"I'd rather talk inside. It's kind of hot out here, which makes it uncomfortable in this armor."
"I thought so too. After all, you can't sign something without actually having it in front of you."
"That happened after the war, but keldon nowadays are born with wings. We initially lost our wings due to divine intervention from the gods."
"He kept going on about a contract that he claims Arisa signed, but she never saw it before she saw him."
"It seemed like he knew too much."
"That's right. The keldon hated the humans after the war of Tziah. The humans pretty much decimated the keldon and it took centuries to recover."
"No, we were talking the one who told her about the test. His name was Pharos."
"That's not it. My mother and father raised me. That law was probably thrown out before I was born. If not, I'm sure my father was a noble of some sort, as black wings normally signify keldon nobles."
"Arisa and I were just having a conversation."
"It because half-bloods develop what is called a Sanrei, which is keldon for blood demon. From what I read in this book, in the past, any keldon that either fathered or gave birth to a half-blood was executed, and the child was left to die. For some reason, that didn't happen to me, though."
"Still, when people called me a demon child, they were right. Do you know why there aren't many half-bloods?"
"Hope we didn't keep you waiting too long."
Michael smiled. "Thanks."
"I kind of doubt it. Most keldon hate me, as well as most humans. Nobody would want to be with a freak like me."
Hattori picked Kyo up and followed Arisa.
"I've been through the same thing as the boy you've mentioned. I really regret not telling my friend how I truly felt about her. I still love her, but I know we can never be together. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever find someone else to love as much as her."
"Sorry, we're on our way."
"He probably was in love with you, but was too scared to tell you how he really felt about you."
"I've got the feeling only he knows the answer, but he probably won't tell us."
"I got called names like that, all because I'm a half-blood. For some reason, when I got older, nobody called me names anymore. They were scared to."
