It was dark out and ver quiet. Vanula was hearing voices in his head. It was Shadow. <span style='color:purple'>Dont let it show, Shadow. I dont want her to think im an ignorant slob. So just please keep it secret.</span> Vanula opened the door. The smell of tea filled his nostrils. Shadow was by the kettle and Azulu was inspecting everything. He past them. <span style='color:purple'>I trust you Shadow</span> Vanula set foot in the bedroom. It was bland compared to the rest. It still was unique, but Vanula had a different vibe. He took a book from his pocket and threw his jacket on a chair. He layed on the bed and flipped through the pages. Vanula had always enjoyed reading. It broke all his thinking limits, and allowed him to become someone new in a different world, a whole different world. For a while, Vanula stared up at the ceiling. He soon became bored. He slumbered into the kitchen, to be overwhelmed. <span style='color:blue'>Tea...</span> He took a red and black cup. It was a fine marble, with small designs on them. He sat down and looked to Shadow. I am truly thankful Shadow. You let me sleep in your appartment and, a fine treat, I must say: tea! Vanula chuckled. Odd thing was he wasn't in the mood for tea. He felt more like having vodka. A large cup of vodka. Vanula kept his eyes on Shadow. He overcame an odd feeling. He wiped his eyes. Gee...Im a bit drouwsy. I think I am going to get to bed now. Azulu looked up at Vanula. If you would like, I will sleep on the floor. Vanula got no answer so he headed to the bedroom. <span style='color:blue'>The floor will be a bitch on my back...</span>
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>Sorry about that, my cousin was over for the weekend.</td></tr></table> After leaving the bar they entered the apartment, herself not expecting much, but after the door was opened with magic, she got a different feeling. It was a marvelous place with her favorite colors upon the walls. Azulu decided to stay out of anything they had to talk about and look around. Her hands sid down the curtians as she felt it's silky fabric. She looked back at the two, Shadow had just asked for their names. She smiled brightly and said,<span style='color:green'> Azulu.</span> He said something else, but she had began humming to herself and did not here it. Vanula then something about sleeping together. There was only one bed? <span style='color:purple'> Damnit.</span> She cursed turning a faint shade of rose. She looked back at them.<span style='color:green'> Um... Thats okay, just as long as I get a good night of sleep. If I don't I'll be as mean as demon.</span> she said in a tiring voice. Shadow offered her a hot drink and then joked about his vampiric ways. She shook her head, the coffee had lifted any hunger that she had. Vanula came back in from his thinking, but then went to the bedroom. Azulu merrily looked around, overturning pots, claning up the mess, and then off searching again. Her blush had gone away and her black face returned to normal. She played with her hair, doing it up into little braids. When he returned again he thanked Shadow and said something about tea. She turned back to braiding her hair. Vanula told them that he was going to bed, her optics lifted again. He offered to sleep on the floor, but she said nothing. He headed to the bedroom looking somewhat tired. She looked over to Shadow, braids hanging over her eyes.<span style='color:green'> I'll be going to bed also, and thank you for letting me sleep over.</span> She went over and kissed him on the cheek. Azulu then entered the bedroom.<span style='color:green'> You are sleeping on the bed, I'm sleeping in the windowsill.</span> she said lightly. She climbed into the tan windowsill and shut her eyes softly.
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>WoO youre back!! fwee!!!</td></tr></table> Shadow was surprised when Azulu kissed him on the cheek, she knew what she was yet....., he sighed, <span style='color:red'>if only more people were like that </span>he said quietly as she went off to the spare bedroom, he washed the cups and then opened the alcohol compartment and poured himself a real red wine, sighing again he wandered around the placelooking at the picures of the world and the many pictures of his only lasting friend. there on the wall behind the sofa was three huge frames all of a white dragon in different poses. One with her lying on her front reading his spellbooks, another of her playing with some stray kittens in the garden and the middle one of him and her both with huge grins on hugging, if you looked around you would actually see about twenty other pictures all of her and the odd one with him included aswell. <span style='color:red'>god i miss that face</span> he thought picking up a small frame sitting in the kitchen. <span style='color:red'>my dear ,dear morichai</span> he thought aloud and after the wine soon fell asleep on the sofa, her picture beside him.
