A friend to all denizens of the forest, Rika prowls the woods for Poachers, Hunters, and all other manner of bad beings. A solitary being, she prefers the company of animal to the affairs of man. Strong willed and kind, she is quick to call someone friend but never forgets her enemies and those who would harm the forest.

"A what? A Dragon? Show me!"

A small white sparrow fluttered about in Rika's face, chirping and telling her what was seen. The roar could have been proof, but there are some things in the forest that could make that sound. The sparrow tweeted and chirped before fluttering off into the foliage. Rika dashed forward and quickly scaled a tree.

With the precision and grace of an acrobat, she jumped between branches, swung on vines and slid down mossy logs to quickly navigate through the woods she so desperately guarded.

A dragon could be bad news, depending on the type and gender, the whole forest could be in danger. There were a few caves around in which large hoards of treasure might be found and Rika knew of the fierce passion in which Dragons coveted gold. She dashed quickly and silently through the woods until she reached the lake.

She stayed hidden in the darkness of the brush as she spied the Black Wyrm. Other than the Silver Dragon, she had never seen another. Great stories were woven around the Great Serpents and their potential. Cynder frightened Rika, though she was magnificent.

Parisa tensed, she didn't even think about them smelling. How could she forget such a thing? She slowly emerged from the trees, her wings were still out and her cloak still on the ground where she had dropped it. Her silver hair shinned in the sunlight and almost made her wings invisible.

Her hand made a small gesture, like a wave. "H-Hello...I uh...I was here first, but it isn't mine. You can totally drink from the water too. I was just...I wasn't trying to sneak up on you. I was actually curious you see, my parents... they... they told us stories when we were younger. Some good and some bad, though I hear the bad ones come from humans." She rambled on and on. Her eyes averted to the river and anything around the dragon to where she didn't have to make eye contact.

Her hands fidgeted with her ivory dress. Any form of bravery was almost gone.

Cynder spied the fairy peeking out, then emerging from the trees not too far off. Of course she was free to drink from the lake, it was there after all. Her head tilted slightly to the left, letting out a heavy breath in which a thick plume of black smoke came from her maw as she rose up to her full height. She made a few steps forwards to get closer to the small creature then laid back down once again, now able to get a better look at her.

Her tail curled inwards and rested by her side as her head slowly lowered down to inspect the creature and took in a few deep breaths then exhaled through her nostrils. With a slow motion, she leaned in and gently rubbed her snout against the tiny fairy in an attempt to calm it down.

"You are alright small one. I don't plan on eating one so small nor would I want to. You are certainly not on my list of favorite foods. In fact, I have never seen such a creature like you. Save for back where I come from. What is your name small one? My name is Cynder"

The Dragoness's eyes shifted towards the trees and scanned the treeline for a moment as another scent caught on the wind. Yet for now, she was more intrigued by this small fairy then whatever was lurking in the trees. After a second, her attention turned right back to the fairy with her head down so she could give the tiny thing her full attention.

Rika was transfixed on Cynder, she was completely different from the Silver Dragon. Rika jumped slightly at the black plumes of smoke, a fire dragon. A fire Dragoness to be exact. Rika quickly dashed around the tree line to find a different angle to observe from.

Then Parisa stepped out of the shadows and towards the Dragoness. It was a Fairy, they didn't live in this part of the woods. The situation grew curiouser and curiouser. A small field mouse scurried next to Rika and began squeaking softly. She reached down and picked the small rodent up and held it level with her eyes. "Go tell your king to spread word of a fire dragon in the Golden Vale, tell him to send word to all corners of the forest to prepare for anything"

The mouse squeaked and scurried off into the woods. Rika's attention returned to the Dragon and the Fairy who were conversing. She kept her eyes trained on the Dragon, her body was crouched and ready to leap and attempt to save the Fairy if the dragon turned violent.

Her body tensed as the dragon got up and walked toward her, only to lay back down again. She wanted to relax, but this was all so new to her. She had to play it safe, though when she was nudged softly by the dragon's muff a small giggle let out. Warm and cold at the same time. She never felt that before.

Carefully reaching out she gently petted the dragon. Rough warm skin ran under her hand. It sort of felt like the cloth they used for their weapons back home. Her hand shot back, what if it was the skin of dragons they used. Shaking her head, that couldn't be. Her people were no match for dragons, let alone one.

