 Shifting SandsOOC:
Okay. I'm using a new charry for this one. I don't really have any type of plot, I'm just getting a feel for her, but I would prefer it if this were only for dragons and Rocs. You may join with your other Rider/human/elf/dwarf or anything else you may have if you wish, however. IC: Shaina coiled against the back of her cave. Coth was deeper inside. Lowering her head, she tasted the air with her tongue. She smelled flesh. Saliva collected in her mouth at the thought of fresh meat. Slithering forward on her pale brown belly, she approached the entrance of her domain. Her ruby eyes caught a desert deer coming toward her. It had to be no more than five yards away. Keeping perfectly still, she waited for her prey to walk forward into the deadly trap. Her patience payed off quickly. The deer came forward boldly, only to be terror stricken as it came face to face with her fangs. It emitted a high pitched squeal as she snapped it up in her jaws. Her venom took care of the rest. Laying the dead deer down, she made her way to the deeper recesses of her cave. Soon she found her black-scaled brother sleeping, which was almost the only thing he did nowadays. She nudged him sharply with her nose. Get up Coth, she snapped, unwilling to show her amusement. If you want to eat go to the entrance. I got a desert deer. she said, more gently this time. Her brother stirred and blearily opened his eyes. Wh-what? he murmured, still half asleep. She scowled. Food. Entrance. Eat. she said again, pushing him toward the tunnel that led to her cave. He refused to move. But what about you? Aren't you hungry? he asked, concern for her evident in his rose colored eyes. She shook her head. No. Go, brother. Eat your fill. I'm going to sun bathe. she said. Shifting her body, she slithered out and into the tunnel herself, soon coming back into her own area. Sunlight streamed in through the entrance. Tongue f-lickering, she moved out into the scorching heat. The sand beneath her belly almost burned her it was so hot. Coiling her body, she prepared to bathe. Her eyes closed with pleasure as the heat of the day caressed her warmth starved scales. She was soon dozing pleasantly when she heard something. Whether it was footsteps on the sand or wingbeats in th air, she could not tell. Nonetheless, she raised her head threateningly, large fangs bared in a snake-like snarl. The tip of her tail twitched. If it was a dragon she would repay the debt they owed her. Unless it was a young one. She had no wish to injure a young one, whether physically or verbally. OOC: Pretty darn well for her first time out.lolol _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal. Wiol ono Rest in peace, ILS. You'll be greatly missed...

Re: Shifting Sands Sahara was gliding slowly above the hot sands of the Hadarac desert. She was flying from the Boers, and she was starting to get hungry. Sahara adjusted her wings so she flew higher up to search for any food. As she gazed at the sandy dunes of the desert, she found little evidence of a decent meal. After about ten more minutes of searching, her wings were starting to get tired. Maybe it's my stomach growling thats scaring away all the animals, Sahara thought as her tummy grumbled once more. Finally she saw a small movement on the sands. It was a hedgehog, Sahara sighed as it seemed to be the only thing that she could eat as of now. She dove out of the sky, her large talons ready to grab her prey. With a fast swooping motion, Sahara caught and killed her prey.
Forgive me, but I need your energy to replenish my own, She said before eating her meal. She ate the hedgehog rather quickly, just as she was about to take off, Sahara heard something odd. It sounded like a snake shifting through the sands, but it was much to loud. As Sahara wondered, trying to find the source of the sound, she came face to face, with a pair of fangs. Sahara froze in fear. It turned out she was right with her guess, it was a snake, but a very, very big one. It's brown scales helped camouflage it in the sands, and her poor sense of smell contributed to her not knowing the creature was here. ooc: Lol tummy. _________________  "Listen to them.

Re: Shifting Sands OOC: Hope you don't mind Gavin coming along.
IC: Gavin was irritated. He had been flyign for days, mainyl because he was excessively bored with Vroengard, as well as the other islands in that area, however he wished that he was there now, because he was in the hottest place he had ever been. He was flying in the sun over a desert, the Hadarac, to be exact. He hated the heat, as well as the bright sun, mainly because he was used to sub zero temeratures, and the cold winds that came off of ocean currents. He had been flying high and fast to get over the desert as fast as possible, until that is, that he saw some sort of snake. He slowed his flight and landed some twelve yards from teh snake and said, Auch, what kind o snake are ye? I've neer seen such a braw snake in all me life! What are ye exactly? asked the giant Roc curiously at the ssnake who was bearing her fangs at him, which he thought was very humorious, because even though she was huge, he was larger. _________________  Role-Playing Characters: Ara The dragon of illusion.

Re: Shifting Sands OOC:
Welcome both of you. And no I don't mind that Gavin has dropped in. It's perfectly fine.  IC: Shaina reared back, mouth open and prepared to strike, when she saw what it was. She hissed savagely. It was a Roc. It was not four feet from her nose, but she drew closer cautiously. Her forked tongue f-licked out and gently touched the shoulder of the Roc. She withdrew as the birds scent came into contact with her. It was a young one. Her facial features softened, and she lowered her upper lip to cover her fangs. Her gentle ruby eyes looked into the much younger ones. They were a cerulean blue, a bright contrast to the darker/lighter shades of brown that covered its large body. What are you doing out here in the desert, young one? she asked, her voice soft. I rarely see your kind out here, if at all. My name is Shaina. And yours, young Roc? At the sound of wingbeats, her head snapped around. What she saw was slightly startling. A male snow white Roc with gold eyes was standing not to far from her. With her laying flat in her belly, she felt dwarfed by the giant bird. Rearing up so she hovered above him at almost her full height, she f-licked her tongue out again. The spicy scent of the Roc hit her like a hammer blow. He was much older than the first one. I am one of the last of my dying race. Myself and my brother are the only two known survivors since the olden days. My people were known as the Giant Cobra's in my time, but the elves have probably invented something to call me and my kin in their own langauge. she hissed, distaste coloring her usually even tone. My name is Shaina. And yours? she asked quizzically, raising her right eyeridge in question. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal. Wiol ono Rest in peace, ILS. You'll be greatly missed...

Re: Shifting Sands ooc: Yo.
Her eyes sealed shut and her body tensed as the snake's forked tongue touched her. She waited for the snake to kill her. But when death didn't come. Sahara opened her eyes, and relaxed a bit. She felt nervous as she snake's red eyes stared into her, they didn't look threatening, but they were still a bit nerve wracking. I... live here. Sahara answered, raising her tone so it almost sounded like a question. The snake's next statement confused her for a bit. My kind...? You mean theres more of me? Sahara asked intrigued. Now that they were introducing themselves, Sahara became much more relaxed and energetic. Hi! I'm Sahara! Your really big. I've seen snakes before, but your the biggest. You said your name was Shaina right? Thats a nice name, Sahara said speaking rather fast. When the sound of wing beats filled the air,Sahara turned around, to see something that was rather shocking. A large, snowy white male, with possibly the weirdest accent she'd ever heard was standing yards away from her. He was big; very big. She really didn't know how to react. She had been so used to being taller than most people, but with this guy she felt like a mouse. Hey... he's big,Sahara whispered, stating the most obvious thing ever, to Shaina. _________________ "Listen to them. Children of the night, what music they make." ~ Dracula Best. songs. ever.

