OOC: I guess I'll join too, but this time with Gryfendel.

IC: Gryfendel growled as he spotted a group of soldiers attacking a few others, Ganging up so not nice. He roared loudly. The soldiers turned towards him, jaws dropping simultaneously. Gryfendel smiled a toothy grin at them and lunged, riding on the wind currents, neck outstretched to bite, tail up.

He then flew high above the clouds, ignoring the arrows being fired at him. His eyes turned silver and with a mere flap of his wings, he sent a gale hurtling towards the battalion, cutting leaves, bark and metal as he passed. Gryfendel groaned as he heard the screams of men, blood splattering his scales.

OCC: I'm going to join if you don't mind

What am I doing here? There are too many humans I should really go back. Thought Equinox. He looked down at the city and saw a small battle starting. Something struck his side and he saw archers firing at him and at something else. He flew higher to get out of range of the archers. He really wanted to flee but he wanted to help the people on the ground. Hoping it wouldn't be too risky he shot down a bolt of lightning at a solder. It did slightly more damage then he hoped because a nearby building got charred but it could have been worse.

OOC: I'll join this one too.

Faefnir flew slightly behind Equinox. Heeding his promise when they first met in Du Weldenvarden, Faefnir took Equinox to his desert stronghold and started teaching him how to control his power and protect him. Faefnir didn't like calling him an apprentice, but that's kind of what Equinox became. Not bad, Equinox. Just remember that if you want to hit a single target, focus on that one target. Don't let your attention be diverted by objects around it.

OOC: Red, you just went. You must wait for the others to post.

OOC: -Pass

OCC: Sorry if it wasn't my turn knowone posted in a while so i wasn't sure if it was my turn.

Equinox saw the reinforcements come in and he targeted them. He focused on one of the solders and blaster fire at him. The solder saw it coming and dodged. Dodging dragon fire i never thought I would see that happen. Thought Equinox who broke through the mans barrier. He flew down and blasted him with another jet of fire. Equinox flew back into the air as he noticed an arrow struck his left wing I got to stop being so careless. He thought.

Faefnir noticed this. It's alright. Just remove the arrow and heal yourself like I showed you.

OOC: Pass turn.

Yes ,master Said Equinox. Equinox quickly healed his wound and search for the archer who injured him. He flew back into the air and shocked an archer with lightning. He saw the pike men and shot streams of fire at them. He landed back on the ground and felt something hit his side. Blood dripped to the ground as a man carrying an axe swung at him again. He dodged and blasted fire at him "Protect me from fire!" shouted the man in the ancient language. Equinox stared in disbelief just how many magic users do they have with them. he though. He struck lightning at the man who just had time to say "Protect me from lightning!" in the ancient language.

Yes master. said Equinox. He grumbled to himself he had to be more careful if the mage would have used magic to attack him he could have been dead. But still he was glad his skills have improved I won't make that mistake again. He turned around and cut through a solders back. He picked up an enemy and flew off into the air. When he was about two hundred feet up he dropped the man to his death. He looked at the enemies it seamed that he and the others were outnumbered. He flamed a solder he tried to claw a solder in helf but the man struck him in the head. He healed himself but was attacked from behind. He flew into the air and struck both the enemies with lightning.

Equinox saw Reb fighting Leth but knew it was better then to help. He flew slightly higher into the air and shot lightning bolt after lightning bolt at the solders. He snarled as an arrow sliced right through his wing membrane. Blood dripped down below but he didn't bother healing it he flew behind the archer and clawed him in the head. Being trained by Faefnir made him a much better fighter than before. He glared down at the solders and sent more lightning after them. He flew down and caught a solder with his claw and through him into another. He growled in pain as a sword sliced right through is wing. Damn it I'll kill you for that. thought Equinox. He tried to kill the solder with his tail but he rolled under it. He managed to dodge a jet of fire so Equinox broke into the man's mind. Impressive my master would love to know that his dragon had became more powerful who trained you that over sized bag of scales.

You... you know Crimson where is he. demanded Equinox.
He works for Galbatorix but don't worry he is still at the capital. By the way try to enter his mind and he will control you. You filthy bag of scales along with that oversized lizard who trained you. that was to much for Equinox he could somewhat take insults to himself but not as well for others. He sent out a stream of fire that engulfed the solder. He picked up the corpse and tore it into pieces. He doubted what the man said was true about Crimson being with Galby but how did they meet?

Faefnir detected Equinox's distress after he killed another soldier. Equinox? What's wrong? What were you told?

OOC: Pass turn.

He... He told me that my rider Crimson, the one that abandoned me when I was a hatchling was alive. The solder said that Crimson had sided with Galbotorix he wanted to kill me also. And he insulted both of us. said Equinox he finally got that out but he didn't think anyone not even Faefnir knew how much he hated Crimson. Although they may be linked at the mind it would nothing if he didn't care for who he was linked to. In anger he shot out a bolt of lightning that flew right over Star Gazer and Shruikan.

OOC: Could I enter Crimson as an enemy or do I have to wait for the application to get excepted.

OOC: Strange. I thought Star was next. OK, pass. I think I'm waiting for Crimson to show up before I do anything major.

