-There's a path that leads to a palace that Kalseru had suggested to try looking at. As they walk up to the gate, a "poof" is heard as someone appears from the sky! She falls down in front of them-
XingPing: HALT! You will come no closer!
Kalseru: YEEP!! D: W-w-where did you come from!?
XingPing: You cannot pass! Stay where you are!
The Colors! Gallery moderators will look at it as soon as possible.

Mana: Aaand who exactly are you supposed to be!?
12 Sep, 2021, 7:17 pm
@ShihouxAdventure
XingPing: I am a warrior of the Xao Pei palace, XingPing! You are far too close here without an invitation! And...
-Walks up to Coordinan, and squishes his face, bring it closer to hers so she can get a better look. She gives a quick sniff before grimmacing-
XingPing: ...You dare bring a human with you. You traitor! *releases him before walking back the gate* Begone!
Kalseru: W-wait, I'm not a traitor! D: Coordinan means no harm, he's a good man!
XingPing: Have you not forgotten the atrocities they caused us?? You are so ready to forgive that!?
Kalseru: But they're friends now!
XingPing: ....What??
12 Sep, 2021, 9:59 pm
Mana: It's exactly what it sounds like, Goliath accepts humans now in his neck of the woods which is one of the reasons why this particular human is standing in front of you today. NOW the only reason why we're here is because one of our own people is missing, he goes by Ju-Long, he looks like a younger Goliath, has blue braided hair, and is this one's brother. If you haven't seen him then we'll quickly get out of your hair so we don't cause you anymore possible trouble in the see able future.
.
Coordinan shakes his head in the background while quietly confirming everything that his partner was saying while also blushing a bit after having the new close encounter with the new Dragonkin.

@ShihouxAdventure
XingPing: I am aware of Goliath's.... methods with humans. *Grumbles as she puts her hands in her sleeves* Ju-Long has told me stories. I assumed he was lying to gain my trust-
Kalseru: You know my brother?? :O
XingPing: ...Yes.
-The dragonkin looks away for a second before turning back around-
XingPing: ..I did not know you were his sister. And.. whoever this one is.
Kalseru: He is Coordinan, but more than that, he is my lover. .///. He cares enough for me and my family to go look for my brother. Surely.. surely that means something, if you indeed know my brother's kindness!
XingPing: *sighs before relaxing herself* ..I see. If what you are saying is true, Lady Kalseru, then I shall tell you, all of you, what I know.
Kalseru: H-hey, you do not need to give me that title. Everyone knows that. :'o
XingPing: You are of high status, I must. ..Ju-Long was here not too long ago. He is running an errand for the lord here. He will be returning soon.
13 Sep, 2021, 1:30 am
Coordinan: That's great, so I guess we'll just wait here until he comes back so we can take him back home!
Mana: *sigh* What a relief, we don't have to resort to our back up plan to find him. It would of been a efficient strategy, but I would of been overwhelmed with a truck load of work from doing so.
Coordinan: I got a question if you don't mind me asking, but do you know why Ju-Long came here in the first place?
13 Sep, 2021, 5:47 am
@ShihouxAdventure
XingPing: For.. different reasons. Usually it is just for a visit. He was taken here by Goliath when he was just a boy for training in the martial arts.
Kalseru: Ohh, so that is why he was always so good at it. :o I thought it was father who taught him!
XingPing: It is also here that I met Ju-Long. He was quiet, like he is now. But he has proven himself with his talents-
-As she was explaining, A whoosh was heard. Ju-Long flew down, carrying some baskets of assorted treats, cloths, bottles of beverages, and a few other things-
XingPing: You have returned. And with the requested items.
Ju-Long: *nods* ...Kalseru? Coordinan? Why are you here?
13 Sep, 2021, 7:48 am
Coordinan: I got worried that something bad may have happened to you, then Kalseru got worried, and some of your family members were as well since you didn't show up for breakfast or tell anyone where you were heading off to. So here we are, us two-
Mana: *clears throat*
Coordinan: I mean three volunteered to search and retrieve you, it's a good thing we started looking in the right place otherwise there's no telling how long we would of been out.
