The sky was hidden by grey clouds, as it always did this time of year on Execution Island.  The rest of the Islands in The Southern Isles of Naur Ando had sun year round, only this one remained dark.  It could possibly be the nature of the ongoing of the building that had been constructed to cover the entire island.  There were two docks that were the only entrance or exit from the island.  Each one was heavily guarded and watched closely.  The incoming dock which was where the prisoners were brought in, and the exporting dock where the wine was taken out.  He had Asked for Queen Coltessa to meet him at the Entrance dock where the latest Shipment of Prisoners were to be brought in.

Captain Julia traveled the world, gathering the most hardened Criminals and brought them to Execution island.  They were fed a Strict Diet of Sugar and various Fruits to Prep them for the First part of the Process.  It would help with the Fermentation Process later on.  The ship could be seen in the distance, whether it was Julia's or Coltessa's he couldn't be sure.  Once the Ship was close enough, he nodded to the Guards standing at the Entrance.  They knew to be ready when the Prisoners arrived.

I was traveling with Gabriel who i knew not was a vampire. On one of our travels I encountered a Spanish ship. A big battle endured and I was shot dying in the process. Gabriel picked me up and carried me to my cabin. In my dying bed. He turned me and had me drink from him. Turning me into a Vampirate. As i recovered, My hunger for blood grew each day. I was in me cabin and then try to take a sip of rum. As the taste was bitter and unpleasant and throwing the bottle against the wall of the ship. I realized i couldn't drink rum. I tried to find a way to quench my hunger. As I went and grabbed one of the crewman drunk on the floor sleeping holding a bottle in his hand and picked him up by his shirt. Showing my fangs before the man could scream I bitten into his warm flesh. Drinking from him savoring every drop of his blood. Then throwing him on the ground. Grabbing my hair looking up screaming as i knew i was doomed to live a life without me sweet rum. As timed passed . I commandeered ship. Drinking from the crew. As me men took the goods. I would leave the ship a blood soaked ruin. As me crew started to fear me. I assured them and went to get help from me son Blackbeard. Where he created Zombies. To help maintain me crew and keep them from abandoning the ship in fear. Traveling now with zombie in the ranks of the ship we sailed to meet Ba'al and made a deal with him for Rubies and goods fer me ship. In Exchange for Slaves. I looked at him* I shall bring ye the worst prisoners found around the seven seas. Murders Thieves and down right evil men. * We shook and I made way in search of men. Traveling to Santo Domingo, Dominica, Mayaguana and Santiago gathering and capturing slaves on me travels. Some of the men tried to take over my ship but I would soon make there life a living hell. Giving them a diet of alcohol and Sugar. The Zombies would whip them and have them chained and shackled. Placing them in the brig. As the prisoners soon would know they were headed to a worse fate then death. As we arrived near the shores. The men gathered the prisoners as they were brought to there knees on deck. I stood in front of them with me arms crossed Licking my lips with my fangs showing as the men started to tremble in fear. The zombie guard whipped them. As i looked at the prisoners Saying in a sarcastic voice.* When you are brought before me you will bow. * One of the men looked up at me and spit at me. I walked up and slapped him across the face. * You will fuckin respect me. I will make sure you get the most torture. As the ship came to port. The Canvass was tied up and the anchor dropped as the gang plank was brought down. So the prisoners. Can be picked up by the guards. The zombie quartermaster. Gibbins. Cracked the whip as the men stood still chained as they walked down the plank to the guards. I was dressed all in black. With a Golden plume in my hat. Walked down to meet with Baal * Your prisoners are here. I anticipate you have my payment as agreed upon,. * The zombie guards watched from above on the railings. I looked up at them. Then at Baal. * They are a new addition to my ship. As you know I am now Vampire. I expect a fair supply of Blood wine for my efforts. As well as food and supplies fer the ship. *placing my hand on the handle of my sword. * Has Queen Coltessa arrived yet. I would like to pay my respects.

