[Reva]

---

As Reva approached the Den of Sin a man met her outside. He called himself Davis, some sort of emissary from the Moonglow Town Council.

Reva, once a very friendly girl, gazed at him coldly, saying nothing. He asked where he could find Ceinwyn, arch matriarch of Umbra. Reva closed her eyes while muttering a spell. She sent a tiny dark spirit and passed a messge to her mistress.

Then she went into the Den with hardly a nod at Davis and stood on the pentagram where she immediately began to meditate. Davis sat on a bar stool.

Ceinwyn entered and greeted Davis. Reva stepped close behind him so he was between the matriarch and herself.

"Shall I hold him for you while you feed?" She asked the vampire that was Ceinwyn.

Ceinwyn smiled. "No. I have no need for the blood of strangers while I am in Umbra."

Feeling chagrinned, Reva said, "Of course not." She removed her gorget as she pulled her long black hair from her neck, walked to Ceinwyn and offered her own long throat. Her hot blood coursed through the jugular more quickly as her excitement grew. Only once before had the matriarch granted her this.

Ceinwyn thanked her but said she was sated already.

She listened as the two talked. Mostly dribble from Davis about being assigned to meet the leader of Umbra by Yolen, mayor of Moonglow Town Council, for whom Davis claimed to be the assistant.

Ceinwyn teased the man with little tidbits, such as her favorite color was blue. Reva would have thought it was black but you learn something new every day.

Vargus Daelstrom came in and sat quietly, listening.

It came out that Davis had been widowed for years and celibate since his wife died. Ceinwyn told him he should move on with his life. He protested he revered her memory too much.

Reva (wearing a leather bustier and shorts with thigh boots that did little to cover her healthy young body while they accentuated her curves) stepped forward, cocked her hips with a hand resting on one hip. "Too bad for you."

Vargus chuckled.

Ceinwyn told him the dead can be raised. Reva the necromancer said, "I can animate her dead body for you."

Davis shuddered though Ceinwyn's offer had been genuine while Reva's had been a cruel joke even though she could have done it if the body was not too decayed.

Eventually the matriarch tired of toying with the man and bade them all good night. She told Reva to take good care of his needs and left. Reva stared at the man and wondered what Ceinwyn meant. What did he need? A drink or something more? What had they been talking about?

She then set about complying with her mistress' wish. Later she thought how much she enjoyed serving Ceinwyn.
