OOC:And....party started. XD

IC:
Amethyst membrane beat at the air steadily while the male dragon scanned at the horizon. He had gone off on another meditation trip with his grandfather and he felt like his essence had been cleansed, or at the very least calmed, by the presence of his kin.

Since returning he'd felt the need to reconvene with some of his friends and...he didn't know what. The feeling was urgent though, and in the past his instincts hadn't led him astray, so he went along for the ride. It was almost too easy now to reach out along the strings of gold that connected to all of his friends. He could do as he had with Phal a while ago and sent them all dreams, now he simply tugged gently to let them know he'd like them all to meet.

At least there was no need to hide while he settled in to wait for the first arrivals. Since the downfall of the king, his spies had mostly been snuffed out and erased. But Zeke had learned recently that when it seemed calm was the perfect time for plots to be thickened, alliances betrayed, and people killed.

He didn't have to worry about giving directions to his friends, at least, once he brushed against their string with an intention to meet, they'd know where to go. It was the least intrusive way he could contact them all from a distance, so it worked. If one of them didn't come for a certain amount of time though, like they were busy with other business, the pull would fade away after a few hours.

With a large yawn the amethyst male laid down his head on his paws and closed his inner lids with the intention to nap until he had company.

Savania let out a toothy yawn and laid her head back on her legs. She wanted to continue sleeping, but she felt Zeke reaching out for her. She sent back a friendly rumble and love toward him but decided it best to get off her scaly butt and go flying. She leapt into the sky and headed in the direction the call came from. For a time she watched the sun shine through her silvery membrane, appreciated the light that shone through.

It wasn't long until she found her mate resting on the ground. She smiled and swooped down, nearly face planting into him. With a grin she flew behind him and nibbled affectionately on his tail, only then noticing the others who joined them. Hello! She said cheerfully.

Equinox flew along toward the call. Zeke wanted to see him and honestly, he did too. It felt like years since he'd seen the other dragon and he need a break and time to see friends. Everything back home just felt so weird now and crowded with all the kids, Eris being weird didn't help matters either. He shook his head and continued his flight. It wasn't long until he reached the spot. He found Zeke sleeping, and though of shooting a small jolt of electricity into his tail for fun, but decided best not to when Savania startled nibbling on it.
Really, Savania? He glided down next to her. I think you've been hanging around that daughter of mine too much. He grinned.
Nah, Incendia's a lode of fun. Bit crazy though. Who does she get that from?
He gave a toothy grin. Her mother.

OOC: I'll add Quadar, Zeuk, and Nainocara later.

Wind rustled through tall grass, whispering past him in slow-building waves. Temias closed his eyes, letting the sound of moving air fill his being. He had been feeling uneasy lately… an internal peculiarity he could not shake. These quiet, isolated meditations seemed to be helping.

A low mumbling and scritching sound brought him out of his contemplation. One silver eye slitted open, moon-bright in the night-blue scales. His expression was not annoyed, though. Far from it. Since meeting up with her, a stronger measure of inner peace had been restored him. Having a traveling companion, especially one as cheerful and perpetually curious as Phalynx’s daughter, was much better than being alone. Although he had often kept to himself amongst his Tribe, being alone all the time had been wearing thin.

Na’ir was lost to her own little world, scribbling over her travel book with fresh notes and adding small sketches to the margins. As a dragon, this was no easy feat, but she had developed a practiced claw over the years (some would say too much… perhaps her writing was a bit cramped…) They had been exploring a region of plains where they had noticed some interesting ruins and she was taking notes now.

That was when she felt the pull.

Na’ir jerked upright, green eyes wide and at the same time meeting Temias’. It’s Zeke! I haven’t seen him in so long! she cried, hastily stuffing her book and writing utensils back in her side pouches and strapping them on in preparation. Temias was smiling softly, and she could see the eagerness in his eyes. He was better friends with the purple dragon than she was (she mostly knew him through her mother), so he must be practically itching to move out. Unlike her, he kept most of his emotional outbursts more contained, however. She had come to expect that.

