There seems to be a lot of things that Milo has to offer in telling her but in time she will wait for when he wishes to share them with her.  In the mean time she will be looking into finding others that claim to be of his bloodline.  Then again, she will have to search for any others that claim to be of hers.  She knows only of one so far, Alfred.

Moving back inside with Markus she watched as Milo moved to a new location and Markus joining him.  She looked down at the seat for a moment before taking the offered seat, she didn't know if it was something she should rush to do or be as she is a Queen and take a moment.

"I would like to find a Haven that is suitable for my needs. she said "But I don't know what all I have to offer in return.

 He raised an eyebrow and shot a glance at Milo. Milo nodded ever-so-slightly and Wallace returned his gaze to Nefertiti. "How refreshing to hear someone be so blunt.

 Very well then. I'll make a deal with you. I'll offer you this apartment in exchange for a favor."

Nefertiti looked around the place and wondered what was it all like, she did like the fact that it had a balcony and she could enjoy the night and city to watch from its location.

Looking back at her adopted Sire with a smile as this was what he meant by favors.  Giving her attention back to Wallace "I accept. she replied.

Her mind raced as to wonder what kind of favor he would ask for but seeing that he was an associate of Milo she hoped it wouldn't be something too dangerous.

Nefertiti had no idea where it was located or was there any people in the area that was around.  Taking a moment to think was the building in good shape and not damaged much from the Storm.

 Wallace nodded politely and stood. "Right then. I'll get the paperwork filled out and I'll have it sent to Milo. By then I'm certain that he'll have you set up with an identity so that you can fill them out."

 He motioned for Markus and the two made to leave without actually asking Nefertiti to do anything. Milo likewise stood and beckoned you to come with. Wallace locked the door behind everyone and Milo led you once more to the limo. Once you two were alone, he smiled at you. "Well done. So, do you have any questions?"

Nefertiti followed Milo into the limo without a word as they moved in silence till they were inside.  It seemed that she handled the first meeting with some Kindreds well but his question allowed many of things to come to mind but she knew that she had time to ask others later.

"What is this area called? she asked as she looked out the window to estimate the structure and to see if there was any life around here.  Has this area been fixed by the synthetics that were moving through the city to fix things.

What would be her next encounter with Kindreds she thought for a moment.

"It seems that I have already got some sort of reputation within the Kindred society, from what Markus explained. she looked to Milo "Is this going to cause any problems later on?

 "This place is called 'White Plains'. It used to be a town of its own but New York consumed it years ago."

 When asked about her reputation, he chuckled. "Most likely, but that's what I'm here for. If you can prove that this was all a misunderstanding, then you can build a good foundation to work off of... and the only way to do that is by being consistent in your behavior and being conscious of how others will view your actions.

 Now, out next order of business is to get you set up with a new identity. You won't be able to make any major purchases without one and a resurrected queen from thousands of years ago will rouse far too much suspicion... so, we're heading back to my haven for now."

Nefertiti nodded her head "It seems that this New York is very large.  I do miss my homeland. she said as she slowly dreamed of its beauty.

"What am I to do with any members of the Circle of Crones?  Surely Carmilla had told them something about me and if she don't appear then some might suspect that I had something in her disappearance. her thoughts ran as she wondered what all might transpire from that.

"Will I be able to keep my name? she looked at him in a bit of shock that she would have to change her identity. Who would she become.

 "Yes, it's quite large. However, you might not have quite so much trouble with the Circle as you think. They've lost their matriarch... a Kindred who was likely walking the earth when you were mortal... and that power vacuum will need to be filled. Depending on who it is, you may very well end up with a friendly relationship with them. That said, there is an equal possibility that they may try to feud with you.

 If they try, do NOT escalate. Otherwise, things will end poorly for you."

 He indicated Nefertiti's skeletal form. "Only escalate a situation with another Kindred if you both have the resources to spend and are willing to expend them. I cannot stress that enough.

 Now, as for your identity, I believe I can manage to let you keep your name... but you will need to identify yourself as something other than an ancient god-queen. Living for thousands of years is the hallmark of a Kindred but drawing attention to it is a breach of the Masquerade.

 Instead, you'll have a new last name and a new backstory. Just stick to it and you'll get a Social Security Number, which you'll need to make any number of valuable purchases."

