Here. Might be a little slow. I'm packing for my trip.

Im here! But I have to leave in an hour for an hour so lets do this!

Alright, hi guys! We just need @Lilly and we can finish this

What about @Shadow?

And @Shadow!
Sorry I'm really tired

@Shadow just posted something, so she'll be here any moment.

I'm here on my way to work so I'll be slow

Hi and thanks @Fade

Hello @Shadow

Hi!! Everyone! :D

Eh I need to start my homework soon, should us four start and if @Lilly makes it she can just jump in?

Yeah, Ive olny got a half hour at this point

Up to you guys

@Griff who should start then?

Ugh Iv'e got to go to tutoring... Ill be back around 6

Hey, I'm here at the moment, but I likely won't do anything unless I'm needed. And I probably can't stay long.

I can start @Aggron

Aww sorry for waiting so long @Turtle

Aw okay @Radiant

@Radiant I'll have the Prowlers let Ivy out of her cage so that she won't be stuck in case you can't do much today.

@Griff Go ahead and start with Nox's reaction to losing a finger.

@Aggron alright!

(Aggron) Alright, go ahead.

(I'm here!)

Hey, @Lilly, glad you could make it!

Noxaura screeched in pain as her finger was cut off. But quickly her cries of pain were turning into furious outbursts and her thrashing increased a tensfold. She lashed out with claw and tooth trying to release herself from the Necromancer.

(Hey @Lilly!)

(Ohhhhh, I just realized you guys meant 4PM Eastern time. Sorry I'm late!)

Blackice was in shock at Noxaura words to him "I--I wouldn't abandon Master....I won't abandon Master! " he snap his talons //they should get here soon// and took off back into the secret tunnel "I'M COMING MASTER!!"

{Quickly, the Necromancer removes the cursed ring from the finger and places it into a small metal box with runes. As he attempts to once again grab Nox's paw, her sudden outburst causes the draugr on top of her to shift and nearly lose its grip on her.}"Hold her still!"{The other two draugrs move to restrain her, one grabbing her head and the other restraining her tail. The Necromancer once again grabs her paw and begins to attempt to reattach the removed finger with bandages and restoration magic.}

Ivy crouched in her cell, glancing around suspiciously. She knew for certain there was something in the dungeon besides her and Casta, but she had no idea what, for it was too dark to see a thing.

( @Radiant Casta left via the secret tunnel during the last RP. Maldius got him and put ghim in there. Ivy's alone rn.){From the darkness crawls a Prowler. It comes up to the cell door, puts its blade into the lock, and with a very labored twisting movement, it breaks the lock and opens the cell.}

( @Aggron You can reply to this whenever, prioritize everyone else first.)

Maldius growls, opening his eyes which are once again full of hatred and malice. He attempts once more to rise from the ground, glaring malevolently at the draugr commander. "I... will... kill you...!!" the dark dragon speaks, mustering up just enough strength to raise his upper half, cough up purple-tinted blood onto the draugr's chest, then fall forward, growling and muttering furiously.

Noxaura sunk her teeth into the draugr's arm closest to her jaws and with a flash of brute strength tore it off completely. Her tail was soon covered in the silver fire guaranteeing a problem to the draugr restraining it.

(hey @Kole!)

(Hey @Kole! It's too bad you can't stay :/ )

{The draugr commander laughs in his face one again.}Hahahaha! You kill me? In this state? Even if you could, I'd just come back again and again! Have you learned nothing from last time?"{The other draugrs in the room quickly face the secret tunnel entrance, as if they heard something coming.}"Well, looks like one of your friends might just care about you after all."

(Aggron: Oh yeah, I forgot that.)

Ivy leapt back as a figure appeared from the shadows and broke the lock on her cell. Her teeth flashed threateningly in the darkness. 'Who are YOU?' she hissed. 'Another of Maldius' cronies? Are you dragging me off to kill me?' She tilted her head, getting a better look at the creature. It was humanoid and resembled a rotting, animated corpse, eerily similar to the dragon zombie she'd encountered before.

Maldius lies almost motionless on the ground, still growling as he tries thinking of any possible way he could harm the draugr before him.

Blackice footsteps echoed down the tunnel
"I'm afraid I still have business to do with my employer..." he came out of the tunnel his expression was cold He looks at the draugrs and smiled //heh dark magic...I'm not the only one with pets// his eyes yellow slits he pointed at Maldius
"I'm here to take him back! " he slams his talons into the icy floor his eyes glowed as he pulled up on the ice pulling up 2 swords out of the ice.

{The draugr that lost its arm begins to curse nastily at Nox as it momentarily backs away. The one grabbing her tail continues to hold on despite being lit on fire. After binding the severed finger to Nox's paw with bandages, the Necromancer then drains her energy in an attempt to get her to stop fighting.}

(I'm at work now so my replies are going to be slow :s)

{The Prowler backs away from the open cell and speaks.}"You needn't fear me. I am not with Maldius, but against him. You are free to go."

{The draugr commander jumps on top of Maldius, brandishes his blade, and adressess Blackice.}"You want 'im? Come get 'im! Tear 'im to pieces, boys!"{The draugr horde charges Blackice}

Noxaura stops her sparatic movements and the fire dies out with the energy drained. She breaths heavily and looks at the Necromancer with a hateful glare. The wounds that covered her were beginning to bleed profusely.

