@Aggron: Because a lot of the members here I'm friends with/in other RP's with :]

@Blood Ah, ok.

I'm not sure we have enough people to start yet, but how long should we wait?

Hi!

We're missing @Shadow, Lilly, Fade and Fluffy
I think the absolute latest we wait is until 2 (my time) so another twenty minutes.

Hi @Griffin @Aggron @Radiant @blood!

Nevermind @Shadow's here XD

I have discovered I like to be dramatic in RP XD

lol hi @Pika

Oh I might be a little slow I will most likely be RP with all my oc today lol XD

Hey Shadow!

Hellooo :>

Hmmm I wonder where Lilly is....

Hi @Shadow/ @Fluffy!
Wb @Turtle

Hey, @Fluffy!

Alright, it's getting pretty late. We should start soon. If anyone gets here late they can just hop in.

I think Lilly said she might be late today.

(Griffin) I'm ready!

@Griff Fine with me, but who should start?

(I'll just watch, I can't do anything till Lilly gets here X3 )

I can start, unless someone else would like to. :p

@Griff Go ahead.

@Aggron Alrighty

I'm fine with anyone starting.

Also, where should Ivy be now? Did Maldius have her returned to her cell after I left last week?

@Radiant I think so. And after all that work to set her free. XD

(Aggron: Yep. At least I have other characters to work with while she's stuck there.)

Erwen looked over Noxaura warily. "Follow me. We have, many things to discuss." He helped his wounded friend to her feet and lead her down the halls.
Noxaura remained silent, contemplating things until they reached a staircase. "Why here Erwen?"

Sorry I'm late, guys! Give me just a sec and I'll be fully here.

(Apparently I don't have to leave early, plans changed on me.)

(Hey @Lilly!)

(Hey! I'll be here in about half an hour!)

(Btw this cover looks awesome!)

{After flying for a while, the Necromancer arrives at the entrance of Blackice's home. He take a minute to read through his diary before entering.}

Adder landed beside a rushing stream at the edge of the forest and lowered his head to drink, tired after flying for most of the night. Every hint of sound would have him looking up, inspecting his surroundings, but there was never anyone there. //I should return to my job,// he mused. //Must gather all the information I can about this dragon, Maldius.//

Alfred look at Nikita then back to Gemini he could see black liquid starting to seat from her scales, he never seen anything like it before or read about it, but he knew he had to help her dark magic or not, he was just trying to think of a way. " we are not going, we're here to help you! "

Gemini looks at them in pain "you don't understand!! I can't hold it much longer!!" she Hunt is over and cries out in pain the black liquid dripping from her start change and being to look like butterflies,( black shadow butterflies)

Crowley was also doing a bit of late-night flying beyond Solaris' walls. He didn't expect anyone to see him, being as late as it was.

( @Turtle We're continuing with Mac and Maldy-boi, right?

And hi everyone! I'm exauhsted at the moment, so sorry if I say/do something ridiculous XP )

(Hey, @Fade! Glad you could make it!){Kremos returns to the palace, musing to himself. Absent-mindedly, he lands a level too high. He begins to travel down the nearest staircase, which happens to be the one with Erwen and Nox at the bottom.}

( @Lilly- Perfect timing, I just got done showering! And yep XP)

Ivy was back in her filthy cell in Maldius' dungeon, still unconscious after their failed escape attempt.

Nanashi set in his cell waiting patiently he knew as long as Maldius was there, an escape would be pointless he was powerless against his telekinesis.
He snorting cool air in frustration
So he waits and when the time comes he was going to make hell pay

Erwen looked distracted. "I need to get you out of here, my father is not well. He's mad at you." He paused when he heard noise at the top of the staircase.

Noxaura frowned. "Erwen what happened, what did I do!" She stopped as well when sound came from above them.

( @Turtle Awesome XP )

The dark purple dragon pauses a moment before turning back to Macgyver. "Now, am I such a terrible, heartless, monstrous creature for seeking revenge on the dragons who robbed me of both my childhood, as well as my family?"

(Oh what that right Maldius not there hahahahah!>:D )

Nitika glanced at Alfred with a concerned expression, then back to Gemini. "We have to do something! But what?" She looked down, trying to concentrate and think of a solution. "Would light magic counteract the darkness? But we don't want to hurt her..." She muttered to herself, trying not to panic.

(Maldius: Is the white kitty plotting against me!?)

( @Shadow Maldy-boi is out. Showtime! >:D){While Maldius had successfully dealt with the draugr horde, the Prowlers were still at large. One approaches Nanashi's cell from the darkness. Putting its blade into the lock, the Prowler breaks it and opens the cell door for Nanashi.}"You should get out of here, before Maldius returns."

The sounds of the Prowlers in the dungeon caused Ivy to stir in her sleep. Her eyelids fluttered, then slowly slid open. 'Huh...?' she mumbled. 'Those zombie creatures again...?'

{Kremos snaps to attention upon hearing Erwen and Nox below him.}"Hello? Who's down there?"{Kremos begins to rapidly descend the staircase.}

(You darn right he is! >:) )

Nanashi nodded his head at the Prowler
"there still the female" he walk over to her cell he didn't really care for her company but he wasn't going to leave her, and he was going to make sure nothing that stay would survive, so she had to come. He braced his paw sending a large icicles through the door of her cell, he tightened his paws and the icicle shattered leaving a hole for her to Escape through "we need to go" he said to her

Macgyver backed slowly away from him, his tail tucked between his legs like a startled dog. "No no no no.... Lennox is a good King- he wouldn't- he would never do that to- to a citizen..."

{The Necromancer puts the diary away and approaches the entrance of Blackice's home.//Twin dragonettes, fused by dark magic. One with light magic, the other with dark.// To his surprise, the cave was open. He enters carefully, taking note of everything he sees. //Toys, old food scraps, bedding for three, not two. Typical of a grieving widower.// He stops upon sensing a dark presence. He follows it up to the wall.}

Erwen stood in front of Noxaura, blocking her from the view of the stairs. "It is I, Prince Erwen. There's no need to lose your head." He turned his head to Nox and whispered harshly. "Get out of here!"

* raised his Paw

{Kremos approaches Erwen.}"Yer Magesty? What are ya doin' up this late? And who were you talking to?"

Ivy stumbled to her feet as the cell door broke open. A wide smile stretched across her jaws when she spotted Nanashi. 'Darling! You survived!' She staggered out of the cell, still dazed from the earlier battle. 'So we're actually escaping this time?'

Maldius narrows his eyes, then lets out a growl-like sigh as he stretches and lies down, folding his wings to his side in a harmless gesture. "I'm sure this news comes as quite a shock, Macgyver, but I assure you, I speak the truth. Why else would King Lennox have a documentary on ancient dark magic?"

{Upon closer inspection, the Necromancer finds that the wall is not stone, but rather, it is dark magic. He dispells it to find a stairwell leading down. Using his fire magic to light the way, the Necromancer enters Blackice's laboratory. Upon getting to the bottom, he finds a large room filled with equipment, books, notes, and a few dark magic relics. //Quite the hobby he had here.//}

Erwen growled lowly. "With the problems with Maldius my father and I have been awake around the clock." Erwen spread his wings, feigning that he was stretching.

Noxaura took her chance and darted away behind a corner, completely out of sight now.

Mac still looked scared and shocked. "W-what are you talking-" He cut his sentence short. "No- no- you are lying to me- all just lies!"

Alfred was trying to think of a solution "it might work..but I don't have that kind of magic in less if you do" he look back at Geminis worried
Gemini look at them in panic her eyes widened "RUN! RUN NOW!!!" she covered her face as she cry out in pain, black butterflies burst from her in a cloud of shadows they start to land on anything alive, and start to drainage it from life, the plant around them start to wither at the touch turning black
Alfred eyes widened "Not good!" he quickly through his self around Nikita using himself as a shield he kept his wings like a tent around her giving her enough room. The granted his teeth pain as a butterflies landed on him. He quickly messed with one of the gears on his arms and sent a Shockwave electricity throughout his body the butterflies burst and fell off him. He panting and look at Nikita "are you ok?" His yellow eyes and tubing were glowing the only light and his makeshift teepee of his wings

{Kremos squints at Erwen with suspicion, for Kremos was not familliar with this new, peaceful Erwen. Kremos is only acquainted with the snooty, stuck-up, battle-craving Erwen.}"Fine, but that doesn't answer my other question. Who were you talking to?"

Nanashi snorted cool air his he ignored her comment "this way " he started to walk down the hallway his eyes are glowing bright blue his step on the floor frosted with his touch //a Fortress made of ice...I am ice// expression was serious

"I'm fine, but we need to act quickly! Those butterflies will make it difficult to get to her..." Nitika grabbed her satchel and began to dig through it. "A potion with light magic properties... Agh, I don't know! I never knew my potions had magic in them!"
She took a few potions from her bag, "These are the only extras I have... A slumber potion, a poison cure., and..." Nitika paused when she unveiled a potion swirling with colors of bright blue and gold. "...Healing mist... My mother's recipe..."

"Hmm... what would it take to show you that I'm not lying? I could take you to the underground school where I was raised, would that be enough?" Maldius calmly observes the little dragon, Macgyver not being even half the size of his front arm. //How am I going to handle this...//

Ivy skipped along beside Nanashi, not at all put off by the dragon's serious demeanor. //What a lovely colour he is! And those eyes... I could stare at them forever!// Perhaps it was a good thing that she kept her thoughts to herself, so Nanashi didn't have to hear her.

Erwen stood tall, bringing his wings back to his sides. "Now that is my business, and mine alone. You should know better than to question royalty."

Noxaura sighed and ran off, heading towards the closest exit she knew.

Macgyver shakily nods, as he fears he'd be killed if he said no. Or worse...

(EXPELLED)

(Eyyyyyy)

(Perfect, Turtle.)

( @Turtle *applause*)

(Is it alright if I comment online for a few minutes?)

(Thank you, thank you, I know I'm brilliant.)

