Trade moves back and forth through the two barely connected landmasses with ease. From the south, deserts and small tropical islands dot the landscape. As you move northward, small brush comes into being, followed by twisted trees. Eventually, one gets far enough north where forestland becomes common, and wildlife roams about almost carelessly. This makes it one of the most prized hunting and trapping locations on the whole of Ceres, especially with trade being what it is.

				<br><strong>Name:</strong> Vael (http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/07/Vael_Human_Form.jpeg)<br><strong>Current Form: </strong>Human<br><strong>Players Nearby:</strong>Open<br><strong>Location: </strong> On a beach somewhere near Dras'Usarak (Draishok City) <hr><br>It had taken Vael hours to do anything, the sun had long set before he took to the sky. It was night time, the stars had always sparked the same curiosity that digging into the earth did, but on a lesser scale. He had noticed the tides change when the white rock was in the sky or when the yellow one was (during the day). In his time looking in the sky, he had seen a red and even a blue rock out in the black sea (sky). The smaller specks (stars) looked like the granite flakes he had dug out of the earth, some shinier then others. A set of sky flakes drew his attention far in the horizon, it was those lights he followed until his wings felt they would fall from his back. <br><br>During the long flight he learned fear for the first time, fear of being engulfed by the water, the endless water. When the nesting grounds vanished behind him he almost turned back, the urge to return to his cavern was strong. At one point he did try to fly back but he was lost out at sea(in the air)! The same specks threatened to vanish into the morning hues, it was early morning when he spotted land and with a surge of adrenaline and survival instinct, he landed harshly on soft beach. A large rock, the kind that no other being would ever be able to move or make use of looked like paradise. The last bits of strength were used to rip a cavern into the rock with the claws powerful enough to rip into the rock like a hot knife through soft flesh. The rock cave was large enough for him in his human form and with that thought, he shifted before collapsing in a slumber that lasted days! <br><br>Vael did not know of the outside world, he had seen his own clutch mates take different forms but was unaware of the politics that played outside the nest. When he woke a few days later he felt his stomach rumbling, the urge to shift and hunt was strong but his lack of energy made it impossible. He would be stuck in his current form until he could regain his strength. Vael knew the ocean held a bounty but when one was famished, patience was not abundant. That was when he came across brown shelled stones (coconuts) that had white flesh within it, yellow sweet moon slivers (bananas) hung from trees along the coastlines. These exotic foods were new to him, they were not as filling as hard shells and fish, but after eating his fill he managed to regain enough energy and patience to try to pull some out of the water.

				<div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">GM POSTING</span></div><div align="center">Tagging: Aiden</div><hr><hr><br>Little Hiyrin had been up upon the rocks gathering shellfish near dawn, when a large beast of a kind he had never seen had dropped upon the beach with a thump hard enough to be felt under the waves a few yard offshore. By Drai'shok standards, he was not more than a boy. In order to not be seen, he dropped beneath the water almost completely, leaving only his eyes and the top of his head for the small waves to roll past.<br><br>Over the next few days, he watched with curiosity and astonishment as a man seemed to take the place of the large, scaled beast. From what he was able to tell, there was nothing wrong with it outwardly, other than what appeared to be exhaustion. Each time he came up from the seas the man was either gathering more food, or eating. He never did manage to pull fish from the water though. Perhaps he didn't find the bouty of the sea to his liking?<br><br>His question was soon answered when the man approached the waters, obviously seeking some form of sustenance. With a small, but audible splash, he dove down into the deeper waters just past the dropoff where his home lie beneath the waves. Spotting one of the larger, meatier species, he quickly bore down on it, and grabbed it by the tail. Pulling a small knife from a sheath on his ankle, he bludgeoned the thing into lifelessness with a sharp pop. One learned at an early age not to spill blood. Too many predators used the scent of it, and that was the last thing he felt like dealing with. <br><br>Kicking hard but steadily, he made his way back up the beach, head and shoulders cresting the waves as he dragged the seven pounds of meat upwards. Locating the man as he stomped about like a child would, Hiyrin gave a sharp whistle and tossed the scaled thing up onto the beach behind the unknown man.

