"Very well." Marcello nodded. He turned into the church, he opened the tall thick wooden door, he pushed it and it creaked open slowly. Marcello walked in, his duster trailing behind him.

Lila took a picture of Marcello as he lead them inside the church. "Thanks for having us." She said, as she followed him inside. She glanced behind her at Ralph and the couple. She wanted more pictures of them, they were all quite pretty. She quickly snapped a picture of the church doors. "Uhm...what are we going to do in here?" She asked, looking around.

Ralph shrugged, though he knew the question had not been directed at him. "I'd assume that we're going to discuss politely rather than fight pointlessly." He said, crossing his arms. "Like civilized people. We could all learn something from humans, you know. They're not savages, like we are."

Vix looked into the chapel then scowled and turned to Ralph. "What can we learn from humans? It's humans who are the monsters here. They ruined peoples lives just to suit their own needs." She had a great hatred of humans because she blamed her own creation and her parents own death on them. As flashbacks of the past swept over her Vix suddenly lost her balance and collapsed asleep in Klan's arms and he picked her up carrying her into the chapel.

Ralph gritted his teeth so hard it was audible. There was something in the way he had been engineered that required relentless loyalty from him, and he wasn't supposed to respect - or even stay NEAR - those who didn't express feelings like he did. His fingers twitched, craving to unsheathe his sword and attack, but he held back the want. People were allowed different opinions, he tried to reason with himself. Quickly he walked past Klan and that d**ned girl, roughly bumping shoulders with the boy, whispering to him as he passed, something about him different already. Hearing someone badmouth humans, and not doing much about it, that would screw with him more than anything. "Keep your little tramp shut up," he growled angrily as he passed the boy. "Or else I'll cut her vocal chords, if she says nonsense like that again."

"Don't fight," Marcello sighed "Or so help me I'll turn this graveyard around." He waited until everyone had walked in, he turned to the outside and Let loose a thick hazy fog around the churchyard, making it impossible to see. He then walked in, letting the door close behind him. "Teas?" He offered politely to his guests.

Klan grabbed the Collar of Ralphs shirt in the blink of an eye and pinned him against the wall with Vix floating midair where he'd left her behind him, his face showed a great rage which was probably more frightening when you thought of the fact he never seemed to show any emotion, and a large killing intent seemed to be coming from him, he was definitely someone who had killed many people before and with no mercy. "I'd watch your tongue, I don't care if you sympathize with humans, but if you are going to make comments about other peoples opinions like that then I wish you'd learn the facts first." his hand seemed to be glowing slightly, this was not a Shiine trait, it was a trait only the Urk had, but most people wouldn't have known this as the Urk kept themselves hidden. "Vix detests her own birth, the moment she was born she killed her parents and the whole neighborhood in seconds. It's not that she hates humans, but she blames them for her own creation." Suddenly Klan dropped Ralph and turned away glancing only once back at him with a threatening glare before returning to holding the mysteriously floating Vixen.

Ralph laughed. This was unlike him for many reasons; first, he generally didn't laugh, and second, he usually showed compassion when it came to those younger than him. He'd admit, if he ever got the chance, that he didn't like himself at that moment. Slowly his fingers wrapped around the hilt of his sword, but didn't unsheathe it. "She blames others for what she, herself, did." He snarled, looking down at the boy in utter disdain. "She killed innocent people, even if she didn't mean to. That doesn't mean that innocent people are at fault. If it were up to me," he paused, gritting his teeth, "which it is unfortunately not, she would have been put to death before she could hurt anyone else."

"I know it is not right to blame other people, but neither is it right to blame her. She was born knowing nothing, she didn't ask to be born as a Normal." Klan said placing Vix down on the bench and removing his jacket he placed it over her like a blanket. "I'm not saying it's right for her to hate all mankind, but for her own sanity it is best that she does not blame herself, it is hard enough that she detests herself, if hating humans will help her bring a little peace then I wont stop her." Klan stood up straight and then stared at Ralph, "However, humans are not completely blameless in this matter. Who was it that created the normals? who was it that made her be this creature who can't even control her own power? They made her not only as a danger to those around her but also herself. I do not hate humans, but I cannot agree with your scientists methods." there was a hint of frustration in his voice when he talked about the scientists. "But not only do they prey on children, they also pray on the dead. It's unforgivable." There was some deep meaning which seemed to be in his words and it didn't seem that he was talking about Vix any more but more about something from his own past which triggered bad memories.

