I don't know when these normally start, but I'll see if I can drop in around 7-8PM my time.

Hey! It's quiet in here.

* whispers* yeah! Hey Fade! Sorry TvT

Hey guys! I'm actually not as busy as I thought I'd be, I just have to finish the next SKeys cover and then I'll be good to go. I'm planning on introducing a second character today XP

Heya Lilly!!

Hi!

Yo

OK, is there anything I need to know about this before we start?

I'm having problems with my wifi right now.

Hi! :D

@Crowley

Pretty much is a city on all four sides of it is different terrains, one side is the ocean the other side of mountain, another side Forest, and the last is a desert, beyond that you can make it up as you go, this world is open to pretty much any creatures

No colors just acting up

(Shadow) Alright, thanks. Now I just need to think of a character to use. XD

That's always the hardest decision xD

We are at Lowe's so I can talk for a moment before getting back to work

I might be switching between DS and browser comments at random moments, and I might also be working on drawings, so excuse me if I'm ever slow.

I'm thinking of using either #RRArminus or #RRCherry or someone else I haven't decided yet. XD

Hi Blood, Crowley and Shadow!
(my wifi is atrocious)

And hey everyone!

(Belated greeting.)

Hello! Mythic, Crowley, Blood, Lilly , Fade!

Hello!

How is everybody?

Alive, how are you?

I'm doing good. Just finished dinner. XD

I'm good! In the middle of a blizzard.

I'm ok my butt a sleep from sitting in the car while my mom's at Home Depot now but other then that I'm ok (until I get home 'xD)

I always find it so interesting because we all live in different places and time zones xD
it's going to be over 70 today and it's lunchtime for me

What countries does everyone else live in?
I'm guessing most of you are American. XD

Hmmm i think next time I'm going to try and have a different cover for the RP

It's lunch time for you? Is 1 for me. It's probably nice out today. Maybe around 10 degrees or so.

I'm American Westside

Western Canada. The best I can describe my zone without giving of too much.

Ooo cool! ^-^

I'm on the other side of the world from all of you. XD

Ahh Sorry guys I got to go now, I ho, I ho I'm off to work I go
:P

Alright, see you later!

Alright! Goodluck Shadow!
You do? What country if you don't mind me asking?

(Myotis) The UK!

@Radiant
That's awesome! (Secretly wanted to go there XD. )

(Myotis) You should come here someday, it's great if you don't mind rain. XD

@Radiant, I love the rain! Even if it rains for days. I'm used to it since the weather where I live is rather crazy X)

I'm in Ontario, Canada.
I mean ya can say your province, you're one person out of the hundreds of thousands living there.

Yeah, some people I know have insane weather where they live. It might rain a lot here, but we don't tend to get blizzards, tornados, hurricanes or anything like that. XD

You love in Canada to? I'm over in Alberta.

Like me yesterday! X'D

I'm on the far eastern side of America. I think I'm closer to Radiant than the rest of you. XD

(Fade) Maybe if you stand at the edge and shout really loudly, I might hear you? XD

Is it cold where you are, Mythic?

(Hi everyone by the way! I don't want to list names or I'll miss somebody. 'XD)

BRB, going to make some hot chocolate and than I'll probably have to get back on my DS.

@Radiant: Maybe. My sister's a lot louder than me though. She should try instead. XD

Yeah I do @Mythic, born and raised uwu

Hi Fade

Ooh, save some for me Radiant! jk XD

I'm gonna take a nap while roleplays are still waiting to be started. See you all in a bit!

The only think I'm not a fan of where I live, are the Chinooks. But i love the storms! I love the severe thunder storms the most!

Alright! I'm all done with the cover, so I'm free to RP for a while. I'll have to help clean the fish tank, but we'll do that later.

How is everyone? :)

@Fade, actually it hasn't been all that could for the past couple of years. It was cooler this year though. Only as low as -25℃ not really cold.
@Blood, I was simply born and being raised in Alberta. I've noticed that there are a lot of severe T- storms in Ontario during the summer. How are they?

Hey Lilly! Welcome back! I'm decent actually. Kinda hot TvT

Thanks Mythic! I'm pretty cool XP

We have gotten a few snowstorms in summer before, it's quite odd, but doesn't surprise me. I use to live in Saskatchewan, I plan on moving to Vancouver or Toronto.
Have you ever been to the West Edmonton Mall?
@Mythic

Hey, Lilly.

I'm good to RP whenever everybody else is.

I'm ready to RP!

Fade leaves to take a nap, then people are ready to RP X'D

Hey Blood and Radiant! :D

You're welcome Lilly!

@Blood, I've wanted to go to the West Edmonton mall but I don't have the time to go there, nor do I live in Edmonton. I've heard that there are water slides and even a rollercoasters. Have you been there?

Hi Lilly

@Mythic, No never been, I've heard the same and it sounds exciting. I really wanna go

@Blood, it does sound pretty exciting!
I also had a few bouts of snow mid August. Last time that happens was actually last summer. (Forgot to add this part)

I'm probably going to use another character for the rp, but I don't had a ref for him. But I don't know who I'll rp with using Eltanin.

We haven't had heavy snow here in years, I don't remember the last time we did.

I'm still not sure what character I'll RP as. I'll just jump in once I have someone. XD

Lol, alright Radiant XP

So, are we gonna start soon?

(I'm hiding :s)

(Uh sure
lol Shadow)

I would start but I know as soon as I do I'll get pulled away again :s

(I think we should start!

We left off with Phantera, Moon, and Claw chasing Spirit, and I'll throw in my newest addition too)

(I'll use #RRCherry for now, might add someone else later.)

(I'll use #BHRaven since Airiah and Tobias are with @Shadow's characters)

(Hey, I made it in time! XD Should I be on the DS?)

(I might use #RRArminus later if I need him, he needs more development even though I use him in my own RP. XD)

#LSSherry bounces through the city, humming a joyful little tune and occasionally taking a bite out of a peach. She smiles at everyone and everything she sees, today being another wonderful day, just like every other day.

(Fade) I dunno, I think everyone except Lilly is on the browser right now. XD

(Lol alright. Sorry Lilly! 'XD)

(SHERRYYYYYYY)

(Welcome back, Fade! X3 )

@Lilly What are we gonna do without Ash?
Depending on if/when I'll send in Eltanin, he'll either be in his human form or perhaps his dragon form. I'll have to think about of i want to keep him away from Spirit and start a new RP chain with someone else, or put him in with Spirit.

WEE BAB!!
Hi Fade! X'D

(Here, I'm on my ds now)
#BHAiriah in her excitement, had gotten separated from Von, she ran around the city excitedly looking for someone new to play with.
----
#BHRaven wandered the outskirts of the city, he had one of his metallic ravens on his shoulder as he ate an apple.

#RRCherry sat down beside a small brook at the edge of the forest, wanting to rest a while after she'd been walking for hours. After a cursory glance around to ensure nobody was sneaking up on her, she lowered her muzzle to the icy-cold water and began to drink.

(Looks like everyone's in the city.)

(I'll start off with #FGHack)

Soaring on the desert winds, Hack Stillwright approached the great city, his blue-green wings rippling in the morning air. "Hmm, where to stop first?" the Deia murmured to himself, squinting at the first line of buildings that came into view.

(Not Raven)

(That's alright, Fade XP

@Mythic Well, either we could just say that Claw follows along quietly, or we could just put that scenario on pause for now. I guess it's up to you :p )

(We can be DS buddies, Blood! XD )

(Yay x))

(Radiant: You want Hack to find Cherry? He doesn't do well with dragons, but that will only make things more interesting. XD)

(I threw Raven in incase anyone wants to interact with him, but he's kind of a more evil character than a good one)

(Fade: If you're up for that, then sure!)

(Thanks Lilly! Hi Mythic! ^^)

(I saw that Fade)

Hack circled over the city for some time, following the streets below with his eyes. Eventually he got bored of the activity and began to float toward the outskirts beside the forest. Looking down, he spotted something big, shiny, and shockingly pink. Overwhelmed by curiosity, Hack grinned and descended toward the object. //Ooh, I wonder what this is?// he pondered in excitement.

