The caravan had entered town, followed by their guide, an unusual looking girl with purple hair. She had agreed to escort them to Kialaya village so they could trade their spices, as long as she got some pay, a place to stay the night, and something to eat during the journey and when they arrived at the village. She watched as the traders scattered, crossing her arms as she watched the boss of the caravan approach her.
"Here's your pay, miss. The Inn knows of your arrival and will give you free food and board for the night. We 'preciate you helpin' us and protectin' us from the demons." She took the money and nodded her head, walking away. She had plenty of time on her hands now. She'd wait a few days for the next caravan and guide them to wherever they needed to go.
Yes, this is what she was stuck doing. Her main priority really, was to find the crystal. She didn't care what it was used for, but she wanted to just end the whole matter and get it over with. She had no leads, so she was just trying to get by from day to day.
The woman noticed the temple and decided to approach. She hadn't been to one in a very, very long time. She couldn't even remember the last time she had been to one. She entered, breathing in the fresh air. The temple had an elegance to it, which she respected. She was of no religion, so she did not bother to kneel and pray. She stood there, stairing at the art and statues inside with her violet eyes.
The woman let out a sigh, tossing thoughts around in her mind. She wondered to what religion this temple belonged to, for she had heard of many different ones in her lifetime. She couldn't help but wonder if it was easier to have something to believe in, than to believe in nothing at all.

Rays of golden elegance shined over the lands. The cold hues blended and overtook that of the warm, shoving it's delicate shades into the earth. The blue, and light purples filling the sky, as the ball of fire lowered to a low emitted source of light. Soon Night would fall upon this land, and all it's creatures, evil and good. Soon sparkling lights, that were about the size of you pupil, in your eyes, would fill the sky with it's untamed beauty, and soon, the large moon would rise and look over everything, as if blanketing it with protection from the heavens. It was as if the bright sun, and the dim moon were changing shifts, at this very moment, both looked over them. over everyone, with high quality protection from the terror that sneaks around every corner. On the night of the New Moon, which happened once a month, the moon would not come to it's shift and the creatures lurking in the shadows would reak horror upon the people, and those of that wandered upon the trees, and mountians. But that was light night, tonight the moon was peaking, giving a crescent shapped eye.
As the wind brushed lightly among the leaves, their melody echoed in her ears. The bird's last chip before going to sleep, was followed by the sweet serenade of the crickets below her. Her soft golden locks, were blowing in the gentle breeze, as she laid down on her giant fan, in which soared high in the sky. Cerulean optics stared off into the distance, as she propped her head up with her hands, her elbos on the fan. (She's on her stomach.) A delicately, intricate design was painted on her fan, in which was the Japanese artistry, in which placed the Kaze in Kanji, in which was in a deep hue of blue, surrounding it was little swirling clouds in different shades of blues and purples blending together perfectly. bandages covered over her left eye, in which was the result in picking a fight. With who? That's just going to have to remain a secret, but she has become blind in her left eye because of it, and so remains the bandage.
Wrapped around her body was a simple chinese dress, in which was light blue in color, with no design. And around her neck was a simple chain with a rather large stone at the end. It was fairly oval, and was polished nicely. It was a light blue, almost white color, and inside was a small never ending tornado. Interesting, right? It was almost like magic, in fact, it was. Despite her seemingly human exterior, her interior was that of a dragon sleeping inside the body of a mortal girl, who would never age, and had high senses with her hearing, smell, taste, and sight. In fact, the sense of high hearing came into effect as she heard the simple creaks of the floor inside the temple blow. Her fan stopped soaring and just stopped by some strange force. What wasn't told about her, and is not know by many was that she could control the laws of nature! Okay, so she could only control the wind, and air around her, same difference.
She looked down at the temple with a strange expression. Someone was there, she could sense their aura. The surge of electrcity pulsed through the Air Draco's viens. It was definately someone she was familiar with. Someone who had the same blood she did. The same usual lust, and the same scent. She was a sibling. A Draco. By the surge, she was classified as Thunder. Closing her vivid cerulan optics, she remembered. A elegant violet Dragon scarring the sky with her beauty. An Eldest sister. She opened her eyes, and pushed down on her fan, as she sat up, directing it down to the rundown temple, in which looked strangely deserted. Though she was inside, just...looking. Exaiming, taking in the fresh mountian air of the Temple's being. But as she got low enough, she took hold of the ebony wood of the fan, and jumped off, landing gracefully onto the deck of the Temple's entrance. Holding the fan in her hand above her head closing it, and placing it on her back. The string in which was connected to the fan's ebony wood, was drapped over one shoulder. The weight of the large fan was over 200 pounds, but only 10 to the young girl, who only looked about 16.
She blinked her right cerulean eye, and lifted her bare feet off the moist wood, and glided her way over to her eldest sister. Her hands behind her back, her right hand holding her left wrist. Her sky blue dress going to about her knees, and had slits on both sides, that went up her leg to her hip, allowing easy movement in battle, and short black shorts underneath. Her golden locks feel into her face, framing it, as she landed gently next to her sister. [/size] "Moshi-Moshi, Onee-chan." She spoke, with a soft tone. [/size] "It's been a while....Since everything happened. I noticed that you haven't been searching for any of our other siblings. Is it futile to even try?"[/size] Her voice was not really a harsh question that it was futile for Kuni to try, but for anyone to try in general. She looked over at her sister, seemingly taller than herself, considering her small frame. She was always small, even as a dragon.[/size][/center]

