Odd Encounters

[Ricia]

He smiled and turned around, still holding the boy in his arms. The boy was sending Zek some rather mean looks, Roen wasn't exactly getting pleasant looks either.


"My name is Ryuk. You've already meet Master Cyrus. You fight rather well for something I sometimes have for dinner myself. I was surprised to see dragons as well. Its been a long time since i've seen them." He said it pleasantly and with a rather nice smile. Roen huffed a bit.


Rhea seem to have a moment, "Ah Shania... he reminds me of those deer people we saw once... before we got on the ship to sail over here." Rhea said taking hold of Shania's sleeve.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"A faun? no he'd have been slaughtered long before his antlers grew," Shania said and shook her head "I'm gonna go drown my head,"


Zek rolled his eyes "I'm a fair healer," he told the deer.

 

[Ricia]

"Do you mind if Master Cyrus plays with the other children?" Ryuk asked before he set down the boy.


"I don't think so..." Rhea said, though she jogged over to go see if Shania was ok, touching her back gently.


Cyrus ran to go to Skysong and Soki after Ryuk spoke to him in another language. Cyrus looked at both the kids before he waved at them a bit shyly.


Ryuk smiled at the boy before he looked at Zek, "I'm curious to know what Royalty does so far from his kingdom. Out in the middle of the forest and with someone like Shania with a small herd of almost extinct species. This is a very curious sight."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Zek looked shocked "My wings aren't showing are they!?" he looked to see them still effectivly hid. "I am supposed to be hidden... oh well, we are reviving the lost species,"


Soki was still groggy having just Woke up but Skysong smiled and waved back at the other boy.


"I'm ok, just a bit stunned... not often deer ram me into trees my pride it's bleeding," Shania laughed.

 

[Ricia]

"No. I take it you might never have heard of me, my people. There is only a few books on us and we are a very rare sight." Ryuk said, "I am a Galvent. A Demi-God of sorts."


Roen shifted and replayed the information to Rhea as he spoke.


Cyrus looked down at the ground blushing a bit. He ran off a bit and picked a flowed before he came back of offered it to Sky.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Skysong giggled but took the flower "thank you," she smiled.


"... a what?" Zek asked. "ok tell me as I see to your injuries," he had the galvent sit so he could look for all the injuries.


Shania smiled "go visit with the deer i know you are curious,"

 

[Ricia]

Rhea smiled back before she jogged back over to sit next to Zek, greeting him.


"I'm created to bond with anything that can make a decision." Ryuk started, "I am 1 of 150 of our species. Born under the Goddess of Aura. From the Tree of Life. So that is one of the great tree's name, we just call it... home." Ryuk said, "Every Galvent is a different animal, I am one of a kind. Master Cyrus is my current bond. I actually found him half dead, I bonded with him in an attempt to save his life. It was hard to communicate with him at first... hes a complete wild child." He looked at Cyrus and smiled when the boy seem to look excited at the thanks.


Rhea smiled, "Wow.. that sounds a bit amazing.."


"Yes, we are amazing, though in the wrong hands can be the opposite." Ryuk said, "I am nothing but a mere slave to my master. I can not be master less or I will die. I follow orders when commanded and fly into a furry when my master is in danger. I can't think beyond his safety."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"That is not so amazing.. must be rather... caged," Zek said and began to heal him. "My magic is bit depleted but i can heal these no problem, I warn your master as well that both those children are dragons, the littlest one is a hatchling not even old enough hunt on his own, Aria is protective I also warn you she may try to adopt your master seems she adores children,"

 

[Ricia]

"Well I know nothing else in my life except the first 18 years of my life. I don't mind this life so much." Ryuk said, and it seem to be truth, "There are other Galvents who are sour about how we are... one is a legend to us, who had killed two of the most evil of our gods to win us more freedom." Ryuk said with a smile.


Rhea frowned, she had to agree with Zek, it must suck to be traped like that...


"I figure that out... but I think it will be fine. Master Cyrus can't communicate well. He speaks to the trees...." Ryuk said, "Thank you, for the healing. I think it would do Master good to have a mother figure, however I don't know if you would want us with you on your travels."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"we are a rather odd group already but it's up to Rhea Roen and you of course," Zek said pulling away when he had heale the injuries "did i miss any?"

 

[Ricia]

"You've done enough, what injuries I still have will heal over night. Nothing a good meal or sleep will bring back to me." He said with a nod.


Rhea looked to Roen and then seem to silently converse with each other before Roen turned to Aria to speak to her since she didn't speak Common. "The child name is Cyrus. He doesn't speak any humanoid languages.... That man is Ryuk, a kind of guardian Demi-god. They don't really have anywhere to go and Rhea thinks it would be good for the kid to be around others like him. I told her I wanted your opinion." Roen said.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"The child is harmless enough demi-gods scare me but he's a deer if he threatens us we can eat him right?" Aria asked Roen.


Shania chuckled and plopped onto the grass. "Rhea go back to sleep and make the kids go too, or they will be dead tiered tomorrow,"

 

[Ricia]

"I don't think it would be so easy. He did pretty well holding his own against Shania and Zek at the same time." Roen said lowering his head to Aria.


Rhea looked at Shania with a pout. She wanted to stay up.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Shania laughed at Rhea and smiled "do as you like but you are dealing with the tiered kids tomorrow,"


"Shania and Zek are not dragons," Aria said, "we are,"

 

[Ricia]

Rhea sighed and got up, "Come on Sky... time to go back to bed." She said before leaning down to pick up Soki from her arms.


Ryuk smiled and called to Cyrus to come to him. The boy looked at skysong and Soki one last time before he came running to the deer man.


Roen nodded at Aria before laying down in the ground, placing his head next to her.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Aria broke her glamour so she could lay with Roen and be comfortable.


Shania looked at Cyrus, "that boy is sort of cute,"

 

[Ricia]

Ryuk smiled, "He is sweet. He is really shy with people.... he use to only trust the trees.... but once he opens up, he opens with all his heart. We grew fast together once we got past the wall of uncertainty." Ryuk started to pet the boys hair.


Roen touched necks with Aria and wrapped a wing over her.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Aria pressed her nose to his neck affectionaty and folded her wings tight against her back.


"I see..." Shania said "so tell me what o you mean by grow together?"

 

[Ricia]

"I'm bound to him... as a slave if you will. There are levels of power that he achieves through personal and emotional growth. My power grows through his." Ryuk explained. Cyrus seems to start to doze off.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I wish I had that kind of connection then again... I'd pity the poor sod bound to me," Shania laughed.


"Never was much for slaves even if it is a demi god," Zek said

 

[Ricia]

"I have to do everything I am told if ordered, you want to be controled?" He asked Shania. "Or are you saying you want to be the on to control?" Ryuk asked calmly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I said I wanted the conection not the controlling or in control part," Shania said "not many people actually open to me Rhea... is a wonder... she opened from the start,"

 

[Ricia]

Ryuk smiled, "Sorry, that is how the bond works. I don't usually feel anything extra except the accidental spike in emotion."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Shania shrugged "Suprised you noticed princy boy, but not me... makes me think I might not be as well known as I once thought," she looked at him "I am also suprised I've not hear of Galvents, I've been alot of places,"

 

[Ricia]

"I noticed you. I pointed you out specificity along with Prince Zek. What I find peculator is the random human with no tittle." Ryuk said, "Also the closest you might ever come to hearing us is if you were to listen to old stories of a cavren or coming across one personally. Even then most can meet us and never know what we are."
