Akkey Black: “Fiendal?”
The melting snow crunched under her feet as she trudged back up to the hidden spot on the cliffs where she had stayed with the demon. After her little incident with the portals, Dario insisted that she stay with him for a few days to rest, and thus hadn’t seen her friend in a while. But she knew he’d be up here.
She stood, hand on her hip, listening intently and keeping an eye out for him. “Where are you?”
Firkugaan: Fiendal walked up alongside her, his steps leaving behind small puffs of black dust in the snow. He mustered up as much as he could handle “Hello Akkey, how are you?” he gave a small smile.
Akkey Black: “Whoa!” She jumped slightly in surprised and turned to him quickly, “Hey! I’m fine… Sorry I disappeared on you like that, I was over at Dario’s place.”
Firkugaan: “Dario?” he said, thinking for a second before his eyes flashed brightly. He staggered and covered them with his hand, taking a couple of seconds to get rid of the sharp pain he felt. “The- The deer Half breed, right?” He managed to say rather weakly.
Akkey Black: Her arm shot out to support him as he lost his balance, placing a hand on his upper arm, “Hey!” she peered up worriedly at him, trying to see through the fingers that covered his eyes, “Yeah that’s him. Fiendal, are you alright?”
Firkugaan: “Yeah, I’m just getting weaker. I can’t fight my change off forever.” he managed to say as he stood up straight. He took his arm down to Akkeys shoulder “Thank you for your worry.”
Akkey Black: Her brow still creased as she watched him. He has to change back. “You look like you’re in immense pain. Maybe… maybe you shouldn’t fight it anymore.”
Firkugaan: “I know I shouldn’t” he looked at Akkey, his face showing his pain, not the pain he felt physically, but the pain he felt in his heart. He pulled her in for a hug “can I just ask you to do one thing for me?”
Akkey Black: He could feel her face heating up through his shirt. She kept her hand on his arm, tightening her grip unknowingly, “Wh-what is it?”
Firkugaan: “stay with me, so that I may one day stay with you” he looked down at his old friend and smiled “I’m glad that I could spend time with you like this”
Akkey Black: “I…” Akkey exhaled and blinked rapidly, “I promised you I’ll be the anchour to your human self.” She grinned a little hesitantly towards him.
Firkugaan: Fiendal leaned down and gently pressed his forehead to hers for a moment before he moved and gently kissed where their head had just met. His body began to shake and let out more of its black dust. “I love you Akkey, I hope I can see you again.” he smiled and stepped away from her as more dust began to come from him.
Akkey Black: The skin on her forehead tingled right where his lips touched it, “Fiendal!”
She let out a cry as the wind picked up and blew more of the hazy blackness around them. She threw up an arm to shield her eyes and tried to keep her balance; he was disappearing under the storm of dust.
Firkugaan: The dust formed an aura around them, Fiendal reached out his hand and gently rubbed the top of Akkeys head. His hand stayed present for what felt like a few seconds before fading, all was still as the dust hung in the air.
Akkey Black: Don’t go. The words were caught in her throat as she felt his hand on her head. Then it disappeared.
The silence surrounding them was unnerving, as if the world held its breath with her. Akkey brought her arm down and opened her eyes very slowly.
Firkugaan: The dust began to move, the air rumbled and shook as the darkness began to move to one area, his demon body began to grow and form I’m the dust, his legs cracked the floors they stomped down, his tail doing the same. His wings extended out, a Violet light shining through the cracked appearance underneath. His head formed last, long and with streaks of the same colour leading up to his bright horns. His form would match the larger of the pedestrian dragons, and he looked on high alert. His energy wandered before he calmed, the black dust was gone, having made itself to his form.
Akkey Black: She watched him solidify and take form, feeling the shifting of magic and power in her bones. Eyes wide, she brought her arms down to her side with a shaky exhale, staring at the demon as he worked his muscles.
Fiendal was gone.
Firkugaan: Firkugaan stayed for a moment, sensing what may be around him. He turned to Akkey slowly. Assessing her, despite all he could feel he was essentially blinded by his pain. He was just trying to find something to help him.
