"More violence, is that all you people think about, "Oh, let's go kill something."? I kill to eat. That is it. I do not fight for pleasure, and I do not understand what pleasure either of you get from it." Dreamer said.

"I cant say for Demon, but I do get pleasure from fighting. From killing, even torture. Just be glad I want to kill those that hurt the innocent. I would not have any game if there was no evil in the world. You can keep peace to yourself. I used to kill to eat also and that got me hurt and only hurt. Be advised, sometimes death is the only, only option." Lily stated this off-handedly but her eyes were intense with emotion just beneath the surface.

Dreamer stood stoicly, she wished no argument or debate... "I agree that in order to protect the innocent, then the guilty must die, but I struggle to understand what pleasure is derived from violence. I wish not to debate with you, young one, I only want to understand your point of view. What pleasure is derived from violence, torture, and death? Please, I only wish to know."

Lily rolled her eyes. The thing was taking extra precuations and it was silly. Hadn't she said she was ok with Dreamer? "I suppose you could call destroying evil a job, right?" lilly ccontinued without waiting for an answer. "Why not get satisfaction out of your job? If it hurt you to hurt evil then you begin to not enjoy destroying said bastards. Why not have fun Dreamer? I am no masochist, I enjoy what I do."

"Masochists hurt themselves, besides, why choose a job in which you must kill for fun? Just because you enjoy your job doesn't mean it is any better a job. It is still violent."

"I'm no emotional masochist then. And what do you suppose would happen to the Collective Lands if no one took care of it. Look at it this way, I am taking care of the land I am in by killing the evil ones. Taking care of the land is a noble job. Noble jobs should be enjoyed. Therefor it is logical to enjoy killing evil ones."

Demon's tail flicked slightly, the tip raised from the ground in a fountain of fur. This discussion was intriguing, and his eyes darted from Lily to Dreamer as each spoke. His dark blue eyes revealed nothing, but in truth, Demon was in rapture listening to them. Both had valuable qualities, and both spoke truth. Neither were right, but neither were wrong. The lion took a deep breath, filling his lungs entirely, holding for a few moments, then pushed all the air out of his lungs while gathering his own thoughts. Finally taking another deep breath, he began to speak very quietly, in a musing tone if you will, and uncaring as to whether they actually listened or not. Listening was their problem, not Demon's. "Death is a necessary evil. Killing is also necessary. But one must always be sure before killing that their target is worthy of death. One must not kill unconditionally and uncontrollably. That is the path to evil. Thus it renders you no better than those you kill. But to hold perpetual peace may not necessarily be the best plan either. No matter how noble your heart may be, there will always be someone out there that wants to take advantage of you and your pure heart. That is why creatures such as myself and Lily exist- to defend the pure and innocent. Whether we take pleasure in that calling or not is for ones own self to decide. "Take, for example, the scorpion. It kills indiscriminately. Food and self defense. But if you simply walk past it, unaware of its presence and thus providing no threat, it may still sting you. It is paranoid that every living thing is out to get it. One of our calling must beware not to become a scorpion." Throughout the monologue, Demon let his eyes travel from Lily to Dreamer, then back again, repeating the movement until he was finished. As the final word, scorpion, dwindled away into the air, Demon held Lily's gaze for a moment, The slowly lowered his massive head onto his paws and closed his eyes, ears still alert for any comments or continued conversation that may interest him. Otherwise, he gave the sign that, for the most part, this talk was over and it was time to rest.

Lily agreed with Demon and realized she was certainly on the path to becoming a scorpion. How many times had she thought of killing those that even brought emotion to her? Wasn't she thinking of killing the very ones that were her companions becuase they only weighted her down, only made her more able to get hurt? She may not have wanted to tell Dreamer but it was true that she also enjoyed killing becuase of the pain in her heart. What she endured made her more than bitter. She sensed the conversation was over and stood up and began to pace. She hated to stay still or to rest other than when she visited Streak, and even then it was frusterating, very un-feline-like.

Dreamer dropped her head. The half-beast was right. "One musn't kill only for pleasure, and one musn't kill in paranoia. You are both correct. Now I understand." She lay down on the sand. She was tired and wished not to search for a cave or an outcrop of rock. She picked at her claws with her beak for a while, then muttered something incomprehensible, and she was soon asleep.

Demon raised his maw and inclined it towards Dreamer, appreciating her comments. He watched her drift off into sleep with an unreadable expression, then turned his deep and mysterious eyes towards Lily. "Rest, now." He purred out, then rested his head on his paws again, slowly slipping off into a doze. ~ He awoke the next morning, the only sign of consciousness being a twitch from his ears. Rather than getting up, he chose to simply remain as he was and think about the coming day.

Lily listened to Demon. she sat, then lay. Waiting for the time when she would be sweeped away to the land of the dead to talk with her long dead lover once again.
~
She woke next morning with a violent start. She sighed. One day, she began to hold in her need to cry. One day, she wouldn't feel the need to cry. She stood and paced. Today was likely going to be a big day.

Dreamer awoke when the Tiger kicked sand around, standing up so quick. "What?" She asked. She sighed and layed her head back down. When Lily's pacing bacame too much, she stood, stretched, and took flight, flying in tight circles before finding a good thermal, and she glided in circles over the island, hot air rising from the water coming over the beach. She fell asleep again, nothing but the sound of the wind.

Lily paced calmly for about and hour. She was thinking. And then she knew, she knew what she was going to do and she knew how she felt about things. Everything was in order now. The only thing left she had to do was to act. She was scared, she didn't want to lose what she already had and part of her did not accept the fact that she had emotions. She was tough though, and she would do the best she could. She hoped. She sat. "Demon. Good morning.

Dreamer slept lightly, afraid that something would happen. Sure enough, her sensitive ears picked up Lily's voice on the rising air. She opened her eyes lazily and drifted down towards the beach, angling her wings down so that they let the air glide past. She drifted down gradually until she reached the sand. She shook her feathers and glanced at Demon, then looked at Lily. "So, you come up with a battle plan?" she asked groggily and lazily.
