 Loki grinned as he caught sight of Lorn through the crowd and started towards him grinning and shaking peoples hands as he went. He frowned suddenly and then world around him melted briefly as he saw once again a fight he had had a long time ago. ~~FlashBack~~There he was not 10 steps ahead of him the man that he had hated for so long his Sharingan activated as he scowled at Noir. Metal to his side he nodded and they both lunged into the fray as the Homunculus Noir commanded seemed to jump from every angle forcing Metal and himself on the defensive using the sharingan as it was meant to be used he dodged blocked parried and mimiced his opponents against any one person of the same skill this would not have been a fair fight he would have gained the ground he needed to win without a problem what so ever but as it stood it was 8 and Noir versus himself and Metal and Noir was beyond any doubt stronger then the two of them but this fight had to happen and it needed to finish before it was to late. He had a suspicion of what Noir was doing but he had no idea he jumped back throwing fire between Metal and Himself and the homunculus. Giving them a brief respite. End Flashback He grinned again no one had noticed and they had begun to disperse and go about their businesses. He saw Lorn's dragon sitting atop his head what was her name was... " Urma" Serenity said calmly. "Thank you Serenity where would I be without you." He replied grinning even wider. " Dead or insane " she replied as she found a pleasant spot by the dragon roost to catch some rays and rest after that long flight. "Thats true." He thought back to her his grin showing slightly pointed teeth now he was in good spirits and he wasn't going to let the memory bleed to keep him down. ~FlashBack~He was running his right arm sparking with black eletricity as Metal cleared the path for him using Iron sand creating a path above the homunculus towards Noir. He leapt foward only to have his attack taken by one of the b*****d minions of Noir and he leapt back this fight had been lost Metal and he had both been worn down there was no way to win. He charged up another chidori getting ready to rush again. Then he stopped as a thought occured he spun on his heel and drove his arm through Metal's chest plucking his heart from its resting place and pulling his arm free. He looked over his shoulder at Noir who seemed to be grinning mockingly. Loki shed a single tear as the Mangekyou sharingan replaced his 3 tomoe sharingan. End Flashback That memory in particular sparked a deep panging note in his heart he had done a terrible thing that day and he had paid for it though he didn't think he had paid dearly enough for a brief moment his eyes watered and then he blinked it away before anyone could notice. By then the crowd was only a few people large and he got free as they dispersed and he walked towards Lorn his grin ever present on his face. "Hello Lorn", he nodded his head happily, "And how are you doing Urma?" his voice gravelly and at the same time warm and welcoming. He was startled at the sound of his own voice it had been a like time since he had spoken aloud to anyone and the changes that the Dragon Soul had done to his body always seemed to catch him off guard. The energetic little dragon on his shoulder would grow to be a fast fighter he had been around dragons long enough to have a pretty good guess from the way she always seemed to twitch and be ready to take off at the drop of a hat.

 Lorn smiled at Loki's approach, and Urma crawled back down onto his shoulder. Someone who'd cause such an up roar pleased Lorn greatly, uproar was just another word for chaos. Such pleasure this person much bring to the war god. "Hello Loki." Said Lorn " Hello! " Echoed little Urma. She whipped her tail about, smacking Lorn in the head every so often. He had grow accustomed to her doing this, it was a sign she was pleased. Urma had been his only companion for some time, and he valued her presence greatly. The war god had guided him to her, they were meant to be together. She had supported him though his training, and most of life. There was no one who came between Urma, and Lorn. They were never separated, even when Lorn slept. There was a time when Urma was shy of Lorn, and she would barely communicate with him. He dedicated an entire month to gaining her trust, he'd talk to her, tell her personal things, and dragging her into playing . This eventually turned her into a scaly social butterfly. She was quite the opposite of Lorn, who tended to keep quiet. However, they both held faith in the war god, and were quite unstable. (( 1905 + 210 = 2115 - 1000 dragon fuse = 1115 ))

"Come walk with me Lorn we have much to discuss." Loki said motioning for Lorn to follow, "As you may or may not be aware the world as we know it sits in an era of peace." he sighed heavily there were no villagers around and he let the grin fall from his face, "This peace was hard bought and can not last there are forces out there bent on the enslavement of the ninja world... I have devoted the past years to trying to find their establishment and I have failed I fear that my life may end before I can strengthen the peace that is already in place." He continued walking his hands in his pockets as he let his words sink in. Lorn was unstable much like himself though as far as he knew he wasn't violently unstable he needed someone to pass the Dragon Soul onto. He didn't have any clear fact that he was going to die and he doubted it would be soon but it wasn't a major thing. "My techniques for the Doragon Clan are quiet powerful and the idea of them vanishing when I die is troubling." He stopped and looked Lorn in the eyes, "I need an apprentice simply stated someone for me to teach what I know so that there is no waste should I perish." [226+1142=1368]

