Blaze was depressed that, despite his cheerful and full-of-energy greeting, no one replied. Even the guy who helped him with the door just ignored him. He was not sure what he was doing wrong. Maybe his breath? He opened his mouth near Paco's nose.

"Does it smell bad?" he asked.

"I am sure that not many would pick up the discreet smell of smoke from one's mouth, am I right?" Paco replied, once again in an ironic tone.

"If you ever use a dragonbreath and then your mouth smells like flowers, just let me know."

His attention then turned to Xabitz, who seemed to mutter something like "I hate this.". Blaze thought that he owed the young man a favor, so he decided to ask if he could help him in anyway. He was not so sure why, but the young man seemed uneasy, focused too much on his thoughts. He decided to confront him, but then he heard a noise. He turned his gaze to a man performing some sort of acrobatic and strength feats, of course not any of this was something that he himself was incapable of doing.

"Impressed?" Paco asked.

"You are kidding,right?"

After performing his acrobatics, the man approached landed near another man. He seemed gloom, silent and he seemed to have confidence issues, something that Blaze confirmed from his difficulty in speaking. However, what interested him the most was a closer look on the acrobat. He had animalistic features, like claws and canines. His build was bulky and intimidating, at least to other people. In a way, Blaze felt he was similar to this man, except from the fact that Blaze looked like a human. The other man then summoned a white orb of light and from the sounds of it, Blaze was sure that it was alive. A few moments later the young man left and the other approached Xabitz, from whom Blaze smelled fear.

"I hope he is not trying to attack the gentle guy who helped me." he thought.

Then he approached Actaeon and grabbed his shoulder.

"Nice build there fella! You sure look scary!" he said.

Slam!

"Ha... ha... HAAA!!!"

Slam!

Alicia's fist slammed into the marble wall of an empty room inside one of the wings of the temple, crying out in dolour. With an unimpressive bounce, her hand recoiled back, completely painlessly, a probable side effect of her power that made her immune to impacts. This painless feeling only made her attempt to punch with more force and with each jab the wall began to look worse and worse, but her hand remained flawless. Angrily, she gritted her teeth at the only feedback given by the impacts; a jolt up her arm that only lasted a second. The only lasting effect on her seemed to be the wrist wraps that she had made from some cloth she had found in her searches, which were steadily dampening as she began to sweat. Eventually, she discarded the wraps and moved onto kicks, with the same rage and fervour, her cries of fury ringing out in the room but were silenced by the thick stone walls.

Why?

Looking at the situation and past events objectively, one could guess that the reason for this deep rage was perhaps her arrival in this world, the truth being unveiled and the loss of her metal wings. However, it was none of these. In truth, the reason for her total annihilation of the wall was that she was angry at herself for her less than warm reception of the man who had introduced herself as Ryko. Only a few minutes ago, as she walked through the halls of the temple and its surrounding buildings, she had become conscious of the cold shoulder that she had given the man and compounded with the general bad mood of the former situation, she had quickly grown angry with herself.

And that is how we got here. However, midway into her destruction of the wall, it seemed the reason for her anger had changed dramatically.

"Stupid! Tall! Idiot! Calling me... a man!"

Indeed, it looked to be that now the reason for her continued fury was the mayhaps unintentional comment by the deity of dragons.

Crack

Under the force of the continued, powerful impacts, the block of marble cracked into two pieces. Alicia took this as a sign to stop and decided, after wiping the noticeable sweat off her with the wrist wraps and making sure she didn't carry too much of a smell, to quietly leave the room and she returned into the corridor, giving up the search for food after losing her hunger. Alternatively, she decided to return to the fountain and ask if anyone had plans on what to do. When she reached the doorway to the atrium once again, she made sure to smile as she entered, trying to at least give off a better second impression. Immediately, she noticed a few new faces and instinctively, she lost the smile and put on a guarded expression.

Looking around the atrium, she found Evangeline, still sitting at the fountain, the tall bastard, a thin, pale and lean man with grey eyes, Ryko and a beastly, intimidating looking stranger. Navigating her way through what seemed to be a rather heated discussion, she plopped herself down right next to Ryko, who was lazily relaxing on the pillow and after a moment of silence, spoke earnestly, "Hey, listen, sorry about earlier. I was in a bad mood, but.. I've worked it out of my system, you know? Anyway, I was wondering if you didn't happen to have any idea of what exactly we're supposed to do here. I'm kind of lost, really." She smiled weakly in an attempt to give off a more friendly look, but she found it somewhat difficult.

