meeting someone new (shi)

Dust sat alone in the forest eyes closed and hand on a pendent, since he first woke up he figured out how to engage Digivolution but this first one seemed so natural to him it was easy to go right to, he wondered why it was so natural to be in this form, was this the form he normally took when he was alive last. Dust still had no idea who he was but the initial headache he had before was gone so that was a bonus, the pendent was broken but had the words Du on the side of it, this increased his idea that his name was Dust, given this seemed to be his pendent. Dust started wondering why he knew words and terms for things but not whole memories, this alone irked him a great deal since he just kept getting bits and pieces of what he could possible call his last life, given the chance he was alive before all this, why he was in a egg and why he hatched were lost on him.

Dust gripped the pendent tightly a bit mad at himself for not knowing who he was, it was beyond his power to control whatever happened but he still wondered if there was something he could of done, some question he could ask himself to light up the memories in his mind, but alas no questions were there, any question got no answer and normally added more questions, another fact that made him mad at himself for doing. With a heavy sigh he opened his eyes seeing the same forest he woke up in, the quiet assisted him in his thinking a great deal but if he was to learn anything he would have to move, in a few minutes.

Dust didn't know it himself but he was actually hard to track, by Digimon or by things meant to track him, this is why he wasn't surprised when he felt something nearby but it didn't seem to notice him, was it another like him? This hadn't happened when that person Zeki  approached the only reason he found them was because they were staring at him, something the fighter in him noticed. Dust stood up looking around a bit keeping his back to the large tree trunk looking around cautiously, he didn't know why he did this but he felt it was better to be safer rather then get attacked by someone you didn't know, he thought about setting a fire pillar around him so he could notice where the other was but decided against it, attacking someone randomly wasn't who he was, or at least who he thought he was.

Dust kept his eyes closed and hoped his strange ability to be hard to track would let the digimon walk right past, he wasn't in the mood for dealing with something, digimon or no. Dust held in his breath and waited, his hand was on the trunk of the tree a small symbol being etched in there but not complete, should the force be hostile this would ensure he would be able to escape.

Dust wanted to let out a sigh but he couldn't, he wasn't detected yet maybe he could still get out of this one without getting seen, that would be nice. Dust wondered exactly what this Digimon was doing digging in the ground like that, was something under there? Did he just not like the tree? Dust questioned this as he dashed forward setting his hand on the ground and setting a fire pillar symbol on it, if the digimon pursued him and ran over this they'd most likely be set of fire, not the way Dust would like to do thing but he had no idea if this thing was just a feral beast or if it had intellect, both would be bad.

Dust would get to another tree and hide behind that one, hopefully out of sight out of mind, he was a bit worried about setting things on fire but the pillar normally only set anything within the seal on fire so he was good on that part.

Dust looked back and let out a small sigh of relief, that thing got what it came for now for it to leave so Dust could return to his thoughts and be in peace, but things never worked out like that huh. With a snap of his fingers he disengaged the trap not wanting anyone to step on it and get engulfed in fire, he didn't know how it felt but the common sense in him said it was most likely bad. Dust stayed where he was silently hoping they would leave, Dust decided to set no more traps however, unless he was seen or heard he would be safe until they decided to. Wait a minute why was this Digimon here? That person Zeki said Digimon were not common so why was one here in the forest, was it like Dust or was there something else going on.

Dust let out a soft sigh as he sat down, looks like that digimon wasn't going to go anywhere for the time being, just his luck. Dust lifted his hand and snapped his fingers causing a small fireball to be created just above the tip of his finger, he had no idea how he could do this, it was muscle memory or something but it came easily to him, was he a fighter before losing his memory, if so what type of fighter, a good one, a knight, a mercenary? Dust had no idea, he threw the small fireball resulting in a small explosion, he was tired of being sneaky and figured that glutton was to busy eating to pay attention to the Impmon.

It would appear that finally caught some attention and Dust was a little annoyed at himself for ruining his hiding place, he mentally scolded himself before standing up and walking out from the tree, surly that newcomer wasn't so bad to attack Dust simply because of a small explosion. "Calm down I'm no threat." Dust said as he came out of hiding, he noticed the defensive stance the newcomer took, the fighter in the back of his mind kept thinking of ways to use Fire Pillar and Apocalypse to his advantage but he decided to refrain from using these skills if possible, all this one knew of Dust was he could make something explode, no need to give them a upper hand by attacking first, should a fight become what is needed. "You're a Digimon correct, why are you here?" Dust asked since he hadn't seen another before this, they didn't seem normal to this world.

Dust looked in the direction of the voice. "Who was that?" Dust asked wondering who's voice that was, it sounded feminine to him, which was weird because he had no idea what that word really meant, this was mostly because he had no idea what genders were despite always absentmindedly referring to himself as male. Dust decided he should just wait for whoever that was, this Digimon answered one question in his mind, now it was confermed that Dust was a Digimon and he was using that term right, that was one answer he really wanted to know right off the bat, now for whoever that was, he hoped at least a few of his questions could find answers.
