OOC: This rp is for any good friends of Equinox, Quasar, or Elcyon, though I don't mind if others want to join.

Quasar passed around the base, Where is he? Equinox was supposed to be back several days ago. she said to herself. Not too far away from her, Eris and Ephidel played a card game while Aaron just stood in the corner. He leaned against the wall, throwing his sword up and down in boredom. Quasar was growing impatient, and was wondering when the green fool would arrive when she felt someone enter her mind. They all worried about him, even Aaron who was not known for showing signs of emotion. Then to her surprise she saw a soldier run towards them. He was a new recruit, and obviously alarmed at what he saw.
"Generals! Four dragons have been spotted flying towards us. They are green, black, red, and Silver!"
Quasar's head pecked up, she knew green was a normal dragon color, but still, it could be Equinox Take me to them please.
The soldier saluted her, "Yes general."
Aaron, Eris, Ephidel, make sure everything here is secured. Quasar said.
She followed the soldier, and flew up as she saw four dragons headed their way, and she angled towards the green one.

We're almost there. The base isn't too far away, and my friends should be able to help us... said Equinox, but he did not expect to me smashed into. He almost fell to the ground when he relized it was Quasar.
What took you so long Equinox! We were all worried about you. she demanded And who are they? she said.
Quasar? I'm fine, don't worry, and get off me. he said rather more rudely then he normally would, for some reason, and he was sure why, he didn't want to be embarrassed, but with Quasar, that was impossible for him when she treated him like a little brother. Anyway, the black dragon is my friends Elcyon, the silver one is her sister Savania, and the red one is their brother Tvashtar. Equinox said fastly.
Are you sure you and Elcyon are just friends. I can tell by the way you said her name, but anyway, I'm glad your back. Quasar said, then said to the other three I'm Quasar, one of the leaders of our rebel group. Nice to meet you. she said.

Sir, I just received word that Equinox, and the other three have arrived. said a spy. Crimson smirked.
"Good, I want you to monitor them, but don't make it obvious, we can't let them know we're on to them." Crimson replied evilly. With them gathering like that, it wouldn't be too hard to take them down, his only real threat. Soon, Equinox would be dead, by Crimson’s own hands.

Quasar looked at Elcyon and her two siblings. Equinox had told her some about Elcyon, but not much. She was glad to see the three; even if they weren't going to join them, she was glad three more dragons lived.
Equinox has told me some about you the first time he saw you. I’m glad to meet you in person Elcyon. As for you two, Savania and Tavashtar, you are welcomed here. Please, follow me inside, it may not be safe to stay out here for long. Quasar replied to Elcyon.

Tavashtar looked at Quasar, something familiar seemed to come from her. He had felt her presence somewhere before, but where?
Quasar, what are you and Equinox doing here? he asked.
We are against Equinox's rider Crimson, we offer you all shelter if you need it. Quasar replied to him. Tvashtar looked around, they were more north then he had ever been before. It was slightly cold, but he was used to it now.

Savania flew next to them. She could tell that others who were close to Quasar and Equinox were near. Like her brother and sister, she wondered if Quasar was her mother.

Equinox hid his face from showing any more signs of embaresment. He flew up closer to Quasar and said quietly to her Have you, Eris, Ephidel, or Aaron found out anything about Crimson? he asked, hoping she had, he really didn't want to deal with his deranged evil rider much longer, he hoped that Crimson would just stop fighting, but he knew that would never happen.
Surprisingly, no, we haven't. All of our spies have gone missing, and our information trails have vanished. We have no idea what that devil is planning. I'm ashamed to admit it, but we are completely ignorant and unprepared for anything Crimson is doing. Quasar said, putting her head down. Out of all the work she, Eris, Ephidel, and Aaron have done, they have found little. Equinox just shook his head, he should have expected it, Crimson had been a lot more quite about his plans for some reason.
Could there be traitors? he asked.
I don't know, Aaron told me the possibility, but I just don't know. Quasar replied, He, along with the other two will explain it more once we get back inside. said Quasar.

