THE BALL KEEPS ROLLING! by by Justin D. Fax
In spite of the dark cloud of murder, the Immortals Annual Costume Ball will proceed as planned. Several mortal Watchers have been found dead over the past few weeks, and preliminary investigations have turned up nothing. In desperation, a Spectral Inquisitor has been called in to resolve the issue and bring an end to the horrid string of untimely deaths.
ANOTHER BRAWL THIS BALL? by Gossip Columnist Mêlez Bereichern
Last year’s brawl between Nineve & Morganna over the handsome Merlin, ended with the fairy princess getting thrown out. Will she try to lure Merlin back to her lake home again this year? We will just have to wait and see! Merlin won't have the brave Lancelot armed with Excalibur to rescue him this time. Two years after that brave rescue, poor Lancelot died. Authorities determined no spells or poisions were used, andhis death remains a mystery to this day.

VAMPYR VICTORY! by I. B. Wondren
The most famousWatcher of all, Professor Jackson, has just invented a Vampyr sunscreen that will allow the Vampyr to be out in sunlight for short periods of time. It was the Professors father who found the cure for the Were's severe allergy to silver, and his grandfather who invented Vampyr Juice, a blood substitute that has most of the nutrients of human blood. Vampyr no longer have to take lives to survive. "We are very grateful to Professor Jackson & his ancestors," Prince Allendro was reported to say at a recent dinner, "I look forward to thanking him in person."

CELEBRATION ENDS IN CHAOS! by Awn DeCeen
Three Immortal groups are left without leaders after the disasterous and diabolical acts of the insidious Professor Jackson. Through hard questioning and superb forensic investigation, the assigned Inquisitor sent to discover the person responsible for the murders of the Watchers determined the killer was none other than Professor Jackson! Upon presentation of the evidence and announcement of the murderer, Professor Jackson went into a rage and attacked the Immortal leaders, slaying the newly appointed leader of the Were Clan, the honorable Seth. King Oberon received what should have been a killing blow, but was able to cheat death through his quick wit. It was further determined that earlier in the evening Professor Jackson had stabbed Merlin, the venerable leader of the Mage Guild and loyal husband to Morganna, killing him. In his attempt to escape, Professor Jackson was shot by the Inquisitor. The funerals for the beloved leaders will be held next week.

Arthur You are a member of the Royal Mage Family. Your mother and father, Merlin & Morganna, claim you perform many valuable tasks around the Mage Court.

She has always led the Weres with strength and compassion and they have respected her.

Nineve You are a Lake Fairy and the mystical Lady of the Lake from Arthurian legend. You are the daughter of King Oberon and Queen Tatiana.

VAMPYR HOUSE

Prince Allendro You are the ruler of the Vampyr Houses. You are a popular leader amongst the Vampyr. You recently took the mortal Cynthia as your Scion.

It started hundreds of years ago when Bastet entombed you 100 years for feeding on one of her servants without permission. Gregory

Cynthia You are Scion to the leader of the Vampyr Clan, Prince Allendro. A Scion is a mortal who has drank Vampyr blood after being almost drained of his or her own. This mortal is then under the control of the Vampyr. A link exists that enables Prince Allendro to operate through your body, often with more power than normal. He can also read your mind. Your lifespan has also been increased by several hundreds of years. Before Prince Allendro took you as his Scion, you had been seeing the Vampyr Gregori and he had asked you to become his mate. You loved Gregori, but had not yet made up your mind when the Prince took you. Gregori was the Prince’s life long friend when this happened and you do not think he has spoken to him since. Rebecca

Natasha You are a well-known member of the Vampyr community. In fact, Vamp is the word that describes you best. Your man-eating ways are known throughout the Immortal realms and many attached female Vampyr’s make a point of keeping their mates a safe distance away from you. They needn’t worry any longer however, as you have set your sights on one Vampyr -- Prince Allendro, and only he, and the lifestyle he will give you will do. Bianca

Gregori Grew up as Prince Allendro’s best friend. That friendship ended when the Prince took Cynthia as his Scion. It was expected that Gregori and Cynthia would become marry eachother. As the Prince’s Scion, Cynthia is denied marriage. Bob

THE WATCHERS Watchers are a group of specially selected mortals who protect the secret realm of the Immortals from ever becoming known to the human race. This is to avoid the mass panic that would inevitably arise from us knowing that Vampyr’s, Were-creatures, Mages and Fairies actually existed.

Your father invented the serum that replaces blood for Vampyr’s so they no longer have to kill to survive and his father before him developed the cure for the Were’s severe allergy to silver.
