Hello fellow readers! Enya's POV
I hope all of you having a good week so far. I'm glad that you guys like Little Fire and I love the reviews. Enya and Shendu have a shipping name thanks to a fellow reader!
Shenya!
Now on with the show!
"So Enya what did you get Uncle?" Jade asked me as we waited for Jackie to return home from the Netherlands with the Dog Talisman. Uncle's birthday was today and Jade and I planned a small celebration for Uncle, who I knew would be down in the dumps later.
"It's a secret kid" I answered Jade as she turned on the radio. I winced at the Hip Hop music blaring from the speakers. Jade started to dance around when I growled and shut the radio off.
"Hey Enya no fair I was listening to that!" Jade protested as she turned to me with her hands folded across her chest.
"I'll show you good music kid" I smirked at the preteen before I pulled out my I-phone and scrolled through my I-tunes library and found a song I knew she would like. I pressed the play button and the song "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence began to play.
"Whoa what band is that?" Jade asked her eyes widening in interest.
"Evanescence they're a sort of pop and alternative band from my world this song is very popular amongst others" I explained. Jade listened to the song before a grin came upon her face. Uncle walked past us and frowned at my phone.
"What noise is that?" he asked.
"Evanescence" Jade answered.
"Evan what?"
"A band from my world Uncle" I told the Chi Wizard.
"It's odd music" Uncle stated before he went over to a ladder and began to climb up it. "And it's scaring the customers away"
"Tcch, it's metal" Jade added. I only shook my head before I jumped literally a foot in the air as one of the many vases crashed to the floor and Uncle said "Aiyah" tiredly. I watched as he climbed down the ladder and said.
"I am like that antique"
"Valuable?" Jade inquired.
"Old and Brittle" Uncle replied sadly. The old man headed towards the broom closet when I pointed to the kitchen.
"Go and rest your feet I'll take care of the vase" I offered.
"I shall do it Enya don't bother" I frowned and made a come here gesture to Uncle. The Chi Wizard obeyed and I gave him a two finger slap on his forehead of his own.
"Ow" he grunted.
"Go and relax" I told him before I kissed his forehead. Uncle smiled a little before returned the favor and headed towards the kitchen.
Later
Jackie finally returned home from his layover in Bavaria, Germany.
"Happy Birthday Uncle" Jackie, Jade and I said in unison. Uncle smiled and he decided to open Jade's gift first. I chucked as the picture of a possessed Jade frowned in the picture with Captain Black along with a fellow agent, and the moose from her favorite series stood along with her.
"Heh, heh I was all possessed that day but my hair looks good and hey funny moose"
"I will cherish it Jade" Uncle said giving Jade a pat on her shoulder.
"Good Lord Enya what is that you have behind you?" Jackie asked noticing the very large rectangle gift I held.
"Something I've been working hard on I thought I didn't have a talent making this gift but I do now" I said handing the gift to Uncle. Uncle unwrapped the wrapping paper and his eyes widened. In a frame was a drawing of me in my dragon form in flight colored with simple colored pencils. All around my dragon form were the twelve talismans from the show. The background was the night sky.
"This is beautiful Enya thank you" Uncle said to me and I blushed as he stood up and gave me a fatherly hug. I chuckled and hugged him back before Uncle let go and turned to Jackie.
"What did you bring me?" Jackie chuckled before putting down a gift basket full of Bavaria cheese and chocolate. Uncle frowned before saying.
"Chocolate stains my teeth and cheese makes my" he stopped before the subject became distasteful.
"None of your business"
"I also brought you one more thing" Jackie said quoting Uncle's catch phrase holding out the Dog Talisman.
"Oh sweet!" I said as Uncle took the talisman from Jackie.
"It's your sign" Jackie added.
"So how old you are Uncle?" Jade asked.
"Jade" both Jackie and I said looking to her.
"In dog years?"
Uncle sighed before standing up.
"I'll go do research now" Uncle groaned before turning to his study.
