Mephistel

It was almost night time, the sun was setting in the far away distance. Her eyes looking away as she was laying in the tall grass. She was resting herself, near the small river. Her long mane flowing as the wind was blowing a soft breeze.

Curled on herself, her tail near her head and her claws around her egg, Tamariel looked almost asleep, but she wasn't. her ears twitching to every sounds, she kept watch. Only time could heal the wounds she had suffer, the lost of two child, not even born into this world.

Her slender dragon form medling in the tall grass was almost hypnotic, her pearl like scale skin shimmering softly. She lifted her head, as she heard steps coming toward her. Who was it? A son of man? She grew unsure and lowered herself to the ground, to avoid been seen as she kept watch.

Meliadoul walked apon a meandering road, to where she didn't know. She was merely wanderlust apon her path, Meliadoul pulled out a map, pausing to inspect her location, to get a better idea of where she was she glanced towards local landmarks, and lowered her map quickly when she spotted the pearly white dragon among the moor,  She narrowed her eyes, rolling up her map and sticking it back into her bag, she drew her blade and headed towards the dragon, her curiosity peaked, although a hint of caution as she approached, not wanting to be toast after all. She looked about as she approached, seeing no more threats, she approached, keeping her worn steel blade lowered as she approached the draconic creature.

Mephistel

Tamariel was right, this was a child of man, walking toward her, she had been seen and the woman had drew her blade. The dragon lift her head toward her, to show that she was aware of her presence, she show her fangs, growling.

Her tail was swiping the grass behind her, as a warning, her icy blue eyes fixed onto the girl as she approach.

-Away...daughter of man! You shall not take my child! Away!!-

She cried out, her fangs showing clearly. She was on her guard, but did not attack. She couldn't do much right now, her wounds were still fresh.

ZeroOrgan

She Glanced up, looking towards the pearly white dragon with a melancholic stare, tilting her head to the right for a moment, she had taken the time to observe what was happening, this dragon was obviously troubled by other humans, she took this into understanding, sheathing her blade and taking a knee out of respect of and sympathy for the creature, She spoke softly, and very carefully, although still audible,

"I am sorry for my race's sins Dragon, If It may please you, Id be willing to hunt down those who have harmed you"

She didn't move, speak, or anything until a response was uttered

Mephistel

The dragon wasn't convinced, she looked at the girl for a long time. What was this trick? Tamariel's trust in humans had long been shattered and she was far from trusting anyone else before long. The scars were still fresh. Her growling eventually faded as the girl spoke of killing those who had wronged her.

-That has already been done...-

She said, her voice tough a bit rasp, was soft and hid a very peaceful nature. She sat back, showing her full stature to the human. Despite not been the tallest dragon, her figure was still impressive. Her mane softly wrapped itself around the woman's face, barely touching her.

-Humans are greedy...they took me child...One left only I have...-

She said, her voice shaking with rage and sadness. Her feelers like mane left the girl's face and the dragon took a few steps back. The egg, laying at her feet, between her claws.

ZeroOrgan

Meliadoul pondered this thought, and shook her head, she sat down and began to unpack. Grumbling as she dug waist deep into her bag, pulling out a canteen and taking a very large sip, she shook her head releasing the rasp of a strong drink, clicking her tongue before recapping it and placing it back into her bag. She then unsheathed her blade, beginning to sharpen it. She stopped a moment, abruptly pointing a finger at herself "Meliadoul" She looked at the dragon, pointing a finger at her and tilting her head with a curios glint.

Mephistel

The dragon layed back into the grass, observing the woman, which eventually introduced herself as the one named Meliadoul. Her icy blue eyes looked at her for a moment, before she herself, said her name.

-Me name, in your tongue...is Tamariel...the Flower of Birth...-

She said calmly. Her tails was swiping the grass behind her, but in no offensive manner. A few animals had taken shelter near the dragon, she was warm and didn't mind their presence at all.


ZeroOrgan

Meliadoul nodded, taking a chomp out of her apple as she merely gazed at the dragon, the sun was setting, and she didn't have anywhere to stay. She was in the middle of an open field thousands of miles from a city or even hamlet. She stopped gazing at the sunet to look to the dragon "Tamariel, I need a place to stay. Do you know of a cave? Or anything?" She posed the question with a curios glint, not only to see if she would know of a place she could stay, but if she would even answer the question, she gazed to the animals behind her and smiled, before starting to pack her things.

Mephistel

The dragon looked at the human for a moment, then asked.

-Why do you seek refuge from the stars?-

She wondered. But it was true, human were weak creature. If it rained, they could get sick, while her could stand in the rain without even feeling its coldness on her scales. She wasn't sure she wanted to help that human, she was still fearful of her blade.

-I can show you a place...-

Her motherly instinct was telling her that leaving that child in the wild wasn't the right thing to do, she hoped she wouldn't be fool again. She stood up, taking the egg in her mane and started to walk away, the small animals were following on her trail as it did begin to rain. Clouds were gathering and a small rain was starting.

She extended her wings to protect the small animals from the rain as they were running under them.

ZeroOrgan

Meliadoul laughed, she laughed and laughed, shaking her head near the end of her laughter, calming down to a giddy giggle, She stood up, looking up to the dragons, smiling and pulling off her hood. Before speaking in a soft, caring tone.

"..Dragon, the stars are the /last/, thing I seek refuge " She looked back behind her, quickly drawing her blade, taking stance, in almost a  defending manner of the dragon.

"Id highly suggest you run,"

Meliadoul counted the torch lights, her eyes and ears working together to try and track how many hunters came for her, or the dragon. Of their target she was unsure.

