He had only been on this new land for a couple of days, and he already had two people added to his hit list, the disrespectful shadow magician, Razi. And the soulless filthy vampire, known as Valerie Strong. And he only had met one good person so far, and that was the one resting in the plains. He was a bit far from the forest, flying high through the air before he found his way to the air above the garden. There was some sort of life below him, several this time, he wasn't really sure as of yet if they would end up to be his friends or enemies. There was no in between, that's how it's been for the past couple of meetings. So today he would either make a new friend..or make a new enemy. |

Drake was getting frustrated. This stupid bandit refused to die! He didn't even seem to be an ordinary bandit! Drake was in dragon form at the moment, and finding that he really didn't have enough energy to continue using his fire breath, which didn't even seem to be working. The man kept putting up some sort of barrier to block it! Drake had taken out the others without difficulty, and their charred corpses littered the ground. Drake tried remembering how he'd gotten into this. He had been walking along, minding his own business, when he stumbled across this group of bandits, talking about their next raid on some village, and what they'd do to the inhabitants... Especially the women. Drake couldn't stand hearing what those vile pieces of filth were saying, and had shifted to dragon form and begun attacking. And now he was stuck fighting this guy. Who seemed to be taking no effect from Drake's fire breath. And had a bow. Drake decided to try a new tactic. He dove toward the man, his front right claw ready to go in for the kill. Yes! Drake thought as he managed to score a direct hit on the man's throat. Evidently, that spell only worked against fire. Drake still wasn't sure why a common bandit would have any kind of magic however. Then, the pain came. Evidently, the man had drawn a knife, dropping his bow, when he'd seen Drake coming. This wasn't good! Drake tried casting his healing spell on himself... No, the wound was too deep. Gah, it hurt so much... Drake fell to the ground. He lay there, limp, unable to move. He was still bleeding... Once again, he was not in a good situation. Especially, as Drake now realized, since that last bandit... Wasn't the last. Apparently, one had run away, and was now coming back with axe in hand, ready to take advantage of Drake being completely vulnerable... |

There was some smoke that rose up in front of him as he flew. He stopped, there was apparently somerthing burning. He looked down and saw the burnt corpses of..some type of humans, then he saw a fatally wounded dragon. A normal person would assume that the dragon was the bad entity in the scene unfolding under him. That was one of the things that made Shien-Zen who he is..he does not just assume something. A quick flash with his angel eyes revealed to him what exactly was going on. Apparently, the dragon was the one in the right, and the humans were the ones who needed to be punished. He shook his head to himself..what a weird place where the dragons are the good guys and the humans are the bad ones. He noticed the third bandit making his way toward the dragon with the axe. This was Shien-Zen's opportunity to make his appearance. He tilted his body down, his wings glowing with holy energies and he flew down like an eagle with one of his fists outward. Just before thee bandit could swing at the dragon, Shien-Zen's fist collided with his mouth. The combination of his superior strength and his flight, meaning his body was virtually flying into the bandit's face. When it hit the bandit, the bandit dropped the axe and he was sent flying backwards. Shien-Zen watched the axe spin in the air, and easily reached up to catch it with his hand. He tossed it into the air behind him, and looked over at the creature, his expression showing some concern. "..Are you alright?" |

This was... Typical for Drake to be honest. He frequently got into ridiculous situations... And as illustrated by the fact that he was alive at this point, he always managed to somehow get out... Even if it required that he be rescued. Evidently, even if it required that he be rescued... By a man with six wings on his back and a seemingly holy aura around him. Who zoomed from the sky and punched the bandit in the face. And then tossed the bandit's axe behind him. Yep. A typical day. Completely insane. The angel turned toward Drake, and asked, "Are you alright?" Drake let out a small growl. He was on the ground, bleeding to death. Of course he wasn't alright! Drake tried to concentrate. He needed to shift back to human form to talk. Since he couldn't seem to do it in human form... There was a flash of light, and Drake was in human form again. He was kneeling on one knee, with a huge bleeding cut across his chest. He looked up at the winged man and said, weakly "I'm relatively sure that I'm not okay. I'm bleeding to death from a wound too deep to heal myself from with my current abilities." He then finished, "Thank you for your concern though." Unless this angel or whatever he really was (Drake believed in angels, but had a somewhat harder time believing that someone in front of him actually was one) had a healing spell that could get rid of this wound, or at least stop the bleeding, then Drake was still pretty much doomed. |

