There was nothing but pain and pain and pain and whirling chaos and blood rushing in his ears and broken bones and pain and pain and oh Daimyo, the pain!

Time seemed to stretch on forever. Time had no meaning. Everything was nauseating pain and an inability to do anything but flow through the haze of pain and time -

Ue was on his hands and knees, dry heaving in between panting struggles to breathe. He wasn't aware of his surroundings, but time suddenly felt so heavy and permanent and still.

"Such a pathetic child. Get up!"

Drako dealt with this problem as he dealt with most problems: get angry at it. And the current problem was confusion at what was going on and why he couldn't seem to regain control of his limbs after he had exited the portal. What he did know was that Ue was there, and Ue was a convenient target for the multitudes of frustrations tangled in his mind.

"Never...anything...useful...to say," Ue struggled out. Why couldn't that blasted portal have spit him and Drako out to different places? Drako, who'd seemed like a useful tool until he'd stood in the way of his revenge, was the last being Ue wanted to hear or see right now.

"Only because you never do anything useful," Drako snarled. He'd played patient in his bid for the staff, and this charlatan child had destroyed it all with his reckless impatience and desperation. He was done playing nice. He'd gladly break every bone in the boy's body if only he could get his body to respond to any command.

Ue was slowly regaining some composure. His breath was coming back now that the dry heaving was slowing. The pain still persisted everywhere but with Drako to direct his rage at, he could cope. "You are not in charge of -" Ue started angrily before composure crumbled and he began dry heaving again.

Euck, ugh - Drako attempted to dissect Ue while he was vomiting but...he was vomiting? Had he ever regurgitated before? It wasn't common for his species; it usually spelled out death. It was absolutely vile. His stomach cramped, his throat burned, his mind seized. What had that portal done to him?

Harsh breathing echoed slightly in the surroundings, quiet now as Ue and Drako puzzled things out instead of sniped at each other.

Ue looked down at his hands - or tried to. When had they gotten so far away from him?

Drako looked back at his hands. Oh... Oh no. That... simply couldn't be.

The Ue-Drako creature let loose a horrendous screeching noise.

Ue batted at his body, trying to rid it of the scales and wings and claws -

Drako flapped his wings and stomped his legs, trying to take flight away from this horrid humanoid -

Ue felt wings beating, a strange and foreign sensation, but unmistakably his own -

Drako growled, unable to control half his limbs, for half his limbs were no longer his own -

"Vile - fault - reckless - controlling - I'll - beat - rip - right - apart!" Ue-Drako tried to shout at each other, garbled as they wrestled for control. The struggle brought them to their knees, panting once again.

This is your fault, you horrid beast! I will kill you for this - this dishonor!

"My fault!" the creature laughed. "Oh, please explain how this is all my fault!"

You intervened in my revenge scheme! If you had just...

And Ue-Drako stilled, realizing what was happening. Realizing only half the conversation had been communicated out loud.

Feckless weakling. Now you invade my mind, as well?

Thoughts raced and swirled, competing for attention, and a headache roared to life in Ue-Drako, bringing them to one solidifying, unifying thought.

I cannot be stuck with you.

Ue-Drako attemped to run away from itself again. Limbs criss-crossed, and Ue-Drako thudded to the ground. For a single body cannot run away from itself. The creature's eyes closed in exhaustion and despair.

It was the new start to a very difficult partnership of two creatures become one that had never been working together in the first place. This was going to take a long, long time for them to figure out.

I've finally finished Sherry's brother!!
