Aurae Draco's Story

Aurae Draco

"umm could one of them be spirit?" Aurae was mad at herself for never paying attention to her fathers lectrues that he always told her. 'damn i should have listend to him. 'but whos going to be my partner though'subcouciously rubbing her chin and she heard Mordecais answers and a small smile crossed her lips. "oh thatts rigght, hey umm Mordecai would you like to be my partner for training?" Aurae noticed she had actually said umm and wasnt quite sure why.

Aurae Draco

slighty disappointed about not getting the answer right she remembered her father talking about light and dark. 'light and dark hhmmm' she began to ponder the possibilities of light and dark but quickly gave up as there were too many. Aurae's eye's followed Nick as he paced back and forth in front of them. "oh I cant wait to start sparring" she whispered letting out a large sigh and she fell back onto her back making a loud whoumph. she smiled up at the sky but her expression soon changed for that of a more blank stare. her nose twitched as a breeze came over bringing along with it a three different scents 'oh its Athest and two other people wonder who they are, oh well guess ill find out later' and she closed her eyes as if to take a nap, her hands laced behind her head. but in truth her body was tense just incase someone might try to ambush her as strange as that sounds.

Aurae Draco

she opened one eye to peek at Nick, "no you are not boring me, but I am curious as to who just arrived in the main office" closing her eye again. and began to day dream of a sparring match she had with her second oldest brother; Louis. he was a good opponent but she was always faster then him when it came to races and he always got mad at her. letting out a huff Aurae sat back up opening both eyes as they teared up a bit but soon they dried up, leaving no trace of any possible tears.

He nodded slowly as nick explained about the elements, chuckling softly to himself that he'd got the correct answer. Listening intently he nodded slowly as the weaknesses of elementalists was explained, though he kept looking over towards the lockers wondering if he should ask Nick if it would be alright for him to pick one; however he stopped himself as he saw that Nick was busy trying to get Aurae's attention. Though she was distracted and lying down without much care for the rest of the world he couldn't help but shake his head as he let out a dark laugh due to her observation of the new arrivals at the office, clearly she had been paying attention. Once the girl had jumped up and was focusing on events in the arena again Mordeci called out to Nick "Should I get myself some armour as well, and join in with the sparring?" he shrugged slightly and half smiled towards the guy.

Aurae Draco

she snorted at Nick's comment but decided to say nothing of it 'just leave ot be Aurae, just leave it be' anger rising up in her. she glared at the man but soon took on a more calming expression after taking a deep breath she walked over towards the grey footlockers;upon finding hers she opened it. "ohh the armour is rather dull.."commenting on her armour which looked nothing like Nicks.

"ahh there we go got armour now i just need-" "wait a weapon!" she glared at the selection of many weapons and hated them, all of them. "tch weapons the hell am i gonna do with weapons" she hissed walking past them pure hatred for the things clearly written on her face. she stood before Nick her arms folded and was trying very hard not to hurt someon or to transform and just leave the place."I refuse to use those abominations is that clear Nick i will not use them, ever" hoping to make it clear that she did not want to handle weapons.

Aurae Draco

fury welled up inside her and it took all her might not to transform fully and crush Nick like a bug. 'no, no that wont work he's diffrent' and guessing from his stance Aurae knew that Nick wasnt someone to take lightly. she began to growl rather fiercly as if in destress, her eyes began to glow a bit more than normal becoming dragon like;but she didnt transform.

instead taking a deep breath she exaled calming herself te best shw could. the looking to the sky hissing furiously "Damn them Damn them all!" after taking another deep breath she was now calm or she tried to be. she shook with anger as it was considerably hard for her to stay calm. through clenched teeth she looked back up to Nick. "one; i dont think this training is pointless I think it was going to be fun but then you mentioned weapons, and two; I refuse to use what killed my "sister" and have been killing off my brethren for years,I will not be like Them. i apologize for sounding rude Nick but I just cant use them, I just cant. I understand that it may help me in many ways but i never stay in human form hardly just to become like them im sorry Nick I really am." giving him a sad look of determination. her eyes well up with tears and she choked when she mentioned her sister but she held it in ad looked him staight in the eye daring him to say something about the tears, that welled in her eyes only letting one escape.

