Scarvern flicked his finger dismissively at his brother. "Ugh. Why did I have to follow you and firecracker on this?"
Scarvern smirked and glanced over at Reylyn. She was leaning against one of the trees that weren't struck by the lightning. She seemed to be calculating something.
"Oh? She's definitely a firecracker, that's for sure," he snickered back. She pushed off of the tree she was leaning against and walked back slightly. She was clutching something in her right hand.
"I found a key," Reylyn opened her hand. There was a rusting silver key laid across it. "My guess is that we open a portal with it,"
Trevyon snorted behind her. "Like a key can open a portal, you need a door for that,"
She gritted her teeth at him. "You're not the one that needs to be part of the quest, are you?"
Scarvern rolled his eyes at her agitated behavior. "Your infuriating, Reylyn,"
She ran her tongue across her teeth and smirked. Smirking was something she loved doing if he was talking.
"Well, thank you, blondie," She tossed the key in the air and laughed. Scarvern searched for the healthiest tree in his line of vision.
"Found it," Reylyn said coolly. "The key to the next part of this quest," Her eyes narrowed into determined slits.
"Good luck with ms. firecracker," Tristen snorted from behind him. "She looks like a piece of work,"
"You're a piece of work." Reylyn snapped back as her nostrils flared with flurry. "Now, Scarvern, if you don't mind, I would like to be done with this quest as soon as I can," She flipped her hair to the side. "Nice meeting you, Tristen," her tone was dark, and no room for any emotion.
Scarvern didn't argue and stood next to the tree where she was standing. She fiddled with the key in her palm before sighing and turning to him.
"You do it," he reassured her by nudging her slightly. She paused.
"Your part of this quest to, you know,"
Scarvern raised an eyebrow at her soft tone. "When did you become all sappy?"
"Since now," her lips turned up into a soft smirk. A genuine one, instead of all of her snarky and fiery smirks. He opened his palm slightly. "You should do the honors,"
Reylyn dropped the key into his palm. He up at her.
"Yea," She shook her head at his confused expression, she brushed her hair from her eyes. They stood side by side as Scarvern inserted the key shakily. They were blinded by a red light. He felt hazy.
