There Will Be An End

[Ricia]

"He seemed evil when he was hurting the town... but before and after that... he didn't seem evil at all... But... now I think he was just upset. He is very sad I think. Great inner pain. But I think the little girl makes him feel better... but sir why did you get me as well?" Pheo asked Dasuke, still following him.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Because thats what me and Soki do we save the people who need it most," Dasuke told him

 

[Ricia]

"I was not in need sir... the little girl was in need. I was just waiting." He sounded like he was assuring Dasuke.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I am not so sure," Dasuke told him

 

[Ricia]

Pheo looked at him questioning, "Why not?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"because I think us saving you was a good thing," Dasuke said

 

[Ricia]

"Ok.. I didn't mean to seem ungrateful. I just... I don't know what to do." Pheo told Dasuke.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"We'll figure something out," Dasuke smiled

 

[Ricia]

"Um.. sir..." Pheo said trying to get his attention again.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Yes phoenix?" Dasuke asked

 

[Ricia]

"I... don't like to be touched sir... because when I touch others... I feel their emotions and pain as well as my own. I like... when the emotions are nice... but they are not always." Phoenix said softly. "It's why I get sold back often. Owners don't like when I blurt out how they feel. I made a bad pleasure slave in someone's eyes.. and a good one in others.. but most hated me knowing their deepest fears... I know the emotions... even the ones you are unaware of."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I see, well this is a house for misfits you are right where you can be safe," Dasuke told him

 

[Ricia]

"Ok..." Phoenix said softly, "I like play with the children..."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Do you?" Dasuke smiled "we get caravaners with kids through here alot,"

 

[Ricia]

"I do... children are so innocent... their emotions are so pure. I feel no greater joy than the emotions of children..." Phoenix told Dasuke.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Dasuke smiled "I have a little girl not much older then Star,"

 

[Ricia]

Pheo smiled brightly, "Really? I.. hadn't seen her around." Pheo pointed out.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"not yet," Dasuke said "She is with a friend of the families right now, she wanted to go see the main temple city,"

 

[Ricia]

"Temple..." Pheo said with a bit of wounder. "I always thought monks were amazing.... the ones so close to nature... the inner human peace." Pheo said slowly, he blinked thoughtfully. "Traveling would be fun." Pheo seemed slow with everything he did: Eating, talking, thinking. Of course if you pointed out to him he'd try and hurry.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Would you like to travel with Rose?" Dasuke asked Pheo, "she gets to go to alot of places,"

 

[Ricia]

"That is a very generous offer sir..." pheo said not she what to say or do. Really he was trusting hime with his child. "May I think about it?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Of course," Dasuke smiled

 

[Ricia]

Pheo nodded and started to help him clean.


Axesort took several days to even return to any kind of normal, though far from healthy. He felt uneasy at the thought of owning a human his life. Dragon pride was a thing.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Star still stayed close to Axesort as he recovered. She was getting used to the place and all it's activity though

 

[Ricia]

Axesort was tired, mostly of everything that happened. He had so little faith and being around this home didn't help but destroy his moral more. They had found his things easy enough. He will end up giving soki one of the stones from his horde and hope that will suffice.
