"When the moons hide behind the cloud, only then will you see your destiny" The only witch woman said as she touched Val's face. "Such strong eyes....and a body to match. You will make the perfect demon" The lady said as she ran her withered fingers along the girl's face. "I will give you wings, and horns, and the eyes of a demon..." She said and leaned close to her. "For your heart" She said and laughed evilly, the laugh seemed to echo into the surroundings of the small tent that smelled of nothing but weird potions and burning skin. The moon shown through the roof of the old tent. She could see the stars. In a low voice, "Yes...take it. I don't want to feel the pain anymore" She spoke softly and her hair stood on end at her own words. When the knife moved closer to her chest her eyes closed and she embraced this time for her death.
To wake up sweating was nothing Valiant was used to. She hated it in fact cause she meant she was scared. Her eyes flushed opened to the site of a small fairy, eyes mirroring back at her. "I knew you would awake! I knew it! I knew it! Thats why I waited here and you did! You talked a lot in your sleep, Val" She said and flew around, the pixie dust fell to the floor with each flap of her wings. "Why is that? What were you dreaming about?"
Val sighed and didn't answer the questions addressed, it had been the same since she changed. But she was born this way, the dream only was made cause it was how most told the story of the demons. She had always wanted to know what it's like to be normal but she had to admit, she liked her life.
As she walked out of the tent she felt a strong wind mess up her hair. "Mao, I had that dream again...is all" She said calmly and let the wind caress her body and her hair.
Meanwhile, her little fairy fluttered behind her against the winds and giggled. "You had a bad dream...bad dream" She said and flew around her. Val only ignored her small companion.

Basil had been wandering around aimlessly for several hours and was now, needless to say, extremely bored. He had yet to meet anyone that he could call anything more then an acquaintance and being on his own for so long was making him crave some social activity.
Hearing voices nearby, he froze, tiptoeing closer to the source of the conversation. When he saw the demon conversing with the fairy he suddenly felt nervous, he'd never met a demon before and wasn’t sure if it would be wise to make his presence known, at least, not yet.

Val looked at Mao who has made a leaf turn into an apple. She had admired her small fairy's skill. The deal between them was, "If you can't feed yourself then you can't stay with me", from then on..Mao had been by her side. Talking to Val and taking care of herself all at the same time.
Val's wings folded in closer to her as the wind hitting them made them expand into the air and that was quiet annoying. She had smelled something different in the wind, a new being but Mao was on he case before she could get to him.
Mao fluttered over to the tiptoeing male, she was quiet like the wind. "HEY!" She said loudly, she was sure she had scared the male.
Val walked up and grabbed Mao. "Don't be rude" She ordered her. A smile crossed her lips as she spoke. "Sorry about her." She said simply and began to walk back to her tent. "Mao, we need to teach you more manners when approaching strangers" Her words were flat, very monotone.
Mao fluttered behind her owner. "I'm sorry, Val. Why don't you talk to him?" She said and tried to convince Val to be more social. All she got was the "If he will talk to me, he will approach me". It bored Mao. Val had never talked to anyone other then an angel and she had not seen her since her first night by this place.

Basil leap about three feet in the air, loosing his footing and falling backwards onto his behind. He looked up at who had shouted at him, realising quickly that the fairy had seen him, "Oh, er...excuse me" he said, feeling stupid for spying on them, and embarassed for falling over in front of them.
He watched as the demon, who the fairy seemed to be calling Val, started walking away. Basil quickly fpund his feet and hurried after her, "You're a demon arnt you? Sorry if I sound foolish, I've just never met a demon chandra before"

The demon looked ahead of her as she walked. It could be seem like she was ignoring him till she looked back at him. "You aren't the only one" She said in a smart-a** voice. "That the only reason you were watching me?" Her hair was matching to her fairy's. Odd enough, they found each other when they were younger and knew nothing of each other to that moment. Maybe it was destiny.
Mao got a leaf and turned it to an apple. Of course, this tree was an apple one but it was way out of season for more apples to grow on it. "Here..sorry" She handed it to Basil and smiled sweetly.

Basil took the apple and nodded politely to Mao, "No problem, everyone needs a good scare once in awhile", he turned back to Val "I wasn't watching you, to be honest I only just got here a few minutes ago...if anything I had just noticed you" he took a bite of the apple, and hoped someone would change the subject before Val got angry at him for spying on them.

