Florence chuckled and nodded, "Oh I know he'll pass. That doesn't mean I'm not horrified either." She still kept her eyes locked on the forest even as Cian was talking with her. At his comment about being curious she looked over at him, "Hmm, people usually are. What would you like to know?" It was probably best that Florence keep her mind off worrying for Connal she knew that if she did it would be difficult for her to make it through the day. Hopefully these trials would be done quickly.
Florence looked over at Brennus for a moment and softly smiled, the two were worried sick. They both knew Connal could do this but that didn't take away the fact that he could hurt himself. Florence remembered the day Connal could have died, the fear and sorrow of that night still lingered. It was a taste of the pain that could happen.

Cian had kept quiet and listened to the others speaking, observing Florence for a time as well. It was quite obvious she had feelings for Connal. After a moment of silence, with his eyes still fixed on her he spoke reassuringly and with a hint of confidence, "He'll pass and make it through. We'll know it when hear a dragon." Tilting his head some with a smile he added, "Come and talk with us Florence, we are most curious about you." He glanced over at Agrona who was in his usual mode of talking a little too much, though, he wouldn't be who he was were he to do so less.
He could see Brennus was keeping quiet, no doubt for the same reason Florence had. However Brennus would come around soon, they needed a slight change of atmosphere. The pressure, worry, tension and general nervousness wasn't going to do anything.

A smile appeared on Agrona's face. "Brennus' son? Ah! That is splendid news, its good to know one of us had a son. I would have had many sons but--" Agrona cleared his throat. "How long ago did he begin his trial? Surly not too long ago, hopefully he doesn't have to face a long wait to become a rider. Our world's need for him is growing stronger." The young women remained ever quite and kept her eyes to the trees, he wondered what she could possibly be thinking.
Being a dragon rider was a responsibility. Agrona only hoped that this Connal was up for the task.

How long has it been? Only about a half and hour it would seem maybe less. Why couldn't she have the ability to speed up time? The one thing she wanted more than anything was to see Connal walk back to her from where he disappeared. Him being off like this made her wonder what she would do if he never did come back, if perhaps he was defeated. What would she do? Florence knew that she would have to force herself to go on, to keep on fighting. Yet she knew that without Connal she couldn't live happily. He was her only reason to be here, she believed he was why she was here.
Florence must have been tuning out the others because she didn't hear any of their conversation. All she could do was stare at the spot where she last saw Connal. As Agrona introduced himself she looked toward him, giving a nod she softly smiled. However she soon returned to her former dread. When Agrona asked who the rider was Florence responded but kept her eyes on the same spot, "His name is Connal, Brennus' son."

"Really? I always thought you were the unfortunate looking one." Agrona said with a matter-of-fact tone. Chuckling her looked toward the woman. Her eyes were still glued to one spot in the forest, no doubt she was looking for the new rider. Agrona introduced himself to her but said no more. He could tell she was too worried at the moment to converse. She reminded Agrona of his lost loved one. Hopefully Florence would be strong enough to stay with the new rider. The life of a dragon rider wasn't the easiest, for the rider and their loved ones.

Masking his worry with great skill, he smiled when his friend Cian showed up and began speaking to Florence. Dragon Riders, those who were left of the old order, usually arrived to the island when a new Rider was taking the trials. It was something they all 'knew'. They shared a lifeforce connection between each other and would know if one had fallen, Awakened, or some other unexplainable event. Which was why they had all gathered now.
Looking out, he noticed, or rather heard Agrona arrive. Brennus laughed at his question. "Well Cian isn't too far behind. ... We just happen to age slower than you! Or perhaps I just enjoy my looks too much to think of growing a beard!"

Agrona caught wind of new comers on the island. Well, was there a new dragon rider in the making. Slowly, he made his way to the shore. Setting his eyes upon his two old friends and a new young women he sighed. So the new dragon rider was already facing his trials? Making his way over to the group he sad on a nearby piece of drift wood. "Ah, Brennus! You've decided to remain young I see. Am I the only one who thought the natural aging process was the correct way to go?" Smiling he gave a friendly nod to Cian.
"Is the dragon rider to be already out facing his fears? Too bad, I rather hoped I could have meet him before."

As Florence caught sight of a man approaching she cocked an eyebrow. Reading him quickly she knew he wasn't going to be any trouble. As he talked about the weather she sighed, now she really wanted to get off of this island. When he introduced herself she smiled some, "Nice to meet you. I'm Florence, a currently nerve wracked --" Looking over at Brennus she spoke quietly, "What did you call me a few weeks ago?" Remembering she looked back to Cian, "Oh, Yes--Seer." Florence's current state was nearly comic, it was to hide how horrified she was.
At times Florence became overly sarcastic to hide her emotions, either that or she would go numb. This island was mad! If Connal was to be a dragon rider why did he have to prove himself? The dragons should--come to him. Florence let out a sigh, there was nothing she could do about it. It wasn't long until Florence began to watch the spot where Connal last was seen. She wondered how long it would be.
Escape to Alcanous, a visionary world that is a remnant of it its once-glorious self. You will find no skilled magic of wizards or the glamoury of the Elves here, for that is a magic that has long-ago vanished from this world. It exists in but tiny pockets to the ardent traveler. Instead, mankind hides behind their high walls & rusted armor to combat, for glory or honor, their elite rivals. Knights endeavor to live in a chivalric code befitting of Alcanous's once-glorious peace, now lost. With the growing ignorance of man, a new enemy has cunningly raised its head to harness the growing darkness in men's hearts, & summon an ancient Darkness to perpetually enslave mankind. Will the cult succeed, or will it fail? If you would wield Destiny, you may decide...
