OOC: Did someone say 'Special' and 'Epic'? Btw, Alcioraell's joining in later for part of the battle.

IC:Eriel smiled at the elf, telling Aelir to be quiet.

Eriel walked up to him and tapped him on his neck, grinning as he turned around, his face bearing the look of surprise. She put his hand over his mouth as he began to speak. "Wouldn't it be nice if your two swords could be molded into one connected at their bases?" She asked casually in a 'we're just friends' tone.

OOC: Oo, burn Keralin. She seriously burned you. Can someone explain what happened between you two, so I can join in an effective way?

OOC: I could get in on an epic battle! Bring it on! Oh, and ILS, here's Phal's verion of "effective". hee hee.

IC: Phal was flying. A favorite passtime, when she wasn't away helping others and fighting in battles. I need more free time. This battle stress is starting to get to me! She suddenly looked down in infrared vision, getting slightly hungry and wondering if there was some small animal to be had. She suddenly saw something. Not far out of a town, she noticed a large squirrel; an excellent little snack if roasted. The young dragon was definately enjoying her newly found firebreath. She swooped down and was about to land below the tree in order to fry the squirrel, when a rock sailed out of nowhere and almost hit her foot.

"That's my squirrel! Go get another one, dumb dragon!" a small elf girl, no older than eight or so, shouted menacingly. Phal had to swerve to avoid landing and hitting the tree, and flapped hard, attempting to clear one of the building roofs. She was unsuccessful, and skidded over the top of it, claws extended. She slid and toppled over the edge with a rather clumsy crash and looked up to see two familiar dragons and their riders.

Hi guys. she said with a smile.

OOC: Well ILS... we got together (No funny thoughts here), I played the DID lalala... Emrhyst pushed him onto me while he was over me dabbing my forehead dududu... they left for hunting and we had some quiet time so... ta-da! lol. Why don't you go read up on the first 2 pages of Time is Wasting, Time is Gone on islands

OOC: Epic battle yeah I'll probably have Crimson come in later if you don't if I join.

IC: Equinox soared over the trees. Since they met earlier on an island Quasar, Eris, and Galedrim along with the urgal Throat Ripper they usually traveled with each other. Eris however now flew on Equinox. Equinox had to flap his wings faster to keep up with the larger copper dragon. Equinox made a gradual dive toward the ground.
"What are you doing!" shouted Eris.
Landing I see people down there I know. Equinox replied sending the other three the message as well.

Quasar began the descent down. She looked over at Equinox she still wasn’t used to 'watching' over Equinox. "Equinox you should land farther away they probably won't appreciate it if we bring and urgal with us we should have Throat Ripper hide first." said Galedrim.
He should be ok besides how much harm could he do. replied Equinox.

ooc: i haven't RP'ed on SF for a long time, but I see that the words 'epic' and 'battle' have taken hold on quite a few people. Wil's alone now, btw. Well, I might bring Kag in later, but Lucia's completely out of the picture. Its just Wil.

ic:Wil walked through the elf village, watching all of the elves drift around noiselessly. The late afternoon sunlight glowed with serenity through the great forest. Wil walked toward the smithy, wondering why smoke was coming from the almost ancient (even by elven standards) building. He saw the bulk of a couple of dragons and walked toward them, only half-recognizing them. "Hey!" he called, wondering if they would remember him.

OOC: Nope but since you want her in so bad... (as does Aelir i suppose?)

IC: Eriel grinned at Keralin, "You're so sweet." She laughed and turned as Emrhyst landed in the clearing, snuggling up to Aelir. She smiled and turned back to her mate, about to plant a kiss on his neck before she heard a voice sound in her ears. It sounded like a broken and lost bell being rung. She turned towards Wil, her eyes wide with wonder and shock. She looked at Keralin and quickly pulled him over to Wil. Well, she tried to anyway. She wasn't quite as strong as before, seeing as there had been a period of peace although was still as deadly with magic and her bow as before. She stood where she was and waited for Wil. Without warning, a tinge of suspicion came over her, and an urge to examine his mind showed itself. Eriel grit her teeth and resisted it, though not without effort.

Equinox and Quasar landed while the other three dissmounted them. Throat Ripper noticed everyone else and backed off behind Eris and Galedrim. He knew that everyone else probably wouldn't like the fact that an urgal was here. Equinox looked over and saw Phal Hi Phal, don't worry about Throat Ripper.. the urgal, he won't harm anyone. he said. He saw Eriel and Emrhyst and other people he didn't reconise.
Who are they? asked Quasar.
The small dragon's name is Phal I met her back at a city where Crimson attacked. That elf is Eriel and the green dragon's name is Emrhyst they are friends of my master. he replied to Eris, Galedrim, Throat Ripper, and Quasar.

