All subsequent rolls are in posts below

Rolling her slender shoulders, Erionda’s eyes flashed towards the door. The home on Aisko nearly complete gave the hybrid a sense of huge accomplishment. Now all she and Kilian had left were a few of his things before they were fully moved to the frozen world. She felt more at home with the idea Kilian wouldn't freeze now that she had given him the Song of Stone. Even if they were still on Eowyn's hot surface Erionda wondered for how long. She didn't want to linger here any longer.

It helped that she was always able to find stronger creatures in the mountains around the place they would soon call home. It helped to quell the insistent ache she felt needing to hunt. To find a creature and engage it in battle. To use her magic and weapons to her advantage. Rising from the table Erionda moved to gather up her sword. Today made for a perfect opportunity to hunt. Most of her wounds had been giving a fair chance to heal. In her mind at least.

Turning to look up the stairs Erionda gave a soft smile before calling up to her mate. “I’m going out for a bit. I’m just going hunting. We could use more meat.”

It wasn’t a lie, the store of meat had been dwindling quickly with the three Drakein, her mate, and herself all eating it. She had to keep up a constant store of food. Dragon meat was nearly impossible to bring home and the strange creature that so closely resembled a water based Drakein, had meat that tasted like rotting slimy goop. Neither of the Drakein she had tried feeding it too would look twice at the offered meal. Alkara meat on the other hand was well worth the effort.

Alkara were as large as the dragons themselves. At least, the ones she had fought alongside Junjie with had been massive. The resulting meat she had split between them had been addicting. Disappearing faster than any of the other foods she brought home or attempted to grow.

Uassae lifted his head stubbornly. While he knew Rio was able to handle herself well, she had been getting in a lot of accidents as of late. And as much as he didn’t want to admit it. He didn’t want her going out alone. And he knew he and Lanzecki would not be enough for her stubborn desire to kill the dragons around their home.

"Shouldn't you wait for Kilian this time? I bet you a meal he's worried about those wounds on you from the last time you tried to hide them" It was uncomfortable for Uassae to admit the Oblivionite did a good job at making sure Erionda didn't do anything reckless when he was around her.

Erionda shot the Drakein a disarming look. "I'm sure he has other pressing matters than to worry about me. Besides I would only slow him down and cause him problems." Slinging her sword over her back and latching it into place, Erionda leaned across the table to pluck one of her fathers books from where it lay open.

Tying the leather bound item closed she pressed it carefully into her bag. "Who's to say he wants to be out fighting anyw-" Erionda's mouth shut quickly at the sound of something descending the stairs.

Blue and violet eyes settled on the hybrids dark skinned mate. She hadn't expected him to come out of bed so soon. The color in his cheeks seemed to force her own to warm. Butterflies swam in her stomach anew, a reminder of his gentle dominance the night before. Her breath hitched paunfully in her chest as Kilian closed the distance that seperated them. Her imprinted sword clattered to the ground. Filling the silence of the air as her arms found thier way about her Oblivionite's body.

Her body melded against his as thier lips connected, fitting like a puzzle piece against him. She loved these moments, loved the feel of his arms holding her. Smiling softly, with a sigh, as he pulled back she searched his face. Was he planning on keeping her from heading out? She refrained from shaking her head, her smile faded into concern. He was wearing his battle gear! Trying to remember to breathe Eriinda blinked twice before nodding her head.

"I thought now would be a good time to hunt for some more meat. Our Drakein eat alot, especially Lanzecki. He's such a pig." She heard her Keindreds mental snort aware he was only on the other side of the house watching over the Hastar pair in the pen out back.

Shocked into silence at the words that followed Erionda wasn't sure how to respond. Feeling vulnerable under Kilian's gentle perusal, Erionda turned her head away trying to hide her rising blush. She secretly loved the way he was willing to challenge her like this. Mind spinning furiously she reached into the bag. Searching for the leather bound book she had only just discarded moments ago.

