Dyten shot straight down, a dark growl escaping his lips until he saw Adara. When he landed he looked towards the man and bowed. "Thank you." he stated calmly, before looking towards Adara with a frustrated sigh. "Should have guessed." HE shook his head. "I appologize." He told the man as he reached out and touched Adara's forhead gently.

The man looked at Dyten warily when he landed but said nothing, recognizing the wings as evidence of them being the same species as each other  "Valeran, what is it, did you catch her?" A young woman in fine clothing came into view "M'lady" the man, Valeran, glanced at the young woman The girl came over "Oh dear" she said frowning. She took a handkerchief out of her dress pocket and dipped it in a nearby stream and went back "here, use this" she said to Dyten softly, offering him the cloth as a cold compress "Shall we find a place to set her down, m'lady?" Valeran asked quietly "Or should we head back to the castle?" |

"I will take her." Dyten said, easily taking Adara from Varen. He lifted her as though she weighed nothing. When his eyes landed on the woman, he raised a brow slightly. "My sister would never forgive me if we imposed upon you." He said calmly.

"Not at all" She said giving him a gentle smile "It would be no imposition. Besides, what kind of person would i be if i left you to care for your ill sister out here in the forest"
"M'lady!" Valeran turned suddenly
Soldiers came into view, dressed in the fine clothing of royal guards
Alexia turned to them, her smile fading
The captain stepped forward "Lady Alexia, you are not permitted outside of castle grounds"
"I..I'm sorry, the young lady needed help, i was just-"
The man motioned with his hands and two guards moved forward and grabbed Valeran, forcing him to his knees
"You know the punishment for disobeying the rule"
Alexia's face blanched "No please, don't hurt him. I'm the one who disobeyed"
"Yes" he said with a sneer "But we can;t whip you, can we princess?" he nodded to his men
One stepped out with whip in hand and Valeran met his eyes with a cool gaze
"No, please no" Alexia sobbed
"it's alright, M'lady" Valeran said quietly, no looking away from the man "I will gladly accept this punishment for you"

Dyten felt a dark growl escape his lips. He carefully layed Adara down before he sent three of the men onto their backs with a single sweep. "They were greeting fellow royalty." He growled, his sword still on his back, but his eyes were black and he gave off a dark energy. He dusted his hands before moving to check on his sister before turning back to VAren and bowing his head. "I guess I should introduce myself now, considering the trouble." He straightened himself and smiled slightly. "My sister, Princess Adara Corrington. And I am Dyten Corrington."

The captain scowled as his men were thrown back but he knew better then to try and fight, especially if these people were truly royalty
Alexia ran to Valeran and helped him to his feet "Are you ok?" she asked quietly
"I am fine, M'lady" he said getting up. He bowed to Dyten "Thank you, M'lord. But i am just a servant and a halfling. You should not have bothered to lift your hand for someone like me"
"don't be ridiculous Valeran" Alexia protested "you're not lowly. You-"
The captain grabbed her arm and dragged her away from Valeran "Take her back to the castle" he said to the men still standing "you two, get them up" he motioned to the fallen men and two others went to help them
"My apologies" he said with a barely suppressed sneer "Please, if you would follow me, we'll escort you to the castle"

Dyten lifted Adara up and smirked slightly. "I pay back my debts to those that help my sister or me." He told Valeran. "And I can tell one someone is my equal." His eyes darkened with the way they were treating the princess however. He followed them towards the castle, however, his wings twitching in agitation against his back as he glanced down at Adara then towards the captain.

As they walked they were lead through the deep woods to an area of ancient trees that were giant in size. Up in the treetops was a city connected by bridges. They were lead up to the largest tree where a large castle was in the branches. The people watched, the men on the street while the women stayed indoors, watching them pass from the windows
The captain lead them into the castle, where Alexia was pulled aside . Valeran went to follow but the guard grabbed him, forcing them along with them.
They came into a throne room were a man sat on a throne with a crown on his head, and a woman sat on the floor at his feet.
The captain bowed to the king "Your Majesty. I bring guests. Claims to be royalty"
The king turned his gaze to Dyten "I am Antradis, King of the Phoenixes. Who might you be?"

Dyten bowed his head slightly in greeting. "My sister is Princess Adara Corrington. I am Dyten Corrington. Falcons form Elendron." He said in response to the kings question. He said nothing more at the moment, simply wishing his sister would wake up and take over the talking as he hated dealing with politics. He prefered the fighting side of things.

The king barely spared Adara a glance "You have traveled a long way" he commented "What would the falcons have with us, Prince Dyten Corrington?" He asked "It has been generations since falcons have come to our lands, and even longer since royalty came, and unannounced at that"

"Me and my sister were out traveling before she takes the throne sir. And it's not prince. I hold no claim to the throne." He stated, already annoyed with being called prince. And with the fact the man barely seemed to notice Adara. "As much as I would wish to continue, sir. My sister needs a place to rest."

The king's expression became one of dismay "A prince renounce his title to a woman?" he asked "Things have indeed changed." he turned to his men "Escort them to the guest rooms"
Adara stirred in her brother's arm
The guard walked over to Dyten and motioned "This way, my Lord" he said

Dyten felt a soft growl escape his lips. He wanted to make a remark but simply turned and followed after the guard. He had a feeling things were about to get very interesting. Dyten did not relax until he had Adara layed down on a bed. He refused to be shown to his room at the time, preferring to be there when Adara woke.

About an hour later Adara began to stir and moan.
There was a knock at the door and outside it Valeran stood. His face was drawn into it's usual emotionless expression, something he had started doing to hide the pain from the scars and cuts hidden beneath his clothing. He had been beaten, as promised, once the visiting royalty was gone from the throne room

Dtyen glanced towards Adara before moving over and opening the door. A frown came to his lips as he looked at Varen. "Yes?" He asked, as he glanced back towards Adara as she moved about. He turned, leaving the door open and moved over to Adara. "Afternoon sleeping beauty." he teased softly.