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>Whew thought we lost you :lol:</td></tr></table> Azulu quickly fell asleep on the windowsill. <span style='color:blue'>The windowsill, ha, thats a first for me</span> He tried his best to keep quiet as he slipped into bed. But he had too much on his mind. He wasn't ready for a new day. Vanula got up and closed the door behind him as he left the bedroom. He found Shadow cuddled up on the couch, a picture next to him. <span style='color:blue'>Damn, nobody to talk to</span>Vanula was suspicious. He searched the cabinets, and came to a bottle of wine. He smiled, and cautiously took a swig and then put it back. He then went outside. He slumbered down dark alleyways, and aimlessly walked the area. He stumbled into a bar and sat on a chair. Leaning his head back, he asked for wine, red wine. The bartender brought a glass over, and Vanula quickly stirred it and sipped at it. He had voices i his head again. A different kind this time, more of like emotions coming in his head. He moaned loudly, and put his forehead on the counter. The bartender was getting impatient. Wine isn't free, buddy Vanual dug into his pocket and revealed a shell. He tossed it at the bartender. That'll do he said. Vanula took the cup and wandered around outside. He was blinded, and he tripped over his feet quite often. He took flame from his tail and controled it in his hand, stretching it out so it would light the way. He heard rustling in a nearby alley. He peeked around. He was pulled in by a large dragon, and punched in the gut. He clenched his teeth and gasped. He felt his legs buckle, and he hit the ground. Another dragon held Vanula down as the other punched him across the face. Vanula gathered fire in his hand and grasped the mans arm. He screamed, as his arm shot pain. The other backed off and Vanula clawed at him, ripping through his chest and face. A fist hit Vanula in the back of the head. Vanula spun around and hit the ground. He looked up at the blurry figures. He squinted a couple times and then managed to make out the figure. It was the bartender, blood stains in his shirt, and bandages on his face. The little bitch bit me, boss! The bartender laughed and said The little fucker has the tendancy to do that. Vanula was hauled up from the ground and the last thing he remembered was his head being pushed into a brick wall.
Azulu's dream tore away any hope of commuicating with her. First, it spilled blackness into her eyes. Then images animatedly, as if it were real life. She walked down a stoney path, towards a garden. It somehow looked famiular, and it had a certian smell. Home! It smelled like home. Before she could utter a single word of happiness she saw herself swinging gloomily with her head down. She went up to her and sat down on a swing close by. Azulu smiled and put a paw on her former self's shoulder.<span style='color:purple'> Hey there, what's the matter?</span> she asked in a gentle, motherly voice. The little Anubi lifted her head sorrowfully and said in a small high-pitched way, Daddy went to Heaven today and Mommy isn't home no more. Me's have nobody to protect me's. Azulu's past flipped through her eyes and she began to cry, clutching her younger form weakly.<span style='color:purple'> It's okay, I'll protect you,</span> she weeped. Several larger childern surrounded them with hungry grins. Hey look it's the poor little Anubi. You miss your moma? Well, to bad! You've gotta toughen up! The bullies started throwing rocks at them as the dream turned into a nightmere. She woke up, suddenly remembering Vanula. Azulu turned her head over seeing an empty bed. She immediaitly went to Shadow, who was found sleeping on a couch.<span style='color:green'> Quick! Follow me!</span> She rushed back into the bedroom and leapt out of the window landing inside of the fight. <span style='color:green'>Leave him alone, you shit-ass!</span> she cursed publicly for the almost first time in her life. She held her claws up, preparing to strike. They came down, tearing away at the bartender's face.
