#xdragonsofavaloria

" i have never been anywhere else," Chaos murmured as he emerged from the shadows. "Oh, to have a domain as beautiful as Avaloria." He gestured around the garden with a rather wide smile on his features. "I am surprised your guards would let me through, but I understand. We dragons must stick together."

Bo packed his bag and began his journey the next day. He left a note for those he cared about, finding it easier to get away alone that way. And he traveled for over two weeks, following the vague directions given to him by the crone, to come upon a cabin that looked promising. He hoped he could convince this retired hero to take up arms again. He walked up to the porch, climbed the stairs, and knocked on the thick wooden door. Then he waited nervously, unsure of what to expect.

The dragon growled, his scales rising like hackles. “My dear, I am 5 billion years old. In my prime, I could rip planets apart.”

The woman sputtered and stepped forward, hands motioning frantically. “N-no, you don’t need to move! I-I’ll be right back, I swear, just.. stay still.” She said and hurriedly ran off, returning again only an hour or so later, carrying a bag that seemed quite full. Smells of herbs and spices permeated the satchel she had with her, medicine and salves. She did hesitate, unsure if the dragon would even let her close enough to use the salves and balms. “May I?.. I brought a few things to help you heal up faster.. I’ll have to clean the wounds and that’ll hurt, but the balms will sooth it.”

Wordlessly, when her attention was caught, she held the basket up, her gaze curious and uncertain. She definitely required assistance on this one.

“There HAS to be a crime against having five exams in one week. I feel like I have BAGS under my eyes.”

Her face fell when she seen something raise its head... A... Dragon... She thought as it growled. Taking a step back, it spoke in a tongue she did not know. She tried to speak a couple times, but her words got stuck in her throat. "I.. Uh.. I.. You're a dragon." She has heard about dragons, never seen them.

Elise pulled on a clean blouse, buttoning it up as she talked, apparently not to bothered, he’d really only seen her back anyway and other than the large tattoo covering it, it’s not a big deal. Or at least that’s what she’d thought, Nikolaj had probably even seen her from the side as he walked by.  “Write down what you used and how much, then put them back where they belong. I have fair bit of herbs drying in the attic so I can probably refill a lot of them already.”
