Tialgo was exploring the extremly large Hadarac desert. Night in the desert was cold, very cold, luckily for Tialgo his fur and ability to create fire kept him warm. Tialgo stopped dead in his tracks, thanks to his enhanced senses Tialgo smelt human blood it was far but not that far. Tialgo started to ran to the sorce of the sent and he found a small camp of human soilders. Dead bodies were scattered around the camp, but here was one strange looking fellow with his sword out and drenched in blood. Tialgo walked carefully to the man and greeted himaself. "Hello, I am Tialgo and I mean you no harm as long as you mean no harm to mean." Tialgo said in the ancient laguage, that was all he knew how to say. "Did you kill these men?" Tialgo asked in English eyeing the bodies and eventually returning his gaze to the stranger.

Tialgo was confussed. Thay asked for it? They looked inocent to me, but my eyes have failed me before. he tought to himself. Tialgo looked over Aaron he looked human but Tialgo knew he wasn't. "What exactly did they do to you?" Tialgo hestitated after he said that. "I understand if you don't wish to tell me."

OOC: short

"An Urgal?" Tialgo had never seen an urgal but he has heard about them. They were supposed to be big and strong with grey skin and horns. Tialgo followed Aaron into the tent it was destroyed but one thing stood out and large black stone. Is that what I think it is!? Tialgo thought to himself. Its...its a dragon egg! "Amazing I never thought I would see one. I so beautiful." Tialgo said as he tounched the egg. It was as hard as rock and yet it felt hollow. When Tialgo touched it the egg gave a little shake, Tialgo startled quickly removed his paw and took a few steps back. "Is.. is it going to hatch?" Tialgo said still a little nervous.

Tialgo was staring into the blackness of the egg. He was startled when a large silver dragon appeared from the sky. Tialgo gave the dragon a bow and greated her. "Hello Phalynx." Tialgo had seen the dragon but he never really officaly introduce himself. "I fight for my friends not the Varden or the Empire. She may be right Aaron, but there is nothing to be done now." Tialgo returned his gaze to the black egg. "So, what are we going to do with this egg?"

OOC: short!

[color=#00FF00]Aaron thought about what Phalynx, he didn't see the murder first hand, he had come across the dead body and then figured out who the killers were. To him it was obvious, Urgals and Humans had trouble with each other many times in the past.
"I do not know, but I'm assuming it was cold blood. The body had numerous injuries from swords and, his head was decapitated. " Aaron replied as he remembered the murder. He could remember every part, like most things, quite vividly because of being part dragon and elf. His thoughts then wondered to the egg, he didn't know what to do with it at all. He could give it to the Varden or Galbatorix, but that would be too far, and possible to dangerous.
I wonder what the egg was doing out he and how the soldiers got it in the first place. If Quasar was their ally, chances are they didn't steal it from her. he thought.
"I think, we should try to find Quasar. Dragons will usually stop at nothing to get their eggs back." Aaron said.[/color]

Tialgo looked back from Aaron and Phal he could feel the tension. "So who exactly is this Quasar? And how are we going to find him?" Tialgo asked curiously trying to change the subject. He didn't want the two to start to arguing and try to rip each other apart. "If dragons are so protective over their eggs then how did this one get stolen? And if we do find Quasar wouldn't it think that we stole the egg and try to kill us?"

Tialgo heard a lound scream, the screaming was very lound it hurt Tialgo's ears. This guy was getting on Tialgo's nerves, so he threw a fire ball at him. "Shut up!!" He screamed at the guy.

OOC: Your turn fang.

OOC: draco, you can go if you want to.

"Sorry but he was giving me a headace." Tialgo said to Phal. He watched as she picked him up with her long claws. When he passeed out he looked at Phal and Aaron and said "What should we do with him?"

pass

OOC: Sure.

Tialgo looked up to the sky were the sugar crazed elf pointed at to see none other then Valaria, eldest of his long time friend Seren and Braith. "Valkaria! Hey!" Tialgo yelled as he waved to the dragon. "I'll join you on your little quest. Don't attack the dragon she's cool" Tialgo said to everybody.

Aaron saw the new dragon come down, along with one other dragon. He gave a small laugh, his attack on the camp had now turned into a mission, he didn't mind though, he was in for something to do. "Well, I guess we are going to the center of the desert? By the way, my name is Aaron." Aaron said to Valkaria and the other new comers. He was glad that other's would be joining them in the mission.