Alfred was examining the position Nikita pulled out of her bag trying to think of a solution "the Slumber potion might work...I doubt the cure one would have effect on her this powerful magic" he flinched as more butterflies hit him but they fell off him with his shockwaves//I can't keep this up much longer I'm using to much energy // "I dont know about what the healing potion would do" his ears switched it was hard to make out with all the flooding of the Wings but he can hear Gemini crying //I think I can make a way for Nikita to get to her it just going to take a energy, and I'm running out! //
He look down at Nikita " whichever one you pick I'll make an opening for you, just tell me when!" He could feel he was getting fatigued with every butterfly that hit him

{Kremos frowns.}"Now, you know better than anyone that you can't pull the royalty card on me, given your track record. Why can't I meet this fine, young lady?"{He stops when he hears the sound of someone running away and smiles.}"Oooh, why's she runnin, boy?"{He pushes past Erwen and begins running after Nox, lead only by her sound, as she's too far ahead to see.}"Stop right there!"

(Nanashi yes it would be best if you do so...)

The dark dragon grins faintly, rising to his full height again. "Very well, then... it's dark enough outside, I doubt there will be any dragons there... and if we do see any, I can... 'deal'... with them..." With a deep chuckle, Maldius turns toward the exit, his magical hold over the room dispelling. "Come along, Macgyver."

(I have to painting my picture for the fair I have to turn it in today, so many be slow :s )

Nitika swiftly took an empty bottle and carefully mixed the slumber and healing mist potions. She glanced up at Alfred, now worrying for his safety. "I'm ready." She said in a shaky voice, trying her best to not panic.

(BRB, need to restart my computer.)

( @Radiant That's fine with me :)

Hey @Fade! :D )

(Hi, @Fade! ^-^)

Erwen whipped around and chased after Kremos. "Leave her alone guard!" He leapt forward, landing on Kremos' back.

Noxaura didn't turn back and kept running until she found a large enough window and crashed through it. She spread her wings and flew away from the palace.

(Hey @Fade!

Alrighty @Radiant)

Mac scurried along to follow Maldius. He felt like a small squirell compared to the dark dragon.

(Good thing no one's home lol )

Nanashi made it to the main hall his icy tracks continued to spread along the floor he didn't look at Ivy the entire time walking. The sound of cracking ice echoed down the hall from where they came from

{The Necromancer begins to pillage Blackice's lab, confiscating the relics and any documents that may prove useful. He reads through some of Blackice's notes. //So, he was trying to separate his daughters with dark magic, failed, and went looking for Maldius, hoping he would help. Idiot. He would have found all the answers he needed if he just studied Conjuration. But, that's banned here in both kingdoms, so he wouldn't have known to look there anyway. Still, he must have been truly desparate to go to that creature for help.//}

Ivy slinked after him, carefully stepping over the patches of ice that followed in his wake. 'So, how are we going to escape? Is Maldius really out? Can we fly out of the fortress?'

(Looks like Mac and Mal are going on a field trip I never intended lol XD )

Using his illusion magic, Maldius turns himself invisible to all except Macgyver, and proceeds to leave the palace. Once the pale light of moon greets his yellow eyes, the dark dragon of nightmares leaps into the air, looking behind him to ensure Macgyver is following. "It isn't far from here, it's just in a nearby mountain."

(Maldius: Scratch, BlackIce, what're you two doing?!)

(Back.)

(Scratch: *Painting his nails* IM BUISY.)

Mac followed behind, going as fast as he could to catch up.

(Welcome back, Radiant! :) )

( @Turtle LOL XDDD )

Alfred nodded his head and prepared himself "Ok let's do this!!" He slung his wings open and took his hand like he was prying open a door, the butterflies acted like they had hit something and froze in place as, he moved his hands they moved with them making a Clearpath to Gemini "GO NOW!!!" she shouted at her he knew he couldn't hold them for for long

{Kremos roars in rage when Erwen jumps on his back. Using his wings, Kremos knocks Erwen off and runs to the broken window. Seeing no one outside, he pounds the floor in frustration.}"They got away!"{He then looks to Erwen.}"Prince Erwen, yer under arrest for Obstruction of Justice!"{Kremos unwraps his anchor-chain and prepares to restrain Erwen.}

(Hhhh, almost fell asleep. T-T)

Xzar hesitated upon hearing Sherry's question, not sure how to answer. For reasons he could not explain, the small dragon left him flustered and speechless, and he was unable to summon the wits that normally helped him out of situations. Xzar pondered if it was because of how similar her joyful personality was to a friend he knew years ago... he had long since forgotten that dragon's name and face, but Sherry's smile filled him with a strange nostalgia that made him feel lost and confused.
"I... have been there once or twice," Xzar finally replied, tearing himself away from his thoughts.

Nitika rushed through the clearing as fast as she could, her heart pounded violently as she skidded to a stop next to Gemini. She opened the bottle and offered it to Gemini. "Please, drink this." She pleaded, nearly choking on her own words from panic. "It's healing mist."

(Wow, the prince getting arrested by his own guard. What a day, Erwen)

Upon arriving at the school, Maldius carefully enters the premesis, staying wary of any other possible dragons. "If I remember correctly, the area I spent my life was deeper in..."

(Anyone want to be a random nightguard dragon?)

Mac lands next to him, gasping for breath. His tail droops to the floor as he stared around at the gloomy place. //I think death would have been better than going back to school....//

Erwen smirks. "I dare you, that metal won't last long." Stream was coming off his scales and feathers. "I've been dying for a fight." Erwen bared his teeth at Kremos.

Noxaura turned and looked towards the palace. "It's time to finish our plan Erwen." She grinned as her pupils turned white again.

(Lilly: I don't know the layout of the school or anything, so I'll pass.)

Crowley was on his way back to Solaris after several hours spent flying in the dark.

"Really? What'd you think, Mister Xzar? Did you like it down there?" Sherry bounces along beside the giant red dragon, oblivious to the nostalgic feelings he is experiencing. "It's a lot warmer down there than up here, huh?"

(Blackice glazed over eyes. master I'm panting Scratch nails like he ask)

They made it to a big room the ice from his feet continues to spread going up the walls. Nanashi turned and look at her his eye where cold "I'm going to break this place apart" he raised up and take his paw crunches them and bring them and pulls them to him the walls begin to crack and split

(Maldius: *facepaw*)

(Scratch: *Hands Blackice Monopoly money* You did good, you did good.)

'You're going to bring the fortress down?' Ivy asked, watching Nanashi with a flicker of worry in her face. 'Be careful you don't bring the roof down on top of us or something!' She slowly edged away from the spreading ice.

(Going back online for a few minutes, sorry!)

{Kremos glares at Erwen}"You picked the wrong day to cross me, boy."{Kremos swings his chain at Erwen, using his rudimentary thunder magic to electrify it, much like a tazer.}

(Geez Kremos, why are you attacking your own Prince?)

Xzar trudged through the sparkling snow, not bothering to check where he was heading. "Mmm, it was alright," he rumbled disinterestedly. "I don't mind the snow though." //I can barely even feel temperatures, after all,// he added inwardly.

(Whale Ervin does bad thingey and hides hrs ferried)

(Thank auto correct for that sentence)

As the two dragons venture into the depths of the school, the temperature steadily decreases. Eventually, Maldius stops in one of the classrooms, pressing against the farthest wall with his claws in various places. "It was here... wasn't it...?" He mutters to himself, "This is the coldest room... it has to be here... Aaahh, it's been too long..."

( @Radiant He's grumpy, he's tired, he just lost his suspect out the window, and, quite frankly, he's never liked Erwen. That's why. XD)

(Turtle: I'm.... not even sure what you were trying to say there.)

(GG Turtlee, I can't even begin to understand what that sentence says. XD)

( @Turtle Autocorrect is amazing. X'D )

( @Turtle: That sentence was beautiful. <xD)

( @Aggron: Lol. XD)

(BRB in a few minutes)

(Okay in a minute Imma slam my head on my Smart Keyboard and let's see what pops up)

Mac shivered slightly, even his warm body couldn't keep him from the cold temperature.

Erwen jumps back and grabs the anchor with his paws. He looks back at Kremos, the electricity hardly affecting him. There was minor surprise on his face but it shifted into a cocky grin. "You should stop underestimating me."

( @Turtle What even? XD)

( @Turtlee: I'm betting you'll end up with Shakespeare's Hamlet.)

Sherry actually goes quiet for a moment, considering what to say next, before jumping up and squeaking. "Oh! Mister Xzar, while you were in Chrysos, did'ya ever meet a dragon named Maelstrom?!"

(Here goes nothing:

Did the job get the whale I questioned loudly he did Sagan? Grape grape grape grape grape grape.
Bologna.)

( @Turtle

I can't even

*dies laughing*)

( @Turtlee: I'm crying. That was amazing. x'D)

( @Turtle
Oh my god

My life's complete I can die happy X'D )

Xzar's head snapped down towards Sherry in disbelief. //Is this dragon really what she appears to be, or is she actually some deadly Chrysos spy or sorceress sent to ascertain my reappearance?// "Certainly not," Xzar huffed, holding his head high. "Maelstrom is merely a myth, after all. Nobody has ever met him, nor ever will."

( @Turtlee: T-T My life is done.)

(As you can tell, my iPad likes grapes for some reason.)

(So sorry I had to help my dad )

Gemini had tears coming down her eyes when she look Nikita with confusion she took the potion and drink it //why are they trying to save me?... I'm a monster...// she began to cough and look at Nikita with her yellow eyes her scales colors start to turn gray form black She closed her eyes and past out , her butterflies start to fall to the ground.

Nitika looked around, watching the butterflies falling. She sighed, looking worriedly at Gemini, "I hope that helps..."
She glanced back at Alfred, hoping the life-draining butterflies hadn't hurt him too much. "Alfred, are you alright?"

Nanashi smirked at her he look to the to the roof he pulled his paws down and the roof cracked and split sending a large piece of ice to the floor in front of him the impact blew cool air in his faces. he climbed up on the deputy He spread his wings and look at her "are you coming?"

( @Turtlee You need a better Smart Keyboard. XD){Kremos grins at this. Quickly, using his earth magic, he sends a jagged pillar of stone flying up from under Erwen, hitting the prince in his underbelly with great force.}"Don't underestimate you? Don't underestimate me, foolish boy!"