The subterranean dweller would normally go long periods of time without surfacing and only eat when one of his friends would have him in their thoughts and go looking for the mining dragon. But his hunger had never been so powerful, the fruits were filling but it lacked the sustenance his body needed to actually recover its strength (Protein). Because of his lack of strength he was unable to fish and his waning patience made it harder, he had not even thought of making a tide pool like he had back over by the nest! <br><br>The fruit had helped, the sugar kept him going but he smelled the scent of fish before hearing it drop behind him. Vael had never pounced on anything so fast, the heavy fish was a bounty and with alarming speed he grabbed his flint knife and scaled the heavenly offering. Slabs of filet were cut from the creature in long strips for him to chew on, the excess spilled over his chin to produce a consistent meal for him to devour as more flesh was stripped from the fish until all remained was organs and bones.&nbsp; <br><br>Only after he had that first chunk of fish in his mouth did he look for the source, since fish did not fall from the sky! He saw a youngling, a boy? His skin was tinted like the color of some of his fellow clutch mates but it had been a long time since he saw a child that size. Realizing the child had fed him he waved and smiled. "Thanks." He called out, not knowing if he understood him or not but he did lift the remains of his fish to show he appreciated the gift. The meal in his belly was taking its immediate effects on him, soon he would be able to fish and have patience to do it himself, even set up his tide pool. But he kept looking over to the boy with a curiosity and realization that he could be of the people who made the tools he had discovered deep in the earth.

Being as young as he was, he hadn't ever really heard the Centos language, which was obviously a problem when it came to communication between him and the strange man-creature. His knowledge extended only to the written aspects, as forming the sounds needed to speak anything but the Drai'shok tongue underwater was nearly impossible.<br><br>Being a child, however, meant that his curiosities often overruled common sense. Wading out of the water until the waves lapped at his thighs he studied the man openly, eyes tracing contours where he knew the scales just <em>had</em> to be hidden. <br><br>Furrowing his brows, he tried to remember the words that he had learned in his eighty-six years of life. As he spoke, it was entirely clear that forming the words were a struggle for him in what was still basically an alien tongue to the child. <br><br>"Fl...Fly yoou?" To try and emphasize his point, he flapped his arms like a bird then pointed at Vael, curiosity clear in his eyes. There would be no doubt that he had seen what he had- if he managed to get his point across.

He had encountered beasts in the forest who were far protective of their young in his human form and he was not about to risk it. His question made him chuckle, had he seen him land? Vael looked into the sky and nodded, assuming he did not speak his own common tongue he pointed to the sky. "I fly." He confirmed before he slowly stood and cleared a small patch of beach sand. A finger drew the shape of a dragon (top view) in it for him to see before he pointed at the rock he had bore into with his claws. If the boy looked close he would be able to see the slash marks his powerful claws had left in the&nbsp; rock. "I dig." He declared, demonstrating it by digging into the soft sand before pointing into the ocean. "You swim?" He asked, the motion to swim was rather foreign, but he tried to make the motion. The communication was basic but it was nice to come across someone else after a few days of near starvation. <br><br>

Once Vael began drawing in the sand, Hiyrin cautiously crept forward the rest of the way onto the beach to observe. Tilting his head curiously, he tried to match the shape with anything he knew, and ended up drawing a blank. When the cave was pointed to, he scrunched his eyes and walked right up to it.<br><br>Running fingers across the harsh slashes in the rock, he peeked inside, but didn't dare go in. Common sense when underwater was to never enter an unknown cave. Eels and all sorts of vicious other things commonly lived within the dark crevices, and he was sure it was no different on land. <br><br>Turning attentions back to Vael finally after his curiosities were sated, he simply stared. The words were still foreign, but it was becoming slightly easier as he listened to the actual sounds instead of reading them to interpret meaning. Little Hiyrin chuckled outright at the swimming motion and nodded. "I s-swim." Pointing out at the ocean, then at himself, he spoke further.<br><br>"Hiyrin, home." Seeing that the fish was nearly completely gone, he walked over and picked up the remains, and tossed them fairly hard into the surf. "No wasting. More hungry?" He half made to head back into the water, the surf licking past his ankles as he turned for confirmation.

