I was carrying Raya on my back as she slept, my wings folded, creating a pillowy layer for the sleeping girl.
the night air greeting my skin casually as I walked, my lack of clothes bothering me alot less than I thought it would.
then again I was a creature who didn't wear clothes in their...real body...so maybe that's why it didn't feel so wrong.
I don't actually know any can't bring myself to care, I just find it funny how much it can effect Raya.
I laughed quietly to myself at the thought of messing with Raya and started casually looking around my surroundings, making sure no one heard me do that.
seeing the coast was clear I lowered my guard, losing myself in the monotony of taking step after step, my mind nearly numbing at the repeated action.
thankfully a large rumbling of the ground would both wake Raya and give me a chance to cure my boredom.

I dropped Raya on the spot, opening my wings and flapping into the night sky, not too high up but enough.
"good luck!"(syn) I called out to the still half asleep girl, she looked absolutely confused.
the rumbling would only intensify as I stayed in the air, watching the scene below unfold, a large creature the size of a four story building came casually strolling from the forest, trees breaking and splintering as it moved, large holes on the ground being left behind from its four legs.
at this point Raya had started to panic, the creature which somewhat resembled a bear but covered in thick rhino like skin and the size of a hotel, had begun to target her, locking its eyes and changing walking directions.
Raya stood and began fleeing the second it changed direction, gaining significant ground over the creature, but something unexpected would happen, something really unexpected.
the second Raya thought she was safe the bear vanished, appearing in a puff of smoke in the air just above Raya.
"IT CAN TELEPORT?!"(syn) I accidentally shouted in surprise.
it wasn't looking good for Raya, but it didn't have to, as a large energy sword came flying from the bushes, impaling and killing the creature, danger signals ringing in my head, I ignored the system notification and swooped down towards Raya, it later becoming a nose dive before I righted myself and landed, the ground sending dust exploding into the air as a crater formed and tree debris splattered all around.
Raya was directly behind me now as I faced the thing with glowing golden eyes, a teenage boy holding up both hands into the air as he stepped out, what people on earth do when a gun is in their face.
"who are you?"(syn) I asked calmly, we didn't know anything yet so aggravating the unknown wouldn't help, but it is something I do alot, it's a terrible habit.
"I'm James, I saw that the girl needed help."(James)
"she was fine."(syn)
"THE HELL I WAS!"(Raya)
I turned to Raya, speaking in a hushed and quiet voice.
"there was a quest, you and I could've gained a +1,000 to everything!"(syn)
her face paled as she began to realize that she truly could've won and maybe even gotten stronger, quests like that don't come about if there's no chance of you surviving.
"like I said she doesn't need help, I was training her."(syn) I lied, making that up on the spot, it was technically true though.
"with all due respect it didn't look like she could handle that."(James)
the teenager had gotten close now, close enough for me to grab their neck and snap it if I wanted to, were they not afraid of us?
"she can decide on her own if she could handle that or not, you didn't need to Interrupt."(syn)
Raya placed a hand on my shoulder, a signal to reign it in a bit.
"that is correct, I'm sorry."(James)

James pov....
the odd winged....person...looked to be very controlling, the girl behind him looking fearful, I have to help!
but when I tried to move closer the girl looked me in the eyes and shook her head no, placing her hand on the odd man's shoulder, his face calmed a bit and his body became more relaxed, this is strange....
"that is correct, I'm sorry."(James) I responded to his statement, for now I shouldn't escalate anything with him.
"if you don't mind me asking but how is it you two know each other?"(James) I probed.
the girl had a nervous look while the man just had a neutral face, only a second passing before he would try to answer, the girl answering before him, cutting him off.
"were married!"(girl)
the man's face was one of absolute shock, I could almost swear I saw a hint of horrified, but after a second he neutraled his face and agreed with the girl.
"yes, yes we are."(man) said through grit teeth.
as if to prove it the girl pulled the man into a deep and passionate kiss, making muffled moaning sounds as she ran her hands all over the man, he looked like he was just playing along and was over it, his body language was really telling.
she broke off the kiss and had a face of 'see?' going back to being directly behind the man.
"we'll I wouldn't want to intrude and all but epuld you mind if I tagged along? I'm pretty lost."(James) I lied, I knew exactly where I was and knew where to head but I must explore this situation further, someone could need my help here!
