Ryker sneaked through the forest, moving toward Lake Mortez. He got out of his training and meetings early and he wanted to surprise Selethina. From their mental connection, he knew that she was close to the Lake, talking with another dragon, but he didn't go too far in her mind because he didn't want her to notice him there.
After a while, he got close enough to see her stretching her wings, talking with an enormous, beautiful dragon. Curious, he started to close in on the two of them when he saw someone else spying on them. Instantly, he was distracted. Was it a member of Excalibur or was it someone who could be a danger to Selethina? Using his ability to blend in with his background, the ability that kept him alive most of his life, he snuck through the underbrush and approached her.
He paused for a few moments when Selethina took off and then he snuck up on the mystery woman. She didn't look like anyone he knew from Excalibur, but for all he knew, she could be a new member or something. Finally, he got close enough to see who it was and he was even more surprised when he recognized her from his past. It couldn't be Commander Morgana from the Knights of Purity, could it?
He laughed, unable to help himself. He wondered if she would remember him from ten years ago when he stayed with the Knights of Purity for a few months. They talked with one another quite a few times back then. "Hello there," he greeted, unsure if there was anything else he could say. Did Morgana know that this was a popular hangout for members of Excalibur?

Morgana knew the lake was an Excalibur hang out she needed more information her meeting with Ryagin had shaken her she had jus wanted to watch there interactions with each and really see for herself if dragons and humans could get along. Morgana had been surprised when there was only two dragons at the lake one was bright white and the other, well she was indescribable to say the least her scales had almost shuffled changing colors and shimmering in the new days light. They had been conversing with one another for a while then all the sudden they took off and flew into the distance.
Morgana was left feeling disappointed, paying to much attention to the dragons she didn't notice a man sneaking around behind her until he spoke. Whipping around she pulled a knife from her boot. "Who are you and what do you want?" She eyed the man more carefully he looked familiar like she had seen him before. Maybe he was a Knight?

Ryker lifted an eyebrow, not entirely surprised by Morgana's semi-hostile reaction, but still hoping for something else. He didn't really expect her to remember him right off. Maybe he should jog her memory. "Really Morgana," he started, his tone sarcastic. "I mean, I know it's been about ten years and you're the "Commander" now, but I really thought we were better friends than this. Are you sure you don't remember me?" Ryker laughed to himself as he remembered how he and Morgana used to fight. Theirs was always an interesting relationship.
"Hey, do you want to leave the bushes? I think it'd be more comfortable if we moved over closer to the Lake," Ryker suggested, not waiting for a reaction. He thought that Morgana might argue the idea if given the opportunity and he didn't want to take that chance. So he turned and started walking towards the water. After a few steps, he turned around and started walking backwards as he checked to see if she was coming.

As the man walked away realization hit Morgana, Ryker that troublesome boy was back. He teased her as he started to walk away she came after him and as he turned around she was right there, she grabbed his shirt and tossed him back into the tree line they fell into the bushes as she rushed to hide them both. "Ryker, you idiot!" Morgana yelled, they were both on the ground as she shoved him "There is a reason I'm in the tree's you blockhead!" "What are you doing here?" Morgana was surprised to see Ryker he had left the Knights about ten years ago and she didn't know what had happened to him.

Ryker wasn't expecting Morgana to tackle him, so when he turned around to see her right there in front of him, in the process of bowling him over, he was shocked. Without any time to prepare, he fell over instantly and found himself lying on the ground with Morgana on top of him, her face furious as she insulted him repeatedly.
He didn't mean to, but Ryker started laughing almost instantly. He knew his laughing would- more likely than not- infuriate her, but he couldn't help it. He never thought he'd run into Morgana just to have something like this happen. "Whoa there, Princess. If you keep on yelling, you might defeat the purpose of us hiding in the trees. I'm pretty sure anyone within five miles can hear you yelling at me," he teased, rolling over quickly and sitting up. "And, for your information, I live near here, Princess. I come here a few times of the week looking for peace, not to get pushed over by some crazy commander of the Knights. What are you doing here?" he asked, not sure if she would even tell him, but asking all the same. He picked up a stick nearby and started playing with it, giving his hands something to do.
Ryker was pleasantly surprised that he ran into Morgana. She knew him years ago, before he met Selethina, and for some strange reason, he had no problem when it came to teasing her or talking with her. When it came to Morgana, he felt as comfortable as he would if he were talking to his sister.

