[color=a0410d]"The bridge between Djinn and the water spirits has long since been eroded by a river of blood. As a child I watched it be torn apart by war, and I've made it my life's work to rebuild it; no matter how long it takes me.[/color]" Argus said bitterly, [color=a0410d]"This world, for all its chaos and hatred, is one worth caring about. One worth saving. It's taken as much from my people as from any other, but I've never lost faith that it can be made better."[/color]

He glanced over at Amaya, wearing a sympathetic smile, [color=a0410d]"Djinn are like chameleons. We can change ourselves to appear fully human, even alter our hair, eye, and skin color if we want. That ability is the one thing that has allowed us to survive. Even in our own city we wear human faces, so any who somehow finds their way to us will not know our true nature. You know the truth, though. A life in hiding is no life at all. It is an endless wait for someone to discover your secret."[/color]

The agent chuckled, [color=a0410d]"A memory thief in a car with an inheritor of memories. Our races really are polar opposites, aren't they?"[/color] Argus let out a contented sigh, [color=a0410d]"This agency is the best thing to happen to me in a very long time. It gives me opportunities to build bridges, new and old, that I never would have had if I'd been able to stay with my own kind. Give it time Amaya, you'll see. We have to make hard choices sometimes, but in the end we're really trying to make the world better -and safer- for everyone. So maybe one day we won't have to hide anymore. The world will be ready for us eventually. Just gotta give it time and keep fighting to achieve that dream."[/color]
