Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lucian’s chin rested on Joey’s shoulder from behind. He stared at the boat then back at Joey. ‘It’s like you are trying to escape…’ His hand came up and started to play with Joey’s hair as if he was bored. He could hear Joey’s thoughts, and shook his head slightly at all the math he was doing. Lucian smiled slightly at how sophisticated Joey seem to be, but the lack of common sense was about to drive him crazy.

Lucian made a loud sigh/grunting noise and flopped down into the sand. This human was frustrating. He stared up at the sky then placed a hand over his eyes. “Why is Joey leaving beach place?” he spoke with broken English.

Lucian understood why one would want to escape the past, but it is unenviable. “Lucian understands…but Lucian also knows that how far Joey runs…Joey will never run far enough. Lucian would say forget the past and move on, but Lucian knows that even after a thousand years…it is always there.” He glanced over at Joey and continued in his head. ‘Sometimes it is better to face the past and overcome it. If you run now…you will be running forever.’ His wings came out and spread wide on the ground, soaking as much sun as possible. His arm returned to cover his eyes, blocking the sun.

Lucian was standing as soon as Joey lost concentration. He grabbed Joey by the arms and pulled him towards him. Lucian then wrapped his arms and wings around the boy, his chin now resting on top of his head. The images he seen tore through his heart as if someone stabbed him over and over. He tried to pull away from Joey’s mind but found himself trapped instead. All he could do was say, ‘I could make you forget him.’ Lucian knew the consequences he would have to endure from doing this act, but he wasn’t thinking at the moment. His mind was so locked into Joey’s that he wasn’t sure if it was his pain or Joey’s.

Lucian stood there as images flashed inside his head. His arms tightened around Joey, as if he was protecting him. The Dragon came out of him more at that moment then it had in years. He was afraid that he would shred anyone who came to them at that moment. Then confusion crossed his face as the pictures of his parents looked familiar. As if he had seen them before. He shook his head to rid himself of his animalistic thoughts. He needed to control his emotions, but it was hard do to the fact that Dragons emotions were always overwhelming.

Lucian smiled as he heard from Joey’s mind his lullaby. ‘Oh it was so beautif…,’ his eyes widen. How would Joey’s mother know the lullaby he was singing awhile ago? Then he remembered, he remembered saving a pregnant woman from the waters a long time ago. She said she will repay him with dessert. He remembered talking with her for hours about how excited she was about the baby to come. He remembered how she just smiled when she realized what he was and didn’t even care or even fazed her at all. She called him her guardian angel. The woman caught him humming to himself and asked what song that was. He told her it was from his past…she just kept on saying how beautiful it was. Lucian began to hum the song, all the while rubbing Joey’s back. He never talked with her again after that. He did however watch her closely till the baby was born. It was a strong healthy boy…this boy that he was holding.

(((If you had something else planned...I will change it. XD Just thought I would make things more interesting for a bit. nwn )))

Lucian continued to hum with a small smile on his face, ‘Yes.’ He never stopped rubbing Joey’s back. His chin was still resting on top of Joey’s. Lucian was still lost within the memory of Joey's mother. She was very kind hearted.

(((Yay...XD )))