A small young ice Drago, of about 16 years of age, stepped towards the Temple. She could sense the auras of two of her siblings, one of whom she had arrived here with. Eien was the name of the sister she came to this Temple with. The other familiar aura was that of her eldest sister Kuni, or as she and Eien referred to as 'Onee-Chan' meaning big sister in Japanese. She enjoyed calling Kuni this, it made her feel like a child again. Slowly and calmly Yuki headed for the Temple Enterance.
Once inside, she looked around for any sign of her two sisters. She could see them up ahead. Quietly, she made her way over to them "Hello Eien, I decided to come in and see you guys. It's been a while since I saw Onee-Chan though." she said quietly to her sister. She looked over at the figure of her sister Kuni and walked to her side. "Hey! Onee-Chan! I've missed you so much! Both of you." she cried as she threw her arms around her oldest sister.
Now, some would think that Yuki was just a child in a tall slender body, but that was only the way she acted. She enjoyed acting like a child, she found it fun. She released her sister from her grasp and sighed deeply to calm all the excited nerves in her body. She turned around and observed the Temple they were in, it looked so old and rundown. She walked over to the middle of the area they were in and turned her body around as she looked at the place, looking from left to right and up and down. She let her arms fly at her sides as she started spinning slowly "Wow, what an old place..." she said quietly.

Kuni looked as a short girl approached her. She could sense her aura and vaguely recognized her. She couldn't exactly remember her name though. Is that wrong? To forget your siblings from so long ago? Perhaps it is wrong, but Kuni couldn't help it.
"I would not say it is futile, but I prefer just getting through the day and making enough money to live decently."
Kuni heard another voice and again, she heard the term Onee-Chan, which she new meant big sister. She looked over to see another sibling, and before she had much time to react, she felt the younger dracos arms around her. She twitched slightly and stiffened. She wasn't too fond of hugging or touching. She loosened up as soon as the draco eased her grip.
"Um...Okay then. So, what have you two been doing?"
Kuni wasn't good at small talk, specially with people she felt like she hardly knew any more. She found it....awkward. She watched as the blue-haired draco spun in a slow circle, her face emotionless. She missed being like a child. She basically was when she first ended up with her human form, but she learned that to live among the mortals, you had to act your age.

Yuki continued to spin slowly around in a circle, she soon made herself go faster and faster. The room was spinning along with her.
Suddenly, a circle of snow surrounded the young Drago's body and slowly lifted her off the ground. She didn't realise anything that was happening.
She opened her eyes and saw that she was off of the ground and floating in the air.
"Whoa, what happened?" she cried out as she stared, wid-eyed at what she was doing. "Did I make this happen??" she asked herself.
She looked down at the figures of her two sisters "Hey guys! Look at me!!" she called down to them.
Her head hit something hard above her. "Ouch.." she muttered and looked up, only to see she had hit the roof. The wave of snow around her disappeared.
She started falling, she gasped and tried desperately to make the wave return. "Oh man, what do I do?!" she asked herself.
Inches before she hit the ground and small wave of snow caught her and then disappeared making her fall straight on her butt. She rubbed her back and started pouting.

