Kariana was carelessly gliding high above the trees, thoughtlessly scanning the canopy for any sign of a meal. Suddenly, a gust of wind hit her face, so she dropped into a dive to avoid any possible storm. As she got lower, a small movement on the forest floor caught her eye. Kariana became curious, and swooped silently down for a closer look.[/quote]

Ioksok swore there were so many thing the king didn't tell him when he was paid to scout out the local elven towns and citys. another dragon Fang watch out Ioksok said to his dragon. he triped and cought him self on a sapling before he fell down the hill.

Erais sensed trouble. She ran. She weaved in and out of a few trees. She then stopped and said coldly. "Ioksok, why are you here?"

Bane sits on the tree branches with his dragon some where hidden in the forest. He hears various things but never makes them out. He thinks to himself why couldnt i have sharper hearing then he repeats it to his dragon that only makes a small noise in his mind to notify him that he hears him. He looks around for any sign of anything but finds nothing.

"well I was um, looking for you" he said as he tryed to get back up but did not sucsed, "would you mind helping me" he asked. Erais helped him up, in a flash a adagger was at his throat "What have i ever done to you?" he asked with a smile.

"Ha ha very funny." Erais said.
She kept the dagger there.
"What do you need my help with." She asked the dagger started to draw blood.

Kariana spotted a flash of movement through the thick canopy. Her sharp eyesight allowed her to make out a few figures on the ground. She wondered if they had seen her, then folded her wings and dropped into a steep, fast dive.

Bane watched and waited to make his move on the two. Thought to himself, One is holding a dagger to the others throat. That definatley means they are not friends. but said nothing to his dragon.

Kariana spotted something in a tree as she neared the forest. Thinking it was some form of animal, she roared savagely, planning to grab it and make it her lunch. Talons out-streched, she swooped over the tree, but a huge creature snapped at her, and she rose again in shock.

A Emerald dragon swooped up and stoped the other dragon from getting at its rider and Bane lepted down to see what was with the other 2. When he was on the ground he yelled, "Who are you and what are you doing in Du Weldenvarden?!" He then Waited till there was an answer.


OOC: Pretty sure this is in past tense i think it is but not sure but i mean it to be in past tense.

OOC- yes, it is in the past tense, but Kariana is Amethyst, not Emerald!

OOC: but my dragon is Emerald and you said something snapped at you so i had my dragon snap at you and say the figure was Bane

OOC-Aahh, I see. But she doesn't have a rider.

My Bane was the rider i was talking about. He was what you were looking at and that is why Destroyer snapped at you all comes together like pie (i love pumpkin pie i hate apple pie dont ask me why)

OOC- got it. I wasn't thinking straight!
IC- Kariana retreated from the tree. She lost control of her flight after her surprise, and had to make an emergency landing. She veered towards the ground, preparing to fight if anything should happen. The wind rushed past her face, before she landed with a thump, and began to fold her wings.

Destroyer veered through the air right after the other dragon and landed right be side her. He said to her dont mess with my rider or you will end up being fly food and having fun in the after life. Then he flew to Bane and landed as close as he could.

Kariana eyed the dragon angrily.
Who is he to threaten me? She growled to herself, then strode up to them. The other dragon snarled, but she ignored him.
I don't know who you are, or what you want, but I mean you no harm. She told them grumpily.
Unless you are with the empire! She added hastily.

Destroyer said to her i would rather die then be with the empire. I also mean no harm but you were going for my rider and i can not let you kill him. Be careful next time you choose your prey.

Sorry! She replied, almost grinning.
I didn't know what you were! She relaxed a little.

OOC-Sorry for the short post, but I am rushing, and gotta go!

Ioksok grabed Erias's wrist and twisted the dagger fell from her hand with a thump, "That hurt you know, now i will tell you why im here as long as you don't try that agian." he said. He told her a story she bleived him. "So where is your dragon?, Fang has been wanting to see her you know"

Erais retrevied her dagger. A tear then rolled down her cheek.
"We were seperated in the beors. I haven't seen her since. With out her I am starting to go mad." She told Ioksok.
She then burst into tears and started to walk away. She was still a bit wary about him, but not by very much.

Ioksok followed her and put his arm around her "it will be ok" he said "Fang and i will help you look for her", they walked under the trees and talked about what has happend sense there last incounter.

Erais had stopped after he had put his arm around her.
"Thanks." She said smiling. "Wait..." She trailed off.
She sensed someone close.
"Do you feel that?" She asked.

