Snippet #2709736

The dragon’s ears lowered at the descriptions of all the predators on this world. There were so many. While he has been to some that were dangerous, this was the first one he’d been to where flying high would be death. He was starting to get nervous. Even with the others present.

The fact that all the predators on this world had a kind of sixth sense for where blood would be shed didn’t help either. Just being on this world made him…uneasy and frightened. The blue dragon was tempted to reactivate his armor. Still it wasn’t all bad. If he wanted the sensation of the wind beneath his wings, he could safely glide. Which could be nice. For now, feet on the ground. Though it may not make much difference, his scythe was on his back, blade out.

The farther they traveled and the more the creatures of this world were described, the more panicked he got. Though he did his best to hide it. Mostly successful. That was until…

"There should be a good stream up ahead that I've left a few small wooden barge like boats docked at a large pond that connects to the stream. It will let us make the trip the rest of the way with ease and fairly quickly. We'll take one and hopefully that will be that.” Alexia’s words helped him calm down a bit. Being around water has always helped calm him down. Well that and flying but since that was out, water would work.

Ravyn made it a point to step in every puddle they walk past. The water helped calm his mind and lessen his panic. Though it didn’t get rid of it completely, it helped clear his mind. It didn’t help to hear that Alexia didn’t know it’s effects on others even though this was her world. But she also said it takes time to affect sapients.

Even though Ravyn could hop onto the wagon, he opted to shift to his feral form and walk beside it. Still making sure to take advantage of any collected bodies of water. Even small ones which he occasionally drank out of.

“How far away is this stream of yours?” His voice was deeper in his feral form but still held his usual curious tone. If with a hint of nervousness. Ravyn was very much looking forward to that stream and lake.
