"....a lot." Jaden replied.
"I had a nightmare again, about being torn in half and the two halves consuming each other endlessly." he said.
"When I woke up, I know what I had to do." he went on.
"I went to the pond, where my reflection was half-human, half-monster, and I needed to show the blade that I could accept who I was." he continued.
"It knew I meant it when it stopped cutting me."

Quiet! Lady Luna is speaking!- - - -
Demitra was silent as she listened before pausing.
"How did it know?" She asked, her voice curious.
"Or rather, what did yoiu do?" She asked

- - - -All right, she is finished. You may speak again.
Jaden sighed.
"I..." he stammered.
"It seemed like it was able to materialize both sides of me." he said.
"Looking back on it, it was an illusion, but it seemed real. And the human side and vampire side demanded I pick a side. Demanded I pick one, and slay the other." he went on.
"The sword then allowed me to use it, to kill the side I denied." he told her further.
"I then asked them to stand close together, which they did, and used the blade to decapitate the both of them at ones." he then said.
"Because I am not a human. I am not a vampire. I needed to stop thinking like that. I am a Dhampir. I am my own entity, separate to both humans and vampires."
"I..." he stammered.

"Well, that really is something that you needed to do.""Demitra commented.
"I'm thrilled you actually managed to. I know finally tackling what the sword wants you to tackle is not easy." She then said with a light sigh.
"Mother and I have been there. We know it's not easy, but it's doable." She added.
"I knew you'd be able to succeed."

- - - -All right, she is finished. You may speak again.
Jaden smiled.
"Thank you." he replied.
"....what did you have to do?" he asked. "If I may ask." he said further.
"You don't seem like the kind of person the blade would task with something like that." he commented.
"If you'd rather not say, then I apologize for asking."
"Thank you." he replied.
"....what did you have to do?" he asked. "If I may ask." he said further.
"You don't seem like the kind of person the blade would task with something like that." he commented.

"Had... to come to terms with my mana." Demitra answered honestly. Jaden just looked to her with a puzzled expression on his face.
"What... do you mean? I thought that was a thing all mages had to do?" He asked. She shook her head.
"I'm a Fyrane, but I'm losing my flames." Demitra then said before bringing a hand out and creating what looked to be a fireball made of shadows.

- - - -All right, she is finished. You may speak again.
Jaden was silent as he saw the 'fireball'.
"Oh..." he said.
"Oh, I... I see." he muttered.
"I... never thought I would see a Fyrane without flames." he commented.
"Or... a mage whose mana underwent any sort of shift like this." he said further.
"Do you know WHY it's happening?" he asked her.
"Oh..." he said.
"Oh, I... I see." he muttered.
"I... never thought I would see a Fyrane without flames." he commented.

Quiet! Lady Luna is speaking!- - - -
Demitra shook her head.
"Not a clue." She answered as the shadowed flame vanished.
"The only speculation and idea is the fact that my father is multi-elemental." She then said.
"But even then, it is nothing more than a guess."

- - - -All right, she is finished. You may speak again.
"....I see." Jaden responded.
"Wait." he then said.
"Your father?" he asked.
"You know who your father is?" he asked her.
"Does he not live here? Or even come here?"
"Wait." he then said.
"Your father?" he asked.
"You know who your father is?" he asked her.
"Does he not live here? Or even come here?"
Quiet! Lady Luna is speaking!- - - -
Demitra was silent as Jaden asked his questions.
"I haven't seen him for ... years." She then answered.
"When Mother and I had to flee one of our homes in the past, lest we end up dead because we're Fyrane's, he... stopped coming by. I don't know if it's because that was his choice, or because he does not know where we are, admittedly." She added.

- - - -All right, she is finished. You may speak again.
"Oh..." Jaden replied.
"I... kind of understand." he said.
"I don't know who my father is." he told her.
"Just... yeah. Never knew." he said.
"And Mother never really talked about him, for whatever reason."
"I... kind of understand." he said.
"I don't know who my father is." he told her.
"Just... yeah. Never knew." he said.
"And Mother never really talked about him, for whatever reason."
Quiet! Lady Luna is speaking!- - - -
Demitra paused a moment.
"You've... never really spoken about your mother." She then said.
"Why?" She asked after a second.
". . . bad blood?"
"You've... never really spoken about your mother." She then said.
"Why?" She asked after a second.
". . . bad blood?"
- - - -All right, she is finished. You may speak again.
".....sort of, and not really." Jaden replied.
"Mother was... very overprotective of me." he told her.
"She didn't want me leaving the house much, always wanted to know where I was, insisted that I never leave when she left to do whatever..." he listed off.
"It was stifling." he said.
"So I decided that, when she was gone, I would run away. I left her a goodbye note, and left the house... just to see a group of hunters approaching." he went on.
"Most chased after me, while I saw some stay behind to demolish the house." he then sighed.
"I haven't seen her since she left that one time." he went on.
"No idea where she is, what she's doing, or if she was caught by those hunters." he then finished.

Demitra was silent before sighing.
"Do you want me to try and look for her?" She then asked.
"I'm often going around and hunting out various things around the world." She explained, "So it wouldn't bee much for me to keep an eye and ear out for her."

- - - -All right, she is finished. You may speak again.
"If you wish." Jaden replied.
"I guess she was right, though." he said.
"The world IS pretty cruel and violent to those like me." he sighed.
"But if you hear anything, sure." he told her.
"I..." he then said, before pausing.
"I... actually... don't think I've told you my last name." he realized.
"It's Sherwood."

Quiet! Lady Luna is speaking!- - - -
Demitra paused a moment.
"No... no that never came up." She admitted.
"Good to know." She added with a light laugh.
"And I'll let you know if I hear anything." She then said, payusing a moment.
"The world is cruel to anyone who doesn't fit into the 'standard'."
"No... no that never came up." She admitted.

- - - -All right, she is finished. You may speak again.
"....yeah." Jaden replied.
"I don't even know if there are any other dhampirs in this world." he admitted.
"Well... any living ones, anyway." he clarified.
"I... just... yeah..." he mumbled.
"Mom was a vampire, Dad was a mage... whoever he is... or was..." he went on.
"He's where I got my hair." he finished, gesturing to the blonde atop his head.

Quiet! Lady Luna is speaking!- - - -
Demitra was silent for a moment before looking him from head to toe.
"Huh. Your Mother not a blonde?" She asked after a moment. All in all, she knew very little about the woman that had birthed him, after all. That wasn't too surprising through. He didn't really talk about her.

Jaden shook his head.
"No. She's not." he replied.
"She had red eyes, VERY pale skin, and... well... no real hair colour." he told her.
"Yeah, I know it sounds weird." he muttered.
"But she could only give herself colour with special glamour mana spells."
"No. She's not." he replied.
"She had red eyes, VERY pale skin, and... well... no real hair colour." he told her.

"There is no shame in deterrence. Having a weapon is very different from actually using it." - Ghandi
Quiet! Lady Luna is speaking!- - - -
Demitra didn't say anything.
"that...." she started before shaking her head. She didn't say anything, didn't know what it was that she could say.
"Wow. She should be easy to find, I suppose."
