Chapter 20 - Chapter 20 / the trip for a sea witch

Kiyan was at the base patting himself down like oh shit I just fucking vanished. "Kiyan!" Vesper hollers seeing him with a bright smile with a calm Andras behind her. Kiyan unraveled his huge white draconic wings and flew up to meet her hugging her midflight. she hugs him tightly happy to see him "we need to find a sea witch to remove a curse on your body within 2 weeks" Vesper states to Kiyan with happy cries. Kiyan looked down to Andras stating in a surprise. "I vanished!" "Yes, you can't keep a physical form up their Kiyan. that's why we need to find teeth of a sea witch so you can fully return and yes, she knows" Andras speaks calmly to him. "I can't remember much when I lost form so what happened up there?" Kiyan asked with curiosity. "She learned your full name, who I am, why her mom kept it a secret and what she needed to do to bring you back" Andras explains with Vesper putting a hand on Andras shoulder then kisses Kiyan's cheek. Kiyan melted at that moment from her kiss Andras smirks at Kiyan. " let's head out if you're ready Kiyan" Vesper says with a giggle. He floated down to the ground. "Yeah, let us go Andras." Kiyan states with Andras following him. "We will all have to look human when we get to any towns for safety measures," Andras says with caution in his tone. "Sounds good" Vesper says agreeing with Andras as she lands next to them walking. "I can just vanish." Kiyan suggested it to them.

" That can be an option if needed but I am sure you will freak her out a few times doing that" Andras states as he takes on the looks of a human. "Can you hold a human form love?" Vesper asks Kiyan as she looks human as well. His draconic tail whips like a daemonic one, his wings look spooky even his hands are clawed. "I'll try when we get to town. it's a little too soon for me to try. my energy feels gone." Kiyan states with honesty. "Okay love" Vesper replies while she turns to leave holding Kiyan's hand. "She has an extremely optimistic personality" Andras comments as he walks behind her. Kiyan walked beside Andras "I love it." Kiyan stated with a smile. Andras chuckles and asks, "do you remember were you last seen a sea witch Kiyan" Kiyan thinks for a moment "Literally at sea by these two sharp rocks they were singing the sailors to them, and I found it revolting like gross" Kiyan says in disgust thinking about it. "Then that is where we need to go to get what we need, and I agree it is gross" Andras replies with a look of disgust. while Vesper humming happily in front of them. "Yeah heheheh. " Kiyan looks away mortified. Andras looks at Kiyan " no need to act that way unless a thought popped up about her, that I would not like. the only reason how I know you had a run in with one is cause Hiroshi told me" Andras states to him. "Well, um that is just the thing. you have no desires towards women they will have no effect on you, but once you have a desire. then they can manipulate what you love most. I had to tell each sailor to let go of the ones they loved was the only way to survive it hurts." Kiyan states with pain in his tone. "Fair enough. I used to be that way till I lost Vesper. During that time, I walled myself off" Andras admits to Kiyan with a sigh. "Sacrifice is painful but it isn't forever." Kiyan said as they walked.

"Yes indeed" Andras agreed as he watched Vesper ahead of them. she turns around to hug them both and goes back to walking as a butterfly land on her braid. Kiyan watched Vesper in awe of happy demeanor. "She Is way too pure for this world." Kiyan said aloud. "True she is. But I am sure if someone pushes her too far on certain things, she could be deadly. I do not know if she has had it awaken yet" Andras spoke to Kiyan while wondering about it. "Daemonic blood I am assuming." Kiyan said looking at Andras looking for conformation on his guess. "Yes, but I believe it won't change her much maybe be more bold than normal." Andras informs Kiyan while looking at him then back to in front of him. "You are so full of Pride" Kiyan laughed then stopped realizing he just called the sin lord of Pride too Prideful. Andras chuckles at Kiyan's realization "yes, I am Kiyan as well as it's my job" Andras states with a proud smirk. Kiyan sighed relieved that Andras did not take offense to it. "So, I'm Wrath now huh?" Kiyan asked as they kept walking. "Yes. you can find sinners of Wrath as well as amplifying it to take it as fuel for your magic" Andras tells him. "Wait I have magic?!" Kiyan shouted stunned at the thought of him having magic. "Yes, it's daemonic magic now with your dragon powers" Andras states in a neutral tone. "That is right I have my draconic form now too." Kiyan said recalling the pain with a shiver going down his spine. "Yep, also try to use your sin power here and there or you could lose your sanity. the last one did he was not very amusing in his methods" Andras said sounding annoyed at the thought of the old wrath. "Oh...." Kiyan said looking down now kind of afraid of his own self. "don't be scared it can make it harder to control if you do so. let us see am I miss anything" Andras said tapping his chin thinking. "Probably the fact I have no clue what the powers of Wrath are." Kiyan huffs a little upset. "let's see shadow manipulation, fear, and strength increased when you get pissed off" Andras says informing him. "Oh." Kiyan said clenching his fist a bit.