Equinox flew deeper into the desert. He had a feeling that there was something in here very important, what it was though, he did not know. He hoped to find Quasar, and the others though... it had been so long since she, Eris, Throat Ripper, had seen him. He started down at the rolling sands below him and let out a low groan.

Galedrim followed the infromation he had, to hunt down Equinox, he knew that Quasar and the other's were here also, all headed toward's the desert's heart. What ever is there, I will meet them. At last... he said to himself.

OOC: *sees shiny object* whoa, thats awesome

Tialgo laughed when Valkaria dove down to him. "Its good to see you Valk. You've gotten bigger, I remember when you were just an egg. Anyway no time for reminiscing, lets go find this Quasar." Tialgo said. Then a green dragon landed behind the sugar crazed elf. "Well looks like we have another dragon to join our group, you must be Augustus. Greetings I'm Tialgo. Alright so lets start this mission." Tialgo said to everyone.

OOC: may I join?

OOC: If Dark Dragon says its fine, then I'll post after you do your post, I don't like to mess up orders

OOC: Yeah Kit, you can.

Aaron took Phal's offer, "Sure I will if you don't mind. Thanks." he said. It hadn't ridden a dragon since his home was destroyed so many years ago. Being part dragon, made him long for the air, and the chance of flight.
Aaron looked over as the green dot glew larger, "Hello." he said greeting the new dragon.

Quasar laid down, Eris and Throat Ripper next to her. She yawned, and rows of shiney sharp teeth were shown before she closed her mouth.
"Shoudl we cover some more distance while its still light out?" asked Throat Ripper.
No, it's alright to rest. We don't have to worry about anything right now. she said.
Throat Ripper and Eris shrugged, and helped set up camp for the rest of the day.

OOC: I'm kind of confused now... What is the order now?

OOC: Well, I was going to post after CDG, which would have been at the end of the order but DD skipped her I think, so... I'm not sure

OOC: so i guess it is my turn then. And you forgot me in your list CDG

IC: Shyara had been craving the blistering heat of the desert after spending such along time from 'home' and in the freezing conditions she had endured. That day had been beautiful, the sun was shining brightly giving immense amounts of heat, and Shyara gladly welcomed them. Kit was on her back, Ecivres and Shyra to her right and down alittle. She gazed around aimlessly till her eye caught what looked to be an old campsite, and in the middle of it a the form of a bright, white dragon. I'd recognized that anywhere. Shyara sped up and was soon over the group. Below her was Phal on the ground with Tialgo, Paconio and his dragon Augustus, there was also a human, and up above them alittle a smaller purple(?) dragon that she guessed was one of Braith's and Seren children because she shared in a few key characteristics of them both. Hi Phal, Paconio, Augustus, Tialgo, and I'm guessing you're Valkaria, she said to the dragon. She then turned to the human, I don't think I've met you, I'm Shyara, this is Ecivres, Kit, and Shyra. What are you guys doing out here in the middle of no where?

OOC: And I'm going to bring in another of my characters as soon as Aeraldi moves her to Accepted

OOC: ok, now I go.

What should I tell them to explain why you are hiding Paconio asked Augustus.

Just tell them what I told you Augustus replied

Paconio lightly rubbed his head, and then said "Augustus says his face is so beautiful that if you look directly at his face, you will go blind" He chuckled. Augustus had a way with jokes.

Paconio climbed onto Augustus's back, but before he fastened the straps on the saddle, he poured another bag of sugar into his mouth.

Augustus laughed at Paconio. He didn't think Paconio would actually say it, but then again you don't know what a sugar crazed two legs would do if dared.

Augustus rolled his eyes as he heard another sugar packet being torn open...

"Shraya, Kit, Shrya, and Ecivres! Its good to see you guys again. We are going to return an egg to its mom wanna come?" Tialgo asked to Shraya and company when they landed. When Paconio spoke of why Agustus wouldn't show his face Tialgo rolled his eyes and thought to himself Strange rider, strange dragon. "say Valk, Is it cool if I ride with you? " Tialgo asked Valkaria who was still gilding around above them. "Are you guys ready to go?" Tialgo asked everybody.

OOC: oops, sorry for skipping you last round darkdragon I think I'll pass for both of my characters this turn, except for this little reply to Phal from Augustus:

This is actually a first time thing, and he always keeps the sugar securely hidden! Augustus said to Phal in a very quiet voice.

OOC: I'm gonna be gone for a while; until Tuesday. Please don't skip me.

That's ok Draco. Don't worry, we won't skip you.