Things are just plain weird, lately. It’s as if no one wants the golden prize! The stone, people! It may be futile to try, considering the Dracos have trouble nearing it because of their dragon soul wrapped around their neck, but if they were smart and traveled with that of another species, then is would be so much easier…Right? Well, Eien thought so. At least, she would have liked to think so. Lately it actually DID seem a little useless to do something that required a necessary, especially since Eien didn’t have the necessary. Kuni and Phoenix on the other hand had what was needed. And yet, Kuni seemed to completely ignore the fact that they had an advantage over everyone else! Cami was an Elf, and was highly intelligent in the art of Magic. She could acquire the stone, and give them supremacy! But Kuni and Phoenix weren’t the type to take over the world. And of course, neither was Eien. She was on the lighter side of the scale, weighing it down on one side more than the other. Which seemed a little easier than trying to continually stay in the middle, in which could sometimes tip the scale. Though most of the time Eien too had trouble keeping her scale even, most of the time, she was on the lighter note, much like Yuki. She seemed so full of life, and never giving up. She was quite energetic, in a good sense. Eien enjoyed her company, and enjoyed watching her with amusement sparkling in her eyes.
Eien paid close attention to her Onee-chan as Yuki wrapped her arms around her embracing her in a sisterly hug that noted she missed her older sibling. Though, Kuni on the other hand seemed a bit uncomfortable, and didn’t return the longing compassion. Kuni was, yes older, and more mature, but she seemed a bit tense around those she had known her whole life. Eien supposed time passes, and time also changes people, even if we really don’t want them to change. But time makes a fool of us all. And with a small smile, that showed signs of sympathy, as Yuki twirled around and around, lifting herself, as snow surrounded her like a snow princess, and feel with an ungraceful thump onto the wooden floor. She side-glanced her elder sister, and shook her head. To get by, and to live life…hardly priorities to live by, as a Draco, though the Dracos had an untold amount to live, and hardly age, she seemed to be wasting life without experiencing it. Eien herself had no money to pay for food, instead, she hunted. It was simple with a weapon, and not to mention able to cook it without fail. Without expenses Eien was doing just fine, and she suspected her other siblings were the same, and yet Kuni lived like a mortal working and sleeping in nice beds. What luxury, and yet, made Eien wonder if that was what she really wanted.
Eien turned her back to the too, and slowly made her way to the doorway. With one swift movement, her body tilted and leaned against the doorway. Her ankles crossed, and she crossed her arms; looking out into the horizon which was mainly darkness, with the occasional chime of the crickets in the shadows. The crescent moon shining upon the lands with no intension of making sure everything was safe. The protection of the world was let down, as the creatures of the night came out to play. The wind chime above the door gave a small jingle as a gentle breeze passed by them, and into the old temple. Eien lowered her head, her cerulean eye looking down at the wood below her. “Kuni…why do you wish to live like a Human; those we detest and those who murdered what was most precious? You live just like them, making money, and living each day as if it were nothing. Y’know… in a way…. you disgust me.”[/size] Eien pushed herself off the doorway, and turned to her elder sibling, with a look of anger burning in her cerulean optics. Her eyebrows furrowed with frustration. “Living a decent life… heh, somehow I doubt that. Everyday, you travel, and travel taking humans places, and then get paid, and then a place to sleep for the night, and maybe a hot meal. But each day, do you get closer to finding that will someday make us whole again? Do you have any fun? Do you even enjoy life? Tell me, when was the last time you saw Cami or even Phoenix-nii-kun? I thought they were your friends.”[/size] She narrowed her eyes. She knew she was way out of line, and that Kuni would find something smart to say, and make Eien seem stupid, but before that would happen, Eien turned away, and walked outside, and pulled her fan from her back, and opened it, letting it hover for a moment before climbing onto it’s material. She looked back at Yuki. “Are you coming, or are you going to stay?” Her tone seemed much nicer, and less bitter as she directed her voice to Snow Sibling.[/size][/center]

The young Drago glared up at the ceiling, clenching her fist and shaking it at the ceiling in a childish threatening manner. She continued to pout as she slowly stood up.
Yuki crossed her arms "Hmph, big mean ceiling..." she muttered under her breath. She sighed and looked over at her two siblings as they talked. "hmmm, wonder what they're talking about" she mused.
She sat back down on the ground and started playing with her fingers humming quietly to herself. She occationally looked over at Eien and Kuni to see what they were doing, but they were always just talking.
This time however, when Yuki looked over she saw Eien leaving. She watched her with a confused look on her pale face, but snapped out of it when Eien asked her something.
"Are you coming, or are you staying?" was the question directed to Yuki. Yuki stood up and nodded. "Yes, i'm coming." she answered and ran over to Eien, who was ready to leave.

