Becoming rather impatient, Kyra sat down in the middle of the trail. She watched as the others socialized with each other, the wolf anithrope tugging Black and Drake off  to the side. He spoke with them for a moment and then Drake snarled something before stomping off to chat with Skippy.<br/><br/>Groog sat quietly on the dragons back, hugging her neck so as not to slip backwards. He rested himself on her shoulder blades, which were two small lumps on her scaly back, but they were enough to help keep himself mounted.<br/><br/>The young red dragon sat there stubbornly for many minutes before she relaxed and let her mind wander about the recent events that lead her to be in this odd situation. She had spent years searching for a higher class Master, her having been a Basic Defense Master. He taught her the basic spells to which she would be able to build upon to learn more complex defensive spells. She learned them solidly, and surpassed her Master. After years of searching, she heard about one, very strict and wise Defense Magic Master that lived in the capital of Almerkia. As she was going to make her way there, having had her request to visit accepted, she stumbled across an odd group of travelers in the forest.<br/><br/>At first she did not know they were traveling, she merely spotted a cottage in a clearing. She had heard that some Masters prefer to be isolated in nature so she landed to see if this might be a home to one. But she soon found a variety of creatures that were traveling together. She heard they were on their way to the capital and decided to travel with them. She picked up Groog along the way, after becoming a Goblin Queen, but leaving their territory and the other goblins behind.<br/><br/>And now they were here, where the group expanded with the addition of a wolf anithrope and a very grand dragon. So her original purpose for going to the city was to seek out a Master. She had taken quite a liking to the party of travelers, but she still wanted dearly to learn higher magic. Kyralae questioned herself on whether to leave now while the others weren't bothering to pay her any attention, or if she should wait and politely excuse herself from the group after they had eaten.<br/><br/>She looked once again to the social group and made up her mind on what she would do. The red dragon moved to rest on her belly and patiently waited. She even spread her wings out a bit to soak in the sun, as she was still reptilian and preferred a warm body, though it was not as much of a necessity to her as to other reptiles.
