I look around, the place looked like a sad drunken bar. The air smelled foul. I try to keep a straight face without hurling. I look for the man in charge. I see a man at the head of the bar. The man that fits the description. He was a frost demon. His hair was an icy blue and he wore a black cloak. He had an eyepatch. I walk over to him.

"You must be Jin Zia." He said. 

"And you are?" I asked. 

"Taio." Taio answered. 

"Do you know why I'm here?" 

"Yeah. There are fire demons here. I've seen them." 

"Really? Why would they come here of all places?"

"Alloria." 

"You know that name?"

"Everyone does." 

Can't argue with that. I felt a tug on my cape. I looked down. I see a boy. A boy who was blue and had one eye. An ice cyclops. I've never seen one before. I've heard of them. He was wearing a blue outfit. His pants were baggy. He wore a straw hat. 

"Hello." I say. 

"Are you Jin Zia?" He asks. 

"Yes."

"Can you sign my notebook? I'm a big fan." He said.

I nod. I don't know if I've had a fan before. I take the notebook. I sign it with my name and a note. 

"Be strong, be kind, and be honest." I wrote. 

A simple rule my father taught me. My...human father. It's a lesson I keep close. 

"Can you tell me a story about how you fought the three eyed serpent?" He asked. 

"I..." I start. 

"Leave him be Chio. Your mothers calling you." Taio said. 

Chio nodded he smiled at me and walked away. 

"Cute kid." I say. 

"Forgive my son."

"Your son?"

"Yes. I found him as a baby in the woods. Alloria led me to him." 

I nod. 

"Can I get you anything?"

"A room please." I say. 

He nods. 

"Follow me." Taio said.
