Odd Encounters

[InsaneTruth]

"Thats true I supose," Shania said "I don't go around people much anyway and the nameless human is Rhea, she's bonded to the big red dragon,"

 

[Ricia]

"Bonded you say? She's no Galvent however." Ryuk said curiously, "I suppose there are all sorts of bonds in this world. You said you were out to revive a dying species?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Dragons," Shania told him "we are trying to bring them to their former glory,"

 

[Ricia]

"I see." Ryuk said, "define former glory." The Galvent said. He actually reached up to on of the feathers handing from his antlers and tapped it with his finger, it started to twist and turned and he seem to watch it out of the corner of his eye. Cyrus was not pretty dead asleep leaning against the mans chest.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Not almost extinct," Shania said "I'm sure you know how rare dragons are,"

 

[Ricia]

"Of course, maybe more rare then the Glavent's themselves, and I can tell you exactly how many live.... at one time however I am not sure. There might be a few of us in the cycle right now." Ryuk said calmly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Well, want to help out? whats a safer group then me a mage two adult dragons a smart human and two baby dragons?" Shania asked.


"Oh yes we are so safe to be with," Zek rolled his eyes.

 

[Ricia]

"Have such a young master can prove myself as much a danger as an asset. Truly... Master Cyrus has no goal in life... with that we move about slowly until the time comes. Perhaps we can lend assistance till Cyrus has made a choice." Ryuk said with a nod and a smile.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Lets hope he doesn't fall in love with Sky, she is a pretty little thing," Zek said rememb ering the flower all too well in his parental protectivness.

 

[Ricia]

Ryuk chuckled, "They are young.... the species difference is too great. He'll be surprised when she is turned back into her dragon from."


When morning came, Rhea was on watch, she had laid Soki and Sky with Aria while Roen stayed up to complete the watch with her. Ryuk stayed up all night however.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Zek went to sleep after his watch though Shania seemed content to star up at the stars and listen for danger. The childrens soft breathing enough to relax her

 

[Ricia]

When morning came Rhea touched Zek gently, "Hey, time to wake up." She said gently. Zek looked so cute when he slept. She smiled at him and waited for him to open his eyes.


Ryuk seem to be waking Cyrus, the boy stretched and got up immediately ready to go, though he held his tummy and looked hungry.


Roen stood soon and slow before he shook himself out.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Zek groaned and opened an eye before streaching out and sitting up his glamour had fallen an his wings were out and they stretched with him. "morning,"


"yeah, Rhea want me to gather eggs? I think i smell a nest of wild turkeys..." Shania asked

 

[Ricia]

She smiled at Shania, "Sure thing." she called back to the girl, "We'll get a fire going." She said before turning back to Zek, "Good morning. Do you think it would be safe for Roen and Aria to fly and hunt? Or are we still too close to the kingdom?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I think it is safe just... watch out for our mage friend I don't know how close he might be," Zek said.


Aria stretched and shook out the sleep from her eyes "I would like a good hunt," she admitted.

 

[Ricia]

"Rhea is discussing it with Zek now. He fears the mage. Lets go though, we'll be careful. Rhea's eyes will be on the young ones." Roen said spreading his wings.


Rhea pursed her lips together and looked over to Roen as he took off. "Never mind... they decided to go anyway." Rhea shrugged before extending her hand out to help Zek get up.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Zek smiled greatful for the help as he extended his hand and took hers. "He is a wonderful person, I am in awe of his lack of fear of the dragon hunting mage,"


Aria took off with Roen and she happily flew around him just to stretch a bit.

 

[Ricia]

Rhea smiled, "I love him, want to help me start a fire? I took off Roen's sattle bags so we have all our supplies. Shania is bringing eggs. We have a bit of dried deer as well." She told Zek walking to the kids and started to gently try and wake them.


Roen flew more straight then Aria, but he would occasionally take playful nips at her when she neared him.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Skysong whined "I don't wanna get up," she said in common.


Zek shook his head setting up the fire using magic to light the wood. "Eggs for breckfast Sky,"


"I like eggs," Sky said with a smile.

 

[Ricia]

Cyrus ran into the forest and Ryuk stretched himself stiff a bit from sitting in the same place all night. Though it was a few moments later he transformed into an actual deer and started to trot into the forest after the little boy.


Rhea watched rather amazed at the transformation. "Its strange... so much happened yesterday. I wounder if we will catch a break.... we still have this strange amulet." Rhea said while she started to warm up milk for Soki.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Well we can't say life is dull," Zek chuckled and watched as Shania ran back with a bunch of turkey eggs.

 

[Ricia]

"Soki" Rhea called the baby dragon to her. "Are you feeling ok Shania? Not hurt from yesterday?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Nope all healed, just hit my head a bit harder then normal," she laughed "not even a bump or bruise,"


Soki rubbed sleepy eyes an yawned.

 

[Ricia]

Rhea smiled, "That's good." Rhea said to Shania before picking up Soki and placing his bottle to his lips.


It was a few moments later that the rather normal looking deer came back into the cleared, Cyrus on his back. Cyrus has a lot of mushrooms. They were rather large and looked pretty good,

 

[InsaneTruth]

Soki reached out to Rhea "mommy milk please," he sai softly in draken.


Skysong sat by the fire still rubbing her eyes
