Michelina
**She looks down** "I was crying, then animals started to nuzzle with me and the you appeared..." **She looked back up again** "But I really think you are the guy from the folktales that's been told to me as a little kid"
Linda
? **He was very confused by this folktales situation** Idk what these folktales are... As for the animals... It would be due to the scent of my feather... Or rather me since i've lived here for quite some time and many of the animals know me well **He nodded a bit too her**
Michelina
**She looked confused at him** "So you live here in the forest...?"
Chris
|| basically he said dont get ahead of urself lady the animals aint here for u theyre here for me, loser
Ona
|| Arioch is a disney princess confirmed
Linda
**He nodded** This is the only home i've known... And the animals are the only family and friends i have currently besides the memories of my parents...
Chris
|| WAIT... Does arioch wind up dating raven

|| is this ur big brain idea
Jeremy
||that's smth qaysar would say no arioch
Chris
|| IDK GOTTA CANCEL OUT ALL POSSIBILITIES
Jeremy
|| Is qaysar already jealous of arioch?
Ona
|| now this is an interesting subplot
Chris
|| qaysar is in pain he cant process emotions rn, just anger rn

|| yk a subconscious in the form of someone who died who u feel guilty abt isnt rly that great
Jeremy
|| Pls- if u made qaysar throw a teenage girl tantrum fight against arioch it won't work
Chris
|| he wouldnt fight him
Jeremy
||Varm/qaysar is jelly of arioch they think raven is gonna date arioch
Chris
|| rn hes an injured person, nowhere near his full physical strength, and bc of his hallucinations and pain killer addiction he doesnt have his full mental warefare abilities either

|| not true, to me making them break up is just the best way i can put qaysar through more pain without it being just physical pain
Jeremy
||~~deffo not cuz qaysar has been sorry to say but an asshole to raven~~
Chris
|| the only thing he did that was harmful for raven was accidentally kill her brother which she is also responsible for
Jeremy
||dirty brother killer
Michelina
**Her look changed into a sorry look** "Well why haven't you just moved into a kingdom? To get friends and a real home?" **Her look changed back to a bit of a confused look**
James
|| I'll have to go to class now
Linda
.....My parents were killed for a simple act of loving one another... Why would i openly want to leave this safe isolation life when ik that outside people only see me as a rare beast... Just wanting to kill me or make profit out of my existence... What do you think people would do if they saw the folktales you speak of are true?... Do you not think they'd try to take me...
Chris
|| fun fact, qaysar would see arioch as a rare species that deserves to be safe from hunters n stuff

|| so hes not evil like u seem to think
Jeremy
||I never said he's evil i just said he's an asshole with his communication with raven
Chris
|| HE SENT HER A LETTER EXPLAINING HIS REASONING FOR THE BREAK UP
Jeremy
||mhmm and it was smth he could've talked to her abt
Chris
|| cant, blame his dad for his inability to express emotions directly in conversation
Jeremy
||Im not gonna blame his dad for every issue he has
Chris
|| ok but a therapist would say most those issues exist bc of his dad and then further experiences in life only amplified it

|| but then again hes never been to a therapist

| but then again KAHLO DOESNT HAVE THERAPISTS
Jeremy
||......Kahlo has doctors... Preeeetty sure they have therapists...
Chris
|| not according to qaysar they dont
Jeremy
||Are you a therapist? ☕
Chris
|| according to a lot of my friends, yes
Jeremy
||show me ur certification
Michelina
"Yeah... Knowing the people of Kahlo, there would be some that would try to take you, but how about Aegis? It is filled with demons and angels? So I don't think you would be as much of a outcast and special person? But I'm not that sure, I don't really know anything about Aegis tho..."
Linda
**His eyes glew furiously as his wings perked up, just mentioning that accursed land annoyed him** The land which had ended my mother and my father... For loving one another... You want me to call that place my home?... **He glared at her as she felt an ominous presence behind arioch**
Marguerite
**He'd walk out behind arioch towering over the two with his head lowered by arioch's side, he did not know who this woman was but his original master told him to take care of the boy and he was going to make sure he would do so no matter the threat**
Chris
|| arioch should meet qaysar, he would give him a safe place to live... UNLESS THIS IS WHAT THIS IS ABT!
Jeremy
||we'll find out as the story progresses
Chris
|| I TAKE THAT AS A YES
Michelina
**She tries to apologise while he is talking, but without success** "Im- Erm- Sor- Hel- I Didn- Sorr-" **Then suddenly a big beatiful dragon walked up behind him, it was beatiful, but looked really dangerous and deadly, she again started slowly taking steps backwards while she apologised** "Sorry, I didn't mean to... I didn't know.."
Linda
Hm- **He calmed down raising his hand** Ah- forgive me i got carried away... That place... Is a touchy subject for me to talk about...
Marguerite
**Noticed his arm as he changed his forms**
Roy
**He slithered up arioch's arm resting around his neck** Hisssss
Linda
Forgive me for becoming excessively angry at you... **He bowed a lil he was quite well mannered for a person who's lived away from society in a forest for a long while**
Michelina
"Yeah I'm sorry, I didn't know" **She watches the dragon turn into a snake** "Wow, what is that creature? I've never seen one like it"
Linda
He's a dragon... He's not from this forest rather he's a unique species my father tamed... His name's euricle..**He sat down near to the pond as he looked to her** Well go on im curious about you... Who are you and what caused you to come here... Did you get lost?...
Michelina
"Oh okay, cool!" **She sat down aside him" **Well as I said I'm Raven Apatow, the sister of the former ruler of Kahlo, now the aunt to the king" **She then prepared her to tell why she is here** "Well, my boyfriend broke up with me and I needed some place to take a deep breath..."
Linda
Ahh... I see im sorry to hear that... **He just realized that she was royalty** Wajt are you here to take me because im not going anywhere.
Chris
|| HAHA IM ARRESTING YOU LOSER! - Raven
Jeremy
|| ._. Raven at her current state would rather send knox to end qaysar
Chris
|| yk the fact that u all hate qaysar for breaking up with Raven means I have succeeded at what I wanted to happen

|| succeeded in making qaysar make a decision so stupid that if this was a novel all the readers would despise him for it
Michelina
"No, no!" **She looks up at him** "I would never do that, people gotta have freedom to be who they are, I just think it's cool that you are who you are"
Linda
Cool?...That's a first someone's called me cool?...Usually it's freak... Or thing or the nephilim...
Michelina
"Well I thinks you look cool, I wish I was unordinary, I ain't that recognisable" **She hears the word "Nephilim"** "Nephilim? What does that mean?"
Linda
It's a word the government of aegis made to group me... As im not an angel nor am i demon so i belong to neither

Honestly being ordinary and recognizable is good in some cases... After all atleast you don't need to sleep with one eye open thinking about how at any moment a bounty hunter or a myth-hunter will come to hunt you down like a wild animal... **He lowered his head feeling upset**