"Don't sell yourself short, I'm sure you'd do fine. But watching's definitely fine," Avery hummed, looking for a spot to sit. Yes, watching was perfect. It didn't involve going up against dragons or monsters who could easily rely on physical attacks.
"If you train I will too." Avery shook his head quickly.
"And get pummeled by them?" Avery scoffed good-naturedly, gesturing towards those currently training. Of all of them, he recognized the dragon girl and, even with her in human form and especially without most of his powers at his disposal, she looked like she could snap him like a toothpick. "I appreciate the sentiment, but that's not happening. Come on, those benches are in the shade, unless you'd like to just stand around."

Aurae Draco

she looked at Nick and was relieved he understood but ignored his comment in her being weak in human form. 'thats why i dont like this form' she frowned and went to put her armour away and used the opportunity to wipe away her tears. closing her locker she watchdd as the others prepared for training and for the first time took notice of the onlookers, frowning at the thought that they may have seen her little episode. shaking her head she walked away heading for the woods for some alone time.

"I wish. Something tells me he's going to at least try and make us train though..." Avery let out a soft sound, a mix between a sigh and a groan. What sort of training could they make him do? Better question, what would they make him do?
If he thought that it was strange that Ryan, who had been so worried just saying what he was some ten minutes ago, was casually talking about his powers now, he didn't let on. Instead, he gave another laugh.
"It's the perfect plan. They'll never know if you're training or not. And how are you still tired? I'd have thought after your little nap earlier..." His lips pulled back into a playful smirk. Why, no, he had not forgotten the sleep walking incident.
Even during conversation, he did begin to notice several things around him. The dragon girl, for instance, was wandering off into the woods looking slightly upset, apparently leaving training without dismissal. Then the boy they'd sat near could apparently create ice(what was he, then? Ice elemental perhaps? It was hard to tell with the red bracelets restricted so many people's true forms), and Bridgette kept looking towards both of them for whatever reason. He gave her an idle wave, not really in greeting but to show that, yes, he'd caught her looking at them, before turning back to Ryan.

Aurae Draco

in her time cooling herself off she ended up falling asleep in tree in a rather awkward position. not only that but Aurae was incredibly high amongst its branches, she had no idea as to how she managed to get so high but she liked it.

sitting there for awhile she eventually got bored and jumped out of the tree,landing quite nicley on her feet. "ugh is there anything to do in this forest" letting out a sigh. she felt bad for laying out her anger and fusteration on Nick and for embrassjng her family name. "tch Papa isnt going to be happy when he finds out about this i really should apologize to him."walking in the direction she came from she was interrupted by a large growl. at first Aurae thought an animal found her and was threatening her. but then she realized that it was her stomache thaf let out that loud growl."oh i guess ill have to apologize later after i get something to eat" looking about she stood still for a moment listening yo the forest when she heard a twig snap.

in an instant she darted off towards the sound but slowed to a walk as she stalked a small deer. making sure not to give away her position. after about 10minutes she went for the kill, a bit slow the deer darted off but Aurae had already guessed that and ambushed it taking it down quickly with a satisfy snap to its neck.

for once her kill wasnt bloody and because she was closer towards camp she could smell something delicious cooking in what she persumed was the mess hall. "guess ill just see if they can cook this for me"heading towards the mess hall a big grin on her face. opening the doors she was greeted by loud noise and senseless chatter though it did quiet down when she came in as some campers noticed the dead deer she carrier with ease slung over she shoulder. walking quickly towards were she guessed the cook would be the campers got out of her way and she entered the busy kitchen placing the deer on a clear countertop making herself known she was there.

one of the cooks did see her and he scowled at her for a moment before he realized the deer on his counter top "did you kill it just now?" "yup not too long ago can you cook it" he looked at her with surprise doubt in his eyes but nodded "of course i can now shoo so i can get to work it should be done soon" motioning her away with his hand. he turned his back to her and grabbed a skinning knife to begin the process of skinning the deer. Aurae let out a huff at the mans blunt actions but listened and got out of his way, going back to the mess hall to see if she could find a seat somehwere.

