I'm curently doing 2 rp's and watching something sooo my comments will be late.

Alrighty!

Griff and Mel, you ready to start or should we wait?

(Kole: I wanna see Tiluna! x) It must be hard though to be managing one RP and attending another... I hope Tiluna will be able to make an appearance! Also, I'm almost done with my part of the design trade :3)

That's alright, @Death :P

We've got everyone here! I think this is the most people we've had on one RP. @Griff when the time comes, do you mind if I start? I've got a lot of interactions to resolve, specifically with @Shadowpikaboo, @Turtlee, @Mademoisette, and you.

@Death That's alright

Alright, I'm ready to start if everyone else is.

(That's fine with me! ^^)

(I'm ready. ^v^)

(Alrighty let's kick this off, @Aggron you can start if you want to.)

@Cheese

Dun Dun DUNNNN

Heheheheh

(Ok, I'm going to start with @Shadow, then @Turtlee, then @Mademoinette and @Griff. Just set the scenes when you two are ready.){The air settles at the battle site. The draugr ranks frozen, their eyes still glowing intensely from under the ice. From the edges of the ice circle, the eyes of approaching draugrs can be seen. However, instead of attacking Nanashi, they hold their ground just outside the battlefield. From a gap in the ice wall walks a single human draugr, unarmed and cloaked in robes. The same one that visited Lennox the previous night. It calmly walks toward Nanashi.}

The Captain looking at a map he stop for a second to look up at the Nikita and Gemini "Can I help you with something?" he said in a rough tone.

"We're looking for a dragon named BlackIce. Do you know him?" Nitika asked the captain, forcing herself to be brave.

( @Mademoinette Ok, sure!){Meanwhile, at Solaris, Ardens and Azureus arrive at the palace with Mac. Ardens angrily paces back and forth in front of Mac while Azureus speaks to him.}Azureus"Mac, sweetie, you know that you're not supposed to be out in the forest this late. What happened? Did you simply lose track of the time?"{Ardens stops and speaks in an annoyed tone.}Ardens"Yes, Azureus, he lost track of the time. While speaking with an outcast that I specifically told him to stay away from!"
Azureus"Ardens, why are you so worked up? I'm sure that whoever this outcast was, they were very nice, right Mac?"

Nanashi noticed the Draugr stoping their assault, he stood ready in the middle of the ice-covered area as the one Draugr was coming towards him he noticed it was unarmed. //...seems like they may what to talk now// as he ignores the pain in his shoulder

Noxaura opened her eyes groggily. She noticed a set of claws tapping on the stone floor of her cave that belonged to the prince. At the moment he was glaring at her with irritation. "I told you this would happen if you didn't sleep, but you never listen." Despite the anger Nox could hear the worry in his voice.

Macgyver stared at them both, a little discoraged by Ardens tone. His tail twitched, and he pushed back the urge to be annoyed.
"I didn't mean to talk to them, they approached me." He said in a slightly annoyed tone.
"And I don't go waltzing in the woods for no reason." The tip of his tail caught flame just like it normally did when he got upset.

"And YOU wouldn't want me to hurt anyone, would you?" He said slightly accusingly to Ardens.

{The cloaked draugr stops right in front of Nanashi.}"Hello, nameless one. Sorry about attacking you and all, but we thought you came to pick fights with Chrysos. Judging by your mastery in ice magic, you're either of Aquilam or formerly from them. As you might not be aware, relations between the tribes are uneasy at best. The last thing this land needs is another war. It's already seen it's fair share. You must be confused about all this. If you wish to hear the truth, follow me. It is not safe to speak here."{The Draugr begins to walk towards the gap.}

Maldius grins at Scarlet, well pleased. "I suppose I'll leave you to your scheming, then."

Alfred "Black Ice? thats a weird name? are you looking for him or something?"
The Captain stopped what he was doing "Alfred go and make yourself useful and do something, well I'll talk to the ladies!"
Alfred saluted the captain playfully " aye aye sir!" he ran and jumped over the railing and a loud crash happened below "I'm OK!"
The Captain shook his head "that boy going to break his neck one of these days...well back to business yes I have done business with Black Ice before..."

( @Formerly Allure Can Doraon see through illusion magic? Because Maldius was disguised as Yssarion during his last conversation with Mac and Doraon XP )

Noxaura sat up and looked around, everything was the same as before. "How long was it this time?" Erwen looked slightly frustrated by the question. "A day Nox, you shouldn't be acting like this is no big deal! You're lucky I was nearby!" Erwen's feathers were puffed out displaying his emotions even more.

{Ardens narrows his eyes at Mac.}Ardens"Don't take that tone with me! You know very well what would happen if your curse hurt anyone! You're lucky that I happened to be close by during your episode!" {Azureus gives a concerned look.}Azureus"Episode? What episode? Did you get hurt, Mac?"
Ardens"He lost control again. I hamdled it though. Mac's fine."

( @Mademoinette That's alright :p )

Nitika nervously watched in the direction Alfred ran, "What a crazy dragon..." She said under her breath.
She then turned back to the captain.
"Would you know anything about his whereabouts now?" She questioned.

(*Handled)

Nanashi //so they're concerned about another war...// he folded his ears back and followed he stay alert just in case if it was a trap, but he was willing to hear what the draugr had to say

{Meanwhile, at Pherial's palace, the silence is broken by loud metal footsteps. From the doorway walks a human draugr, covered head-to-toe in heavy armour. Its eyes glow vibrantly in the darkness.}"Queen Pherial. Are you awake, dear?"

Scarlett "If you need to contact me ues the echo medallion" she waved at him "I wish you many beautiful deaths!" she smilled at him //know I have to plan my own fun!//

Nox stood and looked at Erwen with a reassuring look. "I'm fine, I promise." She stretched and walked to the enterance were the prince stood. He gave her a skeptical look before rolling his eyes. "Just remember to get some sleep." With that he flew out of Nox's cave and towards the forest.

Macgyver spun around to face them, his eyes full of anger. Mac had never, ever gotton mad with anyone on his own account. "You don't understand anything!" He roared "I went into the woods so I would not hurt anyone! Thats why I am gone for days at a time! But everyone ALWAYS runs into me!"

He stood to his full height, smoke billowing from his nostrils. He streched his wings out to their full length, and glared at Ardens.

"YOU ARE BEGINING TO SOUND LIKE MY FATHER!" He roared. His voice was loud enough to be heard around the kingdom.
Mac began to breathe heavily, looking sinister. But he saw the looks on their faces. His wings drooped, and the flame on his tail stopped burning. He stepped away from them, tears sliding down his eyes. He had never upset anyone in his life.

"I-i'm sorry..."

{As the cloaked draugr made its way through the ice gap, the other draugrs backed away, allowing them to pass comfortably. As they leave, some dragon draugrs advance on the battle site and began to defrost the frozen draugrs. The cloaked draugr leads Nanashi to a cave. Moonlight illuminates the interior through an opening in the ceiling. The cloaked draugr stops and speaks.}"This should be far enough. So, what do you want to know, nameless one?

(Ahh, sorry for disappearing! I need to catch up on what's going on.)

(Just to let you all know, Macgyver's father mentally abused him when he was little, before he escaped to Aqualam)

{Ardens' expression changes to one of genuine surprise while Azureus stares speechless, wearing a hurt look.//That wasn't Mac! His curse is getting the better of him! I have to act quickly.//Ardens thinks worriedly.}Azureus"Oh, Mac.........don't apologize. It's not fair. It's not fair for dragons to ask you to forfiet your personal freedoms over something you're not in control of."{Tears begin to roll down Azureus' cheeks.}

Maldius nods to his assassin accquaintance and turns to leave, walking slowly. //Now, she's the kind of dragon I like. Hmmm, I'll have to be sure to tell Ivy about her, if I see her again. I wonder how she'd react...// he muses with a grin.
A sudden thought comes to his mind, however, and his grin fades. //... After all these hundreds of years... I wonder if anything's changed.// The dark purple dragon pauses, looking up at the sky. It looks as though it might rain. //I don't have to move quickly, and there's nothing else I need to do tonight. I might as well pay a visit.// Maldius begins meandering slowly through the woods, each footstep landing with a faint thump.

Noxaura could hear the angry outburst from the palace. Completely disregarding her past exhaustion she flew from her cave and headed towards the source.

Erwen quickly landed in the forest and walked away from the capital, brooding on recent events.

