Alister walked inside the near-empty bistro and stood at the front counter. Moments later, a tall man with short black hair and golden eyes walked out and smiled. “By best customer.”

“Hey Leo, how are you these days. And how are your mothers?” Alister asked. Leo was a strange being, even in the world of the Fae. He was a human child that was raised by a flock of a water nymph. By being in the realm of the Fae he became part Fae gaining the golden eyes that gave him impeccable sight. 

“WOW…what happen to your accent?” Leo stared at him big-eyed like a puppy begging for a treat.

“I needed a change of pace,” Alister said quietly. Leo noticed his reluctances to talked and smiled.

“Well, my mothers are fine. You should visit sometime they’re always asking about you, though if you came you might never leave or gain like 200 pounds,” Leo joked. 

“Yeah they do like to feed you till you drop dead,” Alister laughed, “well I’ll get the usual. Also, a weredragon is going to join be so just a heads up.”

“Have you gone soft? Did my ruthless teacher finally gone soft?” Leo laughed then quickly disappeared into the kitchen. He knew if he had stayed he would’ve gotten a face full of fist. Allister smiled and sat down by the window. He watched the road and sky with watchful eyes trying to catch any sign of drake like an impatient child.

Valeria thought for a long moment and smiled. “I guess you really can’t call me Fae anymore. Well back in my youth I was a succubus but over the few thousands of years that I’ve been alive. I’ve fed on all type of creatures gaining a part of their soul power. Most succubus would die if they fed too much but me and my sister found a loophole. And over the many years, I became what I am now.”

“And if you called my old I will turn your skin inside out and feed you a soup of your own limbs,” Valeria threatened, causing room filled with malice and the air to grow thick and heavy. 

“Just kidding I wouldn’t you promise.” The malice suddenly disappeared and the room went back to normal. She laughs then headed for the door. “Shall we get going? Oh JOEY put our drinks on my tab.”
