//You're fine.//
[Jaydn:]
Who did this guy think he was? He just shows up out of nowhere and starts throwing a bunch of stuff at me I don't even know about, then criticizes my dancing?! I clenched my fists and glared at him. I'd done a calling before, and I could do it again. I lashed out, striking Azen. "Don't you dare tell me I can't do something I've already done," I said, adding silently, 'and I'll do it again. Even if it kills me.'
There's a time for compromise; it's called "later". JAYDN HAS A HOOD! Meet Izzy.
My magic swirled in a pure blind rage. My hood flared wide as I assailed him with both and fang. White scales appeared over several patches of my skin and I turned my eyes on full fire. I felt my fangs graze his scarred arm, right on the bicep, as I held his wrists tightly in both my hands. "Don't....EVER...touch me again." I said with a snarl that I expected most falcons to run from. I emphasized my words by sending magic as I said each one. Not enough to really hurt him, but enough to make my point clear.
I kept the snarl up, every now and then changing to a threatening hiss. "If you'd rather dance this dance then fine" I said through my teeth. "I could make you so miserable; show you things that will have you begging for Ecl" I knew I might regret this later, but at the moment, I meant every single venom-tipped word.
Some say the world will end in Fire Some say in Ice My World? It's already ended. But that doesn't stop me. What about you? And your world? Take care of it. And don't let go because it's easy Ecl is not worth it For Mehay is the center of all and all is the center of nothing

[Jaydn:] I gritted my teeth to keep from crying out as Azen's fangs cut into my arm. I tried to wrench my wrists free of my grasp, but he was stronger than I was. I assumed he was sending magic into me again, because the shock-like feeling came back, only stronger than it had been before. Suddenly my scar started burning, as if it were reacting to his magic. I bit down onto my tongue to keep myself from screaming in pain. It felt like my arm was on fire.
"Let go of me," I said after he had finished speaking, hoping that my voice sounded even. If I was thinking of the right legend, Ecl was definitly something I didn't want to experiance. The look in his eyes scared me more than his words; what had I been thinking, hitting him like that? Was I suicidal ?! I regretted the decision, but there was no way I was going to apologize. He insulted me first; I'd apologize after he did. (Which probably isn't going to happen.)

I let go of him stiffly, considering pushing him to the ground but deciding against it at the last second. THe nerve of this kid, honestly. "Now you understand how serious this magic stuff really is." My voice was still tight, and I had to work to keep myself calm.
I slowly willed myself to relax and slowly willed myself and the magic to relax. A lot of patches of scales disappeared, and my fangs retracted, but my hood refused to go back down. I realized that it probably wasn't good to last out at hm like that, not with that kind of magic. I noticed magic hovering around his arm and I knew that was more than likely causing him considerable pain. As sort of an apology, I sent a wave of Keisha's magic to him, sealing the spot where my fangs had grazed the skin.
I couldn't meet his eyes. I could've very easily killed Jaydn, simply by accident. "....I'm sorry," I said after a while. "It's just...the last person to strike me like that was a falcon." And that falcon had lost a wing for its impudence. I would have taken its life, but I had been bound at the time.
My eyes narrowed. This was why I should never leave the island. I was a dangerous creature. Not a viper, not a cobra, but a creature. I even attacked my own kind, well, half of it anyway. "Maybe the falcons were right to lock me away..." I said almost inaudiably.

As soon as Azen released me, my arm didn't hurt as much. I took a step back from him, incase he decided he was going to grab me again. I felt the cut on my arm close, but I didn't take my eyes off of Azen.
"I shouldn't have hit you," I said after he had apologized. "I wasn't thinking. It was stupid. I'm sorry." I glanced away from him, not sure if he was going to laugh at me or actually take me seriously. He mumbled something else, but I didn't catch it.

"You were frustrated, it wasn't your fault." I was still a little too melancholy to try to carry on a natural conversation. I had half a mind to just say 'see ya' and walk out, just to keep Jaydn safer.
As soon as I opened my mouth to say the words, I heard an all too familiar voice in my head. "Azen, Azen......now didn't I teach you better than to walk away from your past?"
My breath caught. It was Keisha! When I demonstrated for Jaydn earlier I must've added magic to it and she had seen it. I wondered if Jaydn could hear her.

