The Dragon Cave - A New Era (IC/Started/Not Accepting)

[Durandamon]

[color=#800080]"Kobalt, huh? That's a nice name..."[/color] - Leon giggled at Kobalt's childish manners - [color=#800080]"Yeah, Tank is a Balloon Dragon. He is really slow and fat[/color] ([i][color=#ff0033]Hey![/color][/i]) [color=#800080]but he flies really fast when there's wind, you know, like a balloon. That's kinda cute."[/color] - he then bowed when Venus saluted him, still with his bow drawn.

[i][color=#ff0033]"Heh. Nice to meet you, Venus! I hope we become...oh!" [/color][/i]- both Tank's and Leon's attention was taken by a flash of light, and they both spotted the same couple of black wings. Leon pointed his compound bow at them -[color=#800080] "Sigh...if I must...Creature! You have but a second before our arrows and swords pierce you! What do you intend here!?"[/color] - Tank absorbed a lot of air, puffing up into a giant balloon - [color=#ff0033][i]"I guess we must fight. Call the order and I'll blow him into a gust!"[/i][/color]

[Big Bad Pennar]

The Moment Leon Drew his bow, Inarovana Appeared through the forests behind Nevirath, Letting out a threatening growl at Leon, Nevirath had Cowered Behind the Moonstone Dragon, whose Tail was Glowing Brightly. Nevirath blanked out the moment she saw the glow of the Moonstone and calmed down quite a bit. Nevirath hid under Inarovana's Right Wing as he Glared at Kobalt and Leon rather threateningly, and communicated the Same way that he does to Nevirath, A Series of Growls and other noises, Their Dragons could understand Inarovana as [color=#000080]"Now Look at what you Did! You Scared Miss Nevirath to near death!" [/color]Inarovana Roared at Kobalt and Leon, Likely freaking out the others...

[Ren✧]

While Kobalt was expecting something to come from the bushes, he was not prepared for what he would see. Taken totally by surprise at the quick reaction of the Moonstone Dragon, Kobalt fell back on his butt. [color=#0000cd]"OW!" [/color]Kobalt complained as he stood back up, rubbing his hindquarters. He quickly remembered the situation and once again raised his daggers, but something about his stance said he didn't feel to threatened by the new comers. In fact, he was clearly interested. From what he could see, beneath the wing of the Moonstone dragon lurked a creature that was neither dragon nor human.


[color=#ee82ee][i]"Are you friend or foe?" [/i][/color]Venus growled at the Moonstone dragon, not taking kindly to the obnoxious roar that had caused her hatchling to stumble and make a fool of himself.

[Durandamon]

Leon didn't see it coming, and he was still a bit asleep, so when the Moonstone Dragon appeared, Leon released the bow's string, and shot his heavy arrow. Luckily, it hit the ground near the dragon, and not the dragon itself. When it roared, he rolled backwards into a crouching stance, and drew his bow again. Tank released all the air from his lungs, creating a strong current of wind that pushed him behind his partner - [color=#ff0066]"Speak your intentions, or I'll burn you~"[/color] - he chimed with joy, oblivious of whether he could breath fire or not. -[color=#800080] "I'm not afraid...at all! Kobalt, you too, focus!"[/color] - when Leon was about to fire his arrow, he saw something that made him put his bow down. Guarded by the dragon's wing was a creature that looked like it was half-human and half-dragon. Leon panted, and waited for the Dragon's response. - [color=#800080]"What the...?"[/color]

[Big Bad Pennar]

Inarovana then growled rather irritatingly [color=#000080]"If we were your foes, You would not have lived to ask that question..."[/color], again, Only the Dragons could understand what he was saying, but When the Heavy Arrow landed near him, Inarovana was about to swing his tail at Leon when he heard a Familiar set of Growls, The Dragons could understand it as [color=#4b0082]"Stop, We're here to try to find Deinarva, Not to make Enemies"[/color], Inarovana Growled back meekly in response and coaxed Nevirath to walk out of the shelter of his wing, She then Spoke to Kobalt and Leon [color=#4b0082]"I'm sorry about Inarovana, He's actually quite protective of me... Oh, How rude of me, My Name is Nevirath and this is my Partner and Best friend, Inarovana..."[/color]

[Cherz]

Matthew was quite suprised by the new appearance. He had his bow drawn, but he never fired. He waited for the possible foe to show their self before he made any rash moves. Ditzy had already preped a daydream cloud incase the person was a foe. But, they never had to use it. The person was actually a dragon. Well, it was a dragonian, but its not like he knew that. "So, your just passing bye. Wait, your the one who stepped on the twig back in the forest!" Matthew suddenly remembered the shadow of a woman slipping into the foilage.

