Xanatos Gambit (0.6.2c) (Nefertiti)

 The van ride was short and Reginald's guards efficient. When she took off her blindfold, she was inside of Reginald's lair and the guards had vanished. "Now, I understand that you'd like to learn more about Blood Magic. Would you care to learn from me?"

Xanatos Gambit (0.6.2c) (Nefertiti)

Nefertiti knew the routine and she allowed them to place the blindfold upon her but she really never understood why.  If one was smart enough they could easily determine by the timing and familiar sounds they could hear.  Also allowing their body to be more sensitive and determine when a left or right turn is being made.

The only thing at this moment she could really think about is that Milo needed to get out of this alive.

She listened to what Reginald had to say and she was pleased to know that he wasn't going to be killed ever so quickly.  Also taking noticed that even Reginald called Dracula his father and not Sire.  Another mystery that she will need to investigate.

A soft smile crossed her lovely face when mentioning how dangerous if pressed Milo can be.  More things for her to uncover.

Nefertiti smiled to Reginald when offered to teach her about Blood Magic "Are you flirting with me Reginald? she asked in jest.  "I do wish to know more about his thing called Blood Magic.  Are you skilled in this matter?  Or will I be meeting an associate of yours? the smile never left her face as she spoke to him.

 Reginald chuckled when asked if he was flirting with her. "Perhaps."

 He led her into a sterile smelling room with  blobs of flesh piled upon the cabinets and skeletons assembled on surgical beds. They were the wolves she had seen Milo wear like a coat. "I think you will find that I am quite skilled in blood magic... and I think you will find what I have to teach you to be most... beneficial."

Nefertiti smiled to Reginald when replying back to his flirting.  It has been centuries since she even thought about a man like that.  But she couldn't resist the chance to enjoy a bit of foreplay.

"Is this the kind of Blood Sorcery you used on my timid frame those few days ago? she replied as she looked at the corpses and wondered how was he even able to preform such a dangerous feat.  Yes it was all exciting and very interesting.  Something surely that she would like to learn.

 Reginald nodded. "It is, though the process for this is a bit different. Milo knows these techniques too, but I doubt he would ever teach you."

 Reginald opened one of the men up and rolled him out on an empty table. You could hear the raspy breathing of a still living creature coming from it. He then placed a finger over each eye and spoke a single word in a commanding tone. "Sleep."

 The eyes closed and he began transferring bones from the table nearby into the body, filling the skin suit back up with each bone placed. "These techniques are somewhat more advanced than the fundamentals. One first learns to shape flesh then bone. Reconstruction and alteration comes later. What I am doing is complete restoration. Nervous systems must be restored properly in these kinds of situations or the individual you wish to restore will not be able to function properly."

 Within an hour, he had restored one of the werewolves that had chased you to Victor's tower. Within two hours, he had restored all three and they slept upon the slabs he had placed them on.

Nefertiti looked at Reginald for a moment as her thoughts ran wild.

Milo knew how to heal my body but never offered or did.  What a wonderful way to start an adopted Sire bond her thought were a bit private but her facial expression couldn't hide the thought.

"You have been so kind and generous to me Reginald.  If only you was around when I was transformed into this being and had you as a Sire. she smiled to him as she spoke.

Nefertiti moved behind Reginald's every step to learn this procedure.  It was truly fascinating.

"What do you call this sort of Blood Magic? she asked as she allowed every moment to be drilled into her memory.  "Restoration? she softly said.

"Bringing the dead back to life? escaped her lips.  "Oh my, Osiris wouldn't be so pleased to know that I discovered this priceless skill. she had a hard time understanding this wasn't the same timeline that she was born in.  If Osiris even still exist.

 Reginald gave Nefertiti a small nod and a slight smile. "Well, it's not too late for that either. I would be more than happy to serve as your Sire if that is your wish."

 When pressed for the name of this blood magic, he offered. "This is called the Path of Flesh. It allows anything from minor changes to the complete reconstruction of a body. As long as the target is not fully dead, they can be restored from any state. If they are dead, then one need only be a little creative to make use of them in other ways."

Nefertiti giggled slightly when Reginald mentioned "your wish "Let's not be a bit hastily in using my wish now.  I am still owed one but still haven't determined how it shall be used. she watched as the others were brought back to life slowly but effective.

"Were they not dead after the battle with Milo? she asked.

"You as my teacher is a great boon for myself.  I do wonder what will be your payment for such a blessing? she said as she looked him up and down.