Re: Shifting Sands Gavin looked at the snake and said, Auch, I am tha great laird Gavin, I hail from tha braw mountains in the far North. said the Roc to the snake, then he noticed the small female Roc for the first time. He said, Why hello there, mah wee barin. What are ye doin aweh from ye mither? Tis nae place fer a young Roc out here. said the Roc to the smaller Roc. She was a mere babe complared to him. Then he asked, Why are ye tha last of your race? I would think that such a braw snake as yersel would have nay problems wi the humans an such. asked the Roc to the snake again. He was curious now, very curious about the snakes, as well as the young Roc, as to whether she had parents or not, it would be nice to meet another Roc his age, or better; older.

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina turned her head to Sahara. That is unusual for your race, to want to live in the heat. she murmured. And yes. You are not the last of your kind, as I am. she said as she slithered over to the much smaller Roc. Her forked tongue touched the brown feathered shoulder. She smiled at the outburst from the young one. You are very inquisitive, aren't you, Sahara? she said, a rasping laugh eminating from her jaws. She nodded in agreement with the young Roc's statement about Gavin behind large.
Shaina hissed softly and turned back to the snow white Roc. I was born nearly a millenia ago, the only egg that hatched. Sixty decades later, my parents had a clutch of eight. Nearly all of them were killed by wild animals at birth. My younger brother and two little sisters are the only ones that survived. I have no idea where my sisters may be, but my brother is deeper within my cave. she said, then turned to the entrance of her cave. Come Sahara, Gavin. Let's get out of the heat for now. My scales have had there fill. she murmured, slithering into the cool shade of her home. There's water over there if you want a drink, and dried jerky meat in there. Fresh meat is hard to come by when you live in the desert. Although you probably knew that Sahara. she said, smiling. Turning, she raised her head and hissed loudly, using her own language to call Coth in. Soon her brother slithered in, his black scales wrustling dryly as they scraped against the stone floor. Shaina prodded him with her nose. Say hello to our guests, Coth. This is Sahara,she said, motioning to the light/dark brown Roc. And this is Gavin. she indicated the snow white Roc. Coth nodded his head politely. Hello, my name is Coth. he said, before continueing out to do his own sun bath. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal. Wiol ono Rest in peace, ILS.

Re: Shifting Sands Sahara cocked her head at Shaina's strange statement. She had always lived in the heat, and enjoyed it. She rustled her feathers when Shaina's tongue touched her again, it was starting to tickle her. She didn't know what the word Shaina used meant so Sahara remained quiet. When Gavin spoke to her, it took her about a minute to comprehend what he said. Mother? I never knew my birth parents, and for your information, I was born and raised in this place! So I think I'm more than capable of handling myself! Sahara said defensively. As Shaina and Gavin entered the cave, Sahara remained where she was wondering why they wanted to get out of the sun and into the dark cave.
Not wanting to be left behind, Sahara chased after them. It took her eyes awhile to get used to the lack of lights. As another large snake slithered forth, Sahara cocked her head once more. Shaina, what are you talking about? Your not the last, theres another big snake right here! Sure he's your brother, but at least your not completely alone!She said happily. _________________ "Listen to them. Children of the night, what music they make." ~ Dracula Best. songs. ever.

Re: Shifting Sands Gavin smiled at the smaller Roc and said, Auch, don get yer feathers in a bundle, I was just askin ye. An, how could a Roc be raised in such heat at this? Tis not fit for man nor beaas in such heat as this. I was born in the North, beyond the lands where anyone other than penguins and polar beats live. I have been on my own since hatching, and its made me into tha great laird I am today, I have my own isle, I think the two-legs call it Vroengard. said the Roc proudly as he stooped to walk into the larg cave. He found it to almost be comfortable, but it was still very stuffy.

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina turned to the bubbly Roc, smiling gently. Yes, I am not alone, but my race is still doomed to die out. My brother and I can not procreate. It goes against the nature of things. she said, her ruby eyes sad. As Gavin mentioned where he had settled, her head snapped in his direction, eyes narrowed to slits. If what you say is true, young one, you are settled on the most important island in Alagaësia history. Vroengard is the home of the Riders capitol, Doru Araeba. Take care that you do not disturb the past. That could be disasterous. she murmured. Her gaze f-lickered to the side as a shadow came into the mouth of her cave. Leýa, what are you doing here? I didn't expect you for a few more days. she said in surprise. Her elven friend was panting hard,"We are..under attack. We need..your help." she gasped, pressing a hand against her heaving chest.
Shaina's features hardened into a scowl, and she dipped her head in a sharp nod. I'll come. Go tell your people I will be there shortly. she said, already turning away to prepare. Grabbing a special saddlebag that she had made for herself, she strapped it on using her tail. Without looking, she asked. Do either of you know how to battle? her tone intoning urgency. Rearing up, she grabbed her wooden stave in her jaws from the ledge she had placed it on. Opening her pack, she put her stave inside, then closed it again. Whatever had decided to attack the elves must have been pretty powerful to target Ellesmëre itself, and she needed to be prepared for the worst. She glanced out of the corner of her eye. Sahara was young, and she worried that the young Roc would be injured if she decided to come. She knew that Gavin could handle himself though. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal.

Re: Shifting Sands How can you be so sure? I mean,I didn't know there was another Roc till today! So there must be another big snake, somewhere! Sahara said very optimistically. Sahara backed away from Shaina and Gavin, she didn't know what they were talking about, but the way Shaina spoke, it sounded like she was going to attack him or something. She walked towards the small pool of water and took a couple large sips. When the elf enter the cave, Sahara lifted her head to see what was going on. What happened? Who was attacked? And by what? Sahara asked. She wondered why Shaina started to grab random items; items that seemed more useful to a human than a big snake. Y-yes, Sahara muttered.

