				No one really knows from who's mind the creatures sprang, even to this day. What scholars have managed to gather, however, is that the planetary alignment of our star system and several others were responsible in part. It was an event never seen before, and one that will likely not occur again for several long millennia. However it happened, the tenuous veil between reality and dream was broached, sending creatures of myth and fiction pouring forth into the world of Ceres.<br><br>In an uninhabited mountain reach, a sonic boom lit through the night air as twelve sleek forms soared from what could only be called a tear in the night sky. The coloration varied, but it seemed that there were two of each, and six of the twelve decidedly pregnant. For weeks they traveled by night alone, unsure of the dangers of being seen by what may inhabit the world they had come to be on. Eventually, an opening in the jagged earth was found. <br><br>Well hidden, and several thousand feet up, the opening to the cavern system was nigh impossible to get to and even harder to see. All twelve forms arrowed toward the opening, and quickly flitted inside. For nearly a decade, the creatures cleared out all manner of beasts from their new home. Carcasses were burnt to ash so as to leave no trace of anything that might harm the future generations that were still housed safely within female bodies. <br><br>Once the caverns were deemed safe, or as safe as they could have been, the building of nests began. Each pair gathered materials, then melted and burned them into shapes and sizes suiting their own needs. It wasn't long before the males were quite literally chased from the nesting areas, and the process of laying the eggs into nests began. Spheres of varying colors and sizes soon filled the small areas, only waiting for the perfect moment in which to awaken and hatch. <br><br>Female bodies curled protectively about the nesting sites, letting not even their mates in close. It took another decade before the first, single egg began to rock violently. Arrow-shaped heads swiveled up, watching with intense curiosity as tiny spider-webbing cracks appeared on the perfect golden surface. With a deep, body vibrating hum, the adults began to sing to the young ones still not awake.<br><br>The entire process of hatching took nearly seventy years, with only one little stillborn emerald in the clutch that went uncounted for. In one go, the species had grown exponentially, and was well on it's way to flourishing on it's new home.<br><br>The coming of the Dragon, had begun.

Come afternoon-time, the only places warmer were down on some of the lower cliffs, but he enjoyed the breeze that whipped through the mountaintops up so high. The sun beat down on mercury colored scales, and reflected almost mirror-like back into the air. Idly, his the tip of his tail tapped at the stone beneath him.<br><br>He had been there for nearly five hours now, eyes half-slitted, simply watching the birds nearly a mile downwards as they flitted about the treetops. It had been a long time since he'd bothered with such a small meal, having grown to proportions where he'd have to eat dozens of the things to even feel minutely full. No, his appetites were definitely more oceanic by this point. He loved the giant fish that often graced some of the bigger reef systems on the coasts. The things would keep him full and glowing for nearly a week, though a bit sluggish for a few hours as he digested the rich white meat.<br><br>It had been a lazy day for him, as he'd just returned from imbibing that morning on one such fish. The thing had weighed nearly two hundred pounds, and he'd torn into it with gusto.

She was in her human form which could fit into many more places including where she found a lovely pool. Or rather fell into a lovely pool. The problem she kept having is forgetting which crevice she had exactly slid through to get here. And she was getting hungry. She spun around and stopped, choosing a direction that didn't lead her directly into a wall. She found the nearest crevice and went through. Her human form was nearly perfect for this kind of exploration. She was lucky in choosing her path and made her way back to a tunnel large enough for a dragon. She slowly transformed back into her dragon form, taking her time. She was still pretty deep in the caves, though now she could see light. She wondered briefly exactly where she'd come out of the systems. Her stomach grumbled at her and she stalked towards the brighter end of the tunnel and out into the daylight. She grinned. She'd inadvertently found another entrance. Probably too small for the original matrons to find in their search of the nesting caves.<br><br>She quickly started to fly around their home, making sure to mark the cave with her claw before going into the jungle for some hunting. While it belong to the nest, she enjoyed knowing she might have been the first to discover it.

For some reason, last night she decided to return to her family’s main area within the caves. Here, she had been forced to resume her natural form of dragon rather than humanoid due to vision deficiency and the constant cold which plagued her skin while in humanoid form. Her parents choose one of the darkest areas due to their dislike for the sunlight ruling when they should stir from their sleep or not. The gentle sound of snoring caused her to glance over to where some of her siblings were sprawled out on the floor, a mess of tails and wings. Curiously enough, none of them were cuddled together for warmth nor did they touch each other. <br><br>If someone’s tail or wing even brushed another’s body, they would snap and growl before placing a small amount of space back between them. They only touched where absolutely necessary, and the cold did not prove to be a good enough reason for physical tolerance. She yawned quietly with a stretch of claws and limps accidentally whacking her long tail against the wall. The movement caused the old rock of the cave to crumble down under pressure directly onto her mother’s head. The older dragoness merely cracked open a golden eye before falling back into the lure of slumber. Saf could only let out a quiet sigh of relief since there was no escaping her mother’s wrath. Not wanting to stay in the coldness anymore or risk flaring one of her siblings’ desire to constantly fight with each other, Safiya hopped down from her impromptu bed with a soft thump of her weight against the stone floor. It was a practiced art which she had honed well over the years. Being quiet often saved her from interacting with those who she did not enjoy. <br><br>Not looking back to her still sleeping family, she began to walk stealthily through the&nbsp; corridors of the cave, careful not to draw unwanted attention to herself. Soon enough, she could smell the fresh scent of the outdoors. Just from smell, Saf could tell she had slept a bit later than usual, but then again, she had troubling dreams last night, which kept her up later than usual. It was an odd mix of being forced into some type of wooden cage while someone she could not see constantly poked her with a stick. Even though it seemed impossible, the thought of it kept her up long into the night until even the bugs stopped making noise. It did not take long until she reached the entrance of the great caves, bathing herself in the rich sunlight. Again, she yawned before swishing her long tail. Yet, she was not content to laze around in the sun. Her stomach was growling, and she knew better than to expect her mother or father to feed her. She was old enough to take care of herself in their eyes, and if not, she deserved to starve to death. <br><br>Stepping out further from the entrance, she extended her wings to get some feeling into her muscles before shifting them up and down. Looking upward, she could see the shadow of some forms falling on the rocks, but they were too far away for her to distinguish who it might have been. Saf had no intention of flying even though she no longer made her usual blunders of nearly falling out of the sky. She still preferred to stay on the ground which proved much more predictable in her eyes than the skies. Not truly caring what she filled her stomach with; she headed the steep rocks with her ears perked for the sounds of even the smallest critter sneaking through the tall grass. Her nostrils flared at the scent of something just to her right. There was no warning sound as she pushed off her hide legs, keeping her wings close to her body, before diving with the preciseness of a lynx. Her tongue darted out to lick at her chops as she readied herself to sink her teeth into whatever unfortunate was about to meet her gullet. Only…she missed. <br><br>Saf looked up just in time to see a decently sized rabbit disappear into its underground burrow. All she could do was huff, but thankfully, there was no one around to witness the hunting failure. Her inspiration for hunting vanished so she quickly shifted her wings about, gaining distance from the ground&nbsp; before landing directly next to Ky, who looked completely relaxed. The scent of food permeated the air but she did not bother to look in Reo's direction. <strong>"Have you eaten yet?"</strong>

Her scales glistening and sparkling like al royal cobalt sapphires. Such a joy it was to fly free, to let the winds lift her wings and guide her across the skies. What a lovely day to do it too, with the sun reflection off her back, warming her. Her deep blue eyes stared down upon the land beneath her, rocky ledges by the cavern, where she could pick out the shining scales of some of her siblings and cousins. Her eyesight like an eagle's, being able to pic out many details.<br><br>She flew further off, over the nearby trees, scanning for some prey to catch and practice hunting on. Unfortunately the areas around the nest had long ago been picked clean. So, she simply circled and did impressive acrobatics in the air. Flips and spins, tosses and turns. How wonderful it was to feel like this to know she could be so high above the land, so free with the wind...

