I take his words in. They are all too true. I feel a lack within me as well, I have for as long as I can remember. This is how my life has been spent. A long and endless search for completeness. I am drawn to Bassarov because he fills a part of what is lacking. From the moment I met him, I sensed that he could bring me what I could not find elsewhere.
"I speak and act from the emotions inside of me. They are like a live volcano, waiting to erupt. It is how I have always done things. My logical thoughts are often burried in thier wake. That is how I became what I am today."
I look down at my hands. They are pale, but shine orange in the glowing light. I remember that day, so long ago, when I gave Kuro my humanity in exchange for this... unlife. I almost smile to think of it. I was so rash, and acting only from my emotions and feelings. I was not thinking clearly of the consequences of my act. I only thought that if I could live forever... I could someday find happiness again.
I look out at the tall mountain, framed in burning light. I have not changed. I am still that timid emotional girl. Now I have been hardened on the outside, the lava cooling to a dark, smooth obsidion, but my raging emotions that lie inside still fuel my every act.

"I couldn't be emotional if I tried. I am too clear thinking and logical. When I am angry or hurt, I can never express that. I just shrug it off, or pretend that it doesnt matter."
Bassarov laughs.
"If we were one person, I think we would be perfect. But instead we live in a deficit of isolated imbalance. If we had children, I would hope that they would be a whole person, and not a half like us. But you are a vampire so we really never have to think about that."

"No, the only way that I can have children, is through a very different type of embrace than what is considered normal."
I look down the hill and see some children playing in a sprinkler in the last dying light. They run about and laugh, oblivious to the pain that so easily snares in the world around them.
"Will we ever be whole? Is there actually any way, or are we just fooling ourselves?"

"I suppose we can learn from one another. And maybe with time and effort we can find wholeness in the lessons we have learned."
Long shadows lean off of the trees, stretching away from the fading light. There is a sadness in this, the ending day. But there is also peace in mellancholy.
Bassarov puts his arm around Kaieka and feels happier, as if there is some hope in their relationship.
That through battles, drama, and trauma, there is a light, albiet a weak one. But any light, is a universe apart from darkness.

"That is what I desire... Wholeness."
I close my eyes and lean into the crook of his arm. It feels peaceful. I am so tired. It is nice to feel a respite from frustration and arguments.

Bassarov gently strokes her hair as the last of the sun, dips bellow the horrizon. He feels jet lagged..and relationship lagged.
His eyes feel heavy, and Kaieka is already resting. He picks her up and carries her to bed. She doesn't even wake up as he moves her. He places her down and lays beside her. He kisses her gently, but swifly drifts to sleep. His conciousness wisked away by the comfort of the bed and her body.

-The streets are crowded with humans. Digusting worthless humans.
-I walk down a side street and past a Catholic Elementary school.
-Ooh, I can not pass this up.
-I wander into the playground and start to play kick ball with the children. They are all very amused and crowd around me.
-When they form a circle around me, I tell them that I shall do a magic trick. It is then that I transform.
-The children run.
-I flap my leathery wings and annihilate all of them with a single exhale of of my firery breath.
-Then I turn to the school. I hit it with my massive tail. The building collapses in a section, and I pummel it again.
-At last I breathe fire at the broken building, roasting everyone inside and turning the rubble to cinder.
-I turn back to a human.
-"That was lovely, I should see Chastity now. How I love that name."

All of the supplies are put away in the cupboards. I still need to get the tables and chairs, but I know that I cannot lift them on my own. I purchased a bed too, so that whoever works in the kitchen will have a place to sleep. That too is too heavy for me to carry by myself.
I decide to go outside and enjoy the evening air. The sun is hovering above the horizon, waiting to set. I walk along, looking at the people that I pass. There are some ragged people, huddled for warmth against buildings. I stop in front of a blind man who has a cup held out for money. I reach into my bag and fill his cup. I reach out my hand and touch his, it is so cold, and whisper a "God bless you." The man smiles at my touch, but recoils at the mention of God. I walk on. This is the way things are. People cannot imagine a god that would let them starve, so they believe in no god at all.

"Kachei hold on a minute I'm going to check on the prisoner." I teleport down to the dungeon and see that she has escaped. I instantly teleport back to his office and I say calmly " I think she has escaped back to switzerland with the other rebel slime I'll go after her and kill them all while I'm at it." I teleport outside of Bassarov's villa and wait for the right moment to strike.

Just as with Moira, Ukko sends an image of himself to the elven Shinobi, Hatake Kakashi.
"I am Ukko, supreme God of this world. I come to you, bearing the grim tidings that Fascia and your child are dead. I see into your heart and mind and know that Fascia was of little significance to you. But the child, should not have suffered such a tragic fate. Surely that loss speaks to you. I come then with a proposition. It is not beyond my power to restore the child's life. However, this can not be done out of the goodness of my heart. It is a process which would require negotiations with certain deities."
Ukko waits a moment before continueing.
"I do not ask much from you, just your allegiance to me and to Red Infinity. A small cost for what you would obtain from me in return. I also have another thing to ask of you. I have some enemies here on Earth...or should I say...those who I would like to see killed. I want you to kill Mikomi, Calithin, and Chastity...the practioner of a dead religion. To this end, I could make you as deathles as Mikomi. That you will not know death until the mission is complete."
Ukko moves away from the light elf
"Four days...I give you four days...to decide what the life of your child is worth."

-I walk down the street and see her. I walk over to her, with my brightest smile.
-"Hello my ivory skinned angel of charity, I have come to help you. You do not mind if I volunteer in the kitchen today, do you?"
-I place my hand on her shoulder.
-"Your skin is so cold, you should dress more warmly. You live in the spirit, but can not deny comfort to the body. Is that not a sanctuary to the soul?"
-I throw my cape around her delicate shoulders.
-"Now then, shall we head back to the kitchen. I am eager to serve the masses....and learn what true goodness is."

His touch sends a shiver down my spine.
He wants to help in the kitchen, wonderful! Even though he works for the league of the godless, I know that there is good in him. He wants to change, to serve. "Aries, the kitchen hasn't opened yet, but I do need to get some furniture back there. You could help me with that if you like. And I could show you how things are done once we get back there."

-"I will do whatever task you and your God require."
-We walk back together. I read her mind and know that she does not trust me completely yet. In time she will. She is good hearted, and they are always the most naive.
-They are also....the most fun to destroy. But I would not settle for a physical destruction. I will not be satisfied until I corrupt her pure soul.
-"Is it ever hard for you to give so much? To deny the body as you do? I know that it is done for a greater good, but would you be any less holy if you were any less pure?"

"It may seem hard at times to do what is right. But I am not my own, I belong to a higher purpose. I cannot focus on my own needs when there are so many that are more needy out there. And purity... purity is what sustains me. I have no power apart from it. I have consecrated my life, to live it pure and right before my God. He has blessed me because of it, and given me strength to continue. Without it... I would be useless."
We stop in front of the furniture store.
"Ah, here we are. We will have to make many trips. I purchased two tables, a bed, and several chairs here yesterday. It will take awhile to get them back to the kitchen. But if we work together, I am sure that we can get it done."
