War before peace (1x1 dragons rp with ~NatureSword~)

[wolfpack12]

Astarot chuckled a little, as he glanced down at her. Twitching the end of his tail, as he listened to what she said." Well, we need to be brave, if we are to ever protect the ones we care about, just because we look fearless, doesn't mean that we are", he replied.

Nilanth nodded before walking out of the camps entrance. Her blue eyes watching for movement, her steps a little bit more cautious than those of her companion. Unlike Kaytsak who had no trouble blending in, considering his dark coloured scales. She was the only one out of her group, who had pure white scales. At least, one of the few who had light coloured scales. Meaning that she often had to take cover amongst bushes, in order to avoid drawing attention to herself. Especially when she was on her own.

Nezula lifted her head up to look at him again before nodding a little,"I think I understand now." She said, slightly tensing her wings for a second before letting them relax again under the water.

Kaytsak glanced around before he looked at the white female dragon, thinking for a minute,"So, what kind of herbs to we need to get?" He asked.

Bump

Astarot smiled gently, as he crossed his front paws. His wings shifting a little against his back, as he got into a more comfortable position." Good, now when you are old enough, and if your mother agrees to letting you go out on your own, don't forget to come back here and tell us about your adventures", he replied. Before tilting his head to the side, as he watched her carefully. Glad that his daughter was strong enough to be able to talk. However, if he ever did see Zarak again, then he wouldn't hesitate to try and rip one of his wings off. Just so that he could feel the amount of pain, that his daughter was probably going through, at this very moment." Just don't come back with any boys", he added, in a teasing tone.

Nilanth glanced back at him, upon being snapped out of her thoughts. Tilting her head to the side, as she recalled the herbs that she needed to get. Silently going through the list of things she needed, as she walked beside Kaytsak." Marigold, Goldenrod, Yarrow, Snake root, Chervile root and cobwebs", she replied.

[~NatureSword~]

Nezula looked at him after a few seconds,”Exactly how much older do you mean?” She asked softly. Shifting her weight a little before frowning when he teased her about boys, quickly remembering Tattken. Her whole dampened the more she thought about her friend, stuck in that horrible place,”Right...... Boys.....” She said quietly.

Kaytsak tilted his head a little as he listened,”I don’t know what any of those look like except for cobwebs.” He told her before glancing around them.

Astarot glanced at his daughter, upon hearing her question. Before once more returning his gaze towards her window, as he listened to his surroundings." Like I said, you'll know when your old enough to go out on your own, however, I do suggest that you start learning on how to defend yourself, if you wish to avoid getting caught again, plus, it would probably be wise to wait a little bit, in order for this whole thing to cool down a little.... you did scare us after all", he replied. However, a frown soon appeared on his face, upon noticing the change in his daughter's mood. Mainly because he noticed how her facial expression seemed to fall out of the corner of his eyes." Is there something else your not telling me, Nez?", he asked.

Nilanth glanced over at her companion, before tilting her head to the side. Trying to think of an easy way to describe the appearances of the herbs, in order to avoid confusing Kaytsak. Just in case the information she gave, became too much for his mind to take in." Ah, right, well Marigold is a low-growing flower, and is normally a bright yellow colour, although you can find some that are orange, and they mostly grow near water, Goldenrod is a tall looking plant with yellow flowers, and can mostly be found in moor-like areas, Yarrow is a white flowering plant, that can mostly be identified by its jagged leaves and tangy scent, their mostly easy to find since their quite plentiful within the forest, Chervil are quite easy to find, since their a sweet smelling plant and have leafy fern-like leaves, not to mention that white flowers grow from them, finally, snake root varies in appearance, but are mostly white coloured flowers that grow together in small groups, much like a dandelion, I suggest to not bite into this particular herb, because it is mainly used as a way of countering any poison that enters your bloodstream, and it could possibly make you seriously ill if you haven't been poisoned", she explained.

[~NatureSword~]

Nezula quietly thought of Tattken, remembering those few moments together before she suddenly heard her father's voice. Shifting her eyes to look at him before sighing softly,"There was this boy that I had met in the marketplace one time, but......" She paused for a few minutes before she continued,"But I don't know if I'll ever see him again, or if he ever sees me again." The princess said quietly as she shifted her weight a little.

Kaytsak blinked a little as she finished explaining,"Um....... Maybe I'll just look for yellow or white flowers and just ask you if their the right ones." He said as he shifted his wings a bit on his back.

Astarot watched her carefully, and shifted his weight slightly to get a little bit more comfortable. Not to mention, to stop his legs from growing numb. His pupils narrowed for a brief few seconds, before quickly returning to normal. Not that anyone could blame him, considering that Nezula was his only offspring. Besides, it was only natural that he would become a little bit overprotective, at the mention of his only daughter meeting a boy. However, he wasn't going to push too deeply into the topic, since it seemed to be something that troubled her." Well, I can't really say much on the topic, unless I say something I'll regret, something you'll understand when you decide to have kids of your own, however, I will say this, when I was a soldier and had met your mother for the first time, neither of us knew on whether or not we will see each other again, especially with the world being at constant war back then, mainly because I was constantly needed to help push back enemy attacks, however, the one thing that kept us going, was hope and faith, hope that we'd see each other again after the wars have ended, and faith that our paths will once more cross", he began.

The end of his tail gently twitching from side to side, as he tried to find the right words for what he was going to say next. Considering that he still remembered the fear he had first felt, when leaving Sunlight behind after his group had moved on. It wasn't easy, especially with the constant fear of not knowing on whether or not he would see her again." Just because you may not ever see this boy again, doesn't mean he is gone permanently, after all, you can never quite tell what our fates have in store for us, but it just simply means that at some point in your life, whether it be either sooner or later, you will cross each others paths once more, you just need to have faith that it will happen, and to never let go of the hope that resides within your heart", he finished.

Nilanth smirked a tiny bit in amusement, as she moved slightly ahead of her companion. Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, as she glanced at their surroundings." fine, but this is the main reason why fighting isn't everything, you spend too much time thinking about when the next battle is going to come, that you completely forget about everything else, including the more vital things, such as knowing what certain life saving herbs look like", she replied.

[~NatureSword~]

With her gaze staring at her reflection in the water, they were slowly brought up as she listened to her father's story of the past,"The hope that resides within your heart?" She echoed softly before thinking a little,"So, that's basically the hope of seeing the one you love again, no matter what happens." She said softly.

"We don't just think about the next battle." Kaytsak said before his sharp hunting eyes caught sight of some,"Yellow flowers!" He said.

[wolfpack12]

Astarot tilted his head to the side in consideration, as he thought about his daughter's words." Indeed, it doesn't matter who, whether their a relative, a close friend or someone you view as a significant other, as long as you care deeply about them, then there will always be a way of finding them again, you just need to keep your eyes open", he replied.

Nilanth shook her head, as she occasionally stopped to check at the bases of trees." Really? So you weren't one of the ones who jumped at the chance of getting revenge? Of flying off to battle?", she replied. Before lifting her head up, in order to follow the direction of his gaze towards the flower.
