Odd Encounters

[Ricia]

Rhea blushed pretty hard, "I-I know.... I was worried Roen would not get along with Soki because Dragon are family oriented... they use to carry family names with honor, but because there are so few dragons... most grow without knowing their family. Ashwinters said he could not take care of it.... he said he was too old... he told me I remind him of the sea when we traveled together. I... don't know why he entrusted Soki to me... but I gave him a dragons word to take care of him."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I see, you are doing a good job but I'd not keep him here too long if it wouldn't break my heart to part with her I'd ask for you to take Sky with you this place is no longer safe," Zek said a bit sadly.

 

[Ricia]

Rhea looked up to Zek a bit shocked, "It... wouldn't be safe with me either." She told him, "I honestly... originally came her with the thought of leaving Soki with SkySong honestly... but I can no longer bear to part with him either... My promise to AshWinter was to find a safe place for Soki to grow... Why is it not safe here?" She asked him.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"the mages the leader had an orb around his neck that dispelled all magic... I only kn ow of on thing that can do that," Zek said "and I will not say it out loud you are smart enough to know what I mean,"

 

[Ricia]

"I see...." Rhea glanced at Roen and the dragon blinked, but no more. "Do you think it is the ones we are looking for? Or just a coincidence?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I have no proof to say they are but it is a possibility," Zek said and pet Skysong softly "if anyone dared harm her... I would use every ounce of my magic to make them suffer," Zek promised.

 

[Ricia]

Rhea sat quietly after that statement... what would she do if someone harmed Roen or worse... killed him? Rhea smiled... it wouldn't matter, she would be dead if Roen died, thats how their souls are melded, "Oh no... Zek, we need to get our souls separated... I just remembered, If Roen dies... I die with him. You would die too... and I have no idea how Skysong's soul would react to that chain...."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I have faith that with my magic Shnaia's sword and Kurama's blessing that it would take a collosal power to get close enough to harm either of you and if it does I am sure Roen can handle it if it gets to you both, Skysong is not soul connected to me but magic as I am to you it may damage me but I doubt I will die," Zek said

 

[Ricia]

Rhea thought about it for a moment, she guessed. Roen laughed loudly, "The munchkin is right, no one will kill me, I don't need all that to keep myself alive."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Zek raised an eyebrow "munchkin?" he asked with a small smirk.


Skysong curled into his lap though she was to big to completely fit on the small mage.

 

[Ricia]

"Anything smaller then me is a munchkin and also usually edible." Roen said with a dragon grin.


Rhea chuckled a bit too.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I'd give you heartburn," Zek commented. "or brainfreeze,"

 

[Ricia]

"Seem like near almost everything would give me some kind of poison to my body..." Roen said with a grunt.


Rhea shook her head, "Roens been on a people eating phase the last few days... I think hes is feuding over the Red Dragons still..."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I polish my nails in poison as a defense in case my magic fails," Zek said looking at his polished nails the black polish glittered lightly in the light. "Made the poison myself if I scratch myself my magic can negate the effects but only if I start to work immediately a few seconds would be all this poison needs to kill even me." He didn't seem too worried though

 

[Ricia]

Rhea made a face, that was a bit scary in her opinion... the fact you could accidentally kill yourself in a moment notice. "You are really prepared..." Was really all she could come up with. Roen chuckled.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Have to be I'm useless in frontal hand to hand combat my nails are my only defense I just made them stronger," Zek smiled "I've not nicked myself or anyone I've not meant to yet a few assassins lay dead though,"


"Zek you are a creepy little boy," Shania said.

 

[Ricia]

Rhea chuckled and Shania suddenly pipping up from where she was laying, "Nothing is really normal for me anymore." She said gently petting Soki in her own lap.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Soki hummed softly and nosed Rhea.


"I suppose not, three dragons around makes things a bit abnormal," Zek said.

 

[Ricia]

"I realize this... most people had never seen a dragon in their life... but I am surrounded by them daily... I would have it no other way." She told him happily.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"nor would I I am happy Banjii found Skysongs egg," Zek pet Sky softly

 

[Ricia]

Rhea smiled, it was fun to enthuse about dragons with some else who appreciated a dragons true beauty. Not many knew what the true beauty of a dragon way... they just saw them as magical parts or a threat to their land or livestock. "So what are we going to do about this spell?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Keep it a while," Zek said "we can study it perhaps," he said


Shania sighed "scholars,"

 

[Ricia]

Rhea crawled over to Shania and then put Soki close to Shania's face, "Soki Mama Shania is being a negative mama, I think you need to give her kisses to make her happy." She told the baby dragon. Truthfully Rhea was eager to remove the spell over Zek to go flying... and she kind of wished to go flying herself... She had not flow in what felt like forever, comfortably that is.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Soki pounced Shania on whip and she laughed as he nuzzled and loved on her.


Zek laughed "can I watch you fly?" he asked

 

[Ricia]

Rhea laughed a bit when Soki jumped on Shania, but then she looked to Zek a bit surprised, "Me and Roen?" She asked him.


Roen's tail lashed, "It is almost as if you read Rhea's mind. She was just thinking how much she wished to fly at the moment. The week before here was harsh and no time for an enjoyable flight. Aria would you like to fly? Rhea and I will more likely do some hard aerobatics."