"Does this bother you?" Andras raised an eyebrow at Kiyan's behavior. "They can be very useful tolls" Andras said trying to help Kiyan feel better. "I have a problem with my temper." Kiyan admits to Andras while looking up to Vesper to see what she is up to. They see Vesper a little ahead looking at birds up in the trees singing. "Try not to lose your temper on her. be patient when she doesn't understand right away. but I believe you will fix it if it does happen" Andras watches Vesper with a gentle smile. "I'm going to do my best. I just fear with my new power it will make that more difficult. " Kiyan admits in a worried tone. "It could hurt you or help you. we will not know till that happens" Andras states with honesty. "That is what I am afraid of." Kiyan spoke as he nodded, thinking. "Tell me about yourself" Andras asked wanting to change the subject. "I was Banished from heaven for my temper, and I have been alone wandering good doer. who would never get into heaven when he dies." Kiyan said shrugging in a neutral tone. "Wow but you still chose to do good. which is impressive most of the ones that appear in hell gave up finding a reason to live on" Andras admits astonished by Kiyan. "I was honestly about to then I met your daughter." Kiyan admitted. "Then it was good fortune you both met. I'm happy you have each other" Andras replies with the sun starting to get low in the sky. Vesper appears in front of them holding bird in her hands with it chirping. "How in the hell did you get a bird in your hands?" Kiyan asked now confused at the sight before him. "It flew onto my hand" Vesper said then the bird flew away out of her hands making Andras chuckle. Kiyan just stares jaw dropped. "I think now would be a suitable time to set camp till morning" Andras states as a smirk comes across his face. Vesper looks at Kiyan curiously. "Right camp." Kiyan said breaking out of his trance then walked away to get firewood. "Can I help set up the tents with you Andras?" Vesper asked, looking up to him, being shorter than both of them, as she held up a tent bag. "Of course, here let me show you." Andras said he showed her how to do the corners then helped her pitch the tent up.

she finishes making the tent she smiles proudly at herself "thanks for showing me how f-father" Vesper thanked him with a smile, He smiled back to her. "Of course, that's what dads are for." Andras said proudly as he started in on the second tent.

"I'm glad to have met you. I guess that is why I felt at ease till the end of the vision" as she helps him with the second tent. "Vision?" he questioned looking at her with concern. "After some time of crying I fell asleep. I saw a soul fighting Wrath and win. I tried to get closer, but a hand stopped me. I did not move until I felt like I was on fire. then I woke from it with mom freaking out" Vesper informs him with a mixture of emotions. "You saw Kiyan fight Wrath." Andras stated with a questioning tone. "That's why Hollow moved. He never flinches like that." Andras said aloud thinking deeply. "But how did I do that? I never had that happen before" Vesper questioned while looking confused. "It's a daemonic thing you're coming into your powers you're of age now." Andras said thinking on what he needs to do. "Did anything else occur?" Andras questioned Vesper as Kiyan dumped an armful of firewood at the camp then walked back off into the woods again. "Blotches of black on my skin a heavy feeling of weight on my head. my mom saying, 'think heavenly thoughts' " Vesper says looking like she is trying to remember more details while she shakily starts to set up a fire pit. "Your mom would try to pull you out of your changes." Andras said sighing deeply. "Are the changes painful?" Vesper looks up scared. "No, they're natural you were born for this unless you fight against it." Andras states with vesper nodding as she seems conflicted in thought "I don't want to fight it, but I'm scared what if I hurt someone I care about or hurt my mate father" Vesper says to him scared. "It'll extremely hard to hurt him Vesper he has powers even I couldn't imagine." Andras says trying to sooth her. She nods hugging Andras. "He is. I hope to be strong to someday. I have not done a lot of combat work, just basics" Vesper says in a hopeful tone. He chuckled at Vesper then patted her on her back. "That's not where I was going but okay. you should get ready for bed dear." Andras replies to her.

