DISCLAIMER

I am writing this fanfiction simply for fun. This is simply how I wish the story could go. I do not own the characters Rayla, Callum, King Harrow, Azymondious, Ezran, Viren, Claudia, Soren, Bait, Amaya, Gren, Runaan, Corvus, Ellis, Ava, Opeli, Lujanne, Aaravos, Sarai, Villads, Berto, and Queen Anaya, nor do I own Xaidia, Katolis, or anything else within The Dragon Prince series. I thank them for their creative story, as I would never be able to even come close to making it myself. Thank you for visiting my story, please leave helpful/positive reviews, and enjoy the story.

Rayla already knew most of Xadia by heart. She knew what plants you could eat, which plants had thorns, animals, everything. As for Callum...

"Hey, Rayla, look at this fruit-OW!" Callum exclaimed as a thorn pricked his hand.

"Oh, you found some sun-fruit! Funny you didn't notice the half inch thorns." She teased. He was such an easy target.

His confusion was obvious. But she didn't know why she felt different.

And what was she about to confess to him near the border?

"Rayla, I can't get this out of my hand!" Callum said.

Looks like THAT question will have to wait.

"Ugh, let me see" she turned around and Callum held out his hand.

"Wedged itself in there pretty good. Hold still" she pulled out her sword and flicked it open. Callum shook a little.

"Keep shakin' like that, an' a thorn will be the least of your problems," she said, a little annoyed. She dug the thorn out, bandaged it, and put the blade away.

"Be a bit more careful next time." She informed.

"We should set up camp, it's gettin' dark." She told him.

"Fine by me."

She grabbed a blanket out of her bag and laid down. Callum laid down next to her. She was a bit cold but still shivering. Callum wrapped his arms around her. She blushed, and she was a little surprised that he noticed. She let him.
