There Will Be An End

[Ricia]

Axesort felt lightly alarmed. He smelled the dragon... but there was elf too. Why? "Come here. I am a dragon too.." He whispered.


Miuccia leaned on Starbright a bit to see what Ashur was doing.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Dragon?" she asked when a hand reached out it was just that it was a hand but it was scaled like a dragons and clawed. So small and fragile what was hiding from him was a child. her wrist and underside of her arm was pale and covered in skin not scale.

 

[Ricia]

Dragon claw... This girl.. was a half dragon. Either her father or mother was a dragon. Axesort took her hand and with a firm grip, pulled her out where she was. She was most likely freezing to death... there was no way she could fight him, even in his weak state. He wrapped his arm around her waist before pulling off his necklace and tried to put it on her, giving it the command to warm. The poor drake was most likely cold blooded...

 

[InsaneTruth]

A mop of silver hair and pointed elven ears marked her as half elf. He body was a twist of green scales and pale skin no clothing exept a scarf of red torn fabric though her scales made it to where she looked clothed in lizard skin. He was right the young one was freezing her lips and cheeks blue from the cold she struggled lamely slugish and tiered the necklace warmed her and she actually let out a small sigh of releif it had been so long since she felt warmth of any kind days at least. She was thin and young she had to be the same age as Axesorts new kitten Yellow green eyes marked with a slit looked up at the black haired man who held her. "Thank you," she said in rough elven.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort sighed... now he had a third child. There was no way he could say no to his Kin... Star saved him, Miu is a favor for Mousey and now one of his kin. "I guess I'll take you with me as well." He said pulling her up and then setting her down on his horse too.


Miuccia's ears twitched, "She is gunna come too Lord Ashur?"


"Yes. She will come too... What is your name drakka?" Axesort asked, checking to see if she had wings yet.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Runa," The girl said.


"Hi Runa I'm Starbright and this is Miuccia," Star said


The half dragon looked over the two then Ashur. "You... said you were kin?" she asked him she was confused was he half too but just hid his scales well? Starbrights happy smile relaxed her some though.

 

[Ricia]

"You can call me Miu." Miuccia said with a small smile, "He picked me up today too..."


"You will see later. Till then say no more of it." Axesort told her, "You may call me Ashur for now. But you are safe with me, so do as I ask." He told her. Without the necklace... Axesort completely forgot how cold it was... He'll stop by the jeweler and get a new one... then give that one to Runa since his was meant to stretch. Axesort did just that. Also he stopped to buy dried meats and other things that will last through the winter. The horse would be carrying a lot.


He bought a meal for him and the girls. Of course his meal was several pounds of meat.


Lastly they stopped at the clothing store again. Of course the fae remember him picking up Starbright.. now they will proububly be pleased he picked up two more. "Star you can get something too... Miu, Runa... go pick some clothing. Nothing is out of my bounds."


"What... ever we want?" Miu asked looked around the store.

 

[InsaneTruth]

The jewler was more then happy to do business with Ashur again and he got him a pendant for the girl as well. He wished the man well and offered him a piece of jewlery cut from the stone he gave.


The fae did remember him and he was greeted warmly. The monarch smiled "At this rate you will have more daughters then you know what to do with," she joked lightly.


Starbright smiled "Thank you," she told him.


Runa was not as sure as the other two clothing often caught on her scales and ripped or tore worse so when she was sheading. "Ashur," she said unsure how to tell him and not seem rude.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort smiled at the fae, "Yes... well I have the funds to take care of them... and right now I have plenty of time on my hands. I believe I may make a permanent home here."


"Yes Runa?" Axesort said when she tried to get his attention.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Thats wonderful," the fae said. "You making a home here might make a good difference to the town,"


"My... my scales... cut clothes..." Runa said a bit bashfully. "they're sharp," she looked at her bare and dragonlike feet she was half expecting to be yelled at.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort seemed to think before turning to the Fae, "Do you have any tough clothing... like reinforced leather or tanned skin clothing?" Axesort asked her. They may wear faster in the long run, but it would give her something to cover up with.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"We do of course," The fae said "Come on yound one lets see what materail will hold up best while still being comfortable," she held a hand out to the young girl. Runa took her hand and let her lead her away and she got many samples of materail to test

 

[Ricia]

Picking out clothing for Runa took the longest. Honestly, they could just give her leather for a bottom layer.. then put whatever one top. Miu picked out a lot of boyish styled clothing. She showed less intrests in dresses then Starbright. However Axesort did get her a dress just in case. He also included extra furs for the two new girls.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Runa seemed to actually like boy styles too but she leaned towards fighting clothing without even realizing it.


Starbright was obvious the most girly of the three dresses petticoats cute hats ribbons all those things caught her eyes so easily. Though she didn't ask for alot because she wanted to make sure she could cherish everysingle article of cloth.

 

[Ricia]

After they found Runa and Miu several outfits, new furs and one more outfit for Starbright, Axesort paid the women with a thanks. When they were done, Axesort decided to make one more stop. He wanted to meet this Granny person.. and get some of that medicine Mousey had so he could recover faster.. "One more stop girls.. then we will go home... you two's new home."


Miuccia could not help but feel a tad big excited at the thought.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Starbright smiled she held Axesorts shirt as always.


"Thank you," Runa said softly she felt like maybe she would have a new start now. A better start.


It dodn't take Axesort long to find the shabby looking hut with an old woman outside tending a small herb garden.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort stopped the horse before looking at the three, "Can you three stay here? I'll be right back. Call if anything is happening." He said before grabbing a few gold and approching the women in the garden, "Hello, ma'am." Axesort said softly, "I was told you were a good doctor... I was wondering if I can purcious medication for myself."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Mousey sent you eh? Got yourself a belly wound," she stood she was very old in human standards. "I got yeh some medicine, to strengthen your body to help heal am I right?" she asked him looking at him with wize eyes.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort put his hand on his stomach where his injury was. He was not sure how he manage to tell that by looking at him. If not it annoyed him slightly. "Yes. I would like that." Axesort said, confirming what she said. Not that he needed to since she seemed to already know.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Alright," She said goign into the hut and getting a few vials "Here this should get that belly of yours healed up one spoonfull before a meal and before bed, give it one week and not only will your belly heal you will fing your system strengthened you look rather weakened, just get over being ill?" She asked him.

 

[Ricia]

"Thank you. And sort of. I've been asleep for a long time, magic keeping me alive.. so my body was not remaining healthy." Axesort told her, "I'm slowly recovering."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Well i hope it helps you," The woman said "six silver if you have it if not pay me on the return trip,"

 

[Ricia]

"I have plenty... though I don't have much under a gold." He handed the gold piece to her. "You can keep the change. Thank you." Please don't make her an older Mousey...

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Alright, come back if the gixies or you need anything, I'll remember you have some credit," Granny said. Yep an older more sly Mousey.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort nodded to the women before taking the bottle and slipping it into one of the pouches. The poor horse was packed tight with things. He'll get a rest soon enough. He started to walk to out of town, so the geyser fields. Soon they made it out of town, that was when he spoke.


"My true name is Axesort." He told Runa and Miu. "When I am in this form... you are to call me Ashur. When I am in my other form, you may call me either Ashur or Axesort. Never tell anyone what my true form is."


Miu blinked a bit, "A dragon.. right? It's what Mousey said..."


"Yes, I am a dragon. Dragons are hunted by people... so I must remain hidden." Axesort said softly.