Lorn walked with a slouched posture, and listened carefully and, considered every word with care. Urma rubbed her head against his neck, listening on the conversation casually. He had straightened as Loki stopped. Everything Loki said was obvious until he mentioned the 'enslavement' of the ninja world. At the mention of this, both Urma and Lorn smiled, and thought, 'blood for the war god.' This sounded like chaos was near, competition in the form of glorious combat. Lorn had been rolling a coin on his fingers by his side, and suddenly snatched it and shoved it back into his pocket. "This is understandable, I demand to be the apprentice. If this time is coming, I must prove my worth to the war god." Insisted Lorn as he clinched his fists, and stood in a somewhat military posture. Already Lorn was imagining gripping his enemy's in his fist and crushing them. The facial expression on his was a mix of stern, and excitement. This was the time Lorn had been waiting for, he had not expected it to come in such a manner, but he had been preparing for it. Long days he spent training, preparing to prove himself to the war god. This was his time, he would please the lord of chaos. This was his ultimate goal. (( 1115 + 219 = 1334 ))

Loki looked at Lorn but seemed to be starring straight through him and at something that would not be visible to anyone's eyes. Lorn's Dragon Soul burned with a startling intensity and his grin returned in gusto. " Good he agreed I was worried I was going to have to eat him I'm glad that it was unneeded" Serenity said to Loki calmly. "In three hours." he held up three fingers to emphasis the number, "I will awaken your Dragon Soul... You will probably die." His face was a blank slate no hint of either truth or lies was on his face, "If you don't die both you and Urma will be fused just as Serenity and I am. " Must I leave my spot its very nice and sunny here?" Serenity questioned lazily as she vanished from her spot fusing once again with Loki though no trace of the fusion would be seen other then Serenity vanishing. Loki's pupils narrowed to reptilian slits the conversation with serenity have lasted less then a split second. "When you are ready meet me at the training grounds." and with that Loki vanished to appear in the middle of the training grounds to await Lorn's appearance. [203+1368=1571]

Attempting to keep a straight face, Lorn clinched his jaws slightly. He nodded as Loki spoke. His fist clinched tighter, and even Urma took on a serious face. As Loki vanished Urma started to fly around Lorn's head excitedly. "You understand what this mean right?" Urma questioned Lorn. " You already know the answer to that question." He replied with a smile. If he survived the awakening of his dragon soul, he'd be able to serve the war god with even more ability. This was the only option, service of the war god was a honor most high. Lorn did not hesitate, and continued towards the training grounds. Night had fallen by the time he arrived, and as he entered the entrance to the training grounds, he could see Loki in the center waiting. "My life for the war god!" Shouted Lorn, and he prepared for instruction. "Our lives are forfeit if we are unable to serve" Echoed Urma's small voice from Lorn's shoulder. (( 1334 + 164 = 1498 ))

"Good you showed up though your a tad bit late..." He adjusted the white gloves on his hand the symbols on the back of them catching the light as intricately decorated circles. He placed his hands to the ground, "Transmute!" He said with emphasis and sparks of electricity shot out 5 yards in a circle as the electricity dissipated He and Lorn stood in two small circles with runes scattered across the area. He stood straight and looked Lorn in the eyes. "This is your last chance to back out knowing that the odds of your death with this technique are slim to none though the power you will gain will allow you to collect the blood for this War God." He raised his hand calmly and with a swift jerk of his arm the runes on the ground indented 3 inches and began to shine as chakra flowed from him into the runes. Serenity appeared standing behind Loki her immense size dwarfing the majority of the small buildings of the village the air seemed to pulse as she hummed deeply from her chest the eerie note seeming to be alive as it flowed. Loki had arranged for the training grounds to be empty and for a lack of spectators by dispersing several shadow clones before Lorn had arrived. "Should you choose to turn back now I would understand." he said blackly. " I would not." Serenity's ordinarily calm and playful voice taking a menacing tone. "The choice..." " ...Lies to you..." "...for only you..." " can decide your future." Loki and Serenity spoke in turn showing their unity and oneness of mind. [272+1571=1843]