Akkey Black: She hesitated for what seemed like a long time, then took a very small, tentative step forward, hands open. Her mind was a jumble of thoughts. She didn’t know if Firkugaan remembered her, remembered anything, if he knew what even happened to him.
Her breath shallow and hushed, eyes trained on him, ready for any kind of reaction; she took a few more slow steps towards him.
“Hey…”
Firkugaan: The demon focused on the voice, he recognised it. He slowly wandered towards her, focusing as he tried to calm his powers.
Akkey Black: “Hey, you’re okay…” she kept her hands hovering right in front of her, speaking in a low, calm tone. She took another step towards him, almost touch his snout, “It’s me… Akkey…”
Firkugaan: He stopped, staring at Akkey. His focus staying on her. Akkey. he said, his voice like low thunder. His ears tuning to her voice. His powers were easing off.
Akkey Black: “Yeah…” she said carefully, feeling the pressure around them lessen. Gently, she let her hand touch his nose, “It’s me. Akkey… remember?”
Firkugaan: He pressed into her hands as his bright colour began to fade. I remember you, Akkey. Though my memories have changed. He said as kept his form still. What happened to me? 
Akkey Black: She pressed her lips together in a sad line, then leaned her head on his, falling slowly to her knees. She closed her eyes, “You were human. For a short time, you got your memories back.”
Firkugaan: Ah. I hope that we enjoyed our time while I was human. He said. Sounding almost upset. As his form began to change to normal. Was there anything notable that I did while human?
Akkey Black: “I hope you did. I know I did,” she lifted her head to look at him as he settled back into clarity.
“Ah…” her cheeks flushed slightly, remembering his confession, “We, uh… You met Chief Grey; she assigned us on a scouting mission on a dungeon. We’ll be working with Nala and a couple of other half breeds.” She bit her lip, wondering if she should bring it up.
Firkugaan: He sat in front of her. Listening to what she said, his body shuddered slightly at the name. The warden, I rather dread meeting with her again.
Akkey Black: She tilted her head curiously. She felt this same vibe during their meeting with Grey. “What do you mean? You’ve met her before?”
Firkugaan: I femember her from my young days. But as I have changed, she may not know me. I am overfed she will see me as a threat. He admitted to her. He felt her energy once more, making sure he was in control. Is there anything else you wish to say?
Akkey Black: He felt her hesitate for a moment, then she shook her head, smiling gently, “No. Just know that I’m here with you.”
She patted his snout, “I’m sure she won’t. I’ll tell her.”
Firkugaan: Are you sure? You seemed a touch reluctant. He could tell that she wanted to say something, but would not press the matter further than he was. I am sure that The Warden shall understand you and listen to you.
Akkey Black: She nodded, not saying anything. She got back up on her feet, “Are you feeling alright?”
Firkugaan: The demon nodded. The pain has subsided. I am well. He brought himself up so he was standing at his full height, towering high above Akkey. What shall our next move be?
Akkey Black: “That’s good,” she said, relieved. She looked up at him, “I’m not sure. There will be a debriefing soon for the upcoming missions, but in the meantime we don’t have anything urgent coming up.” 
“You should use it to rest. I will probably be needing much of your help for raid…”
Firkugaan: Firkugaan thought for a moment. I Shall rest here. I still worry about the people and their thoughts of me. He sat down again, looking out at what was beyond. Am i an entertaining human?
Akkey Black: “Entertaining is a word,” she laughed gently, “You’re a kind human. You’re sweet and caring, and tender…”
“You’re an important friend to me, I’m glad I’m able to spend time with you again.”
Firkugaan: And you are the same to me. He sat on the mountain, his tail swaying as he thought. He was having to bide his time to grow to his full size before he could use his powers safely. He was curious about when he was human, though. How did you find spending time with my human form? 
Akkey Black: “It was very good. We had 25 years to catch up on. The last time we spoke was in the midst of Ragnarok, when you saved my life. And now you told me that you–” she caught herself, and sighed, gazing far away.
Firkugaan: Firkugaan waited for the rest of her sentence but could feel her apprehension. He thought some more for in case there was anything he wanted to learn. If I could stay human…
Would you let me stay by your side still?
Akkey Black: “I’d let you stay whether you’re demon or human. I’ll be your anchour.”
