Zeldris' eyebrow furrowed at the plea, ryu got off of him and threw the dagger in her hand at a wall, but instead of sticking in the wall it destroyed the wall and flew back to her outstretched hand. Zeldris got up but stood still, not wanting to anger her anymore than he already did.

"Ryu?" Zeldris said softly

He flinched when she punched a wall, cracking it. Along her cheekbones he could see emerald scales appearing on her cheekbones and her pupils becoming slit and curved upward at the end horns appearing on her head and emerald scaled wings appearing on her back.

"What else did my 'parents' tell you?" Ryu asked with death lacing her voice

Zeldris raked his brain when he remembered that her parents also said she was a slut and disobedient and disloyal, but he didn't believe it until he got her word.

"They said that you were a slut…" He said uncertain

Ryu punched the wall agan with her other fist cracking the wall again.

"And that you were disobedient…" Zeldris said trying not to flinch as she punched the wall in the same spot again

"And that you were disloyal." Zeldris finished flinching when she punched the wall, destroying it completely. Ryu looked at him and he almost shrunk back in fear of the burning rage that flared in her eyes.

"I am NOT a slut, I only disobey orders in a LIFE threatening situation and I am NOT disloyal to anyone unless they hurt me beyond repair." Ryu said with a heavy death like aura surrounding her

Ryu turned around and began to walk off when a strong pair of arms wrapped around her waist and a face was planted in her back.

"Zel, let me go" Ryu whispered

"I can't do that, you'll just try and kill anyone who's in your way and then later regret it." Zeldris said muffled into her back

Ryu sighed and her semi-dragon form began to disappear and she put her hands on his arms and sighed.

"I still have yet to understand how you put up with me" Ryu whispered

Ryu felt zeldris' arm tighten around her waist but before he could say anything there was a loud boom. Ryu's head shot up and she sniffed the air before shooting back in disgust of the horrifying stench that filled her nose. Zeldris pulled her into his chest and held her head against his chest, knowing his scent would calm her a little and maybe mask the horrifying scent she picked up..

"Gloxina!" Zeldris yelled

A male with long red hair and rainbow butterfly wings flew up and at the call of his name.

"Yes lord-RYU?!" Gloxina yelled in shock

"Gloxina" Zeldris repeated

Gloxina took his attention off the Triling held against zeldris' chest and turned to his leader.

"Yes?" Gloxina said

"What was that loud boom and what's the stench that Ryu picked up?" Zeldris asked

"The others are trying to find out what the boom was and I believe the scent Ryu picked up was shadow gas, very toxic to dragons, in some sense, Ryu may have a slight fever right now, but if you don't get her to merlin soon, Ryu will likely die of dragon fever." Gloxina said slowly back away from his leader due to the dark heavy aura that surrounded zeldris

'I'm going to lose ryu? No, I won't let that happen even if I have to ask brother for help. I need her to stay alive, I love her.'Zeldris thought