The Captain scratching his chin with his good claw " he cames here for supplies he often buys from me. he was alway an odd fellow..." Alfred shouts "Is that that crazy guy?!" Captain "ALFRED IM GOING TO STUFF SEAGULL IN THOSE EARS OF YOUR IF YOU DONT STOP EAVEDROPPING!"
Alfred "yes sir!"
Captain "as I was saying befor i got disrupted...
But this time he was different I happen to come across an unusual item while back, He kept going on and on about finally finding it. he demanded that i sell it to him, and i did for well over the piece of junk was worth. last i saw of him he was heading towards the mountains" he pounted in the direction.
Geminil side "that back the way we came from"

{As Erwen flies through the forest, two glowing blue eyes watch him} ???:"It's showtime!" {From the silence, The voice of Avatil rises through the trees.}"Erwen? Erwen!"{The voice originates from deep within a cave.}
{In Pherial's chambers, the armoured draugr continues to speak}"Yes, my beloved, it's me. I have returned to warn you of what is to come! Things are not well in Aquilam. You must solidify peace with Aquilam! If another war breaks out, no one will survive. They will all end up like me! A cursed, restless spirit unable to find peace!"

( @Shadow- That made me laugh XD )

Mac tried to wipe his tears away, but he couldn't. "N-no I shouldn't of gone against any orders... I don't want to hurt anyone..." //Definitely not Nox or the king... Or Azurus herself...//

(I'm really late and not sure what's going on, but I might try to drop in at some point.)

(I have to go can i ues online?)

Erwen froze and whipped around in the direction he heard the voice. "Mother?" He looked around with a child-like hopefulness. Quickly he began running to where he thought the voice was coming from.

Noxaura landed outside the palace and peeked inside to see Ardens, Mac, and Azureus.

Nitika was interested, "What kind of item did he want?"
She looked back at Gemini, "This sounds really... Odd." She said with a concerned look.

(Hey @Radiant! :D )

( @Shadow That's fine ^^)

( turtle that Alfred has only just begun! Hahah xp)

(( @Shadow if you'd like to :)
Hey @Radient! ))

(Hey Lilly!

I don't want to interfere with everything that's happening by jumping in right now.)

Macgyver heard very light footsteps and turned to see Nox. He yelped in suprise, catching his balance. "Oh- Er- Hello Nox! Nice day isn't it?" He wiped away his tears, but his fake cheerfulness was not good.

(Hey Radiant! Late greeting is late. XD)

Nanashi "you said you are concerned about a war between the two tribes? Why would a necromancer care about such things? " (he doesn't know who it is.ps messaging on the go sorry )

Noxaura walked up to Mac and gave him a concerned look. "Are you okay?" She noticed the slight tension and gave everyone a slightly confused look. "Oh I hope I didn't intrude on anything!"

{Azureus hugs Mac.}Azureus"It's ok.Someday soon, we'll find a way to rid you of your curse. But, until then, we'll always be here for you."{Azureus lets go.}"Oh! I nearly forgot! Some visitors came from Chrysos earlier! They left something for you! I'll be right back!"{Azureus leaves, smiling at Nox on her way out.}Ardens"Mac, I'm sorry I yelled at you. I know you're under a lot of pressure. But listen, there's something I need to tell you,..."{He stops when he notices Nox}

(Not entirely sure what to do with my chars right now, unless you want to go through with that draugr horde idea, @Aggron :p )

Ivy was wandering alone through the forest, not heading in any particular direction but simply exploring. //It's been a while since I saw my home tribe... maybe I should pay Chrysos a visit,// she mused idly.

The Captain " it was a odd tablet of some kind but the words on it, I have never seen before...but I could tell it was no good will came of it"
Gemini had a emotionless face

"Oh! No, you are alright Nox! Its nice to er- see you."

Mac turned to Ardens and nodded to what he said. He gave Ardens a 'tell me about it later' look.

Nitika was even more concerned now, she looked at Gemini.
"...It sounds like it could be some sort of magic item...
I don't know much about magic... But you do, right?" She paused for a moment, tension built up in her throat, "D-do you know what it could be?"

( @Mademoinette Yes, human. Ardens wants to save the king's body for when he really needs it.){The armoured draugr gives a sad look.}"I know, my dear. You're already doing the best you can. Chrysos is not the trouble, it's Aquilam. There are radicals there that wish for bloodshed. They will gather and try to start conflict. You must be ready, and, no matter what they do, do not declare war! You must resolve everything with diplomacy! I'm sorry that I cannot rejoin you. I can't let our people see the condition of my actual body. it would be too much. But, I can still help you. Should Aquilam try a surprise attack, they will be stopped by my men. Also, keep our daughter away from the forests at night. An old enemy of Chrysos has returned. Maelstrom the destroyer!"

(I'm gonna go, I'll read up on the RP later. There's just nowhere for me to jump in.)

( @Radiant Aww, alright :( )

(Alright @Mademoinette)

(Alright then, bye @Radient and Mel)

Noxaura lowered her head. "Ardens, if you need to speak to Mac I can leave. I didn't mean to interrupt anything." She avoiding looking at anyone directly and kept her gaze at the ground.

( @Lilly Later.){Deep within a cave, the voice gets louder.}"Erwen! Can you hear me?"{The voice is distraught}
{The cloaked draugr gives Nanashi a confused look.}"Do you think that because we are a product of forbidden magic that our intentions are dark as well? Dark things can be used for pure intentions just as pure things can be used for dark intentions. The Necromancer simply wants to prevent war in order to spare the innocents that would die as a result. And do not think that the Necromancer forced us to do his bidding against our will. Each and every one of us chose this."

( @Aggron Alright :p

Maldius: *teleports a bucket of KFC to himself and eats chicken while sipping tea*)

Erwen paused and looked around. "I can hear you! Where are you?!" Erwen wraped his tail around himself as best as he could, waiting for some kind of response.

( @Mel Awwww, ok.){Ardens looks at Noxaura.}"No, it's fine. This concerns you too.{He turns back to Mac.}"Mac, do you remember when your curse broke in the forest today? I did that. Nox here can do it too. I know these are troubling times for you, but, please, next time you go out, bring one of us with you. That way, there won't be any chance of your curse getting the better of you."

Gemini look at her "he never told me much about things like that, but what I do know is depending on the words it could be for some kind of spell or even to find something, but with out seen it myself I would not know, but if Chrysos dragon can since something for it, it must be powerful or what it's connected to is"

{The voice speaks in a more distraught tone.}"I'm in this cave! I'm trapped!"

(Hmmm... @Fade, are you still around?)

Nox's ears drooped. "I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you Mac." She looked up at Ardens. "I'm sorry I couldn't keep a better watch on Mac...I left him alone."

Erwen turned and ran directly towards the source this time, disregarding any fear he had. He could see the cave and slowed his pace. "Are you here?"

Macgyver looked at them, a little confused. "O-ok. I will."

//So that's what happened. But... Only dark magic or very powerful restoration... Oh well- I shouldn't look too much into it, I mean- They want to help.//

Nitika glanced at the Captain for a moment, "Thank you so much."
She looked at Gemini, worried,
"If you don't mind me asking... What kind of a dragon is BlackIce?" She paused nervously.
"W-why would he want something like that...?"

Nanashi "then we have both miss judge one another" he did a bow "you spoke of a war do you know what or who would cause this?"

( @lilly KFC!)

Macgyver went pink, hearing her say that. "N-no its ok, don't beat yourself up about it. Ill be ok"

{Ardens calmly addresses Nox}"It's ok. you've only just started."
{Deep from inside the cave, Avatil's Draugr lies on the ground, impaled and pinned by a fallen stalagtite. The cave is lit fom a crack in the ceiling.}"Yes, in here, my son!"

(Ahh, sorry @Lilly! I've been a bit distracted working on design trades and the sort. xP And I get your reference up there. XD)

Maldius strolls through the forset and emerges at the river again. Hearing what he assumes is another dragon, he uses his illusion magic to disguise himself as Yssarion and scans the area, noticing Arrowstone. //Might as well strike up a conversation...// the great ice dragon thinks as he approaches him. "Out for a late night snack, are we?"

( @Fade Ahh, it's alright XP I was thinking M&M could meet up and Maldius could tell Maelstrom about Scarlet. Maybe after? :p )

(*after Maldius gets through with Arrowstone, that is :p )

( @Fade I'm also glad you get the reference X3 )

Noxaura nodded, trying to convince herself. She gave a faint smile to Mac. "If you ever need anything at all, don't hesitate to come to me." She looked back to Ardens. "I won't let this happen again."

Erwen slowly entered the cave and stiffled a gasp when he saw Avatil's undead body.

(That would be fine! I should be around long enough.)

(Lilly: And don't forget the treadmill!)

Gemini look at Nikita "It might have to do with...my mother " she look at her broken locket " she... died when I was lade" she look away from them

"Yssarion. Who are you, friend?" the ice dragon asks, sitting down beside Arrowstone.

