In Times of Darkness

Krissie lifted an eye brow as Feris told her about the dragon that he would like to find, it said alot about him, there were so many ways to interpret it though. For one it showed that he didn't like being in the public eye and though not as powerful as others, he was no doubt deadly. It also showed that he rather go his own way, that he was unique, as the dragon that he wished to find was quite rare. She suddenly thought that the dragon he wished to find would be perfect for him, she couldn't wait to fly and see her own dragon and his. She tilted her head to the side as she looked at the elf, they would be together in the next part of their training as those that got their dragons at the same time pretty much always trained together. She wouldn't mind having him as a training buddy since he most likely had more knowledge about dragons than she did.

"I'm not sure." She said giving a shrug, she thought about it before when she found a mentor, but she didn't know all the dragon breeds to make a clear choice. "I think I would like to find a hybrid, but I know that they are rare to find since dragons don't breed out side their own kind. But....." She drew out the word a little as she ducked under some low branches before looking back at Feris. "I think I would like an air dragon, as they are super fast and though they don't breath fire or lighting, they have a super loud roar that can kill people. If I could find an air and fire drake hybrid that would be amazing." She said as she climbed another larger root.

As she dropped to the other side of the root she froze, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Though she knew that the forest had many creatures in it, it was said there were never any spiders. The dragons hated spiders and hunted them right out of the forest, but there was spider webs in front of her. They looked damaged and untended for some time which was a good sign, as it meant that no spiders were close. Krissie knelt next to the giant web, by the look of the silky thread it was a black back spider. She looked up at Feris with worried and concerned eyes, spiders weren't supposed to be her, not in this forest, not this close to the entrance. "What do you think?" She asked as she looked back at the giant web.

Questions rose in her mind then, where the dragons few in number? Did they let a few spiders live for sport? Or was there something at work here that was far more worry some? She hoped that none of the answers were yes, as that would mean something terrible was happening.

In Times of Darkness

Krissie smiled at Feris but had a feeling that he didn't really want to be here, not that he was scared of the forest. It was something that was deeper seated, he probably didn't like growing up with a father that was so well known. He was probably expected to be a Guardian, if not forced to be one. She suddenly understood why he was so stand off-ish, having to deal with people always expecting something from you must of been hard. If she grew up like that she would probably go a little crazy.

But she was a mixed blood, no one ever expected anything from her. She was considered by many something that could be easily tossed to the side. Sure it was looked at as special when a male human took a female elf as a bride and when a male elf took a female human as a bride. But if they had children, those kids were doomed. Even if the parents were high up in society their children would still be third class people.

Krissie was suddenly pulled from her thinking when Feris asked her about herself. She bit her before taking a deep breath and slowly letting it out. "Well, I am what some call a mutt." She said as she cliamed over a large tree root, she never knew that tree roots could get that big. "My father is a Lord of the city of Cottom by the Diglue river, and my mother was an elf. She was Queen Ginnila's woman in waiting........" She stopped talking as she swallowed, memories of her mother were painful. "She died suddenly...... three years ago, no healers could heal her. We have no idea what took her."

Krissie knew that her mother was out in the meadow by their house one morning and when she came back she was vary ill. She tried to help her mother and ask what was wrong but her mother couldn't answer. It was really odd, just how her mother fell ill and within days she was dead. "She use to tell me of stories of the Guardians and said it was a great honour to be one. I have always wanted to be a Guardian and even more so after my mothers death." She looked at Feris and gave a sad smirk. She wasn't sure if he really wanted to hear about her. But she knew that the distraction was a welcomed one since they didn't have to focus on their thirst or tired muscles.

"Duni was the only one that would mentor me, others turned me away because of my parentage." She said lending a hand to Feris as he came over another really high root. The forest was getting more difficult to navigate, she hoped that this was as hard as it got but she had a feeling that it would get worse.

Some where deep in the forest a roar rang out, the sound made Krissie's heart jump and her blood rush. She looked from the forest depths to Feris and a big smile spread across her face. She didn't need to say anything, she knew that the feeling was probably similar with him. They know we are here, they are calling us further in. She thought as her excitement died down a little.

