There Will Be An End

[Ricia]

"The crystal was keeping me alive. The mage provided me a nice snack. The elf would have too if I had caught him, but he was too quick." Axesort told the girl, "But I'd not eat you." his breath made a small wind that would tickle her hair as she stood in front of him. "But now I must eat and drink to sustain my body... but i'm not strong enough. Breaking the gem was all my body could take then. I need to rest now. I will try and hunt later." He told her.

 

[InsaneTruth]

she nodded "I'll get water," she told him and scurried out. it was a while before she came back but she had actually dug from one freshwater spring to the cave and a small stream of water was coming in.

 

[Ricia]

He heard her before he saw her, but before long she was in view digging the dirt in the ground. Water was following her muddy hands. He was not sure if this girl was smart of dumb. "You are a curious child.." Axesort said watching her.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I'm good at digging, figured I could bring water to you and all... since you said you needed it an I can't hunt anything big enough for you to eat," she said sitting down tiered her work done he could see she was exausted after the work she had done.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort picked up his body just enough so that he could pick his head over the small steam of water. It was hard to get enough but he started to lap the water up with his tongue. It wasn't enough. the small stream was too narrow. "Climb onto my claw." He told the girl.

 

[InsaneTruth]

She looked at his claw it was bigger then her. She jumped on it he did say he'd not hurt her right?

 

[Ricia]

With that, he actually started to get up and walk, following the stream to the main source of water. His back and wings scrapped across the top of the cave, making it rain down to the ground broken scales. Eventually he got to the large warm spring following the tinny one connected to it. As soon as he saw the water he nearly dunk his head inside it, taking a large gulp of it.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Starbrite held nto Axesorts claw for dear life leaving muddy hand prints on him. The water was warm like the rest of the springs but it was fresh water.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort drank a lot before dunking his head into the pool. His whole head didn't even fit into it, but it felt good on his dry scales. He thrashed his head in the water more, trying to wash more of his head.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"There are bigger pools... but some arent fresh water like this one..." Starbright said

 

[Ricia]

"It is alright. My scales itch for being so dry... But I don't think I can move much more.." Axesort told Starbright, turning to move back to the cave where the stones where. He laid down again before bring his claw to his face where Starbright was sitting. "You should rest too. You seem just as tried as I.."

 

[InsaneTruth]

fox ears flicked lightly but she had to admit she was tiered from digging. she was still rather frmly attatched to the claw holding on for dear life. "Ok," she said

 

[Ricia]

"Sleep then little kit. I will be as well." He said closing his eyes and rolling his head lightly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

she laid on his paw and curled up she felt almost like a flea.

 

[Ricia]

The dragon fell asleep soon, trying to gain what little energy her had gotten from the food and drink.

 

[InsaneTruth]

the little kit fell aslepp and thanks to his warmth stayed that way for quite a while.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort eventually woke up, he was unsure what to do with himself. It was dead winter apparently and he was to week to do anything. His black scales would stand out in the white of the world above him... he was sure.

 

[InsaneTruth]

the little girl was still asleep on his paw when he woke she was peaceful fr the first time in a long time.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort would lay resting, thinking about what he needed to do. Or how he was going to survive yet. Maybe there was something in the caves he could hunt. Doubtful though.

 

[InsaneTruth]

The little kit woke and streatched yawning showing of sharp canine teeth. After streatching she rubbed her eyes and her belly growled time to go hunting.

 

[Ricia]

He watched her, "It is your time to go seek food. I was just thinking how I will go about securing a meal.."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I can try to hunt big stuff," Star said looking at Axesort she really would try.

 

[Ricia]

"You've done plenty. I am a large creature. it will take me a very long time before I die without food." Axesort told her. "I will regain strength before I go to down and buy food."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Ok," She said and hopped of him "I guess since I'm a small creature the same isn't true.. I'll come back," she told him.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort nodded and laid his head back down again, he didn't have any money... so buy food would be hard. His eyes traveled to one of the jewels.
