Decedents of a dragom(Add/Filfire)

On top of one of the highest buildings in River City, Add sniffed the air and looked at the moon slowly rising and smelled something, the sent of a girl, no, not a girl but a almost half-dragon, with the same smell as Sapphiron and Add jumped down and followed the scent as he bumped into a girl with wings, Add looked at her strangely and said,"Shadow Dragon. Is that who you are?" Add put his hand out for a simple handshake trying to see if the girl was really a half-shadow dragon.

Akeya crouched at the edge of the water, her eyes focused on the dark surface which moves as the stream carries the liquid further down the river. Ever since her wings and tail had formed she had felt an increased craving for meat, and strangely enough even though her nose had become more sensitive the ninja felt less reluctance towards the smell of flesh and blood. Probably another way in which she was becoming less human.

Seeing how her travels led her to this village Akeya had decided to try out fishing, something which she had done in the past even though it had been a while. So far her attempts of creating a shadow harpoon and using that to spear any fish passing by hadn't been very successful, making her frown as she focused even more on the black waters.

This focus was what made Akeya only notice the other person arriving when he was already nearly on top of her, making the ninja chide herself for being so careless. If this person was somebody with hostile intentions letting herself be so absorbed by her attempts at fishing could have gotten her killed. As a result of this irritation (aimed at herself) Akeya quickly turned around and glared at the man standing behind her, folding her arms and ignoring his offered hand.

"I am not. I merely carry their blood. Who are you and what do you want with me?"

Besides just not being a very social person Akeya was kinda annoyed at being interrupted and allowing herself to be distracted like that. Besides, who just walks up to somebody else and asks about their true nature?

Add stared blankly until he threw a knife in the water and disappeared from her hold as a shadow and brought it out as he had a fish on it, Add then looked back then said,"I am the Shadow Dragons son, Add, if you may." Add turned into a shadow again and appeared behind her saying,"And if your are who i think you are, then you might be my sister."

Akeya frowned when the man suddenly drew a knife, her feet shifting as she altered her stance in preparation. The man smelled in some way familiar, but she still didn't like his behaviour. If he tried anything funny she'd make sure that he'd regret it.

When instead he threw the knife into the water and turned into a shadow to retrieve it, displaying the fish pierced on the knife Akeya raised one eyebrow, even more suspicious than before although her blindfold and mask would make it hard for the man to notice the change in expression. Did he do that to show off, or to intimidate her? Of course he could also be trying to make fun of the fact that so far she hadn't caught any fish herself. Either way Akeya wasn't amused, even when listening to what the man had to say.

When Add tried to show up behind Akeya he'd find the ninja still facing him, her stance unchanged. He'd have to figure out for himself if she simply turned around fast enough to face him or whether she was using some kind of trick. Her voice stayed as calm and controlled as before as she replied to the strange man, her tail swaying behind her in mild irritation.

"I doubt that. You do not feel like one who has any experience with the dance of the soul. Besides of that you would have appeared in the records of my family if we were related."

Add looked again and said,"Well, when you become a demon you can erase yourself from existence, but if you say so then i won't nag you on for long but before I do that I have to know something." Add took a deep breath of air and pressed his watch as something appeared behind him and a shadow of the shadow dragon appeared and started flying around the girl as Add said,"So, did the antibodies used to keep you from turning you into a dragon stop working or you just have a effect?" Add was interested in everything about the girl and then finally said,looking blankly with his blackened eyes to see through her mask,"Akeya, is that your name? If it is then I may ave a surprise for you."

Akeya's tail moved a bit faster as Add replied that the reason why he might not be in her family records is because he supposedly turned into a demon. That argument annoyed Akeya for several reasons, and she didn't feel like staying silent about them.

"I highly doubt that is actually a common ability amongst demons. Besides, if you claim to be the son of a shadow dragon it is unlikely that you're at the same time a demon."

Seeing Add prepare for something the ninja tensed, not feeling like this man had shown her anything that would give her cause to trust him. When he pressed his watch and the shadow of a dragon started circling around her Akeya eyed both Add and the shadow warily, wondering what kind of trap this could be. Maybe she should just get to a safer positioning instead of waiting to see what he would do.

Hearing the question Akeya tilted her head to the side slightly, somewhat puzzled. Antibodies? No matter, she had to concentrate on the matter at hand. Circling around Add Akeya positioned herself right next to the water at a bit of a distance, close enough that they could still talk but far enough away that her enhanced reflexes should allow her to dodge if he tried anything.

"I have no antibodies against dragonfication in my system. And that may be my name. If your surprise is anything I don't like you'll regret it."

Add tured into a shadow thinking about what she said and murmured,"god, I dont get people sometimes." He started to walk looking back to see if Akeya was following to see her present, and Add 's mind was going blank as he started turning and made a portal appearand nodded to go in,"Just walk in, and theres your present, no trap if you're thinking anything on those lines." Add jumped in the portal and then seeing the temple, he knew it was the place.

Akeya kept glaring at the man in front of her, trying to figure out what this was all about. Looking at his abilities and smell he could be related to a shadow dragon. However he also claimed to be a demon, something which the ninja found rather hard to believe. The claim that demons could remove their existence was one absurd enough for Akeya to have a hard time considering it. Of course there would be magic focused on doing such things, but to say it's a demon specific ability...

And even if he was telling the truth, why would Akeya bother listening to a demon? She was willing to have an open mind, but demons tend to be bad news. She'll need some kind of proof that she can trust this Add before actually doing so, and so far she mostly found him suspicious, especially with his tendency to turn into a shadow and move to her blind spot.

Of course he was offering her a present right now, although seeing how he apparently wanted her to follow him through a portal it could just as easily be a trap. So in the end the question fell down to: how far was Akeya willing to risk herself? That question didn't need a lot of thought before she found an answer. If this was a trap she'll spring it, and then make sure that this guy regretted trying to trap her.

"We'll see."

With that Akeya stepped through the portal, leaving a dark shadow where she had been standing until then. Once through the portal she quickly looked around, never letting the portal out of her sight as she looked at their surroundings. Potential ambushes, locations where one could hide, escape routes... Akeya's green dragon eyes quickly surveyed the place while her mind started laying out plans for what to do next.