"Aww, alright!" Sherry squeaks, "That's what everyone says, but I wanted to ask you, too! I wish I could meet Mister Maelstrom someday, my friends say he must be scary, but I think he must be lonely, I mean I would be if I wasn't allowed to go back home to Chrysos..." The cheerful dragonet then reaches inro her bag, pulling out another blanket and offering it to Xzar. "If you meet him before I do, even though you said no one will, can you give him this blanket and tell him it's from me, and that I wouldn't mind if he came to my house for a while to visit?"

( Blackice *takes Monopoly money* is there anything else you need? He said with his glazed over eyes)

(Scratch: *Whispers* I need a spa day)

(Back! Was playing MarioKart with my dad.)

Ivy smirked at Nanashi. 'Of course I'm coming, handsome. Lead the way.' She spread her own short wings.

Erwen gasps as the breath is knocked out of him. He falls to the ground weezing for a moment before slowly getting to his feet. "Oh I'll make you pay for that!" He lights his paw in fire and tosses a flaming ball towards Kremos.

(Gonna be slow for a while.)

"Aha, here it is!" Maldius declares, pressing something on the wall which makes a clicking noise. The wall then melts into water, revealing a hidden passageway leading deeper into the earth. The dark dragon then gestures to Macgyver for him to follow. "Here, this way, down here you shall see the place where I was raised."

( @Radiant: That sounds like fun! The only game I can get my dad to play is Minecraft, and all he does is mine up huge sections of the earth and organize the minerals he collects. XD)

(Maldius: Scratch... my fortress is crumbling... and you want... a spa...?)

Xzar sighed in defeat and stopped to take the blanket from Sherry, adding it to the bundle in his talon. "I'm sure he will be very touched," Xzar said wearily. //How many blankets can that bag hold?// he pondered idly, eye flickering over to the leather pouch. //If she greets every dragon she crosses paths with and presents unto each one a blanket...//

Alfred release the butterflies he had held and they fell to the ground.He let out a big sigh, and look at Nikita and smiled "I have been better, but not to bad..." you messed with the gear on his arm shutting off electricity //to much AL that was almost to much //
"I will never see butterflies the same way again though " he rud the back of his neck and it glowed a little. He walk over avoiding the butterflies on the floor and sat down next to the girls. Gemini's color started to fade back to White and her butterfly started to deteriorate

(Scratch: You don't know my life!)

Macgyver kept his wings to his sides, afraid to touch anything. "It's very- gloomy..."

( @Xzar It's a bottomless bag! *Illuminati theme plays*)

( @Lilly: Or it's bigger on the inside! *Doctor Who theme song plays*)

Nanashi bolted into the sky without saying a word. Spread his wings and caught the current, and only glanced back ones to see if she was coming. He landed on cliff and started at the Fortress with cold eyes

Nitika smiled at Alfred, happy that everything was okay. "That slumber potion won't last very long... Especially since I mixed it with the healing mist." She glanced back at Alfred, "I couldn't have done that without you. Thank you."

(Blackice glazed over eyes: that sounds nice we should go)

Sherry beams up at Xzar, resuming her cheerful hopping and bouncing.

( @Shadow Should we have what we had planned happen now?)

(Maelstrom: *sits upright sharply* You planned something? Behind my back? I knew Sherry was actually a spy sent to get in my life!!)

Scarlett's Ravens bagger as flying though the Forest he site of someone and lands on a branch watching the black dragon by the water
(Adder would have had training to detect that this was not an ordinary bird any probably would even know who it belongs to)

Ivy flapped harder and pursued Nanashi onto the cliff. Once she'd landed beside him, she folded her wings and began to delicately clean her claws. 'So, //No Name...// How exactly are you going to destroy it?' She smiled at him.

(Sure we can @lilly :p )

(Fade: It is fun. Unfortunately, I've gotten so good that I always beat him nowadays. XD)

"Indeed, it is... Just as I remember it being..." Maldius examines the surroundings as well, noting how some things have changed slightly. Dust has collected in several places here, and cobwebs are everywhere. The downward path gradually seems to open up into a large room--but Maldius suddenly halts, stopping Macgyver as well. "Do you hear that?" he whispers, and indeed, the sounds of many creatures can be faintly heard from ahead.

{Kremos, nearly caught off guard by the fireball, uses his magic to create a stone wall to block the attack.}"Now, I've got you on Obstruction of Justice, Resisting Arrest, and Assulting an Officer! You sure are digging yourself a deep hole, yer Highness!"{The wall shatters as Kremos sends the stone shards at Erwen.}

( @Radiant: Lol. XD I used to be a pro at MarioKart (by the standards of our friend and family circle), but I haven't played it in so long that I probably wouldn't even remember how to accelerate now...)

* dagger

Alfred smiled back at her "your welcome!
it was you potions that did the trick " he look back at Geminis he was examining her. He was trying to put the pieces together

(Fade: Haha. I'm best at Double Dash, which is the Nintendo Gamecube one... Actually, I'm pretty decent at racing games in general, though I wouldn't call myself a pro.)

Suddenly, a faint rumbling sound is heard, and the ground shudders. Looking around curiously, Sherry asks, "Woah, what's going on?"

( @Radiant I love Double Dash too, I play it with my favorite cousin a lot. Good memories. ^-^)

Mac stops, his ears perking up to listen. And oddly, he hides behind Maldius expecting him to protect the smaller dragon.

( @Radiant: Ooh, Double Dash was a fun one. I probably would be more confident in my racing skills if I hadn't quit playing videogames years ago. xP)

Having gulped down as much water as he could, Adder straightened up and prepared to leave. Before he could do so, he heard a rustling noise above him that jolted him out of his thoughts. His fighter training kicked in immediately, and he whirled around to deliver a slashing strike at whoever was behind him. Then, as he realised it was just a bird, a slow grin stretched across his face.
'No ordinary creature, are you?' he whispered. 'In fact, I'd say you look like one of Scarlet's ravens.'

Xzar raised his cyborg head and also glanced about. "Probably just an avalanche or minor earthquake," he guessed, although he couldn't help but feel a little unsure. Neither of those happened very often in the mountains.

(Fade: Luckily for me, I've been playing games nonstop since I was a little kid. Actually, I don't know whether that's a good thing or not. XD)

Erwen narrowed his eyes and used telekinesis to stop the stone shards in mid-air. He turned them and launched them back at Kremos. "I'm getting tired of playing, I have business to finish."

(Lilly: Nice to see someone else who's played it. It's probably my favourite racing game, as well as one of the games I'm best at.)

Adrianne ears folded back as she heard the noise she moved closer to Sherry "stay close to me" she was I'm sure if it was an earthquake or an avalanche coming

( @Radiant: Hmm, depends on if your gaming skills benefit you at all. Can MarioKart get you into college? XD)

Maldius lowers his head as he advances forward, using his illusion magic to make both himself and Magcyver invisible, as well as hiding both dragons' presence. The dark dragon steps forward... then lets out a quiet gasp. "No... All this, years after I killed him..."

The large, circular room is full of draugrs, each being frozen in various places, their eyes pure black. They seem to be herding three disfigured, horrific... creatures into different rooms, as if by routine.

The Raven tilted its head and squawk at him, it picked out one of its bracelets and drop a stone and look at him
(Put the Stone in water)

(Fade: Most likely not, but I still play them because they're fun. XD)

{Upon clearing out Blackice's lab, the Necromancer notices an area covered by curtains. He pulls them back, and sees that the wall is covered with mad scribbles. In the center, is the name of Blackice's late wife, and a location. //Hmm, her grave, perhaps? I can't check that now. I need to check back with the Nameless One.// The Necromancer departs and heads for tge Frozen Wastes.}

Nitika looked back at Gemini, "...Whoever this is has dark magic it seems. If I remember right, Teresa had light magic...
They're like opposites. It's so strange." She shook her head, "It seemed like she couldn't control her dark magic. I don't know the effects this could have on her, but I feel that I should go gather more potion ingredients, just in case..."

Adder watched the raven for a moment longer before silently picking up the stone in his claws and placing it in the water.

Macgyver shrieked and hugged his shaking tail. "I thought this was just going to be a normal field trip!"

(Oh Ms. Frizzle....)

(I may have to go in another half-hour or so.)

(Mel!

Aw okay @Radiant)

A picture of Scarlett appeared on the reflection of the water, as she on her end was looking into a pool looking at him.
she smiled "my.my long time no see" she said teasing like

{Kremos covers himself with his wings as the shards hit him.}"Buisness?! Here you are, turning on your own guard all because of some random female you didn't want me to see! What buisness could be this important?"{Kremos rears up, uses his magic to cause a portion of the ceiling to collapse downward above Erwen.}

Adder gazed back into Scarlet's eyes through the reflection. 'Scarlet. Why are you contacting me?' he asked, not reacting to her teasing tone of voice.

(Yeah, a field trip with the most powerful dragon in Lecra who tried to murder the king sounds normal.)

Maldius quickly uses his magic to muffle Macgyver's shriek, but he instinctively grabs the little dragon's snout. "Shhh! We musn't let them hear us, M-Master must not know we're here..." Something seems odd about him, though... he looks... almost as terrified as Mac.

(Hey @Mademoinette!)

Alfred nodded "yaeh I think your right " he look at Geminis and back to Nikita "do you think you be ok looking for the stuff?" He didn't really want to leave Gemini and he didn't want to have Nikita out alone ether

(Hey, @Mademoinette!)

Mac let's out a juggled complain as Maldius clamps his mouth shut. His eyes look around wildly, wondering what the heck is going on.

*Muffled not juggled

(Hey, @Mademoinette!)

(JustContinuingThisCommentChain--)

"I'll be fine." Nitika smiled, "Besides, you need rest after all of that." She turned to examine her surroundings. Remembering the plants she'd read about in the book from the Solaris Palace Library, she ventured into the forest.

Erwen uses his telekinesis again to create a wall between him and Kremos with the collapsing stone. With an opening now available he spreads his wings and flies up onto the floor above.

Sherry obediently hops over to Adrianne's side, but lets out a sharp squeak as an ice-encased rock hits her on the head, several more following. The rumbling of the ground quickly intensifies.

(Hey @Mademoinette! :D )

Scarlet's look at one of her claws "oh I was just curious" she looks back to the reflection "you have such good ears, you might have heard something oh interest " she smiled

Xzar, no longer able to trust his balance due to the violently shaking ground, spread his wings and hovered in the air. //What is going on?// he pondered frustratedly, head swiveling around in search of an answer to the madness.

