Zoticus turned to watch Hera and the young dragon, smiling as Marrow joined.<br/><br/>"Of course, my protection extends to all who seek it. Especially the little ones." The light dragon said. It was his duty to hold the darkness from overtaking the light after all, the sole purpose for his existence. Content with watching the young dragon explore Hera before settling down, Zoticus picked up on a laugh coming from nearby. Swinging his head and narrowing his eyes in the direction it had come from, the ancient light dragon searched for any sign of danger or darkness other than the natural kind.<br/><br/>Opening his wings slightly as the source of the noise approached, swinging on a vine, Zoticus prepared to defend the others should he need to. Seeing the dragon above them, and hearing his comments, Zoticus turned his head to the side questioningly. He watched as the dragon landed and looked around at them all before introducing himself.<br/><br/>"Greetings Tovar, and well met." Zoticus said, nodding his head to the new dragon. He studying Tovar carefully, trying to determine to which branch he belonged.<br/><br/>"If you wouldn't mind me asking, what type of dragon are you? It has become hard to tell with the many centuries that have passed and the many new dragons appearing." He admitted.<br/><br/>-----x-----<br/><br/>Thanatos scowled as he listened to Ki recount her tale.<br/><br/>"It doesn't surprise me that they broke the treaty, the light are known for their ability to turn others to their side." The dark dragon growled. He liked the idea of a battle, like the old days when the light and dark dragons were pitted against one another in deathly battles, where no treaties or bargains were in play.<br/><br/>Hearing the roar from Lazarus Sun, Thanatos turned to watch the vampire dragon stalking off, away from the sunlight. He hated seeing these weaknesses bestowed on his lineage. Why did such things plague his dark dragons, while the precious light dragons could walk both the day and the night? With a growl, Thanatos turned back to Ki.<br/><br/>"I like your plan. How many are left?" He asked. With their combined forces they would have some power, though if Zoticus and his crew caught on, they could be evenly, or even outmatched. And if what he had learned was true and the light dragons had taken dominance of this realm, they had their work cut out for them.
