Nii and Hwan waited paitently for Kougaiji to get back. Hwan was sitting at her desk watching Nii pace in front of his. In a short time, the Demon Prince was back, carring a large old book.
There were no words on the cover, and it was held shut with a large clasp. The outside of the book was not leather, but a type of reptillian hide.
Kougaiji saw the looks the cover was getting, so he explained it."Dragon hide."
The humans nodded and watched the red head place the book on Hwan's desk. "This is going to take awile to find." he said firmly, and opened the book.
Time passed...
"Here it is!"
An hour of watching Kougaiji flip through countless pages, finally over!
Hwan sighed and Nii cheered. They walked over to the Prince, looking over his shoulder. A page hilled with forigin charecters and odd picture dipicting a cave filled with water.
Kougaiji translated for them. "The Ocean of Chaos, according to demon legend, is the place from with everything came."
Nii looked at him."Everything?"
Kougaiji nodded."The legend says that the first things to appear from the Ocean were the-"
He was interuppted."Gods?" Hwan asked.
Kougaiji shook his head."My first thought too. But according to this, the first beings were the Ji'Cayeths." He flipped the page.
On the next page was a dawing of a person with moderate length, watery hair and catish ears. The person was posed holding a sword, looking as if it would jump off the page and attack them in a second.
But what caught Nii & Hwan's attention were the jagged-pupils.
"The Ji'Cayeths were skilled in anything they did. And when the Gods first appeared, they were very jealuse. The Gods couldn't do all the things that the Ji'Cayeths could."
Kougaiji sighed."And the first war started. The Ji'Cayeths dispised mindless fighting, and eventually peace talks were made. But that didn't stop anything. Ji'Cayeths were still being hunted by Gods who didn't follow the rules. The last known settlement was burned about 22 years ago. If I'm correct, Felix is from that village."
Hwan looked at the picture."Felix dosen't have ears like that though."
Kougaiji frowned."According to the book,"He scanned the page next to the picture,"Ji'Cayeths don't get thier ears untill they mature.Around their early 20's."
