(Just want to say.. I want some lengthy posters here.. At least 2 paragraphs.. That's all I need. XD sorry) -------------- From the name.. This place sounded like the most loving place anyone could go to. A retreat from normal life.. Which is probably why it was becoming so popular. Sure.. They're were cases of heartless.. Every place had that problem, but Radiant Gardens even had a mechanism that was designed to help keep the heartless problem under control. It really was a great place. So literally.. By the name, it was Radiant both ways. Unfortunately.. For one corner of the town.. It wasn't so 'Radiant' The sounds of sorrow were very obvious in a dark corner of the once happy town. Oh the town? Of course it was happy.. But to a very lonely individual.. It was basically like hell.. Or something close to what his mind could imagine. Being alone right now was the worst thing he could feel. Lost.. In a town he had now idea how he ended up in. And to make things worse.. His true form wasn't even how it used to be. So many changes had happened in the course of four years.. He didn't remember much because of his age. For now.. This dark corner of the town was his home. "Wh...What did I do.... To deserve this?..." A few tears running down the small boy known as Reio Coniere. He sat curled up in a little barrier in a dark corner. He hated his new appearance. It wasn't so bad back at his own planet.. Everyone had become like him, but now, with new people around he was the only one like this. He hated to be different, why was he set free and not everyone else? It wasn't fair! This little sentence was his only escape from the feelings. His mind couldn't come up with anything logical, he couldn't even see past the lies he was telling himself. Fortunately.. Some person that walked by the alley way had dropped a hat, which was now on top of the small boys head. Though.. The comfortableness that was coming from his lower back hurt so much.. He couldn't help it any longer. With a sigh of relief.. His long bushy tail had finally been taken out from being curled up in his pants. No one would see him from inside the alley way.. It was far to dark. Thinking in his feeble mind, he could just stay here forever, not once going over his necessities, like eating or water.. Or even a good place to sleep. In a few days his small body would give out... He would cease to exist. Though for now.. He didn't take that into consideration. Though.. He was kind of getting hungry. As a child.. He was starting to completely forget his feeling before because of an unexpected little rumbling. But this was enough for him to leave his hiding spot and go search for some food. With a few grunts of displeasure, Reio put his tail back in his pants and continued on with a few sniffs and tears here and there. Walking down the street, he smelt the sweet smell of food. Sniffing the air to search for it, the place was now obvious to him, a little shack that sold sandwiches. Resisting the urge to get down on fours.. He whimpered over to the counter and looked at the man. "I...I'm hungry.. Sandwich please?" The man looked down at the boy with a curious look. "Where's your parents?" Reio was burdened with his feelings before, but kept his tears from forming to much. "I-... Th--They're at home.. But I forgot my m-munny.. Please.. I'm hungry..." The man taking pity on the small kid, got him a little cheese sandwich. "Tell your parents to feed ya!" The man not realizing what he was saying, Reio walked off with remorse.. But still happy he had his sandwich with him. Sitting down in the middle of the road.. He immediately indulged himself in the only edible food he'd have in a long time. While he was eating, he couldn't help but begin to cry, but didn't stop scarfing down the sandwich.

Reio sniffed a bit at distaste once his sandwich had been completely eaten. It was the worst tasting food he had ever eaten, though.. He'd eat it again if he could. Hunger had accompanied him for so long now that he just wanted to get rid of it, any way possible. The sandwich only satisfied him for a few moments, but he immediately became hungry again. He grunted a bit at the pain coming from his back.. And the pain that continued to ache on his stomach. He wanted to cry very much at this point, but wasn't going to. He'd have to be strong. How was he ever going to learn such a thing if he wasn't going to practice it?
Hearing a voice, Reio sniffed the air and realized there was a person kneeling right next to him. He was very frightened an jumped up quickly, landing on all fours as a dog would if he were threatened. "That can't possibly be enough," The strange man had said. Under his hat, Reio's ears had perked up, moving the assortment on his head just a tad. "W...Who ... Who are you?..." Reio was on the verge of crying again, he was completely scared at the strange person that had come up. Slowly but surely, he began to stand on his two legs again.
He still felt scared of the person, but like an animal, his curiosity grew. He walked just two small steps towards the person, looking at him with intense eyes. Any sudden movements would make Reio jump and run away like a squirrel frightened by something larger then it. He thought of running at this moment, but was wondering if maybe this man would help him.

