Shyvana sighed as she walked the lonely streets of Demacia. Where the streets were usually bustling with life, the knight had all driven them to their homes. It seemed the Half-Dragon was alone. Shyvana herself was simply dressed in her usual attire, minus her helmet, her scarlet hair allowed to hang long down her back in her usual pony-tail.
The Half-Dragon continued to walk, her golden eyes flickering slightly in the darkness. She used this time to clear her thoughts, or take care of her bent up rage, but it seemed Shyvana was calm for now. Her hands gripped around her gauntlets.. when a scream caught her ear. Instantly, the Half-Dragon ran off in that direction. A woman was being robbed by man.
Shyvana's eyes narrowed as she approached the man, glaring at him. The man turned to face her and color drained from his face, realizing who she was. But he was obviously desperate, or just stupid, for he slipped a knife from his pocket and stabbed Shyvana
However, the blade simply broke against her tough skin... he only succeeded in making Shyvana angry, and that was clearly visible. Shyvana removed one of her gauntlets and grasped the man by the throat, lifting him in the air with one arm.
"Out of my sight" She growled before tossing the man aside "NOW!" The man scrambled to his feet and took off running as fast as he could. The woman looked at Shyvana, the look of fear still on her face. Shyvana turned to her and went to speak, but the noble woman simply pleaded for her to be unharmed before she too ran off.
Shyvana glared after the woman.. sometimes she didn't even know why she bothered helping these weak humans. "Because Prince Jarvan would do the same.." Shyvana's conscious told her. The Half-Dragon let out an annoyed sigh and shook her head before simply continuing her walk
Her boots thunking softly against the stone walk-way of the Demacian streets...
around the corner, not even half a blocks distance from where Shyvana had rescued an ungrateful Noble, another lone figure would walk. Those who lingered would move away from the unfamiliar figure, not knowing who or what she could be. Golden eyes made it clear she was likely not human, at least not fully. Speculation could pin her as many things, all of which went unanswered by the Dragoon as she made her way down the street. A man began to follow behind her having taken notice of her armor. It was evident she was from Ionia, and not native to Valoran in the slightest. Chances were, she probably just happened into Demacia. But was that really the case?
Demacia was a strict city. It had rules that put all other places to shame. So strict, the punishment for minor crimes was often severe. However Yukiko was not one to stand by as she was stalked. Particularly as the man would lunge at her with a knife from behind. She felt the blade pierce the thick leather armor, and cut deep into her back. The Dragoon turned, drawing a single katana and in one swift motion, the man's body would be sliced in half and left where it fell. Yukiko flicked her blade to rid it of blood, before smoothing it against a cloth and returning it easily into the sheath it had been drawn from. The sheath itself returned to her belt beside the smaller blade behind it.
She reached back, and ripped the blade from her back, tossing it to the ground with a light clatter. For the moment, she ignored the wound. To show weakness was disgraceful. She would not be hindered publicly.
Shyvana simply kept on walking.. her thoughts else where.. until.. no.. it couldn't be. Shyvana quickly spun around as a smell she hadn't smelt in a long.. long time, reached her nose. Another dragon? Here? In Demacia? Her golden eyes narrowed in fury at the gall of a dragon hunting her in her own city-state. Another smell soon hit Shyvana's nose.. blood. This seemed to anger her even further, that a dragon would spill the blood of her people.
Shyvana took off in the direction of the smells, rounding the corner after a few blocks. She discovered the body of a slain man.. cut in two.. but no dragon. Shyvana's eyes quickly darted all around her, she was now on edge. That's when she was the back of a woman.. perhaps she saw something. Shyvana quickly caught up with her... and then stopped dead in her tracks after she was merely ten feet from the woman.
The smell of the dragon.. it was growing stronger the closer Shyvana got to this woman.. by the look of her armor, it seemed she was Ionian. "You." She called out to the woman, was Shyvana's sense of smell betraying her? Or could this really be another Half-Dragon.. "Who are you.."