Crimson walked towards his two best Generals, Galedrim and Dsurion. The three, along with high ranking officers in Crimson's army were all gathered at a table.
"As you know, our last informant has told us that the green runt and his companions should have reached the enemy base by now. We must mustra our army, soon, it’s time for war. They will come crashing to their knees." he snarled.
"Sir would you like me to go. As the fourth sibling, they will not expect me to be on your side, no one will, they don't even know of me yet, and just that my presence is weak. I'll make it seem like because I am sick and close to death." Dsurion put in.
Crimson though about this. He had not thought of that, but it could be useful to lure them in to an even false sense of security while he swelled his army. Already all the terrabirds that have not joined the green runt were with him.
"Yes, but not now, it could be too obvious. Let the four of them settle in for awhile. I have other plans for now."
"Yes sir." the dragon replied.
Galedrim put his hand on his sword; he knew it was coming soon. The time where he would kill his brother, and Quasar. Though they did not know, Quasar was not Galedrim dragon, it was just by luck he touched her first because he and Eris were conjoined at the time.

OOC: Hey now, no more direct use of Dsurion, Savania, and Tvashtar 'til they're accepted, dark dragon. Sorry, but we can't have any rule-breakin'.

btw I would like to join.

IC: As usual, Phalynx was flying in a specific direction because something was urging her to. She was flying along like that when she noticed the infrared heat signatures of several dragons far below her. They looked like tiny little dots in her vision, but she had long ago learned how to identify which dots were which creatures. She pulled into a steep dive, eager to see who it was. As high up as she was flying, it took three minutes for her to get close enough to be able to tell the identity of the dragons. She pulled out of the dive and hovered, examining them. Equinox, Quasar, Elcyon, and a couple other dragons. I don't know them, she thought. She smiled that some of her friends were down there, including her good friend Elcyon. But if her instincts were correct, she would soon need to help them out somehow.

She dove even lower, low enough for the others to finally notice her approach. Hello, my friends. I'm afraid I do not know you two. May I ask your names? Phal asked politely. She noticed that one of the dragons was silver, though hers was a darker, more metallic version of the color. Silver dragons were relatively uncommon. Suddenly, Phal realized something. Weren't two of Quasar's eggs red and silver? she wondered to herself.

OOC: Ok, sorry =( Can I have them tell Phal their names though? Or should I just wait until their excepted?

OOC: lol you fail to see the loophole I gave you. I said no more direct use. That doesn't mean you can't use your other charries to tell what they're doing. You just can't do anything in their point of view. Hee hee.

OOC: Oh ok lol. Thanks

IC: Equinox flew next to Quasar, and saw Elcyon go into the base. He knew that he would have to talk to here soon about what he had told her. He felt his heart pound in his chest and he was glad no one could here it.
Hi Phal, I see you met Savania and Tvashtar. What brings you here? he asked her as they flew into the base.

Hello Phal. Quasar said to her. She noticed Elcyon fly up towards her and Equinox. Quasar shook her head, she would have to talk to Equinox, though, it hurt her when she rememberd Sceptar saving her life when he was cut down by Galbatorix. She flew into the base along with the others and Savania and Tvashtar were right behind her.

Eris saw multiple dragons come in. He smiled as he reconized Equinox, "I'm glad your alright. You worried us. Come, we must tell you some infromation." When he saw the newcomers he said, "Hello, I'm Eris, please to meat you." they said their names were Savaina and Tvashtar.
"Its nice to see you two, and you say you are siblings of Elcyon?" he said, Savania said yes and Eris went over to Quasar once the dragons landed.


Aaron saw the new comers and greeted them, "I reconize you." he said to Phal. He remembered he from back in the desert when Crimson ambushed him.

"Elcyon, nice to see you again." Ephidel said happily. He was continueing to work on his magic seal to try and find a way to free mass people of mind control.

OOC: Yep, lol.

IC: Phal smiled in greeting to the two new dragons. It's a pleasure to meet you, she said happily. She was getting quite used to meeting dragons younger than her, and realized then that it didn't feel as strange as it used to. She was usually the youngest dragon in a group, but now it seemed like more and more of the time she was not. It made her smile, for it was a sign that their race was recovering from the brink.

I've been quite well, Elcyon. And Equinox, I felt the need to come here, Phal replied to them, Obviously something important's going to happen, though I don't know what yet. What's with the gathering? she questioned, wondering why El, Savania, and Tvashtar had joined this group.

Ephidel watched as Elcyon, Equinox, Quasar, and two other dragons walked into the base. He was glad that they were alright. The silver and red dragon went over towards him and Eris, but stopped. "I think I've seen you?" the silver dragon asked him.
"Maybe, I remember you, we crossed paths near the shores after Equinox and I left that haunted island." he replied to her, and recognized her as Savania.
"I'm well Elcyon, I'm have just been trying to find a way to use the magic seal to free Crimson's mind prisoners, though so far I have nothing." Ephidel replied, holding onto the black seal.

