Chapter Two

In the early times of humanity, demons walked the world. In one particular spot, a demon child was being taken care of by one of his aunts. Little did any of them know of what the child's future would bring.

The baby started crying. Bai Tza went over to Shendu's son, as he lay in his crib. He had many of his mother's features, but, with his scales, spikes and tail, was definitely related to his father. She hated looking after the whelp. Though, with his human mother was gone, for whatever reason it was, she was forced to take care of it. 'Oh, how I despise my siblings. They cause me nothing, but grief.' She thought.

The baby reached its hands out to her and looked pleading. 'Pathetic, little being.' She grumbled in her mind. She picked up the baby into her arms. She used her arms to cradle him. He smiled up at her. For some reason, she couldn't stop herself from smiling back. 'I wish I had my own youngling.' She thought, but then shook her head. 'What am I thinking? There is no way I am ever having a child.'

All of a sudden, a green portal appeared in the room. Bai Tza snapped her head around to see who it was. 'Is Shendu, and his human concubine back. That would be a relief.' She thought. The portal was small though. He was probably in his human form. Then, a Asian man she had never seen before stepped out of the portal. He wore a suit that was colored red and black. The portal disappeared behind him. "Who are you?" She hissed.

The man just stared at her and smiled. She hated it. He was smirking at her. "Who I am is not important, demon. Especially to you." He pointed to the baby. "Give me that baby and I will not harm you."

She growled. 'How dare this human demand from me.' She thought. "No." She said flatly. "No, I will not human. Now get out of my sight before I destroy you."

The human's smirk disappeared. "I hoped it wouldn't end like this." He said, with no emotion at all.

Bai Tza put the baby into the crib and then faced him. "I know. Now you will die a horrible death." She lashed her tail at the man. The man jumped over the tail. He landed right beside her and punched her in the side. He was definitely stronger than a normal human, for he sent her flying. She landed with a thud. The man then turned toward the child. He started walking toward the crib. He went right over to the side, to see the baby Drago. He bent down to pick him up. Anger coursed through Bai Tza. She slithered behind him, took hold of the back of his collar and threw him across the room. "You will not touch him."The man then just got up and brushed off the dirt from his clothing. He then looked at her and smirked. "You know, for a demon, you have a really nice throw."

"Would you like me to do it again?" Bai Tza hissed.

The human laughed. She hated that man dearly. "You do have a sense of humor." He said, before getting serious again. "Now give me the child. It is extremely important that I take the child now. The sakes of worlds depend upon it. If you continue this fight though, you will regret it."

"You are the one to regret it. No human demands from me and expects to live." Bai Tza said, before thrashing her tail at him. He dodged, but this time landed on her tail. He quickly ran up her tail, taking something out of his pocket, he reached her. He injected something into her neck and then jumped off. He had moved with such speed, that Bai Tza had no time to react.

She reached a hand instinctively to her neck. Then, a pain coursed through her. Her body convulsed and started to change form. "I'm sorry." She heard the man say. She finally stopped changing. She looked down at herself. She gasped. She was human. She looked at him, hatred full on her face. "What have you done to me?" She shrieked.

The man shrugged. "Well, it was very simple. I have, using the combination of science and magic, created a serum. A special serum. It has turned you into your human form and will keep you there." He lowered his gaze. "I am sorry, but I highly doubt that you ever be in your demon form again."

Bai Tza didn't know what to do. She was conflicted. She had been in her human form before, but to be human all the time. She shivered. She looked up to see the man chanting, with little Drago in his arms. The baby was starting to cry. She growled at him. The portal started to appear. Anger surged through her. She got to her feet and tackled him. This sent them all spiraling through the portal.

(Sometime afterwards)

Othenion stepped through his portal, into Shendu's realm. He looked around the room of the baby Drago. He saw that there was a fight. Of course, he could not tell who the victor was. He went over to the cradle. The baby was gone. He sniffed the air. He smelled the presence of both magic and science at the same time. 'Fool.' Othenion thought. 'He thinks that science can help him. I have lived for thousands of years. Science is pitiful. He will never learn.'

Othenion, being a skilled hunter, knew exactly what had transpired. His roman mentor had taught him well, during his youth. He growled. 'He went to the wrong place. He has betrayed us.' Othenion made a portal that followed Cedric's location. 'I will kill him for this.' He thought, before stepping inside.
