Arne couldn't handle simply waiting around, and kept himself busy taking up whatever odd job he could in Eulene as the days passed. Despite that, his mind couldn't help but think of the events that took place. That abomination of a dragon... how they clearly stood no chance against it... how Silver abandoned them, essentially leaving for them for dead, without a single word.
While having dinner one day, he thought about what he would do next. It didn't feel right for him to leave this group so soon after joining them, but at the same time... he couldn't just sit and wait for some dragons that might never come. Fortunately, he wouldn't have to, as Aqua invited the entire group to travel with her to The Frontier. "You can count me in. I've always wanted to head that way if I ever had the opportunity." After stating this, his attention is drawn towards Shin who seemingly just appeared next to Rion... only to leave randomly after saying a few words. Both him and Hien stared in confusion as he left. "What the...? You guy's sure know some... interesting people."
Arne watched as Aqua fiddled with the visor from her armor, not really sure what she was trying to accomplish... only for it to emit a horrible screech, which caused Hien to growl angrily at it, followed by the voice of a man. While still not sure about this device, he takes the opportunity to introduce himself.
"Hello. My name is Arne." following Arne's lead, Hien started chirping at the device. "And that would be my wyvern partner, Hien. I'm an adventurer, and travel from town to town trying to find whatever jobs I can or anything that interests me. I haven't really known your daughter for very long, so I don't think I really deserve much thanks."

With the spider retreating, Arne quickly turned his sights on the dragon monstrosity. He had no idea how he was gonna fight it, but he was sure as hell gonna do everything he could. However, any half baked plan he could have come up with in that short time quickly changed as soon as its next assault began. He had nothing to do against its aerial barrage. The lightning he could probably endure, but the fire and acid were a different story, with much more burning involved.
As soon as Terra got the basic shelter up, Arne and Hien quickly took cover underneath it. "Leaving sounds good to me. Anything to not get melted by... flaming acid lightning." Hien nods and chirps in agreement. Before any plan for escape could be made, the dragon's attack halted. Arne let out a sigh of relief, but his moment of repose gets interrupted by the return of the blighted spider. Arne got out from the shelter, gripping his halberd, and being quickly followed by Hien. "And I thought this thing was ugly before." After the strange yelling guy hurled the rock at it, Arne charged in, the blade of his halberd crackling with electricity. He took a swing at the beast's face, aiming right for its eyes.

After hitting the ground, Arne rolled away from the massive spider... a smart move as its fangs just barely miss him, scraping against his armor. As he stands up, the beast has already made its way back underground... and his attention is captured by something else. Silver changing into a dragon and... leaving? Arne stares dumbfounded... she just up and left, leaving the rest of the group to fend for themselves. "Yeah... sure. Ok. Great. That's... fine." he groans as he draws another javelin, waiting for the spider to reappear.
Hien continues to burn away at the webs, stopping briefly to let out a annoyed chirp at this stranger yelling at him. He yelps in surprise as the spider resurfaces near him and goes right for Terra. The young wyvern circles around, getting behind the spider, and unleashes a stream of flame onto its back. At the same time, Arne throws his next javelin, aiming for one of the beast's injured legs.

Arne is taken aback as things quickly went to hell... black fire surrounding them, some twisted abomination of a dragon attacking them from above while some giant spider makes things difficult for them on the ground. He's never seen a situation go so wrong so quickly.
He glances down and Hien and then nods his head over towards Terra. The small wyvern quickly takes flight and dashes over to her. He starts to circle around her, using his flame breath to burn away and the webs and helping clear a path.
In order for those two to make any proper progress, though, Arne needed to distract that spider. he draws his halberd and starts charging it with lightning. With a gust of wind, he leaps into the air and quickly goes into a dive, aiming to land on top of the beast and jam his weapon into its back.

Arne was a bit shaken up coming out of the other end of the portal, it being a method of travel is was far from being used to. He shakes his head and lightly smacks his forehead to regain his senses before following along with the group, Hien sticking close by giving off a concerned chirp every once in a while.
Arne, however, remained quite as they traveled... constantly looking around and observing their surroundings. This is far different from what he was used to, but his experience caused him to instinctively treats this like any other hunt. Taking in what's around him, seeing anything that could be advantageous, and being weary of possible ambushes. Though, encountering the dragon snapped him out of this for a moment. He reflexively went into a defensive stance while Hien yelped in surprise and hid behind him. Once the dragon revealed himself to not be a threat, he relaxed and returned to observing.
As they neared the clearing and spotted the cloaked figure, he immediately crouched low to the ground Hien quickly landing right beside him. "This seems like our quarry." he softly mutters to herself.
Following Aqua's plan, he stuck close to Silver, Rion, and Enfurnus as they moved around to the cover of the logs... Hien scampering behind the group, trying to stick to the ground. Once reaching their cover, he draws one of his javelins and keeps his eyes on his target, waiting for his moment to strike.
Or, he would, if his attention wasn't pulled away by a sudden burst of flame, his eyes now on the person casually walking up to the scythe wielding figure. "Who the hell is that? He one of the creepy guy's friends?" He whispers to the others. Not soon after, Terra began her attack, and Arne starts to charge the javelin with lightning. "Guess it doesn't really matter now."

Arne sits and listens to what this new person, Celestrus, has to tell them. Arch Mages? Dragons? He's never had to deal with anything like that. He starts feeling a bit worried about what exactly he signed up for. "How do you even begin to stop something like that?", he softly mutters to himself.
Hien whines quietly, sharing Arne's concerns over the situation. Arne gently pats his partner's head... attempting to relax him.
"Setting up a trap or our own ambush is probably the best option we have here. I know I just joined you guys, but something like this... there's no way we could take it head on. Trying that sounds like a suicide mission. But if we can catch them off guard, we might have a chance."
He looks over at Hien... who's mood is starting to improve, bring a slight smile to his face. "If we do this... you can count me in. I said I'd travel with your group, and I'm gonna be stick to my word on that."