3- Coltessa

It had only been a matter of days since she had seen the quiet man. She had treasured a trust in him for all he had done for her. With the transaction of the Black Kingdom completed and the deeds sign back over to her, it was time to learn so much more. Her taste of the thirst of most of her kind was an acquired one. She had but one issue with it. To let flesh touch her lips was unheard of. She had a unique way she would feed and David's hunger lurked deep within her veins, making it hard sometimes to control that thirst.She had literally been starving herself. Hindering on the verge of decay, she knew she needed to restore her inner self back to the woman she once was before her David went missing. She had no choice but to feed that hunger now. Ba'al, with his kindness, offered a tour of Execution Island, sharing with her briefly the factories bottle blood wine. It peeked her curiosity, as that aspect of her, was still un~tamable. The thought of subduing her hunger through a bottle gave her the want to begin to travel once more.The Shadowed Rose was prepared and the course readied for the Island. Ba'al's offer deeply honored and as she stood on the helm of the ship, the southern winds blew her raven hair into its grasp. Her darkened eyes despised the waters of Captain Julia, though she too had become a dear friend, and her anger caused the waves to heighten.  Calming her anger, she breathed in and retired to her cabin.Her form laid down and stared out of the cabin window, It would be dark soon, the travel proposed to be ended by a two days travel.. She summoned LeNessa, a quiet young girl who, since David's disappearance, had become a vessel for her. Having the devotion to drain her crimson milk into a goblet for her so her Mistress would not have to touch her flesh. Her pale exterior of a porcelain doll came from the shadows of her dark cabin and she was handed that goblet. Coltessa smiled at her, gathering her golden locks with in her own porcelain hands"Ye hath been so good to me LeNessa. But ye yourself, I hath all but drained. Lord Ba'al and his Execution Island has been offered for us to tour. Blood wine. Manufactured I'm told by prisoners of a sorts. Perhaps this wine of his, would appease thine thirst to give ye time to rest. Ye art such a prized possession I could not do without."She smiled to her, her golden hair leaving her grasp slowly as LeNessa lowered her head and returned to her chambers, this allowing her Mistress to drink and relax on her new journey. Watching her companion leave her gave her a sad feeling. To be alone was something Coltessa had grown to accept. Her David's love still fresh within her soul. Sipping LeNessa's crimson milk, she lay back and watch the darkening sky and upon finishing it, she emerged back to the helm and watched as the blanket of night covered Captain Julia's sea.

4- Ba'al

Waiting Patiently at the docks while Julia's Ship approached, he noticed a difference in the Ship.  It wasn't until he actually saw her that he realized how large of a difference.  He handed her the payment, a small sack of Rubies, and another of gold. "The rest will be loaded onto your Ship." He nodded to her ship as he spoke. Out of the Corner of his eye Coltessa's Ship could be seen, and a small smile formed as he nodded in the direction of the approaching vessel. "Looks like it won't be long for you to wait.  Just enough time for your.... men..." He paused, trying to find the right word to describe the new Crewmen the Captain had acquired  "To unload the Prisoners." He finished, completing the smile and taking a step back to get a better view of the new arrivals.

While Watching the men line up along the passageway to the building, he stood perfectly still, arms folded lightly behind his back.  Hazel eyes moved to examine each man, sizing them up.  For once he was not evaluating his odds in a fight, but deciding what parts would make the best for the wine.  He watched the way each man moved, muscle structure, and other various actions that would tell what organs would have the most blood flow  and would be the strongest.  Once all of the men had been unloaded, and evaluated  it was near time for Coltessa's Ship to be Docking.  Giving Captain Julia a small nod, He began to turn and walk down the Dock to where the ship would be arriving.  He waited Patiently with Julia for the Ship to dock.  Once the Ship had been Deboarded, he gave Queen Lestat a bow of respect, and greeting.  "Pleasure to see you again." He said with a smile as he returned to a standing position.  "The Prisoners have all been lined up outside the doors to enter the building they will be leaving in Bottles." A hint of Amusement could be heard in his voice. He gave the two women a moment to greet each other before taking a step back, and half turning toward the building. "Shall we?" He asked, gesturing to the Building with his arm.

