"Sounds good to me." Keahi nodded and sat on the ground, swinging her bag off her shoulder as she did so. She did not open it, however, just tossed it aside. "Deloi," she commanded. A round depression appeared between the two girls. With another word from the old tongue, loose sticks flew from the surrounding area and into the hole. "Brisingr." Silver fire ignited on the wood, the light it cast looking oddly like bright moonlight.
"Keahi, Isis has offered to hunt for some meat, but do you eat meat?" The elder Rider took her time in answering this question, watching a salamander crawl amongst the rocks. In the silence, the playful trickling of a nearby creek was clearly audible in addition to the crickets who had just begun to play their nighttime song. A wolf howled far in the distance. "I was raised in the traditional style of the elves, and my training should have added to my aversion to meat. All the same, I enjoy the taste and texture, and my connection with Sílvrea has lead me to understand the natural order of things is that everything is eaten by something else. I do eat meat, but only when not in Du Weldenvarden. When you eventually journey to Elesméra—as you inevitably will—I suggest you avoid meat as well. To eat it behind their backs is discourteous, and that just means trouble among the elves."

wow! I'm jealous she is wiser than me! don't be she did not run around for weeks alone in the forest, she was raised with elves who are wiser than any human! your right Ayedale stared for a moment wondering what to say, questions came into her head like had keahi got into to trouble with elves? Did she want meat? she held her tung. Isis go get some deer or any thing we could cook be careful though. She Finlay thought of what to say " Isis will go get some" OOC: sorry for taking long i had to fight for the computer

//OOC| Isn't Ayedale fifteen? 'Cause Keahi's seventeen, which would make her two years older. XD \\
"Isis will go get some." "Good." There was silence for a time while the green dragon searched. Sílvrea surveyed the human Rider, one silver eye the size of Ayedale's fist locked on her. I wonder, Ayedale, do you know how to block off your mind so none can enter it?

Ayedale stared at the trees around her, as if in a trance. I wonder, Ayedale, do you know how to block off your mind so none can enter it? This awoken her " no... I've never thought about it, so I guess no i dont know how to." Isis spotted a deer she ran in to the trees and chased, the deer your mine! she tried to bite it but it doged her teeth come here deer!youre mine! OOC: I will fix it

"No... I've never thought about it, so I guess I don't know how to." A puff of smoke emitted from Sílvrea's nostrils and curled away into the sky as she snorted with discontent. As a dragon, she'd had the ability from birth. Even after Keahi had explained what it was like to have your mind practically opened for you—and how confusing the prospect seemed to have been to learn to close it again—she didn't fully understand the concept. Her question had been a sort of personal experiment in an attempt to see if it came naturally for some Riders, or if they all had to learn. Do you remember what it was like after Isis hatched for you and you were marked with the gedwëy ignasia? How it seemed as if barriers around your mind had fallen away?

Ayedale thought about this for a while choosing the right words "Yes I do I felt as if i was not at a limit to my abilities, I felt as a type of cage was lifted of my mind, could you teach me to block off my mind so none can enter it" Isis pounced on her prey Yes! ha! eat that deer! she decided to skin the deer so they can cook it faster.

"Yes I do. I felt as if I was not at a limit to my abilities, I felt as if a type of cage was lifted off my mind." Good, good.... "Could you teach me to block off my mind so none can enter it?" That is what I intend to do, Sílvrea replied, a touch of amusement coloring her voice. To close your mind requires a great deal of focus, concentration, and determination. For the most basic protection, focus on a simple object, like this rock. Sílvrea flicked a pebble toward Ayedale with the tip of a claw. I want like you to practice with this first. I will then attempt to break into your mind. If I get in, do not be discouraged—I am a dragon and you are a human attempting this for the first time.

//OOC| Here's a little tip: Try typing it as if the entire post above happened. Describe play-by-play her point of view through everything that happened previous to your post. \\
Sílvrea waited several minutes, watching the human Rider. Without warning, she reached out with her mind for Ayedale's. Once she found it, she discovered it was defended to a mild degree, as if screened by paper She shoved at the Rider's mental defenses, crushing them with a couple very mildly-powered blow. Not bad. Do you want to try again, or move on to more advanced defense?

OOC:is this better
she sensed the dragon in her mind she knew her defenses were not strong enough.Do you want to try again, or move on to more advanced defensethinking hard she thought of the possibilities maybe i should try again just to get good at it. Can I try again of course! how stupid am I! "I would like to try again to get better" she asked the dragon this very politely. Isis moved quickly through th woods Aye, now there is a good plump deer! thought Isis as she saw A fat deer waddling past her, she pounced on the deer and tour at her flesh scarfing down the remains. Uh oh I ate It oh crap! what ever 1 deer is good enough

//OOC| Much. ;D \\
Once the dragon had entered the human's mind, she retreated so as to leave her her privacy. "I would like to try again, to get better." Diligence, determination... Very nice... Sílvrea thought to herself, examining the Rider again, her visible eye scanning her up and down from head to toe. Ayedale was exhibiting traits that would one day make her a talented young Rider, no doubt about it. Very well. Focus your entire mind on the pebble and try again.

OOC: ;D
this time Ayedale was determined to stop the dragon from coming into her mind she picked up the stone and started to concentrate very hard on It. Isis peeked through the bushes, the almost emerald looking dragon with a dead deer on her back watched silently she looked at her rider looking at a stone, I better not disturb her. so the dragon walked as quiet as she could over to the fire.

Sílvrea waited slightly longer this time before shoving at her barriers again. She was surprised to discover that her shield was much stronger than before, more like steel than paper. Very good... She shoved again, harder this time. It didn't give. Focused quite single-mindedly... excellent.... She retreated for a second, then lunged, full force, against the mental barrier. It shattered. Excellent work, almost prodigious. Do you want to try again, move on, or stop for now?

Excellent work, almost prodigious. Do you want to try again, move on, or stop for now? Isis dropped the meat on the ground Meats ready! " I guess were about to have dinner, can we practice more again tomorrow?'' Ayedale snapped a branch, and stuck it through the meat she tore two strips of raw meat of before she started to cook she asked both Isis and silvrea "here you go do you want some?" sorry no thanks I ate all ready Ayedale laughed and began to cook the meat.

"I guess we're about to have dinner, can we practice more again tomorrow?'' Of course, replied Sílvrea with a dip of the head. Keahi, who had been laying in the grass with her eyes closed throughout the entire training session, at up at Isis' mentioning of meat. She watched as Ayedale tore two strips of raw meat off the dead doe and offer one to each dragon. "Do either of you want some?" Isis refused. Sílvrea, on the other hand, bent her neck and lapped up the meat, her rough tongue gripping it like a hook. I never refuse a food offering!
