Average Day - continued

[Li`l Pixie]

Crank shot along the pathways and corridors of the rocky caverns and ledges. The dragon highlands were much rockier than Heaven's Breath, she observed, though she had been here many times. It wasn't often that a commander summoned her, or anyone for that matter, personally.

Perching n an outcropping, she looked into the open sky and awaited Leon's arrival.

[[x]Ren[x]]

His paws brushed over the low clouds, though they were barely felt he still knew they were there. He enjoyed the chill that high altitudes brought though these clouds seemed low, probably because his target was the highlands. Leon swept lower and nearer to the cliff side, making a somewhat softer landing this time around.


Impatiently tapping claws across the rocky surface, icy frost bellowing from it's nostrils. A dragon crouched low on one of the higher outcroppings, awaiting his meet with the few that were summoned from the Lowlands. The beast had light azure scales with ivory spikes and horns jutting from his skull. Jihirad didn't like to be kept waiting. Narrow purple eyes almost glowed against the blue and white colorings.

[Li`l Pixie]

"Ah, there you are," Crank said, turning to meet the winged wolf. "We better hurry if we don't want an angry Jihirad.

Bouncing along the rocks, she clamored up to the commander's perch.

"Finally," he growled. "I summoned you three hours ago."

"We left as soon as we could sir," Crank apologized. "HB isn't close to here,"

The commander's eyes widened. "What were you doing in HB? I though I assigned you to desk duty in the caverns."

Crank shrugged. "I've been at HB for months. Corporal Higald (random names sry xD) never told me otherwise. Plus the runner didn't get there till about an hour ago."

The ice dragon groaned, his front claws crossed. "Higald had better stop assigning my best officers to the worst places if he knows what's good for him."

"Your...best, sir...?"

"Of course. Now where is that Leon character?"

[[x]Ren[x]]

LEon nodded and took flight again. "I apologize for being late, sir."He landed once more at Crank's side and looked upon the massive dragon. He contained himself for this once and left his cocky smile in his mind. Though the task wasn't easy he tried to look as "reserved" as possible.

[Li`l Pixie]

"Ah, there you are," Jihirad nodded. "Well, our reports have...well...reported that there is human movement in the south. They seem to be heading for some for of quarry to gather photons if our predictions are correct. Not only could we find a use for those (in the possible use of claw attachments), but we need to get them before the humans do.

"If you are wondering why I chose the two of you, well, let me explain. While Lieutenant Raptor here is good at stealth, you very well know that you are not," he explained, looking at Leon. "This isn't a bad thing. In fact in this case, it is much appreciated. You will act as a scout for Crank, Private Varfang, and report back to her on human movements."

Crank groaned. Another desk job.

"Patience, Raptor, I'm getting to your job. You will accompany Private Varfang and act as you see fit to stop the humans. If your reputation is correct, they should be easy prey. Don't forget Varfang can fight as well if necessary."

"When do we leave, commander?" Crank asked, a little excited.

"As soon as possible," he nodded.

[[x]Ren[x]]

Soaking up every word from their commander, he was nearly silent and nodded when he was told his job in this mission. He understood it and would be able to accomplish. Most humans were never alert nor cared for any animals that wandered around the areas. He figured these ones wouldn't be much different.

"As you command, Sir. " He looked at Crank, she normally lead since she was of higher rank the wolf waited for her to start off so he could do the same.

[Li`l Pixie]

Walking down the rocks away from the snoozing commander (he always like his naps for some reason), she punched Leon playfully on the shoulder.

"What was all that 'as you command, sir' crap there?" she asked, grinning. "It's so weird how serious you get around him."

She bounced down the cliffs leading out of the caverns and came to rest next to a falling stream.

"Jeez, it's like you care too much," she said playfully. Crank was generally not even serious at her job. Fortunately, the higher ups found it charming, so she never got into much trouble if she didn;t complain too much. She wasn't sure how she got promoted so fast. Her and Leon had met in training and he was still a private, first class.

[[x]Ren[x]]

"Neh, Neehhhh....I don't want to get eaten by him!" he yiped. For how old the wolf was he acted younger, which it seemed his body followed along. The cocky smile rolled back over his maw quick enough. He never complained by being so low in rank. Because he wasn't really treated like it. Assuming it was because of his hybrid nature.

[Li`l Pixie]

Crank chuckled. Leon always had the gift of making her laugh.

"I kind if wish we didn't have to leave so fast. I wanted to talk to (OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVNT MADE CHARRIES YET *rages*) before I left. Oh well, can't be helped. Do you think we need anythin special before we go?"

Crank picked up a pebble with her tail and tossed it into the stream, watching the ripples form. "It's good to finally be going somewhere now. I hate desk duty."

[[x]Ren[x]]

He pawed the water and thought then said "Nope. And Yup..." He wanted to start going so then he could DO something. He grinned at chasing around humans. He pranced around, making splashes and ripples in the water. "Well then, Lets get a headstart" he said with a wide grin.

[Li`l Pixie]

(XD silly Leon)

"Alright, you impatient animal," she grinned. "Let's get going then."

(move to where nao? o:)

[[x]Ren[x]]

[go to the beast domain then travel for a page or two THEN enter the hunt thread.]

The lightly colored wolf trotted into another cleared area. He would fly lower this time, he didn't feel like getting the chill just yet. He was already revved up and ready for a long journey.