(Shh, she already answered so it's good. Maybe I'll send Hack to Raven after a while. B-) )

I geuss claw could follow close behind. There is a chance I'll throw in some bad Latin. And mind the fact that Spirit shall preferably be known as 23 from now on if you don't mind.

23?

(Fade)

Cherry lifted her muzzle from the streambed, splashing drops of frigid water everywhere. She could've sworn she'd heard wingbeats in the distance. //Probably a bird... or a dragon,// she thought, but the slight nervousness curdling in her stomach wouldn't dissipate. She rose to her full height and glanced up, trying to spot whatever it was above the trees.

(Lol you can always use more than 1 character Fade)

(I wanna interact with Raven sometime later too, but probably with a different character.)

Yup! TvT

( @Blood: I would use another but I don't know which one to use. XD)

(Maelstrom!)

Reaching nearly tree level, Hack circled above the pink object, still trying to figure out what it was. "A plant? No, maybe something living. A rat? That's one big rat. Maybe it's a type of forest creature that I haven't seen before?" The Deia frowned, scratching his head in thought, then finally swooped around and landed in a forest clearing a small ways upstream from the pink object. Walking his bird-like feet, Hack crept nearer.

(Oh my goodness, Raven vs. Maelstrom would be epic. *^* They're both mechanical and slightly evil...)

(Does Hack have horrendously bad eyesight? XD)

(Alright, that's fine with me, Mythic :p 23? Are you changing Spirit's name?

I would love to see you use Maelstrom, Fade, but I know you're not done with him yet X'P )

(It would, I still have to finish designing his armor lol)

(Lilly! Cherry and Airiah let's do it xD)

(Fade)

Cherry whipped around as she heard the faint scuffle of footsteps not too far away. She couldn't see anything through the close-growing tree trunks, but the noise was unmistakable. The last thing she wanted was a fight, so she allowed herself to creep backwards and snap out her wings, ready to take flight at a moment's notice.

From deep in the mountains came lumbering a gigantic beast, although hardly a creature at all. It was more of a machine - half of its body was constructed of shimmering golden plates, and smoke fumed from a fiery furnace in the dragon's chest. Raising his metallic head, Maelstrom gazed at his surroundings through the glowing red lightbulb that served as his left eye.

(Sorry about Sherry/Cherry's names being one letter apart, I didn't intend that. XD)

(Im sort of changing her name. She prefers 23 but her given name is Spirit. Plus 23 sounds more mysterious in my opinion >:)
So we left off were Spirit hid in a cave with a small opening while Phantera, Claw and Moon were chasing her down because they thought she was a hunter or spy.

( @Radiant: Ah, I forgot to say that he couldn't see her clearly through the tree branches. XD But yes, his sight is not the most impressive.)

( @Lilly: Eh, I'll just wing it. XD)

The sunny little dragonet eventually bounces to Airiah's location, and instantly becomes highly curious about the other fluffy dragon. "Hi miss! Who are you?" Sherry squeaks.

(I'll change where he is/what he's doing)

Raven soared through the sky in his bird form, deciding it would be more subtle than a giant dragon winding through the air. His metallic birds followed him in a swarm of screeching metal (Not as loud as you'd think, but the sound is definitely noticeable). He shot through the mountain range on powerful wings, not noticing anything yet.

(I would have posted that sooner, Blood, but I've been having bad internet trouble for days now X'D

@Radiant That's alright, I never intended for that, either X'P )

Airiah jumps when Sherry bounces over to her, her feathers along her spine, spike in alarrm. "Oh... Hello!" she immediately relaxes and is just as curious about the sunny dragon before her, "My name is Airiah! What's yours!?"

(She was suppose to be in her human form, but I didn't specify, so she's in her dragon xD)

Detecting a strange and unnatural cawing in the distance, Maelstrom rose his maw to the sky, searching for the disruption in the peace of the mountains. Camera-like lenses whirred in his robotic eye until he spotted a murder of metallic ravens streaking in his general direction. //Robots,// he observed, a faint flutter of curiosity rising up inside him.

(Hey Ash!)

(Hey there Ash! Good to see you!)

(Sorry radiant, I missed your comment!)

(Faaaade, you never replied to me.)

(Oh, alright. XD)

(Hello! :>)

"My name's Sherry!" the dragonet declares, her tail swishing back and forth excitedly. "It's nice to meet you, Airiah! Hey, what do you wanna do?"

(Hey, Spectral and Fluffy.)

Raven lead his birds lower to the ground, close to at least a five hundred tailed him, he went into the forest just below the mountains to test himself and his control over his birds. He weaved around branches and tree trunks, his birds following him almost perfectly, a few of them took off some tree branches and he rolled his eyes. Shooting upwards out of the trees and back into the sky, is when he shot passed Maelstrom's snout, "Whoa!" he flailed his wings in shock, "The hell are you?" he cawed.

Hack stumbled through the woods rather noisily, his wings continuously catching on stray branches. Finally he burst into the clearing that Cherry was in and he looked up in shock. "A dragon?? But... it's pink. It's literally a bright pink dragon." The Deia's surprised expression changed to one of amusement and he laughed, ignorant of whether the dragon would respond. "I didn't even know pink dragons existed! Ha!"

(Fluffy and Ash! Good to see you two! ^-^

That takes care of our questions concerning Claw, eh Mythic? XP )

Airiah watched Sherry's tail for a few moments, tempted to pounce and pin it. She blinked a few times as Sherry spoke to her, "Hmmm" she stands up to her full height, "I don't know! Oooooh! How about a game!"

(Yup! Alright shall the three of us begin?)

(Hi Fluffy!)

(Fade)

Initially jerking back in fright when Hack suddenly emerged from the trees, Cherry hesitated and blinked several times as she observed him, slightly confused. //He looks like a human, but he has wings,// she thought, stating the obvious.
'Um... hello?' she ventured uncertainly.

Maelstrom tracked the murder with his gaze until they vanished under the treetops. He waited, not sure whether they would reappear, until one burst out right in front of his nose. He snarled and recoiled, shocked by the robotic bird's speed. "It talks," he rumbled aloud, watching Raven warily.

(Guess it would have helped to specify Raven himself isn't robotic, hahah, he looks like a normal raven with his feather tips tinted blue, but he's about twice as big as a regular raven)

(Oh whoops, I forgot. Shall I edit my comment?)

(I'll post the last scene from the last Rp)

( @Mythic Sure!)

Phantera follows Spirit/23's scent to the cave, and waits at the entrance for Moon and Claw. "That perssson went in here... why do you think he ran?"

Sherry bounces up and down, her vibrant blue eyes sparkling up at Airiah. "A game?! What kind of game!? I'd love to play with you!"

(Nah I can roll with it)
"A metallic dragon" Raven starts talking to himself, his good eye bright with interest, he lands swifty between Maelstrom's wings, "Interesting" he taps the metallic parts with his talons, "Did you do this to yourself? Or were you a human experiment?" he keeps tapping.

Hack promptly stopped laughing when Cherry spoke, rather taken aback. //Oh, dragons can speak. Right.... This is awkward. I've never spoken to a dragon before.// The teenage Deia scratched the back of his head, suddenly uncomfortable. "Uhh, hey? How's it going?" //I'm not good with conversation either...//

(Sorry Mythic, I'm too slow X'D )

A snarl rising up in his metal throat, Maelstrom twisted back and snapped at the bird with his teeth. "Get off me, pest!" the cyborg spat.

"Yay! I'd love to play too!" Airiah sits on her haunches and taps her forepaws together as she thinks, "Hide and seek! Let's play hide and seek in the forest!" she points a large forepaw towards the forest.

(Don't worry Lilly, I was slow posting that!)

Raven heard the snarl and was off before he could snap his jaws, flying above him his body contorts oddly and almost horrifically as he starts to shift, soon a large dragon flies above the cyborg, "Awe relax, I was just curious" he grins toothily down at him.

