[Trade] drak from the stars part two

 Xena and Ginger look at eachother. “You are beautiful,” Xena says. 

     “Thank you” she laughs. “You are documenting us?” Xena nods. 

     “My beloved loves to see new things so i always make sure to document when im away from him” she says. “That bag we found was his, the al stamped on the cover of the book was a gift from me when we first began adventuring,” she says. “It matches my own” 

     Meissa growls. “I have to endure a human with us for what?” she snaps. “I can't even begin to understand your mind” 

       Xena smiles. “We may not be able to understand things sometimes but at least i can show you” 

       Meissa growls. “I'm not even gonna react to that” 

        Sky smiles. “Endurance run??” she asks. 

        “Dump off the girl and let's do it, first one back to the village wins” she turns human, “three two one” 

        Sky and the other two dump Xena and they race back home, Xena follows smiling as she jumps over branches and fallen trees with the agility of a cat, breaking and shattering the stuff she cant jump over. The three draks watch as she runs, she jumps up as Meissa sees her spin in mid air. “Gotta keep up” she laughs as the three bolt to keep up with her. 

        “How are you doing all this,” Meissa asks humbled. 

        She skids beneath a tree. “Its called animal training,” she says. “Lycon trained me to embrace who i am inside, im a cat so i can be as agile as a cat” she jumps up and onto a log. She leaps off and laughs as the 4 run thru the forest. She knows that she has stuff to do back in her shop but this is too fun. “Its simple, about endurance and embracing who you are” she says as she stops them. 

         “Embracing who you are” she smiles laughing. “Come on meissa” 

         “Fine” she says as she looks at her. “So what do we do?” 

         “First endurance run and once the adrenaline is pumping thru us we can talk more later” she smiles as she flips and starts running off again. “Lets go” 

         Sky and Ginge follow after as meisssa joins them as she laughs as they reach a cliff. She chuckles. “Catcha later gators” she jumps off screaming with laughter as she swan dives into the water. The three shrug and follow them as they engage in an impromptu endurance triathlon. Xena and the draks take turns crushing things and jumping over things in their way as the twins watch them tear across the beach. She laughs as the draks start panting. 

           “Slow down!!” meissa says “i cant keep up.”

           The other two collaps from the run. “That was fun but really draining” 

            She chuckles. “Yea i guess haha,” she says full of energy. “Wanna go another round!??” 

           The three look at her “are you out of your mind?” 

             Xena stretches. “Im great,” she says. “I do have to get back to the shop tho, i have much to do” she says. 

           “Why dont we help you” Sky says. “If meissa can endure it for a bit” 

           “Fine ok” 

           They go up to her shop. “Welcome to Xena’s curios.” she says as they look around. 

           “So what do you want us to do” Sky asks. She sees the picture of Lycon sketched by Xena. his eyes glimmering. His hair pulled back with a headband with wolf ears. “Is this lycon?” 

           She smiles. “Yea, its lycon” meissa smiles as sky gives her the picture. 

          “Tell me about the human you like” she asks. 

           “He is My sun and stars, my heart” she says near tears. Sky sees the look on her face. 

          “Your going thru an endurance test of your own” 

          “Like us??” meissa growls and looks at xena. “Shes not goint thru a endurance test shes going thru a cry cry thing, she will get over it” 

         “For your information, he means a lot to me” she says as she sets the picture down. “Ok more stuff” 

        “Sky, can you help Ginge harvest the Athelas?” 

         “Yea sure” 

         “Meissa you can help me make the potions that i use for you guys” 

         “Of course,” she says as she watches Xena. 

         “I have an order of moon lace, moon orchid, and fennel” she looks at the order. “Ok Meissa hand me the Moon orchid” she does as she watches Xena work. Her eyes watched the potions. “You create these for us” 

        “I currently can make a myriad of different ones using athelas and other plants i find. Peppermint helped me so much with it” she says as she shakes the concoction. “Perfect” she hands a bowl to Meissa. “You can help me crush the herbs needed” 

         “Ok,” she says. She smiles. “I learned how to from Lycon, im the defacto healer” 

         “Healer?” Miessa asks. 

         “Yea, in our world we each have powers, Lycon is a werewolf of the HIGHEST strength, he has his pack of misfits and rebels made from humans, empowered, and other weres that have no place in the world. I am a Neko healer,” she says. “I became the defacto healer,” she says. “Lycon is our pack leader, and my alpha” 

         “You are in love with him?” 

        “And him with me, I'm also pack leader,” she says.

       “How did you two meet?” she asks. “I would love to know the story” 

       She smiles. “We met after I got out of college, we were friends for a few years but after my powers and abilities manifested I was kicked out of my home. He found me and took me in” she says. “Gave me a home, a pack to call my own” 

        Meisssa smiles. “Cool” 

        She uses her magic to create a set of instruments out of fire. Sky looks at her. “Your flame??!!” 

        She smiles. “Why yes I am” she bows revealing her flame costume in a tap of her foot. 

       “I hear from Fooli and April that your performance with the others are INSANE!! Where are the other 4??” Sky asks as Missa gasps at Xena. 

        “I was there at the party, I was in awe of you” meissa says. “The tricks you were doing were amazing” 

       Ginger looks at her. “Why hang out here?” 

        “Im hoping someday to find Lycon and travel more of the world here” she says. 

         The three look at her happy. 

        “Listen im sorry for the way i treated you,” meissa says. “Sometimes as drakiri i can be too proud and that can land me in trouble” 

          Xena smiles. “It's alright, even for me its strange,” she says. “You guys are a new species to me” she crushes the herbs and dumps them in a bottle. “Ok this goes to autumn. And im gonna have to get her checked out soon to see how the baby is developing” Xena makes mental notes. “Sky, can you help me with deliveries? Its very important that these arrive on time” 

           Sky and Ginger nod. “What do you need” they ask her. 

           “We need to deliver them to Fooli and April, Autum for her pregnancy and another,” she says looking at her order list. “Also im gonna need to swing by the stables to check in on the new baby” 

             “New baby?” Sky asks

             “I got news there is a new baby,” she says. “Oak sometimes goes out and finds new baby draks to take in and protect” 

             Sky smiles. “Thats so sweet,” she says. 

             She chuckles. “Back home me and my beloved ran a pet shelter,” she says. “And a horse sanctuary and a wolf reserve” 

             Meissa looks at her. “You ran all of that with your family?” she asks as ginger and the other two smile. 

             “Yes” she finishes up with her orders. “Ok now im gonna need you guys to help with the carts. Im also gonna get some stuff for my shop when im out” 

             Ginger smiles. “Ill do it” she says as Xena hooks her up to the cart. 

              “Come on guys,” she says as they walk thru the city. “Ok first up is” she looks at her book. “We need to go to autumn’s place to drop off the herbs” they make their way there as she smiles at autumn and gives them the herbs. “Make sure you take that once daily” autumn nods. 

              She walks off and smiles. “ second stop, nursery,” she says checking off her list. They walk to a center where silverwind and rest can be seen. “Ok. next up, check and give the draklings food and make sure they are growing well” she opens the door as a few of the baby ones wobble up to her. “Hey little ones” she pets them. “Feel free to interact with them” she smiles as she sets out their food. 

             “So you take care of them?” Skye asks. “That must be a lot” 

             She sees the small winged drakeling as she smiles checking its temp. “Shes ok”
