Welcome to Gaia! ::

Discovered

It had actually been a couple of days between when they found the naga child and when Shin and Keiji found out that they had brought him in the house. Needless to say Shin wasn't in the least bit amused by the fact that they had another mouth to feed and one that he'd not authorized.

"You can't just pick up stray things off the street and bring them in the house!" He was saying in a none to quiet tone to the three standing before him.

Vishal responded by starring at Shin, seeming to be very uninterested in what his father was saying. In fact he lifted a hand up to scratch at the back of his head and gave a yawn as if to show how bored he was with the conversation. Panhsj was starring up at Shin with huge golden eyes and didn't seem effected by the yelling either, mostly because he'd gotten used to voices and loud tones directed at him having dealt with Vishal. Krishna was the only one that seemed to have anything to say about it, "We couldn't just leave him sitting outside! He's just a baby and on top of that he is a snake, snakes don't do well in the cold!" In fact most snakes should be hibernating by now so that the naga child had been sitting outside worried her.

Shin gave a sigh, "That doesn't mean you can bring him in. What if he were dangerous? Or poisonous? Naga are a dangerous species! What if he were of the breed that could turn you to stone with his gaze then where would you be?" He demanded. The truth was starting to come out, even showing a bit of worry for the two children that had been playing with what could be a dangerous baby.

"Hes not. Pan is a good naga." Kris said, laying a hand on Panhsj's silver hair and ruffled it.

Pan reached his hands up to catch hold of Kris's hand, flicking his tongue out at it.

Shin reached his hand out, snagging up the naga into his arms and looked him over closely. Pan blinked in surprise and starred right back.

"Hey! Thats mine! Put it down!" Vishal snapped out, not wanting for Shin to take what was his!

Shin gave him a look before he went back to inspection, "First off its not an 'it' its a he." He said, "I am not sure what sort of naga this is." He actually sounded a bit surprised at that. It sure didn't look like any of the naga that he had crossed paths with in his time. He was a strange coloring and he was rather calm and quiet. Normally they were more aggressive even as children. He gave a shrug before handing him back over to Kris who seemed to be the one who treated the naga as a child and not a thing like Vishal did.

"I will talk it over with Keiji and we will decide whether or not we thing the two of you keeping a naga without permission should be punishable by grounding or not." Shin said then made a dismissing motion with his hand, "For the moment the two of you can go and play."

Vishal looked as if he were about to announce that he didn't play but Kris grabbed him by the arm with her free hand and drug him away from their parents. Pan looked back at Shin for a moment before curling himself up close to Kris, hiding his face against her. Panhsj wasn't sure if he liked that man very much, he smelled as if his skin were stained with blood...

Of Minions and Masters

Vishal was perched up on one of the large rocks that was located in the cavernous area that he had claimed as his new lair and he was watching as his minions went about their chores. Blinky was always flying around keeping a half dozen eyes out for any possible danger or intruders while Gel sort of... meandered around in a manner that showed the creature had no idea what it was doing but... it was trying. Then there was Panhsj... probably the minion that he least understood, he was... strong, a God of Tison even but he was happily going about sweeping the rock floor as he did every day. He could leave if he wanted to, declare his independence and that he wanted to do something other then serve a God who was lower in rank then him but... he continued on doing a task that seemed rather meaningless.

The ceiling was made of rock and dirt, the shifting of it caused dirt to fall, people talking to loud caused dirt to fall, any sort of fighting of heavy movement caused dirt to fall. It was more then likely that Panhsj would be sweeping the same area tomorrow that he was sweeping today, Vishal knew it and he knew that Pan knew it... and yet he didn't seem to mind. In fact he always seemed so happy to serve, always smiling, and no matter the order he did his best to follow through. He never talked back... though Vishal supposed he never talked at all, he followed orders, he was loyal to fault, he was the absolute perfect minion.

It was so strange...

Vishal jumped down from his perch, gliding over to land next to Pan and his land caused a bit of dirt to fall. The snake boy turned to look up at Vishal and reached a hand up to brush the fallen debris off of his shoulders before he set to sweeping the new dirt into the pile with the old dirt, "Your a strange boy, you know that right? You shouldn't serve so willingly when your as strong as you are." Vishal complained at him.

Pan looked up at him with wide, confused golden eyes before giving him a smile... and continued sweeping, leading the pile to the entrance to the cave and swept it all out. He turned then to return his broom to where it went, looking around the caves to find them perfectly swept out... before he returned to Vishal and gazed up at him, awaiting new orders.

The Monster God starred down at him, then reached out to ruffle his hair, "Perfect little thing. I think that makes you the most dangerous of my minions too, you could stab me in the back at any moment." Vishal murmured, kneeling down so that he was on the same level as Pan, intelligence and survival dictated that he deal with the possible threat that Pan posed to him... but at he same time looking at the snake god he couldn't see him as the back stabbing sort... he was to sweet, to loyal, even at his mention of Pan 'stabbing in him in the back' the boy look horrified.

The young God was shaking his head rapidly, lifting his hands to lay them over his heart and then held them out to Vishal. The Monster God nodded, taking the boy's small hands in his, "Yes, I know. Your heart is mine, I trust you strangely enough even though you could be a danger to me in the future." He gave Panhsj's hands a gentle squeeze, "Just continue to be as loyal as you are now and we won't have any problems."

Panhsj nodded rapidly once more, lunging forward to hug Vishal tightly, closing his eyes as he leaned his head against his Master's chest... then pushed back and waited.

"Hmm? Ahh, yes. New orders... well since your sweeping is done I guess you can take a short break. When you get back I will have more for you to do." He said, motioning for Pan to go get some fresh air.

The snake boy nodded then turned to slither toward the cave entrance and outside. Vishal shook his head before he set to figuring out what to have the boy do next. Keeping him busy with chores seemed to be the best way to keep Pan happy, for some reason his happiness came in serving. Strange, strange creature that he was.