Aaron came up from laying against the wall, "This is a lot of dragons now. If we could only have this many terrabirds. Oh well, nice to see you Equinox." he said. When Kavashtar asked if he was part dragon he said, "I am, I guess it's obvious, also seeing how I have my claws out." Aaron said, showing off his six inch long retractable dragon claws.

Well, I only brought them for some answers, and a place to stay if they wanted. Quasar can explain it better than I can, but we know that Crimson is out for quest of empire. He has taken over the spine, recruited most of the urgal tribes, a few are with us, and from the Island of Gray mists, he managed to convince most of the terrabird population to join them. If you're wondering what a terrabird is its a bird even larger than Quasar. We are planning a strike against him, but Elcyon, Savania, and Tavashtar came for answers to their questions. Equinox replied to Phal. He wondered just what hs evil rider was up to these days. He felt a strange presence and gave a small shiver. He wasn't sure why though, he was happy to be back with his friends.

Quasar looked at Elcyon. She could tell she wanted to ask her questions. She faced her, and said nicely, Sure, you can ask my anything. Go ahead. And do you write much? Equinox told me you had a journal? Quasar replied to Elcyon. Something seemed odd about Elcyon, not that she was odd, but, Quasar thought she seemed similar somehow.

"Nice to see you too Elcyon. Has Equinox been behaving? He usual does stupid things when Quasar isn't around to maintain him." Eris laughed.
Eris! If you are going to mess around like that at least don't do it with... Equinox stopped what he was going to say, but Eris smirked.
Equinox, do you like Elcyon? Eris asked him through mind communication. Equinox just glared at his friend.

Crimson waited for news from his spy. And Dsurioncame back with the news. Though much hadn't changed, Crimson decided to let them attack, and stead of him attack.
"It will still take awhile, not everything is set up." Galedrim said to Crimson.
"I know, as for the cyborg human slaves, how are they?"
Galedrim smirked "Ephidel and Aaron didn't manage to free all of them. There was another storage of them under that one. They are coming here aw we seek."
"What fools! Only fight for us because we offer them freedom. What they don't see is once we win, we will take permanent control of their minds." Crimson laughed.

"Thank you. Though its not going very well." Ephidel said rather cheerfully. He looked down at the seal and put it away. Aaron eyed it, "What?" asked Ephidel.
"I might have a solution to that, but ask me later, there are too many others around right now. And yes, I do trust them, I would rather say this somewhere else." Aaron said to Ephidel.

Eris saw Elcyon's look at him, "I didn't mean anything bad by that, I'm just saying that we, both him and I, usually get out selves into trouble when Quasar's not by."
Like your little adventure in the Island of Gray Mist? Quasar said with a laugh.
"Yeah... but I had Ephidel to make sure I didn't do anything."
Oh and that helps a lot. Quasar replied with another laugh.

Equinox looked at Elcyon, than back at Eris Sorry, I just... never mind.
he said.
Its ok Equinox, I understand. Eris said through mind contact, "Is it just me or..." started Eris, but he quieted himself. Elcyon, Savania, and Travshtar looked the same age, then he shook his head, "No... Quasar didn't have a black egg." he said to himself. Equinox looked back at them.
Well Phal, Quasar can explain it better, but here is the basic layout. Crimson's main fort is in the Spine, I know right where it is, but its guarded by hundreds of terrabirds. I don't know if you've seen one, but Ephidel, Elcyon, and I have seen them. If you want I'll come some that are with us. Anyway, Crimson has more than we do, and they are much larger than any dragon, not to mention he only had two dragons, but with you four it makes six. So, we are going to attack by air and land. Ephidel and Aaron will command the ground invasion, and Quasar, Eris, and I were going to command the air, though Quasar is over all commander. And Phal you can help lead the air invasion too. We will attack by night. And fortunately, Aaron and Ephidel were able to free all the cybrog humans so we won't have to worry about them. Equinox said.

That is pretty much it, though we will have to worry about the urgal tribes, he has most of them under his control, but we have some as well. Our surprise attack should catch him off guard, even with his number advantage. We do have several elves, humans, and even dwarves on our side.
Quasar looked at Elcyon. She was surprised Equinox would tell about her past, but it didn't bother her too much, it just brought back the memories.I'll have a look at it then. she replied. She took the journal and looked at its pages. Then, the four dragons caught her eye Equinox did tell you I had four eggs correct? Well, I guess I can tell you, after all you are a friend of his. My eggs were white, silver, teal, and red... she said, than she read something else in Elcyon's journal. Though it says... that you were born with a white egg and when you hated your scales were black...

