From Point A to Point B.

[Luna Heiler & Ayer]

Luna tried not to make a face as she said to curtis' father "nice to meet you too" in reply. She nodded "yah I live north of here, I live on Berk, that's where Curtis lives now. It's not where I'm originally from, but I'm well established there. I'm tue dragon healer there." She glanced at Curtis next to her before looking back up at his father, who towered over her. Curtis was Taller than her by a few inches, but his father was so much taller than her. "um, I've been to Red Rock once. Curtis brought me once before, but I haven't been in awhile. And it's a lot colder this time around." she laughed quietly "we haven't even gotten snow in berk yet, I'm suprised you've had snowfall here, from what I've heard from Curtis there isn't typically snow here to start with." she said. It was very cold in the cave. Luna rubbed her hands together to try and warm up a bit. Despite these warm clothes she was still rather chilly. Luna looked from father to son. Curtis' looks favored his mother. Though he did have his father's dark brunette hair, and he might prove to have his height, his features were more like his mother than his father. Luna waited for something to happen or something to be said. She was still nervous, she always was around new people. She had even been nervous around Curtis at one point, but that time seemed far in the distance to where they were now.

[fric2626]

Curtis' dad shook his head slightly, "No, The last time this region was suposedly to have snow like this way back before we made friends with the dragons. So roughly about Four Hundred years ago, It wasn't the easiest time for our people when they started to get snow like this and no dragons to help them out." Curtis looked over at his Dad and nodded in agreement to Luna, "Yea, Apperently there was this one dragon that caused all this snow back then that we had no idea about. We think it stayed on the mountian tops all these years but why would it act up like this if were not attacking Dragon's again? I mean not like were doing anything wrong here." Curtis looked around the cave, He saw Reaper go over to a large pit filled with wood that was native around these regions, It was very comman but when you burn it with Dragon fire it dosn't give off any smoke so it works out if your in a place were there's only one or two says out. Reaper blasted fire at pit and it caught fire, The Cave started to warm up pretty quickly. This wood also didn't burn out very quickly due to how thick the trunks up can be, It takes forever just to cut the tree to use it. Curtis looked at Luna, "So, Anything new around here?" Curtis turned his gaze towards his Dad as he spoke. He Father thought for a moment, "Trade with Farther Empire's by Ship." He thought for a moment, "Oh, And your Cousion Adkyn went north." Curtis raised an Eyebrow, "Where North?" His Dad Shrugged, "Not sure."

[Luna Heiler & Ayer]

Luna listned and nodded as curtis and his father spoke. she didn't know how to add to the conversation, so she just quietly watched and heard what they said. His father seemed amiable, so Luna tried to seem happier , bit it was kind of difficult with this small burden on her heart now. Her spirits had sunk low and she had to fake the interested smile on her freckled face. She glanced over at Curtis, who seemed fine. She tried to portray the same additude. She would bring this up later. This wasn't a good time or place. She pulled the long skirt up, it had started sliding down her waist because it was kind of big on her. She didn't have a belt or anything to hold it up with, so she just had to be constantly readjusting it.

Luan listened to what the two of the men said. It wad interesting that they hadn't had snowfall in 400 years. And even more intriguing that such a thing had been caused by a dragon. She wondered what kind of a creature could cause such a violent change in weather patterns. When the dragon set flame to the wood, it swiftly warm the cool, damp space. That was good because Luna knew that all these eggs would die if thy didn't get warmth soon- but this would do just the trick. The eggs should be fine now. Luna looked back at Curtis and his father and rubbed her hands together to get the warmth to speed to her cold little fingers.

[fric2626]

Curtis' dad looked at the two of them for a moment, "Mind If you two help out abit?" Curtis shrugged, It didn't seem like alot of trouble to help out. Plus this was the kinda thing Luna usally dose so she would know what to do. "Take this." His Dad gave him a lit torch, "There's a deeper section of the Cave maze, Go down there and take care of the Eggs, There's a large fire pit down there that will need to be lit." Curtis nodded and looked at Luna, "Alright lets go Luna." Curtis turned around and started towards what looked like Sturdy Wooden stairs that had been put there. He walked down them andthen continued, It was colder down here. Probably due to the fact the fire hadn't been lit yet and that it was further down. Heat only gose up, Not down so this part of the cave wouldn't be able to get the same heat that the upper section would of gotten. There was Two to three younger people down here taking care of some eggs, They had to of been about Eighteen and nineteen years of age each.