Upon entering the building of the Blood Winery, all light was nearly extinguished.  Only a few torches lit the Black stone hallway ten feet apart, alternating on each side. "This is the hallway the Prisoners wait to be inspected in." He announced, standing to the side to let The Queen and Captain enter.  "Each Prisoner is checked for diseases before being sent, and checked once more on arrival." He continued, beginning to walk down the hallway.  "They are then removed of all clothing, and separated into lines by their blood type." He pointed to the divisions in the Hallway and kept walking.  "Once in their new lines, they are removed of all hair and any other artificial articles (Wooden teeth, false eyes, Ect.). Their Shackles are next connected to a chain that pulls them across a pit." He gestured to the Pit with a wide sweep of his arm.  "Water is tossed on them and they are cleaned of all dirt and debris before the process of drawing blood can begin."  Once they reached the end of the Hallway, he gestured to the men at the door to begin dividing and preparing the Prisoners. "At the end of the pit, they will be attached by their feet Here." He continued while the Prisoners were continuing the preparation Process.  He pointed to a chain that reached across a slotted floor that catches all blood drained from them.  "To work up fear and increase the taste of the blood, no major arteries are cut in this process.  They are to be drained of much of their blood, but not completely." He added, walking along the floor. "Should we have a little fun and test out a few of the Prisoners?" he asked, a devilish grin forming as he spoke."Once on the other side of the chain, they are moved one at a time to be skinned alive." He nodded to the other end of the Chain section.  "The blood is caught by a net covered hole that leads down to the lower level.  Once in the lower level, the first steps of mixing begins.  the skin is thrown together to be pressed for more blood later.  The muscles are next to be stripped and thrown into another area for pressing.  digestive organs are thrown out, and others are set aside and separated for later use.  After each body is dismembered and torn apart, all that is left at the end of the process is bone.  Bones are thrown into a pit of their own to be crushed down or used in some other way at another time." His grin never faded as he spoke.  the Prisoners had all been finished Prepping by this time, and were ready for the next step.

As I saw Baal and he handed me the sachets of gold and the other of rubies. I smiled showing my fangs as my eyes grew red. the darkness of my soul was revealed As i looked at Baal and bowed. * Your payment is well taken Baal. I will continue to supply more slaves from the island which are prisoners. There is a few i keep on board so when i want to drink I can kill them and hang them letting there blood drip into the bottles. * licking my fangs as i think of it. * As two of my zombie men stood beside me, One holding a cat o nines in his hand. As i heard the waves crashing against the sands and turned seeing Coltessa ship. As i accompanied you my zombie crew stayed with the prisoners keeping them in line. As one tried to escape my crewman cracked the whip on his back removing flesh from bone. As the man fell to his knees and pleased for mercy. I heard the commotion as we stood at the dock . As i saw the commotion and seen the zombie crewman had got the man and placed him back in line I smiled knew my new crew do there job. As I seen Lady Coltessa and bowed * tis good to see ye Queen Coltessa, Tis has been a long time. *Smiling at her revealing my fangs. As I then walked following Baal and her toward the factory. As i followed into the hallway where me zombie men were holding whips. I looked at them * Return to the ship, I release ye of ye duties * As the men left the chained prisoners and they looked around scared. The terror in there faces can be seen as one man knees began to shake, Seeing the hallways slightly lit. As I walked passed the men and they looked at me. One of the prisoners knew i was a vampire and dropped to his knees. *Please captain kill me now. I don't want to be here. I plead your mercy. * I chuckled and looked at him. * You are no longer my concern. * As i walked ahead watching as each man was undressed and inspected. * glaring at one men placing him under a hypnotic trance with my gaze as he became silent and accepted his fate. As i stood next to Coltessa as i watched as the men were striped of teeth., Watching as they were pulled from there mouths as two men held them down as they screamed in agony. I whispered to Coltessa. * This is very interesting and good the way to supply vampires with blood. Don't ye agree. As i am one now. I do have to say I wonder what David would think of me now being a vampirate. * I chuckled. Hearing the men in pain as there skin is ripped leaving raw flesh as I see the blood draining. The hunger burning within me for a taste. Trying to control myself. I love hearing the torture of there screams. I closed my eyes and took that in. Giving me a sort of orgasm. I looked at Baal * The process for the factory is excellent. What do you do with the prisoners which you find to have disease. How do you dispose of them. * Walks with them as we continued the tour. The echos of screeching can be heard through out the factory.