Nefertiti was surprised to hear that Carmilla was that old, older than she was would make her very very powerful and if she followed the ways of Isis back then then she would of known a bit more of Nefertiti's history.  But then again she could of been living in a different part of the world all together.

"I do hope to make peace with them and their new matriarch.  There are still things I wished to learn from them and Carmilla made sure I didn't get any help from them. she replied.

Hearing that she would be able to keep her name brought a smile to her face.

"I was a Lector Priestess in my mortal life and I was good at healing those that were sick by my skills and power of healing.  Maybe I can aid in a healing place. she added "Would it be frowned upon if I was to use my talent of healing on mortals or Kindreds to gain favors?

Nefertiti rode the rest of the way back to Milo's home in silence, her mind was racing as she was hoping that she was able to do something she been wanting to do for sometime.

It was odd but she bowed her head to Milo before excusing herself from his vision and heading to the room that was giving to her.  Along the way she made sure that she was able to find a book, any book that she could read some of it.

Once she was in her room she made sure to lock the door and she even went to clean herself up some before she preformed a ritual summoning.....

She opened the book and began to read some of the lines then she called out a name.

Sariel she said.  She only wished to have a conversation with him, for she didn't possess the raw Power to summon him without a price or without an Golden Apple for him to help cultivate it.

After speaking his name she waited to see if he was to respond back to her.  If this summoning worked she would be pleased if not then she would have to try another time.

The memory of the party bubbled up. The moment she met Sariel took on a life of its own and occupied her mind like a half dream splitting her awareness. Sariel was there exactly as he was then. Seeing him but only in memory as he wasn't there for her eyes to see.

He placed his collapsed weapon on the wall in the memory. "Hello there."

Nefertiti looked at the weapon he placed upon the wall of her memory and wondered what was he doing at the time of her calling.

"Hello Sariel,  I hope I'm not disturbing something important.

I was wondering have you heard word of your mother yet?  It seems that I have done some changes within myself and was hoping that I can speak to her about gaining a station within the Divine a bit higher. she paused "Seeing that your world might be destroyed and the God you spoke about with the Golden Apples might be gone as well, if your world is no more.

"I am many enough to be here and to handle things just as important elsewhere."

"A few shards have heard a word of mother. To note, in our conversations never say the name of another god. That is a hard rule and if broken Ill vanish every time. I dislike it when they listen in."

"Our world is much harder to destroy than one may think. She is as much a person as she is a world. So long as one Ardianian lives so does she." His eyes twitched side to side as he went thumbing through memory. "You've already seen the apples. The orchard in the land of the dead. The dragon wouldn't fight so the owner kicked you all out."

"There once was a wizard name Sevrius, I put him on a scale between Talion and the strongest mages of the world. He put up a fit when asking me questions like this. So set this relationship right early, I don't give answers to problems, I set people on the road to solving the problems on their own. That is my nature and it's really hard to go outside of it. You want a god of knowledge if you want straight answers, not the one of evolution and transformation."

"So what is more important to you? Finding a way to get the golden apples? Honoring my mother and gaining her approval? Seeing a seat of divine power? I've already given you a direction on the apples. But what do you really want more than anything else?"

Nefertiti looked at Sariel and smiled for she knew already not to speak of another God or Goddess name, unless you wish to communicate with them.  She found this out the hard way as her former Goddess done.

Her eyes sparkled at the comment about the apples.

"I do not want to have you guide me but to speak, and with your wisdom.  Surely there will be a twist to your answers, but that is the greatness of all things.

Taking a moment to think on the question placed before her "I seek to Honor your mother and gain her Approval. she replied after her thoughts were clear.  She already had a bit of Divinity within herself and in time she would enhance its strength, but now she wanted to understand that of his mother and she would surely guide her in the right direction.  But of course, there will be a price to pay.

His last question was obvious, he knew what she really wanted ...like any other that has been stripped, degraded and weakened.... POWER

"Mother is the Stern Lady, The Ruby Queen of Magic. She does not second guess and does not quit. If it is her favor you wish to gain you must be without mercy. She was a woman in a pantheon held by titanic beings."

"She is at war with Necros because of my death. In my past and your future, he slays me, skins me alive, and then drags me into a furnace designs to give world souls their final rest."