Reio was frightened at the man now. His look and the way the shadows positioned on his face from his hat made Alastair seem very threatening. He hadn't much of a clue what to do at this point. The man didn't mean harm.. At least that's what Reio thought, but.. What if he was just... Reio continued to contemplate scenarios in his mind as he drew inches closer to Alastair. "Who I'am is none of your concern. Would you like something more... filling?" What did he mean by this? Was he going to give more food to Reio? And why wouldn't he show his identity? The man was very mysterious and malicious at the same time. He couldn't grasp what he felt from the man, but he didn't like it one bit.
Reio was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of another person, and quickly found refuge behind a near trashcan. This other man took Alastair's piercing expression away from Reio. For this, he was halfway thankful.. Though he was craving the sweet thought of a meal that the man might have been offering. The man knew his full name.. Alastair.. Reio didn't pay attention much, but realized some type of deal was being formed. He continued to shake behind the trash can, worried something might happen.
As the man through the large bag filled with munny, Reio jumped a bit, shaking the trash can a bit more violently. "What.. What is that man doing? W..Why did he just.. Just throw a bag?.." Reio began to sniff again, becoming teary eyed. He began to think about running back to his formal hiding spot. But.. But he wanted that meal so badly.. Hopefully... This Alastair had not forgotten about Reio.

This man... He was talking to viciously. Honestly.. Could he trust that he would give Reio food? Most of this was confusing at this point.. Why had two men come from no where? And.. And why did they suddenly begin talking in front of him. Wait.. These men couldn't be.. Reio's small boy mind conducted that these men were the ones that had put the curse on him some how. He couldn't grasp the fact he had escaped.. He always thought they might be coming after him. And because he couldn't get his facts straight, began to think they were trying to just take him away.
Reio heard the other man, Vance, begin to speak, and it seemed directed at him. Seeing another sack flying at him, Reio was shocked and moved out of the way as the bag made a thud on the ground. He sniffed a bit, and then picked the bag up. Munny.. He could buy himself some food.. He didn't much care for the rest.. Especially the last part.. What were whore's? "Uh.. Um.. E-.. Exc..." Reio shut himself up, flushed with embarrassment at this point.
The other man began to talk daggers at Vance.. Reio didn't want to get caught up in anything, so swiftly went back to the vender that had sold sandwiches. Knowing this was his chance to seem normal, Reio put the sack of munny on the counter. "H...Here.. I'ts.. From my p-parents.." Reio sheepishly stated. The clerk seemed happy, and handed Reio a big sub, a drink, and some chips. Seeing the meal, Reio already knew he probably would be satisified with this.
Scurrying away just a bit, Reio sat down near a table and began to eat like the animal near the masters foot. He didn't care at this point, he was far to hungry to try and go slowly. So with that, the way he began to eat became animalistic, doing whatever he could to cease the pain of hunger. (Dude.. What's a ten year old gonna do? xD)

(You guys are so mean, leaving me out of my thread!!! xD)
At the moment, Reio was to absorbed in his food to even notice what was going on between Vance and Alastair. But there was a feeling.. Half of him saying that he should just leave the food there and make a run for it. The other half said it would only put a strain on his body to keep trying to do so much, finishing the meal was the best thing to do. He listened to the meal part, of course. He couldn't think clear at all, he didn't even know if both thoughts were his own. It was the fact he could end part of his pain right here and now that seemed so sweet.
It was done! His hunger was still there, but not as agitating as before. Reio licked his lips now satisfied of a meal, just coming back to reality. The loud noises that were coming from the men had pierced through Reio's hat and into his sensitive ears, there now was a battle going on. Reio quickly got on his hands and feet, stunned and alert looking at both of them. A shiver of fear ran down Reio's spine. He swore if it was any stronger it would have broken his spinal cord. These men were very frightening, what was Reio to do?
Doing anything up close would result in death to Reio.. That was to obvious.. Besides, he didn't have the nerve to dare do anything at this point. Both of them were so powerful.. But.. One or both of them were bound to die, he... He couldn't be so weak as to watch people kill each other. Especially since Vance had given him food, it was so long since a kind deed had even been thought upon the child that he couldn't pass up the offer to help him. The previous one, Alastair.. Would be hard to attack as well, since he did offer Reio kindness.
The bats.. They were blinding and hurting Vance.. Fortunately.. Reio had a power that could end it quickly and not do a thing to Vance. Shaking, Reio reached for the bow he had tied around his body. Taking it out, he pointed it at the swarm of bats. No quiver.. It seemed utterly useless. Slowly pulling his hand up to the bow, he pulled the string back, still, nothing had happened. Reio swallowed very hard, trying to fight back the fear that was continually making him quiver. He had to be strong!
A light enveloped Reio's hand and the string that connected the bow together. With a deep breath, He readied his attack. "M..Multi-Shot!" Instantaneously hundreds of light beams came forth from his bow, striking every bat with the utmost precision. The after effects of the light left Reio's hand burned and steaming. He lowered his hand with the bow, and began to back up, his tail now piercing through his pants as his eyes watered. He feared for what might happen, and half heartedly wished he could go back in time.

