Post The Land Without Rain
OOC: sorry, but I'm bored and I felt like making my own topic. Anyone's free to join-the more the merrier! :D

IC: The sun blazed high in the sky, while three lonely figures walk through the barren land. Every so often, there was a wind gust, which blew sand into the face of Dragonfly.
"Why of all places, do we have to come here?!" she complained, using her blue coat to shield her wings from the stinging sand. "There's not water period!"

Ohnyaeli hated when they were seperated from water, water being the thing they lived in harmony with.
"Well, we won't find any people trying to kill us out here," Ben said. He was a bit nervous about the coming night, since there was a full moon. It was one reason he had finally convinced Dragon to go to the desert.

Nicko, her dog, and strangly, Dragon were having fun, hiding from each other and running through the dunes. Dragon saw Ben just plodding along, looking an oasis.
"Do you really think there are oasises out here?" Dragon asked, "it would be really cool, 'cause there would be plants and everything." After saying this, she took off into the air, glad to be free from the ocean of sand. However, from the air, the desert still looked all the same-yellow sand, heat and dry air. The problem was with Dragonfly was that she was not made for deserts- her wings were drying out and soon she wouldn't be able to do all the cool stuff Ohnyaeli could.

But Dragon was in the desert for a reason. After searching the ocean for a long time, and finding nothing but trouble, she took to land, looking for the one thing that could change her life.

The other Ohnyaeli. The other egg that survived the massecre of her entire race. However, all Dragonfly had found were the fragments from a hatched egg and strange footprints. Visiting towns through the entire land she found, Dragon finally got what she wanted to hear-a tale of a strange creature with dragonfly wings. In the desert.

She came down from the air, and looked at her wings. She was lucky that she could fly at all-her wing were almost completely dried out. The heat wasn't helping either-it was a stifiling blanket lying over her, making it so they could barely breathe.
"Can we rest for a moment?" Ben pleaded. They'd been walking all day. Dragonfly was tired out, more from the lack of water than travelling. She could see Ben looking at her with concern, which made her really uncomfortable.But if they didn't find water soon....well, she didn't know how long she would survive. Or any of them.
"Yeah....lets..." Dragon muttered, trying to speak to Ben. I...need water. She thought. But that wasn't what she was trying to tell Ben. Oh no,She smelled the air and it smelled like desert and danger.
"Ben, danger." She managed to say before she collapsed. All she could hear was Nicko barking and Ben talking, shouting at someone. Then, a shadow fell over her.

Faefnir trudged behind her and used his wing to cover the sun for her. This is my dominion, young one. If you needed help, you should have just moved toward the mountains north and east of us. He pointed his claw in the proper direction, where Stronghold was clearly visible on the horizon. Navarre peeked out from behind his head. Who is that, father? Is that that Ohnyaeli girl you told me about? Yes, young one. This is Dragonfly, and she needs water. Why don't you test out your ice breath, then give her some relief? Navarre nodded her head vigorously, then tried her ice breath. It worked perfectly. Then she used it on Dragon's wings. The ice melted instantly in the heat and made the wings not as dry. Feel better, Ms. Dragonfly?

When a shadow fell over her, she hazily thought it was someone trying to kill her. You....idiot....desert's....doin' that....for you. Dragon said to herself.

But suddenly she fell a cool icy blast that felt like heaven to her. Dragon's wings started to take color again and she felt better. Not as good as in the ocean, but still alive.

Dragon opened her eyes and saw a two dragons standing over her. One of the was purple (I'm just guessing here) but the other was large, golden, and familiar.
Feel better, Dragonfly? She heard his voice and knew she wasn't mistaken.
"Faefnir!" She shouted, springing up from the ground. She ran forward and hugged him. Or rather, one of his legs. "It's really cool to see you!"

She stepped back and looked at them. "Were you the one with the ice breath?" she asked the smaller dragon. "Thanks a whole lot!"
Ben was smiling genuinely for the first time in a while. "Hey, Faefnir, how is everyone? And what are you doing here, of all places?"
Nicko was totally ecstatic. He ran up to Faefnir and licked him, then, with his tail wagging, investigating his companion.

"And who are you?" Dragonfly asked the new dragon.

Navarre. I'm Father's daughter. Well, first of all, this is my dominion. My home lies in those mountains just to the north of here. You can see it. And yes, Navarre was the one who iced your wings. We both can do it, but that was the first time she had ever used it.

Kerstov sees a group of figues up ahead as he continues walking in the burning heat of the desert. He tries to keep his hat on as the gusts of wind blow upon him. He continues at good effort to head towards the group of figures.

OOC: As much as I can do at the moment.

"Well then, thanks, Navarre," Dragon said to her. She looked at Faefnir. "I can kinda see why a dragon would like a place like this. Not my type, though as you can see.

"What was I saying?" As always, her bad memory struck again. Ben rolled his eyes. "Ask Faefnir about the other Ohnyaeli, stupid."