"Ok," Erionda agreed slowly. Nodding her head as she extracted her fathers leather journal. One she had been pouring over endlessly night after night. The familiar sound of the binding shifting as the cover opened away from the pages, the hybrid quickly thumbed towards a desired location.

It had felt like forever since the had been out fighting as a pair. And there was nithing as satisfying in battle than having the ability to fight alongside her mate. After the surprise attack from the Gaili, Erionda wasn't about to argue with Kilian about going together.

Finding the page she had been looking for the aiskala Hybrids eyes rose to meet Kilian's. "Would it be alright to travel to Soudul? There are some monsters here in father's writting I want to try taking on. I bet together, we could harvest a fair amount of meat and the hide might make some excellent armor." Turning the book enthusiastically so Kilian could see the young woman smiked up at her mate. She was almost certian he enjoyed the thrill of a good fight nearly as much as she did.

"We can take the Hastars. It will make the jouney quicker." Erionda offered with a shrug, watching the way Uassae pulled himself to his feet. Prancing over to get a better look at the yellowing pages.

Erionda until everyone was done looking at her fathers journal before she worked the binding closed. Shifting the leather bound item back into her bag with care turning to smile up enthusiastically at Kilian. She wouldn't dream of going back to Soudul without him, the fact he was willing to join her in the dark forest lightened her heart. "Yes Soudul, I know it's probably not the best place. But I don't think there will be many Oblivionite's traveling near where we are going." Part of Erionda was afraid they would run Kilians father again. Trying to push the thoughts from her mind at the mention of Lanzecki.

You bet I'm coming. He can't hold me back. You can't hold me back. Nothing can hold me back! I am not a devilish child that will eat all the meat! Even if it all belongs to me! IT ALL BELONGS TO ME.

Cringing at the roar that echoed from the back of the house. Amplifying the end of Lanzecki's words over the bond. Erionda gave her mate a sheepish grin. "Lanzecki will be coming too, he's outside as usual soaking the sun and 'protecting' the Hastar."

"I'll be flying along above." Uassae rumbled as he pushed his way out the front door.

"It will be good to have you joining us Amadia. You're light sure helps in the darkness on Soudul." Biting her lower lip Erionda reached out to take Kilian's hand in her own. Closing the distance to place a small kiss on his cheek.

"Thank you Kilian. I appreciate you joining me like this." Pulling back Erionda moved towards the back of the house where two Hastar stood waiting to be caught. Sighing Erionda's shoulders sagged. The first wasn't so hard to catch but the second liked to play of game of run-away before being caught and saddled.

Erionda smiled after Kilian as he moved passed her to the fenced pen holding her tamed Hastar. Tamed was a strange word. Both allowed human contact, didn't mind the Drakein as much and could be ridden and used to carry things. That didn't stop her newest one from prancing about, leaving Erionda to wonder if it was still rather young despite it's tall and lanky frame.

Shifting her weight to one leg, her hip shifted direction as she folded her arms across her chest. Watching Kilian enter the pen, a soft smile played on her lips. She hadn't realized till now that the younger Hastar with the dark black fur matched Kilian so well. Letting her arms fall to her sides she glanced at Lanzecki then to Uassae before moving into the pen herself. She didn't mind which hastar Kilian would choose both obeyed commands as best as they could. Though she had spent more time with the calmer of the two.

Approaching the remaining Hastar Erionda ran her fingers through the long blue coat. Rubbing the white scales with her other hand. She preferred the blue one to the black. Not that the black had anything wrong with it, or was unbroken, she just had her preference. Stepping away from her chosen Hastar, Erionda moved back to the gate to pull the leads off the door. Walking up to her hastar Erionda slipped the Halter over its head.

Guiding the beast over to a small box on the far end, Erionda hoisted herself up onto the creatures bare back. Circling around she pressed into the creatures side's with both heals. Clicking with her tongue they moved as a slow pace towards Kilian.