6- Coltessa

His Island as dark as the Black Kingdom its self flourished through the early morning breach as her Captain maneuvered them into the port. The shadow of Lord Ba’al’s form, seem to appear to her as he stood on the edge of his docks awaiting her arrival. The Shadowed Rose aligned with Captain Julia’s ship as its shadow seemed to tower over her sails. The three tiered Rose once served an Oceanic home when traveling upon the seas. A ballroom and massive dinning hall as well as elegant suits for those who would live no longer beyond the boundaries of where they entered for their trip. She accommodated her meals perfectly, seeing it would be there last voyage.   Not seeing it personally, she saw his smile crease his lips and she returned one as well as she was escorted to where he stood. Her head inclined to his respectful bow and she touched his cheek lightly."You are Regent of the Black Kingdom and forever within good standing to its Queen; you needed bow to me Lord Ba’al."Looking towards where he wished to have her follow she breathed in deeply. She was famished. Though her private vessel did her best, the hunger for David and not having him to feed her, was becoming unbearable. The beast within her had never been seen in the Black Kingdom and as she exhaled she knew it would be best had no one seen such a side to her.She followed his form as if a prowler was being led to its feeding grounds. Her tongue hindered upon her own teeth that gave her the characteristics of who she was and she listened intently as he described the abilities he had in creating such a divine taste for the wine she would savor later. The closer to the building, the more she buried the beast craving to lash out with its hunger. But being the classy lady she was bread to be, her power kept her will strong. She fed not as others of her kind. Her mouth would never touch the flesh of anyone.He explained the cycle of their draining process of the crimson milk into a luxury wine that could almost be tasted with each step Lord Ba’al explained to her. As she watched Captain Julia kindle to the evil of it all a light smile pursed her lips and her eyes seemed to light up. The torturous acts and the screams of the demonstrations of the process stirred her hunger. Her voice a mere whisper to the prisoners, though they heard her perfectly clear."Weakness won’t save you. Accept your fate. ‘Tis beautiful what you do for our kind. Be calm. Your screams are gratifying. I thank you for them."She went back to Lord Ba’al’s voice as he continued to speak the process to her. She watched hungrily. Her breath a labored pain of want and need to feed. Looking to her Captain and smiling with her hunger she wrapped her arm entwined with hers and whispered back to her."I almost wish I had a bottle within my reach M’lady. As for mine David, His presence be near and looking over those he cared dearly for. He would be proud luv. *looking to Lord Ba’al* Yes M’lord, what is it ye do with those not suitable for such a treat? Such a magnificent man you art M’lord. I am proud to hath thee apart of our great Kingdom."  

7- Ba'al

Smiling proudly as both women voiced their approval of the process so far, he waited for the first set of men to reach them, and bent to pull a small dagger from his boot.  He was never unarmed, even though with most of his powers the dagger was rarely used for anything but his own sadistic pleasures."Bring the coward first." he called to the guards, who grabbed the man who had fallen to his knees and begged for his life to the first section.  Ba'al twirled the dagger in his hand as he waited for the man to reach him."The rejected men are sent to Eden." He answered to both Women.  "They are used for Hunting down." He shrugged as the man was brought in front of them, shackled and ready.  He held his blade to the man, running the flat part of the blade against every artery, making sure not to cut just yet.

With a Smile, he turned the blade, and made a slit up the man's chest, making sure it wasn't deep enough to puncture any of the Organs since they were to be used later.  There was a small table next to the work area that held some cups that he had asked the workers to leave for the tour.  He held each cup to the wound, and filled them, handing one to each of the women.

"A taste of the blood before it is mixed."  he said, making sure he hadn't spilled any.  "once we Reach the lower level you will be able to see the Mixing process revealed." He said with a smile  "the Organs that will have been separated are treated much like grapes in the normal wine making process." He continued as the women tasted the pure and fresh blood of the man.  "The Organs are pressed and blended down for the fermenting Process." He said continuing to cut on the man to make him bleed more.  "Yes, this is done the old traditional way with bare feet and stomping of the organs." He added with a Smile, a hint of amusement in his tone.  "The Blood that is being drained from him right now will be all mixed together with the blood from the other prisoners and kept at body temperature to stop coagulation.  Once the organs are ready and fermented, they will be ready to be prepared." The man Screamed as he sliced more of his skin, but he was ignored as Ba'al continued. "The humans have been fed nothing but Sugar and Various fruits on the journey to the Island to help with the fermenting process, since the normal human organs don't produce enough sugar on their own to ferment."  he finished, Motioning to the Workers to move the man to the next step.  He held the dagger out by the hilt to both of the women." Either one of you want to play?" he asked, making sure to hold the blade by the flat edge so it could be grabbed by the hilt.