[Alice Moonflowyr]

Lintra had been watching this whole scene with a queer intrest. "So, like, your half-dragon half-person? Thats pretty cool. Can you fly? Can you breath....stuff? What kind of dragon is your dragon half?" Lintra would have gone on, except Adreus slapped his tail over her mouth with a hint of a smile on his face. [i]Little one. We talked about this.[/i] He said bemusedly. [i]Nevirath. Greetings. And.....I dont belive I know you. [/i]Adreus directed this last part towards the Moonstone dragon. He tipped his head sideways curiously, and his antlers caught a bit of light. "Hey, the rain's letting up!" Lintra said gleefully, pushing Adreus' tail away. "Good thing too, I'm SOAKED!" [i]I wouldnt mind drying off either...[/i] Adreus thought publicly.

[Big Bad Pennar]

Nevirath giggled when Adreus slapped his tail over Lintra's mouth, but then came a garbled Telepathic Message coming from Adreus. Nevirath held her head a bit as she had a small headache, This Telepathy thing was definitely new to her. Nevirath growled quite a bit at Adreus, then said [color=#4b0082]"That felt a bit uncomfortable... But Since the Rain is letting up, I'm a Half Nebula Dragon, and yes, I can breath out Stardust, and I can fly, Although it's tiring to do..."[/color]. Nevirath stretched out her wings, although quite wet, but she was still able to fly, She then continued [color=#4b0082]"I'm looking for my brother"[/color]...

Inarovana looked at Adreus and growled at Adreus [color=#000080]"and I've never met any of you before, I'm just passing by with Nevirath, Trying to find her Younger Brother, A Purple Nebula Dragon[/color]..."

[Ren✧]

After learning that the new appearance was not a threat, Kobalt quickly lost his immediate interest, not because the subject of a half human/half dragon was uninteresting but because there was something slightly...bigger that caught his attention. Dashing over to the person that introduced himself as Zayne and his dragon, Tsunami Soar he once again started his rapid fire questioning and chattering. [color=#0000cd]"Hi Zayne, my name is Kobalt. Over there is my dragon partner," [/color]Kobalt directed pointing to Venus [color=#0000cd]," her name is Venus. Wow, your dragon sure is big. How big is he exactly? Oh..." [/color]Kobalt said, realizing he was being extremely rude. He just realized he was treating Tsunami Soar as he would a normal animal. [color=#0000cd]"My apologies, mighty dragon. I guess my question is actually for you. How big are you?" [/color]Kobalt continued fawning over the new arrivals, Zayne and Tsunami Soar, Venus still stood conversing the dragonian and her dragon partner.

[i]"How interesting. I've never actually seen a dragonian before. Of course, Kobalt and I have heard stories of them," [/i]She said, flicking her tail in the direction of where Kobalt had ran off to. [i]I swear it would take a thousand dragons to keep up with that hatchling [/i]Venus thought to herself.

[Durandamon]

[color=#800080]"Nevi..rath? A half dragon...amazing."[/color] - even if he didn't look like it, Leon was amazed at the sight of such a strange and beautiful creature. He got up, saving his bow, and his arrow in the quiver. He then walked up to Nevirath and greeted her with a handshake. - [color=#800080]"I apologize for my previous reaction. I guess I overreacted."[/color] - he took some steps back, and walked next to Kobalt - [color=#800080]"Still...a half-dragon? How is that..."[/color] - Leon was suddenly stopped when a blast of wind made him lose his balance, falling to the ground. Tank, who formed the wind, slowly floated toward Nevirath - [color=#ff0066][i]"Just be glad we have new friends, Leon. It's a pleasure to meet you all~"[/i][/color]

[Cherz]

Matthew Laughed silently. Kobalt made him laugh. The 10 year old was really cute. He blushed then ran to Zane. "Hi, im Matthew. Sorry bout earlier, a draconian girl is in the trees. That over there is my day dream dragon, Ditzy. Try to focus around him, he accidently might put you in a day dream. What brings you here. The Draconic knights meating?" Matthew aked. [i][color=#40E0D0]Hi, Im ditzy. Matthew is a bit upset, but who blames him? I accidently put him in a daydream while we were travling here. A neglected attacked, and he got a wee bit upset. Tsunami soar, cool name. Can I just call you Tsunami, or Soar? [/color][/i]Ditzy said. Matthew then dashed over to Nevirath. "Hi, Im Matthew, the master of repetitive introductions." Matthew said with a smile.

