"He was a strong prey to hunt but he was far to careless. He might of succeeded if you hadn't made that call, you know that Rain?” said the Raptor walking over to her
“ Yes he was, I don’t think I had ever faced an opponent like him, and I hope never will I again,” said Rain not wanting to think of the last part.
“ Thinking about it you may just get a medal." He said patting her on the head.
“Sir I need no medal or reward, I did this out loyalty,” she said
"You did good, impressed me even, reminded me of a true raptor on a hunt not a small feat I must say. You thought quickly, made good callss and even sssaw throught the guys disstraction." Let his hand drop down he glancced back at the body and then back towards the guards who were getting closer.
“ Thank Dak sir, It was also an honor to work with a seasoned hunter like your self sir” she said trying to stay as formal as possible.
"In all honestly I probably shouldn't of killed him though, now Ravessss can't interrogate him. No worries though, I'll take the flak for it, it was my misstake after all. ow come on weve got to go explain this all to thosse two putzess." “ No it is ok lady Ravess did give me orders to kill, if nessairy”
"You two explain yourselves, you assault two talon guards, barge into the command tent, barge out and then try to flee! There had better be an explanation for all of this!" The other guard had gone passed the Dak and Rain and examind the SkyKnights body on the ground. "Sir, this mans dead!" Looking back from the other guard directly at Dak his tone turned grave and his eyes severe. "So now you murdered a Talon? This can be considered treason and unless there is an explanation fast I will have you hung!"
Snorting and laughing at the guard in front of him Dak leaned over him and bared his fangs and bared his fangs. "You?! You are nothing! I report only to Masster Cycloniss, The Elitess and the cyclonian high command and thatsss only cause their the oness who pay my expenssess! You have no sssay over my fate and you had better realize it before your threatsa make me angry enough to sssnap your twig like little neck! Now Rain, sseeing as I tend to sscare people for ssome reasson would you mind giving them the full sstory, I'll go get the body." Turning around Dak headed to the corpse behind him Rain look at the guards they had no right or authority to tell her or Dak what to do, but they where noting to let herself or Dak go with out a fight. By all rights the Raptor should have killed theme but she had seen enough death for one night.
“ Girl you have better tell us what happed or you will have the same fate as him,” said one guard pointing at Dak.
Rain tried to explain to the guards about the assassin, but they were not buying it.
“How do we know that you two where not the ones planning to assassinate the Commander Ravess and that guy was the one who was trying to stop you and failed,’ he said
“If we where miss Ravess and yourselves would be dead right now,” she said her voice full of distaste.
“ That’s a,” but before he could continued Rain had pull out her blade, it now was at the other Talons neck
“ How about we let mistress Ravess decided this?” said as the two guards nodded in agreement with her.

'She can be down right scary at times, bit to formal and what not but she'll work past that I hope. No fun keeping yourself all straightlaced like that. Though, I guess, I do appreciate the profesionalism shes been dealing with this, so unlike the other talons and mercenaries Ive worked with before. Heaving the body on to his shoudlers he walked passed the two talons and headed back to the tent. "You three coming or am I going to have to deal with a hormonal Ravesss all by mysself?"
"There you are, you great stupid beast! What were you doing barging through here like that?" Ravess watched as the group entered the tent and waited for an answer. Then her face turned into an expression of confusion as Dak dropped the mans dead body on the middle table. "There he'ss the meaning of all thisss." "What do you mean 'he's' the meaning? This had better not be some joke. I may not like all of my men but I damn well have reasons before killing them!" Swatting Daks snout with her violin bow and then jabbing him in the chest she continued to demand answers. Swatting her jabs away and grabbing his nout in and effort to ease the soreness he stared with wide eyes at the possibly mental Ravess. "Aargh, calm down woman, this guyss the one who started the bloody fire and if it weren't for Rain and me thisss guy would of nearly killed you!" Stopping short she took a glance at the corpse she calmed down almost immediately and examined the body. "Your sure this is him?" Dak nodded. "Check hiss arm, he doessn't have the talonss tattoo." "So I see." Lifting the mask off the she nodded. "Yes I recognize him, Alvine Alphonse, a Sky Knight originally from the Terra Gale, leader of the Windy Peaks, atleast he was before I wiped them out. Explain to me why SkyKnights go so pathetically suicidal if something tragic happens to them. Surely youve heard of Starling? Shes got the same problem with Repton. Pathetic excuse for soldiers." Then almost immediatly she turned on Dak again. "Now tell me why he's dead? I gave permission for Rain to use deadly force because she isn't a fully qualified or experienced fighter like you and as loath as I am to admit it you are quite capable so how could you not subdue him with out killing him? I wanted this fool to suffer for what he did and what he planned to do." "To be fair misstress when you gave those orders he was but an arsonist not an assasin, I believed it would of have been best not to bother you with him at all and simply of disposing of the body. However these two insisted that they get personal conformation from you directly." Glaring at Dak her face twisted into sarcastic looking sneer. "Yes Im sure you were very worried about my feelings. Youve done this several times already, five I believe, I give you an order to deal with a problem and something always end up dead, Id be wearing you as boots if it weren't for the fact that you atleast get the job done. Unlike my own damn talons. You two leavem I'll be speaking to you two later about your 'conduct' but for now, GO!" She glared as the two talons fearfully rushed out of the tent flap and then sighed. "Whatever, I'll let you off again...that is I will, but only if you bring me back some of that wine from Terra Rosso again." Smirking faintly Dak gave a bow and agreed. "Yes misstresss Ravesss itss the leasst I could do after all, and it is one of your favouritess after all." "However any praissse for finding the actual guy should go to Rain here, sshe ssaw through hiss planned distraction and even made the call on where to find him. She says she doesn't need any praisse but I think she could use the ego boosst." "Is that so, well, well it seems as if you performed quite well today. I will have to make sure to reward you somehow later, perhaps I shall have you accompany me to one of the opera showings or maybe even to one of the performances of the Cyclonian Philharmonic Orchestra. Fufufufu, we could even drag the lizard along as punishment for killing this fool before I could interogate him." Giggling madly at Daks look of distaste she waited for Rain to respond. She didn't get alot of time to enjoy simply teasing a person so she figured she might aswell enjoy herself. Unlike with the talons she did not need to keep Daks in line, he did that himself so long as he was paid and given something to hunt, and because she obviously was stillt he authority and the uperior of the two she was in a unique position to tease the raptor mercilessly, as for Rain she already believed to have her complete loyalty so she had no problems with her presence, unlike the dunder heads who made up her 'elite' talon guard, idiots.

