Alucard and Ulkina (Gengar and Latias)
Alucard floated around the outside of the castle dejected, looking down at the hard ground. Why did Ulkina have to sell him out like that? Just why? He looked at the guards posted at the fron gate. They gazed at him, but paid him no mind. They hadn't really cared about him since they found out he was not responsible for all the false accusations Syni brought forth. After the events of the past few days, he was deeply considering that alone time he first proposed to Ulkina, except he was really starting to see some good in the alone part. He wanted to go away for a while. To get answers. He wanted answers badly, the desire eating away at his thoughts. Who was he before he died? How did he die? Why did Ulkina actually seemed familiar to him? He needed to consult the Dragon and from there on out he would be able to plan his next move according to the wishes of her. So he sought her out.
Lo and behold as soon as he started his search, Ulkina came swooping through the doors, mildly surprising the guards, not pressing on in her usual acrobatic display, but in a serious stride for once. She looked...changed from when Alucard had originally been seperated from her. She didn't hum lightly to herself like she used to. She didn't look around in splendor at the sights of the world, like she used to. Her eyes no longer possessed the wide-eyed naive gaze of a little girl. But the one thing that wrenched Alucard above all, was that she was independent. She presented herself in a regal gait, much like she professed to Azauqyar. He looked down at the ground again in disappointment. That was it. He'd actually started to grow attached to her after all these years, feeding her and educating her, and maybe now he had to move on. The red dragon caught a glimpse of Alucard, and suddenly a small smile lit up her face in some cheer. Alucard almost smiled too, but now wasn't the time for that.
Ulkina practically beamed as she flew over to Alucard. "Brother! Where have you been? It's been scary around here without you."
Alucard continued to stare into the ground dejected. "So you've finally sold us out."
Ulkina placed a hand on her chest in mild shock. "What do you mean? How did I sell us out?"
Alucard frowned. "You know damn well what you said back there in the throne room about me. I was there. I didn't want to show myself to you or the green dragon." Alucard looked up at Ulkina, a steady stream of tears forming below his eyes. "You've done broken my dead heart Ulkina. You should have known all along I wasn't your brother. You should have known I was just a broken spirit, with nothing but a drive. I need to find out why I came back. You came along though, and you lit up my depressed self. You were my drive...but now..."
Ulkina's smile faded away to a look of sorrow. "B-broth-" she began, but Alucard looked her in the eyes, knowing she'd called him wrong. "Alucard? I'm sorry I said that about you in the throne room. I now have a purpose though, and I forgot all about you. I have a nation that requires me. You've taught me. You've sheltered me since I discovered you years ago. What are you going to do now?"
Alucard looked back up at Ulkina. "I think I need some alone time. I need to get away from this debacle I've caused. I need to let you flourish in your enviornment. You have a real brother who gave his life away just so he could see you again. I didn't want to steal that from you Ulkina. You're growing into a strong independent girl, and I appreciate that. I need to leave though." He turned away from Ulkina and started to float away.
"Alucard," Ulkina called out. "No, Brother. I need just one last thing from you if you really go."
Alucard wheeled around. "What is it?" Ulkina pressed her hand over her heart. "Somewhere out there, is the old house of me and my brother Eric. Eric told me there was a treasure stored within that house that holds an enormous value to him, and he said I'd learn why. If you ever find our old house, could you look?"
Alucard nodded to Ulkina. "What does it look like?" he asked. "You'll know Alucard. You'll just have to go with the feeling." He smiled and patted Ulkina on thr shoulder. "Good luck then Brother." Ulkina said, and then Alucard floated away without second thought drifting away from the hell he had been in for the past weeks.
Ulkina wiped away a tear of her own as Alucard slowly vanished into the distance. "Now to find those accursed dragons. I need to deal with the demon girl." She tore past the guards, looking for Stratos, the only one of the two she believed was still in the city.
