Age of Dragons

OOC: Now we need the other 2 to respond :/

 

OOC: Like this?

IC: John took off after the others, riding on top of Vento. How long will they go on chasing us? John was thinking.

 

OOC: Lolz just like that XD Now one more.

 

I wonder what's gonna happen next? thought chi as she rode on sora.
OOC: like this?

 

As they approached their dragons Rain had already got on his own. He awaited for the next destination for them to go.

OOC: Since I was a dumbass and totally missed your post, should we sorta just jump ahead (i.e go directly to our contractor) to catch up?

 

OOC: Yeah, sure. xD
But you are not a dumbass. >:

IC:
After flying for quite a long time, the two reached the heart of the Fire Region. Kaden shouted over to Rain, "Over there," she said, pointing to a castle-like structure, "That is our goal, it's the base of the chain of command for the Fire Region. Our employer will be waiting for us."
She directed Ravage up to the highest part of the castle, knowing Rain would follow her.

 

Rain followed Kaden down, he was intrigued by the contractor. Someone of such high standard hiring a bounty hunter. But with two of them Rain wondered if he would raise the bounty or split it. But Rain was wondering what importance the targets had if a high class man such as this needed help, or was it because he could not do it publicly. Rain continued to ponder even after landing.

 

Kaden landed as well. As they entered the tower at the high point, there was a long hallway, ending in large wooden doors. They were closed. Kaden stopped walking for a moment, then said, "Rain...if it looks like I start to go for my weapon, stop me."
After that, she continued to walk forward, and opened one of the doors with some trouble, thanks to her injured arm.

 

Rain watched Kaden, he wasn't sure what she meant. He came to the conclusion that she has some sort of history with the contractor. However, he would do as she asked.

 

Kaden walked forward, entering the room. It was well lit by various sized flames, and on the far side of the room was a large wooden desk and a chair. As they entered, a person stood up from behind the desk, also clad in armor. The person walked forward, then spoke.
"Tracyn...is the job done? the person said, their voice male.
"No. But we've located them. I came here to tell you that, and that I have decided to complete the job with a partner," Kaden said, gesturing to Rain. All three were in full armor, so no expressions could be read.
The man turned to Rain, and said, "I am General Dral Tracyn. You are now under my employment...as such, I will pay you equal to Tracyn's promised amount. I hope that sits well with you?"

 

Rain looked the third armour clad person up and down through his stationary helmet, admiring the high quality of his armour as he heard his offer. "Very well", Rain replied to the larger amount of money now being offered.

 

"Excellent," Dral responded. Turning his head back to Kaden, he said, "When do you plan to engage them?"
Kaden shifted slightly, trying to take the pressure of her armor off her shoulder. "Within the next day or so. It won't be hard to find them again now that our dragons know their scents," she replied.

Dral moved in front of his desk, and looked down slightly. "I see...and it would seem that your arm is lame."
Kaden nodded. "We ran into some trouble. But it is recovering."
"Perhaps it is. Yet I have no need of a lame bounty hunter that could possibly delay this job," Dral responded. He then looked at Rain. "Rain. Prove your worth as a bounty hunter. Kill Tracyn. Do so, and should you succeed on the job, you will recieve both your and Tracyn's payment."

 

Rain looked at Dral through his helmet then turned his head to look at Kaden. "I deem it unnecessary, considering her dragon has no injuries", he replied sounding cold as steel. The offer of money would not persuade Rain over the chance of observing the powers of a light and a dark dragon battle. Although, Rain had more faith in his dragon.

 

"Her dragon has nothing to do with this. It will obey you, I assume you have spent enough time with Tracyn for that beast to trust you. Tracyn's injury, however, will hinder the job. The longer those children are alive, the more jepordized this becomes. Now, Rain," Dral said, standing to his full height, "Kill her."

Kaden stood in silence, watching both Rain and Dral.

 

"I already have a dragon", Rain replied. He didn't sound aggressive or cold this time, he simply sounded as if he had no use for Kaden's death or her seemingly superior dragon.

 

"Not that you would get it, just that you could command it in addition to your own. Alternately, I can supply a highly trained rider. Either way, consider that your ultimatum. Do it, Rain, and you will have more wealth than you could ever have imagined," Dral said.

 

Rain was silent for a moment. It wasn't clear if he was pondering on the money or something else. Without answering he drew his sword and pointed it at Dral. Challenging him to a dual.

 

OOC: Yea go ahead I don't blame you :P

BIC: Mya looked back to see if they were following and looked back forward. Hey Shia, why are you going faster? Shia looked side to side. The tailwind is getting stronger then expected. Mya nodded and yelled to the others. Pick up the speed! We're going to arrive sooner than usual!

 

Kaden saw what Rain was doing. "Rain...don't fight him. There's no way you can beat him, please trust me," she said. She knew how powerful Dral was, even growing up, he was far stronger than Kaden had ever been.

 

Rain kept his challenge on offer as he reached onto his back and grabbed his shield. After a moment of holding it, he handed it to Kaden, "Hold this", he said.