Moon trotted up beside Phantera and growled"Must've run because he tried to get secrets! If master were here she'd... she'd... I don't know what she'd do, she's rather unpredictable actually. I'll try to get in there..." Moon chuffed as she stuck her head under the boulder.

(Fade)

Cherry opened her mouth, closed it again, and considered briefly before responding, 'OK, I think...? Uhm, can I ask exactly who you are?'
As she spoke, she mentally filed this encounter away in her mind under 'Top 20 Strangest Moments of My Life'.

Maesltrom craned his neck back as he watched the playful Raven shift into a huge, serpentine dragon, larger than himself in mass. His good eye widened and a growl rose in his chest. "Who are you?"

(I might have to go soon, I don't know yet. It's kinda late.)

"Just your friendly neighborhood mountain bird" Raven presses his paw to his chest, "Why do you keep growling at me? That's so rude, all I did was ask questions" he says all of this dramatically.

(Hack: I am honored. *bows*)

Hack frowned at the stranger, contemplating for a moment. //No wonder it's pink... It's a girl.// Upon receiving her question, the Deia stood straight and grinned, poising his wings behind his back to look more confident. "Me? I'm Hack Stillwright, best inventor in all of Guren Desert! And who are you?"

(Alright Radiant!)

(Fluffffyyyyy are you going to do anything with Iris? [I think you should put her in Airiah and Sherry's path X'P ])

(Fade)

Cherry tilted her head to one side as she observed him, cautiously moving a step closer. 'I'm Cherry... That's all.' After a moment's hesitation she added, 'It's nice to meet you, I suppose...?'

//Because your cockiness is ticking me off,// the cyborg dragon nearly retorted. "Pardon for my attitude, but I am not fond of those who intrude my personal space," Maelstrom replied as calmly as his rather short temper would allow, although a scowl still escaped his control.

(Well, Iris is kind of occupied with Lillian and Ayanna...
So I think I'll throw #DrakeIK and #TakeoIK into the mix. x3)

Raven scratched his neck, looking around then back down at Maelstrom, "You're excused, don't let it happen again" he sounds condescending, Raven grins widely when he notices the scowl.

"Yeah, nice to meet you, Cherry..." Hack rubbed the back of his neck, gaze averting. "Um, can I ask why you're... pink?" He caught himself suddenly and waved his hands at her. "I-I don't mean that in any rude way! I just think it's... interesting to see someone so... vibrant?" The Deia ended his sentence with a quizzical look as if not sure what to make of his own words. //Did I make this situation worse?// he pondered, rubbing his neck more.

(Lilly, Ash? I replied just so you guys know.)

(These two have social skills 10/10)

Cherry blinked again, averting her gaze slightly. 'Uhm... I-I think I just... am?' she offered hopefully. 'I don't really know why I was born this colour. I know it's an unusual colour for - for a dragon, if that's what you mean.'

(BRB, then I'll be back on my DS.)

( @Fluffy Alright XP )

"Hee-hee! That sounds like fun!" cheerful little Sherry declares, and then begins hopping towards the city's exit. She finishes her peach on the way, and stops just outside the city gate. "How far should we go into the forest, Airiah? We shouldn't go too far, right?"

(I know, i replied I'm waiting for you two)

(Oh wait sorry sh i just re-read it T^T)

Thin smoke puffed out of the metal dragon's nostrils, agitation rising up from the way that the stranger acted as though he were in charge. Unable to hold back, Maelstrom huffed, "May I ask why you are so cheeky?"

"Nah this I'd probably a hunter out a spy. Master would not be too impressed if it was a hunter. She is getting hunted because of what she is!" Moons replied as her voice echoed from inside of the cave.

Airiah had a little bounce to her steps as she followed Sherry. Giggling as they reached the city gate, "Hmmm, to the first mountain, but no further and you can't track the other dragon's scent, that's cheating" she nods, "Okaaaaay, you're it!" she tags Sherry with her paw and bounds off to the forest, "You have to count to 52!" she yells back

(Back, for now.)

Phantera "looks" at Claw as he speaks, then follows Moon. He doesn't really care what the person is, the phantom serpent just wants to know if said person has food.

Within the forest, Takeo quickly climbed through the trees, then suddenly jumped down to the ground and ran off elsewhere. Following far behind was Drake, who looked very unhappy about his traveling companion's spontaneous behavior.
Takeo came scampering back, nearly tripping over the roots of trees. "Hey, hey, do you think we're there yet?"

"Where, exactly? I don't even know where we're going." Drake replied.

"Really? Because I don't know either! I guess we'll know when we get there!~" Takeo grinned, which caused Drake to start grumbling to himself.

"I'm not cheeky" Raven objects, "I'm just me" he chuckles at Maelstrom, noticing smoke puff out his nose, "Oooh you're like a teapot, just fuming aren't ya? It's so cute!" he flaps his wings and flies back a good few paces, "Well teapot, I've got better things to do than watch you boil over"

(Lol Radiant. XD)

Hack chuckled awkwardly. "Haha yeah, I guess it just took me by surprise..." //This is why I leave it up to others to do the bartering while we're in town...// Noticing the silence between him and Cherry, Hack seized the chance to change subjects. "So uh, you live around here?" //Wait, that's a dumb question. Of course she lives here if she's here in the first place. Stupid, stupid, stupid.//

Despite his best attempts to hide his annoyance, more smoke puffed out of Maelstrom's snout. "You're right - I'm wasting minutes of my life on some joke like you. Farewell," he said abruptly, spinning around and stalking away, his mechanical tail sweeping behind him. //Better'd get away before my temper blows... I don't want to fight some creature that I'm not familiar with.//

(Fade)

'Well, I don't live /exactly/ around here,' replied Cherry, sensing the awkwardness in the air and starting to feel even more awkward herself. 'I come from the mountains on the other side of the city... I normally live in a large cave. It's quite nice there, but sometimes I feel as if I need to get away for a while, so I decided to go travelling, and uhm, that's how I ended up here...' Noticing that she was rambling, Cherry quickly shut herself up, ruffling her wings with embarrassment.

"Well I am quite the jokester" Raven chuckles, //He's so fun to bug// tapping his claws together, he starts thinking of ways to mess with the cyborg. "That fiery chest of his...maybe I'll flood his cave" he snickers, talking to himself as he flies off to find water.

As the trio ventured into the small cavern, Moon looked around for anybody out anything that could be inside. Get sensitive eyes and echolocation could not get anything "Phantera, could you do a scan for heat signatures that aren't us?" Moon asked as she remain vigilant, looking for signs of anyone or anything.

The sunny little dragonet's eyes widen at first--to the first mountain isn't what she had been expecting. Nevertheless, she go along with it anyway. "Uh--Ok!" she stutters, then covers her eyes, "One, two, three, four, five..."

Unconsciously mirroring Cherry's actions, Hack's wings shuffled on his back as well. "Oh. I see." //So it wasn't an entirely awkward question...? And hey, I made conversation! This isn't so bad!//cheering up some, the young Deia placed his hands on his hips. "You ever been to the desert?" he queried, grinning.

Airiah had paused until Sherry started counting, then she snuck into the forest, //Why did I pick a forest? I stick out like a sore thumb// she slinks along the ground, rustling tree branches as she goes. Coming to a clearing almost big enough to fit herself, she starts using her claws to rip off leaves and cover herself. Once satisfied, she curled up in a ball in the clearing, leaving her long tail woven through the trees, Airiah giggles, //she'll never find me!//

"Stupid, bird-brained serpent," Maelstrom growled under his breath as he left Raven behind and headed back toward his dwelling place. He finally reached a yawning cave entrance in the side of a mountain wall, viscous stalactites and stalagmites jutting from the top and bottom like teeth. The cyborg crept inside the tunnel, his glowing eye lighting the way for him.

Phantera's ears perk up, and he grins. The darkness of the cave doesn't bother the blind serpent at all. "Sssssure thing!" he declares, taking the lead as the group delves deeper into the cave. "I think we're getting closssser..." he mutters after a while of walking.