Yukiko slowed. A scent caught her attention, though she wouldn't seem to react. However as the voice reached her, the Dragoon stopped in her tracks and slowly looked over her shoulder. Golden eyes settled upon Shyvana, with the rest of her face concealed beneath the dragon helm, and the cloth that hung over her lower face. She said nothing at first, then slowly turned to examine Shyvana.
Shyvana should have seen the wound in her back. Blood seeped through the leather armor Yukiko wore, dripping into the grip of the naginata she wore clipped to her back. She stood quietly again, before responding with an even tone. No fear, no anger. She seemed unconcerned, or simply didn't care enough. She was a Warrior of Ionia. Nothing else mattered.
"Kobayashi, Yukiko." She introduced herself. Here, in Valeron, her name was pretty well unknown. Except those who might have been caught up in The Fleshing 17 years ago. Her name was bounced around from that time. The half-dragon. The Ionian Dragoon. A warrior class that was unique to her. It's entirely possible Shyv never heard of her.
Shyvana narrowed her eyes slightly, noticing the wound, she looked back at the slain man. Putting two and two together, Shyvana spoke. "Even if you were attacked by that man, do refrain from spilling the blood of my people.." Shyvana's voice was low, universally flat toned, except for the growling that highlighted it with every word she spoke.
Shyvana sniffed the air one more time... the scent was strong. She narrowed her eyes again. "Remove your helmet." Shyvana said flatly.
She had to be sure...

"I will not." Replied the woman. "I have introduced myself. You will do the same, less you wish this conversation to be over." The Dragoon said evenly in response. Her hands rested at her sides to show she was no threat as of yet. If Shyvana wanted to push her, however, she would not hesitate to respond in turn. For the moment, she was calm, and even toned.
Shyvana's eyes narrowed at the woman's insubordination, having half a mind to command her to do so, or face her gauntlets. However, Shyvana crossed her arms, examining the woman with her golden eyes. "Need I remind you, you are in my city..." The growling in Shyvana's voice seem to be more intense as she spoke this. "However, I will comply with your request, if only to sate my own curiosity.."
"My name is Shyvana..." Shyvana paused for a moment "The Half-Dragon."

She didn't seem to change in the slightest. Not but a slight shift in her eyebrow would indicate she had heard Shyvana clearly as she told her a name. With her fist resting into her palm, she bowed lightly, "I know this name." She explained, "You are a League Champion. The only other known Half-Dragon in Runeterra." She didn't seem worried about Shyvana's clear agitation, or what she might be capable of. In fact, she seemed.. well.. like she did when first they met. Her worries stilled, and her focus cleared.
That should confirm her suspicions. The only other known half-dragon. Yukiko unclipped the cloth that hung across her lower face, and pulled the helmet off to allow for her long, dark brown locks to tumble across her shoulders. She was most certainly Ionian. If the armor hadn't given the fact away, her features would. Paled skin contrasted well with intense golden eyes as they gazed upon Shyvana simply.
Shyvana's eye-brow raised as the woman said the "other" Half-Dragon.. only when the helmet came off did Shyvana seem... surprised. Shyvana had believed herself to be the only Half-Dragon in Runeterra. It was unbelievably rare for another dragon to mate with a human.. though rare, did not mean impossible. "What.. kind of dragon are you?"
Yukiko held the helm against her hip as Shyvana widened her eyes in surprise. That was a typical reaction, though seeing it from another half-dragon was a bit unexpected. Still, it made sense.
"Wind." She responded plainly. "I am a Dragoon Warrior of Ionia."
"The Ionia part was clear enough." Shyvana replied, folding her arms over her chest, scanning the other Half-Dragon were golden eyes. "What brings you to Demacia?" She then said flatly, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.
"Supplies." She said simply. Yukiko had no intention of revealing her connection to Demacia. Rather, the person that had brought her here unknowingly. She studied Shyvana's body language, and the flattened tone of her voice, taking notice of rather blatant differences in their demeanor alone. Shyvana was far more temperamental, while Yukiko was calm, and calculated. They were nearly polar opposites in that sense.
"I am looking for an Inn to stay for the night." She would say, keeping golden eyes calmly settled upon Shyvana.
