"Corruption." Cerisedel spoke the word with a slight grimace. She looked at Lukas and knew that when he looked at her, all he could see was the raw power and potential that she had portrayed to him. It was her fault—but the thought of being seen as anything less with her heritage and ancestry placed on her shoulders was unacceptable. "Yes. We need to go down and eliminate the threat." Lukas said as he jerked a thumb out the cave. "The faster, the better." "Let's not be hasty." Cerisedel said and…-

"To help you, silly." Cerisdel pointed out with an offended frown. "You have asked for my help and it seems to me that you are quite in need of an individual to help comfort you." "I don't have any need for that—!" Lukas bristled. "So you say, but the way you spoke was not only out of my sake but for the sake of your own self. I saw the relief in your eyes at being understood, at finally having someone to listen to your words and be known. I… I have known others who are just like you." Lukas had a…

The truth and the entirety of it. It was something that Lukas hadn't even told Drusilla yet or anyone else for that matter. Maybe Rhea knew a bit of the truth depending on how much she had submerged and feasted on his dreams before, but at the moment, in the presence of the majestic creature kin to the wyverns—Lukas spoke. "I tried to get myself out, but it was to no avail—although, the life I've left behind is really of no importance or value to me now." Lukas admitted. And in the darkness of the…

Lukas blinked. He didn't expect to hear such words come out from Cerisedel. He had heard Drusilla call him a Vampire-man, and for Rhea to announce that she knew that he was human based on his dreams—but for another being to declare that she could see through him was a bit too much. Was it a terrible feeling? Not entirely, but Lukas coughed and tried to locate her based on proximity of her voice and then looked in that direction. "I appreciate the observation, but I do wish that you'd also reveal…

It was an egg. That was wrong. It once was an egg. This was the correct statement. Or maybe that was actually wrong too. Suffice to say, Cerisedel, or Cerise as she had preferred to have herself identified was formerly someone who lived in an egg for an unknown period of time and then hatched out of it. She was born surrounded not by her people, but close enough to her in their own way. They had stolen from merchants, travelers and the like because they knew that she was special, unique and…

Lukas' body crashed against the rocks of the mountain, the impact making him drop the dagger in his hand. He winced hard as his body thudded into the ground, but he pulled himself up and searched for the dagger in hand. 'Was it all my imagination? Maybe? Probably—there." Lukas swiped up the dagger and then went into a defensive position. The wyvern shook its head from side to side, the impact of crashing into the ground also leaving it dizzy. Lukas' recovery speed was better, and yet he there was an…

"Is that enough to gain your trust?" Lukas asked. There was a confident swagger in his motion as he looked at Philip. Philip's lips pressed down together into a thin line, but as he looked at Matthew again, his shoulders sagged and he nodded. "Yes, it's not enough to earn my complete trust because it's clear that you're hiding how you know all of those things… but I trust you enough to know that your intentions aren't bad. Not that's actually enough…" "It's more than enough for me." Anthony…

Lukas glanced at the sleeping Matthew and knew for certain that the young man was going to wake up. The only matter was the amount of time that it would take. "It's not instant, but—" Matthew let out a groan and sat up from the grass. He stretched out his arms and looked around at the others with a confused look on his face. "Where are we? What happened back there?" "Oh, you're finally awake!" Anthony dropped his crossbow and lunged for the young man, hugging him tight. "We nearly thought you died or…

Luckily for Philip and everyone else in the team, once the Sky Changing Wyvern plucked the rabbit—it flew back up and didn't chase down after them. For a split second though, Lukas thought it made eye contact with him… or maybe that was just his imagination. Lukas didn't actually remember Iolathane mentioning anything about a wyvern that changed its scale colors, but it seemed like the others didn't as well. What was up with that? "We… we survived." Philip gasped. "No thanks to you." Anthony…

"Wait for rescue?" Philip paused and then glanced towards Matthew still in Anthony's arms. "You'll be the one carrying this guy if he doesn't wake up yet." Anthony said. "Fine, fine, let's just stay here and rest for now, but nothing crazy." Philip agreed. "I think it'll make sense for us to stay put. We have this bead necklace so the others will know where to get us." "Precisely." Anthony nodded, then looked around at their surroundings. "But maybe we should actually move a little." "How…
