Aisu and Meinu had decide to separate as to cover more ground looking for their son, after the events of storming into Sora castle, they at least didn't run the risk of anyone besides Mo and any minions he manages to control to come after them. Aisu was In worry, and he knew Meinu was as well, and any promise made about being better and acting more as a family was going to be kept the second they got their son back, the second Percy was home. Aisu also knew deep down they no longer had to hide, that sharing Percy would be something they had to do, but dared not think on that matter right now. In fact he was more worried about how far he travelled looking for his son, walking the plains as if they were a distant memory of his, as if he had been here before, the air quiet and the charred ground making him watch as it was too fresh for him to be alone. It was moments like this he wished his other half to be here, not because he couldn't hold his own, but because he feared it being Mo watching and waiting for the next moment to control him, and he knew Meinu would be the only one able to snap him out of it. So he walked carefully, eyes peeled for any movement, long gone were his days of following another for the benefit of taking over, Mo those few weeks back a prime example why he always felt at such unease helping, but many others didn't know that, and he knew so far out from those who were told of such truths was not going to work in his favour.

Hiding was the best beat right now. What with a Demonic Dragon trying to take down the world, one so ancient and powerful that Kasai knew he couldn't challenge him. The purple Dragon had forced him to move location though, after a fair bit of warning from Chrysos that he needed to run. Kasai's head didn't work so well, he got sad and angry easily, suffered from nightmares or moments of confusion, and convincing the stubborn Dracomancer to move from his home wasn't easy.
At least the lands were charred from the bigger Dragon, easy for a creature that enjoyed the flames to find a new place to rest. Kasai didn't enjoy the chilly air, or the endless night, however, since it messed with his little sense of time and concerned the Dragon on what was going on. Chrysos would warn him of any other dangers, Kasai was confident in that at least. He was trying to sleep, buried under the ashy lands in a makeshift home, comfortable in his Dragon form, body getting more tired now that he couldn't tell when to sleep or not. But it didn't take much to wake him up, the shift in earth above him made Kasai's eyes flicker open, and a low growl release from his stomach. He pulled himself from the ground, shaking off the dirt and ash, then looking around the darkness. There was someone skulking around, badly. He shifted down into Demon form, doing his own skulking towards the noise.
That colour in the wings, that face, Kasai stared at someone he knew. But it hurt his head, trying to think how he remembered them. He only felt his heartbeat quicken, and panic and fear set in. Kasai didn't know what made him scared, but even without his memories intake, he could tell he and this other Dracomancer had history. And Kasai didn't like anyone he'd supposedly forgotten. So, growling, Kasai set up a fireball in his hand, firing it towards the Demon. "Stay back! This isn't you place to be skulking around!" He growled, coming from the endless darkness around them to face this other Dragon-shifter. His wings lit up, flames spitting from them and granting them some light source.

Aisu easily dodged the attack, looking over to a familiar face and eyes widening. It had been too long, and the last time they met, the two were trying to kill one another, in times which Aisu believed he had no choice but to follow commands of one who helped them. No he could see he was so wrong, and looking at the familiar face of his once brother, Aisu was filled with emotions he long forgot he ever had. "Only passing through, I would not have entered another's domain if I had known it belonged to them." It was distance, his words, ones to try and calm he other down... And yet Aisu wanted nothing more them to rile him up and see if Kasai was the same as before, he held back of course, matured from the days of childish games. "Kasai, I am not your enemy now, I mean no harm." Aisu wondered if their sister was around, he had some apologies to make to her as well, if she would allow him. He knew now what family was meant to be like, and he hoped this chance encounter allowed him to correct the wrong of the past and bring a new future to his own family.

Kasai snarled, annoyed by the others crap. If he wasn't trying to start something, then he should have flown over, it would be less disrupting if his plan was just to pass through. This guy was another Dracomancer too, he was foolish to not use his nose and figure out someone owned these lands. Even more foolish to not notice two Dragons owned these lands. Kasai walked closer, still fairly aggressive, ready to turn at any point and burn this intruder. It only made him more defensive when the other knew his name. Kasai growled, a puff of flames licking across his cheeks. "How do you know my name?!" He demanded, stepping closer. "I know you... I.. I know you!" He stated, looking frustrated and confused. He clenched his teeth together. "I do... fuck... I do fucking know you! You attacked me and my sister.. you... whoever you are." Kasai added, finally remembering something about fighting this guy. Losing as well, very badly. Kasai stepped back a little, "You were my enemy once right? How do I know you won't just attack me again?"

