The blanket of night offered no peace to the Ancient Ruins; the souls of the dead never seemed to rest. It was just after midnight, and cold air was blowing in mercilessly. The wind seemed to stretch the two loose ends of Damon's headband out to nearly two meters, but they returned to normal once it died down again. The boy was resting in the shadow of one of the remaining columns, possibly meditating, possibly planning. Whatever he was doing, he soon put it aside to embark on a stroll around the area, intending to further explore its secrets. It had taken him quite some time and a lot of determination to find this place, as his main mode of transportation was flight as a cloud, and he had had to fight the incoming winds.
He had felt the constant sensation of being watched ever since he'd arrived here, but hadn't been able to catch anyone in the act. Either they were highly skilled at stealth, or there was some other supernatural force at work here. He was at a disadvantage compared to most others - he had to prior experience with unnatural phenomenon. He never knew what to expect from anyone or anything, which had made him a prime target for a few of the more mystical enemies, but Damon was skilled at escaping.
"Anyone out there?" he called from the top of the hill, resting against what was pretty much the only building around. "I know you're there." This was his new favorite place to come and ponder the concepts of time, life, and death, and he didn't want it to become off-limits.

Rain stepped from the shadows. "You're too keen." She said her eyes slightly narrowed, but she had a joking tone in her voice. ((Its rather short but I don't have anything to go off of atm))

((S'fine.)) "And who are you?" Damon asked, facing Rain. "I don't believe I've met you before. Are you the one who's been watching me?" A pair of clawed gloves formed on his hands and he wiggled his fingers as a warning.

Rain smiled warmly at Damon, she wasn't intimidated, infact she was at ease. "My name is Rain, and yes I was watching you, I had caught your scent on the wind, and was a little supprised to see that there was actually someone out here." She said, her ears twitching slightly as the wind nipped at them.

"That's an unusual name," he grunted, though it was hardly audible. "You could... smell me?... I know I trained a bit too long today, but I don't think I got that sweaty..." His stare focused more on her, trying to assess her significance.

Rain laughed. "Yes, and no its not because you're sweaty." Her grin widened, "If you look closely you notice my ears are on top of my head, and my ears look exactly like a cat's.Thus I am a Neko, known to many as a 'cat demon' " Rain glanced at the ground then, dropped to the ground with a soft plop. Rain looked up at Damon, "Rain isn't my real name, to be honest I don't remember my real name..Oh, whats your name?" She questioned.

"Damon," he said shortly, walking cautiously over and sitting down a few feet away. A thin purple tint clung to the air around him, a sign that he was on edge and ready to erase himself into the sky if anything happened. He examined her ears, moving his eyes rather than his head. "You learn something new every day, I suppose," he mumbled. "How does one forget their own name? It seems like something that would stick in your head through absolutely anything."

Rain's smile wavered. "I was born with an inner demon when I was young, and it caught the scent of blood and I lost control of it..It made me slaughter most of my family..It happened when I wasn't old enough to remember my own name, so I named myself when I got older, and my name came from my love of rain." As she spoke her smile faded, and once she was done her smile returned.

Damon simply stared at her until she fell silent again, then laid back to gaze at the sky. "Everyone has a sob story. Some are just worse than others. If you're still alive, then there's a purpose for you yet. Forget the past, and use the present to prepare for the future." The gloves hissed and burned away, reducing themselves to a mist that quickly dissipated into the air. "Did you come here alone?"

"Yeah." Rain nodded. "To be honest I was worried that I was going to run into a bear or a dragon or something." Rain laughed nervously. Her eyes scanned the surrounding area, hopefully nothing would spring out and take her by suprise. Then again, she hoped nothing bloody came, otherwise things would get real bad, real fast.

"In some ways, I bet I could be more dangerous than a dragon," he said, thinking. "I don't kill, but if I did, you wouldn't know it until you breathe me in and start to die from the inside. There'd be no fight. Of course, that's just in theory; I've never tried it." He closed his eyes, finding it odd to relax in such a place. "What exactly can you do? I mean, most people have a certain skill above the rest."

Rain's eyes grew wide as Damon spoke, but she quickly calmed down.Rain sighed at the question. "I'm advanced in the art of fire, I can create fire in different shapes and forms, and normal water can't put it out." Rain moved a few of her fingers and three blue balls of fire appeared and began to morph. Several seconds later they had changed to create a heart with a rose and a sword clashing in battle around it. Then the morphed again, they became tiny bugs and wizzed around and finaly came back, turning back into balls of fire and then disappearing. Rain smiled at her little display, though it wasn't the best she could do.

A girl of seemingly 16 fell to the ground, five feet away from the two. "Oww.." she muttered under her breath, trying to sit up. The girl was wearing a sleeves black shirt that had a clasp around her neck. The shirt also showed some of her stomach. There was a matching black mini skirt around her waste and knee high boots. Her hair was a blackish blue color and her skin was a deathly pale color.

Rain jumped slightly, and her head turned to glance at the girl. "Well hello there." She said laughing a little. ((0.o rather short..oh well XD))

"Wow," Damon said, watching her display. "That's... potentially destructive," he said with a grin. The grin, however, was wiped away at the arrival of the girl. He stared for a moment, before realizing who exactly it was. "Oh great," he grumbled, rolling his eyes. "What did I do to deserve this?" He sighed when she sat up and he was able to see her face to confirm his suspicions. "Still trying to kill me?" he asked, snickering, "or have you gotten tired of that yet?"