( @Fade Alright :)

I thought of that, too XP )

(Im gonna go paint, Ill check in every 5-10 minutes)

(Sorry I will have to keep my com short)

(Lilly: Err, turns out, I might be going to [another] graduation party in about an hour, so my time here will be very limited... -_- Hopefully M&M's meeting will work out!)

"Oh my..." Nitika bit her lip, regretting the question she'd asked, "I'm so sorry." She said to Gemini.

( @Fade Aww, alright. :/ Hopefully it will!)

Ardens:"Good to hear."{Azureus re-enters the room with one of Sherry's blankets.}"Here Mac!"{She hands Mac the blanket.}"A dragonette named sherry made this and was handing them out earlier. She wanted me to give you this."
{Avatil's draugr lifts its head.}"Erwen? It's really you?! Come closer, my son, let me see you. It's been too long!{Her draugr says this while choking back tears.}

"Nice to meet you, Arrowstone." Yssarion studies Arrowstone's appearance, noticing the vial of blood hanging around his neck. "What are you doing out at this time of night?"

( @Lilly: Hopefully I won't have to go. I hardly know the person who is graduating, after all. xP

Erwen looked down at the damaged body with mixed horror and sorrow. Hesitantly he approched his mother's dragr. "What happened to you?!" Tears were forming in the corner of his eyes.

Macgyver smiled at the blanket. "Awwww! For me? Wow." He had never received much presents, as he mostly burned them with exitement. But Mac handled it with care, feeling it between his claws.

{Avatil closes her glowing eyes.}"Death came calling. I was on my way to mediate a border dispute, when I thought I heard someone in trouble, calling from within this cave. However, when I investigated, it turned out to be a wounded deer. As I turned to leave, a swarm of fruitbats rapidly exited the cave. I suppose one of them must have hit this stalagtite. The next thing I knew, I was dead. I've been trapped here, body and soul ever since. I'm.....I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you..........I'm sorry!"{She covers her face and begins to sob.}

"I see. That could make any dragon hungry." //Except for me, I haven't felt hungry in a hundred years.// Yssarion pauses a moment, looking at the river. //I am SO BORED. I should kill this guy, just for the laughs.// He looks at Arrowstone again, observing the putrid stench of death and decay coming from him. //On the other talon, Malestrom might want him for the rebellion... but on the third talon, I could deal with all our enemies myself, so we don't absolutely need him.// He looks up at the starry sky for a moment. //I suppose I ought to speak with my partner first...//

Erwen was at a loss of words. He looked down at Avatil with an expressionless look. "You've been here this entire time, and no one found you? Not even father?"

{Avatil, with her face still covered, speaks muffledly.}"No. Only other trapped spirits have been my company. And they have told me much."{She uncovers her face and lifts her head, to reveal that she was not crying tears. Rather, she was crying blood.}"It pains me to hear how you and your father drifted apart. Not a single day goes by without you two having an argument. Why do you fight with him over Chrysos? Did you think that they had killed me? Is that why you, Crowley, and Ambrilla always pick fights at the border?"

Gemini look at Nikita not sure what to say she never had someone fill sorry for her before. "I...thank you... we should go through "

(Sorry for the late reply I had to do something T.T)

(AND THEN IT TURNS OUT THE BLANKET IS A BOMB AND FIRE LIZARD GO BYE BYE)

{Ardens, seeing how everything seems to have calmed down, speaks to the group.}"Well, I've had a long day, so, I'm going home. I'll see you all tomorrow."{Ardens begins to leave.//I should check on the draugrs. I felt quite a few souls return in such a short period of time.//}
{Meanwhile, the cloaked draugr adresses Nanashi.}"Well, if you have no more questions, do you mind if I ask some of my own?"

( @Turtle It is a bomb filled with any dragon's greatest weakness-love, happiness, and pure sunshine!)

Erwen recoils slightly at the sight. But quickly he began growing frustrated. "Of course I did! You went to the border and were never seen again!" His claws scraped against the cave floor. "Father thought the same as I did when he sent the search parties."

Nox admired the blanket. "A dragonette made that?" She looked at Azureus for the confirmation.

( @Turtlee No, it was a SMALLPOX BLANKET!!! Dun, Dun Duuuuuuuuuuuuun!)

Nitika nodded to Gemini, "Yes, but...
It will be difficult to catch up to him on foot... At least, for me."
She looked at her wingless backside.

( @Turtle not da blanket bomb!)

{Azureus smiles warmly and nods at Nox}"Yes, she was the sweetest dragonette you could ever meet."{She then turns to Ardens.}"Goodbye, Ardens. sleep well."
{Avatil gives a saddened look.}"Well, I'm dissappointed to hear that. You should know that they had nothing to do with this. My death was completely accidental. Please, make ammends with your father, and let go of your hate towards Chrysos. Please, Erwen, do this for me!"

Nanashi // either they do not know or they don't want to tell me...but perhaps their questions might work out for the both of us// he was in thought
"ask your questions if you wish to do so" his eyes glow in the Moonlight
(Sorry I like eyes :s)

( @Mademoinette Y'know, the king of Chrysos is still waiting for his Queen's reply.)

Yssarion notices Arrowstone's silence and rises to a standing position again. "Well, I suppose I'll be leaving. It was nice meeting you, Arrowstone."

( @Shadow Eyes can be very useful for describing mood.){The cloaked draugr smiles.}"Very well. As I heard from the battle, you came from the frozen wastes. Why did you come here to Lecra? And Who is Lucy? Why does she care for you so much? After all, she did save your hide back there."

Erwen glared at the draugr. "You've been dead all this time. You have no idea what's been happening except from rumors." He growled at the thought of being 'chummy' with his father again.

Gemini "that will be a problem..." she was in deep thought
"I CAN HELP! " Alfred shouted across ship. Gemini stumbled form his voice breaking her concentration, as he landed next to them "I can help! Really I can!" He smiled at them

( @Mademoinette She did. Then, the draugr replied, telling her about Maelstrom.)"That cannot be allowed. I can help, but the people cannot be allowed to see me. Tommorrow night, I will return in my true body. Then, we shall both talk to our daughter. Perhaps we can change her mind before your time comes. Bring her here and wait for me when night falls. The fate both tribes debends on this."{The draugr begins to back away towards the window.}

"Um, ok..." Nitika glanced at Gemini, knowing she wouldn't like this.
"How exactly do you plan to help us?" She asked in an almost unsure tone.

(Lilly: Hooray, I'll be staying!)

Maelstrom stood on a stone ledge overlooking the vast, moon-washed mountain range, and beyond them lay the lush landscapes of Aquilam. However, the cyborg dragon was not enjoying the view, as his back was turned and his good eye was narrowed in concentration. Around his neck rested a collar made from the same material as his robotic limbs, and planted in the gold was a fine, purple gem which radiated dimly with a magical aura. When Maelstrom gave a command in his head, the jewel began to glow, and suddenly his appearance demorphed and shifted into a very normal-looking fire dragon. Maelstrom's once gold and yellow hide had become a dull red and orange thanks to Maldius' illusion magic, and his once stocky structure was now sleek and tame.
//Not bad,// the cyborg thought as he inspected himself. Suddenly experimental, he let out a small roar, but it sounded completely different from his deep, hollow voice. Instead, it was handsome and gentle.

(fyi I'm working on a simple ref of the disguise that Maelstrom will use most. It should be finished today or tomorrow, hopefully.)

{Drailen's draugr undoes the window drapes and stands on the edge.}"Goodbye, my love. We shall be re-united soon."{The draugr falls out the window and turns to ash, leaving no evidence of his presence in the room.}

( @Fade Yay! :D )

(Random thought: maybe Maldius could use Maelstrom's magic collar as a sort of tracking device, as well?)

Yssarion spreads his wings and flies into the night sky. //Now I just have to find old Metal Head. I suppose my little trip can wait 'til after.//

( @Mademoinette This is some pretty deep stuff. We need more Sherry up in here!)

{Avatil's expression changes to vehement anger. She stands up along the stalagtite, and begins to yell down at Erwen.}"How DARE you take that tone with me! I know far more than you assume! Including your little plot against you father! {Her jaw greusomely unhinges. She begins to speak in a voice nearly identical to his.}"I think it's time for my father to step down....."{Her jaw violently snaps back into place}"If another war breaks out, all of Lecra will join my accursed fate! Is that what you want? The endless suffering of everyone you love?{The draugr breathes heavilly, blood streaming down in cheeks.}

( @Mademoinette Like if u cri every tim. T_T)

(Heeey maybe we could bring in Blackice's monsters today?)

