Naomi DragnousDragon FormNaomi, a dragon/human hybrid at the age of 21 and the first female knight, was outside practicing drills with her comrades. She was the first and only female knight in this kingdom who was also a dragon. No one knew this about her though, as dragons were often seen as aggressive creatures who ate humans, which she knew was further from the truth. She was adopted by the current king's uncle when she was young. While she had a short temper, she wasn't thought of as a dragon, since her dragon form only showed itself when she was alone and angry. Her adoptive father took her secret to the grave along with his wife. Her father who was the captain at the time, died in battle, and her adoptive mother took ill. It eventually killed her because she was too stubborn to receive treatment at that time, even though Naomi was in her life. Naomi always wanted to become a knight, ever since her father adopted her after saving her from starvation in the woods. That's when she met the prince, who became like her big brother well in a way. From the time she was old enough to understand she had feelings for him, but never showed such emotions when she was around anyone, not even him. Though she bow to him in respect, she wanted so badly to tell him what she really was and her feelings for him.

Naomi DragnousDragon FormAs soon as they got the order, Naomi got her armor on, got on her horse and went with the others to the border. Once there she and the others surveyed the situation, with her on guard as always whenever she was there. She then heard someone sneaking up on her and smelled metal with blood mixed in, thanks to that dragon nose of hers. She then turned and blocked the knife wielding man's attack with her shield and sword, making sure to arrest him, as she didn't want to prove to anyone that her kind were vicious killers. After apprehending the man and finding the others, Naomi stood watch over her attacker not letting anything he said, mostly cat calls, get to her or distract her from the mission at hand.

Naomi DragnousDragon Form"Of course, Sire." She said being formal and polite to her king, even though he was her adoptive cousin. Deep down she wanted to address him as 'her love' or something along those lines, but in her mind who could ever love a dragon. Especially considering she was half dragon herself. Though Naomi never knew her biological parents, she was scared of what would happen if she was found out. Some of the knights still made fun of her behind her back, saying she had 'dragon's eyes' when she was mad since it looked like her pupils would retract whenever she got mad. She never got mad about it though, as she was just grateful that she at least knew what a father was supposed to be like. Along with a mother. Her earliest memories were of blood and fighting.
When Naomi was found, she was covered in blood which her adoptive father assumed was her mother's. She used to have nightmares about a dragon being killed in front of her after he hid her and told her to run and not look back before there was a shadowy figure yelling something behind her. She'd wake up crying silently every night and would sometimes sneak into bed with her adoptive parents. Naomi was often made fun of for not being a girly girl like the other girls her age back then. Usually she would become a lady in waiting, or something along those lines, but she had always wanted to become a knight like her adoptive father after he once showed her around the palace and met Avalan for the first time, along with his parents. Naomi had always been a beautiful girl even when she was covered in mud and scrapes. Her father would always call her his little 'good luck charm' or his ray of sunshine. But mostly he called her his baby girl. When he was killed in battle, she was so heartbroken, that she wouldn't come out of her room, for days, hugging the last gift he got her from his last trip to one of the surrounding villages. She still had it, it was a necklace that had a golden locket on it with a picture of him, Naomi's adoptive mother, and Naomi when she was a girl inside. It was her most cherished possession.
As she got on her horse she rode next to Avalan back towards the palace. She was always nervous whenever they were alone, but she was so grateful that he convinced the captain to give her a chance. The captain hadn't regretted it yet and she wanted to make sure he never would.

Avalan waited for her to mount her horse and follow she always was the quiet type though stunning to say the least he always found she was scared to be to bold around certain persons he assumed fear of something from his past... He remembered his father talking with his uncle upon visiting and seeing her for the first time he could claim she was his first crush but those feelings faded over to years to a small simmer seeing the situation in which she would have rathered stayed a knight then that of a lady he watched her grow into something strong seeing as she very much enjoyed her time as a knight he turned to her smiling asking,"So Naomi I hear you have been doing very well among your ranks", he congratulated her,"I have been doing alot of research on an ancient cup it has been said to lie in the white mountains to the far north but they say there are dragons and other large beast that kill humans on sight... though the cup is free to take according to legend someone pure of heart may take of it for a good purpose I wish to know if it will help cure those who are sick like my mother", he said sighing,"I am not sure much of the legends of the cup if the contents are rare of if the cup itself can make any drink heal you but I assure you it will be used in great caution", he looked forward as they road back the castle already looming up ahead,"Many think my expedition would be crazy to take say I could loose my life but I rather try to find something that could benifit those forever then to stay here and watch people suffer on a daily basis", he shook his head,"War, famine plague its all the same and it comes every year.... year by year we continue to seem to die off quicker or is it just that we are having a few bad years of luck?", he asked turning to her worried,"I would hope the western medicine would have been good for the people and has done it justice but will it be enough to save them all?"..

King Avalan of Estovia
They returned to the castle he was discussing with his mother he would be leaving soon as she began to weep,"Don't leave my son you are the only ruler of this land.. and I am to old and frail to take care of it", kissing his mother heads he told her,"It will be fine mother", he promised her,"I will always take care of us", he swore to her; Slipping away with two of his favorite men he found Naomi in the garden waiting the soft light of the moon on her skin brought a strange feeling over him as he smiled and thanked her for coming they all road away into the dead of night and would appear on the edge of misty woods... "We rest here now..", he told them,"We can go further in a few hours and then late this night coming we shall rest", he told them all dis mounting as they wondered what to do with the horses,"We shall leave them in the meadows they are good horses and won't rush off but I doubt we can bring them to the mountains", he sighed,"It is way to dangerous...", he told them all going to sit down on a fallen tree log,"Are you alright Naomi? I am sure the ride was harder on you then us", he told her wiping his brow with a handkerchief he had tucked away on him.
[that will probably be good I feel like that happening he will be over come with grief and his men will make him turn back because he has lost someone precious to him so they will force him back home if she returns alive with the cup he will want an explanation and then perhaps that is when she can show him her form]

King Avalan of Estovia
Avalan and his men followed the young maiden to the entrance as she found them a small cave it was perfect size for them not to big and not to small and he found himself walking inside of it to the back and breathing a sigh of relief,"It has a deep bend it will keep others away from us even in the dark with fire light", he informed them all,"They will have to smell us out if we roll our selves among these strong smelling plants", he told them,"They shall not find us", he said smiling,"It will be perfect", he then turned to Naomi patting her shoulder gently,"Good work Naomi", he told her he then began to instruct them to set up there beds inside,"Let us gather woo and settle down for the night prepare the rations.. it is still light out before full darkness and we are miles away from the trolls we can possibly fish this stream", he told his men,"It will provide some food", he then nodded to them as they went to find long sticks to spear fish out of the stream..