Vael remained seated on the beach watching the tides come in and the peace that followed when your belly was full. When the boy took the fish remains and tossed them into the ocean he saw reason in his wisdom. "No, thank you." Vael shook his head, if they could not communicate efficiently, they could at least guess with their body language. His hand moved to rub his own belly, signaling he was full.&nbsp; <br><br>News that the boy lived in the water sparked curiosity, He wondered if he lived in a underground cave system or something else, something he couldn't imagine. "Thank you Hiryn, My name is Vael." Vael nodded at the boy, pointing at himself when he gave his name. He figured his full name would be to hard to remember and kept it simple for the boy's sake. It seemed his savior had to return home, it was a humbling experience for Vael to rely on someone so young, a meeting he would never forget. Deep down he hope it was not the last time he would see the boy, hopefully next time under better circumstances when he was capable of hunting and fishing on his own.

Naturally, some of the crew were craving dry land. Personally, she didn't think anybody who couldn't handle half a moon length on the water, deserved to be a pirate. Her crew was good though, one of the best on the seas. Her ship too. Most captains had a special attachment to their vessel. Amadaiya was no different. With its carvings and inlays, its fine craftsmanship, and well maintained condition, the Rising Sun was a work of art in her opinion. Which meant she was not happy about the damage it took in the storm a few days ago. With winds that blew with the fury of nature and waves that could engulf any ship, they were lucky to have come out of it at all. Though they lost a few good men overboard, and the ship was in desperate need of repair. They did what they could at sea, but some things needed anchoring and supplies to be done right. Which is why they were headed straight for the city of Esum. They would drop anchor and make port for a few days while they did repairs. It was a city she had been to before, they treated sailors well there. Though, they weren't exactly sailors. They were pirates, thieves, misfits and treasure hunters. They weren't bad exactly, at least not evil. But honor among pirates was a different kind of honor. <br><br>Amadaiya cracked her neck from side to side then downed the caramel colored spirits in her glass. She supposed it was time to go check on things. She stood from the rounded table in her quarters. Tying a strip of cloth around her thick black hair to hold it together in the black, she then picked up her hat and placed it upon her head before exiting her quarters. <br><br>The crew was busy at work, work that never stopped on a ship like this, especially a well kept one. Each with their respected job, it was all done with efficiency and minimum fights. People fantasized about being a pirate, running away and being free. But the truth was it was work, just like anything else.<br><br>She made her way up to the steering deck in order to get a better look. Her eyes scanned for her First Mate, Xanthe. She didn't see her at the moment. It was strange and unusual to have two women running a pirate crew people said. It wasn't natural. Amadaiya and her crew would just have to agree to disagree about that. Though she did have occasional conflict with a occasional crew member, or a passerby they picked up. However, she has proven herself worthy of the title Captain time after time. <br><br>"Land ho!" Yelled the man up high looking through a telescope. "We be making our way to Esum. She's far off. But we'll be there before sundown if the winds stay in our favor." <br><br>"Good!" Amadaiya replied, her voice commanding yet relaxed. "Adjust the sails and navigate us towards it." <br><br>"Aye, aye, Captin'" The man replied.

The next few days were spent fishing and eating the local game. The dragon began to fatten up and prepare for another flight. He wanted to go home, back to his lair and its caves. Curiosity and adventure just weren't for him but as he planned his journey back he realize he vaguely knew how to use the stars to navigate! Vael was lost, but his birthlands were across the oceans, the bright star in the sky could not be trusted to send him back home or could it? It still shone bright in the black muck in the sky and he decided he would fly out early one evening after several days on the beach. <br><br>The flight began without incident, the star lit his path back home and all was well until no land was within sight and he began to doubt himself. Vael flew on early into what should have been the morning but the clouds were grey and the water swelled angrily! The dragon knew storms but he had never flown near one and the fury of the skies was blocking his path! He was forced to fly elsewhere and hoped he would be able to get back on his route soon but he wouldn't be able to fly as long as his siblings could. <br><br>Unknowingly, Vael went north from his original North east route and saw something peculiar in the blue expanse of the ocean. A wooden craft, from its current state it appeared it was being tossed around by the storm but he didn't know what he could do with such a thing. Bells rung out loudly and he saw a man point at him which gave him reason to believe he would not be happily accepted. Vael flew on away from the storm, eventually spotting land at last! <br><br>Vael had landed near the coast of Esum.

