Be stopped for a moment and took a deep breath. It was a long story, But Bee figured she owed him that story. He did answer her questions after all. "Alright Aeos where do I begin. Well first off I learned the blacksmith training in lycia from a master blacksmith named Johnson. He was like a second father to me", spoke the maiden as she stared into the flames. A happy expression dawned her face as she danced in memories of the past and the forge. "My time in Lycia was spent aiding my friend Mila and fighting against the monster threat. There numbers never seem to end. Every time you burn one asunder three more take its place. They are starting to become a real problem in Lycia. After doing that for a wile and finishing my training with my master I decided to pay Illia a visit. Things ... well they took a turn for the worst. Did I ever tell you about what happen to my family? I don't think I did. I am not sure about you dragons, wait never mind you have parents, but us humans don't just pop out of no where. Moms and Dads, well I am going off topic." Bee stopped for a moment and took a deep breath. She had to prepare herself for this. "well Aeos my village, when I was little, was attacked by brigands. My mother was killed and everyone I knew was slaughtered, or sold into slavery. That was me as well. The brigands dragged us away from home and treated us like property. they brought us to a market, I am not sure where, and sold us to the highest bidder. It was during that time I was sold to a master Druid by the name of Draco Guro. He wanted somebody to use as a test subject for his experiments. ..., to make a long story short I escaped and began to wonder the world. However recently Draco's goons caught up to me. The man known as Black Dog killed a friend of mine and nearly took my life. He had a regal blade you see. Most of our magic was ineffective. However with the help of a few drunk wizards we were able to force him to retreat. After that he started to send some thugs after me. thus why I came to Vinland. It was the one place Draco could not reach."

Of course humans don't just pop into existence. Aeos inner voice muttered. He knew how life worked. He knew how kids were produced. How families were raised. He had seen animals breed and give birth. The camels back home do not live forever. And His own pet dog was probably the double digit numbers of his lineage.
Aeos sat and listened to Bee talk. He was relieved to hear her talk about her troubles. But mildly annoyed he had to hear her own tragic story. He did not expect Bee to have been a slave once. Or that she had been hounded by her previous owner. Or that her previous owner had the gall to call himself draco. A dragon wouldn't take a slave. At least that's what his parents taught him. He knew his species histories probably had dragons who would enslave others. But, not his tribe. His parents taught him that slavery was wrong. He had seen slaves. In the centuries he had been alive he had seen people who owned other people. People who whipped, beat, and abused other people for the sake of being able to do so. Those who had been treated with unspeakable cruelty.
He said nothing. He had a feeling that Bee didn't want him mucking around with her whole plot for revenge. And she had every reason not to bring other's into her plot of vengeance. This was her battle. But, damn it. He wished he could fight her battle for her. He wanted nothing more then to destroy draco himself. So he could not hurt others. At all. Ever. He could feel anger welling up in him. He had a special hatred for slavers. Two of his friends now had to live through their cruelty. Gar and Bee. Two friends he didn't want to see suffering. He was upset. And while he wasn't vocal about it, there were signs of it. His skin was starting to show signs of scales. And he was very still. He could feel the tips of his ears prickle.
He was starting to tremble a bit now. He knew what was going on. He knew he needed to stop. He took a deep breath and tried to lower his distress levels.
"Bee.. you are the second companion of mine to have been plagued by slavers. I do not like slavers." He shook his head.
"I hate the fact that my friends had been.. taken by them. Tortured. And abused by them." He clenched his fist.
"I know.. this is your battle. Or rather.. it will be your battle. I wish.. I could fight it for you." He shook his head.
"But.. my power.. it's tied to my emotions. I fear I might.. end up doing something regrettable if.. I were to go into battle against a slaver. Something.. that would brand me a monster to others." He gritted his semi-sharpened teeth.
"I.. want to rip him to shreds." Made a ripping motion with his scaled but still human hands. He then put his hands down and went still again. He needed to relax.
"I'm sorry, Bee. I cannot join you. But, I will do what I can to make sure you... beat him one day." He took a deep breath in and out again once his little rant was over. After a bit he could feel his whole body calm down and he returned to his normal self. After another exchange, the day light had dimmed considerably. He made sure to clean up the area and then once Bee was secure in her sleeping area. Only, then did he extinguish the light of the fire with water. He climbed up the tree and secured himself in his own sleeping branch. He was up for a while. Just listening to the forest around them. It was odd how soothing it was. He eventually drifted off to sleep. He was awake by dawn. And after the morning's events were finished. He took Bee to the river. To their training grounds.
OOC- End the thread with your post Buto. We will move it over to a support.

"Is ... probably for the best Aeos. I am not saying ... well listen Aeos, you don't know Draco guro. He is not your average dark magic user. He is a lot stronger and a lot wiser. It is not just him. It is not just him and a few people. Draco has a entire cult with him. He leads a massive group of elder magic worshiping druids. Asking you to fight him woul be like asking a bear to fight all the ants in the world. Sure your strong. Your a dragon, but they have the numbers, and worse yet they have been looking for a dragon. I have seen things. Stuff that was in Dracos book, forbidden stuff. What hey want, no, what they desire ... well it is to evil for me to talk about. Just know that it is bad, and I am not talking about minor bad. No I mean major bad. The kind of bad that would shake the world. The thought of them doing that to you, Aeos, well ... you know what lets drop it. Let me handle Guro. I can deal with Guro.My flames are destined to send him to hell", spoke Bee as she stared into the fire. She said that, but she did not look like she meant it. "I am going to bed".
As Bee climbed into her makeshift bed her mind began to drift back to her mother. She could see her there working her forge. Her hammer pounding away at the metal. She then felt the warmth of her dream, the image of her mother looking over her. It was then that the scream came. he cry of the villagers, the appearance of the bandits. There stood the man with three scars and hair as orange as the rising sun. with one blow her mother was gone and so was the warmth. "Alexander!" With that dawn had arrived.
