Thread: An Omen From Above (Greeneyed23 & darkangel76)

Carys tilted her head slightly, her eyebrows knitting together as she frowned. She could sense both Luke's and Orrin's uneaseespecially Luke'stheir hackles rising by the second as the moments passed as they stood there waiting to pass by what seemed to be a wreckage of sortsa warped and mangled mess of something strange and mystical that had fallen from the heavens. Luke snarled a bit, his muscles going tense as his streaked fur stood on end. Carys reached down to pet him, her fingers tangling themselves within tufts of soft fur. Immediately, the beast released some of his tension, however he remained forever on his guard. It was clear that he was more than displeased with their current situation, but given things was ready to adapt as needed. Night wouldn't last forever nor would fear keep the villagers of Eire at bay forever. It was only a matter of time and he knew his charge only had so much of that. Purring loudly, his amber eyes scrutinizing the wreckage, Orrin stayed close to Carys. His body touched her at all times as he glanced about, scales rising and moving with every shift he made in his stance. He was trying to assess the new visitor, the one who'd fallen from the sky. Was he friend or enemy? Angel or demon? Too many questions and no answers yet to satisfy. My companions will not harm you, sir, if I do not wish it, Carys spoke, her voice soft. She could hear Luke almost chuckling as a low rumbling growl escaped him. He comes at you or threatens you... I most certainly will harm him, Luke snarled, his luminous blue eyes flashing harshly in the darkness. Carys looked down at Luke and bit her bottom lip. Shh... she said softly as she pet the wolf-like beast. Looking back up at the man who introduced himself as Roland, she gave him a warm smile, giggling nervously. He's a bit agitated, she added, her pale cheeks turning a bit red. Orrin's purrs became louder, his mouth appearing to almost look as if he were smiling. Carys could feel her tummy fluttering as a wave of heat swept over her as embarrassment tried to consume her. Truly both Luke and Orrin could be insufferable. Though thankfully, this newly arrived visitor seemed none the wiser to their thoughts. So, please, have no fear, sir. I promise you that my companions will not harm you so long as you give them no reason to, Carys said again, trying to sound reassuring. Though, we must move quickly away from these mountains. They won't be safe for much longer. Eleni let out a soft cry. Eire will wake and the people with it. I can already smell their fear. As can I, Luke added. Orrin nodded in agreement. Please, we must not linger. When the star rises and daylight comes, we will no longer have the protection of darkness. We must move. Carys looked pleadingly at Roland, her blue eyes damp with unshed tears as worry and panic set in. Luke and Orrin growled softly as they flanked Carys on either side, their massive bodies moving in to protect her should the need arise. There's a forest at the base of the mountains and past the village. We'll be safer there, Carys then said. So take whatever you need and we must get moving. I fear we might already be in danger.
