Nithe

Chapter One

A bullhead was seen flying over a forest while the pilot and co pilot occasionally traded small talk or sipped from their thermoses all the while music played faintly as to not distract them from their communication radio, as the co pilot finished a story from a bar that made the pilot chuckle before they heard a thunk sound come from the top of the bullhead "Did we hit another small Lancer?" "I'll go take a look." the pilot stood and began to make his way to the roof hatch only to hear glass shattering and the scream of his co pilot before he was ripped out his seat and straps then thrown out the windshield breaking it further as air rushed in along with what looked like a human dragon.

As the two locked eyes the intruder spoke "I am the captain now." and with a quick spin a mass of black whipped around and smacked the captain into the other wall just barely conscious "Y-You, what are you?" the captain felt a hand wrap around his throat that then pulled him close the male "I thought it was obvious.... Novros." Novros's eyes widened before remembering the eyes of the intruder "N-No... No, no no no no! GET AWAY!" "I missed you too." with a quick jab of his flattened hand he stabbed Novros in the stomach "Lucky for you, I need this to look natural." carefully he carried Nevros to his seat then pushed his claws through the chair "As touching as this reunion has been-" "Me an- and my wife were kind to you." "You still played your parts in my creation. And now... well." he yanked his arm out causing blood to splatter across the console.

"Have a fun flight." he then pulled the wheel towards him hard enough to rip it off the controls before getting out of the now crashing aircraft and watched as it crashed into the sea of green below, he flew to the crashed bullhead finding one of the fuel lines was leaking from one of the ripped off wings and engine deciding to search quickly even if the flames didn't hurt the explosion would; he had found crates of Dust and Dust accessories in the cargo hold making him smirk before grabbing two or three crates using his tail, run outside with them, sat those crates down then run back in carrying a couple more. The process only lasted two trips as other Branwen tribesmen soon showed up and began to help all the while looking at the loot they had gotten out in the end "Dust and Dust accessories headed for a store called 'Star Dust'." (Y/N) sighed at the name "Shit name." "So what do you want done with it all?" "Simple Tay, we'll take this back to camp, keep what we need sell the rest." "I'm surprised you're not trying to keep it all for yourself." said Tay only to earn looks from the rest before he caught on and kept quiet "Normally I would, but Dust is not something you should rely on. It's not a renewable resource and the Dust companies don't seem to understand that. The more holes dug in the planet, the more homes we give to the Grimm." he looked at them all and pointed at the bullhead "Make sure that damn thing explodes." he then grabbed two crates and flew towards camp.

Raven sipped at her tea while watching her tribesmen go about their duties before she noticed an odd shadow on the ground and watched as it got bigger before a cloud of dust obscured her vision, once it settled there was (Y/N) sitting on top of the two crates he took "Loots here!" he called out to everyone while never taking his eyes from Raven. As some of the tribesmen sorted through the crates (Y/N) walked up to Raven "Good haul then?" "Dust and ammo mostly, should keep us stocked for a while but ya never know what's going to happen." "Indeed." the two sat in silence as (Y/N) stared the sky before it was broken by Raven "I want you to do something for me." "Being?" (Y/N) felt Raven grab his chin gently before making him look at her "Go and explore the world. Do something other than this for a while, find your place in the world. Be it making your own tribe of bandits, or becoming a Huntsman, make a life for yourself." after pulling his face away he asked "What brought this on then?" "You're not happy here, everyone here can see it, the only time I see you close to happy is when you get more gold for your pile". She was right, slowly but surely the wonder of the camp had faded for the dragon, but he didn't know where to start exploring "If you need a starting point," she interrupted his thoughts "I'd start by taking the first step out of the camp." she got up and took her cup in her tent leaving the dragon to his thoughts.