{The Necromancer releases his grip.}"Tie her up and take her back"{The one-armed draugr and the draugr on top of her begin to restrain Nox with chains while the other one rolls about in the snow to extinguish the flames on itself. The Necromancer quickly stops the bleeding of Nox's wounds.}

Ivy slowly stepped out of the cell, keeping as far away from the Prowler as she could and eyeing it warily. 'Against him? Why should I believe you? And where did they take Casta? The wingless dragon?' She didn't take her gaze off the creature as she spoke.

Hearing BlackIce, Maldius ceases growling and observes what is to come.

{The Prowler continues to back away.}"If I was with Maldius, why would I let you out? If you're refering to that shadow creature, Maldius came down a little while ago, scooped him up, and left with him, I know not where."

( @Mademoinette Hey, long time no see! Glad you could make it!)

Noxaura turned her attention away from the Necromancer and was muttering some unintelligible words under her beeath while weakly clawing some runes into the ice. She growled as her fire returned, burning in her paws once more.

(Hey Mel! I'm glad you could make it, it's been a while!)

Blackice stood ready as the draugrs change at him. //there hear...// he looks up at the hole in the roof and smiled
"hmmm i have my plans" he had a smug look as a large shadow Beast (dragon ) busted though the opening and crash on some of the draugrs, it did a blood curdling Roar. Blackice smirked
and change at the draugrs slashing with his sowrd

*^ my own plans

( @Griff quick question, what exactly did those runes do?)

At that, Ivy took a single step forwards and growled at the Prowler. 'That doesn't give me any reason to trust you! Maybe it's all a trick!' She considered attacking the undead creature and forcing it to explain everything, but concern for Casta quickly overruled everything else in her mind. She needed to find out where Maldius had taken him. Slowly, she let out her breath and pushed back her anger. 'OK, let's say I believe... why did you come here? Did someone send you to rescue us?'

*believe you

(The runes are replenishing all of her energy. I forgot to put that, sorry.)

{The Prowler, now in the shadows, continues to speak.}"We were not sent for you. But, seeing how you were in the dungeon, we thought you might be willing to help us fight against Maldius. However, that is no longer necessary, as we've beaten him already. So, you can go do what you want and believe what you want. You're no longer part of the equation."

'I don't think so, darling,' Ivy snarled. 'I'm not going anywhere until I know exactly where Casta is. And I'd also quite like to know what you and your... friends are up to. Did you come to kill Maldius?' She stopped and groaned in frustration. 'Oh, why am I wasting my time? You're probably not going to tell me a thing.'

( @Griff Ah, ok.){Upon seeing her replenished energy, one of the armoured draugrs becomes furious. Its eyes assume a firey glow as it rears up, holding Nox above its head, and slams her down onto her back with all of it's might, cracking the ice beneath her. The other two draugrs move in with chains and attempt to finish restraining her. The Necromancer stands to the side, feeling frustrated.}

{The Prowler, now barely visible in the darkest part of the room, continues to speak.}"You don't need to know why we're here, just that we've set you free. If you want to find your friend, I suggest you go find Maldius."

After the quick shock from being thrown onto the ice passed, Noxaura used her wings to push herself back onto her feet and light the draugrs close to her on fire. The runes had done their job and the result was the wounds once again open and bleeding, the blood pooling on the ice beneath her.

(I bet the Necromancer is getting so upset at Nox lol)

{The draugr commander just stares at the shadow dragon, awestruck.}"......Well, that complicates things......."{The draugrs under the shadow beast begin to claw violently at its underside while the horde slams into it, tearing at it with everything they have. The draugrs attacking Blackice take his strikes, then tackle him to the ground trying to tear into him. The commander makes a loud shriek, in order to signal the Necromancer.}

(She's the new troll of the rp)

Ivy bared her teeth and started moving towards the Prowler, but stopped before she got too close. 'You're right,' she said in a tone of surprising calm. 'I should find the brute and force the information out of HIM.' After a final suspicious glance at the Prowler, she turned and started to explore the dungeon before heading out of the door. 'See you another time, sweetie.'

(I gotta go. I'll continue with Ivy next RP.)

(Aww, alright, see you @Radiant!)

(Alright @Radiant, it was fun! See you next time!)

( @Lilly Yeah, he's getting sick of her. XD){The Necromancer jumps on her back and stabs her with two knives at the bases of each of her wings, in an attempt to ground her.}"You're really making this more difficult than it needs to be, y'know that!?"{The now ignited draugrs grab onto her, once again trying to restrain her.}

(Bye @Radiant){Upon hearing the shrill call, the Necromancer yells at his draugrs.}"Hurry! we don't have much time!"

(Okay I'm back now)

Scratch hissed again at the Dragurs standing around him. As quick as a bolt of lightning, he throws one of his sharp knives straight at one of the undead solders.

{The draugr quicky tilts its head, causing Scratches' blade to bounce off it's helmet}"You'll need more than pen knives to deal with us!"{All three armored draugrs charge Scratch at once, weapons poised to stab him.}

(Bye, @Radiant!)

Noxaura let out a shriek as the two knives dug into her. With the weight of the two draugr's holding her down she collapsed too the ground. She was wincing in pain at the new burns and gashes that had been inflicted on her.

(Wb @Turtle!)

(Turrrrrtllleeeeeeee!!)