Re: Shifting Sands OOC: Heheh. Let's see how you react to Solarae.
 lolIC: The sun's warmth beat down a constant barrage of heat, enough to sear a delicate plant. To Solarae, it felt heavenly. Uck. As lovely as Du Weldenvarden smells, I've been spending way too much time there, she thought, closing her sky-colored eyes at the beautiful heat. Her sparkling orange scales glittered like fire, catching the golden sunrays. As she flew, she caught a few scents on the warm breeze. I haven't smelled roc for a while. And one smells familiar. And there's something else too... no, not one of them? she thought, catching a scent she had not found for decades, perhaps centuries. The giant cobras were assumed by all to be extinct, and the few she had seen in the east were far between. The small dragoness saw the mouth of a tunnel-like cave in the desert ground below, and swooped in for a quick landing above the entrance. She could hear activity inside, and the voices of two rocs and a giant cobra. So there is one! she thought with excitement. A faint whiff of a second cobra and an elf reached her nostrils as well, and she stood in wait of their emergence. _________________  ****Phalynx**Solarae**Rigel**Alna'ir**Sirius**Ecco**Temias**Kalo**** And I'm watching out for your charries, ILS. *****Faefnir***Navarre***Rimfax***** |

Re: Shifting Sands OOC:
Hmm, this ought to be interesting.lol Okay, now that we have enough people, we can have an order. Me, Fang, Leon, and Draco, basically the same as before.lol Although if you guys prefer to have a free for all, just say so. I'd be alright with that too.IC: Shaina nodded at Sahara. Good. Althought if you don't want to come, you can stay here with my brother. she said, her eyes twinkling lightly with concern. She f-licked her tongue, and froze. Moving almost with the speed of lightning, she streaked from her cave. The dragon was a moderately small female with orange colored scales, but to her all she saw was a creature that she could never trust. Not after what happened. She bared her fangs savagely, rearing up so she towered above the female. What are you doing here, dragon? I must go swiftly to help my elven friend, so be quick about it. she snapped, ruby eyes flashing with anger and distrust that she didn't even bother to hide. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal.

Re: Shifting Sands Gavin smiled when Shania started to talk about fighting. He said, Auch, there is naught better than a good brawl every now and then, I cannae believe ye didnae tell me earlier, I can battle with the best of them, and I can lick anyone my size or smaller! screeched the Roc proudly. When the other Roc acted scared he said, Auch, do yo noy ken yer own birthright? We were born for fighting an killin! Tis what we are good at, ye cannae be a Roc an act like a scared rabbit wi a hawk in its tail! said the large bird as he began to make his way toward the entrance of the cave. When he came to the mouth he sae Shania starting into the eyes of a small red dragoness. He said, Solarae! I didnae ken ye were in these parts! Hows an old batler like yersel doin these days?!

Re: Shifting Sands OOC: Oh, I wasn't sure if fang was gonna go.
IC: Solarae grinned as the giant cobra emerged, though her smile shrunk a little at the snake's demands for an explanation. Always so territorial, she thought with amusement, remembering the other giant cobras she had seen, and fought. I was just passin' through, that's all. I like the desert. But if the elves are in trouble, I'd be more than happy to help! I have elf friends, myself, she replied sincerely, Oh, and my name's Solarae, as Gavin just revealed. Speaking of whom, I'm quite well. And dude, do I act old to you? Or look old? I'm still energetic as a yearling! Solarae laughed again, hoping to lighten the tense feelings from the cobra. She didn't blame the snake for being agitated, though, especially with her friend in trouble. _________________ ****Phalynx**Solarae**Rigel**Alna'ir**Sirius**Ecco**Temias**Kalo**** And I'm watching out for your charries, ILS. *****Faefnir***Navarre***Rimfax***** |

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina flicked her tongue. Ah, young Solarae. I've heard your name murmured by the elves. A fire dragoness, correct? I oppologize if I was rude; during the Dragon War, a dragon injured my elven friend, nearly killing her. I have never trusted a dragon since. It has nothing to do with you personally. she said, darting away as she said this. She slithered over the sand with the speed of lightning, moving silently from the centuries of practice. Soon the Elf capitol came within view, and she prepared to shift. Her gigantic snake form would be to unwieldly on the battle field. A great army, perhaps three hundred strong, was marching toward the great forest. She hissed ferociously, and quickly changed into her human form. Her body shrank and her scales disappeared. She grabbed the stave with her now extended arm. Soon feet pounded against the hot earth beneath her.
Clothes covered her muscular body as she raised her stave above her head, releasing a savage war cry. Leaping ten feet into the air, she twisted like an acrobat and landed gracefully in the first knot of soldiers. Jerking the end of her weapon up, she clipped a man on the chin, making him stumble back. Taking advantage of that, she whipped the other end of the stave up and slammed it into his chest, shattering his ribs and killing him. Turning, she smacked into the soft flesh of a neck, collasping the windpipe. Jumping up, she brought the end down on a skull, smashing the bone and instantly killing the man. Three down, two hundred and ninety-seven to go. She smiled. No problem. OOC: Now its Fangs turn. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal. Wiol ono Rest in peace, ILS. You'll be greatly missed...

Re: Shifting Sands Now wait a sec, I wont kill, but I'm more than willing to help! Sahara cried chasing after everyone. She soared high in the air keeping an eye on Shaina, but once she entered the great forest Sahara lost her. For some reason she was unable to fly into the dense wilderness, which annoyed her, but she landed and tried to keep up. Isn't this the forest Yssala told me she was from? Sahara thought. She stopped and looked around, she was lost. There wasn't any sigh of Shaina, and her powerful eyes were only useful in the air. Not to far away from her Sahara noticed an indent in the dirt, almost as a giant snake had slither past. Following the path Sahara finally came across an elven city, but Shaina was no where in sight. Not even her tracks.

Re: Shifting Sands Don't lose yersel in threes, this forest is bigger than you think. said Gavin as he flew past the smaller Roc toward the city. He watched as Shania did the same, heading toward the city. He was not avbout to be out-done by a snake, so he screeched loudly to draw the attention of the attackers and hurled himself toward them. He, however did not land. For, in the trees, he would be unable to take off again and that would leave him at a disadvantage. As he flew past, he snatched up three men in his claws and flew high into the air and dropped them out of the sky, killing them the instant they hit the ground.

Re: Shifting Sands Solarae nodded to Shaina at her explanation. Yeah, I'm a fire dragon. And don't worry about it, she replied. When the giant snake took off toward the city, the dragoness was right behind her. Flying, of course. She raced after the cobra, her claws and tail itching to draw blood, and her jaws yearning to taste it. She hadn't had a good fight against an army (pretty much fodder, to her) in a long time.
When they reached the forested city, she came in from the side like a meteor. Solarae's scales were burning, flames leaping off her in powerful flickering tendrils. Gotta make an entrance, she thought cheerfully. The enemy soldiers looked up at the bright fire-light just before it hit, but it was too late for them to run. Solarae leaped amongst their ranks, slashing exposed flesh and melting armor. Her fire consumed all in her path. Ah. Now this is a refreshing kinda fight, she thought. _________________ ****Phalynx**Solarae**Rigel**Alna'ir**Sirius**Ecco**Temias**Kalo**** And I'm watching out for your charries, ILS. *****Faefnir***Navarre***Rimfax***** |

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina sensed the other three following her, but quickly lost track of Sahara. She lifted her nose and sniffed. The smell of the young Roc was strong in her nostrils. Casting out her mind, she contacted the other two. Protect the city; Sahara has lost her way. she said, again shifting to her cobra form. A soldier caught her side, slicing her scales from just where her shoulder would be, to just below the proximity of her hip. It was not deep, but it still hurt like hell. She shrieked in anger and pain, her ruby eyes flashing. She opened her mouth and bit into the arm of her attacker. She watched with grim satisfaction as her venom took affect, making the man slump to the ground, dead. She slithered silent and fast until she saw the light/dark feathered body of Sahara. Young one! she cried, circling her large body around the Roc. Her blood slowly slid down her side and touched the ground.Follow me, little one. she said, darting away agan to join in the fight. The edges of her torn scales caught on the ground, making her snarl in pain. She launched into the battle with a deadly vengence.