14 Sep, 2021, 3:57 am
@ShihouxAdventure
Ju-Long: ...Oh. .//.
Kalseru: Just "oh?" Ju-Long, we were worried about you! Why did you not say you were leaving today? And so early, too! ;-;
Ju-Long: I.. Don't know what to say.. I sort of do this on a normal basis.. ..But I do appreciate your concern, sister. Coordinan.
XingPing: It is to be expected. Hurry in, Ju-Long. The young lord is waiting.
Ju-Long: O-oh, of course! ...I am sorry you came all this way looking for me. ..I was going to have breakfast with XingPing afterwards. Would you like to join us?
14 Sep, 2021, 5:29 am
Coordinan: It doesn't feel right for me to stay longer than we really need to while our ride and the rest of your family waited on us to make it back and honestly I'm quite tired of being seen as the enemy around here. Kalseru what do you purpose we do.
He gives Kalseru the reins when it came to making a decision for the two. Having breakfast, aka the best meal of the day did sound nice but with everything else that was going on wasn't making him comfortable enough to be in an relaxed eating mood.
14 Sep, 2021, 6:21 am
@ShihouxAdventure
Kalseru: I wish not for you to be threatened as well, Coordinan. We should go where it is safe fir us to be together. At least until the news spreads more. XingPing, was it? Could you please find it in your heart to tell the others what has transpired towards the west?
XingPing: I-I.. I don't know if-
Ju-Long: *Takes her hand* ...You'd be doing this as favor for me as well. ...We must end the conflict between humans, Ping.
XingPing: ...Fine. I will do what I can. I will escort you back to your transport. At least then you will not be looked at so viciously.
-XingPing leads them back to their ride where Firch is eating a sandwich. He notices them and quickly stands up-
Firch: D-dah, you're back! :'D Okay, well uh, climb aboard!
Ju-Long: ...I will return when I am finished here. Please relay my message.
Kalseru: We will. Thank you as well, XingPing.
XingPing: Of course, Lady Kalseru. Safe travels to you as well, Coordinan.
14 Sep, 2021, 1:28 pm
Coordinan: Yes ma'am and thank you for getting us back here in one piece.
He let's Kalseru hop on first before doing so himself as he struggles again to put himself in his seat while almost slipping off before getting his balance. As he was strapping himself down he wanted to get a input from the other two companies that were closely accompanying him.
Coordinan: *quietly* Do you two think they have a thing for each other because I was kind of getting those vibes.
Mana: Same here, but I think it's to soon to fully come up with a answer for that. I mean we just meet one of them after all.
14 Sep, 2021, 5:27 pm
@ShihouxAdventure
Kalseru: ...Her and my brother?? Oh, don't be silly, Coordinan! They're just friends! xD
-She chuckles, but looks at Ju-Long and XingPing walking back down the path. She looks on, now unsure about it as Firch signals for the dragon to take off, whisking the group in the air-
Kalseru: Hmm... I would think they were, but Ju-Long is a quiet fellow. He does not talk about his personal life, let alone much at all. If he did have feelings for XingPing, he wouldn't say anything at all, as far as I know..
-Now Kalseru herself is thinking that as they soon land back next the stables-
14 Sep, 2021, 9:06 pm
Coordinan: Thanks for the ride Firch, I may come looking for you again next time I possibly need a ride. *hops off and stretches* Oh I'm so ready to eat, I hope there's still some food left.
Mana: Have your expectations low because I doubt there's anything left for you seeing as how many people was surrounding the table along with how big of an appetite Dragonkins have.
15 Sep, 2021, 6:18 am
@ShihouxAdventure
Kalseru: Mana may have a point. Scizwryn was there, after all. :'D If no one else, he most DEFINITELY ate more than everyone there. But we can still go to a stall for food.
-They make their way to a stall to grab some brunch-
Kalseru: Please eat as much as you need, Coordinan. I will do the same. ^-^
15 Sep, 2021, 12:01 pm
Coordinan drools over the selection of good that was presented.
Coordinan: Oh what a heavenly place this is. Thank you so much Kalseru, your one of the best things that has ever happened to me.
He gives Kalseru a tight hug before rushing to the stall to pick out what he wanted from the owner while Mana stayed behind with Kalseru.
