After the whole ordeal with NEON and more dragons, Brandon decided it was time to get some actual rest in before continuing on. So he had made his way into a local forest, and found a nice soft, but open patch of grass to lay on.
He soon collapsed onto it with a loud sigh as he looked up at the clouds in the sky. "This world is almost too much for me... Why was I thrown into such a place anyways?" He asked himself, but Verlith merely replied "You know why..." which made Brandon growl at him.
"I never asked to be your host, nor did I want to come here.... Nothing but trouble seems to follow me everywhere..."

Roxsenne was walking in the same forested area and when she found Brandon lying on the ground she approached him and looked down at him, "What are you doing here?" she asked of him as she stood over him. "Are you tired or something? I hope you're not because this planet is still crawling with annoying NEON agents here and there, but I doubt they're around here for now."

"Of course Im tired...After that time with Neon, and those dragons...that and I havent eaten or slept in two days...Ya, Im tired." He said, having a good idea who it was that was talking to him, as he opened his eyes and saw Roxsenne. "I do think she IS following you now..." Verlith did say, as Brandon sat up.
Gazing over to Roxsenne, he smiled "And what at you doing here? Its ok if you came to rest here to. As you said, Neon isnt here, so if you want to rest, nows the time to do it."

"I came to talk to you," Roxsenne admitted, "I want to express my apologies for the other day about that and the monster that we fought that one day. I don't believe in attacking people as quickly as others due though unless they've done something wrong like hunt you down like NEON has."
She knelt before him and asked, "Would you be as so kind though as to help me some more? I am heading to space quite soon and am unsure if I should bring you along or another person who's been working with me as a student. I've not been able to get contact with her, but I want to go to a different planet other then Earth to find my home world of Castelle."
She then bowed her head and said, "If you help, well, I will be highly indebted to you. My world is besieged by a man named King Harmut and ruled with an iron fist. He is my uncle and cast me onto this forsaken rock with no way home. One of my squires named Cons-ante, a human named Avery I met, and a demoness named Azazel have been helping me mostly, but I would like to possibly leave them out of my mess. A mess that I must clean up so I can retake my home world from him. If you help me I can and will grant any request that is possible within your heart. I know you come from the past, another dimension perhaps, but I was hoping you could reforge yourself here in this universe as a new person and become a building block for my planet's new setup."

As Brandon listened to her situation, he heard her mention a 'squire', which made him think of the Knights of old times. To help her out, to help her take back her home world from her tyrannical uncle who was a king, it made him smile. "Of course Miss Roxsenne, I would be glad to help in anyway I can. " He said, as he could of sworn he heard Verlith mumble "Suck up".
He still smiled, as he asked "So when you say you have a squire... Does that mean you are a knight of sorts?" as he tilted his head a bit in curiosity. "NEON might be the least of our worries since the Dragons of old have returned. Kinda coincidence to since I came here around the same time..." He said, as he thought about her offer. To grant him whatever he wanted... The first thing that came into his mind was going home... back to his era, but he knew that that wasnt going to be possible.
"If our original deal still stands, then everything is in order. Help me, Help you. Still not 100% sure of this planet and the people in it, but Im adjusting pretty well."

"I am indeed a knight, and yes, our original deal probably does still stand." Roxsenne's hand went to her breast plate and she smiled at him before lowering both her hands down and wrapping them around her greaves.
"You speak of dragons of old, but my planet has been the only one I have heard of with dragons on it. For now, I say we ignore the beast I stabbed yesterday, go into space, and try to find my home. Once we do and I regain proper control of it as queen I'm sure I can rally some forces to help you kill it. We are not a space faring group of aliens though so it may take some time to reproduce the ship I bought off my squire. But I'm sure my wizards can do it for you."
"If I do that all for you what was it again that you wanted in return?" she asked as she twisted the ponytail on the back of her head.

"Queen eh? Guess that means by the time we finish, I would be bowing to you eh?"He asked as he chuckled a bit under his breath. When she said that her planet was the only one to have Dragons on it until now, "As much as Id like, I dont think staying on just one planet will be what I want to do. I want to explore...I want to learn...I want to protect." He said as he gazed up at the sky again.
"Defeating Dragons is in my blood Literally.... Tell me, On your planet...Do you have anyone titled as 'Dragonborn'?" He asked, curious if there were other people on her planet that were like him. "Ya know? People who can absorb the souls of fallen dragons, and gain their power?"

"Um, well," Roxsenne said with some blush on her face. "That's a lot to take in, but I was only bowing to you earlier because here I guess the fact I'm royalty doesn't stand for anything and it annoys me. That said, we do have half breed people with dragon like qualities. Actually, we consider anyone who isn't fully human like I am a Demi-Monstari. Demi-Monstari come in three forms. People with glittering wings and pointed ears, people without wings but pointed ears, and people with scaly lizard like features that are like dragons. We call them all Demi-Monstari, but the purebred dragons of our word are Monstari or Draconis. All creatures of non-Caballye descent they say descend from Draconis, like the great and powerful Errende, who gave our people weapons and the ability to create living metals for us to wear about. That's how we became Caballye properly because before we were probably just like you weakling humans."
Roxsenne hoped it was not too much for him to understand but she decided to add more so he would have a full picture. "Caballye after getting living metal pretty much conquered the planet and created the Kingdom of Bright Star consisting of many feudal lands owned by various lords under the family of Err. The house of my uncle and mother, which takes its name from Errende and uses the beast as our crest." Roxsenne was not wearing the beast's symbol at all currently, but she hoped to show it to him or draw it for him if she could at some point.

