Vampire Tavern
The shadow of the hawk floats swiftly downwards. The cobblestone walk way a few feet below quickly rose below the hawk when it suddenly changed as it slowed its beating wings. A man stepped from the place the bird once transformed. Quickly a servant stepped forward placing the a robe covering his naked body.
Behind it a wolf begins to change as it reaches the cobblestone another servant steps forward holding a robe and the Wolfen enters the Gateway with the robe on his back.
The panther, the raven, the porcupine all arrive each transforming as before they enter the gates. Three horse riders move rapidly towards the castle’s gates. One from the east, one the west and one the south. Arriving moments behind each other they dismount quickly and enter the gates as well.
A large shadow blocks out the sun as it swoops downwards, circling as it approaches the ground it’s green scales show clearly as the dragon sets two females on the walkway and then soars off towards the sun once more.
Breaking through the forest edges two large oxen move quickly caring two small men, they depart the back of the oxen. Their heavily armored bodies trudged slowly up the pathway and through the gate.
Inside the large hall the sounds of music fill the air, large long table run the edges of the room and a long table sits in the front. In the center the performers dance and sing. All the creatures who entered now sit around the tables awaiting The One. You can feel the uneasiness in the air, the heaviness of why they were called. Yet they smile and laugh trying to enjoy the sweetness of this moment. To once again see their brothers, friends, and a few enemies as well. They do not show fear, nor foolishness as they all feast and drink… as they wait.
The horns sound as The One enters the room, all lower their heads in respect. Their hearts gladdened that she has finally arrived. She moves with grave to her seat, at the head of the large table. The performers stay with their heads bowed, a smile crosses her face as she looks over the group. “Please enjoy my hospitality we will chat very soon.” With that she nodded to the performers and the music started once more the wine carriers started to refill the goblets.
The performers slow and make their way out the door, the food is quickly cleared the wine glasses are refilled once again as the servants move out the door, the sound of the large doors close. The locks move into place as the mood changes from merriment to the seriousness of what is taking place.
Slow The One rises from her seat her voice trying to sound serious yet hopeful. “My friends we have gathered this night I am hoping to unite once more. To stand together to accomplish something so grand so perfect that it will last for generations. Man, has forgotten that once we all walked this earth. We all were once friends, we lifted each in times of pain. Now any that are different any that have the gifts are now considered evil.” A soft smile crosses her face… a light chuckle fills her words. “Not that some of you have not aided in their thinking.” But now they have refound the word of god, they call upon him only and only Through him can make magic. They have turned the words so that none can have the gift. That only their god can do what each of us knows is natural.”
Aurthur gone, his house now ending with the death of Cerdric, Our gods and godess's no longer held in regard. We are all play things of Satan according to their Pope.
Murmuring fills the air in agreement. She pauses as they speak softly to one another waiting for them to calm once again. As the lack of her voice fills the air quickly as it began the words fade. Once again her voice now a more serious tone fills the air.
Her eyes slowly meet each as she speaks. “Vampire, Druid, Changelings, Stragos, Dwarf, Elf and all other creatures. We must work together or fade into nothing. Giles and Raven searched far and wide. They have found an Island far from here, that with each of us working together we can create a home. A place that mortals will not know exists and that we can be what we are without having to battle simply to make it home.
I am asking each of you to send a group aboard the ship it, to aid them to build this place. Then we will each move our kind there. If is your choice of course to stay here, and to continue the feud against man but our time here is gone. It is time that we move on, to find a new home a new place where we can be and grow in peace……….

The ship slowly cut through the heavy rock, towards the island shore. A man leaped of the edge of the ship and soared as a hawk towards the island. “No patience” laughed Soerel as he watched the hawk fly off.
“Your just jealous, Elf. If you could do that you would as well” his fangs glistened as Victor spoke.
You could hear the voices of many as the boat docked all anxious to get off the ship and onto their new home. As they had circled the island many of the spells began to take place the Druids dropped stones in the water around the island. The Stragos, cast their spells of protection. The morphs spoke to the sharks, dolphins, whales, and other intelligent creatures to their jobs and tasks.
When they arrived on the island, all worked knowing that it would take the collective power to create what was needed. Each doing their part clouds began to roll in covering the islands. The spell reached out in a large triangle around their new home. Making it so that compasses and other devices failed. The sun was no longer direct so that none could guide by it and it would create a place that all creatures could roam at all times. Including the Vampires. It was shielded from man….
The ship was sent back to tell the families of those now here how to return and that it was done. The One was very pleased.
That was 1051AD, the island has grown, and many planes and ships have crashed into the island or lost their way there over the years. They have become part of the place never to leave. So that they would not pass on what existed in the triangle. The Town was been built, electricity all the connivances of civilation have been added over the 1000 years.
The spells have been adjusted to block radar, jam electronics, the island stays a mystery and so does the triangle. The groups have grown, some have found friendships some still hate one another. But one thing never changes that Vampire Tavern remains the place that all creatures come to find one another… our simply to have a drink…
