Azrial thought of what would be the best way to explain the voice. He knew that it would have been a femaleâ€™s voice and he was sure that was confusing and would be confusing if he simply said it. So he sat thinking carefully. â€œWell, in honesty it was my emotions being brought to a sound. â€œ he tapped his own chest â€œthe sound of my flames. See like humans have auras we have flames that change according to how we feel, and if we ever lose our flames. We die.â€ He thought some more wanting to fully explain. â€œThe voice was of Nicki, my mate. Uh, by the way Nicki was male. But, he was the female of our relationship, so internally he sounded female. He sounded actually a lot like my mother did.â€ He smiled some at that thought. â€œMy mother was very  pretty and had a sweet soft voice, and so did Nickiâ€¦. Um. I heard Nicki as I most wished to hear him. Like he heard me as eh most wished me to hear me.â€ He smiled â€œI hope that helped?â€ he asked rubbing the bridge of his nose.<br/><br/>Azrial smiled knowing he was understood. He also went about explaining that dragons can only change into their true forms once a week and can stay in it for twenty four hours but that it took a lot of food before hand fopr them to do it. He listened as Ray said he was tired and showed him the pond. His eyes lit up and he lifted Ray cradle styled into his arms. Once he held Ray safely he walked into the room with the pond. His feet looking into the water as he sat â€œI will not leave you tonight, or ever unless you ask of me to do so.â€ He stated seriously before held Ray in his lap.<br/><br/>Once seated he began undoing the clothes he had been wearing. His muscles were covered in red and gold carvings all flowing with bright red lava just under the skin. He radiated power and strength. For every item he had ever hoarded he got a rune, and the more runes you had the higher up on the scale you were, and the red marks came from the fights he had won, they would have been black if he had lost any. Three black marks could be seen on his left leg and one on his neck. But otherwise he had over 80,000 gold runes and 878 red ones. These would tell other dragons of his life without words. His hands went under Rayâ€™s rear as he undid his pants and stood holding Ray again letting them fall. As a dragon he wouldnâ€™t understand why not being dressed and touching someone was odd. He sat Ray on the waterâ€™s edge as he walked into the water.<br/><br/>His eyes followed a fish closely as he smiled. â€œI hate eating fishâ€¦ so your safe..â€ he said looking to to his hands cupping water and rinsing his form of the dirt and blood. He froze seeing the blood of his Nicki roll off him. â€œNâ€¦ickiâ€¦â€ he sighed and shook his head. Continuing he cleaned he entire body before standing and getting out of the water, his skin fizzled and all the fluid steamed and disappeared off of him. He scooped Ray back up and went into the room laying ray on floor as he looked around curioysly. He gathered all the small pieces of furniture and piled it into the cornor in a fort like structure a kid would build to hide in. Then he walked and picked Ray back up bringing him into the small fort on the ground. He curled up around Ray and nuzzled his neck gently has his hand rubbed his baby. â€œThank you againâ€¦â€ he whispered before he completely fell into a deep sleep, the darkness destroyed by his flames flickering in his chest.