Eris nodded, and he, Ephidel, Aaron, Savania, and Tavashtar listened to the conversation. Savania asked what she and her brother could do to help.

I've never seen my hatchlings since they were stolen by Galedrim. They only time I was able to glimpse one of the eggs was where he murdered Throat Ripper! she snared with great venom, Sorry, it's not you I'm angry at Elcyon. Its Galedrim, I'm angry at. That's interesting, I've never heard of that happening before. Quasar said, but when Elcyon mentioned the painting something came to her mind I think... you three are all siblings right? she then said quietly But there is only three not four...

Equinox looked at Aaron and Ephidel, they knew what a cyborg human was, he wasn't then when they freed the cyborg's from Crimson cold embrace, Well, terrabirds are monstrous birds that are larger than most dragons. They can control the direction of wind and create small tornadoes. Not only that, but they can screech so loud that it can damage hearing, and stun you for a moment. They are as intelligent as a dragon, and just as strong. They make a fierce opponent, even more so most of their race is with Crimson, though there are several with us. Equinox looked at Elcyon, he was just going to have her fight in the air battle with her siblings, but he should have told her, If you don't mind, you can fight in the air battle with us. Though that is a good idea, you can get far into enemy lines due to your black scales. So you could work as a spy of sorts. As for fighting, you can train againt, me, Quasar, or Phal or any of the terrabirds. Savania and Tavashtar that is the same for you two. Equinox replied.

"As for cyborg humans, they are humans with metal in their bodies. They can control the path of electricity, and one of their arms are pure steel and can't melt, well they can but it takes an extreme amount of heat. They are slow, but powerful. Ephidel and I managed to free a bunch of them, but they mistrusted us as much as they did Crimson, so they fled never to be seen again, though Ephidel and I are sure there are more out there that we unfortunately could not free." said Aaron. Savania said that it shouldn't be bad because she could control and bend metal.
"Maybe you can deal with them, but there will most likely be hundreds." Aaron replied.

Quasar was surprised by what Elcyon said. She wasn't sure if she believed it at first, but when she got a closer look at Elcyon, Savania, and Tavashtar she was sure she was correct. Though she had never expected to see her eggs again, let alone as hatched dragons. When Elcyon said that, Savania and Tvashtar said similar things to her. I... I don't know, it does make since. I think... she said than after a pause she said quietly but happily, You are... I can't believe it, but you are. I never thought I would see you, any of you. she said, as she looked Elcyon, she believed her, all the proof they gave, and everything that they, it made since, she looked at the three of them, three of her four hatclings.
Eris walked up to her and patted her on the leg "I'll give you some time along if you wish, I'm happy for you Quasar." he said.
Thank you Eris. Quasar replied and she nuzzled him with her snout. When Phal said she could relay infromation, Quasar replied, That sounds good, though be careful, Crimson may guess you are with us, even if he doesn't know for sure, he had prepared for anything, at least we have to be prepared of the possiblinity. I do like the plan though. So, before the battle you and Elcyon can scout out the area.
Quasar said.

That sounds good. You three can start training whenever you want. Are you nervous? Equinox asked Elcyon. He himself was slightly nervous, he had been in battle before, but never a full fledge siege. He was slightly worried, but knew that Quasar and Ephidel had spent days formulating the battle plans.
Quasar, before the fight do you want to try and find your fourth hatchling? Equinox asked her.
Quasar didn't reply at first, she still had to go through the shock of finding out that those thee were her's No, this is more imporant. I just hope Crimson or Galedrim didn't get to him. Quasar replied.
Equinox then remembered something else, he knew everyone besides Phal, Elcyon, Trvashtar, and Savania knew of it, Ephidel, tell them about the magic seal.

Ephidel took what Equinox said, and said, "Magic seal activate." the disk rose into the air, and the dark purple haze enveloped the room. It reminded him, like it did most of a shadow or twilight, "This is a magic seal. As far as I know I have the only one in the world. It can make magic usless while inside it, it will not work inside the seals boundary. We know Crimson will come out and fight, so I will be activated the seal. Phal, I was told you can use some forms of magic. It you, or another magic user needs to use magic in battle just tell me and I'll deactivate the seal."
Eris, to show them magic wouldn't work said in the ancient language, "Ground crumple, pulsate and shatter into pieces." But just as Ephidel said, the magic did nothing. Once Eris' demonstration was done, he deactivated the magic seal.

