Welcome to Gaia! ::

**enter from coven**
mortis walked towards the bar for a stiff drink. he had to tread past jaden so in passing he muttered low enough for his companion to hear. "your boy here ever needs a class on defense let me know." he continued to the tender about half length of the bar and said."hurricane por favor" as he plopped some money on the counter.

"Wonderful isn't he?" Jaden muttered sarcastically as he watched Mortis's progress to the bar. "That's one of the DeathDealers that want my hide. I wouldn't pay him any mind, he's been recently presuaded to leave me alone for awhile."
He turned back to Dusk and touched his fingertips together in deep thought. "For starters" he said tenteatively. "you don't need to know everything there is about my past but I'll try to fill you in on some blanks."
Jaden sighed and leaned back in his seat. "My first two years are kind of blurry because during that time I was a wolf. I believe thats why they thought I'd be so useful. You see, the rest of my family, even though they were pure breeds from an elder bloodline, were born as humans. From what I gathered later both of my siblings began there lunar transformations at the age of five. Anyway, my father thought it would be easier to control me if I wasn't a wolf so he had some sort of seal placed upon me that restricted my body from transforming." he stopped momentarily and seemed to shudder at some thoughts. "Well they kept me in a dungeon most of the time but you don't need to hear that. It turned out one day that someone had snuck into my room and that was the first time I met Ki'lin." he stopped again and a shadow of pain seemed to flicker across his face. "I hadn't known she even existed. But she learned about me and came to see me. She was so happy about having a 'nice' brother. I used to call her just Ki because she was my secret that couldn't be taken away..." he stopped and seemed to drift off into memories.

"Oh thats easy to explain." Jaden said. "I'zale is what happend to her. I found out that when she was ten he began to take a.... "special" intrest in her." Jadens fingers had turned into claws and were now dangerously close to fracturing the table.

Jaden looked at Dusk thoughtfully and then placed a hand on his shoulder. "Thats why I thought it was her. She was always a selfless individual and never wanted to hurt anyone. After all the things she suffered through she was still the same."
Jadens red eyes glittered as he stared at his friend. "Dusk, I won't assume anything, but you said she hurt you more than physically. How else did she hurt you?"

Jaden felt himself bristle. He was resisting his strong response to simply smash Dusk into a wall and start yelling questions. He had to remember that this was one of his only friends.
"How? I need details, and please stay on guard in case I feel like hitting you." he stopped, cursing himself for saying that... but it was probably for the best. "Dusk. Please. You need to tell me."

Jaden clenched his fists until blood started to seep through his fingers. "Okay Dusk." he said in a unnaturally calm voice. "Heres the question you must answer: do you believe that she did it because she wanted to or because my brother put her up to it?"

Jadens hands relaxed. "Dusk, whatever plan there was it was his. I do think I'm understanding what he wants though. It's not just me he wants now, he also wants you."