Curtis came to a large pit and saw it piled with wood, He held the torch out and waited until it lit up. When it did he brought the torch back and held it up looking around. The Egg's in this area had yet to be taken care of, Curtis looked at Luna. "So, What do you think about my Dad." He walked over and put the torch into a small holder on the wall, He then continued to walk towards a group of eggs and checked them. Curtis looked around and saw a small stone room filled with Straw, He walked over to the pile and took a load with his arms walking back to the eggs. He placed that Straw down and then put the eggs on them to help them keep abit of Warmth, Curtis Allowed Luna to speak or do what she wanted to.

[Luna Heiler & Ayer]

Luna walked down the stairs and into the deeper parts of the very large cave. She followed him into another cold, poorly lit room like space in the rock. She looked around. There were a few other people, they were all a couple years older than them. They were doing the same thing she had seen all the other people down here doing- caring for dragon eggs. Curtis Led them to a pile of wood an he ignited the lumber with the flame from the torch, illuminating the space. He asked her what she had thought of his father before walking away briefly and returning with some hay for the eggs to set in. Luna answered "he seems nice. I was scared to start with" she addmitted " but maybe we'll get to know each other better." then Luna paused. She took a deep breath an d sighed and bit her lip. She wanted an answer. They needed to talk about it. She started "it hurts me though, Curtis" she looked up at him. "he didn't know who I was. He had never heard my name. He didn't know anything about me. She closed her eyes for a moment before openinG them again and beginning once more. "Curtis- you were here for a week with him and you didn't breath my name. Maybe you did. But if you did, you obviously didn't say anything memorable, much less that we're together. she closed her eyes and turned away. She tilted her face down as a pair of tears leaked from her eyes and rolled over the freckes on her face. "I just thought that with the time you spend here unless im some kind of secret, that you would have at least told your parents a little about me..." her voice cracked and trailed off and she wiped a few tears off her face and bit her lip to keep from making much noise.

[fric2626]

Curtis looked at Luna and sighed abit. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her gently, "Im sorry Luna.. I Just havn't found the right time to tell them." He looked at her face and wiped away the tears that were on her face, He didn't notice that he hurt Luna by not telling his parents about her. Curtis squeezed Luna for a second then released the grip, "Well, I guess I can't really say the same thing to you." Curtis gave a slight smile. Curtis lightly kissed Luna cheek and then looked into her eyes again, "Ill tell them soon alright?" Curtis raised his eyebrow at Luna for a moment before hearing a voice, It was his Dad. "Intersting." That's all his dad said, Curtis looked around at him, "Or that's a way of telling them?" Curtis looked back at Luna for a second. He didn't even reilise that his Dad had come down here. He didn't look angry or anything, Just interstead. Mabye he thought that Curtis was with Luna? Who know's. "How long have you been standing there?" Curtis looked at his dad again, His Dad laughed abit and walked toward them, "Not too long."

[Luna Heiler & Ayer]

Luna was About to say something in reply to Curtis when she heard a voice behind them grunt 'intersting'. She couldn't turn around because curtis' arms were still around her, but she twisted her head to see who it was. And there she saw standing Curtis father, who seemed to be scrutinizing the situation he was witnessing between his son and her. She awkwardly looked back at Curtis. A slight smile twitched at the egde of her pink lips at his comment. Well, so much for telling him, now he had seen it. She hoped he wouldn't be upset with them. Curtis seemed a little disoriented from the awkward situation too. He hadn't moved since his father had said anything. Luna looked back Amd forth from the two, waiting for something to happen or be said.

[fric2626]

Curtis' Dad didn't show any kind of anger or frustration so that means he was ok with this and Curtis could tell just by the way he stood there. Curtis looked back at Luna for a moment then back at His Dad, "Dose your Mom know?" Curtis shook his head abit, He was expecting his Mom to have knowen first before his Dad but you never now what with happen though. Curtis patted Luna's back abit before letting her go and smiling. Curtis' Dad was about to say somthing when a large Bang was heard from the top of the cave, Curtis' eyes widdend "Uh.. What was that?" His Dad looked towards the stairs, "Let's go check." Curtis nodded "Come on." He looked over at Luna making a gesture to go towards the stairs, Curtis followed his Dad upstairs.

When they were at the Top they looked around, One of the helpers that were there came over to them. "There's a small group from the south that came here, Their hitting the Cave entrance." Curtis looked at his Dad, "Somthing You caused before?" His Dad looked at him for a moment, "... No." He had to think about that. The helper started to talk again, "We can handle this you three get out of here." Curtis nodded, Slity walked over to him along with Reaper. Curtis waited for Luna to come over and when she did He helped her up. He got onto Slity's back afterwards and looked at Reaper. "Ready?" He looked back at Luna for a moment and then nodded at his Dad. Curtis had Slity go towards the entrance. He basically ran at it. When Slity got just outside he took off into the White snow again, Curtis saw a couple of people below. "Why would like ten people attack at Cave?" Curtis shrugged, The Helpers were able to handle that no problem. They flew back towards Curtis' home, "So Luna. How much longer do you want to stay here?" They had just landed when Curtis asked her.

