The sun shone through the cracks of the old shaft, spreading little streaks of light upon the opposite wall.
Your gray-blue eyes opened and your ears twitched slightly. The sound of birds brang a happy toon to your ears, messaging to you that it was morning.
You smiled and turned your head towards the sleeping form of Akins. He was sleeping so soundly, you where going to have a hard time waking him up.
You sat up and looked down at him, wondering what he was dreaming of, you hoped it was something wonderful, something that made him happy.
What would it have been like to never have found him? Where would you be now, if not taking care and looking after him? How would your life be if you never took him in your arms and vowed to keep and mother him until he was old enough to make his own life?
Every morning these questions surface when your eyes laid themselves on the precious sleeping form of Akins. You could never imagine a life with out him, it just didn't seem to fit.
"My Akins, my sweet baby Akins" you whispered to yourself as your hand stroked the side of his face. You lovingly placed a kiss on his head before getting up.
You stretched and scratched the side of your head all the while walking over to your clothing and weapons leaning on the wall.
"Time for some breakfast" you said as you finished gearing up and putting on your sandals. You walked over to the bed and kneeled beside it, stroking Akins face once again before picking him up and cradling him back and fourth. "Akins, time to wake up" you smiled and kissed him when he didn't answer or open his eyes. "Sweetheart, its time to get up" You said into his ear. He moved slightly and gave a giant yawn. His eyes opened next, focussing on your smiling face. "There you go hun, why don't we go and find some breakfast for you?" Akins just yawned again and giggled. Akins was such a quiet little creature, you hadn't a clue what he was thinking, but somehow you always manage to get what he wants.
You walked out with Akins in your arms. The sun was shining and the air smelled surprisingly clean on this day, it was sort of odd to you. It was almost like it was a time of peace in the world where everything and one just seemed to get along.
You smiled when you seen flashes of red, flying towards you from the sky.
You waved at it and it gave a soft yet strong response. "Vermithrax. How was your slumber?" you asked as he hugged you, his clawed hand around your waist. *Very well, my cousin, very well. How was yours and of course little Akins?* He chirped/spoke low looking down at Akins. Vermithrax brought his face to Akins and nudged him. Akins raped his arms around Vermithrax' snout and hugged him. A smile grow across Vermithrax' face, he soon lifted his head back up and lowered his body to the ground. You held onto the scales of his body as he lifted off the ground and took to the skies.
The skies where clear, there wasn't a cloud insight. "Have you found a village we could get a few things from?" You asked *Yes, in fact I did. Its only a few miles away, it wont take long for us to get there. Now if you walked on foot, then it would have been at lest a day or 2* Vermithrax replied.
A few minutes later, below you could see a small village. Vermithrax flow over it and circled around it in the skies, before descending to the ground.
He landed in the forest, just a few feet away from the village. It was a good spot to land, there was lots of privacy the trees gave to the little opening. It hid Vermithrax from the site of the humans and gave you time to change.
You stepped onto the ground and placed Akins in the open claw provided.
You did your little magic trick like always and turned into your human form. This form was a very great and satisfying trick, it was very useful to you. You turned into this form very often that you should have been able to master it by now, and you guess you have, the only problem you where have with it is that you couldn't contain this form for more then an hour and a half.
Akins struggled and let out a low whimper. You had been doing this for a few years now, and still Akins got upset when you left him. You smiled down at him and kissed his forehead "I'll be back, you know that Akins. I would never leave you, not for a million years, not for anything. Just be patent little one, you'll see, I'll be back very soon" You turned and stepped through the trees, walking closer to the village. You lowered your energy to that of a humans, but still a little lesser. To more of a women that could never defend herself and constantly needed to be saved. Just a few feet away was the village, you could hear the people talking and walking around, you could hear the sounds of working tools and the smell of food cooking.