OOC: Ok, that's ok, hope you can get back soon though By the way, am I using the right form of seal?

I hope he will be as well. Still, even with his terrabird flock, we should have the surprise with seven dragons. Alright, that sounds good, so when you go, tell us what they have, and their soldiers around the castle. Equinox replied to Phal. Aaron and Ephidel both agreed with the plans. He hoped they would be alright from this though, he knew it was going to be a large battle, but he hoped only a minimal number of their soldiers would die.
I have fought in my share of battles, but none to this scale. Its good to be a little nervous though then to be overly confident. Equinox replied to Elcyon.

Quasar looked at Elcyon, Kavashtar, and Savania; she wasn't sure what to say. She was happy to see three of her hatchlings, after she thought she would never lay eyes on them. She gave each of them an affectionate nuzzle and said, I'm glad to see you three... thank you for being alive.
Privately to her Equinox said Wow Quasar, I've never seen you like this before. he said with a laugh, but replied I'm happy for you though.
Thanks Equinox, and don't worry, I won't treat you any different.
Thanks... I think.
Quasar gave a low humorous growl, and gave him a small nuzle Besides, how else would I treat my adapted little brother?

"That's good then. I'm glad it won't bother you much, though I'd only use it when needed to because it would affect our magic users." Ephidel said.

I'll help and train if you want. Savania, Kavashtar, what about you two? Equinox asked. They replied that they would train against them because they had never fought more than a few enemies before and they could use the practice.
Alright, because Elcyon is training against Phal first, I'll train with you Kavashtar, and Savania you can train with Quasar first. he said, the two dragons went with his plan.
We all worry about our friends Elcyon... said Equinox. Eris looked at him concerned when he said that.
"Don't worry Equinox, none of us our going to die." he said reassuringly.

Quasar replied with a small laugh herself Yes, we are. And I am just really glad to be able to see you three. I hope the fourth one is alright. Quasar said, wondering what his name was. She would have to find that out.

Yes, of course we will. We won't let anyone die. Equinox said hopefully. He would sacrifice himself for any of them. Though it had been several weeks, images of Throat Ripper's death were still ingrained in his head. Savania and Kavashtar asked Phal if after training with Elcyon if they could train with her. He would help with Savanian and Kavashtar who had not had any experience in fighting.

Crimson smirked, his spies informed him that the attack would be coming soon. He had the terrabirds fly around the perimeter, and the cyborg humans along with his mind controlled soldiers and the ones loyal to human were ready for battle and were getting prepared.
"Galedrim, I want you to sneak over to their base. Disguise yourself and tell me their troops in number and speices. Tell me anything you can about them."
"Yes sir." Galedrim replied.

OOC: We're saying this takes place before Dark Destiny, correct, Astral?

IC: Phal nodded. Don't worry, this is just training. Nothing should happen. Now, that was a good start, she said. She realized that this could be a little difficult. Elcyon's wings obviously weren't as powerful as Phal's, mainly because of their natural strengths and conditioning. So, it would be harder for Phal to know what she was capable of.

After assessing what Elcyon knew, and giving her a few tips about how to move her wings more efficiently, Phal would try giving her some situations, and then maybe sparring a little. Okay, for a spiral like that, try leaving one wing a little more unfurled, and then bending them a little in opposite directions. I'll demonstrate what I mean, Phal said, and executed the same move, though she pulled out of the spiral with a graceful ease that could only belong to a dragon of natural aerial skill and a lot of practice.

They continued like that for a while, Elcyon demonstrating a move and Phal giving her pointers and doing the move over. Then, Phal showed Elcyon a few manuevers to see how well she could pull them off. First was an extremely tight back-flip that resulted in Phal flying upside-down for a few moments, and then another back-flip that set her back right.

OOC: Um... ok, yeah sure ok lol.

IC: Equinox hoped that the cyber humans would flee given the chance, but he was sure they wouldn't. He wasn't sure of these plans, he had never been in a battle like this, but he trusted Eris, Quasar, and Aaron who had all been in one. Only he, and Ephidel haven't, though both of them were leaders of the base.
Quasar, if you want to spend time with Savania and Kavashtar you can, we can handle it right now. Equinox said.
No, not right now, but thanks Equinox. I'll talk to them soon though. I can't believe though... three of my four eggs, I'm so happy.
"We're all glad for you Quasar." said Eris.
I just wish... Throat Ripper could be alive for this. He had done so much to help us... and he died before we knew they hatched.

