"I ᴀᴍ ᴄᴀʟʟᴇᴅ Gʀᴇʏɴᴀᴜɢʜᴛ. I ʜᴀᴠᴇ ғᴀɪᴛʜғᴜʟʟʏ sᴇʀᴠᴇᴅ ᴍʏ ʟᴀsᴛ ᴍᴀsᴛᴇʀ ғᴏʀ ᴏᴠᴇʀ 300 ʏᴇᴀʀs, sᴀᴅʟʏ ᴀ ʟᴏᴛ ʜᴀs ᴄʜᴀɴɢᴇᴅ. I ᴀᴍ ᴏɴᴄᴇ ᴀɢᴀɪɴ ᴡɪᴛʜᴏᴜᴛ ᴀ ᴍᴀsᴛᴇʀ..." the giant suit of armor replied. He stuck his massive sword in the ground with a heavy thud and leaned against it, "I ɴᴏᴡ ᴡɪsʜ ᴛᴏ sᴇᴇᴋ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴏʀ ᴏғ ᴛʜɪs ʙᴏᴏᴋ..." Grey said as he retrieved the book from under his chest plate.

"A ᴡᴏʀᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡɪsᴇ Rʏᴅᴇʀ, ᴘᴜɴɪsʜ ɴᴏᴛ ᴛʜᴏsᴇ ᴡʜᴏ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ɴᴏᴛ ᴡʀᴏɴɢᴇᴅ ʏᴏᴜ. Wᴇʀᴇ ᴛʜᴇsᴇ ғᴀʟʟᴇɴ ᴍᴇɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇxᴀᴄᴛ ᴏɴᴇs ᴡʜᴏ ᴋɪʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘᴀʀᴇɴᴛs? Wʜʏ sʜᴏᴜʟᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀᴄᴛs ᴏғ ᴀ ғᴇᴡ ᴄᴀᴜsᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴜɴɪsʜᴍᴇɴᴛ ᴏғ ᴏᴛʜᴇʀs?" Greynaught reasoned.

"They may be the ones, but they may not. I do not know, but it was under the kings command that they killed my parents. I will heed your wise words, Greynaught. What is this book about?" Ryder says to Greynaught. Ryder then picks up Harpy and puts him in his pocket, while stowing away the last of the bacon, then he fills a small jar with water from the puddle.

Aurae looked at the book and nearly gasped." My book! You have found it!" She smiled in relief." Thank Tamara." She looked at Greynaught and then Ryder." That book is full of detailed information of every race forgotten by humans. I left it for the hope I could find someone who is indifferent to us."

Greynaught looked down at himself and studied his body armor, "Us?" he said looking back up at Aurae.

The wind was beginning to pick up as dark grey clouds slowly moved towards the town from the nearby mountain range.

((OCC: Not sure what else to say... I need more given to me for me to give more back in my writing.))

The dark clouds roll over the town, and it starts to rain. " are you guys ok with the rain getting on the book, if not you should follow me, I know a good abandoned place that has no holes in the roof. We can all talk and study the book in there, I left some candels and some flint. Follow me." Ryder tells them as he walks closer to the edge of the wet street, with the last few people running to their home.

(OCC: I dident know what to put, I dident have much info to make something so that's what I wrote.)

Aurae flinched when it rained. She pulled her cloak over her head to protect her." I would not like that book to get wet. I poured my life onto the pages and almost 7,529 years of knowledge I possess." She looked around." I am going to be in trouble by not being home any time soon." She smiled, a bit embarrassed.

(OOC: sorry. I've been a bit tired and I haven't been listening to music.)

Ryder runs down the street and takes a left turn he then shouts "Follow me, I know a dry place!"

(OCC: I don't know what else to do.)

Grey would follow after Ryder and Aurae, rain 'pinging' off of his metal carapace. Greynaught couldn't feel the rain, he couldn't really feel anything, he had not nervous system - or any other bodily systems for that matter. Grey could only hear and see, for him seeing and hearing the rain was enough. If he had normal eyes he would cry because of how happy he was to finally be free of that dungeon.

Ryder runs down some streets, then jumps over a low wall and runs on the porch. "We'll, here we are." The house looks as of it had been abandoned for several years. It's a lite yellow, well at least what's left of the paint. The door has huge boards across it. Ryder then climbs into the window and he sits in a rocker. "Here's a good place to study and talk about the book."

Greynaught looks the house over and tries the window, "I'm too big to fit..." he says as he wanders around for the door. "Still too big..." he says after pushing aside some of the lumber that had been used to block the entrance off. Without any other way in Greynaught made due with standing outside near the window so he could hear what was being said as they discussed the book.

((OCC: So quick question... What will this RP be about? I'm a stickler for having a plot to a RP.))

Aurae looked at Gregnaught then looked at Ryder." I already know what is in that book. I wrote it." She leaned against a wall nearby." But here is a warning if you are to open it and ready it. You may not understand the world after you read it and you may feel small compared the the creatures in that book.

(Well I was mostly aiming for them traveling and going to the hidden world where Aurae cones from. That's just the rough outline so you can add more if you want.)

After Ryder reads some of the book aloud, he asks "Is there a place where these creatures still are?" Ryder then says something inaudible and the window enlarges enabling Greynaught to enter the house.

Greynaught looks nervously at the magically enlarged entry, "I'd rather stay outside if it is all the same to you..." He didn't feel like being cooped up again after only just getting out a few minutes before.

Grey had paid careful attention as Ryder read from the book, the words were strange but not unfamiliar to him. The stories, creatures and wonders within the words reminded him of the Olde World. "The things in this book... Mages, beasts, mythical creatures... Dragons... They all still truly exist? Even after all this time?" Grey asked as he turned to Aurae.

Aurae smiled." Yes. You have the last being you named, Greynaught, is standing right in front of you." She stood up straight." We do not live here. We hide in a different world completely. I could show you but you may not be able to come back." She looked at both of them, her eyes turning into a gold color.

"So, you are a dragon?" Ryder whispers softly "I would like to see all these beasts, even if I can't come back. Ryder then flips through the pages and finds a page on creatures like Harpy. He takes out Harpy and shows him the page.

"I'm not sure I like the idea of being stuck anywhere..." Greynaught said solemnly. "But I can guard you two until the journey there ends if you would like."

Aurae smiled." Greynaught, you'll be stuck in another world that probably has more open space there than here. Indeed I am a dragon and I am kinder than most, Ryder." She bowed." Where I come from, we do not rely on governments but elders that lead us. I happen to be an elder of the dragons."

"How do we get there? Ryder asks Aurae. He then takes the book and hands it to Greynaught and says " You should hold onto it." Ryder then takes Harpy and puts him in a pocket on the inside of his cloak. He also takes some candels and says another inaudible thing and a dark portal appears and he tosses the candels in with some fire wood. "I'm ready to go."

"Sorry... I don't think that will be for me." Greynaught replied to Aurae, as he does so Ryder hands him the book to keep safe. Grey watches as Ryder opens a dark portal and tosses in a few miscellaneous items, "Uh... Okay... I'm ready to go to but only as far as I am able to safely return." Grey says with a small amount of uncertainty.

She nodded and look at Greynaught." I will make sure you return myself." She bowed to him. She looked at Ryder." We will go at dusk. The entrance is better to see at that time."