8- Coltessa

He asked if they wished to play as she eyed the knife belonging to Lord Ba’al. It had been long since she had done something so vile and sinister that as she eyed the blade being held out to them, she remembered the severed head she bid to her David before their wedding day. Moving slightly to perhaps take the blade from him, she remembered her own tucked secretly within her bodice.   Now looking to his blade as if it had been tarnished, then looking to the cup in her hand, she smelled the aroma of the crimson milk and smiled once again to Lord Ba’al."I do M’Lord. Might I show ye how I like to play?"She looked at the next morsel and had the guard bring him forth to her. Her eyes grew to a bright white as she lifted the hunger to her lips. His feet dangling below him, just barely above her. The fear in his eyes caused a great smile of her lips as she licked them from the thought of her own process where "fresh" milk was at hand. Her thoughts clutched at his vocal chords so he seemed paralyzed from screaming, only his eyes told the horror as her own blade was revealed and held to him.As if their bodies where held parallel to each other, his rose flat above her hers though not touching. Her hand lifted to the throat carefully, not wanting to waste the parts Lord Ba’al needed for his processing of the morsel. Puncturing his body just below the neck but not close enough to do much damage, she saw the scream in his eyes as her mouth opened below him and the warm milk streamed into her mouth.   When Queen LeStat had her little drink, her mind moved them back to standing positions and she stepped away with a lick of her dark lips. A look to her Captain and Lord Ba’al with a slight explanation."I do not like the feel of flesh to thine mouth. Before mine marriage to David, I was but half of who mine husband was. Mine father Vampyre, mine mother but human. My father taught me such a way, so that I would not hath to feel their bodies grow cold under mine feeding. It has since become a play vessel. So ye see M’lord, your bottling such a divine drink is much to mine liking and I won’t hath to touch the vagrants used no longer."She licked the blade of her knife as if it were being washed from the blood that spilled upon it. Placing it back in her bodice, she smiled at her Captain.   "They are quite tasty."She stood back beside her and looked innocently at the rest of the men. Their fears in their eyes a pleasing affect to watch. Looking back to Lord Ba’al, a thought came to her of her sweet vessel, LeNessa."M’lord, do ye not use women within your little process. Their blood such sweet bliss."

Ba'al-

Watching her with great admiration, he wiped the blood from his blade onto the underside of his shirt and slid it back into his boot.  Nodding his head, and stepping to the side he continued to watch the Queen with great curiosity added from her words.  The man's soundless screams were intriguing, his eyes showing the terror his voice couldn't express.  Her way of toying with the man was interesting to him. Her explanation only intriguing him more.

"I'm very glad to hear how useful the wine will be to you Dear Queen." He replied with a wide smile.  The Question asked next was an interesting one that he hadn't even thought of before.  "In all honesty, there aren't very many female prisoners that are brought here.  Most women who commit crimes don't make it as far as the Winery.  They tend to die quickly from abuse given by the guards that capture them."  He frowned slightly. "throw a woman in with a bunch of savages and they will do much more horrible things to her than can ever be done here."  He shook his head, and looked between the two women. "I would never subject a woman to such cruelty, criminal or not.  The few that do make it here are kept seperate for specialty brewings dealt with on the other side of the island."  

The Southern side of the Island was set up for the specialty blends, women, fae, and other types of blood that could be sold for a slightly higher price.  These were all handled with great care, and more attention to details than the other wines.  The tour would eventually work it's way towards that end of the island, but for now his focus was mainly on the normal process.  

Glancing to the Captain, he gave her a quick smile.  "Any other Questions before we continue below?" He asked, hands folded neatly before him, fingers lacing together as his hazel eyes moved between the two women.

Coltessa-

~such a thought had not occurred to the lady raynes. as he expressed his reasons. To be touched so horribly did not sit well with her. but yet, lord ba’al seemed amused by such actions of his men and perhaps it was a part of his procedures for such frolic to be allowed~

~gaining much more gratitude for the regent so placed by her for the black kingdom a sheer smile creased her lips. the tour would soon move on to below, he had stated. she would be patient and wait for the sweet blissful event of the other side of the island. right now, learning of this wondrous organization was most intriguing. she looked to her captain awaiting any questions from her, perhaps something she had not asked herself. her arm she entwined once more with the illustrious woman. another so trusted within her late husbands kingdom~

Julia-

As I seen Coltessa grab the man picking him up. My mouth opened at the site my fangs showed as the man scrinced in pain and the adrenoline as he was scared knowing he was in danger. I smiled at the side. Knowing she was wicked like David was, As You moved away after drinking his blood. I nodded and replied as I looked at you. " Yes they are even better when they are evil doers. They taste quite pleasant m'lady.Continued to look around . I smirked. The smell of blood consumed me. I heard his question. "I know of a place where magical creatures can be obtained. For a higher price. I can bring more Faes and women if ye be in need of them. I can honestly say there is nothing like the taste of fae blood upon my lips.* I walked to Baal. There is a cargo ship with proisoners on board coming off the coast of St Lucia bound for Haiti. I can intercept the ship and capture the prisoners aboard one we leave. They are some of the worse prisoners said to roam the Caribbean. They should be a good thing for the winery. *turned as Coltessa licked the blade. Then smriked. I couldnt wait to go to the other side. I knew there be more to see on how the women are handled. I started to head toward the stairs below. Then looked at Baal. * You done an excellent job with the winery. I would like to see what ye have below.
