Zika had a small bear visible smirk on her face, as she pretended to be too scared to move. Seeing the blood on Clary her eyes narrowed. No one was going to hurt heroes but her. Running forward and jumping over the white dragon, she drew a card from her sleeve with deadly accuracy she hit one of the Ogre dead in the shoulder, the dagger like card envelop it’s self in the monsters skin. The beast laughed at the card. Smiling slightly Zika snapped her left hand causing the card to exploded and consume the monster in flames. Blood lust flashed in her eyes but it quickly faded.

Alf saw the little glint of bloodlust in Zika's eyes, but she soon forgot about it. She blew a huge fireball in one of the ogre's direction. It ingulfed him and he was reduced to ashes.

Clary saw that the ogre's were almost all gone. She continued to attack even though she was tired. She was covered in gashes and blood was all in her fur.

The battle raged as Ashiiria watched in fear, her whole scaly aqua colored frame shaking. She moved back further and further from the fight, crying in fright as she watched a gash open above Clary's eye and as the other continued to attack the fearsom beasts.

Alf glared at him, and wrapped her wing around Ashiiria. "Don't worry Dragonling. there is no harm here."

Alf was a little annoyed by Zika's attitude. Sure, she wanted to get along with these people, but heck, sometimes Zika drove her insane.

(( heh hehe sorry, i didn't mean to make her annoying. >.<"))

Zika’s eyes traveled to the white dragon. “Is something wrong Alf-chan?” she said in an unbelievably annoying voice just to annoy the dragon farther. Her eyes flashed again as another mental smirk shot through her head.

((it's ok. sooner or later one of you peoples were going to get on my nerves anyway.))

Alf tried to ignore her, wondering when they could start to leave. She stood and said, "Come on you guys. the theif could be half way around the world by now."

Clary nodded as she trotted over to the others in her giant wolf form. "yes we would be off" clary said in a mature voice. Her fur was covered in blood from the fight and blood was running down her face from the gash over her right eye.

Alf picked up Ashiiria and put her on her back. "Later I will teach you how to use those wings." she promised.

Clary smiled at the two and looked around "which direction should we head?" she said not evem careing how tired and beat up her body was. She was use to this since this is what every day for the past ten years have been like for her. She was in her element when she was fighiting and in a different form.

Alf nodded toward the East. "I once saw a city over there, maybe the Thief is over there." she looked at Clary and said, "You get on my back to. Your in horrible shape and I don't want an exausted waste on our hands."

Clary just looked at Alf and nodded. She turned into her human form which was covered in cuts and her clothing was all bloody and climbed up onto her back. Not even after a few second Clary was asleep on Alfs back. she was tired and her wole body acked all over from fighting.

Alf sighed. she had two little dragonlings on her back, a weird dragon and a pain-in-the-neck warrior. I hope we find the Healing Stone soon. she thought.

Clary stayed asleep on Alf's back and for once did not have a nightmare about her parents.

((waiting for other peoples.....))

Ashiiria was still shaking from the fight until the gentle swaying of Alf's motion rocked her to sleep. She dreamed that she was under water, but breathing as if she was on the surface and woke very confused.

"Alf? Can I go swimming?"

Alf looked at Ashiiria. "Ashiiria, there is no body of water for miles around. What make you want to go swimming?"

Claty woke up when they were talking and just listend to them. Her body still acked from the fight but that was about it.

"I had a dream about water and swimming and breathing." She said. "I think I like water, Alf. I think I like it very much." All of a sudden, Ashiiria fell asleep again, snoring quietly on Alf's back.
