OOC: That can be a Nidwhal lol I'll just have Railyn kinda observe for a little bit *whispers* whats a Nidwhal? lol. XD

IC:

Railyn had just finished her business on the mainland, seeing the part of the Spine she had heard so much about from her mother. She had managed to see many strange creatures all recorded in her journal. Rai felt very proud of herself, she was almost as good as Elcyon as it was she who taught Rai how to draw and write in the first place. It had been hard for her at first simply because Rai held little patience towards anything for very long with a short attention span to match. Neither a good thing to combine. She examined her journal her mother made her, hugging close to her chest and feeling closer to her mother in this way. It was the one thing she and Elcyon shared and that made Rai feel better whenever she was away from home.

Speaking of which, Rai knew it was time for her to fly along back to the island so that she could return to her family. Equinox was sure to give her a strict talking to, with Elcyon being more light-hearted towards her youngest daughter and coaxing Equinox out of his grump. It always (well, most of the time) worked. Rai strapped her journal to her pouch that she and her sister Incindea made together and opened her wings to take off. It had been so long since Incindea and Railyn hung out, but Cin was the oldest, and she had other responsibilities she had to attend to. Perhaps Rai would talk her ears off and then Cin would have to stay and talk like old times even if it was for five minutes.

Rai took off into the sky within minutes, her silvery-blue scales shimmering against the sun. It felt good to get out from underneath the cooler undergrowth of the Spine and into the warm air. Not far was the coast, and Rai was eager to get a head-start before the sun went down below the horizon.

From a distance, Rai could hear a commotion. She cocked her head as she flew faster towards the noise. There was a ship floating in the water, with something erupting from the surface towards them. She couldn't make out what it was at first but decided to go and help them if she could.

OOC: Sorry I haven't posted yet. I have been at soccer conditioning for the last few hours. X___X I don't have any character that'd be cruising underwater, so I'll leave it to the Nidwhal. Since Darian is doing spy-work for the Varden, I'll assume this is before Inheritance?

Elisa glided along the waves, her flapping wings sending ripples in the green-blue water. Hawke sat in the saddle placed on her back, leaning forward with his hands around a neck-spike. They were going at an intense speed now, one that they had rarely reached before. Hawke had to squint so that a) his eyelashes would catch the water droplets speeding towards his face; and b) the wind wouldn't make his eyes bleed so much.

It was then that Hawke noticed a ship not too far away. Hawke cursed, immediately contacting Elisa. Elisa, ship: two o'clock! he shouted. However, her mind was currently focused on something else.

Elisa thought she had seen something moving in the water beneath them, but she wasn't too sure. She hadn't taken the caution that she should have, since she hadn't heard of anything dwelling in the sea that could prove harm to a dragon. Just then, something erupted out of the water directly in front of Elisa. She heavily collided into it, twisting through the air from the sheer impact. She lost control and her side plowed harshly into the water. The impact had knocked Hawke clear off the saddle, sending him nearly fifty feet away from Elisa. He too crashed in the water.

He reacted quickly however, manipulating the wind currents to pull him out of the water. It was in a haphazard movement--but out of the water nonetheless. He then hovered about thirty feet in the air, staring warily at the water. "Elisa, get out of the water!" he shouted. Whatever they had crashed into wasn't small, and she might be in trouble if she didn't get out soon.

OOC: Sorry I've totally forgotten you posted SR >.< I'll try to go now

IC:

Railyn couldn't make out what was in the water, but before she could figure that out she heard a voice above her. She looked up and let out a delighted squee of excitement. It was Rai's sister.

Heya Cin! she exclaimed, unable to hide her excitement. It's kinda been a while! What are you doing way out here, I thought you, Mom, and Dad were doing something? Rai looked from her sister towards the commotion at sea, back at her sister, and replied, I'm not really sure I just got here myself. I was going to go see if they needed help. A hideous roar erupted in the air surrounding them, making her look back at the ship. Some ugly gray creature with fins and no limbs was attacking a ship. Another dragon had crashed into it, though someone had announced they ate dragons.

Rai felt uneasy, the creature was almost as large as the ship, possibly larger it was hard to tell from this distance, but Rai felt her courage fill her with intensity as she knew that these people were in need of help.

C'mon, sis, we have to help! There are two-legs on that ship, and they obviously tried to warn that dragon about the creature they must be good! Rai flew even faster towards the scene, feeling her shadow breath fill her mouth as she erupted her flame towards the creature. She wondered how much it would affect a water creature. Her shadow breath was different after all, it wasn't entirely fire. That much Rai knew. Her mother told her.