OOC: so what is the order?

OOC: Dark
Ben
Fanghur
Draco
CDG
Kit

Ben went last so its your turn.

OOC: Fang its your turn.

"Shraya's mom?! Well its a pleasure Ramoth. I'm Tialgo." Tialgo said bowing to the gold dragon, before he climbed up on Valkaria. "Thanks Valk. Sorry you have to carry me around." Tialgo said as she took off.

OOC: CDG its your turn

OOC: That's ok CDG. I'm glad your back =)

IC: "Alright, I'm just courious to see just who she is. And why the Varden are so interested in her." he said. He knew it was because dragons were rare, but something seemed odd about this. "Where is her rider anyway?" he wondered. To Shyara he said, "Not much for me. My life was pretty boring until I came upon that Varden camp." he said, though he left off all the parts were he had murdered people for the wrongs they had made. They don't need to know that. he said to himself. He looked into the desert, with his dragon and elf vision, he could see for distances the two races normally couldn't, "Phal, do you see that? It looks like someone or something is messing up sand over there." he said.

Equinox was surprised to see Quasar, Eris, and Throat Ripper. It had been so long since he had last laid eyes on his three companions. He gave a smile at them, even though Quasar had him pinned to the ground.
Quasar... I only left to not put you three in danger. Equinox said hoping they would understand.
YOU LITTLE SELFISH ARROGANT BRAT! DO YOU REALLY THINK WE WOULD CARE MORE ABOUT OURSELVES THAN YOU! We know what Crimson is doing and we don't care if he is after you! Even if he wasn't after us we wouldn't care! We were all worried about you and thought you may be dead! Now tell me, how is that worry good for your friends! Do you really want to do that to us! Quasar roared at him.
I'm sorry... I didn't mean to make you worry I just thought...
"You just thought we wouldn't care about you did you? Well you know what Equinox, there are people out here who are also being hunted by Crimson, Galedrim, and Frazer, and those same people also want to help you." said Eris.
"Yes, now come so we can rest. And don't think about flying off, or Quasar will probably tackle you too the ground." said Throat Ripper
Our little urgal friend is correct. Quasar said in a threatining voice.

Crimson received noticed from the nomads he had under mind control of where the party of four had camp. Equinox just arrived there, and the nomads were on their way to fight them. Crimson gave a dark laugh, Galedrim, get ready. Soon, revenge will be ours, and we shall bring about Equinox, Quasar, Eris, and Throat Ripper's death. They will not suspect our trap. he said to him.
Crimson moved forward, riding a horse as black as the night time sky. Behind him more sand rose up. And above him, was Frazer. The bronze dragon's scales were now very deep bronze.

Galedrim moved out, his forces were to surround the four and attack from all sides. Frazer would deal with one of the two dragons, and the horse archers would deal with the other. I have no idea why you seek the center of the desert Quasar. But none of you will be alive by the time this day is out. Galedrim said to himself.

Paconio shivered as Augustus took off into flight. Why did he have the feeling someone was watching him? He pushed the feeling aside, there were more important things at hand for the moment.

"Does nine months ago count as 'new'?" Paconio replied to Shyara. Nine months ago was a big moment for both him and Augustus. That was when Augustus hatched for Paconio in front of Du Weldenvarden. It was the most important thing that had happened in both of their lives.

Augustus twitched his nose. That guy again. He said to himself. This person had been following Paconio and Augustus for weeks now. Augustus hadn't told Paconio so he could live his normal life without having to worry about stalkers like this one.

One thing Augustus noticed about this guy was that sometimes he seemed to take an animal form or float to try to get near Paconio without being noticed. Of course, Augustus caught the stalker in the act on all of the occasions, forcing him to retreat.

Vladimir smirked and laughed quietly to himself. His brother was going to be his slave whether he liked it or not. He floated back a bit, as not to be noticed by Paconio's friends...

"Actually Shraya something is new, I just met you mom!" Tialgo said as he mounted Valkaria. He held on tight as she took off. Tialgo as smelling the air trying to catch a dragon's scent instead he caught an elf's. Tialgo turned around to see an elf flying behind Augustus! "Say Paconio, do you know that elf flying behind you?" Tialgo asked, he had a evil smirk on his face like he was planning something bad.

OOC: Fanghur, I think Vladimir is in animal form.

