"They didn't like being kept I think. They kept trying to run away from me, called me bad names and tried to hurt me. So to help them get used to being around me and make them happy and love me, I put them in a special space where we could stay together, in a smaller space with no way of escape and nothing to hurt me. They always seemed... off, but they were humans. Maybe humans are different than us? They seemed sensitive and tried to hurt me, but I didn't let them, I used my powers. Then they seemed to go crazy, but I never could figure out what caused it." Ero said. Jericho inhaled through his teeth after she finished talking. Oh boy... she's like that, huh? "Well Ero, everyone wants to be free. Holding people hostage isn't a good way to develop a relationship wiht them. If they really want you Ero, they will stay by your side." Jeircho said to her.

Ava || Mentions: Ero, Jericho

Ava was sound alseep, her eyes closed, her head still. Then she woke herself up quite quickly, a sudden shock electrified her entire body, making her jolt around. She shook her head, and began pumping her wings once more, increasing speed. "Hold on. Tightly." She scowered the ground, no humans seemed to be around their destination, which was perfect. She aimed her head towards a clearing of trees in the middle of a forest. Her wings tucked in slightly, but just enough where she could direct herself into a safe landing spot. Then they began to dive down, the weight of the creature was dragging them back down to earth, even Ava found it terrifying at times.

Moments later, they were at 1000ft high above the earths surface, and Ava extended her wings, directing her to their landing spot. After that, it was more peaceful, and not so fast and detrimenting. She glided down, landing at the smoothest stop she could. Dirt and grass were ripped up underneath her talons, water splashing out of teh river as her large tail was pushed into it. Then she stopped, and the flying detour was over. She growled, and shook her head, glancing back. A wing was extended to the grass below them, "Off."

Jericho was about to continue talking to Ero, but Ava told them to hold on tightly, and he did just that as she descended back to Earth. Ava glided down to the ground, surprising Jericho by how smooth the landing was. A wing was extended to the grass below them, with Ava telling them to get off. Jericho nodded and carefully walked down Ava's wing, hopping off and looking around the area. There were plenty of trees surrounding them, with a river bending and flowing through the trees. "Good job on the landing Ava. Now... what's our next move?"

Ero I M: Jericho

To put it lightly, Ero had been terrified by landing. The moment Ava landed she wanted to get off, but she was practically frozen in her fear. Jericho got off though and that overrode her fear and she tried to start going down Ava's wing to go get to him. She tripped and fell straight on her face when she got back to the ground, but that just made it worse. She managed to push her shaky self up and run over to Jericho. She hugged him from the side, still shaking slightly. She was watching Ava with sharp eyes though, even through her fear she knew she needed to protect Jericho.

Jericho turned back to Ava and Ero hugged him from the side. At first, Jericho was surprised, but maybe she was really relieved that she was no longer in the air, so Jericho gave her a side hug of his own. "Being wanted isn't part of it... No one wants me, but it doesn't matter. I need to have them, I can't not have them." The sentence replayed in his head and he looked at her. "Ero, if you really want someone to stay with you, then you need to let them have their freedom to live their life. They have their own life, and if they truly want you, then they won't leave your side. I know you may worry if they leave Ero, but if you want someone, you have to know when to give them some room, okay? Your obsessions are people too, they aren't just things you play with, Ero. I don't really know everything that happened to you, but at least I know I have someone who will stand by my side, and that's you." He looked at her again before looking up at Ava. She better not get any funny ideas about us. Ero's hurting, obviously. Something in her past life made her this way, but I know somewhere deep inside her there's a sweet, caring girl waiting to be found.

Ava watched closely as the two walked down her wing, she flinched a few times as Ero seemed to be hurrying down. She hissed, her tail whipped upwards before falling back down, hitting the ground with a thump. She growled quietly as Ero landed on her face, pulling her wing back to her side. She shook her head, extended her wings upwards, standing on her hind legs. She arched her head, staring down at Ero and Jericho. Her tail curled around her hind legs, her wings splayed outwards. After moments of her preparing for the shift, fire began to emerge from the ground below, circling her once more. The same thing happened just as before, except for the part where the flaming tornado of fire decreased in size, finally revealing Ava's human appearance once more.

Brushing off herself, and pushed her hair back, and began stretching her arms and legs. "God," she mumbled, and then she coughed. As in all cringey movies, she coughed and spews of fire were expelled then quickly extinguished. "Sorry, happens every time," she growled, and she rubbed her shoulder, stepping out of the hole she created with her dragon feet. She saw Ero clinging to Jericho, and she rolled her eyes, scoffing quietly. "Good job on the landing Ava. Now... what's our next move?" She shrugged, "Now. We go to town, get an apartment and figure out what the hell is going on."

Ero still couldn't understand. She felt like she was doing something wrong becuase she couldn't understand. Was she really that messed up? She was glad he seemed actually willing to stay by her side, he was much different form the others. Plus they both had powers.
"I'm not understanding. Space means... they'll be away from me. They can't, you can't." She said, like she was stating a fact, but it still bothered her and she looked up at him. Her head snapped to Ava as she changed back. She liked what she said, an apartment? That sounded nice. Except she'd have to share with Ava, but she supposed that was better than nothing. She'd of course share a room with Jericho, she couldn't be away from him, especially not when sleeping. She'd have to be next to him, but he didn't know that quite yet.
"I have the money for an apartment!" She contributed. "As long as you get your own room." She said, glaring at Ava. She would have her own room, that was a definite. She wasn't going to let her anywhere nearby herself or Jericho.

"I have the money for an apartment!" She contributed. "As long as you get your own room." She said, glaring at Ava. Jericho looked at Ero and Ava, before breaking from the hug and taking a step from the river. "Well... I guess we should begin walking, I guess." Jericho said, taking another look at Ava before his eyes fell on Ero. She's killed her obsessions before... do I even have a chance to break her free from the insanity that's taken a hold of her? It sounds like I'm stuck with her, so I might as well try to make her happy and try to find her calmer side.

Scoffing, her arms crossed over her chest. "Seriously? Are you that numb? We are being chased, and hunted down by Ibex. And you want to split up? Why, aren't you the brains," she hissed, shifting her weight onto her right leg, "I could sense you back there, you used too much of your powers, weakening yourself. Ibex will catch onto that quicker then me, and I have powers. We are sharing the same room, and no, I will not be sleeping anywhere near your precious treasure. Actually, I won't be sleeping at all. While you two cuddle and whatnot, I'll be wide awake making sure we dont get assasinated in our sleep. If you don't agree with it, I don't really give a flying shit, I have money, Ill buy the room myself if I must." She sighed heavily, shaking her head. She glanced to Jericho, and shrugged, "Probably our best bet," she grumbled, and began walking forward, looking farther ahead to see a small pathway into the woods. Earlier while she was flying, she could see that this exact trail would lead them to teh closest town in less then 5 minutes.
