Return of the Midnight Shadow(Open)

"Hm, perhaps young one but can't really guarantee that. Especially in my age, I'm already well into my elder years." Nyx said smiling, liking her encouragement as well but doubting there would be any dragon wanting to be with an elder like her now. She had passed those years and turned down such offers of close companionship but it was something she didn't mind. Though she chuckled when Akrina burped and nodded, "Your welcome. I figured you might be hungry after all that."

"lets hope the fish don't turn on my stomach. i've never eaten fish without stomach problems," she said, thinking about her lack of positive thinking of finding someone special. suddenly, she clenched her eyes shut in a flinch as a green burning sensation washed across her mind. shaking her head, she opened her eyes as the images filled her mind. "vampire..." Akrina said, placing her hand against her head.

"Hopefully not, don't need you losing your lunch too." Nyx said with slight smile, knowing that wouldn't be a good thing. If that did happen it might be best they found something else, knowing there were quite a few berries and fruits growing in Avalar so it was likely they could find something. But when seeing Akrina flinch she frowned slightly, "Vampire? What do you mean Akrina?"She inquired, having not heard this word for many years. Not since a battle during Malefor's reign but that had been a vampiress.

Unless..."Wait, you have visions don't you?"She quickly asked this time, her mind beginning to race to the possible thought of coming across that familiar dragoness. For the moment the name of the dragoness escaped her but Nyx remembered well of the vampiress dragon general who has served under Malefor and had to admit she held respect for the dragoness' prowess and how she commanded her troops back then. But she wasn't sure what to expect so many years since then.

["Cosmos"]

"i am no seer, but the corruption in my body sometimes mixes with energy of others and painfully gives me images of things. i just saw a female who to me, resembled a vampire. have you ever encountered a being of such nature?" Akrina asked, as the burning sensation began to leave her mind. rubbing her eyes, she didn't see anything of Nyx's reactions.

[Deleted]

"I see,"Nyx said as she turned to the entrance for a moment, wondering if this was really the same vampiress dragoness she had come across many years ago. "And yes, a long time ago when I was still fighting for Warfang during a dark time." She answered as she quietly made her way to the cave entrance, extending her neck out slightly to peer out mostly out of wonder if this was by chance Akrina had such a vision.

["Cosmos"]

"from what i saw, this vampire was in a mountain range that i have gone through when i came to the Dragon Realms. to the far north, from what i remember," Akrina said, taking her hands from her face. seeing Nyx at the entrance of the cave, she wondered if this was important. "was the encounter with this female important to you?" she asked, looking at the elderly dragoness.

[Deleted]

"Far north huh, it might be the mountains known as the Ebonic Mountains your thinking of so might not surprise me. There are many places one can hide or seek home at." Nyx said, wondering if the vampiress now had her home there but nodded slightly. "You could say that. The last I encountered her was during the battle in the north where not a single one of her troops or our own were killed only wounded but nothing fatal. It was a long fight but eventually it ended. And our encounter was brief fighting here and there but for the most part I battled her troops."She told her as she looked back at the Dragonborn.

["Cosmos"]

listening to her, she nodded at her. thinking that this vampire was amazing at not killing a single one of her troops, Akrina thought that this was planned by a higher power. "it seems maybe some kind of influence is wanting a reunion between you and this vampire. maybe for the better," she said, shrugging her shoulders in a 'not sure' manner.

[Deleted]

"It wouldn't surprise me. The Ancestors have an odd way of playing their hands of fate sometimes, and if this meeting is to be for the better I surely am hoping so." Nyx said with a nod, knowing fate sometimes brought those of the past into others lives again. And it seemed she was destined to meet with the dragoness, but still the name slipped her mind since it had been so long. For now though she smiled, "But for now maybe we should get you up and moving, sure you don't want to remain in a stuffy cave for too long."She said, for now deciding to worry about this vision later.

["Cosmos"]

smiling at her, the Dragonborn used the wall to get to her feet with little trouble. "thanks to you, i'm feeling much better. i still need to rest more, but for now, i'm good enough to move around with little trouble," Akrina said, walking towards the cave entrance with only a slight limp.

[Deleted]

"Just doing what I can for someone who needed a helping hand."Nyx said with a smile, glad to see that Akrina could at least get on her feet again but still made note to watch her limping despite her getting up just fine. It was more of a precaution to be sure the Dragonborn would be alright. "Down we go then," She said with a smile as she spread her wings and glided down to the ground below that was some feet below from the cave.

["Cosmos"]

watching the dragoness glide down, she spread her own wings and looked at them. jumping down the side of the mountain, she dug her claws into the mountainside to stop her descent. coming to a stop, she jumped down to the ground and moved over to Nyx. "want to lead the way?" Akrina asked, looking around as the surrounding area.

[Deleted]

Nyx waited as Akrina came to join her on the ground, smiling when seeing the Dragonborn was so far doing just fine. "Of course, though I warn this valley is vast so we might not be able to see all of it."She told her as she began leading the way to a random direction, pretty much the direction she had been facing after landing. Though she began to realize they were close to the entrance leading into the next valley where the infamous hermit lied. "Seems we're close to the Whistling Valley."

["Cosmos"]

"it never crossed my mind to see every bit of this realm," the Dragonborn joked when she began to follow the dragoness. soon, she heard the whistling sound coming from a canyon system in the mountainside. "what is in the Whistling Valley?" Akrina asked, looking at the canyon opening, then saw a moments sight of a quick moving creature.

[Deleted]

"Another valley just across from here, not many really go there since it's hard to fly or really move around in that part of Avalar." Nyx explained and added, "And there's a hermit there that tends to be a little crazy, scares others away and pretty much gets the quiet he always wants."Though she to noticed movement and narrowed her eyes slightly to try and see better. "Hmmm,"Wondering now Nyx moved towards the cavern, being fairly cautious as she came closer to see what the creature was.