Wil looked around at everyone. He sensed something happen under Eriel's expression, in her head. He felt her resisting something, could see it in the lines of her face. Probably something to do with him, if he had to guess. He turned to the dragons and others that he didn't know. "Hi, I'm Wil, a friend of Eriel's and Emrhyst's. I believe I met Keralin once before, but to everyone I don't know, well, hello." he said, feeling a bit foolish and small when all the dragons were around. His eyes darkened as he lowered his head.

OOC:Let's wait for ILS then get an order

OOC: Okay So the order is:
Aeraldi>ILS>Eriel>Drac>Dark Dragon>Kaeras. All okay?

IC: Emrhyst's eyes widened in shock. She broke the embrace and pushed him away, breathing heavily. You said what? She asked, her voice getting louder.
Rimfax chuckled maliciously. I said I want to see your pathetic, miserable little friend you call your riding hanging from my teeth, bloody and lifeless, and showing you, just before you die, my teeth protruding from her body.
Emrhyst let out a roar and lunged at Aelir, her claws sinking into his flesh.

OOC: Sorry for going out of turn but...
*Yay* An argument! Let's keep this going for awhile.

IC: Emrhyst let out a roar as furious as his. What was that for? She screamed at him. You just told me that you wanted to kill my rider! She lunged again, locking her talons with his. I can't believe you! She shouted into his mind in the language of dragons.

Eriel glared at her mate. "Why the heck are you asking me? Am I responsible for whatever your dragon said?" She shouted at him, drawing her blade, her anger rising with every stroke Emrhyst was dealing.

Alcioraell let out a laugh within Eriel's mind. "How ironic. Just when I wanted them to get together again, they fight." She smiled to herself and looked around the vast expense of Eriel's mind.

Equinox watched as Emrhyst attacked Aelir. He didn't know why she did, he saw nothing and didn't here them say anything. He watched as they were arguing. He heard Galedrim mutter something in the ancient language What did you say? Equinox asked him.
"I tried to show anything invisible but I found nothing. But I swear I saw something flicker in the blue dragon's shadow." Glaedrim replied.
I didn't see anything but I wasn't paying as close attention. Then Equinox tried to contact Emrhyst What are you doing? he asked.

Quasar stared at the two fighting dragons. She knew something was wrong but she didn't know what. Like her elven rider she saw something in the shadow but she just put it back as a trick of they eye. She knew something was wrong though. Eris grabbed his sword Don't attack anyone you fool we don't know what is happening. said Quasar.
"I'm just getting it to defend myself." Eris replied.
Humans they are so... different. Throat Ripper gripped his axe. He was ready if they attacked after all he was used to being attacked every time they ran into someone.

"What was that about?" Wil asked, jumping back. He ran back to avoid the tails, very-nearly having his head chopped off in the process. The spikes came inches from his face numerous times, but he managed to escape with a few scrapes from falling to the ground. He managed to get a safe distance away and looked back at the arguement. He gripped his blade, ready to fight if needed.

OOC: Could we change the order a lil'? I think it would be better if ILS went after me... What fun would it be if Emrhyst couldn't react now?

OOC: Yeah, there isn't an order for this thing. I'll place myself between Eriel and Aeraldi. If I put myself in the middle, Rimfax will be able to increase the ferocity of the argument, since he is hiding in Aelir's shadow. So, the order is: Aeraldi--> I-L-S--> Eriel--> draco--> dark dragon--> Kaerasman.

Rimfax chuckled silently to himself. But there just had to be one more thing he could say that would make Eriel and Aelir truly get at each other's throats. He thought carefully for a minute, then came out with: Yeah. I love tearing Emrhyst's throat out and feasting on her flesh. Rimfax chuckled again, then slipped out of Aelir's shadow and into the darkness of the forest. He decided to get out of his Dark Matter form.

EDIT: Nvm, there is an order. But the original would be better, because then Rimfax can make the argument better and enjoy Aelir's reactions. At least, until someone discovers him, which I hope will happen. lol

OOC: No... I'm actually having fun developing Emrhyst's character who I haven't done much in ages. So.. hold back on the investigation for awhile will you? Eriel and Emrhyst need some private time haha.

