Oh but that's not fun, is it? Maybe I can change this a tiny bit?"[/color] Nailah asked as she and Allard walked towards where the weird dragon woman was waiting for them. Allard started to talk a bit about the other members of the alliance. They sounded pretty interesting for Nailah. A seraphim guy named Mason, whom according to Allard was out cold when they arrived at the town of Pearl, a noble seraphim woman and two lassa girls were some of the members that Allard mentioned opther than the amazon woman that she saw at the inn, Siiga and the armored guy, Garret. Due to the way he was talking, apparently there were more but they didn't know each other that well... Maybe that group was just recently formed? Finally arriving on their destination, Allard's voice as he pointed towards Dremmick interrupted Nailah's thoughts. At first, the dragon woman that called them was nowhere to be seen. Nailah almost thought that it was all just a prank or maybe a trap of some sorts but just when the rest of the members, or at least some of them, arrived, the dragon woman revealed herself. As she started to talk, Nailah couldn't help but keep staring at her. Her exotic appearance was unlike any other she had ever seen. Different from dragons and all other races... Her skin, both as white as marble and as black as dragon's glass, or obsidian as some called it. The more she looked at her and heard the dragon woman's words, the more her feeling that she wasn't a common dragon grew, until all her suspicions were confirmed... After asking to keep her own identity a secret, the dragon woman gave a few steps back as a weird, unknown type of magic overflowed from her. It was unlike the magic Nailah saw other descended use... It was much more... raw, primitive and volatile... After a brief moment, the dragon woman showed her true form. Towering over even Allard himself, she was different from any other dragon Nailah had heard about. Even though her elegant body was smaller, leaner and more fragile than most of other dragons, the aura emanating from her was nothing short of terrifying. The oppressive primal magic coming from her was enough to make Nailah's insides tremble. Yet, even with all that pressure, it was clear that the female dragon didn't meant harm. After apologizing herself and suppressing her aura, Nailah finally felt that she could breathe once more. Sophia, the guardian of knowledge, as she introduced herself, started to talk with a much more serious tone. Warning the group about the danger not only them, but all the descended would face, her words carried enough weight to eliminate any doubt that what she said might be only an exaggeration. Her warnings only became even more serious when she heard her talking about Nuxta and the Godsmith's hammer. Whatever that 'Alliance group' was, it was apparently something pretty important... Their mission, as told by Sophia was of extreme importance. It sounded like she stumbled upon something pretty big... and interesting. As the dragon woman continued speaking, she tried to absorb as much as she could while simultaneously thinking about all that she just heard. Some of the things that Sophia said sounded a bit too big to be true... Almost as if it was something straight out of one of those books telling about things like the Dragon god, the first descended & etc, but the way Sophia was saying, the weight her words had and her expression said something entirely different. It wasn't exaggeration, nor merely a story. It was about to happen sooner than they all could expect. It was then that Sophia said she had something to give the group. Something to aid them in their trials. Getting one of the strange, feather-like scales from her wing, she made a shallow cut on her hand starting a ritual. Words, symbols and magic circles were formed with her blood, quickly changing and circling around the scale and shortly after being absorbed by it. Even if Nailah tried to read them or memorize them, when she focused on them, she felt a sharp headache and was forced to look away. When the ritual was finally done, Sophia explained what exactly it was and asked to the group who would be responsible for it. [color=C86060]"That was... really... something..."[/color] Nailah murmured as she looked to Sophia, in a mix of awe, shock and admiration. She had never experienced nor felt something like that. [color=C86060]"What exactly are you guys after...? The godsmith's hammer? Nuxta?"[/color] Nailah asked, looking directly towards Allard's eyes, almost as if she was trying to read his thoughts as she leaned towards him. [color=C86060]"Those names... I heard them only in stories..."[/color] Nailah said, turning her head with a confused expression, followed by a moment of silence as she tried to put her thoughts in order. The usually flirty Nailah, whom always had a smirk on her face had a serious expression as she stood there in silence, absorbing all that she had just heard. [color=C86060]"I... technically I'm not yet a part of the group, so I believe that you should be the ones to decide... By the way, what she told you is right, you know? You guys should know more about each other... If what she said is correct, we will face a lot of things... We need to know and trust each other, right?"[/color] Nailah said after a while, returning to her usual self as she walked around the other members, close enough for them to feel her warm skin. [color=C86060]"I am Nailah, a priestess of the Fallen Goddess. Allard asked me to travel with him for a bit as a way to repay what I did for him, but I may stay for a bit longer now that I heard what Sophia had to say and saw you guys... You're quite the weird group, aren't you?"[/color] Nailah said with a giggle. [color=C86060]"After all, just like Sophia said, you will need all the help you can get. And I can be pretty~ helpful, you know?"[/color] Nailah said, winking playfully.
