Unbeknownst to the party something was watching them gather and collectively take off in their respective ways, or to be more specific, two somethings. A large pitch black shadow was nestled in the trees hiding from sight while watching intently. The large one tilted his large head slightly to the right as Sicarus became airborne, shifting further into the foliage to better hide. The small human on the back of the dragon stood up to keep his view. His face and body was unrecognizable given the use of his goggles, a mask covering his mouth, and the leather armor that covered the rest of his body. The only noticeable feature was his white hair that flowed gracefully in the breeze that pierced the leaves. It was a strange sight to be sure, especially since teh dragon was so big that his tail fell down low on the branches and just hung there for all to see.

The dragon let out a low grumble that vibrated in his powerful chest. To which his rider respond softly, "Shhh... it's ok... we'll go soon. I promise." Patting the side of the large black beast's head to reassure him. Then returning to standing atop the dragons head he resumed his patient watch of the others.
