There Will Be An End

[Ricia]

"Only for the trip into gorath." Axesort told him with a nod. "Are you cold?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Yes sir," He admitted though this island was much warmer then Gorath was it still held a chill and for a malnurished kid with not much in the way of clothing it had to feel much colder.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort but serafie on the sand, "gather a bit of wood to put on the sands." He told him.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Gather... wood, yes sir," The samll form darted into the woods like a deer.


"You take in strays?" Issabelle asked "you do know his entire race is considered food people will be trying to buy him from you for their suppers,"

 

[Ricia]

"I have more money then any human." He told issabelle. "But "passes the time." There was more to it then that.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Passes the time does it, and your three kids they all strays too or are they dragon hatchlings?" Issa asked "Pardon my curiosity you don't get a chance to talk to a benevolent dragon lord every day,''

 

[Ricia]

"Strays." Axesort told her. "They've been with me for the whole of winter. They've grown on me."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Issabelle chuckled "Well I do hope you and your children work out," she told him it was none of her business really. "You gonna end up adopting the faun? hell I want to call it a boy but... I'm just not certain,"

 

[Ricia]

"I may very well." Axesort told Issabelle. "I will see. I do whatever I please. I walked onto your ship thinking I would get entertainment from pirates trying to take my richs. You surprised me. Earned your life in my eyes."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Not all pirates are theives... not when the bags willing to pay us not to be," She laughed she would steal if a bag sheated her she;d rob them blind. The boy ran back with a few sticks.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort took one of the sticks from him before blowing on it to light it before he handed it back down in a very delicate claw.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Serafie watched with wide eyes dragons did breath fire! He took the lit stick and lit the other sticks.


"I'll get him more wood... that pyre won;t stay warm long," Issabelle said

 

[Ricia]

Axesort nodded, "I will be here till I and Ashwinter have talked properly. Then I will be leaving." He was still giving Issabelle an option.

 

[InsaneTruth]

She nodded and went off to get proper wood the boy was happy to have a fire though he was still frightened the kindness lessened the fear. However when a giant blue dragon emerged from the water the faun whimpered almost pathetically.

 

[Ricia]

Axesort turned to look at Ashwinter and nodded slowly, "Good hunt brother?" He asked her.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"It was did you have luck?" Ashwinter asked but saw and smelled the faun. He of course had seen many such creatures and drowned a fair many aswell or ate them. "And seems you found another to save," he said though his voice he;d nothing but curiosity. "You are an odd soul brother or maybe I have been from dragon company too long,"

 

[Ricia]

Axesort switch to draken now, "They are small now... but when they grow... I will have their loyalty... I will have their love and admiration... They will follow me as I ask with vigour." Axesort chuckled, "Gorath is too poisoned for dragons to live in peace.."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I see," Ashwinter said. "A faun... interesting choice for a subject they are rather timid scared creatures," he laid down with a thud in the sand the old dragon as used to the cold water as he was was still cold blooded and needed a good dose of sun. "You wished to talk with me? Lay in the sun as we do, we may not get another sunny day of rest,"

 

[Ricia]

Axesort laid as well and his wings even spread out to catch more sun. "I just wish to know the company of another. For a bit." Axesort said slowly. "I have plans for creating an army... making Gorath a safer place. Anyone can be trained to fight."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"It is a wonderful plan, one that will take many years, and lots of battles," Ashwinter said. "I do not wish another war the last left us crippled... but I will help you if anyway I can," he told his bretherin dragon. Really what did the big dragon have left? the egg was all he had of his family left and without a safe world he'd likely loose that.

 

[Ricia]

"This will be slow and steady... I won't be jumping into anything..." Axesort said. "The forces will be built slowly... I will wiggle my way into the nobles. Gather any remaining dragon to me. I will find ally from anywhere.. when dealing with nobles or underworld.. that is with a pirate can come in handy." Axesort told him. His head made a rolling motion to the women he saved.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I see you plan to use her knowlage of the ways of pirates to your advantage," Ashwinter said he stretched his toes into the sand leisurely. "The young you have do you plan to use them in this matter of politics?"

 

[Ricia]

"It depends how they grow." Axesort told him. "The three girls with me now... they are all the age of 8.. I think one of them is 9 maybe. They already call each other scarlet blades. There is a half dragon... green. A white fox girl... and an orange cat girl, though unlike the other girls, I don't think her color maters. They've bonded with each other quicker then I could have anticipated."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Ashwinter hummed lightly to show he listened. "You pick up ones rather young, but it is ok the young will make the new age not the old," he finally said "It is a human saying but one I like,"

 

[Ricia]

"It is a true saying... As the young make the way for the future..." Axesort could lead all he wanted, but who came after him is what mattered. "When I come back around, should we meet on this island to make the exchange?" Axesort asked Ashwinter.
