The growing darkness faded and Shadow said, "Of course. Just pick a spot." He saved Storm the trouble of moving and walked over to him, then sat back down beside him. He didn't know exactly how Storm did this, so he just remained still trying not to make things to awkward. |

He sat with his legs crossed, clearing his throat, not bothering to make any eye contact, his shame reflecting in his eyes. "Uh, your wrist would be fine...." He didn't feel like getting up close and personal by going for his throat. He also didn't think he held that much control right now not to stop if he was given that much blood. The wrist was more limited. |

Shadow held out his wrist to Storm trying to make it as shameless as possible for Storm, knowing how much he hated to do this that he must to survive. |

Storm hesitated, but he took Shadow's arm and bent his hand back, bringing the inside of the man's wrist to his lips. "Just... make me stop if it hurts too bad... ok?.." His breath was cold on Shadow's wrist. It looked as if the demon were simply lightly kissing the wrist, but he slipped his fangs into the skin. It was not as painful as it might have seemed. His fangs were very slender and, in fact, it was less painless than if it had been a needle. Though, Storm was the one who always bit, not the one who was bitten and therefore didn't know how it felt. All he knew was the screams he'd gotten from many of his prior meals and only assumed it was a bad pain they felt. |

Shadow winced anticipating pain, but was met with very little. As the blood was drain from his body a slight amount, Shadow resisted the element that wanted to protect him. He had full control of his power, but the instinct still came and he contained it well. |

He drank for only a few moments, shivering as he did so, finally pulling away and wiping a drop of blood from his lips. "I'm sorry...." He apologized, his eyes still not meeting Shadow's as he struggled to get to his feet so that he could walk back to Narasu's warmth. |

"It wasn't that bad, and you don't have to apologize. If i didn't want you to, I wouldn't have let you," He said trying to comfort Storm's mind. Shadow held his hand above where small drops were trying to run and shadows stretched from beneath his wrist to above and formed tightly to his skin, making it resemble a black rectangle that went all the way around his wrist, then it faded to be the color of his skin. He then moved to help Storm but stopped thinking of the man's pride. "What should we do after we rest," Shadow asked moving to his previous spot in the sun and letting his body warm as he meditated. |

"Ya, wasn't that bad. I'm sure. I've had people scream from the pain before. I'm surprised you hid it so well, though." He coughed again, though it wasn't as bad this time. He made it to Narasu and the large dragon nudged him with his nose to help him get back onto his warm neck as he continued breathing smoke. Storm curled close to the dragon's body, to the only warmth he had right now. "I don't know, Shadow. All I know is badly I want my fire back. He said I had to pass a trial to get it, but I don't see a trial to be had." |

Shadow didn't respond as the darkness rose around him while meditating. His concentration waved a moment when Aeroth came through his mind saying, "Are things alright there?" Shadow replied telepathically as well. "Things are alright for now, but we have to get Storm's fire back. He won't make it through like this. We don't even know where to go from here.' He then added humorously, "Where is Rufus when you need him." On his side, Aeroth chuckled. He watched Crystal's still form on the water as he thought of the next move to make, seeing little hope until he was free to move around through the area as he pleased. |

Storm shivered again and curled up tighter. "Can you get any warmer, Narasu?" The dragon looked at him sadly. "I fear I cannot." He glanced around and picked himself up, using one of his great clawed paws to push down a younger tree. He breathed fire upon it, lighting it so it burned greatly. He then turned his head and picked up Storm by lightly biting the demon's collar of his shirt, carrying him over to the burning tree and setting him dangerously close by it, the flames close to licking the boy. Regardless, Storm smiled at the heat and scooted closer. Narasu's tail stopped him. "You will get burned. Keep that in mind." "It'll be worth it if it feels good." "It won't be worth it when you die of sickness from it. Stay." Storm sighed but nodded, staying close to the great fire. He glanced at Shadow. "I really am sorry I dragged you all into this. You don't have to stay, you know." |

