Loliry

The willsberry vine was easy to spot fron the top of mountains where they grew. Areneya volunteered to get them since she felt guilty. Kiro learned rather quickly the psycho sister wasn't as psycho as he'd thought. She'd just been really hurt. He could honestly understand.

Kiro bent down to pick some herbs and felt something land on his back causing him to hit the ground.

"You left us!" Toma screamed in Kiro's ear.

"When did you get here?" Kiro asked picking himself up.

"I grew wings and followed the dragon. I thought we'd lost you!" Toma's eyes weld up with tears.

"I'm sorry, Toma. I should've told you guys. It was just so-" the ground shook interrupting Kiro's explanation. Areneya was holding a bunch of willsberries and her dragon form glimmered in the sunlight.

"Another one?!" Toma shouted jumping in front of Kiro and bearing his fangs. Areneya growled low causing Toma to yelp and jump behind Kiro.

"My hero." Kiro laughed and ruffled Toma's fur. "Severesti, would you mind getting my friends back to the village. Areneya and I'll meet you there once we're done with the cure."

"I'll get your friends then. Though, I don't know why you want them. One's a human and the other isn't much better." She spread her wings and took to the sky, but she stopped before leaving. "We're friends now, too. Call me Seva."

"Me too! Call me Aren!" Kiro never thought he'd see the day he was friend with not one but two dragons.

"Alright, Aren. Let's get this cure made." Kiro carried the herbs into Aren's cave and started on the remedy.

"Master, someone's here." Toma whispered. Kiro looked up from the couldren and saw two kids peeking their heads in. He instantly knew the were twins even though they were different genders.

"Mister, are you the dragon?!" The boy asked in an excited whisper.

"Jun! Don't just ask someone their race. I'm sorry Mr. Dragon. We saw you flying over and hoped we'd be allowed your company for just a small while." The blonde girl asked sheepishly. She was so polite.

"Wait a minute! You're the rider!" The boy suddenly became even more excited.

"I wouldn't call him a rider." Aren's voice came out of no where startling everyone. "He could barely hang on."

"Who are you?" The boy asked crossing his arms. Kiro shook his head at the children. They didn't even realise who they were speaking to.

"This is Areneya, a dragon." Kiro pointed out. The shock on their face had Toma laughing uncontrollably.

"Your fox talks!" This look had Kiro laughing.

"This is Toma. He's a spirit." Kiro explained. "And I'm Kiro. I'm human, though."

"My name is Jeya and this is my twin brother, Jun. We're Loliry." Jeya smiled expectantly. However, Kiro had no idea what that was so just looked confused.

"Oh, come on! Aren't you surprised?!" She stomped her foot and pouted.

"I'm sorry. I don't know what that is." Kiro answered honestly.

"Think of them as messengers of the gods. Only, these two seem a little too younge for the job." Toma explained seeming sceptic.

"We're not too younge!" Jun shouted at Toma.

"Exactly! As it happens, we already have a diety who wants us!" Jeya defended.

"Which diety do you serve?" Aren asked as she carefully put the remedy vials in a cushioned bag.

"We're with the Spirit Elder!" Jun puffed his chest up and Jeya suddenly deflated.

"Jun..." She warned quietly.

"Spirit Elder? Alright. We'll drop you off on the way." Aren smiled evilly and Kiro remembered she had a dark side. He suddenly felt scared for the kids.

"You don't have to do that. We're Loliry. We can fly ourselves." Jeya waved her hands in front of herself.

"I haven't seen Spirit Elder in so long. I'd love to show him how big I am now!" Toma's tail wagged back and forth.

"It's settled then. We'll stop by Spirit Elder's on our way to the village." Aren turned on her heel and walked out of the cave followed by depressed looking twins, a happy fox and a very confused man.
