Summary: She was a mage that ate a fruit when she was 10. She lost her faith in humanity when she was 6, but due to meeting Monkey D. Luffy it was restored and she was forever loyal to him. He saw her in a bar on some island. He had heard rumors of her while she worked with the group known simply as the Thirteen, so he thought it would be a good idea to get her to join his crew. Funnily enough he didn't expect her ties to her adoptive family and just who was protective of her.

Summary will be reworked, but that's it for now. Here's the chapter. Please Review!(I also want to inform people that this is not a crossover of any kind. If it becomes one, I will tell you, but it is not one. I may use some information from here in my other stories, but it will not be considered a crossover. Thank you.)

Chapter Sixteen: Talking Crescents and ceremonies

I sat atop the largest cliff on Veral that over looked the softly moving waters of the bay. I heard footsteps as I stared out at the see and spoke before he could, "I know what I did was out of character, but I couldn't really control myself."

"What did she do that caused you to react in such a way?" Law asked as he seated himself next to me, "It would have to be a damn good reason because you would normally prank someone that pissed you off,"

Upon hearing that last statement, I smiled and shook my head, "True," I frown as I stared up at the waning crescent moon, "In truth, I can usually hold myself back from doing what I did, but seeing her again after not being faced with her everyday brought my memories of what happened to the forefront of my mind," My fingers clenched around the rocky edge of the cliff, "It made me want to kill her so badly."

"What exactly happened?" He asked causing me to sigh deeply.

"It was on a night like this only it was in the depth of it's winter season," I began as the memory crashed down on me, "I was..."

Flashback

I grinned as I ran next to Andromeda and Tsuki. Our hands were linked together as we ran through the thick white snow banks. I let out a laugh as I stopped causing the two to go flying into a snow bank. Both cursed as they got up and tossed snowballs at me. I grinned at the two as I used my magic to create snow monsters that hugged the two and covered them in snow. I paused in my laughing and gave a cheshire grin at Jessica as she ran up, "Hey Jess! Want to join us?"

She shook her head with a smile, "Nah, I actually came to tell you something."

"Oh?" My snow creations disappeared as my full attention was on Jessica, "What's up?"

"You know that cave Master Valkyrie said not to go near without her permission?" Jessica asked causing me to nod, "Well here," She tossed a scroll to me, "She wants you to gather some hard to get ingredients from inside,"

"Really?" I opened the scroll and looked through it while verifying that it was real, "I thought she said I wouldn't be able to do so for another three weeks,"

"I managed to convince her," Jessica answered with a wink, "You're getting really good and I want to make sure you get the training you need," She laughed softly, "You did surpass me in most aspects, so I want you to do well,"

"Really?" I gave the girl a beaming grin, "Can Andy and Tsuki come?"

"Sure it's kinda dangerous so be careful," She warned me and headed off.

End of Flashback

"...After she left, we headed to the cave," My grip on the rocks increased causing them to shatter as I grit my teeth, "We went inside and got managed to get most of the ingredients before we realized something was wrong..."

Flashback

I froze as I noticed the ice that lined the cave walls thinning. I turned to Tsuki and asked, "Is it just me or is the ice on the walls thinning?"

"The ice is thinning, but that's good for us since it'll make it easier to walk around," Tsuki shrugged and plucked another of the herbs we needed to gather, "Don't worry about it,"

I nodded and returned to gathering more herbs. I stopped however when I noticed that it was getting hotter. Andromeda spoke after a few minutes, "I don't know about you guys, but the heats starting to kill me."

"Let's get going," I say causing the other two to nod, "We have everything we need after all,"

We began to leave the cave only to hear a rumble behind us. With wide eyes, I looked at my friends. They nodded and we took off. We managed to get outside before heat blasted behind us and sent us flying. I landed in a tree and caused it to fall over. I stared dimly at the sky for a few moments while wondering what happened when I heard a scream. I turn my head slowly and felt my heart stop. Tsuki was surrounded by flames that reached high in the sky. A lava scorpion made it's way towards her while it's claws made a clacking sound as it slowly got closer. She backed up towards the wall of flames only to stop as she got too close. Andromeda lay a few inches from Tsuki with blood coming from a cut on top of her head and from her arm. The herbs we had gathered were scattered like the petals in the wind all over the place. I managed to get up only to notice that my arm was covered in cuts that bled with a faint purple tint. I grimaced and rushed towards the two as the scorpion's stinger rose to strick. With my magic, I created a space for the two to go through while pulling Onmyo from her pocket-space. The scorpion struck and I blocked it as Tsuki screamed. I grimace as Tsuki shouted, "KAI!"

