Mitsuko landed on the other side of the waterfall. "Its right behind here." She walked along the small rocky path that took them behind the waterfall. As they entered through the cave it opened up to a large cavern, totally large enough for two full grown dragons. Yet it was cozy as well. There was already a large pile of leaves and soft material she had found. There were a few rocks set up as a table and there was a small pile of fish, in a spot that acted as a natural refrigerator. Mitsuko smiled and let a few orbs of light dance around. "What do you think?"
-
killik observed the cave with a smile "i like it" he walked over to the large pile and jumped in it
-
Mitsuko laughed brightly as he jumped in the leaves. "I'm glad you like it! I'll work on making it more homey." She followed him, jumping and wriggling about in the pile of leaves.
-
A voice floated into the cavern, sweet and low, a bit siren like, though it lured no one against their will. "Come out, come out, wherever you are." It called lightly, clearly female. There is no ill intent in that voice, meaning to only be kind and playful. It's possible it belongs to someone a slight bit older, more adult.
-
Mitsuko heard the voice and her head popped up from the pile of leaves. Turning to her brother she tilted her head. "Do you hear that?" The playful light dragon hopped out of the pile of leaves watching Ki, but headed in the direction of the cave entrance. Still cautious, she hoped that her brother would come with her, and she kept her guard up not knowing the origin of the voice. She crept forward poking her head around the waterfall slowly. "Hello?"
-
Once the young dragon pokes her head around the waterfall, she finds a petite woman leaning against a tree, abdomen rounded out with child. A wayward fall of curls comes to her hips, and her eyes are as tempestuous as the ocean she'd been born from. For now, they sit at a sparkling blue green shade. She seems completely at ease in cool of the air, wearing only jeans and a sweater. She also appears in her mid to late twenties.
"Hi there. I won't hurt you or your brother. I just heard we had two new young dragons, and decided to find you." A white female wolf, heavy with her own litter of pups, came forward and sat next to the petite woman, the woman dropping a delicate hand to her head.
-
Mitsuko's golden eyes fall on the woman. Her own senses, seemed to let a light glow surround the woman. As the wolf sat next to her the slight tension in the hatchling let up some. Stepping out tentatively, her arms caught behind her back, she approached the woman. She didn't get any feelings that the woman intended to hurt them. Giving her a soft smile she bowed in greeting. "Hello. My name is Mitsuko."
-
The little goddess returned her bow with one of her own, the action seeming very solemn and grave, as if a tradition held close to the woman for her own reasons. For a moment, an aura shimmered around Kaya, the palest of pink, a swirling of white, and a green that bespoke of the natural threading through like irridescence. Purple and blue seem a wash over it lending a calm and peace, as well as the wisdom of higher thought.
The aura itself is very soothing, motherly in it's way. "I'm Kaya Parker. It is good to meet you, Mitsuko. What brought you and your brother here to the island?" One hand settled over the swell of her stomach, her dark head tilting curiously. The mother wolf swished her tail once at the young dragon, ears flicking, before giving a soft woof at Kaya and scampering off into the brush.
Steps taken forward, the soon to be mother hunkered down to sit on one of the rocks near the falls. In the mist of the falls, an illusory shimmer of sea green and cool blue scales glimmer over her face slightly, mainly around her eyes.
-
The young dragon watches the colors that circled the woman in her aura. It was a soothing mix of colors, one that she knew spoke no harm to the dragons. She smiles the tension leaving the young hatchling as she goes to sit down on the ground near the woman. Golden eyes doing a double take at the shimmer of the scales. She rubbed her eyes lightly before smiling warmly. "Its nice to meet you too Miss Kaya." Knowing she was the younger she wanted to show respect to the woman. "My brother and I came to the island on our own, but were drawn to one another. We know that others of our kind have come here before, and found their partners here."
-
killik walked to the entrance of the cave and sat on a rock near the entrance "hello. i am killik" the boy said bashfully
-
Kaya turned her eyes to the newly revealed brother she'd known was there. His abashed state, and the relaxing of his sister's brought a smile to the little goddess' face, reminiscent of the teenager she had been once upon a time. Still, she addressed Mitsuko first, as she'd been speaking with her first. "There are others here. Homura is a young fire dragon, though I have not seen her in a bit of time. Jasper, a dragon of poison. Demix, a dragon of the waters and ice. Those are the three that I myself am familiar with.