( @Lilly [sorry for the late reply] That's a good idea! Maybe that's how he'll locate Maelstrom when he's "distracted" later on. >:3)

Erwen looked at her with horror. "We can't live together anymore. Chrysos is a threat to Aquilam!" He paused noticing the tears streaks down his face.

( @Fade Shhh, let's not give away too much of our sekret planz XP )

(Asking some really personal questions there ;p)

Nanashi turned his head " I might have been raised from the Frozen wastes...but I am not from there..." there was a pause then He turned and look at the Draugr " Lucy...was a Exile, but she was hatched in it, her great grandfather committed a crime and was exiled, and his descendants suffer the consequences, but most in her clan was like this...but they choose to live differently then the other clan in the waste..." he look away "She has save my life more than one...she the one who believed I was more then a dog...that i had a purpose to make a difference,.... but I learn that lesson too late"

( @Lilly: Pff, I spoke in code, okay?? *stiffly sips tea to cool self down*)

( @Fade I suppose I can pardon you, this time... *sips tea coldly*

XD )

(Lilly: The puuuuuuuuns.... X'D)

Yssarion traces the fragment of his power held inside Maelstrom's collar and eventually reaches the area where Maelstrom is perched. //I see he's finally made a disguise for himself.// he thinks, examining his partner's appearance, //Still not as good as mine, though.// The ice dragon lands near Maelstrom.

{Avatil, wearing a look of anger mixed with greif, continues her harangue.}"You're wrong, Erwen! Pherial wants nothing more than peace between both tribes! But, she won't act until your father makes the descision to end all hostilities! You.......you don't understand........I can't bear to think of you and your father being stuck in between life and death like me......I can't! Make peace with your father and Chrysos, NOW! Or I will expose your plot against the both of them!"

{The cloaked draugr listens to Nanashi intently.}"I see. What happened to her? One of the draugrs during the battle said that you had killed him in life. Did you kill her too?"

Gemini glared at him
Alfred smiled at Nikita "that's easy I'll carry you!! You don't look that heavy I mean unless if you way more than what you look...anhh I think it should be fine I carry heavy stuff ALL THE TIME! just check out these muscles!" he starts flexing his arms. "See I can move mountains with these babies!" He smiled
Gemini had a not amused look "can you even Pick Up a rock with thoughts stick arms?"
Alfred "oh Stick and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me!" He said in a sing-song tune

(Goodbye, @Cheese!)

Maelstrom hid a jump of surprise when Maldius in Yssarion's guise landed on the stony plateau that he had been practicing on. //How did he find me?// he pondered, ignorant of the dark dragon's ability to track his collar. "How goes it with the search?" the disguised cyborg queried instead, but in an obnoxiously mellow tone. The illusion hid the grimace on his face in reaction to his own voice. //It will take me a while to get used to this.//

(See ya @Lugia!)

Erwen's face returned to emotionless. "My father already knows, but he can't do anything. He doesn't have enough time." He turned and began to exit the cave.

(Aw okay bye @Cheese!)

(Im not doing anything atm, ill step out, and check once and awhile)

(Bye Turtle and Mel as well)

(I love Alfred so much... QuQ)

"Hmm..." Nitika had an indecisive expression. She looked at Gemini apologetically.
"Alright." She said to Alfred.

(Haha thanks @Fade ^-^)

(See ya you two! Wow, three members left nearly all at once... it's going to seem quiet now.)

(Bye @Mademoinette and @Lugia!){Inside his Necromacer lair, Ardens puts on the Necromancer armour and prepares to venture out into the night.}( @Lilly He's alone, if you want to do the thing we discussed now.)

{Avatil gives a look of confusion.}"What do you mean not enough time?"

Maldius lets his disguise fade, his scales becoming dark purple once again. "I've found exactly the person we need. She's already plotting the staged assassination." He holds out the echo medallion for Maelstrom to behold. "My little assassin friend has left me with this medallion. Using it, I can contact her whenever I need." Maldius looks up at his partner, slight amusement in his dark yellow eyes. "I see you've had a nice makeover, hmm?"

Erwen's look changed briefly to one of sorrow again. "He's sick. But he's kept it hidden from the tribe, he didn't want anyone to be scared."

( @Aggron With Zygoren? Awesome!)

A ghostly voice calls out from behind Ardens, "Wait... I need to speak with you."

{Avatil's face changed to one of true concern.}"Sick? With what? And the healers can't help?"( @Griff is dis fo real m80? Or is Erwen lying? @Lilly yes, bring on the spirit!)

{Ardens stops when he hears this voice. //Another lost spirit who wishes to help my cause? Interesting.// Ardens turns and faces the spectre.}"Hello. Who were you in life, and what do you want of me?"

Erwen looked at the ground. "I'm friends with a healer, she told me my father called for her. She said there was something wrong after speaking with him."
(Why would Erwen lie about a terminal condition?)

Maelstrom eyed the medallion that Maldius produced before him with vague curiosity before replying to the dragon's comment. "'Nice' is not the word for it," he remarked. "I intentionally designed this disguise to look bland, unattractive, and something that won't stick in one's memory. You, on the other talon, decided to make yourself appear bright and flashy to satisfy your vain desires." Without waiting for a reply from the purple dragon, Maelstrom asked, "So what kind of dragon is this assassin?"

{Avatil continues to stand.}"What did she tell you, Erwen? Tell me everything!"

(Just wondering, @Griffin, do the dragons in the picture above represent the tribes or two characters from the RP?)

A bright yellow and neon blue ghost of a dragon stands before Ardens, remorse and anxiety seem to radiate from him. "In life, my name was Zyoren, I am a former Count of Aquilam... Necromancer... for what purpose have you been raising the dead? Light, or dark?"

Erwen's stoic expression fell. "You're dead...there's nothing you can do even if I told you."

( @Fade The dragons represent the tribes, good observing skills :p)

Maldius huffs in annoyance at his partner's remark. "She's a proffesional, stealthy and deadly. She even managed to sneak up on me without my noticing. She's happy just to be of service to me. Have you just been gawking at the sky this whole time?" He narrows his eyes.

(*Zygoren)

//She sounds deceptive,// Maelstrom noted. //One that cannot be trusted... like Maldius.// he realized. His disguise hid the wary look on the cyborg's face. //I must constantly keep an eye on him if I am to work alongside him....// "And who are you to be shoving your maw into another's business as if they were your underling?" he hissed, the ears on his fire dragon disguise pinning back.

{Ardens replies calmly.}"Light, of course. My days of raising for the forces of darkness are gone for good. Now, I seek to save this land, and all of its inhabitants."
{Avatil drops back to her lying position.}"Then there's no time to waste. You must make your peace with him, before he joins me. You have quite the responsibility ahead of you.{Avatil reaches out and lifts Erwen's head} Chrysos is not your enemy. Drop your hatred. For the sake of everyone you will soon call your subjects, make your peace."

"I'm bored," Maldius replies, "I was hoping you had made some enemies so I could rip them apart for my enjoyment. Instead, while I was searching for our assassin, getting into arguments with idiots and killing other idiots, it seems like you've been stargazing this whole time!" He growls in annoyance.

Erwen felt more tears roll down his face. "But it's not my hatred alone, so many others hated Chrysos before me and will continue to hate. I won't be strong enough to protect them all from the bloodshed that'll result."

Nanashi hesitated not wanting to speak of it, but something told him he should.
He side cool air as he turned his head " it was long ago... I was found by exile off the Coast of the Frozen waste, the exile that found me only saw One purpose for me and that was to be there tool. They taught how to fight, but their leader wanted power and the others clans territory, this is how it is in the waste clan seeking power over the other, he wanted The territory over Lucy's Clans so he set a trap and I was the bait. Lucy found me wounded and nursed me back to health she taught me things I've never know before...and some I did not understand until it was too late... I had one job to do...to gain their trust, so they would let there guard down, and I would let the one who raised me in. I did not expect the impact her and the others had on me..to teach me kindness...but I betrayed them with my Master's command , they came and begin to kill them I found Lucy and try to get her to flee, but she was Brave, my master found us he told me to kill her...I could not... I tried to fight him. he said" dog should only have one master, and if it can't obey it gets put down". but he was to strong and went for the final blow,... but Lucy got in the way...as she was dieing in my arms, he said "you should have listen like a good dog, on your going to die like the others and like this (not a good word )" with what strength I have left...I kill them all...I was the only one...this was over 65 years ago"

(Sorry for the light novel :s)

Zygoren seems rather relieved at that. "Then, I beg you to bring back my body for me... it's an urgent matter..."

Gemini side "your really going with us, and what if he drop you remember that hammer right?"