Dragon's eyes cleared. "Oh, yeah. Now I remember. As you know, I'm still searching for the other Ohnyaeli and I've been going all around asking for if anyones seen anything wierd. You know, like dragonfly-winged people. Stuff like that. They had some pretty weird stories, especially about dragons. Cuz they have all wierd stuff about how they're all powerful and everything and that there's an entire nation of dragons and stuff. Pretty cool, huh?"
She grinned at Faefnir, fully back to high spirits. "Anyway, someone finally had a story about a dragonfly-winged person in the desert. They just thought it was a joke, another thing people create to scare everyone-not that Ohnyaeli are that scary. I don't think I am. But anyway, I came here, but it's kinda hard looking in a desert if you don't know where to look. 'Cause everything looks the same, and I'm just looking for places where there could be water, 'cause I don't think there's anywhere else an Ohnyaeli could survive in a desert. Though why he or she would come to the desert, I don't know."
Dragonfly managed to rattle all of this off in less than half a minute. Ben was staring at her. "What?" she said.
He just shook his head. "I'm giving up on you."
Dragonfly shrugged then turned her icy blue-green gaze on Faefnir. "I know this is probably the fiftieth time but have you seen anything? Anything at all?"
Suddenly, Nicko began barking at something behind her. He only did that when someone unfamiliar is coming. She turned around and saw some random person walking towards them.
Another visitor in the middle of nowhere, she thought as she walked towards him. Or her. She sniffed the air, and, reckless as always, shouted, "Hi, person!!!"

OOC: I'll be loose this time around, but next time you join in an RP, Kerstov, make sure that it's longer. The mods would like all starting posts in RPs to be at least a paragraph long, so we can establish character and reason and what-not. And pass.

OOC: You know what. I don't even have to be RPing. Part of me is doing this just to make you happy. If your going to be doing what you just said. Why don't you be freaken PMing me then. You detail me stuff when it's way too late and then I am going to be getting in trouble. Just started and about to already freaken quit.

IC: Kerstov stopped and stared at the figure walking towards him. He thought, "Oh great, creepy friendly person." He also noticed a few dragon figures. He held the handle of his sword tightly with his left hand in case any of them was to be of threat. His stomach growled as he was too weak to fight from hunger. Yet, he was prepared, even if he was too weak. He raised his right hand and began waving and shouted "Hello there!" He was beginning to have bad thoughts about the strangers that was ahead.

Dragonfly kept walking toward the person, even though anyone with common sense would've said that she was crazy. After all, Dragon was really crazy. And very, very friendly.
When the person with the strange hat said, "Hello there!" she looked at him, curious. He seemed like a nice enough person. Except that he had a hand on his sword, like he didn't trust her or the dragons.

Mistrust was a new concept to her, because she was always very trusting in everyone she met. Unless they tried to kill her. That would qualify as bad.

Nicko stopped examining Navarre and started growling at the newcomer. For some reason, he didn't like this person.
"Hi," Dragon said, "my name is Dragonfly. Who're you?"
She could feel the dragons right behind her.
"Oh, and I forgot to ever tell you, the tracks that I saw leading away from the egg looked like this." Dragon traced a shape in the sand.
"Do you reconize anything like that?"

Post Re: The Land Without Rain
OOC: Don't get mad, Kerstov. I was being easy on you, and just telling you about next time. It's just a silly detail that the mods would like to see, but not neccessarily strictly stress.

Faefnir trudged behind Dragon, taking extra precaution with this man. He acted like a mercenary, which was the type of person Faefnir was accustomed to, being with Reb all the time. Faefnir stopped Dragon's approach and proceeded forward. Listen, Kerstov. I understand your upbringing and your profession. But you don't need to be armed with us. We are peaceful, and we mean you no harm unless you show us harm. Just relax and come with us. We're about to go to my home so we can find her kind that is left alive and quench their thirst. I must say, you look like you could use some nourishment and refreshment as well. Faefnir then lowered himself onto his belly. Hop on my back everyone. We'll get to Stronghold much faster by air. He regarded Kerstov with those soul-piercing blue eyes of his and invited him on with merely his gaze, almost as though he was saying "You can trust me."

OOC: Yeah, whatever. You already know how I feel about those things so don't even think about it being cooled off so easy. Try warning me about more details later on. And make it a freaken PM.


IC: Kerstov stood there in confusement at first. Then he stared at them and said, "If you are speaking about my previous profession, that was long ago. I don't do that anymore; so, clearly I don't have a profession as of now." He released his grip from his sword, but still stood in his place. "Besides, if I was to harm you I would have done so." he said with emotionless expression at Faefnir. He then looked at all of them and asked, "What is all of your names?" He glared at them as he waited for his answers.

Dragonfly looked in excitement at Faefnir. "You mean I can ride on a dragon? And meet the rest of your kind? Really? That's so awesome!!!! I'd fly but I'm not sure I'd make it or not."
Dragonfly was so excited. She just loved dragons. They were so beautiful and nice and trusting. And she was happy that Faefnir trusted her.

Unlike, the human, who seemed to call himself Kerstov. According to Faefnir. Still not trusting them, he asked for their names.
"I'm Ben, a werewolf." He spoke up for the first time in a while. "And our dog's name is Nicko."
Nicko was still growling at Kerstov and situated himself in from of Dragon and Ben, in case he had to protect them.
"And I'm Dragonfly," she said, showing him the full extent of her wings. "I'm an Ohnyaeli, if you've heard of them. We are-well, were an ocean people. And you can trust me."
She smiled at him, trying to get Kerstov to ease up.

