Welcome to Gaia! ::

"that is a shame, though it is hard to get pass the loss of your love and closest friend" the man said as he lit a smoking pipe "I just hope he is happy now, last time I talked he was trying to find a way to lose the spark that gives us life" with that the old man walked around Tervascanto and sat on a bench under the shade of a tree.
Drago slowly made his way to Zana and Tervascanto, the melody he was playing slowly coming to a close, when he came into view he slowly walked over still playing looking a little happier like the first time they met
The old man looked over and sighed "seems those clouds are still there" he said "though his music is still as bright as back then"

Drago laughed and smiled as he was pounce on by Zana "hmm, i know my music could make people feel good but not give them the urge to pounce" he joked before moving Zana's paws quickly turning and picking her up on his back while she was still a tiger "nice to see you again" Drago said to the old man who gave a nod and turned to Tervascanto "keep an eye on the child" he whispered so only Tervas could hear him.
Drago walked over to Tervascanto and patted him gently "you might want to shrink yourself a little" he said "we have to go through the forest path" then with Zana still on his back he began to stroll toward the gates ready he hoped for what might come.

Drago with Zana still being carried walked under the archway that was the entrance to the little place they where now leaving "so many memories" Drago said his voice full of different emotions, "so think this trip will be quiet or dangerous" drago asked wondering, he thought if the tale was true ut could mean it would be a struggle as they got close to the tower, other wise it would be a long peacful walk.

Drago adjusted himself so he didn't drop Zana and listened to tervascanto with a smile.
The path ahead began to grow dark as the stepped onto the path that lead them between two gray tree's the entrance to the forest, he sighed as the air grew colder and the tree's seemed to block out the sun completely so there was few plants growing. Drago sighed, he preferred wide open fields full of life to this cold and dark forest, as the tree's loomed over them all he felt a little trapped, though not being able to fly normally caused that in him. "This path should lead us to some ruins, from there we should see the tower peak over the mountain top." he said a bit distracted as is mind began to wander. after a moment he shook his head a little to break away from the memories he recalled everything to him seemed to play out like the past.

Drago nodded as he felt Zana's weight shift slightly and so changed himself to try and keep balance without dropping, "the ruins are quite old but they hold the easiest path through the mountains within" he said his ear twitching as he heard a growl faintly in the distance, "though as journeys go we might have a problem".

At the Ruins a large pack of powerful monsters resembling wolves had made the entrance a den and had already caught the scent of intruders coming toward them, the largest bigger than a house let out a loud growl before howling letting his pack know that they where about to hunt

Drago tensed slightly "I didn't think that the beasts would be this close to the edge of the forest" he said "normally anything that is dangerous is toward the centre" Drago sighed glancing through the side of his eye at Zana, the way the two where at the moment made them an easy target. Closing his eyes Drago and zana where enveloped in a bright light and when it faded Drago was a small slender dragon one that was good at hunting just like the creatures slowly making there way towards them, Zana was now on the centre of his back sat on a saddle part of the armor Drago had placed on him during the transformation.
The monsters had started to surround the three, Drago could hear the quiet footsteps as they trod on leaves and twigs that lay about, The pack leader stayed at the ruins his body to big to go through the trees like the rest

(no problem, ^_^ she can stay on him for all he cares.
The creatures are like wolves (all I could think of) except there bigger and have red eyes a bit like a demon)

"we have to go through the ruins" drago replied "it's the safest route to the tower" he said as three wolves jumped at them, Drago with out thinking much turned around and speared the beast with his tail "if we had flown we might have also been caught by one of the strange lights that emanate from the tower"
