<sub>He let his red eyes look up at the stars. The nights were so clear out here. He looked over at Kyle across the fire from their campfire. He'd made the fire himself. He had gotten so much more use to his powers since he left Magikus. He could now work with his own DNA to shift back and forth between being human looking or full on dragon. Of course he could still be half and half too, but it was easier to be one or the other. He was proud at how quickly he could shift. When he'd first done it it had taken about five minutes. Now he could do it in about ten seconds. He didn't do it very often though because it made his entire body ache from the transition For some reason when he was human looking his eyes turned red. He didn't understand why. They were green in his dragon and halfling form. His eyes smiled, a grin twitching to life on his lips. He actually enjoyed having his brown hair back. It was an emerald green when he was a halfling.

He nodded to Kyle.

"Want some more meat?"

He smiled, offering an anonymous animal well done on the end of a stick. They hunted for themselves out here. Most of the time Chris himself going after the animals. He was leaner than he had been at Magikus. He was well muscled. He wore simple brown and green that could easily blend into the surroundings. Kyle had been with him for a few years now. They were in love and you could see it flicker in Chris' eyes whenever he looked at the lithe reddish haired male.</sub>

Kyle glanced across at the fire towards Chris and smirked, "You overfeed me. I've allready had a second helping." But even as he said this he slid his plate over lazily, his green eyes half lidded with enjoyment. It almost felt like they weren't hopelessly lost somewhere in South America. For a few days now, he'd been pretending to know exactly where they were going... but he was in very deep s.hit. He'd lost the map three days ago, and hadn't told Chris. "So like...about the map..." he said, trying to sound casual and clearing his throat in the process.

"Uh...what do you say we just uh...forget...about the map...and let adventure take us where it will, eh? Doesn't that sound...thrilling?" he asked in a weak voice, offering a feeble laugh and an apollogetic grin that said 'oops, I totally lost the map.' in a cute way. "It'll be uh...it'll be great! Just...dandy..." Kyle looked competely guilty as his eyes squinted. He'd never been very good at hiding his emotions from Chris, and ever since they'd first met he seemed to always know exactly what was going through his mind. Which was nice, in a way. It was also irritating at time. Especially at times like this. I'm...so fried. Haha. Sh.it.

<sub>Chris smiled as Kyle took the meat on his plate. He also took a bite of the juicy stuff. Mmmm boar. He looked over at Kyle as he bagan to talk, listening to the soft crackle of the fire and then to some sort of wild night bird in the trees. He paused to listen to the noise, going on edge. His eyes focused on Kyle again. Let adventure take them. Chris grinned, gulping his food. He already knew Kyle had lost the map. He'd found it a few days ago when he'd gone to find some water and had it tucked safely in his back pocket at this very moment. He didn't want to tell Kyle and make him mad. He figured eventually he'd just leave it where Kyle could find it, he just hadn't gotten around to forgetting it yet. Thats all. He bit into his meet again.

"Hmm... adventure. Yeah, i like the sound of that. How long have wee been wandering the jungle now? A month? We still haven't found a single lost temple or anything. I thought this place was indigenous to that kind of stuff. If you ever wanna go back, y'know just tell me. I'll go anywhere you want to Kyle. I follow you like a puppy wherever you go and you know it."

His red eyes twinkled. He felt tense and he didn't know why. Was it instincts? He felt something was going to go wrong but he told himself it was only a feeling. Just his imagination as they were surrounded by God knows what in the middle of noman's land. The two were unaware that they were being watched. The demon sitting in the trees nearby gave another shrill sort of call to the demons hiding nearby.

K-kkkkkrrrroowww!!

The demon on the ground on the other side sat tight. They were going to steal the red haired one. not the brown haired one. If he ut up a fight they were to kill him or hold him off till they got away. Those were the orders from wherever it was they got them from. Jerron wasn't one to go against orders. he wasn't peaceful, just lazy. He didn't like to start fights so he just did what he was told.</sub>

((XD okay the demon in the tree I am naming... uhhh Tabby and the one on the ground is Jerrow!!! XD I had to name them :3))

[raihnstar]

Kyle gaped at him. Okay. That was a little weird. He knew that Chris knew he had lost the map... Haha. He'd been living here for over fifteen years and he still wasn't used to how forgiving the people were... "...Oh...kay..." What, he wasn't going to get yelled at for losing the map? Not that Chris ever lost his temper... Suddenly he felt a wave of greatfullness for his man, and he hopped up quickly. If now wasn't the time... There was something in the air that made him feel like he should be moving more quickly...