The names that were said rang a bell in his mind. He then remembered that long ago that those same people were on a list. A list of people that he was suppose to kill. He looked at all of them and said, "You know what? I believe I've already heard of your names. Apparently all of you were on a kill list I had." He then smirked, "Good thing I don't hunt people anymore. I guess the all of you be in luck." He laughed a bit then calmed down. He looked around as if he was expecting something, then looked back at all of them. "You know there is like an oasis south-east of here, right?" he asked.

"Really? An oasis? With water and everything?" Dragon said.
Ben muttered to her.
"Oh, yeah. Um, why would we be on a list like that? I've never done anything wrong."
Dragon thought about that for a moment. Wierd. Things were just getting more and more stranger and none of this was getting them nearer to finding the other Ohnyaeli.
"You would be the one without luck if you tried to attack us." Ben said evenly to Kerstov. It was obvious neither Ben nor Nicko trusted him. Dragon really didn't care, but she was never one for common sense.
"And have you seen anything strange, say like a person with dragonfly wings?" she asked.

We were on a list to be exterminated because Galbatorix made us that way. He knows we are threat. Therefore, he put a price on our heads. It makes perfect sense. And Kerstov, when you mention that oasis, that is actually my stronghold. It is where we are headed. If you all could get on my back so my belly stops burning from this hot sand, we can get you all healthy again.

Kerstov smiled as Faefnir said that his belly was burning from the sand. "I've heard you can use ice breath I believe. Couldn't you have just done that so your belly wouldn't burn? he asked. Kerstov headed over to Faefnir and hopped up on top of him. He looked at the others a bit cautiously. "You don't plan on killing me, do you?" he asked curiously.

Dragonfly stared. "Hey, someone thinks I'm important!" she said, concentrating on the totally wrong part of Faefnir's message. Finallly, Kerstov got on.
"You don't plan on killing me, do you?" he asked.
"Na," Dragon said brightly. "I'm thinking that both of them-" she waved a hand at Ben and Nicko "-will lighten up after a bit."
Dragon hopped on Faefnir's back. "You don't mind, do you? I'm just worried my wings will dry out before I get to your stronghold and I'll fall out of the sky."
Ben was looking at the sky. She looked up, seeing it was dark out and later than she thought. However, when she saw the moon, her eyes widened in horror.

"Oh no," she whispered. Nicko was backing up from Ben w/ his tail between the legs. Ben crouched over, then cried out. Again and again. He grew larger and hairer, until he was almost as 10 feet tall.
"Ben's a werewolf," Dragon whispered to Kerstov as Ben howled at the full moon.

Post Re: The Land Without Rain
OOC: Wow, that's a big werewolf. You do realize that Faefnir's about 100 feet tall? He is, after all, 100 thousand years old.

Faefnir turned to face Ben. He was prone for battle, but then he realized that maybe, just maybe, there was a bit of the human Ben left in this monstrous form. Perhaps he won't decide to attack! Faefnir relaxed a little bit, then approached. Ben? Are you alright? Are you OK, Ben? Faefnir recoiled when the werewolf snarled at him and slashed at his nose. He quickly iced the body of Ben in the hope that Ben will not be able to break free. Then Faefnir grabbed the ice slab encasing Ben, who was struggling to break free, with his claws and awkwardly took flight, making sure that he grabbed onto Nicko with his free hand and lightly holding him so as not to crush the little dog. Dragon, will that ice be able to hold him until we can get to Stronghold?

OOC: Sorry about the GM.

Kerstov stared at Ben then said, "You know? I remember during my sailing days, someone on our ship was a werewolf. She didn't tell us either. Sadly, we had to kill her. We couldn't keeper her alive otherwise everyone would have been slaughtered on the ship." He examined Ben as he was encased in the ice slab. He then added, "I do not plan to kill Bennie; though, it wouldn't be such a bad idea to have a good fight nor a good meal." He laughed a bit. "I've eaten just about any animal. Ranging from humans, elves, werewolves, dragon and so forth. You may think I am a sick person, but you havn't lived my life," he said seriously.


OOC: Wait, hold on. I said there was an Oasis South-east of the position. And you said the stronghold was north yet you said it is what I saw. That makes entirely no sense at all.


Edit at 6:31pm march 6: I'm not even being able to think straight for my RP. I can barely control my real life and now I can't even control a freaken life in an RP.

OOC: :oops: lets pertend that never happened. (I was sort of going by the scale of the dragons where my character comes from.)

IC: Dragonfly wasn't scared when Ben transformed-she'd seen it before-but worried that Kerstov might try to kill him.
"I'm not sure. He's really strong. Please don't hurt him!" Dragonfly was looking over at the ice slab. Nicko was howling.

