Acorn held on to his hand. It couldn't be understated, the comfort that it gave her, as he squeezed her hand tightly as well. This was exactly the right way to keep her safe.
The town looked old, and only just recently had begun to flourish. Some buildings were ancient, some looked like they had been built yesterday. In the center was a much larger building than all the others, what she assumed to be the town hall. Acorn hurried herself so she walked beside Draco.

Draco kept walking calmly and proudly, looking as if he'd been in the town a hundred times before. Of course, he hadn't, but he learned how to act like he had been in a place before from being on the road for so long and traveling. As they walked, Draco slowly let go of Acorn's hand and instead wrapped his arm around her back and held her waist close to him, smiling down at her. "Is there anything you want to see first?" he asked.

Her face was beat red, but she had begun to become less embarrassed of such things. Though, being in front of so many other people didnt help! "I dont know. Maybe we should find our room first?" She smiled shyly, glancing around at the new world around her.

Drago smiled at her awkwardness, finding it adorable. "Maybe, but I think for now we should just explore. I usually wait until nightfall to actually find a room to stay in, since I occasionally get run out of town before nightfall." he said with an awkward smile. "So for now, let's just keep walking and look around." He said as he kissed her head lightly.

"Oh, okay." She said with a blush, and a soft smile. "Perhaps then we can see what's going on over there?" Again she was hesitant, but this time it was because a large crowd was gathered. They appeared to be cheering over a fight of some kind, as sounds of metal clashing erupted back and forth.

Draco looked over to where the sounds were coming from and he shrugged. "Sure, I guess. I mean, can't hurt right?" He said with a smile, though on the inside he was truly nervous. If they're fighting a chained-up dragon... I'll kill them... He thought as he started to walk over.

As they pushed through the crowd, the scene became apparent. A downed dragon, a little green thing with large wings, was clearly injured and in chains. Someone had come to his protection- a young elf boy in a blue-green tunic, the shine of chainmail below it. In his right hand was a ornate kite shield, and in his left, what looked like a sword of royalty. He was defending himself from two marauders seeking to harm the beast.

As soon as he saw what was going on, Draco's eyes hardened and nearly appeared to glow with rage. He immediately stepped back, took a moment to think and look around, then came up with an idea. "Come with me." he whispered to Acorn, grabbing a couple empty buckets some onlookers had left unattended.

Acorn nodded, equal parts incensed and terrified. She grabbed a bucket and waited for his call.
The boy grit his teeth and grunted as a club smacked against his shield. But he was skilled, as he parried expertly and sent the attacker staggering backwards. He could've attacked then, but the other foe moved in, keeping the boy on the defensive.

Draco had to act fast, and he knew this fact as well. He quickly located a well and ran towards it. "We need to fill these with water then get onto the top of one of the buildings that hang overtop off the attackers." he said, dipping his buckets into the waters and filling the buckets. He then started looking for a ladder or something he could use to get on top of the building.

Of course there was one right nearby. Acorn got hers and jumped into action, following right behind. It was quite heavy, for her.
Another good parry, and this time the bow can follow with a kick, knocking the one away just as the other recovered and attacked.

Draco led the way to the building after moving the ladder and he started climbing up, currently on the blind side of the building from everyone else. “Do you need help getting up?” He asked as he stepped up the first couple rings and then looked back at her.

She shook her head, eager to hurry. That boy had been there a while, for sure, and he may be weakening. To wait any longer was to gamble his safety.

Draco nodded and got up the ladder and slowly and silently made his way across the roof until he was peering down over at the fight. “Acorn, come here and get ready.” He said to her, getting the two buckets he had ready on the ledge.

She snuck over, almost like a ghost. Here, in the soreness of the town, something felt right. It clicked.
Acorn came up beside, watching the fight. Now both were up, and the boy was using both sword and shield to parry and block attacks.

“Give me ten seconds to get something prepared, starting when I close my eyes. Then dump the water on the two guys.” He instructed. After he took a deep breath he sloshed his hand into the water and brought it out, having a small pool of water in his hand. He then closed his eyes and began lip-syncing something, and the pool of water froze in his hand and starting forming into something as he mouthed a spell.

Acorn nodded, hesitant of this plan. The boy was on his last leg, having to fight to attackers at once. And if he fell, the dragon would be done for too.

As the ten seconds ticked down, the ice continued to form into a small spear-like shape. When the time was up he snapped his eyes open, nodding to Acorn to dump the water, coming up to the edge and waiting for the water to be dropped.

She yelped and splashed it down, giving a satisfied purr of glee as it hit the two men straight on. They both stopped their onslaught and looked up, glaring with an intensity that nearly made her jump.

Once the water came crashing down, Draco gently moved Acorn back so she wouldn't be identified as easily. He then brought the icicle-like spear up and he then shot it down, hitting the one man. The icicle then froze the water it hit, and that cascaded to freeze the entire water-covered attacker, then spread to the other one very quickly.

Night!)) Ocean nodded, still a bit unsure. He then turned back to Ananda. “A-Anyway, back to your bow. It turns out it’s in the South museum, at the other end of the city. We might be able to get it, if we can form a plan.” He said, pulling out some documents. Orocan listenedvyo her statements and he huffed, unconvinced that she truly meant them. “I mean, if that’s the way you feel, Onyx..” he said awkwardly. He shifted a bit like he was about to get up. “Is there anything you want to do so we can get to know each other better? Because I know I love you, and I want you to love me too...” he said softly. "Im all ears," Amanda said instantly looking back at Ocean. |

The instant the first became frozen, the second immediately shrugged off his jacket, and the jacket froze instead, only freezing his hand. That as enough though, as it gave a chance for the young fighter to jump in and smack his pommel against the head of him, knocking him out.
The rest of the townspeople quickly dispersed, scared for their lives of being frozen. The boy turned and looked up to the house, to his saviors.

Ocean smiled and pulled out some documents, some with pictures and others with maps. "Is this the right bow?" He asked, holding out a picture of the weapon she had described before.
Draco was smiling from the top of the building, positioned so only he could see, and he waved briefly. He then pointed to the outside of the city, meaning for him to run out of the city as fast as he could, before vanishing back to the confines of the roof. "Alright, that was a success. Now we need to get down off here before they come up here looking for us..." He said.

Acorn breathed a heavy sigh and nodded. Holding on to his hand, she navigated down the roof and to the ladder, and from there made it back to safe ground.
The boy and the dragon were long gone. Only the two frozen men were left in town square.

Draco followed her down and smiled. “We should probably make ourselves scarce from here before someone comes along.” He said, gently pulling her with him as he walked down a back alley.

She nodded, following with absolute silence, on her tip toes for every step. She only had one worry, and it was their safety. |

((Miss please be a bit more descriptive. It’s very hard to create a good reply with so little))
Draco kept moving with her, getting away from the scene of the fight as quickly and discreetly as possible. He’d rather not have to leave, especially after just getting there.

He’d rather not have to leave, especially after just getting there. (I know! I'm so sorry! I'm super busy rn. If youd like I can simply wait til I have more time.) "Draco... maybe we can sneak back in once everything calms down?" Acorn put out, almost losing her footing. He was moving a bit faster now. Oka let out a soft warning growl to Asla as she heard a noise. Something was approaching. |
