Most were harmless enough objects, more a cause for annoyance than harm if they landed on the deck or collided with a crew member. But then he noticed a man dashing along the docks and nearing the pier they were rapidly pulling away from, or rather he noted the flaming torch in the man's hand.<br/><br/>Aramis quickly steadied himself in the rigging and pulled his bow from off his back and quickly notched an arrow, before he loosed it though he saw a shadow pass over the man he was targeting. The man suddenly gave a shriek and dove of the dock, torch still in hand. He wondered what had just happened that scared the man. There was no way he had seen Aramis with his drawn bow, right?<br/><br/>Then Aramis saw the movement in the corner of his eye and when he turned, his jaw simply gaped in amazement, no words came from his lips as none could voice his awe at what he was seeing. First one of the Emissaries was aboard this vessel and had asked<em>Him</em>of all Draishok to accompany her craft. Now another creature from legend had reared it's head and revealed itself to be more than myth.<br/><br/>The majestic creature seemed smaller than the creatures of lore he had heard tell of in the ancient scrolls, perhaps their size had been exaggerated over time, this was a younger specimen? That thought had Aramis suddenly scanning the skies again, wondering how long they stayed with their parents or how many they traveled with. He knew in the seas there were great predators of both a solitary and social nature alike.<br/><br/>He breathed a sigh of relief as he did not see any other dragons in the sky, nor did the dragon circling appear to be in an overly aggressive move. It had a gleam in it's eye as it passed over the Rising Sun's sails that he identified with as more of curiosity than that of a beast on the prowl for prey. At least he prayed to the gods that that gleam meant the same above the ocean as it did below.
