A mysterious smile slipped onto his lips. "That is a secret not even I know the answer to... But it is real when it needs to be and other times no more than a shimmer in the air."

"I see...Well then..." Dyami feets scotted across the grass until his body became low. "Let's find out." He then pounced into the air toward Aoi. Dyami's unleashed his whip to snap across Aoi's back. He landed in flip behind his back. He unleashed his whip again to grab Aoi's ankle and pulled him down on to the ground.

He dodged the whip that lashed out at his back easily enough, but it caught his ankle. However, his skin seemed fluid and somewhat... not... almost as if it was wind it self and untouchable. He seamed to slip out of the whip's grasp without conscious effort, as fluid and shimmering as the blade he held. He then lashed out with the sword, arm stretching out to full length. the tip barely brushed the other's arm, but immiadte bruises spread from the point. The blade was firy and icy and fluid and stollid all at once, the feircest of storms contained withing one shimering point.

Dyami felt the slight bruise as he dodged the sword. He winced as he felt the pain. His eyes glaring at the bruise, "If this is what a slight bruise can do, I don't want to find out what a full one can do." Dyami turned around and around into a whirlwind. Creating leaves to become as piercing as knives, there were a only a few that would hit Aoi though, and they would only hit his sides. He twirled out of the whirlwind and stood defensively.

He smiled. A whirlwind? How... convenient. It was easy to warp it to his will, after all, it was mainly air and that was at his control. The flow of leaves shifted away from him and fell harmlessly around his form in snow-liked swirls of motion. The wind rose again, so strong it sounded like a woman singing. Aoi seemed to shudder and suddenly fell down, clutching his ears.
His mother was there, in front of him, screaming. "No, Mum, it's okay, no don't scream, it's okay, the men, they won't find us, don't scream, don't -" The screaming stopped, a blade thrust through her from behind, and she died instantly.
Aoi rocked back and forth, trying to ignore the sound of the screaming wind and tears ran down his cheeks. "No, Mum, it's okay, no don't scream, it's okay, the men, they won't find us, don't scream, don't scream, please, Mum..."

"Aoi?" Dyami got up from his defensive stance and ran over to Aoi's aid. He put his hands on Aoi's arms. "Hey! Aoi! Snap out of it! What's wrong? Aoi!"

He looked up. His hands had been clutching at his face so feircly that blood dripped down his cheeks and stained his nails, fingers and hands. "Dya...mi..." he said slowly, as if he had only just remembered the other's existence. The wind died down and the shrieking stopped and he seemed to calm, although he was still trembling.

Dyami looked at Aoi's injury and looked into his eyes concernly. "Are you ok? What happened back there?" Dyami heard him scream out for his mother. Could it be possible that his mother didn't merely die of a disease, but from something much more frightening. He held Aoi in his arms, "You're alright now, I'm glad."

He shook in the other's arms, blood streaming freely down his cheeks. In fact, the blood flow was much swifter than it should have been, being such small cuts. Aoi was horrified to find as he looked down at his nails that they were nail his usual shell-pink perfections, but the crystal icily shimmering of the blade. He shivered. He knew his sword had its own personality - as much a personality as any blade, magical or not, could have - but this?

Dyami looked down at the other and saw he was bleeding, badly, "Oh no, not again! My healing magic is low at the moment from the last time I tried to heal you." He clapped his hand's around the other's head to hold the bleeding. Dyami's aura began to glow slightly to heal the small wounds, though very lightly to leave scabs on them. He helped Aoi up, one arm around his shoulders, and led him into the back of the castle where the medicine supplies were.

He fingered the scabs on his cheeks and sighed. His nails were normal again. He scent a breath of healing wind into himself and his cheeks finished thehealing process, leaving his face unblemished.

Dyami looked back and smiled, "Back to normal huh?" He was still holding Aoi with his arm so he let go. "It seemed like you lost control back there. It's not good for when you're defending yourself against the enemy." He reached into the box that looked like ice, his mother made it, the stranger thing is, the ice never melted. He opened the ice box pulled out a cool tea drink and handed it to Aoi. "Here, this drink will make you feel better."

He took the drink and sipped at it. "It... wasn't me... It was the same wind as that day..." he said, shivering... "I... that was my mother... screaming..." he said bleakly.

Dyami starred calmly at Aoi. It's possible that perhaps there was some sort of civil war within the country or something that happened dramatically. He spoke, "What happened to your mother?"

"You know I was... well, found at seven and became prince then... Well... the Fire Kingdom... they raided my village... Mother, she... she became histarical... she was our village's Seer, she was very power, but sickly... Then had been staying at the local inn and had seen her and... I think they gave her... something... And then they came in and... they'd already killed everyone else and..." He gulped. "They killed her... I saw it all, everything... and father was dead - stabbed - on the doorstep..."
