Heavy footsteps thumped through the remnants of the antechamber of the throne room as the Azure Knight made his way through the rubble and debris that lay strewn about. Crimson light gently licked at the interior of the large room, the blood red aura swirled about the knights body, his eyes burned in silence.
Suddenly, the doors to the antechamber were thrown open and, standing there, was a strange looking figure. It breathed and hissed oddly as it stood, almost triumphantly, in the doorway. The sudden appearance of this...man...caused Nightmare to pause briefly.
"There is nothing here for you, creature." the Azure Knight spoke, his tone was rather aloof despite his menacing appearance.
The knight also realized that the creature was not alone. Nightmare's burning red orbs beheld a young man and woman who seemed to be in the company of the strangely dressed, older man.
Slowly closing his eyes, Nightmare said, dryly,"Leave now...or die."

"There is nothing here for you, creature. Leave now...or die."
Creature.
Voldo hissed angrily at the voice. Did this man not recognise him? His former servant?!
He stalked impatiently up to him, his weapons drawn. He would not leave without the information he sought: where was Tira?!
Crouching down, he blindly carved her name in the stone floor so he would be understood. Standing up again, he waited for the Azure Knight's response.

Cassandra could see Voldo doing something wierd while hissing loudly as ever. Suddenly, Voldo started to carve something on the floor. It said, "Tira". Curious, Cassandra walked towards him. "Voldo, is this the person that took Pyrrha?"[/i] asked Cassandra.

Lucius was looking with some fright at the Azure knight who just welcomed them quite rudely by telling them to leave or die when Voldo seemed to hiss more loudly in anger before he wrote Tira on the ground. Then Cassandr asked the hissing man:
"Voldo, is this the person that took Pyrrha?"
Lucius wanted to ask the man who just welcomed them who he was and mostly if he knew where Pyrrha was but since Voldo seemed to have begun the conversation, he better not speak now. Beside this man was even more frightening than Voldo... But they had to get a answer on Pyrrha before they left... But for now he stayed where he was, only starring at the frightening man in case he decided to attack.

Tira pouted, "Glooms is silly like that. Can we play when my back isn't hurting so much?"
However, her gaze snapped to the door when a noise seemed to resonate throughout the outside corridor. Hissing? Tira's eyes widened. She only knew one person who hissed...
Eep. "If you're willing to play for wagers, then that's exactly what I came to your home to ask you about." Ishimaru said, smiling faintly at Tira. The noise outside did not escape his notice, however, and he glanced over his shoulder at the increasingly close sound of voices. "This place has gotten popular since we were last here at the same time." He muttered.

Wagers? What will we bet on?" Tira asked, cocking her head to one side innocently, despite knowing that it'll, hopefully, end in a scuffle and some bloodshed.
Tira glanced in the direction of the door and the noises that came from beyond its reach, shrugging, "Heh. Looks like a house cleaning session is in order...""

Nightmare glanced down at what the strange man had written, briefly, then returned his eyes to where the seemingly blind man's would be.
"Tira? That name means nothing to me." the knight said, his tone completely devoid of all emotion.
"Voldo, is this the person that took Pyrrha?" the blond woman chimed in, moving closer to the two of them.
"Pyrrha...?" Nightmare repeated, thoughtfully. Memories of the unfortunate "little princess" returning to the Azure Knight.
The red haired youth looked over to the blond woman, then at the man whom stood in silence.
"If Pyrrha is your reason for being here..." the knight spoke as he brought his red eyed gaze back to the woman,"...then your journey has been for naught. The girl was taken from this place."

"Tira? That name means nothing to me."
Voldo rasped in anger. He and Tira had served Soul Edge together - the name had to mean something to him!
"Voldo, is this the person that took Pyrrha?" he heard Cassandra ask. He nodded in reply.
"Pyrrha...? If Pyrrha is your reason for being here... then your journey has been for naught. The girl was taken from this place."
Voldo refused to believe he had travelled here in vain. It had not come as a surprise to him that Sophitia's daughter had gone, but the person to tell them where she was was none other than Tira - where was the wretched girl?! She had rarely left the castle when Voldo had been here, never letting Pyrrha out of her sight. Yet now she had decided to lose her?! Voldo had always privately thought that she was too clumsy for her own good; when Master Vercci was alive he usually put servants like Tira to death.
Voldo rasped irritably, standing his ground. He pointed a katar in the direction of the man in front of him - he would not leave without all the information he could receive on both the girls' whereabouts.

As Siegfried wandered around the castle, he could hear a hissing sound from afar. From the sound of it, it sounded to be loud and fierce like a viper lunging at its victim. He then ran quickly to the direction of the noice.

Cassandra could hear Voldo's loud hissing, sensing that something went wrong. Suddenly, Voldo pointed his blade up front towards the darkness. She then turned to her brother.
"Lu, I think I have a bad feeling about this..."[/i] nervously stated by the young Greek.

"Lu, I think I have a bad feeling about this..."
Lucious nodded: Indeed things looked bad... But he then took a step toward Nightmare and stood beside Voldo.
"Then where is Pyrrha? She is alive?"
He slightly tunrned his head toward Voldo, not quite looking at him because actually both Nightmare and Voldo looked dangerous and whispered:
"Maybe Tira is still with her."

Wagers? What will we bet on?" Tira asked, cocking her head to one side innocently, despite knowing that it'll, hopefully, end in a scuffle and some bloodshed.
Tira glanced in the direction of the door and the noises that came from beyond its reach, shrugging, "Heh. Looks like a house cleaning session is in order..."" "I was planning to have a diverting exchange of slashing and banter with you on the condition you tell me more about the situation with your master if I won..." Ishimaru said, glancing at the door; he probably would not have made such a move with Gloomy Tira, but he felt oddly reassured that Jolly Tira wouldn't go for his throat while he was looking away when the prospect of getting to fight him with a blade in her hand seemed reasonably close. "But if you have company, maybe I should come back another time?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. It sounded like a number of people out there, and Ishimaru didn't have much desire to let his intention to keep Tira alive get him stuck fighting her battles, too.

Tira shook her head at the ninja's idea, "I don't like that game..."
However, she gave no other alternatives as she shakily stood up from the bed and made her way towards the door to seek the intruders - Eiserne or not. She could manage. Probably.

The strange man pointed his weapon at the Azure Knight in anger. Nightmare was actually quite amused by this gesture which was made apparent by the half smile he now wore. Perhaps this...man...would be able to release him from this meaningless existence of endless servitude? Just then, the other male stepped forward, finally deigning to speak.
"Then where is Pyrrha? She is alive?" and after giving the strange man and the knight a fearful glance, the man added,"Maybe Tira is still with her."
The knights smile faded as he turned his gaze to the other male.
"Pyrrha was taken to Venice. I left her in the care of a wind priestess named Talim."" the red haired youth replied rather nonchalantly.
"Furthermore, there was no one by the name of Tira traveling with us. Search the castle if that is your wish..." Nightmare said as he walked past the trio, but stopped as he was exiting the antechamber,"...but do not over stay your welcome."
And with that, the Azure Knight continued out into the darkness of the ruins, taking with him the sinister red glow that swirled around him like a crimson flame that threatened to consume him.

As the sound of the hissing started to sound even louder, he could identify three figures standing there. A wierd looking man with blades wrapped around his arms, the young woman whom he met from Greece and a young man who looks like her.
He then reached the trio. "Greetings, my name is Siegfried Schtauffen, I come in peace..." explained the knight.
