<i>â??Beyond the Orange Fields, deep within the Elvin mazes, at the center of the Elderâ??s crystalâ?¦ there, will you find the first shardâ?¦This journey shall be more than just one alone, so you shall travel together.â?</i><br/><br/>At least, that was what the King of Darkness had told him. The blue-silver haired male narrowed his eyes as the sun began to set, making the fields and leaves glow the beautiful orange that they radiated. Unlike the â??otherâ?? group, ones he didnâ??t know were traveling closer towards the center of the Orange Fields, his own little â??groupâ?? was not as close as they were. Just a few hours ago, they had recently entered the tip of the fields, which meant that they would have to make camp and hunt for food later. It was, of course, every person by themselves, as he would not be hunting for them, nor expected them to hunt for him.<br/><br/>The King had sent him towards the West to retrieve the first known shard, and when he had mentioned about bringing a few men, he hadnâ??t expect to be given someone that wasnâ??t of low ranking. In his opinion, the commanding groupâ??s personalities outweighed their abilitiesâ?¦ in the negative direction. In the new worldâ??s ranking system and in the army of darknessâ??, he was their General, with the Drow being the Colonel, and the werewolf actually making it to Major. There was another person, that had been called a Captain before, but not many people talked about him; the Dragon.<br/><br/>Shaking his head free of the thoughts, he continued to trudge through the fields, wondering if they should rest at the moment or not. Withholding his sigh, Gandrian turned his gaze towards his companion; the single eye exposed staring at the Dragon like a dead gem that no longer glow the vibrant sea-green blue.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4080bf">â??Shall we rest, maâ??am?â?</span>he asked, tilting his head as if he was some gentleman offering a break. The night was nearing and they would have to hunt, eat, rest, and then get on their way again. His voice was sweet and innocentâ??far too innocentâ??like a childâ??s, and firm at the same time, like a teenager turning into a man.