{The Necromancer speaks in a frustrated tone.}"Finally! Tie her properly this time!"{The draugrs begin to tie her limbs together, making sure that she's not carving any more runes.}

The shadow beasts not filling pain slashing at the attacking Draugr with its claws, it grabbed a draugr in it mouth and crushing it before it goes after another.
Blackice gets knocked down by his attackers he Roar in pain
his eyes darken as he takes a deep breath and shoots a stream of ice from his mouth at the Draugr attack him, his 4 shadow wolf bust though the door.
Blackice "get Maldius!" He shouted
The 4 shadow beasts change at the draugrs commander

Scratch let out a frustrated roar. He jumped back, his tail swinging against the ground, sending a wave of snow over the Dragurs in attempt to slow them down.

(Hiiiiii!!!!!)

Noxaura sighed and went limp. She looked over towrds the Necromancer before her face twisted in thought. "I know your voice..." Her own voice sounded raspy as if it hadn't been used in years.

{The draugr in the shadow beast's mouth turns to ash. The horde begins to attack it from the back as well. The draugrs attacking Blackice, now partially frozen, try to grab Blackice by the throat. Seeing the Shadow Wolves approaching, the draugr commander grabs Maldius by the back of the head and brings his blade to Maldius' neck.}"Oi, Beastmaster! Call off your creatures, unless you want to see your master's blood all over the floor!"}

Maldius growls as the draugr lifts up his head, yet he feels no fear with death so close to his neck. //How do I get out of this...// he ponders. //Telekinesis... the poison saps all my strength... but maybe... just enough to knock the blade away...//

{The draugrs plow through the snow and tackle Scratch onto his back.}"You should have run while we still allowed it!"{The draugr directly on top of him then stabs him in the side with its blade.}

{The Necromancer does not answer Nox as the draugrs finish restraining her.}"You three, take her away. I need to finish something."{The Necromancer begins to walk towards the fortress while the draugr begin to depart with Nox in tow.}

Scratch let out an angry cry as he was thrown to the ground. He winces and holds back a pained shreik as he is stabbed. Scratch weakly grins. "You can't take me out that easily!" He hisses, before kicking the Dragur in the side and nocking the Dragur's dagger into the snow.

Noxaura couldn't do anything and let the draugrs be. She looked from the corner of her eye to see Scratch struggling. Inwardly she smirked as she watched his fight briefly.

Blackice Roar in anger "no!no!no!NO NO you do not tell me what to do!!" The walls and floor start to make cracking and moaning noises of Shifting ice. His eyes go black as he takes his hand in and Titan theme in a gripping motion ice Spears shoot out of the wall as the floor start to crack open as the room shakes.
He started at the draugr Commander with black eyes
"You...are..nothing.. but..a..dog... toy!!" He's wolf attack in the middle if the chaos

{The draugr fighting Scratch does not respond to getting kicked, as his foot just hit a metal plate anyway. It does, however, become enraged at losing its weapon and begins to bite Scratch's neck. The other two draugrs surround Scratch and wait for an opening to attack him. The Necromancer just runs past them, keeping a safe distance from that fight.}

Scarlet sat in the shadows on one of the buildings near the Chrysos palace stroking her Raven do you think it's time for a little fun? She said with a twisted smile

(I have to vacuum so it will be like 10 minutes or so I'll try and be quick! )

{The draugrs with Nox take to the skies, the biggest one carrying Nox, and begin to fly back to Lecra.}

Scratch screeches in rage as a response to being bitten. He tries to pull away, using his knives to stab at any possible unprotected scales.

Noxaura lowers her head in mock deafeat. However out of the view of the draugrs a faint smirk was on her face.

{The draugr commander smacks away one of the Shadow Wolves with his knife hand.}"Fine! have it your way!"{He then turns the knife on Maldius.}

{The draugr fighting Scratch doesn't respond to being stabbed between the plates. It lets go of his neck, grabs Scratch's hand, and turns his own blade on himself.}"Ooooh, I feel an enchantment on these! Let's see what they do!"

King Lennox raised his head at the sound of visitors. He waved his tail as a signal that granted them entrance, hoping they'd be able to see it from where they were.

{Upon hearing the noise of dragons outside Lennox's quarters, Theseus begins to wisper.}"Sounds like you have visitors, your highness."{He then dives behind a stack of books in the darkest corner of the room.}"Don't mind me, go ahead and talk to them."

Scratch looked astonished for a second, before darkly grinning at the Dragur. "Oh yes, these blades are old as the kingdoms themselves. Without any magic or fire, how do you fight? I bet they are older as your shaggy corpse!" He stiffened, waiting to see what the Dragur was going to do. He kept his other knife hidden.

The pupils of the dark king's eyes glow purple as he telekinetically prys the dagger from the draugr's grip, managing to hurl it some distance away before his magic gives out again. //I shall not die, not today...// Maldius says in his heart, lacking the strength to speak out loud.

{The draugr stabs Scratch with his own blade.}"..........Hm, how unspectacular. I was hoping you'd burst into flames or something. I don't doubt their age. After all, I only died about a hundred years ago, and I've never seen anything like these."{It begins to twist the blade cruely.}

(Maldius: Don't you dare die on me, Scratch, you're the first underling I've had in years that I've actually managed to //like.// I'll kill you if you die!!)

Lennox looked down at the two dragons before him. "A noble? He isn't an Aquilam dragon, where is he from?" Lennox let a suspicious eye rest on Doraon.

(I'm off work! My cell at 40% I'm going to catch up really quick! )

(Hey guys, I gotta go in a little bit, I'll be gone for roughly an hour, but I'll be back.)