Morgana rolled her eyes as Ryker started laughing. He’s was still just that boy she knew years ago. He looked a little scruffy and worn, not that it surprised Morgana but she was curious what he had been up too all these years. As he spoke she scowled at him, he always needed to be a smart-alec. “ Oh and who interrupted who here, I was just find standing here until you came along and almost gave away my position! I was watching the two dragons that were over by the lake, and now their gone probably thanks to you!" She had been really curious at the two dragons she had never seen dragons converse in such a calm manner before. Turning to Ryker again she spoke "Did you recognize either of them? I had never seen either one." She had been so mesmerized by the first dragon. The dragon had seemed to change color her beauty was, well, on par with her own. She had never even considered trying to talk to a dragon before but that one would be the exception.

Ryker laughed at Morgana yet again, amused by her accusations and obvious frustration. "Really? You're going to blame their leaving on me? Let me point out that if either of the dragons noticed you or I, they probably would have attacked us instead of leaving. I've never heard of a dragon that would leave an area just so a human wouldn't interrupt them. Dragons are a proud race, you know," he commented off-handedly.
However, at the same time Ryker was aware of the awe that crossed Morgana's face as she mentioned the dragons and asked if he recognized either one. He hesitated before answering, not wanting to reveal that he was from Excalibur. If he did tell Morgana that piece of information, she would probably just call him a traitor and leave,. He didn't want that. "I'm not positive, but I think the bigger, more colorful one is pretty close to the dragon queen. I don't think the other one is as well known, though" he trails off. How did it ever come to this? Talking about dragons with a Knight of Purity. Who could have imagined it?

Morgana rolled her eyes at him. He never changed. She glanced at him from the corner of her eye, not sure if he was the right person to ask. "Do you think...I mean do you ever wonder if there is more to them then what we are told?" She spoke very softly almost scared to speak the words aloud secretly hoping he wouldn't hear her. That dragon had caught her off guard, she couldn't explain it but she somehow felt connected to that dragon almost like they mirrored each other, the same soul one human, the other dragon. She cut that thought short what was wrong with her?

Ryker looked at Morgana closely. Was it possible that she- well, could she ever change her opinions about dragons? Before now he would have laughed at the thought, but looking at the wonder written ever so plainly on her face, he knew she was sincere. Still, how to answer her ... he didn't want to tell her that he was a member of Excalibur only to have her get mad at him and harden herself towards dragons again. But he felt like she still deserved an answer.
"I think dragons are magnificent creatures," he ventured, speaking slowly and softly. "I believe there is definitely more to them than we can see. Did I ever tell you about the dragon that I ran into when I was a child?" He asks almost in a whisper as he finally decided on a course of action. He was not sure how Morgana would respond, but this would give him an indication of what to expect. Probably. However, with Morgana he was never quite sure. She tended to be quite adept at surprising him.

He spoke softly with almost a reverence to his voice, like he respected the dragons. She decided she wanted to know more about the dragons. The meeting she had with the dragon king had really done a number on her. She would find out more and form her own opinion, though she didn't expect it to change much. Morgana looked at him curiously "I never heard of you meeting a dragon? When did that happen and why am i just hearing about it now?" They had been closer when they were younger so she was surprised that he hadn't told her when it had happened. She wanted to know but only for research purposes of course.