Val hated how nice he was being to Mao. After she had nearly had the heart and soul scared out of her she wouldn't want to talk to the little fairy. God knows how many times Mao has scared her and paid the price. "You think I will get mad at you huh? Not really...but curiosity kills. Be lucky I'm not a demon that enjoys torturing others" She laughed wickedly.
Mao looked at Basil. "Don't mind her..." she laughed nervously. "She is just trying to scare you away...umm...I'm Mao! Thats Val" she said nicely and held out her hand to shake. She then realized how big his hand was around the apple she had given which she had struggled to give to him.
Val looked back at them. "I'm not trying to scare him off. Why he is lucky to be standing before me, Mao, and you know that"
Mao huffed. "She thinks she is like a queen like standing before her is an honor. Don't mind her like that. She is pretty down to earth" She said with a giggle.

Basil finished off the apple and gently shook Mao's hand with two fingers. He offered her a sweet smile as she tried to explain her friend's actions, "I'm Basil, and don't worry, I'm not scared of her" he glaced up at Val and smirked, "Are you always this abrupt with people you've just met?" he wasn't sure why but he suddenly felt a burst of confidence. What was this demon trying to prove anyway? "And that's quite a talent you've got there, the mind reading thing I mean... You're a very interesting Chandra, you know that?"

Val looked up at him as he just insulted her. She smiled alittle then looked at Mao. "You know nothing about me to call me interesting. I can read minds, yes....You don't insult me then try to be all friendly." She said and stepped closer to him, her hands turning into fist and her wings flexing alittle. "Why I have to say you have a way of talking to someone who can fu--" She was cut off by Mao flying between them.
"Stop it, you both are fools. Stop being so rude" She said to Val and looked back at Basil. "you to"

Basil's face remained blank as Val stepped closer to him, he really wasnt afraid of her, though something told him that if he had any sense he would be. He blinked at Mao as she suddenly flew between them, "I didn't think anything I said was rude Mao" he admitted "but as I seem to have insulted you both, I'm sorry" he smiled at Val, "I would have thought that 'interesting' was more of a compliment then an insult...would you prefer 'amazing'? ...or perhaps, 'unique'?" he was a little shocked that they thought he had been rude, he was always straight forward with people, but never considered himself rude in any way.

Val remained silent as she walked back to her tent and sat down. Soon a smoke came from the hole in the top of the tent, Val had made a fire for herself.
Mao looked at Basil. "You have to understand. Val hates what she is. Could never be happy. For all she knows, she is the only one of her kind, she wants a family and all that. I see her dreams...she dreams of things like romance and weird human things I wouldn't expect for her. She looks like one that could tear you to pieces or myself with the right moves, lead you to bed with her but she doesn't want that. She wants to be normal....you make her see what she is. I wish I could see her smile a normal smile or laugh normally. You don't know what it's like to have a rock as a friend. You want to know how I met Val?" She asked curiously and listened to both Val and watched his expression.

Basil glanced past Mao to Val's tent, "I had no idea she felt that way. To be honest she comes across as self centered, and uncaring...I guess I should have realised there was something going on behind it". Looking back to Mao he nodded, "I would like to know how you two met...sounds like an interesting story". He found himself a large rock to sit on and made himself comfortable, in preparation for what might be a long tale.

Mao thought for a moment, recalling the odd info. "Eh..I will tell you when she finds a mate. How about this....I will get Val to be nicer to you if you get me someone to play with" She said sheepishly and very devilishly. Her green eyes twinkled.
Val stood by the tend and watched them to. "Why are you wasting your time, Mao?" She walked toward Basil and put her hand on her hip. "Tell me Basil...what is it like being mortal? Have you ever fallen in love?" She wa curious...like he was for her.
((Sorry it's short))

Basil's head tilted slightly to the side, confused by the fairy's actions. He was under the impression that she was going to tell him the story of how they met, "Someone to play with? Like, find you a fairy friend? ...I don't know any other fairies"
He turned to face Val as she walked over to them, "Mortal?" he shrugged, "I dunno, I never really thought about it before...I guess it feels...normal? I dunno" he shook his head, "But then, being immortal must feel normal for you..." he shrugged again, not really sure what she wanted him to say, "Nope, I've never been in love, I don't know many chandra even. Why do you ask?"

Val leaned in close to Basil. "I'm not immortal. I can die. Thats the difference between you and I, I like death...I will embrace it when the time comes. You fear it..." She didn't get down to his last question before a small bony dog sniffed around in the backdrops of the forest. "What the..." Well..maybe not a dog...it maybe have been a bag of bones or something....but two things were for sure..it moved and was looing for something.