( @Mademoinette I'm not leaving right this minute XD )

{The draugr commander is caught off guard by his weapon suddenly being wrenched from his hand.}"Oh, shi-"{The commander is cut off when the shadow wolves pull him off of Maldius and begin attacking him.}

Maldius manages a faint chuckle. //Looks like now you're nothing more than dog food.//

(Ok that's my last post, see you guys!)

The shadow wolfs attack the draugr Commander knocking him off and mauling him. Blackice shouted at the shadow dragon "GRAB HIM!!" The shadow dragon burst its wings open knocking some of the draugrs off it as it grabs Maldius.

(Bye @lilly! Hope to see you soon! :D )

Lennox looks at Ambrilla for a moment. "You are a countess Ambrilla, I respect your judgement. But how do you know his involvement with treason is untrue?"

(Bye @Lilly!)

(Haha it was so long ago I don't remember where she supposed to go for the wax seal Xp )

Scarlet shifts her scales to match her surroundings as she fly silently approaches one of the windows of the palace

Scratch let out a agonized scream as the blade dug into his scales. But still, he managed to smile bitterly up at the Dragur. "Ah, I've seen you've taken a liking to Laedere..." He noted to the blade. "But did you know that Laedere has a brother?" He suddenly moved, taking the blade that he was hiding behind his back. "I'd like you to meet Occidere!!!" With all of his might, he stabbed the blade into the Dragur's back armor. This blade was strong enough to split it. He laughed evilly, his other blade digging into his scales even deeper.

{The commander gets enraged. He roars as he rises from the dog pile, snapping the neck of a shadow wolf as he does.}"Your not going anywhere!"{He grabs onto the tail of the shadow dragon and keeps him from flying off with Maldius. The horde once again begins to pile on the shadow dragon while a few others grab Blackice by the wings and force him down.}

(I'm getting ice cream! XD )

Lennox eyed the exile skeptically. "Surely you'd want to clear your name and return home no? Why do you wish to join my tribe?"

{The draugr fighting Scratch looks at where Scratch stabbed it, and back at Scratch.}Why are you so happy?"{With a nod of its head, another draugr grabs Scratch's knife arm and twist it until a sharp snap is heard. With the blade it already possesses, it stabs and pins Scratch's other arm to the ground through his elbow.}"Look closely."{The draugr pries apart its armor plate, revealing an empty ribcage.}"Whatever you were aiming for, it's not there."{It then pushes the knife further into his arm.}

{Meanwhile, the draugrs with Nox begin to rapidly approach Lecra. However, instead of entering the forests, they land on the shoreline. Dragging Nox along, the draugrs enter a hidden cave in the cliffside. The cave is massive. Inside is a horde of assorted draugrs and a row of metal cages. Chains and all, the draugrs put Nox in one of these and lock her in.}

Lennox sighed. "I can't just grant you automatic citizanship into Aquilam. You'll need to work for it." He pauses in thought for a second. "I can allow you to stay in the city however."

Scratch screams in pain, and his other knife falls to the ground. He looks up at the Dragurs, his face a flurry of agony and hatred. "Y-you can't kill me.... I'm still standing" He dryly laughs. "You've accomplished what you wanted to do! You got her back! But I'd like to tell you that she ventured here and was willing to help us! I don't understand why you've rescued her... She will just be an even bigger problem..." He glared at them. "This was a fun fight, I may say. But sadly, I must escape...." He looked at the blade fallen on the floor.
And looking at the blade, he used all of his voice to scream "IZBUCNI!"
The knife suddenly glowed, sending an ear splitting shreik into the air. It then continued to explode, sending a flurry of snow into the air. When it cleared up, the blade was gone, as well as Scratch. The only thing to show that he was ever there was one bloody footprint in the snow.

{After the snow settled a bit, the armored draugrs look about, completely confused.}"What was that?!" ( @Turtlee is the other blade gone too?)

Noxaura doesn't show any emotion but internally she's panicking. "What do you think you're doing?!" She growled menacingly and clawed at the bars. Being stuck in another cage wasn't her ideal plan of action once she returned to the mainland of Lecra.

The shadow dragon Flats fiercely trying to get the draugrs off it swinging its tail and biting

The 3 remaining Shadow wolves 1 brake off and go's and attacks the draugr holding Blackice, the other 2 attack the horde of draugr preventing Maldius from leaving

Blackice his eyes are blank as he Roar in rage and frustration spitting up black liquid, he raised his talons and digs them into his own flesh in frustration, and calling on the darkness the wounds on him drip black blood, and start sleeping out of his scales, he Roar in a demonic tone as the ice structure around them begins to collapse sending debris falling from the ceiling, as the floor and walls giveaway.

(Ice not happy not happy at all.... e-e)

( @Aggron- Nope not yet, only the one that exploded.)

Lennox dipped his head. "When the time comes I'll be sure to do just that. Now I don't wish to be rude but I am quite busy. I trust you can see yourselves out." He picked up a stack of papers and began organizing them into their respective files.

{One armored draugr walks right up to the cage, sneering at Nox.}"What, did you think we went through all of the trouble of capturing you just to let you go? You're not well. Having two people in your head tends to have.......side effects. Consider this to be an.....um......infirmary that your staying at while you wait out the symptoms."

(Hehehe I feel so clever for using the words Laedere, Occidere, and Izbucini)

Noxaura laughed under her breath. "Symptoms, really?" She walked away from the bars and curled up in the back. "You're only going to cause more harm."

