Byron widened his eyes as he sat down. "Heh, to tell you the truth, I didn't know manaketes existed. I thought they were a myth." I mean where did you live, and how did you hide your secret?" Byron cleared his throat. "Well anyway, It was an honor to fight along side a dragon." Byron took off his satchel and used it as a pillow and layed back. Byron looked at the sky. "It's nice isn't it?" Byron looked over at Marcus. " I mean Sacae, this early. It's beautiful."

"Yeah, it truly is. Well, I lived in the Nabata Desert for a little while, but for the past 500 or so years of my life, I've been living in the woods hunting bandits. Not really sure how I've kept it so secret for so long, I just kinda have." Marcus lay down next to Byron. "So what's your story?"

Byron looked over at Marcus, then looked back at the sky. "Well, I was born, here in Sacae. My parents sent me to an archery school in Caelin. That's where I met Astin, who became my best friend. I stayed there for years, until I went looking for my parents. I found the village ransacked and my parents dead." Byron closed his eyes and sighed. "Then I returned to Caelin, where Astin's family took me in as theirs. Then Astin got shipped away in the military. Later I heard he became a POW, and the military is trying their best to find him. It's bull. I would be trying to find him myself but thats too tough a job... For now i'm gonna kill the bas**** who killed my parents." Byron scracted his head. " Except now after finding out bits of information, I learned they might be bigger than I thought. " Byron sighed in dissapointment. "Cause they've got forts all over Sacae and Bern. And I swear they have a castle somewhere. God... a castle... " Byron said as he rolled on his side. "I really hope hes not there... If so then this is gonna be harder than I thought."

"Well Byron, you've got my help. Hopefully we'll find somebody along the way who can help us out. But hey thanks for opening up to me. I guess that means I need to add a bit to my own story. I was born in Arcadia, which is a place where dragons live. It's not on any map, so don't bother looking for it. When I was very young, my father had a mental breakdown and murdered my mother. My older brother, Eryk, took me and we fled into Nabata. We lived there foe about twenty years, before a nameless swordsman came hunting for dragons. He found my brother and I, and we gave him a hell of a fight. He killed my brother and I killed him. Then a merchant caravan found me and took me to Laus."

"Hmm, so we both have ugly beginnings." Byron said as he sat up. He picked up the satchel and pulled out his canteen. He took a sip and then wiped his mouth,"You want some?" Byron asked as he took off his quiver and put it next to his bow, which at the moment was resting on the ground.

"Thanks," Marcus said as he took the canteen. He took a small swig then handed back the canteen. "It's funny. We Manaketes are feared, but we're people too, we just turn into dragons. Or maybe we're dragons that turn into humans. Not sure which one it is."

Byron took the canteen and put it back in his satchel. He then looked at the sky as the sun was just coming up. "Hey I think we should get a move on if we want to get the most out of our day." Byron said as he put his satchel over his shoulder and put the quiver on his waist. He grabbed his bow and stood up, "How bout it?"

Marcus stood up, dusting off his robe. "Yeah, we should get going. But the only problem is which way do we go? Since you're the one with a personal vendetta, I'll let you choose."

"Well lets see." Byron said as he took off his satchel and took out the map. He glanced over it for a second. "Well since Bern is to the south, and south is this way... then we should go in this direction." Byron said as he pointed off in the distance. "I think..." Byron looked at Marcus. "Why are you helping me if you just met me in the middle of the plains, I mean, didn't you have somewhere to go, or something to do?"

"No, I just got bored of hunting bandits and just followed where my mind took me. I've really got no purpose in life right now. Why do you ask?"

"No reason..." Byron said as he put the map back in his satchel and put it around is shoulder. His leg was killing him, from the battle the day before. "Bulgar should be a weeks walk, but there should be a bandit fortress around here, or so I've heard. Either we go to Bulgar and then to Bern from there, or look around here before moving on."

"Bulgar seems like a good way to go. But we don't have to walk." Marcus shrugged his shoulders so that his wings fell out of his robes. "These aren't just for show, you know. It's only two days flight from here and I'm betting we could see fortresses better from the air." Marcus turned towards Byron. "So what do you think?"
