Love is a Battle Worth Winning

[✧♏arie✧]

OOC: Marie is an elf, not human.

Marie understood she would have to tell them soon, before they started fighting. Again. Marie carefully went through what she would say to them in her mind. If she was going to tell hem she wanted to do it right. Marie's senses picked up someone's odor. Marie's eyes and ears automatically focused on a girl coming out from the foliage. Jason made an akward glance to Marie as the both watched her walk toward the group.

Yes... Amber's reply faded as someone strolled toward them. Now, who might that be? Amber redirected her mind to Marie's.
Friend of yours? The orange dragon asked her bond.
Marie looked at Amber, who was looming over her.
I haven't met her before. Marie puzzled about this newcomer. Marie glanced at Jason, but Midnight was standing in the way. His dragon-body blocked Jason from view.

"Hello..." Marie said in an akward-shy voice. This was the wierdest time for someone to show up. In the middle of all this... Amber cocked her head. Her scales glittered. Marie guessed Amber wasn't just doing that to show curiousity.
Show-off. Marie teased. Amber nuged Marie with her tail playfully. Jason glanced at Baviel, then at Midnight. Midnight looked at the girl.

Baviel started to hum his mother's tune once more while he waited patiently for Marie's answer, then heard a faint "Hi." and shot his glance towards the person who said it and gave a confused look when he saw a unfamiliar human woman standing close to their party. After a brief shock of surprise and confusion he stood up and brushed off any dust he had on him and awkwardly waved at her while wondering why she was here.

Odd... and how funny to have a stranger show up while this was going on... i just hope she is friendly. After the thought Baviel turned towards Marie then to Jason wondering what they thought of the newcomer. Shrugging he sat back down cross-legged while unconsciously brushing a knife he kept inside his boot while calling to the woman. "Excuse me miss, but may I ask what brings you to our camp?"

He gave a friendly smile, but a sharp gaze towards her to show he was prepared to defend him and his friends. Shiroryuu looked down towards the camp when he heard his bonds thoughts about a newcomer coming into the camp and saw the new human somewhat away from the three two-legs and decided to fly somewhat close towards the human to get a closer look at her.

"hello"she said while declining her head in a nod toward the elf man she waved a said her cloke in what seemed like anccedent but she ment to show him her swords just incase. "My name is Dana I am a magician of the varden friend of gidion dragon rider" as she said this she noticed she had made a mistake the girl was an elf not a human. "you are all riders correct"she asked quizzically? She noticed the two dragons and she guessed that the one that flew over head was the male elfs one a brilliant orange the Other an amazing midnight blue. " may I ask of your names" she said.

OOC: my toon is human Marie is the one with all the elves so far just to let ya know

Baviel sighed in somewhat relief with a friendly face showing up, though he was still curious about why she was here. He saw a glint of metal from the newcomer and assumed she was showing a sword as a warning. "I never saw you before, Dana is it, while i have been in the Varden. And to answer your previous question..." he turned to look at the two elves wondering if he should tell this Dana they are riders.

Baviel shrugged and ignored the question while he waited to see if Marie or Jason wished to share the rider information and said, "I'm Baviel, it's a pleasure to meet you..." Shiroryuu kept hovering in circles above the newcomer to keep an eye on her while the others try to gauge if she is friend or foe. Baviel gently contacted Marie through mental connection and said, Marie... should we trust this person? he kept gazing at the new woman that was with them to avoid giving away the fact he was contacting Marie mentally.

OOC: dang i am relly butchuring this lol

«hello baviel its nice to meet you the reason you dont know me is because i am new i came from the city of aroughs not to far form surda«she said with a kind smile. at that moment she felt something with her mind she figured it was them sizing her up so she let it go and wated to see what they would say

[✧♏arie✧]

OOC: Also, Midnight is dark black. I would have named him Night or Shadow but I liked Midnight best.

"Yes, I am a rider. No sense hiding it if you can see our bonds. This," Jason motioned toward the black dragon behind him. "is Midnight." Midnight blinked what seemed to be a "hello" to the newcomer. Marie just nodded when it was her turn to answer.
"The name of my bond is Amber." Marie said and gave Amber's leg a pat, since that was all she could reach from the ground.

