[u]The Glade, 59.46 km southeast of the Dojo, 2:57 AM[/u]
In the woods several clicks from the Dojo, a loud racket could be heard as a heavily clothed figure ran from an angry hydra. The hooded figure ran, struggling to breathe as he had been running so long. The hydra was catching up, taking snaps at him with several of it's heads. The figure was running towards a small cliff, about 27 ft from ledge to ground. He jumped, hoping to escape the hydra, thinking it would give up. He hit the ground, grunting angrily as pain jerked up his leg from his ankle. He had landed on it wrong... He continued running as he heard what seemed to make him forget the pain in his leg, the hydra had jumped after him. The loud crash of it knocking down several trees could be heard from a distance. The figure screamed in pain as he tripped on a root and twisted his ankle, already hurt from the fall.

[b]A child ran over, very fast. He wore a dusky gi, and a long-sleeved shirt. His skin was pitch black, as was his hair. His skin had green streaks that went through it, like lightning. He also had a tail. A monkey's tail.[/b] "Are you okay?!"
-
Maybe... probably not.. my leg hurts like crap and there's, well.. that.. *he points to the hydra*
-
"Eh that'll be fine." [b]He shoots a blue beam of Ki at it.[/b] "We should get you some help."
-
y-yeah.. h-help.. *he notices that the figure has the head of a dragon*
-
"Woah... You've got a lizard head! That's cool! Can you breathe fire and stuff?"
-
s-sadly n-no... i also dont have wings... ss-still got a ssnazzy tail though..
-
"Awww! That's not fun! What are you gonna use at range? Wait, you have a tail! I have a tail too!"
-
c-cool.. *is shivering as the temperature outside drops a little. without the ability to breathe fire, he has no internal way of generating heat*
-
[b]Celon notices this.[/b] "Hey, do you need a blanket or something? I can get one for you."
-
y-y-yeah.. t-that would b-be nice..
-
A screech fills the area as a large bird descends from the sky. The bird swoops down and then appears to launch a massive fireball towards the hydra before diving downwards towards the injured figure.
-
*the hydra recoils from the fire and flees* *the figure tries jerking his foot from his boot, which is stuck*
-
The large bird lands a few feet away from the figure and tilts its head at the figure after folding its wings inwards.
-
*the figure seemingly looks toward Nightingale. any direct detail is obscured by darkness*
-
Nightingale caws inquisitively. [i]"Are you alright?"[/i]
-
y-y-yeah... t-thankss for the help. *his voice is rather reptilian in nature*
-
[i]Hmm....[/i] Nightingale looks closer at the figure, and his eyes glow orange.
-
*the orange glow illuminates his dragon-like form. his head most certainly looked like it belonged to a dragon (a very sleek one at that, with seemingly no spikes. most of him is smooth). two medium sized horns are visible going up and back, downward and then forward, like a curl. his scales are a reflective black*
-
[i]Interesting...[/i]
-
uh-uhmm.. wh-who are y-you? *he's shaking. maybe out of fear, maybe out of exhaustion*
-
Edited by Nightingale: 11/3/2016 12:44:10 AM[i]I'm Nightingale, an Ahamkara. I won't harm you. You should get some rest while I go deal with that Hydra."[/i] Nightingale leaps over and gently moves the figure's foot away from the root and onto the ground. He then looks at his foot and a small fire ignites on all of his feathers.
-
(the hydra's gone, this is an intro, remember?) *he holds his knees to his chest shivering*
-
[spoiler]Right..[/spoiler] Nightingale leaps down and lands beside the cloaked figure. He tilts his head at him and caws.
-
S-ssorry for n-not talking much.. i g-get c-c-c-cold eassily..
-
Nightingale generates a fire next to him and the flames on his feathers grow larger.
