<strong>Name:</strong>Vainrence the Shadow<br/><strong>Current Form:</strong>Human to Dragon<br/><strong>Players Nearby:</strong>Xynoqsezoia, distant Kerberos<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Coastline<br/><br/><br/>For all that he did enjoy his human for, and what now seemed like hours ago but was truly only seconds ago he had planned on trying to really enjoy it, Vain felt far more comfortable in his own draconic form with things went sideways.   Of course, saying things went sideways at the moment would have been a cruel bit of understatement, and one Vain would have never made aloud.    One of their own had been killed.  Slaughtered and devoured really, and as grim a fate as that was, even more grin was the thought that a unknown entity had done it with a casual disdain.  It should not be so easy to kill a dragon, and this being had done so without effort.<br/><br/>Fanning his wings again in case flight became a need, Vain grunted lightly at the bump from Noqs head against his side, his long neck weaving as he nodded.   The female Amethyst was right, there were stronger together than apart, and even if he had been thinking more tactically then convincing the female to flee, he would have no trouble admitting he felt better for having her stand by his side.  Still that would have to wait for Vain was reaching out with his mind for the dragon shaped shadow flying away, an act would would definitely go down in his memory as a great big mistake.    Vain had hoped to gain some perspective on this dragon thing by touching its mind, perhaps nothing as grand as a motive or even a plot, but instead he at first only felt that deep and abiding emptiness.<br/><br/>And that was the best part.   No sooner had Vain been exposed to a level blackness even he had an Amethyst would shudder from, than the mind of Kerberos slammed into his own, causing the male dragon to drop into the sand, clawing and roaring at the pain in his skull as the nightmare creature tor through his mind as a bull would a china shop.   Nothing was seemingly left undisturbed, Vain's mind felt a shambles even before that finally lance of cruel pain struck his mind and drove him low, stunned and unmoving into the sand with a final roar that sounded pained even to his own ears.
