There Will Be An End

[InsaneTruth]

"She's young," Mousey said "And nobody teaches you history on the streets," he told the lord. "A dragon is a proud creature that is kin to the big cats you see but they are cold blooded and reptile like in appearance they have scales and wings. Highly intelegent and fair, if you meet one... you are very lucky," Mousey told her. "There's not as many of them now as there once was," the elf tried to give the child a rough depiction.

 

[Ricia]

Miuccia didn't understand a lot of that. She didn't know what cold blooded meant or reptile.... but she go the bit about cats and rare to meet one. "A god..?" She asked.


Axesort chuckled, "That is the second time i've heard this.. How do you feel living in caves?"


"Is it warm?" She asked him.


"Yes... very warm." Axesort answered.


"Then it sounds amazing!" Miuccia said a bit excited.


"And can you do as I tell you?" Axesort asked again.


"Yes! I can do lots of things!" Miuccia answered, standing up with a jump.


Axesort looked to the door, Starbright should be back soon. He really didn't want a repeat of the last few days.

 

[InsaneTruth]

When he looked out he was the fox kit running to the door "Got it." she said happily.


"Thank you Star," Mousey smiled as she brought it to him. "Thank you Ashur... two girls... you sure you can handle them without going crazy?" the elf smiled girls were rumored to be hard to train.

 

[Ricia]

"I'm sure I can sleep with them running up and down my back.." Axesort said with a bit of thought. "Well I came here to get a book... about Terrin." Axesort said getting on the reason he was here. "Starbright... that is Miuccia... she'll be coming with us. Play nice."


"Starbright..." Miuccia said looking at the other girl. What? Was she his daughter or something?

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Hi Miuccia... Can I call You Miu?" Starbright asked when she almost butchered the girls name at first.


"A book on Terrin... climate mapping history?" Mousey asked "Politics? you got to give me a bit more specific information,"

 

[Ricia]

"Political. Current." Axesort told him, his attention leaving the girls to their own devices. "And a map..."


"Umm.. yeah.. I can just call you Star?" Miuccia asked a bit shyly. She had to make a good first impression

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Yeah!" Star smiled and held out her hand to the other girl.


"Alright," Mousey hopped to it after eating a bit quickly he got the map first then had to search fot the political books a bit. the shoeless elf had to look amusing hopping to see the taller shelves looking "Ok 1 gold for the both," he told him.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort nodded before pulling out 1 gold. A bit more expensive than usual, but he didn't even complain before handing over the money. "Before you hear the rumors, yes I attacked the capital."


Miuccia reached out and took Starbright's hand, "You his kid?" She asked.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Sort of, he took me in," Starbright smiled


"I ... well ok," Mousey said and shrugged "you can attack the palace too... might do well for some remodaling, too stuffy needs a few less walls," Of course Mousey was joking but he didn't much care what Axesort attacked as long as it wasn't him. In fact after what he saw he was half ready to fight with the dragon if he was asked.

 

[Ricia]

"I've not had a pleasant time in the capital... the little one caused them to take interest in capturing.. Needless to say I am more weak now then when I was broken from the crystal. My injury runs deep and traveling with it was not pleasant." Axesort told Mousey. He didn't comment on his joke, he seemed not in the mood at all. In fact it might be possible that he was unable to joke.


"Does he do this often?" Miu asked, since he seemed to be taking her in as well.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I don;t think so," Starbright said


"Well why didn't you tell me that I got something for yah," Mousey said "I got a friend whos a good hedgewitch, her remides as good as any mages if not better," the elf said "If nothing it'll pep you up to help you heal natural," Mousey was using a bit more street slang then he normally did with a guest but hell Axesort was more then just a customer.

 

[Ricia]

"I didn't even think to buy humanoid medications." Axesort said slowly watching Mousey go get what he was talking about. Axesort was loosening up on his extremely old and proper elven and common.


Miu nodded slowly before licking her fingers of whatever is left of the food. "What do you do?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Play... mostly," She giggled "Ashurs teaching me to read and write and stuff,"


Mousey brought him a syrup. "It doesn't taste half bad either if your gonna be in town more then half an hour go ahead and take a spoonfull,"

 

[Ricia]

Axesort looked from the bottle, to Mousey before opening the bottle and just taking a small swig. He would trust the mouse about the drug. Putting the cap back on it, he handed the bottle back to the elf. "I can pay for that too." It was almost an excuse just to give money to the elf. Since he wouldn't take his gold.


"Play... like.. just.. play around?" Miu asked softly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

The medicine tasted sweet missing the bitter bite most had. "I got it for free from Granny, if either of the kiddies get sick you should go to her before spending good gold on some mage healer who don't know whats going on," Mousey told Axesort. The dragon felt a bit warm but other then that normal.

 

[Ricia]

"And... where is this Granny?" Axesort asked. He stole a glance at the two girls. They seem to have quieted down, but Starbright seem to have Miuccia's hand in a grip. He'll go to the market before finally heading home for a rest. He looked back to Mousey. He already felt warm for the most part, but the pain numbed.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"She's on the streets in a little hut. It don;t look like much but, trust me she's worth the trip to the bad side of town," Mousey said he held very high respects for this woman and it showed.

 

[Ricia]

"I see. I'll be sure to remember that." Axesort said. Last time he visited a local doctor. The women sounded trust worthy if Dark was so enthralled with them. "Alright then... Starbright, Miuccia. Time to go into town for a few more errands."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Ok," Star went to Ashur and took hold of his shirt "Nice to see you Mousey," she said as a good bye.


"Nice to see you both too... take care kitten," Mousey said to the little stray neko. He smiled he was glad she would have a good home with food and shealter and a friend around her age.

 

[Ricia]

Miuccia looked to Mousey before making a face, "I have a name!" She said before following Starbright and Axesort out of the shop. Axesort put the map and book into a bag before picking both Starbright and Miuccia and putting them on the back of the stallon. He would go the the market now and buy things for Miuccia.

 

[InsaneTruth]

As Axesort and the girls went to the market Axesort could smell dragon it was faint and it was female but it was definitely dragon. Star was happily riding the horse humming a merry tune.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort felt himself get rather distracted at the even light hint of dragon he lead the horse further into the market to find the source.


Miuccia listened to Starbright before humming along, but it was not the same, it just kind of added to her tune.

 

[InsaneTruth]

As he got closer to the sorce he also smelt fear the creature was afraid a green scaled tail's tip was all he saw peeking from a hiding hole. Two yellow eyes were glowing lightly peering out.

 

[Ricia]

"Dragon?" He asked trying to look into the hole, "It is alright... kin." He said softly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

The creature shied further back she also smelled a bit like an elf but more like a dragon she was cold sluggish so her movements were not very quick in fact she was almost frozen by this point. "Kin?" she asked him her voice shuddered with the cold in her body.
