He managed a nervous smile for Aori.

"....something peaceful. No more fighting, no more chaos. I can be my own man again, be under the burden of no other creature. My life...this life...is my own, and your world sounds like the kind of place i would be drawn to. I'm coming Aori. Coming to see your rainbows..."

By now Aori was well below him, circling down through the clouds. The half-man, half-mist Cumulus looked down upon the beauty of Air and its occupants, and found he was not content. What burden had he shed? What had he meant by "this life." Though he had spoken the words, as naturally as breathing in the purity of Air, he had no idea from where inside them they came, or what deeper meaning he could not grasp. There was still a battle to fought, still chaos to threaten the order he craved. With a pained expression, he steeled himself for what he now had to do. Slowly, he allowed the darker clouds sheathing his right arm to swirl away and dissappate. He looked down sideways through narrowed eyes, turning in revulsion at the scars reforming, scars which he somehow expected though they startled him. As quickly as he turned away his arm was covered once more by a small cloud, and his eyes blazed in electrical fury.

"SHOW YOURSELF!! MURDERERER!! DECEIVER!!! BETRAYER!!

Was that you tormenting me earlier? Or some other evil? Perhaps another you deceived into your group of followers? Deluded fool or darkling survivalist, SHOW YOURSELLLLLFF!!!!!"

Cumulus spread wide his arms, all clouds in his immediate vicinity parting and darkening. Once more, lightning danced across his fingertips. Before him, his instincts proved both impressively true and tragically false. For though he indeed was not alone, the wonderous white dragon was no enemy. Treva, his cover now gone froze. The peaceful creature would not harm anyone without provocation but, as Cumulus slammed his fists together and cast a thick bolt of electricity surging toward him, lack of provocation was hardly an issue....
