A new arrivals...

standing up and open your eyes you saw the familiar sight of the hall with the Shrine Maiden and Andre hammering away, but somethings were different, one your Keeper wasn't there waiting anxiously for you as usual and that sat on the steps was a Woman in all white with a calm look.

wishing to meet the new arrival you approached the White warrioress wondering who she was, "Hail, M'lady..." she looked up at you, her expression remaining a cold and empty one "Mm, you're an Unkindled, aren't you, I am Sirris, of the Sunless Realms, former servant of the Divinity" she was definitely strange, her voice was kind but her expression cold, "Good to meet you Lady Sirris, and yes I am on a Quest to find the Lord of Cinder" this time she made a small grin though her eyes remained Cold "...Duties we each bear, but one's duty is a solitary affair." very interesting and Curious "I doubt we've much to gain from fraternisation..." she thinks you wanted assistance? well its not unwelcome but you hoped that you looked capable, either way you couldn't win them all and you knew you could handle you mission "very well M'lady, do stay in good health" she bowed her head "Blessing of the moon upon your journey."

You returned a short bow before turning away to talk to Yoel, it was a shame she was quite beautiful... walking down the corridor you said hello to Andre asking him were the Keeper was, "She told me that she would take'th rest in her Chamber, I do believe she was worried for you, Champion" thanking Andre you carried on to Yoel walking down the stairs and beginning to walk down the hall you saw something that made your heart skip a beat.

Yoel your servant-your friend lay on the ground, "Yoel!" you shouted running to his cold body on the ground, you took his wrist feeling his pulse: nothing he was gone, dead for a long time, who did this? "Nobody struck him down, he fell of his own volition..." Drawing you blade you turned to face the Mysterious Voice only to see a woman?

she was tall for a woman, just shorter than you 6 feet at least, from head to toe she was in black, sporting a Onyx robe with gauntlets and Grieves with a large helmet with a mask on all Dark as Night "what do you mean?" you said regarding her words "I Came'th to see for myself if it was true..." she walked up to Yoel making you cautiously back away blade pointed at her, she didn't react to the threat crouching to touch his hand "...Oh, prithee...art thou good Yoel's master?" she knows Yoel, perhaps his former master "indeed I am- well was..." she bowed respectfully and sincerely to you "I am Yuria of Londor, a close friend of his and thanks to thee, Yoel's soul is redeem'd." what does that mean? you thought sheathing your Blade "Allow me to express my gratitude, in his stead" she stood again walking to the wall and leaning against it casually " but another matter, Thou'rt a Lord, art thou not? Bearer of the dark Sigil, and our Lord of Hollows" you felt the back of your neck were the Sigil was branded during the Unleashing of your true power.

"yes I am the Carrier of the Dark Sign and Yoel called me a Lord" she pushed off the wall coming closely to you, at first you were hesitant but allowed her to get closer, she reached behind you touching your Dark Sigil, you noticed that she smelled of a tender Lavender "For the time thou remain'st our Lord, we of Londor shall serve thee" so they are serious I am their lord? "And I, of course, am also thine..."
"you are Mine?" she nodded pulling her hand away from your neck "I, as a Head of Londor are pledged to you, Our Lord and Liege" so yet another is sworn to my service? perhaps I could try and Press my luck with this Lady also.

the only problem you had was the mask, her Mask covered her entire face and you wished to know what she looked like, "very well, as your Lord I ask that you remove your mask" Yuria Sighed in a sad tone "Is there a Problem?" she began to run her knuckle "no of course not my Lord, but a Leader of the Sable Church I am only allowed to reveal mine face to my Beloved..."
"do you have a Be'loved?" Yuria shook her head "But it is not my wish to break'th the rule of the Church..." if you were gonna see her face then you would have to work for it but the question was, how would you get her to do it?