Blackness and emptyness contained him. He was running to nowhere, on a slender path. <span style='color:blue'> A tunnel...always...ends....</span>3 figures were blocking his path. Almost like a wall. Vanula tried to run through them, but they pushed him off. Vanula was falling, deeper and deeper into the pit. Hands were reaching out and trying to grab hold of him. Its all right, hunny, Ill watch down on...you...in...your.......dreams..........Her face faded away. <span style='color:blue'>No!</span> He closed his eyes shut as hard as he could and screamed at the top of his lungs. Haha what are you going to do, you dumb Nioti? Vanula was a kid again. A large boy had cornered him, pushing him and making a fool of Vanula. Inside, Vanula boiled, his eyes glared and his tail flared. <span style='color:blue'>Im not your fucking toy!!</span> Vanula withdrew fire from his tail and mashed it into the boys face. He started going on a fury, kicking the boy and throwing flame at him. The bully screamed, and watched his life go by his eyes. Vanula continued to beat him, clawing at him and burning his fur to a black char. The corpse was curled up in the corner. Vanula cried and fell to his knees. He cried tears and when he opened his teary eyes, it was night. Vanula held out fire and looked at a compass. He was huddled under a tree in a cloak. Snow came down in buckets. He had seen no face for a long time, now. He heard a movement and made a shield of fire around him. He drew a broad sword and held it out. A little girl was crying, sobbing her eyes out. Vanula was confused. He let down his shield and dropped his sword. He knelt down and put his hand on her shoulder. <span style='color:blue'>What is your name? What are you doing here?</span>She looked up with bright, gleaming eyes. I can't find home... Vanula sighed and stood up, holding her hand. <span style='color:blue'>Its okay, Ill bring you home. Home to where the sun sets and the wind blows fresh. To where you nestle in bed.</span> Vanula led her straight, through the woods, tree by tree. The night was cold, and the girl shivered. Vanula put his cloak on her shoulders. <span style='color:blue'>Its okay. There, now your all wrapped up</span> The girl smiled a shy....cautious....smile. It seemed as if people watched them as they walked. Vanula would always turn to see a figure, hiding. It was as if the forest was havoc when not disturbed. <span style='color:blue'>I never got your name</span> The girl tilted her head. I am all of you she said quietly. Vanula nodded, and introduced himself. She snapped her hand back and said I don't think I want to go back anymore But before Vanula could speak, she dashed away. <span style='color:blue'>Wait! What are you doing? Come back!</span> They snow suddenly stopped and the moon disapppeared. The sun came out and it was the afternoon. He heard giggles everywhere, and a soft chant. You have done a bad, so now ....you get a bad in returns Vanula spun around and held out his sword. <span style='color:blue'>Quit playing games girl, just come out and it will just be all better</span> The little girl appeared under a tree. Vanula stepped forward, but she disappeared. Catch me if you can! The voice echoed on and on. <span style='color:blue'>Cut the bullshit!</span> Vanula fumed, and paced through the woods, eyes sharp and glaring. He he he he he.....silly man! Catch me if you can, and than Ill let you out. The high pitched voice made Vanula clench his teeth. The sun and moon switched night and day every minute. The voices in his head hissed. Vanula fell to his knees and listened closely. He couldn't make the words out. <span style='color:blue'>Get me the hell out of here!</span> The girl appeared again, and approached him. If you catch me, Ill let you go Vanula shot out his arms and tried to grab her but she disappeared. If you dont, you will stay here forever
Shadow jumped awake following Azulu quickly, guess its time he thought to himself as he jumped down into the alley, reaching for where his sword was usually he curesed, <span style='color:red'>Shit My Sword!</span> it was at home which meant he had to transform. He howled an ear- piercing shreik as he began to transform, his skin ripping with the muscles that began to pop through, his beautiful wings turning into a bloody, ragged mess, his fangs began to enlongate and his claws became like the sharpest of daggers, his ice blue tail flame was huge almost the same size as him, and illuminated the alley in an eerie light. he jumped past Azulu going straight to the other dragon, tearing chunks of flesh, he swiped at the dragons leg toppling him over and he pinned him down, he bared his teeth, saliva dripping onto his face, the guy wimpered, knowing that he wouldnt live to tell the tale. Shadow, as quick as lightning tore the dragons throat out and began to feed, only moments later the body was a dried husk...which he promptly ate to hide evidence... he turned over to watch the anubi waiting for an invite to fight, he would feed on the bartender too. the beast in him had decided