He listended to how she replied to his questions about other hybrid creatures with dragon like attributes, and he smiled "Heh, I see i see. Not quite what I was meaning, but I understand..." He replied as he heard her refer to him as a weak human. It made his smile disappear, as he said to her "Roxsenne, Im not just a normal human... I AM Dragonborn... AND I have this..." as he held up his bracelet.
"I stopped being Human as soon as this thing attached itself to me." He said, lowering his arm. "There was a barrow that was uncovered under Central city. I ventured in, and the energy in my bracelet revived a dragons skeleton buried there. It grew back its skin, and it was just like it was alive again... I killed it, and absorbed its soul... Thats when I found out..." He added, but as he said it, he stated to feel like he was a monster... a freak of nature.
"If I ever got to visit your planet, Id probably been seen as a freak...An abomination of man, and magic..."

"Wow, that sounds tough. To be honest, I've never actually fought a dragon until the other day. I've watched plenty of people fight them, however, never have fought one myself." Roxsenne answered as she gripped the hilt of her sword. She wondered if she should attack him knowing this but released her grip on her weapon.
"I'm not sure I'm into actually slaying dragons, I really can't slay you since you've been nothing wrong, yet if you came to my planet I'd assure you some leniency there. Just as long as my uncle's dead I can do that you know." She smiled at him and offered her left gauntlet, "What do you say?"

Brandon saw Roxsenne reach for her weapon, but that much was expected. He saw her have second thoughts on attacking him, and it made him smile again. "Tis what friends are for.... And let me tell ya...fighting a dragon, isnt as easy as it sounds... I think I just got lucky that once..." He said, as Roxsenne offered him a deal and extended her left hand to see if Brandon would accept it.
He thought about it for a moment. What did he have to lose? Nothing. He reached out, and took her left hand with his right in a handshake of a sealed deal. It was a moment after making contact, that Roxenne could feel that they werent alone. Connected, Verlith spoke to Roxenne softly as to not frighten her. "Ah Miss Roxsenne, We meet at last... Do not fear, I am merely a voice. I pose no threat."

"Ah!" Roxsenne cried in surprise hearing Verlith in her head, "You must be the creature or being Brandon was speaking of the other day! Do you mind if I thank Brandon for the other day?"

"By all means, you may. I wont stop you from thanking him."He said, as he was curious how Roxsenne was going to 'thank' his host when it was really him that did most of the work.
"And please, refer to me as Verlith. I am the Ruby Chaos Dragon Spirit."He added, as his presence would seemingly fade from Roxsenne's mind, even while Brandon and Roxsenne still held hands for a few moments, before Brandon let go of her hand. "Sorry, He didnt tell me he was going to speak with you." Brandon said, looking a bit worried, and embarassed.
He hoped that Roxsenne would freak out at Verliths sudden mental intrusion...

"It's fine," Roxsenne told him as he pat him on the shoulder, "the wizards on my planet tend to like accessing travelers minds if they run across them for their own security."
Being five-feet, six inches tall she did not have to stand on her toes too much, but she gripped his shoulders and used them as leverage to balance herself slightly as she leaned in and kissed him on the lips. "It's proper demoiselle training to kiss a gentleman. If you don't know what that is I suppose it's a damsel-in-distress."
She pulled back and uttered, "I hope you liked that. I was wondering if you might like to date, possibly marry me in the future. If my rebellion to capture my home world is a success it will be likely my people will push me into marriage. Generally speaking, they are people who like to follow the standard principles of patriarchy and usually I am, but I want a man they won't be choosing from my own planet. I trust my people but after being denied things so long in my life I would like an outsider's help with properly reclaiming my home world."

If Verlith had eyes, they would be wide as well, as well as Brandons, as Roxsenne came up, and planted a kiss on his lips... His...Very...first...Kiss...
He was left speechless after the kiss, and was even more speechless after she said that she hoped he liked the kiss, and hopefully in the future they would date, and even be wed! Brandon hadnt thought past getting dates, let alone getting married. His heart started to skip beats, as his smile brightened "Roxsenne... It would be my honour, and my pleasure to be the one to stand at your side while you are Queen of your world. I always knew I never fit in with this world, or my world. Perhaps it is fate that I do stay by your side?" he nervously replied. Things were moving all so fast, and was basically running off of what movies had always taught him.
He got to one knee infront of her, gently took her hand in his, as he said "With ever ounce of strength that both Verlith and I have at our disposal, I will not rest until you are on the throne as the Queen. No matter what..."