Lorn clinched his teeth at such a sight. However, he stepped forward, and called out. "My blood is pledged to the war god, If I die, it is in his service. " Urma fell backwards on his shoulder, and held on with her front two claws as she scrabbled back up. Lorn's thin frame shook from the natural fear of his body, but the will of his mind kept him walking at a slow steady pace forward. Several prayers to the war god were made, and curses flooded from his mouth. His eyes twitched, and his palm bled from clinching his fist. The courage of his soul refused to fail, and his madness began to show, and his laugh was that of a madman. His voiced seem to echo in the air around him, and his faded to a white pale. "Lets do this!" He cried into the air. Suddenly, bright light flashed before Lorn's eyes, and the world faded around him. The buildings turned to light, and light to void. All was empty, and before him sat the great warrior. The war god, his lord, looked down upon him. He collapsed to his knees and bowed his head. The war god wore armor of gold encased in a layer of fire, and a battle scarred face whose mouth was covered by a strange mask metal of fine metal. He sat in his throne of skulls, conquered enemies from years past. Eyes could not be spoken of, smoke bellowed from where his eye should of been. "Serve me child." Boomed the voice. "Preach my name, and conquer your enemies, you are my servant." Quickly the world returned and Lorn was back where he was. "Let me preach his name!" Cried Lorn in the desperate gasp of a madman. (( 1498 + 299 = 1797 ))

"I will aid you in attaining this power on the condition that in serving the war god you will fight for PEACE and FREEDOM" he emphasized the words to make a point, "Should you fail to uphold this bargain either myself or serenity shall ascend from the gates of hell to kill you that I promise." "Now that I have gotten over the mildly dramatic entry of this whole thing you need to step back into that circle that I drew otherwise this entire rune circle will be pointless." He gestured to return to where Lorn stood and he crossed his legs. "Now when I stumbled upon my Dragon Soul it was through months of meditation." He grinned, "I'm going to force out your Dragon Soul and you will have to fight it in the recesses of your mind. It will take a shape that I do not know but you will." "Should you win you will die as will you Urma." he nodded towards the dragon when he said her name, "I can guarantee both of your deaths though you will be reborn as the same yet different the melding of your minds will happen instantly and you will cover each others faults easing instability in combat calming the mind unnaturally allowing for faster thoughts and more imaginative reasoning processes." When Lorn returned to his seat(Assuming he did to get more word power out of one post) Loki would hold his palm up towards him and chakra would visibly form the head of a dragon then with a jerk of his arm the chakra dragon would lunge forward and bite down sending Lorn into the dark recesses of his mind to face his dragon soul.

Lorn agreed. He then sat down in the circle, and was soon engulfed in this dragon of chakra. His mind swallowed itself, and he found that Urma's mind, and his own had became as one. They floated though what seemed like the void in which the war god himself resided within. However, here, there was no god to speak of, only Urma, and Lorn. "Lorn, you're seeing what i'm seeing, yes?" Urma said in a confused tone. "Yeah, yeah I am. Where do you think are we?" He replied and ran his hand though his hair. It was all cold, and infinite as far as they could tell. "I think it's an alternate state of being." She said with a playful, know-it-all voice. "Ha-ha Urma, where is this alternate state of being then?" There was a brief moment of silence while Urma pouted, and Lorn barely contained a laugh. Some time passed, and they found they were being drawn closer, like a moon revolving a planet. Urma was the moon, and he was the planet. There was complete silence, and as Lorn closed his eyes, Urma let out a loud child like laugh. Opening his eyes, she was doing a strange dragon version of the butterfly around him, with her wings propelling her. He laughed aloud with her. They played much like they did when they were young, Urma Propelled herself towards him, and he flipped backwards dodging her. They were play fighting of course, they did this what seemed like centuries of happiness. Eventually Urma flew towards Lorn, and he caught her much like a child would pick up a puppy, and their forms slowly merged with one another. The void around them shrunk away, and Lorn awoke, his eyes now a reptile green, and Urma's voice sounded in his head. ' That was glorious. ' "It was. " He said aloud, forgetting entirely where he was before, and Loki was there. (( 1797 + 323 = 2120 Learned: Dragon soul, takes up made up slot. ))