"You three coming or am I going to have to deal with a hormonal Ravesss all by mysself?" yelled the Raptor as Rain put a way her sword giving the two an evil gaze, that would have put a smile to her teacher's lips. Rain had learned that mimicking the behavior of her superiors could get talons to do what she wanted, and this sometimes worked better then playing the role of the sweet and innocent young girl did. On the walk Rain had just wanted to stay as far way from the corpse, and she made sure to stay ten or more steeps away from as they walked back.
"There you are, you great stupid beast! What were you doing barging through here like that?" Ravess watched as the group entered the tent and waited for an answer. The young talon felt the color of her face fade away when Dak released the dead knight's corpse on the table. The deceased man was stiff, as Rigamortis had set in.
"There he'ss the meaning of all thisss."
"What do you mean 'he's' the meaning? This had better not be some joke. I may not like all of my men but I damn well have reasons before killing them!" said the commander as she swatted the raptor with her bow and then jabbing him in the chest she continued to demand answers. Rain was shocked did her mentor not believe them? "Aargh, calm down woman, this guyss the one who started the bloody fire and if it weren't for Rain and me thisss guy would of nearly killed you!", said Dak as he rubbed the area of his noes where Ravess's bow had whacked him. The girl forced herself to watch as her leader looked over the body.
"Your sure this is him?"
Dak nodded. "Check hiss arm, he doessn't have the talonss tattoo." "So I see." Lifting the mask off the she nodded. "Yes I recognize him, Alvine Alphonse, a Sky Knight originally from the Terra Gale, leader of the Windy Peaks, atleast he was before I wiped them out. Explain to me why Sky Knights go so pathetically suicidal if something tragic happens to them. Surely you've heard of Starling? Shes got the same problem with Repton. Pathetic excuses for soldiers." The swordsman's hair stood on end at the fact, that after Ravess removed the 'talons' headgear it had turned the head of the dead man so now his lifeless eyes where gazing striate at her.
Then almost immediately the woman turned on Dak again. "Now tell me why he's dead? I gave permission for Rain to use deadly force because she isn't a fully qualified or experienced fighter like you and as loath as I am to admit it you are quite capable so how could you not subdue him with out killing him? I wanted this fool to suffer for what he did and what he planned to do" Dak could see Rain was in distress as she looked more like a sard cat then one of Cyclonia's finest. Luckily the two guards where to dummy to look over at the girl, but he still had to get them out before they did.
"To be fair misstress when you gave those orders he was but an arsonist not an assasin, I believed it would of have been best not to bother you with him at all and simply of disposing of the body. However these two insisted that they get personal conformation from you directly."
Glaring at Dak her face twisted into sarcastic looking sneer. "Yes Im sure you were very worried about my feelings. You've done this several times already, five I believe, I give you an order to deal with a problem and something always end up dead, Id be wearing you as boots if it weren't for the fact that you atleast get the job done. You two leave I'll be speaking to you two later about your 'conduct' but for now, GO!" She glared as the two talons fearfully rushed out of the tent flap and then sighed.
It worked
"Whatever, I'll let you off again...that is I will, but only if you bring me back some of that wine from Terra Rosso again." Smirking faintly Dak gave a bow and agreed. "Yes misstresss Ravesss itss the leasst I could do after all, and it is one of your favouritess after all." "However any praissse for finding the actual guy should go to Rain here, sshe ssaw through hiss planned distraction and even made the call on where to find him. She says she doesn't need any praisse but I think she could use the ego boosst."
"Is that so, well, well it seems as if you performed quite well today.

