Larkes continued to rub the dragon and when it lifted its head, he smiled a little and scratched its chin gently. This was he most incredible thing! "Really?" The young man said, mostly surprised. "Been a while since I've met someone from one of those kinds of villages." He said, somewhat curious. "But, you still have a great handle on language and such. Nothing wrong with learning a different way." He said with a warm smile. "I'm sure your culture must be vivid in pictures, right? At least that's what I figure, based on what I've seen in our travels." The mouth of the best opened, as it began to pant softly like a canine. It was a lovely, but equally terrifying, thing. "What is your name, man?" He asked. His mouth did not move, but instead an old, robotic voice spoke.

Larkes smiled and continued to pet the beast, despite the terrifying panting noise coming from it. As he heard a robotic, creepy voice come from the beast he immediately scrambled back, breathing hard from shock. "YOU CAN TALK?!" He exclaimed, now curious, shocked, afraid, and a whole lot more emotions all mixed together.

Charles Charles stands at 5'7 and has an average build,not too bulky nor skinny.His skin is a dark brown and his hair is black.His eyes look like the water after you unsettle the riverbed.
Snapper Snapper stands at 8 foot when his head is all the way raised.His wingspan is 30 feet and he's 60 feet from nose to tail tip.His claws are pretty sharp,used for his natural habitat in which is icy and requires good grip.His scales are an icy blue and his eye's look like the ice of freshly frozen water.

Mysha nodded slowly. "Of course. Paintings, sculptures and the like. There's even this cave in a part of the land where my father says the first of my people settled. Most say they were running from some demon or other, but take it how you will. Whatever it was, they ended up there, and drew on the walls with paints and dyes to keep themselves occupied so they wouldn't leave and get caught." She looked down, pausing for a moment. "The images are of course horrible, and worn on top of that, but it's the most sacred place for us. It's where we both confirm our life partners as well as sit for two days once we've been deemed of age by the leader." Snuggling into the blankets more, she decided "We've definitely progressed over the millennia. Maybe I'll paint you something when I get the strength back." And when she found suitable materials of course.

He exclaimed, now curious, shocked, afraid, and a whole lot more emotions all mixed together. "Of course. Cannot you as well? Why should such be a surprise?" He asked, now glancing down upon him. Aldnoa had learned quick movements scared the human, and as such elected to sit still.

Drake smiled a bit at the offer to paint something for him. "Wow, that's quite an offer. I'd very much appreciate that, Mysha." He said happily as he yawned and leaned against Shard some more. "But for now I think we should get some rest." He mumbled, eyes already getting heavy.
"Of course I can talk, but dragons don't talk human!" He said, still nervous and clearly surprised. "Are you even a dragon?" He asked, looking at the beast. "You sound.. metallic and... robotic."

"Robotic." He repeated, liking the sound. "Yes, I am unlike everything else here. You are soft, and warm on the outside. My exterior is cold, I am rough, and yet I live."

He stared in shock and awe. "But... how? That kind of technology was lost to the pages of history millennia ago." He said, clearly skeptical. This was the biggest shock in his life, and wasn't totally sure how to process.

"I awoke in the darkest, dampest dungeon man had created. A bunker, lost to time, was suddenly reactivated after an earthquake shook it awake. Like a beast awakened-" He stopped to chuckle. "Well, that isn't a metaphor, it's the truth. I was brought alive."

(Man,we got some hard core confusion going on over here lol)
(Anyway,here's a starter)
Charles hated this part,trying to control Snapper was like teaching a bat to see."Let's just land and rest."He sighed.The dragon simply let himself fall and,painfully,landed on top of Charles."Get off me you big oof!"

Mysha didn't fall asleep until long after Drake, just thinking until she simply couldn't anymore. And she didn't stir a lick until morning came, her eyes opening slowly and blinking once. Hm. She was still here. Alive, anyway. Looking over at Ma'ait, she studied the sleeping dragoness until she saw a mouse nosing around. Without second though, she snatched the poor creature up and squeezed. Crack. Looking down at it, she had half a mind to just eat the thing whole. She had done so with much worse, but given the current circumstances she probably had a higher chance of illness due to her lower levels of pretty much... everything at that moment really. Huffing, she just let the mouse flop to the floor, snuggling back into the blankets.

(So are we operating in two separate worlds or? Cause I took it that we were a ways back on time, yet there's a robot dragon.)

