Exodus says *he chuckled a little and smirked some at her reaction* No need to be jealous, Rae. *he said calmly before jerking his chin toward the arena* And a somewhat violent one. I think you'll enjoy it. *he teased lightly before leading her through the streets quickly to the arena, set up almost like a futuristic greek coloseum however with adaptations that were rather curious; pillars stood throughout the arena and several dragons--actually in their dragon forms--were suiting up with harnesses while humanoid figures, probably elves or something similar, since they clearly weren't human--stood beside the various dragons. They wore various colors like jerseys to match their dragon's coloration, and donned a weapon of their choice as well as gloves that looked like something a ball-player would wear. Ex lead her to the front row of seats, the stadium full though he seemed content to just stand by the railing* Would you like to watch one round and see what it's all about? The name of the game is simple; if you hit the ground you're out, and there are no rules save from that you have to be the last pair in the air to win and you can't lose your other half. Which is obvious for those that can't fly. *he gave a shrug*

Exodus says *while Ex only lifted an eyebrow toward Rae at her reaction, the dragoness gave a light huff and crossed her arms, looking none-too-pleased with her. Rather than replying, though, she simply ignored her and turned back to Ex, offering another smile* "Your parents will be pleased to hear you're back! You plan on going to see them, right?" *Ex gave a shrug and draped an arm over Rae's shoulders* Since that's where we'll probably end up staying, I imagine we'll run into them at some point. It isn't an nessisary plan, though. *he gave a nod to her and then continued on, looking around the city before flashing a grin as he spotted what looked to be a massive arena* Hey Rae, how do you feel about a little game?

Exodus says *he feigned a look of hurt and put a hand over his heart, glancing toward her with his eyebrows lifted* Ouch, that was my pride... *he shook his head a little at that; pride. Figured he didn't have much of that at this point in his life. All the same, he kept walking calmly toward the castle, ignoring much of the city until someone slowed down on the street and stopped completely, staring at him intently. Ex stopped and glanced over at the dragon--a girl with long, dark chocolate hair and striking silver eyes with all the looks expected of their kind--and widened his eyes* "Ex?" *the girl ran over and nothing short of tackled him, sending the both of them crashing to the ground and earning her a glare from the dragon prince* "What happened to your eyes?" *she continued before he gently moved her off to the side and stood up, brushing himself off with a sideways smile* Hi Zel. And I acquired some new contacts is all. Figured I needed a change... *he didn't get to say much more before she turned her attention to Rae, sticking a hand out eagerly with a smile* "Hi! Who are you? One of Ex's friends? Haven't seen you around before." *he looked over at Rae from behind the dragoness, apparently named Zel, and gave a shrug*

Exodus says *he chuckled and gave a small nod, shrugging his shoulders a little to adjust his wings. While they would always remain tattered, at least they weren't constantly painful at this point. Maybe the good thing about all of this was that, hopefully, no one would recognize him* It is indeed, my home. This was shortly after the disappearance of the two princes of the northern kingdom--this one. Still years before the war broke out, so everything is peaceful, but there's no chance of me running into myself. *he frowned lightly* That wouldn't end very well I am sure. *shrugging that off, he walked forward and motioned for her to follow. The street that they were walking on was white as well, made of some type of crome-type material though it wasn't certain what it was exactly* You're not going to think I'm so "gorgeous" anymore though... *he said with a mock frown, looking over at her in feigned disappointment* I'm pretty average for a dragon. *he flashed a grin then and turned ahead as the city life began to get closer to them. They were dressed as humans might have been, but the styles varied. Some were classy, others rock-styled, and any hue under the sun. They all, however, had the slightly pointed ears that Ex did and were more perfect than any human but rougher than any god or angel. The in-between race, much like elves but less lith. Ex stood out still because of the combination of his pale complexion with the raven colored hair he despised so much, and of course because of his ice-colored eyes. Not to mention he was dressed like the evil warrior he was, black jacket, chained gloves, black jeans, combat boots and all*

Exodus says *he only lifted his hands in a submissive motion with a smirk at her mocking of his question of needing a coat. He knew well enough she didn't, but he had a strange way of giving hints. While she was gone, he merely glanced around the place to take in details, noting the letter on the desk before she returned and he offered a faint smile* Ah, allow me to show you. *he gave a quick wink before waving his hand for darkness to surround them, twisting about in a sort of thick mist before engulfing them completely, making the world dark before fading out once more. Flecks of white broke through the dark until it disappated completely, leaving them standing in a swirl of snowflakes. The air was crisp and clean, and the sky above was such a clear light blue that it rivaled a painting. He gave her a nod before turning to look in a seemingly random direction, though, once that vision was followed a sight awaited that was certainly an awe-inspiring one. A castle of sparkling glass, or was it diamond?, stood out from the snow and yet blended in in a way that was uncanny. The city around it was one that mixed with it and somehow didn't, ice caves sheltering much of it from the gusts of the tundra. The buildings were futuristic, gorgeous in their architecture and also very strange in that beauty. They were all painted pale colors; pastels or even simply white, and all this lead to the entire place looking, from a distance, like a shimmering piece of ice or some sort of crystalline gem with that castle at it's center. The city itself was sprawling, rivaling the size of places like Boston* Any guess as to where we are?