'I've heard a lot of things lately,' Adder replied in a low voice. 'I'm sure even you've heard of the dark dragon that's been sighted in Aquilam.' He didn't mention that he also knew the dark dragon's name, and had seen him as well.

{Kremos growls in frustration as he breaks through the wall. He begins to pursue Erwen through the upper floor.}

Erwen, still in flight through the cramped hallways, finally found a balcony and used it to get outside. Now in the open air he bagan flying towards the main entrance of the palace. From the corner of his eye he could see Nox following his lead.

Alfred he pointed to his ear to. "if you need anything JUST HOLLER I'LL PROBABLY HEAR YOU!!" He shouted as he lost sight of she he waived his hand at her. He looks back at Geminis and looks to his bag and start digging in it

(I just searched for Maldius on Google's Image Search and got a picture of Hatsune Miku and a white cat.)

Maldius releases Macgyver's maw, turning back to the draugrs, and then to Mac again. "Look, is this enough proof to show you I'm not lying? Necromancy and magical experiments in a hidden part of a school!"

( @Lilly: Why?? XD I just tried searching that too, but all I got was a bunch of photos of resorts in the Maldives...)

Mac flapped his wings in urgency and fear. "OKAY OKAY I believe you! Now please don't kill me!"

{Kremos jumps off the balcony, and begins to fly after Erwen, swinging his chain. But, as he did this, he caught sight of Nox.}"Wha-hey! Noxaura! I need to talk to you!"{He stops pursuing Erwen and starts chasing Nox instead.}

Nitika explored the forest near Solaris, making sure to plan out her way back to Alfred and Gemini once she was finished. She swiftly crawled around the trees collecting any plants she thought she might need. //If only I had found a potion-brewing book... Maybe I could've gotten more info on local plantlife...// She thought to herself.

( @Fade I was curious! XD I got that at first, too, but then I tapped on "Search instead for Maldius" instead of "Showing results for Maldives" XP )

Adrianne "SHERRY!" Panic in her voice she quickly grabbed Sherry as ice and Rock began to Tumble down the mountain she goes to take off, but her mechanical part slowed her down as the debris hit her clipping her wings she toaster Sherry on a ledge just before the rock and ice Came Crashing Down on her...

Noxaura looked over her shoulder and turned to face the oncoming Kremos. She gave a side glance in the direction of Erwen and began fleeing again.

Erwen noticed Kremos' attention go elsewhere and sped up his flight until he had landed at the entrance. As he walked inside he was shocked to find his father standing in his way.

( @Lilly: Ah, I forgot to tap on that. xP I see the white cat, but no hatsune miku. There are a number of paintings of Maldius though, not sure if you saw them?)

"I wasn't going to kill you!" Maldius sighs, "Let's just get away from here... this is a truly terrible place... and if Fayveer's here..." The dark dragon shudders, then turns to the exit, trying to walk as quickly as he can without breaking into a sprint.

( @Fade I did, but Miku and the cat were more worth mentioning XD )

Scarlet lead down close to the pool "why yes... I have indeed " she had a twisted smile "he has caused quite the commotion though not enough Bloodshed for my taste" as she plays with her dagger

( @Lilly- Mac's about to do something that will make Maldius very angry. Are you okay with it or do you have other plans?)

( @Turtlee Go for it XP )

{Kremos begins to fly faster after Nox.}"Hey, wait! You're not in trouble, I just need to ask you some questions!"{This was a lie, of course, but Kremos was getting tired of having to chase everyone he met.}

Mac looked up at Maldius. "Wait!" He yelped before Maldius could get to the exit. "I need to tell you a secret, so lend me your ear." He wanted the dark dragon to put his head down so he could whisper something to him.

Xzar whipped around from where he hovered when he heard the panicked shriek, just in time to witness Adrianne vanish beneath the rocky avalanche. Without thinking, Xzar tucked his wings in and dove after the cyborg dragon, but he pulled up just before he reached the torrent. He knew better than to jump in, lest he also get sucked away, so he instead scanned the area below him, searching for a sign of the stoic dragon.

Sherry screams as she's thrown onto the ledge, quickly getting up and watching the scene with horror. "ADRIANNE!!"

Adder narrowed his gleaming crimson eyes. 'Bloodshed is not everything,' he replied. 'How much do you even know about this dragon?' He doubted she knew more about Maldius than he did, but it was worth his time trying to get some information out of her.

Maldius hesitates, looking back to the draugrs with worry, then lowers his head down to Mac. "Alright, just hurry up! What is it?!"

Noxaura smirked. "I'll stop if you catch me, guard!" She made a sharp turn and began flying towards the moutains.

Erwen backed up slightly. "Father...I was actually coming to look for you." He looked down, avoiding eye contact.
Lennox narrowed his eyes. "I know."

Alfred pull out one of his tubes of liquid and sat down he opened the panel on his arm and removed an empty vial, and replaced it with a new one she signed and closed his the panel again, he took out his book and pulled out a paper //I got to tell dad and auntie about Maldius // he wrote on it and Drew some ruins and folding it into an origami bird and threw it in the air and it took off in the directions of Wyvane

Mac leans in to whisper in his ear, but quickly takes his anklet off with his wing, immediately setting his hand ablaze. He punches Maldius' eyes with the fire, it probably wouldn't cause anything severe, but it definitly left the dark dragon with stinging eyes. Macgyver flew as fast as he could to the exit, and with all of his might he slammed the old metal door shut. He took off toward the Capitol, hoping the doors would keep him locked inside even though it was highly unlikely.
//Evil king or not, I have to warn him that Maldius is here! Maybe, maybe we could catch him!//

(Just making sure Maldy doesn't get back to his evil fort as the prisoners escape X3 )

(Hoo dang, Mac's in for it now.)

After the Avalanche was through and calmed there was no sign of movement or life among the debris

( just as a warning I'm not against killing my oc for the sake of a story, though it has to be on my terms ...you all have been warned...)

Nitika darted out from the forest and back to the clearing where Alfred sat with Gemini. She crawled over next to him and sat down. "Okay, I collected a few ingredients...
Not that I know exactly what all of these do..." She mumbled the last part, while diligently grabbing several potion brewing materials from her bag.

( @Shadow: Noo, you can't let Adrianne die..!! QoQ)

(Kole: Other than Ivy and Nanashi breaking out of the fortress and Mac punching Maldius in the face, I haven't been paying a lot of attention to what every character is doing... not enough to summarise, at least.)

Scarlet stretched "well just so you know I have met him. He as quite entertaining... though I think I'm better at killing things than he is" she dragged her talons to her

Xzar continued to scan the area, and even at one point dropped onto the settled debris and dug as deep as he could, but he finally gave up and flew back towards Sherry. "She's gone," he coldly informed her, teeth grinding. //How did I ever get into this? I don't even care for these two travelers!//

Erwen stood tall and looked at his father in the eyes. "Father. I challenge you for right to the throne."
Lennox's expression changed to shock but he changed his stance into a fighting position. "Very well." He darted forward and bit into Erwen's wing.

Maldius roars in outrage and flinches from the unexpected attack, his former fear being replaced by wrath, but the shock also caused him to lose his grip on his illusion magic... "TREACHERY!!!" the dark dragon screams, as the draugrs nearby quickly turn and charge at him.

Adder restrained the urge to sigh. //Even for an assassin, she is far too interested in killing.// He looked back at her and said, 'You've met him and you're still alive? That's almost disappoining, considering I heard that this dragon is an insanely powerful dark magic user.'

(I need to go, shall we continue this conversation next time?)

{Kremos sighs.}"Really.......they don't pay me enough for this."
{Just then, one of the draugrs that was assigned to watching Nox flies up from below Nox and tackles her out of the sky.}"HOW LONG DID YOU THINK YOU COULD HIDE?"

*disappointing

Mac flew as fast as he could, continuing to spot Kremos flying not far ahead of him. "HELP!" He cried to the unreconizable guard. "MALDIUS! HELP ME PLEASE!"

(Haha I've been involved with my other oc X3 )

Nanashi raised his paws as loud cracking and popping sounds coming from The Fortress Ice began to shoot out from the inside as the walls start to crumble, Nanashi turned and started to walk into the mountain "let's go "
The crack continue to move towards the Fortress

Sherry looks up at Xzar, her heart still racing as tears begin streaming down her face. "What... do you mean...? She... she can't be gone, she can't...!" The tiny dragonet leaps away from Xzar, trying in vain to dig through the snow in search of her caretaker. "Adrianne... Adrianne...?"

(Ok let's get Ivy and Nanashi away form the Fortress, Adder and Scarlett's conversation we can continue later, and she wasn't given the nickname bloodlust Scarlet or blood-stained Scarlet for no reason)

Ivy turned and hurried after Nanashi.

(I'll just say she's following him after I leave.)

Noxura screeched in surprise as the draugr attacked her. "No, no please! I'm not finished!"

Erwen dug his claws into Lennox and tossed him off. He lit his claws on fire and swiped at his father's chest. His burning talons left singed gashes in Lennox's scales.

(Nanashi will not be pleased lol )

(He's going to have trouble getting away from her. XD)

(Maldius: Erwen no, I want to be the one to kill him!!!!!)

(OK guys, I really have to head off for today. I might check in later to see what's going on. See you all!)

{As the Necromancer flies towards the Fortress, he sees it crumble.}"Wow, Nameless must've gotten sick of Maldius."{Seeing Nanashi on the nearby mountain, he lands near him.}"What did I miss?"

(Alright bye @Radiant!)

(See you, @Radiant!)

{With Nox being attacked by the undead and Mac screaming his head off about Maldius, Kremos was caught in a temporary state of confusion, in which he was unsure what to do first. //Nox equals books//Maldius equals primary target//Priorities conflicting Error!//Error!//}

Silently, Xzar stood and watched as Sherry tore desperately at the snow and earth, but after a moment, he approached and locked his large jaws around her neck. He dragged the crying dragonette back onto sturdy ground and released her before gazing into her eyes. "Give it up," he rasped coldly. "She's gone, and you know it. Admit that fact or you're eventually going to destroy yourself with a lie."