Kuni growled at Eien. What was her problem? Did she wake up on the wrong side of bed or something? She watched as he sister went outside to depart. She watched Yuki go with her, but before they got a chance to leave, Kuni had to say something.
"Do you really this is what I want, Eien? This isn't how I want to live! But this is how I choose to! Cami and Phoenix are still my friends! We got split some how, and I haven't been able to find them since, which is why I help humans, so maybe I can find them again! I only ask for pay and a meal because by the end of the day, slaying demons and saving people, I'm too tired to bother hunting. I don't have all the luxury I want. I don't have the freedom I had before. I do this so I can find my friends once again. Although, I will say, it is kind of fun. I get to bother humans, and slay quite a bit of demons and such. But go ahead and leave, you have your own life to live, as I have mine."
Kuni turned her back on her two sisters, the breeze playing with her hair, blowing it infront of her infuriated violet optics. There was something sad about them. Kuni had gotten split from her companions, and hadn't been able to find them. She didn't like the stench of humans, though she chose basically to live like them. She had searched everywhere she could think of for the crystal, but she had not been able to find it, so she decided to search for her friends, which were more important, but she didn't know where to search, so she went wherever the caravans led. She felt like she had nothing since she was split from her group, and this 'job' could keep her mind busy.
Kuni closed her eyes, wondering when Eien would leave her. She didn't like getting off at a bad start with her sibling, and it hurt her slightly. Eien had taken her the totally wrong way, and seemed to have over reacted to the whole situation. Kuni knew she didn't need the beds, but she wanted to blend in with the humans as well. She had a valuable gem, and if someone stupid found her sleeping outside in the woods or something, she risked having her soul stolen from her, and she didn't want that happening.

Eien lifted Yuki onto her fan and looked back at her sibling. Her features softened, and she looked at the old wooden floor below her. She brushed the golden hair from her face as she listened to Kuni speak, she hadn’t left quick enough, but she could tell but the look on Kuni distressed face that she needed to leave. Eien shook her head and looked at Kuni. [/size] “You could always ask for help. It’s not hard to seek me out. I know where they are. I know where they always are. I also love watching Phoenix-nii-kun fall on his face because he’s not as skilled as Cami-chan.”[/size] She let a smile creep along her lips and she looked at the wind chime, hanging from the roof of the old shrine. [/size] “The wind carries. And I hear most anything. How do you think I knew you were here? If you do want to find Phoenix, or Cami, you know where to find me.”[/size] She side glanced her sister, and let the wind carry her fan into the sky, the cool evening breeze blowing into her face, pushing back her hair, as she looked down, her slender hand reaching up to touch the bandages around her left eye. She sighed, and frowned. Looking to the moon, hanging in the sky, and leaned back, her hands on the material, as her elbows locked keeping her upright.
I also bet you’re wonder why she has those bandages. A few years back, before she met up, or even bothered looking for those of the Dracos, she has entered a village, and like an idiot, she thought she was a bad ass, and got her ass kicked. Apparently she picked a fight with a sorceress who knew every trick in the book. In fact, she did, and after the sorceress kicked her ass, they began to know each other. It was strange, and yet it was the first time Eien felt like she was wanted by someone else. Someone found her interesting, and she enjoyed that. But after Eien left the village she didn’t see the girl ever again; it kind of made Eien bitter, which was why she snapped at Kuni. Kuni’s friends were out there, and Kuni was on her ass doing nothing. Though Eien didn’t know sorceresses were capable of changing their appearance, it also made it difficult for Eien to seek out this friend. Also what Eien didn’t know was that this friend was Cami a few years back before she was thrown in Prison for capability of magic to begin with. Neither of them told their name, which was sort of stupid, so neither of them recognized each other when they came in contact. Both Eien and Cami had changed of the years. Cami’s hair was shorter, revealing the black beneath the blonde which was barely visible, and looked just like darker roots when it was longer, and her clothes had changed. Cami on the other hand was not longer brown haired and green eyes.
Cami had changed when in Prison hoping the guards would mistake her and let her go; though her attempts were in vain until she met up with Kuni and Phoenix after being thrown out like a piece of meat to be killed at the hands of Phoenix, who seemed blood thirsty and untamed. Kuni on the other was more of a bitch, and was someone who kept to herself. Over the years, everyone has changed in many ways. Eien however was scarred for life, unable to see out of her left eye after Cami dealt with her so many years ago. It was a brutal accident and it also left Eien a little tense when she was around any type of sharp object. Yes she was stabbed by a dagger that had backfired and flew back at her. It was messy, and left them at odd ends. Cami was only in defense while Eien was left blind. Her eye was healed, but her vision was not. Things may be left better unsaid…
