@drvconis    /    TYSM!   <33

@charmingprivateer    (  . . .  )       yes,  as   it   will   determine   whether   I   / kill /   you   or   not.     [       azara   retorted,     her   eyes   narrowing,   swirling   like   a   storm   as   she   stared   at   him   like   a   hawk   observing   its   prey.   at   his   words,   she   hesitated.      ]      I’m   fine.    I’m   not   going   to   die.      [       she   rasped,   slowly   bringing   the   dagger   down   away   from   his   neck   and   stepping   back   from   him.   her   copper   coloured   eyes   scanned   her   surroundings  —   she   didn’t   recognise   where   she   was   but   the   interior   looked   an   awful   lot   like   a   ship.   how   did   she   end   up   on   a   / ship /  ?
                      a   sharp   pain   once   again   travelled through   her   side.    her   fingers   slowly   lifted   the   hem   of   her   shirt,  teeth   clenching   as   she   peeled   the   material   away   from   the   stickiness   of   the   blood   that   smeared   across   her   side   and   the   deep   gashes   that   looked   suspiciously   like   claw   marks.   she   glanced   away   from   it,   dropping   her   shirt   as   she  hauled   her   legs  to   forwards   in   order   to   force   herself   to   move.     ]      I   can’t   be   here. 

( nikolai had only wanted to help — despite contrary belief, it was in his nature. now, with a dagger to his throat, he was trying to decide whether or not he truly regretted his choice, before deciding that, /no/, he didn’t. even if it meant he may die himself, at least she seemed fine enough to be wary of him. good enough. although, he noticed her grimace. was she hurt? he’d best check it out. ) is that question really relevant, sweetheart? you don’t look so good. would you mind letting yourself relax so i can take a look and make sure you’re not in threat of dying? if i wanted you dead, i would’ve killed your while you were out. no need to worry about me wanting your head.

@charmingprivateer    (  . . .  )      [        as   soon   as   azara   felt   the   foreign   touch   of   the   back   of   a   hand   against   her   forehead,   the   dragon   rider   had   launched   herself   up   to   her    feet,   eyes   struggling   to   adjust   to   the   light,   though   that   did   not   stop   her.  her   fingers   grasped   onto   the   collar   of   the   stranger’s   shirt,  shoving   him   backwards   until   his   back   hit   the   wall.      the   blade   of   one   of   her   many   daggers   pressed   against   his   throat,   teeth   bared   as   her   other   forearm   pinned   against   his   chest.   her   breaths   came   out   ragged   as   she   attempted   to   ignore   the   searing   pain   across   her   side   and   the   black   specks   that   dotted   across   her   vision.   her   memory   was   struggling   —   what   had   happened,   where   was   she,   how   had   she   ended   up   wherever   she   now   was  ?      ]           who   are   you  ?

            despite his unusual upbringing , erwin was raised just and true by two kind villagers .  these women made sure that a man such as erwin wouldn’t be easily corrupted by the way things had been built within the kingdom , especially after it had been taken over by a vicious king .  the warlock and knight knew better than to judge , or to slaughter those who didn’t deserve it .  he couldn’t possibly ruin this opportunity in seeing something so uniquely different .  “ i’m figuring out a way to bring my kingdom back to its rightful heir .  the king who currently sits on the throne stole it from me  ,  i’m the true king of stellarum—  i can no longer stand idle and wait for something to come to pass so i’m forging my own path to bring it back to me .  ” there was a clear goal in mind , one that could be seen in the very flickers of erwin’s eyes .  his words were honest , righteous .  he wasn’t a usurper , he was a savior .

@stellaroars     (  . . .  )       [       a   sour   expression   plastered   it’s   way   onto   her   face.    thinking   about   it   again,      azara   supposed   that   it   wasn’t   exactly   / unusual /   that   he   had   never   laid   eyes   on   a   dragon   before.    throughout   the   centuries,    their   numbers   had   dwindled   down,   largely   due   to   being    casualties   in   the   ongoing   war,    but   also   because   of   the   ones   who   hunted   them.   dragons   were   seen   as   monsters,   and   perhaps   they   were,    but   they   were   also   magnificent   creatures   who   were   on   this   earth   far   longer   than   anyone   else.   she   could   feel   the   hot   breath   of   the   dragon   behind   her,    who   was   unsettled   —   her   fingers   brushed   against   his   scales,   murmuring   in   her   mind   across   to   him   —  ‘ calm   yourself,   veyrith ‘ — . 
                     her   hues   narrowed   at   him   as   she   moved   forward,   the   unmistakeable   clink   of   her   blade   in   the   sheath   on   her   back   taunting   him   with   each   step.     ]      and   where   exactly   are   you   from   to   venture   so   far   into   lands   that   you   have   no   business   being   in   ?    . . .      [      her   lips   pursed.    she   was   undeniably   curious,   but   that   did   not   diminish   her   caution.   she   almost   laughed   at   his   statement   —   luckily   for   them   both   ?    who   did   he   think   he   was   ?       ]       why   are   you   here  ?

            “ i DO get out much  ,  mind you .  it’s just..  where i’m from we don’t exactly HAVE dragons— or any magical creatures for that matter .  they were all banned centuries ago .  ” there was a sound of displeasure in erwin’s tone , alongside his expression .  “ preferably with my body still intact .  ” even a knight such as he knew better than to go head to head with a beast known for its might , not to mention its rider .  erwin had heard of dragon riders but not once did he ever think he’d see the day were he actually MEETS one .  “ very lucky indeed .  and luckily for you both i haven’t came to bring harm  ,  that goes against my morals .  besides..  i have more pressing matters to attend to than measly fights .  ”