At one time, I tried to find Demix a suitable partner, as he'd enlisted my help. He wanted very specific things in his future master. He was a sweet dragon. Each of them found their counterparts, as I'm sure you will. Unless the two of you are already paired?" Her brow rose in question, as she looked between brother and sister. "Well met, Killik. I'm Kaya." Her eyes moved tranquilly between the siblings. "A veritable yin and yang juxtaposition between you. It's striking."
-
Mitsuko listened to Kaya with bright eyes, taking in what was told to her. She smiled at the woman. She wrapped her arms around her legs thinking as she spoke. At her question she shook her head. "We are not paired, unless Killik hasn't told me something!" She laughed softly. "We are still searching for our partners, but I know we are young." She smiled as Kaya spoke of their opposing natures. "Twins, one light and one dark. It makes us an odd pair." She knew it did, but she and her brother balanced each other out well.
-
killiks face turned red and he waved his hands frantically "i-im not hiding anything. i still have not synced either" he laughed nervously and calmed down " i like the fact that we are twins that come from the opposite sides of the power poles" killik laughed "it only means we fill in for each others weaknesses. being a dragon of darkness makes me suscpetable to evil intent. even though i am not evil, i am attracted to it since it is a form of darkness. i can also see that evil and darkness inside people. like a mural painted on there skin, it shows me there past transgressions that has created the darkness. that is why i haven't chosen a partner yet"
-
A bit of a Cheshire grin took the goddess' mouth. "Balance is only odd to those who have none within. All things have their duality. You two simply wear yours proudly upon your scales. You'll remind one another that the light and dark exist within each other, as well. Shadow cannot be where light is not, and light loses it's precious nature without shadow to make it shine." For a moment, the words held a gravity that seemed out of place on the lighthearted woman they'd been introduced to. At once, that shadow drifted away, replaced by a sunny smile that seemed only slightly worn at the edges.
"Have any approached you in manners unbecoming? Attempted to foist bindings you don't want upon you?" She asked softly, patiently. The vaguely maternal air about her returned, and she seemed genuinely concerned for it. She listened closely to Killik's response, her sea storm eyes focused. As he spoke of having the Sight, they narrowed consideringly. As if she studied him, though more from looking at a kindred soul than something else.
"You see the patterns and strands as I do. The Morai touched my own skein, but you were touched by something different. Interesting. Tell me, child of dark. What do you see woven into my own tapestry? What is my darkness?" Curiosity and the urge to teach drove the small woman to look at him head on, no challenge, simply patience. A lesson would be imparted.
-
Mitsuko listened to the words of the woman with a soft nod. She understood the weight of the words that she spoke. She was the balance to her brother and he was hers. Her white scale, and the small patch of black on her left front paw. She smiled softly. "There are some who will attempt contact before the exchange of names, but we have been being careful as we can." The young dragon had head stories of those who had bonds thrust upon them, that ended in the suffering of the dragon. She didn't want that for her, or her brother.
As her brother told the woman of what he could do she smiled. She had the opposite ability of her brother. She could the light and the good in people. Often it took the form of light auras around the individual, or as in a cloak that they wore. She saw none of the darkness her brother did. Being a dragon of light, she was less susceptible to the pull of the dark but that didn't mean that she didn't respect it. She kept her eyes on her brother so that he may respond.
-
killik eyes were sad and his face was with a frown "it is hard to really say what i see. for now i am limited to seeing only the darkness. like an abstract painting. i do not yet have the skills to see through it. but there are darknesses about you" killik grabbed mituskos hand softly and used the sight. giving him the ability to see where a person stands within the hold of light and dark "yet the darkness does not make you. as far as i can see you are merely a leaf in the wind of fate. just as me and mitsuko or anyone else"
-
The sad little chuckle that came from Kaya made her smile a bit humorlessly, ocean eyes darkened slightly. "Live as long as I have, son of darkness. There's only so long you can fight back a night that wishes to consume. Your sister has seen the light, just as you see the dark. You're unlikely to find many that don't have both within them. Yet, you are correct. The shadow does not make me." She inclined her head, shifting her position slightly to pull her legs up and tuck them beneath her.