Mana: Geez he could have let you go first, I should beat some more manner lessons into him next time. Say Kalseru I've got a question for you, have you ever thought about marriage and your life afterwards? I would think a older child of Goliath like yourself would have had many marriage proposals by now along with a possible fiance way before we first showed up, but here you are partnered up with my human.
15 Sep, 2021, 5:20 pm
@ShihouxAdventure
-Kalseru ats a bit before clearing her throat as to not seem rude-
Kalseru: Mmm... Yes. Though I have not spoke of this to Coordinan. I have had suitors come forward, and have tried to get in good graces with my father as well as my family. A small few have been kind, but others... Well.. *re-adjusts her dress* They wanted.. 'other' things. Being a woman yourself, I'm sure understand what I mean, Mana.
That is why I've come to appreciate Coordinan coming here. At first I was nervous that he may have tried something when were alone, but I wanted to believe he was different. ..Someone I could open up to more. My assumptions were correct, thank the Elders.
-She looks over at him eating, then back to Mana-
Kalseru: Between you and me... I've been nervous of how I should act around him. I've.. talked to my sister, Cellal about it. She has been telling me to try certain things to fight my uncertainty. And so far.. she was not wrong.
15 Sep, 2021, 7:46 pm
Mana: That's a effective way to go and I'm glad to hear he's passing your test with flying colors so far. He needs to learn how to get threw these types of feelings and situations on his own without my input every few seconds, put my teachings to good use.
She floats closer to Kalseru while flashing her a bright warm smile.
Mana: Just be yourself around him and don't stray to far to becoming something your not. I know for a fact that he fully cares about you and your feelings, he won't do anything to you without your permission or input. If you ever need another girl to talk to outside of your siblings then you can always count on me, look to me as your stepmother of sorts i-if you want that is!
Mana blushed while fidgeting in the air, nervous about Kalseru response to seeing her out of all people as a mother figure. Mana has taken care of the Flix and Coordinan himself like a mother would and she honestly wouldn't mind doing the same with someone she trusted like Kalseru, especially since she'll be together with her boy.
16 Sep, 2021, 12:16 am
@ShihouxAdventure
-Kalseru offers a warm smile to the tiny Flix as she offers her hand for Mana to land on-
Kalseru: I have not been able to talk to my own mother since the attack that took her life. I thank you for being there for me, Mana. Truly, I do.
-She gently knudges her cheek against the Flix as she now eats with a little more pep in herself. As they finished, Kalseru stretches as she stands up-
Kalseru: That felt pleasant. ^-^ Did you eat enough, Coordinan?
16 Sep, 2021, 2:31 am
Coordinan makes some inaudible noises while his mouth was full of half of a kabob that he was currently eating, he shakes his head up and down to say yes that he had enough to eat.
16 Sep, 2021, 6:46 am
@ShihouxAdventure
Kalseru: *giggles* I will take that as a yes. Well then, we have located my brother, and have had our fill. What would you like to do next, Coordinan? :o
16 Sep, 2021, 1:20 pm
Coordinan; *swallows* Well first we need to inform your father first about where Ju-Long is and then straight afterwards I would like to let you meet my side of the family.
He points at his back where is traveling bag was currently placed.
Mana: We'll give you a tour while everyone else inside can get familiarized with you so they don't mistaken you for a intruder.
Coordinan: You know for whenever you may need to use my bag when I'm not around.
16 Sep, 2021, 9:32 pm
@ShihouxAdventure
Kalseru: Yes, father should know. Let us go to explain it.
-They head back inside to tell of Ju-Long's disappearance to Goliath, which not only puts his mind at ease, but everyone else's. Especially Harane's-
Goliath: I'm glad to know my son is safe. Thank you, you two. ^^
Harane: Stupid. We're wondering where he is, and he's off chasing around after an eastern Dragonkin. >:T
Cellal: xD And here I thought Ju-Long was the shy quiet type. That's our older brother for you. ;)
Doryu: ....I don't get it. .-.
Sciz: Er, that's probably for when you're older, Doryu. xD Good job, Ju, never would've guessed!