Re: Shifting Sands Gavin continued to circle high above the battle. His keen eyes picking up everything, from the orange fiery dragoness a few hundred meters to the southeast of him, to the brown snake, and small roc to the west of him. He watched all these things happen as the soldiers fell beneath the powerful fire, and other weapons of his allies, then watched as those who by all rights should be dead, stood up and began to fight again, wheras the elves who were fighting, every one of them who fell stayed down. He cursed to himself and screeched angrily and flew at the soldiers to destroy them all.

Re: Shifting Sands Solarae whipped her head around as she felt a blade slashing toward her. Her hindquarters spun out of the way and the man's sword came crashing into the ground. It stuck there, and before he could pull it out, Solarae was at his throat. She turned away, and as she turned, her flames dissipated. She did not want to waste energy, and it was more fun without her fire anyway. (At least for the first hour or so. Then she usually got bored.) She disabled with her tailblade, gripped with claws, and tore with teeth. Her weapons worked in perfect synchronicity to eliminate her enemies, and her blows were calculated yet lightning-quick, from her long life of practice.
As she turned back to survey her work, she frowned as she saw a few soldiers stand back up. The only word that came to mind was spell, and then she was upon them again, finishing her work with a burst of flame. Their protective spells would not save them from being turned into clumps of ashes. _________________ ****Phalynx**Solarae**Rigel**Alna'ir**Sirius**Ecco**Temias**Kalo**** And I'm watching out for your charries, ILS. *****Faefnir***Navarre***Rimfax***** |

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina eyed the deadly work of Solarae with an impressed attitude. The fire dragoness was not one to cross if she ever got angered. But her attention was taken as stabbing pain radiated from her side. She whipped around and sank her deadly fangs into the offender. The man just giggled and continued to rip his sword through her hide. She howled in rage. Red lines crossed her vision as she lashed out. Her tongue wrapped itself around the man's torso. She lifted him up, moved him so he was parallel to the ground, then promptly bit his head off. Almost instantly the man went limp. She uncurled her tongue and threw the corpse away, spitting out the head as she did so. Hearing more cries behind her, she turned to see Leýa in combat with three giggling idiots. A horrendous shriek arched from her muzzle and she whipped her tail forward, reaching out with the tip to cut the three men cleanly in half. Her friend beheaded them shortly after.
Shaina hissed savagely and looked up. Gavin was flying above the battle. Higher above him, a black shape was speeding down to crash him into the ground. Her eyes widened. Gavin! Above you! she cried, unable to help in her earthbound state. She could only watch helplessly as the shape, now shown as a Lethrblaka, came dangerously close to the gigantic snow white Roc. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal.

Re: Shifting Sands Gavin continued to watch the fight until a large beast hurtled out of the sky and hit him in the back with a sickening snap! The giant bird and the monster fell from the sky, the monster tearing at the white plumage of the bird, and the bird imobalized form the suprise, as well as the pain of the hit. He fell to the ground, crushing several soldiers as they watched the two gargantuian creatures fall from the sky. Gavin screeched weakly and attempted to flap his powerful wings, but found he could not. He squawked in pain, but could not feel his wings whatsoever. He turned to see the monster coming toward him at full speed.

Re: Shifting Sands OOC: Okey dokey.
IC: Solarae slashed her way through the ranks of maniacally laughing soldiers, having now recognized the spell that kept them from feeling pain. Luckily, nearly all of her blows were to kill, so there were few to deal with. She simply made sure to get good killing blows on all the men. Not even a lack of pain could enable you to stand up from getting your ribs torn open, or your throat slashed a claw's length deep. Fire was also an effective silencer. As she moved around the battlefield, Solarae suddenly heard a loud crash as Gavin fell to the ground with a lethrblaka. The orange let out a roar and surged forward. She leaped over the immobile roc, her scales flaring to fiery life as she hit the angular beast. She raked her claws down the monster's chest, but the direct hit sent her tumbling to the ground with it. She jumped back to her feet, teeth bared as she faced the many-times-larger enemy. Nothing deterred her, though; she had killed many of its kind, and if Gavin recovered quickly he would be able to kill it himself. _________________ ****Phalynx**Solarae**Rigel**Alna'ir**Sirius**Ecco**Temias**Kalo**** And I'm watching out for your charries, ILS. *****Faefnir***Navarre***Rimfax***** |

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina hissed, her fangs bared. She surged forward to weave menacingly beside Solarae. She reared up to tower above the Lethrblaka, snarling with the ferocity of her race.

Re: Shifting Sands Gavin struggled to move. It was not that he was in pain, it was that he could feel nothing whatsoever that scared him. He kenw that he should be in pain, and pain was at least comforting, at least then you knew what was wrong and you could fix it, with this...you had no clue. You could only hope for the best. Another thing that scared the great white bird was the fact that he could not move his wings at all. He could move his legs, at least some, but not as much as he would like. He said, on the verge of panic, I cannot move my wings! Help! What is wrong with me?!

Re: Shifting Sands Solarae glanced worriedly at Gavin as the huge bird cried out fearfully. She looked up at Shaina. Can you get him away from the battle, Shaina? I'll take care of the lethrblaka, she called. For obvious reasons, she could not move the roc herself, and he needed to be brought to safety. In his current condition, he was vulnerable to attack.
Without waiting for the cobra's reply, Solarae leaped onto the back of the beast, tearing at its shoulders with her claws briefly before jumping away, just in time to avoid the powerful beak. She let out a thick torrent of fire over its back, and it turned, screeching, and flew at her. Solarae darted forward and dove under the lethrblaka's claws as it attacked, rolling upright and springing up behind it. She grabbed its wing in her jaws and whipped her head to the side, tearing out a huge strip of flesh. She jumped to the side and pounced on the other wing, ripping it to shreds before jumping nimbly away again. _________________ ****Phalynx**Solarae**Rigel**Alna'ir**Sirius**Ecco**Temias**Kalo**** And I'm watching out for your charries, ILS. *****Faefnir***Navarre***Rimfax***** |

