The shadows were cool, kept him focused and watchful. The imp suddenly lifted his head and glared at the human from his point in the darkness, eyes still bright despite the morning's intrusion. His tail curled like a poised serpent and his expression showed nothing. But he had come to a decision.
Should his master, the great and demented Lord Xai're, god of Death, get ahold of this human, he would surely torture her to no end, leaving her to beg for death. Surely the dragon would've noticed his precious human missing... And soon after, when the Kai dragon would come and his dark master would obtain his goal, ultimately killing the human in the end anyway and leave the dragon's already tortured soul in despair. While some of that plan sounded appealing, he bore no hatred for this human. In fact, somewhere deep inside, he felt he could possibly get along with her in another time and place, should the chance arise...
For the last time, the imp spoke. "Isss has been thinking on thingsss long into the nightssss...." he rasped, hunching over even more. "Iss has decided..." He couldn't turn back now, not while he still thought he could go through with it. Surely he would pay for this small show of weakness... "Iss deciding, human musssst go... away. Somewheresss away..."
With that the imp stood and strode unwillingly into the light of the morning, blades of light slashing across his blackened essence. He clapped his hands together in determination, blueish light dancing from his palms now, his eyes straining with the effort. There was a light sizzling sound as a portal, the size of a man, began to flow from the imp's hands and form before him.
