<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #00FF00">The facts about his parents suggest something and I should look into it with Chris...</span></span><br/><br/><span style="color: #0000FF">"Like me? I don't know what you are talking about. I'm not an angelborn. I'm just different from other humans." </span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">"She was an angel-born. You can tell an angel-born from humans through their talents, smell, and aura."</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #00FF00">And Vince's aura is white and gold... his scent is sweet, but not overwhelming...</span></span><br/><br/>Vince just kind of stared at Aki for a moment, then he blushed a bit and continued eating. Chewing slowly as he shook his head.<span style="color: #0000FF">"If I am an angelbon how are my parents humans? Wouldn't they have had to been angels or something?"</span>He asked in a soft voice.<br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">"Angel-borns are wing-less angels born from human parents. It is unknown why this happens, why it started in the first place, and if having an angel-born ancestor increases the likelihood of another coming in the line."</span>Aki finished his food and propped his chin in his hand while leaning forward with his elbow on his crossed knee.<br/><br/><span style="color: #0000FF">"Is it a bad thing that I am an angelborn?" </span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">"Bad, no. Dangerous for you, yes. Many would want you for your abilities to heal, for your talents, for your blood, or for your body. And if you know why people want you and how to control those powers, it'll be in your favor."</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #00FF00">Now-a-days it'd be experimentation, slavery, abuse in all ways, mind destroying, and the occasional miracle work for good...</span></span><br/><br/>Aki glanced over the desk and out at the club for a second before looking back at Vince,<span style="color: #00FF00">"I was a hundred when Angela disappeared... then I met Mirawan almost a sixty years later. She was a light dragon and after many years together she had accepted to be my mate... Chris and I had went to patrol the reserve and catch up with each other... <br/><br/>"When we made it back to town there were cult raiders and we jumped right in fighting with everyone else... When all of the raiders were dead or gone, we did inventory of everything and everyone... None of the bodies were the raiders leader nor did anyone see him, so that was a partial priority... We made it to my house and I could smell smoke and blood... I rushed in with Chris and some others on my heels... <br/><br/>"Mirawan was on the floor covered in her own blood with a piece of cloth in her hand that was the raider's insignia with the leadership stars... I pulled her into my arms and wouldn't let go until hours later when Chris physically and mentally forced me to... It was a hit for the three of us and I don't know exactly who they were trying to get, if it was me, Mirawan, or Chris... I went into shock and Chris killed the leader in retribution... it took me until I had met Dafin when I was three hundred and twenty-four to be able to live with her death...<br/><br/>"Dafin and I didn't end well either, though he only cheated on me with a geisha... Though Chris went and killed them both in retribution... It's why I don't tell him about my relationships anymore, I don't need him to kill them all. Then three years before my four hundredth birthday, which is a big turning point to dragons... Chris disappeared. All of our connections were contacted and a world wide search was started. We didn't find him until five years later... He was amnesiac of everything before five years ago... He didn't remember me or anyone and we took him in and tried to help him while befriending him again... It hasn't been exactly the same with him since because he doesn't remember those few important events, but I love him as my brother all the same... I still haven't had my four hundredth year ceremony because of him..."</span><br/><br/>Aki just spoke and didn't stop until the end, if he did he wouldn't be able to continue. He closed his eyes after saying Mirawan's name the first time and kept them closed even as all the images flashed under his eyelids. He didn't notice the tears slipping down his face, stuck inside the memories of years before that hurt every time he spoke of it, even if time healed it slowly.