"Here, you'll want this to slip over its head before we leave." Passing the rope to Kilian Erionda pulled out with her right hand. Pressing into the Hastars left side signaling it to turn around. Kissing to her mount bringing the speed up into a trot back towards the gate. Erionda was pleased with the work she had done, her Soudul hastars were very obedient and sensitive to the pressures of her feet. Pulling up alongside the gate Erionda waited patiently for Kilian to mount his chosen ride.

Lanzecki trumpeted his excitement. Leaping from his high stand towards Amadia, exited to see she too was joining them.

Blinking as the darker continent pulled into view Erionda had a harder time not pulling into her protective shell. Pulling her cloak off her Hastars back the hybrid flicked it over her shoulders. Tying the string around her neck before reaching behind to pull the hood smoothly over her face. Her horns finding their spots and slipping through the thin fabric. Shuddering at a gust of wind rushing over her feet Erionda's mulit colored eyes blinked as she regarded the world around her.

Erionda found herself calming as Kilian moved her closer to him. Looking up at his face she gave him a soft smile. Only with him would she find herself stepping back on this distant and forbidding place. Unlike Serenia and Soudul she wasn't as safe here. A disguise was necessary for survival, for herself and she suspected, Kilian.

Taking in a deep breath of the forest air Erionda shifted through her bag to find the journal. Pulling it out, Erionda unwrapped the leather strings before opening the book. Turning page after page to find the required information. Holding it open for Kilian to see. "I am not familiar with this land. I... I don't understand these directions at all." Erionda admitted, her tone was little more than a whisper as she spoke. She felt strange and alien on Soudul. She had no idea what the real Oblivionite customs where here, or if Oblivionite's even communicated as much as she and Kilian did. "Would it be easier, if people ask. That you are merely guiding me, a Dovaa, through Soudul?"

For now she would have to pass as Dovaa. Even then, traveling with her had the promise of posing dangerous effects. Uassae yawned, extending his front claws out flicking his tail into the air as his belly pressed towards the ground. He was sleepy but willing to accompany the group, he rustled his wings before pulling himself up beside Amadia. Searching the forest eagerly.

Lanzecki tore off the boat with eager haste before anyone else could see him. Dashing forward into the forest before circling back. Stamping his front paws in the ground, snorting at a rustling leaf before dashing back into the forest again.

Erionda nodded slowly, trying not to let the anxiety in her mind show through her features. Shifting seamlessly away from Kilian, Erionda pulled the lead on her Hastar's head around to face her as she hoisted herself onto its back. Shifting the reigns into the proper length the hooded young woman waited until Kilian had mounted his chosen Hastar. Waiting until he asked his Hastar to move before kissing her own to follow in a smooth lope behind him.

Uassae took to the skies. Content to know through the bond where the hybrid was, while enjoying the feel of the smooth glide over the trees. Some part of this felt amazing to him. The freedom and proper temperature was much better than the extreme heat or bone chilling cold they had to endure for so long. Flapping his wings he chirruped happily. Pleased to be moving away from the docks and so many other Oblivionite and Dovaa that had recently landed with them.

Lanzecki ran after Erionda with surprisingly good speed. Kicking up dirt as he moved through the underbrush. Dodging in and out of trees and roots as they moved.

Every once in a while Erionda would have to duck under low hanging branches or guide her Hastar to leap over roots jutting from the forest floor. Or remind her Hastar to keep moving when it spooked at a strange sound off to one side.

Arriving at the location took a little longer than Erionda had anticipated. Mostly because her own travels had only covered half a continent at best. Sitting deep in her seat before pushing her heals forward towards the Hastars chest Erionda called her mount to stop. Pulling up behind Kilian before dismounting.

Shivering at the strange aura around the lake Erionda's eyes caught the first movement in the water. Zeroing in on the motion Erionda felt the familiar tingle race up her spine. Dashing forward she released her magic as a strange serpent emerged from the water. Freezing it's head she watched it tumble to the ground thrashing about as it struggled to breath before dying quietly on the shore.

