Saphira has been on her own for a while now. Without the care and protection of the sorceress who made her what she was and raised her, she was lost. She still deeply misses her sorceress friend, but knows she must live for the future rather than dwelling on the past. Forced to live off the land, finding her own food and contending with natural predators was a much rougher life than she was used to, but she was adjusting. The wonder of the world beyond anything she ever knew helps to keep her going. It's a bright, sunny afternoon and Saphira is on the move, soaring through the skies overhead when she spots a lake up ahead. Drawn by it's beauty and also the prospect of the food it likely contained beneath it's surface, and perhaps also subconsciously by the magic of it's enchantment, she began flying toward it. As she neared the lake, she began to descend eventually coming to land upon the surface of the lake about two dozen feet from the Silver Road Wheelhouse. She looked around briefly before plunging her head down into the water, feeding on any aquatic plant life and small fish she could reach with the extension of her long slender neck. There seemed to be plenty to eat, which was good, because she was quite hungry.

Vinsue had had quite an adventure so far. A few new treasures now sat in her backpack. Her backpack against a tree that was not far away as she sat agenst a tree resting in human form near the water. So far she had had a long flight and still had a long way home. For once the hood of her brown robe was down allowing her white hair to show as she slept in the hot sun. 

Aqua, her white hatching with a black main and turas, her black hatching with blue stripes, played hearby. Turis played in the water and came out to tag her sister as aqua stayed away from the water and played tag back. 

When the swanlike creature landed in the lake the hatchings got curious. Aqua sneaked around the bank as turis dived below the water. Both deciding that the creature would be lunch. Aqua was ready to pounce if the creature came on shure. Turis leaped out of the water and spread her wings hoping to get the neck and land on its back.

Saphira was so busy eating herself that she failed to notice the dragon hatchlings that were planning on trying to have her for lunch. Well, that was at least until one of them leaped onto her back and started biting at the base of her neck. Rather surprised by this turn of events, since her head was still underwater as this all happened, she quickly spread her wings wide and pulled her head and neck above water, dropping a beak-full of the vegetation she was about to eat in the process. "Ouch! Get off!" She squawked at the hatchling on her back before attempting to bite the young dragon with the intent of holding on as she swung her neck to try and throw the dragon hatchling off of her.

Through all this, it occurred to her that these were just baby dragons, and she wondered if mommy or daddy were around. She swallowed hard with fear, doubting she could even out-fly, much less out-fight an adult as even these hatchlings could probably kill her if she didn't defend her neck. She looked around a bit, but since she was looking for a large scaly dragon, she obviously didn't find one, and completely overlooked the woman with white hair resting against a tree nearby.

The young dragon on her back stopped at the words. But did not have time to tilt its head before the goose bit its wing and flung her off. She scratched as she was in the air. With a big splash she landed in the water but did not come up untell she was almost on the bank.

At the scratch vinsue awake and was quickly on her feet looking around. Spotting  aqua she rann over. Looking for the black one. "Where is turas?" She said looking over the nearby aria. Seeing the little one emerge. Its wing hurt. "What happened." She said as she picked it up and sat down. And began inspecting the wing. Than began healing it. As aqua used a series of squeaks to tell what happened. "You know i don't want you  to hunt alown. And i do not want to want you two in the water when im not looking.

Saphira actually felt a little sorry for the little dragon, she hadn’t meant to injure the poor thing, but the way it had ‘attacked’ her she had a hard time grabbing a specific part of its body with her beak. She took a moment to preen the spot where the hatchling had bit her, adjusting the short feathers along her neck back into place as best she could. After that was done she swam to the shore of the lake and walked up onto land. Moving under the shade of a small tree, she laid down to rest a bit, watching the young woman with Turas, hoping no permanent harm had been done. After a while, she spread her wings and began preening the rest of her feathers, making sure they were all properly arranged to both keep her warm and to keep air resistance down to a minimum in flight. She wasn’t really paying much attention to the fact that Vinsue was talking to the hatchlings.

"It spoke human?" She said looking over the water both hatchings sneaking off to again atack the bird thing. Vinsue wicled at them once she spotted what they were doing. Both stopped and walked up to Vinsue before climbing up to her shoulders and sat.

She was glad they were good at falling orders. "You.  Speak?" She said as she approached Saphira yet kept her distance.
