Wandering Aimlessly [Open!]

[Alice><Desol]

The trees were spaced at relatively even intervals, letting the light shine through as green streaks every few feet. Vines curved their way up the tree trunks, adding more green to the already overwhelming color. Foliage covered the ground, green mostly with a scattering of flowers; blue, pink, orange, red, purple, and yellow. A large rock sat in the middle of a small clearing, where the sunlight shone freely through the gap in leaves overhead. It was here that a girl sat; she had blonde hair, down except for two small pigtails on the sides. Her dark eyes were hiding behind their lids, and her slim body was sprawled across the rock, soaing up what sun she could while in the relative heat of the trees.

Alice lay quietly with Kallen, thinking of little or nothing. She was waiting. Kallen was munching quietly on a fish, only occasionally looking up to see what she was doing. He grew bored with doing nothing, and she did, too. That was why she wished something would happen soon.

She wasn't entirely sure what she expected to happen, though; just... something. She had nothing to do, so she hoped that someone or something would give her a cure for such boredom as hers. However, she was growing to think that nothing would ever happen.

"Well, we'll just have to make our own adventure then, won't we Kallen?" Alice stood up, brushing off her clothes and turning to look at the Night Fury. He just stared at her with his green eyes, asking silently if he had to.

"Don't you start that, buddy. You're coming with me if that's the last thing I do."[/b]

Kallen rolled his eyes and got to his feet, shaking himself out. He walked to Alice and rubbed against her outstretched hand. The look he gave her obviously said, 'I suppose so if you insist, but be aware that I really don't care to do this.' Alice laughed. Kallen could be a little hard to understand at times; he didn't make his opinions known with the same type of body language as others may have. But Alice could always understand the dragon.

Alice grinned. "Then let's go!" She headed farther into the trees, forging a path. Fallen leaves and twigs snapped loudly underfoot, echoing off the trees around them. Kallen took off and flew overhead, his body a tad too bulky to fit easily through the trees.

And thus Alice and Kallen's adventure began.

Training, it's what she did most days. The other kids in the village still thought she was kind of weird. Of course, she couldn't blame them. She did actively make a show out of killing a man, despite his ill intentions. She and Ashray flew through the trees, his thin size make it easy for him to weave in and out of them. This skill was one of the Fearsome Iceflame's most coveted of abilities. She just needed to learn how to hold on when he was going so fast. His body moved like a snake's so putting a saddle on him was one a hindrence on the dragon. Of course she had one for him, but Hiccup said himself he needed to come up with a better design for her type of dragon. Ashray wasn't able to move as slickly with the one they had on.

One more minute, that would be all it took for her to break her previous record for staying on. Of course her record was only a whopping five and a half minutes, but she would take what she could get. It was something about the chill within his body that made his scaled slick, hard to hold on to. This would be no good if she kept flying off of him in the middle of a battle. It definitely would be sure to get her killed. Four second....Three seconds...Two seconds

"Son of a Night Troll!" She groaned, picking the leaves out of her hair from the fall. The fall knocked the wind out of her, but it took Ashray a few moments to notice he was flying without his partner. Of course, at a higher altitude he would be more aware of such things, but for now he was only enjoying the flight. He turned around, weaving through thetrees to make it back to his partner. He snorted at her in amusement, making the tuft of fur that grew over his eyes fly up for a moment.

"Shut up you." She said, standing up trying to brush all the dirt and leaved off of herself. "I just made this shirt too." She complained, earning another snort from her friend. She knew by now that he was scolding her this time. Of course she didn't exactly know what he was saying but she could read his emotions pretty well, and that was most definitelt his scolding look. "What are you my mother? Or do I have to remind you I don't have one of those?" She asked. Yeah, she didn get sad about it sometimes, but it was so long ago that she learned she had to move on. She wasn't so sure how her siblings were doing with it but she had to put the past behind her.

”I can be your Sunshine Girl, or the company for your misery.”

Alice kicked up a pile of leaves, sending leaves flying through the leaves all around her. She flung her arms to the sides and spun, enjoying herself immensely. Nothing like playing in fallen leaves. Of course, it didn't quite measure up to flying with Kallen through clear skies, but right now she just wanted to play. She skipped through the trees, swinging around some and leaping over the occasional branch or log.

Kallen roared at her, telling her his impatience with her method of moving. Unlike Alice, Kallen preferred to go at top speeds to where he was heading. So the way Alice skipped and pranced, circling trees like there was no hurry, drove him insane. But he would stick with her, and they both knew it; he was too much her friend and protector to do otherwise.

"Oh Kallen, why are you always in such a hurry?" Alice called to the black dragon gliding above her. "It's not like we really have anywhere to go!"

[/color] Even still, Kallen wanted to get somewhere with the utmost haste.

Alice skipped a couple more feet before Kallen rumbled his protest again. Alice stopped, looking skyward where blackness cut out the sun. Kallen really was like a black hole, wasn't he? He just kind of... absorbed color. "Alright, Kallen, we can fly. But promise me you won't complain next time I decide to walk, alright?"[/color]

Kallen's rumbled assent wasn't quite accepting, but it would have to do. "Find a clearing somewhere ahead, we'll go from there."[/color] Alice called, grinning as the dragon immediately sped up. She watched what she could of him through the trees before continuing her skip. Kallen would scold her once she reached him, but for now she could enjoy her time without him. She loved him, but sometimes his obstinacy got annoying.

Alice paused when she heard a voice up ahead. She debated avoiding it, but couldn't think of a decent reason why; it wasn't like she was going to meet a Curr or anything around here, and if she did... she touched the bow across her back, lying next to the quiver full of hand-made arrows. She could defend herself. Kallen would be mad at her if she fought without him, but he'd get over it.

She slunk forward, abandoning her skip for a quieter, stealthier walk, sliding easily around the more noisy areas at a decent speed. The voice grew louder in front of her; it was most definitely a girl, but she couldn't determine whether it was a voice she knew, or if it was someone she should avoid. She reached to her back and slid her bow off, quickly grabbing an arrow out of the quiver and stringing it. She drew back, ready to aim and shoot if necessary. Kallen would never forgive her if she got herself hurt while he was unable to get to her.[/blockquote][/size]

”I can be the quiet one, or the life of the party.”