"Tsuki," I grit out as pain blared in my shoulder, "Take Andy and go to the Hunt. Get Master,"

"But Kai," She protested while slowly standing behind me, "I can't leave you to face this thing alon-"

"I'm not alone now go," I shout while creating two constructs to rush at the beast, "I can make constructs and Kiyo should have alerted everyone to the trouble by now," I grimace as I the scorpion backed up, "You need to hurry because Andy needs treatment now!" I blocked another strick from the scorpion, "Go! I'll be fine,"

"But-" She began only for me to cut her off.

My eyes locked with hers as I allowed Tundra to come forth a little and pushed some of my haki into my eyes, "GO!"

She nodded and grabbed Andromeda before taking off. I could hear her cursing me as she ran and turned towards the scorpion. I glared at it's empty black eyes as Tundra muttered, "We're in deep shit. I don't think we're ready to face a lava scorpion of this size by ourselves just yet."

I snort in agreement as I sent a spike of ice towards it causing it to recoil, "It's a fast bugger for it's size."

"What should we do?" She rumbled in my mind, "You aren't exactly in a position that's favorable to you with that unknown poison wreaking havoc on your body,"

"Switch?" I suggest causing her to grin, "Try not to get us killed,"

"I won't," She assured me.

End

"...She took over and we ended up fighting that thing for another thirty minutes," I finish while glaring at the ocean, "I ended up being stung three times and almost got killed from severe blood loss, three types of poison in my veins, and from when the stinger nicked my stomach. Andy ended up having a severe concussion and blood loss. Tsuki got by with a broken arm, two degree burns, and a single cut that turned into a scar on her left arm,"

"So Ms. Rosa almost got you three killed?" Law asked tensely causing me to nod.

"Yup," I answer, "I wouldn't have minded if it wasn't for a petty reason or that two of my Nakama were caught in the crossfire,"

"Why did she do it?" Law demanded causing me to let out a bitter laugh.

Law P.O.V

My eyes narrowed as Kaileara let out a bitterly hallow laugh. She smiled an empty smile as she looked at me. Her voice lost all emotion as her eyes became empty, "Because she was jealous. She did it because I had surpassed her in a matter of three months where as it took her four years of constant training to get as far as she did. I proved to be a better student because I cheated with my clones, but she didn't care. All that mattered was that a little upstart came along and usurped her throne as the best student," Tears gathered in her eyes, "She didn't give a crap that I was only there because I wanted to get stronger. She didn't give a crap about any of my reasons only that I was better than her. No matter what she did, she couldn't beat me."

I sat there frozen as I tried to figure out what to do as she began to cry. I settled on reaching out to place a hand on her shoulder. She looked at me as I said, "Kaileara-ya it's only natural that some people are that petty."

"I know," Kaileara laughed that same bitter laugh, "But I thought I could have gained another Nakama. I thought that if I showed her what I could do, she would like me. I was wrong and it almost cost me the lives of my Nakama," I felt an iciness fill me at the fact she didn't seem to care about her own life, "I hate that I was so blind to her dislike of me that it almost cost me the lives of two of my precious Nakama,"

"What about you?" I ask softly, "Don't you care about her almost kill you?"

"Not really," She said with the same broken smile, "I'm only a tool to be used and discarded. I love my brother to the deepest pits of my heart, but even I know that no human is truly capable of being so kind. Luffy will just get rid of me when he no longer has use of me-"

I covered her mouth to stop her from speak and growled, "You are not a tool. If what you've said about your brother is true, then he will not throw you away. Mr. Luffy doesn't seem like that."

She stared at me and slowly the life returned to her eyes. She shook her head as I withdrew my hand and nodded, "You're right. I don't know what came over me," She shook her head again, "Sorry 'bout that."

"It's fine," I reply causing her to chuckle, "Are you feeling better now?"

"Yeah," She leaned back to stare at the sky, "I think I can be around Rosa without killing her,"

"Good because I don't want to be thrown off this island before our log pose finishes settling," I say as I follow her example.

We stared up at the sky for a while. Both of us were silent, but it was one of our usual companionable silences that we usually had when we both sat together after the crew went to sleep and we couldn't sleep. Kaileara broke it after a while, "Law?"

"Yes?" I murmur as I watched a cloud slide across the sky.

"Do you think we'll see Minx or Alex here?" She asked causing me to stiffen.

