genessia | Do you want to tame a wyvern~? [Log]

It had been far too long since Camilla had been able to soar through the skies astride a wyvern. Ever since she first learned to, it had been one of the few outlets of freedom she'd really had considering her mother. It hadn't been too much of an issue since her arrival in Genessia, cut off from Nohr and the responsibilities that came with being royalty, but she had begun feeling the itch to soar through the skies once more. During her off time from her job, she'd been researching the breeds of dragons native to Fayren and where they usually nested for the winter. After diligent research into the matter and a day off from her job, she decided the time was right.

She didn't want to go into the mountains alone for obvious reasons, but she also didn't want to burden her family. Thankfully, Andy had entranced Camilla with her knowledge of strange technologies and food while showing interest in the more fantastical that was normal to Camilla. Besides, Camilla owed Andy a date from the auction and this seemed like the perfect excuse to introduce her newest suitor to the rest of her family.

She hummed to herself as she finished packing supplies and gear at Lakendell, glancing out the nearby window, looking for any sign of Andy. After all, it probably wouldn't make for the best of first impressions if Xander or Leo answered the door. She loved her brothers but they had such scary faces at times.

[Log for Andy and Camilla going into the mountains for wyvern taming, with a mingling place for the Lakendell folks before they set off.]

[Camilla was used to the cold, as chilly as Nohr can be, but she still takes a long fur robe from her pack and slips it on.]

Ah, no burgers for breakfast. When I'm cooking, you will eat healthy.

[She starts rummaging in one of the packs, producing a large iron pan, a large block of something wrapped in paper, and a small box that she opened to reveal several eggs in. Once all the ingredients were laid out, Camilla picked up the tome near her axe and after flicking a page, conjured a roaring fire that helped chase away the lingering chill in the area before unwrapping the large block of bacon and beginning to fry the eggs and bacon. This is what passes as healthy in Nohr.]

[ The sight and smell of bacon and eggs was better than any coffee she could have drank to wake her up this morning, immediately putting a smile in Andy's face. She happily chows down with Camilla, sitting shoulder to shoulder with her lover and just basks in each other's presences as they energize for their mission. Idly chit-chat filled those minutes they spent eating, but as soldiers they were quick to finish and get ready.

Andy left her armor behind to guard their camp after Camilla told her to not bring it, for it could disturb the wyverns into a panic. Andy complied, taking the lead higher into the mountains with her railgun rifle at the ready. The morning fog haven't settled fully yet, but Andy can see just fine thanks to her Archon enhancements. Her sharp hearing caused her to stop and lower her weapon to listen in, with the sound of a distressed cry of a large creature ]

It sounds close. Come on.

[ The mountain made the sound seem farther away, but being used to nature, Andy could tell where the source was from the sound alone. She quickens her pace and keeps her weapon ready in case there's poachers. And from the sound of it, there are a group of them waiting and surrounding an injured young wyvern. A large boulder had trapped it's leg, most likely from a trap designed by the poachers. From behind the bush, Andy crouches down with Camilla as she assess the situation, quietly informing Camilla of what she's observing ]

14 heads out there. They got poleaxes and swords and shields. Usual stuff. But big hunting bows, nasty-looking bolts that would pierce wyvern skin too.

[ It sounds easy pickings for Andy with her more technologically advanced weapon, but she never underestimates her opponents. ]

Let's surprise them. You go right, while I pop 'em from a distance, okay? I got you covered. And hey-

[ She steals a kiss ]

Careful.

[Camilla narrows her eyes at the poachers as they make their plans, tightening her grip on the large steel axe she carried.]

The spears I can handle on my own. The archers are another story. Concentrate on them.

[After returning the kiss, Camilla pauses to take a small bronze colored bottle from her pack and a small scrap of cloth, tying the bottle to a strap on her armor, allowing the bottle to slip behind the ebon garb. Once she was satisfied, she stood, running in a wide angle to confound the poachers where they were coming from before letting out a battle cry and leaping into the air, axe glinting in the morning light.]

