The sun was just peeking over the tree line Sulleykaar sat in the garden of the school, his gaze deep into the water that fell from the fountain. The past week was interesting to say the least, especially with [i]that[/i] night but at the same time it was somewhat relieving. His eyes flickered crossed from the fountain and over to a couple sitting on the other end. He took a deep breath in and looked towards the sky.

[h2][i]One Week Prior: Night of the Ball[/i][/h2]

With her arm wrapped around his he let a small smile escape the sides of his mouth before quickly stowing it away. [color=9e0b0f]I suggest we go to this wonderful lake that is only about a hour away...Walking of course. By flight its only about 15 minutes."[/color] He lead them to the front doors of the school and opened them to the outside. He released himself from Kiara and rolled his shoulders and neck, a light breeze flowed through his hair, lifting it away from his body. He grinned widely. [color=9e0b0f]"Finally can release this damn form for a bit."[/color] He lept forward off of the steps as two massive front claws reached the ground and begun moving forward as a large, scaly slender-like body followed with a head as large if not larger than a car. By the end of the transformation, he reached in total over 150ft long with a wingspan to match his body. His massive head turned to face the two. [color=9e0b0f][b]"Kiara-"[/b][/color] His voice trembled the ground but still remained as smooth as ever. [color=9e0b0f][b]"GO AHEAD OF US IF YOU COULD PLEASE KIARA. WE WILL CATCH UP TO YOU-"[/b][/color] His head turned to the side to see Morgan. It was bad enough in human form sent chills down Morgan's spine but what about a piercing gaze larger then the headlights on a truck? [color=9e0b0f][b]"I NEED TO TALK TO MORGAN IN PRIVATE."[/b][/color] His eyes glowed dimly. He would watch her g on ahead before his focus was pulled back to Morgan. [color=9e0b0f][b]YOU HAD SAID EARLIER THIS EVENING THAT YOU FEEL I MAKE YOU UNCONFORTABLE WITH THIS "[i]LOOK[/i]" I GIVE YOU, ONE THAT MAY HAVESOME HIDDEN HOSTILITIES OR RESENTMENT AND I WOULD BE LYING IF I SAID IT WASN'T TRUE. YOUR RIGHT... I CANNOT STAND YOUR FACE..."[/b][/color] He belched what sounded like a large truck starting but in his true form it was merely a soft chuckle. [color=9e0b0f][b]"IT IS MORE IN THE "I HAVE DONE COUNTLESS HORRIFIC THINGS THAT HAVE CAUSED INNOCENT BLOOD TO SPILL AND AMONG THOSE CORPSES THAT LINE MY PAST YOU HAPPEN TO RESEMBLE ONE OF THOSE WHOSE DEATHS WHICH HAUNT ME TO THIS DAY."[/b][/color] He snorted out two rather large clouds of smoke on either side of Morgan. He brought his head up higher to where the guards were posted and gave them a sight nod, reassuring them of their safety. He sighed. [color=9e0b0f][b]HE WAS A KIND GENTLEMAN WHO HAD A LOVELY WIFE AND CHILDREN WHO ADORED HIM. THEY WANTED NOTHING ELSE THEN TO BE LIKE THEIR [i]PAPA[/i]. IT WAS AT A TIME WHERE I WAS STILL WORKING WITH MY ELDEST BROTHER - THE ONE WHO RUINED THIS WONDERFUL EVENING."[/b][/color] He bore his teeth at the mention of his brother. They were as big if not bigger then daggers and glistened in the moonlight. [color=9e0b0f][b]BUT I DIGRESS. I WAS, AT THE TIME, APART OF A...FAMILY OF SORTS, KNOWN AS THE CHILDREN OF TIAMAT, WHOSE POWER AND INFLUENCE HAD SPREAD OVER 3 REALMS AND 15 KINGDOMS AT THE TIME. I WAS IN CHARGE OF INTELLIGENCE, COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE AND INTERROGATION TECHIQUES. GIVE ME A 12 HOURS AND I COULD HAVE A CITY UNDER MY CONTROL... GIVE ME A WEEK AND A KINGDOM WAS MINE."[/b][/color]

