UN: Akhet

[ahew_kha]

[Guess who's gotten back from the Outlands after an experience, it's Kisara.]

I have a really weird question! First off, is there anyone here who, um, might have an idea about how reincarnation works? I have some questions, if you do, which I'd prefer to talk about in person.

Other than that, while I was out, I came across an abandoned village that... evidently was where my kind had been living previously. And I found a baby out there, who I... might have brought with me. Since we've... lost the person I think would be best qualified to check him out, is there anyone else who knows anything about mythical creatures that could make sure he's okay? I know a bit, but I just... want to make sure?

And before anyone asks, yes, yes I did take a picture of him. [Which she'll kindly attach to this post, poor thing's about the size of a damn chihuahua.]

...I assumed you meant a human baby and was going to ask why you hadn't asked the medical unit.

[ahew_kha]

[Oh. Oh.]

Ah, no, though I can see where the confusion comes from! I'm... not really human, so I guess that didn't really translate to those who don't know me. He's very much a baby dragon.

[stavros]

Does that mean he's going to grow up to look like you?

[ahew_kha]

I'm honestly not sure, dragons can be various sizes just depending on the dragon, a lot like humans. That and... he's several generations separated from me and I don't know if sizes have changed since then.

[stavros]

Generations? You're that old and still have to go to school?

[ahew_kha]

It's... a long story. That I honestly don't entirely understand myself. As far as I'm aware, my current body is seventeen?

[stavros]

The world truly is mysterious.

[ahew_kha]

It truly, truly is. But I admit this time is a lot more fascinating than the one I remember before.

[stavros]

They do say interesting times are the most dangerous, and we are facing the end of the world, so...

[ahew_kha]

It's certainly not set in stone, nor would it be the first time I've faced high stakes like this. [You kind of died last time, Kisara.]

[stavros]

That is true. After all, fate has brought us here to defy the danger, has it not?

[ahew_kha]

Fate. For some reason we're here, whether it's to hasten our downfall or to stop it, we've yet to really see.

[stavros]

Isn't that the same as anything, though? Fate is what comes to pass; we cannot truly know beforehand.

[ahew_kha]

I suppose it would depend on if you think fate is kind or cruel, or has any morality at all, right?

[stavros]

That's always a difficult one. We must all suffer, but we do it to protect the world because we must. Some people just can't be normal.

[ahew_kha]

Tell me about it, I'm all too aware of not being able to be normal. [Kisara, you never had a chance at being normal.]

[stavros]

Because you're a dragon?

[ahew_kha]

That's part of it. Also my appearance as a human is... questionable with the area I'm from?

[stavros]

You mean that they usually don't look like you?
