Interrupted from her rambling, Maya jumped at the sound of wyverns screeching in the distance, and instantly turned her head in that direction. That alone would ordinarily be enough to get her attention, but when Auri mentioned the voices that could also be heard, the village girl became even more intrigued. “No…” she responded quietly to Auri. “Let’s go see what’s happening!” 

Maya ran off in the direction the sounds came from. She assumed Auri would follow, but completely forgot to look back or wait for him. Looking up, she stopped for only a moment to gaze at the wyvern flying over the land in front of her, before resuming her pursuit. Brushing shrubs and low-lying branches out of her way, her jaw dropped when she spotted the second wyvern waddling along the ground, with two humans walking in its shadow. “Are… are those [i]yours[/i]?” she asked in wonder, pointing to the wyvern ahead of her and the one in the sky. “That’s… that’s amazing!!” she exclaimed. Sword and Shield Knights notwithstanding, she hadn’t seen a domesticated Draconide since she was a little girl. Excitedly, she ran towards the group, but hesitated as she got close, not sure how these men, or their wyvern, felt about strangers. “Does… does he have a name?” she asked, hardly taking her eyes off the beast.