IC: Emrhyst stopped her attack and walked back a few paces, deep hurt showing clearly in her eyes. I... She said softly then let out a mournful roar and turned then flew away, tears streaming down her face like raindrops in a thunderstorm.

Eriel let out a scream of anger and pursued her dragon. As she past Keralin she said. "You better make this right Keralin... I've never seen her so hurt before." She glared at Aelir then shot off after her dragon.

Alcioraell shook her head.
You know... I could kill Aelir for you if you want...
Eriel shook her head.
Nah. I don't want Keralin to suffer...
Alcioraell laughed.
You sure? Just use me for a bit... show them our power together...
Eriel sighed.
Not yet.
Be my guest. But know that I'm waiting.

Emrhyst landed in a clearing and lay her head on the ground, letting her tears fall onto the grass.
Eriel hugged her dragon, kissing her cheek.
Emrhyst just turned to her rider.
I don't believe him...
Eriel sighed. You don't have to... I don't think he meant it.
He wouldn't even joke about things less serious than this!
He's a guy Emrhyst...
Maybe I chose the wrong one? Emrhyst sniffed.
Eriel fell silent and just comforted her dragon. Emrhyst sniffed sadly.

Equinox watched Emrhyst fly off crying. He looked at Aelir and shoke his head. I wonder why he said that? said Equinox to Quasar.
It wasn't him. I saw something come out of his shadow but what it was, I don't know. she replied.
"Could it be that Crimson fellow we meet earlier?" asked Throat Ripper.
I doubt it. He can only take over minds and if he did, why not just make Aelir attack one of us. said Quasar.
"Is something wrong Equinox." asked Eris.
My leg hurts slightly but I don't enough that it means Crimson is near. Equinox told Eris. Equinox thought to him self if it wasn't Crimson then who was it. The chances are whoever did that outstripped even his rider in strength, and possible evilness.

OOC: It's your go Kaerasman

Wil looked around. He was still confused about it all. He was alert and tense though. "What's going on here? I smelled...something...It went this way..." he started following the peculiar scent toward the darker part of the forest. "Guys." he whispered, drawing his blade. "I think there's something over this way."

"Halt mighty shadow and hear me out." Nilarek stood in the way of Rimfax, unmoving. "I have a proposition for you..."

"You'll have to excuse us." Keralin said to the others, walking away with his dragon. Aelir, I believe you when you say you didn't say those words and I don't believe you've been infected with the shadow. I do think though that it would be better that you don't talk to Emrhyst for a while, let me be a messenger though. Keralin said.
How do you mean? Aelir said, trying to hold back tears.
I mean say what to want to say to Emrhyst and I will relay the message. I want to make sure that she knows that you could never say anything like that and that I would never allow that kind of behavior.
Aelir took a shuddering breath in and let it out slowly, feeling slightly better but still on the verge of breaking down.
Ok, this is my message;
Emrhyst, my only love. I know there is a very good chance that you will not believe me but... I never said those words and could never say those words even if I was under the torture of the shadows. Your shard beats within my chest next to my heart and I could not live through these dark filled days without knowing that you are right there next to me. If you need proof that I am sincere I will allow you to search through my entire mind for as long as you need.
"That was a beautiful message Aelir." Keralin said out aloud. "Stay here and I'll give it to her." Keralin wrapped his arms around Aelir to comfort him. He slowly moved away and walked to where Emrhyst and Eriel had gone.

OOC: I'll let you GM my charater Eriel for the moment.

OOC: Gladly.

IC: Keralin slowly pushed aside the undergrowth separating him from Emrhyst and Eriel. He walked forward a few steps and stopped as a ringing sound pierced the air.

Eriel raised her sword, tip pointing at Keralin, flames appearing on her eyes.

Alcioraell laughed as she merged her mind with Eriel's.

Eriel shot Keralin a glare. "Take one more step forward Keralin, and you will know how death feels like when it comes from one's mate." She said loudly in three voices: Her own, Alcioraell's and Emrhyst's.

Keralin just looked at Eriel, the same hurt on Aelir's face now on his but he was resolved to control his feelings, one wrong move could mean Eriel blasting him all the way across Du Weldenvarden. "Aelir... He..."

"He wants to what? Kill me?" A pair of eagle wings made out of fire appeared on her back.

Keralin sighed. "He wants to pass Emrhyst a message."

Eriel cocked an eyebrow. "Read on..." She said then lowered her blade, slightly.
Emrhyst looked up and watched Keralin intently, her eyes still red from crying.

Keralin spoke his thoughts out loud enough for both Eriel and Emrhyst to hear.