In a past Aisu now regretted, and he understood the hostility from his brother. "We were family, all of us. I'm Aisu, remember?" Though Aisu took his own step back, arms up in surrender, hoping to prove he wasn't here to fight, not again, not after the last time. "Once, but that's a past I long wish I didn't remember, that I wish I was never apart of. I know, it will be hard to believe me, but its the truth... I've learnt the value of family, and what's worth a fight... This right here, I don't want a fight, not again. I cannot lose a family member again." Its almost killed him losing Percy, and now knowing Kasai was here, was alive, and Chrysos most likely too... He refused to give that up again. "I wont attack you as I have things to lose this time, If anything I would attack the one who made me feel as if I had to attack you and our sister so many years ago... You are my brother Kasai, something I wont forget again. That being if you accept me back into your life, even if I have to work for forgiveness." Something he was willing to do now, after everything. "But it must wait, I was being honest when I stated I was only passing through, I'm looking for someone, and hoped to find them all the way out here."

The name was enough to spark a memory in Kasai's head. A fight, flames verses ice, and the pain of spikes of cold piercing his skin, almost costing Kasai his life. He recalled the pain, and the fear he felt. Kasai looked up to Aisu, stepping back some more, almost stumbling over his own feet. "I... I remember you." Kasai replied, gripping his own throat. "You tried to kill me..." He added, feeling that pain again. But, whilst Kasai wasn't good at remembering things, he was good at listening. As he listened to Aisu explain things, he slowly calmed down, actually sitting on the ground. "I thought I had a brother..." Kasai stated, pulling at some of the dirt around them, "It always felt a little lonely out here... But, I don't think I want a brother who attacks me and Chrysos." Kasai said, before sighing. He wasn't used to talking to anyone but Chrysos, from what Kasai could remember. She was always better at doing the talking, she still had enough of her mind left to actually tell when people were lying and telling the truth. Kasai struggled with that now. Even so, Chrysos wasn't here right now, and if Aisu was looking for someone important, Kasai felt a need to help. He pulled himself up, tail brushing off the dirt. "You're the only one who's travelled this way in a long while. Not even that great Dragon's come back here since the first time. So I don't think the one you're looking for is here."

Aisu looked to the ground in shame and guilt, knowing he made his own brother both hate and fear him for something he really did regret. "I did try to kill you, at the time I thought I was doing the right thing, now I see I was wrong." Taking a breath, Aisu wondered how much more he could take emotions wise before he collapsed, the thought of finally being able to rekindle with his brother, the pain over losing his son and the growing acceptance of Meinu, it was more then he had ever experienced at once, and Aisu felt suffocated by it. "You still have a brother, one who values the concept of true family now, one who's learnt his lessons and wants to correct things." So much had happened since they last saw one another, things Aisu was both proud of and hated, things Aisu wished he had time to explain. But he gave a sigh at hearing Mo had once been here, and long gone since. It was clear that he wasted time travelling so far looking, and Aisu almost broke down a cried there and then. "Clearly not." Aisu gave a humourless chuckle, one hollow and broken. "Then where the fuck did he take my son!?"

Kasai snorted a little. "Of course it was fucking wrong. Killing your brother like that..." He remarked, before shivering a little, not from the cold, but from the feeling of remembering that deadly chill. "It hurt." Kasai stated. His hands rubbed up and down his own arms, brushing across scars or marks he couldn't remember getting, that is until now. "Chrysos kept me alive afterwards, but couldn't save everything. I can't remember much... can hardly remember my own sister... or.. or my brother." Kasai said, rubbing one of his eyes a little. He growled in annoyance, "Can't even keep my fucking emotions together anymore." He explained, rubbing his eye more violently.
Kasai kept quiet. He might want a brother again, but it felt hard knowing Aisu was responsible for his messed up head now. Chyrsos would have to decide, she remembered much more about the past than Kasai did, probably about Aisu as well. Kasai got a bit nervous when Aisu seemed angry at his statement, before putting the facts together. His brother had a son then, that was something Kasai was certain he didn't know before, even with his memory intact. "The larger Dragon didn't stay long... I did see him use weird magic to move around, but he wasn't with anyone." Kasai added, knowing it probably didn't help much. Then Kasai took a look around himself, before shrugging. "I could help look for him."