It wasn't a huge ledge, so they'd still end up touching, but Ky wasn't the sort that minded being touched, especially by those she considered friends. She could have shifted to her human shape and made even more room, but she was enjoying the sun on her scales far too much to go quite that far. If the ledge had been a bit smaller she would have done it, but it was plenty big enough for the two female dragons to be cozy.<br><br><em> "Have you eaten yet?"</em><br><br>Opening her eyes fully, she let a small smile curve her lips up, baring a flash of sparkling white teeth. No doubt to anyone, to <em>anything</em> other than another dragon it would look rather ferocious, but Safiya would know it for the grin it was. <em>I've thought about it, but the sun just feels so <em>good</em> on my scales. I haven't really been able to be bothered just yet. Want to relax a bit with me?</em><br><br>As she asked she glanced up to where both could see Reo up above them and Ky shivered just a bit, <em>How does he stand to be up there in the wind when it's so much warmer down here out of it? It must be a silver thing. Smells like he's been fishing too.</em> As she spoke her stomach gave a low rumbling which she then matched with a soft chuckle, <em>I suppose hunting might not be a bad idea. Something red blooded though, all hot and bloody and able to at least make the hunting a bit of sport. I think I saw a herd down in the valley before I settled in on the ledge. Want to check it out?</em><br>

				<strong>Name: </strong> Dakeyras 'Dak'<div class="floatleft">(http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q642/JDBane/Untitled0_zps42f480d5.png)</div> <br><strong>Current Form:</strong> Golden Dragon<br><strong>Players Nearby: </strong> Kyriannan 'Ky', Safiya<br><strong>Location: </strong> Near the ledges outside the nest<br><hr>The young man woke up, his long, powerful body stretching lightly against the confines of his sleeping habitat. He growled, groaned, craning and rolling his neck around. Once that was done, and he could feel the stiffness leave that area of his body, he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, blinking furiously before he rolled onto his stomach, and, placing his hands on the ground, he shoved himself up to his feet, remaining on his haunches for a bit before pulling himself up, and stretching his full, muscular length. As tall as he was, the cave ceiling had been carved out for a dragon's full height, something that he didn't even reach halfway. He chuckled a bit, feeling a dull ache in his stomach, telling him that he was hungry. And he wasn't one to leave that ache alive for very long. He chuckled a bit, feeling energy flowing through his limbs like the fire that he could breathe. <br><br>He broke into a run, closer to a jog at first, but he slowly picked up speed. He could run faster than any human alive, he knew, and probably most dragons, since few took the time to run anyway. But his father had insisted that he be the best in every aspect, and who was he to be a disappointment? His bare feet barely made a patter a he nearly flew over the dark tunnels, seeing perfectly. He felt the icy, still air of the tunnels slowly give way to the warm, gentle breeze as he approached his favorite exit. Why it was his favorite exit would be revealed in moments. He increased his speed, calves burning, a light sweat creasing his naked body, as he arced a turn, and saw the light of the outside beckoning him. He didn't slow down. He didn't even pause. Instead he ran straight to entrance of the cave, and jumped...<br><br>Into a straight drop. That was why he liked it. <br><br>His leap carried him for almost 30 feet before gravity defied the inertia of his jump, and slowly twisted his fall down. He enjoyed the sense of vertigo as the angle arched, and he suddenly was plummeting down. He meticulously angled his fall into a perfect dive, letting himself fall for a few seconds before letting the golden fire out of his mind to run rampant through his veins. The feeling was instantaneous, and he felt like he was being skinned alive, burned, and having each and every bone in his body smashed into dust. It was a swift transformation, but far more painful than his last one. That only meant that he was still growing. He felt the wind suddenly resist his wings, and he twisted them around into a 45 degree angle against his fall, and flapped vigorously. His fall was twisted into a gliding swing, so close to the water that his claws gently skimmed over it, before he lifted his flight upwards. His golden scales gleamed proudly in the sunlight, and he looked at himself, not being able to resist the rush of power that suddenly coursed through him.<br><br>He flew about for a few minutes, not wanting it, but letting the rush die, before he caught the scent of some other dragons. He looked around, and saw Ky, his fellow golden dragon, and Safiya, enjoying a slow roast in a sun-touched rock. He looked up, and saw Reo flapping his wings, teh smell of prey in his breath. He didn't really care for the male, so he allowed his flight to bring him closer to the two females. <br><br>He approached, as subtly as a dragon could, and alighted himself gently on a rock near them. He snorted, letting his heart keep pumping blood to his limbs in case he wanted to beat a hasty retreat. He heard them speak of a hunt, and his was suddenly reminded of his hunger, a bit more prominent now that he was bigger. He nudged himself gently, as gently as he could, anyway, into the conversation.<br><br>"I would like to join you, if I could," He said, his deep voice rumbling over the rocks," I could do with a meal right about now," He nodded, and snorted a bit. Not at them, of course.

It was something different than the day-to-day status quo.&nbsp; She inched forward, fighting to make any headway at all.<br><br>The wind gust died and she made a sound that would have been a giggle if red hair hung down her shoulders, but was more of a screechy squawk.&nbsp; Moving forward again, the light behind her dimmed as her mass increased to that near the size of a horse. Before long she was full sized again.<br><br>Seeing the mouth of the cave looming ahead, and a nice flat ledge out beyond it, she walked out onto it.&nbsp; The ledge was weak and gave way, sending her tumbling down.&nbsp; It was unexpected and her brain froze, though it wasn't the first time that it had happened.&nbsp; <br><br>She landed hard, right beside Reo, her tail over his snout and her butt high in the air.&nbsp; The ground shook with impact and a cloud of dust poofed out around them.&nbsp; After a second she rolled her tail off his snout. <em>Ouch</em> she thought loudly to him.&nbsp; <em>Sorry, Reo.</em>&nbsp; Her big green eyelids closed over her golden eyes as she blinked. <em>Oh look, Safiya and Ky are down there with Dak!</em>&nbsp; She sniffed the air. <em>You've been fishing. </em> <br><br>She peered at the male and nudged him with her snout affectionately. She had no hard feelings with him, but she didn't want him to bite her either. <em>You seen Acid around lately?<br></em>

A few were sunning like himself, though a bit lower in the warmer areas. Ky had surmised correctly in her assumption though, Silvers were built for ice and snow, and the bit of cool air was comforting to the large silver. Eyeing the gold that was only slightly larger than himself in height, Reo gave a small huff of dislike before a small pebble hit his snout where it lay. Then one pebble became five, then a cascade of dirt as Amber tumbled down the cliffside. <br><br>Turning his head and neck to shield himself from falling dirt and small rocks he waited for it to be over. When he opened his eyes once more, there was a green tail draped across his nose. Looking at her, both slightly amused and slightly annoyed at the fact that she had gotten him dirty Reo <em>hated</em> feeling unclean. He gave his head a hard shake when she removed her tail and flowed to his feet with a slow stretch.<br><br><em>Yes, they're down there, and yes I've been out hunting. Caught one of those large flat headed swimming things. So much meat on them. Delicious. I won't need to eat again for several days at least.</em> Giving a small huff, then a little sneeze due to the dust, the ground beneath his snout immediately turned white with frost.<br><br>At the little nudge, he returned it a little rougher, meant to be slightly playful as well showing that unconscious need to assert dominance. Not that the difference between the two little headbutts was all that noticeable. He wasn't out to hurt anyone. <em>No. Though I haven't been inside for most of the day. He's either out and about, or still in there.</em>

She wanted to sink her teeth into something now rather than later. <em>Couldn't we nap in the sun afterward with full stomachs?</em> She suggested impatiently while maintaining the delicate balance of not accidentally falling down the ledge. That had happened one too many times in her youth, and it was not fun to recovery from those aches and pains. <em>Or we could drag the carcass up here.</em> She took a moment to consider that suggestion with a sharp exhale from her nostrils. <em>No, that might be more trouble than its worth.</em><br><br>Safiya did not mind sharing her space with Ky since she dd not have to worry about the other dragoness trying to snap out of her. Out of all their years together, a small trust had developed at least from Safiya's perspective. Yet, even still, she did not make an effort to move closer than necessary. Her tail swished up and down before she turned her neck around to peer over her shoulder in the direction of the rolling lands of greens in the distance. With their conversation turning to Reo, her eyes lifted upward to stare at him. Her snout scrunched up with unexplained annoyance shimmering with the deep pools of her eyes. <em>Yes, smells like fish to me too. It stinks..</em> One could not be sure if the insult was to the dragon's catch or him. Either way, Safiya did not bother with a elaboration. The more they talked about food, the more Safiya was ready to go find a suitable meal. For some reason, her ability to find food and capture food successfully rose when she hunted in a group. Saf knew this to be a weakness so it was one she constantly worked to overcome. In the future, she wanted to be as ready as possible to nourish herself on something other than rabbits and rats. <br><br>Already, the thrill of hunting pulsed within her blood, and she always found the chase exhilarating. Each hunt was different yet the same in an odd way. The smell of the fear permeating the air. Tremble of nervousness. Pounding of her prey's hearts and hers joined as one. But, she was not a tormentor. Her meals were always given a quick death before she tore into their flesh. The sound of another approaching caused her to shift her dark brown eyes in their direction. Upon seeing Dak, her hackles rose a little while she kept her eyes pinned to him warily. She inched backward towards the edge while spreading out her wings a bit, feeling the air drift across sensitive flesh. His desire to join garnered no overt reaction from her other than a tilt of her head to the side. <em>I don't care as long a you stay away from my target.</em> Whatever wariness disappeared since she wanted it to be absolutely clear that her belongings were off limits. Hoping Ky planned to follow, she turned to face the steep ledge then jumped off the ledge and completely extended her wings to catch the air. Unlike some, she conserved her energy with mostly gliding rather than flapping about like a bird.&nbsp;

For anyone else she probably wouldn't have bothered, after all she'd already made room for Safiya, normally anyone else could have just shoved off, but Dak was different.