"Yes father" Vesper replied as she heads into her tent to get ready for bed then she sits at the entrance of the tent thinking. Kiyan came back with a few rabbits and began to prepare a meal for everyone. Andras had gone to his tent as well, getting prepared for bed as well. Vesper walks up to the campfire pit in a night shirt and pants sitting quietly. Kiyan had started the meal and it smelled good as his clothes ruffled. He was suddenly in black silk pants with no shirt like the wind blew and his clothes changed. "The food smells good" Vesper said as she smelled the food while staring at Kiyan. Kiyan smiled at her. "You're welcome. I should go get ready for bed." Kiyan stated as he walked towards her tent to change, he stopped noticing it had already happened. he slapped his face like an idiot. Vesper softly smiles upon seeing him returning. "Getting used to your abilities," Vesper inquires as she watches the food cook. "They seem to be getting used to me." Kiyan states as he rotated the rabbits on the fire. she giggles "you will find a balance for it" She states to him as she looks away fiddling with her fingers. He walked over, sitting behind her holding her as he turned her head a bit kissing her with force. Vesper kisses back lightly blushing as her heart beats faster. "You are my balance, now that I found you, I wasn't just going to give you up so easily." Kiyan states to her with desire in his eyes. "I'm glad you didn't, I will never give up on you either" Vesper replies to Kiyan with a gentle smile. He kissed her again unable to hold back. He wanted her to know how he felt how he really felt about her. Vesper melts more into Kiyan's kiss and wraps her arms around his neck acting submissive. Kiyan enjoyed this feeling he was having to where he pushed her down more.

Vespers' body follows Kiyan's command while she shivers under his touch with her breath stuttering. He broke away panting saying to her. "I love you" "I love you too" she replied to him panting as she looks at Kiyan lovingly putting a hand on his cheek. He smiles "But your dinner is ready now" he stated lifting himself up. she sits up more stuttering. "r-right" Kiyan made her a plate as Andras walked out of his tent wearing his night clothes. She takes her plate smiling with a light blush on her face. Kiyan gave Andras a plate and without eating he turned in for the night to Vesper's tent. "I guess Kiyan isn't Hungry today" Vesper said while she watches him go into her tent. Andras sits down eating some of the food. Andras took a breath after having a bit. "He already ate Vesper did you not notice the blood on his cheek and across his pants even daemonic clothes changing cannot wash away the taint of blood." Andras said to her before taking another bite. "No, I guess I didn't. I thought it was from him cleaning the rabbits" she admits honestly. He noticed her lips were a little puffy. "And you didn't taste it on his breath?" Andras asked, raising a brow at her naïve behavior. "I-I didn't notice at the t-time" Vesper turns redder realizing she did not think about it. "Well, it seems like he has you wrapped around his pinky doesn't he." Andras laughed as he ate more. "Maybe that is a terrible thing? I would rather him than anyone else I dated before I met him" Vesper states while she takes bite of food sounding upset. "It could be a dreadful thing; he can hide things from you so much easier this way. you can give a little mistrust and see what the real him is." Andras suggested as he took a drink of water.

"Maybe I just don't have a reason to mistrust him yet" Vesper replied as she stopped eating. "Or you haven't found one yet." Andras chimes in as he finished his meal standing up stretching. "Good night, dear sleep well." Andras said he left her with her thoughts as he went to bed. "Good night you too father" she sits there thinking for a moment as the fire dies down, she then goes to her tent to go to rest. Kiyan shifted a bit curling up into a ball like she triggered something because he began to pull on his matted black hair as it began to fade into white. she moves closer to Kiyan with worry touching his face. He pulled back as his teeth became sharper and his hands turning into claws. she whispers, "Kiyan are you alright?" His back arched and he screamed silently as his body began to thrash. "Kiyan please wake up" she tries to calm him down. His eyes open and they are pure red, and he is panting as he looks around sitting up. she touches his shoulder "love what happen in your sleep" Vesper asked concerned "It was nothing Vesper just a nightmare." Kiyan sighed as his hair went back to black; he laid down again wide awake now. "It's not nothing if you're shifting in your sleep" Vesper stated to him while she stays sitting up. "It's fine Vesper I'm fine get some sleep your goanna need it." Kiyan stared stubbornly at the tent wall. "But...." Vesper sighs in defeat. "Fine as you wish," Vesper said as she lay on her side, closing her eyes with her back facing him. He sighed and closed his eyes again. She takes a deep breath and drifts off to sleep. Kiyan soon found a peaceful sleep as well. The night passes into dawn with Vesper not in the tent. Kiyan slept soundly, his back facing up once again. Vesper walks down to a river splashing water on her face stares into her reflection in deep thought. Kiyan woke up and rubbed his face feeling a blood smear, so he headed to the river to wash up.