"Nice build you have there fella," Actaeon heard as a hand landed on his shoulder, "you sure look scary."

Actaeon turned around and grabbed the man by the throat letting out an ear splitting roar, showing his canines. He then let go of the man and smiled. He stuck his hand out for a handshake and introduced himself.

"Actaeon," he began " god of wild beasts and the hunt. And you would be?"

Actaeon's roar annoyed Blaze, because oh his enhanced sense of hearing. The man let his throat and extended his arm. His claws were sharp, probably capable of shredding skin and bone alike with ease. He gave of a smell of wildness, ferocity and viciousness.

"Actaeon, god of wild beasts and the hunt. And you would be?

"A god? First time I've met one..." he commented, unknown to him that everyone around him was a deity, including him.

"I am Blaze! Sorry for not having a fancy title, but I don't think I can call myself a god or something. Despite that, nice to meet you!" he replied gently.

He extended his arm as well. As he shaked hands, Actaeon's upper part of his suit ripped a bit between his chest. Blaze did it the same moment Actaeon grabbed his throat.

"It's good to be strong, but don't scare people around. Especially the buddy over there who helped me when I was in a pinch!" he said reffering to Xabitz.

Not a very long rest she had thought. The voices finally calmed, and she was able to shut her eyes. Her silk attire seemed to be untouched, no wrinkles from the night sleep, her feet still bare. That's the way she enjoyed to be most of the time, to feel the ground underneath her made her feel balanced. The sun was bright, but it only bled through smalls pots of where the jungle reached up to meet the clouds, the rest was in hues of vivid blues and greens. She walked down the temple's long hall way that met out to the open ledge. She also wondered how they would get off of there, they didn't really think they would stay up here forever?

As she reached the entry way, she stopped abruptly not understanding the scene in front of her. It looked as if the two were ready to kill one another to a friendly handshake. She closed her eyes briefly. Don't think about, don't think about it. She couldn't ask herself why when she knew it would be almost unexplainable. Those were the worst thoughts. She finally opened them and took a deep breath, there should be no reason for her to be afraid to introduce to herself. She would not lock herself in a room, and hide.

"I am sorry for interrupting, but I thought I should introduce myself also." She paused, her words not quite flowing like she wanted them to. Okay, she was a bit nervous. She hadn't seen things so... intimidating in real life. She recomposed herself, and let a warm smile fall across her cheeks as she too reached out her hand gently.

"My name is Evangeline, deity of Complexity."

Blaze smelled an elegant fragrance not to far from here. Moments later, an exotic, beautiful lady approached them. Her clothes were matching her slender body as if they were sewed for her. Her hair were neatly arranged past her waist and their dark colour reminded Blaze of the starless night sky he would sometimes enjoy viewing. Mixed with all these, was a smell of nervousness.

"I am sorry for interrupting, but I thought I should introduce myself also."

Her words gave off a vibe of hesitation. Blaze figured out it was normal, seeing a guy with razor-sharp claws, teeth and the strength to make the most of their destructive ability being face to face with a man with red eyes, obviously unintimidated by his murderous features. He was never happy to know that he or his actions terrified someone, or even made him feel uneasy. Blaze then remembered she was the lady that didn't respond to his greeting along with another two men (one of them being Alicia).

"Maybe she didn't hear me that time, no big deal", he honestly thought.

She gently reached out her hand near those two.

"My name is Evangeline, deity of Complexity.", she said with a gentle smile.

He touched her hand as lightly as he could and with an earnest smile of his own, he replied:

"As I was saying to our wild friend a while ago, I can't claim to be a Deity. Apart from that, I apologize if we scared you.I am the Dragon Child, Blaze. Nice to meet you miss!"

Blaze then felt something pulling his leg. It was Paco, who was trying to introduce himself as well.

"Oh, and he is Paco, my long-time friend!"

"Nice to meet you as well, madame" his little companion said.

She felt confused by his reply, he couldn't identify as a deity. Maybe they would not all be the same after all, which puzzled her. Not in a bad way, just knowing her mind would be at work trying to figure out what a dragon child was.

"So you must be special." Her tone was sincere as much as her statement. If he was not a deity like the rest of the people she had met, maybe that meant that he was special, different. HIs appearance was different, but she learned to not judge from the outside, she had learned a lot more about how appearance hardly matters to a true person's emotions.