(Aww alrighty, bye Mel!)

(Bye Mel! )

{As the fortress begins to collapse, the Necromancer jumps in through the roof directly on top of the shadow dragon. Using his dark magic, he forceably removes the shadow curse, pulling the black liquid from the creature, and casting the glob across the room.}(Note: Improperly removing the curse, as it's being done here, will likely kill the original victim.)

(Bye @Mademoinette!){From the corner of the cave, a familiar voice speaks.}"If you believe we'll only cause harm, then why don't you explain to us what's actually wrong with you?"{From the horde walks Avatil.}

(Scratch to Necromancer: Seee you should've just let me kill her)

Scratch limped through the snow towards the fortress. His knife draped through the snow, getting rid of all of his tracks as he limped.

Noxaura looks over her shoulder at the draugr addressing her. "Ah, you're the queen that left their child motherless, what an honor." She last part was spoken with heavy sarcasm as she glared at Avatil.

{Avatil gets angry at this remark.}"I didn't LEAVE my child, you ignorant [not nice to call people this], I DIED! I didn't have a choice in the matter! You, on the other hand, DID abandon my son and your own boyfriend!"

The shadow dragon Roar in rage and pain as the curse was ripped from it it's body collapsed in on itself as it die.

Blackice The sound of cracking bones coming from him, as his size increase. The black blood started to freeze forming sinister looking spines along his back. Black liquid pours out of his mouth and scales, he stared at The Necromancer with Hollow eyes. "...YOU... ARE...THE...PUPPETEER?... " his voice was demonic

Noxaura sneered. "I left to protect them, because I knew I wouldn't be myself for much longer." She looked down at her burnt paw and examined her claws. "I'll be reverting back into a more corrupted mindset again soon enough."

(Yo guys I'm back! I'm glad this is still going on ^-^)

As the sun had become to rise, Mac had left Sherry and Erwen. He groggily flew back to his own room. He couldn't sleep. Never. Everytime his eyelids drifted, he would stab himself in the arm with a small peice of glass he found. All along the shoulder where his missing arm was, scratches and cuts littered the scales there.

Scratch looked back down at his bloodstained side, hoping he lost the Dragurs.

(Hi @lilly Ice is a little mmm mad right now e-e....)

(Hi @Lilly! Wb)

Maldius snaps awake, having fallen unconscious after using the last of his powers. The dark dragon quickly examines his surroundings, narrowing his eyes with curiousity as he views the Necromancer.

(Hey @Lilly!)

(Thanks you guys ^-^

@Shadow I see that e^e )

Erwen jumped and awoke, he was quite surprised he'd managed to doze off. He looked around the see Mac had already left and it looked like Sherry was sleeping well. Quietly he stood up and snuck out of her room, closing the door behind him.

(-.- I wish @Fluffy was here so I can RP as AL...)

( @Shadow Well, hopefully next RP Fluffy will be here. Besides... isn't it still in the middle of the night? Al and the others would be sleeping, wouldn't they? XP )

( @lilly there talking to one of @Aggron oc Kremos -w- )

(*Casually buying every sparkly dragon in FR*)

Mac stared out his window, his hot breath fogging up the glass. His mind was still a jumbled mess, but he remembered Erwen's and his conversation. "I wonder if she's alright" He muttered.
Ever since the battle, Mac hadn't been acting or thinking right. His eyes were bloodshot and his scales were scar-ridden and dusty. His movements were sluggish because of the last of sleep.
There was nothing for him to be happy about.

( @Turtle I recently got the most beautiful sparkly dragon ever!)

(I keep getting Guilt trippe by someone on colors to -.- )

( @Griffin- I bought 3 sparkly dragons today -w- )

{The Necromancer begins to back away upon seeing Blackice's transformation. After yelling out a few commands, the somewhat depleted horde regroups and forms a line in front of Blackice. On one side of the room is a bound and poisoned Maldius, the Necromancer, and the draugr horde. On the other is Blackice and his remaining shadow wolves. The Necromancer climbs on top of Maldius and adresses Blackice.}"That's quite the change. But, it's all for nothing! If you so much as lift another claw...."{The areas of Maldius' skin that are in contact with the Necromancer begin to slowly decay.}"...Your Master will be nothing but bones before you can get anywhere near him! But, maybe we can make a deal."{He then leans to Maldius' ear}"Call him off, unless you want me to show you the true extent of your mortality!"

( @Shadow Ahh XP And you're getting guilt tripped by someone? :/ )

Scratch limped up towards the fortress, using all of his strength to plow through the snow.

( @Shadow Whaaat? :( )

Erwen exited the inn and stepped into the empty street. He looked around with a bored expression before beginning his trek back to the palace.

( @Shadow- Is it that person who has been commenting on your dreamer photos like "She is so pretty :<" and stuff? Just ignore them. They are trying to take an advantage of you)

At first, Maldius snarls as the Necromancer stands on him, but then he watches with horror as his scales and flesh begin rotting away. Looking away from his new injuries, the dark dragon closes his eyes. "He may not obey me... he is a wild dragon sometimes..." Maldius says to the Necromancer, before raising his voice. "BlackIce... that's enough! Stop your assault and reason with him."

(Yes I have told her that I'm really busy which is true I have roughly about 40 request I have to do, and it would not be fair for me to drop them just to appease her, and she keeps saying I'm mad at her which I'm not, but I am starting to get irritated that she keeps making public hints about it, and has gotten someone asked for her @Turtlee )

( @Turtlee @Shadow: I've had the same exact problem, she's been guilt tripping me for a few months now, and is getting people to try and get me to give her one of my person species...

