"True, we do need to be a team. So I guess we just wait for him then."
"You're welcome Kai, but I wonder where Cliff is. He's late, and we need go get moving soon. If he isn't here in an hour, we will have to leave him behind."
Michael sat down at the table and ordered everyone a meal. "Better enjoy the food, because it might be a while before we see another town."
"We leave when cliff gets here. In the meantime, I'm going to catch something to eat. Hungry?"
"You are free to come along if you want, just make sure you are ready for the journey. Just waiting for Kai to get here. But where is Cliff? He might want to come with us, so if you see him, ask him if he wants to join us. I will wait for you here."
OOC: If you want to join, the only opening is the dark dragoon, but you will need to post your character's description for gamefreak103 to decide if you can join or not
Ok then Kai, make sure you are ready for the trip and meet me outside the gates at dawn.
"Are you sure you want to? Once you make your decision, there is no turning back."
Michael was bored, so he leaned against a tree and pulled out a hand-carved flute. He began to play, but stopped after a while. The flute was given to him by his father, but he and his father were never really on good terms. "Father always blamed me for mother's death. He never could let it go. I'm surprised he even gave me the flute, or the dragoon spirit. I used to hate him, but now, I actually miss him." He put the flute away and went back to town. As he opened his bag, Michael remembered he had not stocked up on supplies. He went to the shop and bought some potions and rations for the long road ahead. Michael couldn't shake the fact that something sinister was on the horizon, he wanted to make sure that he was well prepared for the journey, since it could be a long time before he sees another town, so he might as well be ready for anything. He finished his shopping and returned to the inn to eat and get some rest. Michael sat down to eat, as he finished his meal, he saw Kai walk in the room. "Hello Kai, how are you doing?" OOC: I know, kind of lengthy today
Off topic: What happened to the red eye dragoon? He signed up, but has been MIA Ever since. We still need the dark dragoon too. Off topic: What happened to the red eye dragoon?

Michael staggered back to his room. "Ugh, think I had one too many ales." For a few minutes, he had trouble with the key, but finally success, the lock opened and he opened the door. Michael flopped down on the bed and passed out. Michael staggered back to his room. "Ugh, think I had one too many ales."

Off topic: Doing a little editing are you, gamefreak? That's OK, the story makes a little more sense now.:) Felt like going back and changing some of the stuff I wrote, because I felt I was trying to make the story go too fast.
Michael left the village to explore his Dragoon powers more in depth. He transformed and flwe to the forest, stopping just outside. As he swung his mace in a wide arc, a wave of wind crushed the trees in front of him. He kept practicing his control of wind, firing balls of wind from his wings, calling forth a rose storm when the occasional tree fell towards him, and making a small tornado. After a while, he grew tired, and unable to hold the transformation, he reverted. "Whew, I'm beat. Guess I'll head back to the inn for some ales before I turn in for the night."
"You don't have to answer now, just think about the offer. If you decide to join forces, just come find me. I will be here in this town for another day before I move on, more than likely, you can find me at the inn. See ya."
"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. Just thought I sensed the Devine Dragoon. Had a weird dream last night about a man slaying the Devine Dragon. But from the looks of things here, it wasn't just a dream. Something evil is brewing, and we may be the only ones to stop it. What would you say to travelling together?"
"To be honest, you look better with the helmet on."
Michael tossed and turned in his sleep. That night he had a strange dream. He saw a mysterious man fighting a dragon, the dragon had the upper hand. Then suddenly the man drew his sword from the side of the dragon and slice at the dragon's neck. The man stood over his quarry's corpse, holding what looked like a dragoon spirit, but it was not like any he had seen. Then visions of burning villages, enslaved citizens, and thousands of bodies. Michael awakend suddenly, frightened by what he saw. "I don't know what I saw, if it was just a dream, or a glimpse of the future, but all the same, I need to be careful." As difficult as it was after the dream, Michael fell back asleep Off topic: I was wrong about the lightning dragoon too, gamefreak. It is violet, and not amethyst. Was thinking about gemstones, due to the name of my dragoon.
"Sounds like a tough responsibility to bear. Anyways, I am going to my room to sleep. Give my offer some consideration, though. I plan on asking the others if they want to travel with me. Nice talking with you. Good night." off topic: The Lightning Dragoon is Amethyst, I'm the Jade Dragoon, which is Wind.
"So your parents are dead too, huh?" Michael finished his ale. "Where do you plan to go from here? I will probably be in town for another day or two, then I will move on. If you aren't going anywhere in particular, we could journey together. After all, safety in numbers, right?"
"I never had a village to call home. Me and my father were always on the road. My mom died when I was born, so I never got to know her. My dad died recently, and in his dying breath, he gave me this jade stone. It started glowing, and then I got this power over wind. Still learning how to use it though." Michael took a swig out of the mug of ale in front of him. "So what happened to your village, Kai?"
"Nice to meet you Kai, I'm Michael." "Well, it is getting late, so if anybody wants to, we can talk further over a meal and some ale at the inn. I heading there now, bye."
