Welcome to Gaia! ::

Olarik walked in watching Hiyana. "That slow weak dork not back with Lyra yet? I hope the bandits didn't kidnap her. And if Sardin has to turn into a wolf as he lost the signal from that bracelet he gave her I pity who gets in his way." Olarik said sighing leafing through his book and notes.

Sardin felt the signal briefly and darted off in that direction hoping she was alright. He prowled low watching his surroundings as he came upon a camp he stayed low trying to see if there was a way to sneak into the camp.

In the main large tent Lyra was tied up and had a strap of leather over her mouth having been hit with a dart or two and knocked out was easy to capture. A few men laughed walking through the camp. "Wow this lone female must be loaded or connected to someone who is, did you see how wealthy her dress is/ and that bracelet looks like its worth a large penny. Just if we knew where she was from we might be able to get more money." One said not noticing a large shadow next to one of the tents.

Sardin watched a few minutes and moved when it was clear both following the signal and Lyra's scent. He was sneaking around the tents this way and that until getting behind the big tent. Not aware if anyone had another dog or was allergic to them in the bandit camps that might get him caught.

Sardin peeked into the tent from the back and growled seeing the dog. Growling loud enough for the dog to possibly heard only and possibly investigate the sound. Sardin didn't want to get the whole camp alerted. Just to get the dog to come closer.

Olandrik laughed as he paused. "Please Hitana no need to cause a rukus that could get both of you captured, I am sure Lyra is fine these bandits get paid more when selling pretty girls like Lyra and you if there is no harm and if the person is still untouched romantically get even more. They let money talk and if they knew she was from here I am sure we would get a ransome note requesting a hell of a ton of gold and gems. But since they don't know where she is from will likely try to sell her at the slave market with other females they have captured." Olandrik said yawning softly.

"But Sardin in any of his numerious forms can handle a simple band of bandits in his sleep I know I tested him hiring over 3 thousand bandit thugs to wait till he was sleeping and try to capture or kill him. Well Sardin tore them all apart easily and all this occured in his sleep and he was confused when he woke to the sight he had before him." Olandrik said seeming rather calm about this whole thing.

Sardin growled more annoyed by this dog tearing the back of the tent charging towards the dog which at Sardin's height towered over that dog and Sardin easily slamming his wolf head into the charging dog sent it flying a few feet away. Standing over Lyra he sniffed her over finding the ropes tieing her to a post he easily chomped through the ropes and began licking her face with a big dog tongue.

Sardin braced for people to charge the tent from the dog's barking. One eye watching the tent door and the dog ready o attack hoping a wolf the size of a small horse would scare the dog off Sardin tried figuring out how to carry Lyra if he had to grab and dash with her.

Olandrik huffed. "Oh I don't despise Sardin, Though I was upset at his mother for not telling me what she was. Most dragons see half breeds as inferior to them. Specially pure blooded dragons. I just know Sardin's skills and abilities from my side as well as his mothers, Yes he is my biological son which I don't say in front of other pureblood dragons. Because of what dragons said about creating a child like Sardin is.

The only half breed dragons are complacent of are human and dragon mixes, As dragons can use magic to purge the human genetics easily. Where as its hard as hell to purge werewolf genetics. Which is what Sardin's mother was and so he too inherited her werewolf genetics. Werewolves and a few other types of sub species like them are forbidden to create offspring. Not like anyone can do anything about it or to me if they found out Sardin is my true son." Olandrik said shrugging.

"One other thing Sardin inherited from his mother is well.... lack of restraint in wolf or werewolf forms. Anyone that visual poses a threat to get between their target and the task for that target, Say if he was under the thought of retrieving Lyra any who try to stop him from his goal are expendable to him." Olandrik said then added. "But he will not do anything reckless or half done. Nor will he let Lyra come to harm. Even if he has to carry her inside his mouth to get it done." Olandrik said closing his book where he marked it with a spell watching Hitana.

