(This rp will start out with Scout retrieving Solace the Skrill in the beginning then will continue as Scout leaving and Solace being the one I'll currently rp in this)


Back on that lonely mountain cliff stood the Rider and her dragon; staring down at the large frozen crystal-dungeon with the previous Skrill inside locked up in safety of the Ice. It was little over a month ago when Scout had frozen the beast there  to retrieve it and her reward for another day...today was that day...just one problem was, getting it down to Berk all in one.

Scout looked upon her Dragon friend who began to dig and slash at the ground the Ice block was sitting on, cutting it up so It'd be easier to push into the Village. You would of thought the two would of brought something to carry it on...nope. Borea was going to do much of the pulling as they didn't have enough wealth to buy themselves something that could aid them..plus Scout wanted no part in anyone trying to help in fear of them wanting the prize money themselves.

From the cloud cover above appeared a massive pair of wings, a tiny little body and an ever-so-long tail, all apparently the same hue as the clouds they appeared from. The dive was fast, broken by a snap of those wide wings as the cloud jumping dragon caught sight of something more interesting on the usually barren cliffside below. The pale galewing circled above in one slow oval as if determining his course of action, his head tilted slightly to peer at the dragon and rider below.

"Might as well." The rider laying on his back spoke in a low, even tone to her irritable partner.

Rath dipped his serpentine neck and flattened his spikes to his elongated body, tucking his wings to his sides to hurtle towards the lonely mountain cliff that was apparently no longer so lonely. His landing was a sudden one, with his speed cut by two well-practiced backstrokes before his claws gripped hard on the surface of snow and ice. His fanned tail swayed from side to side, his fiery eyes fixed on the ride before them.

Reese swung her feet over his shoulder and onto the ground below, tapping her bare palm on the side of his thin muzzle in a 'be quiet' sort of motion. She watched for some time- should the other's dragon partner continue to dig at the ground beneath the frozen Skrill despite her presence- without a word before she drew her closed hand to her mouth and cleared her throat.

"Is that really a Skrill trapped in ice?" The rather monotone, almost implicating voice inquired. If that wasn't a conversation starter, not much is. The rumbling growl behind her didn't help with any sense of frinedliness either.

Scout was aware of the presence at the first clearing of the riders throat, but she never stopped from digging. Borea, her own larger Crystilscale looked to the newcomers however and walked a bit forward as if to create a barrier for any circumstance of violence. Scout looked through her partners legs to the rider and her dragon, "Yes it is a Skrill." she spoke with an unamused tone, she seemed to be more focused on getting it out of the ground than talking..of course with a dragon that had a price from capturing it no one would stop to long for chit chat.

Borea's head stayed on the irritated looking Galewing wondering, 'what his problem could of been from the growling. They flew toward them in curiosity, why would the dragon growl then?' Her long paddle-like tail swished in the snow behind her like a flat snake gliding through water; some of the snow getting back on the crystal-buried Skrill..making Scout get irritated slightly. Ever so often Scout would look at the rider and the dragon beside her..wondering what they were hear for..possibly not just out of curiosity, she had the small assumption they might of been for something else...something she wouldn't approve of

Ullr rose from the snow near Scout and shook the snow off him and Hamingja. He smiled at both other riders present, Hamingja turned to the other dragons with the same smile on his face.

A click of the tongue and Hamingja barked "Ky." and turned curiously towards the frozen skrill, "RrT AT?"

He approached the skrill buried in the ice and ran a hand over the ice coating it's form. Hamingja coughed up a small flame to dry Ullr's glove and leaned in himself.

"What happened to this Skrill?" Hamingja asked Borea, "How could a dragon get frozen in ice, and how do I avoid it?"

Ullr stepped back and turned to the growling galewing and it's female rider. As it sounded vaguely hostile Ullr was on edge, hand wrapped around his hunting knife and balanced on the balls of his feet. Hamingja held a screech in his throat and aimed at Rath.

Ullr stepped closer to Borea and clicked his tongue. Hamingja responded with a few clicks of his own, then chirped "I don't know why you are growling, but if you decide to attack I will do my best to stop you."

Dragon and Human pressed as close to the less hostile sounding dragon as they dared. A fight against anything that big would surely be a disaster for the hunters.