Fufufufu, we could even drag the lizard along as punishment for killing this fool before I could interrogate him." Giggling madly at Daks look of distaste she waited for Rain to respond.
Rain snapped out of it, she had never in her time as an apprentice, did ever she receive such a remark from her teacher, clearing her throat she said "I would liked that vary much ma'am".
"Then it's decided," said the older woman
later on after they had left the tent, Rain made sure no one was looking, before giving Dak a hug then said, "thank you".

Ruffling the girls hair again and laughing. He felt good for the kid, she worked really hard and took part in probably her first ever real hunt, which was more than most adults could say and she said that she needed no reward. He knew better though, she was just a kid and kids like to get praise from those they idolised, she deserved it to. "Not a problem, I hadn't had this much fun in a long time and you made a great partner. Ive gotta head out though, we've already got another asssignment from one of the elites. This time its hunting down some vulca bats for Ssnipe again." As he spoke the name left a foul taste in his mouth. "I hate doing misssionss for him really, their always boring and no challenge. I actually like working under Ravesss, much more so than Ssnipe or the Dark Ace, we sort of just buttheadss whenever we meet, Chussi ssayss itss ssomething called machissmo or ssomething thatss the causse behind it. Ravesss doess alsso tend to give out good misssionss. Pluss theress thes fact that sshess more of a raptor than than mosst actual raptors. Extremely cunning, sstrivesss to be besst and ruthlesss definitely very much like a raptor. " Saying this he smirked and looked back at the tent. Suddenly a loud voice erupted from the tent. "Get off my terra you useless lizard and get me my wine here by the end of the week!" "Hahaha and its alwayss fun to messs with her and her talonss, don't look at me like that i saw you glaring at the guards earlier. Sshesss right though, I need to go. Walk me to my sskyride?"

"Not a problem, I hadn't had this much fun in a long time and you made a great partner. Ive gotta head out though, we've already got another asssignment from one of the elites. This time its hunting down some vulca bats for Ssnipe again." He said. Rain could tell that Dak did not really like Snipe, and to tell the truth she herself disliked the man her self.
" Snipe is a very difficult person to work with", she admitted not wanting to accidentally say too much.
"I hate doing misssionss for him really, their always boring and no challenge. I actually like working under Ravesss, much more so than Ssnipe or the Dark Ace, we sort of just buttheadss whenever we meet, Chussi ssayss itss ssomething called machissmo or ssomething thatss the causse behind it. Ravesss doess alsso tend to give out good misssionss. Pluss theress thes fact that sshess more of a raptor than than mosst actual raptors. Extremely cunning, sstrivesss to be besst and ruthlesss definitely very much like a raptor. " He said as looked back.
Just then Ravess yelled,"Get off my terra you useless lizard and get me my wine here by the end of the week!"Daktyl and Rain grind.
"Hahaha and its alwayss fun to messs with her and her talonss, " he laughed, as she glared at him.
"Don't look at me like that I saw you glaring at the guards earlier. Sshesss right though, I need to go. Walk me to my sskyride?" he asked her and she humbly obliged. She smirked to herself to know that she could frighten a raptor like Dak with her 'mimic glare', She would have to try it out on Repton and his brothers the next time she saw them.
Before Dak left "Dak sir, Can you do me a favor, could you tell Snipe's apprentice If you see him That I said hello?" she asked the immense Raptor…..
Rain yawed, it was now morning and she had not gotten any sleep, as she crawled into bed, she konwn would be back in Cyclonia by tomorrow afternoon.

Mounting his bone wing he stopped paused for a second as Rain spoke. "Dak sir, Can you do me a favor, could you tell Snipe's apprentice If you see him That I said hello?" "Ssnipess got an apprentice now? When did that happen...but ssure why not, I'll assk around and if I see him I'll tell him you said hi, no guarantees he won't be scared though." Starting the skyride he flashed the young talon a grin. "Guess this is farewell atleast for now that is. Your always welcome on the whiptail if you pass us by." Patting the girl on the head one last time he readied himself to take off. "Well itss been fun girlie, keep up the good work and keep thosse guardss in line and HAHAHA maybe one day you'll be the one giving me misssionss." With that Dak sped off down the runway before he made the jump and the wings unfolded. Soon he was just a black speck in the morning light.
-Dak has flown off the terra-