Aurae Draco

Aurae woke up once more in the most awkwards positions, she was still half asleep and you could tell because she nearly fell off the rafters in her attempt to get in a more comfy position. "dammit all"she hissed with venom. jumping down she landed gracefully on her feet and headed towards the bathroom to shower. it felt good to wash off yesterdays dirt, Aurae just realizing that she went to bed all dirty. she was glad she hadnt actually fallen asleep in her own bed cause that would have been terrible.

exiting the bathroom she walked back to the kitchen not caring at te fact she only wore a towel to cover herself up. she looked through the fridge to find a good size chunk of cooked meat from a few days ago and started to cook it on the pan. it has only been about a week or so since she went to the training; she went to just about every camp activity that spiked her intrest that or she had been sleeping somewhere no one would have guessed possible.

just the other day she found out she had fallen asleep on the mess hall's roof. the funny thing was Aurae never remebered how she got up there or even why other than the fact that she was just There. at the smell of something buring she came back to her senses and realized she had burned the meat a bit. "crap man now it wont taste as good" pouting she began to eat most of it but left some out in case Mordeci wanted any. suddenly feeling tired from a near full stomache she sat on the couch and soon fell asleep again wearing nothing more than a towel, her body sprawled all over the couch.

He was sitting cross-legged on his bed with his back against the wall of his room enjoying a moments peace and quiet. An old habit that he'd developed from a simple ritual into a means to temper himself since living in the city it was now almost part of his morning routine. He opened his eyes as the smell of burning flesh entered his nostrils, causing his face to twist slightly as he unfolded his legs and climbed off the bed. The smell seemed to be coming from the kitchen, so he assumed that Aurae had simply been cooking some 'meat' that she'd caught on the grounds.

After the past week in her company he'd grown used to her moonlight habits, and the fresh meat didn't bother him that much. As he entered the kitchen he moved the meat aside as it seemed to be slightly burnt and poured himself a bowl of cereal before walking into the lounge and sitting cross legged on the chair he'd claimed since arrival. It was only then did he take note of the fact Aurae was asleep, barely covered by a towel, on the couch. He choked slightly on his current mouthful before taking a deep breath to make sure he wasn't in danger of catching any more in his throat then continued eating.

Aurae Draco

Aurae slowly opened her eyes yawning she stretched on her back then sat up on the couch. looking around she smelled Mordeci before she saw him as he was eating cereal on the chair he claimed as his, almost like how she claimed the couch. "oh your up Mordeci did you sleep well?" she asked him as she sat there as she fixed the towel a bit so it didnt fall any further than it had. Aurae liked Mordeci he was a fun guy to have around and she liked how she was able to open up to him so esaily 'hmm i wonder why that is' she thought to herself. Aurae had asked herself that question many times but just couldnt find a reason for it so eventually she gave up.

Aurae

she nearly jumped when she heard the announcement and rushed to her room to get dressed. "well i guess todays the big day" a grin on her face as she raced outside the cabin yelling at Mordeci to hurry. she arrived at the training arena pretty fast but didnt seem to be too out of breath. Aurae wore her signiture outfit of a tube top and baggy pants she pulled her hand through her hair making them click as her beads hit one another. Aurae then noticed the new scent "newcomers are they our opponents Nick?" gesturing in the general direction the scent cane from.