(Just trying a new font to see what will happen. xD)
It's just like it has always been. Was there no one in the world he could trust? Reio hesitatingly began to tie his bow back around his body. The two men, what exactly were they interested in? One.. One of them Reio could already see. He was searching for human blood.. For the thirst of it, it seemed great in the man. He may have been right.. Or he may have been wrong, but he kept with his accusation. The man.. no.. The vampire was beginning to already creep into Reio's skin as he threated both him and Vance with demise. He had even by passed the before statement that Alastair had said for he was to worried about the fate of him and the other man. He stepped back once more, obvious his being shrouded in fear. He really didn't know who to listen to, especially since it was already difficult for him to refuse a command.
He sat down, his tail now visible and wrapping itself around the cold and lost boy. "I-...I..... Ple...." He couldn't get anything to come out of his throat. He was to petrified, and all he wanted to do was run away, but for some strange reason he kept himself from running. Was it because he wanted to prove he wasn't weak? .. Yes... He felt like his parents were watching him right now, seeing if he was going to be brave for his whole clan. Tears began to fall from his face, pain aching all over him with just fighting the fear alone. All he could do now that would show his bravery was to talk to them. At least answer to what they said, even if he had to make himself choke just to get the words out.
Clearing his throat, he took a very deep breath, and grabbed his hands to try and make himself stop shaking. "P..Please listen.." Reio looked up, his eye brows pointing completely far up, his teeth bitting so hard into his lip, blood was starting to rise to the surface of his mouth. "I... I can't come with.. with you. I ... I have a ... A job to do..." Wiping away a few tears, he turned to the man that intimidated him the most. "A... And.. I.. I'm sorry. I... I just... I just couldn't be weak... I... I-I I was .... Just trying.. To break a fight..." Immediately bowing his head, his obedience side took over. Just like what he was forced to learn when he was held against his will. When you have done something to disrespect a person.. Or mentally or physically hurt them, you would bow your head until commanded to raise it. And you keep your head lowered now matter what happens. You only raise it once commanded. The words rang through his head, memories of that place coming back to his head. It was like living it over again. Was the outside world really like this? Regardless, he kept his head down, waiting for them to leave.. Or whatever might happen. It seemed he was taking it bravely.. But under his hair, in the shadows of his own grief, he was breaking down to nothing.
(-shrugs- Everyone else was doing it, so I wanted to as well. xD Though.. I think I need to post longer before I shrink it.)

Reio heard the stinging words of Vance. What type of person was he? Is that how he thanks someone for saving his life? Reio.. So self absorbed in what people would call him, didn't feel as offended by this one as usual. Maybe because he believed it, or was it just empty words. The man apparently knew Reio's lust for power, and only wanted to make him mad.. If that was the cause.. He made him more frightened and afraid.. More down on himself then before. He had confidence, but it was barely there. He always relied on his family, or parents to take him through the challenges in life. Selfishly still, he did the same thing when they were imprisoned. Maybe this was the punishment he was getting for trying so hard too not want to feel terrible, that he couldn't care less if anyone else had felt it, as long as it wasn't him. If that was the reason why he was now being punished so harshly by a person he didn't know, then so be it. He deserved it.
He winced at the sound of the gun going off. Surely it was aimed at him, was time slowed down for him to see his life before? What a cruel way to go then, it was worse then death.. And it followed behind to closely. He closed his eyes, expecting the worst.. But.. He did not fall over dead, nor did he feel any pain other then what he felt before. No bleeding.. The man had not shot him. Then, what did he shoot at? Curious as Reio was, he dared not try and peek, the custom of this practice was stilled in his mind. If he did not shoot at Reio, then he had a chance to live, and he wouldn't screw it up by breaking a rule. Though, he couldn't get out of the small cage he was not, not being able to realize that Alastair hadn't a clue of his customs. The only reason Reio might think he did, was because of his little theory that both of them had come from the place he was locked away in.
Hearing the man's voice, he readied himself for more scorn, more treatment that he was used to. Beginning to lock himself in the shell again, he wouldn't look up, he wouldn't listen to what he had to say. Knowing the two men were alike, Alastair would most likely be disguised by Reio's weakness. However, the words were softer then before, they were not threatening, and.. Did his ears deceive him? He was told to raise his head... Reio didn't believe this at first. Slowly, though, he began raising his head, until his eyes had meet the vampire in front of him, fear in every corner. "I..." He wanted to explain.. Unfortunately was this talking back? Hopefully not, the need Reio had to make things clear was unshakable. "Raising my head.. W..Where I come from.. W-..Would have resulted in death anyway..." He said sheepishly, his eyes drifting lower till he stared at the ground. He couldn't do it anymore.. Making eye contact was almost like stabbing daggers through his eyes, it pained him so much. He couldn't do it.
The man began to speak again, informing him of another thing he did unwisely. This one, however, Reio agreed on. If this vampire was very dangerous, and he would have come after Reio without reason, what would he have done? Run away just like he always did? It would have been much of a disgrace to his clan then the way it had ended now. "You are... C-Correct, sir.." Reio stated, his eyes locked on the ground below him. His thoughts were pure, but misguided at that time. Vance may have been right that his fear had undermined him, but it kept him going, knowing someday he would have to destroy it, along with this wretched curse that was bestowed upon him. Thinking again, Alastair had truthfully helped him, if he had not come, Vance would have never given him money to eat in the first place. He also wouldn't have given Reio a chance to try and be brave, though it didn't work out at heroically as it should have. He needed to thank Alastair, though he might not understand what for. Again, Reio wanted to explain, but this time was too choked up to even get a small sentence out, so this is what he accommodated for.
"Thank.... Thank you..."

