Re: The Conflict Between Dreams and Duty

[Kalinor Cindrius]

"No problem."

(Kalinor hadput his hand on his chest. A brief glow of bluish white energy had surrounded him briefly. This allowed no one to see or hear Kalinor except Natsumi and her sister. After doing this, he fallowed behind Natsumi. He continued to watch out for any suspicious characters. He wondered why they were going to the springs. When they arrived, he looked at the water as the moonlight had reflected off of it.)

"Why are we at the springs, Natsumi?"

[Captain Jade Sparrow]

"Hardly anyone comes out here to these springs at this time of night." Natsumi answered, sitting by Mieko at the edge of the water. Mieko was still shaking and making small squeals because she was still very scared.

"I'm sorry Mieko is so frightened of you." Natsumi said. "She suffers from trauma. She had a very bad experience with the Sanpaia a few years ago. She hasn't gotten over it since."

[Kalinor Cindrius]

"It is okay. I am used to such fearful reactions from people. I am not offended by it at all."

(Kalinor had then knelt down to the frightened sister of Natsumi. He smiled to her as he looked at her. He wanted to in some way prove he was not a threat. Extending his right hand to Mieko, he had opened his hand as his palm faced upward. Suddenly, his hand began to glow a bluish white color as glowing golden orbs swirls upward from his palm. In just a moment, his hand stopped glowing. In his hand was a stuffed animal that looked like a panda.)

"Here, take this. It is a present for you, my dear."

[Captain Jade Sparrow]

Mieko watched kalinor quietly. She was leaning back away from him as he was creating the doll. But in the end, she was very amused to see a stuffed panda. This actually made her smile. She quickly took the panda and hugged it tight.

"Panda!" She said happily. "Cute!"

"Panda is her favorite animal." Natsumi said with a giggle. "See? He is kind, Mieko."

".... Panda!"

[Kalinor Cindrius]

(Kalinor had then stood up. He was happy to have pleased Mieko. He hoped this would have proved that he was not a harmful monster. He then looked toward Natsumi.)

"Pandas are simply adorable. Tell me, how often do these vampires apear in this village?"

[Captain Jade Sparrow]

"Their consistency always fluctuates." Natsumi said to him. "Sometimes they come several nights in a row, and sometimes every other night. We have one regular that I have gotten to know, but he comes here only to get water from this spring."

[Kalinor Cindrius]

"Interesting. It is fascinating this particular vampire only comes to this village for mere water. His heart must be slightly purer than the common vampire."

[Captain Jade Sparrow]

"He always takes some kind of pill with the water he gets from here." said Natsumi. "I don't know what it is for, because he never tells me. But not once have I seen him bite into anyone."

"Either way!" Mieko interrupted. "He is just another one of those stupid creatures. As our duties to protect this village, we will kill Andonis along with all the other Sanpaia! Natsumi, you need to stop ditching us for performing arts! That is not what you are supposed to be doing. You need to help everyone here be safe from those things!"

[Kalinor Cindrius]

"A pill. Perhaps this pill must be what is preventing this Sanpaia from attacking this village. Perhaps this pill is a blood replacement."

(Kalinor had walked over to the spring. He gazed into it and saw his reflection. Suddenly, a small portion of the spring had swirled like a vortex. materializing from the vortex was a small orb of water. Kalinor grabbed hold of the liquid orb. Although he held the orb of water in his hand, it did not spill or even degrade in any way.)