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina nodded briskly to Solarae, then sprang forward. She wrapped her lower body around Gavin's middle section, careful to avoid his wings, and lifted him effortlessly off the ground and to her side. She slithered away to set the Roc down gently. She called to Leýa, who instantly was beside her. She lowered her head to look at her friend. Look at Gavin and find out what's wrong; Solarae may need my help dispatching that Lethrblaka. Where theres one, theres more. she quoted, quickly spinning around before the female elf could respond. She darted back to the battle between the fire dragoness and the black beast. She opened her jaws and hissed ferociously, baring her formidable fangs. She coiled her body in preperation, then leaped forward. Her ruby eyes flashed as she lashed her tail to cleanly cut off one of its wings.
The severed black wing fell to the ground, fully extended. The creature stumbled, then leaped for her back. Its talons dug fiercely into her scales. She screeched and writhed her gigantic body to coil around the beast. She picked it up and threw it several feet away. She turned to lick her new wounds briefly before twisting around again to face the black Lethrblaka with her face wrinkled in a snarl. She waited patiently. She did not get the chance to attack. A moving blur slammed into her side, knocking her off balance and sending her reeling through the air. She jolted upright, unwilling to let it get the best of her mere seconds into the fight. The beast leaped at her, talons splayed and beak open. She ducked her head and allowed the creature to cling to her back. The black talons shredded into her back, adding to the other various wounds. She felt it shift on her back and howled as its beak plunged into her neck again and again. She writhed and twisted but it refused to release her. Shaina lashed her tail and sent the beast careening away to land on the ground in an explosion of earth. She gasped for breath with crimson blood flowing freely down her sides. The beast sprang at her. This time she caught it in her jaws, bit down savagely, then flung it away. Her fang marks oozed with fresh blood, but the flow steadily eased to a stop as the beast's heart ceased to beat. She sighed and relaxed her muscles. That is the only advantage of having poison stored inside my fangs; I can kill or stun with one bite and not let the creature suffer needlessly. she said to Solarae with a wistful tone in her voice. She looked around her then, and was surprised to see that most of the enemy troops had been killed. Though a few still stood and fought-a few dozen, maybe more-most had been defeated. She lowered her upper body wearily to the ground and slithered slowly forward. Her body ached like it hadn't in several months. I'm getting too old for this, she thought to herself, though she grinned as she did. She sighed, then looked behind her. She beckoned the orange dragoness forward with a slight cock of her head. You fight well, young dragon. Your powers certainly are strong. How long have you been able to train yourself with them? she asked, if only to make conversation. She felt at ease in this dragon's presence, her hostility toward the female much less than it had been earlier at her cave. ------------------------------------ Sahara followed the slender trail of the snake Shaina back to the main battle. Her cerulean blue eyes widened at the sight, though she did not detour. She beat her wings and rose into the air. She yelped involuntarily as a soldier leaped up to snag her wing with his sword. She beat more furiously and rose higher. She snapped her beak angrily and began to dive when a f-licker of motion caught her eye. Shaina, Gavin, and the somewhat small dragon were fighting a savage black creature. Her eyes widened as the gigantic white Roc was struck down by the beast. She watched in fasination as the snake wrapped her lower body about the large bird and carried him to safety, then plunged back into the fight. Seeing that she might have found something she could do, she angled her wings and floated over to the downed Roc. An elf was tending the male's wings, which resembled a few crumpled masses of blood and bone. She landed in front of them and gripped the rocking earth in her talons. Are you alright, Gavin? she asked, concern coloring her tone. She whirled around to do what she had decided was her job; protect Gavin and the elf so she could tend his injuries. She opened her beak and screeched a warning to close by soldiers. Most winced and covered their ears. Two men charged her, swords drawn. She waited until they were almost upon her, then sprang into the air. They stopped confused, then howled in pain as her weight, albait not very much, crashed them down into the ground. Not enough to kill, just a warning. She released the soldiers, who scampered away as fast as their broken bones would allow. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal. Wiol ono Rest in peace, ILS.

Re: Shifting Sands Auch! I cannae feel ma wings! What am I tae do with out tha use o ma wings?! screeched the Roc angrily, not just at the Lethre'blaka for attacking him, but at himself for not paying enough attention and for makign the mistake of forgettign his enemies in the skies. He screeched angrily and said, I tell ye this, I'll not be fooled twice. I am the great laird Gavin an I will get my vengance upon tha cowardly beast's kin. I will not be defeated an not get my revenge! screeched the Roc angrily as he began to try to move, but was unable because of the lack of feeling in his limbs, as well as the elf.

Re: Shifting Sands Solarae noticed the snake coming back. Before she could resume her attack on the lethrblaka, a sudden piercing pain hit her shoulder. She jerked back, limping on three legs as she growled in surprise. Only a few seconds elapsed before she melted the arrow, shaft and point. Her gaze turned toward the soldier who fired it, and she jumped forward, her scales blazing to fiery life. The flames were a blue-tinged yellow; her magic fire, and so burned away the man's wards. Solarae was standing on the other side of his corpse in the blink of an eye, her flames dissipating into the air.
When she turned back to the lethrblaka, the giant cobra was finishing it off. Shaina quickly dispatched the snake, with some injury to herself, and moved up to Solarae. The orange snorted when Shaina referred to her as "young dragon." I'll tell you what I tell everyone who first sees me; I'm not really young, I just am a fourth fanghur. I'm actually about 600 years old, so I've had lots of time to practice my fighting, not to mention almost a whole life of experience in nothing but fights, she explained, her tail lashing a little. The enemy soldiers were much fewer in number, and seemed to be giving up the fight, but the small dragoness still felt the urge to chase after them. _________________ ****Phalynx**Solarae**Rigel**Alna'ir**Sirius**Ecco**Temias**Kalo**** And I'm watching out for your charries, ILS. *****Faefnir***Navarre***Rimfax***** |

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina smiled, and a rasping laugh eminated from her jaws. I did not say you were young, I merely pointed out that your younger than myself. I meant no offense. Fourth fanghur, eh? Indeed. she lowered her upper body to slither forward beside the dragoness, eyeing her with a gentle ruby iris. Most everyone in this land is young to me. Sometimes it wears me down to know I'm the last of the Ancient Giant Cobra's. My sisters are no where to be found, and my brother can not mate with me. I truly am alone. Dragons, although sparse since Galbatorix came here, are flourishing. she sighed, drifting into her thoughts. She shook her head. Pardon me; my mind has wandered. 600 years old? You are indeed experienced in the ways of the world. I hope you do not have to see the things I have through my life. Knowledge can be useful, but somethings are best left unknown. she murmured, f-lickering her tongue out to taste the air. The tang of blood was strong.

