The train rounded a bend and the stretches of trees seemed to go on forever. The girl's head laid on the arms as she stared out the window in awe. Ten long years and she was finally back, but this time she couldn't go back to the Human World. She wondered if ending her life was worth it. Being able to come back to the world she loved was great, but at the same time she was cursed to a damned soul. The train chugged on and the world passed her by. They were like images on a canvas except smudged and smeared by a little child. The girl's eye couldn't quite catch the details of the nature that was outside the train. The clearing suddenly disappeared and opened up onto the vast ocean once more.

The sun gleamed, and its streaked rays upon the water as if little spirits danced to the gods. The clouds were scattered above the ocean giving the sun places where it could peak through. In the distance a looming island floated. Unknown was the name of the island to this girl but a peak of a castle poked out from the side of the island. The rays of the sun painted the castle in brilliant colors, and set shadows to other parts. Trees lined the edges of the great palace, and a small villages were located at its girl could imagine a variety of spirits bustling through those villages. She could only dream of the other kinds of spirits that resided there. Small objects swirled in the air around the looming island.

The island looking unseemly peaceful from a distance, but she couldn't figure out what those objects were. Two of those objects seemed to collide and twirl in a ravaging dance. The girl watched and turned her body to look out the train window. She propped herself to face the island as her hands pressed against the window. She wondered what they could possibly be. One object jerked against the other and fell towards the water. The other object darted towards the ocean and the sun glinted off something on its back.

'Wait those are...'

The train banked back into the tree line and the ocean disappeared in an instance. Smeared trees passed before the girls eyes and she slumped back in her seat. The black girl hung her head and sighed. Those two objects had to be what she thought they were...

'Dragons'


The young man walked over the bridge out of the bathhouse with his fists clenched. He couldn't rid of that feeling in his stomach knowing that he missed a human. He was a strong powerful god being weakened by the thought of a mere human.

The young dragon eventually found his river after the girl left. He was so happy that he had found his river that he went away for months on end tending to it as if it were his child. He spent hours purifying it and talking to it. Soothing it, telling his river that everything was going to be alright, and no human would ever hurt it again. The river was apart of him as any spirit was linked to something of their element. The river seemed hurt though when he went to tend to it each day. It told him something was missing; that he himself was missing something. The dragon told the river he was fine and he was glad to have grown the river up again.

Days passed and he didn't understand what that abnormal pit in his heart was. It grew and tackled him with each frightening day. This feeling scared him because he couldn't understand what it was. He really didn't understand it now, but he knew it had to do something with that human he saw ten years ago; the one he formed a special bond with. The human was coming into his mind now as he crossed into the outskirts of the bathhouse where the spirit food shops were. He hung his head and walked.

A voice in his mind seemed to echo throughout his head and he wanted it to stop. It pulled at him and reeled him in. The powerful dragon grabbed his head and tried to make it go away; make that evil vision of the damned human go away. The voice called once more and said...

'Go find her...'