She listened to what Kerstov said, and suddenly bristled. She could see why Nicko didn't like him at all. Dragon turned around suddenly and grabbed Kerstov by the collar, suddenly furious. And when an Ohnyaeli is mad, its not good.
"Ben won't attack me or Faefnir because we are his friends. And he doesn't just murder people. Ben tries as hard as he can to control the transformation. And if you ever say anything like that again, I'll rip you into peices. And I don't care about what kind of life you lived, or how tough you think you are. You'll have to get through me."
She snarled at him, showing him her sharp teeth. Having an Ohnyaeli as an enemy wasn't good. Dragon just hoped he'd realize that. Dragon released him then jumped off of Faefnir, just wanting to fly. She flew down to where Ben was struggling to break free of the ice.
"Ben listen to me," she whispered. He stopped moving around and stared at her.
"We're your friends, just remember that." Dragon looked at him with eyes that seemed older than she ever was. Ben howled wildly, painfully. Having a soft heart, Dragon could barely stand to hear him. Finally, Faefnir had touched down outside the stronghold, and Ben broke free of the ice. He came up to Dragon, who petted him on the snout, then he ran off into the desert. On top of a sand dune, he howled one last time. It was filled with loneliness and despair.

Then he dissapeared into the night. Dragon watched him go, a single dragon tear falling down her face.

OOC: Oh, I misread that Kerstov. I apologize. And pass turn.

Watched Ben run into the desert night, then he closed and locked the gates. Now, what are you two thirsty for? Water, I would imagine.

OC: What I've previously done in the RP I would not like to be added to any other RP. Reason why is that I did not intend to have most of that added to the RP at all. It was in the wrong situation 100%. And apparently going back and changing the RP storyline would just be too much of trouble. So, therefore I cannot change it. It was basically this part that I didn't want in there.
Quote:
He examined Ben as he was encased in the ice slab. He then added, "I do not plan to kill Bennie; though, it wouldn't be such a bad idea to have a good fight nor a good meal." He laughed a bit. "I've eaten just about any animal. Ranging from humans, elves, werewolves, dragon and so forth. You may think I am a sick person, but you havn't lived my life," he said seriously.
It is also that my past three weeks have been extremely bad for me so my thoughts are not straight at all. And sicne I already started in the RPs I cannot stop.

IC: Watched Ben run off and said, "We expect him to come back, yes?" he asked. "By the way, Faefnir, I am not thirsty for anything right now." he added.

Pass Turn

OOC: No problem! Its okay. Just pretend that Dragon didn't yell at your character. :D

IC: "Yeah, he'll come back here when dawn breaks. Ben won't go that far away." Dragon said in response to Kerstov. At least, she hoped so. It was really sad sometimes, seeing how much this hurt him. But Ben seemed to like being a werewolf, so Dragon decided to stay on the light of things again.

The fortress was pretty cool-she didn't know that there was such a large mountain in a desert. But there are plenty of things I don't know. she thought happily.
"Do you have any water?" Dragon asked Faefnir. "I think my wings are drying out again. Ohnyaeli are not made for the desert."
Nicko ran up to her, freaked out from his unintended flight. He was whining, trying to stay as far from Faefnir as possible. Dragonfly reached down and stroked his ears. Nicko finally calmed down, and started to chew on Kerstov's shoes.
Dragon smiled. Nicko must have finally gotten used to him. But still, she was extremely impatient, and wanted to search for the Ohnyaeli. But it was nighttime-she'd have to wait.

Suddenly, she felt something brush against her mind. It was a sort of contact, almost like when she talked to Faefnir. And it was familiar...the other Ohnyaeli! That must be it-only Ohnyaeli can talk to other Ohnyaeli with their minds. And for some strange reason, dragons.
Dragon closed her eyes. This was no dragon, and he was here....close. Where are you?

So....close.....need...help....
Dragon's eyes flew open. "He needs help!"

"Well," Kerstov said, "she would be speaking of the other Ohnyaeli of course. I don't believe she would be thinking of any other being." Kerstov knew it had to be the other Ohnyaeli. "I almost forgot. I believe I saw a figure out in the desert as I was on my adventure in the desert. I lost sight of it due to the troublesome sandstorms," he added.

"Really?" Dragon's eyes lit up when she heard what Kerstov had said. "We hafta go now!" she exclaimed. Dragon had come this far-she wasn't going to let it go now.
The connection solidified again.

The desert....is too hot. And they are chasing me....
"He's in trouble and we have to help him now!" Dragonfly started striding toward the exit, not caring that she was feeling weak from lack of water.

OOC: Please approve my character soon!!

OOC: Well, maybe you could start with helping us leave and help search for the other character. That would help do something because it would just be an entire streak of "Pass turns" or long delays of posts of nothing happening. Atleast try and think of something. When people pass on me it makes it a bit difficult to do something else.

OOC: Yeah, I know. I do plan on doing that, but not until we know what exactly is happening to the other Ohnyaeli. He has been accepted now, so we should expect a post from Jayde by tomorrow, if she comes on.

OOC:speak of the devil....no jk. Finally! Chris got accepted. Here we go.