Yes, it was. Shall we go to meet him? Or do you need more time? Temias replied, a little teasingly. The blue dragoness snorted in response, a faint flash of light rippling along her scales. Instead of replying, she bolted skyward, letting the backdrafts from her wings gust dust and dry grass in his face. He laughed and shot up after her.

It took them several hours, but eventually they found him lounging, several other familiar faces already clustered nearby. Temias took a long breath in happy anticipation. To be among so many of his own kind again would feel wonderful. He began to fly a wide arching circle around the gathered group, letting his wings flutter conspicuously in the wind in a manner which politely announced his arrival as a Tribe dragon would. Na’ir, after some hesitation, followed after him, seemingly deciding on etiquette rather than overenthusiasm this time.

OOC: Tem's color is a bit dark, apologies... I will make finding a slightly more conspicuous one my goal for tomorrow lol

EDIT: Found a new color for Tem that seems to stand out better

OOC:*Cracks my knuckles* let's do this. *starts typing like a maniac*

IC:
Among the first to disturb his nap was Raven and Oceanus. The male raised his head and warbled a greeting to the Pair, a smile across his muzzle. Hello you two. You look as mischievous as ever. he teased, a flare to his eyes as he watched the dragon and Rider approach from the air.

The next to come was his precious mate, although the way she arrived made him jump and swing his head around to study his tail to make sure it hadn't been mistaken by some predator as a chew toy. However his lit vision revealed nothing dangerous, except perhaps how her unique beauty and personality shone through his Sight and wrapped itself around his soul.

With a chuckle he reached out his muzzle for her, nuzzling her jaw tenderly as he hummed deeply from his chest. He was made to pull away, rather reluctantly, as another approached, Equinox this time. He dipped his head to the male and watched his mate converse for a moment until yet another presence was felt.

His head swung around until he found who it was and was pleased to see Elycon, Savania's sister. They'd met only a few times but hopefully this encounter would let him bond with the female a bit more, although he still had no idea what his instincts were trying to tell him. Zeke's smile met hers and he prummed softly. Good to see you Elycon. he told the female happily, the tip of his tail weaving back and forth.

And finally there were only two left to join this gathering, at least that he knew of for now. His ability to sense how close his friends were to his own location was limited. His eyes lit with a welcoming pulse as Temias drew closer, and he sensed one of Phal's children, Na'ir, along with the Tribe male as well.

He laughed and bugled again, his spirits lighter at seeing the dark blue Scout. It had been a while since they'd touched bases, despite the fact that they could contact each other whenever they wished thanks to Zeke's heart. Hey Tem, I see you have an escort to keep you out of trouble? Wait, what am I saying, Phal is Na'ir's mother... he trailed off and groaned in mock horror. Great Dragon help us, we're all doomed with you two in cahoots.

His eyes sparkled with his humor and he gestured for the dragon and dragoness to join them with a sweep of his wing as he chuckled. He was sure there would be more, and he hoped he also wasn't just being supremely paranoid in bringing all of these people together. But something was happening or going on behind the scenes, and it made his scales itch. Hopefully someone else here would feel it too. Even if he was wrong, he could still enjoy this for what it was; a reunion of some sort.

[color=#0Savania grinned as more came to join them, so many seemed to have met Zeke’s call. She’s stared curiously at Zeke for a moment then returned her gaze on all the others, a bunch of dragons, a were-cat, a half-elf, and another two-leg.

Her brow ridges raised with surprise to see her sister, Elycon arrive. She put her wing over her as well and embraced her sister. Nice to see you again as well! How have you been? At the sound of her name she turned to the two leg, giving a cheerful roar. I've been doing great! Trying to keep up with all the kids and this one here, but its all good. She smiled at Zeke and the others. She dipped down a bit to take a better look at Isabella. I can't believe its been so long. How is everything for you two?

She gestured around to the others and asked, Big party by the looks of it. Oh! This is my friend Equinox. These two are Nirexi. She motioned over to green dragon who dipped his head.

Nice to meet both of you.

With the introduction in order she turned to her mate. She watched him for a time and his reactions with all the fuss going around. She smiled. Any reason why you called us here?