"But Uncle we have cake you have to celebrate" Jade stated. Uncle simply looked to her and said.
"I will celebrate when I am another year younger" he then opened the door and headed into his study. I followed the Chi Wizard. I went over to Uncle who sat in a chair in front of his research desk and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"You are very sweet Enya I am glad you came here to this world" Uncle said as he put one his hands onto mine not looking at me.
"I'm glad I had the chance of meeting you my friend" I replied to him back.
Valmont't POV
"You failed to retrieve the talisman and sat on this" I stated to Tohru who bowed his head shamefully.
He just returned from the Netherlands and once again Chan bested him. Worse he ended up breaking the seeking device that could locate the talismans.
"The seeking device was forged by magic such things are hard to come by" Shendu added from behind me.
"Apologies Master" Tohru said. I smirked and suggested.
"Perhaps it is time for a free lancer to lead future missions" Tohru's eyes widened.
"No need Master I will do better"
"Too late Tohru meet Hak Foo" I nodded behind him and the sumo turned around as Hak Foo entered the room out of the shadows. Hak Foo was very skilled in the martial arts and he was known as the Black Tiger. He had spiky red hair he wore a dark blue vest which was torn revealing his sharp build, red pants, yellow sock like things and black shoes.
"Black Tiger?" Tohru scoffed. "He does not seem so ferocious"
Hak Foo growled before he leapt into the air and shouted. "Angry Crow Takes Flight!"
I watched in amusement as Hak Foo shouted another technique before landing on top of Tohru's shoulders.
"Uh looks can be deceiving"
Enya's POV
Section 13
"I love this song!" Jade exclaimed as she finished eating one of Uncle's chocolates. She was listening to another Evanescence song on my I-phone which was "My Immortal".
"That's one of my favorites" I said looking back to Jade with smirk. Jade smiled back at me as she threw me a chocolate and I grabbed it.
"Jackie has Uncle always been so you know Uncley?" Jade asked looking to her uncle as he finished throwing punches at his wooden thing a ma bob. Jackie wiped his face on the towel that was around his neck and turned to her saying.
"No Jade when Uncle was young he was just like me"
"Does that mean you'll be grouchy, constipated and smell like garlic when your Uncle's age?" I nearly choked on the chocolate I was eating because Jade's comment got me to almost laugh.
"Jade respect you're elders" Jackie scolded his niece before she suddenly yelped.
"What is it?" Jackie hurried over to her.
"A talisman made out of chocolate" Jade answered holding an exact chocolate replica of the Pig Talisman.
"The Pig Talisman is located in Bavaria, Jackie" I said before the archaeologist was about to get Captain Black.
"Oh great" Jackie sighed.
Uncle's Shop
"The pig is one of the signs of the Chinese Zodiac that we haven't yet located and these chocolates are clearly modeled after the talisman" Jackie said.
"Which means we get to go to Baveria" I teased Jackie with a smirk. Jackie only groaned until Uncle came out of the study with a suitcase.
"I could use a change of scenery" the old man said. "I will go with you"
"Awesome!" Jade exclaimed. "No babysitter means I get to go too!"
"But, but, Uncle you never leave the shop and what about the Dog Talisman?" Jackie asked not believing the way his uncle was acting.
"Psssh" Uncle waved a hand in dismissal. "Research can wait"
I suddenly noticed a vase about to fall and Uncle noticed it too. He hurriedly jumped onto a nearby cushioned couch and jumped off of it into the air and caught the vase in his arms landing back on the ground onto his stomach. He then chuckled lightly before getting back onto his feet.
"So what are we waiting for?" the old man asked.
Baveria/Germany
Baveria was a beautiful place and I wanted to site see. Jackie thought it was a good idea that Jade and Uncle stick together while I would go and see this shrine. From what I read this shrine was actually dedicated to a dragon and what was cooler it was a Western Dragon like me. I rented a one of those scooters that was similar to a motorcycle and I rode it to the shrine. Germany's countryside was breathtaking and I thought if I had the chance I would go to Ireland if I still remained here in this world.