"My name is Parisa Evanthe Winters, 7th daughter and twin of the Winters family. It is nice to meet you Cynder, Dragon of....where ever we are." She smiled gently swayed some. "I am not from here though. Oh no, I am from a place some kind of far away." She turned back where she came from and pointed. "My people, my family..." She turned back to the dragon, "they want me to marry and follow the same footsteps everyone takes. No questions asked. I simply do not wish to wed someone I do not love and would like not to be put in a boxed life."

Parisa's eyes followed Cynder, but saw nothing. Then she leaned in, smiled, and whispered, "I am, after all, a Butterfly Fairy."

"I am afraid I do not know the marriage customs of your kind or of those whom walk on two legs. But I do know that we as the females must submit to our males but only to those we find worthy. My mate is a strong male but he knows that I am worthy of his respect. We find our mates in the time that we decide to take them. An odd way of phrasing it but its the best I could do. I am not one for such matters as this is more instinct"

The female let out a plume of smoke from the sides of her maw to avoid breathing it out of her nostrils onto the poor fairy. Her head inclined up and down to nod before she lifted her head again to sniff the air a few times. The scent had moved and her eyes now moved about the tree line before speaking up.

"For a hunter, you are terrible at hiding your scent. Come out so I might see your face and know your scent better"

Cynder rose and turned to face towards the source of the scent, Rika though she couldn't see her through the foliage. While moving, her tail swept in front of Parisa to keep her out of view of who or whatever might be dwelling within the trees. She growled a deep, bellowing growl from within her throat and chest. Her maw dripped a green viscous fluid that dripped down onto the ground. Where it struck, there was an intense sizzling as the earth below began to be eaten away by a very potent acid.

"Parisa stay behind me just in case this is not a friend...I'd prefer you safe from harm"

Rika's eyes narrowed "Hunter?" She mumbled. Maybe there was another person in the tree line hiding from the dragon? Shedidn't put two and two together until Cynder's eyes locked onto Rika's spot and she started drooling corrosive spit. "Okay! Okay! E-easy there!" She squeaked as she scrambled out of the brush. "There's no need for violence, my name is Rika, I act as the Green Warden and Guardian of these woods. " She said with her hands in the air.

"I am not armed, I do not wish to bring harm to you. I was simply wondering what a magnificent beast like you is doing in these woods? Some would say, a Black Dragon is an ill omen, that soon calamity will be upon us. Others say, a Black Dragon is death itself. " She explained, stepping forward carefully "Which is it, that brings you to our woods, and what are you planning to do with that Fae Folk?" She asked with a brave face.

Parisa's white cheeks flushed. The mere thought of a mate was embarrassing. For her to find someone would be almost impossible. She was too adventurous, too curious, too naive or so her parents and elders told her. Maybe she was, but she would be okay with that as long as she could find friends along the way in her adventures, but what if one day the adventures lead her to settle? Shaking her head, she wasn't going to think about that, not when there was a whole world out there waiting for her.

She had no idea that there was someone else among them and was a bit taken back at the sudden movement of the dragon. She did as she was told and hid behind the dragon, if only to peek around it to see who or what it was. The small girl was tiny, something she wasn't expecting... especially as a hunter. The hunters she seen on her way here were either bulky men or lanky women.

"Which is it, that brings you to our woods, and what are you planning to do with that Fae Folk?" said the tiny girl. Was she worried about her? Right then her defenses were up, what if the tiny girl was paid to bring her home.

"I won't go back! You can go back and tell my parents that!" She yelled from behind Cynder.

An audible hiss came from Cynder's maw while she stood in front of the small fae creature while looking upon this 'Green Warden' with suspicion. She had never seen nor heard of this organization before but the little fairy's yelling made her feel even more so then usual. She growled low while her eyes glowed a dull shade of red. She lowed herself down as if to pounce but held there.

"I came here to rest for a moment before searching for some food when I encountered this fairy drinking from the pool. She said she had left home and was exploring when she saw me. Seeing as how I had no reason to eat her, I wished for conversation as my home is farther away from here then most human populations. Then I smelled you...and I don't know what to make of you Warden"

Cynder's maw still drooled the acid as she glared daggers at this woman before taking a single step forward.

"So I ask you: Are you a friend or a foe?"

"All you need to know is a Green Warden is a friend to the forest. As long as you remain as such then we have no problems."Rika said with a smirk "It seems like you have no intention of harming the forest, So I suppose I will take my leave. Good-morrow" She bowed and dashed back off into the forest.

