Harm was not put off by her politeness "who are you" he barked leveling his blade at her

"My name?" she muses playfully "why, I can't remember it's been so long since I've told it to someone that I must have forgotten it.'' She says

A confused harm takes a step backwards dumbfounded before glaring at her "name" he growled at her "now"

She puts her hand to her chin thinking "one second" she says it'll come to me" as he stood blade at the ready "AH, that's right" she says as if to herself "Valka, that was it, sorry it's been a long time since I've talked to another actual person" she replies with a smile.

"What are you doing in my woods" he asked with an edge to his tone.

"Yours?" She asked "and just how do the woods belong to you" she snips back at him crossing her arms over her chest.

"Answer the question" he growls tensing every muscle in his body as he refuses to let his glare relent.

She turns waving her arm towards the chasm "I was just drawn to his place" she says looking into the abyss.

"Well, outsider" he say venomously "this place is off limits to everyone"

"Oh yeah then why are you here" she mocks

"I ask the question's" he growls, "now leave while you still can"

"Oh" she smirks, "and what are you going to do about it"

Harm charges at her with a primordial scream as he does he is slammed from his side by something, something really big and angry. He rolls with it and is thrown several feet through the air and ragdolls across the ground. As he regains his bearings he sees a dragon across from him, none the like of which he has seen before. He takes step to his side and the dragon mimics his action keeping itself firmly between harm and Valka.

He puts his fingers too hiss lips and lets out a screeching whistle, the dragon cringes slightly but is overall un-phased. Harm takes a step forward and raises his sword, the dragon lowers its head and growls at him as he does. As he does a ball of fire screams down from the sky and broadsides the dragons sending it rolling sideways across the ground.

The dragon scrambles to its feet looking around frantically for the source before spikes began to rain from above lodging themselves into the ground around the dragon. An earsplitting screech pierced the air as firefly plummets downward and lands beside harm while baring its fangs at the other dragon preparing its magnesium fire in its throat.

Then the woman stands up and walks over to the edge of the chasm gaining the attention of all the others who seem to forget their previously held anger and become enthralled with her action. She bows slightly before walking over to her dragon and taking to the skies without a word.

Harm could have chased her but honestly, what was the point. Contented with his solitude he took a seat at the edge of the chasm, but for the life of him could not remember why he had come here in the first place. Regardless he felt relaxed at the quiet solace, he had always loved this place it just felt so alive. Whenever he came here he felt as though the ground could give way under his feet and some monstrous creature might spring from the ground, something from an era long dead that he was still convinced lived at the bottom of the chasm.

Enjoying the silence he rolled onto his side and felt the warm steam that always seeped from the Everfalls heat the air around him. He stayed like this until he fell asleep.