Kalseru: ^^'
16 Sep, 2021, 11:42 pm
Coordinan: Now that we've settled the case of Ju-Long's disappearance me and Kalseru have a meeting to attend to. Alright Kalseru I need you to stay right there and stand as straight as you possibly can.
He proceeded to take his bag off and open the inside.
Mana: This process should be pretty straight forward, okay?
17 Sep, 2021, 6:34 am
@ShihouxAdventure
-Kalseru gulps nervously. This process is kind of making her a bit on edge. But she does do what Coordinan says and holds her position-
Kalseru: L-like this..?
17 Sep, 2021, 1:31 pm
Coordinan brings the bag up over Kalseru's head and instantly brings it down like she wasn't there at all, her whole body was gone with only air taking here place. He directed his speech to Goliath along with his family as he spreads the bag out as wide as he could on the ground.
Coordinan: Can one of you look after my bag while we're gone, I don't need it being stolen by someone I don't know.
He and Mana jumps into the bag as if it were deeper than it appeared to be before being transported to a different world. Inside was a sparkling crystal blue filled sky with these giant geometric shaped objects that would silently bump into each other before bouncing into the opposite direction. When it came to the ground it was glimmering like pick glass but was solid and soft like any other home interior, along with it's apperance multiple strange blue light would come striking pass by.
17 Sep, 2021, 10:25 pm
@ShihouxAdventure
Sciz: Sure comrade, leave it to us!
-The group watch as the two go into the bag. Kalseru, meanwhile is looking around in awe and amazement. Everything just floating around, the atmosphere.. It was a lot to take in!
The effects are reflecting off of her eyes which are very wide right now-
18 Sep, 2021, 2:20 am
As Kalseru is distracted a giant swarm of small dark colored lights circle around her before grouping together into this huge glowing black snake that was ready to eat her whole before Coordinan and Mana entered the scene. Coordinan holds Kalseru tightly in his arms as Mana gets in the snakes face with a stern look plastered on her face, the snake instantly stops and looks at Mana with a terrified expression.
Mana: What do you trouble makers think your doing attacking our guest, now get out of that form right now and apologize!!
The snake quickly comes apart as multiple of the dark lights from before turn into a light yellow and circle the three new arrivals.
Flixs: S-Sorry
Mana: *sigh* I really can't be mad at you all this time, I should have come to mention this in advance.
Coordinan: Sorry about that Kalseru, they take protecting this bag and myself VERY seriously.
18 Sep, 2021, 5:45 am
@ShihouxAdventure
-Kalseru looks as though she's in a trance with background for the first few seconds. But soon she snaps out of it-
Kalseru: *Slowly turns to Coordinan* ..THIS is what was in your bag?? D: It's.. It's so pretty in here...! Oh my.. My body feels so strange here..
-She's really impressed with this. Coordinan can see the genuine expression of how much she thinks it's one of the coolest things she's ever seen on her face-
18 Sep, 2021, 2:53 pm
He was surprised that Kalseru wasn't being her usual nervous self in this new environment, kind of goes to show that she really hasn't been anywhere besides where most Dragonkin roam since she was so intrigued.
Coordinan: Yep a whole nother world was hidden inside this normal looking explorer's bag. It's my room, bed, armory, library, wardrobe, treasury, and most importantly home.
Flix: So why is this lady here anyway?
Mana: Today we'll be giving her a tour and possibly total access to the bag as well.
All the Flix gasped before having a heated conversation with Mana and themselves about letting someone else use the bag when and how ever they wanted to outside of the bags current owner such as Coordinan. Mana tries to calmly get everyone to calm down before losing patience.
Mana: EVERYONE SHUT UP!! I know this isn't something we usually do, but I bet you all would change your mind if you knew who this is. This is the dragon girl Coordinan was seeing a year ago, Kalseru.
It got quite before a giant uproar emerged filled with screams and squeals alike.