Emrhyst bared her teeth. Lies! He said it, I felt his mind telling me those things. Don't try to fool me Keralin! She roared.
Eriel shook her head as anger made its way into her mind, causing the wings on her back to grow and a halo of sparks formed above her head.
Emrhyst let out a powerful growl.

Alcioraell let out a laugh. Go on Eriel, send him back to his dragon bloody.
Shut up. I'm not that rash. Eriel replied, steel in her voice.

OOC: I'll let you reply for the next one Aeraldi. Not sure what Ker would do in this situation.

OOC: Mmm this makes things interesting.

IC: Eriel looked at the elf before her for a second before she lost concentration of the magic. In a split-second any sort of spell she had cast was quickly shattered.
Eriel ran over to Keralin and knelt beside him then leaned forward and whispered in his ear. "You always get me with that don't you..." Eriel sniffed then looked at Emrhyst.

Emrhyst brought her claw up to her chest, she could feel a powerful heartbeat not her own. A tear fell as the two halves of her mind, logic and her emotions, fought for dominance. I...Don't Believe... You... She said softly.

Emrhyst...
I know he's tell the truth but, I just can't accept it...
Yes Emrhyst. You can.
I can't... The deed is done. If he really wanted to apologize he should have come here personally...
Eriel fell silent, unable to rebut her companion.

Eriel turned back to Keralin. "She needs someone Keralin..." She sighed.

Wil felt the hair on the back of his neck stand straight up. Immediately he felt alert, and gripped his blade nervously. Footsteps. Heavy, unstealthy footsteps. Urgal footsteps. Wil swung around and almost threw his blade with the force he'd used to pull it from the sheath. He saw an Urgal charging him with a ginormic(OOC: to coin a phrase) axe in hand. He saw the beast-man's heavy, almost slow footsteps flow with fluidity. He would easily sidestep the Urgal when it came nearer, but in the meantime... "Oi, guys, we've got a problem." He called behind him.

Keralin nodded. Aelir, come now.

Aelir walked through the forest slowly, the same expression on his face as Keralin did. When he reached the clearing he tried to talk. Emrhyst...
Aelir couldn't bring himself to say anything else in case he said the wrong thing.

Nilarek felt a presence slowly coming towards them. "My weapon is approaching." He knew he had to wait. If nothing else I can use my weapon later. He thought to himself. After all, corruption is always permanant and this one won't have Faefnir to protect her this time. Oh dear Phalynx, you shall be mine.

OOC: If anyone was wondering what I had planned.

OOC:im in too!

Sekoree was traveling through the forest. His keen sense of smell detected urgals. Urgals he thoght oh i wish i could get my hands on them! Sekoree then sat down on the ground listening to the plants around him. After a few minutes he found a group of urgals moving so he set off to find them.

Later he found a footprint fresh he thought they can't be far now!

OOC. I'll join in.

Orphina rode through Murdoc through the forest, they had been going for what seemed like days, when it had only been two hours. They passed by Rimfax and Nilarek, ten feet to the left, close enough for Murdoc to get nervous and start acting up, but far enough that Orphina can't see them.
"What's got into you Murdoc?" She asked the horse as she tried to get him under control. Murdoc reared, almost making Orphina fall off, but she held on and when he came back down, urged him forward with a squeeze from her lower leg.

Murdoc went forward, but faster then Orphina had planned, cantering towards the clearing where the main group was. They came out of the forest, cantering, and Orphina pulled sharply on the reins making Murdoc rear. Orphina lost her grip and fell heavily to the ground as Murdoc took off towards the other side of the clearing.

OOC: your turn Erial

OOC: Actually, it's ILS's turn.

OOC:whops sorry

Throat Ripper walked toward Wil with his axe out. Unknown to Wil the urgal had been taught to fight by Galedrim and Eris. When Wil sidestepped Throat Ripper turned swiftly and thruster his axe at Wil's side. The urgal jumped back avoiding the sword and like he was when Galedrim trained him he rolled on the ground and went around to Wil's back to cleave a wound with his axe.
Galedrim tried to use magic to stop the mind control on the urgal but it was too late. He turned and ran into the forest. Out of himself, Equinox, Eris, Throat Ripper, and even Quasar he was the only one who could match Crimson.
"Well. well, well, look who I have here the elf who has so far managed to escape every attempt at mind control." sneered Crimson, his great sword lying against a tree.
"Crimson what are you doing here?"
"It should be me who is asking you that. Pathetic you really are you have fallen into my trap. You elves think your senses are so great but mine are much better." Crimson jumped back and the tree fell over. Galedrim easily avoided it but a crack sounded and he fell down a ten foot hole. He yelled out in pain as what looked like a large dragon claw embedded to the ground shattered his leg."
"I will be seeing you later. I am no fool I know you will escape but I need some dragon slaves." said Crimson and he walked off.