While the three were talking, Aaron pulled away Ephidel, "So, what I was going to say, I think I have a way for the magic seal to work and free the people under mind control?"
"How?" Ephidel asked.
"Get Eris to enchant it with magic that will do it. It didn't work last time, but it may with these words. Only probablem is... it could react and explode killing us, or it will make them back under mind control when the seal is deactivated."

OOC: Thanks You have fun too.

Galedrim in his dusguized form walked towards the base. He had to admit, it looked well protected, but that didn't matter, they wouldn't be attacking. He would act as if he was someone fleeing Crimson and Galbatorix. He pulled it off real well, and went to the entrance.
"Halt! Who are you?"
"I... I am Brenton. I with to join, I heard this was a sort of rebellion against Crimson... he killed my family and is after me... I just wish to rest if that is all."
"Alright, wait here, we'll go get General Quasar." they said. As they went in, Galedrim followed, and snuck away so no one would see him. Though he was in a disquize, he still would prefer not to be seen.

OOC: See ya later, Astral.

IC: Phal smiled. She brushed her wingtip against Elcyon's as a warm gesture. Well, I don't know about you, but you seem to like him. I can just tell. And, if you're worried about hurting him, then just tell him. If he still loves you after that, then I say go for it. If he doesn't care, then you should see how you feel other than that. Believe me, I know about that firsthand... Aeraldi was worried in the same way. He was afraid of hurting me. But I convinced him that it didn't matter, and that it would work out, Phal said, confiding a little in Elcyon herself. Her heart seemed to flare up when she thought about Aeraldi, and she began to wonder where he was at that moment. She realized that it would be a wonderful thing if the same thing could happen to Elcyon, if she could get the same feeling. So, Phal was determined to help her out.

Galedrim walked through the base, making note on what and who he saw. He could tell from smell that there were some terrabirds with them. He would have to break into the record room to get a full list of soldiers, goods, and weaponry. He walked around it, avoiding anyone talking unless he could find a safe place to hide in.
Some voices he reconized, he heard Eris and Quasar speaking, along with Equinox. Galedrim had to use all his will so he wouldn't charge in an attack. He snuck by and his himself. He saw another man who he reconized from Crimson as Ephidel, the holder of the magic seal. He also saw a person who was part dwarf, dragon, elf, and human; Aaron. He knew it was to easy to be seen if he went further in, so he turned around and went to another area.

Equinox sniffed and he shifted around, he heard something move, and smelt an odd smell. It was human and elf, but not half elf. It was like an elf turned itself human like.
Did any of you hear that? he asked.
"No, why? Elcyon and Phal are training, and Savania and Kavashtar went to rest." replied Eris.
I smell something odd, someone is in here that shouldn't be. Equinox said, with a small growl.

Equinox and Eris saw Elcyon come in. They weren't really sure what was here, but Equinox had told Eris he could tell something or someone is. I'm not sure, I can't tell. I swear... I've smealt the person before, but there is something odd about the scent, like its being covered up. Equinox replied with a growl he then said How was yours and Phal's training session?

Eris gripped his sword, he didn't have a good feeling about this. He felt a pain in his side and cringed slightly.
Eris, are you alright? Quasar asked him, she too felt the paing in her side. She snorted at it and gave a low growl.
I'm fine... it can't be him... can it? Eris asked her.
I don't know... how would he have gotten in so I doubt it... Quasar replied, but unconvinsed.

Galedrim walked around some more and dove to the side as he saw a silver and black dragon. He reconized the silver one. "Phal." he said to himself, he said her name with great hatred, he didn't no who the black dragon was though. He continued in deeper when he passed by a red and another silver dragon. He hid away from them, he had to find the infromation room and fast.

Aaron shrugged, "I haven't met this person, but I have a feeling that he is closley related to Eris."

Eris and Quasar looked at each other. They were not sure it was. Elcyon... did Equinox ever tell you about my second rider? Galedrim? He betrayed us, and he was the one that stole yours and your sibling’s eggs. We think that he is somewhere in here. said Quasar. Eris nodded in agreement. They didn't know why, but they guessed he was here to get information on them.

