Flashback Journey to Ravok

[Ezra Luxford]

14 Winter, 512

Ezra looked around the Wildlands with a new freshness about him. He had finally made a few friends and was about on his way north to Ravok the Floating island of Love and compassion. Though he had heard many stories that the image of love and compassion was only a mask for the betrayal and corruption lurking in its depths.

Ezra had always been curious to how the city floating on water, and what it may feel like to walk on top of It's deep depths, even if there was land in between.
He pulled his backpack over his shoulder, his hair swaying across his forehead, sometimes into his eyes because of the dull wind.
It was pretty cold out lately and his coat was just enough to keep him from freezing.
He shoved his hands inside of his pockets to keep them from being bitten by the cold. He liked the cold but once he cant feel his hands is when he draws the line.

He had checked his bag multiple times to make sure he had everything for his journey, crossing off a mental checklist. Once he was sure he had everything packed and ready to go, he set off, walking in the direction of the beautiful floating island.

Allora was taking a much needed stroll through the woodlands just taking everything in, she always did love winter. When out of the corner of her eye she saw a man that was headed out of town. She immediatly retracted into the shadows lurking after him. She always was curious about the events in everyone elses life. He was walking on the path that lead to the edge of the woods, so Allora wasint far behind him. She never was much of a conversationalist, she was more of the stalk and observe person.

Allora was wondering were he was going nyka, sahova so many places to wonder about. The cold was finaly getting to here and the city sign was within eye sight so Allora had to do something to get this strangers attention or just watch him walk away wondering what his future would consist of.

"Ppstttt!" Allora practicaly hissed, hoping she would actualy get his attention. She just had to know were this man was going.

[Ezra Luxford]

Ezra had been walking for only a few minutes when he heard a strange sounds coming from behind him. It was a sort of hissing sound, that was probably the only way he could describe it. Ezra stopped suddenly alert, his hand was in perfect reach of the katana on his back, if the need for self-defense arrived.
He turned slowly taking in every aspect of the land and the few trees that littered the area. The wind was going up wind so he couldn't smell anything, not that he had a great sense of smell in the first place. It took him a minute but finally his silvery eyes landed on a girl with deep black hair and pale skin that was almost the light shade of his very own; But the feature that stood out the most was probably the shocking blue orbs that could rival the ocean on a sunny day, glittering in the light.
Ezra would call them mesmerizing, though he tried not to show it on his face.
Remembering that she had called him made him remember why he had turned around in the first place, and he asked her a question he most wanted the answer to. "Who are you?"

[Allora Poweress]

The stranger turned around all she could think about was how she was immediatly drawn. The shadows of the trees cast the most eerie shadow on his face to were you could only see his glowing silver eyes.
drawing herself out of the shadows Allora presented herself with great degnity "my name is Allora, i was watching you walking through the woods and i was just wondering where were you going?" Allora voiced without a hint of embarrassment over the fact that she was caught and openly admitted to the fact that she was watching him.

Allora was debating whither or not to tag along with him, with or withour his consent. She was getting rather bored of these woods they were so predicable and she knew these lands like the back of her hand.

[Ezra Luxford]

Ezra watched as the girl fully came out of hiding and practically announced that she had been following him. Well at least she wasn't shy.
Now that she was fully exposed, Ezra took the time to look over her supple curves covered by a white silk dress, black corset and ankle high boots, socks just peeking over the top almost shyly. She was far enough that he couldn't feel her presence, leading Ezra to believe she was trained in hunting and maybe stealth, but he couldn't be sure.
But why follow him? The voice in his head was telling him to ask her to join him on his journey to the island, but he was to stubborn to listen to a voice, even if it was coming from his own head.
He decided to stay cautious and went the safest route. "My name is Ezra, and why did you decide to follow me? there must be more people than me out here."

[Allora Poweress]

Allora was thinking of the proper answer. Why was she following him?
Simlpy because she could never stop wondering about everyone elses actions. "I can never understand my love of everyone elses actions, therefor I like to watch others from the shadows. And you seem to be the only one in the woods besides me thus i had the desire to follow you." she dantily replyed

"And may I ask again, were are you going?' she asked in a way making it obvious that he didnt answer her the first time.
The wind started blowing downhill, she caught the faint scent of peperment and honeysuckle. He smelled wonderfull.
Allora was always quite obsessed with the way people smelled.

[Ezra Luxford]

Ezra wondered whether or not to tell her where he was going. She didn't seem dangerous. His mothers voice echoed in his head a verse that she had nailed into him "Don't judge a book by its cover."
He looked Allora over once more his hair falling over his face, covering one of his eyes.
She looked generally curious, no sign of threat in her crystal blue irises. But there was something feral in them that he just couldn't seem to place. Something wild was dancing on the other side of those innocent blue eyes. Like flames licking at the edge of a fireplace wishing to be free.
He ran his tongue over his lips quickly before speaking "I'm going to the island of Ravok, why is it you wish to know?"

[Allora Poweress]

Allora was getting quite bored of these woods, she had lived here for a few years she never liked to stay in a place for more than a year.
So when she saw this stranger, Ezra traveling through the woods she was hoping to find some to take her in and let her tavel with them. Not many are willing to do so, there was something about her that was unsetteling so they automaticaly said no and got the hell out of there. Yet Allora continously tryed to find someone.


So when Ezra asked what she wished to know Allora jumped on the opportunity and quickly asked "can i join your journey, if you wish i will leave right afer we arrive."

[Ezra Luxford]

Ezra thought calmly about her question, biting his lip softly. He wouldn't mind someone to talk with on the long journey, it wasn't often that someone wanted to even be near him. He would take his chances, but then she has to at least be of use, He didnt want dead weight.
"Do you have any skills of use to me?" He asked her in a polite manner. Or as polite as he could manage. He didn't care what the talent was as long as it was useful to the journey. He didn't have enough supplies for the both of them. The wind blew causing his hair to fly back and out of his face, giving her a better view. His fang was jutting out over his bottom lip slightly and his silver eyes flashed in the sun.
It was only a matter of time before he found out about his race, mixed blood or not, most people tended to stay away from him for fear of getting their 'blood sucked'.
Which made him wonder, What race was she?

[Allora Poweress]

Allora was slightly shocked to see his fangs, she tryed to let as little of it show as possible, she didnt mind what race she taveled with as long as they didnt try to kill her. If they did she would not hesitate to strike back with deadly force.

She was wondering which skills she should tell him, she wanted to reveal as little as possible that way he will always be underestimating her.
"I'm an exilent hunter, and I have wilderness survival skills as well is that good enough to tag along?"

The wind was picking up and the cold was past getting to Allora, she was ready to turn into her animalistic form and get home as soon as possible. She was tired of the conversation she wanted to know if he was going to say yes or no, its to cold out to not get to the point. Can Allora go with Ezra or not? She was really hoping he would say yes at this point.

Allora would love to go with him, he looked like he would be a complete asshole to anyone any change he got, but she didnt care as long as she got someone to actually agree to let her go with them.