Eriel muttered a spell under her breath silently, smiling as ice surrounded her body, then brought her blade down on Leth's again, and before she could react, elbowed her in the neck then shot a ball of earth at her.
"What's the matter Leth, can't take a little dirt?" She laughed and swung again, this time making a mini tornado ply out of her blade trying her best to knock her off balance. Leth snarled at the elf and advanced, every fiber of her body now yet to killing the elf. Eriel felt a hand reach down towards her scar in pain and winced as the blade stabbed her abdomen. Leth drew it out ruthlessly, smirking at the elf. Eriel just glared at Leth, her eyes burning with anger. With a shout of anger that surprised Leth, Eriel jumped and just as he sword was about to impale Leth, Eriel threw her voice forwards, saying in the ancient language, "O lingering flame, surging barrier of the sea, distort the light around my foe, bind her in the rage that fuels her, cuff her legs, burn her arms." Eriel laughed as she saw the look on Leth's face. She looked at Reb. "She's all yours. Make it quick though, I can't hold her for long." Eriel said softly as she felt Leth already beginning to break through her spell.

OOC: Major god-mode. Sry. I'll edit it if you want.

In the distance a group of many elves marched toward the city the one in the front towered over the rest. His hair and eyes as dark as coal. His armor gleamed in the light of the sun. He was taller than everyone in the battle field except for the dragons. Crimson ordered his elven guard to split off and fight any enemy they saw. He focused his attention and the green dragon in the sky. "Bring the dragon to the ground." he said in the ancient language.

Equinox was headed at an enemy when he noticed his wings had stopped moving. He plummeted to ground and barely broke the fall. He saw Crimson approach him his sword drawn out.
"Equinox so you have finally gone into the open? I thought your past experiences have taught you not to mess with other races. Or do I have to beat that into you. And I'm assuming that golden bag of scales was your trainer. Once I kill you I think I'll make a suit or armor out of his hide and maybe the other dragons as well." said Crimson.
"How did... How did you get here." demanded Equinox.
""I will keep that to myself. But first I must ask you one thing will you really attack your rider. I can attack you without harm but you dragons are so dependent on your riders you can't live without us. So" he said the next part in the Ancient Language "Bow down to me."

OOC: -Pass

Equinox watched and Faefnir began to fight. He looked around to see if any more enemies were around but there were mainly only the possessed elves. He turned around and dove and Crimson. He was blocked and slashed across the chest.

Crimson laughed as he stopped the ice. "You are no match for me dragons." he said. He took the last amount of strength from dying solders next to him and from and animal in the area. He grabbed his sword and readied for attack. He knew even though he was taller than most creatures dragons were still larger and he didn't want to get ripped apart by Faefnir's teeth or claws. "Burst into flames." he said in the ancient language. He was amazed that the flames died away so quickly they shouls have burned him even if they didn't kill him. Crimson grabbed his sword and charged Faefnir making sure not to get slashed by his claws. "You are strong for nothing more than a pack mule." he said in the Ancient language "Winds of the sky form from the deep cast down your judgment and strike my enemy!"

Eriel looked at the possessed elves aghast. She couldn't fight her own people, especially those who did not have a choice. She shook those thoughts out of her mind and just stood on the plateau, sheathing her blade as she did so, standing motionless on it.

OOC:-Short

Crimson tried to stop Faefnir from piercing his mind. He started to stab back at it with his own conscious. Only one person who ever been able to stop him from mind control but that was merely by luck. The elf that did he stabbed through the chest. He continued to try and stop Faefnir from breaking into his mind. He decided that injuring him could help stop it. He ran around the dragon’s side and sliced his wing. He went for another blow but Faefnir hit Crimsons sword out of his hand with his claw. Crimson then tried to stop the dragon from getting into his mind but his resistance was failing. He tried one last thing "Why do you fight me dragon it is not you I want it is only Equinox I am after."

OCC: Sorry if making Faefnif knock Crimsons sword out was of his hand was too much player controlling I'll change it if you want me too.

OOC: Oh, that is perfectly alright. I don't mind.

Faefnir grunted and snarled as Crimson slit through his wing membrane with the long blade of his sword. But this didn't hinder or distract Faefnir in anyway, knowing that not much blood will be lost and a wing wound is easy to heal. Then Crimson tried to talk his way out of it. Humph. If you think I will be deceived by your lies, think again. I heard you very well. Something about turning me into a suit of armor? Well, I'll tell you something. You stay away from me or my apprentice, and when the time comes and he's ready, we will rid ourselves of you, you pathetic excuse of a Rider. Then Faefnir set forth the massive force of his mind and shattered the weakening defenses of Crimson and started to control him.

OOC: Pass Eriel is too shocked to move for this turn =P

Crimson tried to reset but he knew he was being overwhelmed. He looked around some of his elves were still fighting. He didn't care if they lived or died so began to retreat. "Brother come you are actually wrathful right now so you aren't dying." A second dark elf pulled out of the fighting and went to his brother.
"Listen dragon you may be more powerful then me now but I will eventually defeat you and kill Equinox." In the ancient language he said "Shadows engulf my body!" a large black ball f energy circled him and he dragged his brother into it. He knew Galby would be furious with him failing his mission but he had to retreat. The energy grew larger then vanished Crimson and his brother had disappeared.

Equinox was regretfully fighting a possessed elf. Then he noticed Crimson had vanished. He invaded the elf mind to break the mind control. He was quiet sure how but he tried attacking the part of its mind that seemed similar to Crimson's mind.

OOC: Really don't know what to say...

Equinox tried hard to get the elf out of mind control. It took him awhile but he eventually prevailed. The elf collapsed, but Equinox wasn't sure if that was because of his own inexperience at getting people out of mind control. Ne noticed the lack of enemies so focused on releasing the remaining elves.
