The two made their way west, away from the docks and across the wall that curved around to behind the palace. They saw the desolate city well from their view. Buildings were burnt down, some were collapsed, others looked like they were caught in barrages of gunfire.

"Save the sarcasm, Dracula." Arianna muttered, standing straight as Felix entered the throne room. She motioned for Isaac to back off, as several ideas flowed through her mind - why did Felix bother to reveal himself now? And where was the armada of zombies, which had surely been banging at the door. "...This has "trap" written all over it. Unless, you want to get this over with quickly?" Arianna circled around Felix, the blood upon her boot creating a trail around the man. In truth, she was terrified - but confident in her ability. But if he targeted Isaac, well..

"So hasty Ari!" Felix said as he walked ahead into the room, despite Ari circling him. He walked past Isaac and towards the bloodied corpse on the ground. "Good God, you are a vicious one aren't you? I suppose this is wasn't the result of your shell of a brother was it?" Felix asked Arianna while simultaneously criticizing Isaac.

"Isaac tried choking her. I tried killing her. I suppose that there's a difference, hmm? So why haven't you sent in a horde of zombies yet? You're not here to chat, are you?" Arianna questioned with a somewhat sadistic smirk, a blood red glimmer glowing briefly in her eyes before fading away. There was something wrong with the young woman...something that Isaac had begun to notice.

Her assumption in calling the man "Dracula" might have been more on the nose then she expected. "What? Of course I am here to talk!" He told her to Ari's surprise. "In fact, I am here with a...proposal, of sorts. See, the events that happened here are similar to what happened on the central isle, and then the northern isle of Ragnarok. So, my petty little idiots, I will not kill you here. Oh, no. I want to see what you can TRULY do first." Felix explained.

"...So you got your ass kicked on Ragnarok [i]and[/i] the central Isle? And now you're here to get your ass kicked again? Alright, alright." Arianna, if anything, was trying to get on Felix's nerves, turning his comments right back at him. She had a knack for pissing people off, something that Irina was quite good at as well.

"If me getting my "ass kicked" consists of me enslaving an entire continent with the undead and murdering it's inhabitants, then I suppose you are correct." Felix told the girl. To say the least, he shut her down quick. "No. See, I want to see what the two of your are capable of. A test of sorts. It's simply for my amusement I assure you, as well as some other... experimentations, on the side. You will go to the central isle, Vilebloods, and rid it of my forces. Or attempt to that is. You will repeat what you did here and then you can move onto Ragnarok. I do think you will die before then of course, but what do I know? I'm just the man holding your lives in his hands...." Felix told them this as he began to make his exit towards the door. He turned back as he reached the exit. "Also, if you try to leave, you may run into another terrible accident. We wouldn't want that to happen would we, children? Ta-ta." With that, Felix seemed to disappear into a plume of black smoke that dispersed immediately.

"...Great. What now, princess?" Isaac murmured through his pain, as he looked up at Arianna with a faint grin. Whereas she only returned her own smile, calm yet eerie, like the eye of a storm. "...We play his game, of course. Head to the isles, and prove that we're just as good as Felix. Make sense?" "...I guess. To the docks?" "...I suppose."