Re: Shifting Sands Solarae laughed. No problem. I was just lettin' you know. And yeah, I've had some pretty interesting experiences, especially to the East. How old are you anyway? the orange spoke, then asking the giant cobra about herself. She was curious about her new acquaintance, and wondered what sort of things Shaina had seen. Surely they would be interesting. Why did your kind dwindle so much, if you don't mind me asking? I know we dragons were almost hunted out, but what happened to you guys? she added, her curiosity extending to include the whole of Shaina's species.
Eventually, Solarae looked around with a worried frown. We should go check on Gavin. He didn't look too good. All the enemy soldiers seem to have run away anyway, she said, catching the roc's scent and looking over to where he would be. _________________ ****Phalynx**Solarae**Rigel**Alna'ir**Sirius**Ecco**Temias**Kalo**** And I'm watching out for your charries, ILS. *****Faefnir***Navarre***Rimfax***** |

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina smiled. However old the very land is. I was born more than a millenia ago, when Alagaësia was new to the world. I watched it develop over the centuries, helped it when I as needed, and guarded it from trespassers. she said, her voice becoming soft as she remembered. The decline of my race was gradual, until only myself and my parents survived. My mother and father mated and produced a clutch of six. Or was it eight? Ah, which ever it was, wild animals attacked and killed all the hatchlings except for three; my younger brother who resides in my cave, and two little sisters. And Coth can not mate with me to produce more younglings. My race is doomed to die out. Even if I find my other siblings, my kind will not survive. she murmured sadly, her ruby eyes softening.
The tawny bronze/brown scaled cobra flared her hood as she lifted her head. Sahara was keeping soldiers away from Gavin. She opened her mouth in a vicious hiss. Go help Leýa with healing him. I'll help Sahara with defending. she said, already darting away. She slashed her tail, sending four soldiers flailing into the air. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal.

Re: Shifting Sands Gavin woke silently. One of his large golden eyes dialated slightly when the bright sun came into it. He raised himself from the ground. He stood, albeit weakly and very wobbly, but still he stood. He looked at the creatures around him and said, Auch, ye ha mah thanks fer helpin this auld bird tae get tae feelin better. I'm in yer debt. said the huge bird as he moved slowly abotu the elven camp. He came over to Solarae and Shaina, as well as Sahara. He said, How long have I been out?

Re: Shifting Sands Solarae shook her head at Shaina. There could be more of you, perhaps to the East. I saw many when I was there, and that was less than five hundred years ago, she offered hopefully, thinking it would be wonderful for Shaina if there were. She turned and started heading towards where Gavin was, only to see the great roc rise on unsteady feet and hobble toward them. She frowned in concern when he joined them. You've been out for a while, long enough for us to send most of the soldiers packing. Do you feel any better? she asked, wondering what kinds of injuries her friend had sustained.

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina lifted her head from her coiled position. Her tongue flicked out in amusement. Indeed. Sahara was busy keeping soldiers away from you and my friend while you were unconscience. She held her own quite well. she said, touching the young Roc's shoulder with the tip of her tail. Her gentle ruby eyes fixed on the gigantic white male. Indeed. Your wings were in a bad way when I last saw you. she remarked, and despite her better conscience, concern for the elder Roc laced through her tone.
----------------------------- Sahara settled herself down close to Gavin to wait for him to wake. She lifted her head as Shaina and the small dragoness (Solarae she learned a little later) approached the white Roc. She shuffled her wings in embarrassment and modesty as the large snake praised her for protecting the gigantic male. It was nothing... she murmured. A shiver went down her spine as the tip of Shaina's tail touched her shoulder. It tickled ferociously, but she just twitched it in irritation. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal.

Re: Shifting Sands Gavin looked at Solarae, slightly crestfallen when he heard that the fight was all but over. He said, Well, I'm not up at tha top o maih game, but I'l on my way. Then he listened to Shaina, and said, Shes got tha blood o the great Rocs of the past in her, shes a natural fighter, whether she knows it or not. And, ye were right, I was in a bad way, that bird broke my backbone, and it disabled my wings, and the hit also broke a few bones, but I'm gonna get better. said the Roc as he shoved Sahara lightly, his way of thanking her.

Re: Shifting Sands Solarae grinned at Sahara when Shaina commended the young roc. I agree. You show some skill, she said cheerfully. She frowned at Gavin at the roc's unfortunate news. It is lucky the break was not more severe or higher, or you would not survive. Most breaks to the spine cause instant death. We should ask the elves to speed your healing, the dragoness suggested, thinking that Gavin was lucky to be alive. She had killed many larger creatures by propelling herself into a vulnerable spot on their backs and snapping the spine; it was a good thing the roc was so large and protected. Maybe those fluffy feathers of yours absorbed some of the blow, she added with a laugh.

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina rumbled in her chest. Yes, she does. she said in response to Solarae and Gavin. She frowned in worry. Mm, I agree with Solarae. Leýa! Come over here, she called to her friend. The female elf turned, then began to walk over. The gigantic cobra laughed heartily at her dragon friends pun. Indeed. With all that fluff, a sword would most likely be useless to reach skin. she replied

Re: Shifting Sands Auch, I cannae help it, I were cursed wi beauty since I hatched. screeched the Roc jokingly as he nestled down on the earth, much in the samw way a mother bird would her eggs, however there was one clear difference, this bird was a warrior, it could be seen from his eyes, as well as the many muscles that stood out all over his body. He then said to the elves near him, When will I be able to fly again?

Re: Shifting Sands Solarae laughed heartily at Gavin's added comment, glad that the mood was lightened from more serious matters. It made her friend's injuries seem less of a concern. They would be healed and he would be fine, and then they could determine the reason for the attack. Does anyone know why those soldiers attacked this specific place? she asked, suddenly becoming curious. Was there something here they wanted, or was this a random act of violence? Did any of the elves know, or would the reason have to be found some other way? Solarae glanced at the nearby elves hopefully.

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina remained in her coiled position as her friend inspected Gavin. Leýa finished and said in answer to his question,"Two three days, at the most. Until then, no flying. Otherwise you will reinjure your spine and have to be brought back here for immediat healing." she said, then walked away. But her friend stopped and looked over her shoulder at Solarae's query,"None of the elves know. These attacks happen quite often, but we have never found out why, or where the soldiers are coming." she replied, then continued away to heal other of her kin that needed aid. The cobra flicked her tongue. Yes, it is true. Each attack is stronger than the last. This one almost overwhelmed the elves. If the threat is not found soon, I'm afraid of what will happen to Ellesmere when they come the next time. she said. The nervous clicking of Sahara's taloned feet caught her attention. What is it, young one? she murmured.
----------- Sahara flinched involuntarily when Shaina looked at her, soon followed by every one elses eyes. She lowered her head to stare at the ground, her feathered face burning. Well, I was just wondering if you can't find the source above ground...look below it. There might be a hidden city of some sort where they put humans into a hybernating state, then awaken them only for the attack. If it was large enough, several thousands of soldiers could be hidden there and kept alive. she said quietly. She looked up sheepishly. I know it sounds stupid, but... she trailed away, too embarrassed to continue. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal. Wiol ono Rest in peace, ILS. You'll be greatly missed...

Re: Shifting Sands Gavin looked at the bright young Roc and said, Actually, that is not a bad idea, especially since it could work,and work well, the elves would never look for an enemy from below them, always above, especialy since Galbatorix has Shruikan, and for soldiers. It cannae hurt tae have a gud auld look about. said the Roc as he looked about annoyedly when he learned that he would not be flying that day.