Alfred smiled at Nikita when she returned "that was fast! "

Gemini's started to moves her eyes open up slowly then she jumped up in a panic and look around seen the dead plants from her butterflies, She tucked her tail around her and turned her head away from Nikita and Alfred "you probably have questions about this...About me..." she look at her arms and seen there wear white again

(Bye @Radiant!)

Mac was scared of dying. And that's what would happen to him if Maldius caught him. Or most frankly everyone would die if Maldius caught him. He grabbed Kremos but the shoulder, not even noticing Nox. "Please Kremos! It's me, Lennox's royal advisor Macgyver and I NEED YOUR HELP!"

Sherry looks into Xzar's eyes, but doesn't reply. Instead... she falls forward, leaning against the red dragon's front leg as she cries hysterically...

Lennox winced in pain and brought a paw to his wound. He growled in anger and lashed out at Erwen, the force sent his son flying into a nearby wall.
Erwen struggled to get up. He threw a few fireballs Lennox's way only for them to be blocked.

Nitika suddenly stopped digging through her satchel. She sighed in relief when Gemini woke up. "Yes, of course we have questions...
If you don't mind me asking... Who are you?"

{As they reach the ground, the draugr begins to drag Nox away.}"Too bad. You shouldn't have run. Now, come along."

{Kremos snaps out of his confusion!}"M-Maldius, right! Nox can wait! Where is he, Mac?"

Nanashi watch was the Necromancer landed and snorted cool air. he look back to the direction of the Fortress as it starts to fall and crumble into the crack " someone else has Draugrs other then you...they had black eyes..."
He turned and look at the Necromancer " and they came for Maldius"

Noxaura began throwing a full out tantrum. She thrashed around trying to loosen the draugr's grip on her whilst screeching at the top of her lungs.

(I swear to god this is the saddest scene ever. I imagine Sherry as Bambi when he finds out his mother is gone ;-; )

( @Radiant bye!!! It's was fun!)

( @Turtlee That movie always made me cry as a kid. ;-; )

{The Necromancer stops at Nanashi's words.}"Black eyes? You're sure? Tell me everything that happened while I was away. The fate of this land may depend on it."

Mac didn't have time to loose. "F-follow me!" He thought for a split second at the 'Nox can wait' statement, but he shrugged it off. He began to bolt back to the school.

Xzar scowled down at Sherry but did not move, knowing full well that any efforts to regain his personal space would be pointless. //What am I supposed to do with her?// he thought as he watched the dragonette weep. //I can't just abandon her - she no longer has a guardian to protect her. I can't drop her off somewhere either - to commit such a heartless action towards her in her current state would be death.// Not sure how to comfort her, Xzar continued to sit in silence, listening to Sherry's choked sobbing.

{With a nod of its head, the draugr dragging Nox signals two others. These additional draugrs grab Nox and begin to help drag her.}"Stop, dear, please! You're embarrasing yourself!"

( @Turtlee: Oh my goodness. XD
Bye @Radiant!)

Lennox shattered the floor beneath him and sent the shards of stone towards Erwen. Just like how the fire was blocked, so where the shards.
Erwen glared in his father's direction and used his telekinesis to toss him into a wall.

Noxaura stopped struggling and looked at the draugrs with tears in her eyes. "I //need// to be there, he won't stand a chance!"

( @Turtle that's cruel ;-;)

( @Griff- IDK I just imagine it DX
Bambi, along with Lion King, is my favorite animated movie of all time)

After a moment of hysterical sobbing, Sherry calms down enough to speak. "But... who's going to help me get back home now...? A-and... will Miss Queen Pherial let me stay in Adrianne's house...? I don't know how to make all the heavy things she makes, I don't think I can..." The little dragonet snuggles up to Xzar, curling her tail and wings around his arm.

( @Turtle Oh my gosh same! Those are my all time favorites!)

{Kremos follows closely behind Mac}

{The draugrs stop dragging for a moment.}"Who won't stand a chance?"

Gemini kept her head turned away from them "I'm a monster..."

Alfred looks at her with sadness "that's not a name"

Gemini glared at him
"Im a heartless monster that has to kill to survive!"

Alfred get up and walk over to her and grabs her hands and looks her in the eyes "a heartless monster wouldn't have left the city or try to Warren their friends"
Alfred did a warm smiled "if your site not going to give me a name I have one for you..."

Gemini eyes start to welled up with tears "you don't understand...after everything i am..." she turns her head away

Alfred "it's ok, princess" he smiled at her warmly
Gemini start crying "my name is Gemini...." she said quietly she looks back at him tears falling down her face

Mac landed at the entrance of the school. He stared up at the closed metal door. "He lies behind there... I trapped him here." He stated to Kremos. "We need to figure out what to do before he bursts the door open. And when he does, we will be dead. I kinda punched him in the face...."

(Gonna brb for dinner real quick, I'm starving!)

( @Griff- Ahhhh Ive watched each of those two movies at least a million times! That's why Deer and Lions are my favorite animals X3 )

Noxaura lowered her head onto the ground. "Erwen is challenging his father. He's strong, but not strong enough."

Lennox brought himself to his feet, the blood loss begin to make him slow. Lennox glared at Erwen and brought the wall behind him crashing down and pinning him.

(Alright, @Lilly! And sorry for the late replies, I suck at keeping updated on two RPs at once. xP)

( @Lilly ok.){Kremos thinks for a moment.}"Macgyver, go get the other guards. We'll need everyone to bring him in."

Nitika stayed silent for a moment, seeming to realize what all had happened. //She can't survive without absorbing the life of everything around her... Is that the effects of her magic?//
She thought to herself before shaking her head, "You're not a monster, Gemini. You're our friend."

{The draugrs look at each other worriedly, then one departs.}"Don't worry, dear. We'll handle this. No one's dying tonight."{The draugr flys at top speed towards the palace, signaling all other draugrs in the area. At the scene of the battle, Theseus comes running in from a hallway behind Lennox.}"Good God, man! I know your son can be a prick at times, but that's no reason to kill him!"

Xzar cringed as Sherry snuggled closer still, and his gut twisted in dread upon hearing her despairing words. A scowl played over his face as he considered abandoning her, but finally, he heaved a long sigh and shut his eyes in submission. He detatched the dragonette from his foreleg and rasped, "I'll take you back home. But don't expect me to stick around afterwards," he warned.

The door suddenly explodes in a burst of bright purple flames, heavy footsteps gradually coming closer as two glowing yellow eyes glare from the darkness.

(Back XP )

Mac nodded, and flew away again. It took him a few, but he finally got to the kingdom again. He roamed the halls, frantically getting the guards to stop being lazy and help him.

Lennox stops and turns towards the draugr. "Why are you here!?" He quickly brings his attention back to Erwen as he burts out from under the stone.
Erwen lunged forward and tried to sink his teeth into Lennox's throat. His father pulled him off and pinned him to the ground.

( @Lilly That's quite an entrance.){Kremos backs up at the sight of Maldius.}"Mac, run!"{Kremos readies his chain.}

{Theseus speaks angrily.}"I never left! You just forgot I was there! Now, I'm wondering what the hell you think your doing?"

(Scratch that post, Mac is still at the school)

Lennox growled and looked up and the draugr. "Defending my title, I won't lie down and let him win."
Erwen took this moment of distraction and kicked his father off. He crawled away and eyed Lennox with with fury in his gaze. "You're going to die either way, so why not now?!"

( @Aggron Quick question, is Kremos an "essential" or "unessential" OC?)

( @Lilly o.o oh no

Mac looked terrified, but he didn't run. "I can't just leave you here!" Although he tried to act brave, he still hid behind Kremos.

Nanashi explain the events after the Necromancer left " there eyes pitch black, like a bottomless abyss. and they spoke as one.
Maldius seems to not know what was going on, they spoke to him like he was a disobedient child they came of the 'puppet' they said....they took him and vanished,
Me and the other *he gestured at Ivy* had to fight the a red wingless dragon, and the black demon, though one of its *he's stop himself before calling Casta abomination in front of Ivy * minions turned against him,...
Maldius returned strength renewed he he used his powers to stop us, though his demeanor was off at times...he seem to have some concern for the red dragon...he also gave the black demon earring that made him submit, before they though us I'm the cells" he snorted "ice cells"

(I'll end up writing a novel so he will basically tell him the in portant stuff I hope that was all lol)

( @Lilly- I give you full permission to beat Mac up XD)

( @Lilly Unessential.){Theseus just stands there, dumbfounded.}"That's it! I give up! What did I expect to happen, trying to civilize a bunch of wild, feral lizards! You're all hopeless! I swear, Avatil was the only civilized one, and now that she's gone, the rest of you suck!"{Just then, a horde of draugrs rush in and get between Erwen and Lennox.}Random draugr:"Stop this! Now!"

( @Aggron Oohhhh boy.

@Turtle There's no way I'm killing Mac, but I doubt he'll get through this with few injuries... XP )

Mac looked up at the glowing eyes of Maldius. "Um- Stop right there! You are um- under arrest...?"

Sherry sniffles a bit, looking at the ground. "Okay... thank you, Mister Xzar... but we should probably tell my friends in Aquilam that I'm going home..." She pauses a moment, wiping away tears, before asking, "Mister Xzar... you... don't like me... do you...?"

Lennox struggled against draugrs but to no avail. "Don't you dare speak about Avatil, don't you dare!" He used his tail to swat some of the draugrs away.

Erwen roared in frustration and flew into the air. While his father was distracted he focused his telekinesis on a guard's spear that was left on the ground. Erwen narrowed his eyes and brought the spear into his grasp.

( @Fade Sorry for not replying earlier :c )

{The Necromancer thinks for a moment, then speaks to Nanashi.}"That's not good. We're done here. I must return to Lecra. I think I know who's behind this, but I'm not sure. You can accompany me there if you wish, but you do not have to if you don't want to."

Gemini look at them with confusion and doubt. it was odd for her to hear her name called from someone else...it was years since her father even called her by that name, she was the only one who used it, and the thought of having a friend, it confused her //why would they care for me? After what happened...they don't understand... I'm a murder....// she look at them and see the sincerity they had "i--I don't deserve friends...I will only hurt you...//

( @Lilly: It's no problem! I have to switch to online btw, sorry)

Dark laughter echoes from within the school. "'Arrest?' //Me?//" Letting out a nightmarish roar, Maldius breathes a Mystic fireball at the two dragons before charging toward them, purple lightning crackling around him dangerously.

