Issil arrived in the wastelands and landed softly. His wings folded with a snapping noise against his body behind him. He took a quick glance around. Case's words echoed in his memory and he pouted. Who was he here to meet? Apparently it was a 'she' but that was as much as he knew.

There was a low growl and something was moving, low to the ground, in the thick bushes. It was moving around Issil in a circle slowly, blue eyes being the only thing standing out.

Issil's ears twitched. He heard something rustling through the bushes but not in a clumsy way. Whatever it was knew how to be silent... He just had one up on him or her. He knew how to hear things.
"Whoever you are, come out. I know you're here." Presence was not easily hidden.

The thing growled and then moved in a blur. It didn't cover as much distance as most creatures might have before pouncing, but when it jumped at him it went much farther than any of those creatures. The brown scaled reptile came flying at him.

Letting out a scream of surprise, Issil found himself pounced by the brown creature. He was unsure what to make of it so his claws slid out. He would be ready to defend himself if he needed to. Still there was no time to think when it collided with him. Even reactions did not help.

She, as it was a she, growled as she had Issil pinned down. Both clawed feet on his chest. Yet she heald her talons back from piercing his flesh.
The raptor looked him over quickly. "You are big but very furry... Not for eating." She stood and stepped off of Issil.

Issil stood up, his eyes meeting hers confidently. He relaxed a bit more now that talons were not threatening to pierce him. His claws slid back into hiding and he couldn't help but wonder if this was who Case had told him to meet. He thought of the white gem tucked away safely. Would she confirm it for him or just let him attempt diplomacy or whatever on his own?

That is her Issil, that is Talon. She comes from a time long ago.
Talon blinked, watching Issil back. "I am speaking your tongue yes? I'm not going to eat you furry thing, you can run off now."

He made a note of it mentally. He could tell she was from a long time ago by the way she spoke. He shook his head. "Talon, my name is not 'furry thing' it is Issil. I am not going to run off. In fact you are who I was sent to find." Never one to be cryptic he had told her straight out. He hoped it didn't backfire. After all her talons looked fatal and he did not wish to encounter them again so closely.

(The way she talks... And the fact she's a dinosaur)
Talon blinked, looking back at him, and then moved in a flurry. She had him pinned to the ground again, her eyes glarring into his. "Who sent you? Growl?" She hissed.

(that too xD)
Issil's eyes widened in fear. Out of reaction his wings had flared but not before she pushed him the ground. Now they were rather uncomfortably positioned but that was the absolute least of his worries. "N-n-no! I don't know who Growl even is. I was sent by Case!" Damn it. I should have figured this should happen.

"I do not know a Case." She growled. "If you are pulling tricks..."
Show her the emerald! Case was shouting in his head.

He pulled out the gem that Case had given him. "Look! Just look!" I hope you know what you're doing, Case... I'd rather not get gutted by a velociraptor.

Talon let out something that kinda sounded like a squeak and then fell over backwards. She rolled and managed to get right side up on her feet again. She was wide eyed and backed away from Issil. "That gem... Its aura is like the Master Emerald."

Issil nodded. "Yes." He took this chance to get back up onto his feet. He folded his wings more comfortably- or rather less painfully. After all it was not pleasant to have them crushed under you when they were half extended. Phew... thanks for the save, Case.