"feel what?" he asked, as he looked around,
"i don't feel..." he starteed to say "What was that?, whos there answer me" he yelled.

Erais could feel three different forms around. She then closed her eyes for a moment.
"Over there." She whispeared while pointing to some bushs and a tree. "Two dragons I think and one rider." She said so low Ioksok could barely hear it.

"if they don't attack us we will leave them alone, just wait" he said looking around Fang get over here incase we need your help Ioksok said to fang.

"Okay." Erais said.
She made a move for her sword around her waist but Ioksok stopped her. So she just kept her hand on the hilt just incase they might attack. The quiet was killing her, and the horrible suspense.

"just keep walking" he said, both he and Erais were jumpy, one of the dragons came out of the trees, it was a green dragon the same color as the underbrush and blended in perictly, the rider on its back ask who they were, "anwser me this first who are you and who is you dragon?" he asked aloud

OOC: Ioksok, check spelling. Your posts are annoying me.

You guys mind if i join in a little bit? Or can someone work a dragonrider flying overhead then landing in somewhere (like a few posts down, I'm getting ready to eat really quick)

"I am Bane and this is my dragon, Destroyer. I come in peace as long as you are not with the Empire. If you are with the Empire, I will kill you now and get it over with." he said. He stood there and waited untill he was replied to.


OOC: Edited by me, Svit-kona. Check these things, please.

"Well Galbatorix would like me to be on his side but thats not happening." Erais said coldly.
She then walked over and stroked the dragons side. He seemed pleased with this. Erais was happy to be around dragons again. She still was sad, but this didn't drench her spirits.

Fang came out form behind the trees his massive red body barly fiting in the clearing, "Im not wiht the king eather" said Ioksok. Fang sniffed the other dragon, and let out a low growl. Then nuzzeled Erias.

Erais stroked him.
"Well its nice to see you. I am sure E..." She trailed off.
She then went over and sat on a log thinking. She knew it would take her forever to find Erador. After all Alagaesia was huge.

Ioksok looked at her, We will help you find her Fang told Erais, he hit Ioksok in the back of his head with his tail, "ow" he said looking at Fagn "of cource we will help find her" Ioksok said to Erais rubing the back of his head.

"I will surley not help you find your dragon. How do I not know you are lying to me. I trust no one and will never trust anyone." Bane had replied very rapidly. Just then Destroyer had hit him with his tail and said You really shouldn't be so mean. These people could be helpful allies against the king. Just think about it this way, you said you wanted to do more good deeds. Here is your chance to do a good deed. Bane had then said aloud, "I will go with you to help you find your dragon. I have no choice with a giant lizard on my case about good deeds." Destroyer had just puffed a bit of smoke.

Erais just then laughed at them. She thanked the dragons. She continued to laugh. It felt good to laugh again.
"Well I guess we should start looking in the Beors. We will need to leave Du Weldenvarden though." Erais said to them. She started to walk away in the direction of the sunsetting.

"Erias stop" called Ioksok, he ran to catch up with her " lets fly Fang can carry both of us, and it will go faster.". With in minuts Fang and Destryor were in the air and flying into the sunset.

It was a while until they saw a speck.
"Get down. It's the kings army. He can't see me." Erais said.
They landed.
"We can take them all out." She said.
She drew her sword ready to charge. Then out of no where.
Is that you Erais. Erais jumped up in excitement, she was about to burst with excitement.

"stop, we don't have to fight that would just slow us down, i can deal with them." Ioksok said as he walked down to the soldiers camp "stay here" he said to fang. Ioksok walked into the camp and to the comanders tent. "m'lord" the captin said as he walked in. "im in the company of a rider and his dragon act as if you see nothing when we fly over you tomarrow, is that clear, captin." asked ioksok, "yes sir" the captin said. Ioksok came back we are clear lets go befor they see us.

Bane had told them, "We cannot fight we must keep our presence a secret if we wish to live. If we kill them now the king will surely know and send more to this spot and search. They will kill us or take us to him." Destroyer had agreed with Bane but was not sure if the others did. He had then got off Destroyer and streched out his legs. Destroyer then had his back free and he layed down for a little rest.

OOC- I seem to have been forgotten again. However, I'm not giving up this time, so can I please just say that I'm with the group as well? After all, I did start this RP.

OOC: If many people are involved with a RP, its curtious to wait for them.

ooc-of cource, you did start it, just jump in.