Equinox nuzzled Elcyon's side. He grinned at her remark and again playfully nuzzled her. Someone has to put up with, you know? He grin sheepishly and said, Sorry I flew off without telling you. I didn't know how long you'd be out.

He laughed at Raven's remark. Too true I suppose. I'm trying to learn to behave myself though. To be fair, most of the mischief I've caused have been the result of other's doings. At the mention of his daughter he grinned again. She was always up to something it seemed. She was after all, the chief trouble maker of their family. Incendia is a bit reckless. She's told me a lot about you two, especially the adventure you guys had a while ago Anyway, how have you been?

His attention was caught by a large brown cat. He hadn't seen a werecat before, which oddly was strange to him with all the travels he'd been on. He glanced at it and to the unfamiliar dragons and said, I am Equinox, nice to meet you.

OOC:
Ack. T.t I also won't do the rebound thing just yet, so for now he just can't see Luka in depth like that. XD

IC:
Despite the itch under his scales he couldn't help a sense of content with so many of his family and friends nearby. Raven's playful jibe teased a pretend expression of dismay across his face until he snorted a plume of smoke toward the woman in a dragon's version of laughter. His attention was drawn toward the new arrivals, some he didn't know. A werecat perched atop a dragon. It was comical at first glance, and even at the second and third.

Zeke chuckled and inclined his head in welcome. None here are your enemy. he told them both kindly. His eyes lit out of instinct to get a better glimpse at them both, he had the choice to gaze upon them as others would instead of with his abilities. The werecat he gazed upon just fine, a fine tabby. But as soon as he tried to glance the dragon it was like his vision got blurred out.

His curiosity was piqued, but he still had enough attention to know when another Pair approached. His head swung around to see Isabella and Nirexi, and his smile became wide again. "Snacks are definitely welcome with how many we have here, I'm sure someone will want some. Thank you for taking the time. Pah, late. We're all friends here. No such thing as late among friends. he assured them both.

He allowed everyone to introduce themselves, content once more to sit back and watch as old and just made friends came together. His mate's query made him glance in her direction. His smile was affection toward her but he knew she'd be able to see the subtle edge to it. "You know me too well, dear heart. Soon. I want to make sure everyone that is coming is here first. Less confusion then. he murmured to her privately.

In the meantime the amethyst male found himself looking at the strange dragon again. Curiously he used his Sight to try for a deeper glimpse. Instead of feeling himself sinking into the essence of another being, he was hit with a solid stone and steel wall. At first he was dazed from the mental smack to the face. That had never happened before, at least not so...absolutely. Zeke shook himself and tried again a little stronger this time. He was blocked once more in the same manner, and now a slight headache thrummed at his temples. He snorted softly and raised his head. You're special. he told the dragon bluntly. I can't see you. The male shifted his wings.

Iz turned and glanced at the turnout of quite a sizable group. Most of whom she had met at some stage, in some battle or clash. She sends most a cheerful grin, but squints at the cheeky werecat. "Mm, improving, huh? I'm not certain you are as up to date as you seem to think, Ryker." She angled herself slightly in front of her friend, Raven and hardened her features, immediately feeling Nirexi tense a few feet away. Werecats were known for their general world knowledge, but personal things that this glorified cat was touting about. Unnatural, indeed.

Nirexi still looked at Zeke, chuckling with his deep rumble, Iz seems to think we are late every where we go. I think it is fitting. We draw less attention this way. He moved sniffing gently toward the new dragons, Oh no, did you say a daughter of Phalynx? He glanced toward his rider, and turned his heavy lid back to Na'ir, May the Great Dragons protect us. If you are anything like your mother... well we'll be involved in more than just some trouble. He moved a few feet closer to his rider and curled his tail around her, instantly snapping his eyes over to the werecat as she spoke to him.

Isabella turned again, back to her dear friend, Savania, "Oh You know, keeping Nirexi under wraps here is always tough. I have to fight every day to keep him from eating out the fields of Alagaesia." She sighed deeply, in jest, while still keeping her eyes tilted toward the werecat and his dragon companion. "And how are my dear little darling dragons? I miss the troublemakers terribly." She grinned, thinking of Tel in particular, the one she was closest to.
