Daddy Thrax-An OJ RP (Chp 77)

Northstar: *wakes after an hour long nap and yawns*

Thrax: *slowly opens his eyes and smiles* Have a nice nap honey?

Northstar: *nods* mm hmm. *rubs her sleepy eyes*

Thrax: *taps her nose then sits up and stretches*

Northstar: *giggles sleepily as her nose is tapped

Thrax: *smiles at her* Looks like we both needed that.

Northstar: *holds her arms up to him*

Thrax: *scoops her up, cuddling her close*

Northstar: *snuggles up to him and smiles softly*

Thrax: *strokes her hair* Do you want to play outside?

Northstar: *nods* Uh huh!

Thrax: *sets her down and pats her head* Run along then.

Northstar: *kisses him on the cheek and goes outside*

Thrax: *starts cleaning up the place*

Northstar: *goes to play in the garden*

Thrax: *makes sure the place is clean and tidy*

*if he looks outside he can see a pair of red eyes watching*

Thrax: *finishes up and goes outside to the garden*

*the eyes, seemingly unseen to the youngster playing in the bushes, turn to Thrax*

Thrax: *sits on the deck chair and smiles as he watches Northstar playing then he suddenly bolts up when he hears something* Who's there?

*the shadows around Thrax begin to darken somewhat and NS pauses and tilts her head*

Thrax: *hisses, his body morphing slight into a demonic form* Show yourself.

*mist begins to gather and Northstar hops up on a nearby chair*

Thrax: *grabs her and holds her close, protectively*

*the shadows converge together to form one pale faced figure, red glowing eyes staring intently at Thrax as sharp fangs bare to him*

Thrax: *snarls, spires shooting out of his back as he roars*

Stranger: *lets out a low growl as he holds up a three clawed hand, fangs bared*

Northstar: *clings tightly to Thrax's coat*

Thrax: *snarls* Leave us.

Stranger: I think not. *looks to Northstar*

Thrax: *holds her close, backing off*

Stranger: Man'ya... shetus mentanos Talic vorhya? Evolution has changed me...

Northstar: *softly* Mis tari Talic?

Thrax: *looks down at her* Do you know him?

Stranger: I am Talic of Razielim... *pulls his cape aside to reveal a tattoo on his bare arm*

Northstar: *visibly relaxes and starts to approach him*

Thrax: Northstar don't go near.

Northstar: *after scenting at Talic for a little while glomps him in a big hug*Uncle Talic!

Talic: *strokes her hair and narrows his eyes at Thrax*

Northstar: *sees: *Nay nay! *points to Thrax and tugs on the vampire's cape before going back to Thrax and hugging his arm* Vas teno ada! He's my new daddy!

Talic: I see...

Thrax: *wraps his arms round her and lifts her up, snarling at the new comer.*

Talic: *approaches Thrax without fear*

Thrax: *jumps back, clutching his daughter. His fangs bared, his eyes glowing red and his dreads like whips*

Northstar: *lets out a slight yelp and clings to him*

Talic: *lets out a low growl but continues to approach him, scenting at him*

Thrax: *hisses and snarls at him* Back off. *keeps Northstar close, his muscles tighten, trying to keep hid distance*

Talic: *moves closer to him swiftly, like the predator he is*

Thrax: *snarls and snaps but doesn't dare attack with Northstar in his arms*

Talic: *takes hold of Thrax's arms and scents at him, making no more to harm them* hmm... Yes... You smell like she said. *straightens up and stands down*

Thrax: *still doesn't trust him and keeps his demonic form*

Northstar: *looking up at him* Who said?

Talic: Your mother.. *growling softly* The time of change chose a bad time to take hold....if it had not I would have taken from that household and invoked the right of mentanos... Your mother fortunately... had the power to protect you from the grave... *strokes her hair, ignoring Thrax's snarling*

Thrax: *hisses* Just who do you think you are? *swipes at him*

Talic: *takes hold of Thrax's wrist with his hand* Talic Razielim... I am her godfather chosen by her mother and well hated by her father....

Thrax: *looks down at Northstar*

Northstar: He's telling the truth daddy.