While the three were flying towards the sunset, a small speck appeared on the sun. It grew larger and larger untill two wings were distinguishable. And soon it could be seen that it was a white dragon, with a rider on his back. Eventually, he met the group. He recognized Erais immediately, and also noticed Ioksok and Fang. The third dragon was alone, but it took him a moment to realize who it was. In his head, he laughed, Karianna! What are you doing here? Aloud, he said hello to erais and ioksok, and nodded to their dragons. After examining the group and noticing that there was no tension, he asked, "Where are you headed?"

Kariana grinned. She recognized Simoro and Ohen, she had met them a couple of times before.
Good to see you here! She replied.
Don't ask me what I'm doing here, I'm not sure myself! She laughed.
We're just hunting down a few urgals, she explained.
Maybe a shade or two. What brings you here? She questioned with growing curiosity.

I was just.. flying around, pretty much. Or to be more specific, flying away. Oromis... isn't happy that I have left his training permanently. He says he only wants to see me if i change my mind. So I left. A sad look crossed Siromo's face for a moment, though he quickly masked it with the emotionless look that elves used so often. The mental equivelant of sadness continued through the conversation with Karianna, however. He heard Ohen saying, Gleadr was not pleased with Oromis' reaction, but he wasn't pleased with our action either. So we were going to look for something to do. And it looks like we've found it.

"Well, well this day is just full of suprises. First i see these two then they pull me to look for a dragon. Now i have met yet another dragon rider. this day couldnt get any better. I dont even know if this is real. I swear i am in a dream." Bane had said when he had seen the new dragon rider. He had then opened destroyer's saddle and given him a piece of jerky.

OOC: sorry for the short post here, but i edited out the main points.
IC: Siromo looked at Bane and said, "So who are you? I don't belive we've met before."

OOC: i gave it to destroyer not you. i know elves dont eat meat sheees i am working with a bunch of monkeys

Erais then told them,
"We have to go soon." Erais stood up. "Or we will get caught."
She pointed through the tree's, she was the only one who could see the army of Kull about 10 miles away.

"I am Bane. Dragon rider, killer of urgals, and student of Ormis. I have long since passed his tests. I got stuck with these 2 and the dragons because Erais's dragon has gone missing. So who are you? I know we haven’t met before." Bane had said.

OOC: Da Charr Killer! Check your spelling!

"I am simly Siromo. or Simoro-elda if you prefer my elven name. I am simply another elven dragonrider, though I have yet to make a reputation. Or as many titles and honorifics as you claim." He slid down into the straps that held him on so that he was standing in them. Everyone thought he was going to jump, or die somehow. But he went into a graceful bow in mid-air and slid back onto his saddle.

Kariana looked around her wearily.
Well, now we all know who we are, maybe we can set off? She glanced at the sky. It didn't seem at all windy or cold, and she shuffled about, to find a more comfortable place to sit.
I need to hunt anyway, she explained
And we should be able to see more from up there. Kariana suggested.
Simoro, Ohen, will you be accompanying us? She asked.
With everyone else's permission of course. She hastily added.

"I am fine with it. As long as we leave in ten fifteen minutes." Erais said wearyly.
Erais started to rock on her feet. She then sat down and took deep breaths.
"If you are going to come. We have to leave now." Erais said.
She pointed through the trees. Now you could see black specks.

"Yeah i am fine with yet another elf coming with us. I do not like elves very much but they are very useful. Also another dragon will help even more." Bane had quickly said. Destroyer just said, glad to have you with us Siromo-elda. We would always be happy to have another dragon and dragon rider with us.

Kariana got up. She looked longingly at the sky, itching to get in the air again.
Great! She said.
Always good to have another companion! Well, I suppose we should be off now then. She pointed out, stretching her legs, to release the cramp from sitting down so long. She looked around her clawing the ground impatiently, leaving large gashes in the dirt.

"Well lets go." Erais said.
Everyone was ready to take flight. Erais saw there confused looks.
"No, don't worry. I will run on the ground." Erais said.
The dragons took off. Erais started to run. She was keeping pace with them. She lept into the tree's and was running across the tops.

Watching from the sky, Siromo was amaed at Erais' speed. She was easily as fast as any of the dragons, on foot. That could be very useful in battle. He was still unsure of the group, but he knew that Erais, even without Erador, and Kariana would never betray his trust. And he could sense from the brief moment that Destroyer had spoken to him that he meant no harm. So he flew along still amazed at the speed of Erais. Out of boredom, he tried to strike up a conversation. "There are so many riders now. We almost need another city to call our own. We cannot ride alone forever. We need an alliance, if nothing else."