Ryan
Ryan listened to Nick explain what was going on, and was confused when he didn't receive a helmet. "What's your deepest fear Ryan?" Nick asked Ryan quietly, causing Ryan to tense up. He was handed a helmet, but it didn't look like the rest. What...?he thought, confused. Nick continued to explain the rules, but Ryan was only half listening. He was currently distracted, flipping out as he realized he was a captain of some sort. Why would Nick pick him, probably the weakest of all of them.
When Nick finished explaining, the other team started laughing as they looked at Ryan. "If that's who we're going up against, they just might as well surrender now, so that we can go back to camp." Ryan clenched his jaw, hands balling up into fists. He really did not enjoy being mocked. Forcing himself to calm back down, Ryan simply grinned, but this time it made him look slightly crazy. "In your dreams," he called back before turning to look at the campers who were sadly stuck with him in a fight.
Nick's question was still floating through his thoughts though. What had he meant by that?

He'd refilled his bowl of cereal before walking after Aurae towards where the rest of the camp was gathering for the coming battle between their teams. As he arrived he watched the others reactions as they listened to nick explaining what was planned today, and how it was being changed by the introduction of a rival camp. So we were going to have to get their flag, he was thinking about it and in all honesty he could probably teleport to it, grab it and return it in under a minute. However he gathered that might be against the rules somehow

"If that's who we're going up against, they just might as well surrender now, so that we can go back to camp."

Mordeci looked over at the team captain of the blue team and smiled slowly, before examining the stretch of landscape that they were going to be competing in in order to gather a better view of what they would have to deal with. He gently crunched some of the cereal before raising his hand to get nicks attention.

"What limits on our powers do we have for this? or are we supposed to do this without any?" he said before taking another mouthful.

Aurae

to say she wasn't mad was understatement, she was furious at being taken so lightly by the other camp. "the hell do they think they are ill tear them to shreds"a deep growl rising up from her chest. Glaring at the other campers who would soon be their opponents and she agreed with Mordeci she too would like to know if they could use their powers or at least some of it. knowing Nick having a full sized dragon as an opponent wasn't exactly fair not that Aurae cared as long as she could kick someone's ass she would be totally fine with it. "so whats the battle plan Nick?" looking over at him a bit calmer than before.

Avery took the helmet reluctantly, weighing it in his hands. It all seemed a little intense for what was basically a game of capture the flag. And camp Bloodlust? Well, that certainly didn't sound intimidating at all, he thought sarcastically, but he couldn't help but wonder how different the two camps were. Well, he got part of his answer straight away- the other camp was filled with a lot more assholes. And Nick was just leaving them to deal with this? Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. He was wide awake now- his body still exhausted, but the adrenaline already starting to pump through his veins. Free range on powers- well at least that might partially help.
Ryan as a leader was a surprising choice, to say the least. However, Avery would probably rather listen to his friend then some stranger, and at least Chase has put in his vote of confidence.
"What do you mean you can't talk to them?" Avery asked in a hushed voice so as to not be overheard by the other group still sneering at them. "Of course you can. You'll do fine."

Ryan looked at Avery and sighed. I'll do fine? Ha, sure, eh thought to himself, fidgeting nervously with his fingers. "Uhh," he started, then didn't continue. He really had no idea what to tell any of them. He wasn't a leader. Hell, he wasn't even a follower. Scratching the back of his head, Ryan looked at his team and then the other. This "game" hadn't seemed to start quite just yet, so he decided to get one question in before it did. "What are all of you? I mean, uh.... I know what Avery is and her," he said pointing to Bridgette," but I don't know the rest of you..." he trailed off. If we have at least some fighters on the team that would be useful, he thought, waiting for a reply.

Aurae Draco

she did not like the look of things already as Ryan had trouble speaking to the rest of them but held back the sharp comment about him not fit for leader. "well im a dragon" she said plainly before looking Ryan up and down processing the info that she could glean from just looking at him, 'well he doesn't seem particularly strong but there must have been a reason Nick chose him as leader' running her hand through her hair making the beads click as she thought of what she could do to ensure they won.
