Dark looked at her. "What?"

Back in his room, Thaddious sits down. "Well, as you know, I'm only half Dragon....the other half of me isn't exactly human either....but that's not the really important part." His tattoos begin to shift restlessly. "The power inside me is too strong for my body to contain....it began to take a physical form...." he gestured to his tattoos. "This is literally my soul. But...it's divide. The power was so strong, it shattered my soul into twelve pieces, six dragon and six....something else. Three of each became Evernight, who still wants to kill me. The other six are generally still held within me, but sometimes four of them take their own physical forms....they have minds of their own. My problem is....with Evernight out there, I can't control him....and he'd give anything to have me dead."
