He stopped and stared at the sky.

Eke felt a calling. An ancient calling.

The call of a dragon.

Through the fog he knew he had to fight it. She he just stood there, staring at the sky from the forest floor.

Eke didnt answer.

His eyes were glassed over, his slit pupils now even more thin.

The call was becoming too much.

Eke finally walked out into the open field. Into the snow covered field.

He didnt have a jacket, or even shoes on.

There was a roar from above. A shadow in the clouds.

It flew off seemingly thwarted for now.

Ekes eyes returned to normal and he fell into Ryker.

"Where...how...how did i..." he asked softly feeling drained. He shook his head coming out of his fog.

"The sound...its gone..."

"Yeah...its a dragons call...i vaguely remember it.." he eyawned.

It was at this point he sneezed.

His sneezed came with a little extra...a little extra fire that was.

It ended up catching ryker's sleeve on fire. Eke begun trying to put it out and gave a sheepish smile.

"sorry" he said with a small giggle.

"Actually i cant really breathe fire. Inflames my throat. Makes it sore" he blushed a little

He jumped down and sat on his bed roll sniffling.

"It only happens when i sneeze" he stretched feeling a little better, if a bit cold.

"Im sorry for that...back there...but...its bound to happen again." he sighed and ruffled his hair trying to make it less of a mess, and only succeeding to make it more a mess.

He blushed but smiled.

"I was never good at doing my hair" he said with a smile.

The way ryker pulled a brush through his hair was much more soothing than the way his mother always did it.

"So...where do we go today?" he chirped.

"Why do you bring up a forest?" he raised an eyebrow.

It wasnt that he didnt like forests, but they seemed a little stuck in one right now and a town would be nicer.

"How long till the next town?" he said with a blush as his stomach growled.

"Woops looks like its breakfast time" he said sheepishly.

"Meat" he smiled.

"Or fish" he nodded. He did something a of a little dance.

"Did you know a dragon CAN survive on only fish? well, normal dragons anyways. I think i get a bit of a pass on that huh?" he smiled despite the self deprecating content.

"But yeah protein is good." he streched his wings and yawned.

He smiled. "I could fish it for you if you want"

He took a bite of the jerky and leaned back.

"I mean..if you want big fish" he grinned.

He smiled and got up uncurling his tail.

"Show me the way to the river" he chuckled and put on a jacket and shoes.

"No point in getting sick again right?" he said as he tied his shoes.
