Odd Encounters

[InsaneTruth]

"I will stay on the ground with the young ones," Aria said and nosed Soki.


Soki hummed softly and pounced Aria's nose.

 

[Ricia]

Roen nodded and flew off back to the tower. when he came back he had in his claws the saddle, he slid it on his back as Rhea came close to him to attached everything where it belonged. The strops around his belly and the metal plate across his chest.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Zek smiled and watched.


Shania rolled to her side to watch Rhea attache the saddle.

 

[Ricia]

Rhea actually took a few things out of the bags before getting onto Roen, making him much lighter. She hooked on the necessary straps to herself since her was planning on doing some rather extreme maneuvers. She could do them without the saddle but safety would always to be good, she was not one that had to prove her skill. Lastly, she put her goggles on before waving at Shania with a smile.


Roen jumped up in two large bound and took off, trying to stay even with Rhea on his back. He flew to the city and tilted himself slightly and they started to turn back to the tower though they were still ascending into the sky. When she Roen circled the air a bit while Rhea took a look at the clouds and air currents before they dived to the ground and then rolled in the air, though they were nowhere near the ground before they ascended once more, catching a warm draft to help pull them up faster. Rhea leaned forward enough that she would press her face in Roen's neck, to help make them more aerodynamic.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Zek watched with intrest taking mental notes he himself could fly but he was not the fastest nor the most skilled so he liked to stuy birds and other such flying animals right now Roen reminded him of a eagle.

​

 

[Ricia]

Roen and Rhea continued on much like they did, the most impressive of maneuvers they did was when folded his wings into his side and dropped suddenly, opening his wings and recovering quickly. Most their maneuvers were meant to fight mid air, but they rarely ever did such things. Occasionally they would just fly in circles not really doing much. They did not really seem like they were showing off much but the occasional set of maneuvers, but Rhea was more enjoying flying. Though Roen wished Aria had flown with him.


You really like her. Rhea said quietly.


Its different .. have a dragon with you, i enjoy the company. He said in return.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Aria was watching as well she was more of a show off and if she were in the air she would be showing off but the young ones need looked after.

 

[Ricia]

It was not long till the landed, Though Roen landed softly hovering over the ground before landing on his hind legs and setting down on his paws.


Rhea unbelted herself and jumped off Roen happily, she did not take off her goggles yet, "That was much needed, I feel much more alive and energetic!" She said stretching.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Zek chuckled "you two make a good pair in the air. Roen you are a sight to behold thank you for letting me see,"

 

[Ricia]

Roen hummed at the praise and Rhea laughed as Zek tickled his pride. Zek really would make a good dragon tamer. "Roen does all the work, I just have to make sure I stay flat on the back, though when flying it is good for us to be melded, it helps me think for him while he does the muscle work."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Zek smiled at Rhea "yes I saw you looked quite happy as well I can fly but not nearly as well," he said and flexed his own wings.

 

[Ricia]

Rhea seem to look at Zek for a moment, as if it just clicked in her mind that he could fly. "I wish... I had wings..." She said, though it almost sounded like a pout.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"They are not always a blessing they are the most fragile part of me," Zek said "feel if you wish," he spread one wing his wing span was a good ten feel fully spread.

 

[Ricia]

Rhea gently touched the portion of his wing, gently running her fingers across the surface, Immediately comparing it to Roen or Aria's wings. "I would still wish to be able to fly.... I wish I was a dragon though, most of all." She said while feeling it slowly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Zeks wings were like him cool to the touch but soft fragile feeling the bone that held the wind was small and light barely strong enough to sustain him in flight. "I am content with what and who i am ... just not the cage it comes with."

 

[Ricia]

Rhea flashed him a small smile. She was happy for him, but that did not make her content with who she was. Frankly she didn't much like who she was currently... "They do feel fragile... but is the problem lie within your own bone mass?" She asked him.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I am small all my bones are small my body is light so it's not to bad," Zek said and folded his wing back "flight can be tiresome if I do it for long periods of time,"

 

[Ricia]

"I see... You could fly with SkySong." Rhea said, though it sounded more like to herself then to Zek.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"we have," Zek smiled "as far as we could tat is."


Shania sat up "this spell holding you here? well it's a pest,"

 

[Ricia]

Rhea nodded, "I agree... Though I can start messing with it... though I would fear saying I couldn't make things worse." She said with a laugh.


Roen snorted loudly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"why honestly didn't you just go to Numair and lie, tell him you are bound to the castle with Zek and are discontent he'll have to lift it," Shania said

 

[Ricia]

Rhea kind of stared at Shania.... she never thought of lying.... she naturally was a truth telling person. "W-we could do that.... too..." She said quietly.


"Rhea is a bad liar...' Roen said quietly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"then let Zek do it... politics you learn to lie well," Shania said


"She is right court teaches you to lie," Zek agreed.

 

[Ricia]

Rhea pressed her lips together, she did not really like to lie... perhaps Kurama could help teach her how to dance around the truth...

 

[InsaneTruth]

Shania looked at Rhea "you can lie can't you? I mean I'm really bad at it but if needed I can do it."
