The air was cold as it brushed past the tall trees that stood in the park. The tall metal lamps lit the stone paths brightly, bathing two individuals in their light.

Julie looked up at Tora, she looked into his blue as she asked her question, her question that she knew would change her life forever.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L3f8ITcOh
"Please tell me..." she said her voice trembling ever so slightly. "What is a half blood?"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH3sA5jD30
Tora with his arms crossed looked down at Julie. He hated these kind of talks, for he knew that they rarely ever ended peacefully, but maybe this time would be different. Julie had already seen so much, and their was still so much to see.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0TF6quCSB
"Half Breed, Half blood, mixed one, it goes by many names, but its fundamentally the same thing in the very end." Tora said, his tone becoming gloomy and joyless.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDI4MXwzlQ
Julie could feel her heart racing, she could feel the goosebumps forming on her arms. It was almost as if she was about to hear a forbidden truth, known to a very few people.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o0VpvRR93
"A half breed or Half Blood is a person with human blood as well as another species blood flowing through their veins."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3TipAU7x1
"Another species?" Julie asked. "As in more than one."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFuw1Co5gt
"Ahhhh!" Tora groaned to himself. "I hate having these conversations. Their always so complicated."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlfKfM7VF0
Julie watched as Tora began to scratch his white hair, she could tell that he wasn't very good at explanations but she decided to stay quite and be patient, which was something that she was still getting use to.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISchEEqKgh
"Remember how I was telling you about the two worlds. The world of light Assiah, and the world of darkness Qliphoth." Tora asked, sitting down next to Julie with an exhausted expression.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3jOJJds75
Julie nodded her head. "Yea."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTuRVnaKVv
Tora looked up at the starry night sky as he continued to explain. "These two worlds are apart of one single plane of existence, the spiritual plane."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYLdh7iQ75
"The spiritual Plane?" Julie asked still trying to come to terms that such a place could really exist.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tIGL7N1kM
"This plane is filled with different creatures. Creatures talked about only in legend." Tora smirked as he looked at Julie's face, which seemed so shocked with disbelief, that she could hardly even breath. "Don't be shocked just yet." Tora laughed. "The Spiritual plane is vast, but it's hardly the only plane out their." Tora continued. "Half bloods are born when creatures belonging to these extra-dimensional planes, come to the mortal plane and have children with regular people." He explained. "I mean, it's pretty revolting and pathetic if you really think about it," Tora remarked with a grimace.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig31eQVONz
"What do you mean?" Julie inquired, her brow furrowing in confusion.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7R4mnbKjT
Tora shook his head, his features twisting with disgust. "I mean, these depraved Inhumane creatures descend upon our humble planet solely for their base desires, with no regard for anything else," he explained, his tone laced with disdain. "It's truly abhorrent."491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOj7t92eC4
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC1zVhVI0Q
As Tora finished talking, he once again stood up from the bench and began to walk down the path that led out of the park.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vj4Hs6a5Z
"Wait!" Julie yelled running after Tora, and soon walking side by side him. "So are you really saying that I'm one of these Half Bloods?"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonVddnjdA1
"Yep." Tora responded without care as he continued walking.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe09KtVw31
"How do you know." Julie asked. "I mean last time I checked I look human."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Eh1K3H9xz
Tora looked at Julie and smirked. "Yes indeed you do, to bad it doesn't matter what you look like." Tora points to his nose. "It's the smell."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZinkpNsWf
"My smell?" Julie wanted to smell herself, but refrained from doing so, not wanting to look weird to this white haired stranger with superpowers.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgz4QIvHmh
"Half Bloods subconsciously produce an aura of power around themselves. This aura can be big or small but either way it gives off an exotic smell that acts like a beacon for many beings." Tora said. "If you don't learn how to control it, it will become a problem later, because in the end, power always attracts."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlnh3jk1iq
["Well that would explain that."] Julie thought to herself, grinding her teeth in annoyance. "So how about you?"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtvcLMIzcf
"What about me?" Tora asked confused.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaIKZ2odLV
"Yea, your a half blood as well right?"
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBnPJ4bpUF
Tora stopped walking, his eyes stooped low to the ground. Julie stood next to him, looking into his eyes, eyes that seemed so conflicted.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk8R8XDbwa
"Yea, yea Im a half blood as well." Tora smirked.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5kOnoL7QY
Julie could tell that this whole thing was a touchy subject to Tora. She remembered how the creature possessing Trevor's body was talking about his father, she remembered how Toras demeanor had done a one eighty just from the mere mention of his father.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJtBtt5I7O
["Master of the blue flame."] "She thought to herself as she watched Tora continue his walk.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxPOB3Y2iM
"What's the next step?" Julie asked following close behind. "What should we do next."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGtnNbR5ld
Tora looked relaxed, as if he was just enjoying the nightly walk. "Well." He said putting both his hands behind his head. "We have one stop to make first."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV2p5ylUAU
"Huh."
***
It sat in a dark and damp ally way, this creature who had taken the body of a young teenage boy. It's clothes where ripped to shreds, it's sharp dagger like nails where plunged deeply into the creatures head. Blood that shined like crimson crystal fell from its scalp and its needle like teeth pushed against each other.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgPliAx7XB
"I'm so h-hungry." It said in pain. "Flesh, F-flesh, I need flesh."
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykBptVx7Xq
The creature with its long nails began to tear away at its own flesh, leaving deep scars etched on its cheeks.
491Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOu4CajOJw
"Man flesh, tasty fingers, moist liver, juicy heart." The creature chuckled to itself. "Foolish half bloods, hateful half breeds. I'll kill them." It swore as it stood up to its full height. "Then I'll eat them whole."