"If you want her favor it will be hard won. She may just kill you outright. She did rule over necromancy back home after all."

"Do you accept the risk? Do you know what we are to begin with?"

Nefertiti remembers the name he called to her and she also remembered that she had control over Death as well as Magic.  But not the Undead, the Guardian.

She had lost her connection with her former Goddess, one should never stop looking for enlightenment just because one door was closed.  This is a way for her to learn more about a Realm that she had never heard of before till Sariel spoke of it.  Talion or Necros would not miss her much if she was to loose her connection with him.  She already tasted his blood and knew much of its power.

"I understand and this journey would be the next Chapter of my life, or my existence. she said as she thought of her next step.

She needed time to regrow her own skin and this time would grant her that and it would also help her further her own station in the Cosmos.

"I accept the risk.

Thinking and hoping that the Ruby Sorceress wouldn't kill her outright for seeking her out.

"The real path to power is not in knowing what people are after but what they want. The prince of the city wants what is best for his people and not to settle scores, Talion wants to protect and learn and not to rule, your foe wanted exactly what you want truly and not to sate her pride."

"What is it that my mother wants truly?" He smiled as he wasn't going to give her the answer outright but knew she was smart enough to get it.

"She wants to protect her children. she paused.

If what you tell me is so, her anger toward Necros for killing you would be something I would want to shield her from.  Prevent if possible, but that would require a great amount of Time Arcana to achieve. placing a finger to her lower lip as she ponders "Would she want to spread her Domain into a new Realm.  So that she could change the past she thought but her words were spoken instead of a thought.

Sariel smiled, "Well as a time traveler myself, I cannot encourage trying to alter the flow of time. If you go back, you change things so you never go back in the first place, or if you go forward you go to a time that you never existed in beyond when you started to travel."

"Time travel is a hard bust."

"You could start small and provide her a token. Right now my core is nailed to the world tree going through a process. And my mother would kill you if you told her I was alive now without some kind of token. As a memory I cant make anything for you, but if you recall there are some of my threads around the portal at Sal's place."

"But should the worst happen, I could always use more priests."

Her eyes slightly flared at the sound of Sal's name.  It hasn't been a few days when she recalled his betrayal. Nodding her head she had a way of getting to Sal's house to find any of his threads around the portal.

Nefertiti's gave him a smile at the offer of becoming one of his Priestess. "Thank you for the suggestion. she replied but at the moment she didn't want to be a Priestess.  She wanted to gain her own at a later date.

Her mind raced to the thought of what she knew about the World Tree.

"Do be careful, they are on the defensive. Let me know if you need anything else. It will be interesting to watch you grow."

There was nothing else she needed at the moment from Sariel, for he has informed her of his mother being alive and if all goes right she will grow by her Divine intervention. It seemed now that Nefertiti was free from her leash no being was watching her or needing her to grow in Faith

“Your memory has been very helpful and I do hope that you are entertained by the show of my life .

Then she slowly closed her eyes and as she did that she also closed the book. There was no clue as to how to end the connection but it would be done.

Now she needed to find a way to get close to Sal’s home but the warning from Sariel did interest her some. Surely all would be on a defensive course after Carmilla’s death.

 Sariel took his leave when she chose to end the conversation. She had no knowledge of the World Tree he spoke of.

 Nefertiti had no way to get to Sal's place from here and she wasn't entirely sure where it was in relation to her current location. Milo had locked himself in a room when they'd gotten back and was working on her new identity. She had no real idea how long it would take him to do so.

OOC:  Did Milo answer her question in the limo, about her gaining favors for her Healing?


Nefertiti had no plans of going to Sal's house tonight, she was an immortal and time had little meaning to her at the moment.  She needed to discover more about herself.

Her body needed ten or more days to be fully healed back to itself and that was her main goal for now.  Regaining her body so that she may interact with others and if anyone was to assault her she wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

OOC: Yes and the answer was "no" because Kindred can heal their own wounds and healing mortals is a breach of the Masquerade.

 Milo returned after a small amount of time with a small plastic card with her picture on it and quite a few different numbers. "Here you go. This is your driver's license. You will need this for a great many things. Keep it on you at all times. Your new name is 'Nefertiti Al-Mashat'. You are now a new migrant from Egypt, a recently legalized citizen."