Shien-Zen's eyes widened as the dragon transformed back to a human. He raised an eyebrow at the dragon, a look of skepticism upon him. At first he thought he was losing his powers again, and he was being tricked by an illusion. He flashed his eyes at the man, and everything was revealed to him..everything that could be revealed, however. Yes, this person can transform into a dragon and back to a human. Even better, this person walked on the side of light. Now everything was making sense..this guy was trying to stop the bandits. The person answered Shien-Zen. Shien-Zen shook his head..he should have known that, he should have been able to see that wound. "You risked your life for a just cause. For that, I will reward you." His arms spread to the side, and he slowly put them in front of him. His hand made their way together in front of his face, and he bowed his head his eyes closing. He started to say a prayer lowly. If Drake focused enough he could hear. "Heaven's..the body of this being has been damaged for a righteous cause..please, offer your healing light." The clouds opened up above both of them, and a light shined down upon Drake. It shouldn't hurt him, should more likely make him feel a bit better as the wound stopped bleeding, and sealed up. It was not a complete and perfect healing, but it was enough to lower the pain significantly. |

"You risked your life for a just cause. For that, I will reward you." Drake wasn't sure how to react when he heard that. He noticed the winged man closing his eyes and bowing his head. He appeared to be praying... Drake tried to hear what was said. It definitely sounded like a prayer. He was surprised when the clouds above parted, and sent a light down. And still surprised when he felt the pain of his wound lessen, and felt the wound closing. As Drake stood up, he asked the man, who he was starting to think really was an angel, "Thank you for your help. I probably wouldn't have survived without it. My name is Drake, may I ask yours?" His voice was uncertain. Drake had never been that great with words. He actually wasn't really that intimidated by the idea of the person in front of him being an angel for some reason. Amazed? Yes. He didn't really expect to meet an angel. Intimidated? No. Not really. That was how Drake was. He saw this man in front of him as another person. A person who had just saved his life, and had his gratitude. Edited by Drake Aurelis, Jun 21 2009, 11:37 PM.

He looked at the draconic being as the light shined down and healed him. Apparently the heavens agreed with him, that Drake was deserving of the healing. For the first time in a couple of weeks, he smiled. It wasn't a big smile, however, a very soft one. This was the first person he encountered that treated him the way he deserved to be treated..as someone who is in all honesty, looking out for their best interest. He could hear the uncertainty in the words as Drake spoke, and he shook his head, keeping his expression straight, not showing any happiness, nor showing any anger. "Drake, is it? Well my name is Shien-Zen..I am a seraph." He bowed quickly to Drake, thinking that he already made a good friend out of him by saving his life..as he should, so he thought. |

The man was named Shien-Zen, and evidently really was an angel, a seraph even. Drake asked, "Well, Shien-Zen, would it be alright if I traveled with you?" As soon as he said it, he felt slightly awkward. He still didn't know Shien-Zen very well. He continued, "Honestly, mostly I've been wandering, taking out creeps like those bandits when I find them. I don't know, I guess I could use a traveling companion." He then sighed, "and maybe someone to help when I get into a fight. Since I obviously am not always guaranteed to get out unscathed, as painfully illustrated by that last battle." Drake shrugged. "I don't know if you're interested. I wouldn't think I'd get in the way though, I can fly when I'm in dragon form. I don't know..." He sighed again. Even with things like this, he tended to feel awkward when speaking. For some reason, he tended to be afraid that he may have said something wrong, and often wished he could just "un-speak" or something. Well, he couldn't do that, so he would just wait for an answer. Although, even if he could make it so he hadn't spoken, he probably would have just stood there with no idea what to say anyway... |

This was an awkward opportunity, he had a chance to have someone travel with him. This was somrthing Shien-Zen was not used to, most people he encountered did not like him..but maybe that is because most people he met were tainted and evil, and he felt they needed to be punished, so you could probably tell where that went. But this actually went better. "I..I..umm.." He was finding it difficult to answer this dude. While he saw the dragonoid as a valuable friend, at the same time, he wasn't sure if he was ready to have someone traveling around with him..he wasn't sure if he was ready, to have a real friend. It was something he's never had before, and this was an opportunity for him to finally have it. "...Y-you..mean, like..a friend?" |

