There Will Be An End

[InsaneTruth]

Mousey chuckled "Bundles of energy suit two of them well," Mousey laughed Runa had a reputation of being much too unnervingly calm. "I'm glad they bring you joy though, t shows in you how much more relaxed and sure you are then when you first came,"


Runa found she had a thing for swords while Star liked things she could hide like daggers.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort nodded a bit slowly, "I have a favor. I'm leaving to Terrin as soon as the thaw... which is weeks from now." Axesort told Mousey. "I would ask if you keep an eye on Star, Miu and Runa. They can take care of themselves.... they know where I keep the food storage is if hunting goes wrong... and they are safe in the caves. My goal is to take hold of the dragon egg in the kingdom."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I'll keep an eye on the girls they all know to come here if they need help you know that," Mousey said and smiled it was some time away he half wondered if the egg would hatch before Axesort got there. "Let them know about it too, and know they are as safe as I can make them in town,"

 

[Ricia]

"The girls are now far from defenseless..." Axesort told Mousey, "I'm not sure if anyone would be brave enough to take from me however. Although none thing I can fight, they all know I could hire the strongest of mercenary if harm comes to the girls. But I trust them in your hands."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Mousey laughed "MAybe I can teach them a bit of hand to hand, pass the time," he told Axesort he knew the biggest problem would be the girls missing the dragon. "You got yourself a big name here and your right when you say nobody will take from you,"

 

[Ricia]

Axesort nodded slowly, "i've not told them i'm leaving yet. Part of me wonders if they will think i'd not come back. Though I assure you if I was that heartless... i'd not leave my hord behind."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I don't think you are that heartless... in fact you have twice the heart of most people," The mouse made a joke about a dragons two heart system.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort cracked a grin at the joke. Truly the dragon had loosened up in the months "Indeed, I do." Between putting his life more at order, becoming more healthy, gaining a friend, charges and a horde.... and finally coming up with a plan. Everything was more OK for the dragon then it was months ago when he woke from his deep slumber.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Mousey grinned and took Axesorts hand in a firm shake "I'm very glad to have met you Axesort, I want you to know that," he laughed at how odd he had to sound.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort clasped his hand over Mousey's to return the shake, he smiled at the elf, "Indeed. I can say the same. Though you helped me live through the winter." He let go of his hand before giving him a nod, "Then, I'm off. I'll be telling the girls today."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"good luck," Mousey said with a smile telling them would not be fun he was sure

 

[Ricia]

Axesort check on the Keep before going back the the caves. Miu liked to play around the Keep and watch the people work. When Axesort saw her, he told her to gather the other two girls for a small talk. She did so happily.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Starbright and Runa were both in the caves Runa bathing to remove the very last piece of the recent shead she hated growing with a passion.


Starbright was reading but she and Runa both went with Miu readily.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort was in his dragon form when they appeared, he looked on them with one large eye. He had grown fond of the group... who went around calling themselves Scarlet Blades. He thought it was cute... and may instill fear later in their life.


"Yes, I am happy you have all come. I have something important to tell you." He looked them over slowly. Miu hoped it was something fun, like a game, or the Keep was going to be done soon.


"I'm leaving on a trip to Terrin. I will be gone for a month at most." Axesort told them.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"A month," Starbright asked in shock


"You;re leaving? Can't we come?" Runa asked pathetically her tail lashed something that happened most when she was nervous. What if he left them here what if he found a better home in Terrin She was almost begging with her eyes as Star was still in shock.

 

[Ricia]

Miuccia's tail fluffed, "What? You're leaving?" She asked.


"All of you relax." He sounded like he commanded it of them "There is a dragon egg in Terrin that I am going to get and bring here to care for. While I am there, I will sell more of my gems."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Oh a dragon egg!" Star said exitedly then remembered she was comanded to relax "Good luck," she told him the one fact completly quelled all her uncertanties.


It was not so with Runa who's tail again lashed she was going to be replaced they all were for a fll dragon egg.

 

[Ricia]

"Now listen and listen well. If danger so much as seems like it is present, tell Mousey. I trust that elf a great deal." Axesort told them. "Keep watch on the cave and be safe. If I come back and I find any of you had misbehaved, you will be punished." He threatened them. "Make sure you practice reading, writing and speaking. And most importantly watch out for each other."


Miu reached for her tail and held it, quieting down. She was not as nervous as Runa, but she was still at unease.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"We will," Star smiled "The Scarlet blades will stick together and stay out of danger," her tail wagged she trusted Axesort without question.


"Of course... we will always look out for each other... and you will always look after us?" Runa asked

 

[Ricia]

"Of course I will. Runa you doubt me?" He asked the Drakka. "Has this winter not earned your trust?" He asked his. Axesort looked to Miu, who was still looking to him. She looked down because the questions applied to her too.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I don't wish to doubt you," Runa replied but she was simply worried. Runa was very honest and most often straight forward with her words, she always spoke what she thought.

 

[Ricia]

"You will understand when I return. But I will not set my trip off because of mistrust. I will return." He told the three. Though he did lower his head down so that his nose was in front of them. "And I will bring each of you a gift from Terrin... tell me what you think you may want?" He asked them.


Miu reached out a hand to Axesort's nose and leaned on it. A present sounded really nice... what did she want?

 

[InsaneTruth]

Star smiled her tail wagged like a dogs. "Oh... I heard in Terrin there are pretty flowers that are frozen in time by magic... " she said how she would love a flower that never died.


Runa looked down a bit and away from the dragon he was asking her what she wanted even after she mistrusted him. She would shock him with her want she was sure. "A blade," she said simply "A moonstone blade," the metal was indestructible ... almost and heavy.

 

[Ricia]

Miu seemed to think about it hard. She didn't know what she wanted, or what she liked. Runa collected shinny things.. and Star was such a girl.


"Miuccia, what is it you want?" Axesort asked her.


"I don't know... I don't really know what I like.." Miuccia said, though she was still hugging Axesort's nose. Even as he talked, she felt his breath wash over her. He smelled like fire.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Star hugged her sister and squeezed "Miu is sweet and soft," Star said "Maybe she would like exotic sweets?" the fox kit was trying to be helpfull she loved her sister alot.