"I have been a web in the wind of Fate, and I have been a leaf. I'm neither now, as they have difficulty ensnaring someone that can view their traps. No longer food for the spider, as it were. If you want to sharpen your sight, either of you, I can offer my aid. Not many are familiar with being the embodiment of the Final Judgement." She'd fallen to being almost cryptic, a trait she'd loathed once in the Sisters three, but now fell back on when she wished.
"Would either of you like my protection from unwanted touch? It makes me unhappy to think of anyone being forced by the side of someone that they did not choose, or someone that would only bring them despair." Kaya spoke, the tone cool as she alluded to being imprisoned within those bonds.
-
"protection?" killik looked confused
-
Mitsuko listened to her brother and Kaya. As her brother took her hand she squeezed his back softly, happy to provide him the sight that was hers. She smiled softly softly as Kaya's eyes darkened slightly. As the woman offered aid in strengthening their unique sights Mitsuko nodded lightly. "I am sure that I would like to strengthen that sight, or to be able to understand some of it better." She looked at Ki wondering his take on it as well.
At the final question Mitusko nodded softly. "Protection? I would appreciate that. I would like to be able to be part of the decision of who I am bound too. I do not want to be bound to someone who may not understand me." Mitsuko laced her fingers together, golden eyes on them. She knew not all dragons were so adamant about who they were bound too, but she was determined to have a choice.
-
Her brow raised at Killik. "A barrier, Killik. Keeping undesired touch out. If they cannot touch, they cannot bond, yes?" Her eyes softened some as she turned her attention back to Mitsuko. "Wanting to understand and hone your sight is a good step. When you understand what you see in another, you begin to understand what you see inside yourself." Her head nodded slowly at the girl's firm pronouncement.
"Hold to that, and don't let go of it. The choice of a forever bond is important. It can make the difference of your world being joyous and bright or the skies darkening about you and bringing nothing but pain and tears. Experience was a hard teacher for me. It doesn't have to be for you." The goddess lifted her hands and made a small gesture with them, as if weaving something in air.
She formed something vaguely orb like from the energy that she interworked. One of her nails sharpened itself into a steely talon and sliced the palm of her right hand. As the blood pooled, it caused the basketball sized orb to glitter brightly. She widened her hands until the orb itself grew. Out and out it reached until it became the size of the girl that sat close. Said energetic field settled over Mitsuko with a goosebump inducing frission.
Her ocean eyes turned Killik's way, brow arched. "It's no trap. It will make sure you're not ensnared by someone that will abuse you, rather than care about you."
-
killik watched her movements with caution. when the orb enveloped mitsuko ,killik growled until she told him that there was no harm in her doings. his bared fangs slowly retreating until only a frown settled on his face "o-ok" his eyes fell on the floor
-
Mitsuko smiled at Kaya as she spoke about the sight. She nodded, "That is what I would like to learn." As she spoke her feelings on a forced bond those golden eyes watched her, a hint of sadness that she had to experience it herself.
As the orb formed she watched it carefully, feeling there was nothing this woman would do to hurt them, she trusted it. As it settled over her, she felt the goosebumps and shivered slightly, she gave Killik a soft smile, as he growled. She wanted to make sure that he knew she was fine.
-
killik looked up in time to notice mitsukos smile, he replied with a sift smile of his own
-
Kaya's eyes moved from the small white dragon to Killik, the look in them patient, if not perhaps a bit exasperated. "If I would harm her, you might very well attempt to kill me. I won't risk my unborn child, dark one. Calm yourself. You saw for yourself that darkness holds no sway over my actions. Trust in your own judgment, lest you find it deserts you. The Boy Who Cried Wolf applies here." Kaya said, her voice low, but her tone concise. Her ocean eyes had turned back to Mitsuko, watching the light settle in and around the dragon.
"You, little one, will be protected now from unwanted touch. I do not know if your brother will be so trusting. And it will not work without trust." The little goddess lifted her shoulder in a shrug. "I will be glad to teach you anything I can, and happy to see you safe. Do you have any questions for me?" The brisk way that Kaya continued stated very clearly that she would not offer again to do what she'd done. If the dark dragon wished to be protected, he would have to ask her.
