Leanunya sat up and stretched, having woken at dawn. She looked over to the still sleeping Nagos and stood. She called out “Nagos get up. Let’s get going” Leanunya then started to get her stuff gathered to go including gathering the meat slices from the zarowl Nagos had killed the night before. Once she finished putting the meat in a bag she went to the still sleeping Nagos.
She scowled and unceremoniously kicked him off and out of the bed this time for sure waking him. She always did this if he didn’t wake the first time she called him to get up. She looked at him coldly as he sat up on the floor, a pouty look on his face. This look only made her even more irritated. She had discovered while training him what a disappointment he really was.
Nagos had hesitated his first kill and then continued to disappoint her. She had orig
Leanunya yawned, waking. They had been traveling for at least two weeks and should be arriving in Rynion tomorrow morning or by tonight. They had fairly nice weather as they had traveled. Although today was cloudy and looked like it was going to rain. If it rained they wouldn’t reach Rynion until tomorrow morning or even later. If it didn’t rain they would make it in this evening but she was unsure if she wanted that. Although the rain really couldn’t slow them down she disliked walking in the rain but would do so if necessary.She stood up and stretched out telling Nagos to get up. Leanunya gathered her stuffed and ate some jerky after she finished waiting for Nagos to finish getting his stuff gathered. This was another thing she disliked about Nagos. He was very messy. She knew he was still a child but he would take everything out of his bag just to grab his blanket to sleep. She
Leanunya talked with Drake til dawn, the rain having not stopped until well into the night long after Nagos and those others had fallen asleep. She knew she wouldn’t have slept anyway so she had stayed up with Drake. They had talked about many things but at the same time nothing. They both knew more than either chose to speak about or wanted to. They had spoken of nothing that could give away who they truly were or what they did as a living.They had talked about simple things. Fighting styles and journeys but never about the deaths or the tolls. They talked and began to know each other without truly knowing each other. Although, knowing one day they would meet again either as friends or enemies after they parted. They had long finished off the bottle of whiskey they had shared but they didn’t mind as they talked through the night just like two old pals would do.
Wolferan looked at the newest report and smiled. He finally had news about the silver eyed demon and it was a confirmed report. He stood his eyes like two Golden torches.He ordered a bag of supplies to be made as he went outside to wait. He started to pace once outside, being too impatient to wait much longer.Finally after a long while a servant brought him a bag of supplies. Wolferan grabbed the bag and with an impatient leap he flapped his black wings taking to the sky. He climbed high up into the sky heading for Rynion.He found it odd that he would get a report of the silver-eyed demon from the same city he had last seen her in. Although he was curious about this he was more concerned about catching her.He had to admit he was obsessed with
Leanunya walked along a dirt packed road headed for the capital city. She knew she was close and subconsciously picked up pace. She wanted to arrive before dark, if not sooner.She walked swiftly, soon arriving before the city gates. They were huge and dominaniring steel gates unlike the wooden city gates other cities had. After she paid the entrance fee she walked through the gates.The gates were several feet thick built for resisting against sieges. There were also several notches in the walls for archers. The capital city was built to be easy to defend but hard to attack. That also included the fact it was built on the edge of a cliff on the far end of the city.She looked around as she walked into the city going through the thick crowds of people. The place was packed with people and stores tr
She lashed her tail even as Wolferan neared her, his eyes on her and her dagger. She backed up as he approached. He had no weapons but considering his sharp claws on his hands he really didn’t need one. Neither did she but chose to use one. Leanunya also knew he had enough strength alone to be dangerous even without his claws. This was just her instinct telling her but she trusted her instincts.Leanunya backed up til she bumped into a wall and Wolferan attacked at that moment. She dropped to the side and lashed out with her dagger at his thigh. The dagger tore his pants but glanced off his dragon scales.Leanunya cursed and scrambled away just barely avoiding his attempt to grab her. She grit her teeth from the pain of her own movement but continued to move to get out of his grasp. She panted facing him once a distance away from him.
Before the fightWolferan had been staying in the capital for a week now waiting for the silver-eyed demon to arrive. He had finally caught word of her arrival and discovered her in the library. He went to the library and went in carefully.He went to the second floor and soon found her on the east side deeply immersed in reading a book. He crouched down and stalked closer. Once close enough he pounced but it seemed she noticed him and moved away just in the nick of time and seeing him she ran and jumped out the window nearby.He cursed at her getting away and ran jumping out the window. He spreads his wings taking flight chasing after her. He flew watching her from above ready to dive down to attack and capture her. When he saw her finally stop he dived down, attacking. He saw her try to get away but was a second too
Wolferan sighed as he picked up the now unconscious silver-eyed demon into his arms. He wasn’t feeling the pride he normally felt after catching his target. He felt frustrated and unnerved. Although he was smug about finally catching his target it was strained as he knew she was a Cattagon and it changed everything about his knowledge about her.It gave him the reason why she tried to kill the king and why she killed some nobles but at the same time it left him with far more questions. He sighed before taking to the air headed to his home to lock the silver-eyed demon up where he could get answers to all his questions.He flew swiftly, going home in deep thought. He had chased after the silver-eyed demon for years yet only now did he discover she was a Cattagon and not a cattrina. For so many years he had not once noticed. He hadn’t even
Leanunya grumbled trying to find a comfortable position to sleep in. She was having no luck due to her agonizingly painful broken wing and broken ribs. She was hungry as well but was only given water. A night had passed since she woke up in this dungeon she was trapped in and she had seen no way yet to escape.Of course she knew at one point or another a chance would show itself. For now she could only bear with the pain and hunger while waiting for her chance. She had no idea what Wolferan was up to but she hoped to find out this morning. But as fate would have it even after the sun had long risen she saw no signs of wolferan.Her prison cell was small with a small slit for fresh air and sunlight to enter. The slit though, was far too small to fit through. There were just barren stone walls, a couple of buckets, a blanket she could use if she got t