(Fade)

Cherry forced herself to meet Hack's gaze directly. 'Th-the desert? No, I've never been there. I don't think I'll ever want to... I don't like it very much when the weather's too hot or dry.' She tilted her head as something came into her mind. 'Wait... you're from the desert? Why are you so far away from home?'

Raven reached a fairly decent sized lake, it looked more like a pond to him, but he decided to work with what he had. //Now how do I move all this...into his cave?// he narrows his eyes as he thinks, noticing his birds flying above his head, "Oi ya useless birds find me something to carry water in!" he roars and they scatter like flies.

A few minutes pass and Raven's sniffing the water, //smells kinda weird// he shrugs, noticing his birds coming back, they're carrying a small hull of a ship. "Guess that'll work" he tips his head, grabbing it from them and filling it with as much water as he can.

He flaps his wings a few good times to get airborne, groaning from the weight of the water. He had a bird follow teapot and found the cave entrance, "Hey teapot! I got you something~" he tips it in, pouring all the water inside.

(RIP Maelstrom)

23 watched them getting closer. She going on the side of the meeting her back to the open, going out with provide atleast a little amount of camouflage, though, she knows that Phantera has heat sensors and knows getting caught is inevitable.

Moon walked beside Claw and and kept her ears perked up, and making small clicks to sense the slightest amount of movement. "Anything?" She waited to Phantera.

//Huh, that's not fun. How can she not like the desert? There's so much room to spread your wings and fly about--// "Me?" Hack tilted his head, trying to remember what he had been doing before he met Cherry. "Oh, I was sent to the city by my family to scout the area, but I got bored and then distracted when I saw you." Hack ended his explanation with a contented look, not yet processing the fact that he was still on a mission.

(Maelstrom: T-T)

(Raven: I just want some tea :D)

"While you're up there, could you check and see if there are any towns or cities near here?" Drake asked Takeo, who had once again found his way up into the trees.

It took the lizard boy a while, but he finally poked his head down from the trees with a resounding, "Huh?"

Drake sighed with frustration, "Okay, nevermind, I'll just do it." He said, climbing up into the trees. //Hmm... These trees aren't tall enough... I need a better view.//
He began hopping from branch to branch until he abruptly tripped over something that wasn't a branch--but someone's tail.
He let out a pitiful yelp as he tumbled down to the ground, and right onto his face.

"...Oooh, that looked like it hurt." Takeo said, observing all of this from a few trees away.

(Fade)

'Oh...' said Cherry slowly. 'Uhm, I know it's none of my business, but aren't you... supposed to finish your scouting trip? I wouldn't want you to get into trouble because you stopped to talk with me.' She sat down and curled her tail around herself like a cat, finally feeling safe enough to relax a little in his presence.

Maelstrom paced about in his cavern for some time, venting off his agitation. He was just beginning to calm down when his mechanical ears caught the approach of metal wings again. He growled and faced the sound, readying himself for a flurry of ravens to fly in, but when a wave of water came rushing instead, his eye snapped wide and he froze. The wall of water whacked him head on, carrying him off his feet and sending him tumbling back. Normally such an attack would hardly damage him, but Maelstrom's strength vanished when he tried to fight the current. It was then that he realized that his furnace had been drenched in water until it was a mere flicker of flame in his chest, providing him no energy. After the waters receded, the cyborg lay limp on the floor of the cave, gasping roughly. //That bird...//

(I'm not done yet)

(okay)

After a few minutes of recovery, Maelstrom managed to push himself to his feet. He glanced at the furnace in his chest to see nearly all the fire gone, although it was slowly returning to life. Grunting from the effort, he heaved himself toward the entrance of his home, smoke beginning to weave from his snout again. //He's going to pay for every last drop he dumped on me...// Lumbering out of the cave into the daylight, Maelstrom's furious eyes fixed on Raven, water still running off his sides. "You! I'll kill you!!" he roared, literally fuming this time.

"... Forty-nine, fifty, fifty-one, fifty-two!" Sherry uncovers her eyes and bounces off into the forest. "Ready or not, here I come!" she cheerfully proclaims, keeping her eyes peeled for anything resembling her new friend.

"There'sssss ssssomething over here, Moon! I think it'ssss him! Or her!" Being lead directly to 23's location by his heat sensing organs, Phantera grins. "Hello! Why'd you run away?"

Raven when he dumped the last drop, getting some water on his paws from hooking his long claws into the metal hull, he discarded it, watching the hull tumble down the mountain side. He claps his paws together and flies up to leer down at the cave entrance. //That should get his attention//

Raven patiently waits for Maelstrom to recover, grinning widely as the cyborg comes out, "You're welcome to try, I've been alive a very long time, longer than your greatest grandfather" he roars, "No one's killed me yet!" his ravens attach themselves to his long body, covering him in a shiny strong silver armor, with metallic spikes jutting out all along it. Only his mane, tail tip and horns aren't covered as he flexes his claws, "Come on, do your worst!" he hisses.

"Hmm...?" Hack tilted his head and scratched his neck again, processing the dragoness's words. He started suddenly, wings unfurling as he finally caught on. "Ah! I should be doing that!" He whipped around, about to take off, then paused and faced Cherry again. "Uh, thanks for reminding me. It was nice to meet you... Cherry!" He ended with an awkward yet friendly smile before pivoting and launching himself into the air, taking flight. Hack's teal wings slapped several branches during his ascent, provoking a few annoyed grumbles from the Deia before he vanished above the treetops. //Well, that was quite an encounter,// he mused.

Airiah felt something trip over her tail, hearing different voices, she didn't want to move to inspect, incase Sherry might spot her moving, she flicks Drake with her tail, quietly hissing, "Watch it"

(How big is Raven in comparison to Maelstrom? I though he at least the size of a mountain, so he's probably dwarfing Mael...)

(Fade)

Cherry stares up at the sky as Hack took off, disappearing above the tree canopy. 'Umm... you're welcome,' she said belatedly, when he was already out of earshot.
Shaking her head in bemusment at the entire interaction, she turned and set off to walk in the opposite direction.

(Alright, I'm gonna take advantage of that and head off now! I probably won't be able to make the next few sessions because of Shacklestone, so don't wait for me next week.)

(Alright Radiant! See you later! It was fun roleplaying with you again. x) )

(See you, Crowley!)

(How tall is Maelstrom? Height/Length?

Raven would definitely dwarf him, but not so drastically, I'm kind of tweaking Zeharu a bit, so they're long and big, but not too big)

23 slowly swiveled her head to face Phantera. She grinned under her mask then turned to face Moon. "Hey Moon. I see you've found more friends! That's really nice!" 23 complemented Moon and kept off of her side of the cavern and walked to Moon. "Why did you run master?" Moon asked as she tilted her head looking concerned. "I was trying to let you guys play in peace. You never go out and hang with creatures other than me or El! When you discovered that i was watching you, i needed to book it so that I could leave you in peace" she replied as she slowly stroked her bats head.

(Actually, I'm not all that sure. I think he was 30-ish feet tall at the head.)

(I need to brb to clean the fish tank now, I'll be back in a bit!)

(hmm okay, I'd say Raven would be 80ft if you view him from a front view, paws to head. He's 178m in length)

(Yup, he's dwarfed. Attacking Raven is suicide. RIP.)

( @Lilly: YOU HAVE FISH??)

"Ow, ow, ow..." Drake quietly complained as he slowly sat up. Then he felt something snap against his backside, the force of it causing him to topple over again. "Ah-! What was that for?!"

"Drake! Are you ok?" Takeo dropped down beside his friend and inspected him for any serious wounds. "...Who're you talking to? Is there someone else up there in the trees?" He asked, staring at the leaves and branches above. "Helloooo?"

(Well my idea is to have the larger zeharu be able to eat a human in a single bite, but smaller variants, nature, nightmare, poison, etc... can not)

(Ahh, I see. I need to brb, but I'll write my comment in a moment.)