[Luna Heiler & Ayer]

Luna Didn't know curtis' father very well at all, so should couldn't tell what he thought of her and Curtis. She was eager to know, she hoped he was okay with it, she didn't want Curtis getting in any kind of trouble because of her. Bit at the same time, it didn't really matter to her what he thought, nothing couldn't stop her from loving Curtis, her only concern was that it might discourage Curtis in their relationship, and she cretaintly did NOT want that. She felt his hand behind her as he lightly patted her back before letting go of her. She smiled back to him when he smiled at her. She turned around to face curtis' father and saw him open his mouth but before he could speak there was a bang that echoed through the cavern. Father and son exchanged a few brief words before some one ran up to them and in a rushed voice reported what had happened. Attacking?! Luna looked back at Curtis with an alarmed expression. The next few minutes were a blur as they quickly make their way out and away from the cave that housed the eggs. Rather than the gentle help up she got from curtis when mounting slity was more of Curtis very quickly lifting her And dropping her on the dragon's back before he jumped on. The second the two were mounted slity took off sprinting to the mouth of the cave at top speed. Luna had to hold on to Curtis tightly to stay on. And them slity jumped and began to fly quickly as the wind caught under his wings. She saw curtis' father flying on reaper above them up in the air.

They rushed back to the house. When they had landed, Curtis asked her how much longer she wanted to stay. "as long as you want Curtis, I'm happy to stay as long as your here with me." she said with a smile and a small squeeze to his hand. Curtis' father put reaper in the stable before going in the house, giving Luna an him a second alone. Luna watches as he closed the door. She turned to Curtis "what does he think? Is he upset?" she asked looking at him and waiting for an answer. The sun would go down soon. It was almost sunset in Red Rock.

[fric2626]

Curtis shook his head, "Ah No." Curtis smiled looking at Luna, "You would be able to tell if he was upset, He would of chased you off by now." Curtis laughed abit looking around, "Let's get inside and warm up." Curtis smiled leading Luna into the home, Slity walked towards the stable and got into it wrapping himself around Silvia so she didn't get very cold. They opened the door and Curtis looked around the nice warm, welcoming home that they had now stood in. Curtis walked towards the window at the front of the home and looked out at the large town, Curtis smiled looking at Luna "Ill be sure to bring you into town either today or tommorow. The people there are very nice." Curtis pushed off from leaning against the window and looked around. He enjoyed being back at home, "Come on." Curtis walked towards the stairs and headed up towards his room, Curtis walked into his room. Maps of the islands were on his desk, A couple of maps of the surrounding area's of Red Rock were on a small chest, And a large map of Europe on the wall. ((There were maps of Europe back then so Nah xD)). Curtis shut the door behind Luna once she was in. "Anything you want to talk about or do?"

[Luna Heiler & Ayer]

Luna followed Curtis to his room. She had only been in here once or twice before and only for a few minutes. Luna took a quick glance around. It was still alot the same, lots of papers and maps lying around. She took a step in and heard Curtis shut the door behind her. The room was pretty quiet. The walked over to the desk and picked up a pile of papers. They were doodles and drawings of a bunch of different things. She flipped though them, smiling. He was inventive. There were some drawings of things it seemed her perhaps hoped to make someday, drawings of slity, maps, notes Amd writing. It was pretty disheveled and unorganized. She set them down after she had finished looking at them. It was really warm in the house. The many fireplaces provided for that. Luna got really warm in the long skirt. She slipped it off so she was in her normal skirts now, but she left the sweater on, it was still a tad chilly in the house. She walked over and placed the skirt on his bed. She noticed a big map on the wall. Curiously she walked over to it. It was really really interesting. "wow. The whole continent." she said, carefully looking it over, enjoying the tiny details.

After she was finished looking at the map, she realized she had never answered the question he had asked her. She walked over to Curtis and stopped in front of him. she put her arms around his neck and placed her palm on the back of his head. Luna gave a little smile and asked "well, does this count?". She gently pushed his head down with her palm to kiss him. Their lips touched and the two stayed there for several seconds, maybe even a minute, tenderly kissing one another.