Ralph stood up a little straighter, starting to feel like he was malfunctioning - even if that was impossible for a living being. "It's not the fault of the Human race that she can't control her own Gifts," he said, letting go of the hilt of his sword again. Out of the corner of his eye, he had seen the boy cover the girl with his jacket, and it warmed him up just a little. "Besides.." He sighed gently, biting his lower lip. "I was created as a Normal aswell. Different from the majority of them, i suppose, as I was never born of two living beings. Maybe I wanted to be something different. Hell, maybe I wanted to be a Shiine." Now this was strange. Ralph never spoke of such things, to anyone, even is closest allies, but there was a strong bite of cruelty in his voice as he spoke again. "If one of their creations, such as that girl, fails so, they should have put her down, like a sick animal."

"Oh, a Shiine? You really want to be a Shiine?" Klan laughed for the first time, but it wasn't because he found it funny. "You innocent child, the Shiine is not anything anyone should want to be." He sat down next to Vix and sighed. "If you're so protective of humans, you could never be a Shiine. After all, their aim is the total destruction of everything other than themselves. And yes that also means those Normals who turn to their side." He shot his eyes around suddenly at Ralph and scowled. "I'll just inform you Normal, the Shiine are nothing to be idolized."

Ralph shook his head, sighing at the mistake. "I would NEVER want to be a Shiine." He growled, obviously offended by the very thought. "That was an example. I've killed so many of the bastards, if I ever became one I'd have to kill myself." He wasn't joking, not even to himself. His voice started coming out smooth and cold, his bandage-clad arms folded across his chest. "I've killed the Normals that work for them, aswell. I've killed normals, and even Urks that have laid any hands on a Human." He slowly looked over at Vixen, saying things that he, deep inside, would hate himself for saying. "Even infants that have."

"Oh, so you have heard of my blood clan." Klan said with a sneer. "There aren't many who know about the Urk's, I'm impressed you ever even met one." he raised his hand and it glowed white again. "However, I suppose I'm not even an Urk any more." he said talking to himself. "No one side is better than the other, the Urk seek to destroy the Shiine and yet there are those who share many of the opinions of the Shiine, the Shiine seek to destroy mankind yet there are those who would rather live peacefully. There are normals who hate humans, and those who adore and protect them. Even among the Shanay there are very few who are truely neutral. I suppose this is a war where noone can survive without taking a side. But, there are still things neither side should ever do." He stared at a large scar which blemished the back of his seemingly perfect hand, as he raised the hand higher his sleeve slipped revealing a series of scars and the remains of a tatoo that had been burned so badly that it was now impossible to tell what it originally was.

Ralph gritted his teeth, having a hard time dealing with being around Klan any longer. He didn't like the thought of other opinions, of others believing that humans weren't entirely great as he thought they were. The very thought made him shiver, but not in hate - in fear. He didn't want to know what was right and what was wrong, he just wanted to know what he knew, what he had been created to believe. "I don't want to see your battlescars, kid." He snarled, turning and heading almost immediately for the exit. "If I gave a shit, I would have asked." There was something behind what he was saying, that he didn't even know was there. A side of Ralph that he, nor those who had created him, knew about. A side that really did care, that wanted to know all about these people, that wanted to share his own stories and comfort his companions woes. Even if this side tries pushing up to escape, Ralph would never let it. "Humans can't do any wrong. If they've harmed you, you deserved it."

"It wasn't the humans who did this." Klan said seemingly unphased by Ralph's words. "No, this was done by my clan when I tried to protect humans." He pointed at the burnt off Tattoo on his arm. "This Tattoo was once a symbol of the Urk Clan. Well, more specifically the Tattoo I had was a symbol of a prison guard...A prison, that's what they called it. But it was more of a slaughter house if you ask me. Not everything in this war is pretty, Normal. The Urk, the Shiine and even the Humans. They all take prisoners, but have you ever seen what happens to those prisoners after they are captured? Most people in this war would rather be killed than captured by the other side, and that's especially captured by the humans. Do you know why?" He breathed and looked up at the sky. "To humans we creatures of the night are not alive, however we are of scientific interest. I suppose it doesn't take much imagination to realize what that means."
