@D'Sehun_Dreamhunter Her heart all but turned to stone in her chest as she heart him speak about returning to the real world and she remembered he was probably only there to help her. The chances of him coming into her dreams just to be with her were ridiculously low and yet she had still hoped for it. As if living as an alpha werehunter wasn't hard enough, she had gone and fallen for a man who was literally emotionally unavailable.

Before she could respond though the scene shifted to one like the one they had first met in and she brought them down into it with a gentle landing. "Thank you for riding AirKwon. We have arrived in paradise and the temperature is perfect. If you would please make sure all trays are in their upright and locked position before you disembark." she joked and knelt down so he could get off easier.

@BoA_DragonAlpha "You wake up." Sehun answered, although the gravity of his voice surprised him, or more specifically the way it made his chest tighten uncomfortably. Only he couldn't be sure. The emotions he felt were only borrowed, so they were just a fabricated copy of what BoA was feeling, weren't they? Sehun didn't know anymore, but what he did know was that he felt too reluctant to just leave the dream realm straight away.

Focusing his mind on creating a sandy beach similar to the one in which they'd first met, Sehun opened his eyes and smiled softly at the calming scenery before them; a direct contrast to the destructive volcano he'd created only moments earlier. "Unless you'd like to spend the 'afternoon' with me?" His lips twitch, something similar to that of a smile pulling up the corners gently. "I don't particularly want to leave just yet when there is so much to learn about you. I'd like to get to know you better."

@D'Sehun_Dreamhunter A sinking feeling settled just beneath her heart as he erased the erupting volcano and she knew that their time together was drawing to a close. Her wings spread wide as she began a long slow glide, not sure where to land for them of if she even needed to. He could just leave her dream as he willed and she could wake up but did he maybe want to say goodbye or even anything at all? Or was he just there to save her because it was his job? Boa guessed it didn't much matter either way because she wasn't going to have any real closure either way.

"So now what do we do?" She asked casually, hoping to avoid any type of emotional stress. Her gaze fixed on the seemingly endless void as she tried to calm her heart. It was hard for her to not even just look at him even though she already missed it. She really cared for him and had a bad desire to simply kiss him or touch him and have him want the same from her but she knew deep down it was unlikely.

@BoA_DragonAlpha Sehun stared back with the same intensity as she looked back at him, his eyes grazing over the rich black scales and dark, powerful gaze. He still couldn't fathom just how majestically beautiful she was in this form. Her very being rendered him to nothing more than an unimportant speck, only he felt that same overwhelming urge to protect her flaring up again in his chest.

"We should be fine." He whispered, turning back to see the darkening sky behind them and the still errupting volcano. Frowning a little he lifted his hand and, drew his hand over the miniature volcano in his line of vision, effectively erasing it from existence. "Much better..." He mumbled, brushing his hands together to rid it of the dark ash lingering on his palm before sighing softly. Now two problems had been taken care of. He only hoped there weren't any side affects or consequences to him interfering with her transformation.

@D'Sehun_Dreamhunter There was an odd sensation on her back as she felt the Dream Hunter's fingers moving along her scales. She tried her best not to giggle or twitch to much for fear of tossing him off of her back. No one had ever touched her like that before and she wasn't really sure what to make of it. Did he like her? Even in her big bulky dragon form did he still think she was beautiful enough to touch?

"I'm fine." she intoned softly and turned her large onyx head back to face him, giving him what she hoped was an encouraging look. "What about you? Are we in the clear do you think?" Mostly she just wanted to keep him talking, to keep him there in the dream with her. Once she woke up he would be cold to her again and she didn't want to face that reality at the moment.

@BoA_DragonAlpha Eventually the air cleared enough for Sehun to think clearly and take some much needed gulps of the fresh air; completely filling his lungs with the oxygen they craved. Turning back slightly to look at the destruction he had caused and created, Sehun felt a slight pang of guilt stab him in the chest. Had it been in any other circumstance he never would have been so reckless, never would have let his abilities spiral out of control until he was no longer able to foresee the future of the dream. Only this wasn't any other circumstance. Sehun had allowed his fabricated emotions to get the best of his judgement and he had ended up putting the both of them in danger. He hung his head and slowly traced the scales of her back, his pearly teeth sunken slightly into his plump lower lip. "Are you okay?"

@D'Sehun_Dreamhunter BoA heard his words and had thought the same thing but she wasn't entirely sure how to make such a feat happen. The heat and ash didn't bother her in the dragon form in the least but eventually getting his would start to take it's toll. More than that even was the fact that she was aware how the elements were affecting her companion. All she could do was fly as fast and as far as she could while still being able to dodge and stay somewhat steady for the man on her back.