IC:Chris was trying to run through the sand as fast as he could. I wasn't made for the desert,he thought, echoing the same thought Dragonfly had earlier. His wings, shimmering blue, but tipped with black, were all dried out from the dry air and sun. Chris knew he couldn't run much longer. The only reason he'd been able to get this far is that Chris was being chased.
By slavers.

They always hung out in the desert, but Chris had never really cared about that. Now he was paying for it. He briefly thought about slowing time down, but that idea was trashed. He was too exhausted to hold it for very long.
Chris collapsed on the side of a sand dune, too tired to go on from there.
"Looks like I'll just have to fight my way out," he muttered, smiling to himself. He set his guitar down where it wouldn't be harmed and stood his ground. He smelled the air, and knew the slavers were almost on him.
"All this time I've been searching for the other Ohnyaeli, and she's right under my nose." Chris grinned. "Let's just hope she hears me."

Chris concentrated and sent out a thought. Then, the slavers broke the top of a sand dune. "There he is!" The entire group rushed down and surrounded him.
"If you even try to resist, we'll put so many arrows through you, you'll look like a pincushion!" The leader of them said.
"Resist? I would'nt dream off it!" Chris said innocently, staring at them with his blue-green eyes. The slavers started to come towards him. When they saw he was just a kid, they rushed forward.
Chris grinned crazily and threw one of his curved throwing knives, or rather, as he called it, a boomerang. (lol) It slit one mans throat and flew back to him. Chris felt a bit squeamish about actually killing something-and the blood-but figured since these people were slavers, they didn't deserve to live.

He drew out his two short obsidian blades and swung them towards the nearest slaver and disarmed him. He ran away. Chris then swung around, and decapitated another sneaking up behind him, using that force of the swing to dodge a swordblade. He parried the blade from another, struck backwards, killing one, then bringing it forward again and stabbing him in the chest.
The slavers backed up, not expecting him to be this good a fighter. Four of them were already dead, one of them ran away. An archer fired an arrow, but quicker than an elf, Chris dodged and threw another boomerang at him, killing the man. Chris shuddered at the bodies and smell of blood, but when the leader lunged at him, he quickly forgot.


Dragonfly's eyes sprang open again. "He's really close and I've got to help him!" She walked up to Faefnir.
"He's being attacked by slavers, and you'll know what will happen if they capture him."
The room was starting to flow in circles, but Dragon stood steady. She started running for the entrance again.
Nicko bounded happily after her. I'm coming. she said back to him.


However, Chris was fighting for his life. The leader of the slavers knew what he was doing. He lunged for Chris, who dodged and tried to swing at his unprotected ribs. However, the leader stepped back, parried his blade, and managed to give Chris a huge scratch on his arm.
"Ow," he gasped as he hugged the injured limb close to himself. Silver blood was leaking out and dripping on the sand. Chris used the other blade to unexpectedly lunge at the leader and graze him.
"Surely you can do better than that," he jeered. Chris was tired and just plain annoyed. He parried back and forth with the leader, then spun around and struck at his back. The unexpected blow pushed him forward, but the leader recovered quickly and forced his sword against Chris', pushing the Ohnyaeli to the ground.
"You don't weigh nothing!" the leader said in suprise. Chris just swung his feet around, tripping him, then rolled to his feet. Chris stabbed his blade into the leaders leg. The leader stared in suprise. He couldn't believe a kid did this. Getting very angry, he lunged for Chris again, who parried, spun around, and cut him again. Then, with some trouble due to his injured arm, Chris drove his blade into the ground using that to flip over and land behind him. He spun slashing the leaders back.

Unfortunately, Chris couldn't keep track of everything. Another archer, seeing his leader in trouble, fired and arrow, and struck Chris in his side, cracking a few ribs. The force of it, knocked Chris to the ground. He stayed there, looking at the moon, too exhausted to continue. The world faded away.

OCC: Sorry its so long, but I get carried away with fight scenes sometimes. :lol:

OC: It wouldn't exactly matter what is happening to the other Ohnyaeli, because you would be searching for him. I'm pretty sure leaving a place and beginning a search is a one way thing. I don't think there are zero ways to do a simple search. More about 1. And Jayde, it was still my turn and you kinda just skipped over me. I didn't pass. I was telling I.L.S. that it is possible to do something and yet it still won't do anything; so, I didn't really make it a pass at all. We can just say this thing I do can be before you posted that.


IC: Kerstov turned himself towards the exit and walked towards it and stopped before exiting and turned to Faefnir. He looked at him and said, "Well, if you arn't going to do anything then I will!" He turned back around and exited. He began running into the desert; heading towards the direction that where he last saw the figure.

OOC: Oooo, that makes the RP even more interesting.

Faefnir soaked in Dragon's information, then saw Kerstov leave. Wait! Kerstov, that werewolf is still out there! Faefnir started runnign after him, swiftly and smoothly grabbing Dragon and Nicko and flipping them onto his back. Faefnir quickly caught up with Kerstov and grabbed him and flipped him onto his back. We are going to look for them. Dragon, can you find out where he is?

OC: Chris being chased by slavers was really obvious before it ever being mentioned. You look at the clues before Chris was officially in the RP.