Straining to keep his focus as he spoke he said, "I know I don't have to, but I wouldn't have come along with you if i didn't want to.I speak for my self and Aeroth, but we're here till the and longer." Once he stopped talking, there was silence, save for the crackle of the ragin fire. The tendrils and haze of shadows were thicker in that direction, protecting him from the heat and rays, the energy growing more as he continued resting. |

Narasu laid down, curling up his great body and resting his head on the ground, closing his eyes to the soft warmth of the fire near him. Storm let it remain silent for a moment, then allowed his voice to break the silence. "Why." Was all he asked. His eyes were on Shadow and they were hard but also confused. |

Though Storm would have more than several reasons, Shadow posed the question that would answer Storm's, and show that no argument would convince him his stand by Storm's side was the wrong place to be. He smile and said, "Why not." |

Storm glanced at him, his eyes withholding his emotions. "You're risking your lives for a single being. A demon, none-the-less. You could be in the comfort of your own home with Crystal safely at your side and Aeroth with you. Why would you choose this over that?"

"WE don't have homes really. Aside from being orphaned and homeless, i enjoy the adventure of the world and all that it brings, And i know she does too. She followed us here on her own after all. I also much prefer your company over that of the walls of a house.," He said letting his power fade out of existence again. He then stretched his arms out and laid backward at an easy position. "Besides, we've been through more than enough for me not to abandon you as so many have. Do you want to get rid of us that badly," Shadow said closing his cold black eyes. |

"No!" Storm jumped up in a sitting position at the question, looking at Shadow with alarm in his eyes. He then forced himself to look calm again, clearing his throat in embarassment. "I'm just curious, that's all...." He let his eyes fall. "It just doesn't make logical sense to me. For someone to choose this over comfort. I know I'm a lot to put up with. And I haven't met anyone other than Narasu willing to even attempt to put up with me. My bloodlust. And now my need of warmth. I swear, I get more pitiful everyday." He sighed. "If I could just find out what this trial is, I could pass it." Narasu opened his eyes. He knew what the trial was. But he was bound. He wasn't allowed to tell his rider what the trial was. He Storm was informed by anyone what the trial was, it would be voided and he would never get his fire back. However, Narasu had already found the loophole. He could tell anyone what the trial was as long as it wasn't Storm. |

Shadow smiled as he went to make a comment to storm about what it was to be a friend when he sat bolt up. his senses going into overdrive for a moment as he sensed something amiss. He looked to Narasu and said, "Do you sense anything off, or is it just me being tired?" |

Narasu looked at Shadow with one of his large eyes. "Child, my rider is without his power. Of course I feel something amiss. Aside from that, him and I seem fine. I do not know what you and your friends should feel like so I cannot answer your question properly." Storm glanced at Shadow, slight worry entering his blood-red eyes. "Is Crystal okay? She has Aeroth so I figured she would be fine...." |

As Aeroth's voice came through his head he jumped to his feet, his face showing that Storm's suspicion of Crystal being harmed was real. "Shadow, the water suddenly changed while Crystal was recovering. It became highly toxic. I saved her and am headed your way now." Just as he finished speaking, his massive black form came from the skies, gently lowering Crystal in his talons. Shadow reached out and took her in his arms gently laying her down away from the raging fire. Aeroth landed silently out of the way saying, "We need fresh water that we are sure isn't toxic," He said scanning around for ideas. |

Storm shivered, yet he still sat close to his fire. "None of us are familiar with anything around here. There's no telling what's near. The smartest thing we can do is get a village. The water can't be toxic there because humans have to drink it." He seemed about to move to Crystal's side, but even moving an inch from the fire seemed to freeze him and so he stayed in his place, his worried eyes staying on the girl, though. "Is she gona be ok?" Narasu nodded. "A village would be a perfect location. There is one not far from here at all. Can she make the ride, Shadow?" |