[Big Bad Pennar]

Nevirath growled at Venus, Again, The Telepathy was garbled, She shook her head a bit and said [color=#4b0082]"Yeesh! What do you guys keep doing to me? it's hurting my head..." [/color]Inarovana immediately knew what was going on, and Growled at Venus [color=#000080]"Please Excuse Nevirath, She never had to learn any sort of Telepathic communication between anyone, And the Technical term is Draconian..." [/color]Nevirath was a bit startled, This Telepathy may be useful in finding her brother, She remained silent until Leon started apologizing [color=#4b0082]"It's okay... I get that quite a bit... Oh, and the Technical term for a 'half-dragon', as I learned from a teacher back in school, is a Draconian..."[/color]. She completely ignored Tank's Telepathic Message, as focusing on that would only lead to another headache...

[Yang Xiao-Long]

"Hello there, Kobalt, Matthew," greeted Zayne as he finished sliding down the wing of his dragon. "If you're speaking about my dragon, his exact height is...how tall are you, again, Soar? It's been a while since I've kept track of your size." Soar replied simply, [i][u]I am approximately 70 feet tall, with a wingspan of 54 feet.[/u][/i] Soar let out a small, yet deeply gruff, dragon chuckle that rumbled through his throat as he addressed the little boy in front of him. [i][u]No need for apologies, Kobalt. I may be a mighty dragon to you, but the rest of nature merely considers me a giant animal.[/u][/i]

Zayne turned his attention to the other one, Matthew. "Well, I didn't know about any 'Knights' meeting; I came here looking for allies. My village down by the coast was utterly destroyed by an entire swarm of the forbidden Neglected Dragon breed. Soar and I were the only survivors..."
[i][u]So let us not speak of that time again so that we may focus on the task at hand.[/u][/i] "Right," Zayne replied with a quick nod.

[i][u]And Ditzy, [/u][/i]began the giant dragon as he turned his head towards the Daydream Dragon, [i][u]you may simply call me Soar.[/u][/i]

[Jolta]

Otto appeared amused. "Draconian... why does that... ring a bell? I've never read about them even after studying dragons-"
"[i]I believe this would be a refresher...[/i]" Osiris then released a silent dolphin-like squeak, beforetaking out an odd, ancient book from Otto's back.
"Diary of Otto Penelope Joltingson?" Otto was stunned, this wasn't hers, at all. "Oh right."
She opened the book, and found a really well-coloured, well-drawn sketch of a 'draconian' that awfully resembled Nevirath in every single way.
"[i]There is a chance, only time can tell, but ah well...[/i]" Osiris took the book and placed it back in Otto's bag, "[i]It wouldn't be a surprise, seeing that Dragons live virtually endless lives. Draconians too don't simply die that easily either, I suppose.[/i]"

[Alice Moonflowyr]

Adreus shook his head and muttered to Lintra; [i]We must get moving soon. Why do these people insist on waiting to find out where the cursed Neglected live....[/i] "Hey, be patient bud." Lintra said under her breath. "First of all, we're meeting each other for the first time. Second, we have a fraking DRACONIAN with us." [i]Fine. Five more minutes.[/i]
"Hey guys, mister dominant pants here says we have five minutes to get moving." Lintra pointed at Adreus as she said this, and was quite obviously holding down giggles. Huffing, Adreus spread his wings and beat them, mercilessly showering down a couple bucketfulls of water on Lintra. "Hey! So not cool!" she protested, but laughing at the same time.

[Ren✧]

[color=#0000cd]"That's huge..." [/color]Kobalt said, staring up into Tsunami Soar's face. Suddenly Kobalt was hit with a glob freezing water. He turned to see that Adreus was playfully attacking Lintra. Kobalt laughed at the sight, but then swiped the smile from his face. It was far passed time to start moving. Kobalt waved to Zayne and Soar as he made his way over to Venus. Venus gave a polite nod to those she was conversing with and turned to face Kobalt.