The Opaline could be a bit prickly at times, but Ky liked her all the same. Looking to Dak as Safiya took off from the ledge, she gave him a slight shrug of her shoulder before spreading and shaking out her wings.

Instead, he covered that feeling very well, and simply nodded, <em>Of course. I wouldn't dream of coming between a dragon and her prey,</em> He didn't snort again, but the double meaning was intent. He wouldn't stand for her getting in his way when he homed in on his own breakfast. He watched the dragon leap cleanly off the ledge, catching some updrafts to make sure that she didn't crash down, but also getting her moving forward at an incredible rate. His attention then was drawn inexorably to the other golden dragon that shared the ledge. Affinity wasn't the right word to describe what he felt around her, but he did feel marginally more comfortable around her than the others. Except for Reo, most of the time was afraid that he might end up hurting the others. It was different around her. She was good sport, and was always assured of giving him a run for his money. <br><br>He grinned back, as well as a dragon could, feeling the adrenaline still pumping through his veins suddenly spike at the challenge. <em>I'll give the two of you a headstart,</em> He chuckled, lifting himself up off of the rock, and flapping his wings for a few seconds, just to give them the promised headstart. Finally, his wings beat an angle into the wind, and he pushed forward. To garner speed, he dipped himself into a dive, his wings curling up to his body to allow for a more streamlined flight path, and, once he had gained enough speed, he reckoned, anyway, he quickly twisted his dive into a low flight, his wings hammering him forward with each stroke. If any human had been around, they would have thought that they were in the presence of a living hurricane. He was faster than the other two, marginally although it might be, and he slowly began to close the distance. It might be enough, and it might not. That was the fun of it. <br><br>He dipped his head with each beat of the wings, adding to the inertia that he was building, his wings burning with his demand on them thrilling him to push them even harder. And he did. He was knifing through the air was seeming ease, his long, streamlined body arching to allow him to slip through teh currents coming in contrary to himself, while still taking advantage of the ones pushing him forward. He was a skilled flier, after all, but then again, most, if not all, dragons were.

Such matters would have to be solved during the actual hunt since there was little could be done now. If he did wish to battle it out for one, she would not back away nor cower even if it was a fool's mission to defeat him by physical means since she was much smaller than him. Luckily, the young Opalline had learned wits and quick intelligence could almost always trounced its opponents. The words echoed in her mind before she could even hear the sound of what could only be Ky behind her. A gruff noise escaped her lips, which would normally sound like laughter since Saffy knew she had a heard start on the others. <br><br>All she needed to do was concentrate rather than worry about everyone else's position, but that was difficult since she liked to be aware of her surroundings and who was in them. As she flew, the trait of her species came to form as the light seemed to catch on her scales then reflect into other directions. Since she started out at such a leisurely pace, she began to flap her wings up and down a touch faster before allowing herself to ease into a glide. This cycle was repeated over and over to focus air pressure underneath her wings. The race fell to the back of her mind when she spotted the herd Ky must have spotted earlier just beyond the glade with her sharp vision. <em>Found them.</em> Her soft voice filled the minds of both dragons. Safiya's stomach rumbled hungrily before her large tongue slipped out her mouth to lick her chops. Flying lazily, she began to access which one she wanted to focus on for a swift and quick death. At that moment, she began to receive beautiful images of a place Ky apparently wanted to drift off to after their meal. <br><br><em>Maybe,</em> she responded to the female golden since her mind was too preoccupied with thoughts of eating right now rather than cleaning herself up afterward. <em>Who won our race?</em> This time, the message was for both of her hunting companions, but Saf sounded a bit distracted than earlier. At the back of her mind though, Saf was worried one of her brothers, who were larger than her, would appear from out of nowhere in the skies to steal her catch. It would not be the first time. Her dark brown eyes found the one she wanted, which was about medium sized, more than enough to push away the gnawing hunger bother her. Holding her wings upward, she slowed herself down before circling far enough away from the herd to not alert them to the menace in the skies. Without warning, her head tilted downward then the rest of her body followed as she honed in on what smelled like a female. She did not roar or even make a sound. Yet, like most prey, they noticed her presence and began to run for the forest. The clock began to tick since it was always noticeable harder to dive and pluck one's prey from the ground when the treetops sheltered them. Not paying attention to the other prey running away from her, she pressed herself to gain speed before shifting her body so that it was her hindlegs which wrapped around her target in a vise-like grip. Only then, did she roar with triumph before pulling upward and leaning her head down to snap the creature's neck. <br><br><em>Where to eat this...</em> This time it was more thinking to herself but she shared this thought with Dak and Ky anyways since she did not mind their input.

He kept his ears open for anyone approaching, as he was feeling a little devilish today. The lean, slender Amethyst was almost completely black in the shadows, which was why he was such an excellent stalker and hunter. Heavily padded feet made not a sound against the stone he walked upon, and he couldn't help but give a little smile to that fact. He had worked so hard to get to that point, and the pay off was wonderful.<br><br>Leth was rounding a corner, when a sound reached his ears, and he took a step back, crouching down to give himself the best chance against whoever it was approaching.

Smooth strokes of her wings carried her away from the valley and toward the lake she'd shown her hunting partners. She hoped they would follow but wouldn't try and force them too.

The strong winds that he carried the dragons that much faster toward their prey had also alerted the same of their presence, not that it would do them much good. They began panicking and running, making for a marginally more interesting hunt. He felt, rather than saw, Reo heading out with Amber, another dragon, and he recalled the putrid scent of fish on the dragon. Reo had always been an odd one, preferring the cold-blooded creatures in the water than the warm ones on land. Dak had laughed when he had learned of it. Let the Silver play fisher-dragon, he thought, and leave the real hunting to those that were better at it.<br><br>Speaking of hunting, he angled himself downwards into a dive, waiting for the two females to take their pick from the large herd before swooping himself only a half-second later. He homed in on one that was particularly fat, and was falling back in the herd. One paw flashed out, careful not to use the claws, and gripped the neck of the panicking creature. When he gripped it, his powerful arm snapped up, the whip-like motion snapping the creature's neck, so as to avoid spilling the succulent blood that made the meat so much more tasty.<br><br>But he decided that he was too hungry for just one. He arced his flight path over to another one, performing virtually the same maneuver, this time with his jaws. He couldn't avoid having his razor-sharp teeth draw some blood this time, but he relished the taste of it on his tongue as he flew back up. He caught the image of the lake that Ky wanted to eat near, and he couldn't agree more. A scenic view was just what he needed to make this meal complete. He lifted himself, and his 'catch', and angled for the place that she had indicated. She always seemed to know him best, even if she hadn't picked the place for his benefit,<em>Good choice, Ky</em>, He nodded.

Truth be known, she was not overly found of the location. It was far too much in the open for her tastes, but it was conveniently located near the water to wash off the remnants of her meal. Already, even though she had not torn flesh from bone, she could feel the trickle of blood sliding down her scales. And even though adrenaline was still high, Saf knew it would quickly agitate her with itchiness if it was not cleaned off properly. Her dark brown eyes shifted between Ky and Dak, quietly accessing their kills with her own. A hint of annoyance flashed over her face when the male golden decided to catch two rather than one. <br><br>It made absolutely no sense in her eyes since it seemed more reasonable to just a larger one. Perhaps he seeks to showoff for Ky or something, she thought within the privacy of her own mind. There was not much time to even think since another's presence caused her to growl until she noticed it was Valoren, who appeared ready to take advantage of the herd's vulnerability before the chance escaped them. Saf had nothing to say in response to his actions or subtle boasting since she was more focused on filling her stomach. <em>I'll catch up to you later,</em> she whispered into Ky's mind before scanning the lands around her for a suitable but safe position to eat in peace. If she could not finish this meal in one setting, Saf planned to hide it to the best of her abilities from other scavengers. She turned away from the two goldens then flew slowly in the direction of the ledges. Yet, when she made it, she was far too tired to drag the kill up into the entrance of the caves. Instead, she landed on the ground with her kill close before dropping it to the ground. <br><br>There did not appear to be anyone around so she gave in to her inner instinct to make something out of nothing. Opening her open, she allowed a&nbsp; burst of burning light to come from her mouth. It slammed into the rock and carved away a small place for the young Opalline to eat undisturbed with her back being guarded by the stone. Her stomach was grumbling for nourishment so she did another blast into the stone before pulling it within. A soft grunt escaped her mouth before she finally indulged in her first true meal in a few days.&nbsp;

She didn't mind him joining the hunt, but dropping down between them could have been a problem if anyone else had already been in a dive and unable to veer off. Still, no one was actually hurt and the look disappeared almost as quickly as it had appeared when her stomach gave a loud rumble. She shot Valoren an image of the lake she was headed toward to eat and simply kept on her course.<br><br>She didn't want her buck getting cold.<br><br>Hearing Dak say he liked her idea of the lake, she shot him a mental smile that was warm, and slightly taunting at the same time. Almost as if she were daring him to follow for reasons known only to herself.<br><br><em> I'll catch up to you later</em><br><br>Ky let her friend feel her disappointment that she wouldn't be joining them, but her understanding as well. Safiya wasn't always the most social of creatures. <em>Enjoy your meal darling,</em> she told the Opaline just before her form disappeared from view of the valley.<br><br>Banking slightly west she began to spiral down toward the lake. Tucked away as it was, no one, who didn't have wings, was likely to find it and the mountains surrounding it protected it from the harsh winds that whistled around the higher altitudes. With the sun above, it was the perfect place, in Ky's mind, to relax after a meal. The buck she'd caught was large enough that she wouldn't need to hunt again for a few days at least.<br><br>Settling into the warm sand surrounding the lake, she stretched the buck out before her, slashed it's throat, and began to simply suck the, still hot, blood, from the body. As she began her meal, a low rumbling filled her entire body. If she'd been much smaller, it might have sounded like a purr, but at her size it sounded slightly threatening, though still pleased.

