[i]she opens her wings and takes off without wasting any time. She flies south quickly gaining altitude its not long until she reaches open ocean. she flying on pure instinct heading towards the island. It take almost all day every once and it now night. The only light that is seen is the soft glow from her scales[/i]
"We're almost there it just a bit further"says lola
[i]she was growing tired but she knew they getting close she could sense this. After what seemed like a few more hours she starts flying into a huge fogbank but all you can see is sharp jagged rocks off to each side. which make it seem gloomy and depressing but their a silence to the air. Then there almost like that lola reaches a point where a seam appears in front of her out of nowhere. [/i]
We're here welcome to mirror mirror"says lola
[i]she flies through and the seam closes behind her. But what you see what is a subtropical island . Its beautiful and taking. Beneath is a small town with townspeople that are pointing at them. What they are saying can't be heard. But lola gonna have to land at some point but not here she flies a little farther until she reaches a small clearing in the dense forest and flies downward landing in a small village some people start to gather.[/i]
"I can fly no more i must rest"says lola
[i]"lola is that you?"says a female voice
Lola turns her head to see a small woman walking up to them[/i]
"Miss tilly??"says lola
"Yes its me but why are you here and who is the outsider?"says tilly

"Take a breather. I'll be back." [b]Royal hopped off Lola, landing on the ground with a thud. He inspected the map once more [/b]

Edited by NightBloomsFell: 11/27/2016 4:56:00 AM"Dont wander to far there's feral dragons in this forest that can eat you"says lola [i]she is breathing heavily as tilly pat her side.[/i] "Its hovark and willow is gone tilly"says lola "Hmm i see then that means..."says tilly "Yes but something happened to hovark"says lola "Not good at all"says tilly [i]tilly notices how tired lola is.[/i] "When the last time you to stopped?"asks tilly "Never did flew nonstop to get here"says lola "Well change back and you can rest at my home. That goes for you too young man"says tilly [i]tilly was much older than hovark but she well respected by the whole village. Lola changes back but she is exhausted from flying nonstop. Tilly is much shorter than lola but she had stern look about her. Tilly starts walking lola follows. She stops and looks at him[/i] "Come young man you can look at that in my home and you can eat cause i have supper ready then you can do whatever after you rest. "says tilly [i]she starts walking again going up the path[/i] "I won't take no for answer either"says tilly
-
"I-" [b]Royal sighs, reluctantly following Tilly [/b]
-
[i]tilly leads them to her house which a lot bigger than first thought. She opens the door she leads them to kitchen which is pretty big but she walks up a step stool lola sits at the table that when a large man walks in and sees lola then looks at him. Tilly is pulling bowls out the cupboard. She has something cookin on the stove.[/i] "Hi lola long time no see"he says "It is but nice to see you again Hagar"says Lola "Who is he lola"says Hagar "He's a friend hovark is in trouble"says lola "Its that sword isn't it...well tell you what eat and rest tonight then in the morning we'll head there."says hagar [i]as they talking tilly dishes out stew giving some to everyone and puts bread cheese on the table then two jugs. one with mulled cider the other water.[/i] "Well he the one that made the chest that seals that sword and hid so enough talk for now eat up there plenty"says lola [i]lola starts eating some the stew while tilly was talking. She was absolutely starving cause she hasn't eaten all day.[/i]
-
[b]Royal wasn't one for eating around other people... He'd been pretty solitary after Yuria disappeared and he wanted to keep it that way. Reluctantly, he had the stew, eating it with Bread on the side [/b]
-
[i]after they finished eating hagar clears his throat.[/i] "Just so you know me and tilly are friends of hovark our children grew up with his and one of our sons lives at the dojo. But i will show you the path were gonna take to get there."says Hagar "Lola lets get you to bed before you fall asleep right here"says tilly [i]Lola leaves with tilly to go to bed. Hargar pulls out a much more detailed map of the area. His moves his empty bowl out of way and opens it[/i] "Well this is where we are and this we need to get too it will take two days to get there on foot"says hagar [i]with his finger he taps a spot on the map then trace a route through that show they would cross a swamp and then mountains to get to it which looks like its gonna be tricky.[/i]
-
"Is there a way I could get us there faster? Maybe create a shadow portal?"
-
[i]hagar runs a hand through his greying black hair as he thinks a moment looking at the map.[/i] "Hmm you probably could but you might just anger it if you open a portal directly to where the chest is. Cause we have a beast that guards that sword so that nobody can just walk in and take it."says hargar [i]hargar taps a spot on the map that close where chest is.[/i] "If you open a portal here it might but then there the problem of that creature that there guarding its ancient. but its rumored to let someone pass if their a member hayes clan so its a good thing she came with you."says hagar [i]he thinks about the creature he only ever seen once but that was a distance but it was enough. he shudders when he remembers how it stared at him.[/i] "The creature happened to be something that use to stalk hovark's dead wife i still dont know why. But the troubling thing is that lola bears a uncanny resemblance to their mother aurora so this might be a problem. But we could use this to our advantage cause then we don't have to kill it"says hargar
-
"We don't have to kill it... We just need Lola to be brave."
-
"Yeah she should be fine as long as she stays calm"says Hagar [i]hagar glances at clock on the wall and its late[/i] "Well its getting kinda of late you should go and rest tilly should have other guest room ready."says Hagar [i]with that tilly enters the room again.[/i] "Ah speak of the devil, tilly can you show where the guest room is"says hagar "Yes i can"says tilly [i]she turns and gestures for him to follow her. [/i]
-
[b]Royal follows her, looking around as he does so [/b]
-
[i]as he looks around there a lot of different pictures hanging in the hallway along with some different types of maps hanging on the wall some look very ancient and look like the could crumble to dust if touched.[/i] "Yeah our family and hovark's go way back. but me and Hagar have raised more kids than him cause a lot kids around these part especially from the towns get abandoned in the woods. So a lot pictures you see happen to have a lot of our adopted kids in them some aren't even dragons."says tilly [i]she stops when comes to very big picture frame and it shows 15 different kids all mixed together standing around tilly and Hagar. All them are different ages some are dragons and some aren't at all. But after a bit she keeps walking then finally stop a room. She then turns knob and opens the door. Inside the room is fairly room but big. There's a bed in corner on the wall. here's also a desk on the opposite wall . But the veiw from window was facing a small little creek. The room is lit by strange glowing mushrooms that are growing on the ceiling bathing the room in a soft white light. [/i] "Well here the room the bathroom is on the left and if you need anything just shout."says tilly [i]with that tilly leaves heading back down the hallway back towards the kitchen to clean up before going to bed herself. [/i]