"I don't know why?" I ask causing her to sigh.

"It's just laying here like this reminds me of the times we did this back then," She replied and movement from her could be heard causing me to turn my head and I saw her laying on her side while looking at me, "I guess I just want a moment to forget that everything happened," She frowned and sighed, "I guess what I'm saying is that I want to just act like we're still kids and we haven't been affected by the world yet,"

"You know that can't happen," I reply causing her to shrug.

"Maybe not really, but we could pretend," She replied with a smile, "It would be fun you know. We could just talk and spend time together without all the Pirate Vs. Marine crap,"

"What makes you think they'll be willing to do it?" I ask causing her to shrug.

"Anything can happen," She replied before sitting up and calling out, "What's up Cain?"

"It's time," Came the wolf's reply causing Kaileara to sigh and sit up.

"I see," She looked at me with a smile, "I'll see you tomorrow,"

"Where are you going?" I ask as I sat up and she stood up.

"I'm going to get my summoning crystals," She answered and waved to me before running off to join up with the bronze wolf, "See you later Law!"

Yukina and Kiyo appeared out of the nearby trees to run by Kaileara's side. The four met up before rushing off towards the building that housed the mages of the island. I grimaced at the fact she hadn't even asked me before sighing and standing up. I needed some kind of relief anyway. With that in mind, I headed towards the whore house with one thing on my mind.

Kaileara P.O.V Ten minutes later

I stood in the middle of a circle covered in seals. I looked over the lines of ink and noted that it was actually mostly made of blood. Interesting seeing as blood is one of the strongest amplifiers when it comes to seals and is often used for the most powerful seals. I shiver as Master Valkyrie did the last seal on my chest and Yukina pipped up as she noticed my clothing or lack of, "Is there a reason why I'm naked?"

Master Valkyrie grinned, "Her clothes would have gotten in the way and they would have burned up as it were from the amount of magic that will be pouring through her body," Kiyo sat next to me in her giant nine-tailed form which towered high over my head (Like Kyuubi in Naruto), "Now do you remember the-"

"Always keep your eyes forward and never look back," I cut her off as I began to recite the rules, "Do not move until the ritual is over. Make sure to keep your magic constant and do not under any circumstance agree to sexual contracts," I rolled my eyes at my former teacher, "I know very well what the rules are consider you beat them into my head multiple times with a fucking book,"

She grinned at me, "Good now the moon is almost at it's peak."

"How come we aren't doing this on the new moon?" I ask with a raised eyebrow, "I thought all contracts like this would require the correct moon phase. The new moon is the correct phase for the death variety since it is when death magic is at it highest point,"

"Normally yes, but we can't have you overwhelmed so we're going to make it less potent," She answered with a smile, "You are after all your weakest at the new moon,"

I pout at her, but agree none the less, "So now we wait."

She snorted, "Famous last words."

I rolled my eyes, "Famous my ass."

"Ah but your ass is famous," I gaped at my aunt.

"No it isn't!" I protest while trying to ignore the slowly rising blush.

"I still have the pictures," She teased me while causing my eyes to widen.

"The one time I got drunk around you," I grumble much to her amusement, "At least it was a good party,"

"True," She agreed just as the seals slowly began to glow, "Good luck,"

I gave her a nod as Kiyo and I began to push out a constant flow of magic. The seals brightened in color before slowly turning black and grey. The area around us faded out as color seemed to be stripped from the air. The scent of ozone was think in the air along with the scent of rotting flesh. It was only due to my experience with both human and animal corpses that stopped me from gagging. I tried to keep my face neutral as the scent increased. Soon a flash of grey tinted black lightning slammed into the ground before me as shadows gathered next to the spot. Two forms rose from both shadow and smoke. The bigger of the two resembled a man with slick back black hair and pale blue eyes. He wore what greatly resembled black gladiator armor with giant bat-like wings on his back. A pair of Gladius sat at either side as a pair of clawed hands held a Pilum(Roman heavy javelin). The second form was smaller, about the size of an 11 year old. Pale grey hair with ruby red eyes seemed to absorb all the light that was left. She wore a light grey tunic under a crimson colored stola(a long, sleeveless tunic). She wore a pair of wine red bracers and a black whip at her side. A long panthers tail swished behind her as a pair of panther's ears twitched on her head. A cloak of black fur was wrapped around her shoulders. Both had the same pale grey skin and fang necklaces around their necks. The first to speak was the male with a voice that sounded like the distant boom of thunder, "So this is the one that is to be our summoner?"