Alfred " that was with my hands, if she Just climb on my back, I'm less likely to drop you if you're up there! Do you get motion sickness? Because if you do need to throw up I have a bag, just don't do it on my back that might will probably be a pain to clean up . Oh I don't have to many tubes on my back but just watch out for the ones behind my head" as he pointed them out "you can't miss them they're glowing yellow stuff"

Maelstrom growled in return. "You may see me idly gazing at the stars all innocent-like, but I am actually carefully meditating on the plans and future of our rebellion. When running a revolution like this, you can't just do things the way you feel like it and spend your time doing pleasureful things, like..." he snorted at the thought. "Slaughtering dragons. If I were you, I would stop wasting my time idling and instead reflect on the position that I am currently in."

{Avatil begins to stroke his face.}"My son, I do not ask that you quell all the hatred in one night. I simply want you to take the first step towards peace. Drop your hatred. Others may not agree at first, but, they will change. As the years go by, you will find that many will follow in your example. And as the more stubborn individuals begin to pass on, their children will have a new perspective on life. All I ask of you is to preserve the peace and lead by example.
{The cloaked draugr stands in silence after hearing Nanashi's story. Then, he speaks.}"I see. That's a lot of guilt to hold for 65 years. I'm sorry. You should let go of your past. It will only drag you down. Lucy is right. You are destined for greater things. Don't worry about the draugrs. They won't bother you anymore. What will you do now, nameless one."{He pauses for a second.}"Oh, I'm sorry. Apparently, your name is Spots?"

*pleasurable

"Well, he's really our only option right now..." Nitika muttered to Gemini.
She cleared her throat, "No, I don't get motion sickness...
Are we ready?"

{Ardens give a curious look.}"Your body? Why do you need it so badly?"

( Alfred has no filter he will just tell you what on his mind :s)

(Alfred is just amazing in every way. XD)

(Maldius: *blows a raspberry at Maelstrom* Stupid Metal-Head!)

Erwen sighed and looked up at Avatil. "But I'm not strong enough to lead them, they all know it too. I'll only make Aquilam weak, my father knows this, but he can't do anything about it." He looked back down at his feet.

(*gaaasp* name calling is rude!)

"Hmmph." Maldius turns away from his partner and spreads his wings, preparing to take off.

Zygoren pauses a moment before asking, "Have you heard the legend of Maldius?"

( @Fade I like Alfred, too XD )

( @Fading Agreed xP)

{Avatil gives him a reassuring look}"Neither was your father when he started. You will become stronger with age. And you will have your friends and the advisors to help you. Why do you think they're there?"

( @Fade-Lilly-Fluffy I agree with you all.)

(I am keeping track of Erwen and Avatil's conversation, I think it'll be important in what Crowley does later on, considering Crowley is currently allied with Erwen to start a war.)

{Ardens tilts his head.}"Yes, I have. What of it?"(The dog hasn't gotten to him yet.)

"The tribe won't accept me...even with advisers. At least father had his parents with him." He muttered the last part to himself. He looked up at the draugr, his tears almost dried. "What do I do?"

(Lol. XD Maelstrom: At least I'm not a domineering narcissist!)

Maelstrom aired out his dull orange wings as he watched his partner, choosing not to say anything more. //I should not be agitating him,// he scolded himself. //Maldius is too dangerous to take lightly. And he is greedy for power. If I am not careful, he will use my vulnerability as a chance to take over my rebellion, and then all of Lecra will suffer a fate that was never meant to be.//

"It's not a legend. It's truth. Maldius is alive, and he's here in Lecra as we speak. I should know..." Zygoren lowers his head to look Ardens in the eye, despite his own eyes being hollow. "Please, I need you to bring my body back, I might be able to reason with him!"

(Haha the draugr call him spots XD only Lucy called him that but the others in the clan would have heard)

Nanashi let out a faint chuckle at being called spots " I will go where the wind takes me, but their is still someone I need to talk to..."

{Avatil just smiles.}"Well, for starters, you could be nicer to your future subjects. Part of the reason as to why they're so rude and un accepting to you is because you're rude to them. As for the ones who want a war beyond all else, well, just be persistent in peace. And if all else fails...{She closes her eyes, then, reopens them to reveal a brighter, almost firey glow.}...I'll pay each and every one of them a visit myself!"{Her eyes return to normal}"Don't worry, you'll be fine. And remember, even in death, I'll always be with you."

Maldius leaps off the cliff and glides downward toward the forest, not wanting anyone to spot him flying. //He thinks I'm an idiot. I had thought at least he'd appreciate the fact that I found the perfect assassin, but no!// The dark dragon lands in the forest and scans the area or any form of life. Seeing nothing, he sighs. "Well, now's the perfect time, to visit that place, I suppose..." He wanders through the forest, slowly calming down as he ponders various things.

(Erwen's momma is scary .-. )

Erwen smiled. "I'll try mother." He paused. "I'll try to make peace with everyone. And if anyone tries to tear it down. I'll defend it...for you and father. For everyone." Erwen used his wing to brush away the tears that were stinging his eyes again.

( Alfred puts hands on face "I have fans!!" QwQ)

Alfred " sweet cocoa beans! because you know that would be an unpleasant trip to have puke on your back...LET DO THIS THING! Huzzah!!" He lowered himself to let Nikita on

Gemini //she going to die...this guy is crazy, but we don't have any other choice// "you better be careful light bulb with her" she said with a threatening tone

Alfred "most definitely your highness!"
" all aboard the Alfred Express!!"

( @Lilly Dragon mom is best mom.)

(Gonna be a little inactive for a bit, making dinner for myself and bro)

( @Griffin True :p )

( @Fade Alright :p )

(Alrighty @Fade)

{The hooded draugr gives a puzzled look.}"And Who might that be?"
{Ardens laughs.}"Really? The king of evil himself? Well then, assuming he is real, what makes you think you can reason with him?"{Just as he says this, the dog draugr runs up to him from deep within the cavern. It's jaw unhinges as it begins to speak.}"Necromancer! I bring bad news! A great evil has returned to Lecra! Maldius has been seen slaughtering an innocent dragon!"{Completely speechless, Ardens turns back to the spectre.}"Ok, keep talking."

Nanashi look at the Draugr " just a kid...but I don't what him to go through what I did..."

Zygoren opens his mouth to speak, but then closes his mouth again. After a moment, he speaks quietly, his ghostly voice filled with grief, "Dragonets do not come from the air, and eggs are not spawned from nothing... Maldius, like all other dragons, had a mother and father...
Maldius is... my son... I am his father..."

Nitika hesitantly got onto Alfred's back. "Let's go." She sighed, readying herself for takeoff.

{Avatil smiles}"Thank you, my son. Now go. But, promise me one thing. Promise me that you will not tell your father about me. To hear that I am dead might be too much for his mind."
{The cloaked draugr nods.//Macgyver. I need to tell the Necromancer.//}"Safe travels, Spots."{The draugr stands, waving bye to Nanashi.}
{Ardens eyes widen.}"His......father? Very well. I will bind you to your body. However, I can only bind spirits that are under my command. You would first have to pledge yourself to me before I can raise you."

(Back!)

(Welcome back, @Fade! ^^)

Alfred "oh my goodness you way like a ton! ...Just kidding!" He smiled " Hi ho silver away!! " he shouted as he launched himself into the sky
Gemini followed after him.

Alfred " so where are we going again?"

Gemini stumbled and caught her balance again // what is with this guy?//

"I understand, I am willing to submit to you. Anything, to save my son, and all of Lecra..." Zygoren replies.

Erwen nodded. "I'm pretty sure he's already given up, he wouldn't believe me if I told him." He turned and went to the exit of the cave. "I guess this is goodbye?"

(Hey @Fade!)

"We're heading towards the mountains."
Nitika pointed towards the mountains where they were told Black Ice was headed.

(Hey guys! As I don't have much to do right now, I'll just be watching until the end of the session.)

Nanashi tilts his head in a bowmotion "as to you" he turned and walked to the cave entrance

(Alright @Fade. I suppose Maelstrom will put on a top hat and sip tea for the rest of the night XP )

"Very good."{Ardens stretches out his hand towards Zygoren and closes his eyes. The purple gems on his gauntlets begin to glow.}( @Lilly Note:Now that Zygoren is bound to Ardens' will, he cannot disobey any command that Ardens gives. All the draugrs are like this){After it is done, Ardens speaks.}"Ok, first things first, under no circumstances are you to ever reveal my true identity to anyone. Now, where is your body buried?"
{Avatil gets up.}"Yes, but not forever. We will see each other again very soon. That is, if I find a way to break this stone skewer. Goodbye, my child."

(Lilly: I suppose he will. But does he like tea or coffee more?)

Alfred "Oooo! Cool! They're quite a ways out there maybe a day or so flight at this speed or we can go faster?"

