"What sort of plans?" Eclipse remained as still as possible to hide his presence in the water, not wanting to give away his presence if this girl was going to help by staying with the humans.

Myia thought for a bit. "I have no clue." She bit her pinky finger. "Whatever it is she must want it to happen or she wouldn't have that person watching me. At lest I think that guy is working for her." She put her hand down. "Cause it would explain why she has not been around at all lately." She whispered.

Max turned and watched as the two dragons left for the time being, and then turned towards Kai, shrugging a little bit as he sat next to Achiu in the same spot he was in before. "We're alone, for the moment, anyway..." He said, and though the green dragon was a few feet away, he was asleep. After a few seconds, he gestured to the spot next to him, signalling Kai to sit as he chuckled at what Kai said. "Sounds to me like it's happened more than once, Kai..." He said, smiling a little bit before sliding the pack off of his back, moving it infront of him as he opened the main pocket, pulling out a granola bar, feeling a little hungry. After opening it, he looked at Kai. "Want one? I packed a few, not knowing how long I would be out today." Max explained, waiting for the other human's response. Meanwhile, on the main docks the humans had built on the island, a man with a large backpack-that stretched his entire back and then some-just got off the latest ferry. After a few moments, he looked down as he rummaged though his pocket, pulling out a PDA, pressing on the touch-screen to bring up a screen. "Now, his family said he was on this island, hoping to encounter dragons, maybe even get close to one... If what the news says is true, I may need to get the number for the hospital around here..." He muttered to himself, before shaking his head, chuckling a bit. "I knew he was a fighter, it showed with how fast he recovered... But none-the-less, I told his family I'd check up on him, and I've always wanted to visit this place..." He said, before pocketing the device and walking off the dock, heading towards the nearby shops and inn to see if they'd seen whom he was looking for.

"It is hard to be civil around brutes," the dragon responded, her gaze shifting to Sa-ar. "They put me in on edge." She slowly stood up, stepping away from the mudied folder, sniffing it and nudging it gently with her nose before turning away and snorting. She dug in the dirt around the pages a little, but then decided it was still too damp to move anything. She calmly gazed towards Grael once more. "Perhaps we ought to start with introductions. I am Salkuriatha of Rukwa."
Talking thus far had not been Sa-ar's strong point. However, he stood on some strange sense of duty, and though scowling still, he inclined his head and tried to force on a neutral expression when Salkuriatha introduced herself. "I am Sa-ar."

Kai grinned, but shook his head, "Hm, my back and butt are a bit sore at the moment.. and I think I'd know if I fell more then once.. unless I hit my head really hard.." he sort of cringed at that possibility, but dismissed it since he didn't have any sign of head trauma, "No, but thanks anyway. So..would you remember where it was you rescued Achiu from? Like if Eclipse flew us around.." Kai stepped a few feet closer to the opening of the cave to get a better view.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eclipse was silent for a moment, "..then how could you turn it against her, or even communicate with Kai or myself later?"

"I am Grael of the Open Seas." Grael introduced herself. She was not entirely sure how to react to this seeming change in the discourse, and decided on putting a genial face on things. "I did not mean to be quite so abrupt but we were tracking a human. I have reason to believe she works alongside the labs that continually kill and capture dragons."
Grael would leave it at that for now. She did not entirely trust this dragon, but any dragon was more trustworthy than the humans.

Maximillion finish unwrapping the bar and bit off a fair-sized piece of it, before looking up thinking as he chewed. After a few moments, he swallowed, and began to speak. "I don't think I could tell any sort of direction from here. I remember covering alot of forest, and not much else..." Suddenly, his eyes widen and he stood up quickly. "The forest!" He began, lowering his voice again, so was not to wake the sleeping green dragon. "I remember! I marked my entire path when I left the apartments in the main settlement! If someone would take me back there, I could lead you guys right to the place!" He said, praising himself now more than ever for taking precautions so he would not get lost. Meanwhile the man at the docks continued asking around, seeing if anyone had seen a boy fitting a certain description. It was only after ten minutes did he find the place that the lad had spent the previous night. It took a bit of convincing for the owner to forgoe the location of the kid, but eventually he was able to get it, but that made his job all the harder. "So... He's already out there... Greeaat..." He said, looking at the forest, before sighing, and beginning his own trek. Unbeknownst to him, he was headed right towards a lake, and would arrive there within a forty-five minute time.