Still hooded Erionda turned to smile back at her mate, a soft whimsical giggle escaped her. "That wasn't so bad."

Still giggling Erionda's smile brightened. Tugging the hood away from her face she reveled in the small amount of pride that swelled in her chest. Kilian had not only seen her attack, but looked pleased with her skills. That alone would have been more than enough for the young woman to survive on.

Watching as he dismounted the black hastar. Erionda's smile faded from her face. Stepping back into the water confused at the rush of motion she felt herself bump into something. Turning slowly around Erionda's heart fluttered fearfully in her chest. Amadia had blocked a powerful attack that would have severely injured her.

Kilian's strong, familiar grasp wrapped around her arm. Pulling her behind him. Too stunned to react quick enough to the sight of more Ukkobak approaching. She was relieved when his wing separated her from their view. She had no idea they hunted in packs. Or was it just her luck they were fighting a nest of them or something?

Taking in a deep shuddering breath Erionda steadied her magic intent on helping with their defense. Gasping as a severed head tumbled towards her. Trying to escape the snapping jaws, the Aiskala hybrid pressed her body firmly against Kilians back. Gripping the cloth around his neck, unaware that they had moved in almost unison.

A slight pressure on her wrist drew her attention. Kilian's tail was away from her just as fast as it had appeared. She felt his pressure leave, his feet slashing as he moved quickly dismembering the remaining two. Smiling towards him as he turned. He was powerful, Erionda was sure there would come a day when her Oblivionite's father would regret the actions that he had taken.

Stepping into the water, Erionda ignored the scream of a Diabi. Dragons all sounded the same in her head. All grumbled and moaned about life. Even their all so might roared did little to phase her. It was the look that passed over Kilian's face that caused her to stop. "K-Kili-?"

Looking up over her shoulder Erionda swallowed as the shadowed frame of a Diabi pulled into view. Settling on the shore only a few paces from Kilian. The world seemed to slow down before Erionda could will herself to react. The Dragon seemed to be aiming strait for her mate. What was worse, Kilian was dropping his weapons!

Fear, concern, worry, panic. All tumbled about her heart, wrenching a cry from her very soul. Her eyes watched as the Dragon's jaws opened. Drool spilling into the water around it's feet, a roar sounded as the razor sharp talons racked through the water towards Kilian.

Erionda moved forward, reaching behind her to pull out her imprinted weapon. Stumbling forward in the muddy surface as she tried to move faster, her magic reacting to her frightened state. Sizzling along the surface of the water ahead of her to create a barrier between the claws and her love.

Uassae was the first to reach the Diabi. Snapping at it's tail to distract it. Nothing seemed to work even the wind picking up trying to press the monstrous creature into the ground. Slipping in the mud Erionda forced herself between Kilian and the Dragon. A fierce fire blazed in her eyes as she stared the creature down. White feathers burst from her back as she took flight her sword raking up the length of the Dragons neck.

Muscles strained to keep her in the air her right wing giving way. With another cry Erionda fell towards the watery surface. Disturbing the rest of the water as she fell into the water. She saw the bubbles rise from her fallen form as she sank further below the surface.

Reaching the floor Erionda tried to kick off back towards the surface. Her foot catching on a slimy tendril of plant life. Wiggling to pull herself down, Erionda began fighting with the very thing that held her trapped below the waters surface. Her fingers slipping before they could grasp onto anything. Movement on the right caught her attention. Trying not to scream as two more Ukkobak caught sight of her struggling. Each drawing closer. The panic flushing her system was making her accuracy decrease with each ticking second. The lack of air was making her dizzy. Reacting in a last ditch effort Erionda's magic burst to life again. Encasing both monsters in ice.

Uassae and Lanzecki cried out simultaneously. Both looking towards the place Erionda was trapped but unable to move very quickly. Crying again as two icecubes popped above the surface. Lanzecki's movements slowed as he neared the first block of ice. He was starting to feel dizzy this wasn't right!

Uassae screamed again diving under the water in an attempt to reach his bonded.
