The dragon acknowledged her by it's actions only, protecting it's rider as it proceeded to take down the enemy dragons.

Mintra dug in her knees, even as she swung the saber when it seemed necessary. What was Eden doing? What would mark the end of this? As blood splashed across her face, she doubted that bloodshed would be the indicator.

As the dragons seemed to come to a stand still, what seemed like an eternity later, it was minutely obvious why the dragons headed this man as he now stood, face to face with one of the opposing dragons, or the remains of it, anyway.

Now shirtless, blood spattered, and his face holding a few new scratches, Eden looked all the more the marred warrior as he wiped a bit of sweat and dirt from his brow. Eyes running over the remaining opposing dragons, and the few of the riders that remained, he watched them slowly tuck tail as he remained on his feet and watching until all of them were gone.


It hadn't been a light battle on either side, several of the large, magnificent creatures had fallen in the scuttle. It was a shame to see even one down, and he treated all with honor as he murmured soft prayers before each was lifted off by other dragons to be properly buried.

Sighing, he stood as the dragon carrying Mintra landed beside him, his eyes running over the small child.

" Are you alright?"

He asked, seeming suddenly a much older man as he sighed and went to clean his blade before sheathing it.

Mintra had been perfectly silent, not saying anything as she watched the funeral proceedings. However, when addressed, she finally moved. The girl absently patted the purple hide as she lifted her leg over and slid down to the ground. She held the saber close to her chest as she reached up and wiped her brow, foreign blood smearing. One benefit of being small: you are harder to hit. That was how she managed to stand in front of him with only a small cut across her right thigh.

"Nothing critical... How about you?" She walked up to him, staring at his face. This was a hard read.

" Nothing compared to the suffering of my dragons. I'm in favor of war, but not upon the creatures. They did nothing to harm anyone without outside influence. They are harmless beings in the mix."

Welcome to one more side of Eden. Compassion. It really did exist in him, his dragons were his life and pride, not to mention all but his wife in some ways. They were who he answered to, and who he cared for, who was there when he was down, and vice versa.

Mintra inclined her head slightly, cleaning off the blade before holding the grip out for him to take.

"I'm sorry for your loss."

" I will recover."

He replied simply, sheathing the blade as easily as the last, sighing under his breath.

Mintra didn't say anything for a long moment. Then she ducked down, her doll face peering up at him through her dark lashes.

"Eden, why do you do it? If it causes you pain?"

Eden looked at her a moment, considering his answer.

" why does one love their children? Why does one love their spouse? It doesn't make rational sense to love at all, but unfortunately, I do care for these creatures, therefore, it's what i do."

Mintra looked at him for a long moment with those big eyes of hers, the irises taking in the details in earnest. The she smiled and then leaned up on her tiptoes, kissing him on the... well, she was aiming for the cheek, but he was a little too tall, so she kissed him on the neck. The girl then proceeded to pat him on the shoulder.

"I have decided that you are a good man, Eden. No matter what you lead to, you are a good man."

Eden looked at the woman oddly, considering him a moment, sighing to himself. Every woman that kissed him had died. This wasn't a positive omen.

((roflmao...))

Mintra raised a brow in response to his odd look and sigh. That was not exactly what he had expected.

"What?"

Mintra smiled faintly. Her next comment was half jest, half correction.

"Luck has a hard time mastering me." After the comments previously about the bad luck with coming across the dragon...

" I hope, for your sake, your right."

Eden replied softly as he moved to grab a clean shirt from the saddle bag upon his dragon.