19 Sep, 2021, 12:52 am
@ShihouxAdventure
-Kalseru jumped a little from the uproar from the Flix, but she calmed herself again as she let her eyes wonder around her new environment-
Kalseru: I assume I am sort of.. 'big news' here, yes? :'D But I still cannot believe all of this... All of it, is in that tiny bag! :o I could stay here forever! !! W-well, maybe a few months, haha. >//v//< And if I was with you and Mana, as well as the other Flix, maybe longer than that. c:
19 Sep, 2021, 3:59 am
An older Flix who looked like they were in their 70s in human years tries their best to give Kalseru a hand or more like a finger shake.
.
Flix: Your a loud to stay and use this place as long and as much as you would like, it's wonderful to finally meet our Coordinan's lover in person. We've only had descriptive stories and details to go off of about you.
Flix 2: Huh, I was wondering what those two were going on about a white haired Dragonkin.
The tomboyish Flix points to three other familiar ones who were waving, it turns out it was Flo, Bo, and Moe. Another Flix and her twin pitched in at the same time with the objective to embarrass they're human family member.
Twins: We didn't think he would ever find a girl for himself this early, more so since he doesn't have many out there masculine features to support him in doing so.
Coordinan: *growls* Both of you be quite, no one asked for your useless input!
Mana: Any questions Kalseru because if not we can go ahead and give you the tour of our home/world.
19 Sep, 2021, 6:05 am
@ShihouxAdventure
-Kalseru can't help but laugh at the twins' description of Coordinan. She warmly smiles at them-
Kalseru: You say that, but I was thinking of myself. xD But there is more to it than appearance. And I think that Coordinan, despite me being a Dragonkin, wasn't scared off. But instead, he was infatuated instead. He has also proven that he does care for me enough to protect me, even when it seems hopeless.
For that, I truly admire him.
-Kalseru turns away, a bit embarrassed to be saying those things. But she meant them-
Kalseru: I would love to see more. Please, show me around. 'o'
19 Sep, 2021, 7:56 pm
Twin Flix: Aww, SHE'S SO CUTE!
Coordinan: *blushes* Ah geez.
Mana: *giggles* Alright you two, let's get a move on.
All the Flix go back to doing they're thing as Coordinan and Mana guide Kalseru around to give her a view of the place.
The armory had rows of different normal and unusual looking weapons that were placed in these display cases that were coming up from the ground, some of the items didn't even look like weapons but it would be best not to judge a book by it's cover when it comes to this place.
Speaking of books the library was filled with books that were stacked together like a giant hill with different sections and flying ones that looped around the area, there was even a extendable ladder place there for someone who needed to grab a book themselves without the help of a few of the Flix who were flying around reading through some of the books or sorting them out.
Coordinan's personal spot wasn't anything special, it only consisted of a air mattress, desk, pencil, stakes of paper, and a out of place thin booth that leads to a sizeable closet that has a large line up of outfits.
Lastly when it came to the important spots (that I feel like mentioning) came the treasury which was-
Coordinan: Almost impossible to find, it's a temple that teleports to a different location every week!! I explored the deeper parts of this world trying to look for it but got lost in the process all of the Flix had to come fetch me, along it gold and jewels it also holds onto really secret important items that past users of this bag owned.
Mana: Even us Flix don't know how to track it down and it would be best if you didn't stray to far away from the familiar areas so you don't get lost yourself. *claps hands* Okay then, I think that covers about everything.
20 Sep, 2021, 2:15 am
@ShihouxAdventure
Kalseru: S-so expansive... I did want to look around more, but if what you say is true, I wish not to get lost here. D:
Honestly Coordinan, I don't know how you survive in here every day..! It does seem like a wonderful escape from the outside, I will admit. My family could've used this when the Noir Knights showed up that day.
-She trails off to some distant memory, but soon snaps out of it-
Kalseru: O-oh, but this is a nice room you have! That bed seems... strange. I've never seen one like it before. .o.
20 Sep, 2021, 7:01 am
Coordinan: You'll get use to it the more you wonder around, really the big problem is trying to find a secured spot to live my bag while I'm inside so it doesn't get stolen or sweep away.
.
He felt bat that he couldn't help them during their dier times, it would of been real convenient to hide her and her family inside the bag whenever the Noir Knights were running a muck. He could of even possibly had the ability to save her mom during the time...
Coordinan: That's a air mattress, the inside is filled with air that I've pumped in to have a good night sleep in.
