The shrill sound of a pa system announces the arrival,departure and delays of flights to a mass of people hustling about,with each announcement some people look elated that their own journey is just beginning or coming to a end others frustrated or just stoically accepting theirs have been halted through it all the roar of jet turbine engines adds to the chaos that is a major airport.
Admist the mass of people a young man very sharply dressed in a business suit with a very nice looking leather duster draped across his left arm moves through the mass in not a hurried but simple walking motion,as he passes most the women stop to give a look of approval while most the men stop to give a snort of contempt.The man makes his way to a huge set of glass doors with a bright red "EXIT" sign above them stopping just short of the doors the man stops and reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a pair of trendy looking sunglasses and puts them on.
Looking at the young man even in the suit you can tell he has a slight muscular build and with his short cropped black hair, strong features he would be described as no less then handsome perhaps more so depending on the person.
The man after the short pause continues his way to and past the exit doors,once outside he comes to a pause once again to scan the line of taxi cabs before him.He starts to raise his right hand to signal a unoccupied cab but before he can get his hand up all the way a cab come to rest by the curb beside him as the door opens and the driver says "please have a seat and tell me where ya want to go buddy."

The young man pauses a second to straighten his tie and smooth his dress jacket out before entering the cab once inside he gives the driver a once over.The cab driver appears to be a older gentleman with a slightly blading hair,dark brown eyes and a ready smile on his face.
"Take me to the town of Ossidian and a hotel there." the young man states.The smile quickly disappears off the cab drivers face once he hears the stated destination."Ossidian", the cab driver slowly says..."But sir you don't want to go there!! Tis a cursed place that town is!!" A small frown comes to the face of the young man as the cab driver goes on about how wrong the town is and how he should go someplace else.
"Listen!" the young man states in a slightly raised voice,"I don't care what you think is wrong with the town.What does matter is the company i work for says i go there so there i go.Only question is for you is do i get another cab to take me there?"
"Alright... alright!" the cab diver exclaims."I take you there but you just watch yourself young sir I'm telling you that town ain't right!!"
"Duely noted" the young man replies in a dry voice."I'd like to be in a inn be dark so let's get a move on then shall we?"
The cab driver snorts as he puts the taxi in gear and takes off out of the airport. "Your gonna regret this trip kid." he softly says as a comment to himself. The young man ever so slightly tilts his head in a manner that suggest he herd what the cab driver said.

The cab turns onto a major freeway from the airport and zooms along with traffic.The cab driver continues to mutter all the while the young man seemly uninterested lazily rest his head the window gazing at the vehicles that they pass or get passed by,not long after it would seem sleep overtakes him...........
A small boy who appears to be no more then three is holding a kendo stick in a very meager defensive stance,a speaker who can not be seen talks "just because your a child do you think that alone will save you from those that wish you harm?" the speaker yells "Defend yourself!!" ,another kendo stick sails into view the child attempts a parry maneuver but the attack easily overpowers it and the child gets roughly smacked in the face.............
Time seems to rush forward as a young boy of seven or eight holding a kendo stick is surrounded by a host of young men similarly wielding kendo sticks,the same unknown speaker seems to be addressing the assembled group.."ready yourselves students..Trent do you have each attackers number memorized?" The young boy nods as the host of young men from a perfect circle around him and the speaker continues.."very good then this is to be defensive exercise,I want you to parry all the attacks made against you they will be called in random groups against you...understand?" Trent nods his head once again as his face takes on a look of fierce determanation..."good we begin!"...."Five Three Seven..." the unknown speaker yells.In unison the young men who are said numbers launch a attack at young Trent....each find their attacks to be parried..............
The sound of brakes brining the cab to a screeching halt can be herd as the cab driver is franticly screaming.."You get out!! get out!!" Trent jerks to wake at the sound of the brakes and the screaming,"What's wrong?!" the cab driver somewhat calms down.."A monster..a monster is out there i seen it and you..you were the one who wanted to comes to this place even tho i told you better now get out!!" Tent begins to peer out the windows of the cab and sighs.."I see nothing now take a deep breath and let's get a move on"..."NO!" the cab driver yells "I'm going no further if you want to get to Ossidian then your going to walk!" he cab driver leans over to his glove box..opens it and pulls out a pistol pointing it at Trent."Whoa!" Trent exclaims "No need to shoot me i get the point,I'm getting out." Tent exits the cab and begins to slowly walk away from it..the cab immediately goes into reverse as the cab driver finds a spot to turn around and head back up the road.Trent looks at the departing cab and shakes his head, then he tuns to regard a sign stating Ossidian seven miles..."great...just great" Trent mutter to himself as he flips his duster over his shoulder and begins to walk.

Fallow soared high over the town and out towards the forest. He had been passing messages and hovering over the castle for so long, he needed to be free for just a while. He circled around and made his way back, enjoying the peace and freedom only a solo flight could give him. He loved his partner Narym fiercely. But just as she needed solitude occaisionally, so did he. He began to lower his height, wondering where the local hunting grounds may be and flew over the busy roads. For his amusement he flew lower and began to race a solitary vehicle, which had just left the main stream of traffic, heading towards Ossidian. He whizzed by, huffing as the driver swerved and came to a stop. Then as he began to turn, he saw that a man had climbed out of the vehicle and was left alone as it drove away. Have I caused this mans abandonment? he wondered with chagrin. He flew lower, making sure that the man could see him, then he landed nearby. He could not speak out loud to the man, so he lowered his head to show he was no danger and waited to see if the man would understand that he was offering him a ride.