The long dragon was back on all fours in an instant, only to find himself pounced upon in return. He blinked incredulously up at Crystal, and made a face at her. ::Once I get up, your tail is gonna be mine!:: he mock-hissed at her, letting her know that he was in good humor about the situation. Crystal was one dragon he could never tire of wrestling with. She had the energy to match him, and gave him a fair run for his money, even if he was leaner than she was. <br><br>The moment she bounded off of him, he had to untangle his wings from his hind legs, and then the chase was on. He followed her, hot on her tail, but not quite able to close the distance just yet. He snapped playfully at the tip of her tail, but there was never any real danger of him actually biting it, she was just a little too far away.

He didn't blame him, Valoren, as he had had his eye on that same buck, but it wasn't large like the one that he had caught, if bigger. It was more muscular, more powerful, no match for a dragon, obviously. It was a good leader of the herd, and now with him dead, a new leader would be selected, a weaker, less experienced one. One that would, more than likely, thin out a the herd for a bit, and thus causing less food to be available for the land-feeding dragons. But, he didn't judge the other dragon, merely lifting off in flight after Ky. He liked being around her, for some reason. Maybe it was the healthy competition, the fact that, since she was the one of the few gold dragons in the group, she was one of the few that could actually hold any threat to him in anything. She was about as fast as he was, and just as strong. He knew a few tricks that she didn't passed on by his father, or self-learned, which gave him an edge, but she was just about the only one that could give him a run for his money, not to mention that she loved the competition, like he did, and even more importantly, loved to win. Not like Reo. That dragon was lazy most of the time, feeling like it was owed to him, somehow. He was marginally faster then Dak, just as Dak was marginally faster than Reo, which made for everything that they did against each other, planned or otherwise, always ended in victory by a hair's-breadth, and pretty evenly matched.<br><br>He alighted near Ky, placing his kills on the ground delicately. He liked the blood in his kills, in the muscles more particularly, so that it was more tender, more tasty, and more succulent. He worked through the first one, the fatter one, with a vengeance. He was hungry, after all. He barely noticed the mess that he was making on himself until he was finished. He was satisfied, not fully of course, so he licked his chop, cleaning his mouth a bit, before moving to the next one. This one he took with more leisure, enjoying the soft taste of meat on his tongue, working through it methodically, chewing, and biting, avoiding the bones, except to gnaw on them a bit. He moved over to the lake, and cleaned himself off more thoroughly, taking a long, cool drink. <br><br>His eyes, slitted like a cat's, traveled over to Ky, and suddenly, his eyes closed. Pain coursed through him, and he let out a low roar, warped by the change back to his humanoid form. He opened his eyes again, on his hand and knees on the gravel beside the lake, stark naked. He didn't care about it, and pushed himself to his feet. He walked into the water, and turned to her," Wanna swim a bit with me?" He said, inviting her over in the form of her choice.

Despite the great gulps she took in eating her meal, she was, oddly, delicate about it as well. She skinned the beast with her claws (she hated getting fur in her teeth!) and tossed the skin far off to the side away from the water. When she was done with the muscle and innards as well, they too got thrown off to the side. She could have incinerated the remains, made a neat pile of ash to be blown away on the wind, but she preferred to leave her carcasses for scavengers to feed off of. There was certainly enough left of the large buck for the smaller animals to get their own share of it and be satisfied as well.<br><br>Turning to the lake itself let a draconic grin curve her lips as Dak changed. She didn't bother hiding the admiration in her eyes as she looked him over. Even in his humanoid form she found him oddly pleasing. The only thing she didn't understand was why his changing seemed to hurt him. They were all different of course, but she found it odd that something that came so naturally to some, hurt others.<br><br>Her own change was brief and easy. One moment she was a large golden dragon, the next a lovely young woman with golden curls shimmering in the sun and falling in a soft cascade down her back stood before him. Like Dak she was naked, but it wasn't something she really noticed. After all, she was always naked, in either of her forms. Clothing was unnecessary in their own land.<br><br>"A swim sounds lovely," she said and then laughed softly at the sound of her own voice. It always surprised her to hear it the first time she spoke after a change.

He wondered, not for the first time, and certainly not for the last, why the changing from one form to the other was so painful for him, and yet so painless and easy for her and the others. He scowled, more than a bit jealous. The feeling was suppressed, as it was a bit more difficult to make it go away completely, and found his eyes wandering over her naked, human body as she ran and jumped into the water. He snapped out of the trance when she knifed into the lake easily. Nakedness wasn't something that dragons were typically ashamed of, as there really wasn't anything to hide or fear, but he still found the sight of her smooth, naked, curvaceous body very distracting indeed. An odd thing, really, because he didn't feel the same for most of the rest of the females. But, as he snapped out of it, seeing the playful gleam in her eyes, he couldn't resist the wicked invitation, and he quickly jumped in after her. <br><br>He dove in deep, making his body as streamlined as possible as he cut through the water easily, going down quite a ways before arcing his body upwards, his hand cupping the waters as his legs kicked and he pushed himself quickly to the surface. He came up, taking a sudden deep breath, and sputtering at the icy chill of the water. He spat some water from his mouth, and looked around, locating Ky. He quickly placed himself into a horizontal position in the water, one hands paddling his body forward and then the other, his feet kicking powerfully, propelling him with a graceful speed over to where she was. He laughed, knowing that she was going to put up quite the challenge for him to catch her. He would though. Eventually.

She was able to have a small view while partaking in her meal. Smaller animals, sensing the danger had gone, came from their hiding places to go about their regular routine of collecting nuts and other types of food littered on the ground from the surrounding trees. Safiya did not seem the least bit interested in their activities since she was too busy pulling meat from bone. Soon though, her stomach rumbled with warning of her becoming full. About a fourth of her kill remained. <br><br>She exhaled contently with a wriggle of her nose to ease away an itch. Safiya was not wasteful yet she knew to eat more than able would cause her to just throw all of her stomach's contents into the grass. It had happened in the past. The scent of blood covered her but it was not entirely unpleasant...yet. Sitting on her back legs, she took in the mess covering mostly the front scales of her body since she was not a neat eater. Spitting the bone from her mouth, she placed the remaining portion of the carcass within her mouth.<br><br><em>Where to put you?</em><br><br>She stepped out into the sun with a small shake of her head then proceeded to drag the kill with small but determined steps towards some thick bushes. At the back of her mind, she knew her efforts were useless since her brethren's senses were as keen as her own. Eve though some dragons preferred to hunt for themselves, there were a few who were not above stealing. With some arranging of branches and leaves, Safiya did her best to cover up the bloodied kill although the faint scent of it clung to the air. She glanced upward to see a few dragons flying back and forth from their various comings and goings. None of them seemed intent on coming to invesigate her. Her mind went to Amber randomly before she wondered if the dragoness had eatten. Better to give it to her than have another devour it. Opening her mind to lightly feel around her, she could not detect the female near her.<br><br>There were a few others close to her location but she was not tempted to find them. Instead, she shifted her wings until she gained enough pressure to lift her body off the ground and into the air. It took a little longer than normal for her to reach the ledges since she felt heavier. Her landing caused a few small rocks to skirt over the edge but she paid it no mind. With a show of laziness, she flopped down on one of the higher ones, which allowed her to see the land below. Her tail hung over the edge, and she pulled her wings close to her body. Sleep almost came until she heard the annoying sound of humming.