{Upon seeing this, Theseus pulls a blade out from under his robes. With a mighty throw, the blade pierces Erwen's spear hand. A few dragon draugrs jump up, grab Erwen, force him to the ground, and pin him.}"Stop! Maldius is at large, and you decide to fight amongst yourselves?! Idiots!"

( @Fade Alright, I don't mind. :) )

Xzar stopped himself from rolling his eyes. //Nobody mentioned road stops...// he gazed down his snout at Sherry's tear stained face, considering how he should answer her question. "I don't," he stated rather flatly. "You barraged into my life when I did not ask you to and got me involved in a load of complications. But," he added after a pause, "I don't hate you."

Erwen glared at Theseus. "I'm doing what must be done." The spear was up and suddenly flying through the air.
There was a groan of pain and Lennox fell to the ground with the spear protruding from his chest.

{Kremos jumps out of the path of the fireball.//I have to stop him.// Kremos swings his chain and, with a sweeping motion, uses it to wrap Maldius' legs in an attempt to trip him up.}

Nanashi looks at the Necromancer and then to Ivy know she would probably follow "If you Still need my assistant I will come "

Sherry goes quiet for a moment. "... I'm sorry, Mister Xzar... I... You don't have to come with me... I understand... I can find my way back to Aquilam myself..." she says, before turning and slowly starting to walk away, tail dragging in the snow.

Nitika looked at Gemini sympathetically, "You don't mean to hurt anyone, though. I can see that." She coiled her tail around herself as she spoke, "A life without friends is a lonely one, and no one deserves that."

{The draugrs stop moving at this. Their eyes flicker, like a flame in the wind.}Theseus:"You........you don't know what you've brought upon yourself.........We can't guarantee your safety anymore.......Fool....."

Mac attempted to move out of the way of the fire, but he tripped. The flame brushed against his wingtip, burning him. He yelped, but continued to attempt to attack.

{The Necromancer turns away.}"It could help if what I fear is true, but only if you want to come."{The Necromancer takes flight towards Lecra.}

Xzar rolled his eyes before trudging up to Sherry, thumping her flank with the side of his head as he passed, although not too roughly. "I don't go back on my words," he informed her before dropping down to one elbow and flattening a wing. "Now climb on or you get to fly the whole way. The offer ends in ten seconds."

Erwen watches as his father goes limp, the life in him gone. He turned towards the draugr Theseus. "It had to be done." He pushed the draugrs holding him down off and stood up. But as Erwen stood a wave of pain went through him, he crumpled to the ground and began crying out.

Gemini start crying more at Nikita words she covers her face not able to speak as tears running down her face.
Alfred pulls her into a hug
"shhh.shhh it's alright " he said Softly
He reaches over and grabs Nikita arm and pulled her over to
(Alfred group hug! )

Using telekinesis, Maldius causes the chains to explode, and then he slams his foreleg into Mac as the little dragon attempts to attack him. Growling deeply, the feared purple dragon then manipulates the earth beneath Kremos, causing a large spike of stone to burst from the ground beneath him.

Nanashi spreads his wings and takes flight following the Necromancer

(Come on Erwen, Sherry's already lost her guardian, and now you've killed the dragon that reminded her of her father? She's going to be reeeaaaallly upset at you.)

Mac let out a squeak as he shot backwards, slamming into the wall. He groggily stood up, and then saw the spike. "KREMOS! LOOK OUT!" He screamed

Sherry looks up at Xzar before silently climbing onto his back. She casts one hopeful glance back to the place she saw Adrianne disappear, then turns her head away before she cries.

{Knowing what was coming, the draugrs took cover. However, Theseus did not. He just stood there, half laughing, half sobbing.}"Well, here we go again. This is how the world dies."

( meanwhile Blackice is serving Scratch well he's having his spa day. Would you like another drink? What color for the little umbrella this time? " he said with glazed over eyes )

{Kremos tries to dodge, but the spike still catches him. Now wounded, Kremos lies helpless, bleeding on the floor.}"I-Isabelle, Karen,-I-I'm sorry........"

Erwen's screeches became louder as light began obscuring him from the surrounding draugrs. With the sound of cracking bones his shrouded figure began to grow.
When the light finally faded, Erwen's transformation was complete. He stood up and stretched his limbs, blinking a few times and moving his extra set of legs and larger wings.

(Scratch: *Smiles* Red please! The color of blood! *Hands him Monopoly money*)

"KREMOS!" Mac darts forward, tears streaming from his eyes. "No no no- You can't- don't die on me! PLEASE!" It was his fault. He dragged him here. And now he was going to die.

Nitika silently hugged the two of them, feeling a tear or two welling up in her eyes.

(Geez so much death.)

(Wow Adrianne, Lennox and Kremos. Wowie kezowie)

Maldius pauses a moment, grinning as he slowly approaches Kremos, his eyes gradually stop glowing. "Isabelle? Karen? Hmmm... now who might they be? You mate and child perhaps? Oh, I've killed so many dragons just like you." Grabbing Kremos' head in his claws, the dark dragon twists the guard's head enough to look him in the eyes. "And now, like the rest of them, you can die knowing that everything you've fought for, everything you've struggled to save, was for nothing."

(Sorry for disappearing. I lost control of my body, which decided to go and make a hot fudge sundae. 'XD)

(Erwen's new crudely made ref is up :p)

(Oops, my post was a little slow.)

Macgyver backed away, horrified. "No no no no this is just a dream- a sick nightmare... This isn't happening..." There were bruises around his chest and side, and his lip was bleeding.

(Everybody is dying, and Blackice is at a spa resort, having his nails done.)

( @Griff Kremos might not die. It all depends if Maldius decides to finish him or not. @Mac If you want to save him, start making a lot of noise, like now.){Theseus just stands in front of Erwen. everywhere the light hit him, burned him to the bone.}"You idiot. You've doomed yourself, and everyone under you."
{Azureus comes walking down the hall.}"Erwen? Lennox? Are you.....AAAAAAAAGH!"{She screams at the sight of Lennox's body.}"Erwen! What happened?"{She runs to Lennox, not even paying attention to the draugrs.}

(Welcome back, @Fade! And well, Adrianne got nommed by the mountain, Kremos got on Mal's bad side, and I guess Erwen decided it was a good day to kill his pappy.)

After checking that Sherry was on his back, Xzar unraveled his wings and took to the air, immediately directing himself towards the Aquilam Capitol. "You said you had friends in Solaris?" he asked Sherry over his shoulder. "You'll have to direct me to them. And we're not staying long," he added.

Erwen shook his head and looked up at Azureus. "Azureus...I, I'm sorry. I had to do it." Tears were welling up in the corner of his eyes. He glared at the draugrs. "I suggest you all leave before I turn you to ash."

{Kremos looks Maldius straight in the face.}"M-monster! Don't touch them! *Cough* Don't you dare!"

"Well, I've made lots of friends in the palace... there's Mister Ardens, Mister King Lennox, Prince Erwen, Mister Mac, Miss Azureus..." Sherry says, holding tightly onto Xzar's back.

Mac looked at his feet. "No more cowardice.... I'm not a coward." He shot forward, his eyes blazing and his hand ablaze. He clawed at Maldius with all of his might.

{With a wave of his hand, Theseus and his draugrs begin to leave.}"Have fun dying kid. This kingdom will eat you alive."

{Azureus looks up at Erwen with complete look of grief.}"You did this!? How could you? Erwen, how-{Azureus breaks down sobbing over Lennox's body.}

Feeling Mac's claws attempting to pierce his scales, Maldius growls faintly, releasing Kremos' head as he uses telekinesis to throw Macgyver into the air, then slam him forcefully into the ground.

Xzar let out an exasperated groan. "I should've seen that coming," he grumbled to himself. "We're not visiting all of them. Pick three, then we're heading to Chrysos."

( @Lilly: Lol, I suppose so. XD)

Noxaura looked to the draugrs that were still with her. "I need to get to him. He'll need help understanding his new powers."

Erwen stepped towards Azureus. "He was dying anyways, he was suffering." He looked down at his fathers body with faint grief in his expression.

Sherry thinks a moment before replying. "Well, Mister King Lennox is the one who gave me permission to visit Aquilam, so we should go see him... and I'd really like to see Mister Mac and Miss Azureus..."

(Alfred I think a lot of people need a hug right now...*hug*)

Gemini wasn't sure what just happened, her father would hug Teresa, but not her she remembered a time when she wanted a hug so she took over when her father hug Teresa, and he hit her for it, but this was different someone gave her a hug she wasn't she how she was supposed to feel, but she didn't want it to stop.
After hugging for a while Alfred look at Gemini and smiled he let her and Nikita go, but haed Gemini hands " Gemini we are here for you...no matterwhat " he look into her eyes
Gemini tear-stained face went a little red she nodded and look down
Alfred chuckled "do you what a honey drop?" He smiled at Gemini and Nikita

{The Necromancer quickly lands and speaks to Nanashi.}"Wait here!"{The Necromancer phases through a dark magic wall and enters a large cavern. Handing the dark magic book to a draugr along with the cursed ring, he summons Zygoren.}"Zygoren, come here!"

Macgyver felt a bone, possibly his rib, crack as he made impact with the ground. "What are you doing, Maldius? Attacking two weak, unimportant dragons. I thought you wanted to kill the king? The only thing this did was slow you down...."

(Man, Sherry's gonna be a wreck when she gets back to Solaris. :c )

Zygoren's spirit appears before the Necromancer. "You called for me, sir?"

Nanashi nodded and waits

"You say they are all from the Palace?" Xzar asked. //That makes things easier.// "Very well then." Tilting his wings, the disguised cyborg swooped in the direction of the stony towers of the Solaris castle, which protruded from the city like knives.

Nitika let go of Gemini and Alfred, but stayed sitting close to Gemini. She smiled at Alfred, "That sounds nice about now."

(This RP is so funnnn)

Maldius turns fully away from Kremos to grin maliciously at Macgyver. "Oh, I just love making dragons suffer, besides, I have plenty of time to kill Lennox... or maybe I'm just giving my Master a new draugr."

As soon as Maldius finishes speaking, a cold wind rushes past the dragons, coming from within the school. The sound of several dragons' footsteps echo as well... are more dragons coming forth from the depths of the school?

