Val padded her way back to the forest and walked along the river, hiding among the shadows
"I can't find her, she went out last night and never came back." Clarisse said
The queen and her dragon (open)
"I'll go find her and bring her back, Clarrise."
She stepped away from the door "I'm worried for her. She didn't handle it good last time,"
"I'll find her, I promise." He replied, hastily heading out towards the forest.
Clarisse nodded and went to go busy herself for their return.
Val sat down near the falls, glancing around before heading into cave that was hidden behind
Drake flew. He scanned the area, searching and searching. He let Kerrian take over at one point but even he couldn't see her. They landed in a clearing and the dragon let out a loud roar, hopefully one she could hear.
Val perked her ears as she heard a distant roar, flinching as she recognized it as being drakes/kerrian's. SHe curled herself up in a corner and waited
The dragon and man let out another, more distressed. He set off again, hoping to catch a scent or something.
Val stood and bounded out of cave, heading deeper into the forest. She hoped to get away before Drake could find a scent.
Luckily he did and he flew up above the trees and headed in the direction she went.
She twisted around the trees and bounded deeper into the forest. The trees offering coverage above her. She trotted to a stop and glanced around, letting her wolf take over for now
Kerrian took over for Drake, letting the dragon search for her.
She sniffed around, thinking that'd she'd gone far enough into the forest to not be found. She sighed softly and curled up near a bunch of trees at the edge of a cliff, letting her tail hang over the edge
Kerrian found her, though. He hovered over the edge of the cliff, “Hiding, Majesty?”
She shifted though her eyes stay wolfish "she send you?" She asked, talking about Clarisse
(Hey, sorry I disappeared for a moment, went through a bad break up)
The dragon nodded, shrinking to a decent size and landing next to her, towering over her a little, “She did.”
(its ok! I hope you're getting through it alright, if not then I hope life gets better for ya)
Val nodded and rested her head on her knees "I've thought about it." She muttered, glancing over the edge of the cliff to the jagged rocks below "so many times. The kingdom would be better off. You would be better off."
(Thanks)
Kerrian blinked, shaking his head, “No, we wouldn’t be. Yes, you’ve done some bad things, but so have I. You just have to accept your mistakes and move on.”
She sighed heavily "I'm sorry." She said softly
Kerrian shook his head, "As long as you deliberately lose our child, you don't have to be sorry for that. But for everything else… we forgive you."
She glanced up at him and smiled slightly "thanks." She stood from her spot and gazed out on the kingdom and to the small town beyon the castle
Kerrian nodded a little in response, following her gaze.
"you should get back, they'll be worried." She muttered to him without looking away
“They’re looking for you, too. Clarise is worried about you.”
She smiled softly at the mention of her close friend and maid "tell her I'll be back by dinner time."
Kerrian nodded, placing one of his hands on her back, “Please come home soon. We have matters to discuss.”
She nodded, comforted by his touch "I will. I promise."
(Hey! I saw that you're back! would you like to continue this?)
(Sure!)