Her large head had to keep craning over her back to see through the haze so she could know what was coming towards them. She couldn't very well avoid attacks from above and behind if she didn't know where they were coming from. Unfortunately it slowed her speed quite a bit so she wasn't making the time she wanted. *Better safe than sorry* she reminded herself as she continued to fly, soon getting enough distance between herself and the exploding world that the projectiles were little more than pebbles.

@BoA_DragonAlpha The air was thick with hot smoke that burned his nose, throat and lungs, making it hard for him to breath. He kept his arm covered over his eyes to protect them from the intense heat around him and coughed heavily into the sleeve of his free arm, trying to clear his airways enough for him to think properly and be able to adjust their environment if need be. "B-BoA." He gasped, trying to open his eyes enough for him to be able to physically see the danger they were entering into. The volcano was now spitting large chunks of flaming, smoking rocks - rocks he wasn't able to create a barrier to protect them both from. "We need to get out of range. I can't stop it."

@D'Sehun_Dreamhunter The light from the explosion was nearly blinding but she had no choice but to look to try and avoid the larger chunks of incoming debris. Hot stones fell upon them and she tried to avoid most of them with Sehun on her back, taking a few of the projectiles on her extremities. He wasn't anywhere near as close to fire resistant as she was and she knew he would have been burned if hit while she would only feel the impact. She flew fast and far away from the volcano, making slick aerial moves to keep them both safe. It was a good plan on his part but she wasn't entirely sure what to do next. Would she be able to wake up? Even if she could there was a small part of her that wanted to remain in the dream with him.

@BoA_DragonAlpha Taking a deep breath Sehun nodded and threw the sword, with as much force as he could muster, both physically and mentally before he watched it sail through the air as if slicing the deafening silence around them both. The middle of the mountain caved on impact, creating a small crater as the rocks sunk into it, almost as if it was swallowing itself before it exploded with a burst of hot yellow light, causing him to shield his eyes with his arm as small granite rocks began to rain down on them like thick, black hail stones. "Go! Go now!"

@D'Sehun_Dreamhunter BoA nodded her large scaled head and steadied herself to give him the most stable platform she could so launch the sword from. There was no really telling what she would be called upon to do once it exploded but she had to do everything she could to keep them alive. Even in this state she knew that death in here would mean death in the real world and she wasn't at all ready to die. "Ready when you are." she replied.

@BoA_DragonAlpha "Get ready..." He warned, speaking slowly before he opened his arms and lifted the sword up carefully, holding it out in front of him, yet away from BoA's scales. With a subtle blink the sword reignited with electricity and he raised it a little higher, watching as the yellow tones of the lightning-like energy changed to white and from white to hot blue. "As soon as I throw this you have to move. The mountain is most likely going to explode with the magma trapped inside it on impact." Sehun spoke calmly before changing his hold on the sword as though he were about to throw a javelin - and a wide bladed one at that. "Every fire needs a start, right?"

@D'Sehun_Dreamhunter As soon as he was mounted she took flight. Her wings extended and with one leap she was airborne, careful of the man on her back. She was amazed by how quickly and smoothly the terrain changed but tried not to focus on it, instead setting her mind to getting them out safely. Sehun was doing his part and she would have to do hers to keep them safe.

@BoA_DragonAlpha His lips curled up into a soft smile as she started to change, the act never ceasing to amaze him. To him BoA was beautiful in both forms which meant he felt even more compelled to protect her. Picking the sword back up from it's place by his feet, Sehun dragged it behind him and carefully mounted her strong back, resting the thick blade against his thighs. His eyes closed and the mountain terrain around them began to darken until it became dark enough to match BoA's scales and the smell of sulphur began to fill the air.

@D'Sehun_Dreamhunter It didn't take even a moment for her to step back and begin to change forms. Boa trusted the dreamhunter and she knew that whatever he had decided to do, it would be for the best. Her body began to shift, grow, and turn black with scales. She stretched her wings and tested them quickly before nodding, letting him know it was alright for him to climb onto her back. She only hoped there was enough back there for him to hold onto in case they needed to pull off some intense aerial acrobatics.

@BoA_DragonAlpha "You need to change. But only so that we can get away." He replied, looking around them both for a moment. "They've created tunnels within the mountain. I can get them easily if it becomes 'active' only that would put us in danger." Sehun sighed heavily, debating over whether the idea was a good one after all, but he had to try. If not BoA wouldn't be able to wake up and she would remain within the dream world and a comatose like state for as long as the skoti haunted her own. "We don't have to go through with this if you aren't comfortable with it. BoA it's entirely up to you."