(that's fine, I can wait x))

(Nvm I'm back)

(XD)

(Pfft lol)

(Ooh hey, you guys will be able to see the abilities Maelstrom possesses that weren't revealed in TDS!)

(Swag, I'm excited, I'm still developing Raven, he's still new and he's got a rather sadistic side to him. I'll make sure to keep him toned down for you x))

(It's fine, you do what you want. ^^)

(alrighty :P)

(It really does)

(Don't worry Ash! I'm head to! I'm just waiting for Lilly or i do not know what else to do :p it's so barren)

(So, how is everyone? //you know, while I wait//)

With a raging war bellow, Maelstrom launched himself toward Raven, wings beating fiercely and teeth glistening. His opponent loomed ahead, out-sizing him drastically, yet not a hint of fear existed in the mechanical dragon's chest as he winged his way forward. //You've chosen the wrong battleground, serpent...// All of a sudden, the cyborg's red eye flared purple. A faint aura swept off of him and away into the surrounding mountains. Then the whole place shook. Without warning, the sides of the mountains heaved and burst forth, hundreds of tons of stone shifting into serpent-like streams and racing toward the duel. The sides of the mountains were ripped apart, the rock pulsing with purple energy as it swept upward. Maelstrom continued his charge with confidence, now followed with enough back up to stand a chance against the Zeharu. //I learned long ago that my ability to shape gold was not all that I was capable of. I have every non-living mineral in my vicinity under my complete control - I am immortal.//

(Don't get on the nerves of a grumpy old timer.)

( wow we got Maelstrom vs Raven going on O.o I'm missing epicness )

(yes,yes I am Ash TwT)

(Hey @Shadow! Credit to Blood for the idea of pitting them against each other. XD)

(You want me to list out the weaknesses of his ability, Blood? Or do you want to figure them out for yourself?)

(Aww, I'm sorry you feel that way Ash! That time of the month is never fun. T-T)

(I'm going to redo #SPAlfred and #SPScarlet
bio and maybe Though them in sometime Scarlet I had a pretty awesome idea for a human form for a while now)

(Ooh, Scarlet with a human form? Her original form is awesome on its own - I can't wait to see that! *w*)

(Are you hoping to join in, Shadow?)

(I'm going​ to update her all together, she was a fun crazy girl )

(I can't right now we are still working and I know as soon as I start I'll get pulled away -.-)

(Aww, alright. Good luck then!)

(grrr this Weekly Challenge is music and I have a few WIP that could go for that, if I can find time)

(hmmm im gonna to change the cover of this RP do any of you mind if I pick one of your oc for it?)

(I keep forgetting about the WC. 'xD
That would be cool! I'd love to see any character up there! :D)

(Also, I think Blood's dead, so I'm just gonna keep on spamming this chat.)

(Fade? Get in the van!)
(I'm bored forgive me TvT)

Raven's eyes widened as the mountains shook and seemed to blow up, he kept his wide grin on his face, revealing all his large sharp white fangs. "I haven't faced a challenge like this in millennia!" he roars as loud as his lungs will allow him.

Raven immediately removes his armor to fly quicker, he flies up to avoid the mountain serpents, "You sure are an interesting dragon Teapot!" he snickers, "I've got more than a few tricks up my sleeves too!" his birds scatter and start to change into jagged metallic beams, launching themselves at the stone serpents like spears.

Raven himself spins around and dive bombs straight towards Maelstrom, jaws open wide and claws stretched out.

(Lol Mythic. X'D

Oh hey, speak of the devil!)

(I had to poo, why do people rush me when I go to the bathroom?)

( because it's an emergency )

(thanks Ash and you to! X3 )

(X'D)

(Yeah! That we'll probably be a running joke between us Fade! X'D. Until it annoys the heck out of you TnT )

(I'm really thinking about taking the chance and join but I anyone stuck with me if I get pulled away)

(It's fine with me Shadow, I have plenty of characters I can throw at you and don't mind getting stuck)

(ok Blood who should I go with?)

(I dunno, I throoooow #BHHayden at ya)

(oooo pretty boy hmm do you mind if I did #SPAlfred or should I pick something else?)

(Sure I never got a chance to rp with Alfred yet!)

Maelstrom narrowed his eyes as Raven flew upwards, choosing to stay hovering below. The stone columns spiraled up after the Zeharu, some smashing into each other and falling back to the earth, while the rest stayed persistent. Several spires were severed, causing them to crumble and plummet, yet more serpents shortly replaced them. However, when Raven dove for Maelstrom, the columns began to taper as they were forced to extend themselves longer. By the time the Zeharu was a hundred yards away from Maelstrom, the serpents had nearly ceased their pursuit, leaving the cyborg with no defense. He snarled as he faced his opponent. "This will be your last challenge!" Mechanical eye flashing again, Maelstrom summoned his magic and the golden plating on his back and sides began to shift. The almost liquidized mineral crept over his robotic wing, coating it until it was nearly an indestructible shield. Thick spikes rose from its surface as Maelstrom raised his wing before him, readying for the inevitable impact.

(ok sweet he one of my favorite x3 can you set the scene?)

(Oops, meant to say the spires were *severed by Raven's metal projectiles)

Raven roared, it seemed to shake the air around him as he plummeted towards Maelstrom, knowing he could never stop in time to avoid the cyborg if he wanted to, which he didn't...

He bit down onto Maelstrom's wing, forcing the cyborg down to the Earth with him, he rakes his claws around the wing, enjoying the feeling of Maelstrom's armor tearing his palms open. He digs his teeth into the indestructible wing, an insane, twisted look on his face as he tried to shred it with his fangs.

Hayden was in his human form (6'0''), wandering the nearly empty city streets for food, "So hungry" he mutters to himself, he holds his tummy as he shuffles along, stopping to sniff the air every so often

(Still hangin' out.
How's the yardwork Shadow?)

//This dragon is insane!// Maelstrom thought when he caught his opponent's twisted grin moments before the Zeharu's weight slammed into him. The impact sent both of them flying towards the earth, but Maelstrom could not summon his powers in time to break his fall. He smashed into the mountainside, impact jarring his frame and causing the rock to dig into his living flesh. Before he could be crushed, Maelstrom managed to thrust his wing to redirect his opponent, saving him from being impacted by Raven's full weight, although he still took a hard blow.

Raven backed up into the sky, his grin eerie as he watched Maelstrom, "What's a matter Teapot? That all you got?" he snickers, he lifts his paw one at a time and licks the blood off, "I'm just getting warmed up" the sky is alive with swarms of metallic ravens, "I haven't lived this long for nothing"

Chest cavity flowing with hot flames, Maelstrom pushed himself to his feet. The gold on his wing slowly moved back to their original positions on his body as he glared up at Raven. //It's been a while since I battled... I need the warm up too.// Throwing his head back in a guttural roar, Maelstrom spread his wings and shot into the sky, spires of stone leaping right after him. The serpents spiraled around and below him as he ascended. "Come at me!!" he challenged Raven.

Alfred came out of a candy shop (of course) with a satchel full of goodies, the gray Dragon thing made his way though the city, humming a song as he goes not really noticing the looks he was getting from the people around him or maybe he just didn't care, Alfred noticed a guy holding his stomach, with his big ears he heard the man stomach growl, "Hi! Are you Hungry? Would you like some candy?" He offered with a smile them taking some of his candy the Dragon pop one in his mouth and chewed "it right good!"

Raven covered his body in armor, not having to use all his ravens as he shot down towards Maelstrom and the earth like serpents, "Your wish is my command!" he roars and tucks his head in as he prepared to ram through the stone serpents and into Maelstrom

(Sorry I got pulled away :p

It's coming along Mythic slowly but we are getting it done)

Hayden paused when the little gray dragon bounced up to him with candy, "Oooh yes please! I'd love some candy" he grabs a handful from Alfred and pops them in his mouth, "Thanks little buddy" he slurs around the mouthful

(That moment when you go to clean your fish tank, and you see the body of your niece's fish stuck to the tank's filter, its entire head missing o-o

@Fade I thought for sure I mentioned before that I have fish XP

Anyway, I'm back now! Sorry I made you guys wait so long DX )

(Sorry I'm taking so long. X'D)

(Oh my goodness Lilly. X'D)

(Oh my goodness Lilly X'D You have a niece?)