You talked through the village and passed a few of the villages people. Everyone watched as you walked by, whispering stuff to one another as you passed. It was no surprise to you though, it happened every time you came into a village, though you couldn't blame them either, it must be strange to them to see a human with to different coloured eyes. You stopped and looked around then approached a man with a gardening tool. "Excuse me, I don't mean to be a bother, but might you know where I could buy some food supplies in this village?" The man turned and stared strait at your eyes before turning on a bright smile and saying "Of course, let me show you." He rested his tool on the side of his house and lead you in the direction of their food supplies, or rather the priestess or priest of the village. "Thank you for your help, I very much appreciate it" You prised the man as you continued to walk "Oh, no not at all. Im happy to help a smiling face" You smiled and soon were standing in front of a house. "Here you are" He said "before you, might I ask you why you are looking for some supplies?" You turned to him and smiled even more "Well, Im a traveller you seen and I just happened to be low on supplies and came across your lovely little village here, Im very fortunate" after answering him you slid the bamboo door open and walked in. You paused for a moment and looked around. The house was very lovely and had wonderful decorations. Then you saw it, the sword that was handing off the wall across from the door. You advanced towards it and was about to glide your fingers over the sheath when somebody walked into the room. You quickly pulled your hand back and looked at the person. "why you are in my village?" The man that stood before you asked. You didn't answer right away but soon gave a bright sweet smile before saying "I came to buy some food supplies, if its not to much trouble" The mans face softened and his voice to. "Of course please come with me" You fallowed the man into the room next to the entrance. "What would you like?" "I would much life some fruit and some vegetables also some rice please" you said sweetly. No one could refuse your sweet and gentle act. The man handed you a bunch of supplies and walked you out to the door. "Thank you so much" you said bowing to him. "Not at all" he said smiling. Your eyes drifted to the sword again, you wanted it and you where going to get it. "Oh, I almost forgot, could I please have a bottle of sake? I'm very sorry for making you go back and get it" you said "No, don't be, I would be happy to get you some" The man turned and disappeared into the other room While he was out of side, you silently stepped to the sword and picked it off the shelf. You quickly ran from the house and dashed down the roads leading out of the village.
The man came from the room holding a bottle of sake. "Here you are, I hope it servers you well" The man stopped and looked around. "Were did she go? Must have changed her mind" as he turned to go back into the room the bottle slipped from his hand. He gasped when he seen the shelf was empty.
Along line of hero's had saved this village from monstrous demons and creatures with this sword and now it was gone. "W-were could it have gone? It was there! It was there just a minute ago right before…" he paused and turned and ran from the house as quick as possible. "THAT WOMEN, THAT WOMEN HAS THE SWORD OF A THOUSOND HEROS!" He shouted at the people. Everyone gasped and looked towards the way you where going. You heard the angered voice of the man, but you never stopped running. You where almost at the entrance to the village when a bunch of them stood in your way. "Stop and hand over the sword!" "MOVE FROM MY WAY!" "hand over the sword! We don't want to hurt you!" "Oh trust me, you wouldn't hurt me in a million years!" you refused to hand over the sword to them and they moved closer to you weapons drawn. "Hand it over women!" You laughed and refused again. This time they tried to strike you. You jumped away and turned to your true form, showing them what you where. They all gasped and took a step back "A-a demon" "YES, I AM A DEMON, NOW LET ME PASS!" You yelled. The men where frightened and griped their weapons tighter. "NO! DON'T LET HER GET AWAY!" "THERE IS NO WAY YOU WILL STOP ME! JUST LET ME THROUGH!" You yelled again, but the men refused to move. You ran at them full speed and jumped, clearing them all and making the rest of the way to the village entrance. You ran to the forest and took a look back at the people of the village. The people stood there, a look of defeat on their faces, then one of the men caught your eye, it was the man that lead you to the priests house to get your supplies. You smiled weakly, he was make a face that drilled a whole in your heart and made you want to redeem yourself to the village and the people. It was a little late to return the sword so you turned on your heal and talked through the trees.
Once Akins caught site of you he wiggled and squirmed in Vermithrax' arms. You smiled as you seen him. You passed the food to Vermithrax and picked Akins from his arms. Right away Akins snuggled into your chest and made the cutes squeaking noise you have ever heard before. "See I didn't take long, did I?" Akins looked at you smiling and giggling, before giving you a baby kiss on the chest (Not in the perverted way. He just could reach your face). You smiled and kissed him back. *Hmm…stole another sword?* Vermithrax spoke looking at the unidentified sword that now hung off your obi. You looked down and then at Vermithrax and laughed slightly "Ya, I couldn't resist, I cant ever have to many swords" all he did was let the air out of his nose and lowered himself to the ground once more.
YES, CHAPTER 2, FINISHED! HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT! HERES ANOTHER PIC!