After a few yards or what felt like a few yards of silence, she desided to break it. "So what dragon are you hoping to find or get?" She asked knowing that there were a few breeds of dragons, some more rare than others.

Restraint (my Lalia & Starling)

I raised an eye brow when Enrick said that the woman wasn't a good target, mean while he said he found the perfect target not that long ago. So was she or wasn't she the perfect target? Lord, I wanted to slap him but that would bring on too much attention to us. Well more me since I was the odd looking one out of the two of us with my tattoos and stuff. "I have nothing against the woman, just there was alot of pressure from H.Q on me to get the damn can." I say trying to clam down a bit.

Truth is I wasn't going to rat Enrick out, he was one of our few that was in the field getting us stuff, from goods to information. As much as I wanted to slap him and tell the boss, I knew we needed him. I roll my eyes when he said that I was scaring customers away, like I was scaring people off. Most people were already heading back to work since their break was over, or at least it should be. I pull cash out of my pocket and hand it over to him, "Two hotdogs and keep the rest." I say as I might as well try to "blend" in since he was right, I needed to cool and act 'normal'.

I smiled sweetly removing any anger from my face and eyes, Enrick most likely thought that I suffered from Bipolar disease or something from the 180 I just did. I waited for him to give me my hot dogs and hoped he was grateful for the extra cash I handed him as that was all I had. Sure I didn't have to pay rent or anything like that. But I had to buy things while 'up top', most of those things I traded once back at H.Q or any of our out posts that I happen to be posted at.

"Please just get the prints, the boss will either send me back later to see if you have it or he will send me tomorrow." I say lowly before looking up at him and his bird. I gently reach out and scratch his birds head and smirk before looking back at him. "And I wont rat you out." I like I'm sorry without actually saying the words but I know he understands what I am trying to say.

I know I shouldn't be worried about only one of the staff members that work here but I was. She didn't know that I was worried about her and it was probably a good thing, work place affections never really worked out or that's what everyone says. Truth was I found Louisa quite attractive and a lot of men did, I heard about it all the time in the lunch room. Of course they would shut up as soon as she walked into the room, but I could see they looked at her. Some of them would admire her while others were undressing her with their eyes. I often told them to stop talking or looking at her like a prize to be had but they would start up again as soon as I left the room.

I was worried about her as we had been getting rumors that the rebels were planning something, what we didn't know. Though I had a feeling that people in this building were a target, well I always got that feeling when we heard rumors about security breaches. But also Louisa was running late which wasn't her, this made me worry. Sure we had people come in late all the time and I never worried about them but I worried about Louisa.

I must be stupid, worrying about a girl that most likely doesn't like me. I was after all second in command and her superior, which makes my attraction to her seem a little creepy. God, I need to stop thinking. I get myself worked up over nothing and I need to keep a calm and stern appearance at all times, or else others might get ency. So I have to wait for Louisa, while I wait though I make sure that everything is running smoothly and make calls either take action against people or not to.

It can be a hard job morally.

In Times of Darkness

Krissie got the sense that he thought her as weak. She wasn't, she just knew that there had to be a healthy dose of fear for every situation. Fear kept you from walking off the edge of a mountain and doing really dumb stuff. But she let that slide, she wasnt going to argue about her abilities.

When Feris mentioned that his mentor was his father, she raised an eye brow. His father was well known among the Guardians and elves as well. He was lucky to have been mentored from a young age, she only spent a few short years learning things that took a life time to truly master. But she noticed that he looked like he didnt care, that he most likely didnt want to be here.

"I know I wouldnt be here if my mentor thought i couldnt handle it. I am just thinking there is safety in numbers." She said softly as she looked at Feris with her voilet eyes. She thought he was alright looking for an elf, but his hair was short which showed that he was likely rebelious.

When she was younger she spent a good deal with the elves as her mother wanted her to get to know her people. But then something happened, she wasnt sure at the time since she was so young. But now she believed that they cast her mother out because she chose to love a human.

Needless to say she didnt belong in either race. She had to keep her head up and make it known that she would not let anyone talk down to her. She wasnt a door mat. That was why she wanted to be a Guardian, she wanted to prove she was worthy.

