Isis
You stick two of the gems into your arm and as soon as they break the skin they are drawn in. In what is but a moment in reality seems to be several minutes to you. Your "soul" is ripped through a hellish land with demon faces and arms reaching out to you, screaming and hungering for your flesh and mind. As your mind starts to unravel your "soul" rejoins your body and you are back in the real world. The creatures you encountered have fractured your mind for the time being and you enter frenzy.
You rip, eat and devour everything in sight until you are eventually able to reign your beast back into control. As you look around you can see that you decimated a small village of about 20+ people. There are a few screams of the dying and there is a child at your feet with their arm and chest ripped open looking at you with great fearful eyes, bleeding. Not dead yet.
This is where your story begins. What do you do? You have no idea where you are.
Isis - If she takes the time to look around then she will figure out that the teleport landed her near the church that Nicomedes attacked and the gem glows or burns her the closer she gets to the floating skull teleporter.

Retainers action
Being at a loss with no knowledge of what has happened to Mother Isis her retainer continues on the course she set him. As time goes on their full blood bond begins to fade and downgrades to a level 2 bond. But being a individual of opportunity they figure that if they can pull this off at worst they can lay claim to the land and manor if she does not return.
"I will make it my manor again I bought it fair and square .I will get my retainer to assist me with this as well."
Retainers tests: P, r, p, s, s
Our tests:
Results: Your retainer learns that there was a unknown clause in the title to the land. Though it was technically hers, as heir to the de Zenaro family the land was not actually owned by them. As founding members of the city they "acquired" the land for supporting the formation of the Council and making it a free city. The deed said:
"So long as a de Zenaro shall reside in the Ancestral home and make their primary port of business Trieste the lands and estate surrounding it shall in perpetuity belong unto them. In return the family shall support the council with their influence and might, defend the city. Further, at their cost they shall extend the city walls to encompass the estate and offer protection and food to those of the city in good standing should the city become besieged."
Some opportunistic councilors are arguing that since there is no ancestral home remaining that the contract is null and void. This side seems to be gaining ground.
Your retainer pushing and trying to head up a coalition has managed to pit many of the members against each other and the thought that one of them might manage to gain the estates that were/are yours seems to have been halted. However, there is a lot of bad blood and pettiness at the moment. They have shifted their focus from gaining the land for themselves to denying their long time rivals and one of the once most powerful families, the de Zenaro's, at the table their long time estate with private mini port.
Bonus: In a brilliant move, discovering that retaining the land against so many greedy merchants, some of whom have been waiting generations to bring the de Zenaro family low, your retainer has pulled together several back door deals. Citing how it was Mother Isis de Zenaro who expended so much effort to shelter citizens from outside the wall, that it was her who lived up to the old contract. That it is she who has suffered and lost her ancestral home.
Your retainer has managed to pull enough support together that the city is granting a new deed of land to the de Zenaro family. A new home mannor with adjoining estate (slightly smaller) shall be built by the remaining de Zenaro, Mother Isis within two years. The land deeded shall adjoin the the once Convent of the Black Madeline and the de Zenaro's shall be expected to extend the city wall to surround this new extension of the city and estate. Again offer protection and sustenance in times of war to the needy. Should this be completed then the deed shall become permanent.
Your retainer is extremely proud that they have managed to pull off this coup for you in your absence.
In addition they have been making headway with the new guard commander that has been promoted to replace Jaak's old associate. Between the two of them their conniving has managed to find a way to accidentally extend the wall a little extra thus reducing how much Isis will have to have built to meet her requirements.

