"I've not really thought about it all that much Vessel, mostly due to my career. Maybe if I were a few years older, I would reconsider. Although, I have had dreams about it, and their mother was someone I care about very much; someone who I could live with happily for the rest of my days with."

"Oh, I see." Vergil said in a slightly saddened tone.

"Why do you think you wouldn't be any good as a mother? Is it because of the process that is involved? Could it be something to do with the gods? I can try help if you want me to." He asked, showing concern for the Vessel.

"Yeah, I guess spending years in the medical profession would mean that your sufficiently knowledgable of how someone would become pregnant. And your right about a good person not being made solely because of their health, you also have to consider how the person was raised. Maybe at some point, we should just get away from the group, and do something as a couple; something we'll both enjoy." Vergil said with a caring voice, and friendly expression.

"What do you mean by having already tried it and failed?" He then asked with a look of curiosity.

" I heard some people talking. And... Well... Am I insane?" The Vessel had asked. This had been one of the tougher questions that Vergil had been asked, and one he had been slightly dreading. I mean, what was he supposed to say to her? Vergil began to think, this left him quiet, which must have made the Vessel nervous as to how he would respond. He then began to ask himself some important questions of his own.

" What should I say to her? Tell the truth and say she is completely mad? Or lie, and say its all in her head, which in a way it is. Why this question, I suppose I should of realised that she would ask it at some point. But what should I say? Hmm, maybe that is it... " He said with a slightly hopeful voice.

"Well... I think that your only slightly insane." Vergil said with an immediate stutter, nervous about her response.

"Look, I'm sorry, I just don't know how to respond to that kind of question."

Vergil felt somewhat relieved that the Vessel hadn't burst into a sea of tears, or flew into a fiery rage at his response; this made him feel more relaxed, and that he could focus more on her next question.

"Maybe... maybe its because that they think your delusional, that all the voices of the gods, are just figments of your imagination."

Kain Whitestroke-Crypt-Tinsdal

Kain gave a slight chuckle at "Northern Hospitality." He leaned forward on his horse as he responded, "Northern Hospitality? That's a good one. Normally Northern Hospitality involved people shanking the tourists who walk down the wrong alley." He noticed that caution surrounding the men. Some were reaching for their weapons. Kain pointed at the men with a smirk, "Yeah, Northern Hospitality right there."

"What do you think you are?" The Vessel had asked, obviously feeling a mixture of fear and confusion as to what she saw in front of her, almost to the point of tears. Vergil knew true to his heart that he felt no different, but now with this notion; he too began to feel a series of negiative emotions; fear, sorrow, pain, confusion, and anger. But he wanted to remain strong for his beloved, to not be beaten by the fears that clouded his mind, but Vergil realised that to understand his weaknesses would be a sign on strength. He embraced the Vessel, and spoke to her softly and reassuringly.

"Vessel, what I think I am is alive, and to that I owe you a debt of gratitdue; you have given me a second chance, thank you so much. I feel that my undying love for you is whats keeping me going. There is no sensation of rigor mortis in these joints of mine. But, there is also the fear that should your powers ever cease, that I will return to the darkness; and leave you, I don't want that to happen; for there is so much of our story left to be written, and I want to be there for the epilogue." Vergil said with a smile as he kissed her.

"But, what if your wrong, your powers having no effect on me might just be a side effect from all that negative energy you had pent up inside of you yesterday; and the fact you used a lot on energy up to bring me back, its simply having trouble recognising me because of it." He remarked, trying to sound hopeful that its just a temporary setback.

Kristina Kerrigan - Along The District Streets (The Dean's Crypt) - Tinsdal

The man had given a slight chuckle at 'Northern Hospitality' part of Kristina's statement. He then leaned forward to give a proper response. "Northern Hospitality? That's a good one. Normally Northern Hospitality involved people shanking the tourists who walk down the wrong alley." Kristina was feeling increasingly annoyed at the man, as he cast a gaze over her retinue as they had their weapons ready. He then smirked. "Yeah, Northern Hospitality right there." Kristina gave a brief sigh of disgust, then responded.

