He felt the slight pain just as she had each lick of the flames
that echoed through the air and bit on to the slight skin that
towered through her body. His body shot up at the echo of the
pain and his eyes shot towards her, he reached out and took her
wrist lining her hand lightly before him and breathing outward
his fire dancing along the skin of her hand licking at the
wounds and making the scorch upon her hand fade, the fire was
cool to the touch and didnt burn, he wrapped a white bandage
around her hand and smiled. His words slipped forth once again
his eyes remaining on the wound.
"Be careful we cant have you injured or hurt, I dont want to
have to kill the fire now do I?"
A slight chuckle left his lips with a small wink, before laying
back down his eyes closing once again, his hands returned to
folded behind his head. For a second his breathing was quiet and
small, each second passing by slowly. He sat up after a few
moments, and for the second time tonight his body changed into
that of a dragon, his eyes closing and his tail curled around
the entirety of the cave, his breathing was small and the fire
itself faded, his voice projected through the cave but was still
rather quiet.
"You are welcome to lay on this body it is rather warm and
comfortable but other than that I have no blankets and pillows I
was expecting to be in the castle but of course something
happened so we have to improvise, and of course we need sleep,
as much as I enjoy the talking."

Echo looked up at him, gasping softly as he took hold of her
hand. "I- it's not that bad." She said softly, watching as he
healed it with the cool fire from his lips. She moved her
fingers slightly beneath the cool flames, feeling as it got rid
of the pain. A soft smile touched her lips. That was incredibly
magical, and it amazed her. She laughed softly at his words,
shaking her head. He seemed very protective of her, but she knew
it was because she was to be the new elder, and she was his
responsibility. She looked at her hand for a few more minutes,
just reveling in the fact that it was healed now. She looked up
at him when he spoke again, jumping a bit not that he was a
dragon. She had been so enamored with her hand that she hadn't
noticed him change.
"Oh, thank you. Will you be comfortable that way?"
Standing up from where she was sitting, Echo walked up to him
and looked over him for a moment. After simply standing still
for a moment, she reached up and pulled herself up on his leg,
and then up on climbed onto his back like she had before. He was
huge, so it wouldn't be hard for her to find a comfortable place
to sleep. He really was warm, warmer than she thought he would
be. A smile touched her lips, and she laid down on her side
against his back, yawning softly.
"Goodnight JD. Sleep well."

Sleep well JD
That was the last words he heard before the woman herself fell
asleep on his back, his breathing was low and his eyes remained
closed though he was not asleep in the slightest bit he simply
watched the opening to the cave, he watched as the moon itself
faded and disappeared amongst the ground only to be replaced by
the blaring sun. Sleep had always eluded him and for now he
would be awake, in a matter of seconds his body had become
smaller and the girl rested in his arms, he sat her lightly upon
the ground in front of the fire, a small blanket covering her
small frame before he himself stepped out of the cave and into
the opening morning air.
He yawned lightly and looked out into the sun waiting for her to
awaken knowing when she does the days activities would begin, he
would have to begin the training today as much as he hated to
say it and the girl would know, what mythical beasts feel like.
He took his hand and ran it along a dagger he pulled from his
side allowing the blood to drip from the wound into a small
goblet, he held the goblet to the sky and growled slightly
before pushing a small flame over the blood, after a few moments
the fire faded and JD sighed. The most hated part of the ritual
was the consuming of his blood.
He stepped back into the cave and looked once over the sleeping
girl lightly running his claw through her hair, admiring the
Elders choice he hoped that like the Elder before her the blood
did nothing harmful to her body. His eyes closed and his lips
parted a small smile coming to his lips before leaning down and
whispering.
"Echo, its time to wake up, we have to get todays activities
started"

Echo slept well that night, her dreams filled with magical
creatures from the stories of her childhood. She slept with a
simple smile on her face, feeling completely safe in his
presence. She didn't even stir when he rested her on the ground,
she simply got herself comfortable and drifted back into her
dreaming. She was still unaware of the tasks she would have to
perform in the coming days. She would learn, however. She only
stirred slightly when he spoke to her, his voice breaking into
her dreams. She could feel herself waking up, and she didn't
want to. Yawning slightly, she opened her eyes slowly, looking
up at him as a soft smile formed on her lips.
"Good morning." She said softly, sitting up. She wondered
faintly how she ended up on the ground, but she didn't care that
much. Stretching her arms above her head, she yawned again and
shook her head. "What are we doing today?"
Her eyes came up to meet his from where she sat, curious about
what they would be doing. She was aware that her training was
already different from the others, since they were essentially
in the wrong place because of what had happened. Looking down
slightly, she saw the mark on her chest and ran her hand over
it. So it had been real, and she was glad. Her eyes returned to
him, awaiting his answer.