Calm down, Kyle. You're just nervous because...because. Kyle didn't much like showing emotion. It was the hardest thing about being around Chris all the time. He wanted to show how much he loved the man, but it always came out sounding stupid, or he just wouldn't say it at all. So many people thought he was cold because of that. But...being raised where showing emotion was a sign of weakness, it was hard to get past that. Even if he'd been trying to get past ever since he'd met Chris. He bent over near his pack and took out a smooth black stone.

Once he had it he scampered back to the fire, this time to where Chris was sitting, and he extended his arm. "I found this... Thought it was...neat... Look, hold it up to the fire." As the fire shone through it, the rock actually seemed to change, to show hidden colours and sparkle and swirle, and flicker like the flames did. It's us. Kyle wanted to say, but he knew that Chris understood. His hand snaked over to the other boy's and held it comfortably.

Get the bad child. The redhead child. Get the child. Not a child anymore. King of hell. King of Hades. Come, king. Tartarus needs you. You need Tartarus. Get away from the filth. THe filth. Love is filth. An exerpt of the dialog that was constantly running in Pilea's head. She was one of the more frightening demons, with huge eyes and sharp teeth, huge hands... she could crush two men's heads in those hands. Besides here a silent shadow made the trees shiver. "It is alllmost tiiiime." the Shadow hissed, watching the two men's faces glow with the firelight.

<sub>Chris felt his heart do a sumersault. He actually liked that feeling, even if it was slightly uncomfortable and giddy like. Kyle seemed shy, getting up and going to his bag. Christ sat forward with interest, watching Kyle come over to him and hand him the stone. it was nice to hold things with his fingertips instead of claws. He liked his skin more than any other part of being able to turn humanish again. He could feel things more clearly and he didn't have to worry about cutting people with his claws. He held the stone up like Kyle said and sure enough there was a swirl of color and sparkles and Chris smiled, understanding. Like them. Kyle's hand slipped into his own and he leaned back against a log, thumb running softly over Kyle's smooth skin. Again his heart did a flop and he smile, raising Kyle's hand and brushing his knuckles with chris' lips. He showed small signs of affection here and there, knowing Kyle would show more when he got use to it. He understood where Kyle came from, even if he didn't exactly know he was going to be the King of Hell.

Tabby looked down from the tree with sharp eyes, the black slit in her gold pupils watching the two closely and giving a growl in her head at the display of such disgusting warmth. Her slim black tail circled the branch she was sitting on. She was a plain looking demon. Not as scary as some of them. She had leathery black wings on her back, short choppy hair hung around her face. Her hands were claws as much as her feet and her ears were long and pointed, the tips black and raggedy looking. She sent a small black shadowy moth fluttering down. The black moth wasn't a real moth, but one of her own personal minions that could transform into whatever it saw most useful at the time. The only problem being it couldn't transform into anything much bigger than a house cat.

The moth landed on Jerrow's shoulder. Each demon had his or her own specil sort of traits and Jerrow's was very distinct when you looked at him. He had ruddy brown hair atop very tan skin. If he could have looked like any race he would have been hispanic. His black eyes looked from beneath leaves and twigs. he was hidden well, squatting and not making a sound. It was amazing to think he was actually breathing. The moth whispered to his ear.

It issss almosssst tiiiime. At the nexxxxt caw we taaake the boyyyy

A small hissing voice told him, flickering away from him and fluttering around the light and small place the targets were as the minion told the other two the plan. They would take the boy and Tabby and Jerrow would get rid of the other one.</sub>

Kyle blushed when Chris ran his soft lips against his knuckles. Every time he did something like that he felt butterflies jump in his stomach. A tiny smile twitched at his lips as he looked he looked into the fire with those cat eyes of his. Tentatively he put his head on Chris's shoulder, his eyes going half lidded again and his arm slipping around the other man's back, and the other hand resting on Chris's knee. "We'll go everywhere. We'll go to China, and Egypt and we'll go everywhere together, okay? Just...together." It was as far as he could get to explain how he felt about Chris. Kyle looked up a little and paused for half a second, his lips inches from the crest of Chris's neck. He brushed them against his neck, like a tiny butterfly fluttering against his skin.

