The forest was as quiet as usual...but many dangrous monsters lurking within the dark forest. However, one young mage had made a desicion to make a home within the dangrous forest, as he was following a dirt road.
The young mage was male in figure, wearing a simple brownish cloak that covered his whole body, as he was heading to a fork in the road. Looking around, making sure that no one followed him, he slightly waved his hand and made the surrounding area wobble and distrort, as the split path reverts back to a single path, as he continues down the road. It doesnt take long for him to reach his destination, as he finally makes his way to a cottage home, opening up the door and entering it.
Once inside of his home, the young man removes his cloak, revealing his form. He was wearing a simple apprentice mage armor; sholder pads and breastplate covered his front, as he carried a staff on his belt. His clothes under was a violet colored shirt and pants, and a pair of leather boots were worn on his feet, as he was setting his bag of items he had bought from in the villege he went to. "Ok...Well I got all the stuff. Now I can at least continue with my experiment." He says as he was looking to what seemed to be a chemistry set, with flasks, bunsin-burners, and tubes on a table.

They had been up in the air for what seemed like an eternity but truly, they were flying non stop for two hours, and still they had a lot of ground to cover before they were back in ther prestigious city. The mountains were they lived was seen in plain sight but that was expected...they were enormous.
Their journay has been pretty interesting, mounting conversations, even jokes, truly her guests were entertaining, and she liked that. For the last half hour however they had been pretty quiet, and she wondered why.
Her stomach grumbled slighly...and she released an annoyed growl, sharp teeth coming out of her muzzle. She was getting a bit hungry and that was bad. Her temper usually turned incredibly sour when that happened, and obviously she didn't wanted to leave a bad impression on the others.
"Hm. Gentlemen by any chances are you hungry?" Sapphire glanced at the warriors, her blue eyes hinting a tiny bit of bloodlust. The hunt was going to be fast and very easy, in fact it will be a good chance for them to see the exotic wildlife that called the lush forest its home.
Sapphire rapidly descended, her dragon companions following from behind, and she glacefully landed just a few hundred feet away from were the young magician was but she was being oblivious to that...she wanted a snack.

"...food, eh?" Kamon hummed, as he tossed a stick of dynamite up and down in his grasp. "Sounds appetizing. I think we could go for some hunting."
"Alright; leave that to me!" Zanji said with a laugh, as he spun his naginata about. "I can take down any beast, no matter how much stronger than me they are!"
Kamon chuckled. It was true; Zanji was one of the younger samurai, and yet he was the strongest, without a doubt. His recklessness in battle did pay off, though; he'd take down anything he would face no matter how badly he was losing. Both a powerful ally and an frightening enemy, he was. "...right; anything on your mind for when it comes to food?" he hummed.

Inside his household, the young mage was hard at work for quite sometime, as he was working on his potions, didnt relize that there were 'uninvited' guests just outside his doorstep. He was busy nearly finishing up one of his concoctions, as he relized that he was missing one vital ingreadiant...a very common plant that was around in his area.
"Damn...and here I got most of the stuff. Ill go out and just pick some herbal grass and be back to finish this..." He says as he was grabbing his cloak once more. It wasnt long that he stepped out from his home, he senced that there was something amiss....something dangerous out in the forest. He wasnt sure what it was, but he wasnt going to be taking any chances, as he pulled out his staff at his side, and held it tightly, going out to find his herbal grass that he needed.

"Oh...?" the dragoness looked down at the rather enthusiastic warrior before chuckling lightly, a light mist covering her enormous body and soon taking the place of the large white dragon was the small figure of Sapphire.
She fixed her robes and smirked at them "Very Well. Impress me then hmm?" she teased at them, putting her hands on her hips.
She started to look around at the rather large open area of the forest, raising her head and sniffing gently at the air, so many aromas, delicious ones. That was when the dragoness turned around and finally noticed a particular...very peculiar one that came in the same direction were Mahados small home was securely located.
"Hm...odd..." she whispered.

"...odd?" Kamon hummed, as he grasped a stick of dynamite. "...is someone spying on us?" he huffed, before he spun the dynamite around. "I'll smoke whoever it is out. Zanji, get ready to cleave whoever it is."
Zanji nodded, as he brandished his weapon. Whoever would approach him would face the wrath of his steel; and it was a certain KIND of wrath that one would otherwise desire to stay away from. "Kamon, Sapphire, huddle closer together; just in case it's an ambush."

