reconnaissance

[Vavrinec]

It had been days since Vavrinec's clash with Raylborn and the run-in with Andvari. Since then, Vavrin had lounged in her headquarters in Gil'ead, thinking on every detail, and her next move.

It was early in the evening when Vavrin had strapped her pale blade to her belt, pulled on her black cloak, and decided to take a lesiurely walk around the compound. It was routine for her to pass by the cells and barricks, stopping often to taunt and gloat at the prisoners.

However, this night was different. She was expecting something different. Impatiently, she waited at the main entrance of the compound. Vavrin stood almost statuesque, face cold and expressionless.

Yin and Yang didn't need to hold to tightly to the dragon. No matter how it swayed, they would manage to keep on some how. Yin looked around the area. The night had already swept the area, but his eyes were powerful and could even see in the darkest of areas. Yin reached for his bow staff and tapped the dragon on his side. "There," they said, pointing down to a woman. "Vavrin..."

[Illyria]

Otho growled when they tapped her side. Hold tight..[/color] She told Illyria and veared downward and to the side. She leveled out and landed. Happy?[/color] She asked and shook her back violently. Illyria laughed slightly and leaned in close. "Good job. Just cause we joined..doesnt mean they have broken us. We'll still do as we please." Illyria looked back at the twins. "You can get off now." She hissed as Otho crouched down.

[Vavrinec]

The sky had grown considerably darker since the Shade had left her quarters. Finally, they had arrived, along with the other Rider. So, this must be the new Rider Galbatorix had informed her about. Vavrinec's long hair blew off of her shoulders as the dragon landed, her maroon eyes narrowed as she waited for Yin and Yang to approach her.

[dannylam4]

"We'd be happy to," they said, hopping off. They bowed slightly to the shade and gestured to the rider and her dragon. "Vavri, this is Illyria and her dragon, Otho. They're the latest addition to Galbatorix's... collection."

They gave Illyria and Otho a slanted smile and looked back at Vavrinec. "Your latest message and mission from Galbatroix." Yang reached into his pouch and pulled out a scroll, handing it to Vavrinec.

((No, I have no idea what the mission is... >>))

[Illyria]

Otho growled at the twins. Your lucky he doesnt want any harm to come to either of you.[/color] Illyria shook her head and gave them a dirty look as she hopped off. She bowed to Vavrinec slightly. She turned and started to adjust the riding straps on the Saddle. "We arent part of a collection." Illyria whispered coldly as she did so. She glanced back at them and saw them hand the Shade a scroll.

[Vavrinec]

Vavrin watched as the twins bowed, then inclined her head in return and accepted the scroll from Yang. She unrolled the scroll and read it, smirking slightly as she read Galbatorix's message. "I see. Very well." She turned and acknowledged Illyria and Otho. With that, she rolled it back up and tucked it inside her sleeve.

"Welcome to Gil'ead, Illyria." she said with a sly grin.

[Illyria]

Illyria smirked slightly. "Thanks but I dont plan on staying long unless Galbatorix wants me to stay here." She said and Otho nodded her head in agreement. I would leave now I suggest.[/color] Otho said and spread her wings slightly. illyria raised her hand and Otho sighed and laied them againt her back again. Illyria stared at Vavrin with no emotion.

[Vavrinec]

"I would say otherwise. It may be a while. May as well get used to it." she remarked. Something caught Vavrin's eye as she finished her sentence. The Shade placed a hand upon the hilt of her sword and began stride a few paces. She spoke again. "Like it or not, you and your dragon are a pawn in this game."

[Illyria]

At that Illyria laughed. "We may seem like pawns but we arent you have no idea what we could do and what goes on in our heads. Even though we vowed to do as Galbatorix wishes he didnt say anything about you or his...wizards." She spat. Otho's claws scratched the ground and eyed Vavrin. Remove your hand from your sword. If you mean us no harm.[/color] She growled.

(OOC: im in catform.) Ravaka, a black muscular werecat with oversized paws and fangs hanging down from his mouth. his face was angular and had a grey shaggy mane on its angular face. Was hiding behind a crate. Listening to the conversation the people and the one dragon were having. whew i thought for sure that the shade saw me. thought ravaka with a sigh of relief.

[Vavrinec]

"On the contrary. I think you might find I know exactly what goes on in your mind." she retorted. Her eyes met Otho's. "As for you. If I wanted to harm you or your Rider, I would have done so already. Now then, I suggest we take this inside if we do not want to be overheard by certain pesky werecats."

She glanced over at the twins and walked inside the building. You couldnt be too wary about the people around here.

[Busch]

Ravaka felt stupid at the moment. how'd she know i was here? or that i was a werecat? ahh o well i can just try to find another way to eavesdrop on them. Ravaka thought finding hiden places to go in.

[Illyria]

Otho growled at Vavrin and nudged Illyria foreward. "Fine I hope you have someplace in mind." She said coldy and stepped foreward. Otho followed her closely. I hate that shade.[/color] She snorted.

[Busch]

'Hmmmm lets see... maybe if i. not that wouldnt work... ah here we are' Ravaka found a barrel, he jumped on the barrel and then on the roof of the building they were about to go in. 'hopefully ill beable to hear some of there conversation'

[Vavrinec]

"I'm afraid your dragon will have to wait outside," she waved her hand dismissingly. Vavrin made her way through the lobby entrance and up the stairs. From there, she walked down the hall and into a mid-sized room which was bare except for an area rug on the stone floor, a long table, and some chairs. A lantern hung from the ceiling, its flickering flame casting just enough light to properly see. There was a window, but it was so narrow that it couldnt be counted on for illumination of any means.

The Shade gestured towards the chairs. "By all means, sit. We have a few things to discuss."

[Busch]

Ravaka peered through the really narrow window. 'Ha i can see them' he thought. He put his ear up againts the windows and tried to hear what was going on. 'damn i cant hear anything. he jumped down off the roof onto the barrel then onto the floor, then froze. there was the dragon standing there. 'Hello there dragon.' ravaka said.

[Illyria]

Otho turned her head to look at the werecat. Hello. Who might you be and whats your buisness?[/color] she asked him curiously.

Illyria sighed and sat in a chair and crossed her legs. "What is it that we have to dicuss?" She stared at Vavrin and placed a few finger to her temple. "I have no where else to go anymore so by all means take your time." She chuckled. Otho? Who are you talking to?[/color] she asked her. Thats what I'm trying to figure out poppet.[/color] She replied in a stressed voice. Illyria frowned slightly.

[dannylam4]

The twins followed the two into the building. They turned and looked at the dragon. "No pets allowed, it seems," they mocked as they walked backwards. They entered the room and stood against the wall. "Yes, why has Galbatorix sent us here? And does it involve casting pain on someone?"

Yang stood against the wall, flicking daggers into the air and catching them. Yin stood beside him, twisting his bowstaff around his hand, staring off into space.

[Busch]

"Well im a werecat as you probably know already. and i am up to no buisness at all. im just walking around here. you know just looking for interesting things, like you here and all that." Ravaka said. Then going to a crate and looking inside it. "Im actualy pretty hungry. theres nothing that you can scrounge around for here." Ravaka said, looking in another crate.