She awoke from the nice dreams she was having that was the first
of the few good signs, he sighed lightly before plopping to the
ground and holding the goblet out to her, the goblet was a
golden color with rubies lining the outside of it, the liquid
inside was a dark crimson color that seemed scorched by a flame.
It had a sweet smell to it and was thicker than normal water. He
sighed lightly and stepped forward taking a knee in front of
Echo.
"Good Morning, Echo dear I hate to jump right into training but
I need you to drink this but im not gonna beat around the bush
this is my blood, dragon blood, it does different things to
people and the Elder that you have is slowly dying from it thats
why i am here earlier than I am supposed to be. You have a
choice to drink it or not if you dont you cant go through some
of the training until you do."
His eyes were still on hers and waited until she took the goblet
from him before stepping back, and watching waiting for her to
drink it or tell him no. Either way he would be waiting, each
second would pass by in his gut waiting to see if the blood
would tear into her like the other Elders or if it would be
different like everything else she has done. His eyes closed and
more and more he waited counting down in his head. Awaiting her
answer and her actions to see if she would or wouldnt take those
chances for her village or would she turn away..

Echo rubbed her eyes gently as he began to speak, her hands
dropping when he began to talk about training. He was being very
forward about it, so it must have been important. Her eyes moved
to the goblet, lingering there as he explained what was inside
of it. She bit her bottom lip, thinking it over. She would have
to drink it at some point then, she didn't really have a choice.
The thought of drinking blood didn't really appeal much to her,
at all, but she knew there were going to be things like that in
her life that she couldn't control. Reaching out, she took the
goblet from him, holding it between both of her hands.
"Alright." She said quietly, looking down at the thick, crimson
liquid inside. It looked like it would be hard to swallow, but
it smelled like it would taste good. She tilted her head a bit
and then looked up at him for a moment. She was still thinking
it over, though she knew what she was going to do already. She
was afraid, she wasn't going to let herself be afraid. Closing
her green eyes, she brought the goblet to her lips and tilted it
back, feeling the warm liquid slide between her lips. It didn't
taste badly and it was surprisingly easy to swallow, so she
drank it all before pulling the goblet away and licking some of
it from her lips. Her eyes opened, and she looked over at him,
setting the goblet down.
"What now?" She asked softly, wondering what affect it would
have on her.

When the liquid passed her lips, it would take a moment to
settle each second seeming to last a moment, each countdown in
his head. He stepped forward, and took her hand the goblet
kicked over and as if pulled in some random direction the scene
around them changed becoming dark for a few seconds, it was a
cold darkness a lonely one but yet the both of them were here
but it would seem as if she was alone, the sound of cracking
pierced the darkness and the faintest of light pierced the
fragile darkness like the sunrise on the horizon. JD knew this
day better than most and even had remembered it since the very
day. His Birth. Staring down into the egg was the four pairs of
eyes that would only be recognized as momma and papa for years
or so he thought.
Slowly the darkness faded, and instead fire and brimstone
replaced all that was once a home two warriors staring down at
each other, one had long onyx black hair scars cutting along his
upper frame and blood tearing down his body like a waterfall.
The emotion of rage, wrath, anger all rolled into one lined
those sapphire blue eyes, swinging the sword downward the man
cut the tip of the sword into the injured one on the ground and
ripped it through, blood shot from the wound and into the air
covering the ground in the crimson colored liquid. The warriors
blue eyes shifted to around him resting on the area where Echo
and he stood.
The memory faded and they stood before a door, though this time
Echo was alone, standing in front of the door was a cloaked
figure, his crimson red eyes glaring from beneath the hood to
stare into the emerald ones of the girl, his lips curling into a
smirk fangs peering beneath the cold darkness almost easily
showing his true nature to the girl, he stepped forth holding a
bony hand outward towards her, his hand had no skin and the aura
about him was dark and cold behind the door guarded something JD
kept hidden far below the surface of his own mind, the figures
smirk remained even as the thoughts passed through Echo's mind.
"Do you wish to seek the knowledge the elders before you have?
If so simply take my hand and you shall see the darkness that JD
himself hides and then to the real world you'll return with the
knowledge you have found, just know what hides behind this door
is the memories of JD when he was in a dark place, blood and
gore hide behind this door and you will see JD in a state you
have never or will never see him in again. Do you still wish to
pass?"