"Well, fortunate for you this is not where you're from," These were the words of the vampire in front of him. He was correct at this too. Apparently Reio's theory was incorrect. He would not have said anything about it, and how stupid can you be? Reio should have known he would have at least been beaten if he were someone from the clan that had captured his. Alastair had also told him to quite stuttering. Now this was a much harder task for Reio. He knew too well that he needed to stop, he couldn't wish for anything more then to stop. He knew if he could, his first impression on people wouldn't be that of a weakling. Unfortunately, Reio's fear was very great, he couldn't help but begin to stutter and shake. It was like a calming for him, something that he could turn to, too somehow ease the fear he had. Nonetheless, Reio looked at Alastair, and gathered courage together. "I will... Try and stop s-stuttering..."
Reio became curious as the man let out a signal that he was thinking deeply. What exactly was he thinking about? Was it something he had on the agenda? Was he thinking about what he should eat? Or.. Was he thinking about what he should do with Reio? He became a bit worried at this thought, maybe he was going to kill Reio after all. No.. He would have just done that. Reio could already tell this man could be impulsive on his decisions.. Now he was being kind to him, but before he was threatening to kill Reio. And before that he was nice to him. He was kind of confused at the sudden likes and dislikes that Alastair had for Reio. He wouldn't think about it too much, though.
Hearing him again, Reio couldn't tell if the question was rhetorical or not. Not wanting to speak, Reio just shrugged, not really knowing what to say. He was lost and alone at this point. All he cared about now was getting revenge on the scums that had put misery on him and his family. He was going to get stronger and avenge them one day. Until that day came, he was left alone, at this point, wondering around. Reio looked back at Alastair, giving him a curious look, a look that was curious for power.

The sounds of these words were greater then any present Reio could receive. His mind was definitely only thinking about one thing at this time, maybe even he would forget about his parents if they were offered to him right now. His mind was shrouded in seeing himself across the land, drenched in power that others could only dream of having. This vampire was strong, and like a leech, Reio thought he would be good to drain training from. Through Alastair's mind the relationship might be mutualistic.. Reio could eventually come in handy once he became strong, of course, he was correct with this aspect... Reio's new found personality wouldn't have him do other wise. Unfortunately for Reio, until the curse was lifted was the only time where Reio could go back to his original characteristics. However, he would have to wait until that time came.
"Sir.. Would you really train me?" Reio asked, letting Alastair know he was very interested in the fact. There was no turning back now, he saw the future in front of him and he wanted it badly.
Ooc: Excuse the short post, I'm sorry gear.

Reio saw this glint of evil in the vampire's eyes. A glint that had come to Reio has familiar, but he couldn't grasp what he saw. It was something he knew very dear, something from the past. With the thought gone, it was Reio's father. Though he was naive about it, his clan were power hungry, and only wanted to destroy and conquer anything around them. Noble wasn't considered correct at all with there standards. If you fought them, you better hope that you came to win.. No prisoners.. No fair crap. His clan were warriors at the heart, probably where Reio got his power lust from to begin with. Unfortunately.. He wasn't aware of the doings.. Understanding wrong, and the power of darkness didn't come easy. To him, it was all just power, and this type was much stronger. Obviously, he wanted the stronger one, so a less then decent sense of justice proved useful to the more rugged, hateful types.
Not one to think much about whether his decision was right or wrong, he dismissed the the look in the vampires eyes as something Reio liked. It reminded him of power, which was good to train from. "Sir.. As long as I ... Become strong. I care not if it brings me to tears every night." Reio stated this firmly which was unlike himself. He wasn't quiet about this, maybe even a hint of excitement had escaped the expression leaving his lips. Still naive as a kid, however, he didn't realize that training also meant fighting against others, which for some reason he couldn't grasp the fact of taking a hero's heart. Under minded, he left these feelings alone.