{The draugrs with Nox just keep leading her away.}"What new powers?"

{Azureus looks back up at Erwen through tears.}"But, he was your father! Did that mean nothing to you? In your mind, you just....put him down like a sick puppy? Is that the kind of rule we can expect from you?"

{The Necromancer binds Zygoren to a dragon draugr.}"Come with me. We're going to pay Fayveer a visit."{The Necromancer walks out of the cavern.}"Take me to the school, Zygoren."

Macgyver hears footsteps, but just grins weakly.
"Then do it." He hissed.
"Kill me, end my suffering. Right here please." He pointed to his neck. "Killing us won't do nothing, and what you said is true, then Nox probably killed him already. I hope she did, it's fun watching you fail. And do think," he spat. "I was afraid of you. But now I see, you are just a big coward too scared to fix his own problems...."

Noxaura followed the draugrs. "I knew Erwen was different, it was so obvious. He will have new magic abilities, if he wins."

Erwen thrashed his tail around in frustration. "So I get lectured for doing the same thing he did?! My father wasn't the pure hearted, benevolent king you believed him to be."

Alfred took his bag and got out his
honey drop and hands them to the girls, and put one in his mouth and smiled
Gemini took it and look at it for a while she seen Teresa eat one, but this was the first time for her // I don't deserve this...// she slowly put it in her mouth

Scratch lay in the rubble of the fort,clinging onto the life he had. He would be dead, but he wasn't. His daggers glowed beside him, illuminating the icicle embedded in his still breathing chest.

(Scratch isn't going to die, I promise.)

"Oh, you're not the one I was talking about." Maldius smirks faintly, turning back to Kremos. Once again grabbing the wounded dragon's head, Maldius twists his skull around again... but this time, he only releases him once a sickening, snapping sound is clearly heard.

( @Griff Umm, did Lennox kill his predecessor too?){The draugrs kept leading Nox.}"If he wins, there won't be any point in keeping you for very long, as he likely wouldn't banish you as Lennox would."

(Maldius: Good, I need both my servants DX )

{Kremos was unconcious when this happened, sparing him from the pain of his death.}( @Lilly So, he killed Kremos. I hope Maldius can handle the consequences of his actions.)

Nitika popped the honey drop into her mouth, the taste reminded her once again of her childhood.
She then realized how similar she and Gemini were. It was a bit of a stretch, but she knew the feeling of being a threat to those who loved her.
"In a way, I'm just like you." She muttered, glancing over at Gemini.

( @Aggron Yeah, Lennox's father was a corrupt leader)
Noxaura looked towards the ground. "I apologize for breaking my promises so soon. But with everything happening you can't blame me."

Mac smiled. "Oh goodie, another useless undead soilder for your stupid 'army'" He coughed, his broken rib causing pain to streak through him.

Blackice was moving some of the debris away from Scratch
he was covered in his black blood still from the fight earlier he look at the red dragon with his glazed over eyes

"Thank you..." Scratch hissed. He stood up, the icicle protruding from his chest. "Don't question why I am alive. It's a quite closely guarded secret..."

( @Griff Ah, ok. Thanks.){Azureus speak with an uncharcteristic tone of anger.}"Perhaps not, but you didn't have to take his path! Two wrongs does not make a right!"

Maldius laughs, looking down at Macgyver. "Ahh, you sound just like your father. I wonder if you'd be just as willing to serve me after years of torture." The dark dragon leaves without waiting for a reply, and leaps into the air, flying back to his fortress.

Just after Maldius leaves, several draugrs with abyssmal eyes come from within the school, silently carrying Kremos' body and Macgyver into the depths.

Zygoren nods, quickly leaping into the air and flying toward the school his son was raised.

(Hnnnng, so tired... I hate shopping for hours at a time. T-T)

Gemini look at Nikita in surprise and disbelief //how can someone be like me?... she only be kind me, and my sister...// she rud her arm not sure how to ask "what do you mean Your like me?"
Alfred look at Nikita to and continue to eat his honey drops

( @Lilly: Were you hoping for Maelstrom to show up on the scene wih Maldius, or should we save Sherry and Xzar for next week?)

(Hmm, I'm sorry @Fade :/ Also, do you want to just skip to Xzar and Sherry landing in Solaris, or what?)

Macgyver snarled at the beast. "Watch my wing!" He barked. "The polish I used to clean my scales costs more than your will to live!" He hissed. "Oh wait, YOUR DEAD!"

Blackice just watched and stood there
(Give me more Monopoly money...)

Erwen growled but quickly silenced it. "I can protect Aquilam from Maldius, from anything now!" His claws were leaving marks in the ground, proving he was frustrated.

(Oh wait, Maldius just left.)

The draugrs do not reply to Macgyver. They do not even look at him.

( @Fade I dunno, what do you think we should do? XP )

{The Necromancer takes to the air.}"Quickly, Nameless One, this way!"{The Necromancer follows Zygoren.}

{The draugrs with Nox speak.}"We know you care for Erwen, so no, we don't blame you. You'll see him again soon, we can promise you that."

(Oh wait (again), was Maldius at the school this entire time? Sorry, I am so tired. TuT)

Nanashi follow after him

( @Fade Yes, he was XD )

Macgyver grumbled, feeling insanely grumpy. "Oh, night very chatty are you? Will singing help? Sing with me! 'I've got a lovely bunch of Coconuts, dee-didly-dee!'" With every beat, Mac drums on the Dragur's head with his talons.

( @Lilly: Ah phooey. XD Well, maybe they can arrive at the Palace once matters are settled with Erwen and Azureus? I don't want to interrupt anything that's going on. xP)

"Well..." Nitika paused, nearly regretting her comparison. She took a deep breath, "A long time ago, I hurt someone on accident. It was terrible, and my family never saw me the same way again. In fact, I never saw myself in the same way either. I thought I couldn't be around anyone ever again, until one day, someone reached out to me... We became friends, and they helped me a lot..." She hunched back, feeling nervous, "I guess, what I'm trying say is... I understand how you feel."

( @Fade Maybe we should just continue Sherry and Maelstrom next time, seeing as you're so tired. :p )

Noxaura nods. "Um, if you wouldn't mind me asking. What's happened since...uh, I've been gone." She looks around worridly. "I can't remember much."

(Mac is the greatest 10/10)

{Azureus looks up.}"I-I just-I-I can't deal with this right now!"{Azureus runs out of the palace, sobbing uncontrollably, and flys away from Solaris.}

( @Lilly: If that'll work out best, then I suppose so. xP I'll just spectate until I head to bed.)

(Mac is by far my favorite character in this RP <3 )

The draugrs still do not respond. Once they reenter the hidden part of the school, they carry the living and deceased dragons down a hallway and into another large room, in which an icy grey dragon sits at a table. Hearing his draugrs arrive, the dragon turns to face them. Even the slightest movement he makes results in a crinkling sound, as if his body were frozen on the inside. His head is entirely encased in ice, lacking eyes, and strangely transparent. (cont.)

Draugr to Nox:"You haven't missed much at all. Basically nothing's happened since you left."

The ice dragon approaches the draugrs, and, using his Necromancy, he binds a different soul to the guard's body. He then turns to examine Macgyver closely.

Erwen watched Azureus leave. He looks down full of guilt and approaches his father's body. He sat down and let his tears fall. "I'm so sorry father." He pulls the pearl necklace off Lennox's neck. "I didn't want you to suffer anymore."

Noxaura still looked uncertain. "If you say so."

Landing at the entrance of the school, Zygoren notices the fresh blood and purple embers that still are smoldering. "Necromancer... my son... my child was here... It would seem as thouh he left just before we arrived..."

Gemini look at Nikita she never had anyone try to understand how she felt. She look at the candy In her hands "you had someone do the same for you...that you are doing for me?...to see you different...then" she didn't finish her comments. she pick at the candy In her hands

Mac growled at the weird Ice dragon. "Touch me, and I burn your face off you ugly Popsicle!"

(For anyone who's curious, Fayveer's theme is "Xehanort" from Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.)

{The Necromancer picks up some of the blood on his claws. //This is fresh//}"Nameless One, before we go in, here's a little known secret about killing draugrs. The trick isn't hitting vital organs like you would with a living opponent. You need to break them apart. Tear off limbs, wings, and heads. Or, better yet, freeze them, then shatter them. The more they lose, the less dangerous they become. Now, let's go."{The Necromancer enters the school, expecting the others to follow.}

Fayveer seems to completely ignore Macgyver's threat. "Hmmmm... Weak. Small. Easily manipulated, and with a curse similar to the puppet's. A fine specimen, truly. You should be easier to work with than the others. Little dragon, tell me your name."

Nitika nervously swished her tail from side to side. //It must be hard for her... I have so many more questions that I'd like to ask, but I don't want to pressure her...//
"...Do you like the honey drops? They're one of my favorites." She gave her a warm smile.

(Mac's theme is "It's a Beutiful World" by Tennyson. It's a great and calming song, you guys should check it out X3 )

{As Erwen sits in front of his father's body, Avatil comes through the entrance.}"Oh......No......."

As Fayveer spoke, Mac seemed to be drained of his confidence, fear replacing its spot. "My name Is Macgyver." He said shakily.

Zygoren follows the Necromancer, memories coming back to him as he examines the school. "... It's almost like the night I tried to save him..."

Erwen turned his head slightly to the entrance. From the corner of his eye he could see Avatil. "Why are you here, mother."

Gemini look at the candy "there sweet....." she put it in her mouth "
I guess I like it... I never have candy very often"
Alfred widened "you DIDN'T get CANDY!...we have to fix that!! What's a life without candy!! Just unheard of!!" He quickly dug through his bag and pulls out several other bags of candies and other types of sweets and hands them out. there was chocolate and marshmallows, candy Rock (you name it he probably had it )

"Macgyver. I see. Though, your name will matter little once you go mad." There is no hatred in the ice dragon's voice, neither is there any wicked glee. The tone in his voice is just... cold. "I am Fayveer, Advisor in life to King Lennox. I am the one who created the husk you call 'Maldius' at the King's decree," Fayveer states matter-of-factly, giving absolute sign of lying.

Nanashi nodded understanding what the Necromancer said
he shakes and his armor forms on him and follow

(*absolutely no sign)

{Avatil also starts crying.}"Theseus told me what happened. I.....didn't want to believe it."{Avatil walks over to her dead husband.}"Why, Erwen?"