"I'm sorry." Words spoken true, but not enough to show how sorry he really was. He never wanted to cause such distress on his own brother, nor take away memories or kill him. He acted in the moment and if he could go back to that day and change things he would in a heart beat. But he couldn't, and for that he knew that he would never forgive himself for what he has done. "I thought at the time I had to help the man who we called father, I was blinded by that and when you weren't, I had to do what I thought was right. It was wrong, and I regret every moment, if I could go back, change things, I would in a heart beat, even if it meant taking your place in all this." A truth which Aisu knew he wouldn't every regret saying. "Its okay, I don't look down upon you for not keeping emotions in check, hell if I'm able to most days now, and the most fucked up thing that's happened to me recently is mind controlled to attack the woman I love." Well, there was a first in admitting such big words. Taking a breath, knowing now that he had Percy before coming here, and it meant that he would not be close, Aisu gave Kasai a look of gratitude before shaking his head. "You don't know how much it means to me that you would be willing to do that, and I would accept in less then a second under any other occasion. But after what you have told me, I already ruined your life once, if I let you help me now, I fear I may do so again by dragging you into something bigger then the last. I made a mistake like that once to you, and while I would give anything to find my son, I cannot do that to you again."

Kasai didn't know what to think. He couldn't really remember much about Aisu, other than that one memory of being almost killed. He couldn't remember what caused the fight, why they were brothers, or anything about their time together. So, it was hard to think about forgiving him, when Kasai didn't really know him all that well. But, if Kasai could learn to consider Chrysos a sister once more, even after losing his memory of her, then he could try the same for Aisu. Kasai chuckled, "So I was right, you were wrong?" He asked, grinning a little. "I... I guess since we were brother, I would have said, 'Told you so', right?" He asked, since it sounded like something he'd probably say. Kasai smiled softly, shrugging his shoulders. "It would be nice to not cry when Chrysos doesn't remember to bring back food all the time, or when the sky looks really nice." He explained, before scrunching up his nose a little. "Who's this woman?" He asked, another thing about his brother he didn't think he'd remember even if he could. So much must have changed for him.
Which was why Kasai didn't really care about Aisu's next words, other than ignoring them. "Life had been good to you then, nicer than it was to me... I'm glad you didn't take my place then, back when those things happened." Kasai started. He looked to the sky, "If that Dragon comes back, I'm doomed anyway, Chrysos says we can't fight him alone. Too fucking big right?" Kasai asked, before sighing. "It would be doing my a favour to let me tag along, I think..."

Aisu gave a chuckle also, and a smile knowing he had a chance to fix things, no matter how small, and for that he was more then grateful. "Pretty much, you may have been a bit more insulting while you did so, but it would have all been in jest." Something he missed, but learned to live without. Slowly reaching out, Aisu held a hand upon Kasai's shoulder. "Still nothing wrong with it... My other half makes me want to cry all the time sometimes... And the last time I did so it took four days to get the tears unfrozen from my face." Something he knew amused Meinu in the end, as well as Percy even if neither would admit it. Even if it did cost four days or torture from comments while he did so. Smiling softly, Aisu gave a chuckle. "Her name is Meinu, met her quite a few years back, and far beyond when we last met. She's cold and calculating, but has a warm hear when you look deep enough. I hope to introduce you one day." It was funny to think how long it had been, and all that's happened in between that. But he did give a small bitter smile. "While life has been good the last eighteen years, it was not like that when we first split, in fact, I would have given anything now to have switched places with you back then." But still even with that, the thought of bringing him along was unsettling, he really didn't wish to cause Kasai any more hurt then he had. "It will be up to you, I do not wish to drag you into this mess, and Mo isn't the easiest to fight, I have a feeling that ether way we will all be doomed." Something Aisu would never have to courage to admit to anyone besides his brother. "And I refuse to let you leave Chrysos, and I doubt she will wish to trust me again."

