To protect the location of the Palace and the Nursery, the surrounding Mountains and Forests are thick, treacherous, and difficult to travel. Most people don't travel in them at night, as it becomes even more dangerous...

Koku leapt from his hiding spot for the place he had last seen the fish. He dove into the water with his wings folded behind him, catching the fish squarely in his jaws. Coming out of the water, he swallow the slimy thing whole, then shook the water from his scales. He gave a long, low grunt of annoyance. He wasn't partial to getting wet, but if it was the price he had to pay to get the fish he loved to eat... He sighed and looked toward the sky. It was bright and blue and sparsely clouded. He grinned. A perfect day for flying... With a loud whoosh! he spread his wings and drew back like a cat ready to pounce. As he took off, the wind caught under his webbed wings like a boat about to set sail. He hovered on the breeze for a single moment before swooping under the current and soaring into the endless sky above. This was what freedom felt like. He closed his eyes and felt the wind rushing over his smooth, streamlined body, remembering a time when he wasn't so safe and free. But now, living so near the palace, he was free from harm and happier than he'd ever been. Although the threat of danger always lingered in the back of his mind, causing him to remain cautious most of the time...there were times he could just let go and trust that everything would be ok. These moments were few and far between and never in front of humans. But they were special and treasured. Koku zoomed through the air like a bullet, his wings rounded like a falcon searching out it's prey.
As Koku flew close to a particularly tall tree, a huge dark-skinned, red-haired woman burst from within the leaves at the top of the tree. Her huge body flew through the air with perfect timing, like an arrow loosed at a bird, placing her on a collision course with the little dragon. "Don't Swerve!!!" She shouted with an almost overwhelmingly commanding tone and loudness. Her posture was someone trying to leap onto the side of a wall, her knees were bent, and her arms were above her head with her elbows out in front and her hands facing forward. She was clearly attempting to grab onto the soaring dragon, for what reason? Well, that was unknown to all except for her.

Koku had thought he was alone. No one braved the forests outside the palace unless they absolutely had to. He knew that going into them, which was why he felt so safe. So the attack surprised him. He didn't have time to block or move out of the way, but that didn't stop him from trying. He balked, flapping his wings forward, but throwing his body back. It wasn't enough to avoid a collision, but it was enough to keep from being latched on to. The strangely large redhead smash into him at a speed that could have knocked him out of the air if he wasn't careful. And that's exactly what it did. Koku twirled out of control with the force of the hit and began to plummet toward the earth. But he wasn't going down without taking her with him, so he wrapped his wings around her, dragging her down as they tumbled to the earth together, crashing through trees. Koku squeezed his eyes shut until he felt his body hit the ground so hard it bounced a bit and he rolled, letting go of the busty lady.
Nym grunted with the collision and gripped onto the dragon as best she could. Both party's forward momentum pretty much dropped to zero on impact, and they plummeted to the ground, hitting branches on the way down. For the most part it, due to dragon wrapping his wings around her she took less of the hits, though her large size prevented her from being fully shielded. As they hit the dirt, the dragon seemed to break her fall as well. This fact muddled her thoughts for a moment, but she shook them off after bouncing a couple of times and a bit away from the dragon. Nym however regained her poise before Koku, and immediately lunged for a stick protruding from the ground. Her large frame easily crumbled the pour piece of wood as she rolled over it with a sorta tumbling tackle. As she landed and turned about face to be front facing at Koku, makeshift ropes snapped taut, flinging leaves and the like into the air as they rose from the forest floor. "Hmuh! Catch!" She exclaimed happily as makeshift mesh netting rose up all around both Koku and Nym, creating a sorta cage about 20 feet high in a sorta squarish cone shape. This was to prevent Koku from escaping. Nym shrunk into a crouching stance, her arms outstretched in front of her in a defensive posture, like a wrestler. Her heavy boots clunked on the ground as she forgoes stealth and focuses solely on her target while she strafes to her left, slowly encroaching upon Koku. Her stomach growled loudly and her breathing was weak and ragged. It was obvious she was very hungry, and on closer inspection, she was rather dirty, and very sweaty and flush. "M-meat!...." She exclaimed softly. It was clear she had expended the last of her energy with that first leap. Her matted red hair swished a little behind her as she rubbed her sweaty face on her arm, attempting to unobscure her vision.

