Vakaris slowly crack his eyes open as the final rays of the sunlight begin to disappear. He Got up off the cave floor and stretch his legs and wings in preparation of the journey he knew he had ahead of him. "If I am correct Warfang is to the..." He begin to make calculations in his head determining the general direction warfang is from here. He snaps his claws and point to the west. "It's that way!" He said to myself. Vakaris then spreads his wings and took off into the night sky. He looked around the area and notice some smoke coming up from the trees.
Curiosity getting the best off him, Vakaris had landed in the tree line a good distance to the origin of the smoke. Slowly closing in on foot, He stepped in some liquid on the ground. He look down at it and gasp as I saw what the strange liquid was. It was blood. Worried if something bad had happened to whoever was here, He ran to the camp in a full sprint, break through bushes that were in his way that also hides the view of the smokes origin.
What Vakaris saw made his stomach turn inside out. It was Remains of a camp, the campfire seems like it has died out recently. There was also smears of blood all over the place. A trail of blood leads away from the camp into the forest. "What happened here?" Scenarios of what happened went through his head. "Whoever was here may have been attacked by some predators, or maybe they were slaughtered by a wondering drake, or maybe I did this subconsciously..."
Vakaris noticed a sword on the ground near a large pile of blood. He hesitantly pick the sword up and tied the holster on His back. Vakaris then heard the sound of a snapping branch close by. Reacting as quickly as he could he held the sword up with both hands pointing it at the direction of the sound. Very slowly, He stepped back away from the origin of the sound spreading His wings in preparation to take off. if what had caused this came out of hiding, He didn't want to be here. Vakaris quickly took off into the night sky as he took a final look at the devastated camp, feeling bad for the people who were there. He looked away and begin to forget what had seen as the moon light reflects off his scales.
Flying for what seemed a while, Vakaris landed in a small clearing to rest for a bit. He had placed his things down near a tree and climbed up it to gather some sticks for a fire. As Vakaris was grabbing sticks the were good enough for a fire, he heard the sound of rustling bushes to his left. On reaction Vakaris use an acid breath on the bush and it begins to slowly corrode away. "Ow ow ow ow it burns!" A voice said coming from the bush.
A small dragon with red scales and a grey underbelly falls out from the bush a little bit of acid on his arm. The dragons form and appearance show that they were a fire element dragoness. Vakaris sighed as he walked on over to her and wipe the acid off of her. "I'm sorry about the acid. It's just that you sneaked up on me and I took a simple reaction shot." Vakaris said in a calm and relaxed tone trying not to scare them. The dragoness looked up at him with a look of confusion. "What's wrong with your scales?" the dragon says.
Vakaris look away from her and look at his scales remembering why they black and red. "They are just dirty..." He said hiding the truth. "Ok then you must have some dirty scales because there pure black almost as if you were exposed to some dark elements." She says laughing as if she was joking. "Y-yea I know right..." Vakaris said scared if she knows he's not telling the truth. She turns away from me and looked at the pile of sticks He had. "Why are you making a campfire?" she asks looking back at Vakaris. "I was going to rest up after flying all night." she looks at His side looking worried. "Why do you have a sword?" she said pointing at it.
Vakaris curse under his breath looking at it. "Well it's for protection, I have to keep things that will harm me away somehow right?" He said turning away. Vakaris sat down the pile of sticks and set it up for a camp fire. "Can you light this for me?" He asked as he backed away from the pile. The dragoness opened her mouth and releases a breathe of flame from her mouth staring a small campfire. "So...what's your name?" Vakaris asked the dragoness while looking at the fire not wanting to make eye contact. "My name is Cassila what's yours?"
Vakaris look over at cassila confused as to why she's asking for his name. "I...I've never been asked my name before." He stared into the fire remembering fires He had caused which engulfed and burned whole villages down. "To be honest I don't know the name I was given at birth...I guess you can call me Vakaris" He said as he looked away from the fire pushing the memories into the back of his mind.
"So, Vakaris...Where are you headed?" Vakaris look over to her as she asked that question wondering if he should be honest with her. "I...I'm headed to Warfang..." She smiles jumping up her face filled with excitement "I'm headed to Warfang as well! Maybe we should travel together." Vakaris turned away from her sighing as he thought it over. "I...I think that would be a good idea." Vakaris said knowing he's probably going to regret this later. He yawn laying down on his back. "For now just get some sleep..." Vakaris close his eyes as he drift into sleep.