Sorry to interrupt, I came to snoop and saw that ^w^)

( @Shadow- Now that's dumb. Not you, she is. I mean, everyone who has a dreamer either adopted it, won it, or did an DT with you. She is just whining about not getting one. Tell her straightforward about how you feel. Don't care if she gets upset, it's her fault anyway for bothering you.)

(But that what I'm going to do @Turtlee I'm to busy anyway )

( @Blood and @Shadow- This is why I don't make personal species. Too much work)

( @Shadow That just isn't right, I feel that people who act that way don't deserve what you have to give :( It's hard though, I know.)

( @Turtle Personal species are fuuuun though.
But @Shadow, I gotta agree with @Turtle on this. Just tell the person striaght forward.)

(Late response is late : / )

(Thanks guys TwT I'm glad I have all of your support on this! *hug* )

( @Griff- I guess, but ain't no body got time for that XD
@Shadow- I hope it goes well and she stops bothering you.)

Mac looked out the window, and for a split second he thought he saw someone looking back at him. "Nox-? Ardens? Is that-" He rubbed his eyes. "Another damn hallucination.... I'm tired-" After saying these words, Mac stabbed his shoulder with the shard of glass. "I can't sleep. Never. If I do, I'll get that nightmare again-" He winced as blood began to drip from the wound.

(Gtg- see you on Saturday!)

(Aww, np @Shadow! ^-^ *hugs back*)

( @Shadow It's what friends are for! ^-^

Aww alrighty, see you next time @Turtle!)

(See you, Turtle! :] )

(Bleh I gtg real soon too, school's a big butt)

(Aww Alright @Griffin. I can still go for a good several hours, so at least maybe we can finish up with Mal, Ice, and Ardens?)

{Avatil approaches Nox's cage, irritation showing clearly on her face.}"Whatever cruel disposition your personality will assume, we can help you overcome it. However, knowing you, you'll probably just say that we don't understand anything and refuse to give us any information on the matter. Do you even want a normal life, or do you just like being a bipolar nutcase?"

( @Griff then lets wrap up your end.)

(Maldius: [to Avatil] I think she just enjoys having a noxious personality.)

Blackice "...HE...IS...NOT...MY...MASTER..." his Hollow eyes move from Maldius "...HE...IS...MEAT...." then to the Necromancer
"...YOU....ARE....MEAT!!!" He bloodlust ROAR black liquid pours out of his mouth as he charges at them both
An Ice javelin fall from the sky hitting Blackice through the shoulder pressing into the floor he Roar in rage and pain as he tries to remove it. Nanashi land next to the Necromancer his ice armored cracked and he was covered in black blood he Snorks cool air " sorry I'm late I was a little preoccupied"

( @Maldius Avatil: Heheheh, nice. XD)

(Maldius: [to Avatil] I-I... I made someone laugh... I don't know whether I should feel happy or disgusted...)

( @Aggron Alrighty, I can do that)

Noxaura growls and approaches the bars of the cage so she's face to face with Avatil. "If I had known how this would end I would have never taken this path. I can't escape this corruption, unlike others before me." She keeps back the urge to swipe at her through the bars. "And who can ever have a normal life after murder?"

{The Necromancer grins at Nanashi.}"It's about time!"{He shouts a few more orders at his draugrs. At this, the horde splits into two groups. One horde begins to drag Maldius into a different part of the fortress while the other half stays to face Blackice. The Necromancer jumps off of Maldius and talks to Nanashi.}"I was hoping I could reason with this thing, but he seems to be too far gone for that. When he charges, freeze his legs."

Maldius growls in protest, unable to resist the draugr. "What do you plan to do with me!?" he demands.

{Avatil looks right into Nox's eyes.}"Lots of dragons lead normal lives after taking lives. The difference is why. Yes, murderers live locked up, but soldiers live just fine. So do guards, even after their forced to take a life in self-defence. In the end, the deciding factor is who was killed, and why. Who did you kill?"

(Gotta brb real quick to help mom with groceries!)

Noxaura's eyes narrow as she matches Avatil's gaze. "At first it was self defense, but then...I just wanted to see how far I could go." There was a flash horror in her eyes before it faded back to an emotionless mask. "I killed to find out what would happen."

{The draugr commander appears right in Maldius' face. Most of the flesh on his body has been torn off by the shadow wolves, revealing most of his skeleton.}"Something fun, you can be sure of that, Eggplant-Boi!"

{Avatil's gaze doesn't change.}"What dragon hasn't? Just about every dragon on this land has experimented with their magic on a living creature at some point or another. But, judging by your face, this wasn't some deer or horse. Who did you kill?"

Noxaura directs her glare towards the floor. "The first were my parents, the others...who knew who they were. What matters is I found them." She hissed under her breath. "They never deserved what I did to them."

(Back!)

Maldius' eyes widen with faint horror, but then he glares at the draugr once more, snarling viciously. "You can't keep me your prisoner forever!"

{Avatil tilts her head.}"Your parents? What were their names?"

Noxaura huffed. "I never really knew them. But their names were Sorrel and Darlith."

Nanashi nodded his head at the Necromancer and reading himself.