The impact knocked the breath out of Koku for a moment. He hadn't dropped out of the sky in a long time and he was shaken. He slowly began to rise, trying to shake off the dizziness, when he realized he was still in danger. Koku scrambled to his feet. But in the next second, it didn't matter, because suddenly ropes sprung from the ground, trapping the young dragon. His head snapped from side to side, searching for an exit. There was none. So Koku immediate switched into defensive mode, locking his gaze on his attacker, crouching till his shoulder-blades stretched up from his back, his wings folded in like a cat might fold back their ears. He squinted, staring the dark woman down, also moving to the left so that they circled each other. Koku dug his claws into the ground with each step, his senses and reflexes tingling. It had been a while since he had encountered a human. A long while. But that didn't mean he'd forgotten how to bite off their heads. He blinked when said the word meat is if it was his name or something. He frowned, offended. He was an intelligent Elemental dragon. A mighty creature, not a hunk of flesh. He growled at her aggressively, gnashing his teeth in a threatening manner. He didn't much care for the taste of human flesh, but he would not hesitate to rip her to shred given the chance and the correct motivation. Survival seemed like a good reason. So Koku made a lunge for her, pushing off his back legs and into the middle of the circle they'd been making, claws and teeth bared.

I'm gonna try and go with it as best I can, but I'm not really sure what this cage thing is supposed to look like
The clouds parted as birds dodged out of Tobias' massive air current. The male sighed internally veering left across the edge over the mountain ridge. As he did so the view of the castle appeared, Along with the vast forest below. The Adult Wyvern descended straightening himself just above the canopy. His eyes lined along through the landscape, Amidst a copse of trees stood a massive pond inside were some of his favorite snacks. The massive beast lurch upward using his large wing span to stop himself as he glided down to a skidding stop scaring away some of the fauna around. Arching his neck downward he took a drink his tail poising in the air to spear a fish. As he came up water cascading from his jaw he roared long and loud the thunderous call resounding through the valley.

Nym lunged forward as well, clashing with the little dragon. Her huge palms fell upon the top of his head in a defensive manner rather then an offensive one however. She misjudged her own remaining strength. She cursed inwardly as a claw scratched alone her stomach and she hopped back, clutching her mildly bleeding scratches. She had hopped she wouldn't need to use it, do to the weight, but she had no choice at this point. She dug her foot into leafy forest bed and kicked up what appeared to be a hilt to a VERY large weapon. A sword, roughly 8 feet in height and nearly 2 feet in width. She slung the weapon over her should and gripped the blade with both hands. She planned to end things with a single blow. Her entire being seemed to darken, her presence becoming very grimm, like an executioner.
Without warning her massive frame lurched forward at Koku and the huge sword began to rise then fall with alarming speed. "Hrrraa...ah!..." Just before she could complete the swing, the weapon slipped from her sweaty, tired, hungry hands and was flung over Koku's head, missing him by inches and probably shaving years off his life as it went by! The blade didn't stop however, and ripped through the homemade netting, causing that whole side to be ripped off. The rest of the nets fell limp and there was no longer anything to stop Koku from flying away now. The blade continued until it embedded itself into a tree, deeply, poor tree. Nym groaned as she watched her trap fall apart due to her own blunders. She resisted the urge to face palm, and took a few steps forward before collapsing upon herself, face planting into the fluffy forest floor right in front of Koku. "Food...." She muttered before passing out.

Koku struggled against the weight of the red-haired lady. How did a human grow to be so big? He pushed at her, held her off, writhed and wriggled. He was getting tired of this and craned his neck to bite into her shoulder when his claws caught her stomach and she backed away. He stood there panting, watching her eyes move carefully, like a hawk. Then she pulled the sword and Koku backed himself all the way to the cage wall. He was cornered and afraid and he tried to mask it by acting ferocious. His scales were strong, but he was still young and that sword was huge! As she raised it for a killing blow, Koku clashed his teeth at it in vain, while simultaneous trying to rip through the ropes. A few of them had just started to snap when the unexpected happened. The sword missed him. In fact it left the woman's hands all together. Koku blinked in surprise, pausing. But he didn't have time to react or counter. The blade sliced easily through the ropes and Koku felt his body topple backwards. Perfect! He rolled over and came up on his hind legs, wings spread, hissing through his teeth, ready to scorch her to roasting. But the redhead fell beside him with a heavy dull thud. He watched her cautiously for a moment, not sure what to do at this point. Should he leave her or kill her? He lifted his head curiously to the air as he heard the call of another dragon in the distance.