Maelstrom remained directly on his path upward, unfazed by his armored opponent's approach. His stone spires raced forward, spiraling togethery until they formed a sort of barricade between them. With Raven's momentum and armor, however, the rocks were smashed like clay, but Maelstrom did not stop. Moments before the impact, he veered to his right, but not enough. Raven collided with him, and his entire mechanical side shattered into a thousand gold pieces - head, wing, and everything else. What remained of the cyborg vanished along with the torrent of shattered rock that Raven had flown past.

(So wait, is Maelstrom buried alive under the stone serpents he smashed? Without his golden armor? Would he still be a dragon or what? x'D)

(Raven smashed straight through Maelstrom and his stone serpents, so it's all behind him, still mid-air. Sorry if I sound confusing, I'm struggling to find the words to write today. xP)

( @Mythic Yes, I have a niece. Too many nieces. And a nephew TwT )

(Thanks!
I'll respond after my shower, brb xP)

(Is Fluffy still around?)

(Alrighty! I'm gonna tidy up my room in the meantime.)

(So... does your niece know about the fish?)
(I like ice cream)

(ICE CREAM)

( @Mythic Not yet. My family only gets them a couple times a week and every other weekend, we'll have to tell her when we get them on Tuesday XP )

(ICE CREEEEAAAAAMMMM)

(Goodluck Lilly! Shall we continue our Rp?)

(Aah, sorry I disappeared! I got distracted working on something.)

(WB Fluffy! I get ya. ;) )

(Sure, Mythic!)

Phantera quietly watches the interaction between Moon and her master with his heat vision. "... Oh, sssso you're a friend of Moon'ssss! I'm Phantera. Do you have any food?"

(Welcome back Fluffy! That's fine, that's happened to me before XP )

23 turned her head and looked up at Phantera "Yes, i am not just a friend to Moon but her family. We have to stick together for we support each-other. We both have a nasty case PTSD." She explained glancing back up to Phantera. "My aren't you an odd creature! I've never seen anything like you! But might i say you are mighty handsome!" She continued. She started to rummage around and bread a satchel that was tucked away. "I have a few bones. The fresh ones are for me and The others are for Moon. I guess you can have one." 23 opened the satchel and wrapped the strap on around her wrist.Mon looked up at her companion with the face of disgust. Mon then continued to pout //why would matter give my bones away?// she thought angrily.

(Oh and, ICE CREAM!
I may or may not have made Shadow want ice cream last week X) )

Raven barrelled straight through the stone and Maelstrom, before he'd done that, he'd tucked his arms against his sides to gain momentum. A mistake he realized too late as he lifted his head up to see the mountain too close for comfort, he flailed his arms and tried to swerve away, but ended up crashing into the side of it, sending rocks showering down. "Oh ow, too fast" he shakes his head, "I'll be sore in the morning"

The majority of what 23 says goes through one ear and out the other for the blind serpent. He doesn't know what PTSD is, nor does he care, he's heard the word "handsome" tossed arounda couple times, but he never bothered to ask its meaning. Phantera feels hopeful when 23 first mentions what she has, but it fades to dismay when she offers him a bone. "... But there'ssss no meat on it...!"

Sunny little Sherry eventually spots Drake and Takeo from a distance, and promptly bounces over them in her search to find Airiah. "Hi! Have you seen a big yellow (I think? X'D ) dragon anywhere?"

23 stopped and slightly turned her head to look at Claw behind her after hearing the slight noise of him taking his mask off. "I see we have something in common" she mumbled, her voice getting slightly raspy. She did so in a rather mysterious manner.

Before the wreckage behind Raven had even fallen to the earth, the purple light of an eye flared from amidst the debris. As if they were alive, the golden pieces of Maelstrom's armor zipped around the falling rocks, rapidly collecting above Raven where the intact part of Maelstrom waited. In moments, the gold had fully reassembled into the dragon cyborg, who now plummeted toward the Zeharu, a smirk on his face. Inhaling deeply, Maelstrom breathed a thick plume of blazing fire on his opponent.

23 turned her head to face Claw and headed the bone to Moon. Mon snatched it up, tipped her head back, and swallowed the bone while. "Fine you want a fresh bone?" She said as she grabbed a fresh bone.

(I'm going i might be able to do a slight face reveal on 23's part when they exit the cave tonight.)

(I posted this under a different chat fuuuuu, Airiah's more of a faded fiery orange #BHAiriah)

Airiah was about to respond to Takeo, when she heard Sherry. She clamped her jaws shut in an effort to stay quiet and placed her paws on her muzzle, but her body quivered with the effort it took not to giggle and her tail tip twitched.

(I had to write this twice because I'm dumb)

(ICE CREAM

I GOT ICE CREAM)

Raven's eyes widened as Maelstrom breathed fire at him, he hastily tried to get away but his long body and large size was a curse sometimes, he felt the fire heat up his armor and burn his wings and mane. He hisses and flies up, trying to shake off any lingering flames, but he did notice something, ignoring the burning pain, he dove at Maelstrom again and aimed for his robotic eye, trying to slash it out with his long sharp claws.

(You're not dumb Blood! You're awesome! x)

"Why don't we get out of this dark cavern. Alli can see are the glowing eyes of everyone in here" 23 chuffed as she started walking toward the entrance while Moon walked close behind.

(Thanks Fade xP)

(FADE!!! CAN I HAVE SOME!!!?? *puppy dog eyes*)

"Uh--" Drake was about to say something to the fluffy yellow dragon when suddenly Takeo interrupted. "Hi! No, we haven't seen any other dragons around here. Well, not until we saw you!
...But my friend Drake here was talking to somebody in the trees.
Or... Was he talking TO the trees? That'd be weird... But he'd probably do it." Takeo whispered the last part, trying to make sure only Sherry could hear.
But Drake's expression said that he'd heard every word.

(I'm back, and tired we are done for the day )

(YES MYTHIC

AND I FOUND SPRINKLES

SO WE CAN HAVE SPRINKLES ON OUR ICE CREAM)

(YES!! I LOVE SPRINKLES!! I'LL HAVE A TRUCK LOAD ON MY ICE CREAM! :P)

The smoke wafting off of Raven's burned flesh obscured Maelstrom's vision from his opponent's next attack until it was too late. raven's claws slashed through his cyborg eye, shattering it completely. Roaring, he backed up some, trying to understand his surroundings. However, the vision in his dragon eye was dull as a result of the incident that took the left half of his body. "You...!" Maelstrom snarled, whipping his head about in an attempt to spot Raven.

(Hey Shadow! Hope you're okay!)

(HURRY UP AND GET OVER HERE, IT'S BEGINNING TO MELT)

(Hooray, Shadow! I'm glad you survived! ;u;)

( @Blood Yeah, you're right, sorry, I haven't looked at a picture of her in a while XP

@Mythic If there isn't any meat on those bones, Phantera's not going to eat them XP )

( @Blood And you're not dumb, I'm sure everyone's made mistakes like that XP )

(*runs like bloody murder as a trail of fire appears* NUUUU!! DON'T LET IT MELT!!! YOU'RE MY LAST HOPE!!!)

( @Lilly, there's marrow... well he have marrow?)

(Sorry... You took too long so I ate all the ice cream. ;-;)

(Good to see you, Shadow! Go get some rest, I'm sure you've earned it :) )

( @Blood, sorry this is late. You're definitely not dumb, I've made those mistakes before! I was even going to write a reply on last week's RP! // this past week I walked into my door... 3 times. I'm dumb XD//)

(FADE!! * gets down on knees* WWWWHHHHYYYYY!!! *turns around* My name is Mystic-Myotis, you ate my Ice cream, prepare to die!!!!!)

