Cinderwitch | in the forest
Cinderwitch crouched in the branches of an oak, well above the heads of any passers-by. She remained deep enough in the forest to be hidden by the evening shadows, but close enough that her advanced eyes could see what was going on in the village. A guard argued with a woman by the gates. Throwing knives and arrows were fired at her. This was none of Cinder's concern.
She turned her eyes to the fences, where a man prowled, clearly standing guard. There was something odd about him, but she just couldn't put her finger on it.
She turned her eyes again, this time to the skies. The clouds were thickening, painted orange by the setting sun. Tonight would be a perfect night for a preliminary fly-by, to scout out the village and see where they kept all that gold - assuming, of course, the rumours going around the taverns of this place's extraordinary wealth were true. Cinderwitch's tail twitched at the thought of gold, and a sly smile spread across her face like a cat about to pounce. She settled back against the tree trunk with her fingers laced behind her head, waiting patiently until the time was right.

Hey, does this village have a name?

Baltazar Drake | Patroling the town

I've been patroling for ages and my legs were slaying me, but my dragon half refused to give up. Something was amiss somewhere in the town and my dragon half wanted the disturbence out of commission. How does Mother ever put up with this problem? I kept on with my patrol, not even saying one word.

Hey Red, don't forget the evil person hiding out in a house. I put him there to get killed...just for fun.

Cinderwitch | In the forest
The sun had set and the moon was obstructed by the clouds as Cinder shook herself awake. She climbed to the highest limb of the tree that would support her. With the ocean on her right, she sprang off the branch and spread her wings, heading for the opposite side of the village. She glided silently on the wind, using her sharp eyes to search for anywhere in Argos that was extra heavily guarded.
Torchlight from below glinted off her scales, alerting a watchman of her prescence. He alerted the archers, and a volley of arrows flew toward Cinderwitch. She rolled to one side, but an arrow caught her left wing. She wobbled and began falling. She swerved left, aiming for the forest before she lost too much altitude. She crashed and tumbled through the trees, landing with a thump on the forest floor.
Spoiler
This would be a perfect place for one or both of the evil wizards to walk by, or maybe the guards spot Cinderwitch, or whatever...

Or better yet, here comes Baltazar.


Baltazar Drake | Argos

My dragon half went on full alert and I ran to the forest where I saw a fellow Dragonborn. Her dragon half was more visible than my own was. The golden gleam of her scales only enhanced her human beauty. I took her in my arms and carried her to my hut. Being half dragon myself, I had to give creatures like her just as much respect as I do pure dragons. I carefully put her on my bed and went to fetch a basin and a cloth. I treated her wounded wing with great care, struggling not to pay too much attention to the rest of her. Good gods, this must be my lucky day. A female Dragonborn. Can this day get any luckier? I continued to treat her wing, saying not one word.

Princess Aayta/ In the town
Spoiler
Ileave for two days and I'm slightly lost


The Princess walked through the town frustrated and mad. She had patrolled around the boarders of the village and seen too much evil, too little help. "Leave it to my mother not to send enough help. She had just killed a man hidden in a hut. He had attacked her as soon as she entered and yelled ,"Where is the gold??? Tell me!!" Aayta took her sword out and swiped off his head with one blow.

Now she was looking for the rest of her "team", that is if there was one. She saw a crack of light come from one hut. She pushed open the door and saw Baltazar , the dragon she saw earlier healing another.At a closer look she saw who it was and screamed "no!! stop!!"

Baltazar Drake | His hut

I heard a scream that almost hurt my ears. I looked at the screamer and saw Aayta. I growled, "Do you mind? Just because you're of higher class than me doesn't mean you can get in my hut without my invitation. I have privacy rights too, you know." I wringed the cloth of the water. The water in the basin was blood red. Ages of treatment almost made my hands sore, but to me it was worth it. "Besides, if the wounded was a Dragonborn like myself, I have the right to treat the wound. I thought you of all people know how I am about dragons and Dragonborn people."

Princess Aayta/ Baltazar's Hut

She glared at him from the doorway, "Privacy is a privilege, you can earn it or lose it. You haven't earned it from me yet. Besides I'm the princess. I do what I want where I want and when I want. I don't need an invitation from a filthy half breed like you. Furthermore, I didn't think you would stoop so low as to help the enemy." Aayta snapped. "I would kill anyone from my race or even family if they were evil and/or convicts. That girl is a known convict, she wants the gold in this town. The gold and treasures I thought YOU were assigned to defend." His hands were stained with blood, the evil temptress lying on his cot enjoying free medical treatment from her enemy. I stepped fully inside the hut, closed the door and put my hand on the hilt of my sword. If Baltazar wasn't willing to get rid of it she would gladly. "So, what do you say for yourself?" she challenged, looking him in the eye.

Cinderwitch | Baltazar's hut
People's angry voices greeted Cinderwitch as she came to conciousness. Her head pounded like a marching army. The scene was hazy as she slowly opened her eyes. There was a man and a woman arguing about her. The woman she recognized as Princess Aayta. The man had a bloody cloth in his hand. He must have been treating her. Now, at close range, she could tell he was a dragonborn. He certainly wasn't hard on the eyes, either.
Even injured, Cinderwitch was still crafty. She sat up carefully, painfully. "What's going on?" she asked, acting completely innocent.

Baltazar Drake | His hut

Filthy half breed?! How dare she call me that! I was ready to take off my medallion so I could show Aayta what I was capable of. "Get out of my hut! Privacy is not a priviledge in this hut! Don't ever insult me like that! I don't give a damn if you're royalty or not! I like my privacy and deserve it!" My wings spread out and my tail showed. Nobody insults me in my face and gets away with it. Without even a second thought, I pushed Aayta out of my hut and shut and bolted the door. I was panting when I was through with my tantrum. Both my wings and tail vanished before I washed my hands of the female Dragonborn's blood. I sat down at bedside, tired from my tantrum. "There are times when I hate being a dragon on my mother's side, but then again I wouldn't have been this far in my life."

Bella| walking to hut.

I heard arguing. Me and the princess have always been friends. I walked to the hut reconizing her voice. "Hello." I bowed at her. "What's all this about?" I asked her.

Princess Aayta/ Outside the hut

Princess Aayta stood outside the hut fuming mad. How dare he push her out like that? He was going to pay, in the most nasty way. She heard a voice and saw Bella talking to her. She smiled and said, "Oh hello Bella, I'm just having some attitude problems with some of my soldiers,I was planning to burn down his hut. But since my dear mother taught me I should have patience I will try to reason with him again in a minute."

"Ah. I'll help in any way I can." I smiled. "Maybe I can reason with him."

I like where you guys are heading with this! I think I might jump in as a neutral elf rouge; known as Forrest. That way I won't be just reading posts posted by other people but contributing to the SB. So as of right now, I am at the edge of the forest, viewing the town.
