Welcome to Gaia! ::

The fallen king of Indelca awoke with a loud gasp. He clutched his chest, hardly able to hold his fear in from the dream. Dante wasn't one to be afraid, but this dream had scared him beyond his senses. It was hard for even him to keep a cool head after just having a dream about having his kingdom mercilessly slaughtered, and then his wonderful city burnt to the ground, followed by watching himself die a slow and excruciatingly painful death in the third person view. The man shrugged it off and went to his closet. There, he pulled out a light leather shirt, and fit himself inside it, making sure his wings fit through the special slits. Then he walked out of his room and began descending the stairs of the tower, wondering what he would do.

Dante appeared troubled by the news, his brow furrowed in thought for a second. The troubled look was gone after just a moment though. He now had a choice: Lie to the girl in front of him, or tell her the truth and frighten the whole population of his kingdom. After a moment, the fallen warrior decided to try and avoid the question for a few moments, and see if the girl would drop the subbject. "You can get off of your knees. And call me Dante, not my lord. I like to keep this whole 'king' thing more friendly. My kingdom and it's people don't gotta be afraid of anything. As long as i'm alive, nobodies even going to come close to harming a hair on that pretty little head of yours, or anybody else in my country." He said, and this wasn't a lie. Dante was confident that he was a competent warrior. Competent enough to stop attacks from almost anything in Rykros.

Dante thought for a moment, the fallen king's bright green eyes changing from their usual bright green to a stormy green as he thought. After a moment, the warrior shrugged, his wings moving with him as he did so. "The kingdom always needs work. We need new buildings, stronger fighters, and stuff like that. We're not exactly known for our fighters here, even though the fighter's guild resides here." He then thought for a moment and chuckled. "Well, if we didn't have that barrier, somebody would have shot us down by now no doubt. But we have a barrier around the city that'll stop any sort of attack from taking us down. So we're basically the most defended city." He said confidently.
(Do I have to attain my summon, or do I automatically get it? Not sure if this works like it did in Axiom.)

Dante looked to be in thought once more. After a moment, he replied to Sasha. "Looking for fighters would be great, but I think training the ones we already have, or even better, becoming friends with countries. That way, we got an extra army on hold if our army bites off more than we can chew. Speaking of making allies and training my warriors, I should probably try that sometime soon." He said, giving a rye smile and scratching the back of his head. Once again, his wing moved as his shoulderblade did, but only the left one, not the right one.

Dante nodded a second or two after the girl asked her question. "Sure, I can take you. While we're on the go, I may as well teach you too. That way, I'll have a healer with me. I mean, if somebody actually manages to damage me, of course. I think we'll leave soon... to where, I haven't got a clue yet. We'll leave as soon as you're ready, so grab what you need if you need anything." Dante said. He would whistle for his dragon soon enough, who no doubt was flying around Indelca, enjoying the skies at the moment.

Dante nodded slightly. After he did that, he put two fingers in his mouth and whistled as loud as he could. There was a dark shadow over a side of the city, getting bigger by the second. All of a sudden, it was upon them. It made a swift dive, landing on the floor with a shattering thud, shaking at least half the city. He looked at Dante and made a little half smile. "Flying here was a great task. Now what do you have to ask?" The dragon inquired Dante. Dante smiled at the dragon, walked up to it and patted it's nose. To most people, it was a beast of destruction. Dante saw the dragon as a thing of beauty. "Where have you been my friend? I haven't seen you all day! Well anyways, me and Sasha need a ride. To where, i'm not sure yet. You think you can take us?" The dragon laughed, causing the earth to shake iin it's gigantic form. After a moment however, it kneeled down and slowly shrunk, until it was no larger than the size of a large grizzly bear. This was an invitation for them to jump on. Dante jumped and flapped his wings once, landing on top of fireweaver. He then extended a hand downwards to Sasha, as an invitation for help up.

As soon as Dante helped Sasha up, he reached onto the dragon's side, and pulled up a chestplate. he slipped into it, once again fitting his wings through slits in the back. He then grabbed a long chain with a crimson knife on the end, and wrapped that around his chest. He left his other weapons alone, as he didn't want to look like he was getting prepared for war, but he still wanted to be protected. He looked back at Sasha and nodded. "Hey, I heard that too! But I figured the widdin' would've been over by now. Oh well, no harm in going to check now is there?" He asked with a smile. He then patted the fireweaver's massive neck and bent closer and said in a low voice, "Take us to Ernya." The dragon nodded, sneezing accidentally. A poof of smoke came from his nostrils as he did so, but nothing more. The dragon then ran forward a few feet, before taking off into the air. As he reached the edge of Indelca, he performed a steep dive, enjoying showing off his aerodynamics. There were of course, small things like saddle buckles and such for Sasha to hold onto. Dante however didn't use anything, holding on only by his powerful leg muscles. Hell, if Sasha couldn't find anything to grab, she could grab Dante and it wouldn't phase him in the slightest.The dragon's flight was an amazing thing to anybody watching, powerful yet fast at the same time.