US: Your character came to, remembering that she just slaughtered a village of people while frenzying and she is standing in the middle of it. Has no idea where she is, no idea if she is in her own territories or in some other Dukes or Princes.
She need to figure out where she is so she can plan how to get home.
How would she go about figuring this out? would she stick around the village? ready to be blamed if a mortal military patrol comes by? or the local Vampire lord (if there is one) or a scourge? She could follow the road and see if she can find someone to tell her or a city.
ISIS: Not to sure what to do with the kid cause she has pray exclusion children and I am sure she would want to try and save him or put him out of his misery .
US: The child continues to suffer as Isis considers what to do.
ISIS: (What happens if I make him my childer? Like what would the consequences be? Since I do not just want to kill him what are the rules and who would I talk to after I have done it?)
US: He dies very painfully while you are deciding what to do. It affects you deeply and frenzy again rampaging off into the woods. Days go by in this state. You wrestle with you conscience the beast inside you takes advantage and runs wild. You destroy several caravans and merchants, more children which leads to more confusion and allows the beast to continue having full reign. Part of your mind wonders if this is you are in wasail, loss of control to your beast. But you have conscious thought. Inside your head you are struggling with having let this child die and destroying others, you have short periods of lucidity. Almost as though you are sleep walking but seeing yourself do all this before going back to your dream.
You psyche is fracturing and you begin to develop a protective personality that will shield you from the horrors you are creating. Before this personality manages to wrestle control back from your beast you encounter three individuals standing in a dark night street of yet another small village. Two look so similar they are probably twins a boy and girl that appear to be about 12. The third a old crone.
The Crone simply raises her hand to point a gnarled finger at you and quick as a shot the twins are moving towards you. They essentially swarm you and beat you until you are near torpor and almost out of blood. Then the old woman walks up and draws a thin wand looking thing from her tattered clothing and then sticks it into your chest.
You have been staked.
When you wake an unknown amount of time latter your are help inside a cell.
We will com back to you latter.

ST NOTE: My intention is that she has been caught and turned over to the local lord to be punished for ravaging anothers lands. She will be prepared to be destroyed when Tyr activates his ritual and she is yanked out at the last minute as the headsmans ax falls.

For several months you are held in the cell. Only seen by a few individuals who come to see if you are part of the infernal threat. Argue and try to convince them as you will they do not believe you. After all you destroyed several villages and such.
You are tortured, mind probed and they even attempt Dominate (once) before giving up. This torture and such goes on for several months before you are told that they do not know but that due to your crimes against the Domain and failure to respect it and report yourself you will be destroyed.
You are chained in what you assume to be a old stone well, there is heavy grating covering it and you are near empty of blood. As you watch you can see the sky start to lighten. Knowing it will be soon you can sense the sun is going to rise bringing it's rays to strike you at the bottom of this well. Try as you might you can not break free.
As you see the direct beams of the suns light creaping over the edge and getting closer you are ripped through the realm you initially traveled through when you inserted the gem. Your soul is latched onto and you can feel it almost shredded as something or someone grabs you and pulls you along. There are demons and screams of torment, arms reaching out to grab you. You find yourself almost appearing out of all this into a dark room but just as you are about to appear you become half frozen between this dark realm of demons and the real world. What is worse is that you are frozen there. From the corner of your eye you can see the door to the room slowly opening and someone time slowing down as it freezes in place along with whomever is opening it. You sense there are at least 4 of you trapped here.
You feel a deep dark pulsing and are near blinded as it seems the Northern Lights themselves are playing around the room. There is a massive pulse of dark energy flashing out almost like a nuclear explosion.
And you sense days and nights going by. You can even see the light of day come and go from the partly open door with someone frozen in the doorway. What ever happened has frozen you outside of time. The sun though obvious behind her never quite touches the person in the door. The sun rises and falls over what you presume to be several months. You can see the days come and go but are unable to do anything. What is worse is that during various periods you can see the demons still there. They are reaching and grabbing at you but somehow because you are frozen in time they can not quite get you. Who knows what will happen when you are unfrozen and can do more than "observe yourself thinking" (you feel like you are thinking and can observe and hear yourself doing so but not consciously affect what you are thinking or doing, sort of like when you dream).
