"I guess that's a sign of a good potential knight. Knights aren't supposed to want for glory or something like that, but I'm still learning so I guess it's ok." Eris chirped holding still to allow Alpha to gently lift her as she watching him work with rapt blue eyes. Settling down onto her pale creamy white belly as she waited for him to be done. Springing up to her feet once more when beckoned. Hopefully the little Gigimon's energy would see her in good stead with the journey ahead.
"I'm ready!" She called out rushing to the door little feet flying as she danced by the entrance in her excitement. Practically running circles around Alpha once he would approach. Though when the pair would slip outside she would pause blinking at the bright light as she eyed the ramshackle western town around her with wide eyes.
"Woah~ It's like something out of one of Moon's storybooks!" Eris exclaimed softly before eyeing the digimon around them and leaning a little closer into Alpha's side.

Alpha looked at the excited little Eris as he smiled walking to her, only to be run around as he laughed a bit at how excited she was about their little quest getting Alpha excited too. They stepped outside while he kept watching her excited reactions making Alpha smile as he looked around a bit and pulled out the map from his infini-store checking the map and checking where they should head right now.
"Hmm okay well let's start moving Eris so we can start our first quest together." He smiled and started walking towards where Valley of Dragons was, thinking about their route to Terminus while starting to walk towards the Folder Desert to actually start the little adventure of the duo, making sure Eris could keep up with her little legs. "Do you want me to carry you or be on my head instead, if it's too hard to keep up Eris."
Alpha was a bit worried if she really could keep up with Alpha when he walked faster. He stopped for a bit waiting for Eris' answer to see if she wanted to be in his arms or on top of his head instead.

"I can keep up for now! Don't worry I won't slow us down!" Eris promised even if she had to take three steps for each of Alpha's one. Still the little Gigimon zipped along at a decent pace managing to keep time with the silver Dorumon at least until they neared the edge of Rustport where the hardpacked earth gradually turned into shifting sand. Leaving the little In-Training Digimon lagging behind a little, but not far enough to prove worrisome.
If anything Eris seemed to take this as a challenge and wiggled forward belly against the sand almost as much as she pumped her little legs slithering, running, and sliding after Alpha like a crocodile through mud albeit perhaps lease graceful as she thrashed her tail spraying sand into the air as they neared the top of the first dune. One thing was certain though as the sun slowly rose into the sky baking the golden sands with it's heat, it was only going to get hotter and they had a long way to go.

Alpha nodded at the small gigimon coming after him from behind and smiled to himself finding it quite interesting how pumped up she was for just a small adventure, maybe because it was her first quest? Alpha couldn't wrap his head around it so he just decided to forget about it while stepping onto the hot sands of Folder Desert once again looking into the distance and remembering how difficult it was to travel in the desert, how hot it could get and how cold it would get during the night, as he kept walking forward Alpha pulled out something from his infini-store resembling rags before putting it on himself to protect him from the sun. He also pulled a slightly smaller rags he prepared in hurry for Eris as he stopped turned around to her and gave her the rags.
"These will protect you from the sun as much as possible, sadly i didn't have much time to prepare you a proper one but it should still work quite well. If you have any problems tell me and i can modify it a bit at the oasis we are gonna stop close to the middle of the desert." He smiled and started walking forward slowly to not leave the little gigimon behind even though she assured she could keep up, Alpha just wanted to make sure she did.

Eris would need a little help with the rags. Lacking the opposable thumbs to tie them around her head and little form properly, but with a bit of assistance from Alpha they would fit in place over her ears easily. "Thanks Alpha!" She'd chirped nipping affectionately at his hands as he helped her a low purr rumbling up from her throat to reassure him she meant no ill will with her nibbles.
"So how far is the Oasis? Are we gonna have to camp in the desert tonight? Why is your fur silver?" Eris inquired peppering him with questions as she struggled through the sands just a little bit behind the silver Dorumon. Having to step high or wiggle on her belly to get over particularly challenging dunes. Though in the hot sun her nearly brimming excitement was slowly beginning to cool off as the Gigimon wore herself down chasing after him.

