Can you help me?...Narutski squeaked when they were confronted, expecting a hunter, but was surprised when it was a druid. He carefully, faced him, also partly shielding Somaharu and slipping into the language the forest folk used when talking to spirits who guard over a different land, region-wise or a completely different place even farther away. "Peace, friend. We mean no harm to this forest. We are simply returning to the surface after hiding from hunters. This man is not mortal, but dragon, and I am a sprite of the southern region of this forest." He said, smiling a little. "That is our reason."I'm all alone...

Zylver had made a fire to light and warm him during the night. Living with the elves he had learnt that if he ever should have to travel, he better kept his energies more than 50% up because if they were too low, his shapeshifting could be resented and 'reek' of dragon.
Now, the sun was filtering through the leaves high on the tree tops, and the chirping of birds had gently woke him. From the fire he had made, only warm coal and ashes remaines there in the hole he had dug on the ground.
His journey was being productive in every way except for the one that originally moved him to travel.... he had encountered no dragons at all.
He got up andthrew earth over the ashes, stomping on them hard to extinguix any resilient hot remains. He packed his things again and got ready to continue his journey

While Somaharu was listening to the two forest creatures talk he sensed another dragon. It was close, incredibly close. He turned from the Elf toward the where the dragon was. He took three steps towards the enterance to the cave before he stopped again. He could smell a Hunter and he could smell a ......dragon. Both scents were close together. He relaxed and stood there not believing another dragon was so close by after such a long time. He also noticed the scent of another creature in the cave with them. He turned his head toward the creature and saw a boy who had come in through another entrance to the cave they were in. He looked away from the sleeping boy and looked back toward the main entrance to the cave.

Legede's blue gaze narrowed ever so slightly, "I sense no malice from you, though perhaps there is a hint of frustration and restraint coming from you..." he focused his eyes on Somaharu for a long time, watching the man's movements carefully. "There is a Hunter outside of this cavern... if you wish to remain undetected, I suggest you follow me to another exit. There is... a place you can rest deep within the forest. Hidden from mortal eyes." Well, most mortal eyes. Legede was the exception to that rule. Slinging his bow over one shoulder, the white haired Elf beckoned for both Dragon and Sprite to follow him. "If the Hunter should catch sight of any of us, it would be trouble. I have no Human form, therefore I would rather not have to explain myself at knife-point. Follow me if you seek safety."

Can you help me?...Narutski froze at the mention of a hunter, taking Somaharu's arm. "Come on, you don't want to be seen by him." Hesaidsoftly, not wanting any hunter to hear him. He nodded to Legede. "Thank you, kind spirit." He said, following him and making sure Somaharu was following behind him. Hunters were very bad for all immortal creatures, though their main focus was dragons.I'm all alone...

"Wait. There's another dragon out there,"he said softly his full of wonder and disbelief. He hadn't looked at Legede while he was talking. He was too focused on the dragon outside. His eyes had lightened to a light blue color. He took another step ignoring the warning about the Hunter. He would rather face knife point than pass up the oppurtunity to see one of his own kind again. "I already know of other exits Elf I live in these caves," he said as he took another step.

Stopping, the Druid turned back, his gaze focused on the dragon. "If you go out there... you risk death." Legede spoke softly before sighing. "If you worry that badly over the other, let me find and warn him and if you know these caves so well, then you know of the crystal cavern not far from here. If you wish it, I will lead this other dragon to that cavern... and then you may both benefit from the Goddess' sanctuary." In other words, the Elf was willing to go out there and locate the dragon, keeping him from harm. If the Hunter were to spot them leaving the cavern, he would indeed investigate. Moving forward, the Elf put himself between the waterfall that shielded them from sight, and the Dragon.

Can you help me?...Narutski stopped. "Another dragon?" he looked at Legede apologetically before walking back over to Somaharu. "I-if you want to meet them..." He bit his lip and got his dagger ready. It wouldn't be of much use against a hunter, but it made him feel a little safer.I'm all alone...

The Dragon looked at the Elf. "I don't know of any crystal cavern and I do not care about risking my life for another Dragon,"he said. He looked into the Elf's eyes. "I will not allow you to risk your life for mine," he said. Then he looked at the Sprite. "Nor you Narutski," he said a bit more gently. He sighed and tore his eyes away from where the other Dragon was. "I will...go with you. Let me grab my weapons," he said as he looked down.

Bowing, Legede waited for the Dragon to gather his things. "Then I shall show you this cavern, for we will need to pass through, as it is the shortest way to the sanctuary from here." Well, from the caves themselves... the quickest would have been through the woods, but that option wasn't really an option right now. "Forgive me... It is my duty to protect the Dragon-kin... I am not an immortal nor do I possess the powers of your kind. To me, it is only fitting that I give my life, if necessary." The Elf focused on the sprite for a moment. "If you do not mind me asking... how did one such as yourself come to be in the company of a great Dragon?"

Somaharu nodded and went down the tunnel he had just come through with Narutski. When he arrived in his cavern he jumped the stream and looked around sadly. He was going to miss his home. He went to his nest and pulled his katana and daggers out from among some moss. Once he had the daggers secured to his waist and the katana on his back he headed back for the surface. He came out of the tunnel back into the cave. "I am ready,"he said quietly.

After a while, Ryuu awoke. He was confused ad blinked a few times before remembering that he had fainted in a cave. He looked around and, once his senses had woken up as well, he realized that there were two dragons close by. He felt others, but decided to ignore them. He quietly got up, back facing the cave enterence and trying to figure out how close they were.
"Maybe I can finally figure out the mystery behind my village's massacre," he whispered.

Somaharu looked over at the boy who was sleeping on the cave floor. His ears picked up the boy's whisper, but he didn't let on that he had heard. "You are awake," he said simply looking at the boy.

Startled at being caught, Ryuu's face became as red as his hair. Then, remembering that he was asked a question he answered, "Yes, I just woke up."
Taking a better look at the man who had addressed him, Ryuu sensed that he was a dragon. He felt happy, but didn't let on. Feeling the need to be polite, he said, "My name is Ryuu, sorry for sneaking in like I did." 'This will be my chance! I hope nothing goes wrong,' he thought.

Somaharu smiled at the boy. Upon closer inspection he sensed the boy was an Elf like Legede. "Nice to meet you Ryuu and it is alright, everyone needs to rest," he said.