 Loki smiled when Urma said, "It was." he was talking to his dragon through his soul and vice versa. "It is good to see that you have completed the awakening of your Dragon Soul there are a few things that you should know before before to much time passes and it catches you by surprise." He stood dusting off his pants and with a wave of his arm the ground returned to normal no runes remained a technique he had learned from the Hidden Time allowed him to bend the earth to his will with ease, "The first thing you will most likely notice is that your blood will take on quite a powerful acidic quality becoming a potent weapon this will not happen over night but as your body adapts to having the Dragon Soul it will change accordingly. Your heart will strengthen allowing you to continue to fight on with injuries that would have ordinarily crippled you. Your teeth will sharpen and your lungs will become more durable allowing you to breath acids and bases with little to no problem. Your skin will harden into a set of scales, which, will not protect you from physical or elemental attacks but protect you from acids and bases. Your immune system will flare making you impervious to all but the most powerful disease and poisons." "and one of the most useful abilities that the Dragon Soul allows is the ability to share in the forms of your Dragon and your dragon can share in your form as well." without so much as signalling to Serenity she vanished only to appear next to Loki as a female verson of himself. " The only way for you to accomplish this feat is by instinct neither of us are sure how it is done we just do it" Serenity said her voice pleasant and happy. "Now you try" Loki said flatly, "Try calling forth Urma's human side." [323 + 2133 = 2456

 Lorn nodded as Loki spoke, taking several mental notes on what would happened. A part of him wished that Loki would not explain this, so that chaos could consume his situation. However, he was the teacher, and Lorn would not question him. The sudden transformation of Serenity startled both Urma, and Lorn. However, this excited them once they realized what had occurred. He could sense Urma's intense interest, and desire to see this alternate form. Her voice entered though his mind excitedly. "I think I can do this, I imagine you as a girl all the time! You picture it to." Lorn laughed for a moment, and all that could escape his mouth was "What?" barely containing himself. Another short moment, and Urma appeared to merge in upon herself. Shortly appeared again in her human form, and Lorn smacked his face with the palm of his hand harshly. Then, she continued to laugh at him in her usual voice, and covered her mouth. She laughed until she eventually fell down as Lorn rubbed his face. ((1797+175 = 1972 ))

  "On top of the ability of Urma and Serenity to change into a human form there is the ability for you and I to change into a dragon form." He grinned as both he and serenity seemed to morph before the eyes of Urma and Lorn both larger then the buildings around them Loki's scaled were tinted Blue and Gold shimmering in the light as Serenity bodily shouldered him they both let loose deep resounding chuckles as they eyed Lorn and Urma below them. " Your size, Lorn, is dependent on Urma's so as you both progress in strength the abilities between you are shared you are both able to use the abilities of the other with little problem's though you have to be in the appropriate form." Serenity said calmly " This would be a good time to show you both how to do paired aerial combat but do to your size you would be outdistanced and the lessons we would teach would be poor at best." Loki said after Serenity finished. " As the bond between you increases so will the changes and the ease of which they are accessed. We have not yet finished our metamorphosis with the Dragon Soul so we do not know the final form that we will take though the changes are far from over. Because of this after the changes that we have described happen to you you will be treading the water just as we are there is little more to learn from us on the Dragon Soul until you have become stronger." they both said their voices intertwining in a harmony not yet to be matched.

Lorn sat a moment, and reviewed the recent revelations. This was a sudden shock to him, not a chaotic shock as he would of liked. He was determining what needed to be done. He fell down where he stood, and looked up at them. Looming several feet over them, they felt quite small. Their young bones felt frail, and their teeth clinched together to keep straight faces. However, Urma, new to this form, made a face that of a pouting child. " I believe I understand. " He said in a some what questioning tone. "I shall seek to grow in strength." Lorn straightened his back, and touched his head to the ground in a bow, arching his arms in either direction. His palms touching facing the ground. Urma did the same awkwardly in her human form. The war god had given them both a path, and it was shrouded in chaos. They were the chosen to serve. The battles to be fought, the foes to be conquered, Urma and Lorn held the mutual feeling of pride. Their souls were that of violent children, which was a dangerous combination that left them quite unstable. They would seek battle and violence, all the time joking, and laughing with each other.

Serenity vanished and Loki returned to his original form, "Gain power through strength but remember this one phrase more then all else." he vanished suddenly and appeared with a broadsword in his hand held against Lorn's throat the entire length of the blade transformed from shining steel to a Dark black that seemed to draw the light out of the air around it. "In your pursuit of glory for the blood god should you so much as threaten the worlds peace..." he spun on his heel and effortlessly cleaved four training posts then his blade vanished into thin air, "I will not hesitate to end you even if I have to traverse the course of Hell and earth just to reach Heaven to do so." His grin split his face again, "But until then should you ever need help do not hesitate to seek me out we are family and I would do almost anything for you." [157 + 2630 = 2787]