IC: Phalynx turned from her friends and followed Aaron's gaze out into the desert. You're right, Aaron. And I can pick up whatever it is from higher without us getting too close, she said. At that distance, only the large cloud of dust was what gave away whatever was out there. Phal couldn't make out any infrared signatures either because of the heat radiating from the ground. She immediately flapped higher into the sky, soaring past Ramoth and up quite high, though she made sure that Aaron still had enough air. She let some extra infrared light radiate from her scales to keep him warm.

From this height, the thing in the desert further out was indeed made more plain. She hissed with anger, recognizing the two familiar figures at the head of a small army. There is a dark elf and a dragon out there, neither on our side. Their names are Crimson and Frazer, she told all of her friends, spitting out Crimson's name like venom, but saying Frazer's more quietly. She had once cast Crimson out of the poor dragon's mind, but he had re-entered too soon. Perhaps if she could break him free again, he could keep it that way. Frazer was not serving the evil man by choice.

Without a word, Phal raced off towards the army. In ten minutes she had reached the airspace above them and dove down, her scales blazing with silver light. There's no need to get involved if you don't want to, Aaron. Just stay low along my back and the glow should shield you from view, if you wish, she said to him as she pulled up above Crimson's head, far out of range of their arrows and spears. Well, I see you're in a hurry, Crimson. I'm sure there must be a reason, and not a good one, she spat at him ferociously, her scales and eyes aglow.

OOC: Yea lol, I forgot to mention that. He is currently in animal form.

ooc: in like a bird form?

OOC: Yes, a bird form. I keep forgetting to mention this stuff!

Ramoth waited high up in the sky, she didn't know anything about these dark beings and thought it best if she didn't get to involved just yet.

Shyara watched and waited to see how things would progress, her aunt was very able at solving situations quickly and with little to no blood shed.

OOC: Pass turn

Paconio and Augustus were flying not too far behind Valkaria. When she too had noticed the bird, Paconio nodded and said "Yea, that's what I was thinking, but then again I could be wrong."

When Paconio saw the dark elf and dragon, he gasped. They headed what looked to be a giant army. I'm going to need a lot of sugar for this Paconio said to himself with a bit of a chuckle.

Should we come to help you? Paconio asked Phal. He figured he would get a 'yes', but it seemed more polite to ask.

Augustus instantly felt nervous when Paconio asked Phal what they should do. He felt that he might loose control and accidentally hurt some of their comrades.

As for the bird tailing them, it could wait. There were more important things at hand.

Vladimir saw the giant army below. It really made him wonder how people can get that many people follow under their rule without question, without mind control that is. Vladimir then made the mental note: 'look into mind control'.

Now, back to Paconio He told himself. He now flew with his bird body even closer to Paconio + company. Just to make them feel strange, Vladimir made a really loud noise that sounded nothing like a bird.

"What the hell was that?!" Tialgo yelled after hearing a loud, unnatural sound coming from the strange bird. "Something ain't right about that bird." Tialgo said quietly. He looked down to see a massive army. "Wow, that's a lot of people we have to fight." Tialgo said. He started to throw some fire at the people killing a few at a time. Crimson. Tialgo thought as he saw the dark elf. "Hey Phal what exactly is the difference between a elf and a dark elf?" Tialgo asked.

Crimson saw Phal and several others, most he didn't reconize come. "Oh, hello Phal, I'm sorry, but nothing will stop me, besides, even if you halt my troops, Galedrim should already be attack Quasar and Equinox by now." said Crimson. He grabbed his sword, and jumped back as Aaron tried to attack him.
"Attack! Horse archers aim for the dragons!" he ordered. His soldiers started to attack, but Aaron focused mainly on Crimson.
"Why do you fight me fool! Do you really think you can kill me."
"Crimson, I have heard many of the foul things you have done. I can not let a feind like yourself live."
Crimson laughed, "Very well then." He jumped, and struck down at Aaron, but with the speed of an elf he jumped out of the way. He parried a stroak to his side, and jumped up high, and fliped behind Crimson.
"Heh, do you really think you can kill me?" he taunted.
Crimson laughed, "You half breeds amuse me."
Aaron smirked at Crimson and said with a laugh, "Well, at least your smart enough to know I'm not pure human, elf, dwarf, or dragon."
"Then you will die Aaron. I will kill each and everyone of you." Crimson said, he said several words, and the sand around them started to swirl like a sand storm.

Equinox and Quasar darted off into the air as the soldiers attacked. They flew towards the horse archers and Quasar flew down to them, and started hacking at them with claws, and Equinox singled some out with lightning. He looked for Galedrim, but was unable to find him due to the mass of enemy soldiers.
Well, I know one thing to get several of them away. said Equinox. He let out a great roar, and several of the horses bucked, and started to run rampet amung the enemy soldiers.

