WATER DRAGON FEST
The portside Town of Elmina is holding their annual Water Dragon Festival in honor of the Water Dragon Waka. Water Dragon Waka is a known foodie, so there will be a cooking competition held by the city lord as well as a variety of street vendors set up to celebrate the festivities. Additionally, the royal family of Valeria will be holding a hunt in the nearby Pouring Rainforest in honor of this event.

Draseel was a strange place for the heavenly force, Bellamy Grayberry, to step foot in after a year of being away. This was his home, where his adventure first began. It wasn't so long ago that Bellamy left his mansion and his family with the quest to be the greatest mage the world had seen. It was awkward for Bellamy to return now, having not completed his mission. He wanted to see his family again when he was successful or perfectly mastered his magic at the least. However, instead, he was here for a very mediocre mission. [break][break]
Capturig a cat was the mission Bellamy was forced to do today. Honestly, did these people think Bellamy was a joke? He was a "d-class" mage according to his guild's ranking, meaning that he had to perform basic d-class tasks- only, these d-class tasks were incredibly humiliating. How could someone expect an esteemed mage like Bellamy to do such a mundane task? There was so much more he could be used for. He could use his skills to defeat a couple of bandits, or maybe even capture a mugger or two. Anything was much better than Bellamy catching a kitten while his magical power decayed from little use. [break][break]
But, Bellamy digressed. He learned a lot about the cat from the request poster he took. Thankfully, there was a picture of the target on the front of the paper. All he needed was to walk around the city of Drasseel, avoid meeting anybody that knew his family personally, and capture the stupid cat before it caused any more trouble. [break][break]
Thus, that is what Bellamy did. [break][break]
He moved from block to block, keeping a lookout for any stray cat that fit the royal concubine's descriptions of her pet. There were times where he would run into a pure black cat or a pure white, or even a white cat with black spots. Though, none matched the color which fit the picture of the cat- a grey and white striped kitten with a cut along its right eye, as well as a bell on its black colored collar that hung around its neck. [break][break]
As the sun began to set, Bellamy was sure that the cat had died by now. After walking through the entire town of Drasseel, he had no luck. He stopped in front of an alleyway next to a bread store and a butchery shop. A deep sigh escaped him as he prepared to quit for the day.
When the man abruptly stopped in front of the alley, it wasn't a cat he'd fine, but, instead, elysia. except, she was definitely dozing off. stretched out in the dying sunlight and as content as ever..of course, only she could fall asleep any and everywhere. roused awake by the noise he made though, she stared up at the man with a sleep-tinted stare, blinking once...then twice. why'd this guy look familiar? ugh...what was she doing before she decided to take a nap? and more importantly...why the hell did she have the taste of milk and-- was that grilled salmon? "wha..." she rubbed at the corner of her mouth, not bothering to fix her less than 'lady-like' appearance of her frazzled hair and less than straight clothing (if one could even count the little clothing she wore as an 'outfit' to begin with).
then, it hit her.
"oi, you - wait," she called out with a loud yawn, using the brick wall as a means to help herself up. slowly but surely, things were coming back to her...starting with him. she glanced down at her hand, squinting at the crude writing on her palm. 'long hair?' check. 'pretty?' sure, yeah, check. 'nice eyes' check. and that guild mark...yea, it definitely had to be him. "you - oi, you're kinda cuter in person. niccee." casual, blunt, but, charming in her own way, her sharper teeth showed themselves off in a wide grin. "you're finding the dumb cat, yea? guess whose your partner. lucky you, i know." that grin only grew as she pointed a finger back towards herself. the royal officials offered her a description of her 'partner' when she took the quest a handful of hours ago and, knowing she'd forget, she wrote down a few...'key words' on her hand. in hindsight, she realized her 'keywords' were pretty...vague, but, eh. they got the job done.
"i took a little cat nap 'cause...damn that spot looked pretty comfortable at that moment....my backs killin' me now though." she grunted slightly, stretching and soon hearing the satisfying crack of various bones. "before i did though, i got some stuff to help us attract the cat. some milk-" she paused in mid-sentence, eyes narrowing before her lips pursed in an 'o'. no wonder she had such weird tastes in her mouth....
rubbing the back of her head with an easy-going, hearty chuckle, she gave a grin,"nevermind, i ate em'." pursing her lips and popping them she soon shrugged. "mmh...maybe i'll get another, better idea if i can nap on it again," she yawned with a playful smirk, even if she was pretty serious. finding cats and stuff like this was...beneath her. it was fun at first, but....yeah, nah. pretty boy could handle it without her.

