Aella had a happy bounce to her step as she talked a mile a minute about all the visits they could have over the next summer and how they could learn from one another. She talked about how even though she was raised by a dragon, she didn't really know all that much about what dragons were like. She even rambled on a little about being a gryffin and having never met another one so she didn't even really know all that much about her own species. "We should go flying sometime." She concluded as she led her in following after her mother.<br/><br/><br/>Nate ran, deeper and deeper into the woods, the further he ran the darker it got. The sun tried to reach the ground between the canopy of leaves but did not get very far. He ran until it was no longer light enough to see where one was going, if you were human. But his eyes were far better and he kept going until he could run no more. He followed his ears and nose to a fresh water source and padded up to the stream to drink the cool water. Lapping until he heard a twig snap behind him and he spun quickly, hackles raised and snarling. But he soon saw that it was only Terra and he quit snarling but stayed low defensively ashe turned an ear her way. Intelligent eyes taking everg part of her in.<br/><br/><br/>Rick was one of the young men learning of creatures and how to rid them of the world so only humans remained. The fact that an older hunting group, the ones who led them the most, were scared of something in the forests around the tiny town they were now going to call home for the better part of the school year. But he was young and hungry to prove himself so he decided to take advantage of the license they helped him get and with a rifle headed out on foot to try finding a way to prove himself an asset to the group. He'd find and take down a beast alone. Except that now he was lost, mostly. He'd managed to find a beach, his heavy boots sinking into sand as he gazed out over open water reflecting the moon.<br/><br/><br/>(I'm so sorry it took so long. Life got complicated fast and stayed that way. I'm still struggling, but I'll come back and check more often. I'm also sorry if this is short. I have to use my mobile device.)