Ryker smiled at the curious note in Morgana's voice, glad that she wanted to know. Maybe her attitude towards dragons was changing ... but he still wouldn't tell her about how he was a member of Excalibur, or about Selethina. Well, he couldn't tell her too much about Selethina; he would have to tell that story now that he mentioned it to her.
"Woah there, Morgana, don't be offended. I didn't even remember it until a few years ago," Seven years ago, in fact. He didn't remember his first meeting with Selethina until he met her again when he was older. Apparently meeting her again brought this memory back. "So it happened when I was about ten. I snuck away from my parents and found my way to a nearby cliff. I was looking at how far down the ground was from it when an enormous dragon landed right in front of me. I was so scared I couldn't even move. All I could do was stare and all I could think was that I was about to die but she never attacked me. Then, without even thinking about what could happen, I reached forward to touch her and she actually let me! Then she flew away," Ryker trailed off, curious about what Morgana thought of his experience. Then he decided to say a little more. "You're the first person I ever told that to, but to answer your question again, I do think there is more to the dragons than we expect because that dragon didn't attack me. What do you think?" he asks, hoping that the question will make her say something. He wants to know what she thought of his story.

Ryker finished his story about the dragon he had met. This is crazy! Why did it not attack him? Thats what dragons do! That’s what the all do! They kill people, both sides do! Morgana’s thoughts ran as she stood there. Not showing her emotions Morgana didn’t say anything for a long time. Finally she spoke “That is quite the story Ryker, I think I……” She stopped herself Ryker was an old friend yes, but she didn’t know what he was doing here, at least not really. There will come a time to tell Ryker of her plans but not yet. “Thank you for telling me about your experience I appreciate it.” She really did. Morgana was determined she was going to meet one herself. This is how she would find out for herself and finally get rid of all this doubt. She was going to find herself a dragon. (he he i’m so excited!!! )

Ryker watched Morgana curiously. Something wasn't right ... or normal. One of the two, but the point was that Morgana wasn't behaving like her normal self. The Morgana he knew never would have asked about dragons, and if the subject came up, she definitely wouldn't have been so calm about it. He couldn't imagine what was going through her head, but he wanted to. What in the world was she thinking?
He noticed her trail off mid-thought and wondered if she really knew what she thought. She seemed not quite confused, but something close to it and he wished there was some way he could help. He smiled at her, "Thanks for listening to my story. Most people wouldn't have. Is there anything I can help you with?" he asked, wishing he had something more to offer- something that she would accept- but that was all. He'd have to see if she decided to trust him more or if he'd have to wait until the next time he saw her, if he ever saw her again, that was.

Morgana decided to tell him, not all of it just parts. "I had an encounter of my own." Morgana glanced at Ryker wondering how he would react. "I captured a dragon the beach a while ago.......don't look at me like that, I know I what i've done. And when i arrived Ryagin was there with his rider. We spoke." She knew this wasn't all that Ryker would want but this was all she was prepared to give him at the moment. "Things are changing Ryker......I am changing." Morgana sighed. She was tired, not physically but, the front she had to keep up when she with the knights was draining and after a while she had lost the ability to turn it off. She had forgotten how happy she had been before her father was killed. Ryker reminder her of a time when she was different, when she was better and she wanted to go back to that. She stood there looking into the distance thinking.

Ryker's eyes widened in surprise. Morgana had an encounter with dragons? With Ryagin, even?? He fought to hide the astonishment on his face. He couldn't believe she was talking about this so casually. He knew that her interaction with Ryagin couldn't have been a good one ... especially since he caught her capturing another dragon. Ryker knew Ryagin pretty well, and he knew that wouldn't fly with the dragon, or with Elin- who was most likely with Ryagin during this encounter of Morgana's. He knew she probably didn't want to talk about it, but he couldn't help but ask all the same. "You spoke with Ryagin? What did he say? What did you say?"
He replayed her last words in his mind. Apparently Morgana could tell that he disapproved of her actions in capturing the dragon. Oops. He would have to be more careful about that next time. Still, she admitted that she was changing. Should he reveal his connection with Excalibur to her now or at a later time? He hesitated. What in the world should he say? He decided to try to be supportive. Maybe she'd tell him what happened with Ryagin. Then again, he knew how private she could be, so he had no guarantees. "You know you can tell me anything, Morgana. I mean, I haven't seen you in a long time but you've always been more like a sister to me than anything else. I promise I'll keep your secrets."
