"So?" 

Blade sighed once he noticed Dan peeking from a tree in front of their path, with his blue eyes locked on his figure. 

"No." Blade replied "This is the fifth time you ask, enough, don't you have anything better to do?" he asked as he was crossing his arms and keep walking past the half dragon who kept his grumpy stare on.

"You know many information about me, but you won't be sharing anything about you?" he asked, walking next to him and Blade looked at him with an obvious stare.

"Can't you use, I don't know, your powers to read my mind and get to know everything you want?" Blade said ironically and Dan Heng crossed his arms, like he was actually thinking about it

"It wouldn't be as fun as making you talk about yourself though" he replied as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Can you actually do that?" Blade asked, feeling a little bit in awe towards Dan's blue eyes. 

"What if I can? Could it be... You're worried I discover anything about you?" he asked, laying his head towards him with a challenging smile. Blade's red eyes were looking at him, who had a smirk almost. The swordman tilted his head, showing definitely NOT a scared or worried stare to Dan Heng

"No, because your head would be chopped off before you actually manage to do that" he replied with an obvious tone, laying his hand on his face, pushing him away, like a noisy child.

"Hey! My nose!" Dan complaint as he got pushed to the side, to leave the path free to the swordman who kept walking, ignoring him.

"Aren't you interested in my story with details?" Dan asked, walking side by side and Blade sighed "If you tell me anything about you, I will give you all the details, and maybe you might get ideas and realise you could make me a great resource for you" 

"Oh but you are already" Blade commented under Dan Heng's surprised stare. Blade turned to him and laid his visage close to Dan Heng's one "You're a great resource of headaches" he said, to then keep walking, leaving the half dragon on spot for a moment.

"How rude" Dan Heng commented and Blade left him with a terrifying side eye to then close his eyes.

"You shouldn't care about knowing someone who's going to part ways soon with you" Blade said with an obvious tone "I am a swordman, who lives to fight, end of it"

"You live for death?" Dan sighed "But you didn't try to kill me"

"Because I do kill only when it is needed or the people I have in front are an obstacle" Blade looked at Dan who was for a moment surprised "I have nowhere to belong to, but I stay with my honour. There's no fun in killing people who can't protect themselves or do not seek for a fight"

Dan smiled and Blade tilted his head "Why do you smile?" he asked and Dan Heng looked nostalgic

"Because I wish the Emperor was sincere..." Dan looked at the forest "Those were the words who made me believe he was good..." he sighed "But I made him taste something no mortal should taste... and got insane" Dan looked like he was getting mad at his own thoughts "Humans... When you get to taste power... You change" 

"What kind of power?" Blade asked and Dan looked at him in his eyes

"This" Dan made a golden orb appear and floating up his own hand as water was flowing around it "This is the key of my life essence and key of my power connected to the nature of this world... Its magic is unlimited... Too much for a mere human to tame" Dan explained and Blade looked at the golden orb shining, making its ray go through the water that was floating around it.