Ioksok looked at the elf I don't trust him said fang with a hiss.
I dosn't matter who we are with if you want to see Erador agian said Ioksok, "I have been seeing a lot of dragons, and riders latley. They must sense some kind of change." HE yelled to be heard over the wind.

Kariana looked away. She knew she would never have, or desire a rider, and so distanced herself from the group. With a hint of sorrow, she realized that she could be the only wild dragon left, and a pang of desire shot through her chest, desire for more of her own kind. She glanced at the other dragons, bearing their riders, and felt the chilling breeze across her back.

Siromo sensed Kariana's sorrow also, and sighed. You won't be the only one. In ellesmera, there is constant talk of another land far away where there may be many dragons. And some of these newer dragons may lay eggs, and their riders won't know the spell to stop it from hatching. Ohen heard this, and added And anyway how bad can it be? All you lack is a permanent partner. And that means you can pick and choose a temporary one. Siromo didn't know how to take this, so he was silent for a while.

Kariana, are you okay. Erais asked.
She sensed the unease she had. Erais continued to run. She saw everyone lost in there own thoughts. She then lost herself in her thoughts.

Kariana looked at Simoro and Ohen, and smiled in thanks for their sympathy. She replied to Erias:
I'm fine, thanks for the concern though! She looked away across the huge forest, and sighed. Who knew what could be out there? There were so many places where anything could be hiding, and of course there was the lands across the sea. She herself had never been further than the island of Parlim, and a curiosity surged inside her.

Okay. Erais said.
She knew why she was uneasy, but hey it's not her buisness.
She then started to grow tired. She slowed down a bit. The trees then started to grow thin. Erais had to jump from tree to tree. She started getting extremly tired. She started to breath heavey.

Sensing a slight lull in Erais' breath, he thought for a moment, then said to Ohen, Would you mind if I offerered to put her up here, on you? Could you carry us both?
I don't care.. just keep you and her on. A slight amount of a dragons usual cautiousness drifted through with that message. Ohen flew closer to Erais. Siromo said, loud enough for Erais to here, "Want to jump on? We need a new challenge, and I'm light enough for Ohen to be riderless."

"Thanks." Erais said.
She jumped on grateful for no longer having to run. She breathed heavy for a minute, then she was breathing normal again.
I am very grateful. Thank you for letting me ride you. It just got so hard jumping from tree to tree. Erais told Ohen.

Ioksok looked over to see Siromo flying next to Erias, he snorted and turned his head. They flew on for another hour then stoped to make camp.
Ioksok started a fire, then went into the woods he made a makshift snare, and cought two rabbits.
He came troting back into camp with the rabbits hanging limp, tied to his belt. Ioksok sat down and pulled out his dagger, started skining the rabbits.[/i]

Erais watched the fire, obviously lost in thought. She didn't even pay attention to what was going on around her.
I don't know if I should trust Ioksok. He seems to 'I am a good guy now, you can trust me.' She thought to herself. She wasn't up to eating anything she was offered.
What if...Where's Erador when you need her. Erais sighed at what she was thinking.

In the past: Its fine. Its actually fun, with two riders. Ohen replied to Erais.
In the present:Siromo pulled a fruit off of a tree, and examined it with a close eye. He seemed satisfied and ate it swiftly, going for more. Ohen was hunting, and Siromo begin wondering what meat tasted like. But he dismissed the thought after considering what he would taste like on a dragon's plate. He looked at Erais; she seemed content in thought. He wondered if she missed Erador, and also what Erador was doing. He decided something then. In his mind, he asked, Where is Erador right now? We would be glad to help you find her.

Erais jumped a little when she was asked.
I don't know. That would be welcome. Erais replied.
She then lost herself in thought again. When everyone had gone to bed she still thought. She stood up and went to a lone tree. She climbed up it and thought more.

Once he was done skining the rabbits, He put a pot next to the fire on a flat rock Ioksok put some water in the pot and waited for it to boil. Ioksok cut one of the rabbits meat into picies for the stew.
The other he cut into long strips of meat, and set it out to dry.

OOC: Mental block.

Kariana settled down. Her stomach rumbled, and she decided to go hunting for herself. Slowly, she got up without a word and spread her wings. It was getting dark, so she knew most animals would be settling down for the night.
A perfect opportunity for dinner! She thought to herself. With a heave, she sprung off the ground, and lingered in the air for a split second, before driving her wings down to push herself high into the sky. As Kariana left the floor, the wind from her wings buffeted the plants below, and they flattened to the ground, as if cowering away from her.