IC: "And as Dragonfly has said, 'Ben will not hurt us. For we are his friends and he does his best not to attack us.'" Kerstov rolled his eyes when Faefnir grabbed him up. Kerstov then tapped Faefnir's shoulder and pointed south-east of the exit of home and siad, "Chris be far over the dunes; south-east of here. I know my bearings, trust me."

Dragonfly yelped as Faefnir scooped her up. "Could you at least give me some warning before you do that?!" she yelled. Faefnir gave no answer, but just flew on. Somehow, Kerstov pointed out the direction.
"How did you know?" Dragon asked curious.

All of a sudden, she felt a stinging pain across her back, shared through her partial link. They must be punishing him, Dragon thought as she doubled over.
The dry air, even at night, still burned. She and whoever this was were far from their natural home. Out here, in the land without rain, they were powerless.
"You got to get there," Dragon muttered through gritted teeth. "Now!"
I'm coming, she whispered to the other Ohnyaeli.


Chris opened his eyes weakly, only to look at the unfriendly gaze of the slavers. He noticed his wings were fully spread. Even though they were all dried out, they were still impressive. Oh wonderful. Chris rolled his eyes.
"Wasn't Galbatorix lookin' for people with wings like these?" One of the slavers asked.
Another grinned. "We could make a fortune with this one."
Chris tried to get up, but found he was too weak. And his ribs really, really hurt. So did his arm.
The leader of the slavers limped up to him. "You are going to pay for this," he snarled, pointing at his injured leg. Chris grinned.
"Hurt you, didn't I?"
It was definitely the wrong thing to say. Two of his other men grabbed Chris and yanked him off the ground. The leader grabbed a whip from someone's belt.
Somehow, I knew this was gonna happen. he thought as it cracked out.
It traced a line of hot pain across his back. He didn't cry out at all, but it took an effort. At least it isn't my wings, he thought hazily, as the leader struck him again.

I'm coming.
A voice rang through his head. It had to be the other Ohnyaeli. Chris looked wildly around. Nothing. Nothing yet. But, he hoped she wouldn't come alone, for if they captured him they could easily overpower her. Especially in a desert.
The blows kept coming, until finally, mercifully they stopped. Chris collapsed to the ground, his silver blood leaking into the sand. Suddenly, from somewhere above him, came the sound of a wolf howling. Then a bunch of people shouting.
Using his last strength, Chris raised his head and saw, of all things, a werewolf attacking the slavers. Chris slumped back to the ground.

Faefnir nodded his head and angled his body in that direction. Then he increased his flight speed until he heard a wolf howling. It's Ben! We have to get there, he may hurt someone we don't want hurt! This sudden sense of urgency made Faefnir flap his wings harder than ever before until he saw below a group of slavers, an amazingly large wolf, and another being with wings. That's him! The other Ohnyaeli! Faefnir didn't bother to circle downward, he just skip landed right in between Ben and Chris. Then he pulled out of his saddle bag a crude sword. Not fancy, but sharp and suitable for batte. He gave this to Kerstov from his back. I think you'll need this, Kerstov. Then Faefnir and started driving the slavers away, along with making sure Ben didn't charge Dragon or Chris.

Kerstov stared at Faefnir as he was given a sword that was pointless to him. He looked at him and said, "You must be joking!" He pulled out his longsword and rushed at the slavers. He ran into one that also had a sword and began a sword-fight with him. Kerstov quickly pulled out a dagger and threw it into the slaver's chest. He then saw Ben and Faefnir chasing off all the other slavers and thought This be no fun with no challenge at hand. He went over to Chris and picked him up. He carried him away from danger and set him down on the ground gently. He pulled out a cantine of water and poored a bit of it on Chris' face. "Hey! Wake up! Are you OK?" he asked him and waited for an answer.

Chris felt something splash on to his face, and his eyes shot open. He jolted upwards, seeing someone over him, but it sent pain throughout his body.
"Ow," Chris gasped and lay back down. He couldn't regenerate with his wings like this. "Who are you?"
There was a strange person there. And.....Chris sniffed the air. A dragon?
He looked over to the side, and there was the largest-and only-dragon he had ever seen. Farther on, he could see a werewolf chasing off the slavers. Chris grinned as he saw the dragon fling the leader about 10 feet.

"Where's the other?" he asked, not seeing her around.
Who...are you?


Dragon fell off of Faefnir when he crashed into the sand. Jumping back up, she looked around and saw most of the slavers were being chased by Faefnir and Ben. The latter was howling and doing his best to keep all of them away from Dragon. Even as a werewolf, he tried to protect her.
All of a sudden, a sweep from Faefnir's tail knocked her away and made her unintentionally fly straight into the leader. Dragon crashed into him, the force of her motion knocking him over.
"Another one?" he said in suprise, then smiled. He could imagine how much money he could make on both of them.
Dragon rolled off of him, trying to regain her breath. But when she saw the leader come to his feet and draw his sword, Dragon scrambled up and whipped out her two short blades.
"You don't want to fight with me," Dragonfly warned him," I'm just as good as my friend."
Of course, Dragon didn't know that Chris was her twin.
The leader laughed. "You're just a girl."
Dragonfly fainted sideways, then spun around and disarmed him. She raised the point of one of her blades to his throat.
"What does it matter?" She smiled then reversed her blade. She was going to knock him out, but the leader quickly drew out a dagger and stabbed her in the heart.