The ride to the shrine didn't take long and I pulled the scooter into a parking spot closest to the shrine entrance. I pulled off my helmet and put it the scooter in park mode before turning it off and headed to the entrance. The shrine was empty except for me, which I was pleased to see.
"Oh wow" I said to myself as I saw a beautiful golden statue of the dragon. Its design was very similar to mine only she had spiral like markings like Shendu did next to his eyes. And it was huge as well about the size of Shendu almost.
"That's odd" I thought to myself. The statue also had three sharp lethal looking spikes on the end of its tail. I went over to read the description of the statue and learned that the dragon this shrine was dedicated to was a female. I didn't see a name and shrugged it off. There wasn't much on this creature's story except according to legend she had been near death and was found on one of Bavaria's beaches. There she was found by another male dragon and he took her back to his lair.
He nursed her back to health before he and the female fell in love and discovered they were mates. The mated pair had four hatchlings, until one day while she was out hunting a group of hunters found the male dragon and killed him along with the hatchlings. When the female returned the hunters waited for her and with fury she burned all of the hunters to the deaths including the leader. Then the an unknown individual came to finish her off, both dragon and human fought until eventually the wizard or whatever he was shot an enchanted arrow and it hit the mourning female dragon in her chest. The arrow then turned the female dragon into a golden statue and there she remained to this day, a mother grieving the loss of her mate and offspring. I actually felt tears go down my face and I wiped them away. Something shiny caught the interest of my eye and I saw an arrow.
It looked almost very real imprisoned in the dragon's chest. I placed my fingers on the arrow handle for a second admiring the way it was carved into the statue. Then my phone rang and I nearly jumped out of my skin. The call was from Jackie and he sounded worried. I hurriedly left the shrine and got onto the scooter and turned it on making the engine purr to life. I drove back to town as fast as I could and parked in a spot near the factory. I hurriedly got off of the scooter and ran like hell into the chocolate factory. My heart almost stopped when I saw Uncle piled underneath a bunch of rubble. A roar escaped from my lips scaring both Jackie and Jade and to my surprise someone else. I recognized the man as Hak Foo and I frowned at his appearance.
"So you're the shape shifter" Hak Foo taunted me. Snarling I summoned the power of my thunder magic and shot the blast towards Hak Foo. His eyes went wide as he was hit with my lightning. He went flying backwards and the electricity from my magic electrocuted him and he fainted with his hair all frizzed out. I then ran towards Uncle and began to try and dig him out of the debris along with Jade and Jackie. A second later the old man woke up.
"Uncle!" I said before throwing my arms around him.
"I'm okay Enya" Uncle reassured me hugging be back. I then helped him back up and Jackie hugged Uncle as well did Jade.
"See lots of Garlic is good for you" Uncle boasted with a smirk as Jackie and Jade let him go.
"We need to retrieve the Pig Talisman before he wakes up" I said nodding towards Hak Foo who was still unconscious.
"But we don't know where it is" Jackie began.
"It's in the Clock Tower" I stated with a smirk.
Clock Tower
The sun was starting to set as we all managed to sneak into the clock tower.
"See the oinker at Twelve 0' clock?" Jade said pointing towards the plastic pig with the actual talisman on its hat. Tohru then came out of nowhere and grabbed Jackie, Jade and I turned to see Hak Foo standing in front of us.
"Many thanks for leading us to the prize" Hak Foo said, his hair was still fried.
"You are not welcome" Uncle growled coming from around Tohru.
"You how are you but Elephant Fist?!" Hak Foo exclaimed looking to his fist before looking back up at Uncle.
"Why so afraid he's only an old man" Tohru added. Uncle turned to him and growled before using Jackie's hands to elbow Tohru hard in his gut before he leapt on top of Tohru above Jackie and head butted him hard. Tohru moaned and he fell to the floor with a shocked looking Hak Foo gaping with his mouth opened.