(I see, so basically it's one of those worlds where we started with rocks, progressed to tech and then kinda regressed a bit, but not back to rocks?)

Larkes grunted a couple times. "That earthquake brought you back...?" He said incredulously. "Anyway, why are you talking to me? Of all people, why me?" he asked, getting a bit defensive.
It took a while before Drake woke up, then Shard did soon after. Drake got up and stretched his muscles, moaning a little bit. "Ugh I will never get used to that." he mumbled as he looked over at the other pair. Seeing Mysha awake, Drake waved to her happily. "Morning Mysha."

And upon closer inspection, you seem... good." He had no closer words.

He blinked a couple times, a bit confused. "And what if I turned out not to be good? Suppose I tried to attack you or something." he said, growing more curious with every moment.

"You would be dead, I guess." He said, closing his eyes and laying down his head. "You may go back to petting whenever you wish. Or perhaps tell me about the world I've awoken to. Or both."

Mysha looked genuinely focused as she silently debated whether to eat the mouse or not, able to see her mental gears turning as she thought. She was drawn from her thoughts when Drake greeted her, and she only hummed in acknowledgement, murmuring what sounded like "morning." At least it was something. She seemed more concerned with the mouse though, fingers reaching out and grasping it again. Before she could do anything though, a growl from Ma'ait caused her to groan in annoyance, knowing that she was likely scolding her. Hey, she hadn't gotten sick yet, as her people seemed to have iron stomachs. But then Ma'ait held her paw out, demanding the mouse. "Really?" Mysha questioned, glaring up at her.

Larkes grunted softly and sat down, preferring to just talk for now. “A-Alright. I’ll tell you about this time.” He replied as he got comfortable and started talking. He started with the continent breaking into different kingdoms, the widespread fear and loathing of dragons, and the utter lack of the technology that clearly existed during Aldnoa’s time.
Drake and Shard watched as the two women seemed to bicker a bit then the dragoness demanded a small rodent from her. “Everything okay?” Drake asked as he watched the two.

Aldnoa was quiet the entire time, only asking a question when he felt it absolutely necessary, as if he had missed a key point. But that happened few times, and so he listened. "Its been so long..." Now he smiled, despite the bleakness of his new life, and asked, "What is your name?"

Mysha sighed as she handed over the mouse. Hearing Drake talk, she shrugged. "Ma'ait just wants me to be healthy, I suppose." But she was really beginning to get hungry. "There a stream around here? Or a lake?" Water meant fish. She looked over at Drake curiously.

Larkes smiled a little and answered his questions every time. Upon his question about his own name, Larkes looked down a bit. “It’s Larkes.” He replied. “What about you?”
Shard was already nodding at the mention of a stream or lake and Drake complemented the Dragon’s thoughts. “Yes, there’s a small lake nearby. Not much food but some.” He replied. “I have some fruits for anyone who wants it, but Shard here is a carnivore.”’He said, pulling out a couple apples.

Mysha frowned slightly, wrinkling her nose. She hadn't had fruit since she was a baby, of course the plants being mushed up. But who knew, maybe she'd like it. Next time. Smiling slightly, she said "I haven't had fruit since before I could walk, but maybe today will be the day that streak is broken." Fish first though, hopefully. Tapping Ma'ait, the dragoness started moving, her ember organs switching back into flesh. "You can join us if you wish, though I think the dragons will go hunt for bigger prey."

"I'll come along, but you're right, Shard will most definitely want his own prey." Drake said amusedly, to which Shard nodded enthusiastically. "Let's show you where the place is." Drake said, hopping aboard his dragon, who got up to his paws soon after.

Ma'ait helped Mysha up onto her back so they could follow Drake and Shard. Following them out of the cave, the two looked around again, able to see a little more in the daylight. Usually, Mysha would look for a good tree to start on a weapon, but food was priority, and her stomach practically roared in hunger.

The two males walked out of the cave in front of the two females, then started walking in a direction towards the watering spot. "It'll be a five minute walk with the dragons." Drake said, looking back at the other two.

Mysha sighed. "I should be walking." It would probably be a few days before she could even stand up for more than a few seconds. Ma'ait warbled softly, glancing back at her as well in attempt at comfort, but for the moment Mysha looked genuinely dull.

They kept walking on in silence, Drake knowing that if he said anything it would just make things worse. After they crested a small rise, the small lake appeared, and Shard padded up to it before Drake hopped off. "Over here!" Drake called.