Vesper snaps her fingers making her clothes disappear then dips into the water undoing her hair to wash it humming. Kiyan began to strip down without noticing her. He sank himself down into the river from the bank. she grunts climbing onto one of the big rocks with her hair covering her lady parts as she summons a brush then begins to brush her hair. Kiyan still had not noticed her presence as he sank deeper in the water, his eyes and nose only above the surface. She accidentally drops her hairbrush into the water. "Dang it" Vesper said to herself as she leaned down to reach it. Kiyan noticed the splashing sound and chills went up his spine as he recognized her voice. she manages to pick up her hairbrush and resumes brushing with light singing. Kiyan gently turned in the water as he looked at her sinking lower in the water. She does not notice his presence as she begins to braid her hair leaving her form bear with nothing covering her. His face became a cherry red color as he gawked in awe. When she finished, she sighs sounding defeated but changes to a happy smile as she shakes the bad feeling away. Kiyan submerged under the water and swam over to her as he felt scales forming over him as he swam towards her. She looks around hearing movement in the water but does not see anything around her as her feet dipped into the water. Kiyan froze seeing her toes almost hit him. he slowly resurfaced beside her. He sees she has not noticed him being there as she stretches seeing she looked untouched with the only mark on her skin is their tattoo. With a careful soft wet fingertip, he touched her tattoo fascinated by it. she shivers at the touch then turns to see why sees Kiyan touching her tattoo "Ummmm morning" Kiyan said blinking pulling his hand away from her body. "Morning." Vesper quicky said as she jumps into the water embarrassed trying to cover herself "how are you this morning" Vesper asked embarrassed. "Admiring the view if you want me to be honest." Kiyan said right before he sinks up to his nose again.

"There's not much to look at," Vesper replied while she looks away feeling self-conscious turning red. He swam closer to her and held her by her waistline. "You're my mate and I find every bit of you satisfying to see." Kiyan complimented as she blushed at his words. "t-thank you love," Vesper replied as her hand lays on his bare chest. His chest rumbled as a deep growly purr escaped him, his eyes widened as it continued, while he had no control over it. "That's a beautiful sound you're making" Vesper complimented as her hand moved to his face. His eyes lifted slowly from the water to meet hers, he blushed, "I can't help it." Kiyan admits to her. "it's ok love I understand that. but if something does bother you, please tell me OK" Vesper tells him as she slips out of his grip to kiss him. He sunk under the water, now literally melting from her kiss. She dives down to him to bring him back up to the surface with a smirk. He was smiling goofily, his body still purring from the contact. "I think we should get dressed on the bank ok" Vesper suggests with a smile as she swims past him. "I'll wait here." Kiyan said way too nervous to show her his package so soon just yet. "Okay love" she replied getting on to the bank waving her index finger in the air. Clothes appeared on her wearing a button up shirt and pants with her braid up in a bun. He watched impressed. "Umm do you want me to keep my back facing you?" she asks with her back facing him. "No, it's alright." He said climbing out snapping his fingers he was fully dressed in the daemonic suit attire it was the first thing to come to mind. She turns to see him in his suit her jaw drops "wow" Vesper utters impressed. "Umm yes, it is my daemonic attire." Kiyan said pushing his wet hair back making it slicked back. "Looks great on you" vesper said as she started to walk. He turned redder as he followed her. They reach camp with Andras outside stretching. Kiyan's nose was bleeding lightly. Vesper turns wiping his nose "are u alright?" Vesper inquired about him. "I'm fine." his voice cracked a little. She looks at Kiyan "tell me please" she pleads with him. "I promise I am fine." Kiyan said holding his sleeve to his nose as he walked past her to help Andras pack up camp.

