==Full Text==
Farris sat in front of the fire he had made in the area he knew Indigo operated in. He had yet to nail down his exact location, but he figured a patrol would eventually notify him that he had arrived.
He gripped his crossbow tightly, and made sure the eel he carried was well and tucked under his coat. "Indigo!" He called. "Tis I, Farris! Your family is in danger! Speak to me now lest their blood wets the earth instead of your enemies!"

"I told you, call me Phantom." Indigo stated, striding out of the woods. "What are you doing out here in the woods alone, spider? One of my Furies told me you were here."
He was impressed that Farris had managed to track him further southeast where he'd moved. Irritated that he'd have to put up with more righteous talk from the half breed.

Farris stood and drew his sword. Just because he was here to warn him didn’t mean he wouldn’t pass up the chance to slay him. “Your reckless and murderous ways are endangering your family. People are striking back against dragons thinking they are of yours. I have been doing what I could to stop such things but you have hurt too many people and taken away too many families. People realize they can’t stop you, but they can kill your dragons. If you don’t stop this your family will die before you even come close to achieving your goal.”

Phantom hesitated, startled. He hadn't figured for them to be able to kill his family. He hadn't considered it a true threat to what he held dear.
He loved his dragons.
More than even his hatred for humans.
They were all that truly mattered to him.
He thought he knew that his Furies would die for him.
But would they?
"Why warn me? Me and my flock are your enemy. I could kill you right now, with almost no effort. You have every reason to attack, or let me lose. Yet you are here to warn me of potential threat. Seems a miscalculation." His eyes narrowed.
It must be a trap. He's making things up to get me to back down.

“I, am not, your flocks, enemy!” Farris spat out. “And trust me Indigo I shall slay you where you stand for what you’ve done! But your flock, dragons, are not capable of the evils of man and demons. Those dragons, if left without your orders or direction, would kill only so that they might feed themselves or defend their homes, not this slaughter!”
He took a step forward as if to emphasize the urgency of his point. “Humans won’t just sit back and let you kill them! They will hunt not only you but your dragons as well if you continue to threaten them. Granted, trappers and poachers will always exist, but you are turning everyone towards you. I am your enemy yes. But I cannot just sit back and allow a flock of noble dragons be killed because of your actions.”

Phantom shook his head, flames sparking around him.
So dragons aren't capable of feeling hatred on their own? They can't want justice for their kind? Why does he think Storm stayed? Or Zipshot?
He growled deeply. "I will speak with my flock about it. If they choose to continue, then we will. I dont understand why you think it'd make a difference." He stated, annoyed.
"Your words didn't affect the ones that stayed then, so I doubt that they have any reservations about following me. Despite what you think, I'm not constantly controlling their minds. They chose this."

“I have heard tale of dragons hunting and killing someone, or another dragon who wrong them. I’ve heard of them destroying whole cities while raiding for food and fighting the vikings that defended against them. But! There have never been dragons who have chosen to wipe out entire, innocent populations in the name of vengeance. Especially someone else’s vengeance. They chose this because of your accord, not their own!”
Farris breathed heavily. “It won’t make a difference in the way that you will be killed for your crimes. However...if you do what’s right now, it will make a difference for the lives of your flock. They’ll be able to live free and not in hiding. But if this goes on...and any of them are identified...their lives will be over...” 
The man noticed that the phantom was starting to break away from the conversation. He wondered if he would be able to regenerate his head if it was cut from it’s shoulders. He gripped his sword tighter.

Phantom nodded. "Like I said, I will speak with them and let them choose for themselves if they would die by my side. It seems only fair." He stated.
He noticed Farris' hand on his sword and stiffened.
So, he'd slay me where I stand? Of course he'd try it again. When will he learn?
"Don't try it, Farris. You will regret it." He stated coldly. "That's a promise."

“I’ve regretted letting you live too!” Farris roared, and stepped forward with a slash intent on beheading the man.
furibotgd
Phantom had been ready for an attack, but not that specifically. He backed away, trying to dodge, only for Farris' blade to slice through his neck, causing a tear in his hood and his skin. Some blood spurted out, landing in the grass with a sizzle.
Indigo lashed out with flames, slashing the blade of Farris' sword straight off and throwing the man back with a furious screech.
The Phantom was mad. Very mad.
"BACK OFF." 
Indigo held a hand to his neck, blood leaking from the wound. An inconvenience, and a pain. He'd had enough of Farris.
"Try that again, and it will be the last thing you ever do."

“Then bury next to the children you’ve slaughtered! I shall stand against evil or die fighting!” Farris bellowed as he staggered to his feet and drew up the two crossbows. He let the first bolt fly out across the camp ground towards his head.
furibotgd
Indigo was no longer messing around.
Enough was enough.
He lifted a hand and caught the bolt before it could touch his mask, then threw it aside.
"Not that again, Farris. Pick a new trick."
Flames shot up everywhere. In the trees around them, in Farris' belongings, in the campfire. Everything was lit with the spooky indigo light.
Indigo again didn't bother with his metal sword.
He made swords of pure flame in his arms, capable of slicing through even stone like butter, and dashed for Farris with frightening speed.

Farris was used to getting mortally wounded, brought back, and tortured to what should have been death again when he was caught and outmatched.
But this time he realized he was going to get killed, and not come back. 
“Balls!” He yelled as he dove out of the way. He didn’t know why he shouted that, it just felt appropriate at the time. He had expected furys again, he was outfitted to combat them. But this was not was he was prepared for. He tore off into the woods, pausing only a moment to grab and hurl a long back at his perusing foe.  
furibotgd
Phantom let the flames around them die before damage was caused to the forest, and gave chase, nimble and quick. He was gaining quickly on Farris, dodging the log chucked at him with ease.
I'll teach him a lesson.

Sweat dotting his brow, Farris glanced back momentarily at his movement, and then had to do a double take. It was almost as if the phantom had teleported. Wait...no...was that someone else? Or was it him, I can’t tell in the dark.
He continued to stumble forward to get back to the treeline, hopefully if he got out of the woods Indigo would call off the chase. He fired his second crossbow over his shoulder in an attempt to slow him down. 
furibotgd
Indigo lifted one of his swords and let the bolt go straight through it, lighting and turning it to charcoal, the metal tip losing momentum and flying uselessly to the ground.
He was gaining on Farris, but he had another idea. He let the swords dissipate for a moment and launched himself with his flames. He flew over Farris' head, bringing his swords back out, and landed in front of the large man, ready for a slice at something vital.
Arms? Legs? Face? What if I gave him scars to match mine? He sees himself killing me, bold and sure of himself. 
Eyes.
Aim for his eyes. 
He swiped at Farris' head, near his eyes. All of them.

Farris’s eyes widened as the phantom landed in front of him, and was about to fall away from the attack in vain, when a form swept down and snatched him off to the side, taking out of the way of Indigo’s blade, and into the sky. 
Indigo could see Farri get momentarily dropped, before the outline of a monstrous nightmare stripped off his jacket midair, and grabbed him up again, taking off into the night. 
furibotgd
Phantom watched Farris get carried to safety by a dragon and let his swords disappear. He'd let it go. But he wouldn't play games with Farris anymore.
If the man attacked him, he'd attack back.
He rubbed a finger over the slice on his neck. It had scarred over, and he could feel some blood still there. Indigo sniffed and waited to see if Farris would try anything else.
He did not fear Farris in the slightest.

The silhouette of the dragon disappeared over the treeline however, and took the large man with him…
