Bringtor Plains

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *exiting the village path then walk out onto a large field, no more trees in sight, just a huge open field with a few trails, and mountains in the horizon "well this is it... bringtor plains"

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: "Its beautiful..."

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods "yea it is... " he spoke standing there, for a moment he seemed to be lost in a day dream.. but not a pleasent one, his eyes narrowed as he rememberd when the flower feilds where nothing but dirt and fire.... and the battles where the people of bringtor lay dead all over the field, with him standing in the middle.. he shakes some before smileing "..anyways shall we?"

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: "Sure...are you ok?"

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods "yea, sorry flash back" he spoke softly before he begain to walk

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: "Is there another way we can take? That would make it less...painful?" *She looked at him*

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *smiles to her "dont worry ill be ok, this is the only way... and to be perfectly honist there isnt many places that wouldnt bring back some type of memories for me...but the past is the past.. i cant change what i did...." he smiled

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Smiles* "I understand...but thankfully, the past is behind us...and each day is a chance to try again."

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *smiles softly and nods "i agree.." he spoke as they walked

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Smiles* "So, how long have you been here?"

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *shrugs "i dunno been a few years since i moved back here now..." he spoke softly looking to her then back to the trail ahead

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: "I see...I'm sorry, if you don't want to talk about this...we can talk about other things."

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *shakes his head "no thats fine dont worry about it, ill tell you anything you wanna know... i may regret what ive done.. but its who i am...so ill be honist with you"

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Smiles at him* "Ok."

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *smiles softly to her before looking forwards again as they walk along

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Takes off her coat and carries it* "The weather is so nice here, I'll have to make some different shirts..."

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *looks to her "you make your own cloths?"

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: "Yes, I always have...it makes it easier to hide things that I don't want seen..." *She sighs*

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods some "makes sence" he said softly as they walk "you dont have a problem sleeping outside i hope?"

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: "Not at all...I have for years...it's very nice, as long as it doesn't rain too hard."

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods "if the night is anything like the afternoon is currently we should be sitting pretty good" he spokes as they walked "i wasnt lieing when i said it was gonna take a few days... and well there arnt any inns along the way"

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Laughs* "I'm used to it...Been doing it forever.."

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nod some as they walk down the trail "alright then"

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Sighs*

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *looking to dracona "whats wrong?"

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: "Hmm? Oh, sorry, just...memories."

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods "yea memories can suck sometimes" he spoke softly "hmm where has the day gotten to... its already getting dark..." stopping he looks around before motioning for her to follow him as he heads off the trail "..we will make camp here"

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Follows him*

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *after finding a nice spot off the trail somewhere "this will do" he spoke before pushing down the grass and setting up sticks in a pile... speaking somthing in old elvish the sticks burst into flames "there we go..."

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Puts her coat back on and sits next to the fire*

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *setting the back pack aside, he seats himself infront of the fire as well

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Lays back and looks at the stars that are starting to peak out*

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *pokeing the fire with a stick "so... what is your real reason for comeing here.... i cannot beleave your just a traveler... no one leaves their home with out a reason..."

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Sighs* "You're right...to be totally honest, they didn't want me anymore...I didn't like their way of doing things, so I rebelled."

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods "i see, and they just let you go?....or are you being hunted? like me?"

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: "They think I'm dead...which is probably the only reason that they aren't hunting me. The one they sent to get me...well..didn't kill me, for...reasons." *She blushes*

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods some "a lover?... intereasting" he spoke softly

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Blushes* "You could say that...it was a very long time ago, though..."

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *poking the fire with a stick "you be a dragon, i cannot knowingly say im older then you, cause i know that wouldnt be correct. but im old enuff.... ive had enuff lovers in my life to understand the complications they can bring in your life.... is there a reason this particular lover did not leave with you?"

2007-11-13 [nightrosa]: Dracona: "They didn't know we were together...if he hadn't gone back to them after they sent him for me, they would have known.  They would have hunted us both down and killed us. So he went back." *She takes a deep breath* "He said that if he could ever get away, he would come and find me....that was so long ago..."

2007-11-13 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *looks over at her "...im sorry that happend to you.. its never a good feeling to be pushed away by your own people..... and then, that ontop of everything else..." he spoke pokeing the fire again

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: "He didn't do it to be cruel...he did it to save me. I would have done the same to him." *She smiles* "I'm a bit of a troublemaker, at least by most people's standards..."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *smiles some "i wasnt refering to him not comeing with you as him being cruel.... i was merly stateing... loseing a lover by death... or by any other situation, is still a horriable feeling to add to what was already happening with you"

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: "But it has been so long now...and I doubt that he's alive anymore...we were both always in trouble in some way or another..." *Sighs* "We were disappointments in every way possible for our people."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods "i dont see why, you dont seem, like much of a trouble maker to me..." he spoke softly

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Laughs, then sits up and looks at Shinomori* "Well, we weren't what we were raised to be...we didn't do anything expected of us..."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods "..i see, so it was a rather strict society then..." he responded looking to her