[i][color=#0000cd]"Have you found out much about our teammates?" [/color][/i]Kobalt thought knowing that Venus would pick up on it. [i][color="#ee82ee"]"Besides their names, which I am still juggling around in my mind, nothing overly important comes to mind. They all appear more than proficient in battle, but only time will tell." [/color][/i][color=#0000cd][i]"So you trust them, then?" [/i][/color]Kobalt asked.

[i]"Little one, it is too soon to tell. Besides, you know it takes a lot for me to trust anyone enough to take care of my little hatchling." [/i]Venus said all this privately to Kobalt, not wanting any of the others to know what they were saying. She finished off by puffing a small cloud of pink smoke in Kobalt's face making him cough and laugh at the same time. Picking him up with one of her talons, Venus set Kobalt on her back. If they were going to get moving, better sooner than later.

[Big Bad Pennar]

Nevirath looked as Adreus threw water all over Lintra, which both she and Inarovana busted up laughing, She then realized about what she heard [color=#4b0082]"So, This is a Meeting of Knights... Would you mind that I Tag along with you? Maybe I can find my Brother much faster that way..." [/color]She asked Lintra and Adreus, Then asking Inarovana about the idea, Which he agreed upon, because having more than 1 group of people could help find Deinarva... Nevirath and Inarovana stood by and waited for their answer....

[Alice Moonflowyr]

Beaming, Lintra said "Oh please come! Hanging out with a bunch of boys is so boring sometimes! And we could talk more, cus I really want to know more about this whole Draconian thing. Can you, like, BECOME a Draconian after you've been born? Or do you HAVE to be born one? Or...." [i]OK, now I'm getting rather annoyed with you.[/i] Adreus said sternly.[i] You need to shut up sometimes. Anyways, yes, Nevirath, you can come. Maybe I can help you with this...telepathy issue you seem to have. [/i]"Sor-ee Adreus. And by the way Inarovana, you look really pretty! I always liked Moonstones. But Drakes are the best. Anyway....oh. I'm doing it again arent I?" Adreus gave a brusqe nod. Lintra blushed, looking extremely embaressed. "Sorry. In short, yes you can come! Please do!"

...

[i]Found out. Must make sure I'm not followed.[/i] The Neglected raced on mercilessly towards the mountains, when he fell in a deep hole. [i]What. Where. How. Location unknown. [/i]Around him, dead hatchlings were everywhere. The Neglected shuddered. [i]Wrong. All wrong. Dead. Not dead. Wrong[/i][i]. [/i]Out of nowhere, a huge black-and-red dragon landed next to the hole. [i]What is this? [/i]The voice was definatly male, and strangly maternal at the same time. [i]A Neglected? Unfortunate little thing....is there anything I can do for you? [/i]The Neglected was quite confused, as it wasnt used to this kind of attention. [i]Do? For me? Does not...make sense.[/i] The red-and-black dragon tutted, and said; [i]Right....you wouldnt be used to this...come here.[/i] The dragon curled up next to the little Neglected, who was in shock. After a few minutes, the color faded from it's scales, to be replaced by a bluish tint with white patterns. [i]A Royal Blue....[/i] thought the red-and-black dragon. [i]I....dont.....dont....[/i]The Neglected fell asleep mid-sentance.

[Big Bad Pennar]

Nevirath then gave a Slight giggle, Saying to Lintra [color=#4b0082]"Draconians are born, and They are Very Rare... In fact, I've only met 1 other Draconian and heard stories of only a few others... Each Draconian has the same properties as their Dragon half. I'm actually not sure if Neglected Draconi-" [/color]It turns out that Inarovana also believes that Nevirath talks too much as the Moonstone on his tail started to glow, Nevirath had immediately stared at the tail with a trance, Her normally purple Irises in her eyes turned white. Inarovana did a weird combination of a growl and a laugh and Growled to Adreus [color=#000080]"And this is how to shut Nevirath up..."[/color]

[Cherz]

Matthew muffled a laugh. he couldent help it. Matthew decided he wanted to know what happened. "Inarovana, what exacly did you do to nevirath? Does it involve the moonstone on your tail? Why did her pupils-" Matthew was cut off by ditzy, who was fed up by this conversation. Matthews pupils were absorbed by his blue Iris. A small, pink cloud placed itself on top of Matthew's head. [color=#40E0D0]That is how you shut matthew up.[/color] Ditzy told Inarovana with a smile. [color=#40E0D0]Now, shall we proceed with the meeting? Matthew, do you agree we should get started?[/color] Ditzy said. Matthew nodded his head.