"Jade let's grab the talisman kid!" I shouted to her as I summoned my wings. Jade turned to me and got onto my back before I took off from the ground.
"You family size get them!" Hak Foo ordered at Tohru. The sumo got up and growled hurrying after us. Tohru suddenly grabbed my left foot and I turned around shooting flames out of my mouth. The sumo ducked before I flapped my wings once more and flew to the top of the rafters. Jade got off of my back so she could go and retrieve the talisman. I watched in amusement as both Jackie and Uncle both kicked Hak Foo back and forth. The Black Tiger was then thrown against the wall for a second before he opened his eyes and saw Jade trying to get the talisman. As he jumped into the air I did the same, he was about to grab the talisman when I grabbed it first in my grasp. I felt the power of the talisman suddenly come to life and I felt my eyes burning like fire. Hak Foo's eyes went bug eyed.
"This is for hurting Uncle you bastard!" I hissed and shot heat beams at Hak Foo's behind, the zap actually hit his rear and he whimpered.
"I like this talisman" I said before I felt the platform suddenly move and I cursed realizing it was time for the clock to do its normal thing. The platform then spun and soon Hak Foo and I were outside in front of the huge clock. Jade thankfully got off of the platform before it went outside. Hak Foo's face got smacked by one of the tambourines and I leapt into the air and kicked him hard in the face. A smack later Hak Foo went flying and he managed to grab onto one of the hands of the clock to prevent his fall.
"Good move Enya" Uncle praised me, the three of them came out after I sent Hak Foo flying.
We all looked down to see Hak Foo trying to hold on for dear life.
"It appears time is not on his side"
I turned around to see Tohru behind Uncle and I growled which got Uncle to turn around as well. Tohru's eyes went wide at the Dog Talisman Uncle had on a cord around his neck and he tried to make a grab for Uncle but Uncle got of the way just as the sumo fell over the edge and he went falling. He caught the other hand of the clock before his weight made it go down towards Hak Foo. A smack later both men went flying down towards the ground and they both landed in a truck.
"Here" I handed over the Pig Talisman to Jackie.
"Eleven down and one to go" Jade added. I turned to Uncle and smirked at him. My wings came out once more.
"It's still your birthday how about I fly you down to the ground?" I asked him. Uncle nodded before he got onto my back, his legs folded across my waist while his arms were around my neck. I flapped my wings before taking off. I flew around the city for a few minutes so Jade and Jackie could meet with us on the ground. Uncle literally whooped out in glee as I flew us around the clock tower before landing back on the ground with Jackie and Jade. Uncle then removed the Dog Talisman cord from around his neck and held out the talisman to Jackie.
"Thank you three for allowing me to re-experience my youth" Jackie took the talisman from him. "But being young is too dangerous and exhausting, Uncle needs a nap"
"You definitely deserve it Uncle" Jade said before hugging him. I did the same thing and Uncle chuckled and blushed as he hugged us back.
"Happy birthday Uncle" Jackie added.
Back in San Francisco
Two Days Later.
Still Enya's POV
I was a nervous wreck as I rode in the elevator on my way to meet with Valmont. When I returned from Germany a couple days ago Valmont had sent me a vase full of flowers asking me to meet him at his office and that was tonight. My hair was loose and I wore a blood red sleeveless dress with my new black leather jacket over it. I wore a pair of new black boots as well.
"Good evening Enya" Valmont purred as the elevator doors opened revealing that the leader of the Dark Hand was indeed waiting for me. I simply nodded as he offered me his arm and I took it shyly. Shendu was silent as we walked past him.
"Does he know I'm here?" I asked Valmont as he led me in some kind of dining room and already there was food on the table. By the looks of it he either made it himself or he ordered from somewhere.
"He does I think he's not happy at the moment" Valmont replied. It turned out this building was actually Valmont's home as well was it his work space. As I expected he did order from somewhere and the food to my surprise was excellent. I had roasted duck which was delicious along with crab ran-goon, when it came to dinner Valmont out done himself. I mean the whole dining room had candles lit up sort of giving it a semi romantic glow. Valmont was sitting near me as finished devouring the last of the duck meat.