@D'Sehun_Dreamhunter The fact that he cared for her in such a way made her feel special, touched even, but she didn't exactly have time to bask in it because technically she was still under attack. BoA nodded and turned her attention to trying to find the skoti that Sehun said was beneath them but she didn't see it. Maybe there was something she was missing.

"How do we get to them?" she asked and stepped closer, looking up into his impossibly handsome face. "Do you need me to change again or do you got this?"

@BoA_DragonAlpha "Only if it concerns you." He admitted, a soft almost sheepish smile pulling up the corner of his lips before he turned away. Sehun's own clothes shifted to a similar outfit only slightly darker in the colouring. With a small nod he agreed with her statement, and sought about locating the whereabouts of their attackers. His eyes closed and his hands curled into loose fists as he tried to concentrate, emptying his mind until there was nothing but thoughts of the skoti left running rampant. He took deep, slow breaths; steadying himself before he opened his eyes and turned to BoA, their whereabouts leaving a slight tingling sensation in his chest.

"They're beneath us."

@D'Sehun_Dreamhunter A short sound of surprise escaped from her as Sehun handed the clothes to her and she looked up at him, slightly bewildered. BoA had forgotten that he could do that and felt a little foolish at her own surprise. "Are you always so thoughtful?" she asked with a smile as she took the garments and got dressed up.

"I am not skilled at hunting skoti, this is your area of expertise." she answered and reached out to gently rub his arm. "You do your job as best as you can and I will support you however I can. We're a team, right?"

@BoA_DragonAlpha He turned away, his back facing her as his eyes scanned about the area surrounding their spot. It was the only good thing about being up so high. Still he could feel her embarrassment despite his eyes not being on her human form. Deciding he wouldn't allow her to continue parading around , he closed his eyes, picturing an outfit consisting of of tight-fitting one piece the same colour as the stones surrounding them, with a tougher exterior to add a little more protection to her more vulnerable state.

He looked down at the outfit now folded neatly in his hands before turning to hand them to her, keeping his eyes fixed on his feet. "I'm not sure... I don't know where they are." He admitted with a soft sigh, confusion pulling their brows together. "I don't know where they've gone."

@D'Sehun_Dreamhunter Fortunately Sehun adapted to the change in the dreamscape just as well as she did so she didn't have to worry too much about that. She carried him to the mountain range he created and set him down carefully before landing herself. BoA paused, not knowing if she should change to her human form or remain as she was. She could fight better as a dragon but it was easier for maneuverability as a human and much more discreet.

The dragonswan decided that being smaller would be better and began to shift back, covering herself as best as she could. was just part of being a were and she tried not to let it bother her, only she was in front of a man she truly liked. The slight blush crept into her cheeks as she stood, fully human, and looked around. "Now where to?" she asked.

@BoA_DragonAlpha Sehun moved back, his head tilted slightly as he wondered why the opposing daimons he'd missed seemed to be backing away when he stumbled. The ground beneath his feet gave way, his eyes widening in alarm when he felt a strong pull from behind. He seemed to be getting higher and higher away from the crumbling terrain around him when he realized that BoA had him tightly in her grasp. He held the two halves of the sword down and away from her body; quelling the electricity running throughout them as they became one so as not to harm or injure her in any way. Partly because he couldn't bear to cause her any further harm than the state he had found her in and partly because he didn't want to be dropped.

"Over there." He replied calmly, pointing towards the vast mountain range he had created despite being incredibly frustrated inside. For some reason Sehun wasn't able to undo the damage caused to the area they had fought in and knew straight away that it was to do with the daimons that had attack them. After all, everything he could do, they could do and there were a lot more of them in comparison. "There's an area wide and flat enough for you to land on safely."

@Kahi_Charonte "Thing?" He questioned the charonte playfully as he stepped inside again, carrying all the supplies they would need until the sun set again. "I think you mean 'y god of iness'. Yeah, I like that title."

Jaejoong laughed and began setting the bedding down, knowing that Minah would probably laugh at his statement while the female charonte would likely be confused. It didn't much matter though if they then responded in a snarky manner, anything was worth it to lighten the mood. He knew spirits were down from worrying about BoA and the very near daimons so it was best to set his healthy ego aside.

"Food is in that bag." he explained and pointed before settling down on one roll. "There are even things fit for a demon."

@Minah_DarkLieutenant It didn't make much sense to her why Seungri was behaving like he was. Then again, Kahi had never been in love. She had barely even spoken to anyone so she had no real frame of reference, only a vague inference that love made everyone stupid. If basically abandoning her akri was a price of love, she didn't want anything to do with it.

Still, the discussion had brought her and her akri closer so maybe it wasn't too bad. She didn't understand most of what was said but the tender embraces were enough that she thought her horns would glow from excitement. It felt like the best day of her whole life.