Marie recognized Baviel's mind at once. I don't think it would be wise to trust her. Not at first, anyways. She could be an empire spy... Well, I suppose I could have been one when you met me...until my past was told and tested in order for me to join the varen. We could at least try to trust her, but we should be careful. Marie replied, not taking her eyes off Dana.

Amber looked at Dana, wondering why she came. Maybe she was curious, or maybe she could be some kind of assassin sent to kill riders. Amber wasn't going to worry too much. Marie and the others could handle a magician. The fact that they had dragons on their side would help, too. She could still be dangerous. Amber nor Marie knew not what sort of power she had in her, but Amber was sure Dana did not know the same about them. It helped that Marie was elven, possibly with more magic experience.

as dana took another step twoards the group as she did she noticed the color of the dark dragons scales whernt relly midnight blue but a deep black but because of the sun light shining on him the scals looked a deep blue she then heard the fmale elf she told the names of the drgons fitting names she said amber close to ember just like the color of the scales then midnight the darkest part of most days then she told me the name of the male elf jason was his name and hers was marie then dana said i have no real reson to be here just that fate brought me here to meet use for i am in need of some one to teach me magic and also i would like a group to travel with i know we just meet but i belive this was fate that we meet for yous are the answer to my problems pleas dont turn me away ples she said as she started to cry and she fell to one knee

[ϟ ßaviel ϟ]

OOC: tis fine tis fine we all have mistakes we just learn from em and move on

Baviel mentally nodded with Marie's comment and said, Aye at first I thought you were a little suspicious when I first saw you, but something about you seemed very trusting. he mentally chuckled at the thought then turned his attention back towards Dana and said, "Aye I'm a dragon rider as well, though my bond is up in the air at the moment." Baviel then walked to his sword he stuck into the ground, cleaned it off, then placed it back into its sheath while listening to Dana's reason for being here.

When she finished he gave a quizzical look at her and said, "Interesting... may I ask what problems plague you?" Baviel felt uncomfortable seeing Dana cry while kneeling to the ground. Shiroryuu noticed his bond and how uncomfortable he felt and mentally shook his head as he decided to silently land close to his bond and watched Dana to see what will happen next.

[✧♏arie✧]

ooc: When I first made Amber I couldn't figure out a name. Eventually I named her after the orange-ish stone "Amber". Seemed perfect for her metalic scales, but she is a bit darker than that stone.

Marie wondered how exactly she seemed trusting, but paused the thought. Marie grew surprised when Dana started to weep, and glanced at Amber. Jason, now closer to Dana, seem starled as well. "Hey, you don't have to cry." He said akwardly. He didn't answer the question about her wanting to tag along with them, wondering if the others thought differently. "We never said we didn't wnt you with us. We were just at an akward point a moment ago..." Jason could tell that Marie had been about to say something important beore Dana came, but she never got the chance.

[hagvar]

Ooc did u no that amber is made out of relly old tree sap that hardend into a stone

"I no it's just that my whole life I was looking to be needed I'm Sorry I got a littel carried away she said" while whiping her eyes and brushing off her knee. I would like to start over she took one step forward and said " hello my name is Dana Friend of gidion dragon rider it's nice to meet you all". She bowed to the people. then directed to Jason she asked "did I interrupt something? if so I am deeply sorry." then adressed to the group she said "last I am in need of training in magic and sword fighting. If one of yous can help it would be much appreciated." with this She bowed One more Time and steped back to her original place.

OOC: i apologize for how long i was absent was at friends house and its hard to type when i don't have much a keyboard and mouse to work with :/ but back now

Baviel nodded as he pondered what Dana spoke knowing how that felt before he met Marie and Jason, though when he heard "Master Rider" from her he winced in short annoyance from the fact she might of thought herself lower then him. He sighed softly to himself and looked to the two elves he called friend and one he loved and then said to her, "We all know what it feels like to want the king dethroned, and I can personally say I know how you feel when it comes to wanting to be useful."