Macgyver tried to keep the shakiness and worry out of his voice. "Oh, you're the mastermind behind that wonderful science fair project, huh?"

"Woah, just be careful to not eat too much!"
Nitika laughed.. She snorted a little as she laughed, causing her to quickly cover her mouth, along with her cheeks turning a little red. //Well THAT'S never happened before.//

{The Necromancer continues down the hallways until he reaches the secret passage, still open from when Maldius came through. Walking through, he sees the draugrs ahead and signals his group to stop.}"Get ready!"{He whispers}

"Yes," Fayveer replies. "Out of all my many experiments, Maldius has been my greatest accomplishment, though as of recently I have been trying to create a solution for some malfunctions that have appeared in his system. You are the fourth specimen I shall be experimenting on."

Erwen shook his head and covered his face with his paws. "Maldius would have killed him, and he wouldn't have been merciful."

Nanashi nodded

( @Aggron Just curious, but are dragon draugrs capable of weilding magic? I'm just curious as to whether or not Zygoren would be capable of using lightning magic.)

Macgyver tried to use sarcasm and humor to forget that he was in a life or death situation, and the dragon he dragged along had been killed. "Oh boy, I-I can't wait to tell my future dragonets about how I was held hostage by a disfigured frosty the snowman...."

{Avatil turns her head with a pained look.}"Perhaps, but now, your subjects will be less willing to follow you. You're going to have to deal with Maldius quickly in order to gain their trust. If you don't, they will think that you just killed your father for power."

( @Lilly Normally, no. I did this so that the draugrs wouldn't be too OP. But, I can make an exception for Zygoren if you want.)

Gemini did a small smile at Nikita and look through the assortment of candy and pick out some chocolate and started to nibble on it
Alfred start singing " You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got troubles, and I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and can see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me..." in a pleasant voice

(Ah, I gtg! :/
Bye everyone! It's been fun!)

Erwen turned to fully face Avatil. "Then I will defeat him, or assist in his defeat." He narrowed his eyes. "The only way he'll ever succeed is over my dead body."

(Aw alright, see you next week @Fluffy!)

(Ok @Fluffy I will have to go soon to :( it's getting late and I have work in the morning )

Not picking up on the sarcasm, the ice dragon replies, "Unfortunately, while your dragonets would make for valuable research, I doubt you will ever have any, seeing as you will not be sane in roughly two to three days." Fayveer lifts Macgyver off the draugr's head, placing him on the nearby table. On the said table are various objects, several black gems, sharp, cutting tools, a stack of books with notes from previous experiments and also various types of magic, a disfigured dragon's skull, various potions with disturbing scents...
Not even turning to his draugrs, he commands, "Leave me be whilst I work. Kill any intruders without mercy or discrimination."

The draugrs turn and leave without a word, including the Kremos draugr.

Macgyver's heart rate increased. He wasn't prepared for this.
//Is anyone looking for me? Does anyone notice that I'm gone?//

( @Aggron No, it's fine, he doesn't need it, I was just curious XP )

Zygoren glares at the draugrs ahead. //Perhaps... in this way, I can avenge you, my son...//

Fayveer grabs Macyver's front paw, examining the anklet, testing to see if it can be removed whilst feeling for magical properties. "Enchanted anklets created to subdue your curse, I presume. Where, might I ask, did you obtain these?"

(Late, but see you @Fluffy!)

Macgyver was startled by the dragon touching his Anklet. "Someone gave them to me!" He said quickly.

(Good night everyone I have to go now )

"Who gave them to you?" Fayveer calmly slips the anklet off of Macgyver's wrist, examining it closely. "Objects such as these are very problematic, especially if one was applied to the puppet. This merits further research."

(Night @Shadow!)

(Aww, alright, goodnight @Shadow!)

( @Mac just hold on, help is on the way!)"Once I engage them, attack."{The Necromancer becomes a smokelike mass. In this form, he creeps along the floor, under the draugrs. Quickly rematerializing behind them, he forcably removes the souls of two of them, causing them to turn to ash.}

Mac growled, but then realized lying wouldn't get him anywhwere. "I don't know who, and I don't remember. All I know it that they are enchanted to repel fire from my hands an regulate my body temperature. Without them I'm more likely to burn someone. So watch. Out."

( @Shadow Goodnight! See you next time!)

"Intriguing," Fayveer muses, putting the anklet aside to study later. "While you were with my puppet, did you notice any odd behaviour or manner of speech?"

Several other draugrs emerge from the hallways, instantly charging towards the Necromancer with weapons made of ice. Others turn and run down different hallways.

{Avatil, still crying, adresses Erwen.}"You had better! Make sure your father didn't die for nothing!"

Mac quietly eyes his removed anklet. "Well, he seemed really- uh- well he talked about his 'master' a lot. He definitly wasn't in a good mood, then again I did punch him in the face..."

Erwen turned away and examined the necklace in his claws. "If he truly didn't want to die he would've stopped me, cursed or not."

{The Necromancer uses Flame Cloak, then sends a wall of flames at the draugrs, melting their weapons and setting them ablaze. He then charges them, blade in hand.}

{Avatil gets up.}"Please, hold a wake for him, then give me the body."

"I see. Did he show any unusual signs of fear or distress?" Fayveer picks up one of his books, placing it on the table beside Macgyver and opening it to a page he recently has been writing in.

Erwen sat in thought for a moment. "That'd take a few days to coordinate. And after that, why would I give the body to you?" He eyed the undead dragon suspiciously.

Mac narrowed his eyes in thought. "Well- he looked scared when he heard footsteps. And he freaked out when he saw the Dragurs- if that's what you mean." He sighed, his hurt side still in pain.

{Avatil wipes her tears.}"So we can be together again, of course. Also, there's a few things I need to "talk" to him about."

The draugrs whose weapons have melted stand their ground, waiting for the Necromancer to close some distance before dodging and attacking. From the other hallways, three monstrous dragons charge down the halls, chasing the draugr that went back there.

Zyoren leaps into the fray, charging at one of the mutated dragons.

Mac heard distant and silent bumps that seemed to be coming from upstairs. "Am I hearing things or is someone up there?"

Erwen looked away in guilt. "Yes, of course. I'll make sure it's seen to immediately." He takes the necklace and wraps it tiggtly around his arm. "The tribe needs to know who their new king is as well."

Fayveer lets out a disgusted growl as he reads from his book, uncaring if Mac tries to read from it as well. "He is starting to malfunction more frequently, it seems. His old memories and personality are resisting the magic I enchanted him with before he was born. This is a major obstruction to my personal objectives."

(Oops, I was slow. I guess we can just say Fayveer ignored that.)

Mac grumbled as Fayveer read the book. "Uh what are you going to do to me? I don't really like surprises..."

"I am going to see if I can change your curse to the point you become uncurable, then apply the same technique to my puppet. In essence, make you soulless, stripped of personality and memory." Fayveer explains casually.

Mac's spine tingled. //I won't be missed anyway... But I guess this is it. I had an okay life I guess...//

The cold necromancer pauses a moment before continuing, "Afterwards, I shall attempt to inhabit your body, like I tried with the former three. The others have failed, however, but I have made considerable progress, I have high hopes that I can inhabit your body."

{The Necromancer deftly doges one draugr, cuts off its head with his blade, then pins the other to the wall with the blade. He then removes its soul and traps it in a soul gem. Picking up the blade, he turns to face the others.}

{Avatil nods and walks away. Not outside, however, but deeper into the palace.}

"Wow, you sound exited..." Mac grumbled. "My body is useless by the way. Thought I'd warn you."

Erwen watches his mother leave before calling out to the medics. He gave them a few brief commands and left. Many seemed shocked to find their old king dead but quickly obeyed orders.

Two of the corrupted dragons target the Necromancer, slashing away at the draugr in their way. Zygoren has managed to climb onto the third's back, biting and tearing his claws into the dragon's neck as it flails around.

"Oh, I don't plan to use you for very long, I just need to discover a way to enter another dragon's body, so I may eventually inhabit the puppet. I likely will discard your body once I'm through with you." Fayveer reaches his frozen talons out to grab Macgyver's neck, but then pauses as he finally hears the commotion.

( @Lilly really quick, what do you mean corrupted dragon? You mean cursed, like the shadow beasts?)

( @Aggron Sort of, they're more like Mac if his curse went crazy and they didn't have the mental capacity to resist it.

Writing for Fayveer has me stuck using intelligent sounding terms XD )

( @Lilly Ah ok.){The Necromancer slides underneath one corrupt dragon, slicing its underside the entire way, then jumps on the other's back and begins to rapidly decay its flesh.}

Mac hissed, attempting to beat the cold temperature Fayveer was creating. "Watch it, will you?" A bit of fire puffed from his mouth as he spoke.

The first dragon crumples to the ground, shrieking, while the second tries its hardest to shake off the Necromancer.

Fayveer pulls his talons away from Macgyver, listening carefully and ignoring his subject. "... Hmmm... we have company..."

(I can't sleep till this battle is over :B )

{The Necromancer, after decaying a fair amount of flesh off of the creature, breaks a few ribs from its now exposed ribcage. Reaching in, he pulls out its heart and dismounts the creature. He then attacks the third beast with Zygoren on top of it, slashing the backs of each of its limbs to bring it to the ground.}

(Are you all going to still need Mac?)

As the final dragon falls to the ground, Zygoren quickly slashes its neck with his claws before stepping off its writhing body.

(Well, I hate to say it, guys, but I have to get going :x )

(Same, can we continue this next week?)

(Yeah I gotta call it too.)

( @Turtle That's fine with me :) )

{Seeing no other hostiles in the immediate area, tge Necromancer pulls out his captive soul. Bending it to his will, he commands it to speak.}"Where is your master, puppet?"

(Aawwww, ok, @Lilly. Will Mac be saved in time? And how is Fayveer alive after all these years? Find out, in the next exciting episode of The Dragon Society! [Insert closing theme music.])

( @Aggron pfft XD

Alrighty, well goodnight guys!)

(Goodnight, everyone! This one was a lot of fun!)

(Wow, so Lennox, Adrianne and Kremos are all dead now? Things are really starting to get serious.)