Crimson soon found a dragon and elf he reconized. Hatred ran through him he wanted to kill both of them. He glared mainly at Emrhyst he wanted to see her dead but Galbatorix desired a dragon. He knew something was wrong with here so he breached her mind in an attempt to take it over. What past experiences had taught dragon’s minds were hard to take over so he used her misery to his advantage?
Emrhyst he said disguising his voice so she wouldn’t know it was him. How would you like revenge? I can help you, just join me weaken your barrier and I will help you. You only have to join me and soon the blue dragon can be dead.

Equinox dove for Throat Ripper but Eris used magic to block him. What did you do that for! demanded Equinox.
"He is under mind control don't kill him." replied Eris.
Well neither way someone dies. I suppose we could try to break Crimson's control over him.
Both of you be quiet. Galedrim is in danger we need to go after him. He isn't too far away but he says that Crimson means to harm someone. Equinox you stay here and try to weaken the mind control. said Quasar as she and Eris left leaving Equinox to break Crimson's control over Throat Ripper.

OOC:whos turn is it?

"Do you really think you stand a chance against me? You were just lucky your poor excuse for a dragon caught me off guard back at the island." said Crimson. He grabbed his sword. Now Frazer. said Crimson still teying to get total control over Emrhyst. He released energy into his sword and it glowed black. "Protect me from arrows." he said into the ancient language to his sword. A black aura surrounded his body to protect him from thrown objects.

Frazer came down from the air. He had know wish to do this, but he could not help. His mind forced him to. He dove at Emrhyst to help Crimson take control of her mind. He tried to say he didn't mean to, but the voice in his head wouldn't let him Help your master injure the dragon do not stop get the ground soft with blood. the voice said to his head and he obeyed.

Are you ok?" Quasar asked Galedrim After she lifted him out of the hole.
"Yes, just lend me some strength so I can heal my wound." replied Galedrim. Eris and Quasar gave him strength as he held his leg.
"Thanks, you two go back to Equinox and help him. Crimson is here somewhere." said Galedrim.
Eris and Quasar went back to help free Throat Ripper of his mind control and Galedrim pursued Crimson. He heard him shout something in the ancient language and ran over from where his voice came from.

Equinox broke back through Throat Ripper's mind but was pushed back something else was stopping him from freeing Throat Ripper. He heard Eris and Quasar come back. I need help, something keeps pushing me back. said Equinox. They joined in to help Equinox.

OOC: Passing Kaerasman again...

IC: All I need is Faefnir out of the way, I don't care where. You know my goal is Keralin. I just need the rest to not interfere. Nilarek said while watching Phal jump into the air.
"The sky won't protect you this time my dear." Nilarek used an easy spell to make spirits lift him into the air. All that could be seen from the outside was a shroud of shadows that encompassed his legs and trailed behind him slowly. He lauched a hail shadowy daggers at Phalynx's wings, attempting to bring her down to the ground. He realised after he cast the spell that using that much magic would alert anyone who wasn't occupied to their location.

Keralin would have noticed Nilarek had ne not been blinded by rage. "You may be protected from arrows but my swords will cut you into a thousand tiny pieces!" Keralin said, not bothering to conceal his rage. He charged Crimson, preparing his magic if need be.

Aelir, after figuring out what had been happening with Emrhyst, had the same reaction as Keralin but increased a hundred fold. He jumped into the air and breathed fire at the speck that was Crimson. I will soak the ground with your blood!

OOC: The fight is coming... I can't wait!

Crimson laughed as his barrier took most of the impact of the arrow. Some of it did reach him but not much. He raised his sword and sung at Eriel. He infused his sword with acid and struck down at the elf. His blow was blocked. Even with his oversized sword he could still swing it with ease. He jumped back and said "We can fight magic with magic." in the ancient language he said "Darkness swallow my foe!"

Frazer flew up. He tried to flee before the voice in his head gave him another insane order. Kill it, kill the blue dragon! shouted the voice in his head. He turned around and focused on Aelir. He flew toward the blue dragon as the voice said in Frazer's head Good. Now kill him, puncture his flesh. Make the ground drenched with his blood. Destroy him.

