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.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjjAZetu2V
"Please tell me..." she said her voice trembling ever so slightly. "What is a half blood?"
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ30gaIzX27
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.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsJXv9Vm1l
"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.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqgIF8dH2Q
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.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCZ2r5uKBD
"A half breed or Half Blood is a person with human blood as well as another species blood flowing through their veins."
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHUEEgU9ch
"Another species?" Julie asked. "As in more than one."
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN03wuPcTK
"Ahhhh!" Tora groaned to himself. "I hate having these conversations. Their always so complicated."
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkUM2skbe9
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.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8OaTe7p8o
"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.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ0C6pmIIQ
Julie nodded her head. "Yea."
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lP2XLCBS0
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."
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYf40WI9oH
"The spiritual Plane?" Julie asked still trying to come to terms that such a place could really exist.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2GBPYxeCa
"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.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8oz43XBim
"What do you mean?" Julie inquired, her brow furrowing in confusion.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvTiLNoGwE
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."286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU1R7hlrPP
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQndPvBwBS
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.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R5ijaAsWj
"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?"
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiJMhCA6Xw
"Yep." Tora responded without care as he continued walking.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKexVx4Xa93
"How do you know." Julie asked. "I mean last time I checked I look human."
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Pcut3vvl
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."
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcMkb14XV8
"My smell?" Julie wanted to smell herself, but refrained from doing so, not wanting to look weird to this white haired stranger with superpowers.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKegjM8J7Z
"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."
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOCJ9nkV8G
["Well that would explain that."] Julie thought to herself, grinding her teeth in annoyance. "So how about you?"
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILhaCja9op
"What about me?" Tora asked confused.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQthlYxlXv
"Yea, your a half blood as well right?"
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7Wt7vtgus
Tora stopped walking, his eyes stooped low to the ground. Julie stood next to him, looking into his eyes, eyes that seemed so conflicted.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeHawtnvgX
"Yea, yea Im a half blood as well." Tora smirked.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ99VedTSjc
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.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JUJx2MYKG
["Master of the blue flame."] "She thought to herself as she watched Tora continue his walk.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9TG2t23Z2
"What's the next step?" Julie asked following close behind. "What should we do next."
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh36PijpUW
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."
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ6nP3tXUw
"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.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNPhT38HQh
"I'm so h-hungry." It said in pain. "Flesh, F-flesh, I need flesh."
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdiSeKLaGj
The creature with its long nails began to tear away at its own flesh, leaving deep scars etched on its cheeks.
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc2h4Bf38C
"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."