"You are lucky to have such a mentor, many would kill for that." She said as she made her way deeper into the forest. Already the light from where they came in was gone, and it was now a strange half dark half light. She knew the dragons never stayed close to the edge of the forest.

"We should find a water source and make camp." She said looking back at Feris and smiling slightly. She was told that the closest water source was a little more then half a days journey in. So it would be close to dark by the time they get there.

Don't be afraid to throw in plot twists or "control" my character in some way to help move things along :-)

In Times of Darkness

Krissie watched as the elf Feris walked into the forest, he almost completely disappeared and he wasnt even in all that far. She stood there for a moment wondering if her legs would move at all. Finally after some will power she jogged into the forest to catch up with Feris.

Even though this forest was home to the dragons, it was also home to other creatures. Some that were good, other bad and some that could be either. She did not want to be alone, not went her mentor told her stories of finding a few of his companions dead. This forest was a test and if you failed, you died.

The forest was thick and every tree and shrub seemed vary close togethers. The moment she stepped into the woods she felt like she was being watched, by who she did not know. She listened for a moment before picking up the sound of Feris soft foot steps. They were so soft infact that she nearly missed them.

Krissie wasted no time and hurried in the direction she heard the foot falls. She soon came up behind Feris, which was a releaf since she wasnt sure if she would find him.

"So.... um... maybe we should stick together..... since, um, the forest isnt all too safe." She said just loud enough for him to hear. She felt like an idiot as she fumbled over her words and made herself sound weak and scared.

She wasnt weak and she wasnt scared, she just felt uneasy about the forest. As its aura was that of shadow, she learned not to trust the shadows.

"So tell me about yourself Feris." She said with a light smile, she figured since she would be tagging along with him that she might as well get to know him a little bit. Plus she needed a small distraction from the thought she was having about shadows.

In Times of Darkness

There was little choice for Krissie when a Guardian recruited her. Well she had a few choices but she already knew that she want3d to be a Guardian. She use to dream about dragons and flying high in the never ending sky, plus it didnt help that her mother told her stories of old battles and great Guardians. The thought of her mother pained her slightly. She missed her dearly but knew she would be proud of the path she had chosen.

Her mothers died two years earlier leaving her with her human father. He was a good man but his work took to all parts of Thresh, so she was alone.

"We are almost to the forest." Yelled Duni, her mentor. They were riding his dragon to Delbrik Forest though after getting there, she and whoever else, would have to go in alone. It was so they could truly search with asking a ton of question or look for guidance from their mentor.

Krissie had been with her mentor for about six months, and during those months he had been training her in the arts of magic, stealth, and weaponry. That was until he thought she was ready to search for her dragon in the ancient forest.

On the horizon she could see and ocean of green and knew at once that it was the fabled Delbrik Forest. She suddenly felt unsure of herself, what if she couldnt find her dragon? Or what if the dragons thought she was unworthy of being a Guardian? She didn't know what was worse.

Soon though she was standing infront of a mass of tangled and massive trees. She had never seen trees so big before, they were taller than Hirsin, that was her mentors dragon, and almost twice his wing span thick. She tried to peer deep into the forest but could only see a few meters in. It was like the forest itself wanted to keep its secrets. How was she ever going to find her dragon in there?

Just then she heard the flaps of giant wings and she look to see another Guardian landing to drop off his student. So she wasnt going alone.

In a way this releaved her, since she wouldnt have to face the unknown of the ancient forest on her own. She looked at the young male that was striding over and took notice that he was an elf. She bit her lip then, she always felt like an outsider because of her mixed race.

"Now you must trust your guts and remember the things that you learned. It can take take a few days to find your dragon, but when you do, do not fight the bound." Her mentor said calmly though the last part he said with a sternness that reminded her of him scoulding her.

She waved goodbye to her mentor as he mounted his dragon and flew away. She knew that she would see him again later, as her training would continue after she found her dragon. She looked at the young male elf and smiled, "I'm Krissie." She said before looking at the ominous dark forest infront of her. She was nervous but ready to find her dragon.