In a sudden moment of realization, Arne soon sees himself for what he truly is... nothing more than a fictional character created for the amusement of others. He falls to his knees and lets out a scream of pure terror... his voice echoing throughout the void of text that makes up his world. This revelation will forever shake him to his very core, as he will never be able to see anything the same ever again.
Meanwhile, Hien chases some birds around... trying to eat one of them.

Arne nods listening to Rion. "I see. Not sure why you would want to stay hidden like that, but I'm sure you have your reasons. I won't pry." though he seems a bit more confused with the rather brief explanation of the crystals. "Runs in the family? First time I'm hearing about anything like this."
The conversation quickly shifts over to Arne's fight with Yung. "heh, thanks. Wasn't really sure if I was gonna be able to pull though near the end there. Though, I don't think my magic is really anything that special. Well, except for..."
He looks over to Hien, who has floated off away from the others, and is now playfully splashing about in his own little section of the pool.
"Whatever it is that makes it so I can understand that little guy. I guess we both have something we can't really explain."

"It's nice to meet you, Silver." Arne smiles at her as Hien takes the jerky from her hand. "And I'm sure Hien feels the same."
It's not long before everyone gathers and begins talking about their next move. Arne simply remains quiet and listens, feeling like he wouldn't be able to add my to the conversation being new to group. That is until the idea of the bathhouse is brought up. "That's not a bad idea. Some last minute relaxation before heading out sounds pretty good." Hien chirps in agreement.
After reaching the bathhouse and making sure payment is taken care of, Arne heads off to the men's changing room but is stopped by one of the employees.
"I'm sorry, sir. But pets aren't allowed in the bathing area. Your... uhh…" he take a look over at Hien, clearly uncertain about the wyvern "... dragon? Thing... is going have to wait outside."
Hien, clearly upset starts angrily chirping and growling at the employee, who quickly backs up... eyes wide with fear at the now upset creature. Arne easily plucks Hien from the air and starts to petting him, trying to calm him. "Easy there, pal. He doesn't make the rules. No reason to get so angry with him."
The employee clears his throat and speaks up, a bit shakily. "O-on second thought. I think we're making an exception today. Feel free to take... that with you." He mutters under his breath "And away from me... please."
Hien calms down, and chirps happily... "Oh, that's great." Arne pulls out a bit of money and hands it over "Sorry for his outburst there." The two head off into the changing room, as the employee lets out a sigh of relief.
Arne quickly changes out of his armor and into his swimwear, and enters the bathing area... joining Rino. He enters the water and takes a seat, letting out a contented sigh, and soon followed by Hien... who purrs softly as he floats on top of the water.
"Hey, you're... Rino, right? That was a hell of match you had against Yung last night. Especially when all those weird crystals started popping up."

Arne walks down into into the lobby, Hien following closely behind. He takes a quick around, seeing only one other person there. While he didn't recognize her at first, he quickly remembered seeing her at the clinic last night. Realizing she must be part of the group, he walks over and sits next to her... "Hey, you're part of Dyna's group, right? I'm Arne. I'm gonna be traveling with you for a while."
Hien, lands on Arne's lap... looking up at the woman and chirping.
"And this here is Hien." Arne pats the small Wyvern's head... causing him to purr. "Sorry for not introducing myself earlier, but... with everything that was going on. I'm sure you understand. Anyway, I'm looking forward to traveling with all of you."

Arne didn't talk to anyone for the rest of the night... choosing to stay focused on Hien, who quietly drifts off to sleep. Time passes, and he eventually leaves the clinic along with the rest of the group, heading back to the hotel. Returning to his room, he places Hien down on the bed and examines his wound once again... something that awakens the small wyvern, slightly squeaking in pain and giving Arne an annoyed growl.
"Oh. Sorry. Didn't mean to wake you there, pal. Just wanted to see how you were doing."
Hien chips questioningly.
"It's not too bad."" He walks over to his belongs and digs through his pack... pulling out a bottle of red liquid. "If you drink this, you'll be back in action by morning."
Hien yips at Arne... once again, clearly annoyed.
"Yeah, yeah. I know. It's the only one we have... and it was really expensive. But you need it. Now quit complaining and drink."
Arne remove the stopper from the bottle and hands it to Hien... who takes hold of it in his mouth and tilts his head back, drinking the contents and placing the bottle on a nightstand after finishing. Arne falls over onto the bed with a groan.
"This was one hell of a day, wasn't it? Guess our travels are gonna be a lot more interesting from this point on."
Hien walks over to Arne... and curls up next to him with a purr. It's not long before the two end up falling asleep.
The next morning...
Arne starts getting into his armor... having already packed up... he looks over at Hien, still asleep.
"Alright... time to get up!"
He slams his fist down onto the bed... causing Hien to immediately wake up and take flight with a yip. He looks over towards Arne, and growls.
"We need to get going... can't have you be sleeping all day."
After finishing with his armor, he hangs his halberd and javelins from his back... Hien making various noises in annoyance.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's get going, alright?"
He pats Hien's head... and the wyvern's attitude seems to improve, giving a happy chirp.

Just to even it out, I'll sign up.
I like me some JoJo, various Nintendo whatsits, Final Fantasy, Tabeltop/D&D stuff. And if you want to go the super easy route, which is fine, you can just get me some dice or coffee.
