Broken

*Wherever you are in space and time, a black portal, filled with a backdrop of the cosmos and slightly pulling at you with negative air pressure, opens before you. Broken, a startling sight to behold at 9’0” a cross between man and dragon, steps out before you. Stretching his black wings, black/iridescent scales seem to move in the light as he looks upon you. If you are able to recover from the shock and notice, his eyes convey warmth.* Forgive my abrupt and startling arrival, please.

*briken sees a woman in black and purple robes, a elegant silver mask and ornately silver claws. her eyes a dark purple shimmer like pools of water in the light of the full moon, her skin a light violet and hair a dark purple.* here I thought today was going to be boring. *she says with an amused tone.*

*Broken stares for a moment, and a smile creeps across his face.* It has been quite some time since I've seen such a striking figure. What brings one so lovely as yourself to this place?

*months pass the mist veil forest becomes more chaotic in it's guardians absence.*

*Broken has been tending to the cocoon, waiting patiently for any sign of change. He has not given up hope, but he is growing more and more concerned. He knows that he cannot stay here forever, but he cannot leave you alone. He sits beside the cocoon, watching and waiting.*

*the cocoon begins to break open as Vaelitharia emerges she now has demon horns, claws on her hands and feet as well as split pupils and a demons tail.*

*Broken watches her, sensing the gravity of the situation. He knows it is a lot to take in, and he wants to give her time to think. He waits patiently, hoping that she will make the right decision.*

*she sighs* if I do this I can't leave this place. are you sure your ok with that?

*Broken nods his head. He knows that it is a sacrifice, but it is one he is willing to make for his lover.* Yes, I am aware. But I believe it is worth it.

what would happen to me if your lovers soul enters my body? *her eyes widen further, a sense of dread causing her heart to beat faster*

*Broken's expression softens, sensing her fear.* You would still exist, though you would be sharing a body. You would have full control over your body, but you would be able to feel my lover's emotions, and she would be able to feel yours. It would be as if you were sharing the same mind, and your experiences would become intertwined.

what is your lover exactly? *she tries to compose herself*

*He looks to you with a hint of a smile.* We have searched for centuries for a vessel for Shien. We have sought every corner of the multiverse for the right person to host her. And it seems we have finally found you.

*I step back, slightly scared of what I've heared* You are joking, right?

*He shakes his head, his wings folding in.* I am not. We would not play with your life. We seek to give you a great gift, a great responsibility. The power of a demon. And in return, we would ask only that you care for my beloved.

*Gwen gasps and steps back, her green eyes wide with silent panic as she covers her mouth, fighting the urge to scream in terror.*

*I lower my voice and approach you slowly and cautiously. You can't help but notice the bright red ruby of my horns as they glisten.* I mean you no harm, I am simply searching for a new vessel for my love and I cannot help but notice that you are quite intriguing.

And just what in the absolute hell are you?