Alpha looked back at Eris, which was tryign her best o keep up with Alphas pace who kept walking faster and faster towards the oasis to get there as fast as possible and hopefully not get caught in a digital sandstorm."No problem at all Eris, i gotta make sure you are safe and all while delivering you to your dad!. Also the way to Oasis, depending on how fast we are and what happens at the desert might be between a 5 days and 2 weeks. So if u think you can't keep up or are too tired just tell me so i can carry you. The faster we get to Oasis the safer we also are from sandstorms so we should try to hurry up as much as we can!"
Alpha kept walking fast towards while ignoring Eris' second question about his fur for a while before sighing "I do not know either, ever since i digivolved into a dorumon it's been like this, maybe it's just my fate to be different from others somehow. Though...i will make sure to make everyone pay who discriminate or treat others badly for how they look and who they are, i just need enough power to fulfill my ideals, no matter what i have to pay in return..."

Alpha's words left Eris silent and thoughtful for a long time. The pair lapsing into silent with the quiet only disturbed by the sound of shifting sand beneath their feet as they walked, climbed, and slid their way across the dunes towards the oasis. The little Gigimon wasn't certain about such things as revenge, having been wronged to such an extent to ever have even considered such a concept. She was however, familiar with fear and discrimination and the fear of such. A fear that made her Father insist she wear a holosuit lest she be singled out and culled by Luminas or face further discrimination for there mere color of her scales and the typing that came with them. For while Guilmon were 'tolerated' virus types the same could not be said for Black Guilmon.
"I think it's pretty~" Eris murmured her voice cutting through the quiet.
"You're coat color that is," She quickly clarified, "I think it's pretty."
"It makes you look like a knight in shining armor." The little Gigimon chirped offering Alpha a broad toothy grin.

Alpha kept walking while they both were silent, trying to get as far as they could before possibly having to stop during the night and rest. He looked back at Eris now and then, making sure she was keeping up and wasn't going to get lost. He yawned slightly while walking forward before slowly looking up at the sun. Just as he was about to say something he heard Eris talk, making him smile a bit at the compliment from little gigimon. "Hmm thank you Eris, don't worry i won't be keeping myself down because of others opinions. Even if they made me who i am, there shall be no forgiveness for those who discriminate and hurt others for their ego and fun."
Alpha sighed and shook his head a bit before stopping and sitting down before looking at Eris. "Let's take a small break here, eat a bit and drink before continuing our journey okay?" Alpha opened up his infini-store pulling out a ration and drinks preparing it for Eris too, though hopefully she didn't have anything she didn't like eating in the rations.

"Ok Alpha." Eris nodded settling down into the sands and shifting to half bury herself beneath the grains in an attempt to reach cooler ground and avoid the sweltering sun. Shifting occasionally to try to huddle in Alpha's shadow as he poured them drinks and drew out the rations. The little Gigimon eating and drinking sparingly for worry that they might run out if she got too greedy.
"Don't let your anger at them hurt you though ok Alpha?" Eris murmured, "My Dad always says revenge is a double edged sword." The Gigimon explained not voicing her thoughts that she worried the Dorumon was already an unbalanced weapon too sharp yet to know how to wield his fury and who's edge would only cut himself for now. Leaving her to ponder who had cruelly forged him into such a blade and not seen fit to gift him a way to sheath it.
It seemed like such a waste. Like a one ill-forged weapons her Father would be brought at times. The Medieval Dukemon scoffing at the sight of them, only to comment that while the design was flawed the metal held so much more potential in the hands of those who knew how to remake it. Eris hated waste.

Alpha sat there relaxing a bit, enjoying the food and the company while looking at Eris, listening to her properly instead of just ignoring her. Alpha nodded slightly, he knew she was definitely right but he couldn't contain the fury inside him properly. He pinched himself and laughed a bit before nodding at Eris. "You are right, i shouldn't be controlled by my own rage, i'll use it instead to give me more motivation to fulfill my own ideals and make it so nobody gets discriminated by others or get treated badly by those who hold the power in their hands. None should feel left out for who they are or what they look like."
Alpha looked up at the sun and closed his eyes before looking down and opening his eyes with renewed passion to make it fair for everyone, give everyone the justice he didn't get in his earlier years. Alpha finished his food and drank his drink completely before getting up and stretching a bit to get his muscles warmed up for walking in the desert again. "Are you ready to continue our little journey, milady?" He joked around a bit as she told him that she looked like a knight earlier.