Throat Ripper deflected a sword with his axe. He rolled under a swipe, and jumped up behind the soldiers and struck him in the back. He turned, and ducked as a sword went inches over his head.

Eris searched for his brother, and blocked a strike to his chest. He turned, and saw Galedrim, glaring with great hate at his brother. The two glared, and Galedrim was first to strike. Without saying a word to his brother he struck at his chest. Eris jumped back, and parried the strike.

Vladimir advanced upon Paconio and Augustus before they could fly away to help their friends. He returned to his human form, his black hair blowing in the wind. He hovered a little above Augustus's back. "I know you more than you think, young Paconio" Vladimir said in a very sickening tone. His voice seemed sure, as if he had been stalking Paconio for sometime now. Vladimir then lunged his sword at Paconio. His fangs poked out of his mouth, waiting to be fed the blood of his brother.

Paconio jumped when he heard the voice. His stomach turned from the tone. Paconio then parried the following strike, even more so disgusted by the fangs. Paconio then sliced at Vladimir in return, only missing by a hair. "Who are you!?" Paconio demanded.

Augustus was about to fly when the bird turned back into his regular form. Uh... We um might not be able to help you for a little bit Phal, we kinda um have trouble of our own... Augustus said to Phal in a quiet tone, man shyness isn't very helpful...

All this was confusing Tialgo, light magic, dark magic, magic this, magic that. All he knew was that Crimson was bad and he need to die. "Is there a specific way to kill dark elves, like do you have to stab them through the heart like a shade?" Tialgo asked anybody. He continued to kill soldiers by using his fire. But there were so many. How did this Crimson get so many people to follow him?

Crimson stood up after Phal sent him crashing into the ground. He saw her and another dragon fly off, They must have something of value with them? "You four!" he pointed to four horsemen, "Follow the two dragons, and see where they are going." he ordered.
Before they could do anything, Aaron attacked one of the horsemen, slicing the horse, and the man fell off, and he stabbed him. "You will not be following them Crimson." he said in a threatining voice.
"What is it they are hiding? You fools make it too obvious."
"That's for us to know, and for you to never find out."
"I guess I will just have to take over your mind then."
"You can try, but my mind is more sheilded than a pure dragon." Aaron said.

Aaron lunged at Crimson. He jumped over, and blasted a gust of sand at him. It did not bother Aaron, but it gave Crimson a chance to attack him. He blocked the sword inches from him, and jumped over Crimson and landed on his feet.
"You are strong... for an elf." said Aaron.
"I will not be taken down by a mutant!" Crimson snarled.
"Call what what you wish Crimson, but your arrogance will eventually be your downfall."
To Aaron surprise though, Crimson didn't attack him next. He sent up a large flaming bolt of melted glass and sent it flying at Shyara.

Quasar roared as a soldier struck her on the thigh. She snapped at him, and took off his head. She flew into the air, and blasted a jet of fire, buring three men alive. She felt as several arrows came from her, and blood started to drip. She dove right into the archers, and started ripping them apart.

Eris and Throat Ripper stood back to back, swinging their weapons, and protecting the other. They both looked at the soldiers, how could defeat them all?
Eris was sidetracked when Galedrim attacked him again. He war forced to leave Throat Ripper's side to fight his brother.

Equinox shot two bolts of lightning down at the soldeirs, and flew lower, and clawed down at them. He had to veer away as a pikeman stabbed him in the leg with his pike.

Vladimir smirked. Paconio's previous question really made him want to tell him the shocking truth. Instead of flat out telling Paconio, Vladimir said, "Let's just say it's more than a stalker-person-stalked-bond" Vladimir then lunged at Paconio's left side. He then jerked away at the last second and hit Paconio's right side with his sword. Bright red blood squirted everywhere. Vladimir then reached out a hand, gathered a tiny hand full of blood, and drank it.

Paconio roared in pain as the sword hit his right side. He fell over onto Augustus, the color draining from his face. When he saw his blood being drank by this mysterious foe, he simply passed out. Blood was one thing, your own blood being drank by some weirdo that is suggesting that he knows you is quite another.

OOC: fang, its your turn. And I really want to finish this one

ooc: is Valkaria staying in her caves? cause Tialgo is still on her back

OOC: Umm, are you done editing, Cdg?
