Ali Dragonia' move...

[Eslakon]

"I see a human, and some sort of sea creature. Let us hope they're not hostile." She said quickly, flying closer to the trees to hide them from any unwanted eyes. Chara felt Eslakon tense up on her back, and the familiar pat on the side of her neck told her that he wanted her to land nearby.

Quickly finding a clearing in the trees, though it was rather small, they both managed to land quietly without any scratches.

"Well, what all did you see?" Eslakon hopped off of her back, his hand on his sword, which he was ready to light ablaze with magic at a moment's notice. Clenching his jaw, he swore under his breath. It wasn't uncommon for strange creatures to appear at the nowlen lake, but something like this was indeed rare.

Stretching her wings before folding them against her back, Chara lowered her head so she could whisper to him. "From what I could make out they were talking, and neither of them had a threatening stance. I'm not sure how they will react to me . . . however."

He draped his arm over her neck and scratched her behind the jaw. Leaning low, he said quietly, "Shall we find out?" It appeared to him this might be another rider, but that was just some odd hint of a thought.

"Yes, but on the ground. I don't wish to simply land on top of them and startle." She paused every now and then to lean towards Eslakon as he scratched her neck, pressing her cheek bone against his chest. "Besides, I need to rest my wings anyway."

With his arm still wrapped around her neck, they both set off through the trees, picking the best winding path they could towards the sound of rushing water.

[aldragonia]

Ali giggled, "Sorry, I'll take one then." She smiled and hoped that more people wouldn't come here. She glared at Wesley, who just kind of floated there. Ali growled, "Shut up Wesley."

Wesley splashed both of them jokingly.

"Gah! Wesley! Bad Wesley! Sorry miss, he's being mischievous again. By the way, what's your name again?"

[eldunariabrglaedr]

((Look, im not doing the elongated vowels now...just pretend its a song.))
"Im Yursai, and its okay," she sang, using her foot to splash the fish playfully. "And here you go!" she sang, giving her the emerald. "What is your name?"

[Zaliara]

Nirieh was having her own relaxation time, peacefully gliding on the thermals created by the beach. Heck she could fall asleep like this, but then she would drift off and get lost yet again, she had done it before. She took a look down below, there were in fact a few creatures down there, but she was just minding her own business, so she just kept gliding past them.

[aldragonia]

"I'm Ali miss... and I'm a trainee hypnotist. That Catfish, Wesley, is my pet."

[eldunariabrglaedr]

"Really? A pet catfish? Isn't that comical!" she sang. "Even if it doesn't look it, I'm a professional miner! If you want, I can show you some of my works."

[aldragonia]

"I hypnotized him to be, but don't tell him that. It is kinda comical isn't it? Oh, really? Show me, missy! I'm kinda bored anyway~!" She wagged her tail excitedly.

Wesley kept floating there, seeing Ali's progress.

[eldunariabrglaedr]

"Alrighty then!" she sang, then opened her sack to show. "Look at anything you want! These aren't my best works, those are all at my home. These are just what i have made in one month, and that I will sell at Leosta."

[Zaliara]

Nirieh dozed off for awhile, but snapped herself out of it before she crashed or something. :Oh dangit, now I have to keep myself awake to.: She muttered a bit and did a couple loops in the air to wake herself up

[Eslakon]

Eslakon lifted a low branch up with one arm, a sword at the ready in the other, to help Chara slide under it without causing noise. They were nearing the lake, but on the opposite size from the strangers to avoid detection.

Bright sunlight reflected off of the water and poured through the trees lining the lake, blinding both of them for a moment as they first made contact. He stared at the ground, using Chara's support to lead him through the trees without tripping until his eyes adjusted.

"Wait." Her voice was quiet, and Eslakon could tell by how she crouched down that she was worried. "We're not the only ones here." Her eyes immediately went to the sky.

Eslakon followed her gaze, but couldn't see very well through the trees; Though he knew Chara could easily. The canopy wasn't as thick towards the border of the forest, but it still impaired his vision greatly. He simply left it to Chara to explain what was going on. "Do we need to leave?"

There was a long silence before she answered, too busy staring at the sky. "No, just a winged horse. Not a threat." She met his stare with her own. "Eslakon, we need to find out what is going on here. Stay by my side and keep your sword ready."

Chara covered him with a wing before resuming their approach towards the water, which was a mere crawl. She could feel Eslakon put a hand on her side to keep himself up right, which also let her know he was still under her wing.

"Alright, after we examine the situation, shall we fly over the water after they notice us or before?" Eslakon groaned, struggling to keep such a slow pace in his position. He was close to just crawling on all fours.

"After."

[aldragonia]

Ali sighed a little and went back into the lake, "Nice stuff you have there miss." She looked up, "Do I see a flying horsie?" She made a face rather reminscent of the following sequence: O\.__./o

Wesley also seemed a bit freaked by the flying equestrian. But he soon went to comfort Ali, rubbing against her, which made her laugh. She sat down in the water and pet Wesley, hugging him afterward.

Wesley and Ali played around in the lake and hoped not to be visited too much today...

[eldunariabrglaedr]

"What a beautiful flying HOOORSE! FLYING HOOORSE! FLyinngg....HOOOOOORRSSEE!!! And thank you veerry much!" she sang.

((sorry, couldnt resist XD))

[Starhunter]

Tatsuo ran through the forest, sweat trickling down his face. His dilated eyes, wide with panic, darted around the seemingly endless forest. I thought she said there was a town this way? he thought to himself, almost screaming in his head. Suddenly, he saw a bright gleam through the trees to his left. Finally! he cheered, veering off to the side.

He could see now that the light came from the reflection of a large body of water, and this gave him hope. Adjusting his pack on his back, he ducked his head through a large, dense area of brambles. He brushed them away like nothing with his arms, and bolted past the area, eager to get to the town. He felt like he was flying, he was running so fast.

Of course, you would feel that way too if you were just launched off a cliff.

Tatsuo yelled out, waving his arms and legs frantically. He watched as the body of water appeared closer and closer until he hit the surface with a loud crash!

[Zaliara]

She was going over whether she would keep flying or go find a snack, her stomach decided that. She landed on the bank, a good distance away from the other creatures, she didn't want to disturb anybody. Then she started looking for some grass or something, being a vegetarian seemed quite limited sometimes.

[Eslakon]

The nearby sound of someone yelling, and a loud splash, caused Chara to hiss and immediately hop to full height. "Stay behind me!" She growled as she stepped in front of a now confused Eslakon.

Was is it now? His mind was already racing with possibilities. Finally being able to stand at his full height again, he readied his blade and ran his fingers down the side, lighting it ablaze.

The flame didn't really burn, but it served as a good distraction and still put off a little heat.

As Chara darted around the edge of the lake, trying to find the source of the noise. It didn't take her long to notice some movement off to her side. Her powerful legs tensed as she discovered the young man, who had fallen off the cliff behind her, under the water.

Like a speeding arrow, she launched herself into the water after the boy.