"I do have many things to learn." she admitted, mostly curious about the new world she and her master were going to be residing in. "That will have to wait though. My akri needs rest so I must find the Jaejoong thing!."

@Kahi_Charonte "We do need Jaejoong to come back so that I can sleep and yes there are times that I wish to fully grasp Seungri's mind as scary as that may be. However, I'm not trying to understand his mind fully now I'm just not sure if there's a way that I can help him in this situation. Maybe not directly but be able to do something to take his mind off of BoA for a little bit." Her eyes softened as she kissed her caronte's forehead.

"Seungri loves BoA. It's as simple as that. Whether he realizes the own depths of his emotions is something else entirely. There's also the issue with BoA already being in a relationship with someone else. Jaejoong either hasn't grasped the situation yet or perhaps he has and is just trying to make it seem like nothing because he thinks of Seungri as his child." She laid her head on he demon's being mindful of her horns.

"Tomorrow's a new day sweetling and things will certainly be different. You and I are going to take our time to sort things out. I'm sure you have many things to learn and questions to ask. I'm sure there is quite a bit that I can learn about you and from you." She gave Kahi a playful hug. "We'll get through this."

@Minah_DarkLieutenant "You want me to help you understand the Seungri?" she asked, looking for clarification. "I can't help you there. His head is somewhere I can't go. To the Kahi is looks like love but even then he should be trying to do what is best for his akri. I don't understand it."

There was a slight pout to her lips after Kahi spoke and she looked down. Not only had she just failed her own akri but she didn't understand love either. It was a somewhat sad realization for the demon and if her master hadn't been depending on her she would have shed a few tears over her loneliness. But it was not the time for that and she swallowed down her emotions, looking up at Minah. "We need the Jaejoong akri so you can sleep."

@Kahi_Charonte She wondered how Kahi's train of thought worked. She had yet to get used to Seungri's and she absently wondered if Kahi would be the same. "I'm sure they'll be back soon. They probably had to take care of some daimons along the way or something." Switching back to the question that she had been asked she pulled Kahi closer.

"Seungri was there when I was converted to a dark hunter. It was a very...emotional time for me. Every time that I have been in a situation where I'm not thinking correctly or I've needed my spirits lightened he and Jaejoong have always been there to keep me sane. Well he's gone a little insane and I really want to be there for him now but I'm not sure what I can really do for him. That's where you come in little one. I'm sure that on some level you can help me understand him so that I can help him through this."

@Sehun_Dreamhunter Three of the daimons in front of her managed to get out of her fire and were gathering themselves for an attack as Sehun made quick work of the wounded ones behind her. BoA heard his question but ignored it as the first one charged towards her. She grabbed him quickly around the waist with one of her claws and brutally popped his head off like a doll with the other. BoA discarded the lifeless body and turned towards the remaining to with a menacing fury boiling behind her eyes. Whichever it was, they did not want to be last to find out what slow cruel death she would deliver because it would surely not be pleasant.

That was when everything changed around them and the ground began to peel away. Without a second thought she unfurled her large black wings and gently picked up the dream-hunter in her claws, holding him securely. Using her powerful back legs in tandem with her wings she took pushed off of the earth which seemed to be crumbling into nothing.

'Where to go?' she asked and craned her head towards him, hoping he could hear or understand her.

@BoA_DragonAlpha ( I thought it was the sound of the clouds smashing together /slapped )

Sehun stepped back as she had advised, watching in amazement and awe as he form shifted and changed. He hoped the amount of time he'd given her was enough yet he couldn't help but gawp as she grew to what looked as though it were nearly times her normal size. No more, it definitely had to be more. She seemed so powerful. So dominating he actually felt quite insignificant by her side.

He would have covered his ear as she roared it was so loud, only he found that he couldn't. He roar wasn't one which scared him as it was intended for their opposer's, instead he found it endearing, beautiful in a sense, just like her current form. With the new found feelings for her he felt the need to protect both the powerful beast and the human form of the girl behind it - BoA.

The dream-hunter ducked, stepping backwards beneath the tail swinging towards him. His blazing swords dug into the dirt as he dragged them, setting the small trail alight due to the electricity running through them. "Oops." Sehun looked up in time to see her powerful tail managing to partially harm and partially cripple some of the daimons. But it didn't kill them. He frowned, watching as they gathered themselves up enough to continue when they couldn't even fight, much less walk. Although... the sight was quite amusing. He weaved his way between them effortlessly, spinning, ducking, swiping the sword in any direction and smirking as it came into contact with flesh and bone, giving a satisfying thud as the decapitated bodies fell to the ground. "How many are left?" He knew that in her current state she would be able to talk but in the dream realm he was able to make it so that her thoughts were heard aloud, by him - and only him.
