Diana sat in her small house at the edge of the Hadarac desert, staring out the window. As she did every day since escaping Uru'baen, she marveled at how she had survived. It hardly seemed possible, because she didn't know how to hunt for food and could hardly build a suitable house for herself. Somehow, Serenity seemed to know that Diana needed to eat as well as she and hunted for both of them.
Diana sighed and slipped out the door and walked to the fair-sized aquamarine dragon. She wasn't big enough to ride yet, but she was too large to fit in the house anymore.
Hello, Serenity, Diana told her. Serenity yawned and sent Diana some calm and pleasant feelings. She had always done that, which was why Diana named her like she did.
Good morning, little one, she said.

Jyar dodged a half-hearted blow from Tor."Hey don't get angry at me your the one who didn't want a horse,"Jyar replied after another swipe at his person.Tor gave him a dirty look and Jyar laughed all the louder and Myra flicked her head back to see what the commotion was about.
After more walking in the heat Jyar and Tor froze upon hearing a warning growl from Myra.They took out their weapons and advanced upon a small house.

OOC: hmm, this'll be interesting. I made this thread before I decided to have Diana become Varden, since Jeriah and Lathem have left. Now I'm gonna have to find some excuse why they're not living among the Varden. lol. And I thought the Pather's name was Myra...
Diana heard some loud noises on the other side of the house and started to worry. She always worried whenever someone approached her home, rare as the occasion was, because she was afraid it would be the Empire coming to drag her back. Serenity sent her some calming thoughts, letting her know she wasn't worried.
Shall we see our visitors? the aquamarine dragon asked. Diana nodded and together, ready for anything, they walked around the house to see who approached them.

occ:Whoops I got used to Mia and I haven't used these guys yet.
As Myra ran around the house and hid near a large sand dune Jyar knocked his Urgal bow and sniffed the air.He was about to worn Tor that a dragon was around the house when they appeared.Tor yelled and charged and tripped over his own feet when he tried to stop himself once he noticed the dragon.
As Tor jumped up spitting and yelling a stream of curses out Jyar burst out laughing but didn't take his arrow away from the rider's heart."Who are you," he asked once he stopped.

Diana watched with slight amusment as the dwarf started at her and Serenity's appearance. She was a little frightened by the elf's arrow aimed at her, though. Serenity sent her some soothing emotions, then extended the gesture to the others. Diana gathered her courage to speak.
"I am Diana," she told him, speaking cautiously, "and this is Serenity. We are allies of the Varden and fugitives of the Empire. Who are you two?"

Jyar smiled at the small dragon and the girl,"That is good to hear, but please excuse me for the arrow trained on your heart we must be careful during these times.Jyar had felt that the girl was honest and kind so he whistled for Myra to come out of hiding.I am Jyar and this is Tor and Myra."
Tor relaxed his grip on his weapon but shrugged the soothing emotion coming from the dragon not trusting these two but trusting Jyar.he nodded his head and gave a gruff reply to the girl.

We understand, Serenity said, settling in place and watching carefully the arrow trained at her Rider's heart, ready to snap it out of the air at any moment. Diana looked cautiously at the three standing before her. One was an elf, one a dwarf, and the last was a panther. Though she doubted any would be working for the Empire, she wasn't ready to take the chance. She stood a ways back from them and watched them.
"I apologize for not approaching. As you are not sure you can trust me, I do not trust you. I have been pursued by the Empire for months...since the day Serenity hatched, actually. If you work for the king, we would have no choice but to attack...and I have no doubt such an attempt would be in vain." She sighed, recognizing her helplessness.

Tor gave a chuckle,"Your durn right yur attack would be in vain but you have no need mam 'cause we come as Varden supporters too."Tor did a most surprising thing at that moment he strapped his axe across his back.Myra licked his leg to much protest and brought on some chuckles from Jyar.
Jyar had a grin on his face but followed his example and put his bow behind his back though his hand was near his sword in case it was needed. "So we seem to trust you even though you have a dragon twice the size of Myra, so will you trust us?"

"I don't trust anyone," Diana said, a slight smile on her face. Serenity snorting, releasing a puff of smoke.
What she means is, we do trust you, but not to the point of stupidity. Diana smiled a little larger.
"Yeah, that's what I meant. Would you care to come inside? I don't have much, but I'm sure I could find some tea if I looked."

Jyar smiled at her as she talked about her boundaries on trusting them."Tea will be fine for me, but I don't know about my small friend over here,"he laughed as he pointed to the dwarf.Tor gave him an angry look and replied,"I'll have the tea 'less you have somethin' stronger if ya get what I mean."
As they walked to the house Mrya spotted a desert rat and chased it around the house and caught it.She walked over to Jyar with a smile in her eyes and Jyar grinned ight back at her and Tor gave her a pat on the bum.(Random I know)

Diana smiled at them, watching as the panther caught a desert rat. She then turned to the other two and motioned them to follow her inside.
"I'm afraid tea and water is all I have to drink. I would have something else, if I could afford it." She gave the dwarf and apologetic smile.

As they walked inside Tor frowned at the prospect of no mead but his face immediately brightened when he remembered his wine skin.He brought it out uncapped it and took a swig."Nothing like some dwarf mead to bring the feeling back to yur toes."
Jyar shook his head and whispered some thing to Myra.As soon as Tor sat down Myra's great bulk lied down on Tor's legs which made Tor throw off a few curses and slapped the cat's bum a couple of times,but became even more infuriated as he found out she was asleep."Mam please excuse my friend he is cranky at the moment."

Diana shook her head at the dwarf's curses. She looked at Jyar.
"Don't worry," she told him, "I've heard far worse before." She dug around for a while until she finally found some tea leaves. She filled a kettle with some water and put it over the small fire she had. While she waited for it to boil, she looked at her visitors.
"So, what brings you three here to this remote part of the Desert?"

Jyar set next to Tor and thought over her question."Well as I've said before we are Varden supporters, but I am elf so I must visit my homeland every now and then.We have just started to head back a couple of days ago and we have used this route before and have never seen this house."
Tor nodded at Jyar's words as he struggled to lift his feet from the 700 hundred pound panther.

Diana nodded, understanding.
"Serenity and I have only been here for a few months. We felt safer here than we would in Surda. We felt that was where the king would look for us first."