OOC: Dragonfly has two hearts.

Faefnir's eyes widened as he saw the leader he had flung stab Dragon in the heart. No! Kerstov, take care of Chris, please, and make sure Ben doesn't hurt anyone. Faefnir jumped over to the leader and roared. As the leader turned to see what had done that, he saw Faefnir's humungous head right in his face. Then Faefnir froze him with his ice breath while the leader was fixated by his deep blue eyes. After the leader was incapacitated, Faefnir saw to Dragon. Dragon? Dragon? Are you alright?

Dragon fell over as a blast of ice flew over her head. She hoped it was from Faefnir, and it was directed at the leader. Judging that she was no longer being attacked, it was most likely what had happened.

Unfortunately, Dragonfly had gotten stabbed in the heart. She couldn't breathe properly-her chest felt like an entire dragon was sitting on it. She heard Faefnir come up to her.
"Oh, I'm all right, you big lizard," she gasped, "I just got stabbed in the heart, thank you very much."
Dragon spread her wings fully, but they were too dried out to regenerate. "How do you people survive with only one heart?!" she shouted as she tried to stand up. It felt as though someone had driven a stake into her side. Which is exactly what had happened.

Are you okay?she heard the other Ohnyaeli shout.
"I need water," Dragonfly said through gritted teeth, "to regenerate."

Chris felt a shock of pain through his already damaged ribs as the other Ohnyaeli got stabbed in the heart. Oh no, he thought, almost panicking. I'm not just gonna travel all this way just to have her die!
I'm okay, I just need water,she sent back.
Chris concentrated deeply, more than he had ever done before. If they were both to heal they needed water. But where was he to find it in a land without rain?
Deep in the ground.
Chris reached deep and tugged on the water, pulling it up from deep within. All Ohnyaeli were skilled with water magic-it was a given for their race. Chris grinned as he felt the water break the surface and well up under his wings.
Suddenly, suprising the person guarding over him, he started to glow brightly. Soon, all his injuries were healed and he sprang up off the sand and ran off towards the giant golden dragon.

Dragonfly felt the water, and she tasted it. Her wings started to glow again and she regenerated. Looking up, she saw the other Ohnyaeli coming towards her. He looked exactly like she pictured in all her dreams. Just this time it was real.
She smiled, kind of shy, and walked forward. Dragon was suprised how much he looked like her-she guessed they must've been twins.
Dragon clasped his hands in her, leaning her head forward to touch his. Their wings lightly brushed against each other.*
"Chris," Dragon said, smiled.

He grinned. "Hey, Dragonfly."

OOC: *this is the traditional greeting/goodbye among the Ohnyaeli.

Faefnir grinned as the last two Ohnyaeli in existance embraced each, then joined Kerstov. He sighed. It's amazing what the power of true love can do to a person. I remember before I met Star gazer, I was such a hardened individual. But now, she's made me soft. What about you, Kerstov? Did you have any family, or did you just spend too much time on that ship of yours? Then Faefnir chuckled and awaited Kerstov's answer.

Kerstov stared at Chris. "You know? I had water with me. I could have just easily gave Dragonfly water. But, you do it your way and I will do mine." he said to Chris a bit confused. He heard Faefnir's question and asnwered, "I've had family; mother and a father. I fell overboard one day and was lost at sea. Since then, I'ev searched for them but never found them." He then added, "Now if you are speaking about love to another or something like that, no. I am to not be in a deep relationship as of that." He held up his right hand, showing the blank on the bracelet. Then he pointed at it. "This," he said," this is for a special someone. Maybe as to the closest friendship of existence, but who knows." He lowered his right hand to his side and then pointed at his eye, then pointing it at Faefnir. "I will be keeping an eye on you, Faefnir, my friend." He smirked at him. He wanted to see if Faefnir could find a clue to what he was speaking of.

Chris was really happy. He had finally found the other Ohnyaeli, and she was still alive. Chris could tell that Dragon was having similar thoughts.
Well, we are twins. he thought to himself.
"Hey, I need to get my guitar," he suddenly remembered, and started walking off towards the dune that he set it by.


"A guitar? What's that? And where have you been? Why haven't I found you earlier?" Dragonfly had so many questions to ask him, she didn't know what to say first. She followed behind Chris, with his orange streaked hair.
Of course, she was too eager to tell him about her story and Atlantis to let him answer.
"You'll never guess what happened to me...." Dragon took a huge breath and launched straight into her story, talking almost literally a mile a minute. Of course, that's when Nicko had to come bounding up. He had been running all night to catch up with Faefnir. Now he came up to Dragon and Chris wagging his tail like a maniac.
"Nicko!" she exclaimed and hugged her dog around the neck. "Nicko, this is Chris, the other Ohnyaeli."
Nicko was so excited that he jumped on the other Ohnyaeli.
"Down, Nicko!" Dragon said, laughing.