However, soon enough the large ship sailed into port and her crew made busy work dropping anchor and steadying the ship. Each crew member knew his or her job perfectly, they moved in such a way to and foe across the ship's decks that if one set the screen to music, it would look as if it were a artful dance. <br><br>Amadaiya grimaced at the idea of having to get new recruits used to the sea life. But she had to have new people in order to make the harsh trip trip she planned. She just thanked the sea gods that she wouldn't be doing the hands-on training herself. In that moment though, she also questioned coming here instead of the nearby Dra'shok city. But most of her crew were Centos', and Centos cities usually ... fit them better. <br><br>For now though she had that and more business to attend to in the little seaside city. "Xanthe," she called to her first mate, "you have command of the ship, make sure things get done and settled. You know the drill." Her reason for leaving now was to get into town and into the taverns before it got too late. A drunken man may be easy to recruit. But she cared about quality of skill in her crew, and she needed to see them before they became too intoxicated to show their skill. <br><br>With the board down, she walked off her ship, leaving it in the capable hands of Xanthe. She weaved through the streets and the people until she got to a tavern she had visited before. With a sly grin upon her lips, she entered the establishment. Making her way to the bar, she took a seat, ordered a drink, and watched the people around her. Taking in their behavior, demeanor, body language. When a worthy came in, she would know it.

He had learned his treasures were worth a small fortune, but chose not to sell them all. Money was useless, what did he want to do with metal chips, other then melt them down? Considering how long he had lived, he learned so much in a few short days. One day, he passed by a local metal forger and asked if he could learn. The old man looked at the man and asked him to heave his hammer against the anvil, once he could do that one hundred times in an hour, he would be ready to learn. Vael was learning how to mold heated metal that day, his mind picked up lessons meant to take years to learn, practice and master. <br><br>His master had even worn himself out teaching the dragon an urged him to visit the taverns to socialize so the man could rest. Those nights, Vael learned he could be a bar guard, the tavern would pay his meals and he just had to throw out a few people when they got rowdy. Vael was not an intimidating looking man, he looked far to clean cut compared to the pirates that came to port, but many learned not to fuck with the guy who could lift three of them over his head and toss them out like sacks of grain! <br><br>"Go on, get out." Vael had a 250 pound man over his shoulder, tee drunkard was making crude remarks at a wench, the worst offense was his lack of money. With one heave, the man was tossed out the door a good seven to eight feet before Vael returned to his drink at the bar.

Her stomach&nbsp; was in knots, the salty sea air seemed to make her feel a bit nauseated, but normally the young female would be just fine. She ignored the annoying feeling by making herself busy. There was just to much to be done. Xanthe made sure that the others worked hard to make repairs to the ship.&nbsp; She pitched in a bit herself, in efforts to get the job done making repairs to the ship so it could be done as quickly as possible. After a while Xanthe decided to take a break&nbsp; while the others worked. Now feeling relieved that she wasn't feeling sick anymore. Giving out orders was a breeze the crew worked well together under pressure.&nbsp; The sun soon seemed to be setting the sky turning a pinkish glow. Amadaiya still hadn't returned, Xanthe decided that she would have to head out shortly to see where she was if it grew dark. Xanthe knew Amadaiya could handle herself, but would worry about her a bit.

Old men and young men. Not that old men weren't useful for their wisdom, and young men for their naiveness. But not quite fit what she wanted. Except for one, a solitary man who seemed to be the resident guard. He was fit, and strong. Very strong. Her only question was did he have wits and would he obey a woman. She kept an eye on him for awhile. He didn't seem to drink on the job and the way he lifted thar man and threw him out. If nothing else he might make good dumb muscle. If he had any sea legs that was. <br><br>With a gulp she downed the remaining of her drink and stood. Her brown cape moving dramatically as she did. A few of the men gave her glares. It was obvious that they were not used to women here that were not serving them in some manner. Though they did not make any move against her yet. They guessed what she was by sight of her swords and her hat. Gritted teeth and grumbled comments are what they sent her way instead. She didn't care. She had her crew's respect, respect which she had earned. These men were but&nbsp; grumbling rats in her mind. She just hoped the one she wanted wouldn't be the same. <br><br>She wove her way over to his corner, her eyes directed upon her intended entire time. When she reached him she stopped and simply remained silent for a moment. Then she grinned, her lips curving into a cleaver smile, her eyes had a playful twinkle within them. "Impressive." She said with a lifted eyebrow. Only a single word, though she gaged it to be enough to spark dialogue between them. She assumed he knew it was in reference to him throwing the man out. And if he didn't, she didn't care