[fric2626]

Curtis felt Luna kiss him, He didn't want to pull away. He never did want to when they kissed. He really enjoyed this, He kissed her back gently and they did stay there for almost a Minute. Curtis' mom walked around the house for a moment before going to walk up the stairs, Not a sound those wooden lifters to the sky made, They never did unless somthing hit it hard. It was almost as if everything in the house didn't want to make a sound, Not one deathly sound for that the punishment that might be brought down on that thing was petrified in it's state to make a sound for somthing like the worst thing that came to it's first thought could happen. His mom walked over to Curtis' door and listend abit, She heard nothing and then opened it abit and looked in. She saw Curtis and Luna kissing there, Her eyes widdend abit and moved back shutting the door quietly, She laughed abit to herself walking down the stairs and then had a little freak out around the kitchen, She then quiet herself down. Curtis didn't hear anything thing so he didn't know.

[Luna Heiler & Ayer]

Luna savored the Sweet osculation they shared, patiently kissing back as she felt him do the same. Eyes closed, she tilted her head slightly to one side to kiss him deeper. Enjoying every second of it profusely. It was times like this that later made Luna think back to their very first kiss, that cautious little peck on the cheek Curtis had given her so long ago. She still treasured that. Luna felt safe here, wrapped up in Curtis. Each of them was completely focused on the other in the quiet moment. Luna could here the little noises Curtis proabably didn't know he made in the back of his throat when he kissed her. She loved those sounds.  The moment could have lasted forever and neither of them would have known or cared.  But eventually it ended, Luna wasn't sure when or which one of them did it but the kiss drew to a close and their lips parted at long last.  But the pair did not leave each other. Luna set her forehead on his and looked into his eyes. His deep blue eyes had always drawn her in. There was so much expression and emotion in feeling Luna found in them. She tell his mood by looking into them and right now she could tell he was very very happy, as was she. They just stared into each others eyes for awhile. Luna murmured softly to Curtis "I love you" and brought a hand over to his and slipped her smaller hand into his larger one. She took her forehead off his so he could stand up straight. He did, but he kept his eyes on her. Luna put her arms around him. She had kind of a strange question she wanted to ask him. It was just something she was curious about. "Curtis, am I your first love? Or was there someone else before me?" she asked. She was not concerned or worried, she just wanted to ask him this question. She looked him in the eyes as she waited for an answer.

[fric2626]

Curtis looked into Luna's Metalic, Silver eyes. He smiled at her and whispered back to her quietly, "I love you too." Curtis listened around to the silence of the home, The only thing he could really hear from his room was the snow hitting the window, The small patting noise that was constant and peaceful. Curtis looked around for a moment before bringing his gaze back to Luna when she asked the question. Curtis shook his head abit "Only once, Lasted like two weeks though, We both figured that we wern't right for eachother." Curtis raised an eyebrow abit, "How about yourself?" Curtis wondered why Luna asked that, She was probably curious about itand he didn't mind telling her. Curtis rubbed her back lightly while while he waited for her to reply to his question.

[Luna Heiler & Ayer]

Luna smiled a little "no...ive never been loved before you, Curtis. And I've never loved anyone else." she said in reply. It was interesting to know that he had loved before, honestly she didn't blame whoever else who had had the pleasure of his heart for a couple weeks. He was just so wonderful. But she was profoundly glad he was hers now. She thought. If Curtis had never found slity, if he had never tried to kill his father And in turn his father attempt the same, if Curtis had never run away, if he had never travelled far enough or too far for that matter, if if they had never been out on the same starry night, if snip Amd snatcher hadn't insisted she follow, if luna had run away from that sword, if she hadn't sat down...would they ever had met? Was it chance or fate itself that had brought them together? She looked at him and just wondered these things. She stared into his blue eyes and contemplated the secrets that might be hiding behind them. She smiled slightly as she said "has anyone ever told you how beautiful your eyes are?" she took one of her hands from where it set behind his back and lifted it to his face and lightly took a strand for hair that was hanging in front of one of his eyes and tucked it behind his ear before returning her hand to it's previous position. She liked the way she pressed up against him when he embraced her, it was Deeply comforting to her. She felt him lightly Stroke her back with his hands; it felt good. By now, the sun was almost out of the sky, slipping below the horizon to rise up the next morning. She had another question for him. This on was kind of a weird thing to ask him, but she had always wanted to know what he thought "Curtis- am I...am I too...am I scrawny?" she looked down at herself. He small frame had always brought her shame on hysteria where the people liked to live up to their name, the bulky beefs. And the constant ridicule had earned her the horrible nickname of 'scrawny bitch' which she hated. But she desperately wanted to know if it was true and she had never had the courage to confide in this question with anyone before. She didn't know why, maybe it was just because it was so personal. "after you answer, do you have any questions to ask me?" she asked quickly before he answered her question.
