It may be the ultimate irony that the Kris of Pak is a blade weapon, since one drop of blood will render it useless.

Have I passed your test? Have I dazzled you with my expertise?

Tell me, Mr. Chattan, what you know of the VENE SEACH'BUI REGINA, and you will.

The fabled QUEEN of the Netherworld?

The idea is timeless within the Netherworld, but the actual term is only a few thousand years old. The term, which basically means Queen of Magick, is composed of three different languages, Latin, Gaelic and a Netherworld tongue that was first used in Ireland in 800 BCE.

Regina, of course is Latin for Queen. The rest of the term is less obvious --

Enough! I do not want a lecture in ancient languages!

Tell me the secret of the VENE SEACH'BUI REGINA. Tell me the one secret that most dare not even whisper about the fabled Queen.

She shall know the Old Ones...

... for she is one of them.

It is time.

Are you two through, or do you want to go ANOTHER round?!

She was MEAN to me!!

Nyyhhh!

She's mean to EVERYBODY!

She ALWAYS has been.

If I may, please let us leave the emotions until later.

Fine! Whatever!

You know that way, Scotty. Beam us up.

You. Are such. A dork.

So, this Rose chick vamps me and leaves me high and dry. No vampire manual, no nothing, but that's not the point. I helped this Rose split up Chelsea and my best friend, Jubal. Rose told me everything would be better for Chels being with her own kind. I'm a freaking dead body playing mosquito. What do I know?

The real reason all this went down was 'cause Rose has this love-on for Chelsea, but in the end, it don't work out. Rose was extra crisped by the sun, and Chelsea goes home and back to Jubal.

I'm a vampire, a monster. I've killed people for food, and it didn't bother me. Well, not after I rationalized it, it didn't. What I can't get is why I'm telling you this. I've been a vampire for over a year and I still feel guilty for running over my brother's pet rat twenty years ago. I thought I was supposed to be all evil now.

What gives?

We can't all be like this, can we?

I wouldn't get too chummy with that hound.

I'm just passing the time. Someone to talk to.

Talk to someone else. Gustov and Morana have some very special plans for that one. He's going to help change our world.

So, what are they going to do with the little guy?

Why should you care?

I don't know. Why don't you tell me.

Is everyone here?

Must you always be so DRAMATIC, Lil?

I merely wanted to gain everyone's attention.

You certainly gained MINE.

GUSTOV of the NIX. Why am I not SURPRISED?

No reason you should be, my dear.

I KNOW them.

YOU!!!

You tried to kill me!!!

You killed Ro --

GAAAA!!! MY HEAD! MY HEAD!!! STOP IT!

The witch attacked unexpectedly. I had to defend myself.

Did I ask?

Stop it! Stop it!!!

My apologies to all. I will take away her pain.

That was a new maneuver on your part.

I... suppose it was.

If we are all finished with the hostilities, may I walk the uninitiated through a brief introduction?

By all means, bore us all to tears.

We are in a cave beneath Ardeche, France, a cave that has remained undiscovered by inhumanity for the last 10,000 years. A cave that is, for all practical purposes, the entrance to the chambers of the Council of Three.

In just a moment we will UNLOCK the door to the chamber with our keys. Each key represents one of the Council members... Harry, the werewolf councilor, Lilith, the vampire councilor and a founding member, and myself, the practitioner or WIZARD councilor.

Any questions?

Before the rest of you grow old and die, may we get on with this?

I was merely waiting for your required sarcastic retort.

How kind.

Welcome to where magick and matter were born.

Scattered about this ISLAND are portals to different universes, dimensions and times.

Created by GODS or beings that were forgotten eons ago, we have adopted this place as our Council chambers.

As it was 10,000 years ago, so it is again that we assemble to judge our own kind.

Let us enter with the blood and the mercy of our history in our hearts.

All that to come back here?

I believe you were on Mel's little ISLAND over there. One of the perks one gets when one is intimately involved with a Council member.

Mr. Timon and you are...

Hardly.

May I proceed?

No kin shall make war upon another kin for any reason, lest they feel my full wrath! So declares Lilith, martriarch of the vampires. So declares the Council of Three!

She loves making it hail.

I see you chose not to go with the whole speech. Too bad. I do so enjoy seeing the twinkle in your eye when you start talking about the flaying of flesh.

Bite me.

T, guard the vault. If anyone attempts to enter it, kill them. Mrs. Svoboda, go prepare the interrogation chamber as we discussed.

Yes Ma'am.

Yes Ma'am.

Svoboda?

Gustov, a word if you don't mind.

I know what you are up to.

Attempt even to get up off the ground, and Maritza will gut you and feed your entrails to your woman.

That is an interesting WRAP the witch is wearing, aye, vampire.

And I always thought you liked your victims SKYCLAD before torturing them.

According to Council Law the accused is to be presented skyclad.

Unless she is of substantial rank in the Netherworld. Then simple attire is permitted.

What rank does she hold that allows her to MOCK us?

Let me guess. You believe the witch is the MAGICAL PUREBLOOD or the VENE-SEACH'BUI REGINA.

A what?

There is evidence for this.

REGINA or not, allowing her to wear the WRAP OF ROSHEEN is an INSULT to the Red Wolf Clan.

Wait, what the hell is a Ven -- Ven... whatever it was he just said??