For the past few weeks, Vael had hit a streak of rock which shimmered like the silver dragons themselves (Iron ore). He had run into the strange colored rock before but it was more abundant then before (Iron Vein). His next breakthrough came when he roasted the ore accidentally to help him claw through the ground only to find that the material became brittle and sharp after it cooled down. For that reason alone the Gold Dragon had stopped leaving the cave to eat and hunt while he focused on his new finds. When his supply of food ran short he had to exit but only to replenish his energy and maybe haul in a fresh kill to last him another few days working on this "Hardrock". <br><br>In the many years he had dug into the ground he had not run into many ores that did anything when fire was introduced, some where just rocks and plenty others had been a black "soft" rock (Coal) that could burn very fast (a lesson learned decades earlier). <br><br>With his stomach gnawing at him, Vael huffed in annoyance as he worked himself through the various tunnels deeper into the lair until he slipped into the underground source of water. The water tunnels had taken him over one hundred years but like the underground tunnels he loved, he was able to move around in those tunnels as easily as the ones not filled with water. The particular tunnel he was swimming through led to the lake near the nest's edge, little did his siblings know that the lake they swam and drank from was the very back door to maze only he could navigate properly to his lair. He felt the presence of his siblings in the water but did not back out, his lungs ached for air and it was not like they would go exploring on their own, others knew to be wary of Vael's tunnels. <br><br>He was not sure what his siblings were up too but he shot out of the water and pumped his wings, disturbing the tranquil waters while splashing his human form fellow golds. <em>Sorry about that! </em> He apologized as his body tried to transition from the slither like swimming to the clumsy flying he was known for. The lift came a few moments later when his body adjusted to the ability to fly and when he was ready he made his way towards the coast where his pools had to be overflowing with the hard shells!

				<strong>Name:</strong> Theloria Arget<br><strong>Current Form:</strong> Silver Dragon<br><strong>Tagging</strong> Crystal, Leth, Valoren, Vael, and anyone else at the beach<br><strong>Location:</strong> The beach near the nest<br><hr><br><br>Theloria had been down at the beach for sometime now, shifting between her human form and her dragon one. Though now she was content to sit there in her silver scales and work her newest project through the sand to help polish it to a brightness that would please her. Head bobbed from side to side as she hummed while she worked calmly in the warming sun. True her kind did enjoy the cold, but after eating a meal she found herself more at ease if she warmed some to allow it to digest. So the sand had offered her the perfect place to rest, and it also let her work on her projects. After all after finding a new spot to carve out the silver she used she had an abundance of the metal. So she had began to make a few new items that she had came up with, and was waiting for the others to crop up so she could hand them out to those she deemed fit to receive them.<br><br>So upon hearing the flapping of wings above her she looked skywards to see who all it was, and smiling she got to her feet and stretched out as she waited for the others to land. It was a warm day, and she wasn't surprised to see others coming to the ocean for hunting and to play as well. Giving her wings a flap to loosen the now stiff muscles she let out a soft cry to let the others know where she was as she looked them over with a golden eye. Nodding her head as she took in the group she'd wait for them all to land before she bounded up to them. Though in all honestly her main attraction was to Leth as she began to dance around like an over-excited kitten.<br><br><em>Leth! Leth! I have something new for you!! You should come see!! And you too Crystal!</em> So with that she turned around and bounced back to where her impression laid in the sand, and before it a large bowl she had dug out that was filled with wet sand. They both would know just how well she worked her metals as they both had received many gifts from the silver in the past since she adored them both. Perhaps Leth a bit more, but the Opalline had always offered her a female dragon when her brothers got to be too much for her.<br>

She had flown and flown, drawn across the ocean by the temperature of the wind. As it grew colder and colder, she eventually came across Nykia. The snow, the cold, the ice was divine. It wasn't long before she found the perfect ice cavern (http://images.wordlesstech.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Blue-Crystal-ice-Cave.jpg) for her own nest. <br><br>She had reveled in her freedom, but soon enough, though she would never admit it aloud, she became lonely. She had stayed away from any of the Cities, finding humans to be more like vermin. Perhaps, when she grew strong enough, eradication would be in order. But for the moment they were safe from her wrath. <br><br>One day, wheeling through the sunny cold skies, she found herself turned back in the direction of the original Nest. With a low rumble of annoyance to herself she finally simply gave in... and headed home.<br><br>She would not be stealthy upon her return. The sun would glint sharply off her silver scales as she careened through the sky, her challenging bellow echoing over the area, bouncing off the cliffs, meeting the ears of all her clutch mates harshly. Wheeling around in broad circles, sharp silver eyes would gather all that were on the beach below, as well as some still perched upon the ledges. With another piercing roar she would slam onto an empty ledge, shaking rocks and boulders from her perch to rumble faster and faster down the cliff side and slam into the beach below, her neck arching to lift her mighty head high, wings opened wide, glaring about at all those gathered that she could see. <br><br>Anishal had come home, and she'd made sure all were aware.

He trumpeted his triumph in tagging the younger dragoness, and tucked a wing to change directions in air. <em>Gotcha! now you gotta get me!!</em> he flicked his tail as he arched into a dive, heading towards the earth.<br><br>He heard Theloria in his mind, and chuckled mentally. She always gave him the best silver jewelry, and so she had a place in his heart for it. <em>Hahah! In a moment, Theloria!</em> he called out to her. <em>I have a chase to finish, then we will be down there... You could always join us, you know.</em> he offered. A sudden loud, announcing roar made him turn his head slightly, catching a flash of silver before he saw a blur of green under him. He roared a warning before calling out to Valoren. <em>Watch out Valor!</em> he said, forcing his body into a spiral, hoping to spin past the Emerald instead of hit him with his wings in passing.

She knew he'd catch her eventually, he always did, but that didn't detract from the fun for her. There was always the chance that <em>this time</em> she might evade capture! Of course for that to happen she'd have to actually want to evade being caught and there was just as much fun to be had in the being caught as in the chase! Waiting for him to draw near she splashed at him and dove deep under the icy water. Seeking the depths where the light was dim she turned at an angle away from where he had been and streaked away, her human form shimmering like a whispered promise in the dark depths until her need for air forced her to the surface once more.<br><br>Breeching the lakes surface again she took great gulps of air into her lungs and gave a bright laugh when Vael suddenly burst forth as well! She'd been so focused on her game with Dak that she'd barely noticed the other Gold's presence until he was upon them! If he'd been a predator able to take them on she might have chastised herself for not paying better attention, but as it was he was a Nest Mate and another Gold, she couldn't remain irritated with him or herself and, instead, laughed at both.<br><br>She didn't even mind the hail of water that splashed over her as Vael chose to take to the air in his awkward flying gate. Instead she called to him playfully, <em>Don't apologize!

If the chance to dump water on him presented itself then she might take it, but she wouldn't lie in wait for him. Still it was fun to joke when she was in a good mood, and with a full belly, plenty of sunshine, and Dak to play with, the young Gold was joyful indeed. The only one who would have actually had any cause to worry would have been her brother Leth. Why he irritated her she wasn't sure, but he was a constant source of irritation..though she would have let anyone else pull nearly the sort of pranks on him that <em>she</em> did!<br><br>Turning her attention back to Dak, she laughed once more and took off at a hard pace, though he'd had plenty of time to close the gap significantly if he hadn't let Vael distract him as she had!

With a final dip of his head he flew off to the cliffs and spotted the disturbances the arrival of another dragon caused, one of the older ones of the clutch. The rocks she sent rolling down the cliffs narrowly avoided his tide pools but when he landed near them he made sure to send a nice rock her way to pelt her! <br><br>The pools were mostly natural but Vael had learned to dig them deeper and learned they attracted other predators to eat the small fish which made a poor meal for him. The predators he dubbed the "hard shells" were large multi-legged creatures with powerful claws. Like dragons, they had a tough hide but his jaws could crack the hard shell and produce a soft white meat he favored over anything else he had eaten in the past. The hardshells ate his fish and in return he would eat some of the largest ones, to Vael that was life even if once in a while the armored creatures would put up a fight.

He narrowed his eyes a bit, not wanting to try and catch Ky while she was distracted, and irritated at this interruption of they play. He tried to be tolerant, not having the willpower to pretend to exchange pleasantries with the other dragon, and Keal seemed to feel the same way. Other than Veal's apology, which Dak frankly thought was unnecessary, they politely ignored each other until the one still in flight took his leave again. Dak rolled his eyes, and, once Ky was back in the game, he snapped back from the distraction, and quickly placed himself in a horizontal position. He frankly believed that Ky would have the dragon begging for mercy when she so pleased. She was <em>almost</em> as goo as he was in just about everything, and he was more than happy to help her out, should the need arise. He had never enjoyed the company of the other male gold.<br><br>He arced through the water again, allowing himself to dip down beneath the surface before Ky could look around to reassess where he was. He sliced his hands in front of him, and pushed forward, closer and closer to him. This, again, was no fun, but he did enjoy the thought that he might actually startle her a bit. He doubted it, at least her showing her surprise on the outside, as he kicked back up to get some air. she had already begun to move, so he smash up to breath, letting out a roar. While much more powerful than anything a human might attempt, it was puny compared to what he was able to do when he was in his draconic form. The chase began again.

