[Dragongal]

Some time later, Emmalia rested with her head on Callum's bare chest and her arm over his waist. Her paranoia had been calmed to some extent, and now she was just content to be with Cal. Slowly, she said, "I love you, Callum."

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum took a moment to wait before he replied, "I love you too, Em." He was enjoying the nice quietness, especially since he felt so tired now. He wasn't sure if Emmalia had worn him out, or because of how long they had been laying still. Either way, he gave out a yawn and said, "We don't have anything more to do today do we?"

 

[Dragongal]

Em shook her head. "Not a damn thing, lover." She looked up at him and asked, "Why? You want to sleep already? I suppose I can't blame you, I'm a touch weary too." It was funny, seeing how well he slept with her, when she knew he had been an insomniac beforehand. It definitely made her feel useful, at least.

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum nodded his head slowly. "We'll wake up tomorrow early and hopefully get some work done." He closed his eyes and stayed silent for a couple of seconds, before replying, "Goodnight, dearest." A small smile was on his face as he slowly drifted off to sleep.

 

[Dragongal]

The next day went by with no problems of any sort. It wasn't long before dinner - well, dinner for Cal, she just read a book and kept him company. They were eating out in a lovely courtyard with arches in the walls that led into a sprawling garden. Emmalia often found herself wandering those trails in the day. But now, she was with Callum. "So, we've been invited to a ball at Aman's, but it's not for two more weeks. I say we see how we feel about it and show up if we want."

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum ate like he used to - with fancy silverware, an array of maids to drop of food or drink whenever he requested. He had used to live like this all the time when he was young, until he took the job with Emmalia all those years ago and gave up the life of a prince. Now, though, he decided that, just one night, he'd make full use of the kitchen and their staff. "I like that idea. Not very Lordly, but hey, we're not the usual royalty couple."

 

[Dragongal]

Emmalia grinned and said, "Watch, we'll go and he'll have something he'll pay us to kill - and take credit for us being together. Of course he only means well." She glanced up at him eating, then looked back down at her book. It wasn't often that she missed having real food, but this was one of those rare times.

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum smiled across the table at Emmalia, enjoying his food and the cool breeze that passed him. After a moment, he dismissed a few maids who offered him trays, and sat back a bit in his chair before standing up. "Excuse me." He said, slowly pushing in his chair as he turned to leave, a rather strained expression on his face.

 

[Dragongal]

Emmalia looked up at Callum quizzically. It was strange, him so suddenly leaving. He had seemed fine a moment ago.... why would he look almost like he was in pain? "You okay...?" She asked hesitantly.

 

[Solar Daddy]

"I'm fine." He said quickly, dismissing it with a wave of his arm. "Just need some fresh air is all." He stepped out of the courtyard and into a smaller room off to the side with plenty of windows and entrances. He put a hand to his chest as he felt his heart beat faster, his breathing became more irregular as he soon dropped to his knees. Callum heaved as he fell to the ground, his vision going dark and his breath halting.

 

[Dragongal]

Emmalia heard Callum's heart rate pick up and didn't want to seem too concerned. When she heard his knees hit the ground, though, she knew that she had made a mistake in waiting, and got up to run to his side. She slid on her knees, coming to a halt next to him and pulling him close. Even with her advanced hearing, she pressed her ear to his chest. While his heart was still, her undead heart was pounding in her chest as she pulled him close to her while tears started streaking down her face. "Gods, please Cal, wake up, please don't make me..."

Callum would wake up in a matter black room. In fact, it wasn't clear if it was a room, or just a black floor that went on endlessly. At first, he'd be all alone, but then he'd find a young woman with blonde hair, pale skin, black eyes, dressed in a black cloak and dress, crying softly. She was only about 18 years old, it seemed.

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum opened his eyes slowly, as though he was only just getting up from bed in the morning. He sat up and looked around, seeing the girl in the distance. He slowly got up and walked towards her slowly, not bothering to wonder where he was. The girl was crying, which meant distress. He needed to help her. "Hello...?" He asked. "Are you alright ma'am?"

 

[Dragongal]

The girl looked up at him and quietly said, "Oh, Callum, you're too kind. I'm fine. But you aren't." She took his hand in hers. Her beauty was absolutely inhuman. "You've been poisoned, Callum. I'm very sorry, but... you're dead."

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum figured he was dead the second he stepped away from the table with Emmalia. He wasn't sure why but... He simply felt tired. He didn't want to fight for life, he just wanted to sleep He took the moment to think about whether or not he had lived a full like. He died with Emmalia loving him, and that's all he could ask for. "Who are you?"

 

[Dragongal]

"My name is not of your language. You may call me Death, Last Lady, Mourner, whatever you like. I receive all the spirits of those who have passed from your plane." She was very patient with him, and had stopped crying for the most part. "I then must judge each soul - some deserve Hel, others deserve the High Plane, and others the Peaceful Realm."