Re: Shifting Sands Solarae gave a decisive nod, already planning to go searching for the soldiers and the reason they attacked this area. Well, then I think we should find their reason for attack and their location, she said cheerfully. She looked at Sahara when the roc spoke her idea, and laughed. Well, I wouldn't put it past 'em. It sounds like a good place to start for me. Are there any underground entrances around here that we could start looking in? I say we head out as soon as possible, she exclaimed, eager to have a possible job to do for the elves. Solarae liked to do her part for the cause against Galbatorix and evil in general, and any small job made a difference.

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina nodded thoughtfully at Sahara's comment. Indeed. And yes Solorae, there is a few entrances that I know of. One of them is deep within my cave. she said absently. She lifted her head to look at Gavin. Can you move fast on your legs, or do you want me to carry you with my tail? Or even wait a few days so you can fly again? she asked, her soft ruby eyes flashing with excitment of an adventure, for the first time in decades.

Re: Shifting Sands Gavin rounded fiercely on teh cobra and said, I'll nay stan here an be insulted by ye! I can walk, an I can fight, carry me, I ha never been so insulted in mih life! said teh Roc angrily as he stalked away and as an entire contengent of elves ran after him trying to subdue him and keep him there so that he could better heal. He finally turned on them and screeched angrily and they backed away muttering about how he would regret it. Then the huge bird came back and said, Auch, air we nay gonna find tha enemy, or are we gonna sit here an grow old?

Re: Shifting Sands Solarae snorted out laughter at Gavin's exclamation that he had never been so insulted. When he returned and further added that they should go, she grinned and gave a nod. I couldn't agree more, Gav. Seems like your personality wasn't affected by your injury, which is good. Shall we head off? she stated, her dagger-sharp fangs bared in an eager grin. She was excited to be off on another mission; another way to help defeat the forces of evil. But, of course, they'll never be completely defeated. That'd just be boring, she thought with amusement.

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina hissed in amusement as Gavin's plumage ruffled. She lowered her body down and slithered forward, her great size allowing her to move quickly. She grinned back at Solarae. Come on then; let's head back for my cave. the scales along her back bristled. This should do me some good. I haven't had a nice adventure in years. she said, rasping her barbed tongue over her lips.
--------------------------- Sahara screeched softly in excitement, then lifted her wings and beat them several times. She hovered in the air, then slowly moved forward. Her cerulean blue eyes riveted on Shaina's moving body, making sure that it stayed in her sights. OOC: Bleh, writer's block.lol _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal.

Re: Shifting Sands Solarae sprang after Shaina, grinning and waving her tail in delight. Oh, I just love going on missions like this. Exploration, discovery, and the opportunity to whoop some evil-tail at the end. What's not to love? she said cheerfully, settling into a nice trotting speed. Once they were out of the forest she would fly, but for now she enjoyed just moving on the ground. Her claws sank very nicely into the soft forest floor, and the leaves and branches of plants brushed her scales. She felt more a part of the forest when she was on the ground. It was odd, really. Her two favorite places were the desert and the forest, almost complete opposites.
So how do you know the entrance in your lair leads to the caves around here? Have you been exploring in it often? Solarae asked the giant snake, curious. She had explored caves herself, and one particular cave she remembered from Du Weldenvarden came to mind. However, she doubted that one connected with the caves in this area. It was separated by a fairly deep valley and river system. _________________ ****Phalynx**Solarae**Rigel**Alna'ir**Sirius**Ecco**Temias**Kalo**** And I'm watching out for your charries, ILS. *****Faefnir***Navarre***Rimfax***** |

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina's grin widened. No, I have never gone below the ground. For the first part, I have no idea if my bulk will fit down there. And second, I would be alone. Coth wouldn't be able to follow me, since he can not change his shape to that of the much easier human size. she rumbled, her scales wrustling against the ground with a soft rasp.

Re: Shifting Sands Auch, if ye cannae fit in tha wee hole as a wee snake, how am I tae get in there? asked the Roc when he heard Shania say that she might not be able fit in there. He hissed and continued to walk after them, he looked very humorious indeed, a giant bird with one wing bandaged tightly, and the other held tightly to his side, waddling much in the same fasion as a duck, after a dragon, a giant snake, and another Roc.

Re: Shifting Sands Solarae eyed Shaina with interest. So we're winging it, eh? Heh, my favorite way of doing things, she finally said with a laugh. There were extensive cave systems under Alagaesia, and there was a good chance that the snake's cave led north and joined with the tunnels under Du Weldenvarden. And once there, they could begin searching for any hideouts of the soldiers that had attacked.
The small orange dragoness laughed at Gavin's words and patted him on the side with one wing. Don't worry, buddy. I'm sure we'll find a cave big enough for ya'. And if we don't, you can be our aboveground correspondance. Maybe even scout out for caves under this area of Du Weldenvarden. But like I said, I'm sure we'll find a way for you to come with, she replied cheerfully. OOC: So unless anyone wants something to happen on the trip, I suggest we time skip to when they reach Shaina's lair. _________________ ****Phalynx**Solarae**Rigel**Alna'ir**Sirius**Ecco**Temias**Kalo**** And I'm watching out for your charries, ILS. *****Faefnir***Navarre***Rimfax***** |

Re: Shifting Sands OOC:
You and I think alike, Draco.lol IC: Time Skip; Shaina slithered into her cave, her tawny brown-bronze scales rasping dryly against the ground. Her ruby eyes scanned the back of her lair, searching for the dark hole. It lay to her right, down a long tunnel. Coth poked his head out, his gentle rose red eyes questioning. The she-serpent hissed comfortingly to him, and he pulled back. Her hood opened momentarily, but she closed it again and shifted down to her human form. Her stave, now attached in a special harness on her back, gleamed dully in the light. Shaina turned her now bronze colored eyes onto Solarae, and smiled. She took a darkened torch with oil and cloth wound around the tip. Her smile turned oppologetic as she addressed her dragon friend,"Would you mind lighting this with your fire, Sol? I don't want any of you bumping your noses in the darkness." she said. ----------------------------------------- Sahara ruffled her light-dark brown feathers as she slid into the cold, dark cave. She was unsure whether she wanted to go underground. She prefered light and heat and open spaces. But then again, with Gavin maybe not able to go down, Shaina and Solarae might need her help if they got in trouble. Her cerulean blue eyes glinted with determination as she straightened up to her full height. She would go. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal. Wiol ono Rest in peace, ILS.

Re: Shifting Sands Gavin looked at the hole and said, I cannae fit in there. I'll be less than useless unter tha ground. I think I will have take fly above and take care of anythign ye flush out for me. Twill be like hunting for otters in the frozen lakes from my birthplace. said the Roc as he flexed his wing and the bandage fell off. He stretched his wongs to their fullest extent once he got out of the cave and smiled at the others. He said, I'll have tae find my own way under tha ground, until then, send some up tae me, I'll see em you can get on that. said the Roc as she shot into the sky, glat to be once more in the air and glad that his wing had finally healed.

