She shrugged. "Suit yourself." She stood, stretching. "I should get to bed," she said. "You should too. We have a lot to do tomorrow." She headed down the tree, to the roof, through the window, into her room.

Kye stayed where he was, thinking back to the first time he'd ever entered a cave. He'd been dared by some "friends" to go down with them. But when he went in, they pushed him down a hole where he couldn't get out, and they left him. He wandered that cave for weeks, with very little food, before he found his way out. After that, he vowed never to get lost in a cave ever again. That is why he spent so much time in the caves.

Hunter gazed out the window, at the sky. She sighed. Helping strangers with quests was no fun, especially if they died. And then most of them forgot about her.

Kye waited a bit longer before climbing back into his room. He laid back on the bed trying to get some sleep, hoping tomorrow they would figure out why he was there.

Hunter awoke long before the sun rose. She packed supplies into a bag and waited for Kye, going over the plan in her head.

Kye hand't really slept. He always had this problem in new places. He waited until it was beginning to get light, before getting up, and collecting his things. Then he walked out of his room and down the stairs. His soft leather boots making no noise on the stairs.

Hunter stood leaning against the wall, her eyes closed, soaking in sunlight. She didn't notice him.

Kye unfortunately was a master at going unnoticed, and therefore always scared people when he spoke. "Morning," he mumbled. Giving a small smile.

Hunter opened one eye. "Hey. Ready to go?"

"Yeah, I guess," Kye nodded. His white hair now gleaming in the sunlight, and his dark purple eyes seeming to shine. "Where do we plan to go?"

Hunter straightened. "Well, there's a village a few miles away, where we can get some supplies."

"Alright, we'll start there," he made a gesture to the trap door. "Lead the way."

Hunter clambered down and jumped gracefully to the ground. She grinned up at him. "The creatures don't come out during the day, so we're fine for now."

Kye swung down using only the middle of the ladder before dropping to the ground next to Hunter. "That makes things nicer," he smiled. He could hear birds singing in the distance, but didn't comment on it, his hearing was sharper then most. But the songs put an even brighter smile on his face.

Hunter grinned. "I know." She whistled sharply, and a dark green blur shot towards her. It wrapped around her arm and slid into her sleeve. She jerked her head to Kye. "Come on. Let's go."

He fell into pace next to Hunter. He walked in silence, his eyes still adjusting to the light. He'd been down in the caves for a long time, without light. So now that it was bright and sunny, he had to let his eyes adjust fully. It made not stumbling over things difficult. But he managed to keep up.

Hunter walked noiselessly, her hand next to her face, whispering something into her sleeve.

Kye glanced at her in confusion, but quickly looked back at the ground. He sighed and did a front hand spring.

Hunter snorted. "Bored? Don't worry, we're almost there." She glanced up at the position of the sun, adjusting the pack on her shoulder.

"Not bored, just stiff," he replied. "I'm trying to keep loose."

Hunter gave him a half smile. They exited the woods and found themselves in a rolling, green field. A small village was nearby. Hunter gestured with her head, and started off towards it. As soon as the watchmen saw who it was, they opened the gate, a frightened look on their face.

"Seems like a nice place," Kye commented looking at the scared face of the gatekeeper.

Hunter smirked slightly. "Very." She strode through, chin held at an arrogant tilt. She walked into the market, and silence fell immediately. She gestured around. "Get whatever you think you'll need. I can pay for it."

Kye walked around looking at different places. He came to a rock shop and decided on only one rock. "This will work."

She stared at him, then shrugged, walking over to the herb stall. She got a couple of plants and a gray cloak before tossing a pure gold coin down.

"I think we're all good here," Kye tossed his rock up in the air.

Hunter shrugged, and led him to a stable. Two dragons were saddled, one black, one fiery colored.

"Oh," Kye stared at the dragons. "Uh…." He went quiet. "So… which one is yours?" He rubbed the back of his neck.