"She looks young," Murmured the child, "But her soul is old...Grey," She gained a fang filled smile, "It looks delicious,"

"Easy Len," The male spirit soothed, "Father would be disappointed since he actually likes her,"

"But Fade," The girl protested, "She looks so-"

"Touch my master and I will kill you," Kiyo threatened while trying to keep our magic flow even, "I will not allow you to harm her,"

"Ah one of the great beasts, yet not of the council," The child cooed, "Who is she brother?"

"She is Kiyo the wandering illusion," The male replied with a smirk, "Also known as the faded storm bringer,"

I look between the three in slight confusion before shaking it off and saying, "Perhaps we could get down to why you're here."

"Ah yes," The male sighed, "Our misfortune of getting caught,"

"Who did you pull a prank on?" I ask with a slight smirk, "I would be interested in hearing about it,"

"You like pranks?" The child gasped causing me to nod with a small grin.

"I love them since they are the perfect way to get rid of boredom while making people insane," I answer causing her to cheer, "I would love to have some new partners in crime, but the thing is my Nakama aren't allowed to be harmed,"

"So if we go with you, we can't hurt anyone?" The child asked causing me to shake my head.

"Only those I say you cannot kill will remain untouched by you," I answer causing her to grin, "So would you two like to be my first summoned spirits?"

"Hell yes!" The child cheered while the male sighed in amusement.

"I suppose, but I would like to spar often," He agreed causing me to nod.

"Only we won't be able to go all out or use powers when we travel," I warn him causing him to nod, "Alright let's get started,"

"I, Leniea daughter of Traitha and lady Chasica," I twitch at the name of the head spirit of Twilight, "Do allow myself to be bound in contract to Kaileara daughter of Anastasia Ashferd and Doberman!"

"I, Phantom Shadow son of Traitha and Chasica," I again twitch at the name, "Do allow myself to be bound in contract to Kaileara daughter of Anastasia Ashferd and Doberman,"

"I, Kaileara Ashferd daughter of Anastasia Ashferd and Doberman," I say while twitching at the bastards name, "Do accept the contract between Leniea and Phantom shadow son and daughter of Traitha and Chasica,"

Magic swirled around us before two crystals formed. A winged bat skull made of blackish gold hovered in front of Phantom while a panther skull made of purple tinted obsidian hovered in front of Leniea. I reach outwards as the two place their hands on the skulls and let out a small gasp as my magic was tugged towards the skulls. Kiyo and I were hard pressed to keep the flow as it was because with each pull, the tugging grew stronger. We kept our ground and just as our magic was nearly in the red did the pull stop. The two nodded to me and disappeared into their skulls. The bat's eyes glowed green while the panther's glowed crimson. The area around me returned to normal as the two skulls were lowered to the ground and I lost all strength in my body. Kiyo's form began to fluctuate causing me to initiate the merge. She didn't even bother grumbling as Yukina raced over and supported me. I gasped softly as I tried to regain some semblance of strength. Yukina supported me as Master Valkyrie made her way over to me. Cain looked at me worriedly and asked, "Are you alright?"

"As alright as I was when Uncle Yi decided to give me that sea stone necklace two months after I ate my devil fruit. I'm just fine," I say sarcastically.

"Ah so you didn't get damaged," Master Valkyrie smiled causing me to give her an acidic glare.

"Bitch," I growled.

She had the audacity to pat me on the head, "Good girl."

I was so tempted to bite her that it wasn't even funny. I didn't because at that moment I passed out. Damn why do I have a feeling I'm going to need a potion in the morning?

Next morning Law P.O.V

I walked with Bepo up the stairs of the Hunt while a group of passing Marine's glared at me. I flipped them off with a smirk as we walked inside. The girl from yesterday, Grace sat at the desk and looked up upon hearing us enter. She gave me a smile and said, "Welcome to the Hunt! My name is Grace."

"Hello Ms. Grace," I greet her in reply, "Can you tell me where one of my crew members is? She's a mage-"

"Follow me Trafalgar," Kaileara's old master, Master Valkyrie said from the stairs, "I was just about to head back up to check on her,"

I glared at her for the order, but followed none the less. Bepo adjusted his hold on Kikoku as we began to traverse the stairs. Once out of hearing rang of Grace, I asked, "Why would you be checking on her?"

"She passed out last night after completing a intensely draining magical ceremony," She replied causing me to pause, "She'll be fine, but I want to make sure,"

"Is it normal for her to pass out like that?" I demand as we resume our walk, "It doesn't seem healthy,"

"It's not normal for her," Valkyrie agreed, "But for other mages when it comes to our first bonding ceremony, it is common,"

"Will she be alright?" Bepo asked before ducking his head, "Sorry!"

