"Interesting, well I'm 17." She replied

"Dragon alert," Aza said mildly and threw her blade opposite Ivy. She shot her hands out and the darkness surged toward Ivy and paralysed her.

Iris falls. Then after a moment while on the ground she starts laughing, "Oh my dear, again, I myself am a darkness. Your little darkness will not hurt me" She slowly rises, regaining her strength. "Now, you want that darkness to leave?" she then quickly runs over to Aza reaching for her arm, "Then let me help you…"

Chion's eyes flickered and opened. She scrambled away from Stella till her eyes locked with Ancro's. "Shh." he whispered. "You are safe." She unsuccessfully tried to cover her hair with her hands. We are never safe.

"Are you okay?" Stella asked the frightened girl?

Her hands slid down, releasing her long white hair as she covered her face. She nodded.

"It's been a while since anyone has asked me that question, but I will answer that. Locket," the Quesselatos looked up as he heard his name, "is what is known as a Quesselatos. They're known as tracking and hunting mounts, but also extremely loyal companions. Typically, you will most likely only see members of my species with a Quesselatos. Which brings me onto my next topic, myself - or my species." Looking around, Mos answered. "I'm a Ruvyr. The Ruvyr live in tribes, or several travelling groups. Sometimes even big cities. But we're a very hidden, often secretive race."

"It's part of the reason why I left my species in the first place. I'm still at good terms with them, but I wished to see the world. The Ruvyr are otherwise also known for taming creatures of all types." Mos paused. "My name is Mosquiltos, but most call me Mos."

The male listened, eyes continuing to glow softly in the darkness of his helmet. Those were indeed names he had never heard before. He seemed ever more fascinated, despite his face being hidden.
"Hm, intriguing, can't say I have ever heard of your creature or your kind Miss Mos."
Having her introduce herself, he felt it was only proper to respond, "The name's Razorik, a valravn. As for my own kind, we're mostly solitary creatures. Often seen as bad luck and ill omens among humans, so we tend to keep to ourselves."

Stella gave a small smiled, "Good. Are you well enough to move miss…" She paused, "I don't believe I caught your name."

She gave a pointed look at Ancro. "She is not going to tell you," he said.
"She is not- she does not-" Chion glared at them both, her eyes like iron
"Give her some food," Ancro said, "She might trust you more then."

Stella handed her a mango and an apple, "Here."

Chion slowly stuck out her hand. Then snatched the fruit away and began to tear into it.

Stella looked surprised then smiled slowly.

Ancro sat next to her and held her hand. See? She is safe.

"Get your hands off me." Aza gritted her teeth and light blazed outward from her skin, piercing the darkness and making her slowly turn a brilliant white.

Stella listened to the forest sounds and took a deep breathe.

Iris saw the light, and backed up the tiniest bit, letting the corruption stop. As the light grows stronger Iris backs up more. Then slowly, as Iris is calmer, Ivy kicks in. Let me have control, she yelled in her head. After another moment, every part of Ivy is back, her hands no longer an ombre, and her eyes back to their normal hue. She then falls to the ground.

Aza's hair, skin, eyes, everything was shining, pure, whole, without darkness. After a few minutes, the light faded, and she was back to her normal colors.

"That would make sense; to keep to yourselves. It is rather unfortunate that humans see your kind as bad omens, however. I can say the same for you; I haven't seen any of your kind before. So I suppose that makes two of us, then."

Ivy stays on the ground, shaking. Looking at the ground she says, "I'm so sorry, oh god I'm so sorry." A few tears role down her face when she looks over to Aza, "Did she…. are you…." A few more tears role down and Ivy looks back at the ground. "Did she take the darkness from you…?"

"Hmph. No. I'm fine. It's not your fault. Believe me, I should know." Aza offered her a hand.

Ivy slowly took Aza's hand, lifting her up. Still looking at the ground Ivy quietly says, "I'm so stupid. I should've never come here." She then slowly starts walking away, still a little weary.

"No. Please don't leave. I could-" Aza cleared her throat. "I could use your help. If you're willing to give it."

"So it would seem."
He lifted his hands towards his head, settling his hands on either side of the helm. He then slowly lifted the armor off of his head. Once the helmet was removed, appeared a man. His hair was deep black, his skin a darker tone. The male's golden eyes were now clearly seen. Twined in his hair was a long, black feather, one of his own.
"There are always new things in this world. Things I need to catch up on," he chuckled softly.

Ivy stops. After a moment of thinking she turns around. "Okay… I'll help you. Even though I might not be that much help"

"Thank you!" Aza smiled and held out her arm, Dezaley alighting on it.

Walking over to a tree Ivy sits down and leans on it. "So, how exactly do you want me to help you?"

Aza rolled her eyes. "First, we gotta get outta here. Then, I have to go find my-" Aza paused. "-my brother."

"Well, of course we gotta get out of this forest," Ivy stands and starts walking a little bit, motioning Aza to follow so they can find a way out. "Wait, your brother…?" She says, stopping again to look at Aza. She has family…