"I am sorry, by the way. For not noticing you before." She stopped, her hand moved to cover her mouth but she stopped it. She hadn't learned that from remembering his appeerance but his thought had slipped in to her head. She tucked her hair behind her ear as her face became red. "I am sorry, I try my hardest not to do that... but.." She gripped the side of her arm and looked away. She hated that, and people hated that. To know that someone could read their thoughts, but she would never do it for her own convenience, it was only nature for her mind to grasp people around.

She looked down and smiled to see the small creature close to Blaze's ankles. She leaned down to get a better look at him and widened her smile.

"Nice to meet you Paco, Evangeline." She leaned back up and then looked to the doors outside. She looked back at Blaze and pointed towards outside of the temple. "I was planning to go outside, would you care to join me?" Her voice was soft and tranquilant again. She turned and began to make her way out slowly enough for the man to be able to keep up with her if he chose to do so.

"So you must be special."

Blaze never considered himself special, since he was always with dragons. Sure he was stronger than most of his kind, but that was all. However, the sincerity that emitted from her words made Blaze feel that way. It was a first for him to see someone speak gently to him from the time he left from his home, with the exception of Paco. Throughout his journey he only met wild animals that tried to devour him. Even here, the first person who greeted him has grabbed his throat first. He was not afraid once, but he sometimes felt that he was standing out.Before he could reply, Evangeline continued:

"I am sorry, by the way. For not noticing you before."

Her sudden blushing and pose, along with her apology made Blaze feel uneasy. It's not like she did something wrong, or at least something that bothered him. She then greeted Paco and asked if Blaze would join her outside. She was the first person to approach him and he was really happy for the invitation.

"It would be a pleasure!" Blaze replied and followed her in the same slow pace that she walked. "By the way, I think that what you did was really amazing, knowing what I thought, I mean. Don't feel bad, I don't have anything to hide. This is one of your powers, I assume?"

He turned to look as he heard the voice of the woman from before. Did... she tell him her name before? He couldn't remember... It's a wonder he was even able to remember his own name. With how much information went through his head everyday, it was a wonder it was still functioning. Part of the magic, I suppose. Still.. He looked over at the girl as she seemed to be much more chatty now, having apologized for earlier. Slowly, a smile crept onto his face, listening to her talk.

"Hey, listen, sorry about earlier. I was in a bad mood, but.. I've worked it out of my system, you know? Anyway, I was wondering if you didn't happen to have any idea of what exactly we're supposed to do here. I'm kind of lost, really." She said, with an attempted smile.

Ryko chuckled, seeing the awkward nature of her smile. "You don't have to pretend to smile. Though, I would prefer you smile. People are always more beautiful when they smile, don't you agree?" He told her, flashing her his pearly whites, a playful look in his eyes. "As to what we're doing here..." He began, trying to collect his thoughts. "From what I saw on the letter, I'm assuming we're just meant to stay here and... find ourselves? I know it's sounds rather mushy but... I think it's what we're meant to do. You know? Come to terms with who we're supposed to be and what to do with that." He paused. "From the looks of it, we all need that... reflection." He continued, chuckling. "Though..." He began again, looking around the room. "It seems as though some of us are more informed as to our situation than others." He said, more reflecting than actually telling her anything. "Oh. I never caught your name." He blurted out, turning now to look at her again, a small smile on her face and in his eyes.

As usual, his deep blue eyes were swirling, twinkling, almost as if one could see the souls, the memories held there. To him, it was like a computer in his head, one he could thankfully turn off and on as he pleased, though the voices never really stopped. To him, he could see the souls, their timelines, all of their different lives that make them who they are. It was so beautiful, so magnificent, it made him sick sometimes. It likes how the humans refer to God as this being so beautiful one cannot even spare to look at him for more than a second before their eyes burst into flame and they never see again. It was like for him, painfully beautiful.

She smiled back at him as he agreed to come with her, she walked out letting the breeze hit her face gently and carry her hair. It was warm out but not enough to break a sweat with the cool breeze that carried through. She still couldn't fathom just how beautiful this played had turned out to be. She stopped and stared until she looked back at him a bit surprised. He then asked her if that had been one of her powers. Could she really call it a power? Nothing great ever came out of interfering with someone's thoughts and emotions. The real secret is that she could manipulate a person's thoughts or emotions, something else she never wanted to do nor speak about with others. It could be a cruel outcome when used wrong.

