Saira's Home

[Blackwerewolflady]

[Blackwerewolflady]

The three women land outside a small cottage, and Kressara lets go of Rini's hand. "Saira!" Cadenza calls out, looking around the house. "You home?" she calls.

[missyblu]

Rini's knees almost buckle as she lands back on the ground. She looks around the area, in awe that she didn't know of this village. She wonders what Saira is like, wondering if she is special like the Dragoons.

[Blackwerewolflady]

A young woman walks out of the back, looking around. "Mom?" she calls looking around.



Seeing the three women, the girl walks over. "Mom," she says, a smile on her face. "And you brought Kressara, and..." she trails off looking over at Rini. "Who are you?" she asks.

[missyblu]

Rini hears a strange female's voice and watches as she comes into view and walks over to them. "My name is Rini," she says meekly, feeling slightly intimidated.

[Blackwerewolflady]

"I'm Saira, Cadenza's daughter. It's nice to meet you Rini," Saira says, holding out a hand to the young woman. Cadenza smiles slightly, glad to see Saira trying to make the young girl comfortable. Kressara jumps up and down slightly, "She's a new trainee."

[missyblu]

"You as well Saira," Rini replies, taking her hand gently. She chuckles and smiles as Kressara jumps up and down, "Yup, what she said."

[Blackwerewolflady]

Saira nods and turns to Cadenza. "The first of many, one can only hope." she replies, a smile on her face. "Welcome to the ranks, I'll be the one to answer any questions you may have. Though I may not be a dragoon, chosen by a spirit such as you, dragoon magic runs in my veins via birthright," she explains to Rini. "So I am able to do magic like you will be able too, just not to the strength like my mother can do."

[missyblu]

Rini nods as Saira explains, many of her questions answered so quickly. "Thank you Saira. What kind of magic can you do?"

[Blackwerewolflady]

Saira smiles, "Since dragoon blood flows through my veins, I am able to use every element of magic that the dragoons themselves can use. Which a lot of them find odd, being that I am human as well. I am the only child of a dragoon and a human in recorded history." she explains, looking at her mother, who nodded confirming what she had said.

[missyblu]

"Wow," Rini exclaims, surprised about Saira's heritage. "The only one? That must be interesting."

[Blackwerewolflady]

Saira nods, "It can be, but it's also very lonely," she says, her smile faltering slightly. "Any way, what brings you to my cottage Rini?" she asks, crossing her arms slightly, and looking at Rini with interest.

[missyblu]

Rini feels saddened by Saira's sudden change in emotion. A slight sense of pity for Saira overcomes her. Rini notices the change in subject, and goes with it, "Kressara and your mother mentioned your name, and that you would be able to help me if I needed it, because this is all completely new to me. And honestly, slightly overwhelming."

[Blackwerewolflady]

"I can understand that," Saira replies. "I felt the same way when it was all brought up to me as well." Looking over to her mother, a flash of sadness swarms her face, but it was gone as quickly as it came. "Is there anything you need help with as of right now? If not, I think you should go acquaint yourself with the other dragoons and get to know them. Even though you're training with Kressara, doesn't mean you can't get to know the others. They can help you if you really need it."

[missyblu]

Rini lets out a sigh of relief. "Glad to hear that I'm not the only one who was overwhelmed by all of it." She notices the change in Saira's face and wonders why she was so sad, but dismisses it quietly, since Saira's demeanor changed back so quickly. "I don't think I need anything at the moment," she replies, shaking her head. "But, I think that's probably a good idea," she adds, wanting to leave Saira alone, feeling that's what she needed right now.
