(Alright. I'll post now, and it'll continue tomorrow)

''What am I doing here?....I live here.'' Silver chortled, rolling her eyes. ''I was enjoying a peaceful nap until it was disturbed by you two.'' She remarked with a glare. She loved her naps. Too bad they didn't get to last long though. ''So what's your excuses?'' She added, narrowing her eyes slightly.

"I like looking at the little ones, that's all really," Tiberius said. "I usually come out here to admire those creatures. I do run the risk of running into bandits, but... So far bandits haven't actually been able to threaten me. They're usually a bunch of idiots too."

(Long day at work so I will do a proper reply after Im done. Sorry for the inconvienance this causes.)

'I just been explorin' these parts for a bit. Its a nice place - calming, refreshing. Didn' mean to disturb ya.' She shrugged, eyes still guarded.

''I don't see many visitors here often. They just...Kinda think this tree is boring.'' Silver remarked, looking around. ''Bandits, huh....'' She added, scratching her chin. ''I haven't seen any of them around here, but some might be hiding at any rate. Most who explore these woods wind up lost and finding me. I'm quite a strange creature to you two, I know.'' She then spoke as she hopped off the trunk of the tree and landed in front of them. Her two fox tails moved idly, and a pair of small gold wings unfurled from her back. Her toes and fingers ended in sharp similar colored sharp claw-like points. She wore a dress, though it's torn bottom showed her toes. ''Perhaps you two are lost?'' She questioned, crossing her arms.

"I'm not lost, I come here all the time," Tiberius said. "I'll admit bandits aren't terribly common, but some do come here. I've not had much problem dealing with them yet though." You couldn't help but notice that Tiberius didn't seem like a very intimidating creature. He didn't even have a weapon on him.

'I ain't lost neither - just wanderin' around..' Ax walked over to a nearby tree and climbed up the branches with ease, sitting on one letting her legs dangle over the side.

(home for lunch)

''So you both are not lost, huh...'' She remarked, scratching her chin. ''This tree is very dangerous. It might look safe but it's cursed. See how the highest branches are covered in darkness?'' She asked them both, pointing to the highest branches of the tree where sunlight couldn't pass through. The branches that were visible were curled everywhere, but disappeared into the dark purple mist that covered the area up there. ''I've lived here for several years and that mist was always here. It's so dark not even sunlight can pass through.'' Silver chuckled, a crystal fang glinting. ''You might want to be careful if your on it. You never know what terror is waiting.''

"I don't fear whatever could be up there," Tiberius said. "Then again, there's not much I do fear, really. I... don't like talking about it further until I actually have a reason to though. People get scared whenever they see the Emperor, as a lot of people call him."

'I've danced with demons and angels - and any other sort of creature you could think of.' Ax shrugged and swung from a lower branch onto another tree, standing on it and leaning against the trunk. 'Ain't nothing I'd run from, not a thing.'

''I personally know of a demon and angel. He's not commonly seen, but he's not hard to miss.'' Silver replied, snirking. ''He lives here with me.'' She added. ''I'm not scared of much. It's fun seeing what others fear sometimes.'' She remarked, chuckling darkly. She gets back on the branch with a well timed bound up the trunk and a leap to the crooked branch she had been on earlier. Her gold wings were visible now, a loose feather falling to the ground. She then faced them both from the branch.

''After all, fear is something you can't run from. It always knows where you are. Always.'' Silver then said, looking at Tiberius and Ax. ''Don't worry Tiberius, I won't bother you with too many questions.'' Then, after a pause. ''So if one of you have seen demons and angels...Ever seen a creature that's both?'' She asked with a smile.

"Still, I'd rather introduce you to "the Emperor" when I feel the time is right," Tiberius said. Eventually she looked up at the tree and tilted his head. "No, I've never met someone who is both."

Ax grinned at Tiberius. 'Well, now you have.' She jumped off the tree and landed in a bow, like one would do after performing in front of an audience. 'Ax Winter, half demon, half angel.' She spun around and looked to Silver. 'Far as I know, I'm the only one there's ever been. If you know another, I'd be happy to meet 'em.'

As if on cue a darkened mass of fur descends from the dark mist atop the tree. Silver sidesteps on the branch as the fur unfurls to reveal a dragon that hardly made the branch move at all. With large bat wings folded on their back, and fur that was dark as night. Blue runes gleamed from their feet and hands as they stood beside Silver, easily towering over her small height. They looked at Ax and Tiberius, their blue eyes lacking an iris.

Silver motions to the dragon, with a crooked mischievous grin. ''This is my brother. He doesn't talk very much, but me and him are both demon angels. Though I'm more angel. He's more...Err..Demon.'' She remarked, her brother remaining eerily silent. His tail was more canine then dragon, and curled around the branch. Black wisps trailed off his claws as he looked at the two on the ground.

He then jumped down, getting on all fours and narrowing his eyes slightly. Silver watched him as he sternly looked at Tiberius and Ax in silence with his two v-shaped fuzzes on his head perked up. He wasn't too big when on all fours, but strangely skinny despite his fur.

"Well, I aint an angel or a demon," Tiberius said. "Though I bet I could take one if I needed to. If you're wondering who "the emperor" is, the emperor is my alter ego. I... wouldn't so much say he's scary, but he is very ugly, that's why I tend to use this form when I'm not fighting."

Ax sighed and leaned against a tree trunk. 'Eh, I only really fight angels and demons, really. Kinda dislike 'em. Unless someone attacks me first, I'm pretty chill.' She sized the dragon up and narrowed her eyes, meeting his silently.

The dragon remained staring at Ax sternly before snorting and breaking the gaze. He folded his large wings and his fur settled down until it wasn't fuzzed up like a cats. He didn't speak still, but he did glance at his sister prompting her to speak up for him.

''Me and him don't really fight anyone. My brother, Darkness, mostly just guards me and attacks anyone who tries to harm me. We know our type is a rare sight, since most like us don't live very long.'' Silver remarked as Darkness stood in a defensive stance. ''You might want to assure him your not going to hurt me. He thinks I called him over because I was in danger. Try to see if you can pet his nose. He won't bite or anything.'' She added with a chuckle as Darkness remains staring at the two again. Fur still flattened, but his two v-shaped fluffs were raised.

'I ain't gonna hurt your sister.' Ax said, nodding to Silver. 'Um, pet his nose? I don't wanna get killed.' She inched closer regardless, slowly, holding out her hand.