Taking a moment to study the bodies as they lay there and sleep.

"Are they able to hear me while they are sleeping?

 Reginald chuckled. "Well, we wouldn't want to waste that, now would we? Then perhaps it would be better to say that (I could serve as your Sire) if it was your desire?"


 "No. I imagine he had contrived to interrogate them so he left them alive. It was a small matter, then, to retrieve and restore them. Hopefully they weren't too traumatized by it all."

 When asked about payment, he shook his head. "Do I seem like Victor or the Camarilla to you? Their entire society is based off of payment and favors. The Sabbat operate differently. You came to me needing flesh and I provided. You wish to learn and I can provide that too."

 He made a flourish with his hand and smiled. "All I ask in return is that you pay that generosity forward when you are able. Those in the Sabbat help one another."

 When asked about the bodies, Reginald shook his head. "No. They are sleeping deeply and will not wake yet for several hours, better to give the magic time to set."

Xanatos Gambit (0.6.2c) (Nefertiti)

Nefertiti giggled at the thought of wasting a Wish.  So far she has another one on hold by Talion.  That is if his face ever reemerge into the world.

"Oh that word Desires.  That is so sweet of you Reginald.  I will keep that in mind cause so far I have no idea what else you are able to teach a newly Kindred. she ponders for a moment "I have no idea what all any Kindred is capable of doing.  I have just became one less than a month.  Oh that bitch Carmilla has taken away from me what I once was and I'm now learning how to adapt to my newly transformation.

Her face slightly contorts in the mentioning of Victor.

If it was him who got the stake in the heart, she would of gladly let him lay there till the sun washed over his body.  Her desire to repay him for what he did will be done one way or another.

"Yes, but I owe Victor a Favor. she smiled
"He is weak and needs to be replaced.  Allowing Carmilla to threaten him in calling a Blood Hunt upon me.  ME who at the time wasn't part of their vampire world.

Victor.. that bastard allowed this to happen to me because of his weakness.

What ever it was that Carmilla had over him, I will make sure I have something ten times worse.
she smiled.

Stepping closer to Reginald "I just might have found something even worse than Carmilla her eyes looking him up and down again with a malicious smile.

 Reginald nodded. "Indeed you have. The Prince's crown is hollow, his power formed on allegiances forged by Milo. You asked what I can teach a newly made Kindred? I will show you the only power worth having.

 I abducted Milo in the shadow of the Prince's throne for a reason. Without Milo to hold things together, the very mention of my name will cause the Camarilla Elders to tear one another apart.

 Then, in the middle of the civil war, there will come a time when Victor will be alone. If you join me, then I will let you be the one to tear out his heart.

 Then, once the Sabbat have overthrown the Camarilla, we will return to the Crone's Coven and see if you and I together can restore what was taken from you. What do you say? Do you want to return to being a god among mortals?"

Nefertiti smiled to Reginald as she listened to his words.

"How does one such as us grow in Power? she asked.  You seemed to be very powerful indeed. allowing her eyes to scan over the sleeping servants.

"That alone was beyond anything I have ever witnessed.  Milo hasn't shown me a thing and here you offer all that you have without a favor.  You are truly a master of you kind.


When he mentioned about Elders she didn't know what he meant so she asked. Once he was ever so kind in explaining what an Elder is she smiled "I want to tear a few apart as well. 

Her hand raised when mentioning the Crone "I want nothing to do with that.

I want to have my own place of worshipers so that I may bask in the glory of escaping her claws.
  a sparkle in her eyes shined ever so much when the thought crossed her mind.

She was already a Divine being, just needs to grow a bit stronger.

 "For Kindred, Knowledge is power. Knowing the Blood lets us use it. Knowing a person lets us use them. Knowledge of anything grants you power, so learn all that you can."

 He listened to Nefertiti speak and nodded silently before heading to a cupboard and pulling out a small wine glass. "You want to gather worshippers and become a goddess by your own hand? Then let me show you a different kind of magic."

 He placed a finger on his palm, producing a small cut which emptied a small volume of blood into the glass. "Kindred blood possesses the power to instill those types of emotions in humans. We call it the 'Viniculum'. With it, you will be able to grant your followers a small fraction of your power as well. The effects last only a few days so you'll need to reinforce it regularly but this is the easiest way to begin that journey."

 He offered the glass to her. "But don't just take my word for it. Sample it for yourself, learn firsthand what it feels like, otherwise you won't be able to understand your followers' motives or lead them properly."
