The dragon she was traveling with was a ccurious sort sincce it had made himself smaller to eat. He even shot out steaming water which had been new to her. The dragons she fought were normally in their human like forms only because their dragon forms were not strong enough. It seemed that a lot of them were pretty young and that only the older ones were large as well as strong. So she assumed that Art was fairly old judgeing by his size and mastery over his abilities. After he had finished eating she had nodded in agreement tohim finding her vegetables, "You can call me Hope since it isn't my true name." She said after a moment since she didn't want to be called any of his pet names, "That is for two reasons," Her fingers brushed over the hilt of her sword as she continued, "I don't know my parents so that last name that I have I made up for myself and us magic users have a true name. One that we don't tell anyone else. That's the name that would give you power over me. I would not be so stupid as to give you, or anyone else, my true name." Her voice hadn't really held any emotion as she spoke since she was making herself keep her distance both physically and emotionly from this dragon.<br/><br/>She stood up since they had both finished eating, "I think we should go now. I don't want to spend any longer then I have to in this god forsaken place." Her tone basically said he had no choice in the matter since she was going to start to walk without him. She let him go ahead of her again and continued to scan the road and keep an eye on those strange creatures that had attacked them yesterday. Now that she could see in the dark she was able to study them better. Their heads were fairly small but inside were three rows of jagged teeth. It had a set of three eyes that wrapped around it head and it's body had no fur, just leathery skin. It had a small tail that was about the length of her middle finger. The only function she thought it could serve was for balance. It's legs were long and bent so that they could more easily climb. Their front two paws had five digits like that of a human so they had thumbs. Their back legs only had three but the claws were thicker and looked to be sharper. They gave her the creeps but the farther they went the less there were.<br/><br/>After about twenty minutes of silence between her and the dragon she started to feel a little out of place and was about to ask him about the other day when he stopped. He gave the signal for her to stay where she was and headed further ahead. After a couple of minutes he came back enough to tell her to follow. Soon she was at an opening and what she saw before her took her breath away. It was a whole abondoned city! She could hardly believe it as she looked around from her vantage point. The homes were artifully put together and looked to be made of some type of stone. Many of the buildings looked to be damaged and falling apart. She found  herself asking, "What is this place." Without even realizing it.
