(Monsterrrr I think I'm in love with Jan lol.)


It was raining. And it was wet. It was cold, and it was wet, and it was raining and Vander had been stuck in this damn tree hallow all day long. "Damn it." he said letting out a frustrated huff, glaring out of the tree at the dark gray clouds and the torrential downpour they released as though they had did him some kind of personal injustice. Vander had been on his way to the next town, intel he had managed to gather had told him that his newest target -a pirate named Sweeny Todd- currently resided there.

The day had started out nice and clear, not a cloud in the sky, nothing had been there that would have hinted to this deluge the Vander was now forced to endure. He had decided to fly to his destination, spread his wings and revel in the afternoon heat as his scales absorbed the warmth of sun, that was one of the things that he enjoyed most about his powers. And then it happened, literally out of nowhere storm clouds had gathered and began to expel their load and Vander, caught off guard was forced to find emergency shelter."I was warned about the unpredictable weather patterns, but this is ridiculous."

He crossed his arms and grumbled as he listened to the cacophony outside. He hated he rain and the cold, he wasn't sure if it was due to the coldblooded creature inside him or not, all he knew is that he felt miserable now, like he always did when it poured. And that coupled with the fact that he was drenched while transformed was a double whammy. All he could do was sit there in the middle of the forest and recover until the rain stopped.

Reaching into his pack he pulled out another thin blanket and wrapped it around himself, he would have to make sure to buy a better one the next time he had the chance. He sighed, time seemed to pass by so slowly, this cold isolation reminded him of those lonely days he spent after the destruction of his village. Wandering aimlessly through the mountains, having nowhere to go back to, no family, no friends, all by his lonesome in some forgotten corner of the world. Vander shook his head and snapped out of his reverie. He wasn't alone anymore, hadn't been since he met Master Lucci. The man had been his savior: he had taken him in, a complete and total stranger, given him food and shelter, helped him deal with the pain and shock of losing his family, and eventually taught him the necessary skills he would need to defend himself when the time came to set out on his own.

He reached into his pack again and pulled out a sheet of paper, trying to distract himself from this train of thought. Unrolling it, he frowned as he looked upon the face of the pirate who would be the next person he hauled to the marines. "Hmph, what kind of name is Sweeny Todd anyway? Doesn't sound like the name of a dangerous person." The appearance of the man on the bounty was just as deceptive as his name, he didn't look particularly threatening at all, though the bounty was 5,000,000 belli, slightly higher than average. "Well, lies and deception are what pirates are best at." Vander said bitterly, roughly stuffing the paper back into the pack and closing his eyes determined to sleep through the storm.
