9 9 Mischievous Emerald

"History forms the present " Blue Fire repeated his mantra to his young son for the millionth time. The young child had grown tired for his fathers sayings and fears. Growing up was a complex matter for Joon. His father was strict. Blue Fire feared his son following in his earlier foolish footsteps.

Anything that seemed fun to Joon, seemed to be destructive and without a cause to his father. Enjoyment seemed to be forbidden. He hid throughout the forest and flew through the trees breaking branches. Birds nest shattered to the ground as they fell from the tree tops. Eggs burst open on the ground was a treat for him to lick up. Joon played with his flame when his father wasn't looking. Small fires would break out across the landscape when he traveled. Blue Fire would create fire breaks to contain them from becoming wild. All the animals in the area were distributed by Joon's presence in the area. They moved across the land to avoid hurting any one area for an extended period of time.

As Joon got older his father could not control his comings and goings an more. Joon had the freedom to roam. As he roamed, he learned of more enjoyments. He found pleasure in hunting, among other activities. At first small prey animals satisfied his cravings for excitement, then came larger beast. He thought the meat tasted sweeter the harder the animal was to catch. His developed to became more exotic. He required less food regularly, but had more satisfaction with each meal.

While off hunting one day, getting some space from his father, Joon found something new. The flowers were blooming and fragrant as he wondered in an open field. It was time for baby birds to be hatch. Not long ago, Joon had decided to leave the weak small things alone. He was off looking for bigger and juicer game. He spotted an opening at the base of a mountain, and ventured towards it. He enjoyed the cool dark atmosphere while exploring deep in mountains. He breathed in the scent of cool earth and stone, then proceeded forward. Joon's hands glided over the smooth jagged walls as he felt the spaces within the area. He was formulating an areal map of this cave for he's memory.

His dragon scales glowed blue as he encountered a femme with green eyes that shimmered with life. He had encounter femmes before, they were normally weaker than him and easily devoured. He met higher energy femmes, but gathered his level quickly to still overpower them. He thought, at the time, she was the most alluring energy. He did not want to simply consume her like all his other prey, but instead felt desire to ingest her in other ways.

These urges were a first for him. Too his surprise she spoke seductively, "Come get me." The woman began to sprint away from him, down further into the cave. He took up chase after her; he liked this game. She dashed into a dark space within the mountain and he couldn't find her again. His keen eyes failed him in that moment. She could not be seen. He searched in vain to find her, until he grew tired and needed to meet with his father again. He left the cave with the sunset beaming into his eyes upon his ascent. He felt disappointed not finding her that day. He searched for days, then return to his normal activities.

Weeks later while wondering through the forest he heard the lady's whisper, " Come get me." He followed the voice back to the same Mountain. He could smell and feel her excess in the surrounding air. He searched for her again with renewed energy. He seek her out daily until finally he figured it out. He devised a plan for her capture.

During the winter he returned to the mountain, when the Earth's energies were low. Many animals and energies lay dormmate during this time. He slowly strolled throughout the mountain open spaces, then felt it. The level from that day. He peered into the darkness cased on an adjacent wall. He saw something, it seemed pressed into the dark grey wall. He closed his eyes as he neared it. His lizard like tongue slowly came out his mouth and proceeded to licked what seemed like the cave wall.

She jumped from her hiding spot shouting, "Don't consume me!"

Joon retreated back a little and laughed out, "I can't eat you." 'Not now', he thought, but it was true. Even if he wanted to he couldn't just eat her so quickly after so much effort to find her hiding spot. Besides he did not know how to eat a jewel, yet.

She laughed too, "Oh, good... How did you finally find me? I've teased you for months ."

He relied, "Simple, I desired you."

She was impressed and taken back by his answer. Such a young energy showing such cleverness made her feel intrigued. Over many months they met, talked, and played games. He learned from her and enjoyed her company. A friendship developed.