Sardin bowed his head when she said his name. Then he huffed and helped lift Lyra to his back with a wing. Then as he seen the fog roll in he growled deeply and let out a chilling blood curdling howl and once lyra was on his back strode out into the fog and quickly with a flap of his wings blew the fog away and stared at the bandits. "Hold on tight Lyra" Sardin said in a growl mentally hoping she could.

When she would if she could Sardin jumped away from the spot he was at getting missed by the darts barking as a bolt of lightning crashed into the camp causing a bright flash and Sardin bolted while the bandits if they didn't get hit with the lightning but getting temporarily blinded by the flash. Sardin ran bounding this way and that to get to a clearing to take to the air making sure not to lose Lyra in the process.

Sardin spoke mentally. "I need to take off into the air to get away and I feel you falling asleep again. I can carry you in my mouth if needed so its no problem." He said jumping bucking like a horse to avoid the whip and if this caused Lyra to flip into the air off his back he would catch her in his mouth even if he risked swallowing her momentarily,

He as all dragons even hybrid dragons have whats referred to a cargo stomach where they can carry people and animals alive in it unharmed. He would swallow Lyra into this interior pouch if he had to. Once he secured Lyra he turned facing the bandits and howled again. This time it was purely feral as there quickly was other howling closing in fast on the bandits location.

Flapping his wings to clear the fog hundreds of wolves attacked the bandits 2-5 per bandit and Sardin took off and took to the air flying up to Synda landing roughly outside a few darts in his hips and two in his neck area. Crawling to stuff his head into the castle door he started hacking and regurgitated Lyra before he passed out.

Olandrik sighed walking in having pulled out one of the darts to inspect it and sighed. "Ah she must had been hit by one or two of these things." He said not knowing no new dart had hit Lyra but there was two marks where she would had been hit. "Oh yes this is Sardon this is why its forbidden for a dragon to breed with a werewolf. Because they are hard to control mostly, And they also get really big, This is not as big as Sardin will get in this form.

Right now he is hard to get through a normal human sized door. His back is the same height as a horse. But when his wolf aspect, this current form he is in gets to full grown size he can curl up inside the walls surrounding the town and fill it as if it was a mere doggy bed for him. I would say Lyra may be out for a few hours yet but will wake up feeling bad about wondering off to think beig feeling as everything seems to be moving so fast.

Though the staff I made her is hers to use as well as your sword and the shield sheath. Yes your sheath can fold out becoming a shield. Though I made them for your general use, I think Lyra feels bound to live here thinking it was made to protect this kingdom. Yes in fact it was for this instance of what happened it was intended for you both to purge the darkness from here.

Yet I seen one or both of you traveling the world to purge darkness from as many places as you can in the world. So are these tools for being the royal heirs only to be used to guard this kingdom town? No they are yours to guard the world and fight against darkness the world over." Olandrik said trying to explain many things all at once.

Sardin yelped moving as the darts jump off him as if they all was removed suddenly his skin was flexing as if all the muscles moved at one time and he started shrinking turning back into a human form though still out cold. his clothing was in tatters if anything was left covering his body.

Sardin grumbled a little and snuggled up in the blanket cutely. Olandrik sighed softly. "Well its up to you, Yes well she needs heirs to take the throne one day when she gets bored, but I am sure she will let ya travel as long as your careful and visit often,

Besides that if your outnumbered you can use Sardin for a quick escape or your special dragon ponies, yes the fiery main and tail pony you rode up here is a cross of unicorn and dragon. So they can use magic too to assist you both. though it will take time for them to get better at using that magic. So you need to both spend time with them let them get to know you better.

The stronger your bond with your pony the better their magic will be." Olandrik said and looked to Hitana holding out an odd vile with a reddish blue fluid in it. "Here this should help neutralize the sedative affecting Lyra just a few drops every few seconds until she responds, than have her drink the rest. But get her to bed. I will wake this buffoon after its neutralized by his own body's ability." Olandrik said as Alissia walks in having heard the conversations.