She cleans off her hand walking over to help them as well. Packing did not take long as they set out again. They continue heading down the path and at midday they make it to a small town. Kiyan stopped taking a deep breath as his natural appearance returned. They see a good number of people as they walk through. Kiyan tries to avoid bumping into anyone. Vesper walks ahead of them bumping into someone falling backwards but the stranger catches her just in time. "You should really be careful my doll" the stranger says as Vesper looks up at him "Hiru?" Vesper asked with disbelief in her tone. "Long time no see Vesper. I see you out of heaven. we should try dating again like old times" Hiru grins being flirty while holding a strand Vesper's hair. "I can't Hiru. I'm on a mission" she says with mixed feelings. Kiyan flinched as he turned looking for Andras thinking the old man got into some kind of trouble. You see Andras turning, looking in Vesper's direction with an annoyed look. "That doesn't mean we can't have fun though, I missed you" Hiru says sounding honest. "I said no" Vesper said getting angry. This Kiyan felt like a stab to his side he turned feeling her anger. He walked towards her, his body embracing the fury she is giving off. He felt it building up not knowing who it was just that he needed the anger he wanted to go off on someone. Kiyan sees a slender built man with short black hair flirting with Vesper while he is holding part of her hair. His own anger flamed twice as harshly as his shadow warped into the daemonic form he was in as he stepped closer. It began in his boots. His daemonic form began to show climbing up him with each step closer he took. Andras follows behind Kiyan as Hiru looked up at Kiyan "can I help you sir" Hiro says not fully caring as he stares at him blankly still holding Vesper's hair. In an instant moment, his daemonic form rippled all the way up as he had gripped Hiru at the neck. Kiyan lifted him up with no mercy in his own eyes. Andras and Kiyan see Hiru's eyes change to daemon ones "Kiyan please relax" Vesper pleads as she touches his arm hoping to calm him down. He shoved her back behind as a new wave of anger overcame him, seeing his eyes become daemonic sent him over the top. "Wow Wrath pushing women around. If she were mine again, I would show her a fun time" Hiro disappears from Kiyan's hand standing in a safe distance. "Your real cocky today Hollow" Andras says annoyed as he puts his hand on Kiyan's back calming him down. He took a deep breath. His form fades off a little while Vesper hugs Kiyan's arm. Andras looking unamused speaking to him. "Why are you here Hollow? Why are you trying to mess with my daughter, his mate" Hollow blinks for a moment then it dawns on him. "Wait she's your daughter" Hollow laughs hard "and I got to kiss her more than him" Hollow continues laughing.

Kiyan's hand was curled in shadows as he made a fist looking at Andras. Andras looks at Kiyan nods to him with his fist he swings at Hollows face. Kiyan fist followed in the same movement they struck at the same time sending Hollow spiraling into the side of a wooden building as the wall busted, he fell through. Hollow gets up and smirking "if Gluttony didn't hire me to kill Vesper. I would go another round with her and bang her good" as he licks his fingers Lustfully while taunting Kiyan. Kiyan's Wrath form ripped free again as he walked up not giving a shit any longer as he grabbed the daemon by the shirt sending him flying into the gravel at Andras's feet. Andras looks at Hollow pissed off grabbing him by the ankles swinging him back and forth till Hollow laid their gasping for air " he's all yours Kiyan" Andras states bluntly as he wraps his arms around Vesper keeping her out of harm's way. Kiyan walked over looking down at the boy. "With pleasure" Kiyan's jaw unhinged as his body crackled becoming partially draconic his skin ripping and tearing leaving holes of tattered flesh as he bit down on the little daemon and began to shred him apart eating him alive in his own diabolical state. Vesper hides her face in her dad's chest. "Vesper when he's done you need to use normal state spell ok" Andras whispers to her she nods into his chest. He finished the daemon, his body crackling as he collapsed, he vanished his body too exhausted to keep physical form, so he appeared as himself but a ghost laying in the street. Vesper snaps her fingers making humans think it was a bad bar fight and they appear by the docks, and she collapses from the lack of energy. Andras makes them all appear in an inn room under the name of Iro. He lays Vesper with Kiyan on a bed together and he sits in the recliner taking a few puffs from his pipe. Kiyan's ghostly appearance had spots of black in it swirling about. Pride sighs tapping certain points on his skull calming his sin side as Vesper opens her eyes tiredly.

Kiyan was nothing but a ghost beside her as she woke. Andras sits back in the recliner waiting patiently while he has an orb appear in front of him. Kiyan remained a ghost as he woke up his body quivering as he sat up. "Take it easy Kiyan and focus" Andras commands as the orb disappears from his hands. Kiyan focused on regaining his physical form falling back into the bed. He leans back looking out the window to see if there are any other angels or daemons nearby. Kiyan's eyes drop he seems he may go back asleep. a feather falls in front of the window as Andras falls asleep. Meanwhile on the roof of the inn two angels sit above watching over the town searching. Abaddon sat looking down at the city. "They had to have come through here nothing leaves blood splatters that big and calls it a bar fight." Abaddon said to Orphius stunned. "True they couldn't have especially if your sister used the spell, it always drained her when she used it in training" Orphius states remembering her training. "I'm just wondering what made a mess like that no elf could do that." Abaddon asked bewildered. " Well werewolves and daemons are the most common for that. but I do not understand why they would head this way" Orphius suggested the ideas. "Don't ask me I've never seen an elf much less my sister has an adventurous heart." Abaddon says bitterly. "Did your mom have an issue with her wanting to be adventurous" Orphius questioned as he looked around. "Yep." Abaddon said scanning the area with him. "Why is that and they couldn't have gone too far her energy still indicates she's here in this town" Orphius states as he thinks.

