Kerash had more on her mind than the fact that she may be followed by a miniature dragon. In fact, being the favored daughter, not to mention child of either sex, of the current leader of her clan and military leader for Halcyon, she could care less about some other creature trying to stalk her. They’d be crazy to attempt anything.

So, Kerash simply lead the small human child down into a small laboratory that was filled with mechanics and half-finished to barely working complete creations. Half of the contraptions that were built within this specific laboratory never worked at all and never left the room, but there were the occasional machine that worked brilliantly, such as the central computer that regulated the entire complex, that emerged from these walls.

In the middle of the giant mess, was a tall, slender green male being. He was one of the species that had evolved from the omnivorous raptor-like creatures such as Oviraptors into highly intelligent bipeds. Meanwhile, Kerash’s on race had kept there basic form throughout the entire span of the millions of years that they’ve been evolving, highlighting the strength and maneuverability of their forms, and simply developed more bulk and more brains. Nonetheless, the creature within the room was a dull green color for the most part, with specks of orange and yellow on his backside. He had a long slender neck and soft brown feathers that decorated the back of his neck and head. His slender tail also had a plume of feathers at the tip. Everything about the creature seemed as if he was about to break, of course, Kerash thought such about all of his race. Still, in the end, it fit Raim’s personality perfectly.

The human child frowned as she entered the room and softly spoke. “This guy’s an idiot. I don’t like him.” Nonetheless, she moved away from Kerash and wandered into the back of the room where she began to fiddle with one of the half-completed machines.

Kerash shook her head at the child then snorted at Raim. “I am going to train with my father some more. You, watch the child. You’ve done this before and know what to do.”

Raim jumped slightly at the sound of Kerash’s snort and sighed as he spotted the currently beta raptor. “Cheerful as usual, I see.” He slowly shook his head at Kerash’s attitude. “I’ll watch your charge as if she were my own, dear friend. And I promise to spoil her just as much as you do.”

Kerash snorted once more. “You’d better. And we are not dear friends.” She swished her tail once, though there is not any real animosity in her actions then quickly moves out of the room.

Raim shook his head at Kerash’s attitude and sighed. “One day that one will learn to lighten up…” He blinked and tilted his head as he spotted a small dragon in the background and waved at her. “Hello, may I help you?”