Gemini "hay! remember you have live cargo on your back Buckethead!"

Alfred " well excuse me princess! I was asking Nikita not you!" He sticks his tongue out at Gemini
Gemini starts frustrating grumbling to herself

Erwen nodded. "Goodbye mother." With that he left the cave without turning back to look at Avatil. Once he had made decent distance between himself and the cave he took to the air and began flying back to the capital.

(Aaaaand with that I gotta go. You guys can continue if you'd like.)

"I understand. Follow me, I will show you where I died, but let us move quickly..." Zygoren says, quickly turning and dashing out of Ardens' lair.

In the forest, Maldius stops and looks around in annoyance. //I don't remember there being so many trees... of course my idiot father had to get himself murdered out in the middle of nowhere.// Growling, he resumes searching through the woods.

(Goodbye, @Griffin!)

( @Shadow Pffffft, buckethead? XD.){About 10 minutes after Erwen left, two large dragon draugrs approach Avatil. With their massive strength, they snap the stalagtitein half like a toothpick. Avatil then frees herself and walks into the darkness of the cave with the other draugrs.}

(Bye peeps! I'm outie!)

(See you @Griffiin!^-^)

( @Shadow Gemini and Alfred are so funny X3 )

(Bye @Griff! See you next time!){Ardens pursues Zygoren.} {A platoon of human draugrs hear the footsteps of Maldius. They march in his direction.}

"I'd prefer it if we kept going at this speed.
I'm not exactly used to flying." She laughed.
Now that she was in the air, she actually found that she enjoyed it. The wind passing through her scales felt very relaxing.

( @Aggron *insert The Imperial March here*)

(Thanks! @Aggron and @lilly! It's going to be interested X3)

( @Lilly Lol XD)

Maldius hears the clinking of armor and marching footsteps and stops in his tracks. He carefully observes his surroundings with interest and waits. //Is something coming to challenge me? I welcome the violence, if so.//

{From the treeline, appear dozens of glowing blue eyes. The draugrs march out and surround Maldius. The draugr commander of the unit adresses Maldius.}"Maldius, the Devourer of Hope, the Destroyer, the Defiler. Why are you here and not in the Wastes? What purpose have you here?"

Alfred "as you wish!" He tilted wings to catch one of the current.

Alfred " I Believe I Can Fly, I believe I can touch the sky, I dream about it every night and day spread my wings and fly away, I Believe I sore you see me running through that open doooor! I believe I can fly! *I can fly* I believe I can fly! " he sings in a surprisingly good voice
Gemini noticed Nikita laughing //what is so amusing?...is it because she never flowing before?, but being a dragon with no wings that would make since... to be honest I have rarely flown to// she watch them intensely. she tried to mimic them, and let the wind passing her. She smelled

A wicked grin slowly appears across the dark dragon's maw. "I have come to reclaim what is rightfully mine. The time has come for me to fulfil my destiny by ushering in a new age... an age of darkness and despair!"

Nitika began humming along to the tune Alfred was singing. It had been a long time since she'd felt this free and happy. She let her worries and woes float away on the wind.

{The draugr snorts.}"Really? And just how do you plan on accomplishing this? Even a foul daedra like yourself couldn't do that on your own."

(Nanashi...//I still have a spare in my shoulder//... O.o)

(DUN DUN DUNNNNN)

( @Shadow XD. Cloaked Draugr:"Yeah, that spear has been resting in contact with corpses for about a thousand years. You might want to get that checked out, Spots."

(Hey @Turtlee!)

Alfred turns his head and looks back at Nikita "spp, I think something's wrong with Princess...she smiling" in a whisper that wasn't much of a whisper

Gemini eyes got big as she try to catch her balance in the air again " I dont know what you're talking about!" her face turned red

"Oh, I've come prepared... Really, I ought to thank Lennox for exiling me to that dull island, I've benefitted from it a good bit." Maldius narrows his eyes slightly at the draugr commander. "I hope you didn't come just for a talk."

Zygoren leads Ardens out into the heart of the woods, to a small clearing. In the center of the clearing is a ghostly little dragonet, her essence glowing pale blue. "Papa, you're back!"
"Yes, little one, I've returned," Zygoren says, speaking to the dragonet, and then turns to Ardens. "This is the place."

(Helllooo! Im bored and my parents are mad so Ill just slip in)

(Hi @Turtlee! )

Nitika looked back at Gemini and chuckled. "You don't need to hide your smile." She gave her a warm smile.

(Hey @Turtle!)

Macgyver stood at a hillside not far from the Capitol, staring out in the woods below. He noticed something that glintered, and the sound of distant marching. Instead of following the sound, he sat and watched the afar comotion from the hill.

(Ill just have him watch and stuff, don't wanna ruin the moment)

{The draugr commander laughs cynically}"Hahahahaha! Yes, Dark One, we're all standing here, armed to the teeth because we wanted to invite you to tea!"{With a wave of his hand, the draugrs create a shieldwall. From behind the wall, numerous javelins fly at Maldius.}
{The Necromancer nods at Zygoren.}"Then, there's no time to waste."{He raises his hand at Zygoren, then points at the grave. With these motions, Zygoren is pulled and bound into his body. He then turns to the little spirit.}"And who are you?"

( @Turtlee Ok, after all, Mac's already been yelled at once today. X))

( @Aggron haha poor spots XP)

Nanashi grab the spear that was covered in ice and pulled it out he threw it on the ground, and seltas his armor with more ice //I will need to take care of this...// he spread his wings and took off into the sky ignoring the pain

Letting out the most demonic, nightmarish roar any creature has ever heard, Maldius catches the javelins mid-air with his telekinesis and shatters them before charging at the draugr commander, explosions of purple fire bursting from the ground wherever his paws touch.

{The draugr commander roars as well, a large toothy smile spread across his face. He draws his greatsword and orders all of the draugrs to charge.}"Let's go, daedra!"{Swords drawn, the draugrs all lunge at Maldius}
{In the distance, the Necromancer hears Maldius' mighty demon cry.}"That's him, isn't it?"

Gemini feeling embarrassed //I don't understand, ...Is this what she fills when she with others?...is this what having friends is?// she smiled a little but soon faded //No...it's just a lie... I'm not supposed to be happy...No their Teresa's friends... not mine how can a monster have friends? // she had a blank face

Nitika felt concerned when she saw Gemini's face go blank,
"...Is something wrong?"

(Awww, poor Gemini. :( @Lilly we need Sherry over here asap.)

( Turtle Nanashi can swing by Mac he had a rough night but he can still swing by)

"My name's Crystal, Maldius is my big brother! We used to play together everyday, he's the best big brother ever! Will I get to talk to him too, mister?-Woah, you don't look so good, Papa!" The little dragonet says, distracted by her father's emergence from the ground.

Zygoren's draugr looks himself over. "I seem to have lost weight over all these years..." He sighs. "I was quite handsome, back in my day..."

(That last comment was a little slow, sorry XP )

Zygoren quietly looks toward the direction of the roar. "... Yes... that's him..."

( @Aggron But Sherry's sleeping! We'll have to get them to meet up when daytime comes around! D: )

( @Lilly it's cool.){The Necromancer looks Zygoren over.}"That's the least of your worries. Do yourself a favor, don't look at yourself too much. You won't like what you see."{He then turns to Crystal.}"You can if you wish. Better make up your mind quick though, your brother's coming this way soon."{//Best brother ever? I bet that monster killed them both with his own claws.//}

Gemini " no I'm fine" she just stared straight ahead

Alfred " you don't look so good, are you going to throw up I have a bag?"
Gemini " no I'm not going to throw up! I'm just a little tired that all!" //I've stayed to long... she will need to wake up soon// her wings started to give a little

Alfred " well princess is back! " he smiled

"Yeah, I wanna be able to talk to him too!" Crystal exclaims.

Zygoren looks at Ardens with concern. "You wouldn't... order her to do anything drastic... would you? She's only a little dragonet..."

Macgyver heard the scream, his head perked in the direction. But he ignored it. Mac reached for something in his bag, and then proceeded to pull out a lump of gold. He raised his claws, and consentrated. Soon his clawtips heated up, causing the precious metal to slowly liquify. He broke it apart, and began to mold it into shapes as if it was putty.
After awhile, Macgyver held small chains. Slowly and carefully, he liked them together, creating a beutiful chain necklace, each link in the shape of a rose.

//I hope Noxuara will like it// He thought, before putting it carefully back in his bag.

Nitika thought to herself for a moment. //It's a little odd how Teresa's personality changes so often... And her eyes change color as well...//

"Do you mind me asking... How do your eyes change color?
They were blue before... Now they're red."

