The next day on an unnamed floating island off to the east of Natta, sunlight filtered through the swaying leafy branches. Birds flew and landed while chirping their tune in the trees. Squirrels and rabbits scurried about in their hunt for food. The little creatures quickly hid as a large dark blue talon came down on the forest floor. The dragon advanced, looking around the moderate sized island with his yellow gaze. My master, are you awake? He questioned in their mental link with one wing curled inwards while approaching a small self-made clearing.699Please respect copyright.PENANAu9aIpnW7I4

I am. Talon responded with a rough groggy voice. The dragon approached the male that was stretching on the ground, releasing a big yawn. “What time did you get up?” he croaked and watched as the dragon set down a variety of fruits, barriers and meat.699Please respect copyright.PENANA6u7voMAJ74
699Please respect copyright.PENANAbhlL5uAIGe
I had woke just before dawn and have brought you breakfast, my master. I have already eaten so take what you like.699Please respect copyright.PENANABOFgBZZ2S8

“Thanks, I’m starving!” he grabbed a red looking pear and took a bite. His blue eyes widened and watered as he closed them tightly. He chewed through the heat, swallowed then gasped with some coughing. “What the hell is this?!” he choked out in a horse whisper.699Please respect copyright.PENANAzXqi0TiaJg
699Please respect copyright.PENANA7Itgs0qpf9
It’s a type of pear here that holds a heat common with yellow or orange peppers. They are delicious in my opinion. He used his tail to pick up one of the pears and tossed it into his large jaws. They are called pepearas given their shape and heat.699Please respect copyright.PENANAIV5x0karV5

Talon took deep breaths of the cool morning air to try and extinguish the flames biting his tongue. “Warn me next time about something like that.” He ordered sharply as is voice cracked. He coughed hard to clear it and eyed the pepearas again. He scrunched up his face and squinting his eyes, before charging lightning by speeding up the air around the fruit. “Maybe cooking it will get the heat to die down.” The dragon rolled his eyes and made himself comfy in a half curl around, from behind, Talon. Once it was cooked and steaming, the teen took a bite and enjoyed the new juicy flavor. “That helped it out so much.” He commented shortly after swallowing. “Plus it was actually enjoyable heat, unlike before.”699Please respect copyright.PENANAXTdAv8OiWv

“I’m glad you are enjoying them, Talon. I was so saddened to hear about your tragic loss to your vile sibling.” Kisa cooed with a fallen tone as she stepped closer into their clearing, her hands neatly folded on her chest over where ones heart would be.699Please respect copyright.PENANABF1mtwmHOq

The dragon snarled at the Goddess of Wind. Leave us to rest in peace, witch. He snarled in an open mental link.699Please respect copyright.PENANAk1Gn8uxxXE

Kisa shifted her gaze to the dragon, frowning. “You must learn to ease your guard, Tsugin. Without me then you would have not yet breathed the air of life outside your shell.”699Please respect copyright.PENANA6ulxo1Yj6O
699Please respect copyright.PENANAJdIMTbRHQz
I deny this naught but I request his freedom of choice be restored, so his eyes might see past your dark influences.699Please respect copyright.PENANAN4OAJUgRSp

“I don’t see what you are speaking about, beast of wings.” Kisa replied in an offended tone while dropping her hands to her sides, placing them on her hips. “I have done nothing but help aid in his quest for justice.” Her tone grew light and almost noble.699Please respect copyright.PENANAWrjrbjKvu8

Tsugin rolled his eyes with a snort of smoke out his nose. And I am the one to bring gifts to the good younglings of Aphelia. He responded sarcastically while setting his gaze on the Goddess. If I knew it could kill you then I would devour you.699Please respect copyright.PENANA8hVchBnPxd

Kisa smirked while cocking a hip to the side. “Good thing you have learned to use that small beastly brain of yours for more than just blind hunting.”699Please respect copyright.PENANAuteU2dwePK

“That’s enough from you two.” Talon finally spoke up with a cold tone, finishing off the pepearas before setting his sights on the woman. “Why have you come aside from annoying my dragon?”699Please respect copyright.PENANAQAflYIU3S5
699Please respect copyright.PENANABplfwfhtgz
One hand lifted to her chest while she faked a stunned gasp. “Why are you so suspicious of me? Why can’t I just come and visit my little warrior in training?”699Please respect copyright.PENANAsy2jtaZLTL
699Please respect copyright.PENANA1fuJKfoLmJ
“That wasn’t why you came to me before, so speak your reason or leave us be to enjoy our peace.”699Please respect copyright.PENANAsKEJnGEHkE

Kisa took a deep breath and sighed dramatically. “Oh fine!” she threw an arm up and laid it across her forehead while waving the other, almost dismissively, in front of her. The wind blew and a long package appeared with a neat little red bow on top. She lowered her arm with a heavy breath. “I brought you a gift fore if Ginsu were to appear while you deal with your sister.”699Please respect copyright.PENANAIyzfE2vjjX
699Please respect copyright.PENANA4QYnN67TS5
Talon eyed the package silently while picking up an apple and taking a bite. “Uh huh…is that so?” he questioned with some of the apple pushed into one of his cheeks as he resumed chewing. He swallowed but kept his eyes on the package. “I will give you thanks and now demand you depart.”699Please respect copyright.PENANAv925yJenD1
699Please respect copyright.PENANAvJDhGBkSTl
Kisa frowned but bowed at the waist with one arm sweeping out to her side. “Very well, my warrior, I will leave you to your breakfast. Don’t let your skills dwindle~” she sang sweetly with a small giggle before vanishing in a whirlwind of leaves and wind.699Please respect copyright.PENANAkLPOxHwXKW
699Please respect copyright.PENANAT2pRObpio9
Once she had left, Tala turned his gaze up and listened. When he heard and saw no traces of her he returned his blue sights to the box. “Burn it to ash. I do not need her toys.” He ordered as he took another bite of the apple roughly. “I can beat Alura on my own and deal with Ginsu on my own as well.”699Please respect copyright.PENANAVAFxSk5PGW
699Please respect copyright.PENANAl6WIoY7v5B
Yes, my master. Tsugin took a deep breath and released, frying the package to a crisp and did not stop until it was nothing but ash. A flash came which drew them both to curious looks. It seems the witch had a spell on the gift inside so to keep it from harm. He turned his head to look at Talon. She may present it to you once more at another date.699Please respect copyright.PENANAQCxzzxejUw

“Let her,” he responded calmly. “I’ll deny it like I have done this time and more so in the future.”699Please respect copyright.PENANATSAgbnoUhy