Eris wasn't certain of the feasibility of such a dream. One could never completely annihilate evil anymore then you could plot out the sun. Still it was a good dream. A warm dream. Something to strive for and like that the little Gigimon decided she'd help him with it. Shifting to her feet Eris shook herself sending waves of sand scattering in all directions as she stretched. Her initial energy was still subdued, but the sun would begin to sink towards the horizon soon and she remembered reading something about how most desert predators were at their most active during the night. The last thing she wanted to do was get them into a fight.
"I'm ready!" She chirped padding forward to wind herself about the Duramon's ankles before trotting ahead a little and waiting for him to take the lead. Her little tail waggling happily as she beamed up at him with renewed excitement.

Alpha got up and started walking fast, towards Eris and picked her up while passing by her as they really did have to hurry. So Alpha stepped up a notch and threw Eris up for a bit before he stuffed his rags quickly into the infini-store before digivolving into his armor mode, Greymon X. He did this knowing it would drain his stamina but also a lot faster than in just his rookie form. He catches Eris before he started running quite fast towards the Oasis as fast as he could while looking down slightly at Eris. "Sorry for doing this without telling you Eris, we should hurry as much as possible before resting. Anyways let us hurry up Eris."
He smiled and kept running fast towards the Oasis while holding the little gigimon in his arms while he did so. "Does your dad teach everyone how to smith or is he picky about it?" Alpha asked still a bit worried about if her dad would teach him how to smith.

Eris couldn't help, but let out a soft startled 'Eep' at suddenly finding herself tossed into the air. Beneath her Alpha's form shifted with a shimmer of light, growing, changing, and becoming solid once more as she found herself caught in far larger claws her eyes wide and her form shaking slightly from surprise. "Woah~" The little Gigimon whispered gaze riveted on Alpha's face so caught up in the sudden light show that she barely caught the tail end of his apology.
"No it's ok! That was so cool!" She quickly assured him scrambling over herself to ensure that the Dorumon, now Greymon X, realized she held no hard feelings.
"Um well my Dad is kinda picky about it. He says not everyone has the eye for it. Some will only ever make things, but few can create them even less remake them. I guess it's the difference between a craftsmen and a master maybe. I've never seen him take an apprentice save myself, but I'm his daughter so I don't count." Eris explained fidgeting a little in Alpha's grip.
"But I think he'd give you a chance." The little Gigimon murmured eyeing Alpha with careful consideration.

Alpha laughed a little bit at Eris' reaction to his actions, mainly the digivolution as he kept running fast as much as he could, the closer they could get to oasis the better it would be for them. He kept looking around too to make sure there wasn't any other digimons nearby. After confirming there wasn't any other digimons close by he started slowing down as the sun was slowly setting down in the horizon. "Hmm well i can always try to just ask him when i get to meet him, rest is just my luck and if i have any talent for being a smith." He smiled and put Eris down on a sand hill before turning back into the silver Dorumon once again.
He moved around on the hill after pulling out a big tent from his infini-store and started setting it up so the duo would have a place to sleep where the cold desert wind wouldn't affect them too much. After setting it up Alpha looked at Eris. "So i set this up so we could sleep without getting too cold, it's also quite big so it can fit both us quite well, unless you don't wanna be in the same tent i can sleep outside Eris."

"I've never slept in a tent before though it looks plenty big enough for the both of us. Sides I don't want you to sleep in the cold Alpha." Eris replied even as she watched Alpha set up the tent. Even going so far as to attempt to try to help where she could. Not that without hands she could really do much other then hold stuff in her teeth for him. Once it was done however, the Gigimon was quick to wiggle their way inside. Exploring every corner of the tent as the sniffed at the material doing a full circle before settling down for the night.
Technically there was plenty of room in the tent especially with a small rookie and an in-training digimon. Eris and Alpha easily could have slept on opposite sides with plenty of room to spare, but as the two curled up for the night it wouldn't be long into the early hours of the dark before the Dorumon would rouse to find the little Gigimon fast asleep pressed into his side. Her face burrowed against his warm fur utilizing one of his paws as a pillow her little tail wrapped around herself like a security blanket.