Equinox and Eris managed to get Throat Ripper out of mind control. His mind was so weak though that one of them had to stay with him. Eris you stay. I'll find where everyone else went. said Equinox.

OOC: you, ah... skipped me... not nice, not nice... (jk, just don't do it again! )

IC: Phal flew swiftly into the air, only to realize that Nilarek was coming up in front of her. He shot out another hail of daggers. Desperate to protect her wings, Phal did the only thing she could do, and snapped them shut. A few of the daggers bounced off of her strong back-scales as she instantly plummeted to Earth. Luckily, her sudden drop also protected her from Rimfax's dark breath. Oh, man that was close! Phal thought fearfully.

Phal snapped her wings back open before hitting the trees and instead of going higher into the air, where she knew she would be blocked, she dropped down among them. She turned to the right and zig-zagged wildly around tree-trunks and limbs. She then snapped to the left, heading for the others, and shot back out of the trees. There was just enough distance between her and the others so that she could escape, hopefully. She knew she was more swift and agile in the air than the much larger and heavier Rimfax, and Nilarek would run out of energy for his flight spell eventually. Phal only hoped that would be enough.

OOC: I'll wait for Kaerasman again, but if he doesn't make a post in here within a week then I'm going to have to count him out.

OOC: Really sorry Kaeras, but I wish to keep this going. You'll be passed until you decide to rejoin us. The order is now:
Me
I-L-S
RiderEriel
dracoaestas
dark dragon
xwon3

Nilarek at that moment sensed the power emanating from Keralin, it was unbelievably close. Did he notice me? He wondered. Either way, it's now my time.
Nilarek sent one last message to Rimfax, Very well, enjoy your prey. He lowered himself to the ground and started searching for Keralin and whoever he was fighting. Maybe he'd have somebody else to help distract the rest from helping Keralin.

Keralin fought the force for a moment then resigned himself to it. This was Eriel's fight, not his. Aelir however didn't listen and just before he was going to attack another dragon came and tackled him into the ground. Keralin turned around to see a bronze dragon rise from the crater that was Aelir, at that moment his sanity snapped. Attacking him was one thing, but attacking Aelir was something completely different. "Die!" He yelled, charging the new dragon. He didn't care about anything other than making that dragon pay for what he did to Aelir.

Nilarek walked out in time to see a bronze dragon tackle Aelir into the ground, Keralin screaming in rage at the dragon. Perfect! He thought to himself. He drew his sword and leapt into the fray, gathering his spirits at the same time.

Rimfax chuckled when Nilarek broke away from the pursuit and went to claim his true prize. Thank heavens. It'll be easier to destroy him when they are together. Rimfax was easily catching up with the smaller, weaker dragoness when out of the corner of his eye, he saw something: yellow, and very big, flying very fast toward their position. Oh no. Hey you! Shade! We got company!

Faefnir roared loudly and plunged into Rimfax. As he predicted, Rimfax went into his Dark Matter form and retreated. Then he angled toward Nilarek and stepped between him and Keralin. He roared loudly again. Step back!

OOC: Dah dah daaaah! Superman is here! lol

OOC: Hey! Wadya mean "easily catching up"?! Phal's a lot faster than that fatty, Rimfax!

(sorry, I'm a little hyper right now, go on Eriel!)

OOC: Here comes my evil character... Hm.... Alcioraell IS Eriel. Basically Eriel just surrendered control of her body to her evil counterpart.



IC:Eriel laughed, an evil glint rarely seen in her eyes showing. The power of her dark side melded with hers, her appearance changing, her looks less docile and more menacing, her right eye's colour giving way to red, black water droplets forming on it.
________________________________________________
Go on Alcioraell, he's all yours... Eriel whispered darkly.
________________________________________________
Her counterpart laughed and took control. Immediately, every form of magic around her dissipated... then was released in a crimson aura emanating evil from Alcioraell's chest.

The waves of darkness clashed onto the aura but couldn't break it.
Alcioraell grinned and stared at the man in the eye, the water droplets starting to move as he began to get caught in one of her illusions.

Emrhyst moaned and whimpered in pain as the battle for her mind began. Little did her rider know that by surrendering control of her body, she was leaving her dragon more open to her own darkness as well.

At the last moment, Phalynx feinted to one side and then darted to the other, out of Rimfax's reach. Suddenly, a glint of gold caught her eye. I was wondering when you'd show up! Phal called to her brother, smiling. She glanced back to see Rimfax dissipate into dark matter. Coward... Phal muttered.