Blackice pulled at Nanashi ice javelin he Roar in rage as he pulled it out tearing his own flesh the black blood started to freeze forming more spines he throw the javelin at the draugrs and Roar spitting black liquid everywhere he turned his head slowly to The Necromancer and Nanashi "...MEAT!!..." he charges at them in rage.
Nanashi growled and his eyes glowed as he reared up taking in a deep breath as he slams down on his front legs roaring breathing a beam of ice at Blackice, he continue to charge but was slowed down until the ice froze his feet in place. Blackice thrashed and ranged spewing black liquid from him. He stop and started at the Necromancer and Nanashi his hollowed eyes show no emotions "...YOU...HAVE...NOT...WON....NO....THERE...STILL...ONE....MORE..."

{The commander grins at Maldius, or tries to, he's missing most of his face.}"We can and will if we have to! And you can't stop us! I hear you've been afflicted with a curse. Is that true?"

{Avatil thinks for a second, then covers her mouth and looks a Nox with horror.}"Wait, they were cast out for the murder of an unhatched egg! You were that......you survived.....in those tunnels?"{Everything begins to connect in Avatil's head. She goes silent for a moment, then speaks in a low tone}".....They did deserve it.......How could they do that to their own child?"

Maldius suddenly starts laughing weakly. "Ha! Lies! I am not cursed! This is the way I've always been! I'm happy this way!" He pauses a moment to grin sadistically at the commanding draugr before continuing, "I enjoy making dragons suffer, and I am not cursed."

Noxaura's ears lowered until they lay flat against her head. "Because I had nothing, I had no magic. I was underground for ten years, alone. Because of that." She paused. "Well not completely."

{The Necromancer runs up to Blackice, jumps on his back, and like before, begins to partially pull the curse off with dark magic.//He's too big to completely remove it, but this might weaken him just enough to get him to change back.//}"Nameless One! Keep his legs frozen until he turns back! And keep an eye out for the 'one more' he mentioned!"{The draugrs close in, ready to attack if things got out of hand.}

{Avatil looks at Nox again.}"They had no right to do that to you, magic or not. You weren't even hatched yet! That's what's been guilt-tripping you? You killed two dragons that tried to kill you before you were even alive? That's nothing."(Hey, I've gtg for a little. Be back soon.)

( @Aggron Alright :p )

( @Aggron Alrighty)

Blackice thrashed violently as the Necromancer attempted to remove the curse, the ice started to cracked, but Nanashi seal it again with ice, he Cap a eye on his surroundings as The Necromancer was using his magic. Blackice thrashed and Roar in pain as he started to get weaker he screamed out in a mad rage and pain "SHE....WILL...KILL...YOU!!!"
"...SHE...WILL...KILL...EVERY THING!!!" His Bones start to crack back into place as he screamed in pain. He begin to heaves and throw up black liquid, his body trembled as the blood spines begin to shatter as he grated his teeth in pain as he finished changing back. Nanashi had to keep freezing the ice to keep him in place. Blackice stopped thrashing and was panting heavily his yellow eyes darted around the room examining his surroundings

(Hi!)

( @Shadow Oh hi, sorry I got distracted on a picture I'm working on. >.> )

(No problem I'm just trying to stay awake lol :s)

Noxaura looked up at Avatil. "No, I'm not sorry about their deaths anymore. But I'm guilty for the other lives I took, when I should have realized from the begining that I was being set on a terrible path." She looked down at the bandaged finger where the ring had been. "I could've stopped myself, but now it's too late."

(Yeah, it's midnight where I am so I'll probably have to leave soon : / )

(I'm going to eat I'll be right back shouldn't take me long :D )

(Alrighty! Have fun eating!)

(Back! Anyone still here?)

(I am present, but must leave soon)

( @Griff in that case, I'll just cut to the end by telling you what will likely happen. That way, you can continue as normal with Nox on saturday. Ok?)

(I'm still here! Wb @Aggron!)

( @Aggron Okie dokie)

(I'm back! )

(Wb @Shadow! :] )

(Hi @lilly! :D )

( it's party time! )

( @Griff This is what I had planned. Avatil was going to tell Nox to let go of the past, and to leave the dark magic alone for a while. The Necromancer would then come in eventually and talk to her, baisically saying that dark magic's corrupting properties can be controlled with sheer willpower, tell her some stories about his past, and, if she showed improvement, let her out. But, he would direct her to a remote cave in Chrysos that she could lay low at for a while and send a draugr team to watch her. You can control this team for the next RP if you wish. Would this be ok?

( @Aggron That sounds great, and honestly that would have all probaby happened after a few arguements and all that. XD

I can roll with it, but I really have to go now, so good night everyone!)

( @Griffin good night it was fun thanks for making this happen! ^-^)

(See you, @Griffin!

Unfortunately, I have to go pretty quickly as well, but I might be able to stay a little longer...)

{The Necromancer hits Bla{ckice with everything he has, then grabs him by the back of the head.}"Where's the book!"

(Bye, @Griff!)

(Actually, scratch that, I've gotta go right now :/ )

{The commander looks Maldius in the face.}"Is that so? That's not what I heard from your father and sister. Apparently, you used to turn yourself pink and speak in a funny voice! But that changed after you got cursed. Could you, maybe, do that for me?"

( @Lilly ok, I'll give you a summary of what will likely happen on your chat post by tomorrow so you can continue as normal on saturday.)

Maldius narrows his eyes, disbelieving. "I've never had a sister, and I'd never do something so disgraceful and shameful. It's all lies."

(Not sure if I can post more than this, likely not, though.)

