"It is a bit hard to explain the human appearance thing but its is not an allusion. Not all of us can turn but those that can are special. I am glad to be able to switch for the simple fact of it making talking a lot easier and allows me to go into a village or town without getting hunted." She said as she watched the girl almost trip. She smiled at the girls curiosity and let her hood down. her long straightish hair she left inside the robe.   

"You could have just asked and i most likely would have dropped my hood for you." She said with a joyed almost laughing voice.

"Sorry, I didn't think of that." Synthesis giggled and peered at the other girl's face, "You have lovely eyes… I'm not surprised your a special dragon! So tell me about your armour, please. I can guess it's hard for defence but about the colour? Do you develop it as you grow or are you born with it? Is it for camouflage or for recognising other dragons or does it depend on your parents?"
Sythesis guessed they'd been walkin for quite some time now but she wan't hungry or tired. She realised she didn't really know where they were going or how far and hoped that Vinsue did. In half an hour or so she would suggest they stop for a quick rest and she would read from her Druid Spellbook. Maybe Vinsue might be interested in it. Maybe Vinsue could help her improve her fire based magic; fireballs and such. That would be fun.

"I was born the colored i am now. as of why they are colored the way they are i do not know. i have met very few of my kind and never knew my parents." she said not knowing the answer her self. "I was raised to 16 by a human and abandoned my hatch day. It took me a year to understand survival instances and many times i almost starved but since then i have strived to stay strong and to this day i remain undefeated." 

"That's amazing!" Synthesis praised, "You've done so well for yourself. You should be proud."
They then walked for a short while in silence and the sun began ever so slowly to creep down again in the sky. Clouds in the distance promised a small amount of rain but not for quite some time, depending on the wind. It was even a possibility that it would miss the travellers altogether. A river meandered slowly to the east and there appeared a farmhouse in the distance which may or may not have been inhabited.
Finally, druid suggested a short rest. "Do you want to stop for a little while?" She asked and pulled her canteen out of her back for a swig of water. Then she offered the bottle to Vinsue, "I thought, seeing as you are here, I could practice some fire based magic. I can only summon a light as it is and I'd really like to be able to throw fireballs! My book explains how but its often quite hard to understand some of the terminology inside."

"Yea thats not a bad idea." she said to stopping. she politely declined the water. "I would not mind helping you improve a bit. can i take a look at the book?" She said. She had always loved to read and may be able to interpret some of it for her. She did now every main language in Revaliir and a few others.  

Synthesis pulled her Druid Spellbook from the bag. It was old and worn with a green cover and a tree drawn within a circle on the front. She understood the language within it but the problem was that it was a very old version of the language which had stumped her on many occasions. On top of that there was much reference to magical theory and techniques that she didn't know to start with.
She handed it to Vinsue to have a look at and made to sit down on a springy tuft of grass. She patted the ground next to her in invitation before leaning back on her hands. She closed her eyes and focus on summoning a tiny spark of fire. She allowed it to hover just above her nose in a sort of warm up excersice before allowing it to grow into the size of an ink pot and moving it about a foot above her head. This was about the limit of her ability with fire, though she suspected more practice might yield better results.

She took the book and sat down. The language was like that of when she was young. She noticed the light the girl was playing with and than returned to reading. "I can see how it may be a bit hard to understand. but let's start with a light or flame in your hands. just close your eyes and focus on it being in your hand." She gladly said then made a flame in her hand.

Synthesis did as she was told. She allowed her fire to float down into her palm, but not so close that it would burn her, and held it out in front of her. She could hear it crackle and feel it warm her skin. She sneakily peaked over at Vinsue and tried to match the size of their flames. When it was close enough, she looked ahead and slid her eyes shut again. It was weird maintaining the fire without looking at it, especially seeing as all her concentration was upon it. Whenever Synthesis had conjured a flameball before it was so she could concentrate on seeing around and not on the fire itself. Her mind wandered to what the trick was when throwing fire. Was it strength? Was it magical energy? Was it concentration? She wasn't good at any of these but she was determined to try.

"That's the idea of it." She said as she saw the flame in the right spot then it started to die. "Stop thinking of other things and focus on the flame before it goes out." She said then watched as it was again the right size."Good now open your eyes and have the flame rest in one hand. than just think of it like a stone and just toss it. like this." she than looked as if she was throwing a baseball. it hit a tree and went out. "our turn."

Synthesis did as she was told, struggling to maintain concentration. When she finally had it the right size, she shifted it to only one hand and tried to think of it as a pebble or piece of rock. She made a throwing motion and watched as it fizzled and almost blew out with the air rushing past it. However she managed to fuel it a little more with her mind and the weak flame, sure enough, did release from her hand and fall to the ground a couple feet away from her. Synthesis was torn between dissapointment and exitement. She created another piece of fire, this time a huge fireball and clutched it between her two hands.
"Do you think it will work better if I make it bigger?" she asked, keen to try again.
