陰 Dragon ☯ Shaman 陽
Can you see through the mist !?
The storm continued to grow stronger. The small boats out to sea were brought inland and tethered down to the more solid posts that carried the homes just off the ground to protect the wooden homes from high tide. The waters kept driving deeper and deeper inland as the winds picked up in speed. The dragon looked to Terra as his spoke, his hand moving to rest on his hip as he focused his attentions on Terra. He did not seem too bothered as the storm came, but his eyes kept darting toward the coastline. As the water crept nearer. He was not keen on getting wet again, or drowning. Just his luck landing in a world with such a close relationship with water. Terra's words seemed to strike a cord as his focus turned, once again, to the man.
This man was very earnest in his ways. Terra had supplied him with an answer without thinking twice on it. Clearly explaining he was without ulterior motives. The dragon, who had long lost his trust in humans, had believed Terra's words. It was troubling, and a bit embarrassing, but Terra reminded him of himself when he was young and still believed in the human condition to act righteously. The dragon raised his large hand and brushed the back of his head, his red locks dusting out the dried sands that had settled at the base of the follicles. His amber eyes drifted down before they crawled along the men who continued to hurry against the growing water table.
He has seen very few humans willing to help others for the sake of helping them, but even of Terra's intentions were without expectations, why did he seem ignorant to the dragon? Was it that nature that he only saw in his brother? It was a sort of fearlessness that came with trust. Fai was always a fearful sort in the sense he was unwilling to try things, worried they would meet failure before their birth. Though he had an unnerving trust in humans in his youth, he was riddled with fears that his brother lacked. Come the betrayal of both the humans they trusted and that faith that humans could act for the sake of another, was lost. It was especially so when it had brought the death of their mother.
"But... what if they are merely using you?" It was what irked him most of this situation. "Hu--humorous to think another can be trusted not to betray the heart of another." He caught himself before he spoke words that separated him from a human nature.
As far as any knew the giant was a man, albeit a cranky, unhelpful fellow. The Titan just could not fathom it. The prospect that a human did without want was ridiculous enough, but accepting the help of another without sloven abuse was preposterous. He shook his head. Terra confused him and turned his understanding of the human condition back several steps on the board. This game was supposed to be predictable.
"What if all you do is in vain? Your kindness would be spat upon!" Fai did not seem to be asserting that Terra was wrong in his ways.
The very opposite stood. His tone held great concern that the man played a fool's game. Perhaps the dragon even sought conflict and wanted the man to question his actions before proceeding. Fai believed Terra was good, but he did not believe that Terra could predict his one, easily forgotten act, would be remembered by someone and in turn: paid forward by having that man act selflessly. Was it not inherent, human nature to be out for the self?
As these ponderings chewed away at the beast a flash of lightning tore across the sky, lighting up the skies as if the day had returned. Shouts could be heard as some took it as sign the storm was now upon their doorsteps. If those outside did not retreat soon, they would be several more feet beneath the sea's level. The howling winds grew worse and the ocean churned, spitting up the smaller boats and nearly tipping over the larger vessels.