Re: Shifting Sands Solarae stood at the entrance to the cave until Shaina had finished shifting to her hominid form. When the snake-girl turned back, she quickly darted inside. In the dim light from the outside, she could see the small opening on the side of the cave, which was unfortunately too small for Gavin to fit into. No prob, Shaina, she replied with a grin when she asked Solarae for a little fire. The dragoness hopped over and breathed a small, controlled jet of flame over the small torch until it efficiently caught fire. The entrance light was blocked momentarily as Sahara entered after them, and Solarae looked back out to see what Gavin would do. Luckily, his wings seemed operable once again, and he told them of his intentions. I'll make sure and chase a few enemies outside for ya', then, Gav, Solarae agreed cheerfully.

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina grinned at the fire dragoness,"Thanks Solarae." she said. The elder woman ducked her head into the tunnel, and if it hadn't of been for the torch, all three companions would have been doused in darkness. Her tawny-bronze hair shimmered dully in the fire light.

Re: Shifting Sands OOC: I think I will skip until something happens for Gavin, because well, saying he was flying doesn't do much lol.

Re: Shifting Sands OOC: Mwah! We must find some evildoers to fight! Into the caves!
IC: Solarae gave a brief nod in reply to Shaina and turned toward the dark tunnel before them. Well, let's get this show on the road! Sooner we get in there, the more enemies we'll surprise. Hopefully they won't ever know of our presence till it's too late, she spoke with a wide grin. Without waiting for the others, the orange dragoness bounded cheerfully into the cave, her footsteps light and springy. Any normal person would think she was taking a walk in a meadow on a bright summer's day, the way she was carrying herself. In fact, she was trying to recall all the jaunty tunes she knew about hunting for enemy soldiers. After a while of traveling in the dark tunnels, lit only by torchlight, Solarae picked up an interesting scent. Oo! Oo! I got a trail! she exclaimed happily, racing over immediately to the direct scent-line. It led on through the caves. Now we're gettin' somewhere! she added, looking back at her friends with a grin. OOC: Hope you don't mind the time-skippish thing. Just thought you would appreciate a quickening of pace.  _________________ ****Phalynx**Solarae**Rigel**Alna'ir**Sirius**Ecco**Temias**Kalo**** And I'm watching out for your charries, ILS. *****Faefnir***Navarre***Rimfax***** |

Re: Shifting Sands OOC:
That is perfectly all right with me. I might have Vermona jump in later if I can...I wonder if I should have Allen tag along with her, even thought I haven't posted his bio yet. IC: Shaina smiled at Sol, enjoying herself by watching the energetic dragoness skip ahead in excitement,"You weren't joking when you told Gavin you still had the heart of a yearling, despite your age. I believe you now." she said with a chuckle,"I've never seen one of your kind be so...relaxed and buoyant. And so not acting your age." she grinned, her bronze colored eyes glittering as she teased her friend. Her grin widened when Sol found a scent. The she-serpent lifted her head and sniffed at the air, wrinkling her nose in distaste,"You found something all right. Whatever that is, it makes my lip curl." she grimaced. Sahara clicked up behind her, her expression somewhat confused. What are you two talking about? I don't smell a thing. Course that might attribute to my very poor sense of smell. grumbled the female Roc. Shaina smiled and patted the young ones folded wing,"Your senses will get stronger with age, trust me. Just follow close behind me and Solarae for now, and watch your tail." she said gently, again turning to follow Sol at a clipped walk. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal.

Re: Shifting Sands Gavin soared over the forest of Du Weldenvarden, his large wings propelling him high through the sky and his keen eyes allowing him to watch the elves, animals, as well as the occasional dull gleam of the steel that the few soldiers on the surface of the forest wore. Every time he saw one, he swiftly dealt with the problem. Some of the more skilful soldiers had namaged to nick his feet, or his legs, but none of the injuries were serious. He was having a good time, it was like hunting the seals over the large lake at his birthplace. All you had to do was wait for it to pop out of the hole, then you snatched it. It was like a game to the giant bird.

Re: Shifting Sands Solarae sniffed the ground some more to determine what the direction of their quarry was, since the trail ran in two directions. The strongest part of the trail ran to the left. All right, I got it picked up. Let's go while it's still fresh! she cried, breaking into a quick trot down the passage. The trail curved along with the tunnel, eventually heading north. Solarae no longer needed to keep her head bent; once the orange had a scent trail in her targets, distance was not an issue. She glanced around the walls, seeing a little more moisture in the cracks. This trail runs north, toward Du Weldenvarden. It looks like this is definitely the right one, she commented. The smell, as well as being in the right direction, was very similar to the smell of the soldiers she had fought with the elves.

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina growled to herself. Who could be amassing a large army underground? Not Galby, he had enough troubles keeping his troops together above ground, let alone building another one as an aside. She nodded absently as Sol found a trail, stronger this time. She followed close behind the dragoness at a brisk trot, her torth held out in front of her like a shield. Carefully, the elder-snake eased her stave from its harness on her back and held it at her side, in case its service was needed.
------------------------ Sahara clicked her beak nervously as she trailed behind Shaina. At Solarae's exclamation, the young Roc drew in a deep breath, then let it out sharply. That's definitely the right scent! she cried, her cerulean blue eyes widening with delight. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal. Wiol ono Rest in peace, ILS. You'll be greatly missed...

Re: Shifting Sands Solarae kept up a quick pace along the scent trail, eager to reach her quarry. Whoever had made this trail had not been moving very fast, so the dragoness knew they were catching up to the source. Finally, they reached a point where the scent trail was barely five minutes old, and Solarae heard a few small noises coming from up ahead. The smells of more soldiers reached her nostrils around an upcoming turn in the tunnels. Alright, since we have a light, we should either douse it or move in quickly. There's a group of our prey just around that turn ahead, Solarae said, nodding to a barely-visible corner about two hundred feet distant. We could either attack now, or follow this group and see where they go, she added, turning to her two companions.

Re: Shifting Sands Shaina crouched down, keeping the torch low to the ground so it wouldn't rebound off of the far wall and alert the group to their presense. She pursed her lips in thought, then nodded sharply to herself. She touched both Sahara's mind and Solarae's, so that everyone in the group could hear the other. Can you smell any others ahead of this group? she directed at Sol. If you can then I say we attack, but if this troup is the only one for the next, say, league, then we should probably just follow. she said, grinding her teeth as she thought the words to her friends. Usually she wasn't so bloodthirsty, but it had been a long time since her last good battle, and she was itching for adventure.
------------------- Sahara stepped very carefully so her talons didn't make quite such a ruckus against the stone floor. She stopped beside Shaina and settled down onto her chest like she was going to sleep. Her light-dark brown feathers almost completely melted into the darkness of the tunnel. Only her flashing cerulean blue eyes were truly visible. _________________ Eka fricai un Shur'tugal. Wiol ono Rest in peace, ILS. You'll be greatly missed...