"I suppose it is. I try hard not to, the mind is a delicate place for one. Every thing that matters is held captive in a place only meant for one person. Why should I abide the rules and be able to assault one's thoughts." She began to ramble her thoughts, thankful that she was capable of stopping when she did, she could run on for hours if he allowed. She made her way to the edge, to look down wondering when she'd be able to touch the earth's core again. She turned to face him. "What is one of your powers, Dragon child?" Her smile was now playful as if she was playing tag with questions from him.

Indra was sleeping under an oak tree with one thought on her mind " How i can use my full potential when i have 3 men under my nose all the time? I want to be free again!".
She opened her eyes.
- A letter on my chest? What is this?
She opens the letter and reads it:

You are here to learn how to take my place when the time comes.
You may be upset with me now, but my dear you will understand
Everything when the day arrives. You will become a God.
Your own
.
After reading the letter the next thing she saw was not the oak tree that she was sleeping it was a huge tree on its place and next to it a temple she never had seen before "i dont remember travelling to another planet" she tought . Nevertheless she was curious what temple that was and started moving to it. Moving up the stairs she sees a huge temple and before that a massive metallic man,reffering to conquestus " What a rusty and ugly looking robot doing on a beautiful temple as this" she thought. "Maybe its out of batteries" she thought again.
- "Maybe its the person which gave me the letter" she said
-"I know what ill do ill search for the batteries that he may need and recharge him" she said and started looking on the "metallic" man with one purpose

- Maybe he knows the meaning of the letter...

Blaze let the breeze refresh his body. The scenery was as beautiful as ever. The limitless sky in front of him, the same sky that he used to appreciate when in a dragon's back. His face gave off a nostalgic feeling, as he was curious if everyone was all right. He was lost in his thought for a moment, then he remembered he was not alone. He didn't want to create a gloomy atmoshpere. He locked his thoughts to the bottom of his mind.

"I suppose it is. I try hard not to, the mind is a delicate place for one. Every thing that matters is held captive in a place only meant for one person. Why should I abide the rules and be able to assault one's thoughts."

Blaze could guess how hard it might have been for her to have powers that went against her ethics. Constantly having to control her own thoughts, emotions, so they don't mix with another person. It certainly was not something that anybody could handle.

"I believe that you must be a really strong-willed person, being able to cope with your powers. I am impressed!" he commented.

She walked to the edge of the platform the temple was standing at. Blaze stopped a few steps behind, as he thought that he should let her appreciate the view undisturbed. He has seen the panoramic view of Desnia quite a few times, so he knew its magnificence. Later, the young woman asked him what was one of his own powers in a joyful tone.

"My powers? Well, I am not as impressive as most people I have seen around here. I was raised by dragons, but some time before I left for my journey, I learned that I wasn't born there. Despite that, the dragons raised me as one of their own. Steadily, I acquired their knowledge, wisdom, power...", he paused, then, gently, flames came out from his mouth, forming the form of Evangeline dancing slowly in a cicrle of fire.

"And their flames...I hope I didn't freak you out...By the way, what do you want to do, I mean, before we got here." he concluded.

She faced him as he spoke, giving him the respect anyone deserved when asked a question. Her eyes dazzled like the night sky, as dark as they were they seemed to shine bright. One thing about herself she enjoyed, her eyes were also used as a passage, a bond age of the soul. Something beautiful yet terrifying, her eyes being one of her most lethal weapons. She smiled as he gave her remorse for something she found to be wrong, but that was why she was here. To learn.

She looked back over the ledge momentarily before scanning the area where she stood, a large stone bench sat no father than a few feet from them. She carefully made her way to the bench and sat down with her hands in her lap. She looked up to him, fairly interested In his story about being raised by dragons. She had always loved the thought of dragons, she spent time reading always bout different genres, different ways to train dragons but she hadn't believed them to be true, but Blaze's passion about it made it sound surreal.

Evangeline could not help but to smile wide, as if nostalgia surrounded her. Soon a figure of her own was formed out of flames, they mixed so perfectly that it almost looked harmless. She reached out cautiously to watch watch a flame spark and dance around her fingers. She smiled as she watched it dance before disappearing. He apologized but she could only smile, examining her hand.

"I could feel your affinity, fire. You have a very unique bond because it does not come from only fire but a stronger sense of heat which I'm guessing comes from your bold companions. How fascinating" She looked up at him, her face bright. She laughed quietly before stopping due to his next question. Her smile lightened but not leave her face. " I was not sure if I'm honest with you, I didn't spend a lot of time in my own mind so it is quite difficult to know where I was going." She looked at him with a shrug, just a soft one. She leaned back letting her hair float more freely. "Please do not think of me as misfortuned, I know I may pity myself. But life is a thrill is it not?" Her smile brightened once more. "What about you?"

