As she had for most of her life Estelwen was alone, especially since the death of her long-gone guardian and friend, Seremela. And thus she went into even deeper into the lush forest of Du Weldenvarden outside of Ellesmera. There, she met her dragon by following pictures through Vanilor's eyes. She came to sit on the ground just beside him. He let out a huff and a small curl of smoke wisped from his nose.

You're becoming lonely, he commented shortly. Estelwen remained silent in her thoughts. Yes, he was right. But of course, who could know her better than he? Perhaps you should attempt making friends.

Perhaps not, she replied shortly. But even as she said it, she knew it were not true. But she had taught Vanilor not only the Ancient Language, but the common tongue of Alagaesia as well, which was as she spoke in. She switched back to have a real conversation. You are correct of course. But I will only do as situations present themselves to me. Things like this do not happen easily. And I know many. Yet too well to like. She leaned back against him again.

Vanilor began to hum contently as they both sat there and relaxed together before their later practices would begin.

Fang flew over the emreald sea of broughts, his rider clung to the broad back, of his red dragon. Ioksok looked down trying to find a clearing in the impenitable canvis of the Du Weldenvarden. Ioksok spiraled down finding a clearing large enough for the huge red dragon to land. Ioksok landed Fang and slide down the dragon's flank, as soon as he hit the ground his sword was out. "All ways be careful in the forest." he told his dragon, as he moved his from side to side.

Someone draws near, Vanilor commented. Estelwen stood and nodded, but still said nothing. She did knew that evil wouldn't come into the forest of Du Weldenvarden, for it was not welcomed there and had many wards about it. She did not know the presence, however, and waited for them to show themselves, for there was a man with a dragon as well.

Ioksok looked around then sheathed his sword, "im hungry." he complained to his dragon, as he reached for his crossbow and pack, Me to came the thundering reply in his head, as Fang moved about the clearing then took flight telling Ioksok that he would return with food soon enough.

Ioksok alone in the forest looked around for any dead wood he could use to make a fire. Walking carelessly he steaped on a stick and it snaped he winced and raised his crossbow ready if any thing would come out of the trees.

She'd been following Luciel all day.
"Are you certain there is help in the forest" She asked.
i am certain
"I don't like this place, it reminds me of my childhood, and that cursed circe"
There is not much further to go
"but just as far a distance on the return"

Just as Ioksok thought that he saw a man in a dark green cloak holding a long bow standing before him.
"Who are you?," asked Ioksok



"My name is not important right now," he replied, "but you should know atleast 35 urgals are heading your direction. So i Suggest you and your dragon leave immediatly"

"How long have you been watching me", asked Ioksok but as soon as he said that the man dissapeard into the woods.

occ: I love aya you can not control other peoples characters
Cobalt snorted, as he sensed many dragons. Reb was careful. She didn't like dragons. She loved horses.

OOC: please don't control my guy, and star gazer could you make your post a little longer.

Ioksok shook his head and returned to the clearing with all the wood he could carry and still be able to shot his crossbow, so he made three more trips. ''I guess thats good." He said to himself looking at the small store of dry wood. He made a pile and knelt by it wispering words a small blaze started in the middle of the stack of wood.

Fang came flying back one deer hanging from his jaws another hanging in his claws. The landing was acward but still gracefull. I have food He shouted in Ioksok's head.

OOC: Well, since this has had enough walk-ins, why not me too?

IC: Simoro almost fell from the stump upon which he had sat. He had been meditating, trying to remember the old days, before he had even found his dragon. The days when he had known peace; peace not with the world, but with himself. But he had heard in his head the voice of his dragon! So long he had waited to hear it again. But it had seemed troubled, like talking could hurt them both. It had said two things: First, that there was no hope in regaining what was lost, but there was hope in what had been born anew. And second, that somewhere in the forest resided one even more lonely than himself. And he had percieved of his own will that with this person he could find something he had so long saught to regain: a friend. Hope in his mind, he set off through the deep wood, searching for someone. He thought of the sheer impossibilty of finding them. The forest was huge! But the trees would guide him, for time is nothing to them. They still remembered the days when they had been his only friend. He followed its guidance to the person - a woman, it told him - and took heed of its warning of urgals.

OOC: Um... this could be interesting... some of the people haven't been on since September.

Ioksok sighed as he moved the spit around agian This is boaring, you could just eat it. Fang complained. Then his head shot up, his eyes were alert.
"What do you see?" Ioksok asked he had his crossbow ready. Fang's reply was Not what i see, What I smell. Urgals. Fang took wing, as Ioksok climed into a tree, sitting with his back to the trunk.

Cassiopeia sighed "why is it that everywhere I go is flooded with power? I've been to a coliseum, an island and now a forest and everywhere i go, there are overwhelming powers!!! It's giving me a head-ache!"
You came to find a powerful figure why are you so surprised that others seek her?
"But I am normal! I walk out of the forest into this power struggle in my dreams it was a lot calmer!"
Life is not the same as dreams
"Is anybody there?" she said hoping that some of these mysterious figures would emerge.

"Who are you?'' Ioksok called from the safty of his tree as he saw a figure move out from the brush. Ioksok moved his crossbow into a ready position waiting for the stranger to answer. The stranger moved closer and closer to his tree "Stop right there or ill shoot." he warned and put a bolt between her feet. She stoped.


OOC: sorry if i was controling your chary a bit Ladyofthelost

Ghansor walked up behind Ioksok, about to swing up when a bird messed up his field of vision and Ghansor fell from the treetop about to hit the ground when a big creature swooped him up and Ghansor came up and told the thing he was riding to bring back around for another swing at iosok.

OOC: What? that was very confusing and you didn't spell my name right.

OOC: I'll just tell you what I'm doing now. I'm about to swing around and go for you again with my sword.

OOC: ok thats better but we should wait for the others

OOC: Who all else is there?

OOC: ladyofthelost is standing in the clearing under the tree.

Cassiopeia emerged and saw the approaching figure "Look out!" she cried and drew her sword.
She whistled meaning for Luciel to hide.
Inside she was excited though, her first proper fight!!
She stood ready for attack listening for any of the others in this forest.
