luka saw red, his race? HIS RACE? a people forced to lie about their true power just for to keep themselves safe was no new story to him, this ignorant bastard spills his resentment of what he suspected was only doled out to him and then had the gall to place luka in the same catagory! a small sound like the breaking of glass in a far way room is all that could be heard before the seal on luka's arm broke and all holy hell broke loose

[Pinkie]

She senced the release of power and cringed. "Oh great" She said before running and charging out a near by window. Changing before she hit the ground she grand and gave a howl "Aaawoooooo" Was heard in the now darkness of the forest. She needed to get to Luna she was the only one that could stop the forbording danger.

Mizuki cracked his neck "If you want it that way so be it" He said before he gave a charge towards Luka grabbing and tackling him around the midsection. Mizuki made no sound as they colided with the hard wooden floor under them.

Meanwhile....

She ran as fast as he paws would carry her. Running and running she made it and skidded to a halt infront of a cave. Changing she screamed into the depths of the darkness "LUNA!!!" A deep rumble was herd from the recesses of the darkness.

[littl3chocobo]

the books shook and ripped and the wood underneath splintered, the trees shook and danced and all the galss withing a mile shattered. as they tumbled to the floor luka kneed the other man in the lower chest and pushed from the top of his shoulders to free himself, they both hit the floor. the small anti-votive fell out of luka's pocket and rolled under the bed. luka began to kick ans squirm and pull out of the grip of the other his scarff pulling loose and his shoe being lost in the prosses. with a great tug he came free, he scrabbled under the bed and grabbed the small charm, screaming a song of release he drew out the blood magic inside of it.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki had the wind knocked out of him as he skidded a little ways along the floor. Watching Luka scramble for something Mizuki simply stood. With a growl and a flick of his wrist the wood in the room began to crack and rumble. Then long slender wooden posts formed and jumped out towards Luka grabbing his ankles and arms in swift movements. One raced out and slid around his mouth before the song was finished. Walking slowly towards Luka Mizuki raised his right hand to his face and gave a smile as his claws grew to large points. He was angry...beyond angry. Figuring the only way to get his love back was to kill Luka and start from the begining. He inched forward and was about to strike when a clawed hand grabbed his "Enough" Was the calm voice that flowed forth. Looking to the side so he could dismember the creature that touched his arm Mizuki was about to growl but it died on his lips.

"...Luna" He said softly before the ice around the room began to crack and fall to the floor. His eyes relaxed and became the color they once were. Standing there holding his arm was a dragonoid. A dragon capable of human form. She stood there. Light grey and slate blue scales covered the top of a tail, down the sides of muscular hips and legs leading to clawed feet. Scaled down either arm and covering the sides of her brests and he stomiach. Everything led to white eyes and silverly slate blue hair that laid atop of two twisted and curled horns. "Hes been through enough wouldnt you say" Luna said looking to Mizuki. All he did was nod before his eyes drifted shut and he passed out. Luna simple caught him and held him. Then...her eyes turned to the young male restrained from the wood.

[littl3chocobo]

the wood was spintered badly from both his and the other's magics and dug painfully into his flesh, he felt blood in several spots including his face. he was still angry but this sobered him slightly. his errant magic did not ceace though he was bound but what would have been a killing blow simply put the other to sleep. the dragon, who prolly had saved his life with her timing simply looked at him, she was angry for sure but he could see he would not die by her hands. he did know however left in the splintered and broken embrace of the wood just might, already in the few moments he was there his right arm, the one he reached for the anti-votive with, was crying out in protest at the strange angle it was in and his leg didn't hurt at all which was worrying.

[Pinkie]

Luna looked to Maya "Please...take him to my home and lay him upon the medical bed" She said to the wolf girl. Maya nodded and walked forward talking Mizuki from her hands and leaving swiftly. Luna then turned to Luka and took a step forward. "I trust you when I do this that when I set you free you will not harm me" She said before taking her claws and slicing at the wood that incased the young man. "Now hold still" She said waving a hand over a nasty cut upon his leg she watched as it healed quickly and without trouble "That seems to be the only major injory" She said sniffing the air "Only 22% of blood gone...not bad"

[littl3chocobo]

hearing her words he laughed 'i have no issues with you, though i must admit i've never seen a dragon before, your kind are so rare as to be almost a thing of lore.' he grimanced as she healed his leg, the rush of pain in it's fixing was almost enough for him to want the numbness back. 'we are near no mountains though and are on the wrong continent anyway, how is it you came to be here and in the companey of such a vile man'

[Pinkie]

Luna looked almost taken back "Are we talking of the same man?" She asked him "The Mizuki I know is calm and colective" She said "The only reason he may seem vile to you is because you do not understand his person" She said to him with a little tilt of her head. "The only time I restaine him is when we come accross you" Luna said to Luka.

"As for me..." Luna said changing the subject "Mizuki found me an inch from death oh about...300 years ago" She said thinking back. "My ruler kicked me out of the tribe for befriending humans" She said to him. "I then was throwen out at a young age. Got cought by a group of bandits" She said in a rather far away tone. "During that time the price for a dragons head was about 200 rupils" She said "For a dragonoid...700" Luna said. "Mizuki came right before they finished the job. Killed them saved me and...I have owed my life to him ever since"

[littl3chocobo]

listening to her story he was moved, he put a hand to her shoulder. i am so sorry, your life is nothing i could bear myself. though to answer your question i would have to say no from the sound of it, he has been nothing but secretive and manipulative to me as far as my history with him goes that is his nature' he could not imagine mizuki being the sort to save children any more than he could believe yesterday that he'd be talking with a dragon today


(oh jeez i think the creepy old librarian dude is done putting away books over here)

[Pinkie]

She looked to him with simpathy "Mizuki has his reasons when hes that way and I do not question it" Luna said to him "Being secritive and keeping you from harmfull truth are two different reasons" Luna said to him placing a clawed hand upon his which laid on her shoulder. "Do you know how you were taken from him in the begining?" She asked him. Luna knew that the only way to convince Luka was to tell him the truth. Something which would hurt the man infront of him but it may also shed some light upon a mind clouded with doubt. "Mizuki will not be happy with me...but if it will help the both of you. I will take his anger in stride" Luna said.

