Aura walked through the forest. She was wearing armor over her clothing and a cloak. He identity concealed by the hood and the shadow it provided. She had been out here for awhile. Just walking around. Nyx was nearby, probably searching the area and the surrounding area from the skies just to be sure it was all safe.
group
A fully cloaked and uniformed figure was hopping from tree to tree in the forest. The ruffling noises created from the jumps were almost as silent as a pin drop. The figure seemed to stop every now and then, presumably, they were looking for something. As they were doing so, they jumped above Aura and blocked the sunlight shining down on her for a brief moment before they stopped and looked down at her when they landed on the next tree branch.
group
Aura saw the sun fade near her and she moved back. Then she drew her sword and stood there. She looked around a bit not really seeing anyone nearby. Maybe it was just a cloud blocking the light. Though even with those thoughts she kept her sword out.
A girl had been following Aura as well, curious about the mysterious girl. She hid behind the large tree trunks and fluttered to the next one. She made sure to stay out of sight and keep her wings cleverly hidden. Her wide golden eyes grew even wider at the shadow. Someone else is following her? She looked up into the trees, debating whether she should fly up and take a look at who it was. No, don't do that! she told herself quickly. She stayed hidden and only watched.
A sword! The young fae covered her mouth with her hand in shock. She was following a warrior!
group
The cloaked figure slowly crept behind the arm of the tree they were on. From this angle, they could see both the woman he passed by and the one behind her. They fixed their mask and scarf so that their face would be fully covered. The only things shining from the shadows were their emerald green eyes. They climbed upwards towards the top of the tree to get a clear and better view of the scene while making sure that the sounds they made were to a minimum.
The fae could feel someone's eyes on her. She looked around nervously before turning her eyes upwards. She wasn't able to see the figure in the trees – they blended in extremely well. She took a small step closer to the tree and her foot snapped a twig.
group
Aura turned towards the sound of the twig snapping and went over to it. Then she saw the face of the fae. "Hello there." She said in fake happiness.
group
The cloaked figure shifted around nervously as they spotted what the two females were getting into. They came back to the side they originally were and jumped to the tree almost right above the two women. They did this at a quick speed with little to no sound was produced… until they landed on the tree’s branch. This was when that branch broke from the tree itself and to the ground it went. Luckily though, they positioned themself on another branch that was more robust than that one.
She froze. Oh no! She needed to run, she had to. The girl hadn't seen her wings, so she didn't know that she was a fae. But maybe her facial features had given her species away… She became more and more paranoid.
A branch dropped down a few feet away from her, and she screamed in surprise.
group
"Calm down jumpy. I'm not going to murder you in cold blood." Aura said and smiled at the girl then leaned against the tree. "Nyx is the more prone to random murder, though mostly of small animals. I only murder in self defense or if something is gained." Aura said then looked up at the tree above.
The fae hid behind her tree even more. She didn't trust herself to say anything.
group
The cloaked figure was standing still on the branch almost right above Aura. They were still pretty blended in with their surrounding. At least, they were. The winds blew aggressively at them and their scarf moved to the rhythm of the storm. They were also unable to resist the aggression the leaves made on their back. Logically, they had to move. They jumped down from the tree and revealed themself. They were still wearing their mask and scarf though, as their identity still needs to be hidden for now.
group
Aura looked at both of them then nodded. "Hello…" She said and kept her hand on her sword. She didn't exactly trust these people and trust was hard to have with strangers.
group
The cloaked figure slowly took off their hood to reveal asymmetrical silver colored hair. The white mask they wore was slowly taken off. As soon as the mask was removed from the figure’s face, their emerald green colored eyes glowed slightly as the sunlight touched their irises.
“Hello indeed…” the male figure said with a soft smile. Their clothing was one of a hunter or a bounty hunter; a long black coat, a black scarf and leather boots with small blades attached. Their emerald green eyes and silver colored hair were the only things that didn’t fit the tone of his clothing style.
group
"Well I've never seen a bounty Hunter this far into the woods." Aura said as she recognized the clothing then took off her hood and whistled a call to Nyx.
The fae trembled at the arrival of the new person. A bounty hunter?
group
“That’s not exactly true… although I do hunt things and sometimes people, I don’t work as a professional bounty hunter ‘cause you should know how stressful those people are” the man laughed slightly. They then smiled as they turned to the woman who was hiding herself behind her a tree.
She refused to come out. Even though her wings were impossible to see because of the spell she'd preformed on then, she was still worried they'd find out she was fae.
group
"Yeah I've dated a pro bounty Hunter. He was honestly a bastard who looked for money in every little thing." Aura said and laughed. After she spoke Nyx flew down. Nyx was a Griffin with pitch black and dark brown feathers
At the sight on the griffin, she trembled even more. She was terrified of griffins.
group
"You okay?" Aura asked when she noticed the girl clearly trembling.
She shook her head slowly, not taking her eyes off of the dark griffin.
group
Nyx started rolling around in the dirt. "You scared of Nyx?"
She nodded quickly and drew closer to the tree. Her heart was racing.
group
Aura nodded then walked over to Nyx. "Sit down, now." She said and Nyx sat without hesitation. "Nyx here is just a big loveable mass of feathers." Aura said then quietly continued "though she could rip people's heads off and murder people and animals…. Still just lovable feather pile."
The fae exhaled against the bark of the tree softly. A little patch of flowers grew there. Oh no… She hoped they didn't see.
group
Aura wasn't really paying any attention the the ground near the tree.
She swallowed and took a half step to her left so they could see her a bit more clearly.
group
The assumed bounty hunter walked closer to the Griffin. They then placed their hand softly on the Griffin’s outmost feathers and stroked them gently. The hunter seemed to be fond of animals as they were giving the hint of a smile while they stroked the Griffin.
