It had been a little while, now, since Axia had departed from her home in search of... something. She had no idea what she was looking for specifically, just that it was supposed to be something of worth. Searching for something so incredibly vague had been a source of much frustration, but it had never been enough to make her give up completely. Not like she could go back, anyways; according to tradition, she wouldn't be allowed to return to her home until she'd finished her task. Kind of a dumb rule, in her opinion, but it was a rule nonetheless.
Just because she hadn't given up on the task, though, didn't mean that refused to take a break every now and then. In fact, she probably spent more time exploring the world and doing things that she actually enjoyed then doing what she was supposed to be doing. It was a bad habit of hers, and not one that she was particularly inclined to break. Today was one of those days where she found herself spending time on her own terms, taking to practicing her flying. The mountain ranges made a good training ground; people in more populated areas didn't tend to take kindly to dragons crash landing next to them, even one of Axia's size.
Eventually, the dragon found herself gliding over an area that had some peculiar qualities to it. The peaks and crags had a sense of unity to them, as opposed to the seemingly random rocks that could be seen elsewhere. They were too orderly to be completely natural, yet there was no sign of people having lived there for years. It felt like there used to be something here, and something had caused it to collapse, along with any signs of life.
Intrigued by the strange rock formations, Axia decided to move closer to the ground so she could get a better look. She dove towards a peak and landed rather haphazardly on it a few seconds later, sending rocks and pebbles tumbling down as she brought herself to a halt. It definitely wasn't a graceful landing, but it was still better then what happened most of the time. Shifting around a little to balance herself, she slowly observed the landscape until a figure in the distance caught her eye. It looked human- or at least humanoid- from where she was sitting. It also appeared to be alone, which spurred the dragon's curiosity even further. What would a human be doing all the way out here by themselves?
