(yeah, I'm getting hungry too. To be continued...)

(I'll ping you when I get back :P)

Zilla slowly sat up. She then watched her go. She didnt say anything. She couldnt seem to notice the surrounding danger. Her eyes were still glued to the sky. Eventually, she began to stumble away, still not making a sound. She didnt look like she was fully there.

He carfully wrap his wings around her " We have to go ... next time we meet her she won't have the chance to flee that easyly." His blood was still boiling with rage but he had to be calm for the both of them.

(Plop)

Speeding up higher and higher, back to the Floating City, Elenor watched as the two new hunters looked up at her for a brief second. They then carried on with their work. She wasn't the dragon they were looking for, then.

There was a tight feeling in her gut. Though she should have felt at ease after repaying the debt dealt to her, she only had more concerns. It wasn't to do with Skaaul - no, he was obviously as headstrong and unyielding as the stories made him out to be.

It was the dragoness that was bothering her.

She still hadn't learned her name, and that too made her irritated. Learning people's names had never concerned her before... only her brother's. But if she was being true to herself, she knew he wasn't really her blood-brother. Just the only ally she had ever found in the confines of the training institute she had been brought up in. So really, she never had known anyone who was her family.

Not important, she thought irritably. You don't have to tangle with those two again if you don't want to.

She flew just around the edge of the Floating City, so no-one could detect her presence, before finally nipping up when she was closest to the mountains in the region. Skimming up the side of the mountain unseen before gliding down the next slope, she looked out for the shrine Cesura had talked about.

Zilla looked up at him. N-no. I shouldnt stay with you any longer. I dont want to be used against you. I-if they catch me, Ill figure out some sort of lie or something. Just please... she said quietly. She choked back some tears. She didnt want to be used against him. She knew the immediate danger but hated the feeling of being used against him and didnt want it to happen again.

He went silent, of course she would want to leave after that, he had failed at protecting her like he should have had. With a sigh he unwrap his wings from around her and step away, it was her choice and no matter what he had to respect that. " Fine, go then but bring that cursed book with you, i don't want that getting in the hands of my father if i fail again." His voice was lower then usual as he turn his back from her, he reminded himself what she had said earlyer, she don't want to bury a friend, well there was only one way to ensure that this would be true no matter what so he forced his tone to become colder. " I don't nead you anymore, leave and stop being a dead weight to me !"

She took a deep breath then began to walk off. She felt bad but she knew it was all for the best. If she wasnt around she wouldnt be used against him. She started crying as soon as she was far enough away that Skaaul couldnt hear her. She again bit down on her lip to stop her whimpering.

He refused to look back, it was all is fault, he should have been better then this. He was cursed to be alone, carying a flame who had lost it's purpus a long time ago. His sadness was fueling the anger against the unnamed dragoness, the fog had start to raise in a thick layer in the area and he wasn't planing to stay the night if she wanted to play then they would play. Before he leave he set a trap, a fire in the middle of a quicksand pit between far away from where Zilla was going. Then while the hunters were investigating the glow he fleed the area, slowing his speed to blend with the dragons from the city.