She counted 15, maybe 20.

Mephistel

The dragon turned her head, she hadn't notice the torches, but the young human had. Was she so weak and blind to not even notice that many? Fear struck her again. She roared heavily as she raised herself up. They wouldn't take her child, nor herself, not again.

The rain was getting heavier and the ground muddy. It fell on the dragon scales slowly.

-They shall not pass!-

She roared again. Their movements were stopped as long vines started grabbing at them, but this was taking a lot from the weakened dragon, which then extended her wings to move away. This would at least slow them.

ZeroOrgan

Meliadoul took a moment to notice the Dragon's current physical health, and she was majorly concerned, although as the Dragon massed her strength to slow down the men, she charges straight foward, pulling over her green hood. She charged towards the vanguard of the brigade, taking in a deep breath. taking in the fresh cold air while it lasted, and did not taste of blood and rotten bodies, hers, or theirs.  The Horses were slowed, Pretty much useless at this point, and she thrust towards what seemed was the leader of the vanguard, in his current state on the horse he couldn't do much, and was stabbed through the gut upwards, She quickly moved onwards, Sadly most of the other warriors had begane to dismount, still having trouble moving that is from all the vines, but it was better then being on an unstable horse.

Meliadoul took charge towards the first man, He swung downwards to his head, his foot work was incredibly sloppy because of the vines, she simply moved into bulls guard, and stabbed into his heart, ending his life as she kicked him off of his blade.

She continued to do this, quickly thrusting and slashing through the brigade of slowed men, taking one at a time. She fought, although they were starting to break free. More and more started to resist, gaining morale through one man in the back, she couldn't tell. Soon three were apon her.

Meliadoul took Bull's gaurd, parrying a downwards strike and pushing it to the side, stabbing right through the leather gambesson . A sudden flash of pain met her in the back of her left shoulder, One of the men had snuck behind her, and missed the blow to her head due to her movement foward. She quickly took stance and sliced his throat with a blade. The last one charged at her with a dagger, "Poor fool" She thought, she had the range advantage, She quickly thrust towards his chest, he couldn't dodge it time.

Then , they gained moral , ten about her. She did the best she could, parrying, slicing, managing to take two of them out but there was simply too many, she knew she wouldn't last long and her wounds were starting to amass. She wouldn't fail, she wouldn't /die/ to this. She unleashed a battle cry, gaining a sudden burst of energy, her adrenaline up she managed to grab the shaft of a spear, yanking it from the man with immense strength, She quickly turned on a swivel, Killing one at a time, stab after stab..

Until one of them, a man of 7 ft tall managed to resist the full slow of the vines, and charged through them towards Meliadoul, Meliadoul took pflug stance, placing the blade at her hip with the point pointed towards his head. The man had a dane axe, nearly as tall as him. He swung towards her, and she stepped foward into the shaft, taking a mightly blow towards her side, causing her to keel over and cough. But she would persevere, stabbing through his maile into his chest... Pushing him off the blade of the spear.

She took a knee, breathing heavy, coughing a tad of blood as she stood up, using the spear as a heavy support..

Mephistel

Tamariel was looking at the fight from the air, she couldn't but been worried, but she couldn't fight, she had to protect her egg. Why was that human fighting for her? Why would she do such a reckless thing?

As the fight ended and the young woman was wounded heavily, Tamariel landed near her, the corpses of the man soiling the ground with blood. The fight was over, she walked to her, worried. Would she live? It was obvious the girl needed help or she wouldn't last.

-You fought for me...why?-

She asked, but probably she couldn't even speak. Moving closer, he lay lower for the girl to hang on to her, she needed to be treated, and quick.

-Can you hold on to me...I will take you to a healer...-

She said. It was the least she could do after been saved.

ZeroOrgan

Meliadoul smiled, and coughed. "Some...Somethings I cant explain..others , my god can". Meliadoul grabbed onto her wing lightly, although firm enough not to fall off, although she shook her head.

"Ill...be fine" She took a potion from her bag, chugging it. She had drunk enough potions where her immune system built up a resistance to the other side affects.

"I..just need rest.., Mind if I sleep here?" She smiled sluggishly, something she did rarely.

In the meantime, Meliadoul blanked out. Having an internal memory of times past..

"Hey! Meli! Get up!"

She giggled at the thought.

Mephistel

Tamariel was surprised, but she would respect her choice.

-Yes...you can...-

The dragon said softly as the girl was drinking a potion. As the girl would fall asleep, Tamariel softly took her within her arms and carried her away, eventually reaching another small valley where she landed softly without waking her up and lay down under a huge tree to protect themselves from the rain. She lay the girl at her side, against her warmth and waited. Protecting her with her wing.

Her mother like nature was taking over. That girl had saved her, she could do as much in return. Here, she was safe from harm or cold.

ZeroOrgan

Meliadoul would be carried off Gracefully and thankful.  She began to have a dream about her past time..About her Origin as a warrior... Although if the dragon looked, there would be a bright white glow glowing from her chest... Meliadoul started to slowly sprout a single white wing, from her back, it tearing through her armor and robes.



Meliadoul! Wake up!

Meliadoul shifted in her sleep onto her stomache.

Mephistel

Tamariel eventually took notice of the wing growing out of the girl's back. She was curious about it but did not dare to touch it. She didn't want to harm her. Her egg was still in her mane, warm and safe as she simply watch over the girl.

Small animal was once again gathering around her, seeking her protection. She had always been one to protect weaker then herself, but she feared human. Even tough that girl had save her, she would just repay her debt and go.

She had suffer too much at their hands.