"We will find her how hard could it be to find two guys traveling with my sister." Abaddon speaks with sarcasm in his tone. "Probably not hard since she can stick out in a crowd some being, she stayed only in two places all her life." Orphius replied with a matter-of-fact tone. "Where should we stay?" Abaddon asked while he crossed his arms. "Probably disguise us as humans and rest in the inn here" Orphius suggested to Abaddon. "Sounds good." Abaddon flew off the roof top to the ground as he landed, he folded his wings in to look like a human. Orphius flies down doing the same looking human walking into the inn. They check in under Orphius and head to their room for the night one room below the very people they were hunting for. "How do you feel on this situation Abaddon?" Orphius asked as sat in a chair. "I feel like sleeping is wasting our time here we should have found her already." Abaddon replied pacing around the room. "True you got any ideas how to spot her or draw her out of hiding" Orphius asked wanting to find her sooner than later. "Um no I do not, how would I know maybe if you acted like a sexy bad boy, she might like that." Abaddon said blowing up a bit at Orphius. "Well that I would not expect from her, but I could try" Orphius replied putting his hands up in surrender. "Well, she is hurting from a love loss. be her knight in shining armor to catch her fall I guess." Abaddon suggested while he looked out the window. "Okay we will look more in the morning. I am sure humans will get suspicious if we are active late at night" Orphius states calmly reminding Abaddon. "Yes, yes." Abaddon replied then flopped onto a bed. "We will find her and bring her home" Orphius reassured him with Abaddon nodding going to sleep. Orphius closed his eyes resting till sunrise, Orphius gets up leaving the room to go look around for signs of her. Abaddon went with Orphius, they searched through the town and stopped near the damaged pub building. "Here's a start." Abaddon says with a sigh.

"Indeed" Orphius replied with the two help the patrons nearby to get information about what happened as well as who was around at that time. "Let's go in already." Abaddon said dragging Orphius inside the building. Orphius chuckles at Abaddon's impatience following him in. Abaddon starts to ask for information hunting right away. Orphius starts talking to a few sailors for information. Abaddon was talking with a group of thieves. Orphius approaches Abaddon in a calm manner. Abaddon looks up at Orphius "What's up?" Abaddon asked Orphius "Got some info on who we are looking for is still in town even though the sailors were a bit drunk. how about you?" Orphius whispers to Abaddon. "You realize that's the same information we had last night right Orphius? start a fight and win then these guys might talk." Abaddon suggests frustrated. "You know I normally abstain from fighting. but if I need to I will" Orphius whispers back then fights one of the thieves fairly winning in the end. Kiyan overhead during the fight slipping out of through the bar. Kiyan slips by unnoticed by them he heads back remembering which dock to go to when he gets to the room. "Andras?" Kiyan called out. "Yes Kiyan" Andras talks softly as Vesper has not woken yet. "The angels there here." Kiyan said quietly, getting closer to Andras. "Then we need to move fast. do we have a ship to sail on?" Andras asked while he tried to wake Vesper, but she just rolls over thinking someone wants on the bed. "No, I'll have to fly us." Kiyan said looking out the window with dread. "Will you be able to maintain your form without ghosting?" Andras questioned in concern while he gets Vesper awake, and she sits up yawning. "I will have to." Kiyan said, while he looked at Vesper slowly waking up.