She looked at Vanula, who had just fainted. Shadow had decided to join the party by making a gory entrance. The stence of blood made vomit roll into her throat. Azulu prevented herself from throwing up on her friend. Her mind was juggling several things at once, so she sorted out what to do carefully. First, she looked at Shadow who waitedfor her to let him fight.<span style='color:green'> Take care of them.</span> Her usually happy voice had become dark and emotionless. The few remaining followers of the bartender were trying to run away. She twitched her tails dangerously, forcing them to stay. Now that that was done she thought of what to do about Vanula. <span style='color:green'>Come on, there must be something I can do!</span> Then she found it, her Inner Sight lessons. She concentrated deeply within herself, then sent her mental focuse ito her friend. What she saw inside his mind shocked and confused her. Vanula lay on the ground, arms outstretched reaching for something. Since she was only an apprentice, her Inner Sight had some downfalls. Azulu could only talk in Ramanthian, and what ever the rules of the person's mind were she had to follow them. <span style='color:purple'>Bumolu! E'n haja sy halg iyo. Omlatt iyo pyms fums es. E naum, iyo maap ni halg!</span> She pouted, still confused with his odd postion. Then she added, <span style='color:purple'>E kyolp rjemd Thupyf haja, ros ha't cempu roti.</span> Her amber optics now absorbing the surroundings. It was night, and they were in a forest. Vanula had a sword and a sheild. Eveything else she had no clue on. Azulu brushed herself off and stood up, holding her dignity.
Vanula was kneeling down. Buckets of snow were falling down on him and it was night now. The girl was hanging from a branch. You silly man. Look at you. Need a coat? she giggled loudly and leapt off the tree. <span style='color:blue'>Shutup you!</span> The girl stopped in her tracks. Hmm a bit grumpy I see, we will stop that now She snapped her fingers and chanted a slow saying. Loss of courage, loss of soul, say goodbye to all, before you loose sight Vanula gasped. He stood up and staggered forward. He felt his eyes. They were gone, all left were two bumps. He couldn't see at all. Vanula whailed out loud, yelling out in ramanthian. Fhi huba iyo pyma shet bumolu? Fhi huba iyo pyma rup?!? The girl was hysterically laughing. Shutup you!! He collapsed to the ground. All of Vanula's crying was inside him now, more of like his emotion building and building. Vanula took out his sword, and started to stand. Swinging that hunk of metal around isn't going to hurt me, silly Vanula found her voice, and charged, but then her voice was behind him. No use The girl yelled. Maybe there was no use. Vanula bit his lip. I am here because of my bad doings The girl geeked, and told him to go on. For what I have done, the things that were my fault But I can't change it. I can't change the past, you see? The child spoke softly Oh, but you can. She snapped her fingers again. Vanula could see now, her looked up into the bright sun. He was on a grassy hill. Vanula was standing next to himself as a boy. The boy looked up at him, red eyed and furious. Whats wrong, little boy? The boy looked up at him. The bully is making fun of me. He made me get a cut on my arm He cried in his hands. Vanula looked across the field and saw the bully, a lrage figure with black fur and blue eyes. Nobody was to be seen except for then. Vanula got up and lumbered over the grass. He stepped up to the bully, being about 2 feet taller than the bully. Vanula wanted to strangle the dragon and watch him suffer. He wiped away a tear that ran down his face. Vanula clenched his hand tight, and his eyes were glowing. The boy was whimpering. P-Please don't hurt me, s-sir... Vanula was going to punch the kid across the face as hard as he could. He would grow up a new child. Become a new soul, with new interests, new loves, and new powers. The sun gleamed down on them and Vanula heard the voices. He heard them loud and clear now. Let yourself be, go by yourself!!! Vanula bit his lip and sniffed. He stepped back and turned back. He was running now, past his former self, over each field. He didn't look back and didn't stop. He didn't stop running. He closed his eyes and let the wind take him. You've runined it!!![/I] Vanula hit a and the night was still set overhead. Vanula could see again. The girl was standing in front of him. This wasn't supposed to happen! Now Im going to have to keep you here forever! Vanulas eyes shot up and he glared at the girl. <span style='color:blue'>I know I have done wrong. And I won't tolerate it either. My past was once a good memory. And I see my future as being better</span> Vanula took the sword from the ground. He put it to his neck. This time he felt so....sure of things...
