Deceptive Harmonies(discontinued)

Astra had a blade up agaisnt Ryker's neck while Austa looked around at the men, hunters, that surrounded the two girls. "We'll kill him!" Austa yells firmly, Astra making it more believable by digging the blade into his neck, making him wince and a small amount of blood to be drawn.

The hunters stared at the two girls, glanced at each other with raised eyebrows, underestimating them, them went for them, but Ryker jerks as he feels the blade actually piercing his skin, making the hunters take a few steps back. "You think we're messing?" Astra asks with a chuckle. "Look at how serious we are!" She yells, drawing more blood.

Ailith swung herself from a rope attached to the sail onto the boat right next to the one she was on and where Austa and Astra are currently on, she gave a thumbs up to her friends and they scoffed in return and went back to the diversion.

Ailith landed on the boat and stealthily moved towards the below deck. She looked around and saw Dawn's cage, with the orange Nadder within. She smiled brightly and ran over, waking her up. "Psst, Dawn, got up ya lazy sack of spikes!" She says with her usual playful tone, making Dawn's eyes open and look up to her.

Dawn squawks in triumph before flexing her spines and shooting it at the cell door, Ailith takes one out and starts to pick the lock, but before she herself could hear the click of her succeeding, she was hit across the head with a bludgeon.

The man who held the bludgeon held a stern look, his brown eyes looked up at Dawn who used all her strength to stand high and shove the door open, knocking Viggo backwards. She then ran at him as he adjusted himself to a seated position agaisnt the wall.

Viggo jumped when he saw the charging Nadder, he grabbed a crossbow next to him and shot it, aiming for the heart...he hit his target and the Nadder fell before him and skid along the ground to his feet.

Ailith slowly and weakly awoke and looked around, she stood up and held the back of her head as she turned herself to face what she feared most. There, Dawn's corpse laid with a man before her.

Her eyes welled up but her fists clenched tightly, she walked over silently and took a shot at Viggo, punching him square in the face, having him spin before he fell out cold.

Ailith then fell to her knees at Dawn, she out of the three girls was the only one able to say goodbye and she wanted to savour it. She embraced the dead dragons corpse and let a few tears loose, she didn't want to cry, she never does, but now it feel like it wasn't much of an option.

Tears didn't poor out of her like there's no tomorrow, more like, emotionless tears as she stares at Dawn's cold body.
