Aetheiria fluttered her eyes as she awoke, and watched as Fraener go from a blurred silhouette to a newly focused one. She managed a weak smile before she sat up. She held her head with her hand, still feeling the slight exhaustion from the fight previously,<span style="font-style: italic">I can't remember that last time I felt like this</span>she thought. She quickly remembered her wounds and took a moment to assess the damage, noticing with awe how her skin was clean. She looked at Fraener questioning and it wasn't long before he shared his memories from his mind to hers; she saw the man in the white suit with the prominent gold eyes and his explanation of where Fraener was and the healing events that took place on Aetheiria after. She met his eyes with surprise and said, "That's so interesting...and that's never happened before now?" She watched as he shook his head and she continued, "I wonder how..." though she was cut of as the red dragon elder made his way through the cave hole, his spikey face not a sight for sore eyes. She excused her un-dragon form with dismay though he dismissed it and began to start a conversation with Fraener and herself,<span style="font-style: italic">I see you have recovered remarkably, with help from the white dragons as Fraener has told me. Take this as a gift Aetheiria.</span>She nodded and began explaining Malik's incredible strength as well as her own disappointment in herself and he said,<span style="font-style: italic">Do not assume you did anything wrong young one. Malik's powers and strength have grown at an accelerated rate; and though this is not uncommon he was using it for the wrong reasons. This isn't the first time he has caused issues.</span>The conversation ended shortly after, with the Elder wishing them farewell and a smooth recovery.<br/><br/>Aetheiria and Fraener were awkwardly silent, without a conversation to uphold. As they were sitting, a young red headed girl made her way into the cave, and Aetheiria watched as Fraener's eyes widened with surprise. She approached Fraener and sat sideways sexily on his lap. She got close to his face, running her fingers threw his hair, she was lightly purring as she moved her mouth to his neck and in a husky voice she said, "I'm glad you're okay." and she began kissing the delicate side of his neck. Aetheiria hid her disgust and anger, instead quietly getting up; unsteadily at first. She began making her way out and turned her head back in Fraener's direction and said, "Don't let anyone find out." before walking out. She made sure to send him thoughts to not follow her and that she was fine alone; though she didn't specify whether she meant physically or emotionally.<br/><br/>Aetheiria made it outside, noticing how the sun was still low in the sky, signifying an early start to her day. She made her way to a cave a few meters away and awaited for a meeting inside to subside. It wasn't long before a group of dragons dispersed from inside and Aetheiria made her way inside. She approached a smaller female higher ranking dragon. She was a vibrant blue with a soft gold underbelly that matched her eyes. Her head was narrow, the horns on her head standing straight up, her wings folded in. Aetheiria approached her softly, and they slightly rubbed their heads together in a warming embrace,<span style="font-style: italic">Hello mother</span>she said to the blue dragon. They laid down across from each other, beginning to discuss the previous day, brainstorming. Aetheiria began explaining her desire to leave the area for any type of mission. The blue dragon, Adelinde, responded saying,<span style="font-style: italic">Are you sure of this?</span>She responded with a nod and Adelinde continued,<span style="font-style: italic">I will inform you and Fraener of what we have. No rush.</span>Aetheiria agreed though kept her frustration hidden, with the thought of Fraener going with her,<span style="font-style: italic">I wonder how that will turn out</span>she thought. She explained her desire to be alone and with that she left the cave they had resided in.<br/><br/>Aetheiria made it outside and immediately took flight. She made her way to a near secluded area, though it contained several dragons. She landed on a low mountain, one that lacked snow along the tops. The grass felt soft against her large feet; she laid on her side, feeling the grass now run along her belly and her head. She looked out and down, watching the trees in the distance move with the wind. There were several small lakes, casting a want to swim for her. She was happy to bathe in the sun above her and took the oppotunity to take a short nap, listening to the clashing of swords and fire breathing in the distance.<br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://www.google.com/imgres?start=85&amp;num=10&amp;um=1&amp;hl=en&amp;rlz=1C1SKPC_enUS335US354&amp;biw=1366&amp;bih=653&amp;addh=36&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbnid=IFzrrx6ATJqY6M:&amp;imgrefurl=http://www.comicvine.com/myvine/tiferia_hystorm/dragon-breeds-within-tiferias-universe/87-75896/&amp;docid=2MGIYdw3k1kezM&amp;imgurl=http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/10/100436/2110188-blue_dragon_by_benwootten.jpg&amp;w=742&amp;h=555&amp;ei=ivOhT4rgPMahtwe7uqCiDQ&amp;zoom=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=772&amp;vpy=114&amp;dur=234&amp;hovh=194&amp;hovw=260&amp;tx=111&amp;ty=98&amp;sig=108323566483394585922&amp;page=4&amp;tbnh=140&amp;tbnw=187&amp;ndsp=31&amp;ved=1t:429,r:4,s:85,i:13">Blue Dragon</a><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=N&amp;rlz=1C1SKPC_enUS335US354&amp;biw=1366&amp;bih=653&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbnid=LoTftUU-gfI0_M:&amp;imgrefurl=http://www.public-domain-image.com/nature-landscapes-public-domain-images-pictures/valley-public-domain-images-pictures/mountain-valley-and-lakes.jpg.html&amp;docid=BIA_OMW2QIa_iM&amp;imgurl=http://www.public-domain-image.com/cache/nature-landscapes-public-domain-images-pictures/valley-public-domain-images-pictures/mountain-valley-and-lakes_w725_h483.jpg&amp;w=725&amp;h=483&amp;ei=auahT4-RCYGw8ATH4-WCCQ&amp;zoom=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=1058&amp;vpy=63&amp;dur=349&amp;hovh=139&amp;hovw=193&amp;tx=158&amp;ty=98&amp;sig=108323566483394585922&amp;page=1&amp;tbnh=128&amp;tbnw=172&amp;start=0&amp;ndsp=18&amp;ved=1t:429,r:5,s:0,i:146">Mountain Valley</a>
