Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kadryn decided that she wanted to fight an Aryala dragon. After meeting Aevah Avi, she wanted something new, to go someplace different. So she packed her bag for a long trip and left a note that she was heading the continent of Ary to test her mettle against an Aryala. Heading out into the predawn, Kadryn flew away in the direction she thought Ayr was.
After a long day of flying over blue seas and enjoying the sensation and smell of the ocean winds, Kadryn arrived at a continent. It wasn't what she was expecting; all around were sandy dunes, the only mountain was in the distance... with ..smoke rising from it?! Wait .. wasn't Ayr supposed to be very windy with tall rocky spires? Hmmm... Kadyrn scratched her head. Had she gotten lost again? Shrugging she smiled and decided to make the most of it, it was a new continent after all! As she walked among the dunes, Kadryn made sure to keep the coast in sight, no sense in wandering to inland and getting even more lost. Kadryn had never walked on sand like this before. Her feet kept sinking and it made walking difficult, fun though! As she crested a hill, she looked back and saw the crashing blue waves next to the reddish golden sand of the desert Smiling, she sat down and pulled out her sketch book and pencils. What a view! I have to draw this and show my family! She thought.
So absorbed in drawing, Kadryn didn't notice the young dragon sneaking up... at least until it sneezed a few feet behind her. Startled she jumped into the air, unfurling her wings and spun int the air to see what had sneezed. She saw a different dragon than she was used too, instead of the green and yellow highlights of a Ysali, she saw the beautiful golden scales and deep blue wings of a Kiandri... Also new was the lightning dancing along the scales. Landing again, Kadryn began to beat her wings, stirring up a dust storm to blind her opponent. Furling her wings, Kadryn charged in among the dust cloud. She jumped on the Kiandri's head, a grin stretching her lips as she felt her blood begin to sing with battle lust. Ignoring the shocks of the lightning, Kardryn began to beat and claw at the dragon's face with her fist.. and the sharp pencil still clutched in one hand.
A few minutes later the Kiandri gave a high keen before collapsing. Kadryn stood up and dusted herself off.... she stood looking at the dragon as if faded and left an orb behind. Suddenly, she threw back her head and gave a loud cry of exhilaration, she'd won! Against a dragon she shouldn't have been able to face for a while!
