Note- And finally we get to some sort of explanation. Not everything, because they still have some research to do. But finally we will know what Faye knows.

The Weapon

Chapter 35- Gods and Monsters

Kaida looked blankly at the papers for a moment, before directing a questioning gaze at Faye. Faye however didn't say anything and simply tapped the pages in encouragement. Looking down at the handwritten pages she saw the words she had read before.

Successive generations retained the ability to produce and control both fire and ice.

That must have been what had caught Faye's attention in the first place. The sentence was on it's own written at the top of the page. Then there was a space before she had written notes obviously taken from earlier in the article that she had been reading.

Oriental dragons are known as shapeshifters, which allows them to adopt innumerable guises including human form. Indeed many human lineages actually claim descent from dragons. There are stories which claim that the dragon kings, specifically the human bodied fire dragon, the Lung Wang Ao Chin took human form to breed and produce offspring which could walk among the mortals. Like Ao Chin himself successive generations retained the ability...

Kaida stopped reading and looked up at Faye again. She couldn't be serious. Was she actually suggesting that she was the descendant of a dragon. Faye tapped the page again indicating that she should read on.

There are other cases of dragon descendants known as the nine children of dragons which are named below.

Then there was another space.

Taotie- One of the nine children of dragons who loves to eat and is often depicted on food containers.

Kaida couldn't help it, she laughed at that. She did like her food and she was always hungry.

"Taotie?"

Faye asked smiling.

"Taotie."

She confirmed before she continued to read.

It is without a doubt that the oriental dragons have a complex mythological and symbolic status. They represent high spiritual power and are emblematic of the representation of such power on earth. Many pictures of oriental dragons show a flaming stone under their chin. The stone is associated with wealth, good luck and prosterity. Later it became a symbol of the link between the dragon descendant and their ancestors.

Kaida ran her pendant between her fingers. It had been her mother's and had become a symbol of who she was, the gifts that she had inherited from her. But it couldn't be true. It couldn't. She kept reading.

Dragons can be very small or enormous and can make themselves invisile at will.

Kaida ran a hand acros her face as she tried to make sense of what she had read so far. With every word memories came flooding back to her, little things over the years building up and connecting with what Faye had found. She couldn't believe it, but it was right there in front of her.

Though they are powerful creatures capable of doing great harm, dragons are generally portrayed as protectors. In fact many people still worship dragons as deities.

She was starting to get dizzy, it was too much, far too much all at once. But she couldn't stop.

Oriental dragons are occasionally depicted with bat-like wings, although this is rare.

The itching between Kaida's shoulder blades had been increasing steadily as she read and now it was intolerable. There was a hot burning pain as if something was trying to break through the skin. Her breathing and her heart-rate picked up. She was hyperventilating and her vision was clouding over.

"Faye. I..."

Then she was out cold.

Dean sat down heavily on the bed and glared at his brother. He couldn't believe that he had managed to convince him to come here for a probably nonexistent case. Sure there were a couple of interesting points, the dog and the weird camera flare, but that was it. Regardless of what he thought Sam was already researching what little they had on his laptop. The ringing of a phone brought Dean out of his thoughts and had Sam pulling his phone out of his pocket.

"Hi K, what's up?"

Sam's brow furrowed as he listened causing Dean to move closer in an attempt to figure out what was going on.

"Wait wait. Slow down. Now say that again. What exactly is the problem."

Dean moved closer still. Sam sounded calm, but apparently Kaida didn't. But that didn't make any sense. Kaida was a hunter and a damn good one. Usually if she was freaking out there was a reason to freak out. The alternative though was that someone else was using Kaida's phone.

"OK, how long ago was that. And she woke up not long after that. Did she say anything before she fell asleep? I think it was probably just a lot to take in. Just keep an eye on her and call us if anything changes. It's alright Faye, you did the right thing. Call me as soon as she wakes up."

Faye?! Dean grabbed the phone off of his brother.

"You've got some nerve calling us Faye Davis. What the fuck did you do this time?"

He knew he was unjustifiably angry, and Kaida could take care of herself most of the time. But from Sam's side of the conversation it had sounded as if whoever he was talking about had passed out. And Faye on Kaida's phone meant that that person was probably their sister.

"I didn't do shit Dean! Like I just explained to Sam. Kaida was reading over some of the stuff I found when she started hyperventilating and she passed out. When she woke up she was a little disorientated. she said she had a headache and I drove her back to the motel. She fell asleep as soon as I got her into the room. I called because she hasn't eaten anything since lunch which I'm sure is still considered fucking weird for Kaida!"

Faye didn't wait for Dean to reply before she ended the call. That was why she had called Sam in the first place. Sam was the more rational of the two when it came to their sister. Dean was overprotective and tended to overreact when it came to family. She glanced at Kaida sleeping in the motel bed that looked too big for her. She looked so peaceful, so calm. It had scared Faye so much to see the hunter panicking the way that she had in the library. It was so unlike her. Resigning herself to the fact that she wouldn't get any sleep that night Faye sat across from Kaida to watch over her.