Equinox was slightly alarmed, but wasn't surprised that Galedrim would be in here. I'll go try and find him?
"Equinox, he's probably be in disguise." replied Eris
I know but... Equinox stopped what he was going to say. He just knew that Galedrim should not be here. And he also wanted revenge on Galedrim for killing Throat Ripper.

Quasar was glad that they all wanted to help. She knew that there was valuable information Galedrim could get in here that she didn't want him to have. She looked at Eris, and the two had the same thought, Galedrim would die if they found him.
I don't mind at all Elcyon. As for why he would to that. He is scum; he never cared for any of us. He was with Crimson from the start. We all wondered why Crimson never killed Galedrim when they fought before, but we know now. Quasar replied kindly to Elcyon.
"I'll help look with you Quasar." said Eris.

"I'll help to." said Ephidel.
"No, you and Eris go make sure Savania and Kavashtar are alright. And hide any documents that could be used against us." said Eris.
Aaron and Ephidel nodded, and did as he said.

Thanks Elcyon. I'd love to have you come with me. Equinox said happily. He knew that with him, Phal, Eris, Elcyon, and Quasar looking, it wouldn't be too hard hopefully to find Galedrim.

"Whose there!" shouted a guard. Galedrim didn't reply. He jumped out from behind a box, and cut open the man's chest. Inside the area, were several documents. He started rummaging through them, looking for which ones would help him and Crimson the most.

It would be close to the center. We hace several documents all over, but the main stuff is in the center. said Equinox. He looked at Quasar, and she nodded in agreement. The knew that he would be near there, Equinox flew into the sky, and noticed someone dart from a tree to behind a tent.
I saw someone go over there. It could be him. Equinox said, with a small growl.

Stay here Eris, Equinox and I will go. Quasar said. She knew that Galedrim would stop at no cost to kill his brother. He and Equinox flew to the tent; she trusted that Phal knew he was in there.
Galedrim! Come out! she roared at him.

Galedrim heard several dragons outside the tent he was in. He took as many documents as he could, than stepped out. As he expected, Phal, Quasar, and Equinox, along with a black dragon he didn't recognize. He smirked at them.
"Nice to see you all again? What a pleasnt surprise." he said a dark smirk.

Equinox snarled at Galedrim Traitor, egg stealer, murderer. Galedrim, you will pay for what you did to Throat Ripper.
"Oh, yes, I forgot about him. What does it matter Equinox, he was just an urgal. Nothing but a savage. Why do you care about him? He was nothing."
Equinox roared angrily at Galedrim Nothing! He was one of your friends before you betrayed us and then you slaughter him like a pig!
Galedrim nodded, "Now, Equinox, I grow tired of yours and Quasar's shouted. And Phal, do you really think the likes of you could stop me or Crimson? And, I don't know who you are, but I don't really care black dragon. Go, you are no part of this. Leave these three fools behind if you know what's good for you." Galedrim said to Elcyon.

OOC: Yeah, you can join red =)

OOC: Hey, red!

IC: Phalynx hissed, teeth bared, as Galedrim stepped out of the tent. She felt the urge to join Equinox in his angry shouting, angry that this traitor would dare show his face. But anger was only one of her feelings. Mostly, she felt sad and disappointed, and pitied the once noble rider for having joined the forces of evil.

Galedrim, I will stop you, Crimson, and everyone else who turns their back on the side of goodness and light, no matter what you may think. You have hurt my friends -your old friends- and in the end you will pay for your crimes, with or without my help. Now hand over those plans. Don't try to teleport or use other magical means to escape; you know I can follow you, she warned, her voice low in warning.

Phal didn't take her eyes off of Galedrim as she noticed Mesaraih and Fenirexes join them, though she gave a silent greeting. More will be explained later, my friends, but right now we have cornered the traitor Galedrim as he was trying to steal our battle plans, she said to the dragon and rider.

Equinox looked up and saw Fenirexes and Mesaraih. He was glad to see them, he hadn't seen them in a bit and glad both were ok. He gave a low growl when they arrived. Hello you two. As for who this is, its Galedrim, he's trying to steal out battle plans and other documents.
Galedrim smirked, "He is correct. Fenirexes, Mesaraih? How are you two? I believe that we haven't seen each other after Frazer raped Quasar and I stole her eggs? How are you two fools doing? Why do you side with Equinox?" Galedrim said.
Equinox snarled at Galedrim Shut up traitor. We have you surrounded.