Blaze smiled as Evangeline touched the dancing figure. He was glad that she enjoyed it,instead of fearing it. Before he realized it, he had a wholehearted smile. He finally had a person he could speak to, without having to hide anything about himself. He sighed of relief and enjoyed her speech about his flames. Her speech was so elegant, fitting a Deity like herself. Her words touched him, like he never knew a thing about his flames and had to learn about them from the very beginning. However, he sensed her sense of discomfort on his next question. Her answer, followed by a slight shrug made Blaze wonder if he made a mistake asking such a question. However with her next question, it was Blaze's turn to lose his smile.

"Please do not think of me as misfortuned, I know I may pity myself. But life is a thrill is it not? What about you?"

Blaze approached the edge of the platform as well. He looked at the green, blue and brown colours of nature, sea and mountains respectively. Uneasiness filled his expression.

"Somewhere down there, there is a dragon...", he closed his eyes and sighed, this time not from relief, but from sadness.

"...That I have to kill." he continued. "A dark dragon, halbringer of destruction. Some time ago, before I was born, a Dragon named Urumel betrayed his kin, slaughtering dragons, his reason unknown. He is considered the strongest of all dragons and he is pure evil. Everywhere he lands, becomes a sight of black flames. Nothing more. Now, it is my task to kill one of my own, even if he is evil." he said, his voice slightly shaking.

He looked at her once again, her face somewhat calming him down.

"Life might be a thrill, but sometimes an unpleasant one...But everyone carries his own cross, so I am not complaining", he concluded with a discreet smile.

Her face burrowed in to a upset frown, to say one is pure evil is truly a bold statement. She wanted to argue against the thought of death before reason, but many see a eye for an eye. She fixed her face quickly not to offend. She looked over the edge along with him.

"Pure evil.. What do we believe to be truly evil? We all live by different morals so who is to say is who is in the wrong doing." She was doing it again. She stood up, her eyes began to flicker, from dark hues of greys to white but not a scary way. They seemed to be adjusting. "Some people believe death is meant for people who kill people, people say the worst is deserved to those who conflict pain and tragedy to others, but then we believe that pain is the correct punishment? We don't think far enough in to one's journey to reconsider if their life is worth providing." She turned to face him understanding that her statement was overbarring, and bias. "But please do not mistake me, some people do not deserve to live, but.. like I said, the mind is a delicate place..." Her face slightly grew grim as she imaged an unpleasant memory. "I was once stuck inside the head of a man who was on something called 'Death Row?' that is what they call it correct? Well, he shared with me his most elicit thoughts, I found him beautiful and fell in love with his ideas... His last words were, 'My Lizzy-Rose." She paused and smiled to look back at him.

"His daughter that is, she died at the age of three for some unknown reason, he was only trying to do best by her." She paused her eyes, fully dazzling in the color of the moon. "He did horrible things, terrible. But he only wanted everything he could get for his daughter. Life punished him by loving too much, but he couldn't love her enough." She smiled once more as she could see his vivid dreams of them playing together at the local park. She stopped. Looking up quickly her eyes faded back to the glitter black. "I am sorry, I sometimes can't stop that." She giggled even though her heart was heavy. She smiled back up at him, this one a playful one again to revive the atmosphere they had going. "Life is only pleasant to those who allow it to be pleasant. But do not doubt yourself, most would say your cross is a noble one." She knew she had smiled too much, but she didn't know what else to do. A smile was something she didn't take lightly, it was respect, affection, comfort something she wanted to provide for everyone.

"I am not sure why I am here. I am supposed to learn about myself instead of everyone around me, well inside my own thoughts."

She was passionate about her story. Blaze thought that this may be because of the fact that she saw the images she described through the person who lived them,instead of hearing them from a wandering story teller. As she continued, Blaze had a bigger understanding of the burden her powers had. She finished her story and Blaze had but one question.

"If evil is subjective,then good is as well...so has this man ever considered what would his daughter think of his actions? Would she be able to bear the shame, if she managed to live, because of her father's atrocities?"

He could not utter those words, not after seeing her smile again. Instead he remained silent, even though Evangeline could simply find out what he was thinking at the moment. Her final words made him think how hard it might be to unwillingly have to cling to the memories of another.

