Vexis
tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt  The faded golden orbs that were her eyes looked back at Kai. She puffed her cheeks out in irritation. She glared up at him before running back to where he had stopped. She smacked his front leg to get his attention. He needed to start moving again. If he didn't want to walk then he was going to fly them somewhere. Her feet had grown sore anyway. "Hey, Kai! What's the hold up?!"

 Raith frowned at his words. Standing up somewhat shakily, she turned and faced the dragon, not scared nor intimidated one bit as most others would be, "Raiel! That is enough! Obviously what has happened has happened and there is nothing we can do about it. Beating yourself up over the past will do you no justice. But rather if you just accept what has happened and move on and forward and find whomever did this and give them what you feel they deserve, then all will be well! Obviously I am fine! I am standing right here next to you. Or do you not see that? Are you too absorbed in all the bad that has happened recently that you are too blind to see that I am lucky to be alive!?! I guess so... I mean, look at yourself Raiel. You can't even look at your mate in the eye because you are so ashamed of yourself...why can't you suck it up and swallow your pride...." her expression turned from anger to sorrow, "I'm sorry for yelling...but you don't hear me otherwise..." she finished with a softer, sadder voice before walking around the massive black, and began towards the valley, slipping back on her shirt as she went.

Kai
tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt  With a roll of his eyes he leaned down and nipped onto her top with his jaws. He flicked his head slightly as he let go so she would land on either his neck or back. She was a good friend, but could be quite irritating at times. He took a few steps before pushing off the ground with enough force to cause it to shake. His long form flew through the air without wings. For some reason he had no use for them.

Scared little Rabbit...
→→→ Please drop your [F r i g h t]! →®ÅíεL← Raiel was shocked when Raith suddenly started yelling, which only made him feel worse. He had lost his mate and now that she was back she thought he was a pitiful disgrace. no matter how hard he tried he couldn't just accept what had happened. he had failed her. He failed to protect the one most precious thing in his life and for that he could not forgive himself. As Raith left him he couldn't bring himself to go after her, he didn't deserve her and obviously couldn't protect her. Pushing off the ground he took flight, shocked when he felt wetness on his scaly cheeks. He was unaware that dragons could cry, but apparently they could. Just as he realized this he closed his mind completely to Raith, not wanting her to be even more angry with him.

Vexis
tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt Out of the corner of her eye Vexis had spotted another dragon in the air. He seemed rather sad. Her eyebrows knitted together. She tapped on Kai's head as she pointed at the other dragon. Though, as she pointed she began to slide sideways. Within minutes she was falling out of the sky and towards the ground. She didn't dare scream knowing that Kai would save her. He had to save her. He was her guardian for Pete's sake.

tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
Kai
tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt Kai's red eyes followed where Vexis ahd been pointing. He saw a sullen looking onyx dragon. He began to wonder what had happened, but decided that it was best to leave it be. Then, he no longer felt Vexis on him. He looked down and saw her plummeting. He flew down and grabbed onto her waist with his front claws. He snared slightly at her. At this rate he was going to need to wear a saddle. Which, he wouldn't like.

Raith looked up when she heard a powerful beat of wings and saw Raiel fly off... her face was written with sorrow and disappointment, mostly in herself. Who was she to talk? She couldn't remember anything and by not fighting back and winning, she put her mate through all of this turmoil. Shaking her head, she felt his mind close her out, and sighed. They both needed their time to collect themselves. Looking about the valley as she approached it, she saw the little hut she called home..it was half destroyed and by the looks of it, by human hands. Raith figured that she should just get to work on repairing it, then going about finding food.
Returning to the forest, she shifted into her dragon form and gave a roar, sending birds flying in fright. With her massive tail, she rose it before sideswiping down against the trees behind her, sending all of them down. Turning back around to face her destruction, she shook her mighty head and ruffled her mane, sniffing through the debris to smell out what the strongest wood was and find the best that would serve as firewood. After locating each one, she piled it all up in two separate piles, using her massive jaws to lift the trees as if they were nothing and clean up her mess. Shifting back into her human form, she staggered a bit, her breathing a bit labored from the shift. Holding her head with one hand, she waited till the dizzy spell was over before walking to the hut and getting out her blade. She had used it before to make the hut and she'll do it again now.
Returning to the wood pile, she worked the bark off of the trunks before slowly and surely working the trunks into rough boards that she would sand down and make smoother. It took a lot of strength out of her and often she would have to rest, but Raith still got the job done..
Hours later, close to dusk, she was at the hut, nailing the boards in with the blacksmith's nails that he had made for the locals. He knew Raith and knew of what she was, but he was friendly. Often he'd give her a bit of food and supplied to keep her going, but nothing more than that. In return, she protected his little shop. But recently, he hasn't needed her services. A
After finishing putting the hammering the last nail in place, she looked at the setting sun. Raiel was still not back and his mind was still closed off...it was worrying her.
Shaking off her worries for now, she cleaned up her supplies and ventured inside her newly repaired home. Raith had cleaned up the inside earlier and had found dinner only a hour before. Going over to the dead deer, she sliced off a good portion of the stomach and munched on it slowly, the only light coming from the fire in the center of the room. It give Raith a ghastly glow as she stared right into the heart of the flame, watching as it danced before her.