A crow cawed, and he was suddenly flying...flying away form Chris, in the air, with pain in his chest. Something had barrelled into him, winded him. He landed about five yards away, hitting a tree with a hard crack. The world spun and he two gigantic hands pick him up. Kyle didn't even struggle, he was so surprised, and his face was looking at Chris with a shocked sort of awe at what was going on before he started to fight back. But Pilea's hands were huge...she didn'te ven have ot struggle as she held him. "Let-- me-- GO!" Kyle hissed, attempting to kick away the thing. The demon.
--
The third caw had sounded and the shadow had slipped out of the trees when his companion had shot through and grabbed Kyle. Now all they had to do was distract the dragon long enough for Pilea to open the portal. "I have a message for you, man. A message from the lord of hell." his voice was quite clear, allthough it was not above a whisper. "Firstly, if you attempt to resist...you shall be immobilized to hear this message."

<sub>Chris smiled as Kyle rested againt him. There was a soft flutter against his neck and he looked down into Kyle's cat like eyes, his own red eyes glowing into his with a soft fire. It was a nice moment between them. But moments never last forever or nearly long enough and there was a shock as Kyle was born away by something. Someone. Chris was on his feet in an instant, rage flooding to life in his ruby orbs. He growled, baring his teeth. Fangs edged his mouth and he let out a menacing roar. Many did not see Chris like this and he'd only done this a few times when pushed this far. His roar echoed and there was a shadow in front of him. He didn't even hear what it was saying as he lunged, a sickening sort of tearing noise as he got lsightly bigger, green scaled wings ripping from his back and claws sprouting from emerald scales shimmering to life where his hands were. His tail too had torn to life when his wings had grown. Good God that had been the fastest transformation he'd ever done and he recoiled in pain, skin rippling as he groaned. He stumbled back, looking up again and roaing feircly in warning.

Owww... owww.. Kyle... owww...</sub>

[raihnstar]

Pilea was running from the suddenly gigantic dragon thing, and yelping in fear and Kyle continued to try to get her to open her hands. The spell. The incantation. What is the spell. Get the spell. Say the spell. Say the spell. Baruch...Bachus...Nume...Mercury. Mercury. "By Mercury I do call to rip the threads in the earth and cary us to Hades the underworld." Her voice was disgusting...little more than a groan and a slithering hiss...In front of her a large tear in the world revealed a great chasm. "CHRIS!" Kyle's strangled voice alled out as he tried to get away from the demon. Pilea jumped into the hole without hesitation and it closed half a second later.

The shadow floated behind the dragon and touched a smokey hand to it's back. It muttered an incantation and There was a ripping noise. Chris was laying on the ground, paralyzed, in his regular body. "Much better...I said I've got to tell you something." The shadow said, giving the boy an evil grin.

"The Lord of Hell must return to his realm, and relearn the arts of war and ruling and cruelty. Love must be forgotten. Love will be forgotten. Be warned, should you choose to go after him, and caught...you will be torn limb from limb and feasted on by the Lord of Hell... And if you are not caught, and reach the lord anyway--" he paused now, to give him a sly smile full of mirth, "I'm sure you'll be surprised at the transformation he'll have undergone, by then. He will be changed... He is lord of hell. Do not chase after false hopes..."

He bent down now, his tongue was red and dripping with saliva. "You beautiful boy, I see why he fell for you." the shadow hissed, "But alas...Orders are orders...I can't make the most of...this delightful situation." It chuckled. "Fear Hell, mortal. Fear the Lord of Hell. For his power is the greatest of all."

<sub>Chris watched as the demon who had Kyle spoke, jumping through a sudden tear in the air. He started towards it but after no more than a step something touched his back and in an agaonized roar of rage and pain this wings and tail seemed to shoot back into his body. He fell to the ground, gritting his teeth harshly as tears sprang to his eyes at the pain. He looked abck up wildy, searching for the place where Kyle had disappeared. He was gone. Gone! His eyes widened and he tried struggling, shocked disbelief touching his face. He heard a voice and looked up, glaring full of hate at the shadowy demon.

"I don't care! God f.ucking dammit! I said I'd follow him anywhere and to Hell I'll go! You can't stop me! Rip me to shreds but I wont stop until I see him again! DAMN YOU!!!"

He growled as he stopped struggling, eyes looking again to the place where he had last seen Kyle's frantic eyes before he had vanished. Kyle. He felt his heart again and instead of a sumersault it gave a depressed painful squeeze. He groaned. Dammit. He didn't think he'd feel so bad if anything happend. He realized then that he hurt all over. He went limp, gasping. Damn he hurt. Every inch of him was throbbing as if he'd been beaten all over.</sub>

["Parker!"]

[raihnstar]

((XD you're the evil bad guy who has to train him to do bad things again. :3))

"Your choice, fool mortal." the demon said with a hiss, before disappearing as if he'd never been there.