"How was it?" Valmont purred as he stood up.
"It was excellent who knew you had good taste in what I would want to eat"
Valmont didn't say anything except for him chuckling before he made a follow him gesture with his head towards the couch. Blushing I stood up and followed and sat beside him on the black leathered sofa. Valmont suddenly surprised me by gently bringing me into his lap and I felt my face turn red.
"You're adorable when you blush Enya" Valmont teased before his lips traveled to my throat and he began to kiss my bare skin. I felt my body jump slightly when he did this but soon it shivered with delight and I allowed him to continue. His skilled lips when from the left side of my throat up to my lips and soon they were on mine. The way he kissed me this time was full of hunger eager to explore more, and this time I wanted him to do such a thing. My tongue licked at his and he complied and soon our tongues danced fighting for dominance. I felt my inner dragon get excited at the way Valmont was giving me affection. And to top it off he was a really good kisser. We kissed for several more minutes before he pulled back.
"It's getting late my dear and I have a feeling your tired"
"You guessed right" I answered back to Valmont. He helped me up from the couch and he walked me towards the elevator.
"Until we meet again Enya" Valmont said before kissing my hand once more. I blushed and entered the elevator. Even though I enjoyed my evening with Valmont I felt hurt a little. And that hurt was relating to Shendu, I bet he hated me now.
Dream
I wasn't surprised to not see Shendu when I came to my beach. I bet the demon sorcerer couldn't even look at me now.
"Why the long face my dear?" Shendu's voice asked and I jumped in the air.
"Damn it Shendu you scared the hell out of me!" I scolded the demon sorcerer.
"You were deep in thought Little Fire" Shendu explained as he coiled himself onto the sand and I sat beside him once more.
"I thought you wouldn't want to see me"
"And why would you say such a thing?" Shendu asked concerned.
"You didn't see me with Valmont?"
"Enya you are free to date or court whomever you wish until your mate is revealed though I have to admit, I wish it had been me with you tonight" I felt my face burn at that comment.
"You're such a smooth talker Shen" I said back to Shendu looking into his glowing red eyes.
"Shen?" he asked arching one of his eyes in a questioning manner.
"A nickname if you wouldn't mind me calling you" I suggested.
"I do not mind at all as long as I may call you Little Fire" the dragon replied back. I flashed him a smirk revealing my teeth.
"You have a beautiful smile Enya" Shendu complimented.
"And you're a con artist" I teased Shendu back. This got the dragon to laugh.
"Indeed I am" he then lifted his ghost like body off of the sand and he lay in my lap. The two of us didn't say anything else as we watched the sun set in the dream making the sky look beautiful.
Elsewhere
Bavaria/Germany
Night
The golden statue of the dragon in the shrine glowed a bright blue light. Then a second later a roar was heard and the shrine broke apart as a huge black dragon took flight into the night sky. The dragon's scales were black as midnight, with matching scales on her underbelly and underneath her tail. She had two fins on the side of her face; underneath the fins were dark red membranes which matched those on her wings. Between her eyes were spirals and her eyes glowed a dangerous red.
"I am free at last!" the dragoness roared as she soared above the forest surrounding her shrine which now had been destroyed. The female dragon found a cliff and she flew to it and then landed on its peak a second later. It had been a thousand years since she had been imprisoned in that damned state she loathed. The dragon sniffed the air and hissed in delight. Prey was nearby and she was hungry. The dragon was Kumori Demon Sorceress of Darkness, thought to be dead. Kumori scented the air again and a familiar smell came to her nostrils which flared.
"I see your time is coming brother" she said pleased. How she missed her brother Shendu soon his time would come again for him to live again, for now she would remain hidden in the shadows until the time was right for her to reunite with her brother.
XD
I bet you guys didn't expect Kumori to actutally be alive. She will reappear in Season 2.
Thanks for reading and review!
