Thanx 4 the reviews, here's the next chapter!
Forgive me if it's not good! I should be at school right now but I am ill with the cold:P (lol great excuse!)
" So why did you never tell me of my family?" Drago asked curiously whilst jumping from rock to rock.
Shendu snorted humorously.
" I am surprised that you do not already know of them," he replied.
Drago stopped his leaping and turned towards his Father.
" What do you mean?" he asked curiously.
" Well you have tried to steal all seven of their demons chi's before, I thought you may have realised that they are relatives of yours."
Drago's eyes widened in shock, " What? You mean that Tso Lan, Po Kong, Dai Gui, Bai Tsa, His Wu, Xiao Fung and Tchang Zu are my Aunties and Uncles?!?"
"Em… yes. However, it would be a lot wiser if you learned to put Tchang Zu's name in the list first, he is … touchy about those kind of things." Shendu replied dryly.
Meanwhile
" I can't take this place anymore! Everything is the same, I am losing all hope! I am losing the only thing I truly enjoy! I mean, how am I suppose to have fun flying about the place if all I ever see is a the same boring old scenery. Red skies and rocks have their fun factor limitations!" Hsi Wu complained.
The other demons merely nodded in agreement with their younger brother, all except for Tso Lan, who was the only one to comment on the speech.
" Patience Brother Hsi," he replied coolly.
The six siblings turned to face their wise brother, each with a face of curiosity.
Tso Lan needed no other hints and calmly continued his speech.
" I sense that freedom looms very near".
Just before the demonic family could get excited two figures in the distance attracted their attention.
" What is that?" Xiao asked.
" More like who is that?" Dai Gui corrected.
" Food?" Po Kong added in hopefully.
The figures drew nearer, still they were not seen properly but their voices could easily be heard.
" I doubt it, though one thing is certain, it sure is loud." Tchang Zu pointed out gruffly.
" SHENDU." Bai Tsa seethed, as she instantly recognised the annoying hissing voice of her youngest brother.
The other demons peered more closely at the figures and realised that one of them was indeed their sibling.
It took several more minutes for Shendu and Drago to reach the spot. When they arrived the area was ushered into complete silence.
" Eh… Hello brothers and sisters," Shendu hissed nervously, desperately trying to break the tension.
" So this is the little gecko who thieved us of our chi!" Tchang Zu thundered, completely ignoring Shendu.
Fortunately, Tso Lan butted in before anything serious happened.
" Calm down Brother, we still hold the majority of our powers and thankfully the remainder of our them were found and collected by a relative of ours. Would you not rather that than some foolish mortal control our powers?"
Tchang Zu growled in reply and began to walk away from the crowd, passing Drago on his way.
" You and your pathetic Father are not welcome here kid. We don't associate with half bloods or failures," Tchang Zu warned Drago before leaving the scene.
-----------------------
It had taken a few days to get used to the families way of life but Drago appeared to be coping okay.
That was until Tchang Zu re appeared form his short excursion.
Instantly the eldest demon pulled the young dragon aside and began to rant away to him.
" Okay, first thing is first, get this straight I don't like you. You see, we all observed you whilst you were on your little demon chi hunt… " Tchang Zu began
" Huh? You could see me do that? But you were trapped here." Drago interrupted.
" Don't interrupt me! As I was saying we watched you by using a magical device, we watched how you failed miserably against the Chans. Tch, just like your Father," Tchang Zu continued.
This last comment angered Drago and he quickly retorted,
" HA! You have no right to call either me or my Dad failures, we aren't the ones who have been trapped in some netherworld for over 900 years!"
A burst of lighting struck Drago's chest sending severe pain throughout his body.
" You outta watch your mouth half-blood!" Tchang Zu whispered menacingly.
" Why do insist on calling me that?!?" Drago shouted, now noticing that the other demons, who were sitting several metres away were watching both Tchang Zu and himself.
Tchang Zu turned his gaze towards Shendu.
" You did not tell him?" he asked bewilderedly.
" I…I…em," Shendu began to stutter, whilst some of his siblings began to murmur amongst one another.
" WHY DOES EVERYONE DO THIS TO ME!!!! TELL ME WHAT!?!" Drago yelled furiously.
Tso Lan slowly lifted one of his arms and smoothly, using his levitation powers brought his nephew towards him.
" You are half demon," Tso Lan said bluntly.
"Half? Then what else am I? A dragon?" Drago asked.
" HALF MORTAL!" Dai Gui yelled with pure hatred in his voice. Which was empathized more when he immediately spat on the ground after speaking, as if merely saying the word mortal would disease him.
"It's not true," Drago whispered disbelievingly, turning his head to face that of his Fathers.
Shendu only turned his head away in shame.
"I hate you!" Drago spat.
" I HATE ALL OF YOU!" he yelled and turned away from the group preparing to leave them, his mind was full of hatred and anger, everyone had lied to him, he was half human! Well no more secrets, no more family! He was through with them all!
However, just as he was about to depart a huge violent quake erupted throughout the Netherlands.
Suddenly rips in the sky began to appear and a gust of wind past through the surroundings.
Almost like a hoover.
Drago felt his legs being lifted up form the once secure rock.
He looked to his left to see the other demons who were also being lifted by the fierce winds.
He could vaguely hear some of them through the howling wind.
" Yessssssssssssssss Freedom at long lassst!" Bai Tsa hissed happily.
" Do not rejoice quite yet my dear sister for I fear bad things are yet to come," Tso Lan noted.
And with an almighty swoosh the netherworld vanished and all nine demons were sent swirling and tumbling through the many portals.
What do you think? I am sorry there was still a lot of speaking in this chapter and also not a lot of description but it is hard to describe a desolate demon netherworld :P not much there but sky and rocks!
Anyway, next chapter will be a lot more action filled.
Sorry if this chapter is also short and snappy too!
I assure you they will get longer!
