" I found him in a cave just outside my village. Uh, what exactly is a drake?" Mara was now extremely curious to know exactly what Riven is, if he's not fully dragon then what is he?

"They're not incredibly different from dragons, but they cannot fly. They are incredibly powerful in their own right though; they are very fast and strong. It's not every day a drake chooses to be with a human, though," he said.
"You have books on drakes though, correct?" Aurelius questioned, "I believe Mara said she wants to do more research."
The elder nodded.

"Sorry buddy, looks like you're only fast and strong." Mara patted Riven on the back. "That's not entirely a bad thing though, it means you can definitely out run normal dragons." Riven just looked at the ground, he wasn't happy about the results, but whatever.

"We don't know a lot about drakes compared to other dragons," the elder continued, "so there could be more to it than that. Again, they don't choose to be with humans often, so there's some speculation that they have wisdom much greater than their flying counterparts. It's hard to say with as little human interaction as there has been."
"We could always go on a trip to the east to study them," Aurelius suggested.
A few of the elders laughed at him. Valkyrie shot him a look.

"I would love too!" Mara wasn't sure why the elders were laughing at Aurelius, he didn't say anything funny. "I want to find more like Riven."

"Oh, come on!" Aurelius shouted, "We don't know things, we do research on them! It's the way science works. And you don't want to send me? Fine. Just send the people you do trust, dammit! No need to take it out on them!"
The elders were quiet for a moment.

"What's going on?" Mara was confused and concerned for Aurelius at the moment. Something about not trusting him I'm guessing. This is the first time in a while that Rivennhas talked. He was so quiet when they came in.

"Don't… don't worry about it…" Aurelius muttered, obviously flustered and angry.
The first elder who had spoken smiled at Mara. "Worry not. We'll help you settle in, and in time, we'll help you plan for a trip to discover new information about the drakes. It's probably better that before you do something like that, you train with us and that you and Riven learn each other better. Besides, that will allow some time for researching in our library so you have some base knowledge on what you might encounter."

"True, but I don't think I need much training, me and Riven get along great actually." And mara knows how to fight, it may not be the best because she is self taught. There was just something about the elders that gave her a bed feeling, maybe it was because of the way they just treated Aurelius, but there was something there. And she knew Riven could feel it as well.

"Well, do we have a place for her to stay?" Aurelius asked, trying to change the subject.
"Yes, there are empty homes on the east side of town, specifically for new residents."
"That's near where I live," Valkyrie said, "I can show her around over there."

"Thank you." Mara followed behind Valkyrie and hoped this feeling would go away. She didn't want to be suspicious of anyone, but she couldn't help it. Riven nudged her back, he could feel everything she could, she forgot about that.

Quincy followed out behind Mara and Valkyrie, "Hey Mara. If you ever need someone to help out with researching feel free to come see me. I spend way to much time in the library anyway."

"Quincy, do you want to go ahead to the library while they find her house? We can go ahead and get some books out to give her a bit of a head start," Aurelius suggested.

Quincy nodded with a slight smile, "Of course. Come on Jade, we've got some researching to do!"

You are way to excited for this.

"That would help me a lot. Thank you." She smiled before leaving the building still following Valkyrie. So my kind isn't even around here? Riven wondered how he made it all the way over here, if his kind was somewhere else. "Its fine Riven, we'll find more like you."

Aurelius stepped outside and told Nox to come on with him and Quincy.
"We're going to the library to research drakes."
Oh, so that's what he is! Nox said excitedly.
Aurelius nodded and started walking towards the library, which was next door to the Hall of Elders.

Meanwhile, Valkyrie started to lead Mara towards the newer housing.
"There are a few vacant homes towards the end of the street. You can pick whichever one, and stay there, at least for now. We'll have to take it up with the Residency Official so you can get a house key and establish a home as your own. It's not as hard a process as it sounds, though."

"Oh, um thank you." Mara walked down the road a bit farther and saw a smaller tan house that looked cozy. "I like that one." She pointed to the house that was at the end of the road. It had a small little fenced in area she could have her own little garden in.

(Idk what to do)

(Maybe go to the library with Aurelius and Quincy? Or you could go with Val and Mara. It really doesn't matter.)

"That one's empty," Valkyrie confirmed, "It's actually right across the street from my place."
Valkyrie pointed to the cobblestone house across from the tan one. It was a little smaller, as was the garden, but to Valkyrie, that was less house to take care of.

"So, do we go talk to someone or do we wait here?" Mara leaned against her house and Riven laid down at her feet. It was strange being in a new place, but she liked it.
