Ballo had clung to him her eyes closed. And as they landed her crip loosened and she climbed off. She looked around. Im still confused as to why we are here... She let her voice trail off as she looked at the beauty around her. She smiled softly and then looked to the dragon she had riden. A dragon! Shaking her head she gently kissed the dragon's scally neck before stepping out of the way. She was looking around like a child in wonderland.

He laughed lightly. "Of course I won't do tricks. It might attract attention that we do not need....." He lapsed into silence, and for two hours he flew on, high enough to seem like a large bird, but not so high that Ballo would get cold. Finally, the gleaming pillars of the Crystal Palace became visible, lit by the moon's light. He circled it twice before landing in a large courtyard, kneeling down as low as he could so that way Ballo could get off.

Ballo kept her eyes closed her nails digging into the saddle Her mind screaming as they lifted into the air. Nooo just get there! god its scary without the earth under your feet Her mind sent back as she clung to the saddle for dear life. Don't do any tricks either!She was scared that much was clear.

The dragon snorted, laughing within her mind. "It is still me, Ballo..... I am just mearly using part of the dragon's powers to transform myself...." Jumping into the air, and with three powerful thrusts of his wings, the dragon easily got higher and higher. "Is there somewhere you would like to go? Before we go back to the Crystal Palace?"

The woman had watched intreguired. Then as the dragon was there the horse wanted to run. The dragon was massive. But she looked at the dragon her head tilted. "I'm scared of heights... Im going to keep my eyes closed ok?" She sais softly as she moved up to the dragon. Touching it's side softly before climbing into the saddle carefully. She slipped her feet into the rings and grasped the saddle before closing her eyes. "Ok dragon...Im ready."

Cylrien slowly backed away from Ballo, his eyes never leaving hers as he stopped in the middle of the clearing. He let out a calming breath, his eyes closing at the same time. "Ready..... Carmaine?" The dragon's reply was instant. "Of course." At first, the air around Cylrien shimmered, then it burst into a full-out flame, easily seeming to consume Cylrien and a good amount of the air around him. The fire turned blue, then burned for thirty seconds before slowly disappearing, revealing a dragon. The dragon reached over and grabbed the saddle carefully between its teeth before settling the thing right in front of it's wings. The straps and things easily slid into place. The dragon shook, testing to see if the saddle was secure, before looking at Ballo. "Ballo......"

Caballo followed him. Her head tilted as she watched him she looked at the odd saddle her head tilted. What was happening. As she watched Cylrien she tilted her head. "I promise i wont. I have a debt to you." She spoke softly. She was so confused with the whole world. She wanted to run. That came from the horse instincts. WEll most horses would run. ANd at the moment that was what Ballo wanted to do. She watched him her deep chocolate doe eyes watched him.

"No..... we have to play it safe." He started to pull her along gently. They walked for hours after entering the forests, taking paths that only Cylrien knew about. He stepped into the edge of a clearing, and a young page rushed over. "I got it from Itil...." He said, pointing to what looked like a dragon's 'saddle'. Cylrien smiled and pressed a gold coin into the boy's hand, a single eyebrow raised. The page nodded, smiling broadly. "I never saw you two leave." Giving Ballo a bow, he boy hurried off. Once Cylrien was sure the boy was safely away, he turned to face Ballo. "You won't run.... You'll stay here, right?"

Ballo blinked confused then nodded her head. "Would you like me to shift? You wont get anywhere faster." She spoke softly as she calmly placed her hand in his. What was going on. Why was she going with him. What was happening. They had won hadn't they? She looked up at him. Soft startled doe eyes staring up at him she would trust him. Because he trusted her.

A soft knock came at the door, and Kair rushed to open it. Cylrien stood there dressed in loose riding clothes. He paused in the doorway, looking Ballo over before looking at his sister, an eyebrow raised. Kair smiled before brushing past her brother. With obvious hesitation, Cylrien held his hand out to her, unwilling to go any farther into the room, feeling slightly uncomfortable. "We need to hurry. Before anyone sees us leave...."

She stared at the dress then smiled softly. "The lady you dreamt of must have been beautiful " She smiled softly before carefully taking hold of the dress she pulled it on. It fit her form perfectly. And she pulled her long silver hair out from the dress and it set everything on the dress perfectly. The dress made her look like one of those 'angels' that everyone wished they had. Even though she was a demon

Kair shook her head and walked over to the box. "No.... Nothing wrong.... It's probably all in my imagination...." She opened the box and, still shielding the contents from her, handed her the underdress. "Put this on first...." After handed her this, she swung the dress itself out so Ballo could see it. A smile came to her face. "I made this a few years ago..... I had a dream about someone that would come here, but.... She never did. I'm sure you can fit it."