She turned towards the others, finally in a position to help them. The situation's worse than I thought! Phal thought angrily, looking at the chaos the dark forces had caused. Phalynx decided to attack Frazer. The bronze dragon had violently attacked Aelir, and the charging Keralin would not be much of a match for him.

Phal dove at the dragon. Her speed was enough so that when she crashed into him he went flying and hit the ground. Phal had used the recoil of hitting him to bounce back and continue hovering. She felt a bit shaken, but knew that she had to continue fighting.

Come on, bronze! Dare to attack someone head-on?! Phalynx challenged, roaring. Her eyes began to glow with piercing gold light, illuminating the ground before her. To stare into her eyes would be blinding, and she knew it. Phal gazed into the bronze's eyes, trying to intimidate him.

OOC: Don't skip me if it gets to be my turn this week. I'm going to be in New York, but only until Sunday! Don't skip me!

Frazer, or the voice in his head glared at Phalynx Kill her Frazer. It shouldn't be too hard, she is only a hatchling. Come on let her blood drip from your claws. Then go back for the elf.
Yes master. replied Frazer not even trying to fight it back. He knew that he would be unsuccessful at trying to repel the spirit in his head.
Frazer flew into the air than dove at Phalynx. The voice in his head urging him onward.
Do you really think you can be defeat me? Even if my host dies I shall live. the voice said. Frazers eyes glowed red as the voice prepared to shot beams of energy from Frazer.

Crimson tried to repel the water. He used magic in an attempt to block it. "Clear the water." he said. Nothing happened he cursed himself of all the stupid things to fall for. ge said. At the same time he still focused on taking over Emrhyst's mind. Join me, get up kill the others here. he said.

Equinox flew into the air and saw Frazer. He glared at the bronze dragon, but then looked down. He saw Crimson fighting. He flew down towards his rider. His claws out ready to rip his rider into shreds.
Crimson looked up and dodged.
"So Equuinox, two on one."
Crimson looked back at Eriel he knew something odd happened, but he didn't know what. "Listen elf. You help me kill Equinox and I'll leave you and everyone else here alone." said Crimson.

Quasar, Eris, Galedrim, and Quasar looked for Equinox.

OOC:lol this is hard to peice together i hope i get it wright lol

Sekoree suddenly felt movments in the air whipping around him. In the distance he saw several dragons that seemed to be in combat. "what the?" He changed his direction aming directly at the dragons and quickly manuvered through the forest, jumping over obsticles. He could sense many minds all of them seemed to be relesing angry thoughts that he couldn't understand.

OOC: YES! My turn again!

Aelir coughed, his lungs closing involuntarily. He tasted a coppery liquid in his mouth. When he coughed again that liquid spilt onto the ground, covering it in red. My blood. He realised. He struggled to rise as his body sent waves of pain through his system.

"No Faefnir!" Keralin yelled, realising how blind he had been. "Leave him. This is my fight and I will show him just how powerful I am without his influence."
Nilarek laughed menacicingly. "Oh this should be fun."
"If those are your final words then DIE!" Keralin raised his right arm summoning blades of pure magic to attack Nilarek. "Blade storm!"
"Shadow blade storm!" Nilarek said in unision with Keralin, raising his right arm copying Keralin's manouver exactly. Blades of pure darkness appeared around Nilarek and went to attack Keralin.
Both Keralin and Nilarek ran at each other, taking out their swords while having their summoned blades fighting each other. Their swords collided with an explosion of sparks and energy.

Aelir managed to rise, pushing the pain to the side of his mind as best he could. I'll kill you for that! He said with nothing but hatred. He took off and collided with Frazer.

OOC: ILS you're up

OOC: I-L-S went on his trip... I just hope he can post something.

OOC: Oh... Okay then. I'll wait a day then post?

OOC: Wait another day, if he doesn't post then we'll control his character and move him away for the moment.

OOC: You guys can control Faefnir and Rimfax. Star, since you've known Faefnir for the longest, and you are the one closest to him, being his mate, I give you custody of both Faefnir and Rimfax until I return.

OOC: Star, your go

OOC: Dear Star Gazer, please go.

P.S. Hi!

OOC: Hold on... Star's not in this! =S caterpillar... I just held up the entire rp =O
Err... okay... so who's turn is it?

OOC: ... ...... ............ ....................... ..................................
Alright... As far as I can tell it is I-L-S's turn.....

Emrhyst whimpered, her rider was feeding her energy, but somehow, it felt dark, and the voice in her head wasn't helping much. It almost seemed pleasing but the dragoness held on.