I opened my mouth to tell him my being mad wasn't really a good excuse, but he opened his mouth at the same time. I closed my mouth and waited for him to speak, but he didn't. Instead, I heard someone else's voice; someone I didn't know. I looked around, but I couldn't see anyone. "Who was that?" I asked, turned back to Azen.

[Azen] //Keisha's text looks like this (Cause I'm too lazy to add a tag)//
"Shh....focus, and don't talk. You'll make it too difficult to hear her" I said in the lowest voice that he could still hear me in. Tentatively I gave out more magic, wondering if Keisha would apparate in front of us or stay as only a voice.
"Oh? My little snake, you really have no idea who I am? That's rather disheartening." I heard Keisha giggle, and couldn't hold back a smile of my own. Keisha had her moments where she acted like the queen she used to be, but she was always a serpent. "I don't believe I've seen him before though, Azen. Is he a newcomer to your little island?"
"No," I said aloud, just in case the spirit connection was poor. "I'm afraid there's a few complications right now." I really wasn't used to speaking so formally to Keisha, but the situation seemed to call for it.

I nodded slowly, still not sure who was speaking. When the voice was surprised I didn't know who she was, I gave Azen a quizical look. This was really weird. Azen seemed to know who was speaking, but I hadn't the slightest idea. When she mentioned the island Azen had said he was from, I guessed that she was from there or something.
I opened my mouth to ask who the speaker was, but I decided I'd just stay quiet [so Azen didn't attack me again].

"You don't have to be silent little snake," Keisha said again. THere must not have been enough power in the room (or maybe Keisha just didn't want to be seen for what ever reason. She has a lot of weird moments). "You are free to speak"."
"Ah, Keisha, I would stop with the 'little snake' thing..." It may have sounded like a warning, but I was really just chiding him. "Don't worry Jaydn, she even calls ME little snake."
"I used to, yes. Back when you were hardly as long as my arm. So, Jaydn, just who are you?"
//You can talk as Keisha too if you want//

My eyes widened as Azen spoke. Kiesha was the one that was talking?! I thought she was dead...well, obviously she wasn't. Her question of who I was caught me off-guard. I had no idea who I really was; I didn't even know where I was from.
I looked away from Azen as I answered Kiesha. "I don't know."

Well now, that seems to be happening to a great many of my kin. I'm sorry young one." I felt movement in the air of magic in the room, and I realized Keisha had 'turned' her attention back to me. "You mentioned complications, Azen. Just what happened? THis surely doesn't feel like your island."
"Actually, I think you have Jaydn to thank for that. I'm not sure, but I believe that he spun a calling at the same time I was dancing and it brought me here." I didn't want Jaydn to get a big head over this, but I still felt like I owed him for hurting him.
"Really?" Kiesha 'said' interestedly. I was beginning to see a small black cloud of magic where she resided, and before I could stop her, the indescresant cloud had whisked over to Jaydn, inspecting him as I had done as a snake.

Young one? Ooookay...
A cloud of magic similar to Azen's appeared, and I assumed that was Kiesha, at least in part. As the cloud of magic came near me, I backed up, nearly falling off the edge of the dais. "Uhm...hi," I said, not sure how to greet the cloud.

I held back laugh, but barely: a chortle still came out. "Oh Azen, don't make fun of the boy. He's not too much unlike you were." The cloud began circling around Jaydn, and I wondered if he was uncomfortable. I hoped not, for this was the woman that was responsible for his existence (most likely). Most snakes on the island were quite comfortable around her, when she showed herself.
"Don't mind him Jaydn. He may seem confident and sure now, but once upon a time, probably way back in Egypt, he wasn't so much. I remember once he was practicing magic and he blew the top off an obielisk and it scared him half to death. He wouldn't come back out of the nest for a week"
My face flushed deep red "KIESHA!"

Alright, Kiesha was starting to freak me out. Seriously, she was a cloud of floating magic. If that's not weird, I have no idea what is. When Kiesha spoke again, I bit onto my tongue to keep from laughing. "Nice job," I muttered, not sure if Azen heard me or not. Kiesha probably did, though, considering she was right there.
"Uhm...is there a certain reason that you responded to Azen's calling? I mean, he said he didn't know who he called. How's that work?"
