She stood atop the cliffs overlooking the lake below. She didnt look like the same old peaceful Nailana. She had changed. Looked more forelorn and weak. She looked almost starved of food and just plain sickly. The change had come gradually. It wasnt drastic or sudden. It jsut came over time. Since the day she had fought with Hannibal to find the man causing the plague. IT had seemed once she came into close proxemity with the man her once dorment disease seemed to erupt to life. But today, today was the worse day for her. She had jsut been to see her daughter. Her daughter looked far worse then she did, and she worried what would come. She wondered how much time her daughter had, and how much she herself had. Either way she would have to speak to the family soon. They needed to know, she should have told them all a long time ago, and it was her own selfish act that had caused her to push it this far back. She closed her eyes and let the cool breeze wash over her.

He laughed and looked at the woman before he kept going towards his sister. "Leave me be, I'm speaking to my sister now, I need my privacy." He rolled his eyes and kissed her goodbye. "Yes, tonight, I promise." He watched the Vampire Slayer go and just continued. "So, here we are, what do you want?" He stared at her. "You're dying Nailana, if you didn't notice."

She sensed her brother nearing her with a woman. She had heard he had rekindled an old flame, one from very long ago. But this woman was not her. She just shook her head and opened her eyes as he drew nearer, "We are here. And is it a crime for your older sister to wish to have some time with her brother?" She inhaled deeply, "I have noticed brother. And I hope for the sake of my family that I do not pass. They have had to suffer through my death once before, and I wish to not cause them that pain."

"Everyone dies Nailana. It's nothing to mourn, nothing to celebrate. We just leave and handle a new type of life." He looked out onto the vast expanse and just fixed the thick cape he had on. The weather had cooled, and he had just been to a vastly mountainous area. "So, what do we need to speak of? Inheritance? Things that I won't get because Hannibal is far more important than your siblings?" He laughed and just cracked his knuckles. "Hannibal...what a filthy man, but surprisingly a good brother-in-law. Besides, he is the father of my nephew, so I respect him for putting up with that boy. Were a handful, our family that is. Surprised anyone puts up with us actually."

She smiled sadly, "You need true love Draven. To truly know loss, it is to love someone then loose them. Your mother died many years ago and you mourned her briefly. You would not miss your dear older sister if she passed? Probably not, I was never the greatest of sisters. But I did try." She felt a wave of nausea and closed her eyes till it passed, "You will become the head of the house of Lee upon my death. WE only have little left. But these lands. They are still ours. And if it pleases you, you can reclaim what was once rightfully ours. You will also get passed a Gaurdianship. It doesnt mean much now since the power we gaurded has been pilliged by my own husband, but it is still brewing somewhere. Hannibal is important to me. He has brought me a happy life, but you and Antoinette are my siblings. No one can take your places." She laughed slightly, "Father of your Nephews my dear brother. We have an older son as well. Marcus. I do not know if you have met him yet."

"Fight for this land and die like our brother? No thank you. I'm not dying for family honor through land. No. Build on it, do what they want with it. I fought more than I wanted to under our brother, I'll give it to Fenrir, my favorite. Since I didn't know I had another. I'll meet him eventually I suppose." He shrugged. "Yes, love, Hannibal means everything. Don't quite understand the concept, but alright, you love him, but if you die, he will find someone else. He is a King, and they are just as filthy as any other family line. You'll be missed and then forgotten."

"Salaz never faught for honor. He faught for power and cruelty. never for what was good for the family. But in the case of my death it is yours to do with as you please. As for Marcus, you will meet him eventually I guess. He is caught up in his own problems to notice there are others that need to be attended too." She frowned, "Hannibal himself does not mean everything. But the family we have created by our joining does." She frowned, "I do not wish to think of those things, even if it is the truth." She closed her eyes once more, "Your neice is dying. The youngest of my line. It is another reason I have asked to see you. Tell me what you know of this plague and the man named Julenar? You have traveled much over the years. Surely you have heard something of this man."

"I can't say that I've ever heard of that man in my life. Perhaps in a book or maybe someone I may have met but my memory tells me that I do not know the man, so there is your answer." He nodded. "As for this plague you speak of, I have heard there is no cure, it kills without mercy, and I do not believe it is contagious, because if it is, you've infected your entire family including myself. Just like a Lee huh?" he laughed. "If we have to go, everyone has to go." Draven grinned. "I know for a fact that if this was going to transfer from you to me by speaking, I wouldn't even be here, I'd let you die and have your burned to ensure the virus dies."

She nodded, "I have confronted this man once. But for not very long. My dear husband felt the need to take the fight to where I couldnt get within distance enough to harm him." She smiled slightly, "I have heard that it spreads like wild fire. That it is contagious. But I myself am not. It is contained be a mixture of herbs that Farinele and Earnur have mixed for me. I would never endanger my family if I thought I could infect them." She looked at her brother with a smile, "As would be expected dear brother. I would do just the same if it occured to anyone in our family circle."

"There's never a guarantee. Even with the magic of elves. If I can go along without getting the sickness, and live, I'll be fine." He shrugged and just picked at his teeth for a little while. "So, is that all? Why you've come here and decided to become all wise because you are so sick." He laughed. "None of us are wise. We like to think we are, like to think we have valuable information for our young ones, but the truth is, it doesn't matter what you tell them. It's their lives, not ours."