"She'll be just fine as I have said," The woman looked at Bepo in amusement, "She's going to have a bad headache though and it would be ill advised for her to walk around today," She shook her head, "I doubt she'll listen to that advise,"

"Why?" I ask in slight surprise, "She's usually okay with sitting still when it comes to meditating and sealing,"

"Yes, but she'll want to move around considering the fact she doesn't like listening to my orders," She replied with amusement, "It's in her blood after all,"

"Really?" The woman nodded.

"Yes. Those with marks that cover their whole bodies are born leaders, it goes against their nature to submit," Valkyrie chuckled softly, "Kaileara however is an odd one being that she follows the old ways,"

"Old ways?" I murmur softly as we climbed another set of stairs.

"The old ways of the clan," Valkyrie shook her head, "They're rather hard to explain, but in short Kaileara has one person that she will serve for the rest of her life. The boy she calls little brother is the one that rules over her. Only her mate will hold the same amount of power as her brother, but also less,"

"Why?" The wolf that walked by Valkyrie's side answered.

"Because she gave the boy a vow that was thought to be lost in time," The wolf seemed to age, "The vow to serve as the boy's servant until such a time as her death. It is almost like the one we wolves make with our partners only difference is that you don't gain the bond we have nor our marks,"

"You won't experience the increase of senses and instinct either," Valkyrie added with a small shrug before pausing before a white door with a golden moon on it, "Here we are,"

"Kaileara has a room here?" Bepo asked as Valkyrie opened the door, "Sorry,"

"Of course all masters have their own rooms in the place they gained their mastery," Valkyrie answered as she stepped inside, "The pup has a lot of shit in here as well,"

We walked inside and I noticed at once the air was cooler than it was outside. Orbs containing various things floated on pedestals scattered around the room. A group of bookcases cluttered the room, but didn't touch a single side where large windows sat over looking the forest outside. Blue curtains covered the sides of the windows which were stained glass. They had mostly wolves and moons on them with a few scattered dragons among them that moved every now and again. A large desk sat in the corner of the room covered in a mess of papers. My eyes widened at the sight of what I assume a disaster zone left in the wake of a tornado would cause. I couldn't stop myself from saying, "What the fuck?"

"Let me guess," Valkyrie looked at me in amusement, "She kept her room clean?"

"Yes," I say causing Valkyrie to chuckle and walk past the mess towards another doorway.

"This is Kaileara's primary research area. She never lets her living space get messy, but when it comes to research well..." Valkyrie trailed off and shook her head, "Let's just say my grand daughter was the same way,"

"Family trait?" I ask as she opened the door and walked inside.

"I blame her Grandmother," The woman deadpanned as I followed her inside and was struck by how warm it was.

A fire roared in a large fire place. A large black fur rug sat in front of it with a pair of comfortable looking chairs. A small table sat between the two with an unfinished chess game sitting on it. Three book cases adorned the walls of the room which were painted a deep shade of grey almost black. A large bed sat at the back of the room covered in a purple comforter and a pile of furs that were tossed off to the side. Kaileara was curled up in a ball in the middle of the bed with her hands over her ears. The marks that I had seen back during my assessment of Kaileara were visible and again I had to pause. They were the same light grey they had been and were the same mesmerizing wisp-like shapes. A groan from Kaileara brought my attention to her as Valkyrie chuckled and pulled out a bottle of green liquid. Kaileara groaned, "Make it stop."

"Drink this and it will," Valkyrie said causing Kaileara to snatch the bottle from her hand and down it only to grimace, "Your mothers recipe,"

"Mother sucks at cooking," Kaileara deadpanned before looking at me then looked at Valkyrie, "Why?"

"He was looking for you," Kaileara sighed before Valkyrie reached over and ran a glowing hand over her body, "You shouldn't move around too much or use magic, but other wise your good. You can demerge in about an hour,"

"Great," Kaileara sighed before watching as Valkyrie left the room and waved at one of the seats, "You guys can take a seat. It won't be too comfortable standing,"

Bepo looked at the seats by the fire before moving towards Kaileara. Kaileara gave the bear a raised eyebrow before nodding to herself and whistling. To my surprise, the fire lept up from the grate and traveled over to Kaileara. Bepo paused in his tracks as the fire transformed into a cat and rubbed against Kaileara's hands without burning her. Yukina chose that moment to speak up from where she laid curled up against Kaileara, "The fire-cat is named Sparks. He's one of the spirits that follows Kai wherever she goes."