( @Mythic Nope, he's going to be a sad serpent now XD )

Phantera wrinkles his nose somewhat at 23's offer, deciding he'd be better off trying to find actual food when they get out of the cave. "No thankssss..." he mutters, perking his ears up slightly as he starts meandering back the way the group came.

(Ohmygoodness noooooo Mythic. X'DDDDD)

As they exit the cave 23 looks around for more food and found a bird that she ran into while running away. She took it out of her satchel and grabbed it to Phantera. "I ran into a bird and it got caught in the eye socket" She explained as she began panting.

(She? I care of made up characters are happy to! I just that person XP)

"Hmmm... in the trees?" Sherry repeats, her tail flipping back and forth as she thinks. She smiles after a moment, then leaps into the trees, searching until she spots the tail of her friend. "Aha! I found you, Airiah!" the little bundle of sunshine declares, giggling gleefully.

(I take it you get that reference Fade? I thank you for the opportunity * bows head*

(I forgot it was my turn to respond, woops)

(It's all good. XD)

( @Mythic: Why wouldn't I? That movie's a classic! Plus, I rewatched it just last week. XD)

Raven used his birds to put out the flames on his mane, he floating above Maelstrom by a few hundred feet, panting and wincing as he felt the burning and smelled it too. Shaking his head, he forces a small grin, "What's the problem? Can't see?"

(Inconceivable!! I needed to say that to. >:3 )

"your welcome! Candy is the best can of food! If you ask me!" Alfred said cheerfully at the guy, Alfred tilted his head noticing the pointy ears on Hayden " oooh! are you a elf?! elf have really long ears, I haven't seen to many of them, but I remember they have big ears, not as big as mine though" he pointed to his large bat ears and chuckled

(sorry took a shower and got cleaned up,
I survived but still have a lot of work to do, I just hope were not going to do to much tomorrow -.-)

(You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means, Mythic.)

Following the sound of the face, Maelstrom finally managed to bring his focus to the serpentine dragon's face. "I can see that you're not quite as indestructible as you thought you were," he remarked. Drawing from what remained of his magic, Maelstrom caused the rubble from his earlier attacks to begin to rise again, preparing for another round.

(Ahhh!! *high-fives Lilly* XDDD)

(What word Lilly? If it is "Inconceivable" I know what it means. I just wanted to say it.)

(No Mythic, what Lilly said was also a quote from the movie. XD)

Hayden almost choked on his candy as Alfred talked and moved his ears, his eyes watered as he swallowed the sweets, "Uhm no, I'm not an elf, I'm a dragon" @Shadow
-
Raven notices the rocks starting to lift, he wastes no time in attacking and strikes Maelstrom with his tail, sending the cyborg into the mountain side with a snarl.

(No!!!! I feel so bad now T^T Fade? Do me a favor and whack me on the head with with a sludge hammer please? Or someone?
//haven't seen the movie in 4 years//)

(*high-fives Fade* XD )

A small smile creeps across Phantera's maw at 23's new gift, and he gobbles the bird down without complaint, content now with his meal.

Maelstrom struck the with with a heavy grunt, his world seemingly much more disoriented without proper vision. //I've forgotten what it's like to have "normal" vision,// he mused dryly. Taking a moment to recover, the cyborg commanded the stone around him to rise up into a net-patterned bubble around him as a simple protection. In the meantime, the rock columns circled around Raven, creating a similar yet more sparse cage. Then, from nowhere, sharp stone serpents shot out at Raven from various sides with the intention of piercing him.

(Naw you're good Mythic, I wouldn't have noticed it either had I not watched the movie so recently. Plus when you're older it's easier to catch subtle phrases like that one. x) )

(I hope you don't have too much to do, either, Shadow :/ )

(*wall, not with)

23 smiles at Phanteras glee. She lets out a large exhale and removed her mask; revealing her battle damage and scars that covered her face. She has long, shiny blonde hair, with a red strip that ran from her bangs. Moon began wagging her tail and locking her chops wildly as she pounced on her friend and began wildly licking her in the face.

Von had been searching in the forest after he got dropped off by Airiah and she took off to play hide and seek // were would a careful Phoenix girl go?... // The Warlock pondered his options, as he wandered in silence.

-

Alfred eyes widened "your a Dragon?! That so awesome!! " He said with astonishment, the cyborg Dragon Circle Hayden to get a better look at him "So you must be one of those shape shifting kind? " He ask then smiled

(Hey Blood, I might be heading to bed within the next hour! If you don't want Raven stuck when I leave, then you may want to start working on ending this match.)

Raven, even though he had armor on, wanted nothing to do with getting stabbed by too many stone serpents. He roars to send all of his birds down and attack the net, his armor dings as the stone creatures connect with it, whipping his tail and his head around to smash them, he loses chunks of his mane and armor starts to fall off, causing him to get pierced by stone, he roars, filled with rage and pain, "You don't know when to give up do you!?" he spits @Fading
-
-
Hayden nodded as the cyborg dragon circled him, "Yeah I am a shapeshifter, watch" he shifts quickly, his tail sliding under Alfred and lifting him up into the air with the rest of Hayden's body. @Shadow

(Okay Fade)

(It's super late for me, so I'm gonna go ahead and call it a night.
See you all later!)

Seeing his opponent's vulnerability, Maelstrom let his personal barrier collapse and he darted into the sky, heading straight for Raven. Smoke billowed from his maw as he readied a flame, hoping to land the final blow. "Not until I've killed you!" he roared.

Raven bled silver from multiple puncture wounds, he snorts and draws in a deep breath, eyes turning pitch black, //You're not the only one with a breath attack// he parts his jaws and blast jet black fire down at the cyborg.

Alfred screamed in surprise when Hayden shifted and lifted him up, even though the dragon shapeshifter told him he was going to. Alfred eyes were wide and bright "that was so AWESOME!!! " He shouted with excitement,​ then took one of his claws and poked Hayden Playfully​ "that's just so cool! You where a Human and now your a Dragon! how does it work?! How Do you stuff yourself in a Human body when there so little and your so big?!"

Baring his teeth, Maelstrom released one last plume of fire which clashed with the Zeharu's black flame, producing a fiery explosion. Being the lighter dragon, the blast sent Maelstrom flying back once again, but this time he managed to spread his wings to lessen the impact when he struck the ground.

(Goodnight, Fluffy! ^-^)

(good night Fluffy!)

"Why are you licking your friend'ssss faccccce?" the blind serpent asks, baffled, "Doessss ssshhe tassste good or ssssomething?"

(Goodnight Fluffy!)

(I think I'm gonna have to go soon, too, my internet's starting to act up again.)

Hayden felt as Alfred poked at him, he tipped his head to the side, "That's a good question" he thinks on it, "I have no idea how we shift so tiny or how we shift at all!" he lets his mouth hang open in shock as he thinks about it more. @Shadow
-
Raven squeezed his eyes shut and was sent up higher, flapping his wings to steady himself, he felt worn out among other things. Taking the explosion as a queue to leave, he did just that. Raven disappeared into the sky, letting all his armor fall off as he made his way to the forest closest to the city. Landing, he shifts to his human form and falls on the forest floor, panting, "Wooo, that was fun, we have to do that again sometime, Teapot" he snickers.

23 got up and walked towards Claw. "See, we both have a scar to hide!" She whispers to him, making sure to not let the others know. (23 has a scar going from the top her forehead, across her right eye, over her nose, and crossing the left side of her mouth. Her left eye is shut.)

Breathing roughly, Maelstrom forced himself to stand straight until his opponent had vanished, then finally allowed his shoulders to slump from exhaustion. Every part of his body that could feel was throbbing, and he found that he couldn't put weight on his back right leg. "Next time, bird-brain. I'll get you back someday," he rasped, watching the sky before finally spreading his wings and wearily making his way back to his cave.

(Hehe, battles with Blood are always the most interesting. x) Thanks for roleplaying with me! I enjoyed that! I'll sit back and watch until I'm ready to sleep.)

(What time is it for you guys? It's just past 10pm for me)

(Midnight for me!)

(Midnight for me!