Shadow gave what could only be decifered as a nod, quickly he jumped straight for the bartender ripping him to shreds in a matter of seconds he began to feed and if azulu were to look away from Vanula, she would see the last twitches of the corpse, a guttered whisper from the dying dragons throat Fromina.....no...... but he soon became a husk like the other had shadow promplty began to eat the last of the evidence and padded on all fours towards them in his beast form, he whined at azulu, wanting to know what was happening. for the time being he was stuck like this. he sat down like a simple canine would curling his tail round so azulu could see better. he gave a small quiet bark, showing that he was still on their side, in case she was worried.
Azulu watched it, as if it were some weird dream. She flinched at the sight of his blade being placed towards his neck. Her eyes watered and she lashed out at the girl. The childish thing flitted away with ease, only to give a snort in disgust. Azulu drew a small, but sharp, katana from her dress threatening her with it. Her rage had almost consumed her with that she could brake the barrier of Ramathian speech and the rules of his dream. The two tails whipped the air behind her darkly.<span style='color:purple'> Don't ever try to hurt my friends, or else I have to hurt you.</span> Her optics glowed a blood red with furry. She gave it a strike slicing the air. She slightly lifted her focus unto Shadow.<span style='color:purple'> Think deeply and you will join us.</span> Her voice murmured to him. Then she turned back to the girl. Azulu jumped up into the air and hurled herself at the child. She dodged it easily. The sleep she had indured didn't as she became very sleepy. She dragged herself back to Vanula and took the knife from his paws. Looking up at him, she stabbed herself in the chest... Instanlty she was brought back to reality. Her body dropped to the ground as she panted looking back at Vanula.<span style='color:purple'> It's up to you now...</span> She said softly before fainting.
Azulus cold body lay in the snow. She stabbed herself, and the blood was pouring onto the snow, making a red figure. Vanula looked up at the girl. She was sitting on a rock, fiddling with her hair. Vanula focused on her. Teh child was now playing with the dead body, lifting it up the ground and throwing it into trees. <span style='color:blue'>You bastard!</span> Laughter arrised in the woods. Vanula lunged forward and swung with the blade, but she quickly teleported away. She couldn't be defeated. <span style='color:orange'>Shadow, Azulu....s-she can't be defeated!</span> Trying to talk to your friends is useless. Vanula stood up and walked to her. They stood face to face. Her eyes were a plae grey and her long black hair was entwined. The silence was long and akward. Vanulas eyes twitched and the girl didn't move an inch; just the plain eyes stared into Vanulas. <span style='color:blue'>You know...I...I am truly just....</span> Vanula lost his thoughts. She blinked and it made rain. Vanula was wet, and the snow melted away. <span style='color:blue'>I couldn't stand myself. I just....just wasn't right, you see? Everything was great, but I could just not stand myself... I never knew why....I-Its just that I could never understand myself. It was like someone was controlling me</span> The girl giggled, but Vanula continued. <span style='color:blue'>Ive been realizing that my past cant be changed. I can make my future, though. I can sure as hell do that. B-But now this....this lost though has come up and I am stuck in this thought until I realize everything. I-Im sorry....truly sorry....</span> Vanula held the sword in his hand, and he swallowed hard. <span style='color:blue'>....Thankyou....</span> The girl gasped, and her eyes turned black as her lip trembled. She coughed roughly and felt for her stomach, blinking hopelessly. She rest her hand on Vanula's shoulder and a long silence consumed them. The rain stopped and the sun came from the horizon and now the sky was clear, as a warm breeze swept through the forest. The body hit the ground hard, and the corpse lay still, a large blood stain on the ground. The girl looked at Vanula in the eyes, and disappeared. Vanula looked up into the sky, motionless, lifeless....speachless. The swaying trees disappeared one by one, and soon the sun....than the sky...until all that was left was hope.... [OOC]
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>ah shit i was gettin all confuzzled....sorry!!!i'll change this.</td></tr></table> Shadow was shocked when Azulu fainted, Vanula would have to deal with this on his own... he began to chant in his form, <span style='color:purple'>this is going to really, really hurt</span> he thought as he channeled the healing spell into her. She was going to be in a fever for days, he would have to call morichai to nurse them he thought, as he sent her a message telepathically. he shifted Azulu gently onto his back using his wings as a support and propped Vanula up so he fell onto his back, slowly he made his way to his apartment, slowly returning to his usual form, still cradling her in his wings on his back and carrying vanula in his arms he went straight to his room laying them both down carefully and padding through to the kitchen to get some hot and cold water to ease Azulu's fever, and to help vanula should he gain one. he would ask Morichai about inner sight tomorrow he thought as he began to try and help the two for now...