It must have been the dragon blood that kept him warm, insulated him at heights that would probably kill the lesser creatures of this world. His broad back resting against a slanted stone face, he relaxed and listened to the faint song of the wind in his ears. It had taken him several years to find this particular perch so high up on the side of the mountain but he truly felt like he had achieved something great when at last he had found it. <br><br>The sound of air under wing caught his attention and he smirked, certain that one of his clutch mates was about. It did cause a slight stirring within him, a deep seeded instinct to take his true form and to join whoever was in flight, to race through clouds with the scent of rain ever present. He shrugged it away though; content to sit upon his perch, his legs hanging out over empty air, his gaze regarding the distant horizon with curiosity. There was something out there, in that unknown world, that had called to him ever since he had wandered out into the sunlight but he had never found the nerve to go in search of it. Ever had it been clear, at least from his mother, that to wander from the nest was to dance in the company of death, and her wrath. He really wasn’t sure which the worst fate was. A sigh slipped from his lips and he shrugged his shoulders. Perhaps someday…<br><br>

Under the heat of the sun, Saffy found rest with peaceful dreams of shining rocks of various colors until the itch of her scales caused her to open her eyes drowsily. With a yawn, she rose upward then used her nimble tail to scratch the place of annoyance. It was not enough. Stretching out her hands in front of her body, she arched her back with an audible pop before taking a step forward to the edge of the ledge. The stone underneath her feet protested under her weight. <br><br>She was prepared to dive off the cliff to go find some source of water to wash the dried blood from herself until she heard someone higher than her. It was no louder than a soft baby's breathing but she heard it. Interest piqued; she squinted her eyes to peer into the distance. Nothing stood out to her, but she could feel it, the need to investigate. Safiya stayed put on the ledge even though more rocks fell down into the beyond. Extending her wings, she took a shorter dive downward than normal before pushing herself up higher and higher. It took a small amount of time to reach the point, which was unfamiliar to her since she never bothered to climb so high. <br><br>She flew in small circles, climbing higher and higher. It did not take her long to figure out it was Vercingetorix, or more easily called Torix, even though he likely was not aware of the nickname. Her mind quickly evaluated the level of threat he poised toward her. Over the years, she had not witnessed him being cruel or aggressive like how her brothers towards any other dragons. From the looks of it, he was not in draconian form so she could escape easily if he tried to bother her with some type of nonsense. With all indicators in her favor, the decision to see exactly what he was doing was decided in her mind. There was not really anywhere for her to land without crushing him in the process so she stayed a distance away but close enough for him to see her. The wind from the powerful flaps of her wings pressed into the stones. <em>Is this your hiding spot?</em> she questioned bluntly in his mind without her usual wariness. The natural curiousness, which flowed as much through her body as blood, caused her to ask another question of him. A growl of annoyance came from her, but it was not reserved from him. No, she was tasked with the need to fly while trying to itch a spot under her scales. <em>I need a bath,</em> she thought quietly to herself while silently hoping for some rain to relieve her momentarily.

				Name: Vercingetorix<br>Current form : Human<br>Players Nearby : Safiya<br>Location: Southern face of the dragons’ mountain<br><br>His eyes had closed, his thoughts slowly turning inward as he began to weigh the pros and cons of taking that leap, spreading his wings and racing towards whatever it was that seemed to be perpetually calling to him. Having defeated most of the creatures around the base of their mountain in the need for food, he didn’t really believe that there was much out there he would not be able to handle. Still his mother had been quite ominous about some creatures that seemed to possess greater intelligence than the beasts of this world. <br><br>The sound of wind under wing came to him again and his hearing told him that it was drawing closer. At first he was going to ignore it, figuring it was just someone passing by as they wandered about and not someone actively seeking him. It wasn’t like that was the norm. They played their games and he went climbing to escape the crowded interior of the nests. <br><br>The sound came again, moving left to right and then once more, right to left and he knew then that whoever it was either was searching or had already spotted him. A smile crossed his face as he opened his eyes, his perch perfect that it would be difficult, perhaps even impossible to land near him without potentially pulling down the entire rock face in the attempt. That was something that he had discovered first hand a few years back, having been tempted to reach the spot in his draconian form.<br><br>Looking for the source of the sound, he spotted an Opalline dragon as it circled back and forth, drifting this way and that. Only his eyes moved as he followed its circular path, noting that it seemed to be gazing directly at him as if it were still trying to figure out the best way to land near him. He considered reaching out to it with his mind but that decision was rendered needless when the voice came to him. Instantly he knew who was talking to him, the beauty of their innate ability allowing him to hear tone, inflection, melody and accent as clearly as if he had used his ears. He considered the revelation of someone from the nests actually searching for him, his eyes never ceasing in watching her flitting about. Smirking, he replied back to her. <em>Indeed it is. I come here to escape the press of the caverns. What brings you to me Safiya?</em><br>

Her head tilted to the side with pure contemplation flashing within the dark brown of her eyes when he smirked at her.<br><br>His response satisfied the inquisitive side of her mind to a certain extent. But she could not help the thousands of other questions his word inspired in her mind. One of the most prominent being why this place over some of the others? Then again, all of her clutch mates seemed to have a spot to escape as the more pressing desire for privacy occured in their development. Some went underground. Some took refuge within the caves while others took to the deep mysteriousness of water. Safiya was not picky. Her only desire was to have an escape route in case a person or event threatened her safety. Nothing bothered her more than being trapped. <em>I was curious,</em> she answered honestly, <em>I did not know it was you until about halfway up here."</em> Safiya became quiet as her wings flapped up and down a bit harder against a sudden gust of wind. <em>I suppose I always wondered where you drifted off to...</em> Her voice, even though mentally projected, lowered no louder than a whisper. The number of her clutch mates were great in number; yet, there were some faces which appeared more often than others at popular spots near the nest grounds. To her knowledge, Torix was not one of them. <br><br>Her mouth opened to display an impressive row of teeth, forming a smile, before she huffed softly. She turned away from him to take in the view with her tail swishing back and forth leisurely. <em>Is this what you do when you're up here? Watch the world around you.</em>

				Name: Vercingetorix<br>Current form : Human<br>Players Nearby : Safiya<br>Location: Southern face of the dragons’ mountain<br><br>Quietly he watched her, noting the sudden flick of her tail to bat at a spot upon her hide that seemed to be troubling her. With their mental link he could almost feel the irritation that was residing in the place her tail darted for. His brow rose slightly as he had never known the females to avoid their bathing and that seemed to be exactly what she was craving given the emotions that were flickering across her mind. Still he decided that it was none of his business, turning his gaze back to the distance. <br><br>When her voice entered his mind again he had to smirk. So someone had actually noticed that he tended not to stick around the nest all that much. That kind of surprised him as the majority of the brood always seemed to follow each other about, constantly mingling. Turning his gaze back to her, he regarded her for a long moment, suddenly curious as to why she would choose to seek him out, especially once she had realized during her approach that it was indeed him. She didn’t seem to direct a question his way for the moment and so he kept his silence.<br><br>Noticing her glancing in the direction that his gaze had lingered to, her question following shortly after, he merely shrugged, not bothering to shift his gaze back to her. <em>There is something out there, in the distance that seems to call to me. Have you ever felt like we are not meant to stay in this one place? There seems to be a vastness to this place and yet we are held here…<br></em><br>The telepathic scream flickered into his mind, his gaze moving instinctively in the direction of its source. He could feel who it was and shook his head. <em>Why do they always feel the need to play such rough games? Especially with one so small. I will never understand the fascination.</em> Shaking his head once more when the scream stopped, he turned his gaze back to Safiya. <br><br><em>Do you never feel called to venture forth? To explore and seek new challenges? Or are you content to exist here in this cave system forever?</em> His tone was level, little emotion allowed to transfer along their mental link as he studied her. They had never really conversed, well more than casual greetings or comments on food. Now he was curious, interested to see what might drive a fellow dragon beyond nourishment. <br>

