Nova blushed as she heard Valken's response to her hateful words. To make it worse Ishmael apologized for her. The sad part was he was right. Her anger had built up towards the witch and it had exploded into something ugly. In all truth she was no better then her. She bowed her head towards him. "I am sorry, I did not mean to insult your mother."

 Hotaru looked to the boy she was with and gave him a little smile. "Let's go stand by Ishmael and Valken okay?" She said. The little kid known as Danny looked at Valken and was a bit unsure about it "Are you sure it's safe? He is a demon like the monsters that killed my parents?" He responded. She looked up at Valken and then back to the little boy and simply replied. " Yes and No, yes he is a demon and no he is not like those who killed your parents, you can tell that by his behavior. Look he has behaved far better then most humans that I have meet." She answered. The boy simply nodded with a "if you say so" in response. She then hurried up to push her self between Valken and Ishmael. She did it so that Danny would be closer to Ishmael then Valken. She then smiled and wondered about him a little. "So your mother is a Dark Witch? The way you described he she seemed rather gentle."