Echo felt the affects begin to take hold and she caught a final
glimpse of JD as darkness ensued upon her. Even though he was by
her side, holding her hand, she felt alone. Her eyes moved
around the darkness until a crack of light appeared. Looking up
into it, she had the urge to step a bit closer, her heart
racing. It was exhilarating, but she didn't know why. Then she
saw the four eyes peering in and she gasped softly, knowing then
this was a birth, his birth. She tilted her head slightly just
as the scenery around them changed, casting them out of the
darkness to a place that, in some ways, seemed just as dark.
Looking around, she saw the two warriors, one standing over the
other. She bit her bottom lip, recognizing JD almost
immediately. She watched as he plunged the sword into the other
man, blood coming forth from the wound. She felt sick to her
stomach, which was made even worse by those blue eyes coming to
rest on her. She blinked and it was almost as if it triggered
the scenery to change again, but this time it was only a door
and another figure before her. His eyes struck a little bit of
fear into her, and she took a small step back from him. And then
his voice broke into her mind and she shook her head, as if it
was an intrusion of the worst kind.
As he explained what the door held behind it, her eyes lay on
the ground at her feet, though there seemed to really be no
ground, only darkness. Slowly, she looked back up at the figure,
seeing the bony hand held out to her. For a moment, she only
stood there, looking at that hand. She wondered what she would
see behind the reaches of that door, and if it would change her
views of the man she had only just met the day before.
Swallowing softly, echo reached out, placing her hand in the
figure's gently.
"I do."

The two hands met as a form of contract, the man faded becoming
a form of darkness and the doors parted opening slowly, to
reveal a blood soaked arena bodies surrounded a warrior, the
warriors hair mangled and wild blood seeping from the ends of it
and dripping to the ground, streaks of gray through each strand.
The warrior was lost to some sort of rage and held a woman in
his claws, blood leaked from the entirety of his body and from
her neck his breath was heavy, warriors lined the walls of the
arena arrows pointed downward at the man and the crowd now
falling silent. He squeezed his hand tightly and a snap rang
through the arena, the womans body fell limply to the ground.
His body shifting around to reveal the crimson glare within his
eyes.
"Warriors of the coliseum, this is the great JD our new champion
the champion of the pits of hell, he now has the chance to
escape. LETS MAKE IT HELL!!!"
The voice faded and the crowd of people smirked and leaped down
filling the arena with warriors and demons of all shapes and
sizes, JDs eyes closed and a small breath passed between his
lips, all was silent for a moment, his eyes slowly opened and
now, replaced by the crimson color was a golden tint of his
dragon eyes. He stepped forward and swung his hand outward. A
hand wrapped around her wrist and pulled her into a strong hug
hiding her eyes from the massacre that takes place in the
memory, his voice now ringing out to her small and soothing.
"Trust me you dont want to see that part of me, that was my
death the first time I died, I was angry and uncontrollable,"
His hand lightly stroked through her hair, keeping her held
close until the images faded and they returned to the cave
surrounded by the fire, dusk creeping up on the horizon, he
sighed lightly still holding onto her like a protector or knight
of a princess. The blood still coursed through her veins and he
knew soon she would start feeling the effects of whatever the
blood gifted her, and from what he could tell she could be the
first to achieve more than one power since she was the first to
see into his memories.
"My job is to protect you seeing that memory would only seem to
hurt you in the slightest I paid my sins for that massacre and I
dont need you seeing it to be hurt by my down bringings and the
sins of my life."

Echo stepped closer to the door, placing her hand on it. Her
emerald eyes gazed upon the memory before her, seeing first JD,
as he was before, and as he would never be again. Pursing her
lips, she watched the scene, all of the blood making it hard for
her not to start shaking. In that moment she wondered if she was
too weak for this, if she could handle it all. Still, her eyes
did no leave the scene. It was as if she could not look away,
stuck watching some demented fairy tale. Then the crowd began to
converge, and the man that she hardly recognized did not move.
She could only guess what would happen next. She was frozen,
unable to move, unable to make herself look away, but just as
the memory reached its peak, her wrist was grabbed and she was
pulled away from it. Sounds of the memory served as a backdrop
to his words, calming to her ears as she closed her eyes. She
was thankful to him for pulling her away, and she placed her
hands against his chest, trying not to listen to what was going
on in the background.
Even as the sounds faded, and she could feel the familiar air of
the cave around them, he did not let her go. It was scary, the
things she had witnessed, and she trembled only slightly against
him. She felt so small, so fragile, and for the first time she
questioned her ability to go through with this. He spoke of
protecting her, and it seemed that was what he was doing now.
Still, after he spoke, she pulled away from him. Her emerald
eyes moved to meet his golden ones.
"Thank you." She said softly, pushing her brown hair behind her
ear. "I'm glad that you are no longer that way, and that you
have changed. And I would not want anyone else to protect me."
She still felt a little sick, and she placed her hand against
the wall of the cave to steady herself, sighing softly. Her
green eyes dropped to the floor, and she closed them. "Do you
believe I am capable of this? That I am strong enough?" She
wanted to know what he thought, thinking that it might do well
to reassure her. She didn't want to feel unsure or frightened.
She wanted to be brave and do this for herself and for her
people. She just wasn't sure that she could.