While Bellamy was bregrudingly seething at the task ahead of him, he was suddenly called towards by someone with a voice he didn't recognize. When he saw who'd call him, his eyes were filled with the greatest confusion that he could ever exhibit. She was just... Odd. She certainly wasn't the type of person Bellamy would normally associate with, then again those people were often nobility. She didn't seem to have a noble bone in her body. She had a slums vibe to her, which probably meant she was from Shara. Her messy hair and semi-exposed body conveyed to Bellamy that she didn't care about her looks. [break][break]
Bellamy was finally able to understand who this lady was when she mentioned something about being his partner. He did remember someone in the registry referencing someone he had to work with. Though, he thought nothing of it. He figured that he could tackle catching a cat on his own, so he tried to politely decline the offer of help. After being forced to have a partner, Bellamy decided to adventure around the city by himself. If his partner found him while they moved, then he'd go from there. [break][break]
"Interesting," Bellamy noted as he grabbed his chin and contemplated the matter. "No, no. You got the right idea the first time. Maybe luring the cat with something would draw it out." Though, clearly not milk since the feline featured woman would probably drink it all. "Come, young miss. Now is not the time for napping. We shall fetch tuna from the store. Since this was your incredibly intelligent idea, I feel that it is only right if you pay for the tuna." It certainly had nothing to do with the fact that Bellamy was being cheap right about now and didn't want to spend his money. [break][break]
"Can you move on your own or would you like me to carry you to the store?" Bellamy normally wouldn't dare touch people who were dirty like this street cat before him, but he was willing to this once. Honestly, he'd do anything to get out of paying for something right about now. Money was scarce in this world, meaning that it was hard out here for a pimp. Some people just needed to save up on their coins.
Staring at the man for several seconds, elysia gave a slow blink. he - what? what was he talking about? a nap sounded way better than that. surprisingly, it was the notion of the plan being her 'intelligent' one that got the stubborn woman to go along with helping. it was the fact that she wouldn't have to walk. not only that, but, something about this man was...bothering her to an almost extreme degree...
was his hair a wig? there was no way a man would have such long hair - it rivaled her own at this point. yeah, it had to be a wig...but, if he was secretly bald underneath, that'd be a rather gross image. then again, that could've easily been able to shock an enemy; abrupt, shiny baldness. a hidden, but impressive tactic.
"yeah, yeah," she yawned softly. "pick me up, c'mon." she wasted little time to cutting to exactly what it was she wanted. given how, in the past, she'd once spent a weeks worth of quests on...questionable items, she wasn't against spending money. thankfully, over the past years, she'd grown far more reliable with it, but, unlike some people, she wasn't cheap. imagine that, a cheap noble.

Good, she accepted the offer. It would be a problem if this cantankerous feline wasn't willing to work with him. He couldn't give most of the work to her otherwise. Now, since he complimented her and she was willing to be carried by him, Bellamy was able to use her as his servant. "Well then, come here," Bellamy coo'd sweetly as he walked up to the girl. He placed his hands behind her and hoisted her up as if she was his very own princess, with he being the knight carrying her off to a magical and happy land. Though, little did she know, Bellamy was actually an evil magician that disguised himself as a knight. [break][break]
Hehehe Bellamy thought to himself. She doesn't even realize that she's become my personal servant! Hehehe, such a foolish girl! Never underestimate the ingenuousness of a nobleman to place someone in servitude!!! As he thought this, he continued to carefully carry her as if he was her servant. Did he recognize the irony? Obviously not. [break][break]
"By the way, miss... I don't believe you've told me your name? You may call me Bellamy. I am born from the Grayberry family, a noble family closely connected to the Royal Family. And you?" Bellamy's herculean arms were able to hold the girl easily. He didn't struggle at all with carrying her. A lot of people glanced their way, curious with what was going on, if the girl was hurt and the man was carrying her to a hospital, or if this was some type of strange public display of affection. Though, Bellamy didn't see it that way. In his mind, these people were looking at him as he made this girl his servant. And thus, he felt a swell of pride waft through his entire being. [break][break]
Kekeke, Bellamy thought. Feast your eyes, morsels. For this shall be my new servant! This shall be my first mark of royalty!!! Just as he thought that, he kindly stepped down a few steps so that he wouldn't shake her roughly as he still carried her in his arms.
there was definitely something odd about being carried. it was...nice. most people generally didn't bother with her. quite tall for a woman, she was light but just extremely...rough? tomboyish? the thought of doing such a lady-like gesture likely never crossed their mind. and the was fine - she wasn't a delicate butterfly. usually, she carried people, not the other way around. still, elysia was more than content to enjoy this little 'treat', utterly and completely oblivious to...whatever it was the man had 'cooking' within his mind. hopefully, he'd realize just how shitty of a servant the slayer was one way or another.
still...there was something very important she still had to do...and she couldn't just do it without a little bit of a warm up. she wouldn't go in rough, not this time, at least.
and so, her head rested on his chest whilst a hand gripped his shoulder whilst another let her slender fingertips lightly stroke at his hair. golden eyes looked up at him through a few strands of her silvery hair, an oddly gentle look within her eyes. was she...seducing him? "you're...warm and comfy, bellamy. can i take a nap here?" those words were true enough. but, to be fair, anywhere she could fit was more than enough for her to fall asleep.