Chrysos didn't leave Kasai for long. She still worried for him, he just didn't understand things right, and it meant he found trouble easily. She hated the years going off to find food, only to find Kasai missing, eventually finding him lost, injured and confused. He'd forgotten her a dozen times, and it hurt each time knowing it really wasn't the poor guys fault. It meant Chrysos had to act as the mature one, she couldn't go day by day acting all happy and silly anymore. Kasai didn't notice the difference, because he couldn't even remember what his sister was once like. To him, she'd always been this stern. This caring, but cautious and mistrusting of others. The old Chrysos died with all of Kasai's lost memories, the Dragon had accepted that.
Still, Chrysos was done mourning. She'd had her time to get over all that had happened, and be grateful that she still had Kasai with her. He was alive, after a fight that had brought him so close to death. The golden Dragon made her little brother a promise, that she'd never let him get hurt again. And for the record, in all this time, Chrysos had kept her promise. Years and years past, though to her, they didn't change much, they only let Kasai slowly recover.
She'd gone off to hunt, and scout out the area of ashen land. It was safe for now, but with that larger Dragon in the skies, burning every land he found, Chrysos wasn't confident she could keep Kasai here for long. And he hated moving, so she was praying it would be some time before that purple one returned. She'd begun her hunt, only to stop. Finding something in their lands, something rare and something Chrysos had wanted to hunt down for so long. She followed it back towards Kasai, landing silently, hiding in the dead trees, keeping her scales covered in dirt and ash to remain hidden. And she listened, ready to roast that little ice demon alive the moment he tried to hurt her Kasai again. But, she was surprised when they just spoke, Kasai didn't remember who he spoke to, other than blurry visions, but Chrysos knew Aisu very well. His appearance was burned into her mind for as long as he was a threat. Eventually, the two managed to come to conclusions that helped Kasai remember a bit, and Chrysos found herself relaxing into the shadows, just watching things unfold. This Aisu was different, he had a family now, as the girl found out. A son, he sorely missed and wanted back. Chrysos smiled when Kasai offered to help, and huffed loudly when Aisu spoke on Chrysos' behalf.
"You would be right about that." She grumbled, lifting to her full, large Dragon height. "Kasai doesn't remember the Aisu that I remember. I don't trust you, but I trust my Kasai." Chrysos stated, walking forwards and shrinking into Demon form. "There's only so many hiding places I can keep us safe, this mess will find us, and I can't lose Kasai again." Chrysos explained, and sighed. "If we really are all doomed, then I don't want to go knowing I missed the chance at having both my little brothers back... I've missed you Aisu, the real you."

Ais didn't jump when Chrysos spoke, eyes only widened in shock at how long she must have been here as to not attack him on site and know what was going on. But that wasn't even the big shock, the big shock was that she was willing to come with to help, even if it was for Kasai. Though he had to give a sigh. "Im afraid that Aisu you knew also died that day after everything. I think I did a lot of growing up the last few years, hell, I know I did, having to raise a kid does that to you... Chyrsos you must know all about that..." He had to add some teasing in for old times sake. "We probably all did though." Something that wasn't hard to miss with how Mature Chrysos was sounding and acting, and how he and Kasai didn't get straight into a fight. "But hey, I hope I can make you trust me again, I'm really not the same and regret everything, so I don't blame you for the distrust. I missed you both too, and want you in my life again. Want you in my sons life." Heaven forbid how Percy and Kasai would be together if they got close, Percy able to tell the other of all his past. Aisu just had to worry about Meinu's reaction, he knew of her family, but she didn't really know of his, not in the same way... Heres hoping she didn't try to fight them.

Chrysos managed to relax now that she'd said her piece, giving Aisu a soft smile. She even chuckled, "Glad you finally found out what a real family's like Aisu... I'm sure Kasai would like to remember that too." Chrysos replied, giving Kasai a look. He seemed happy to sit there and watch Chrysos talk, since she was much better than him at it. She moved around to stand near her brother, patting Kasai's head a little, ruffling the hair. "This is a perfect time to learn that trust again, since we'll be following you for a little while." She added, then grinned. "And I've always wanted to be an Aunt, we'd better find him soon because I've been waiting ages to be silly again." Chrysos winked, then looked to Kasai, giving him a almost sad smile. "Sorry Kasai, we're moving again, if that's alright." The boy snorted. "Yeah, this place sucks anyway, nothing like the old place." With that, the golden girl nodded, looking back to Aisu. "Well we're following you now, no more hiding away... there's not much point in staying in the shadows right now anyway, nowhere's really safe." Chrysos said. Perhaps they could bring that Dragon down together, but Chrysos didn't want to think on that fight, against an enemy that big... Perhaps one day they'd have to fight, she just hoped her little brothers wouldn't see the end if they did.
