"What the heck are life fibers?" Kei muttered to herself, putting the book away. She sighed, and walked out of the library, limbering up the joints in her arms. "When was I supposed to meet with Hades again?" She spoke, lost in thought as she pawed at her left cheek with one pale hand.

It didn't take Xavier long to arrive. Like Wren, he was armed, both of his blades sheathed on his back. When he saw her, he smiled wolfishly. He was going to enjoy this. "Liruliniel." He spat, the name feeling like ash on his tongue. He refused to call her Wren, that name had positive emotions linked to it, ones that would muddy the waters. "I have to give you credit, you have them all fooled. And me as well. But now my eyes are open." He said looking at her sword. "I did my homework this week. I know what you are, your true nature, the things you've done. The Dreadnaught, it's a catchy moniker." Xavier said, unsheathing both his blades. "And now that I know the truth, it is clear what I have to do."

"Did you?" Wren raised an eyebrow. "That's good. I'm glad you chose at least one intelligent option," she lifted her hand. However, instead of her scythe being drawn, she lifted a sheathed blade before drawing it slowly. It was engraved with a Valkyrian symbol - the blade of the Valkyrie, Liruliniel.

"Tell me one thing, Xavier: why did you choose to accept my request for a fight?"

Rose wasn't in the best of moods, and honestly, didn't want to be around anyone with the exception of Kari, and Wren. She had began to enjoy having Wren around as opposed to seeing her as a threat in the past. She also enjoyed shopping with her in the mall, before everything went down. She just knew that in the end, she could only rely on Kari. Xavier had left, and from what Don had told her, the woman she met was his ex. Did he not have the guts to at least break up with her before leaving with his ex? It was obvious that Xavier wasn't here and his ex wasn't there. She put two and two together. She was severely hurt.

"Was I an idiot, Kari?" she asked as she looked to her sister. Kari shook her head and smiled.

"No, sister," she replied softly, "I mean, what if it isn't what it seems? What if something bad happened and Xavier left so it wouldn't hurt you? Did you ever stop to think that he may have been protecting you?" of course, she knew from her visions that this was false, but she wanted her sister to smile again.

"Maybe, but I don't know anymore," she trailed off, "I'm just trying to brace myself for the worst, really."

Xavier smirked. "You sold me and Don out." He said bluntly. "Honestly I feel worse for him about that. He's too blinded by misplaced affection for you to see it... and well if he finds out the truth about you it would break him..." He stopped, figuring he shouldn't go further down that road, it was distracting. "Plus your past crimes against my people. Well half my people. Not exactly something that can be forgiven." He added as he slowly stepped towards Wren, in a combat stance. It was clear that he was out for blood.

Will grabbed the first book he could grab, which was dark leather bound and had what appeared to have a few bloodstains on it, he started flipping through pages...
"Well this is special..." He thought aloud. Apparently it was journal belonging to some Vampire. He could only surmise based the various bloodstains and the ruined nature of the last few pages that he was killed as he was making his last entry.

Almost appauled by the writer's various deeds the journal boasted, he put it back on the shelf with a rather annoyed expression.

"Why is it the first book i grab turns out to be a journal of a vampire serial killer..." He thought aloud.

"Good to know..." Wren nodded. She stepped forward, before bringing up the blade. It began to glow with energy, before she sent it downward. A wave of bright, intense energy erupted from it, rocketing at Xavier. It was larger than any previous display of power she'd ever shown to them, and for good reason - she was actively using her power.

Xavier noticed the massive surge and grinned. It appeared that Wren had held back in their presence. Made sense given her status as the rat, wouldn't want to give away all her tricks. Xavier planted his feet, crossing both of his blades in front of him to defend himself. The wave crashed home, driving him back a few inches. But his blades held and he leaped up into the air. Twirling his rapier, he sent a beam of ice down at Wren.

Upon hearing Wren's words Don bacame immediately concerned, remembering what Xavier had said while they were captured and knowing that if the two were going to meet it would probably lead to a fight. He looked at a still gawking Ken before pulling him by the neck of his collar.