				<br><strong>Name:</strong> Vael (http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/07/Vael_Human_Form.jpeg)<br><strong>Current Form: </strong>Human<br><strong>Players Nearby:</strong>Amadaiya <br><strong>Location: </strong> The Old Salt Tavern<br><strong>Tagged:</strong> Amadaya <hr><br>There was a reason Vael didn't get paid any coin for his work, he ate like a damn dragon! The bulky dragon in human form was on his fourth plate of mutton and had demolished an entire loaf of bread an was working on a second. He was not over eating, he just had the capacity to eat a lot in the vent food ran scarce. When the woman in the cloak came up to him he was ripping the meat from the bone as if it was a hot knife through butter. Vael didn't know much of social graces, he chewed his meat and gulped it own as he looked over at her. "Better then anywhere else, it is good enough." The man agreed with the food, assuming that was what the woman was inquring about. <br><br>"Someone bothering you?" He asked before he took another bite and chewed it down before cleaning his chin and cheeks with a piece of bread and pushed it into his mouth.

				Deshco Corran<br>Haas-Filoth<br>The Old Salt Tavern<br>Tagged: Vael, Amadaiya<br><hr><br>Deshco adjusted his hood a little to widen his field of vision, his blue hues watching the clean-cut male through out the vulgar sailor. He'd been watching Vael most of the evening, since his own arrival, marking the man as a curiosity. He didn't know of any man who could lift so much weight as if it were a mere sack of barley. Then again, he didn't know much of anything about things not of the Haas-Filoth. He finally had taken his fate into his own hands, and left the arid lands to seek adventure and glory, and perhaps a few new scars. However, Vael was not the one he would tangle with. Deshco was a good enough fighter that he could see Vael being not worth the recovery time he would have after the encounter, and well, Vael seemed like he could be rather likeable.<br><br>A dark eyebrow arched as he spied the female enter the room. A female captain, that was something rare to these people. Compared to the matriarchal society he had come from, men seemed to resent a woman in a position of power, if the glares the woman were getting was any indication. He let a smile come to his lips, and took a sip of his brew. The hooded male relaxed as he watched the two, though it was pointless to try and listen in, he was not close enough, and the tavern was just noisy enough to cover their conversation. He'd wait, until the time was just right.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/7a/Amadaiya-avatar-picsay.jpg)</div> <strong>Name:</strong> Amadaiya Solaris (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=160364.msg7720468#msg7720468)<br><strong>Location:</strong> Old Salt Tavern in Esum <br><strong>Players nearby:</strong> Vael, Deshco Corran<br><br><hr> <br><br>She raised an eyebrow at the man and his appetite. That could pose problems, since food at sea was limited to what you could carry on board and the fish you could catch in the sea. But nonetheless, she still wanted his talents upon her ship. It seemed as if he didn't quite fit in here. The ones who don't fit in make the best pirates. <br><br>She ignored his first comment, she didn't care about his opinion on the food which he downed. Instead, she answered the second, the question. "Many things are upon my mind if that is which you mean. I have a damaged ship with crew slots to be filled and hardly a worthy body in sight. Though if you mean rather that there might be something to do with you which bothers me. Well, the answer to that is yes, no, and maybe." It was a roundabout response, but Captain Soloris was known for giving such at times. A good leader had to have skills with speaking and sparing of tongues as much as swords. <br><br>Her next move was thus; she sat down. Without permission and without warning she pulled out the chair across from the man, swept her cape back and sat. She tilted her hat back upon her head ever so slightly, then crossed her arms, leaned back in her chair and looked at the man once more with raised eyebrow. "I have a proposal for you. If you care to hear it, that is." She told him and awaited response.
