out - she squealed against her gag as tears streamed down her face.

"That sounds as much curse as blessing. Do magic users simply taste better?" he asked, curious. He watched the male vampyr drink, amazed as his skin tone darkened. Killion was disgusted by the thought of drinking blood, at least in theory, though assumed his appetite was suddenly in firm disagreement. Such was the price for a near immortal reign and he was too far down this course now. He leaned down and took a taste, sinking his teeth into the soft flesh.
