Danihg looked a Willow and smiled for the first time showing he had fangs, "Oh it is still a beautiful name.." He put his arms out raising them as he said her name, "Willow Moonblade. It doesn't sound strange at all too me. Come and follow me I will lead you to water while we wait for Laena." The ordriey offered a hand to her and waited but showing his arm he was revealed to be a live metal construct.

"You're not the first elf I've met but you aren't a sun elf that is. I am an ordriey. Uh well really what I am is a Dream Dragon. I am actually a dragon but not a pure breed. I am also half faerie." Then remembering what Willow said, "I am sorry you have lost many friends as have I myself." He looked at his own arms looking saddened, "I too have a long story Willow but like you I will have to make it short. At some time ago I used to serve under a lich. The arch lich which were black and lived in a distant realm yet so close but it was then I was more innocent and became a corrupted monstrous being… I have…"

The ordriey paused for a minute starting to get emotional, "escaped from that fate of being turned into a permanently evil beast but it has left a price. One curse… one mark… I have resulted into turning into a live metal construct with the powers of a lycanthrope. A werewolf. That curse I cannot lift… I would never dare keep this a secrete as to not endanger you without knowing what I can become. When I betrayed the lich I was killed, ripped apart… then was brought back to life… My friends tried their best to save me despite the monster I have been turning into part golem. They truly cared for me but it was only short lived when they were killed by the lich… I wish I could've been able to do something…"

Danihg was now crying and started to walk off in the direction he was to lead the elf to a water source, "I'm sorry I started crying… Please follow me I know where water is and it is very close by." But after that he turned around coming back and offering a hand again.

Willow would feel bad for him hearing his sad tale she would smile and take his hand with her own getting to her feet and following "Life has a strange way of working out " she would say to him giving a soft smile she would keep following him recalling the very first time she fought a litch and that was no walk in the park for her either. "Do you live out here?" she would ask him trying to get his mind off of personal matters and trying to befriend him.  

Taking her hand and getting up she followed him. It made him feel happier that he had someone by his side. Danihg looked up to her, "Yes it does. Things can do come in the way that would never be expected." He was then asked the question do you live out here. The ordriey shook his head, "No… I don't. I have no home at all. The forest certainly is very nice but it still is not home…" Then for a few miles traveled and then he stopped suddenly with his ears perked. Danihg then went ahead and came back. He grabbed her hand gently and led her to a stream which he sat down. With his other hand he scooped up hand fulls of water and drank. "Here Willow." His voice was very soft and gentle unlike the first time he spoke to her. Then he suddenly became wary and didn't feel comfortable and he raised his tail up.

Willow would smile watching him and listening to his question she would be thankful when the at last reached the water she would also be glad he helped her down. Kneeling down she would wash her hands of the blood once her hands are clean she would cup her hands and bring them up to her lips taking small sips of the cool refreshing water. Thankful he came around she watched him a moment able to tell he is on edge "Whats wrong?" she asked him slowly rising to her feet. looking around brushing a few strands of red hair away from her face. 

Danihg looked at her cocky, "I-I I'm sorry I get too paranoid because I've been attacked by a few strange beasts here before. You never know what kinds of creatures can live out here and many of them can be quite dangerous." He then sat back down still swiveling his ears then mentioned, "Leana should be back soon."

He came closer to her side looking up and listening to see if she would be anywhere but she wasn't seen yet. Shaking his head he stared at the water flowing still tensed up. The ordriey didn't want to be there anymore feeling a bit unsafe but there wasn't much to do as far as Danihg had thought to himself.

Willow would continue to drink some water to rehydrate after a bit she would reach to her side and untie her bandage and starts to wash her injury the fresh water felt wonderful against her skin taking the fever away from the wound, the wound would be a claw mark gash it would be deep gash but not lethal. Sticking her folded-up bandage in the water to clean it she would dunk it seven times bringing it out once it was as clean as she could get it she would place it back on the wound and retire it again. A soft sigh would escape her lips as she would at last wash her face getting the dirt, and other things like blood showing her skin is youthful showing that she is not very old. "We can move on if you want to" she would say to him. 

Danihg immediately nodded saying, "Yes I feel that it would be best for us to move on if we are not to risk having being stalked by a beast of sorts." He bent down to drink from the water some more to rehydrate himself. Afterwards he stood up and began to move on to another area.

The ordriey then stopped as Leana had came flying back screeching. He put an arm out as she landed on his forearm and he spoke to her, "What have you found? Oh……." He put his head down shaking it then pointed Willow in the direction they had come from and sighed, "Come on we've been walking away from it this whole time. The own is down that way if is still… there… Things become lost so quickly."

He came up to Willow with a raised eyebrow and grinned, "At least we know where we are going now…" His tail swished from side to side with some excitement, "You know… When we do reach the town… I am afraid I will have to part from you and go someplace else. It has been nice company with you but before I will leave I will make sure that you do get that proper treatment for the wound and I also want to make sure… make sure… that… you are OK."

He seemed to be a little fine saying that but what he felt and thought was an ache inside that will never go away unless somehow that they would… somehow find… love... between themselves. On the inside he felt like that if he did leave her he would be torn emotionally but he kept it all in himself pent up.

"Danihg why do you have to part from me when we get to town? I don't understand" she would say to him not understanding what is going on. "Look if you are worried about others don't worry I will protect you " she would say to him with a warm smile on her lips. Feeling a little better after having had some water the walk did not seem so bad now. However, she is getting very tired the entire trip is exhausting for her "Danihg can we stop and rest some place I am not able to keep my eyes open much longer" she would say to him, the pain increasing with every passing moment. 

After walking more along he thought about why it was answering her, "I-I do not know…" Then he threw a wild fit, a tantrum of sorts flinging himself to the ground and writhed all in pain and screamed before yelling out loud, "No.. it's the curse that's tearing me apart! I'm sorry… I'm sorry I can feel this body dying all around me! Every time I have fallen in love with or befriended someone they always end up dead. Torn apart, shredded into pieces like a monstrous beast had gotten a hold of them!"

The he was awfully silent after all that, standing back up within minutes breathing heavily.  Danihg was indeed slowly dying and he had lived for quite some time because of the new magical body parts given to him and the lycanthrope curse which had been keeping him alive.

The ordriey stopped so suddenly, turned around lifting Willow up as gently as possible, carrying her like as if she was child, "No we're almost there. I can fly you the rest of the way…" He knew he was risking his own self, his heart and lungs would easily become strained and as a result he would faint if he were to carry Willow to their destination on flight. He thought it was the best to do for the time being not wanting to stop nor rest.

Willow would look at him almost shocked as he picked her up after having what seemed like a strange fit of sorts seeing his face she would think for a moment knowing they are both in danger of many things especially the elements "Please don't  do anything that might cause you personal harm,  I don't want to see my only friend in this place hurt in any way let us find a good group of trees to rest and protect us from the elements. After I rest for a while we can continue on with the trip to town once I get healed I can buy some supplies and we can travel togeather if you want since I have no one that I know other than you in this place." she would say to him. Her own pain starts to overtake her causing her to shake her head to just stay awake a little longer. Willow's mind raced with so many thoughts it was not funny she was having trouble even remembering spells at the moment from being so worn out.