Drake was surprised. Shien-Zen seemed unsure as well. Drake smiled warmly however, and said, "I'm sure that if we travel together, we could end up being friends. I've been kind of lonely as well, and could use one..." He sighed. Hopefully, Shien-Zen would accept. Drake could use someone to talk to... Or try to. Even though he wasn't good at talking, he enjoyed conversation, and sometimes he did get extremely lonely. It wasn't as if he had anywhere to go. If he tried to go back to the people who'd raised him, (not that he wanted to) they'd likely kill him just because they were that insane... |

He had to rethink things over again. Shien-Zen did not always travel to the most safe of places, and he knew that as of right now, he had a lot of enemies. It would be selfish of him to put Drake in that sort of danger. He closed his eyes..he could not be liable for the death of an innocent, for if he was, it was possible that he could lose his rank that he was created with, and not be able to complete his mission. "Drake..I will tell you up front, I do not have any friends, and I have a lot of enemies as of now. So if you decide to travel with me..you will be putting yourself in danger...are you sure you want to do this?" So..if he could clear the liability for Drake's death, and if Drake knew what he was getting into by traveling with the Seraph, Shien-Zen just might okay it. Drake's very decision could change his destiny forever. |

Drake didn't hesitate in his answer. This was one thing he was sure of. "By my own choice, I often put myself into danger. You saw me fighting those bandits." Drake had a determined look in his eyes, "Danger is not a problem for me. And besides, if you're going into danger too, couldn't you use some help?" Drake then continued, "I attacked those bandits without hesitation. Not for any reason of my own, simply because I could not stand the idea of innocent people being harmed for their greed and whatever other vile desires they may have had." He began heading toward the end of his speech, "You could say I am in the same situation as you. I have no friends, and many enemies. " he gestured toward the dead bandits, "Every single person like them, who do not care who they harm in their greed." Drake looked into Shien-Zen's eyes. "That's all I have to say." |

He listened to Drake's mini-speech, taking every single word and processing it in his mind, and it aided to make his decision. Drake already said he would be joining Shien-Zen by his own choice, and explained that he was similar to Shien-Zen. Despite not being of nobility, or a seraph, yes, they did share some similar personality traits. These were the types of people who Shien-Zen wanted to surround himself with. "So it has been decided, then." He clapped his hands, smiling for once at his new friend. "You will travel with me..and assist me, and at the same time, I will assist you and defend you, because we are both on the same side." He nodded to Drake once, approvingly. |

Drake smiled back at Shien-Zen, and said in response, "Yes, we'll help each other. I don't suppose you have any destination in mind either, do you?" Drake finally had someone to travel with and talk to, and was glad he did. Drake asked Shien-Zen "I was just wandering before. Do you have any sort of destination in mind yourself?" As Drake looked at Shien-Zen, he noticed that in the distance, the sun was almost finished setting. The sky was filled with beautiful colors now. There was red, fading to pink, and even some yellow in there. Drake decided to look behind him, and he saw that the city appeared to be enveloped in night from here. Drake then turned back to Shien-Zen. "If you don't mind, I suddenly just want to fly a bit. I'm not entirely sure why..." A flash of light enveloped Drake, and he was in dragon form again. He began to rise into the sky, and forward as well... Edited by Drake Aurelis, Jun 22 2009, 03:56 PM.

Drake seemed happy with Shien-Zen..one of the things that Shien-Zen was not used to doing..actually making someone else happy. But this person was someone who was similar to him..someone who fought for the same cause, and almost as adamantly as he did. This would be a good thing, to have someone around. Though Drake admitted that he was travelling with Shien-Zen on his own accord, he would still hate if Drake got dragged into a situation where something horrible happened to him. Their friendship would make him fight harder to protect the good and the innocent. "No Drake..unfortunately right now, I do not..let us continue to survey the area together." He watched Drake transform into his dragon from and slowly fly upwards in the air. Shien-Zen's wings glowed, and he steadily rose up with him. |
