Krissie looked up at Feris and shook her head, was he not taking this seriously? Spiders were of large spiders were of dark magic, which was never good when you happen to come across it. It either meant that someone was practicing the dark arts or it was a small sign that the Darkness was returning. She really hoped that it was the first one as the latter was terrifying to even think about. Sure all she ever heard of the Darkness was the stories but even the stories sent shivers down her spine. They were stories of pain and suffering though the ending was a good one, but there was always a warning that said to keep watch. No one knew if the Darkness would returned and many were beginning to think that the Darkness was dead and gone, the stories never said that it was. Shaking her head she stood and followed Feris as he continued to go forward, she figured that she would try to keep the worry of the spiders out of her mind. "Well lets hope that we don't run into a spider." She said as she rolled her eyes. Just then a booming roar sounded through the forest, the sound vibrated the air which meant that the dragon was close. But this roar seemed to tug on Krissie, like the dragon was calling to her, urging her forward. "Come!" She nearly yelled as she clasped Feris's should before running into the direction of the dragon roar. She didn't know if Feris was following but she hoped he was, as she would hate to find herself alone later. Another roar sounded, only this time a little further away which meant that this dragon wanted her a little further into the forest before it would show itself to her. Krissie hurtled over large roots and dove under others, all the while keeping the same pace and not slowing. She was a great runner for both endurance and speed, it was one of the things that her mentor seemed to make her do alot of. She often wondered if her mentor had an idea what dragon would choose her or what one she would find, though she was told that the dragon chooses you the moment you step into the forest. They didn't know how and most didn't care to know as they had their dragons. Krissie began to notice that the tree's were beginning to thin out a bit, though they were still huge, they weren't as close together. She slowed down and looked around for Feris, she couldn't see him. [i]Maybe he is some ways behind me?[/] She thought but was suddenly distracted when she heard the gurgle of water. Was she already at the river? It didn't seem like they were in the forest that long, but they could of been since they had no way of telling as the thick canopy of leaves prevented them from seeing the sky. Krissie slowly made her way forward through the thinning trees until she could see the gently flowing river. She didn't leave the tree line until she was sure it was safe, it was then though that she realized just how thirsty she was. Slowly she made her way forward looking about herself to make sure that no one or no thing would take her by surprise. Once at the waters edge she cupped her hands into the water and brought it up to her lips. The water was cool and vary refreshing, she noticed then that it was about mid day if not almost evening. Suddenly there was a rustle in the forest across from her, she stood up quickly and readied herself for an attack. But what she saw was two golden eyes like that of the sun, shaded blue wings like that of the sky. A smile made its way across her face as she realized that this was her dragon, an air dragon. She suddenly hoped that Feris had found his dragon as she would hate for him to miss out on the feelings she had. She took a step forward and watched as the dragon did the same until they were so close that all she had to do was reach out and touch the soft nose of her dragon. Before she could do just that the dragon lightly placed its head on her shoulder. A jolt of energy and understanding flowed through her, she now understood her dragon and only her dragon. She now knew that it was male and that he had a name that she couldn't possibly say at it was in dragon tongue. "I will call you Celer Ventus, Ven for short. Is that okay?" She asked and was answered with a small puff of air that she knew to be yes. "We should find Feris." She said before watching her dragon kneel so she could get on. She knew that this was going to be amazing. [hider=Dragon][img=http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/9436/fyshbyc3rmen.jpg][/hider]