There did seem to be much unexplored land in the distance. Places far from the protection of her kind since she did not often hear of anyone straying too far from the nest. She strained her eyes as if trying to see further than her sight would allow her. Sure, she did not often like being around some of their kind but it was better the devil you knew than an entire different monster. The elders occasional whispered of those who dwell within shadow and stone. She did, occasionally, have the desire to push herself further and farther away from the nest but fear of the unknown paralyzed her. Instead of answering, she poised another question, curious to learn of the inter-workings of his mind and the inner beckoning to explore. <em>What do you hope to find?</em><br><br>She was about to speak further when a sound, unlike any other she'd heard in her life, burst like flames into her mind. Her entire body stiffened in the air, pausing with her wings extended at full length. Since the cry was confined within her mind, she had no idea where exactly it had come from. <em>Did you hear--?</em> Her question was interrupted by Torix's explanation although it did not sit well with her. That did not sound like mere roughhousing or even bullying. Her wings began to ache from the constant flapping to stay within the air. Unease prickled at the back of her neck before she reached out to find who exactly had been injured. All she found was nothingness. <em>Maybe they moved further than I could reach,</em> she thought quietly to herself. A part of her wished to investigate while the other demanded self-preservation, a skill enforced by her mother. In the end, the latter preserved. <br><br>Still, she could not stop pinpricks of anxiety from pressing at the back of her mind. His direction questions gave her a lifeline of sorts to hold on to in the midst of confusion. When she spoke, there was a quiver in her voice, but it soon faded. <em>I do not think my desire for change is as strong as yours.</em> Her tongue slipped out her mouth to wet her nose. <em>There are times when I feel..</em> Carefully, she tried to conjure a word to describe her previous emotions on the subject. <em>Discontent...or maybe not satisfied with my surroundings. The caves are too deep below ground for my tastes. There are times when I crave light but not one from the sun. </em> It was hard to believe with all the beauty around them. Rich soil. Bountiful beasts to hunt. Yet, she felt as if something about it all was completely wrong. <em>I cannot say what exactly I want since this is all I know of. As far as challenges, I could see myself enjoying a different source of entertainment other than hunting and...lazing around.</em>The wretched itch returned again, and she growled in response before returning to glide through the air in small circles. <br><br><em>I know you have retreated to your spot for moments of contemplation, but I am seriously in need of a bath to clean this dry blood from my scales.</em> Safiya pondered the issue. Her eyes were like an open book for the world to see a myriad of emotions and thoughts. <em>Would you like to join me? I do not wish to chose between itching to death or talking more on this exploring issue.</em> Yes, she did require a dip in the water, but the defeated inquisitive part of herself was not done battling for supremacy. Safiya wished to know what exactly caused a dragon to scream in such pain.

				Name: Vercingetorix<br>Current form : Human<br>Players Nearby : Safiya<br>Location: Southern face of the dragons’ mountain<br><br>He watched her closely as she paused, holding the updraft across the face of the mountain just enough to keep her aloft until she came back to her senses. She seemed to be at odds with herself in the wake of the scream at least that was the general feel of her mind, the connection they were holding just barely maintained on her end as she seemed to ponder something. When she turned her head back to face him, he did his best not to arch a brow quizzically, quiet curious as to what she had thought of the cry though she seemed to be excepting his response for what it was. <br><br>The mercury hue of his eyes seemed to flicker once more as he listened to her, a half smile appearing on weather darkened skin of his face. Certainly it was reassuring to find that he was not the only one that seemed to be craving what was not in the nest. Still there seemed to be a great deal of hesitation about her and he had to wonder what stories her own mother had told her to instill within her such a desire to not venture forth and find that which she was craving for.<br><br>Her direct question did catch him a bit off guard as he had started to lose himself in the ponderings of the other dragons, thinking of each one and what might be a driving force within them should they have one. Certainly it was reasonable to believe that they wouldn’t all have one or didn’t yet as he was unsure how often they took time to reflect upon themselves and their instinctive natures. Slowly turning his gaze back to her, he pondered the question a moment before shaking his head. <em>No. I have already bathed this day and I prefer the brush of rain clouds to that of the bodies of water. I am sure you will find company there as well.<br></em>

Letting out a cry she shifted her weight, and then took off into the air to chase after the others. Powerful wing strokes soon had her on the tail of the others before she saw Leth and Val collide. She blinked large eyes a time or two as concern washed through her, and dipped into a dive she followed after the boys and Crystal down into the trees that they had destroyed upon impact. Shaking her head at the carnage the dragonness back pedaled her wings to slow her own descent so that she landed softly next to the boys.<br><br>Craning her neck she nudge them both softly in turn as she looked them over for injuries, and soon she huffed as she shook her head. <strong>You certainly are not graceful at all Leth. Are you both alright?</strong> was asked as she sat back upon her haunches. Worry still lined gentle eyes as she shifted to and fro. A collision like the two of them had wasn't uncommon, but it was the first she had seen either of them take. So it didn't help her nerves that Val was clearly the worse for the wear. Yet there was nothing she could honestly do for the either of them. So sitting there she did her best to relax as the warm arm began to help qualm her nerves.<br><br>Then she heard. A scream that had her jumping back onto all fours and flaring out her wings to catch her balance. As it died down she took deep breaths as she lowered her head and tried to hide it next to one of the older dragons as she let out a soft keening sound. <strong>It that honestly what I think it is? Please tell me that I'm wrong,</strong> was begged as she began to try and compose herself once more. Just what it was she had a good idea, but then she had to wonder what had caused such a horrid sound to pass through the mental link that all of the dragons shared with one another.<br><br>Then as she watched Val flare his wings and prepare to take off she nodded, and looking around she repeated his action and took off as well. Hovering over the forest she looked to see who else was going to go see what happened to their brother. Letting out a cry she would turn and follow after her own small group to see exactly what happened, and to hopefully find an answer to this mystery.

				<strong>Name: </strong> Dakeyras 'Dak'<div class="floatleft">(http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q642/JDBane/Untitled0_zps42f480d5.png)</div> <br><strong>Current Form:</strong> Dragon<br><strong>Players Nearby: </strong> Kyriannan 'Ky', Vael<br><strong>Location: </strong>Lake<br><hr>Dak wasn't one to give an easy time, with anything, when he was paired up against someone. No matter how playful this moment was, the two friends from the same nest and clutch swimming and laughing in the water, the cool liquid cooling and almost steaming around their comparatively feverish bodies. Dak was a great swimmer, in both forms, having learned how to use his wings to help propel him through the water is if in the air. He wasn't nearly as fast in the water, however, even if he was speedier than most fishes, and it served as something of a muscle builder, and he loved the feeling of lightness of movement when he moved back to fly through the air. In his human form he easily knifed through the water, cutting his way ever closer to Ky, laughing whenever the consequence of getting a throat full of water was not terribly imminent.<br><br>That was when it started. He knew, from each of his changes, that he had been cursed to be more sensitive to the painful side of being a dragon. He didn't know if it was a mental state, something that came with having to be the best at everything. Or maybe it was an over sensitivity to the state of being a dragon, and thus making living and changing a daily torture for the gold. And thus, when he felt something tingling in his extremities, he knew that whatever was coming was not good. Bile built up in his throat as the tingling, not wholly unpleasant at first, began to feel like hot fire, or acid perhaps. It reminded him of that one time that Acidity had accidentally coated Dak in the acid that he spewed. But this was much, much worse.<br><br>But that was just the beginning. The burn swept over him like wildfire, even as he looked down over his body, and saw that it was not, in fact, dissolving in acid. It was still whole and covered in water, which he couldn't feel anymore. His chest and lower stomach were hit next, and it knocked the breath out of him, causing his body, which was heavier without the air inside his lungs, to sink slowly into the water. He spun and twirled, he lack of breath intensifying the pain, but he couldn't bring himself to move to push back up to the surface. What was happening? Had one of the acid-spewing dragons had another accident with one of his clutchmates? He felt a shudder rush through his body, and the pain was suddenly gone. No, it couldn't be. He couldn't feel where the pain had originated from anywhere. And that meant that the victim was now dead. But how had it happened?<br><br>The painful fire was quickly replaced by a fire of another kind, and Dak's eyes opened underwater, now slitted like a cat's. The pain of the change coursed through him now and, for the first time in his life, he ignored it. He was a dragon again in seconds, and with a powerful push from his legs, and a flap of his wings, he jumped out of the water like a whale, the steam from his searing body causing large bubbles of vapor to erupt from the water in his wake. Another flap of his wings, and he was airborne, heading away at a painfully dangerous rate, fueled by the uncontrollable anger that he felt flowing through his body, to where he had last felt the victim's pain.<em> Someone's gonna pay</em>, he whispered to the mind of Ky, letting his anger and pain flow over a bit to hers. Not enough to break her concentration, as she seemed to be moving in the same direction as he, but enough to let her know why his feelings in the matter were far more personal.

For a moment he really didn’t focus on anything, his eyes mildly glazed over since he was still somewhat caught in his trance state. Blinking a few times, he glanced around, getting his bearings before his gaze wandered in the direction that everyone seemed to have gone towards. Something was certainly happening over there, a sense of stress that was covering the area like a mental fog. There was a tugging within him to go forth and see what was causing such things but then he considered the fact that nearly all of his nest mates had gone off that way. <br><br>Rising to his feet, he ran his fingers over his thumbs for a moment, feeling mildly conflicted at the moment, a sensation that he was not really used to and not really happy to be feeling at the moment. Shaking his head, he took two steps and leapt from his perch. With the air whistling around him, he began to process of transforming into his true form, his wings shooting wide to catch the updraft across the face, stopping his fall and turning it into a circling motion as he rose on the current until he could angle for the entrance to the caves. <br><br>With a quick tuck, he skidded across the smooth stone of the entrance, his sudden arrival seeming to surprise the parents that were within as he was not know for such a sense of rush. Extending his brain, he called out to them. <em>Parents…there is something in the jungle. The young have all gone towards it…</em><br>

For a dragon that used electricity, he felt calmer around the water. Having been away from the world for as long as he had, he had forgotten that there was still some beauty left. He sat up, quietly picking up the small sword that he kept near by, and hopped up. Something had awoken him from his short slumber, and he wanted to find out what.