"Sa-ar and... Grael you say? Hmm that name does stir something in my memory..." the dragons responded, lifting her chin and stare up through the canopy of leaves, as if she could search her mind in doing so. After a moment she shook her head and glanced back at Grael. "Probably from some myth or legend or other... with both human and dragon stories filling up my mind, I get them crossed. Grael does sound like a sort of wine vessel the humans go on about, some religious artifact. Oh but with a subtle inflection, maybe one of the Gods or Idols of dragonkind. Sa-ar... that sounds reminiscent of one of the old dialects that has gone out of fashion with the humans. How very interesting... and yet... oh but never mind that, I'm rambling," she caught herself, about to pick apart the Aztec sounding name he had introduced himself as when they had spoken to her as a human. "If this human indeed had anything to do with these labs, I'm sure these pieces of paper might give some information. A pity they are wet, dirty, and smudged now, for I read several of their scripts." The dragon pulled at the corners of her mouth as if to smile, showing some of her jagged teeth in the process.
Sa-ar was not only getting impatient, but now bored. He found a tree to lean against. He folded his arms sulkily over his chest and just passively watched the two speak, occasionally glancing elsewhere at various foliage around him, or catching sight of some small critter that would normally be beneath his mighty notice. However when she was analyzing their names he raisedf an eyebrow and looked more focused on her again.

"I was named for the Goddess of Chaos, as my parents found me to be quite the unpredictable one when I was young." Grael explained as Salkuriatha rambled on about the meanings of names.
"You can read this human script? I don't think they are entirely beyond repair. As long as we don't mess with them they should still be legible when they dry." Her gaze moved to Sa-ar, who was obviously tiring of the conversation. She turned her attention back to the dragon at hand. She tried to think of something to say, but was not good with smalltalk.

Kai glanced back at Max when he was talking, then looked back outside and nodded..it would be nearly impossible to find something through all that mass of green. It startled Kai when Max suddenly blurted out 'the forest!' and he nearly lost fell again.. but dismissed that and backed up till he was closer to Max. "So we have a trail straight to the place then, that is the best news I've gotten in awhile... once we get there we can tell 'um we're there to see Lillia and they'd probably let us in." He grinned.

Ci'nala watched as Max approached Achiu. She couldn't help but get slightly defensive, but not enough for Max to notice. She smiled as she watched Eclipse leave, then turned to Kai. "What's wrong with him? He seems...tense."

"Chaos, ah yes, that would be it. With so many languages and so many legends a name can be so ambiguous." The dragon looked back down at the papers. "Hmm, yes, it is mostly legible... but some of the words are blotted, but I can fill in the gaps." She hmmed and hawed a little at the top page, gently wiping some of the dirt aside with a knuckle, not daring to touch the fragile paper with her claws. "Well..." Salkuriatha quietly wondered to herself if it would be prudent to help the so called superior beings just this once... but she still could not help but resent the hypocrisy of dragonkind. "They appear to be notes concerning a test subject. There really is just a series of letters and numbers that represent their subject... let's see... D for dragon I imagine, but G and R could be for multiple things. Then some numbers, which I assume is serial. Hmmm." She scanned the first page a little. "I'm guessing GR could mean Grade... or green... some sort of subclassification..." The dragon offered up a bit of a shrug before glancing back up at Grael. "Ths first page doesn't have a lot of information. A small introduction, some disclaimers... and I dare not try to pick these up just yet."
A snapping sound could be heard as Sa-ar stooped down to pick up a fallen branch, just to sit and break it into smaller pieces to keep his hands busy. In his dragon form this was seldom a need, but with extra appendages came the urge to use all of them. "I never heard of any God of Choas. Only God I know is myself," he murmured.

Grael listened patiently as the small dragon explained what she could read from the paper. She nodded as she listened to the possible meanings to the D and the G-R. She had assumed they had dragons in custody and this proved it. now she had to find a way to get them all out so she could destroy the lab, and any human not laid claim to by another dragon.
"It's alright, we can wait." Grael responded to the papers conditions. "Unless you have business to get to elsewhere." Grael was still uneased by the sudden dissappearance of the human. There was not reason for the human to have left the papers in the middle of the forest alone, and if she had fallen in the river the papers would surely have gone with her.
She chuckled at Sa-ar's response to her name. It figured that he would think of himself as a god. He surely acted the part.

Salkuriatha offered yet another shrug. "Hmm... I am not in a hurry per se, but I do not fancy the idea of sitting around all day. These papers being so close to the bank will mean it will take even longer to dry... unless we had something firm to scoop under the papers and relocate them somewhere to dry out in the sun." She twitched her tail and glanced at Sa-ar for his remark. "I never heard of a God named Sa-ar before... you must be obscure in the very least if one at all," Salkuriatha said.
Sa-ar glanced over at her narrowing his eyes. "Sa-ar is my given name, bestowed upon me by my father, Sirrush. I never revealed it unto the lesser beings that worshipped me, for they were content naming me in their own fashion," Sa-ar said defensively.

grael gave Sa-ar a penetrating glance at his comment as she thought on the problem at hand. "Maybe if we can find a flat enough rock, or a rotting log...." she suggested.
As she thought she looked around to see if she could spot anything that was either useful or that would give her a new idea. The papers now seemed much more important since she had found out what was on them. She was now much happier that they had run into this dragon and the papers rather than the human herself.
However, she couldn't decide if it was luck that the papers had come into possesion of a dragon that could read them, or if there was something wrong with this picture.