Thanks Fade! I enjoyed it too x)

UNTIL NEXT TIME TEAPOT!)

(Maelstrom: Another nickname for me, huh? T-T)

Alfred chuckled at Hayden "it must be Magic! Or something like that? Maybe?, I don't think it's because of something you eat? " An idea came to the gray Dragon and he hopes along Hayden "do you have any other fun tricks? My tubing glows but that not as cool as change one shape "

(You guys had such an eventful rp session. I loved it!)

(it's 9 for me )

"Uhm cool tricks...." Hayden makes a thinky face, "Yes! I do!" he flips around and manages to grab Alfred in his paws, placing him down on a rooftop, "Does this count?" he lights his entire mane on fire, even his tail tip, with a bright, brilliant orange flame.

(I miss so much TnT )

(Lol Shadow, you can always read over the comments, so you haven't actually missed out on everything. >v<)

(Did Lilly vanish again?)

(Don't you worry Shadow! Maybe, would you like to rp with me? Today or next week?)

Alfred watch as Hayden set himself on fire
"W-ooooah!!! You can roast marshmallows whenever you want with a flame like that!" Alfred grin and started looking through his bag for some marshmallows to roast

"Marshmallows huh?" Hayden watches as Alfred digs through his bag, he puts out his mane as to not waste energy, his black mane very warm from doing it

(lilly might have again,
Mythic sure! I'll probably head off to bed in a hour though )

(Oh! I should reply)

"I'm licking her face because I love my master! And she rarely takes her mask off! Why? Do you want to eat her?" Moon rated as she jumped off of 23.

(Wow, belated reply TvT)

(Yeah! I get that you'll head of to bed but I feuds we could try to do it tonight! I'll use Eltanin. He doesn't have a ref so bear with me.)

Alfred finally pulled out some marshmallow but a sad disappointed look was on his face when he notice the flame was out on the long red dragon"awwww...Oh well maybe next time..." he said putting his marshmallows away just before he snitching one, turning back Hayden "I'm so rude! I forgotten to introduce myself my name is Alfred! "

-

( I would say Von could stumble across Raven if you want but like I said I will most likely have to go to bed in a hour)

(ok sounds good Mythic, ^-^ hmmm if you could describing a little bit I'll see who to bing in)

Hayden felt bad when he put them away, "Oh! Nice to meet you Alfred! My name is Hayden!" he nods and circles above Alfred, "Maybe next time we can cook some marshmallows"
-
((We could and we could always pick it up next week))

( @fade, if your still here, Im back!)

(Eltanin had his dragon form which i have drawn. Our i could go with his human form. His human form is 6'7. He is usually seen in a long white lab coat. He has short black hair and green eyes. He is a pretty strong guy to! On his back, he has his the spines which, as a human are metal and retractable. I know i keep saying he's a human but he's not. He what is known as an astral. He does have a pretty strong connection with 23. Hope this has helped!)

Alfred chuckled " it's nice to meet you to Hayden! " The cyborg dragon eyes light up when Hayden mentioned about roasting marshmallows later "that would be great! Then maybe we can tell scary ghost stories and sing camp fire songs!"

-

Von continue to wander through the forest, he spotted a humanoid figure down on the ground panting //...... ........ This is rather odd...... Something doesn't seem quite right....// The Warlock pondered to himself as he watched in silence from the tree line.

(ooo sounds interesting Mythic, sure, hmmm now who should I use? *)

Hayden nodded, "Oooh it is getting late! Let's find a place to set up and start our campfire! I've never sung or told stories! I'm curious to hear yours!"
-
Raven laid fairly motionless, his metallic birds, of various sizes and shapes would tend to his injuries and then fly off. Not all of them, their glowing red eyes peered down at Von from the tree branches and Raven opened his eyes, turning his head to Von, "Who are you?" although weak, he speaks in a commanding tone.

23 smiled, showing off her solid sharp metal teeth. "They didn't call me old 'Mad-Dog for nothing!" She responded.
(Her "teeth" are metal but are not unusual metal spikes must hammered into her mouth, it is really just a strong, rider resistant piece of metal that has sharp pointed edges. She's got a terrible party that can explain this)

(Mythic I could use #SPShiroe he also has a Human form but I have not draw it yet)

(I don't know who you should use Shadow, possibly Nanashi?)

(Whoops! Sorry, late reply. Shiroe is awesome! I'll let you start!)

Alfred Smile big and clapped his paws together "sounds like a plan to me!, All we need is a good place for a campfire because I got the marshmallow already!"

-

Von burnt Amber eye glanced around at the Birds, some were watching him, as others were tending to the wound of the man // ...He is definitely no human....// Von was still calm even though Raven command
"I can ask the same from you...

"Well the city doesn't make a good place" Hayden looks around for a few moments, thinking, he then grabs up Alfred in his large paws and flies towards the forest, "See if you can spot a good place for a campfire!"
-
Raven groaned and stiffly sat himself up, "I was just lying here, you were the one who came to watch me" a few of his metallic ravens let out an ominous hiss.

Shiroe  trotted along the Shoreline heading to the city, the ruckus on the battle drove  BellTassel Kitsune out from the mountains.
the bell on his tail made a  WindChime twinkle sound

23 looked at Claw as he removed his mask. "Which name? 23, or Mad-dog?" She gave a small smirk. "If you want to see a scar, there is one dragon I know. His name is Emrys, he actually lost the top part of his muzzle while protecting his son. Emrys and i have never met but I know everything about him" 23 explained. Shelifted up her hand andlooked at it blankly as a worried expression began to show. Moon noticed her sudden attitude change.

Eltanin flew high I the blue sky. He to had heard the ruckus from the fight when he noticed Shiroe on the shoreline. So he decided to fly down, and swiftly shift into his human form as he landed infront of Shiroe.

Alfred keep his eyes open for a good spot to set up camp, when he spotted a good enough clearing he opointed at it "hay, Hayden! That looks promising!"

-

Von raised an eyebrow at Raven remark "indeed...But that is the question, why were you lying there in the first place?....Were you attack? Or perhaps the other way around? One does not simply sustain those kind of injuries" the hissing of the birds only added to the Warlock caution and suspicion

Hayden looked down at the spot Alfred pointed to, nodding his head, he set the bat-like dragon down and shifted back to his human form, stumbling forward as he landed. "Oooh okay, let's get some firewood and we'll kick it off!"
-
"I got into a fight with a cyborg dragon, we both banged each other up pretty good" Raven stands, he's shirtless but covered in bandages, he pulls his light jacket over his shoulders but doesn't do it up, "If that's all, I'm leaving"

Shiroe stop when Eltanin fly down from the sky and shifted into a humanoid form "that was quite the entrance there" he smirked

Eltanin looked at Shiroe, grateful for his compliment "right?" He snickered "Hey, have you, by any chance heard a ruckus earlier?" Eltanin asked Shiroe.

23 blinked quickly as she snapped back into sanity. Her head started to tilt as she was showing signs of pain. She put her mask back on as Moon approached and rubbed her head on her friend. "I'm fine. I was just having a flashback" she responded as she looked at her hand, wrapped in bandages, only revealing her metal "battle claws"

Alfred didn't hesitate and started to look and gather wood as soon as he touch ground, caring as much as he could the cyborg Dragon waddled over to a spot and they down his load "huzzah!! "

-

//...He took on a cyborg dragon?.... If what my assumptions are right he most likely a shapeshifter...// Von lend on his staff "no one stoping you..." Then he Gesturing over to a red thistle bush
" But if you need something to help with the pain you should take some nethrex thistle, most just assume it a weed but it does have healing properties, that if you need it that is"

(I'm gonna head off now, see ya next time!
See you tomorrow Shadow xP)

(Bye Blood!)

Shiroe scrunched up his forehead in thought "yaeh, I heard a bunch of noise, from over in the Mountain area, I figured it would be best to stay out of the way of what ever was going on"

(good night Blood! See you tomorrow!)

(I think I'm going head off to bed to, I can hardly keep my eyes open goodnight guys)

(Goodnight Everyone!)