Chris laughed as the dog, Nicko, jumped on him and started to lick his face. He finally got off, and settled for chewing on Chris' shoes.
Chris used his mental link to share what had happened, since he knew it would take several hours to tell.
"You really saw Atlantis? That's so cool! I want to go visit it. It sounds really pretty."

Even with the mental link, it would still take awhile to tell each other all their stories. So, Dragon contented herself with telling all about Atlantis.
"I even almost died there!" she said, "and I helped to stop the dragons from completely dying out!"
Chris had run over to his guitar and picked it up. He strummed the strings a couple times. "Sweet, its still tuned!"
He turned back to Dragon. "That sounds awesome! But we'd better get back to Faefnir and everything."
I wonder where Ben is. she randomly thought to herself, but brushed it away. Prob'ly not that important. She shrugged it off.
"Hey wait up!" she yelled and ran up to Chris. They walk for a little while, until they could see Faefnir and Kerstov.
Dragon looked and the sky and inhaled the night air. She paused. She sniffed again.
"You smell somethin'?" she asked Chris. Of course right at this time, a couple of soldiers leaped out from behind a dune and put at blade up to her neck. She looked sideways at Chris and saw the same thing had happened to him.
"You two do anything funny and we'll slit your throat. These blades are diamond coated, so I wouldn't cause any trouble,*" the soldier who had Dragonfly snarled. Her wings were trapped between her and the soldier behind her.
The soldier who had Chris raised his voice. "Both of you, surrender yourself, or will kill these kids here!"


OOC: *Diamond is the only thing, besides fire, that Ohnyaeli can't regenerate from.

Faefnir chuckled at Kerstov. He understood very easily what he meant. It would be an honor, Kerstov. You truly are an amazing warrior and person. And one day, I'll see to it that you find yourself at the sea again. Then Faefnir saw the soldiers come up from behind and take the two Ohnyaeli hostage. Faefnir put Kerstov on his back again, and bounded over to them. He said privately to Kerstov, Just play along with it Kerstov. Then he roared at the two soldiers. Release them! I am Thorant, dragon of Rider Perso! Release them and we will spare you! Don't, and we will attack, diamond-blade or no diamond-blade.

What? Dragonfly was stunned at what Faefnir was saying. What on earth does he mean?
Will you stop looking like he just spoke a foriegn language? He's obviously bluffing.
Dragonfly glared at Chris, which fortunately, got the stupified look off her face. [i]Yeah, and how was I supposed to know that?
The soldier pressed the blade closer as Faefnir walked toward him. "Stop moving forward!" he shouted. Silver blood started to trickle down Dragon's neck.
"Hey! Watch it there, will you? I'm considerably annoyed by the slavers, and then you people have to show up with your fancy knives! Will you-" Dragonfly got no further because the soldier put his hand over her mouth.
"Mmmm!" she tried saying something but it didn't work.

Chris rolled his eyes. You are an idiot. He looked around. I wonder where Dragon's werewolf friend is....
"Stop bluffing, dragon!" the soldier holding Chris shouted. "We know who you are. The king told us himself. You are Faefnir and that is Kerstov on your back. And these are two Ohnyaeli. Now like I said, surrender!"
This isn't going good,Chris thought. Chris could scent practically a whole army more of soldiers coming this way.

Oh dear. OK, this isn't a good thing. Your turn for an idea, Kerstov.

Kerstov rolled his eyes and then hopped off of Faefnir's back. He slowly began walking towards the slavers and said persuasively, "Why do you take these two kids as hostage, yet knowing that me and Faefnir is worth more than their own lives? Taking Faefnir alone would be enough, yes? I mean, he is the son of the Great Dragon." Kerstov smiled and continued to walk towards them. "Maybe you don't know what I've done in all of my life." he said, "But, maybe you could try to take me as well, or are you afraid of that? Perhaps you don't know how much money you would get off of me. I doubt you even know all of the bounties on my." Kerstov stopped about ten meters away from the slavers that were holding Chris and Dragonfly. He looked at them with convincing eyes.

Chris stared at Kerstov who speaking to the soldiers. What on earth is he trying to do? Chris cocked his head. It would mostly likely be best if he waited and saw what happened.
"These two are the last of the Ohnyaeli." the leader of all the soldiers came forward. "The king, Galbatorix, personally stated that he would like both of them. Preferably alive. But in fact, we only need one. So you, Faefnir, if you don't comply, I guess this little one will lose her life."


The commander walked over and pointed to Dragonfly, who immediately sank her sharp teeth into his finger. The commander yelled and shook his hand but Dragon was determined to hold on. Finally, the soldier holding her hit Dragon over the head and she collapsed to the ground.
Chris growled, and his eyes flashed alarmingly. Somehow, he managed to break free of the soldier and grabbed the knife, throwing it at the commander. It struck him on his right shoulder.
Chris stood there, breathing heavily. The commander tumbled forward, then stopped. He turned around, pulled the blade out and tucked it in his belt.
The commander walked foreward and he braced himself for what was about to happen next.
"Don't try to convince me to do anything different, Kerstov." The commander said. As quick as lightning, he drew out a different knife and stabbed Chris between the ribs. "Or do you want you friend to die?"