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td> She didn't actually stab herself, it was only in Vanula's dream.</td></tr></table> Her eyes were filled with empty blackness. She didn't dare wake up, although this wasn't the sleep she was used to. Azulu's eyes were usually covered in happy thoughts about her brother. A blurry white figure appeared in her mind. An image from when she was very young. Two childern stood facing eachother. The taller one spoke in a soft, sad tone,"Sister I have to leave, but don't forget me! Or else I can never come back." The shorter one leaped up and hugged him. She started crying, but kept a smile on her maw. She murmured her words over and over again. <span style='color:green'> I'll never forget,</span> she said outside her dreamy state,<span style='color:green'> I promise.</span> Sudden, harsh reality woke her. A terrible headache pounding on her head with a hammer. She moaned loudly enough for them to hear. Flopping over to the side she threw up everything she had eaten.<span style='color:green'> Uhhh...</span> she groaned, vomit soaking into her tastebuds. She lifted her lids, her friends coming into adjustment. She smiled weakly and mumbled a gentle 'Hello.' She wanted to say more and ask for what had happened to Vanula, but her mouth wouldn't move. Her throat felt rough and dry. She squirmed trying to run pleasant thoughts through her head. The hammer hit her again. She snuggled into her cloak, her eyes dropping down again.

He felt gentle hands mending the gash in his head. His eyes opened and he discovered he was in Shadows appartment. The morning sun was rising from the horizon, and the sky was a orangy-yellow. Vanula was glad to be out of his dream. He was glad to be safe now, with his friends. He looked up to the 'dragon stitching his head. <span style='color:blue'>T-T-Thankyou...</span> She looked down and nodded. Shadow came out from the bedroom, his face dark and bags under his eyes, and he looked exhausted. He had towels in his hands and tossed them into the trash. <span style='color:blue'>Wheres Azulu? Is she ok? Is she hurt? Is she-</span> Vanula stopped babbling. The 'dragon finished with Vanulas head and he thanked her. He stood up on his feet, but things were blurry and he was dizzy. He staggered into the bedroom, not letting Shadow hold him back. A fragile, plae body lay on the bed. Vanula tried his best not to wake her as he knelt down next to her. <span style='color:blue'>Dammit, this is my fault now...</span> Vanula whispered in her ear very softly, but just enough to hear: I hope your dreams are better than mine were He smiled and kissed her on the cheek. He left the bedroom to examine his wound. He sat on the couch next to the female and touched the stiches. <span style='color:blue'>Ahh...that hurts like a bitch!</span> The 'dragon pushed his hand down, knowing best not to touch it. He stood up and looked at Shadow, holding out his hand. Thankyou, Shadow, for saving me and for being a friend Vanula grinned, and tried to be as earnest as he could be.
