Can You Stop It? [V x S] [1x1]

After a few minutes of work, a fire pit had been dug out and set up. "Igni" he muttered holding his hand forwards as a flame erupted from the pit giving them warmth and light in the area. "Nocturne" the prince called holding his hand up as around the area they were in a sudden shift of the shadows occurred. He had cast a glimmer over the area they were in to remove the light from being able to be seen from the outside. Reaching to his wrist, Kael took off one of the bracelet's he wore. He set lifted it up high above them as the jewel in the center turned dark. Putting the bracelet back on, for the night at least they wouldn't need to worry about the glimmer falling.

Sitting down finally, Kaelthas took a seat across the firepit from Aurum. He felt a bit absent minded at the moment. The trip he had expected to only take a few days from the kingdom to the boarder and back now was urging on the fifth night since he had left his home. He was sure that his illusion had been discovered and his father likely was enraged. The longer he sat infront of the fire, the harder he thought about it. Letting out an exasperated sigh, Kaelthas rubbed the side of his head letting his hair fall over his face. He needed to stop worrying about such things. He was close to the book now, and once he had it, that would be enough to deal with the consequences of his actions. His father would hopefully understand when he returned with his quarry.

Letting his eyes finally wander from the flames, Kaelthas looked thru them to Aurum who sat across him at the flames edge. She seemed worried, for reasons he could only feel were likely close to his own. A prince and and a princess long from home, becoming star crossed lovers. It sounded when he thought about it, more like one of the love stories his mother used to read to pass the time. In reality they were both long since past returning to their own homes. Each's parent likely growing more feverish by the day.

Sighing slightly, both of them seemed to have realized the state of things. Looking up at the now dark sky, Kael thought about how far they had come since they met. At the start he had only expected to go a town or two over in search of the book. Now they were farther into the country then he could have even imagined going. What he had thought would take him less then 4 days to get to the boarder and back with the book, was now far exceeding his intent. "Maybe we should call it quits" Kaelthas said suddenly to Aurum. With each of them falling into squalor of the thoughts they held. Maybe his quest for the book was a failed on.

"Right" Kaelthas responded as he lay there. Closing his eyes for a time he let the warmth of the fire cover him. He felt slightly defeated, a prince by force, stuck in a position he cared little for. Rolling to his side he opened his eyes as he stared ahead. The night like the day would likely be filed with a silence between them as reality of their situations came into light. "Lets just, get some sleep. I am sure it will be a long trip tomorrow" he said closing his eyes again to try to get some sleep. The fire would go out eventually but the glimmer atleast would remain until he dispelled it.

The sudden intrusion into his space prompted the prince to open his eyes. Aurum had decided, in her stubbornness, it seemed to not let him time to wallow in the failure he was feeling. Pulling Aurum closer as they laid there, he rested his chin upon her head as he held her close. Not all of his trip had been for naught. The thought to bring her back to his own kingdom crossed his mind for a moment but was quickly tossed out. Until the war was concluded, in his lands, them being together was a difficult thing to imagine. "Don't worry about it, I will have it eventually." Closing his eyes again, Kael's breathing slowed as his body was starting to demand sleep from him to compensate for the prior night and that morning.  

[Shiningdragon21]

Kaelthas's sleep had been nothing more then a blank slate. His dreams, or even nightmare's nonexistent on this night. He had woken before Aurum had stirred. Instead of moving tho he simply lay there. His arms around her the fire next to them had not yet gone out. His own warmth along with the fire blanketed the dragoness. He didn't want to leave yet but knew that the time was drawing near as the sunlight peaked over the horizon. Soon they would be on their way's back to their respective homes.

As Aurum got up, Kaelthas just watched her as she moved about. His eyes tracing over her form as she moved about in her tired state. When she spoke to him, Kaelthas slowly pushed himself up to a sitting position. Around them, the darkness was still activated as he reached down and touched his bracelet. Around them the shadow of darkness faded. "I would think your cave would be the better place to part" he said to her. Most of him didn't want to go, but he and she knew that they needed to.

Standing up slowly, like Aurum, Kaelthas was moving slow. Neither it seemed had gotten much sleep the night before. Taking Aurum's pack he threw it over his shoulder with his own. "Alright then" he said as he moved over to the dragon. Doing his best to climb up her to position himself on her back, Kaelthas after a moment or two got it. He didn't bothering using magic at that time. Instead he wanted to get more of a feel for Aurum's dragonic form that he had not before. "Ready to go when you are" Aurum said eventually as he situated himself.