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Laughs* "Defiantly...I'll tell you more if you want...but I warn you now, it's a very long story."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods "we have still got a long way to go.. im sure we have time for a long story or two" he spoke softly

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Smiles, then sighs* "Ok then, but if I bore you, just tell me."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *shakes his head "i assure you, you wont bore me... " he spoke softly to her, as he reached into his bag and pulled out some fruit, takeing a pieace for himself then lightly tossing the bag of fruit next to her

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Rummages through the bag, and pulls out another apple.* "Well, marriages are pre-arranged, before we're born. When we reach the age of...marriage, we are expected to happily settle down and marry, and produce lots of children. Our leaders basically wanted to "grow" an army...pardon the expression..."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods "oh i understand that concept very well, grow an army... the imperialsts where the same way.... they dont pre arange marriages.. your free to marry whom ever... but when you do marry... a nobleman has first dibs on your wife for the night.. and the offspring produced this way would go directly to the imperial training camp.... this is why trintonia far out ways any other nations as far as number of troops..."

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Nods* "Well, after we marry, we are expected to produce at least one child every three years...for as long as possible. Which is a lot." *Takes a bite of the apple* And, my friend and I hated the idea. We always talked about how things should be...and then all hell broke loose."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *biting the pieace of fruit he had, he poked the fire "by all hell breaking lose... you meen you decided to not put up with anymore im guessing?"

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Eats her apple* "Well, he is older than me, but women are married younger, so that more children can be produced. It was about 4 months before I was supposed to be married to this other man. He was killed. Everyone thought is was either me or my friend. We were both tortured."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *sighs "assumptions, really can screw things up.... going threw torture is never an easy thing... most peoples spirit and resolve break before they die... and it most cases, thats as good as being dead"

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Nods* "Well, they didn't really know what they were doing, so the scars are just physical. You can see, if you want..." *Shivers* "So, after we were tortured, they kept a close eye on us. That's when they found out that we were...involved."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *tossing the core of his apple into the fire ".. and they didnt like that to much i take it? two people involved with each other, that they didnt set up?"

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Nods* "So, they thought up of the worst thing they could...threaten him. They told him that he had to kill me, and bring them proof..or they would take care of it. And by that, they meant that they would kill me in front of him, then kill him." *Continues eating the apple*

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *with that he stared at the fire for a second, flash back of mays blood hitting his face, his eyes closed "....trust me... with everything thats happend, be glad that he didnt have to see that.... watching the one you love die infront of your eyes.... its somthing you never forget...."

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Finishes her apple* "Well, he took me out to the woods, and told me their plans. Obviously they wanted proof of my death...so he had no choice...he spilled my blood. It was the worst feeling ever..."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods "i understand... its hard. and im sorry that has happend to you..." he looks up from the fire at her "continue..."

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: "Its ok. When you're as old as I am, there's a lot of things you want to forget." *Sighs* "So, I left. He went back, and showed them what he had done. What he actually did was take a chunk of my wing..." *Stares into the fire*

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *sighs some looking into the fire as well "its horriable what some people make others do....." he spoke pokeing the fire again with his stick

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Looks at Shinomori* "Please don't think anything bad of him...he had to. What he did was actually brilliant. He took some of my clothes and burned them, and smeared the ashes on the part of my wing he took...he made it look like he burned me, so that they would never get suspicious about it." *Sighs* "So obviously, I can never go back. It would mean instant death for both of us. But he promised that if he could ever find a way to get away from them, he would find me."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *smiles "do not worrry, i understand fully why he did what he did..... for me to look bad on him, you whould have to actualy be dead right now..." he spoke softly

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Smiles* "That's true...but at the time I left, he and a group of friends were planning something...and I don't know if they ever succeeded. I was to be a part of it, but with what happened....I couldn't. And it's been so long now...I just wonder sometimes, what he's doing...if he remembers me" *Tears shimmer in her eyes*

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *was suddenly besider her, smileing softly down at her, as he gently wipes away her tears "im sure he does..." he spoke softly to her

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Smiles* "Thank you...I hope so too. Hell, I hope he's still alive...it's been a very long time since I've heard from any of them..."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *smiles and nods "im sure he is...youll see him again, one day" he spoke softly, kneeling there beside her

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Smiles weakly* "I hope so..." *Leans on his shoulder*

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *eyes widens some for a second, unsure of what to do when she leaned on his shoulder, before, hugging her gently

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Hugs Shimomri back.* "Thank you for listening..."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods "hey, who better to understand someones pain... then someone who has alot of it himself?"