[ The poachers have sensed their presence early. Confident in their success, numbers, and hard armor made to withstand wyvern attacks, they played ignorant and thought a couple of people won't be a problem. The archers were ready for Camilla, taking positions that would have been advantageous against an axe-wielding fighter. They assume it's just another bounty hunter, and that Andy is another Fayrenite with weapons on technologically on par with their own.

But they didn't expect Camilla's strength, leaping to the air made them miss their initial shots as each bolt landed on the ground. But quick to reload, they aimed at Camilla even at the expense of their spear-wielding comrades. Who also were startled by the display of brawn from a woman. Behind the archers was a whistle that called their attention, Andy fires a bolt from her railgun that killed one of the archers flat. Despite their prided hard armor, the railgun flew through it like it didn't exist. Not only that, but the sheer velocity of the shot decapitated the archer, turning his upper half into bits and pieces.

Terrified at the display, the remaining archers' instincts kicked in and wanted revenge. Andy would have spared them but they chose to fight, each of them dying before they could even process what was going on. Even the archer who hid behind a gigantic boulder wasn't saved. The rail round ignored even the stone wall before it, turning the giant rock into a rain of sand just as Camilla killed the spearmen. ]

Clear.

[ Andy shouts, signaling to Camilla with a raised hand as she approaches. Her weapon remains grouped to her shoulder as she does a check of the surroundings, guarding Camilla as the princess is now free to approach the injured wyvern. The creature remains trapped in the large boulder pinned on it's leg. Crying in anguish and asking for help, Andy didn't need to be instructed to help the trapped creature out. ]

Hang on, I got it.

[ Andy puts her rifle away on a magnetic strip on her back, as she moves toward the boulder. Crouching down to grip it from the bottom, Andy shows off her superhuman strength by lifting what would weigh tons, freeing the creature with a loud thud as the boulder hit the ground. The wyvern immediately snapped at them out of reflex and self-preservation, causing Andy to back down a little to give Camilla some space. ]

Whoa, easy there daisy... Go, do your thing.

[The spearmen stood no chance either, startled at first by Camilla's surprise attack, and secondly by Andy's ambush that the couldn't concentrate on focusing their attacks, making them easy picking for the Malig Knight. Though the spears were sharp enough to pierce wyvern scales, they were also designed to break after doing so, wounding the creature and creating an open wound through which to track them. However, before the sheer weight of Camilla's axe, they snapped harmlessly like twigs, and the princess made quick work of them once disarmed.]

[As Andy moved to free the wyvern from the boulder, Camilla made herself as large as possible, hoping to hold the dragon's attention so Andy could free it without the creature snapping at her. The results were predictable. The Wyvern reached out with its neck and clamped down on Camilla's shoulder, teeth digging into flesh, not that the princess seemed to be particularly concerned. Instead, she just held up a hand to Andy indicating it was alright as she stroked the wyvern's head.]

It's alright now dear, we've come to help you. Those nasty fools won't hurt you anymore. We'll get you back in the skies where you belong in no time.

[After a moment she pulls the gold colored potion from under her breastplate, holding it out to Andy with her good arm, while she struggled to pet the dragon with the injured one.]

Andy, be a dear and pour this on the poor thing's leg. A vulnary should ease the pain.

[As she poke, Andy might notice a faint pale glow in Camilla's eyes, reflected in the dragon's as it starts to relax some.]

[ Andy's first instinct was to grab her rifle when the wyvern chomped down on Camilla's shoulder. Andy picked her weapon from her back and was ready to fire so quick it was like a flick. But luckily Camilla raised her hand in time before Andy could shoot the creature down, putting her weapon away and taking a few steps back with the potion. Worried she may be for Camilla, that glow in her eyes and her reassurance that it's okay have calmed Andy's fighting instincts a little enough to just comply, pouring the potion on the dragon's injury. ]

What about you?

[ Andy's got some medigel that could instantly heal injuries, but she'll have to apply that later, she thought. ]
