(Forest) Scared little Girl?

[Prof Octavious Everritt]

Leigh smiled at the girl. 'Never seen one? Never met one? You're about to.' He said with a mischievous grin on his face. He turned and looked upwards as a dark shape appeared before the moon and descended down to their position. He heard the beat of the wings as Shiela landed with little sound.

The Antipodean Opaleye looked at the group with intrigue in her eyes, her fearsome features slightly softened but nonetheless she was still dragon enough. She pulled her wings back and lowered herself down to the ground, using her right forelimb to allow the girl and Addis to reach her back where it was easiest to do so.

'My friend, meet Shiela, dragon extraodinaire.' Leigh said with a smile. He looked at Gobien and bowed. 'I do believe I am a man of great importance now. She is not a fabrication of a spell, she is real. She eats and sleeps, she wanders the deepest parts of the mountains and will now help you if you so need it. A dragon is a great friend to have in dire consequences.'

He turned to the student. 'She won't hurt you, she'll eat the Ministry hands down, but not you. She knows that you're a student and will protect you with her life as would I.' Leigh said. 'Now, get on her back and I'll take you safely back to the castle.'

[Alexis Alméida]

"Do i really want to?" she asked herself, something seemed amiss, the place, even wth the beating of the dragons wings, was too quiet. Alexis looked at Jake, she wasnt sure leaving him here alone was such a good idea, she knew he could handle himself but she felt like something was wrong... Very wrong. And no matter what she couldnt push this feeling, the hairs on the back of her neck stood up, as she turned to look at the trees behind her, though it was too dark to make anything of it.

She turned and was face to face with a real dragon, "Oh.. My" Alexis stammered, finding herself stepping back even more to the edges of the trees where she had just looked. She saw the dragon bend down but she wasnt entirely convinced, and unless Alexis was sure on something, she wouldnt do it. Slowly, she shook her head.

"I think... I would prefer to... Walk back if i have to" she said looking at the dragon named Sheila. Alexis was nervous, and this time, she didnt bother to hide it, instead she strayed further back to the trees, even with all of her insides yelling dont move back anymore, it was like suddenly, her legs were moving without her say so. "I uh.. Uhm" Alexis couldnt keep her eyes of the dragon, it was huge. She was scared.
