Welcome to Gaia! ::

Avani smiled brightly and said, "Thank's for allowing her to come. She's usually not this disobedient."

Avani then watched as Nix plopped herself down between the two of them. She smiled down at the fea and said, "Kadryn let you come along so you need to be good while at her house." Avani knew that the little fea wouldn't really do anything wrong. She then looked at Kadryn and blushed a little as she said, "She might sneak some sweets if you bake anything... that's the only real trouble I have with her."

But Avani wouldn't show it, but she was worried about being homesick. She had been to Ayr before, but that had been for a short time, and Oblivion had brought her right back after the star show. She felt safe with Kadryn, just as she had with Oblivion, so she didn't worry about that. She would be working so she wouldn't be bored, and she would have company with Kadryn and her friend.

"I don't think I would be too homesick if it happens." Avani said after thinking about it. She scratched Nix on her head and said, "There is so much to do in a new place that I wound't be able to think of home!"

She loved exploring places. She probably would find something interesting to bring back as a memory.

Avani happily moved the wagon off the ferry. She had come to the conclusion that she did not like boat rides for long periods of time. Being bound to the boat made her restless and about to throw something against the walls out of shear frustration of not being able to walk past the confines of the ship's deck and main rooms. Though, she had to admit, she did like watching the water at the front of the ship as it moved easily through the water. She even had to laugh when some of the marine life decided to join the boat in a sort of race.

Though there was fog when they arrived, Avani was so glad to have the freedom of being able to go farther than any boundaries of water and being wingless. Avani looked at Nix, who was in her lap, and she could see the little fea relax too. It seemed the little one shared her discomfort of not being able to fly or swim freely off the ship.

She wished she had her wings, but she would have to earn them just like everyone else.

The port, despite the fog was very interesting. She didn't know what she had expected, but there being a whole bunch of people of other races was not it! Being sheltered in the rural expanses of Serina, she had never met any other race in her life, but had read about them. Because of this, she was more interested in their culture rather than passing judgement on them like so many of her school friends. But the city was strange in and of itself that it warred with her curiosity about seeing another person of a different race with wanting to get off the wagon and go looking around. There seemed to be different, yet pleasant smells coming from it as well. She hoped it was food, cause she would love to eat something different too!

She was so busy trying to see around her she nearly missed Kadryn's comments about how far her farm was from the port. Two days wasn't bad. She handed the reins of the wagon to Kadryn though, mostly because of the fog and foreignness of the land. She wouldn't know what to do if the hastars balked.

"One day of travel isn't bad!" Avani said smiling. She wished she could poke around the port more, but she forced herself to remember she wasn't here to explore and was here to earn her two dragon orbs. "I hope the fog lifts though! I wanna see everything on our trip! Is it always foggy like this? I thought it was always windy here."

"That's fine!" Avani said smiling. "And thank you! There is so much to see." She couldn't wait to be out in the open again, even if it was in fog as thick as soup! Avani looked down at Nix and held onto her, "Don't go wandering off. I can't find you otherwise."

Nix chirped and curled up on her mistress' lap. She would take a little nap then if she wasn't allowed to go running next to the wagon.

Avani turned to Kadryn and said, "Lead the way!"