Talic: *let's go of Thrax's wrist* I've known for some time that she was no longer at home... her mother told me...

Thrax: And her mother entrusted her with me.

Talic: *his own eyes have stopped glowing revealing an amber that his kind all ;possess and he looks into Thrax's eyes, one of his hands moving to the Virus' cheek* Yes... I see her mark upon your forehead...

Thrax: *backs off, keeping Northstar close to him*

Talic: *chuckles, seeming amused* She's obviously thriving with you.... I won't take her.

Thrax: *narrows his eyes*

Talic: Oh don't look at me like that. I’ve known her longer than you.

Thrax: *snorts* Despite what you say how can I trust you?

Talic: Consult your daughter for that.

Thrax: *looks at Northstar* Think I can be able to?

Northstar: *nods her head smiling* He's my uncle Talic!

Thrax: *sighs and morphs back to normal*

Northstar: Can I go play now?

Thrax: *sets her down* Be careful, okay.

Northstar: *nods and kisses his cheek and hugs both of them before going to play*

Talic: *watches her* It's good to see her not flinch when someone she calls father moves to touch her..

Thrax: I don't wish to bring any harm to her. I only wish to protect her, to love her.

Talic: Good... Unfortunately I could not save her from her father while in the state of change...

Thrax: At least she's away from him and he ever comes for her. *flexes his killing claw* He's finished.

Talic: It's unfortunate that his blood would have struck me down if I drained him... *narrows his eyes* Unicorn blood kills when taken without consent.

Thrax: *looks at him with a raised brow* I know she has Unicorn blood through her mother but I thought her father was human or a demon from what she described.

Talic: No... Sadly he is a unicorn... a darkening one but a unicorn nonetheless... since his mate died he has been leaning toward the shadows more and more... he may become a democorn...

Thrax: *shakes his head* After I lost my family I went down the same path but I changed when Ozzy came into my life.

Talic: Ozzy? Your mate? *tilts his head*

Thrax: *laughs* No, my adopted son. Northstar's brother.

Talic: Hm? Oh... ah you're a Patranai aren’t you? I should have guessed.

Thrax: *chuckles* I am. Despite the fact that I lost my family decades before Ozzy helped me reclaim my parental instincts.

Talic: *nods* Patranai's are often created under similarly tragic circumstances to yours... That kind of healer is highly regarded among unicorns.

Thrax: *smiles* It has healed me.

Talic: It surprises me you seem to know what a patranai is.

Thrax: *chuckles* I may not have a college degree but my mother taught me well.

Talic: *nods* What matters is the home she is in. I would like to meet her new brother as well... how old is he?

Thrax: *smirks* 25 but he's just a big kid.

Talic: *chuckles* I wonder how she's taking to being the baby... she and her twin were first born..

Thrax: *looks at him* Twin?

Talic: Mysteria.... *softly* She perished with her mother in the rockslide...

Thrax: *hangs his head* I never knew but then again she wouldn't say a thing.

Talic: It's a painful subject and her father never truly allowed her to mourn... Do you recall when I spoke of democorns?

Thrax: *nods* yes.

Talic: It was one such creature that killed her mother and twin... he was trying to kill Northstar as well but Skylight protected her children.

Thrax: *sighs* Makes me wish I had protected my family harder.

Talic: No one can be perfect... some things are unavoidable... I myself arrived too late to save her or Mysteria... and I had to work hard to save her brother...

Thrax: *wide eyed* Is there more you're not telling me.

Talic: well.. there are currently no children in the custody of Alaric.... and I'm not sure if you'd consider it related but I was the one whom acted as midwife for Northstar and Mysteria.

Thrax: *shakes his head* It doesn't matter as long as you help deliver the child or children safely.

Talic: *warm look on his face* Have you ever seen a unicorn's birth?

Thrax: *shakes his head* Just that of my child.

Talic: *nods* it's a bloody affair of course... but still quite magical.

Thrax: *chuckles* A birth always is. It means new life and hope for the future.

Talic: *nods* is she afraid of the human cells in here?

Thrax: I was worried about that at first but over time she's adapted.

Talic: *looks relieved to hear that* good... typically she is afraid of adult humans.