<span style='color:red'>hey its no trouble, it's been a while sinc i had this much excitement, li'm pulling a few chairs and the sofa through to my room, shall i bring one for you? you seem fond of Azulu... and you've known her longer</span>. he didnt wait for an answer and lifted the sofa with ease into the bedroom, placing it down carefully, he pulled a chair next to the bed for morichai to begin her work on Azulu. he came back through to where they were on the second sofa <span style='color:red'>coming through?</span> <--------------------------------------> Morichai nodded and rose from the sofa <span style='color:yellow'>i'm morichai, by the way </span>she said to vanula,<span style='color:yellow'> you're going through to his room, youre not well yet she stated, shadow, fold the sofa bed out in there</span> she knew that he wouldn't settle until he was in the room with her. Vanula followed and set down on the sofa. Shadow went to sit on the seat beside him, <span style='color:yellow'>no shadow you go sleep, i've got enough on my hands already without you collapsing... </span>Shadow nodded gave her a kiss on the cheek and proceeded to the spare room mumbling a goodnight as he went. <span style='color:yellow'>hey well, vanula...what do you do for a living?</span>
Morichai seemed like a nice 'dragon. She seemed very much generous and giving. Vanula thanked her again for assisting them. hey well, vanula...what do you do for a living? Vanula sat up and rested his chin in his hands. <span style='color:blue'>Im a Trail Guide. I help most tourists through dangerous places like the Calamarha Swamps, Gyakusatsu, and wherever there deal will bring me</span> Vanula chuckled. <span style='color:blue'>Me, a Trail Guide? Let alone fighting a brtender, how could i defend a handful of people by myself</span> Morichai looked confused. <span style='color:blue'>Long story, have Shadow tell you sometime</span> She nodded and then helped Azulu. Azulu...Vanula sighed, feeling the pressure on him. She was quite sick, and Morichai did her best to help her. Soup wasn't a good idea, Azulu had already threw up a bowl of that. There wasn't anything Vanula could do right now but sit and wait. He sat back on the couch and said goodnight to Morichai. He closed his eyes. Tommorrow was a new day...
Morichai looked around from azulu to see vanula asleep she smiled slightly and began to sew up azulus' arm, it was a ragged cut, most likely infected she thought a as she poured a homemade anesthetic onto a cloth wiping it clean, stitching up the cut. <span style='color:yellow'>Azulu... </span>she said softly, <span style='color:yellow'>sit up dear, will you? </span>she propped up azulu, even though she groaned she still helped to pull her up, <span style='color:yellow'>here drink this</span>, she put a bowl to azulus lips. Azulu coughed as she drunk too fast <span style='color:yellow'>careful, i dont want you throwing up again, take a sip </span>Azulu complied but passed out again afterwards... Morichai patted her forehead with a damp cloth <span style='color:yellow'>you're heating up a fair bit....</span> <---------------------------------------------> Shadow groaned in his sleep, two new victims were added to his nightmares, <span style='color:red'>i'm sorry....</span> he said out loud. In his dream it was his first victim, a small girl.... <span style='color:red'>GET AWAY FROM ME!</span> he shouted still asleep but still in his nightmare... the girl was not running in his dream, she wouldnt go... so she was murdered...by him. <---------------------------------------------> Morichai jumped when she heard shadow shout, she shot out of her seat and into the spare room,<span style='color:yellow'> Shadow! whats wrong?!</span> she shook him trying to waake him up. he growled in his sleep living in one of his nightmares, he lashed out with his claws, dragging her towardes him, sinking his fangs into her neck feeding although he was unaware. <span style='color:yellow'>HELP! VANULA! HELP!</span> Morichai screamed shadow wouldnt wake up till he had finished, and she knew how that would end out...
Vanula was having a pleasant dream. He was walking along with his brother through the woods. They were going to go fishing. His dream was interuppted by a loud noise and Vanula opened his eyes. Azulu was sleeping on the couch, a damp cloth and drink next to her. There was yelling in the other bedroom. Vanula leaped up and hurried out of the room. It was Morichai, calling for Vanula. He opened the door to the bedroom and was astonished. Shadow was tearing through Morichai. Vanula quickly came in, and took Morichai out of his grasp. <span style='color:blue'>Morichai, get out of here!</span> Shadow was licking the blood off his fangs and was growling. Vanula gathered fire from his tail as Shadow lept up. He made a wall of fire around himself, as Shadow ran forward, followed by a loud yelp. Vanula gathered the fire back in his hands, ready for more. Shadow was on the floor, rubbing his eyes. He was no longer growling, but mumbling a bunch of words, and examining his burnt fur. <span style='color:blue'>Shadow, are you allright?</span> Vanula helped him back on the bed. He would need Morichai to help out again. He left the room and laid on the couch. <span style='color:blue'>He needs your help Morichai</span> Vanula went to sleep again. He would have to go fishing another time...