Edited by Royal Blade: 11/29/2016 1:34:37 AM[b]Royal sighs [/b] "Great. Old lady's house, with Lola next door and a threatening man that looks like he could eat me. This should be fun. [b]He drops his sword on the ground and looks for Lola's room [/b]
-
[i]lola is fast asleep is the room next to the bathroom so she has no idea he looking for her at the moment. But at the end of the hallway is their room. But lola always sleeps with door open though.[/i]
-
[b]Royal knocks lightly, peaking inside and seeing her asleep. [/b] "Uh this is stupid." [b]He reaches into some shadows, pulling out a letter. He enters the room, slowly and quietly, setting the envelope down on the nightstand before slowly leaving [/b]
-
Edited by NightBloomsFell: 11/29/2016 2:22:02 AM[i]she opens her eyes when he sets down the letter she had woken up when he had knocked on the door. She is looking right at him and she sits up.[/i] "What are you doing its not wise to go out at night around here"says lola [i]lola grew up on this island there was all sorts of creatures that lurked at night that could easily kill. Lola knew those dangers very well cause she seen people go missing if they went out at night. But they always found the bodies completely shredded and torn part.[/i] "Its not safe dont out there please wait till morning"says lola
-
"Yeah, sorry" [b]He backed out of the door, breathing a sigh of relief as he jogged to his room, the letter still on the stand [/b]
-
[i]Lola stared out the window of her room look out at forest and listens to all the strange cries that echoed through the night. It was soothing to know that island had pretty much remained unchanged. This place was home to alot of dragons and some were more feral than others so it was ones places you had to fight to survive. But that what made a lot people such strong fighters. As tired as she was her thoughts were on her father which made it hard for her fall asleep cause she had already lost one of parents she didn't want tonlose her father. after a while she sighs and looks at letter on the nightstand and picks it up opening to read it. [/i]
-
[i]"Lola, I attacked you for the information regarding the sword. I am deeply sorry and offer only my sincerest apologies. I just wanted to save Hovark... Apologies, Royal" [/i]
-
[i]she puts letter down after reading it. She more than anything wants to save her father. She yawns she is still very tired so she lays back down cause she knows tomorrow is going to be very long trying day. She drifts back to sleep and she doesn't wake again until she feels the warm suns rays on her face. She wakes up and stretches then walks down the hallway to the kitchen. When she gets there tilly is cooking breakfast for everyone. She turns and smiles when lola walk in. Tilly has several different pans on the stove cooking bacon, sausage eggs and fried potato. The eggs she's using are from a rare breed of giant chicken that the village raises that lays eggs the size of a soccer ball. [/i] "Good morning lola you sleep well"says tilly "Yeah i did and that smells great tilly"says lola "Well breakfast is almost ready you wont have to wait long"says tilly
-
[b]Royal wasn't sleeping, in fact he was simply sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, meditating. He opened his eyes when morning came, preparing for himself the day ahead. He got up, putting his sword back over his back and leaving the room [/b]
-
[i]lola was helping tilly in the kitchen when he came out the room hagar was walking into the kitchen when he came out. Both tilly and lola had set up everything out on the table. [/i]
-
"Smells quite good ladies."
-
"Thanks Lola helped and please help yourself there plenty"says tilly [i]they had set out the bacon sausage together on a plate. They had a big plate piled with eggs then one the potatoes. They had coffee pot setting on a oven mitt then a stack of toast and homemade. [/i] "Your welcome"says lola [i]lola , tilly and Hagar set down at the table . They all start to put food on there plates then they start to eat.[/i]
-
[b]Royal takes a seat as well, buttering up a piece of toast and biting into it [/b]