'Hey what's going on!?" Ken exclaimed as he was dragged out.

"I need you to follow after Wren, you can do that...jumping thing or whatever right?"

"Instant movement? yeah...why do you want to follow Wren though?" Ken asked, still confused about Don's sudden change in demeanor.

"Just take me, I can still feel a bit of her presence but she's getting far."

***

After that Don had Ken follow after Wren, with the young vampire carring him on his back as he jumped around from building to building, taking leaps and appearing in different spots. This of course tired Ken out but the two were eventually to reach the spot Wren and Xavier were meeting at. However, when they finally got there the two had already met. "This is bad," Don bit his lip in frustration, opting ot hide for the moment as Ken tried to recover and panted heavily.

"Are...they...gonna fight?" Ken asked weakly.

Wren dodged out of the way swiftly, almost unseen as almost skated across the battlefield. Turning on her heel, she launched into the sky, pointing her blade forward at Xavier as she sped at him.

Xavier used his flames to propel himself forward to meet Wren. His cavalry saber met her blade with a massive clang, the force of the collision propelling him backwards as he threw more ice at Wren with his rapier.

"Shouldn't we stop them if anything?" Ken asked curiously as he saw the two of them fight.

"And what do you think will happen if we do that?" Don asked.

"I don't know...I was just dragged here," Ken shrugged, crossing his arms.

Wren used her wings to keep herself from flying back, maneuvering around Xavier's ice in a spinning motion as she sent circular waves of matter energy at the Nephalem.

It was at this point that Xavier realized that he'd need access to his wings. Which meant using his trigger. Growling, he did so. He was surrounded by a red and black aura that blew out in a sphere, knocking Wren's attack away. When the light faded, Xavier had grown a pair of red, silver and black wings. His facial features had sharpened, his eyes turning red, black and purple. His hair was now white. A demonic snarl crossed his face. "Now the fun can begin." He quipped, dashing forward and slashing at her wildly with both his blades.

Wren's eyes widened a bit when Xavier's trigger came out, barely blocking the onslaught with her blade. She received a few lacerations on her arms, falling back to gain some distance. "So that's what you've been hiding," she stood up, pointing her blade at the male.

"You're not the only one with secrets." Xavier hissed before charging again. In this form, he wasn't one for tactics. His mother hadn't been able to train him on that part. So it was all about offense, charging and trying to overpower with brute force.

Xavier charging was just what Wren was waiting for. She spun her blade in her hand, throwing it into the air before holding out her hands. Channeling kinetic force into her palms, let Xavier collide with her energy field before reversing his vector on him, unleashing a force toward him that was equal to his current strength. It was a move she used when faced against an enemy of greater physical strength - using their own momentum and strength against them.

Josiel raised an eyebrow. "That could be a number of things. Sickness, fatigue, embarrassment. Any combination of the three. Are you sick at all?"

"N0...it happened when I heard Emmanuel's voice..." Alexis spoke nervously as her cheeks grew a deeper hue of pink as she looked to Josiel, "Is he making me sick or something?"

------------------------------------

While Kari was comforting Rose, she had a desire to be away from the other vampriss. She began trying to see if she could get a hold of Marcus or Oscar.

"Hey, you guys, it's Kari. Sis is going angsty and I need a way out of this. Please help."

The effect on Xavier was instant. He threw himself straight into the force and was thrown back. He roared, not being able to understand what was happening. He charged again with even more of a reckless abandon.

Josiel blinked. Then, she smiled widely. "That's adorable," she looked to the kitchen before looking back to Alexis. "Hun, you're definitely sick. Lovesick. And that's a beautiful thing."

--

It was silent for a moment before Oscar spoke. "Get your asses on it and fix that statue!! ... I'm sorry. What was that again, Kari?" There was clear irritation in his voice despite him trying to push it back.

--

Wren used her blade to block the attacks, allowing them to hit her, but reflecting the damage back each time they hit. She wasn't actively trying to attack. She didn't want to. She couldn't bring herself to.