"I hope that you find what you seek, Evangeline...if I am allowed to call you so familiarly." he humbly said.

He then continued:

"I also believe that a smile is one of the greatest blessings!"

Although he didn't have her powers, he was certain that this was what she was thinking.

He was interrupted by Paco, who pointed over another lady who seemed to examining a 4 meter tall armor.

"Shall we check out what is going on?" he asked.

Her smile brightened. "Of course you may call me that, you may call me whatever you please." She liked nick names, like Ali-Bird the name she gave to the young woman she had met yesterday, Endless. Evangeline truly adored the name Endless, but the girl had seemed to disapprove of her own name. She didn't know what to say when he wished her good luck. When she thought about finding herself, she didn’t know what to expect out of the outcome. It also didn’t mean it would be positive or negative for that fact, but she took the luck and held it close. Anything was better than not trying.

She blinked a few times when he mentioned the smile, she thought momentarily but forced herself to push it from her thoughts. Like how could he have known that? Did she say it to him? No. Let’s not do that right now, she had kept herself pretty balanced for the time being. Luckily his next question distracted her from her thoughts.

“Why not?” She wasn’t exactly sure what they were going to go see but she didn’t mind adventure. She stood along side of him and let him lead the way.

Blazed moved ahead of Evangeline, both to lead the way and in order to protect her in the unlikely chance that something happened. Physically, he was stronger than her, or at least he thought so, so he didn't want to take any chances. After walking a few meters, they approached a gigantic, shady statue and someone on top of it. Blaze was certain she was a female, because of the curves, the only way for him to recognize women. She seemed to be examining the statue, but he was not sure why. The statue was emitting some kind of dark aura, something that didn't match the holiness that described the rest of the temple. In addition, it was not place in an architectonically logical position, like it was randomly there. Something was off. Blaze concentrated on his hearing. He tried to listen if the man inside the armor had a heartbeat, but to no avail. Maybe the armor secluded the heartbeat, or maybe it was indeed a statue...or it was alive and had no heartbeat. The idea seemed unreal, but all this time Blaze was durrounded by Deities, so it wouldn't seem impossible. Then he examined the runes on the shield of that thing and compared them to any runes he spotted in the temple. No match. He turned to Evangeline.

"I am pretty sure that this motionless statue does not belong here and, even though it's a hunch, I think that it is alive." he said.

Then he turned to the woman on top of it.

"Excuse me miss, but it might not be safe to mess with this thing. It might be dangerous!" he said aloud.

Indra was right something about this mettalic thing was off. After closer examination on its runes she were sure she had seen them before. "Where have i seen those runes?" she thought. Nevertheless she continued searching him. Untill she saw a blue gem emmiting some kind of light in the chest of the giant. "This is it !" she yelled
-I might be able t recharge him by shocking this gem in the middle. she said
On the road down the giant she heard a noise. something like "it is dangerous"

This is when for the first time for a while she felt a presence. A gentle presence,a furious presence,an angry presence. "No way all those come from one person" she noded.
When the way down made it posssible she saw a bunch on people coming at her. "Maybe they leave here.. Maybe they have answers!" she thought. At that time She became the very essence of air and dissapeared from sight and reappeared in front of strangers that they talked to her.
-Where am i? came from her lipps with a very gentle tone from her voice

The woman reappeared in front of Blaze in an instant. He couldn't even follow her presence. Her attire was quite revealing, covering only her sensitive spots. Blaze was not sure if this was an appropriate or innapropriate way of dressing oneself, but he supported the latter idea. Her aura was a mystery itself, not evil, but not a gentle one either. He was curious about this woman. A friend? An enemy? Neither of them? She asked them if they knew where they are, a question Blaze couldn't answer confidently either.

"She must have been brought here like us..." he thought.

He approached closer to the woman and extended his hand.

"I am the Dragon Child, Blaze. Just like you, we have been mysteriously brought here without explanation. From what I know so far, most of the people around us are Deities of some kind, while others, like myself, are unaware of their arrival here, because we do not share that status. This is my friend, Evangeline and this is my companion, Paco. Nice to meet you!" he responded.

Paco this time did not introduce himself. Instead he was hiding behind Blaze. His insticts were telling him that this woman is dangerous. Blaze noticed his action and decided to be on his guard. He didn't have any intention of not trusting the woman before him, but he had to protect both Paco and Evangeline.

"So, who are you, miss?" he asked.
