“Sorry, I don’t know how to not make it.. like that.”
Brushing himself off.
“Oh! Okay! So.. like, what do they do? Why did you join them? Are they worth joining? Is it like a mortal construct of ‘power tiers’ or is it a free for all? What do you do in it? Is it only for +

There’s a loud roll of thunder, then lightning striking close by
“Captain! Finding you is hard.. I want to know more about this ‘Fatui’ you mentioned!”
+ go that way, you should find him easily. I’m sure you’ve got a keen sense of smell!
And with the sound of static, he’s gone, leaving only the smell of ozone. )
Travel west, and there will be mountains. In the central mountain, there will be the volcano…
He lives inside it, in a cave…
I don’t know which one, probably a big one.
I’m going to go see if I can find a hot rock to lay on! I like hot rocks…
( pointing in a direction +
+ fighting in the dark. With the speed of lightning, he really just likes being unseen and uncatchable.
Night storms are always the most fun. )
Should we go? Do you wanna meet him? I can direct you! I can’t go to the volcano…
Dizhi would bury me fifty feet under if I did…
Oh, right.. I forgot about the lava part…
( humming, then shrugging, looking back over his shoulder. )
Maybe? Though he does still do things at night, so it’s unlikely..
Who knows. Maybe he just doesn’t like fighting in the dark for no reason?
( raijin obviously prefers +
+ truly forgotten. Memories are really strange things…
( tilting his head in thought at that last sentence. )
He’s never really told me why.. he just says he refuses to. Maybe he’s scared of the dark..? But he lives in a cave in a volcano..
Aren’t caves dark?
Mine is the opposite! I can only remember if I’m speaking to someone, or when I’m calm and happy..
It’s weird, since I can’t really feel grief and sadness..
( giggling, his hair fluffing up more. )
You’re really interesting, Captain.. it seems some things can never be +
+ ground. )
I know it’s a hopeful idea, but the body never forgets what it has learned!
( pointed ears flicking, before he’s turning his head. )
Addi won’t fight if it’s night time…
… So you’re like me.
You retain little to no knowledge of your past, before you became who you are now..?
When my power was taken, my memories and my grief were as well. Some think it’s a blessing, but…
It’s scary.
( blinking. )
But I still get bits and pieces. Do you +
+ every catch glimpses of things you’ve seen before, or things said to you..? Things you’ve done?
It just comes naturally… it could be in the way you talk or walk, how you fight..
Maybe it you spar with Addi, you can learn about your past!
( tail now thumping against the +
+ confidence back! I can take you to him- well, guide you to him.
You’re too heavy to travel by lightning…
( eyes falling on the other’s tail, widening a bit, his hair seemingly fluffing up. )
Yes! He’s one of the two war dragons of my.. kind? I mean, maybe you’re a third! You like lava!
That’s like.. fire and earth! Which is funny because-
Well… Dizhi and Addi are the two war dragons.
Pyro and Geo.
( accentuating with his hands, holding up one finger on each +
+ hand to represent the dragons he’s speaking of. )
Dizhi lost his bloodlust and will to fight when the gnosis was created. Addi lost his confidence, though. It caused him to become quiet.
A shame..
We all lost something major to us!
Maybe you can help get Addi’s +
Yes! I mean, in my past I lived in lightning. Elementals have… a way of making things work.
I think Aquilo is the only one who doesn’t make a home for himself…
Something, something ‘where the wind is’ or whatever he says.
( shaking his head before giggling again. )

I’m sure he’d want to spar, but he really enjoys company, despite being a recluse.. he’s happy dragons still exist.
When he found out I had reincarnated, he was the first to find me and bring me to safety.
He’s wanted another Pyro dragon to meet. I mean- Aquilo has the um.. +
+ mentioned lava- are you good with Volcanos? Addi lives near a volcano! I think he lives IN it, but I can’t go in a volcano!
Have you ever seen the energy of a star exploding? That’s what it’ll be like.
You control fire too?! Awesome! Well, expected, because you showed me fire, but still..
That’s so cool! I think you and Addi will get along well!
( giggling a little more, he seems to be easily excitable, his tail wagging faster. )
I should bring you to meet him! You +