{The Necromancer turns to Zygoren.}"Of course not. Despite the nature of my magic and appearance, I'm not a monster."{The Necromancer raises his hand at Crystal. The gems glow again. He then points at her body, and binds her soul to it.}

Gemini eyes widen at the question "It's A magic thing... hey but isn't this the forest we meet? " // were you meet Teresa... but I have to get her off topic//
Alfred "did she just tried to Dodger the question?"

Gemini glared at him //I'm about ready to stuff squirrels in your ears// her wings move little slower

"O-oh!" Nitika looked down, nearly falling off of Alfred's back. "Yes it is!
I'm certainly happy we met. It's not often that a Chrysos dragon can befriend an Aquilam dragon..."
She paused, "Well, an ex-Chrysos dragon now." She said with the slightest hint of anger in her voice.

Nanashi flying over where he first met Mac, he tilted his wings and land not for from where he last seen Mac. Nanashi shook his main , and his ice armor fell off him like snow. He gritted his teeth at the pain as he walked to a spot and sat down examining his wounds

Maldius halts his charge suddenly, breathing out a bright purple fireball at the commander. The pupils of his eyes then glow purple as he uses his telekinesis to lift one of the draugrs off the ground, slamming him into the others. "You really think you can harm me? ME?! Hahahahaha! I am a DEITY compared to any normal, petty dragon!"

(I gtg now! >.< but I had fun!)

(Ahh ok @Fluffy it was fun! See you next time! )

(So since I don't have much to do now Black Ice?)

"Thank you... it's just... she's my daughter, you know." Zygoren watches Crystals draugr rise from the ground quietly, but then suddenly breaks down and cries.

Crystal's head and neck seem slightly crooked, almost as if someone snapped her neck. "Oh no, Papa, don't cry... I look kinda bad too, don't I..?"

"I failed... I failed to save you both from them... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." Zygoren mutters pitifully.

(Ahh, so intense..!! I love this RP so much! OuO)

(Bye @Fluffy!){The draugr commander laughs in Maldius' face.}"A diety? Of what? Egotistical morons?"{All the other draugrs laugh as they pick themselves up. The commander grins as he jumps straight through the fireball. He emerges on the other side, mystical flames eating at his body, and swings his sword at full strength down on Maldius' face.}"You're no diety. You're just a freak of nature with a big ego!"

(Goodbye, @Fluffy!)

(Hi @Fade !)

{The Necromancer grabs Crystal's head. Using his restoration magic, he corrects the alignment of the discs.}"There, all better."{He then turns to Zygoren.}"I'd ask what happened, but we don't have much time. My soldiers can't hold him for much longer."

( @Shadow Yes, bring on Blackice!)

Maldius manages to stop the blade just inches away from his face with his telekinesis. "How DARE YOU!!" Feeling absolutely furious at being mocked, the dark dragon rips the sword from the commander's grasp and drives it through the draugr's throat before unleashing a shockwave of mystical lightning and roaring.

( ok! ^-^)

Zygoren regains his composure, nodding to Ardens. "I'm not sure why my son would bother coming here... perhaps we ought to hide and see if he speaks his mind first?"

Crystal seems thrilled, for whatever reason. "I bet my big brother will be so happy to see us again, Papa," she says, bouncing around a bit.

( @Turtle, are you still here, and are you reading online comments?

@Shadow Yas, let's see BlackIce! ^^)

Black Ice somewhere in the Frozen waste he look out across the terrain" I'm close" he had a tablet in his hands.

{The draugr commander, still laughing, turns to ash. The remaining draugrs use their shields to avoid getting incinerated by the shockwave. A different draugr takes command of the group.}"What's the matter, MOLDius? I thought you liked destruction? It's no fun when your opponent doesn't feel pain or fear, huh?"{The draugrs charge again, this time, not as close together.}

{The Necromancer nods.}"That would be fine. I know I'm hiding when he comes. It won't be long now."{Ardens sees the light from the shockwave in the distance.}"Not long at all."

"//SILEENNNCCEE!!!!//" Maldius roars, a mixture of fire and lightning flickering and crackling along his scales while the ground beneath him freezes. Using his telekinesis, the dark dragon uproots entire trees and raises boulders from the ground and hurls them rapidly at the draugrs before charging at them himself, his eyes glowing yellow with a mad, pitiless light.

He sled down a slope digging his Talons into the ice he's stop at the bottom and spotted a polar bear, the bear seen him and ran off he just smirked at it. Just then he heard a voice from behind him "this he trespasser just scared off are meat!" He stop and look at him. He spotted 4 exiles around him.

Blackice "funny thing about animals...even a Predator should knows when it's becomes prey"
One of the exile " well that was are bear and you made it run off! And now we are going to take what you have!"

Blackice "I wasn't talking about the bear" he said in a calm voice as he stared at the exile

( @Lilly OMG XD Hahahaha! The draugrs are making Maldius so salty! XD. Draugr: U no MLG qwikscoper! Faking scrublord! Git gud noob! ){The draugrs turn to ash as they get crushed. All but one. One draugr miraculously avoids all of the flying objects and jumps right at Maldius.}"Hahahaha! Come get me, Purple Plum-boy!

(Hahah XD Oh my goodness! )

(Maldius: RAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!)

Maldius leaps at the draugr, snarling and tearing at him with his teeth and claws, more like some feral beast rather than a dragon.

"Sounds like Big Brother's not happy," Crystal remarks.

( @Lilly XD I'm loving this RP.){The draugr laughs as he gets torn apart by the large dragon. His torso falls to the ground.}"Haha! Fu.*k you too! You can't kill the dead, silly! See you reeeeeeaaaaal soon!"{The draugr turns to ash.}

(I come back and what do I find? Salt everywhere, who broke into the kitchen?)

{The Necromancer feels the last soul return to him.}"That's it! He's coming! Hide!"{The Necromancer becomes a black, smokelike mass. He then retreats to the forest, his presence completely hidden from the purple monster.}

( @Griff That would be me......ewe)

The Exiles look at each other not sure what he meant. The one that was talking said "did you just threaten us!? On are turf! We are form the tattered claw clan!"

Blackice smirked at him "all I see are animals" his eyes became find slits
The exile roared and charged at him with the others not for behind
Blackice snapped his talons and 4 very large wolf like creatures appeared on the ledge above him.
The Exiles stopped in horror at the creatures site "it's demons!" They look at Blackice
Blackice "all I see is dogfood" his face was clam

The creature jump down and attack

( @Shadow He's a conjurer? Or a beast tamer?)

(Beat tamer @Aggron a very Twisted Beast tamer)

"//RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!//" Maldius screams with rage, slamming his claws into the ground as chaos surrounds him. Large icicles form all over the ground, only to suddenly explode, trees and bushes spontaneously burst into purple flames, lightning strikes the ground all around. After several minutes, the chaos subsides, and Maldius sits in the new clearing he made, breathing heavily. Suddenly feeling light-headed, his wings slouch and he hangs his head low, closing his eyes. "Whew..." he sighs. //I've never been more infuriated my whole life...... what was I doing...? Oh yes, looking for my father's grave...// He slowly rises from a sitting position, looks around, and starts advancing towards the place his father died.

Zygoren and Crystal quickly hide behind the trees and wait quietly.

( @Lilly Damn, Maldius, chill! The last draugr already died. XD ){The Necromancer sees the destruction from a distance.//What the hell? My draugrs must have really annoyed him. Better stay out of sight.//}

( @Shadow Excellent! They appear!)

as the exile screams fill the air Blackice began to calmly walk by he pulls out his tablet again and studies it. //if there no more distractions I can finally find it!//
He walk quite a ways he stop at a icy Canyon "this must be it!"

(Er- Am I supposed to look at online comments? )

( @Turtlee Yes.)

(Dang... Somebody needs to visit an anger management therapist... XD)

( @lilly is Maldius  Fortress a little morbid?)

(Casually scrolling for an infinity)

The thumping of heavy footsteps heralds Maldius' arrival as the dark dragon slowly walks into view. He scans the area carefully. "... Yes, this is... somewhat familiar." He walks up to the place where Zygoren and Crystal's draugrs were raised and notices how the ground appears to have been dug into. "Did someone try to loot your corpse, Father? I've heard you were a poor old fool, so I wouldn't think there'd be much to steal from you."

"He's a lot bigger than I remember him being! He's bigger than even you, Papa!" Crystal quietly exclaims.

"Shh, not so loud, child..." Zygoren rebukes.

