Trues first meetings

"Ugh", "Really drago i don't think you should be so biased", " i repeat 'ugh'", his mother was trying to convince him of this arranged marriage oh yes, they had them in demon families, and he wasn't buying anything to convince him.

"It won't be until after your transformation, so that whoever gets you won't think they were deceived that you were completely devoid of magic, and... human." Drago didn't care what they thought, his uncles and aunts, he didn't want one of their many princessess, they only had them to trade them, like currency.

"Mother, i know what you're thinking but no", he wasn't going to find her anywhere, his True, that was the only word they had for it in the human language, in LIZ it was trifeind, which meant twined soul, or true friend, love found, or just plain True, for the human language, the vampire capital was brimming with princesses from his uncle hsi wu, his True was yet to be found also, but his forseers told him he would meet her in the future.

"Oh, but i found your father, well-" she blushed, "- he found me", he hated all this talk of love and Trues, and destiny, it was disgusting, horrible, and just plain confusing. He couldn't understand why his mother had agreed to be with his father in the first place, he hated that, the way he didn't care and the way she loved him. It was painful to watch. embarassing.

"Oh drago, just promise you'll try to find her?" she was on the verge of tears, "fine! just stop your blubbering!" he usually wasn't allowed to be disrespectful to his mother but she just smiled and said, "thank you sweetheart." They were in his room, "Speaking of the transformation..." he trailed off in thought, the transformation would come when he was 15, he was almost there, in two months he would be there, all demon sorcerors are born human, so they can survive in the world, if they are lost they will be taken care of, stupid humans and their compassion. He had messy jet-black hair and glowing green eyes like his mothers, though his were a darker shade, his clothes were red with flame emblems all over them, and he had no sleeves, he was very defined, and more than once... he'd caught a human servant girl staring.

His mother thought it gave him a big head, but he just didn't care. After she left he went outside to the gates of the palace, to walk in the market like every other day he was out. He went to the breadery like every day to see Nicole, she was one of the only people he could stand, never weepy, not very compassionate... except to animals of course, she absolutely loved dragons, she also loved to see him in the morning for some reason, she liked to speak of magic, she was a wizard. She was taught by Ariden a wizard of 1,000 years old, he was very powerful, she had a fairy, but they would go to her later.

"Hey! cut that out! hey, back off!" it was nicole's mother's voice, he sighed, she was less of a pain but that didn't mean she wasn't a pain at all, nicole loved a good fight, he usually liked that about her, but usually, he also ended up having to save her. ugh. He rounded the corner of the busy but not crowded street, and saw-

He let an angry hiss escape, year after year the demon sorcerers become more and more demonic until their transformation at 15. he had his fangs. It was him oprav the vampire with blonde hair, from hsi wu's demensional part of earth. He was always after nicole, she escaped from there, from him, a year ago, with no help amazingly. He started walking forward, the people looked as he lowered into a crouch, he was prepared to do anything this time no matter what she said or did to stop him, she always said, 'no blood on my hands'. bah! He came forward just as nicole planted a punch on his chin... thoroughly knocking him out, drago would have gone for the kill, and she knew it, so she grabbed his arm and turned him around to start toward the grotto, it was a magical place, they'd found it, it was hidden, for weika, her fairy.

"I thought i said no?, oh well no harm done i slurpose" she loved to mess with word sounds, honestly that was annoying enough, but she barely ever spoke, even when spoken to! "You know what?, i don't care if you say no, yes, or sic him, it's my choice nicole not yours, as to what i do", "well when it has to do with me then it's MY business, don't you agree?", she was doing it again, nicole didn't like to talk, she liked to listen to him tirade and then have no idea what he had said, he hated that! She was interesting though he had to admit... and fun, if not crazy, don't believe that?, she once played chicked with an elemental, a rock elemental, elementals in their normal state, could not move without really trying, she almost smacked into it, if it hadn't lurched out of the way... she would no longer be hunted by oprav.

"yes, i do", she laughed, she knew this game, he would go along with everything she said and avoid his tirade until he eventually exploded from pent up rage later.