((Lol, pass? x3 Lol, also, if you leave her there, expect more ambushes xD Oh and the netting was raised like wall, there was nothing to fall from, and her sword was in the dirt the whole time, not on her xP ))
Tobias' ears picked up the sound of a fight further in the forest. Eating his last few caught fish he picked up and began to move toward the sounds. Stopping at the forests edge, There was no way he could get through all of that. The Wyvern roared once again an immense blast of air forcing down the trees in his way creating a pathway for him to move forward. His eyes did the rest seeing a little dragon it looked very young along with a ...human. The white beast growled a word of caution to the smaller one before turning back to the copse looking back to see if it would follow.

Koku looked back at the big human. He stood there like that for a moment, still on his back legs, wings out, a snarl frozen on his face. Maybe this was a trick. This human was unpredictable from the start. Maybe she would suddenly jump up and slash at him or something. He wasn't going to take any chances. But...she still wasn't moving...and he couldn't stand like that forever. He let out a sigh and dropped back down to all fours. What a troublesome human. He walked forward, approaching her body and then stopped. He squinted at her, then stretched his neck forward to sniff. He immediately blew the air back out of his nose. She smelled funny. Like a place he'd never been to. He'd never crossed paths with anyone like her before, that was for sure. He ventured a bit closer, then carefully and slowly slid his front left foot forward till it nudged her arm. He pulled it back quickly and waited to see if she'd react, his eyes wide and alert, raising his wings halfway in case he needed to get away. His nerves were so on edge, that at the sound of another roar, Koku flinched and gasped exaggeratedly, jumping away from the human and stumbling. He blinked and looked around when all of the sudden the trees to his left flattened. He stared. An Air dragon...! He understood the warning and inched away from the human;s limp body, but didn't leave it. What if it followed them? What if it was one of those hunters? He looked to the older dragon questioningly.

((sorry, I left a message for in the quote saying I didn't understand the structure of the cage so I was gonna roll with it as best I could. I didn't realize you hadn't seen. I try to keep my quote in a spoiler so they don't clutter my posts. I should've let you know there was something there. lol, and ya I think a pass is warranted, not much you can do with an unconscious character. And sorry, didn't see the thing about the sword being in the dirt))
Nym rustled a little after Koku nudged her arm. When the roar came, it jarred her awake, though she was too weak to really do anything save move her head to look at the small dragon, and the much larger dragon. She grimaced at this prospect, remembering how vicious the feral, mindless beast that the dragons around her homeland were. "F-food...." She said faintly, extending a shaking hand in an exaggeratedly dramatic fashion at Koku.

Koku looked back at the human, flinching at the sound of her being awake. But he wasn't scared anymore. At this point he no longer viewed her as a threat...for the time being. He still intended to keep his guard up. But he didn't feel the need to move any farther away, since he was just out of her reach now. Her efforts almost amused him, in fact. He watched her motion at him and frown, shaking his head at her. No! I am not food! It irritated him. What was her deal? Was that was she was trying to do? That was a first, no one had hunted him for food before. She really must have come from a very strange place. It appalled him to think any human would eat a dragon. Although he had heard a rumor that Kgashu Elamora ate dragon flesh... At this thought, Koku decided to inch further away after all. Was this woman with the Evil Ones?
Tobias narrowed his eyes at the small dragon huffing at it as air blew past through the trees rustling the leaves. Looking from Koku to the Amazonian woman he growled his distaste for staying here any longer. The Air dragon growled another warning of being here before moving closer his tail moving around in between the two nudging Koku closer toward himself. Curiosity was what got many young ones killed In the face of hunters. Tobias was displaying protective posture over the adolescent before him to show him he would be safe. Growling once more however it came out low and soft a consoling message being put through. It will be alright As he did this his eyes stayed on the woman who had now awakened as she muttered a singular word Tobias tensed up roaring long and loud at her showing dominance and placing a threat if the woman dared to attack again.
