[Author's Note: This is the first chapter of a few I plan on writing that rehash Dyon's first meetings with Jade. The italics represent sections taken verbatim from previous chapters I've written while the normal text are new and represent how matters play out from Jade's perspective. It'll be an interesting ride to see just how Jade went from pure hearted young woman to murderer and just what role Dyon played…]

Dyon smiled a warm smile, "Hello."

The beauty smiled, looking down.

Dyon tilted his head in confusion until he noticed a distinct breeze and his lack of pants. He chuckled, "You're quite bold, Silver Fairy. I'm quite happy to be here for your viewing p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e."

The girl's light laughter filled the library's roof top as the last light of Dyon's aurora faded out of existence.

"Are you even aware of the commotion you just caused?" Her voice was light and inviting, still carrying a hint of amus.e.m.e.nt.

Dyon stood, causing the girl's curious eyes to scan him once again as he slid on a new pair of sweats, lamenting the fact he had lost a pair until he realized he could just make new ones with his 5th stage aurora.

Dyon chuckled to himself, 'Using array alchemy to make sweatpants? Who would have thought?"

"What commotion was that?" Dyon asked, curious as to what she meant.

The silver haired beauty didn't seem to be paying attention as she studied Dyon's handsome face. Suddenly she started as she noticed his ears were distinctly human.

"You're human… It's rare to see someone as handsome as you even in our kingdom, I didn't expect that," She said with a smile that seemed to outshine everything else.

Dyon could still feel endless heat coming off of himself, so he forewent the shirt and instead sat on another array, facing the beauty.

"Elves really are a beautiful race," He said softly. Dyon was imperceptibly radiating a domineering will. Usually the silver-haired girl wouldn't be so bold, but Dyon's demonic will was affecting her emotions without her realizing.

The girl shook her head gently as Dyon thought about how beautiful Madeleine would be when she reached her age. He shivered in excitement.

"You're looking at me but thinking of someone else?" The girl's lips pouted slightly. She was quite adorable.

Dyon chuckled, "A woman's intuition is truly something else… or does it have to do with your cultivation?"

The girl smiled mysteriously, "Why don't you tell me about her?"

Jade's opal eyes swirled with beautiful colors, blinking as she awaited Dyon's answer. She found this human quite interesting. Despite his words making him seem like a playboy, she could see into his mind quite easily. As such, she knew quite well that even if she made the first move, this mysterious young man would reject her for the sake of the woman he was thinking of now.

This made Jade incredibly curious. Not only was she a beauty by human standards, but even within the Elvin Race, aside from maybe some ladies of the d.e.s.i.r.e-filled Norville family, none could match her looks. In fact, she could see the image of the woman within this mysterious man's thoughts right now. Although she was truly beautiful, she had yet to m.a.t.u.r.e, being only about 15 years old. As such, it was impossible for her to match Jade as things stood now.

'Could there really be such a pure hearted man?' Jade thought, her heart beat involuntarily quickening as she looked into the mysterious young man's hazel-green eyes.

Dyon smiled, thinking back to the elegant young lady. Her brunette hair in a bun and her crystal framed glasses accenting her shimmering golden eyes, "I'm quite conflicted. My mother always taught me to never speak of another woman in front of one. But, she also taught me to never disappoint a lady. What do you think I should do?"

"Your mother sounds like a woman that managed to be your father's only wife. I would have liked to meet her." She said with sympathy in her eyes.

Dyon smiled, becoming even more intrigued by this woman. How could she read him so well? How did she know that his mother wasn't alive to meet?

Jade's sympathy wasn't faked. She truly felt her heart ache. Despite Dyon's nonchalant mentioning of his mother, she could clearly feel the pang in his heart when she was mentioned.

This was a kind of pain Jade was all too familiar with. Although she herself hadn't faced any hardship in her life, the pain of others always became her own. Right now, it was as if it was her who lost her parents and not Dyon.

As for Jade's parents, those so-called Clan Members of hers tried to hide it, but she was well aware that her parents were long gone. They tried to keep her mentally stable by giving her those phony foster parents, but her abilities were far beyond even what they thought. She had long since seen through them, she could also see how they used her as nothing but a tool…

"You would be quite a scary wife to have. How would anyone keep anything from you?" An interested glint flashed in Dyon's eyes.

"It would depend on whether that person made me love them enough to not worry about their flaws, no?" She said with a light smile.

'Looks like I won't win a war of words with her…' Dyon thought with a small smile.

Jade's smile bloomed when she heard Dyon's thoughts.

'We're so compatible in the way we think…' She couldn't help but think to herself. 'We're both witty and playful in our word choice. Plus he's so handsome…' Jade shook her head. 'Listen to yourself Jade Eostre, l.u.s.ting after a 14-year-old boy when you're already 18 this year…'

However, that odd d.e.s.i.r.e seeded in Jade's heart. She hadn't realized that not only had Dyon's pain over the loss of his parents become her own, but she mistook the love Dyon held in his heart for Madeleine, for love she felt toward Dyon…