"elysia vadala. nothin' else is all that special." she supposed she could've let him know about her dragon parent, the infamous lightning dragon, but, why? she'd bring it up if she needed to. and right now, she didn't.
"hey hey," she called out, eyes once again fixating themselves on his face as she leaned closer - he could surely feel the warmth of her breath on his face. the hand that gripped his shoulder soon found itself on his cheek, gently gripping it. 'anchored on...now just...'
and then, she pulled. and she pulled hard. the hand that was tangled within his long strands of hair suddenly yanked them with enough force to easily pull them clean out. to her surprise, no wig came falling off. lips pursed in a slight 'o', marvel danced in her eyes. "oh. so its real. who woulda thought..."

Hoho~ What was this? The girl was getting very close to him. With her hands running through his hair and her head on his chest, Bellamy was sure that she was flirting with him. Was Bellamy surprised? He had a lot of girls in the past throw themselves at his feet for his pure noble status. His looks also afforded him the luxury of many women, even after he left his family and home. Being popular with the opposite sex was just a natural thing for Bellamy! Though, this was perfect. Now that Bellamy knew that she had an attraction for him, he could use that for his benefit to get more stuff out of her.[break][break]
"Yes yes, little dove. Sleep as much as you want for as long as you want. I shall carry you for however long that is needed" or until he used her for all she was worth! She had an appealing look that even Bellamy would fall for if he was all that interested in dating. He was certain that he could use this somnolent girl for a plethora of conning schemes.[break][break]
She eventually gave her name, though. Elysia Vadala. Why did that name sound so familiar to Bellamy? Did he recognize it from anywhere before? He could've sworn he heard stories about a person named Elysia, though none came to mind at this particular moment.[break][break]
Bah, what did that matter? She was to be his pet, after all! What was the need for Bellamy to memorize her name, or the stories associated with it? Pretty soon he would be calling her nothing but "you" or "the help". Learning her name now wouldn't matter in the slightest for Bellamy later.[break][break]
"Hey, hey," Elysia chimed in, prompting Bellamy to turn his attention to her.[break][break]
The proud nobleman coo'd, "What is it, my wonderful serva- my wonderful new friend? Is there anything I could help you wi- YEOWCH" As Bellamy readied to ask Elysia a question, he suddenly felt a tug at his hair that nearly ripped all of his follicles out of his scalp. Bellamy stared at Elysia with sheer surprise and anguish. The nobleman didn't know what to say. He was so flabbergasted that someone would actually pull his hair that he couldn't imagine any words that would fit this situation. Right when Bellamy thought that he was close to being driven over the edge, he looked down at the woman's hand, the same hand that was used to rip out his hair, and saw that a large wad of black fur was attached to her fingers.[break][break]
Bellamy released something that sounded like a gasp and a sorrowful cry from his lips. He dropped the girl from his arms and fell to his knees- his legs too weak with shock to allow him to stand. The world around him went completely dark and silent, depression slowly setting in as he moved one of his fingers to the back of his head and noticed... There was a bald spot.[break][break]
"WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" Bellamy shouted with complete desolation.
Abruptly, the woman was dropped, her form hitting the ground none too gently and it provoked a grunt from her. God - she should've just stayed on the ground and continued her nap if this was gonna happen. "ow," she complained, despite making no move to get up from where she laid. she stared at the shouting male with a blank expression, her gaze slowly flickering to the handful of hair she held. lips slowly pursed into an, 'oh' as she realized what had happened. or rather, what she had done. to be fair, she didn't mean to pull so hard but...ah, she got a little bit too excited in the whole, 'wig thing'.
"...we can glue it back on?" she soon suggested with a tilt of her head, pausing once more before continuing as the 'ideas' began to flow. slowly getting onto her knees to crawl closer to her, a grin grew wide on her lips. "or i can just pluck off all the rest of your hair. even it out a bit, y'know?" and she was serious, which was the cruel thing. before she learned to harness lightning properly, she had plenty of patches of missing hair. it never really bothered her though - hair grew back. it wasn't as though she ripped off an arm or something. "...you'll be fine, it'll grow back." the woman ended up stating with a yawn. her back settled against the wall, the stares of various passerby doing little to faze her as she nestled into herself. quest temporarily forgotten about, she was hunkering down for another 'power nap', it seemed.