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum nodded slowly and rubbed his eyes a bit. "Well, it's nice to finally meet you. I suppose it's about time." He spoke rather lowly, his eyes going down to the floor. "So, what's my judgement?" He didn't feel like having every decision he made judged individually. He just wanted to get on with whatever was to happen to him, because no matter what the verdict was, he felt as though he made at least one life worth it, even if the life was of an undead woman.

 

[Dragongal]

Death smiled slightly at him. "Very few are as kind as you about this. That's one of the many reasons why I am going to offer you something very special - I will resurrect you, and you will be immortal, IF you agree to be my spirit guide. You see, on occasion, a soul is so tied to your realm that it doesn't come to me. Typically the emotion tying them is anger, guilt, fear... but these souls wander, confused and lost, because for them to come to me wilful are many years before they're satisfied. Unless someone were to help them. Once, I was able to do that, but now no longer -the abilities of human mage's has caused problems in my realm, and for me to leave for but a second would be catastrophe." She took Callum's chin in her hand and raised his face so he would look at her. "Sometimes these souls are trapped by other people. Sometimes they become violent. You are a master swordsman, you have changed your life for the better once already, and your soul mate is a vampiress. I can think of no better person for this. Please accept. Otherwise, you may go to the peaceful realm."

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum's first instinct was to go to the Peaceful Realm. Forever just... resting. No responsibilities, no burdens to carry, no emotions to have. Just relaxation for eternity. But the one thing that brought him back - the one thing that changed his mind, was what she had said. Soul Mate. Emmalia. His soul mate. Slowly, Callum nodded his head. "I'll do your bidding. Please, return me to Emmalia."

 

[Dragongal]

Death smiled and leaned in to kiss his cheek. "You're a good man, Callum. I knew I was right in choosing you. If you need me, pray. I'll send another of my champions to assist you in the changes you face." She let go of his hand, and was revived.

Emmalia had immediately bitten him once she knew he wouldn't wake. His blood had been so sweet, but she had only taken enough to turn him, though she knew there was no guarantee. The poison made her feel a bit ill, but she was to busy being manic about his death. She had sat there, cradling his body for hours, sobbing. Just as she had for Peter, but now she was truly inconsolable. To prevent the secret of vampirism from spreading, she took his body away to a glade she had once found in her wanderings. There was a shack there, unlived in, evidently for some kind of game keeper at some time. Now, she had Callum on the bed and sat next to him in a chair, trying to pray though she knew it was pointless. Two days and nights she had gone without sleep or food, - the small bit of his blood sustained her. The moment his heart beat again, thoigh, her crying ceased and she went rigid, staring in confusion. It hadn't been three days - his heart shouldn't beat....

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum sat up in a split second and began heaving, as though there was a portion of his life missing, and he had just been poisoned moments ago. He began to shake as his mind tried to comprehend what it had just gone through. He nearly fell over the side of the bed as he blinked rapidly and breathed heavily. "E-Em..." He groaned out as his senses came back to him.

 

[Dragongal]

Emmalia, frantic with joy and fear, pulled him close to her and supported him. "Cal! Cal, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you eat that, I should have checked, I'm sorry. But you're back! How -" She realized he was shaking and clearly had just gone through something - he had been resurrected, after all. "Nevermind. Just breathe...." She slowly ran her fingers through his hair, like she knew he liked.

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum tool a few moments to finally calm down and relax. He looked over at Emmalia and brought her into a tight hug. "Oh gods I'm glad I'm back." He said. "I have so much to tell you, I visited some..." His voice trailed off as he tried to recollect what had happened, but he couldn't. The only thing he remembered was an assortment of words, something about collecting lost souls, and to pray for help. Everything else was a blur, where he was, what had happened. Callum only remembered falling to the ground at the castle, and now he was in a cabin.

 

[Dragongal]

Emmalia looked at him with concern. When she had died, she had just woken up from a slumber, no dreams or anything. Now his attention seemed to be drifting, so she said, "Cal...I have to tell you. I bit you. But you're no vampire." Despite what she said, she didn't want him to panic. She kissed his forehead and said, "I don't know how you're alive, but I am so glad...."

 

[Solar Daddy]

Callum attempted to remember everything that had happened but still couldn't come up with anything. "You bit me?" He asked and felt around for the bite marks. "Where at?" He rubbed his eyes and waved his hand dismissively. "Whatever. Look, I'm just glad I'm back. Nothing else matters." He pulled her into a deep kiss.

 

[Dragongal]

Emmalia had been surprised at the sudden kiss, but returned it immediately. When she pulled away, she smiled softly, then suddenly looked shocked as she stared at him. "Cal, your eyes... they're pale blue now...."