"I sure hope so. Angels cannot maintain flight over ocean water for lengthy periods of time" Andras informs him with concern in his tone. Vesper stands up rubbing her eyes "is it time to go?" she asks tiredly as Andras nods to her. "Alright let us go to the harbor. " Kiyan said leading Andras and Vesper lead to the harbor while keeping a low profile. Andras slinks to Kiyan "how close were they" Andras inquired while he keeps a sharp eye on Vesper. Kiyan, Vesper, and Andras take back streets to a desolate abandoned ship port. "Okay we are out of view Kiyan" Andras states looking at Kiyan. Kiyan nodded. "Alright wait here" Kiyan replies as he drove beneath the waves of the ocean in port. Vesper and Andras wait patiently for Kiyan to return while Andras keeps a look out. Kiyan reached the bottom closing his eyes meditating on shifting to his draconic form. Vesper looks out to the town feeling like an angel is nearby. "Vesper!" Abaddon shouts as he comes running after her. "Stand down angel she is with me." Andras growled moving to his side away from Abaddon. "No, she needs to return home now!" Abaddon yells angrily at Andras. Kiyan resurfaced from the water he peeked over the dock hearing the commotion. Kiyan sees Andras hold Vesper against him with an angry angel yelling at them. Kiyan swam back under as his body rippled shifting as he burst from the water his wings snapped open, he roared at the angel. Abaddon backs up startled by the sudden appearance of a dragon. "Who in the fresh hell are you dragon " Abaddon demanded an answer from Kiyan. "I am the sea guardian and you angel are preventing my blessing of passage." Kiyan played his ruse well as he landed on the ledge his tail submerged and he opened his wide maw roaring at Abaddon his breath smelling like blood and rotted flesh. Abaddon face cringes at the smell. "Blessing of passage to where?" As he fixes his hair when Kiyan finished roaring at him.

"When those needing to cross the sea and have lost all hope in finding a ship or boat, they seek me out and I fly them to their destination. but only for a price to be given back in return." Kiyan's body coiled as he leaned lower to Abaddon's level. "What kind of price?" Abaddon questioned as he stares at his sister with a what did you sell look. "Their souls, belong to me souls of the sea." Kiyan said eerily, slightly leaning back giving Abaddon some space. "Vesper are you insane Why the hell would you do that " Abaddon yells at Vesper making her shrink behind Andras shaking scared. "Her soul is mine. leave now before I decide upon my next meal having feathers." Kiyan's voice became a low growl warning Abaddon to back off. "You won for now dragon. But I will bring her home one way or another. " Abaddon replies to Kiyan backing away from the dragon. The dragon curled around his prize and waited for the angel to leave. The angel leaves in a huff. "Kiyan?" Vesper asked touching his scales. Kiyan's head turned to face Vesper; he gives her a nod. "Umm where do we sit, or do you hold us in your claws" she asks looking at his dragon form. He lifted Vesper up onto his back then he placed Andras behind her with in three angled leaps he was air born flying low over the water. Vesper looks out at the ocean "wow so beautiful " Vesper said aloud with Andras chuckling. Kiyan is silent as he is focused on flying. Kiyan flies for some time then spots a bunk of boulders with large spikes sticking in the air with small signs of movement around it. He landed a fair distance away in the water causing a splash as he swam, he extended his wings to help him float soon it was smooth enough to walk on his wings. Vesper slides gently down to one of his wings " how are you feeling Kiyan?" Vesper asked while she felt exceptionally light on his wing. "I'm tired" Kiyan admitted with a large yawn. "No doubt" Vesper replied while she pets his wing as the get closer and can hear a sea witch.

Kiyan's tongue flicked at Vesper; they could hear the songs beginning Kiyan got wary. Vesper giggles as Andras tenses as he hears it too. A sea which appears on the rocks Kiyan's head lowered into the water as he grabbed a mouthful of water swimming dangerously close to the sea witches. when he notices Vespers eyes glazing over, he spat the water out like a hot water gun at the sea witch forcing them to stop singing. The sea witch stops singing and turns facing the group " oh looks like I caught the attention of an angel" as she looks down at Vesper. Vesper blinks a few times then puts her hand on her head still slightly dazed. "You dare try and I promise to make your death painful. " Kiyan said, his gaze narrowing. "Awwwww a protective dragon. how cute I am surprised you are not affected by my songs" the sea witch said acting hurt. " It took practice. " Kiyan growled out annoyed. The sea witch chuckles " awwwww so touching and what would that make her? your cute little plaything?" the sea witch questioned while she acts flirty to Vesper. Vesper is confused with a look of hurt. "If she was, would you feel bad you missed your last chance to have me?" Kiyan chuckled deeply lightly taunting the witch. "Oh, but your here now so that means another chance" the witch sends him an air kiss. "I think it's a little late. but I tell you what I will give you something you desire a kiss for a few teeth." Kiyan bartered with her. "Oh, really why would you want teeth" she stands up and moves so Kiyan has room to get on the large boulders as she adjusts her skimpy outfit. while Vesper looks annoyed but stays quiet.