The tears fell from Bellamy's eyes and he couldn't stop them. His hair had been ruined by this vixen- this cretin of a woman who didn't feel the least bit sorry or upset for what she had done. Instead of apologizing for everything and at least looking the tiniest bit guilty, this female offered to GLUE back Bellamy's HAIR. Even when Bellamy thought that she couldn't get any worse, she somehow managed to surprise him by offering to pluck out the rest of his hair. [break][break]
"WHAT is WRONG with you?!" Bellamy exclaimed as he gently placed his ripped hair into hand, holding it like precious gems that would break if he dropped them. "It'll grow back?" Bellamy repeated her words with a hint of a sneer. "It'll grow back?! You do understand that you ripped out a PATCH of my HAIR right? I NOW CURRENTLY HAVE A BALDSPOT ON MY HEAD RIGHT NOW!" Bellamy had never been so angry with a woman in his life. She was worse than the help that would rip his clothes when they cleaned it for him. She needed to right this wrong. Bellamy would never forgive her if she didn't. [break][break]
"Money..." Bellamy said under his breath. Though, he knew that the woman wouldn't hear him, so he spoke up louder. "Money! You owe me for this mess you committed. MONEY is what I need. I won't be satisfied until I'm given compensation. GIVE ME MONEY!" Was Bellamy using this situation to get some money off of this chick? Maybe. However, he was in this right to take her cash this time, unlike the other times he stole from people. She had wronged him, and now she would literally pay to make it right. [break][break]
He held out his hand to the girl, expecting her to cough up as much cash as she could. "WELL?!" Bellamy shouted. "I'M WAITING!"
the silvery haired woman blinked once, and then twice - looking slightly confused as to why this grown man, this 'supposed noble' was bawling his eyes out over a bit of hair. there was plenty of magic or potions that could help him, yea? hell, she could've asked enlil if he knew some sort of enchantment spell if it were that serious. and so, with a rather unsympathetic stare, she gave the screaming man her undivided attention...until she found cleaning her ear to be far more interesting.
scratching at her ear with a nail and barely paying attention, it was only when he held out his hand, screaming at her for money did she, finally, give him back her attention. eyes narrowing slightly, she paused...before she started laughing. "i'm broke!" she stated loudly with a wide smirk. "oi, are you still upset? geez..." a hand began to idly scratch at the back of her head once more, as she settled back against the wall. "if this is how nobles really all act...i'm not surprised they have stupid, dumbass quests like looking for lost cats. must be nice to have the time of day to cry for lost cats and pulled out hair, ya?" her voice turned far more cutting and cynical, far different than the almost childish, playful tone she had a few minutes ago.
she leaned back, arms behind her head as she rested against the wall. if she could tone out a dragon roaring down her ears in attempt to scold her, a bit of yelling wouldn't faze her in the least. she could probably get a good nap in too.

This wench. How DARE she pretend like the situation didn't even matter. Bellamy was a rich noble. Harming him could result in some serious time in jail! Did she care? No. She had just plucked the hair off of an angel and she acted like she didn't give a single fuck. People like these really pissed Bellamy off. [break][break]
"Have the time? I'm dirt poor too! I can't afford to buy any magic that'll allow me to regrow my hair. For a few months I'm going to be walking around with a BALD spot because of you!" Bellamy was so seething in rage that his teeth began grinding against each other. He had a huge, throbbing knot on his forehead that grew bigger as he spoke to this insufferable woman. [break][break]
"You can at least have the gal to say-" Suddenly, Bellamy paused for a moment. He stared at Elysia as he gave a look that said something just donned on him. Quickly, Bellamy cleared his throat with a loud Ahem. "Excuse my behavior. I don't know what came over me. You're right, a piece of hair is just hair. I can grow it. After all, what's a hair to friendship? And... Well... I'd like to consider us to have a building a friendship Elysia. I don't have many friends as is, and having a powerful looking person as you as my friend might not be that bad. How about we bury the hatchet Elysia Vadala? Let's be friends." [break][break]
It was probably very surprising to see Bellamy suddenly turn on her from angry to agreeable. To show that he meant well, Bellamy extended his hand out to Elysia for a shake. "Let us be friends. I apologize for my yelling earlier. If I recall correctly, I was carrying you because you seemed a little fatigued. Such a terrible thing really. People should be able to nap as much as they like to keep their energy restored. If you're still up for it, I can lift you in my arms again and carry you while you sleep. And this time, I won't be so rude as to drop you."