"Men, release your hold on your weaponry for the time being, but remain on alert for any other potential threats; we don't know who else could be lurking." She ordered, her men reluctantly following. Kristina then looked directly at the man on horseback, realising who it was; but chose to keep it secret.

"So, what is a man like you doing here?"

"Business. I'm up here speaking with potential clients and I've been visiting friends in the area." Kain replied back.

Katelyn Verneer - The Dean's Mansion (Dining Room) - Tinsdal

So much had happened. So much was about to happen. The thought of it all had swamped her mind and she stopped for a moment to think things through and sort her world out. Although she had found that her consciousness had strayed and fallen into blind panic about what the future might hold, what dark and terrible actions lurked in the shadows on the road ahead. She shook her head and scolded herself for been so stupid. Worrying now was useless and would only lead to defeat.

?So, are we ready??

Katelyn Verneer - The Dean's Mansion (Dining Room) - Tinsdal

?Well.? With a tinge of sadness laced in her voice she spoke as if remembering something she should never have forgotten. ?We can start the search for my sister with a visit to my mother.? Katelyn let a pause hang delicately in the air for a fleeting moment. ?She will have been keeping a lead on her. I?ll take you to see her in the Overwatch base of operations here in the North and then maybe you can finally understand what Scarlett was into.?

A faint smile crossed her lips at the mention of her name.

Vergil was so lost in the problem with Vessel, that he had completely forgotten that Katelyn was still in the room; felt like she had been away for a long time. She mentioned a trip to her's and Scarlett's mother, who was working for some group called the Overwatch; and the prospect of finally discovering more about Scarlett, only furthered Vergil's curiosity.

"Yes, lets get going Katelyn, Scarlett has a lot to answer for, especially why she was so obessessed with that damned seal. I get the feeling that we'll also discover Tear's own hand in events as well." Vergil spoke with an air of confidence, determined to get to the bottom of these mysteries.

Katelyn Verneer - The Streets - Tinsdal

So the time had finally come. She looked across the room with a thin smile emerging on her lips. Hiding the feelings rising inside from the others in the group. When she had left her mother to begin the search for Scarlett she had not left on the best of terms and Katelyn could feel the apprehension about returning. She knew she had no choice in the matter, with events escalating beyond her control she needed to seek help from her mothers organisation, as much as it pained her to admit it. Widening her smile she nodded to the others to follow and began to walk across the dining room. There was a slight feeling of loss at leaving behind the comfort of the Dean?s estate as the accommodation would only take a turn for the worse from here.

Leading the others into the bright sunshine of the morning outside she turned around and made sure that each member of the group had followed. They had. Without a word she led them into the streets of Tinsdal, making sure to take the long route to make some kind of effort to hide the eventual destination. The world was waking up to the new day and people flooded the streets with noise and the smell of fresh baking. A tempting sweet smell that reminded Katelyn life the district was better than most other places in the North. A fact that showed in the sea of faces that passed.

After some time she found the narrow and cramped street. It looked to have been forgotten by the locals and a mound of rotting crates stacked up high against one wall. It looked in danger of falling at any moment. The street emerged into a courtyard. The stone had grown green with moss and other plant life due to neglect and a disused fountain was pressed into the far wall. The face of a God would have at one point poured water from its mouth into the circular bowl that now remained dried and cracked. The weather had long since destroyed the face so it was impossible to tell who it should have represented. Katelyn stopped before the fountain and pulled a single gold Kiel coin from her pocket. She let the group take in their new surroundings for a moment before she tossed the coin into the fountain pool. The echo of the clattering coin seemed rather loud.

Somewhere above a face peered out from a boarded window. Waving down hidden archers.

?I see you brought friends.?
