<div style="text-indent:1em;"><span style="color: violet">"So, if you're ready, we'll be off. Karo, you ready for a long flight?"</span> Karo looked at Damien like he was stupid. Probably thinking there was no way he was flying for 3 days without more food. <span style="color: violet">"Fine, fine, you go off and hunt for a while. I'll call you if we need you,"</span> Damien said to Karo, <span style="color: violet">"Well, there's only two ways I'll be able to show you to the waterfall, and one of them is riding with you, Aurora...It's up to you and Junari if you want that or the alternative..."</span></div><br/><div style="text-indent:1em;">Damien personally didn't want the alternative, for a few reasons. Yes, he'd miss out on riding with a princess, and quite a beauty at that, but also the only alternative at this point could be painful and exhausting for him. Damien didn't want to tell Aurora unless she asked, because the alternative to flying with those two was to allow Durnhviir to transform his body into Durnhviir's own, and basically give him control. The two are friends, so Damien didn't fear the release of control, but due to the nature of the bonding it would usually be a painful experience, having to sprout wings and a tail, and increasing to Durnhviir's size. Oh, and the fact that Durnhviir has yet to find a way to transform that won't destroy Damien's clothes. Up to this point when the transformation would take place, his armor would transform into scales, but any clothing was ripped to shreds. And Damien doubted the princess had looked upon many men before, so if her first time was with a stranger turning into a dragon, it might not....help....to have her watch. <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: violet">Durnhviir, isn't there some way to turn ALL of my clothes when we transform, and not just my armor? In case Junari does not want me riding with Aurora..</span></span> Damien was only answered with a rumbling, probably the equivalent of a "yeah, ok..." in the common tongue, and assumed Durnhviir had yet to find a way. <span style="color: violet"><span style="font-style: italic">I sure hope we don't have to go with the alternative...</span></span></div>
