the lighting that is his face briefly illuminated Recognize a classmate on the train and gets harassed by an older man and see your eyes and sees you're afraid of the man behind you, whispers help me.
DragonflyDream

Nixon, if you want assistance help yourself.
DragonflyDream
I think he needs some help or something
DragonflyDream

Let's get him first then he'll tell us how he wants to go.
DragonflyDream
Aight! Lead the way bro
I'll lead. walks up to Nixon, tapping his shoulder to make sure he notices me. Hey, man, you okay? You look pretty scared. What happened? my voice deep and husky, you could hear every word clearly.
DragonflyDream
I watch as she walks up to him dude hes right don't be rude old fella. I'd leave him alone or he'll beat you down..
I understand you may be scared, but there's no reason to fear. I'm not going to hurt you. And for your information, this isn't harassment. Please calm down, I just want to know if you're okay and if you're lost or something. Can you please respond?
DragonflyDream
yeah he's right bro just answer his question's. now listen, I have to tell you somethig kinda weird so you know we're not here to hurt yoy or anything like that right...?
Yes I understand, you can explain everything. Just please, speak calmly and cooly. Don't do anything dangerous or that might harm me.
DragonflyDream
you can consider my friend and i trustworthy. it won't hurt to trust us. so yea..
Understood. If you're being honest and trustworthy, then I will also try to be trustworthy to you. Now please explain this "weird" thing that you wanted to say. I'm trying to stay calm and calm too.
DragonflyDream
aight alright so we were sent down here by a highly responisible person.. we are tasked with escorting you upstairs. you don't have to worry I can assure you your safe with us.
I appreciate your honesty and willingness to make me feel safe. That being said, I still would like to understand why you're here and why someone would send you to help me. But nonetheless, if you say you'll keep me safe then I'll take your word for it and trust you both. Please lead the way to where ever it is you guys want to go.
DragonflyDream
aight! follow us. We're good. trust me..
walks alongside DragonflyDream, watching them closely. Alright, I'll follow. And I have to say, I feel more confident knowing that you guys are here. I'll definitely do my best to stay calm and cool just like you two. glances at Nixon occasionally to check on him as well. Do you mind explaining a bit more about why you're here? I mean, if you're not being rude or anything. Just curious.
DragonflyDream
oh trust me we'll explain when we get there. oh! and if any one jumps you be prepared to hold em. okay?. aight lets go. We go inside one of the walls that had electricity and traveled upwards from the subway underground.
Okay understood. If someone tries to hurt me, I'll try to fight back, but please try to stop them. follows DragonflyDream into the wall and goes upwards. So where are we going exactly?
DragonflyDream
somewhere you never seen before bud..and you probably wouldn't survive if you fell into the wrong places around here...
That sounds interesting, but also a little scary. Just please, ensure my safety, I trust you both. continues to follow DragonflyDream, looking around with a sense of curiosity. What exactly is this place and how come it's so hidden?
DragonflyDream
basically you're living underground bud. but don't get scared over nothing okay..?
Got it. No need to panic or get scared. Just... make sure I'm safe and sound. continues to walk along with DragonflyDream, following their lead.
DragonflyDream
I got ya bud. I promise.. okay?
Thanks for reassuring me. You've made me feel quite comfortable and confident so far. Your words mean a lot to me. keeps walking, feeling relieved.
DragonflyDream
We eventually get up and grab him by his hands and lift him since we had to climb some stuff to get upstairs, once we reached the top he saw a giant white gate with scribbles of writing on it..
Whoa! This is quite an amazing sight! I've never seen anything like this before. What does this writing mean? And what's the significance of this place? looks at the gate with curiosity, noticing the strange writing.
DragonflyDream
that's our sigil. who am I again...?
You said your name was DragonflyDream. Is this place connected to you in any way? What exactly is this sigil? And why does it seem so important? glances at DragonflyDream while looking at the gate.
DragonflyDream
yea I guess you could say that. this all belongs to a kingdom or tribe sorta.. its the "The Silent Shadows".
Oh wow! The Silent Shadows! That's really fascinating. I've never heard of such a group before. Tell me more about this tribe, their beliefs, traditions, and everything else you know about them. And what exactly is their significance?
DragonflyDream
well we're a clan that descends way before people started calling us human...
Well that sounds pretty interesting. So you're saying you guys are a clan of supernatural beings or something? And how many members are there in this clan? Do you have a leader or anything? raises an eyebrow in intrigue.
DragonflyDream
we're all over actually. we're everywhere we aren't a country or a kingdom but yet we're also not a gang. we operate under different cells we call families... the leader.. well if you wanna say that he's the leader we called him our king..
Interesting. So you have cells called families and a leader known as the King? How many of these "families" are there and how do they operate? Do they have different roles and responsibilities within the clan? Also, how did you become a part of this clan? I'm curious about all this. looks at DragonflyDream with excitement and curiosity.
DragonflyDream
uh theres about eight.. other than that they work normally like as a family would in this case we provide supplies to everyone since we run things to keep everybody satisfied.. I joined because my parent's didn't really love me and so I left and came here and asked if I could work under the clan to be cared for. I'm kinda weird though even with others in the family so they said sure. says that quietly
notices DragonflyDream looks down with a sad expression on their face. I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds like you didn't have the best start in life. But I'm glad that you found a place where you feel safe and cared for. Thank you for opening up to me. puts a hand on DragonflyDream shoulder to show comfort.
DragonflyDream
Yeah. what about you though? how did you end up here..?
That's a long story. But to keep it short, I was born with some natural abilities. I grew up isolated and hidden away, trying to suppress my abilities and live a normal life. But eventually, people started to notice what I could do and I had to run away. After that, I wandered from place to place, learning new skills and meeting new people. Eventually, I stumbled upon this place and found you guys. looks at DragonflyDream, smiling softly.
DragonflyDream
huh.. never knew you had powers either bud. that's cool in a way I guess.
Thanks. Yeah, I guess you could say I have some powers. They're mostly related to manipulating emotions and actions of others. I can make people feel happy, calm, relaxed, and even sleepy. I can also make them do things without them realizing it. It's pretty useful in certain situations. But I only use it when necessary, I don't like to manipulate people unnecessarily. smiles softly.
DragonflyDream
thats kinda sick actually, what kind of things do you use it for?..
It's true, it can be a powerful tool. But I only use it in extreme situations, like if someone is threatening us or someone we care about. Otherwise, I prefer to rely on my wits and physical abilities. I'm pretty agile and I can fight. I also know a few tricks here and there. So, overall, I try to use my powers sparingly and only when I absolutely have to. grins confidently.
DragonflyDream
aight
I know it's a lot to take in, but that's the basic idea. I hope you find it interesting. I'm an open book, feel free to ask me anything. looks at DragonflyDream with a soft smile.
