the clan's inborn member

Mei-Li was in awe of Tai. She had never seen someone like him before.

*tai had sent small bolts of white hot flame to the chains and vaporized them and then turned to normall dropping the inch to the floor and the same druid that had a crush on nanako was sent to follow secretly and explain*

"What just happened?" Mei-Li asked shocked.

*the druid who liked nanako cut ina dn explained that tai had a new form*

"What do you mean a new form?"

*tai* "i felt wierd inside when it awoke like i had awakened for the first time"

*druid* "he is the first of a new race. the known complete opposite of the unknown. like the aura of fear that unknown have the known has an aura of awe making them welcomed everywhere and instead of being cruel and murderous he avoids combat when he can unwilling to kill. this is the very reason tai could not hit u as punishment. this new race has deep deep trouble harming others unnecesarily"

"A new race? How?"

*isei* "i guess when the dna from the clan pact and the oni dna combined it resulted in a new race"

"Your mother was Oni too?"

"my mom was china the one who got banished for doing idiotic things alone thinking suicide would help. she was half oni"

"Just like me. I wonder if we are related somehow."

*tai* "hopefully not"

"I know very little about my mother. I was raised by my father until the Oda took me away."

*tai* "what now Yashi?" *tai turned t him for advise*
*Yashi* "we get out of this swamp and learn as much as we ca about your race"

"I feel honored to be with you Tai."

*the group gets ready to move on finding their confiscated supplies and move on*

Mei-Li held Tai's hand as they walked out of the swamp.

*they could see dark swamp as far as they could see and didnt know where they came from*

She was frightened of all the shadows. She clung to Tai even tighter.

*isei cast a light spell on his staff and lit the area well*

"Where are we? Are we out of the swamp yet?"

*tai* "does it look like it?" *they were still in the swamp area knee deep in swamp water*
*isei* "it appears we awoke in the center of the swamp"

"Which way is out?"

*yashi* "if we knew we would be out by now"

"Look there! Through the trees. I see dry land."