Blue scales grew all over his body as he grew.

He had learned many things, one of those being the creation of "tools" from the metals he had found after introducing the ores to flame. In his digging he had found (in small amounts) a metal that shined like the scales of his siblings and even some rich colored stones, the kind Amber would squeal over. A lot of the things he had not shared, some of the smaller "riches" were shared and showed to others bu the majority stayed in his hidden cache. Vael would have never considered to dig elsewhere for the ores and colored stones if he hadn't stumbled upon a cave far south on one of his many outings from the nest. It was in that cave he came across a crude looking tool. Upon inspection, he assumed it was used to unearth rock and ground. That same tool was the inspiration for him to attempt to shape the ores he heated, into the shape of the tool even if his claws were more efficient. <br><br>There was only so much he could learn by himself and he doubted any of his siblings knew about the craft. Vael concluded it was time to leave the nest and find who or what had made those tools. His curiosity had never been so strong and Vael had seen others go off to live on their own. He took his most precious of gems and carried him with them except for a select few. <br><br>Vael approached an elder and asked if they could deliver a few things to the few people he had befriended closer then his own clutch siblings.

It was about time since he was 240 years old, that he look for his own dwellings. He didn't mind the solitude at all, but this place had always been home for him. It was a place of comfort, if not quiet. The outside world didn't really appeal to him anyway, but these were the customs of his kin and he would abide by them. It was always something he prided himself on, that he was able to follow the wishes of his parents. <br><br>Today had not been a successful venture, however, and he returned with little to show for his efforts. Sure, he could do as some other dragons did and live among human races, disguised as them, but Tatsuo felt nothing but contempt for them. They weren't his people. Their scent was different. It was all wrong.<br><br>As he walked towards the nest, Tatsuo noticed someone sitting too close to his home. It could be a human, or one of his brothers or sisters in human form. He observed the man, and from the scars, he figured that it was a warrior. Tatsuo couldn't risk transforming into his dragon form now. If it was a normal human, he'd be exposing his kind to them. Slowly, Tatsuo approached, testing how close he could get before being noticed. His steps were light so that a human may not pick up the sound of his footsteps, but a dragon might. His hand was on his sword, ready to take it out if needed.

				Name: Trey<br>Current form: Dragon<br>Location: Outside the nest caves<br>Tagged: Tatsuo, Neave<br><hr><br>Trey started to walk toward the cave when he heard wings flapping in the air. The sound was familiar, another of their kind, but he hid for a moment. Most dragons that saw humans would either flee or attack on sight, and right now he was still in his human state. He saw the Cobalt land with grace, though when she shifted in front of them it spoke of youth who hadn’t seen the world much. Still, as soon as she turned, he couldn’t help but give her a once over. He walked out as she addressed them.<br><br>“A nestling then? That would explain why you have yet to learn to fear humans then. My name is Trey'theron'Neru, but please call me Trey. This is Tatsuo, a sibling of mine. As he said, an elder was slain along the beach. All I was able to see was a giant creature seemingly made of living shadow. It was a crab, but of proportions unlike anything I have ever seen. Another of my siblings was hurt by the creature. Though, before we could deal the death blow, it seemed to bubble and split into thousands of little spider like creatures. It scattered in various directions.”<br><br>He thought for a moment. “You still live in the nest? If so that would be a great help. Someone that knows the caves well would make the search quicker.”<br>

She bursted out in airy laughter as if he had told a grand joke. Because surely it was a joke.&nbsp; He simply could not be seriously considering that she should've been afraid of them because they were in their two-legged forms. Had they no nose? No instinct? No sense? No, she was sure they did and were simply playing some fantastic game with her. Shall she play along or similar be blunt? She decided on the latter given the nature of the situation. "Please excuse my outburst, for it was quite obvious to me upon approach that you were nothing to fear. For one thing, you smell and stand like dragons. For another, you are still standing and are not crushed between our kin's tooth and claw. Though I have heard of dragons who have turned against their own... So perhaps you are to fear. H'm?" She grinned playfully, obviously not serious about her accusations. There was something obviously much more playful than your advantage dragon when it came to Neave. However, though perhaps somewhat naive, she was not dumb. <br><br>Her playful stint over, her face took on a much more serious tone. Though there was still a lightness about it. "Though, that aside, you have your information slightly wrong. I know the voice and feel of the one who screamed, though I did not know him well. He was not a elder but a nestmate, a brother. Unless a second dragon was killed? I most certainly hope not. It saddens my heart to know he has died. Though I expected as much from afar. Hearing it puts it in a different perspective. How is the one that was hurt? The spiders are disturbing. Never liked the creepy crawly things." She gave a obvious shudder. "That simply must be a bad omen.... However! As for showing you around the cave, I can most certainly do that. I have explored most of the pathways, so I know my way around." She grinned and rocked on the tips of her toes as she held her hands behind her back.

Her laughter was casual and lighthearted, like she didn't really believe that humans could be a threat. At first, Tatsuo didn't believe it either, feeling like the humans were weaker species. But after observing them for a while, he learned that their determination oftentimes got them through. Add that to their ignorance of the world around them, it also made them unpredictable, which meant dangerous. But there was something more important do to now, rather than discuss their human neighbors. <br><br>Tatsuo walked forward, <strong>"Well, Neave, we should get going. I have been away from the nests for some time and we need to make sure everyone is safe."</strong> The girl was quite energetic. It seemed like she was unable to stay still for long. He moved past her and towards the nesting grounds. They would probably have to fly up to the entrance from the base of the mountain. It was the best way to keep humans from infiltrating them. The same couldn't be said about other monsters.

"You say that now, but they outnumber our kind by quite a lot, and their fear of the unknown makes them quite dangerous." He turned toward the nest as he watched Tatsuo start to head off. "Thank you. Any help is greatly appreciated." He hunched over, his body starting to enlongate and shift. Bones cracked and grew, his skin turned to scales of a azure hue.<br><br><em>Well then Neave, Tatsuo, shall we?</em> He stretched his wings and gave them a few flaps before taking off for the caves of his birth. Who knew what eould be lurking within them once they arrived.

True. He was right. Had her other friend not just been telling her such before the terribleness? But she liked his attitude towards it better. He was playful with her. But he also knew her and these two did not. Though she also knew that most dragons were much more serious than her. Not that she didn't take things seriously. She just preferred to have a positive outlook when many did not. <br><br>Suddenly a thought occurred to her and she started to speak. But it was too late to do so in two legged form, the males were already morphing. With a shrug, she did the same and cheerily followed them up. <em>"Tell me, if you two think dragons should fear two legs so much, and you are certainly not the only ones I know that do. Why were you standing by our nest as two legs? I knew what you truly were by scent and sense. But what if somebody did not? One would not have time to transform in time."</em> Of course she knew that there weren't many in the nest that might normally attack first. Especially since many of them liked to wander about and play together on two legs. But all were on edge due to the attack, so it was certainly a possibility. Especially with young dragons who often reacted without thought and two dragons one did not normally see around here.

He went up into the air with Trey towards the entrance to the nest. Not long after they slipped inside, Neave caught up to them. She was asking many questions, but she had a lot to learn so it was fine. <strong><em>"It is not a matter of fear, little dragon."</em></strong> He replied through their mental connection. Although he referred to her as 'little', what Tatsuo referred to was her naive disposition and youthful curiosity.<br><br><em><strong>"It is about caution."</strong></em> He added, <strong><em>"We are still a new species in this world. Humans often turn to violence towards things they don't understand. And not just humans, we must be cautious about other species as well. If we had, perhaps we wouldn't be in the situation where one of us was slain by an unknown creature."</em></strong> They continued moving deeper into the cavern as he spoke. <em><strong>"Also, you should not approach the nest in your dragon form often. If someone sees a dragon flying about, they can follow them here, and put the young ones in danger. It is better to risk a brief fight with a sibling, than reveal our nesting grounds to outsiders."</strong></em><br><br>The three followed the twists and turns of the cave formation until they reached a large hollow space. Dragons could be seen flying about as well as the fledgelings crawling on the ground. It was like a large communal area for them. Tatsuo turned his head towards Neave, <em><strong>"It might be best if you go to the nesting grounds and make sure everyone is alright."</strong></em> He told her.<br><br>((I imagine this is what the cavern would look like. If there's any mistake, I will edit.))
