Tell me a short story about them!: (Xerxes POV!) It was very cold. That is the clearest thing I can remember from that night. It was snowing hard and I was on my way home from the store when I felt something run into my side, knocking the wind out of me. When I managed to catch my breath, I noticed a pair of toxic pink eyes staring back at me from a pile of snow on the other side of the road. "Sorry, I didn't see you there." a voice hissed from the same location as the eyes. I nodded in understanding, walking over to the pile of snow. "Very well, but why do you not come out of there? It is quite cold and you will become ill if you stay out here too long." I said, watching the eyes narrow in distrust. "So? It's not like I have anywhere else to go. They think I'm cursed." he said before stepping out of the deep snow. Taking in his appearance and unusual salamander-like markings I decided that this boy was in desperate need of a friend, something I could easily provide. "Well cursed or not I cannot in good conscience leave you to freeze out here. How about you come and stay with me for a while? There is plenty of room and I'm rather lonely all by myself." I said, giving him a gentle smile. He looked shocked but gave me an affirmative nod. "A-alright, but I think you'll regret it!" he said, falling into step beside me. "It is possible but very unlikely. You remind me much of myself and I think we'll get on just fine." I said, as a dark smirk made it's way onto my face. "Oh yes, we will get alone very nicely indeed. So tell me little cursed salamander, what is your name?" he stared deep into my eyes for several seconds before some of the tension began to leave his body. "Poison. My name is Poison"
