Dragon Rider RP (Closed)

"That's okay," Aurelius said. He sounded disappointed, but he wasn't disappointed in her. He had just thought that maybe just maybe there would be a piece of information that would help them.
"Uh… I guess we'll figure things out one way or another."
Nox called over to him. Hey, I do remember one other thing from my vision besides seeing all that murder. I distinctively recall seeing a red hair bow on the ground, and it had caught fire.
Aurelius stared at her for a moment, still leaning in the doorway. "A red hair bow?"

"Valkyrie wears a red hair bow…" Aurelius said, his voice falling to a whisper, "Is she… is she going to die?"

"Probably," Aurelius said, his voice breaking a little, "I don't think we can afford to wait if that's literally going to kill her."

Valkyrie, after working for a while, had finished crafting Mara's armor and started on Riven's. It was dark out. She got up and went to Mara's house and knocked on the door. No one was home. With a sigh, Valkyrie began walking towards Aurelius' house with the armor slung over her shoulder. She saw Aurelius and Mara both standing in the doorway, and Riven was sitting around outside.
Aurelius had looked at her in a way she'd never been looked at before. His gaze pierced through her as if she was a ghost.
"What's up? I just finished Mara's armor. Riven's is still in the shop."
Aurelius didn't know whether to tell her what Nox had seen or not.
"Val… we need to leave."

"Probably now. I know we said two days… but it's just seeming worse and worse, and Val, one of the signs made it sound like one of us is going to get killed. We don't want that," Aurelius said.
Valkyrie's eyes widened, "I'm not done with my work yet! I wish I could've done it faster… Um, well, if we're going to be leaving tonight, will I at least have time to go gather my things?"
"Of course. Meet us back here by midnight."
Valkyrie laid Mara's armor on the table and then turned to leave.
(And I figure she can try to find Zander in the meantime and they can commence the attack earlier than planned? Partially to get plot moving?)

Valkyrie didn't even go home when she and Valhalla left.
"We have to go back to Zander. We have to let the attack get moving now."
Of course, dear. I'll get you there. He probably hasn't moved very far.
So the pair flew off to where they had met Zander earlier. Indeed, he wasn't so distant from where they had last seen him. He was resting up against a napping dragon.
"Zander, they're trying to leave tonight. The younger ones, including Mara. You said they'd be ready at any time, right? Could they be mobilized now?" Valkyrie questioned.

"They won't leave without me. I'll buy you an hour," Valkyrie promised, shaking a little.
She was about to play a hand in killing people. But it was for the good of mankind, right? It was for the good of mankind that their enemy, dragons, were hunted to extinction.
"Can you make sure they don't attack me? What's my proof that I'm with you?"

Valkyrie had yelped a little at first upon feeling the touch of hot metal, but as soon as Zander was done, she backed away calmly.
“Thanks. And if I intended to lead you astray, I would’ve killed you when we first met. I don’t exactly have time to die myself, so betrayal is pointless.”

“Good luck. I’ll be waiting,” she said, just before flying off on Valhalla.

The smith turned around. She was packing a bag.
"You've come just in time. I was getting ready to flee. My dragon has been restless for days, and well… after what you said, I kind of took both of your advice to heart. I managed to fit your sword to a hilt, though. Want to see it?"

"Good luck. Do you have any idea where you'll go?" she asked as she went over to a shelf and picked up the gleaming blade. Lydia handed it to Mara.
(Did everyone else just kind of disappear? It's been more than a week and a half since any of them responded, and I didn't want to move on without the other characters, but we could, and we could always pretend that they got separated during the attack, and when/if someone returns, they could always reunite with the group.)

(Hi! Uhhh let's see, is she with Aurelius still?)

(Even if not, we can pretend that's where she is I guess.)

(Why don't we go ahead and get it rolling? Anyone else who wants to jump back in can do so later.)
Aurelius finished making the stew and poured some into a mug for Quincy and the others who were there.
"Are you packed and ready to leave as soon as Valkyrie and Mara come back?" he asked as he served himself some. He leaned over to pass around spoons.

"Good," Aurelius replied. He ate what he had quickly, then went on to put a few last things in his bag. "Something feels… not right. The sooner we get out of here, the better."
