Skye finished chopping the veggies and some more of the meat, adding spices and some powder he poured a little water in the mix before motioning to Alex, who caused a large flare to blow up into the grate, over which skye proceeded to place the pan over before flipping the meat he'd put on earlier. Next he pulled out some bread and cheese from the stocks they had and sliced it up useing his aura to toast the bread. "Breakfast is almost ready!" he hollered to the others, causing Frost and Damian to sheath their weapons and dash over to silver's den and grab the dishes.
Ryker smiled before jogging over to Skye, Cass and Lakin close behind him. Cass grinned and poked Lakin in the side, whispering something to her. She laughed and shoved him lightly, smiling softly.
Frost and Damian brought the plates over just as Skye was checking the meat, Skye nodded and mentally levitated them as he began serving everyone. When he finally served himself everyone was just about finishing up and Silver was organizing jobs for everyone. He had assigned Avalanche, Blaze, Firia, and Sirus' mate Nightwind, to patrol. the twins to breakfast cleanup. Sirus to bed. And Skye was to keep watch at home base while Silver went out and restocked on herbs from a caravan that was passing through the region. He was almost finished assigning jobs when he turned to Cass, Lakin, and Ryker, "Any chance you three could help out?" he asked.
Ryker nodded "Yeah, we can help," He smiled and looked down at Lakin, who also nodded.
"Sure," Cass said with a shrug, looking around "What do you want us to do?"
"If I could get Lakin and Cass to keep an eye on the twins while they're training that'd be awesome, Alex will do the teaching, but I don't want him getting injured if their swordplay get's out of hand." Said Silver, "And Ryker, if you could help Frost and Damian with the northern patrol that'd be awesome."
Cass and Lakin nodded "Will do," Cass said, taking Lakin's hand and walking over to where the twins were. Ryker smiled and nodded, quickly jogging over to Frost and Damain.
Frost smiled when Ryker came over, "You ready to go?" asked Damian
"Yup," Ryker said, smiling softly. He rubbed the back of his neck and nodded slightly.
Frost nodded and led the way into forest with Damian at her side. They walked for a long time, showing Ryker the breathtakingly beautiful forest around them. they kept on like that for a long while, not seeming to go in any particular direction until they came to gorge where they paused for a moment
Ryker's smile grew bigger at everything he saw. "Wow…" He gasped, smiling as he looked at the gorge.
"Yup", said Damian, "now we have to climb that cliff" he gestured to the cliff on the other side of the gorge.
"Ok," He nodded and looked at the cliff, rubbing the back of his neck before nodding again "How do we get down to the cliff?"
"Like this!" yelled Damian as he lept off the edge and skidded down the side. Frost nodded than followed suit.
Ryker sighed a little before trying his best to follow. He did well until the end when he caught his foot on a stray rock and tumbled forward, falling on his face on the ground "Ow.." He groaned, stumbling to his feet and rubbing his face.
Damian laughed and helped him up.
"Don't worry, it takes practice!" said Frost
He blushed slightly, only enough to be seen if you looked for it. "I'll get it eventually.." He mumbled, smiling and rubbing his face.
"c'mon" said Damian shifting, "You'd better ride for the next part"
"Ok," Ryker said, climbing onto Damian's back. He smiled at Frost before turning his attention back to riding.
Frost shifted to, and ran towards the wall leaping off of one of the boulders and catching herself on a ledge before leaping to the next one, "You coming Damian?" she called.
"Yeah!" he called back, "Hang on tight ok Ryker?"
He nodded and hung onto Damian as tight as he could, a small smile on his face.
Damian rushed towards the wall and did exactly what frost had done. Frost kept up to the next ledge and kept going when she saw Damian coming. Damian kept his momentum all the way to the top.
"Thanks," Ryker said when they reached the top and he got off, looking down at the gorge they had just crossed/
Damian nodded before padding up the slope along the cliff. Frost shifted and beckoned Ryker to follow.
Ryker followed Frost and shoved his hands in his pockets, humming slightly and smiling.
It took about 15 minutes. But soon they were up high over the valley's edge. "Breathtaking view isnt it?" Said frost stopping to admire it for a moment.
(You need to see this.. https://pin.it/4kxpknpylgqtsz )
(EEEEKKKKK :3)
"It's amazing," He said softly, looking at the view and nodding. "Wow…" He smiled at Frost and looked back out at the view.
"Betcha dont see stuff like this often!" Said Damian from up ahead.
(ist's awdorkable!!! :3)
Ryker chuckled "Not usually," He rocked back on his heels and nodded "I like to look at sunrises and sunsets, but this is beautiful as well.."
Frost nodded and followed Damian as they treked along the ridge.
