Setting
Swerving her head up, she looked at the surface of the water, showing the sky in a reflective sort of way. Her glowing green eyes brightened for a second before she pushed her wings up and she flew out of the water, water droplets dripping down her scales. She directed herself to the sand and just plummeted into the grainy substance. She could feel the sand stick to her wet body as she rolled in it, scraping off any excess scales or getting some itches that she had. She made a happy squeal and got back onto her feet, crawling up to grass, her tail trailing out of the water and unto the sand behind her. She shook her body out and plopped onto the grass on her side. She could feel the sun's rays warm her up as the water dried up and the sand started to fall off.
She laid her head on her crossed paws and sighed, bored. She shifted her body into a land-dragon form, the webs between her toes and spines disappearing. She flexed her paws, the claws extending longer as she did so. Her jaw gaped wide open, her long, sharp fangs revealing themselves as she yawned.
Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath as she listened to the birds sing around her. It was soothing, despite the times of now. They haven't bothered her lately, which was always good, but she didn't want something to start up. She tilted her head sideways when she began to sense a presence that was familiar to her. The edges of her lips pulled up into a grin as she sniffed the air. She commanded tree roots to feel around the earth as she lay there. SunRai was nearby. Joy. They needed to talk some things out anyway. At least that would put off having to search for her.
He was out on a mission for Mistress Baiko; he was meant to go search for those worthy to be a pawn to increase her army. It was a delightful task, because he loved to go around and find people to pester until they joined or he would tell Baiko that they need destroyed. He usually warns them first and they mostly join due to the fact that they want to continue living. Flexing his wings back out, he slipped from the branch and glided down lower below the tree canopy to see the forest floor with more ease. Slipping onto another branch, he lightly placed his hand on the tree's trunk beside him, leaning into it. His eyes continued watching as he waited for the perfect person to come around. He usually doesn't ever go up and ask right away; he preferred to hang around them for a couple days first. At least, that's his way of thinking when it was day and he wasn't anywhere too dark. The sun was filtering through the trees enough that his personality wouldn't switch suddenly.
Looking at SunRai, Mhisti beamed brightly, sharp teeth flashing, "You know it! It's great too! It'll even hold you." Giggling, she turned her back to SunRai and looked up to her vine hammock with adoration, "You should try-" She cut off her voice when she heard SunRai growl and Mhisti turned her neck around to face her, tilting her head slightly.
Mhisti dug her claws into the soft soil beneath her feet and took a deep breath. Her nose scrunched up when she caught that terrible scent. "Holy fuck, I didn't realize she was there until now. I must'a been too busy." She turned a circle and sat, facing SunRai. A smirk grew across Mhisti's lips, her leafy-like ears fluttering, "Wanna go?"
Her smirk turned into a frown when she then smelt two other demons. She didn't recognize them as easily as Fumei, but knew well that one was surely Baiko. "Uhm... Or not. Wanna go fly?" Her sapphire eyes glanced in the general direction of the Aroto demons.
Baiko and Hiko then landed nearby. Uh-oh. Her nose twitched as Baiko spoke harshly with her. Fumei hung her head lower, looking up at her older sister. "I know. Promise sister. I was just about to vaporize myself, because I noticed them a moment ago." Her pure-green glow for eyes brightened slightly. Fumei hugged Baiko's leg. "I'm a good-bad girl! Promise!" She glanced over to Hiko. He must of told on her or something. Dick of a brother.
Folding his black wings in, he held out the arrow to him. "Well hi there Foxy. You almost hit me with this." He laughed lightly, his voice with a lilt. "I'm not a bird if you mistook my wing as such." He outstretched his left wing to the side as he spoke.
She stopped behind SunRai and glanced around her to see the three demons in the grass beside the sand and water. The skeleton one always creeped her out the most. Why couldn't his name just be Skelly or something? It made more sense than Hiko. Fumei, the childish demon, was hugging the Queen's leg. Mhisti clamped down on her jaw and held back her laughter. Wonder what happened for Fumei to be doing that.
Fumei was going to vaporize herself, but Baiko had called them out already. Sadness. She never got to do anything fun right off the bat. She should probably step up her game, because Hiko was stealing her shine. She sometimes hated being the baby of the family. Shrugging her wings, she turned her body to face the forest. She smirked, "YEAH BITCHES! OUT!" Water began to flow from Fumei's feet. Basically, it was a threat that she would flood the forest if they didn't listen. Of course, who wouldn't listen to the Queen, Empress, whatever one thinks?
"I know... I shot it at you on purpose because you hold the scent of a demon." He said calmly, his voice deep and husky. He slowly began to circle the male to inspect him a bit better. He was an enemy, but at the same time he wasn't. He wasn't too sure what to do with this thing, so he decided to just give it a chance to help him decide if he was a friend of foe. "What is your name?" He asked as he returned before him.
"Easily mistook as one often." He stuck his tongue out and laughed lightly, folding his wing back. The fox's voice was surprisingly deep. He thought it might have been... well, higher-pitched. After all, the dude was a fox. He tilted his head, "Well, I am half-demon. Half-angel too." He fixed the top hat upon his black hair and he held his hand out for a handshake. "I'm Carlien. What about you, Foxy?"
"Did you come to protect your baby sister?" She asked in a tease to piss off Fumei. It was always amusing to see how the idiotic blue beast would respond. She looked back to the forest, wondering if Mhisti would back her up in her tease. She really hoped so. That way she wouldn't have to deal with the demon's rage on her own.
Her question was answered when SunRai stepped so boldly out into the open. Mhisti sighed and followed close behind, hearing what SunRai said to Baiko. She snickered. "It looked like the baby was having her issues and her super strong... parent-things had to discipline her." Of course, she knew Baiko and Hiko weren't the parents of the blue thing. That's ridiculous, because they were siblings. She just thought that she'd be funny saying what she did.
"Where are you from, Carlien?" He asked calmly. Maybe this one was a traveler like him. As he thought about it, his ears perked with interest. Maybe he could get this strange stranger to join him with going against the queen. His fox like lips pulled into a grin at the idea, but now the question was would he do it? He would also have to befriend the male and see if he even could.
The new question stumped him. "Hm... That's a good question..." He tilted his head to the side slightly, black strands of hair falling along with the movement. "I'm not allowed in either heaven nor hell... so... uhm... Earth?" He straightened his head and smiled, "What about you?"
"Now, I'm going to give you a choice." She began as her grin disappeared and she slowly approached the two creatures. "Either you fly your happy tails away from here, or I kill you and feast on your souls. It is your decision." She stopped approaching them once she was a few feet away. She was much larger than both of them, so she had the feeling they would listen to her once again.
