==Full Text==
Farris crashed into the local inns bed and reached a hand around to smack open the window so Furi could poke her head inside. “A back to back ‘attacking a trappers camp and then traveling for a few hours to the next town’…that takes it out of a man phew…” He briefly close his eyes. “Is there a suitable place out there for you to rest? I fear the interior of this place is a little small.”

Furi peered into the small room and sniffed. “I’ll find a place out here. Don’t worry.” She was tired too, and just wanted to curl up underneath a tree. With a yawn, she gave Farris a goodbye and wandered to a spot she could sleep undisturbed. She’d go back in the morning.
Oct 30, 2019
After a suitable nights rest, Farris exited the inn and joined Furi where she too was waking up. “Good morning young dragon.” He greeted, and drew in a sharp breath of the early air. “We best get right to seeking information. I shall inquire about the masked man, and you the other talking night fury. That way we can cover more ground.”
Oct 30, 2019
Furi nodded and stretched out, limbs wide and yawning. “Alright. We’ll do that. Meet you back here at sunhigh.” She told him and wandered off into town. She’d find him if he was out there.
Oct 30, 2019
Farris took to the town, stopped for a hearty breakfast first naturally, and then waved down the waitress who had brought him his meal. “Pardon madam.”  He said. “But I am seeking a man who wears a mask and cape, calls himself the Indigo Phantom…have you seen anyone of the sort?”
Oct 30, 2019
The waitress shifted uncomfortably. “Indigo Phantom, eh? Why on earth’d you wanna find him” Ain’t no sane person has any business with the Indigo Phantom.“ She laughed and shook her head.
Lowering her voice slightly, she looked him in the eye. “Ya want my advice, stay away from him. There’s rumors he’s a demon. Like, an actual demon.”
Oct 31, 2019
Farris took a careful drink from his mug. “I just have a business offer for him.” He lied. “I’m often on the trail for finding and studying rare dragons. Granted rumor has it he is a trapper or collector of the trapped per say, but that’s at least exposure I could make use of…where could I find him?”
Oct 31, 2019
The waitress sighed. “Alright well, your loss. Ya wont like what ya find, I’m sure. Okay, if you wanna find him, all you gotta do is head out to the densest part of the forest. His home is somewhere in there.” She sighed and shook her head. “Dont come cryin back if you lose a limb, buddy.”
Oct 31, 2019
Farris thanked the girl for the information and made his way back to the inn to meet with Furi.
“The densest part of the wood, that’s where our man is.” He declared. “Any word on other talking dragons ?”
Oct 31, 2019
Furi sniffed. “Nope. Everyone who saw me just dashed off in a fright. I don’t think people around here appreciate Night Furies.”
Turning and looking off into the forest, she smiled a little. “At least you learned something. Let’s go see if there’s anything to find.” Furi began to walk, hope rising in her.
We’re coming, Mr. Phantom.
Nov 1, 2019
The pair made their way into the densest part of the wood. Farris kept a hand close to his sword, the waitresses description of the Indigo Phantom had not settled well with him.
However…if I can survive Rhenco I can survive anyone…
He peered through some bushes. “Do you see anything young dragon? Any sign of this mans dwelling?”
Nov 1, 2019
Furi peered around, on edge. “I don’t see anything yet, and I don’t smell anyt-” She perked her head up, alert.
A black streak zipped out of the bushes and pinned Farris to the ground, and Furi whipped around to see a large Night Fury covered in scars.
She leaped onto the other dragons back and pulled him off her human friend.
Me, fighting a dragon to defend a human? What a swap. 
Soon the two Night furies were snout to snout, snarling. Neither moved, and no one noticed the figure slinking about.
Nov 3, 2019
Farris hastily pulled himself from the ground and gripped his sword, but upon seeing that it was another night fury, he paused, and didn’t draw it fully. 
Could it be…?
His mind raced to remember the name of Furi’s brother. What if this was him? Or at least another night fury who knew of him or his fate. Either way he had to say something before a fight broke out. “T-that’s Furi!” He called, going with the only thing he knew for sure. “Strange dragon, is that your kin you are facing now?”
Nov 3, 2019
The other Night Fury didn’t react, but just growled at Furi, gesturing to Farris and then the woods with his head. Furi grumbled in response. She momentarily looked at Farris.
“He’s not Tael. And he’s trying to get me away from you. Says he has to save me.”
She turned back and tried to explain to the scarred dragon. The larger night fury stopped and backed off, but shot an uneasy look at Farris. He stayed where he was, confused.
Nov 3, 2019
Farris let go of his sword hilt, drawing in a carefully breath as he took a respectful step away. He glanced between the two dragons. “Furi…” He began. “Does this dragon know of the Indigo Phantom ?”
Nov 3, 2019
“That would be me.” A dark figure in all black had crept in without Farris or Furi noticing and was standing behind Farris with a sword out. Behind him stood several night furies of different sizes and ages.
The Indigo Phantom stared at Farris through his dark mask. “May I ask what you are doing here in these woods, and why you have a night fury with you?”
Furi sniffed and moved forward. “I’m looking for my br-” she trailed off when she met the eyes of another Fury behind the Phantom.
She knew those eyes.
Nov 3, 2019
Farris carefully raised his hands and glanced over his shoulder at the man, eyeing the blade. “This young dragon is seeking her kin…we are here to find him…”
Nov 3, 2019
Furi and one of the dragons behind the Phantom ran forward to meet each other, clearly happy.
“Tael!” She yelped, tackling her brother to the ground.
“Furiii!” Tael replied, clearly happy.
“You’re so… big! And you’ve got scars!”
“You look a mess yourself, sis!”
The other Night Furies and the Phantom let their guards down, clearly surprised. 
“I thought you were dead… I thought I’d never see you again.” Furi murmured, dragon hugging Tael, who was grinning like an idiot. 
“Nah. Those hunters had nothing on me. Then this guy bought me off them and I’ve been helping him and these guys out.” 
Nov 4, 2019
Farris now visibly relaxed.
We’re on the same side…? Could we possibly get so lucky…?
He gave a closer look at the Phantom again, an eye squinted.
But the waitresses warning…this man may have helped this dragon to be sure…but what else has he done?
He cautiously put out his hand towards him. “Well it appears as though we all have something good in common…my name is Farris…”
Nov 4, 2019
The Phantom shifted and put his sword away. “Appears we do. A friend of dragons is a friend of mine. I am the defender of Night Furies, and these are my friends, dragons I have rescued from capture.”
Furi and Tael were sat side by side, clearly very happy to have found each other. “Thank you for saving him.” She told the Phantom.
Nov 4, 2019
“This is indeed a relief.” Farris said, a note of reserve still in his voice. “However your benevolent disposition here is a far cry from your reputation even in the neighboring village. Why the discrepancy? 
Nov 4, 2019
The Phantom shrugged and walked back to his group of dragons. "Some people just don't like dragons, and by extension, myself. Just part of this life, I suppose. Doesn't upset me much."
He clicked his tounge and hopped on the back of one of the Night Furies. "Let's go." He started off, and Tael began to follow. Furi was confused.
"Tael, why-"
"Come on. We can get you guys some food. This is a nice place to stay, Furi. Come on!" He stayed with the group, looking back to see if they were following.
