Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pushing through a couple branches into what Rio had considered a well hidden clearing, the young hybrid sighed. Lanzecki had remained behind sleeping. He was still very small and sleep encompassed most of his life so far. His head rested gently on a small sack, small soft snores let Erionda know he was still deep in sleep, he hadn't had time to wake up and notice she was missing. Dusting some of the remaining debris from her fight off her green shirt with one hand, carefully balancing her first orb in her other. The orb's were much bigger than she had first assumed they would be. Thrown off by the tiny replica of an Askala orb on her belt.

Nearing the sleeping Keinling, Erionda lowered herself to her knees. Carefully scooping up the grey head into her hands and slowly shifting the sack out from under Lanzecki's head. Wiggling closer the hybrid replaced the sack with her leg and lowered the small head back down. Pale violet eyes glanced up as Uassae entered into the clearing through a small opening.

The large Drakein sniffed around the border taking note something seemed out of place. There was an unfamiliar scent nearby. Brushing the unfamiliarity off as part of their unknown world Uassae sneezed his muzzle shaking as the rest of his body rippled in a wave. His wings relaxed as she moved towards Rio. Sniffing the orb casually, opening a wing to create a small canopy over his tiny charge. Moving around behind her to give her something to lean against. His body and tail creating a small nest like bed for her and Lanzecki to safely relax under. "You have done well. Aquon should be proud you succeeded."

"He wont be happy unless I find another one though Uassae." Erionda muttered pressing the orb into the sack. Tilting her head to the side in thought. Uassae didn't often speak out loud, most of their conversation was though a silent bond they shared. "How long do you think before we can set out to find another?"

"Relax first." The large Drakein cooed.

"I trust you Uassae, but I'm scared of Aquon and Ytauya." Shifting so she could pet the large Drakeins head. Her body aching from her movements. Each shift of muscle sent a ribbon of pain towards her spine. Lanzecki bubbled in her lap shifting his head about before returning to his sleeping state. The sound of her companions heart beats mixed with her own and the sounds of the wind in the leaves. It was like a lulling sensation, as if the world around her insisted on rocking her to sleep.

Erionda's hand began to relax when the sound of a twig snapping sent a fresh wave of adrenaline through her body. Snapping to attention the same time Lanzecki's soft snoring stopped and Uassae's head turned. Erionda swallowed hard against the fear rising in her chest. Had one of the beastly dragons followed her here? Tracked her and Uassae to their small hiding place? Lanzecki creeled pitifully as he struggled hungrily to his feet. Stumbling forward away from Erionda in search of her bag.

Pushing herself to her feet cautiously watching her Keinling Erionda continued to listen to the world around her. Mentally taking note of Uassae as he moved silently away from where the three had been curled up ready to relax. Stealing glances in the direction of the sound Erionda shifted upright as Uassae's words filtered into her mind.

Just a girl. But... Darker. She's not like you

Erionda squared her shoulders in the direction tilting her head in a friendly manner. Ignoring Lanzecki's insistence at the palm of her hand. "We wont hurt you unless you plan to attack. If you would like company feel free to join us." Erionda bit her tongue against mentioning Uassae's position behind the girl incase it sent them into a real threat.

Erionda blinked as Tilawen emerged from the tree's. This wasn't one of the Orderites who lived near by. Nor was this possibly a Dovaa. Hybrid maybe? Like her? Pale violet eyes searched the girls face, taking in as much information as she could. Her eyes were strange, like floating lights in the blackness. Her skin betrayed Oblivionite lines. Opposite of herself, this girl seemed to scream Hybrid. Erionda felt sad, she had at least been able to slip by as Dovaa most of the time not the Hybrid she was.

Eyes followed and marked each movement Tilawen made, finding her eyes pulling up once again to lock with Tilawens. Was she scared? Challenging her? Demanding something? Maybe she felt the same about her as Erionda did towards the new girl? Rolling one shoulder to test the girls reactions, while keeping her eyes locked with Tilawen.

Fingers flexed uncomfortably as time passed, to slowly for Erionda's comfort. Finding relief as the girl made a movement, one that wasn't hostile. There, proof she hadn't come to kill her, or hunt her. "Are you alright?" Erionda asked. Extending one of her hands outward palm up to show she meant no harm. Mentally telling Uassae to relax and step back.

“Feral?” Erionda repeated. Her eyes shifting in thought before she settled on who the other had been referring to. Feeling silly for her outstretched hand Erionda pulled her hand back. Attaching it to her hip. “Oh! You mean Lanzecki, and Uassae? The Drakein?” Erionda paused to giggle. “Goddess no, they are both my bonded companions.” Shifting deeping into the clearing to allow Uassae entrance past Tilawen and herself.

“Feel free to join in the seclusion. Dragons and Orderites won't find us easily here.”

Scratching the back of her head, Erionda turned to the side. Puzzled how the girl had managed to find her in the first place. Yawning to the thought’s in her head, Erionda felt a shiver at the question of her race. Reaching up to twirl a pink chunk of her bangs around her fingers nervously. She felt it hard to answer such a question each time it was brought up. Many had considered her a pure Dovaa who just happened to be facinated with Dying her hair ‘unnatural’ colors. The more observant could pick out she wasn’t a pure blood. Based on her hair and the location she lived.

“No, I have a small portion of Orderite in me.” Erionda replied solemnly. Letting her fingers drop from her hair. “How much of you is Oblivionite?” Rio continued keeping her eyes diverted from the dark girl. Unsure of how to approach the difference of what Erionda assumed as a cultural difference.

"Half isn't so bad." Erionda slowly moved to sit. Her eyes watching the strange orbs floating in Til's eye sockets. "I am only a quarter Orderite."

Lanzecki shifted onto his feet to get a better look at the strange Hybrid before them. His nostrils flared with each inhaling sniff. Cautiously he moved forward. One step then another. Pausing to look back at Erionda for reassurance before making another partial step forward. His eyes focused on Tilawen as he moved. Keeping his head lowered below his shoulder blades. Tail draggon on the ground behind him, wings vibrated with adrenaline. Erionda watched on in silence, unsure of just what what going to happen.

Light blue eyes of Uassae flicked about. Paying close attention to the Hybrid Oblivionite while appearing relaxed. "His name is Lanzecki." Uassae offered, blinking and shifting to cross one paw over the other. Erionda looked quizzically up at the large Drakein but said nothing. Lanzecki was free to learn and explore however he wanted. Just because they were bonded didn't mean she controlled the Drakein in her life, They were free to do whatever they pleased. They were just very strong within a bonded group. Both emotionally and mentally. She had grown to rely on them like family. The only beings who seemed to really care about her.

Erionda blushed nervously. "W-well. I wouldn't be envious of me. There are other hybrids out there who look far more Dovaa than I do. With much less of the blood in them, than I have." Tugging at the strands in her hair watching Tilawen cautiously.

The hybrids question caught her off guard. Didn't everyone know what Drakein posture was like at this point? It took a while to remember that Drakein were still very new to Magescian's and though Erionda had grown up around them. Others may not have even seen them before. Giving a soft chuckle, Erionda offered Tilawen a soft smile. "He's trying to see if you're a friend. Probably just wants you to pet him. He's funny that way, just give him a light scratch on the head like this." Erionda reached up to give Tilawen proper instructions visually.

Uassae hummed with pleasure. "Most bonded Drakein I know really like it."

Lanzecki took the eye contact as a good sign lifting his head slightly, and taking a few more steps forward till he was barely a foot or two from Tilawen. Giving a soft croon he shifted his body to the side. Keeping his head turned towards her.