Alcioraell let out a shrill laughed, her blade pointed towards Crimson. "You're a weak one you know? You need my help to kill these guys." She taunted, her ruby eyes set again, the droplets moving. She smiled as the elf got caught into another of her illusions.

Alcioraell looked at Crimson, a smirk on her face, she leaned against the elf, pressing her cheek against his then whispered, "Know this, the pain you feel not will not be fake, and neither will the wounds you sustain." She laughed and her tongue became a knife, slicing off Crimson's left ear.
OOC: Note all this is happening in his mind.

Equinox flew around as he saw a dark like creature that was more spirit come out of Frazer. It stared at him and he back at it. As much as Crimson does I wish for you to be dead. But my first priority is to get back my host.

Frazer roared in fury it was painful for the spirit to be forced out of him, but he was glad to have his own mind back. Frazer was about to leave when he noticed Equinox. He then looked back at the silver dragoness that helped him.
Thank you, but you shouldn't have done that. Like you said it will be back soon and it will want both of us under its control now. I must go, I don't want to have to kill any innocent people anymore. said Frazer. He tried to leave when the spirit turned away from the green dragon and went back into his head. He tried to force it out, but it was too strong.
You dare try and keep me out you will be punished. Frazer gave a roar of pain as the spirit attacked his mind. He cound't keep it out and the more he tried the more it hurt.
The spirit then turned toward the silver dragoness. He forced Frazer to attack her. He dived at her wanted to tear her limb from limb.

Crimson laughed. He knew something was with the elf it seemed different. Using a complex spell he disrupted the allusion. He blocked another sword stroke to his head. He put some magic to the ground generating an earthquake. The tremor made Alcioraell fall to the ground. Crimson sliced at her and put a gash in her side, but she blocked the rest of the blow.
"I do want these fools dead, but I need know help. Besides you are possessing the body of one of the them I want dead." said Crimson. He then did something unexpected, "If you wish you may kill them, all I want is the male green dragon. As for the female, I just need a slave dragon to send to my master. Shrukian and Thorn are not enough."

OOC: Xwon, your go.

OOC: Xwon, are you still in.

OOC: Sorry Xwon, but I want to keep this going.

Keralin and Nilarek fought with an untold fury, magic sparks and dark energy seemed to fight for their entire existance. like the two sides of a coin fighting over which will appear on top.
Both of them summoned their innermost power, fighting with a ferocity that seemed to shake the trees around them.
"Come on Keralin, is that the best you can do!?" Nilarek yelled with a smile on his face.
"Hardly!" Keralin yelled back, he brought his swords to bear and imbued his own body with unnatural strength and speed via the methods he had learned before falling to shadow. He knocked Nilarek's sword away from his body several times but Nilarek kept holding on and retaliating.
When Nilarek saw the fight turning in Keralin's favor he knew had to strengthen himself as well. "My turn!" Nilarek gathered his shadows and forced them to his will, making them enter his body.
"Too late!" Keralin said in fury. He put his left sword between Nilarek and his body then shoved the sword away, leaving Nilarek open to an attack. Keralin took the chance and thrust the sword in his right hand between his ribs where his heart was. The whole world seemed to stop for them at that moment.
Nilarek looked down at the sword sticking into his chest, disbelief running through him. He tried to breathe, yet nothing entered his lungs. A trickle of blood ran down his shirt and onto the ground, staining it forever. He looked into Keralin's eyes with fear, Keralin looking back with anger. Nilarek's look of fear then changed almost immediately to amusement.
"Come on Keralin, you think after all this time I would leave my heart in my chest where anyone could get to it?"
Keralin stared in disbelief, and pulled his sword out of Nilarek and took a few steps back.
"I'm a heartless monster, I thought you knew that."
"You may have moved your heart but you cannot be rid of it. You still need one to corrupt." Keralin said defiantly.
"Even so, you'll never find it!." Nilarek renewed his attack on Keralin, striking harder than ever.
Keralin's hopes were crushed but he knew that he could still be damaged when he was reforming. I'll just have to try harder. He thought.

Aelir intercepted Frazer as he dived for Phalynx, still angry at the previous attack. He tackled the dragon out of the sky, sending them both crashing to the ground beneath.

OOC: If you'd like me to change that dark, then I shall.

OOC: It's your turn, ILS.

Faefnir landed next to the dragon after directing his sister to safety. Your call, Aelir. I am following you, for this is your battle.

OOC: Short post, I know.