( @Aggron Alright, it's been fun X3 See you guys!)

( @Lilly Ok, see you!)

Blackice thrashed as he " The book is MINE!!! mine my precious!!" (Sorry just had to say it XD)
Nanashi narrowed his eyes, and raised his paw, a ice sickle started to form and move up to Blackice face "he asked you a question!"
Blackice moved his eyes to the ice sickle and back at Nanashi with hate, "Its in my studies room..." he growled with anger

(Ok @lilly bye! :D )

( @Shadow Ok, what say you to finishing the interaction between Blackice, Nanashi, and the Necromancer, then stopping for the night? Also, Gollum refrence was awesome. XD){The Necromancer yells at a draugr, and it takes off towards the studies. He then turns back to Blackice.}"You mentioned that you had 'one more' minion. Where are they?"

( @Aggron so what should happen with Alfred, Nikita, and Teresa since Kremos stop them? )

( @Aggron sounds good to me!)

( @Aggron the draugr may want to pick up Ice diary as well...if you want to)

@Shadow That's right. What exactly did Alfred have in mind? 'Cause without papers, Kremos would be forced to arrest Nitika, hold her for 24 hours, and let her go outside of the border. But, we both know that this would likely escalate to a fight that likely won't end well.)

( @Shadow Oooh, a diary! Yeah, he'll pick that up too.)

Blackice laughed "she not here!! She supposed to be home....But the crazy blind one said she not...but can you really believe what he says..." he looks at them with cold eye

( @Aggron basically Alfred would have gave him medical leave papers explaining that she Is his caretaker/ nursemaid for his medical conditions, and stuff like that)

{The Necromancer becomes angry at this. He hits Blackice with the back of his hand.}"What does that mean? You want to speak in riddles, huh? We'll see how much you want to joke around with half of your flesh decayed!"{Before he can lay a hand on Blackice, the draugr returns with the dark magic book and a different, smaller book. He puts the main book in his bag and asks about the other.}"What's this?"
Draugr:"Some sort of diary. It could contain some useful information."{The Necromancer quickly fingers through the pages and puts it in his bag.}"Start talking, petty minion, (Blackice) who is 'she' really?"

( @Shadow Ah, Kremos would accept that. That's pretty clever.)

( @Aggron AL smart then he looks and he takes care if his friends XD)

Blackice side in frustration "she just my first experiment... my failed experiment.... she a parasites that feed off the life focus of others...I might be able to corrupt with my Touch, but she...she can KILL!!"he said with anger and Hate

{The Necromancer grabs Blackice by the back of the neck and forces his head close to the icicle that Nanashi made.}"Where IS she?"(Btw, is this your way of bringing Gemini to the Necromancer's attention?)

( @Aggron pretty much I would like it to come out different but the flow of the RP went this way. Ice and Gemini are connected...so yaeh)

Blackice struggle to keep his face away from the icicle " I told you!! I left her at home!! It's Southwest of Solaris in a at the base of the mountain....but that was days ago..." his voice panic he was thinking "are was it weeks...how long have I been gone?... I--I don't remember... I have never left them more then 3 days.!!." he was in deep thought

( @Aggron Ice really didn't care if she died ever )

(Ah, ok. How did you want to integrate Gemini?){The Necromancer begins to drag Blackice to where the draugrs are holding Maldius.}"Nameless, restrain him with ice."

( @Aggron this still works though.
the Necromancer should read ice diary later....he will find a lot out, but probably get more questions as well....we can seek on that later, but be glad she hasn't met her father again...it will be bad.)

Nanashi nodded.
he takes his paw and start moving them ice form around Blackice restraining him
Blackice growls in protest

{The Necromancer leaves Blackice with Maldius and the draugr horde. He tells them to guard the fortress then turns to Nanashi.}"I need to check on this 'parasite' thing. Can you make sure they don't try to escape?"

Nanashi nodded his head at the Necromancer

( Lol Nanashi still don't talk much XD)

{The Necromancer begins to walk away.}"I'll be back before morning."(Hopefully){He begins to depart.}

(Ok, now, Blackice and Maldius are in your hands, Griff knows what to do, the Kremos interaction has been sorted out. I think we've hit everything. Should we stop? Next week, you can control the draugr horde.)

Nanashi nodded and turns to face Maldius and Blackice

( Ok I'm fine with either @Aggron ^-^ how long are you going to be gone if you don't mind me asking )

(Mmm, one last thing.){The three armored draugrs that attacked Scratch enter the fortress and talk to the Necromancer.}"Sir, that other minion got away from us with some kind of teleportation spell."
Necromancer:"What? Stay here with Nameless. If you see him again, kill him!"{He then turns to Nanashi}"Did you hear that? Stay alert."

Nanashi nodded "I will be on my guard"
He was in deep thought //thay most likely trying a rescue attempt...but when?//

(I'm leaving tomorrow and I'll be back Sunday night. There might be Wi-Fi where I'll be, but no guarantees.)

(Ok @Aggron no problem I hope you enjoy your trip! ^-^)

( @Aggron are we done for the night or are we still going? )

( @Shadow Unless there's another interaction you have in mind, I'm going to call it a night.)

( @Aggron we can call it a night XD there will be plenty of stuff to talk about when you get back )

(A@Aggron good night! )

(Goodnight @Shadow. This was fun! Talk to you next week!)

(Wow, that was intense. XD It was a fun read though. I look forwards to seeing the excitement continue next RP!)
