Analeiss walked through the streets of Aberon, very confused. She had just barely made it through the gates as they closed for the night, and now it was pitch black out. Only lights from people's windows lit the way for her. Carefully she made her way down cobbled streets, avoiding glances and glared from street-folk that might do her some sort of harm. A pack of dogs peered out from an alley, growling slightly. She did not look at them in fear of an attack. The hairs on her arms and the back of her neck raised at the sound of a child crying.
She started to run, right into a bartender who had just shooed a drunk from the building. The man did not seem angry, actually he seemed rather cheerful. "Ello, darlin. What mights you be'n out here this time of night? Are ya lost r' somethin?" The pudgy man asked.
"No! Well, actually... I was looking for the palace," she stated plainly, frightened to death.
He thought a moment, then replied, "Mhmm... Well, the guards'll pick ya clean if you go thar at this time of night. Maybe you can go thar tomorra and stay at an Inn tonight. I'm plum-full right now, sorry. I have a friend who has an Inn a little ways away. Now how you get there is..."
The instructions were very complicated. She said she understood, but really did not. So on she went once again through the streets, knowing not where she was headed, and hoping nobody would harm her.

Amarth was tired. She had danced the day away in the streets of the neighboring city of Aberon. Her shoulders ached and she rolled them, at the same time spreading her wings a little, letting the tension release as they stretched out.
Sighing, the Kreeshone walked the streets, easily remembering the way back to the small Inn she had chosen to stay at for the few nights she was in the city. I love dancing in this city. They do not have any winged dancers, and very few dancers otherwise. I love watching them become mesmerized by my dancing. Amarth thought as she walked, not thinking to unspread her wings. She knew she probably looked threatening, but that was probably the safest thing at this time of night.
Another turn and she saw the girl walking just past the pub. Staying behind a little to see what she was doing, Amarth watched her, almost protectively. Not wanting to scare the girl, and not wanting her to get hurt, she decided to approach and see what the lost looking girl was doing.

Leiss, who was trained to have her mind outstretched and searching for dangerous people, felt the mind of something else she was not yet accustomed to. Frightened she closed her mind and built a strong barrier within seconds. She took a breath, drew her sword and turned around. She was not prepared for what she saw. It was a winged being... She had heard of these, but had not yet seen very many and they still suprised her.
Her eyes opened a little wider and her hands trembled, but she dare not move. I've done it now! It will eat me for sure now... She thought to herself.

"Wait, wingless one. No need to fight," Amarth said firmly, but as nicely as she could.
The girl looked so scared, and yet she was still so ready to fight. When Amarth realized the young woman was staring at her wings, she pulled them back a little tighter to her back. "I'm sorry. It's just that my shoulders hurt and..." Amarth trailed off, not knowing how else to exlpain it.
She didn't know what else to say. She wanted to help, but the girl looked so ready to fight. She wasn't very strong when it came to magic, but Amarth had a strong mind and she reached her's out, at the same time putting up walls around her own. All I have with me is the dagger on my leg, but I have no reason to fight her. She thought as she built the walls in her mind, strong and high.
As she reached out, her wings relaxed a little because her focus was no longer on keeping her wings tight against her body. The fell back to a comfortable position and her hand twitched, wanting so badly to go to her knife, as the girl had, but knowing that wouldn't help the situation.

Leiss was shocked that she had threatened such a powerful being. She lowered her sword and said apologetically, "I am sorry, Kreeshone. I am not yet used to your type's presence around here. Please forgive my rudeness."
Fuego asked Leiss, why did she say she was sore?

OOC: I'm assuming I didn't hear what your dragon said in this. Sorry if that's not what you were going for, I didn't want to make it like I could hear ALL thoughts so... *shrug* lol.[/b]
"It is ... are you a Rider? You are! There is your dragon! How marvelous," Amarth said, her interest growing as she looked at the girl. She took a step closer and looked into the girls' eyes. "So much power resting on your shoulders, wingless one," she whispered.
"I am happy you did not raise your weapon higher, I do not wish to fight. You just looked so scared, I would like to help," she said as the girl lowered her weapon. "I suppose my kind are quite an oddity for you, it is understandable." Her Common was formal, being the only way she learned it.
As she spoke to the girl, again she rolled her shoulders and let her wings relax more; she had not been this tired in a while, and she was amazed she was still standing on her bare feet. Yes, she had discipline as a dancer and swordsman, but she had been up for a very long time. She knew she probably looked exausted, but that was no reason to leave this girl standing lost in the streets.

Tijia wandered the streets of the city for while wondering what to do next. She was reminded of the hungry dragon tailing her when she got a rolling stab of anger. She looked back at her new dragon and smiled.
What is it little one?
NAME!!!
Oh really? Hmm let's see, how's Rose?
This was met by a strong wave of negativity so she tried again,Mali?. Again she recieved a wave of firm negativity so she tried something more broad, How about Sun?. But once more it was a firm no. That was when she realized that all the names she had suggested were girls names so she tried a guy's name, Hmm, hows Helio?. The dragon purred it's approval and rubbed his muzzle on her leg. She smiled and picked him up as they walked. That was when they walked in on what seemed to be a Kreeshone and another Rider so she blended with the shadows and listened.

Leiss was about to answer when yet another peson walked up, holding a young dragon in her arms. She drew her sword quickly and got into a ready stance. She glanced from the Kreeshone to the other rider a few times, then asked the woman, "who are you and what is your allegiance?" She could not take any chances, as she had learned her lesson from that a while ago.

Tijia smiled at the girl. "Lower your sword I am unarmed. My name is Tijia Ali and I'm a newbie Varden Rider. How about yourself?" She looked at the girl cautiously she had learned as a trader that cheaters and scum looked like respectable people and to not trust anyone.

Leiss lowered her sword slowly, but still heald it ready. She tried to look dangerous but felt herself insecure about fighting. The last time she had fought blood had been spilt by her hands. She remembered it like it was only yesterday. She did not want this life, the life of a killer, but it had been given to her.
Fuego then entered Leiss' mind and said, Leiss! They are Varden allied. It's okay.
What if they are lying? Then we'll both be dead! she snapped back. Then to the woman she said, "alright. I believe you." She sheathed her sword, but still felt edgy.

"Young ones, please. There is no reason for this," Amarth implored. "Both of you, put your weapons down or I shall have to take them from you by force." Her voice was firm, but her shaking legs nearly gave her away.
Knowing that most humans were still wary of her kind, like the first young rider she was still trying to help; all she would have to do is spread her wings and everything would most likely stop. Amarth looked between the two Riders in shock and awe, wishing the Riders would not fight and would all work towards something better, not fight each other.
"Please, Rider," Amarth said, looking to the first Rider she had spoken to, "This young one said she was allied to the Varden. Is that not what you wanted to know?"
Oh, let this stop, I'm sure I'm too weak to stop them from doing anything! The Kreeshone thought to herself as the walls around her mind began to waver and fall. She had never been so exhausted and so determined before.

OOC: Sorry IC: Leiss nodded towards the Kreeshone. "Yes, it is alright. You can never be too careful these days..." Her voice trailed off, not knowing what to say or do at that moment. There was the beginning of an awkward silence when Fuego flew overhead just barely above rooftops. He circled around and then landed in between buildings. He just barely fit in and felt rather shished, but had to be there for his rider. Leiss introduced him, "this is my dragon Fuego."

Tijia smiled and said,"This is Helio! Nice to see you trust me now eh?" Tijia thought it was nice to meet another Rider and wanted to be friends with one. So, she smiled and waited for the other Rider to respond.