 A menacing smile but only briefly passed across his face before it became more dejected. [color=9e0b0f][b]"THIS OF COURSE WAS MY THOUGHT PROCESS AT THE TIME BUT AS I WAS SAYING. THE CHILDREN OF TIAMAT HAD STARTED TO SINK THEIR GREEDY TEETH INTO THE KINGDOM OF CALD'YEM. CALD'YEM WAS KNOWN FOR THEIR CONNECTION TO THE FEY LINES AND THEIR TRADE ROUTES BETWEEN CARCIRUS AND RAVENSRUN. VERY SIGNIFICANT OBJECTIVES FOR THE GROUP. SPIES WERE SENT THROUGHOUT THE RANKS OF ITS ARMIES AND INDIVIDUALS INTO THEIR POLITICAL STRUCTURE WITH ME AT THE HELM. SAMUEL'S HOUSE WAS GOING TO BE USED AS A FORWARD BASE OF OPERATIONS AND CONVINCING HIM WASN'T TOO HARD. I TOLD HIM THAT I RAN A RATHER LARGE AND PROFITABLE BUSINESS THAT DEALT IN MULTIPLE SERVICES AND FELT THAT STAYING IN THE HEART OF THE KINGDOM ITSELF WOULD BE DANEROUS FOR ME SINCE MANY OF MY COMPETITORS HAD BUSINESS HERE AND WITH SOMEONE OF MY STANDING IT WOULDN'T BE SAFE FOR MY HEALTH SO I FELT IT WOULD BE BEST TO STAY WITH A LOCAL FAMILY. I PROMISED TO PAY FOR FOOD AND ANYTHING THAT THEY MAY NEED AS LONG AS THEY KEPT MY WHEREABOUTS QUIET. EVERYTHING HAD BEEN GOING SMOOTHLY UNTIL IT WAS TIME FOR US TO MOVE INTO THE CITY TO TAKE CONTROL..."[/b][/color]  He looked up towards the sky and sighed before glancing down at him. [color=9e0b0f][b]"HE HAD FOUND OUT WHO I TRULY WAS AND THEREFORE I HAD TO DISAPPEAR YET AGAIN. BUT...SADLY...I HAD BEEN GIVEN AN ORDER. ANY AND ALL LOOSE ENDS-"[/b][/color] He paused. [color=9e0b0f][b]"I HAD ONLY SPENT A FEW MONTHS IN THIS HOUSE WITH THIS FAMILY MORGAN AND I CONSIDERED THEM ONE OF THE CLOSEST THINGS I HAVE HAD TO A FAMILY, A TRUE FAMILY...MINUS MY YOUNGER BROTHER OF COURSE."[/b][/color] [color=9e0b0f][b]"BUT WHEN THOSE ORDERS CAME I COULD CUT THE LOOSE ENDS EXCEPT FOR THAT FAMILY. THEN MY BROTHER GOT INVOLVED AND AFTER A LONG TRAMATIC ARGUEMENT HE HELD ME DOWN AND FORCED ME TO WATCH AS HE MASSACURED THE FAMILY. SAMUEL'S KIDS' SCREAMS STILL HAUNT MY DREAMS FROM TIME TO TIME."[/b][/color] 

He looked at Morgan for any sign of response before continuing. [color=9e0b0f][b]"BUT ALL OF THAT ASIDE IT'S THE WAY YOU HOLD YOURSELF, THE WAY YOU SPEAK EVEN WHEN THE ONE INFRONT OF YOU IS AS [i]INTIMIDATING[/i] AS THEY COME. THE WAY YOU CHOOSE YOUR WORDS... ITS ADMIRABLE AND I GIVE YOU MERIT FOR IT BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT CLAWS AT MY CONCIOUS AND CAUSES ME PAIN."[/b][/color] He shook his large head. [color=9e0b0f][b]"DO YOU DESERVE IT? THE COLD SHOULDER? THE ANGER? NO AND FOR THAT I AM SORRY BUT YOU HAD TO KNOW WHY."[/b][/color] He remained silent for sometime before he leaned down to the side. [color=9e0b0f][b]"COME...WE CAN'T LET KIARA WAIT TOO MUCH LONGER."[/b][/color] Sulley waited until Morgan hopped on before jumping slightly, his massive wings flapped up and down, helping lift him off the ground before using a little bit of magic to help move him forward towards the lake. As he flew he remained silent. If Morgan wanted to say anything he was more than welcome to but he figured that he would think about what he said. [color=9e0b0f][b]"OH AND MORGAN...DO NOT TELL HER I TOLD YOU THIS. WHAT I HAVE TOLD YOU TONIGHT REMAINS BETWEEN YOU AND ME."[/b][/color]

[h2][i]Presently: School Garden[/i][/h2]

[color=9e0b0f][i]'I'm sorry Kiara but I just couldn't-'[/i][/color] Sulley thought before he suddenly had decided to stand up and make his way to the lake. He wasn't going to fly like last time. Deciding a nice quiet walk would do him well. He kinda hoped to see Kiara or Morgan along the way but after that night he didn't really want to talk to Morgan. He didn't hate him but he still had trouble coming to terms with Morgan and his resemblance. Morgan had tried to talk to him about it a few times but he blew it off. However that night was a major step towards bettering himself not just as a friend but as an individual.