Thrax: That I can imagine.

Talic: *after a moment* These creatures have certain needs human children do not.

Thrax: *raises his brow* You mean young ones like Northstar?

Talic: How often do you cuddle your children?

Thrax: *smiles* Whenever I can. I always have time for them.

Talic: *nods* Good... *gestures to Northstar* Foals have a physiological need to cuddle... too little can actually damage their heart.

Thrax: *sighs* I'm starting to think that date was a bad idea.

Talic: Going on a date will not harm Northstar.

Talic: When in my care she never seemed to mind if I had a boyfriend over.

Thrax: *blushes and says something in Spanish*

Talic: Repete in ingles por favor.

Thrax: Better if I don't.

Talic: *chuckles* Don't worry. If you have a date it means you are to be considered unavailable to me.

Thrax: *blushes* I wasn't too sure about taking up another after my wife died but this she-virus is actually my wife recarnated.

Talic: ahh so the wheel has turned him? *smiles and nods* She must be your soul mate.

Thrax: *chuckles slightly* My one and only. My family never turned their backs on their partners even after death.

Talic: *nods* noble. I approve of Skylight's choice for a father for her daughter.

Thrax: *holds his head high* Even though she isn't of my blood Northstar is still my daughter and I care for her.

Talic: tell me.. .is she still afraid of heights?

Thrax: *nods* Seems to be. When we're at the park I make sure she doesn't go too high on the jungle gym.

Talic: You should let her go high even if it scares her and get her down if she calls for you. If you don't allow her to climb she will not overcome her fear.

Thrax: *nods* I do.

Talic: *chuckles* I still remember how I taught her mother to fly... however her mother wasn't acrophobic so... it worked for her.

Thrax: Sometimes it takes them a while to overcome their fears.

Talic: *nods*

Thrax: I love her like my own and I don't wish to hurt her in any way.

Talic: *nods* Good to hear... If you did I'd have to kill you.

Thrax: *snarls at him* Related or not I care for my family.

Talic: *chuckles* Quite happy to hear it. *had been testing him.

Thrax: *takes deep breath to calm down* Any who thinks I'd hurt my own children, regrets it later. *his claw glows slightly*

Talic: *interested, takes hold of his left hand and looks at the claw* Fascinating..

Thrax: *snatches his hand away* Easy.

Talic: I'm not terribly worried about being hurt.

Thrax: Yeah well this claw can boil you from the inside with just the tip.

Talic: Deadly.... *purrs a bit as he examines his claw again, minding the tip*

Thrax: *rolls his eyes* Is what I said when asked what kind of sickness I had in mind.

Talic: *chuckles* forgive me.. I tend to find deadly things appealing... It's in my nature. *let's go of his hand* I'm am after all of the dark

Thrax: *nods* Understandable.

Talic: *softly* my presence really should frighten her...

Thrax: But if you are a friend of her mother and godfather then of course she wouldn't be afraid.

Talic: *nods* You'd be surprised how many unicorns do not totaly reject dark creatures.

Thrax: *smiles*Maybe it's because there's more to you than meets the eye.

Talic: Indeed... Most humans think we vampires are cruel viscious creatures.

Thrax: Misjudged like my family.

Talic: *rolls his eyes* Though my uncle Zephon used to love encouraging that rumor...

Thrax: *shakes his head* Every family had their tricksters and black sheep.

Talic: And that one in particular is a clan lord.. *smirks* I am the first born of the first born of Lord Kain... I still remember the day I met my grandsire... *chuckles* I knelt there terrified he'd consider me a weakling and cast me into the abyss and he simply plucks me from the floor and sat me in his lap and bounced me like a toddler. Conducted the entire meeting with me right there. I think I fell asleep actually... I was only a week old.. *rubs his chin*

Thrax: A week old? That young?

Talic: *nods* My sire wishd to wait until I was mostly weaned off of his veins before taking me to see his own maker.

Thrax: *rolls his eyes* I didn't thing your species was complicated.

Talic: *chuckles* We are. Moreso than most people think. As is yours I'm sure... after all in the multicellular world they're still debatingo n whether viruses can truely be called a life form.

Thrax: What do you think?