Meanwhile, snoozing in a nearby tree was a young feline looking creature. Her tail swayed dreamily as she enjoyed a pleasant dream on a pleasant day. That was until a black cloud of smoke invaded her nostrils and lungs. She gasped and choked as her eyes shot open. She sneezed twice and coughed more. She dramatically gasped for air and shifted her weight slightly, enough for her momentum to topple her over.

Her face registered surprise for a moment before she started to flail her arms and legs. "N-N-Nooooo!!! Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!" She screamed as she fell out of the tree, bounced off a few branches and landed on the ground, Face first in front of Cynder and Parisa with an "Ooof!". Her long tail fell over her slowly, like a drape. She groaned and whimpered a bit as she raised her head slowly.

The first thing she saw were claws like meat hooks. She held her breath as she looked up to see the Dragon's face "Hehehehehehe........heheheheheheheh........" She chuckled nervously "I was just...eheheheh....bye!" She said before dashing back toward the tree line, only to make it five steps and trip.

She did a silly little hop for a moment before, her arms flailed like a bird struggling to fly, before she fell on her face again. She skidded a few inches on her face before she stopped and flopped on the ground producing a small cloud of dust. Her tail once again draped over her slowly on the ground. All that could be heard from her were some more whimpers and groans.

Persia's head tilted to the right, something was off with that Green Warden, but before she could do anything the tiny creature was gone. Not that she didn't mind, if she was working for her father and mother, it would be some time before they would find out though. So she would be safe for now, at least she hoped.

She had turned to look up at Cynder just in time to see a fluffy creature appear in front of them. Parisa's head tilted to the right and watched as the fluffy bunny like creature looked up at Cynder and became filled with fear. Looking from Cynder to the new creature she didn't know what to really make of it, but she knew that many things were afraid of the dragon.

She watched as the creature ran off and fall, a small laugh escaped her throat. "Are you okay?" She said behind her hand as if to stop the laughing.

The Sea Elf Aquari moved silently along the bank of the river. It had been two day since she had left her village to scout up the river. Two days of nothing but trees and river. That was until the Shadow flew over.
When Aquari first saw the Shadow she dived into the river fearing for her life. It was there that she felt it and looked up seeing the Shadow was a dragon.
Sticking to the river Aquari followed the path of the dragon until she reached the lake. Staying under the water she listened and watched not daring to move for fear of being discovered by those in the clearing.

Cynder's expression calmed for a moment or two while this supposed "Green Warden" talked whom then took off towards the woods once more. She relaxed and simply just huffed and laid down on the ground. Her head went down and rested on her claws while she watched the woman leave.

"This is so strange. Where I come from, Dragons are revered and highly respected. In this world, my kind are little more then animals or outright evil. This is quite the perplexing land...I wonder if my mate was wise to bring us here"

She was about to continue that thought when the humanoid fell out of the tree and then proceeded to run and fall in an attempt to flee. She only blinked and gave an exasperated sigh with a roll of her eyes.

"There is no reason to flee little one. I am not going to be doing anything evil nor am I going to gobble you up. Are you alright?"

She asked, not even bothering to move this time around. Now she was simply sunning and laying in relative comfort and peace. If this creature was a threat, she would just make plans accordingly.

Parisa looked towards the lake for a moment, something had caught her eye, but when she went to have a closer look nothing was there. Could have sworn I saw something. She thought. Deciding it was just a trick of the light she stood up right and looked towards Cynder.

"I guess everyone is not so different than my family after all." She said, patting the snout of Cynder. "You have yet to show anyone harm and you would think if you did someone or anyone would have notice by now." It wasn't like she was fully innocent herself though, since she had too been scared and wondered into the trees, but then again she was also the one who first spoke to the large creature.

"Tell me of this place you have come from, Cynder. Is it far far away?" She asked, taking a seat next to her new friend.

Makshab wandered a lonely road far from home. His family had taken his new mission as well as could be expected. Though they were sad to see him leave, they understood The Call could not be ignored. He did not dare risk their lives on the open road, proselytizing to the pagan natives, and risk becoming martyrs. It was with teary good-byes that he left them in the hands of his brother to protect and provide for them.

One year. That was the oath heโ€™d given them. He would return in time for Remembrance Day and the first harvest. If he did not return, then they were to wait for one moon before assuming his death.

He pushed those thoughts out of his mind. Makshab would heed Haโ€™Ariโ€™s call and would trust in the path before him. If it was his fate to die for his godโ€™s service, then he would submit to His will, but Makshab had faith he would be protected on his journey.

Makshab leaned on his staff and continued going wherever the road would take him.