"It's for my father." Kiyan said shifting in a swill of shadows to his human form with his black hair. "You look familiar to me. you have changed some have not you" she smirks with a devious smile on her face. Vesper and Andras are near the edge of the rocks a safe distance. He ran a hand through his hair, and it became its flaming red that she remembered. "Hiding your true self now are we Kiyan. do you not trust your little rage doll maybe I should curse her as well." The witch threatened vespers life. "Maybe we should keep this between us and us alone" Kiyan suggested to the witch she hums thinking. "Very well Kiyan, I won't touch her" the witch promised as she leans closer to Kiyan in a flirty fashion. He placed his arm around her waist then leaned in slow kissing the witch deeply. As they kiss the aura around Vesper grows dark and black veins appear on the ground. Vesper appears behind the witch in her daemon form and pulls her away from Kiyan. she flicks her wrist decapitating the witch making the teeth appear into a bag in her hand. "He is mine not yours," Vesper spoke in a low possessive growl. she lets go of the head lettings it falls to the ground but, does not look up from the dead witch's body. Kiyan just stood frozen and partially mortified at the site before him. Vesper's gaze moves from the body to Kiyan holding her head freaking out at what she just did. Both of her types start fighting for control while she continues to panic, she collapses to her knees crying out black liquid.

"It hurts" Vesper cried out not knowing what to do. Kiyan's daemonic form ripped loose as he stepped closer lifting Vesper up into his arms cradling her "Shh my love it's going to be alright." Kiyan tries to soothe her after some time passes, she calms down looking human again with black stains on her face "h-how I just snapped, and I killed her" Vesper stated scared as Andras walks up cautiously. "You became angry that was my fault and I admit that. Though to see such hatred in such an instant it was pleasing." Kiyan said with the Wrath sin in him coming out a lot in that moment. she blushes and shivers to his words "are you sure love? sorry I panicked" as she held up the bag of teeth in her hand. "You did that faster than I would, but you made a lot of enemies in doing so." Kiyan said gently to help her understand. "The other sea witch's" Vesper replied looking down slightly scared. "We should head out and return home," Vesper says while she weakly gets up. "No don't move yet I'll carry you." Kiyan said stepping out onto the water standing on it like it was glass then he looked at Andras. "Andras, can you fly?" Andras nods, taking flight above them. Vesper pouts at Kiyan but knows he is right. "it did feel empowering when I took on that form," Vesper admits with Kiyan looking down at her. "Hold onto me tightly" Kiyan informs her while he starts to walk. she nods, holding onto Kiyan, closing her eyes bracing herself. Kiyan began to run on the water his once white draconic wings ripped free jet-black colored in his Wrath form. She slowly opens her eyes looking up at Kiyan with Andras right behind Kiyan. Kiyan glides through the air holding her close to his body.

"Did I do ok? that was the first time I killed someone that was not a daemon" Vesper asked while fidgeting with her fingers. "You did fine but don't panic next time it makes things more painful." Kiyan states bluntly focused on flying. "o-ok you felt it didn't you" Vesper inquired Kiyan while she looks ahead of them, they pass by the town now flying over the forest. "Yeah, it's still lingering too." Kiyan replied honestly while banking hard to the right to dodge a bird. "Sorry I didn't mean to love," Vesper spoke with the feeling of guilt wash over her. "You meant every bit of what you did Vesper it's called jealousy." Kiyan stated bluntly as he flew. Vesper sighs " I should not have lost it. I am stupid for being jealous" Vesper said upset with herself. "Why is it stupid? I am your life mate seeing me with someone else should hurt. it hurt every bit of me to do what I did back there, but I was trying to prevent from doing what you had done." Kiyan explained it to her as they could see the mountain is within their sight now. "I see that now after I did that. I still have a lot to learn about everything" Vesper replied smiling seeing the mountain close by. Kiyan faulted a bit in flight, but he soon steadied himself. "Is everything okay" Vesper asked as the base of the mountain comes more into view "I'm getting exhausted." Kiyan admitted as he sank lower to the treetops gliding above but just barely. The ground reaches the base of the mountain. "You should rest when we land" Vesper suggests as He flies up at least halfway where they had made camp once before in the small cave. He set Vesper down his daemonic form fading away no sooner than he landed his wings vanished with him wobbling inside. Andras lands sitting just outside the cave. Vesper slowly helps Kiyan get inside the cave. He took a few more steps before vanishing entirely.