Talic: I've always questioned that hypothosis. And now it's confirmed a complete crock

Thrax: Don't always believe what you hear.

Talic: I don't typically. I have some rather fond memories of childhood... Most humans feared the youngest of my uncles most of all because he looked fierce but he's really quite gentle. *fond look crossing his features* He'd usually meet me with some form of vampire friendly sweet when I was left in his care... and the human children in his santuary adored him.

Thrax: *chuckles* Sounds alot like my father, Vicous.

Talic: I'm sure he was often judged by his name. *chuckles* When I arrived in this world in Mexico I myself was dubbed "el diablo"... I would like to meet the family my godchild has become part of.

Thrax: She already met my parents and my son's partner at the FPD but she hasn't met the rest of the clan yet. I'm just waiting until she's ready.

Talic: *nods* That would be best.

Thrax: *smiles* I don't wish to force her into anything she doesn't want to do. It's her choice.

Talic: *nods and watches NS as she begins to climb a tree

Thrax: *keeps watch in case she startes going to high*

Northstar: *goes high*

Thrax: *swallows and bites his lip as he sees this*

Talic: *genlty* it's hard... But she must eventually overcome her fear.

Thrax: *nods* I've been meaning to ask, do you know old she is? I could never bring myself to ask her.

Talic: twelve. though unicorns age more slowly than humans.

Thrax: That explains her child like personality.

Talic: *nods* she's old enough to fly, but she si too afraid of heights to try

Thrax: *nods* In time she will learn.

Northstar: *though not today as she grip sthe tree branch and calls for daddy*

Thrax:*sighs* See what I mean. *goes over to her and helps her down*

Northstar: *clings around his neck and sniffles*

Thrax: *rubs her back* Easy honey. In time you will learn.

Talic: *gently pats Northstar’s back*it's hard to see her so frightened but she must learn to overco e her fear.

Thrax: The only question is when? *notices how late it's getting* I better start dinner, my son will be home soon.

Talic: Why don't you let me give you a hand with dinner?

Thrax: *smiles* Thanks.*turns to Northstar* What do you want for dinner honey?

Northstar: *tells him one of her favorite meals*

Thrax: *carries her inside then starts gathering the ingridients*

Talic: *gives him a hand with the cooking*

Thrax: I'm thinking Black Bean and Yellow Rice Pitons with Galette of Potatoes and Exotic Mushrooms and Spring chocolate brownies or it that too fancy and too much?

Talic: *chuckles* just don't get too detailed wtih her about the ingrediants... she doesn't much care what's in it, as long as it tastes good

Thrax: *chuckles* Guess you're right. *begins cooking*

Talic: By the way I want to ask you... how do you go about discipline?

Thrax: *turns to him and shrugs* Just grounding and disciplinary spanking but that's all. *turns back to his cooking*

Talic: *nods* Occasionally I Have taken a privlage or set some cornertime as well. I'm glad spanking doesn't seem to be your primary alternative.

Thrax: *shudders* Keep it to yourself.

Talic: hm? *tilts his head* I'm simply mentioning what I've done. Are you opposed to corner time and loss of privilages as a means of punishment?

Thrax: *nods* Yes but I've only don't that with Ozzy. Northstsr hasn't anything to deserve it. *starts serving the food on to large bowls and plates*

Talic: *nods* she's a good girl. Impulsive however. In time you'll discover she likes to wadner and explore.

Thrax: As long she stays out of trouble and doesn't endanger herself. *sets the food on the table and goes to bake the brownies*

Talic: Eventually she'll do that... Though if it's any help I've discovered she rarely needs more than a stern word and a few minutes in the corner.

Thrax: *nods* Thanks for the tip at least she'll be easier than her brother.

Talic: *chuckles softly* I've had to spank her perhaps twice....

Thrax: *smiles* At least she learns Ozzy may be easier than before I took him but even now and again I have to take him over my knee.

Talic: Old habits die hard... but at least he is learning. *smiles*

Thrax: *nods, smiling* Speaking of whome where is that boy? *sets the baking tray in the oven*

Talic: Well what is his job?

Thrax: Immunity Force at the FPD

Talic: *nods* I see.