((Oh my thats a good thing lol))

[littl3chocobo]

'i do not but only because it was not i he keeps referring too, though i suppose who i thought he was referring to was a lie as well' he made a face at the thought of the false diary' i keep being told i am a dead lover but he is looking for someone i simply am not' he looked up at her and hoped she would believe him 'i will listen to your story but only because you look as if it needs to be told not because i have need to hear it' he sighed and squeezed her shoulder lightly 'just know that ok?'

(yeah but i may have to take 20 to go buy a drink, i am mundo thirsty and have no money)

[Pinkie]

Luna gave a little tilt of her head to the squeeze "I understand that...and I thank you" She said to him. "A long long time ago Mizuki met a young name by the name of Lucus" She said "This young male was a pure shadow in training. Though hidded within him was a power greater then any before seen" Luna said to him "That power one day took control of Lucus causing not only great damage to the young male but damage to everything around or in his way" Luna then looked down for a moment. The tide of memories was washing over her trying to take hold on what ever it could. "After that Lucus's master came to Mater Mizuki and asked him to train the young male. Teach him to harness the energy just as Muziki did his. Mizuki agreed." She said then took a step back watching as Lukas hand fell lifelessly from her shoulder "Lucus and Mizuki grew together...they eventually found love. But something threatened their love. She was called Alexina the dark...a which of dark magic" She said. "She came in search of them for her plan was to take over the country...but with the pure shadows about it was a hard task...taking out the number one and the rest would fall" Luna said to him her gaze traveling up to look upon his face "She found you." Luna said "The two of you recovering from a previous fight was no match for her" She said "You fought...two against one in a heated battle until a well to aimed shot headed for Mizuki" She said painfully "Thats when...you proceeded to save him by sacrificing yourself" With that came a little hiccup of sorrow "She left you to die in his arms Luka" She said painfully "You were taken from him in the most painfully way. That is why he can not let you go. No matter the time he will wait to find you over and over again because you where taken so abruptly." Luna wanted Luka to see the larger picture "Everything Mizuki has done in his life was for you" Luna then looked up to him "On your death bed...you promised him that through time no matter what once you where one you would remain as one. At that you merged your pure white crystal with Mizukis lavender one so you will always be conected" She said.

[littl3chocobo]

luka shuddered at the tale. no wonder mizuki was so desperate to use him, if he had a lover die in his arms he too would prolly try anything to get that lover back. he sighed 'but why me? if he has his love in his charm why not just grab some orphan off the street or some sad soul with no more will to live? why does it have to be me? surly looks would not matter and a name wouldn't either. i have read on the pure shadow conclave, on what they do. body-snatching was what they did well, an incompatible host would go crazy from the combination of two or reject the surrogate altogether.

he looked at her and hoped she could be trusted. 'surly someone like you can see what i am, what is wrong with me' he backed away and opened his arms wide 'my people are not unlike yours. though i am human my blood is not as human blood is no matter how many times it is mixed same as your blood will remain dragon's no matter how many times it is mixed' he lowered them again 'only we and the king himself know this secret. it's knowledge is a death warrant and a guarantee that what he is trying to do will not work. if he tries i will die, the same as if he tried on you. i am truly incompatible' he looked away now. 'you cannot tell anyone of this anymore than i can tell anyone of you.' he flinched then 'that man will wake soon if he is able to, my charm has just expired' he looked around for the little anti-votive with his eyes signaling the end of the conversation

(okie dokie one more move and i will be on for a few more hours hahaha)

[Pinkie]

Luna gave the young male a very sympathetic look "Luka...weather you are or weather you arent I cant tell just yet" She said to him. Walking over to Luka Luna picked up his hand and placed the anti votive within it. "You may think that at times every things against you" She said softly "But, life is full of mystery" Luna said looking up to him "You may never know what the gods have in store for you. All that you need to remember is that it is never more then you can handle" Luna said with a soft smile.

Luna then smiled "well then. Now that this catastrophe has been adverted" She began "How would you like a dragon seal upon that arm of yours. Guaranteed to last" She said with a friendly smile.

[littl3chocobo]

he smiled then, the first in a long time. 'thankyou, it is not what i wanted to hear but it help all the same' he looked at the small curse, it was nothing to him now and the thought of reusing it in the future seemed inappropriate. he gave it back. 'i think i'd like that, and as payment you can have this' he hoped the gesture was not lost. it was not often he conceded to leave a fight unfought.

'though' he asked 'something bothers me' his temporary smile sinking back to a frown 'did he really lie about the book? the other luka's diary i mean' he looked lost.

[Pinkie]

Luna led Luka to a chair and sat him down as she looked at his arm. Listening to him talk as she began to work on his arm. It wouldnt hurt at all but it would take just a little bit of time on her part. Listening and hearing the question Luna stopped what she was doing at looked at him. "The other lukas diary?" She asked him slightly. Then it hit her "Oh my...well I guess this is my fault" Luna said a little baffeled. "When...Mizuki and Lucus where together. Lucus came to me with an odd request" She said looking down his arm to continue her work.

"He came to me and asked for two of my scales to bare the pages of his book. I could not refuse for I loved him as if he were my own child" She said softly. "I gave them to him...then six others to Mizuki for three he had" She said. "So...a little Mix up has happened"
