Okay, so Mint was a bit OOC. I've changed the chapter a bit to fix that.
Wyvern: Part 3
*Who the heck am I?*
Rhea was perched on the edge of a dock, feet hanging over the water.
Her clothes gave her no clue; a hooded robe of shifting green, edged with dark brown and black patterns. Sturdy traveling boots. And the weapon she had - a long wooden staff, with jagged, curved scythe blades at both ends. The only strange thing about this staff was the twining dragon design carved around it, and the unusual flame pattern on both the blades.
As for her appearance... She bent over to the point of falling off the pier, and stared at her reflection.
Her silver-blue hair was tied back in a ponytail, but some of the hair on the left side her face was cut off short so it concealed what had been done to her; the horrible, twisting scars that disfigured the left side of her face and the empty hole where her eye should have been.
It didn't conceal the hole in her forehead.
It was a shallow, diamond-shaped thing, a dark scoop mark between and slightly above her eyes. It didn't look like an accident either...as though something should have been placed there but hadn't been. Klaus had frowned at it when he saw it, but no one else seemed to take notice.
Her appearance wasn't TOO unusual otherwise...after all, that guy she'd found, that Rue, looked odder than she did. Even her pale golden eyes and pointed ears didn't seem to stand out too much.
(am a......vern...)
(...Thinking it was just a veil...)
Rhea gasped in shock as a piece of memory slipped into the conscious part of her brain.
(...LAR BLAST!...)
(Malys...what......doing...?)
(Tren, I thought I......ay...inside!...)
Fragments of speech, and a glimpse of a blond-haired boy....and it was gone.
Rhea stood up to walk back to Carona, thinking, *What the hell was that...?*
*******
Mint was just relieved that the ship didn't crash this time. Even if it had, she was too worried about Rue to take much notice.
She jumped down from the ship's deck before they'd even touched the dock...
And landed on someone.
"OW! Hey, watch where you're going!" She'd whacked the other person a blow in the back. Luckily, the ship wasn't too high off the ground, so there wasn't much chance of cracked spinal cords.
"*You* watch where you're going! Why didn't you just look up, catgirl?" said Mint, slipping automatically into 'bratty princess' mode, as she pulled the other girl roughly to her feet. "Hey, wait a minute. I never saw you in Carona before."
The other girl rolled her amber eyes, annoyed by the 'catgirl' insult. "I would think not. Are you Mint, by any chance? Klaus told me to wait here for you."
Mint was ready to launch into a tirade of "That's PRINCESS Mint to you," but something in the girl's words caught her attention. "Klaus sent you? But since when would Klaus know such a weirdo...oh. You're Rhea, right?"
Rhea nodded, deciding she didn't like Mint's manners too much. "C'mon. They're all waiting for you." She strode off.
"...Weird looking," mumbled Mint. Then she was running to catch up.

There...better? Or did I overdo it?
