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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdIt1ecgMT
"Please tell me..." she said her voice trembling ever so slightly. "What is a half blood?"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYI8LiCmpi
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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAz7dW1hAS
"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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYuWd4SyK6
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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTGuNqubQM
"A half breed or Half Blood is a person with human blood as well as another species blood flowing through their veins."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmdOa5YzsU
"Another species?" Julie asked. "As in more than one."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXX6xTvrKS
"Ahhhh!" Tora groaned to himself. "I hate having these conversations. Their always so complicated."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5bERK88oi
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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3THji2X3WV
"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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxg4RMzDbC
Julie nodded her head. "Yea."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl03eKnBq0
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."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth20at0AqR
"The spiritual Plane?" Julie asked still trying to come to terms that such a place could really exist.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFPslps0ab
"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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH4Pf0HAlD
"What do you mean?" Julie inquired, her brow furrowing in confusion.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhujJcJ87OA
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."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVdZU2cmm0
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF0XZ05l2B
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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIEDoD68q9
"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?"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhXBoxkyjv
"Yep." Tora responded without care as he continued walking.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpMqxhlk4f
"How do you know." Julie asked. "I mean last time I checked I look human."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF2Fnq53t7
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."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniV4wjxRTL
"My smell?" Julie wanted to smell herself, but refrained from doing so, not wanting to look weird to this white haired stranger with superpowers.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9K9xFjnwR
"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."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQABNEoEUF
["Well that would explain that."] Julie thought to herself, grinding her teeth in annoyance. "So how about you?"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0HfhWaR0T
"What about me?" Tora asked confused.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtpiNxmnPX
"Yea, your a half blood as well right?"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFt7yYDvgU
Tora stopped walking, his eyes stooped low to the ground. Julie stood next to him, looking into his eyes, eyes that seemed so conflicted.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2NFHqv8X9
"Yea, yea Im a half blood as well." Tora smirked.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9JYxBaQNU
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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3XfsmBS6H
["Master of the blue flame."] "She thought to herself as she watched Tora continue his walk.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMPxph6dtW
"What's the next step?" Julie asked following close behind. "What should we do next."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6tRJ73aOT
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."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVAElwLaBi
"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.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwaowvUmPH
"I'm so h-hungry." It said in pain. "Flesh, F-flesh, I need flesh."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpekepcYfwb
The creature with its long nails began to tear away at its own flesh, leaving deep scars etched on its cheeks.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoMbjgSOzF
"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."