(And Beyond @Turtlee xp )

Macgyver looked up in the sky, wondering where the sudden outburst came from. He looked around for a source, but saw none. Macgyver padded around, sinking deep in thought. //What if she doesn't like me? I mean- What do we have in common?!? Well I guess we both wern't born here... But thats a stupid reason.//

( @Fade He needs a visit from Sherry tbh

@Shadow Considering the fact he kills people for fun, yeah, dark and morbid XP )

(We all need a visit from Sherry tbh)

( @Shadow- Ehhhhhh scrolling does takes an infinity and beyond XD )

{The Necromancer gazes upon Maldius.//He really is real. May the Divines have mercy on our souls.//}

Blackice continued down the Canyon he begin to see corpses hanging on ice spikes here and there, Some had severed heads. The felt the presence of magic as he turn the corner of the canyon and seen the Fortress it's size was massive it had ice in Twisted spirals that cast a dark shadow over it. Its wall had body hang from them "I've fond it!" Blackice said

(I tried @Turtlee XD)

Nanashi been to wrap his wounds in the spot where he met Mac

Maldius hardly takes notice as rain begins falling gently. He looks at the ground, lost in thought for a moment. "... You know... I never was able to meet Mother. I wonder if she was as petty as you, Father." He pauses again. "I still can't understand... why you tried to take me away from Aquilam. You said that my powers were destroying my mind, slowly... yet I've mastered my power over the years, and I'm perfectly fine. What were you so worried about, that you went so far as to try to flee from Aquilam with me?" Maldius tilts his head, pondering, but can't think of an answer.

Blackice made his way to the entrance the door was massive and covered in skulls. He look at the his tablet and study it for a while

{The Necromancer listens intently. //What's this all about?//}

"... Maybe you were worried about Fayveer, the dragon in charge of my training," he continues, now with a slightly crazed grin, "but you didn't need to worry about him, I managed to kill him and several other worthless dragons before I was exiled. I almost killed Lennox, as well, but I was stopped... Now, one hundred years later, I have returned, and this time, no one will stop me. I shall tear Lennox limb from limb and let him die watching his kingdom burn-I don't care if I have to destroy Aquilam and Chrysos both to do so! Then, you will have the honor of knowing your son is the great deity destined to destroy Aquilam and rule as King... I'm sure you would be proud."

Zygoren feels sick. "My son... what's happened to you...?" he breathes.

{//Not on my watch, you egotistical spiny eggplant! Lennox stopped you once. Just wait till he hears about your return and your plans!//}

Blackice "Maldius oh great one! I have come to seeking your awesome power!"
His voice echoed across the canyon...
He waited a while...no one response back.... he look at the door and place the tablet in a spot on the door it light up, and the door opened slowly he smiled . He walked in "Maldius oh great one! I have come seeking your awesome power! And guidance!" His voice echoed in the room

Maldius' grin takes on a crueler tone. "I'd ask you your thoughts, but you're dead, Father. You really were an idiot. Where did you think you could take me where Aquilam wouldn't find me?" He then turns his back to his father's grave, and begins to walk away... but then Zygoren steps into the clearing.
"... Maldius... my son."

The dark dragon stops in his tracks. "....... 'Son'...?"

(*Munches on popcorn*)

Blackice look around he was starting to get frustrated he call for his pets "look for him or anything!" The creature split up in different directions in the Fortress Blackice went One Direction to look. Room after room was empty, he began to dig his claws into the floor out of frustration

Maldius slowly turns to face his father. "... It's really you, father?" he asks, rather disbelievingly.

"It is, it's me. It's... been a long time, my boy..." Zygoren says, fighting back tears. For a moment, father and son just look at each other in silence.

Crystal then runs up to Maldius. "Big Brother! I missed you! You grew really big! Wow! Um... what happened to your eyes? They look different and kinda scary now. Are you ok, Big Brother?"

Maldius glares down at the little dragonet. "'Brother?' What are you talking about, brat? I've never had a sister."

"You don't remember me?! But Brother, we always played together a long time ago! And anytime I got upset, you'd turn yourself pink and make your voice get really squeaky and it was really funny-"

"I'VE NEVER DONE THAT!" Maldius suddenly roars, causing Crystal to cower in fear. "I would //never// stoop so low as to make myself pink! I don't know who you are or why you think I'm your brother..."

"My son, please try to remember... this dragonet is truly your sister," Zygoren pleads, "Has your curse corrupted your mind so much, you can't even remember that...?"

Blackice made it to another room it had a few things in it but it to was empty this rage boil up he roared " where is he!!" Blackice flip the table that was in the room sending this stuff flying he grabbed one of the statues and pushed it over if shattered to pieces he started to blast stuff with his ice breath.he stood there Breathing heavily one of his creatures stand in the door way he turned and snapped at it "don't just stand there! I told you to go look! So look!"the creature run off "I hate when they sneak up on me... it reminds me of that cursed witch Gemini! Alway sneaking around! But when I finally find Maldius he will have the power to make things right...and I will finally see her again "

{Upon hearing this, the Necromancer instantly regrets giving Crystal a body.//I......might have screwed up.........maybe.....//}

{//Wait, did he say curse? The legend didn't say anything about a curse!//}

(Maldius: @BlackIce HOI

Maldius: YOU'RE VANDALIZING MY PROPERTY

Maldius: STAHP DAT)

( @Blackice Stahp breakin' da law!)

(Haha yaeh for the most part he keep his cool, but when he blows up he blows up)

Blackice "the Legends have to be true this Is his Fortress! But where is he!! I did came all this way for nothing! " he continue down some hallways

Maldius narrows his eyes at his father. "You're wrong, there's no curse on me, and I've never had a sister." But then Maldius feels a strange tugging sensation in his mind, and he doubts himself. //Am I cursed...? I thought I was fine... but how can I tell?// He looks down at his sister again. //Something about her is familiar but... I can't... I can't ever remember having a little sister...// He closes his eyes and shakes his head, pushing those thoughts away. //No, none of that is true. I'm not like Mac. I'm not cursed. I'm fine. This is the way I've always been. I've never had a sister.//

(Blackice Maldius dont what no Girl Scout cookies go away )

{The Necromancer notices Maldius' hesitation.//What? Wait a minute, Mac gets the same look in his eye when.........Is Maldius afflicted by the same curse?//}

Zygoren suddenly reaches out and grabs both of Maldius' paws with his own. "Look at me, Maldius! You //are// cursed, I wouldn't say it if it weren't true! You likely don't realize it. Please, you've got to fight it, my son!"

Maldius' eyes go wide with surprise at his father's sudden action. "F-father... I... I..." He blinks a couple times, looking into Zygoren's glowing eyes, but after his shock fades, Maldius' eyes narrow again, and suddenly he dislikes the feel of his father's paws touching his own. "Don't touch me," he growls, pulling away from Zygoren.

( @Shadow XD
Would you want me to describe the Pool of Visions in Maldius' fortress, by the way?)

Blackice made it deeper into the Fortress he can across a room with a pond in the middle. Blackice could fill magic coming from it. "I finally found him!"

(Ok that's were I have to leave it.* next time Blackice has to figure out how it works,* I got to go to bed I have work in the morning :s good night @lilly and @Aggron I'll read up on what you guys are up to tomorrow.)

( @Shadow Alright, goodnight! :p )

{//Hostility towards friends and family? Check. Memory loss. Check. Acts of extreme violence? Check. Crazed look in eyes? Check after check, checking off my checklist! Yup, this bast.ard's cursed.//}

( @lilly sure! But I'm going to have to what till next time maybe when you get a chance this week you can so I have him describe it better but for now I have to call it a night :s)

(Ok, goodnight, @Shadow!)

(Zygoren: @Ardens I thought I already said he was cursed?)

(Ardens: " @Zygoren I'm just confirming it. I was taught how to recognize many curses. Hell, I can cast them too.")

Maldius' mouth starts twitching, and forms a sadistic grin. "I have a question, Father..."

Zygoren sighs, feeling hopeless. "Yes, what is it, my child...?"

"Can you still bleed, being undead?"

"I...-"

Zygoren is surprised by the question, and thus didn't see it coming as his son suddenly leaps at him, throwing him over and pinning him to the ground. "STOP THIS! MALDIUS!! PLEASE!!!" he begs.

But Maldius laughs darkly. "Goodbye, Father. It was nice seeing you, but stay dead this time." After speaking the last word, he brutally slams his claws into his father's skull, and Zygoren's draugr turns to ash beneath him.

(My mom just got onto me about being up so late, so I gotta go. This was fun! Can't wait for next time!)

{The Necromancer trembles with anger at this. He tried hard not to run out and attack Maldius.//Why does this bother me? I've seen far worse things!//}

( @Lilly Oh dear. 0-0 Welp, this was very entertaining. See you next time!)

(Dang, you guys stayed up really late... or rather, early. xP Awesome job, though!)
