Errant Soul

[Angela]

Surprisingly, the girl didn't seem startled by the mental contact, and even more surprisingly, she replied back across the same mind-link that the dragon had established, "Two days journey on foot east of here is what they call here a game reserve, there is enough food there to sustain a dragon of your size for some time. But as you seem to need food sooner, there is a cattle farm just north of the city, be careful though, the owner doesn't much like it when one hunts his herd." To further assist the dragon, a series of images was passed through the mind-link, showing the dragon how to find these places. Almost as a second thought, another quick message was fired along the link, "If you need to eat first, please do, but at some point, I have some questions for you." No one but the girl and the dragon being aware that the exchange took place at all.

To a dragon's heightened senses, and perhaps to the wolfdemon's as well, something just seemed different about this girl, mainly in that, although she smelled similar to a human, something was different...but no one could quite place what that was.

No need for the disguise then. he thought, blinking as the wrappings and mask over his pale face suddenly tore as though an invisible force had shredded them from the inside. One hand shot back quickly, brushing the hood away from his head as two furred ears lengthened and shifted to the sides to allow a pair of curved horns room when they projected from his skull. His ragged clothes shifted as well, dropping into a longer black robe rimmed in gold and red that was open halfway down his back to allow his wings greater freedom.

"Much better." he growled, dusting his clawed hands off and glancing at a full-length mirror that formed from the metal bars of the cage for a split second before sealing up again. His face had now lengthened, taking on the appearance of a grey wolf with several traces of black-scaled ridges crossing around his eyes in tight bands.

KF looked rapidly around, looking confused. "Did you just....hear....that?" he asked the girl. Scratching his head he looked at the dragon. "No......" grabbing his communicator and hitting the button he said "Hey....ummm....Raven? I kinda need you here....there's something here that....well, fits your area of expertise. There's a dragon talking in my head asking where it can hunt."

[Angela]

The girl reached over and placed a reassuring hand on Kid Flash's shoulder, "Calm down, most dragons are somewhat telepathic, it's how they make up for not being able to speak human languages." Looking at the confused expression on his face, she tried to reassure him, "And you don't have anything to worry about, she's just hungry."

Dropping her hand from the speedsters shoulder, she turned to face the wolf-man, taking in the now clear appearance of the demon, she thought silently, 'I knew he had some level of morphing magic on him...but I didn't think it was that much.......he's good.' Not really knowing what to say, she proceeded to improvise, "Well, now that we've all seen some really strange things for the day, anyone else have any strange secrets they're gonna pop out?"

Ria was supprised that the girl didn't jolt or evan try to put up defences when the link was made, most humans would send automatic defences up, because that was the reflex of the brain that wanted to protect itself. The other human seemed to shocked for any kind of defence, Ria could tell that he didn't completly believe he had heard Ria. His train of thoughts were way too fast for Ria, it almost overwhelmed her, so she broke the link to brightly dressed male human, Her attention now fully on the girl. Ria wasn't sure that this girl was human. Her smell was slightly different, and her lack of surprise only added to Ria's suspitions. "I can hunt after your questions. I am not yet that weak." Ria told the girl. Ria then stretched her wings, that when she was in her normal form was a span of 12 feet, but now was a span of 30 feet. Ybab was disterbed again, and Ria rumdled deep in her throught to sooth the glider. Ybab quieted, then crawled to the top of Ria's head, sniffing and learning her surroundings. It looked as if the glider would jump, but she just stayed there for a few seconds, then went back to where the wings would fold over her when Ria put them back. Ria never folder her wings completly, as the sun felt good on her hide.

Angela nodded, then 'thought' back, "I was wondering if you had ever encountered another dragon, male, red, and about twice your size."

[Kid Flash]

"Uh....excuse me but.....it would be a bit of a hindrance if you were to hunt anybody's livelyhood. I'm sure there's some way we could help you out if you could wait for some of my friends to show up. Raven's good with the mystiucal arts....which I'm not."

[Dragon Heart]

" This is all I have seen that is of that description..." Ria then conjured up a memory of a telapathic vision that had been given to her, the vision she now was sharing for the first time, was as claer as it had been on the night she had gotten it, however that was not very clear. The dragon had tried to tell her something, but the link had been broken just as the alarms had went off at the facility she had been made in. After giving the girl the information she sent a feeling of hope to the girl, as she seemed to realy want that dragon. Ria then nodded to the fast thinker, not wanting to make mental contact again.

[Angela]

A moment passed as the girl paused, a slight smile crossing her face, then she shot back a single image, one of a great crimson dragon, wings spread in flight, and a torrent of flame roaring from his mouth. One last little bit that could be noticed, is that in the image, one could see the girl, dressed in metallic armor and weilding a slender, elegant sword, riding astride the dragon's back, seated just behind the dragon's front legs...a name associated with the image: Eridor.

[Dragon Heart]

A shiver played across Ria's skin. He was a full dragon, and a handsome dragon too. The name came, but the thing that got Ria was the girl riding the dragon. "is that you? she asked.

[Angela]

"Yeah, that little scene is from a while ago...I lost contact with him over a year ago." came the reply, the mental voice sounding a little sad.

[Kid Flash]

"Umm.....hello?" KF said looking between the dragon and the girl. He had been watching the in silence for some time, seeming as if he was being ignored. "My question really wasn't answered."

[Angela]

The girl looked back at him, pausing for a moment...then abruptly remembering that people typically weren't used to a telepathic conversation, she nodded, "S-sorry about that...we kind of got a little off topic, what was your question again? Do I hear her talking, or about her waiting for your friends to show up."

((doh, posted under the wrong account first try))

[JYE]

*a black shadow with cold icy wind blew past the dragon and angela, then stop behind of kid flash, * hey Kid flash! * shouting the stunned KF from behind,* Raven got somthing at the tower, she can't be here in time, by the way, what. H..Ha..Pe..ned....* stare at the creatures, * err, how they get here? * Her face is pale grey like Raven's skin colour, but not any more paler than Kid Flash's as the <hey kid flash > had stun him more..*

[Dragon Heart]

Ria looked at the fast thinker, thinking that she had given him a nod of agreement, maybe he had missed it. She still didn't want to go into his mind again, so she told the girl to tell him that she would wait. Ria paid no attention to the new comer, as she was increasingly hungry now.