He smiled to himself as he thought about his past before he became a dragon rider, always wanting to prove himself and show that he could do something as important as anyone else. He contacted Marie with a gentle touch of his mind and asked, If we bring her along I wouldn't mind teaching her swordsmanship until she seems ready to learn from either you or Jason, unless Jason or you wish to teach her yourselves.

he mentally laughed to her from the comment and showing he wouldn't care which of them taught her. His thoughts turned to magic training and winced mentally at the thought of teaching her sense he was a mild caster himself and said to Marie, If either you or Jason could teach her magic though that would be great... I am not really that great when it comes to magic compared to either of you, so I would appreciate it if one of you could teach her that. He then waited to see what Jason or Marie would do next, unsure if Dana was to join them on their little vacation, or even in the future missions with them.

[hagvar]

Dana watched as baviel winced prolly because she called him master rider but she was not sure. Then baviel you know why I need you and your friends help. So I can finally become what I've come here to be a Wepon. A Wepon that can be used at any time and for any need. Also to be whanted by someone or a group of people. Please let me stay with you all it would pleas me much. "I hope in time we could become great friends and even as I like to call it adopted family so Pleas take this in to great consideration.

[✧♏arie✧]

OOC: Why, yes I did know about the old sap and Amber. I've been gone for a while as well. Sorry! I got a job now. ;D

Jason nodded to Baviel's comment. Jason remembered Marie telling him about her life when they had their little get together. "Marie being one of us whom probably most wants him gone..." Jason muttered quietly. "Sorry, I probably shouldn't talk about your life." Jason apologized quietly to Marie.
"It's fine." She whispered back to him. Jason glanced to the side at Baviel. Marie was looking at Baviel. Probably having a conversation. This made Jason's anger come back slightly. He controlled himself. After all, they were probably just planning what they would say in reply to her. Right?

So you're in on this. I suppose we all could coach her. I some things and you and Jason others. If Jason would be willing to, I mean. I might be able to teach her some quick-movement type moves if she is fast enough to make them effective, and you... Marie noticed she was going a bit too fast with the plans. Well, we can see once we start. If we do decide to teach her. After a moment of pause Baviel mentioned magic training. Yes, I suppose I have trained longer in that particular subject. My mentor trained me well. Marie was reminded of her old days of training when she was younger. Once, when her mentor had left to gather in the woods beyond their little shack Marie tried to levitate a sack of firewood. The bag had risen into the air for a while, and Marie had just watched it float there. Soon she became tired and the sack was released from the spell. It came down in a crash of logs and wood chips, covering the shack floor. Opps. Marie had to grin at the thought. Her surprised mentor's look when he returned... Marie's grin faded. Then, those days were lost after her mentor's mysterious death. Then, Baviel,Jason and her Bond had come into her life, and the days she'd spent with them had been the happiest in her life.

OOC: lucky ive been trying to get one and i will hear from my job interview tomorrow with good or bad news im hoping for good

Baviel looked at Marie once more when he heard her comment and said,Yes I am on with this and yes I'll teach what little I know about magic and as much as I can teach her swordsmanship. he then noticed she was drifting in thought to something about her past and decided to block off the connection to avoid invading her privacy in anyway.

As he severed the connection he turned his attention to Dana and said, "Dana you must realize this, but being nothing but a weapon is rather dull and I personally frown upon the idea of you just being a tool to help us. If I for one train you, you will be a equal or a student nothing more." He showed a somewhat cold look to prove he detested the idea of being nothing, but a weapon to someone.

Sighing to himself he calmed his mind and then turned back to the matter at hand before Dana came to the fray and contacted Marie mentally and said, I hate to bug you Marie, but were you about to say something before Dana interrupted? He even showed curiosity through the contact, but even tried to show support and reassurance hoping it might calm her thoughts about that subject if she was nervous with anything. Shiroryuu after landing by his bond he decided to walk towards Dana, brushed his mind against her gently and lowered his head to hers to look at her with a giant eye and said, If I might ask Why would you want to be nothing more than a weapon?