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: "I'm sorry if I've brought up any bad memories...It's just...you're the first person I've been able to talk to about this." *Looks into his eyes* "Thank you"

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *smiles softly looking back at her "hey.. its no problem.. you didnt stir up anything that wasnt already in my mind to begin with.. i was happy to listen... and talk to you about it"

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona:*Smiles* "So, that's the basics on me. If you want anything specific, just ask."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *sitting down beside her "no i made you bring up enuff" he spoke softly to her

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Smiles at him* "You didn't make me, it just came...not that you didn't have an idea. My scars are quite obvious...it's a bit apparent that life hasn't been that easy."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods "yea..." he spoke softly to her as he looked into the fire "... your welcome here as long as you want..." he looke over at her "... i dunno if its comforting to you at all.. but your safe here..." he spoke softly looking back to the fire

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: "It is, after being on the run for so long." *She glances at him* "Do you know of any place I could get sewing supplies?"

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods "yea we can pick some up in the city.... im sure they have somthing"

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Smiles* "Thank you...kind of an out of place question, but I was just thinking."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *shakes his head "no i understand, you need it to make new cloths if your gonna hang around for a while"

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Nods* "Exactly...People tend to treat you differently when you look like me...they either avoid you or try to baby you...I hate both of them. I want someone to see me for me, not what they think they see through a bunch or marks..."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *shakes his head "no... i see you for you.. i understand and relate to your situation, but at the same time you seem to be doing fine on your own... however you are welcome here..." he spoke softly "...your safe her.. and while i know you can take of yourself... i will also protect you if need be...."

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Looks at him* "I know, and thank you...the offer means a lot...no one has ever given a damn about me. At least not since I left..."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *smiles softly "your welcome" he spoke to her before returning his gaze to the fire

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Lays back and looks at the stars* "So..."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *looking back at her "hmm?" he responded to her

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Laughs* "I'm sorry, my mind wandered off" *looks up at him*

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *layed back looking up at the start with her "oh? what about?" he asked

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Sighs* "That I haven't felt this comfortable with another person in ages..." *She turned and looked at him* "You are the first person to not ask to see my scars...but even if you want to, you're not like everyone else. They all think I'm some kind of freak. But you...you know I'm not."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *looks to her "you wanna see somthing" he sits up and lifts his shirt up... revealing a huge fatal looking scar accross his stomach "your not the only one with scars... i understand them... and dont think you are a freak.... " pulling his shirt back down, he plops back down on the ground next to her

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Her eyes widen* "Shouldn't that have killed you? And is that a challenge?" *She laughs* "...Would you like to see some of mine?"

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *laughs and nods "should have killed me yes.. but i have a pretty strong will in battle..." he spokes softly and shrugs "sure if you wanna show me"

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: "Ok...you asked for it" *Turns her back to him and pulls up the back of her shirt. Scars run every direction, all different sizes.* "My back is the worst, but there are more..."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods "damn those are pretty bad..." he spoke "to be truthfully honist... i should have more myself... but well my aesir blood... it dosent like to leave scars but some... like that one there" he points to his stomach "are so bad even i get the scar"

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona:*Laughs* "I'm not surprised, you seem like someone who might...no offense." *She turned around to face him again.*

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *smiles and shakes his head "none taken... i am what i am.... and what i use to be, was a rather dangerous job..."

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *leans on him again* "Today, just living can be dangerous, unfortunately..."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *smiles some glanceing at her for a second when she leaned on him before looking into the fire "i agree... we've been in dark times for quite some time now.... all you can do though is live day by day"

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona:*Smiles* "That's very true" *Looks up at him* "Am I making you uncomfortable? I don't mean to keep touching you, it's just...I haven't had normal human contact in a while, and it's kind of enjoyable..."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *shakes his head "no, i myself am just not use to as well" he smiles some "i rather enjoy it"

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Smiles at him* "It seems that we may be very much alike..." *Rests her head on his shoulder*

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods "yea in certain ways, i think your right" he spoke as they sat there

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: "And I forgot to say...sorry about your son." *she lays on her back, looking up at him*

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *stareing into the fire "that was one of the hardest things ive had to do...... but while i knew deep down you could win... i still didnt know you.. and wouldnt be able to live with myself if i watched my son kill you"

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: "Thank you." *She reaches out to touch his arm.* "It meant a lot."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *he smiles and nods some looking to her, then back to the fire

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Stretches and turns on her side* "Well, I'm a little sleepy...guess I'll see you in the morning"  *She shuts her eyes* "Goodnight, Shinmori..."

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods and smiles softly "good night dracona" he spoke softly, tending to the fire, before laying back himself. and closeing his eyes

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Opens her eyes as the first rays or sunlight dance across the sky. She looks over at Shinomori and smiles. She sits up and finds the bag of fruit, taking out a piece and eating it*

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *he smiles hearing her move, stretching some he sits up "morning, sleep well?" he asked looking to her

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Smiles* "I did, thank you." *Takes another bite of fruit* "Did you?"

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *nods "yea i did" he spoke softly reaching over to take the bag and grab a pieace of fruit out for himself as well

2007-11-14 [nightrosa]: Dracona: *Stands up and stretches* "So how much farther? Just out of curiosity..." *Yawns*

2007-11-14 [snowwolfsa]: Shinomori: *biteing the pieace of fruit he smiles "about another day and ahalf walk.. we will be camping out one more time.... before we hit the city"
