"I'm Ciara," she said. "It's a pleasure, Aleski. Thank you for saving me."

Aleksi rose from his bow. "Thank you for distracting them so that I didn't get my face caved in." He said with a joking smile. "An interesting form of magick you use." he said looking down at the bag at her waist.

Ciara looked a little surprised when Aleski brought up her magic. "I'm not entirely sure if it's magic or just a talent. I can usually only work with spirits that are contained in the cards." She hoped he wouldn't think she was a witch or anything like what her family had.

Aleksi shifted his view from the bag to Ciara's face, observing her features. "Interesting." He said placing his hands behind his back. "How exactly to you obtain the spirit cards?" he asked curiously.

"I...got the cards from a monk in my village," Ciara said. "He found me after I was abandoned."

"Good, I won't need to protect my soul from being pulled out than." Aleksi said with a smile. "Your village sounds quaint." Aleksi said with nostalgia of his original home. "You were abandoned?" he said looking worried, "By whom?"

"I can only seal willing spirits myself," Ciara said, clarifying. Her eyes shifted downwards, remembering the painful parts of her past. "My parents. They didn't want to raise a witch. They abandoned me and pretended I had never been born." Most people would have begun crying, but Ciara had accepted this long ago. She considered it to be her fate. Looking back, she was glad they hadn't tried to kill her.

"That's unfortunate." Aleksi said returning his face to neutral. "I only wish my parents didn't love me, maybe than I wouldn't have been kidnapped and separated from them. Hell, I wouldn't be alive if they didn't love me." he said looking down slightly. "But, if I wasn't alive there would be many more evil bandits roaming the world crushing lives." He returned his gaze up, looking determined and slightly angry, but realizing this returned his face to neutral.

"Who kidnapped you?" Ciara asked him. Their pasts had been about the same in awfulness. She was suddenly a little surprised that, knowing she was a witch, he hadn't left or tried to kill her.

Aleksi smiled slightly. He laughed a few times. "Tell me Ciara." he began looking up at her only with his eyes, staring through his bangs. "How much do you think I'm worth?" he asked smiling still.

"That's an...awkward question," Ciara said. "Since we've only known each other for a very short amount of time. That said, I'd say a lot. You saved my life, and you didn't try to kill me when you found out what I am, like others."

"You think a lot like a treasure hunter." Aleksi said smiling still. "They seemed to think I could be worth a pretty penny," he said stopping, he smirked than shifted his whole form into an amorphous black and gray blob. The blob compacted, forming his true self, a black weapon on the ground. "but then again they did find me like this." he said in a darker voice. His figure could be seen in the reflection of the blade.

This didn't really bother Ciara. "What are you, anyway, Aleski?" she asked.

Aleksi laughed. "You must be the first person who didn't freak out when I did that." His laugh continued before fading. He wiped tear from his eye, finding it surprisingly funny. "Thank you I needed that." He shifted his form to human again. "To answer your question, I'm whats called a Kusari Gama. The weapon. But as for my race, I suppose you could call me a spirit or cursed idol. What you see is actually a magically created, tangible apparition." He said explaining.

Ciara nodded. "So there's a spirit that gives you a form and mind, isn't there?" she asked. "Unless it wants to be sealed, and gives up that form, I can't seal it or use it." She didn't feel the need to mention that the only human spirit she had sealed was her brother after his death, which was what caused her parents to abandon her. Sure there were other humans in her deck, but they came from exorcisms the monk had done before he gave her the cards.
