Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I understand. But please, you must starting telling me about these types of things that could put you in harm's way." Amaya said a little softer this time. They soon got to the gate and Amaya climbed onto Crow, waiting for Vivian, though she and the horse seemed impaitent.

Amaya nodded and then kicked Crow into a run, forcing the horse out into the woods and off towards the border of Keros. Once they got there, Amaya slipped off Crow and sent her back into the cover of the forest as she stepped out onto the open field and over where the group of strikers that had been protecting Dariya, was now standing quietly with their heads bowed. Amaya slowly made her way over until she was about twenty feet away, and then the strikers all turned and lashed out at the queen. She was able to avoid the deadly maws, but then walked forward still. "Step aside. I've come to pay my respects." She ordered in a cold tone. The strikers just roared at her but she pressed towards the group. One was about ready to smack her with its tail and end her life, until she turned and glared at it, both staring into the other's eyes. She wasn't messing around. Her eyes revealed how angry and upset she was and that she would not let the strikers get in her way, so reluctantly, they backed off and let Amaya walk up to Dariya.

Amaya raised one hand just barely above her shoulder and signaled for Vivian to come. "Let her by." Amaya hissed as soon as she heard one of the strdown yet again and then let Vivian pass.

Amaya rested a hand on Dariya's giant head and closed her eyes, saying a prayer for the fallen beast and thanking him for the many times he had helped her. She then stepped away, waiting for Vivian to finish before she would let the strikers take care of the body.

Amaya nodded to the strikers, who began to blow fire on Dariya's body. Slowly, his body broke down and everything turned to ash, which blew away in the wind quietly. The strikers left and Amaya whistled for Crow to come out. The horse came running and Amaya climbed back on the saddle, waiting for Vivian as she looked off towards the strikers' territory.

Roran had followed the whole way on Syrva, but was far enough back for them not to realize he was there. Looking into the clearing, the strikers did try to attack her, and he was about to shoot an arrow, but he refrained, for Amaya had it back under her control. Watching in silence, when Amaya got back on Crow, he had Syrva step backstep a few paces, turning sideways incase they had to get ahead to not be found out.

Watching his wife head off towards the Striker territory, he had Syrva run after her, but was sure to avoid Vivian. Once she got off Crow though, Roran did the same. Looking into Syrva's eyes, his were serious. "Saty within the woods, but avoid all reatures at all cost. Do you understand? Do not get caught by anything, or anyone. Please, Syrva." Turning on the horse, he followed Amaya on foot. That was until she reached the cliff. He'd have to wait for her to fully climb the cliff before he could even begin. Sitting in a tree down there, he just watched, very nerve racking since she could fall to her doom at any moment when dangling there, and he could do nothing to help her.