The young mage was only going to be out for the herbal grass as he needed, but from what he could tell, there were strangers ahead. He felt as though he was going to meet up with some dangrous creatures, as he was keeping his staff at the ready, making sure he was more then capabale on taking on what he hoped wasnt anything dangerous.
He soon came up to the path that he made warpped before the figures, as he kept his presence down to a minimum....but was rather shocked to see that there were a mix: A dragon from what he feared to be a Blue-Eyes...and warriors of the Six Samarai's! <Crap! Why are they here? If I get caught Im dead! I better...> He thought to himself as he felt as though his magic was keeping his path to his home clear...but he suddenly stepped on a twig.
*SNAP*

Sapphire stood close to both men, her eyes focused at were she picked that odd, yet very familiar scent. She didn't wanted to admit it but she felt EXTREMELY safe with these two samurais next to her, sure she can take care of herself incredibly well but before she could have a chance at the opponent, he/she/it would either be brown up to bits by Kamon or sliced to a thousand pieces by Zanji.
"I really made good choices..." she thought before hearing the single snap from a solitary twig.
Her eyes narrowed dangerously, giving her a rather wild and feral look, her high sense of hearing picking up that sound and she turned around from were it came from "There!" she growled.
Of course Mahado didn't knew that her two Wind Dragons were unnoticed. Hiding behind dense trees. Both dragons rapidly stepped down behind the magician, releasing a feral roar.

That was their cue. Zanji, letting out a war cry, leapt right towards the brush where Sapphire pointed him, and Kamon instantly got out a series of matches; ready to light and hurl his explosives at whoever had decided to intrude on them.
"Alright, who are you?!" Zanji bellowed, as he jutted his naginata at the intruder; not so he'd actually hurt the guy, but so whoever it was knew that Zanji was not joking around. Because if the intruder intended to cause harm to any of them, the wrath of Zanji's steel was just about ready.

<AW Sh--!> He thought to himself, as he knew his goose was cooked if he didnt book it out of the area. He was just about to turn and run, but two Wind Dragons appeared behind him, and caught him off guard. He nearly stummbled on the ground in suprise, but was already facing the two warriors with their weapons already at the ready.
"D-Dont do anything rash! Im just a mage in these woods!" He says as he still had his grip on his staff, not knowing if they would try to attack him reguardless of his spying on them. He didnt know how the confortation was going to turn, especually since most dragons and warriors weren't on good terms with magicians such as him.

An amused chuckle, a snap from her fingers and both Wind Dragon stood away from the frightened mage, but still were close enough just in case he was foolish enough to try anything, but then again he had to deal with Zanji, and she knew that the mages luck was just less than one.
She placed a hand on Kamons right shoulder, a wide smirk on her pretty face, her eyes still glued on the busted young mage "No need for that....for now" she whispered. Ah time for some fun!
She slowly walked over to were Zanji and the mage were and chuckled again "Well, well...I don't remember giving the mages permission to access these parts of the realm" she said in a low yet menacing whisper "Please do tell me young lad...who are you?"

Both Zanji and Kamon stopped in their tracks, as they saw the timid magician they had cornered. Kamon frowned a bit; like his liege, he didn't have too high an opinion of the spellcasters and their kind; they were simply too stiff for his liking. Zanji, on the other hand, maintained a neutral view on them; as he hadn't had any positive or negative experiences with them during his service as a Samurai. Nevertheless, he put his weapon aside.

"Um...Im actually the only mage in the forest....mam." He says as he knew to give respect to those older than him. He could tell by just looking, but he didnt want to make any wrong moves to antaginize the warriors...even if they had their weapons down, it didnt mean they were not going to use them. Mahado was keeping his eye on the Blue-Eyes before him as he sweatdropped to her statement.
"I....I didnt know about anyone saying I could live here. I-I just left my village to study magic on my own..." He was answering her honestly, knowing full well that dragons could detect lies easily, as it was one of the advantages they had over their prey when cornered. He felt like one already, as he was keeping still, and trying not to make any sudden moves as he answers her last question. "My name is Mahado....Mahado Darkstar, apprentice magician."

She raised an eye brow and moved her head to the side, her eyes scanning the area for a few seconds, before looking at the mage again "I suppose you are telling the truth about being the only one..."
The dragoness ran her fingers through her hair, and sighed lightly remembering the meeting she had with the mage overlord a few months ago "I told your leader that no magician must be seen wandering these lands without a permit. I am not fond of your people breaking my rules"
She growled angrily before closing her eyes and calming down a bit, no use in giving the young lad a heart attack right? "But...since you are yet to be a true mage. I guess you might pass, but I do warn you that you had chosen a rather dangerous place to train"

The mage was in a rock and a hard place. Not only did he didnt know about the forest being off limits to mages, but he had no idea that it was a deal with the one dragon who was glaring down at him. However he wasnt the one at fault, as he didnt want to make her any upset at him for this little misconseption. "Miss...I didnt know about anything like that of this forest. I assure you as much, this place is not in any harm...and I didnt do anything to make anything bad while living here for the past few months."
It was true...he had been in the forest for over 8 months already, and he had no intentions of doing any damage to the forest, or the creatures that lived there. The only reason he moved into the forbidden forest was to seclude himself from the intensive trainning that his grandfather had put on him, as he wasnt going to be doing things their way. He wanted to become a 'Dark Magician' on his own, and he did so by leaving the villege. At the moment now, he was trying his best to keep the dragoness from deciding to kill him, or anything rash that would compromise his little experiment he had at his home.