As Trent begins his walk he is well aware of the beast that is preparing to land before him,slipping his coat on all the while cursing in a few different languages he awaits the landing of the magnificent beast.
Trent tilts his head to look at the dragon all the while thinking to himself..."seconds that's all i have is seconds..well first off cower or be very polite....polite i have never cowered in my life and i won't do so in my death."Trent lets out a small sigh and mutters out loud.."Dear gods thank you ever so much if you ever want a good laugh again please free free to use me."
The dragon lands before Trent and lowers his head,taking a step back Trent offers a bow and states.."Greetings mighty wyrum to what do i owe the pleasure of this visit?"

Fallow huffs. He lowers his wings and then his head, acknowledging the man's respectful greeting. How to let the human know that he is willing to bear him where he wants to go? He turns slowly, for he is a large dragon indeed, showing his back to the man. He looks over his shoulder and then returns to his original position, facing him. He moves a little closer and stretches out a leg for the man to climb up on. And tilts his head. ' Whither wouldst thou go?' he asks, knowing the man cannot hear him, but hoping that, if he is going to Ossidian, then his senses may be stronger than his outward appearence would suggest.

Trent shakes his head a little as he lets out a small chuckle and speaks in a strange slow grating voice "I thank you very much for the offer of a ride,dragon flight is not a offer you give to humans or most other kinds very often." Trent offers another bow and still in the strange language, "I must apologize for my pronunciation of the draconian tongue but i only use it in the presence of my err umm mistress..Skye who for your kind is very attractive and single i may add." Trent gives the dragon a very sheepish smile and speaking normally again "I am very sorry but i had to throw that one out there but I am remiss tho,as to where i would like to go..a town called Ossidian is my destination." Trent walks over to the dragon and nimbly climbs on to his back, "If you can a place i can stay preferably with some food and a cute redhead or just to the town." Trent gives the dragon a nice firm pat and awaits what is next to come with a very broad grin on his face.

Fallow huffs his approval at the mans speaking in his own tongue and replies in kind. " If you would like to climb up, I will take you to Ossidian." Once the man is on his back, Fallow takes off. " I am staying outside the town myself, " Fallow continues. " At the castle with my partner Narym and some others." He senses the man's interest. " Cassandra has taken over the castle now." The man remains silent, and so Fallow asks with an attempt at nonchalance, " Skye did you say? And is she nearby?"

Trent leans back to let the night air wash over him as the dragon tells him of his partner and the new mistress of the castle and Ossidian,letting out a long profound sigh and all he while thinking to himself..."Damnit people in the castle already.....have they found it or him?!" leaning forward again Trent speaks "Sorry to interrupt my large friend as interesting as this Narym and friends sound I must confess i know not a single person you have mentioned so far,further more it was to my understanding that a Kratos? not this Cassandra that is ruler of the castle,town and country." Trent leans back to enjoy the night air once again. "Please go on and as for my companion I'm sure she'll show up to check on her "toy" before my business here is concluded."

Fallow circles the castle and gives his rider a good view of the repair work going on. " Nay, the mistress is Cassandra. I am aware of the man you name, but he has not been seen for some time." He circles again. This man has caught his interest now and he has a wish to keep his eye on him a while longer. "Do you wish to make yourself known to her?"

Trent lets out a low whistle as the dragon circles rounds to show him the reconstruction work...."The fighting was just as bad as the media reports have indicated then is the town in general as bad?"

" The town was largely unaffected", Fallow informs him. "Some looting by some of the routed villains was soon stopped. As you see, Cassandra has the restoration under way." The dragon is aware that the man is avoiding talking of Cassandra and is intrigued to know why. "I will land if you wish and you may view the castle up close."

Realizing the dragon's intent Trent shakes his head..."That won't be necessary my large friend I have seen enough,firstly i need to get to a inn and some food and a pretty lass or two to look at would be nice,secondly and most importantly my belongings did not make it here with me, gotta love airports, but i should have them here tomorrow early afternoon at the latest." Trent pauses as the dragon does another circle of the castle, "So if i could get one last favor from you? let this miss Cassandra or queen or what ever title she wishes to go by that a representative or the Delphi corporation wishes a audience with her tomorrow late afternoon at her convenience of course."

Fallow alters his direction and flies the man to the outskirts of the town." I will indeed advise Cassandra of your arrival and request for an audience," he agrees. " The inn is a short distance from here, the other side of this grassy area." He waits while the man climbs down from his back. " I expect she will send a messenger to advise you if she is agreeable to a meeting." He lowers his huge head and fixes the man with his steely gaze as if searching his thoughts. Then, as the man moves to a safe distance, the dragon takes flight and returns to the castle, to deliver the message to Cassandra.
