Azura knew that she needed to learn more about her own past. But, since her father was imprisoned long before she was ever born, he wouldn't have much information about her past.
But, she knew of an old priestess of sorts from her mother's old village that she had lived in as a very young child and she had hoped that she was still alive and could help her learn more about her own past since she was only a child trying to survive and she had to grow up far faster than any child should have to.
Death knew that Azura needed to find peace and move on so he agreed to escort her to the village and return home after they found out more about her mother from the old priestess.
But, upon arrival, the village was a ghost town and they went home. That night, Azura lit an incense stick and prayed for those who had died when she felt Death's finger tips against her shoulders gently rubbing the muscles to soothe her.
He asked,"Why worry about it Azura? The past is always there to remind us of what once was. You won't find my brothers, sister and I there. But in looking forward, you will."
She nodded in agreement as she replied,"To be honest Death, my mother and I are of such truly rare stock because of the fact that she was the first dragon-humanoid half breed known to both man, angel and the council. But, as for me, I'm the rarer still because of the fact that my father is the most powerful demon ever known."
That night, she went to bed thinking about what the eldest horseman said to her,"You won't find my brothers, sister, and I there. But in looking forward, you will." That was when she realized that she had gotten feelings for Death.
But, she didn't even know if Death had the same kind of feelings for her as well. But, Fury saw it as did War and Strife the day they had met Azura. And so did Death.
That night had found Azura sitting outside of Death's home, looking at the stars remembering that was one of the things that she loved doing as a child with her mother long before she had died defending her.
Fury joined her asking,"How is it, besides War of course, that you're able to catch Death's eye Azura?" The young dragon mage shrugged as she answered with,"To be fully honest with you Fury, I wish that I knew why. But maybe one day it will be known why I guess."
Strife was wondering the same thing and so was War when Death eased an arm around Azura's shoulders without her complaining about it while they were sitting together and talking about their missions.
Azura shifted a bit and leaned into Death's side when her sharp hearing picked up a far off cry that made her sit up straight and try to pinpoint it. She knew that it was not a cry that her father would use. Let alone Vulgrim.
The horses heard it as well but eventually, the cry was not repeated so they all settled back down and she leaned into the eldest horseman's side once more before saying good night and going to her room to read.
After the others left, Death felt the urge to check up on Azura and ask if she felt the same way he felt about her, and they shared their feelings and for the first time, they kissed.