Scared little Rabbit...
→→→ Please drop your [F r i g h t]!→®ÅíεL← Out of the corner of his eye Raiel saw another dragon and a grumble formed in his throat. A jet of flame shot out towards them, not as an attack but more of a warning. He was in no mood to fight over territory or food. the flame fell short and Raiel pressed on, not really flying anywhere in particular.
he stayed in the air all day. Exhaustion beginning to overcome him as all of his muscles ached. Now that he actually paid attention he realized he never went too far from the cabin that he and raith called home. He roared loudly out of pain and frustration still refusing to land. He'd fly until he fell from the sky it seemed to be the only thing that brought him any kind of peace.

Raith heard the roar. It was so familiar to her ears that she didn't even have to look out to see who it was. It was Raiel and he was going to exhaust himself by flying till he couldn't fly anymore. She hated it when he did that but if it gave him relief, she ignored her hatred for such action and just let him do as he wished. She had no control over him. He was his own being and she wouldn't put him on a leash. That would only drive him insane.
After finishing her meal, she sat back and leaned against her new wall, the feeling of the wood good against her back after being sanded down for a hour each board. She bowed her head forward and slowly closed her eyes, her arms around her stomach with her legs bent just a bit. Only enough to keep them far enough from the fire so they didn't burn, but enough so that they weren't hurting from all her work.
Raith was tired from her day...reuniting with Raiel..pissing off Raiel...fixing their home...catching dinner... she was absolutely exhausted. Slowly and surely, her eyes closed and eased her into a gentle sleep.

Scared little Rabbit...
→→→ Please drop your [F r i g h t]!→®ÅíεL← It only took a few more short hours before Raiel's body was overcame by trembling and the aches and pains.With his last bit of strength he headed towards their home, but as he got close he lost feeling in his wings, roaring and growling when he realized he was going down. His massive black wings refused to push him any further and he went down. Falling quickly back to the earth. knowing there was nothing he could do to ease the impact he merely closed his eyes as he hit the ground.
He hit the ground with a loud boom, causing the earth to shake beneath him. sliding a few yards, a tree had been knocked over and a vast trail had been created where the massive dragon slid. Every inch of Raiel hurt, but he was alive. his wings were in an awkward position, but not broken. As far as he could tell only a few ribs had broken in the fall and the rest of him was in excruciating pain. Refusing to move Raiel lay there in the hole created by the impact and closed his eyes. the pain dulling his mind and all the thoughts of his failure.

The shake of the earth woke Raith in a startle. She scrambled to her feet and left their home quickly only to see a black dragon not too far off. He had merely given up due to pain and fell...great. Worry overtook his mate as she ran full sprint over to him. Going straight to his side, she saw his eyes closed but his midsection still rose and fell with every breath he took. At least he was alive... Raith kissed the ridge above his eye as she softly stroked his snout, not even going to try and reposition him at all. Raith knew that a dragon should only move on their own accord after a fall of any kind. Only they know when their body is ready, 'Raiel...?' she asked softly, hoping the bond was open for her call to him could go through.. Raith was worried...she was worried sick and only wanted to help. If he wanted her to go away, she would. Anything to help him.

→→→ Please drop your [F r i g h t]!→®ÅíεL← Raiel didn't speak, but merely gave a small grunt to acknowledge Raith and to let her know he was alive and conscious. He tried to move but every inch of his body screamed in protest so he gave up and continued to lay there. Finally reopening his mind to Raith he spoke. I'm sorry.. was all he said. His mind wasn't opened completely, not letting Raith feel the pain he felt now, both emotional and physical, but if she pushed he wouldn't deny her access to his thoughts and feelings.

Raith shook her head, a few tears slipping down her face, 'Please..please don't be...Raiel, you've done nothing...nothing wrong...please don't be...' she rested her forehead against his snout, her hands still stroking his hard scales with tender touches. The girl felt horrible. She had thoughts that all this was her fault. The capture, Raiel feeling the way he does, the pain he is in right now. She felt as though all of it was her own fault, 'I'm so sorry...' she whispered through their bond.
Raith could feel the limitations on where she could go in his mind and knew that if they were there then it was not her place to go passed them. She wouldn't intrude. It would be wrong and cruel.

→→→ Please drop your [F r i g h t]!→®ÅíεL← Don't be.. Raiel said tiredly. He could feel consciousness slipping away from him. using his last bit of strength he moved his head, nuzzling Raith weakly before he passed out, falling into a deep coma-like sleep.

Raith felt a small smile tug at her lips with he nudged her and when he fell into his coma-like sleep, she stayed by his side...well, more like at his neck. Going over to the base of his neck and chest, she sat down and pulled her legs close to her chest, listening to the deep breathing in his chest as he slept and healed through the night.
The sun rose early the next morning, stretching its beams across the valley and touching every thing it could. Raith felt warmth on her skin and slowly opened her eyes to see the great dragon there, still asleep. She wondered how long he would be in his state... but as long as he was safe and okay, Raith was fine to leave him there to rest.
Slowly getting to her feet, careful not to wake him, she left her sleeping mate, kept her mind open for him and shifted into her dragon form to go find him a meal for when he woke.
