Queen of Pentacles
Although we have another archway for a back drop here this one is quite different from most. This one is much more Celtic than the rest. The designs on the sides and top of the archway would be considered a modern gothic design. Very similar to the style used on tattoos. Inside the arch is a large marble pentacle. Standing in front of this archway, with her leathery wings extended out, is the Queen of Pentacles. She is unquestionably a vampire, complete with crown and ceremonial robes. She stands there in a way that resembles lying in a coffin, with her arms crossed over her breast. A very formal stance, similar to the way the High Priest was positioned.
“What is it you wish to ask of me, mortal?”
I am performing a scientific study on your lifestyle and culture. Looking at things from a historical stand point until now.
“To what purpose?”
Your clan and others like it are a part of this world, a part of its history and will be a part of its future. Your existence should not be lost to the ages.
“That information would be too valuable to our enemies. I will not sanction it.”
This information is not for public use, but to be stored in a special vault of world knowledge along with secrets of other cultures throughout history. Plus, I would share it with your own archives.
“And what are YOU getting out of all this?”
Personal knowledge, personal satisfaction. This all fascinates me so much I can hardly sleep thinking about it.
“You understand the dangers you will constantly face?”
Yes, my lady.
“Even my sanction and sponsorship does not guarantee your safety. I have political enemies within my realm.”
Yes, my lady, I am aware that I take my life in my own hands during this endeavor. I do believe the results will be worth even my very life.
“Well, that very well could be the price you pay…..”