[Alice Moonflowyr]

"Get started to where though? We have no idea where the Neglected could be...." [i]Uhmmm...I belive I can find some assisntance in that catagory.[/i] Adreus said sheepishly. "What? Whaddya mean?" Lintra asked him. [i]I um....know a dragon or two who might...want to help. Wrayym and Jack. [/i]"Wrayym? OH NO. We are NOT dealing with that creep again!" Lintra went on to explain to the rest of the party; "Wrayym is a female Vampire dragon that helps souls cross from the living side of the world to the [i]other[/i] side of....the..sides...uhmm...what was I talking about? Oh right. Wrayym. Anyway, she's really creepy and weird. She talks funny, and the graveyard she lives in is all misty and foggy, so she pops out of the fog on all sides....creep." [i]Except Wrayym isn't evil like most vampires. She put Angealus in his place didn't she?[/i] "Yeah..." to the rest of the group she said; "Angealus was a terrible vampire dragon that tried to anihilate my house and all the lands around it. He even tried to kill off Wrayym's realm. So she, uh, dusted him." [i]We've said enough.[/i] She thought to Adreus. [i]No more. And we arent going to see Wrayym....[/i]

[Cherz]

Ditzy gulped. He knew matthew would side with his human friend. So, he decided to leave Matthew's say out of the "vote". He also knew that only the humans words had an impact on the group. [color=#40E0D0]I thought the Draconic knights were here to stop the neglecteds at any cost. Now, I understand fear, but if you have met this Wrayym, and she has not killed you, then I thnk we would all be fine. Matthew, do you agree? [/color]Ditzy said, in a lawer like fashion. Matthew, still "asleep" nodded his head. Ditzy then said [color=#40E0D0]Who all agees?[/color] He turned his gaze from Lintra to Venus, and secretly told her [color=#40E0D0]If we do go, hen keep that boy safe. He will be the most vulnerable of the group.[/color]

[Ren✧]

[color=#0000cd]"Do we have another choice?" [/color]Kobalt asked, surprising everyone by easily putting it in perspective. [color=#ee82ee][i]"I do not trust Vampire Dragons, but the little one is correct. That is, if no one else has any suggestions." [/i][/color]Venus thought, projecting it to everyone. She then nodded to Ditzy, saying that she received the message. It was true that alone Kobalt would be an easy target, but he had Venus by his side and she knew that she could protect him...even from the undead power of a Vampire Dragon. [color=#0000cd]"I say we go. We cannot let fear rule us," [/color]Kobalt said, surprising everyone yet again with his wise words. [color=#ee82ee][i]"Sometimes it is the youngest of us that can see the world the best," [/i][/color]Venus said, agreeing with Kobalt. Their votes had been cast, now was not the time to dawdle, they had to strike fast before the Neglected learned how powerful they really were.

[Alice Moonflowyr]

[i]Well, Wrayym isn't the only option.[/i] Adreus thought to everyone. [i]Jack is also liable to give us information.[/i] "Jack? You mean that wacko Pumpkin dragon? The one who tried to freaking EAT us?" Lintra shouted back at him. "That's a worse idea than Wrayym! Jack's insane, and you know that!" [i]Psht. Does it matter? Besides, I've heard talk that he's calmed down quite a bit. Even has hatchlings. [/i]Adreus said. [i]You object to both my options, yet cannot come up with any of your own. Lintra, Kobalt is right. You are letting fear rule you. Besides....I'm no longer the hatchling I was when we first encountered Wrayym and Jack. [/i]The last part was said with a quiet, yet powerful, authority. "...Fine. Jack first though. I still don't like Wrayym." Lintra prodded Matthew. "Come on lazybones, get your ass in gear. We're seeing the Pumpkin King".

[Big Bad Pennar]

Nevirath weighed the options, A creepy Vampire Dragon or an insane Pumpkin Dragon. She then decided to take the other path, since the rest will see that Pumpkin Dragon, Nevirath's mouth opened, but Nothing came out of it because she was so fixated with the Moonstone on Inarovana, but then She started to think, but little did she know, Her thoughts pierced through and she started to communicate telepathically to Lintra [i][b][color=#4b0082]"Actually, I was thinking of splitting up and paying a visit to the Vampire Dragon first..."[/color][/b][/i]. She did not see it, but when she sent the Telepathic message to Lintra, She screwed with her sense of balance during the duration of the message, Likely causing her to fall over...