Kaileara gestured to the chairs by the fire, "It should be okay for you two to sit down now. Sparks was only keeping me warmed up."

"I thought temperature didn't bother you," I say as I took a seat and Kaileara snorted.

"The only reason it doesn't usually is because I can change the properties of my blood to become cold blooded or warm blooded," Kaileara absentmindedly scratched under the fire-cats chin, "It's an odd ability I gained after meeting the Chi-chi no mi user,"

"How many devil fruit users have you met?" I ask intrigued.

"A lot I guess," She shrugged lightly, "I never really paid any mind unless they had a power that interested me,"

"How many powers have you gained?" I asked causing her to hum.

"A little over thirty," She answered before giving me a sheepish smile, "I haven't had the chance to get yours yet,"

"Why not?" I mean we did spend a lot of time together after all, so she should have already gained an understanding of mine.

"I need to be touching you when you use it or have it used on me," Ah that made sense, "I know that's a weakness when it comes to gaining powers, but it's better than nothing,"

"True," I wonder if there was a way to make it easier on her, "Can't you train yourself to get the power without doing that?"

She shook her head, "Nope. It's a rule that comes with my power though if it's a logia user it is debatable."

"How so?" Kaileara smiled in amusement.

"Logia users are can take on the characteristics of the element their fruit represents, no?" She asked causing me to nod, "So it would make sense that I would only need to watch the logia user to be able to use their power right?" I nod again, "The thing is that some attacks are specific to that devil fruit in a way that makes it impossible for me to use unless I managed to get them to use it on me,"

"Trial and error?" I asked causing her to nod, "How bad have you been hurt from those occurrences?"

"Not too badly though I will admit that I can't actually take on the form of an element like a logia user," She grumbled the last part with a pout, "It would be fun to turn into fire or something,"

"Why's that?" Kaileara sighed softly.

"Something to do with the fact my body isn't able to correctly change it's matter in such a way that is needed to achieve that level of elemental embodiment," She spoke as if reciting a text, "Or in a language that most people can understand: My body can't turn into an element because I lack the proper elements logia users gain when they eat their fruit," Kaileara pouted again, "Damn the amount of times I would have loved to have turned into water or something,"

"Are there similar restrictions on the other types of fruits?" Kaileara nodded at this.

"With Zoan, I can't take on the form of that exact animal. I can turn into an animal just like it, but not the same exact one," She answered before wincing, "I also can't use some specific attacks mythical Zoan users can nor can I turn into a giant Buddha like Sengoku," She grimaced, "Not that I would ever want to do that," She shuddered before continuing, "My restrictions with Paramecia are rather varied, yet are also seen as the most strick with the restrictions. I can only gain that power through touch or having it used on me. I can only use the powers the user of that fruit have gained. I have to be careful when using them because if I use them more than a specific amount of times, depending on the fruit of course, I will become exhausted," She shook her head lightly, "I also need to practice with each power I gain in order to master it rather than the ease that comes with Zoan and Logia. As it is, I had to spend months helping my little brother master his powers while trying to do the same,"

"Are you restricted to the uses of the power you see?" Kaileara shook her head.

"Nah I can improvise with it, but it takes a bit more out of me if I try to reach beyond my capacity," I nod thoughtfully at the reasonable restrictions though that meant Kaileara would have to be careful when using others powers, "Any other questions?"

"At the moment, I can't think of any more," I answer causing her to hum.

"Want to play chess?" She asked causing me to nod, "Just drag the chair over with the table and we'll play a game of chess,"

"Why does it look like you never finished your last game?" I ask causing Kaileara to shrug.

"I never got the chance to I guess," She quickly set up the board once I had the table settled down, "It never seemed that important since Andromeda and I were always busy with our studies,"

"Ms. Andromeda is a mage?" I ask causing her to shake her head.

"Nah she gained a mythical Zoan that made her a dog-demon," She waved her hand at me, "You can go first,"

"Is that why she's called Demon of the Hounds?" I ask causing her to nod.

"She's also called the Guardian of Hell," Kaileara added as I placed my first piece, "It's a rather interesting story as to how she gained that title,"

"Mind telling it?" I ask as she placed down her first piece.

"Sure," She smiled at me as we began to play.

End of chapter! Tell me what you guys think! Oh and I'm so happy Law's going to live! The chapter before last really scared me!
