a small, walled off area draws your attention, and you wander over. the area is dimly lit, just as you round a corner to see what lies behind it, you come face to face with a pair of golden eyes.

falling back a step, you stare up at the eyes, and a sky blue, six legged dragon steps out of the shadows. white fur settles around his four hind legs, the two forelegs shorter, for grasping...prey. you stare at him in silence and shock, when you see Elae peering curiously around the dragon. she eyes you for a moment, then steps around him, walking over to you. "I see you've met Touketsu...." she smiles slightly, and the icy dragon behind her watches you with unblinking eyes. "He's a Mazoku Dragon... His name translates to Frozen." she muses for a moment and glances around, talking to herself, "Now where could Mitsukai be..." as she turns to look behind her, you see two small jagged scars on her neck. you blink, and Elae lifts a hand to unconciously rub them lightly. she seems to notice where your gaze is directed, and looks back to you. "They blood bond." an impish smile, and she continues. "Small price to pay for the finishing product though." as if to prove her point, another Mazoku Dragon suddenly appears behind her, peering down at you from the shadows.

you take a step back, and she flares her wings, then ducks around to crouch next to Touketsu. they greet each other warmly, eyes bright, then turn their attention back to you. Elae smiles and motions. "That would be Mitsukai, translated to Angel. She is Air type, while her mate, Touketsu," her smile widens slightly, and she continues, "is of the Ice type." you notice that both Mazoku Dragons have the same golden eyes as Elae does, both focused soley on you. you excuse yourself, and head back out of the shadows, towards the main Market area.