Galedrim smiled and looked at Elcyon and Phal, "Phal, dragon of the stars, hah! Pathetic. You know the starts would be nothing but giant balls of gas if it wasn't space that they rested in. If you don't know I mean, you'll see soon enough. As for my friends, they were nothing but tools, all of them." Galedrim let out a mad laugh than glared at Eris and Quasar "You see you two, I have a confesion to make. I am not Quasar's rider, that... would be alone Eris."
"What do you mean! You're the one that has the mark! You were the one that first touched her." Eris spat back at Galedrim.
"No Eris. You see, when Quasar hatched she could sense both of us, but you were the one meant to be her rider. When she did hatch, I just happened to be holding her egg more and my arm than you were. I just happened to touch her first. It was a fluke, I am not Quasar's rider, though I have the mark and you don't, you are the rider."
What? That's mad?! How would you know! Quasar demanded.
Galedrim only laughed, "You see, I was never bonded to you. Though it seemed like you bonded to me, Eris being your true rider was the one you bonded more too without knowing it. You were nothing but a tool Quasar, all of you. I had no feelings for any of you, I don't care for you all. Equinox, you are nothing but a coward and a fiend. You have no worth in this world. Phal, you are nothing but an arrogant silver dragon who hides behind her dear half brother. Quasar, you are nothing but a fat rusty dragon. Eris, your nothing but an arrogant fool who thinks he knows all. Fenirexes and Mesaraih, I never got to know you two that well, but you are nothing but weak fools, I could kill you all if I wanted." Galedrim said, with a dark laugh.

Quasar and Equinox roared You dare insult us and our friends! Both dove at Galedrim, but he used magic and warped behind Eris. He slashed at Eris, but Eris blocked his sword stroak. Dsurion attack now! ordered Galedrim

Dsurion desended down onto them. Though smaller than all the dragons out, he was a force to be reckoned with. He flew down, and first struck at Phal. He didn’t use his powers yet though. Then he noticed Quasar and Elcyon and cut off his attack.
Hello mother, hello sister. Where are the other two? Dsurion asked evil. Hurry Galedrim, Lord Crimson grows impatient. And I am not yet strong enough to take on five dragons and two riders at once.

Galedrim blocked Mesaraih's attack, though it seemed like the fireballs would score a direct hit on him. Before the fireballs hit though, Dsurion flew towards Galedrim, and a strange radient power came from his body like a black wave. The air and space around the fireballs shifted, and the instead of heading at Galedrim turned direction and smashed into the ground.
Futile human. Dsurion said to Mesaraih.
Galedrim laughed as Phal and Dsurion both managed to slightly injure the other, "No, you all will soon see why you are sorry. I however must regret that I picked my time of treason then. I should have done it before Quasar escaped, and then perhaps she could be under Crimson's control as well."
I will never have fallen to him Galedrim. snarled Quasar. Galedrim laughed, but was surprised to see Eris charge at him. Galedrim flipped into the air, and Eris and Galedrim locked swords.
"Stay away from us Galedrim." Eris demanded.
"Never. You will die Eris, I will kill you just like I killed Throat Ripper." They exchanged sword attacks, but oddly Dsurion used the same odd magic to make Eris' sword bend ninety degrees up when it should have gutted Galedrim.
"What?!" Eris said surprised. Galedrim only laughed at his twin brother.

Dsurion looked back at Elcyon My sister, my very foolish sister. Can't you see! I am in the right. Quasar, our mother killed our father in cold blood! She was never raped, she was killed him. She murdered our father in cold blood, and I swear revenge. Elcyon, you, Kavashtar, and Savania will all die if you stand in my way! He turned to Phal and replied What does it look like I'm doing? I'm trying to kill you fiends. Lord Crimson demands your death.Dsurion flew at Phal again, and this time when he flew at her, he used his ability to contort space to make it seem to her he was coming from the right when he was really coming head on.

Quasar was shocked when Dsurion said that. She tried not to say anything, but couldn't. How could he think that? Dsurion... I only killed Frazer because there was no chance to free him... I... I'm not evil. She said, she was greatly saddened. She had spend the past many months and years seaching for her eggs Galedrim stole, and now... it all seemed for nothing if one of her hatchlings thought she was evil.

Equinox flew at Galedrim, he jumped back, and avoided his lightning, and Eris' sword.

OOC: Red, its your turn.

OOC: It's ok red Ok lol.

IC: Dsurion recoiled as Phal bit his back. He roared, and slashed back at her with his claw. He used his magic to make his claw bend downwards through her doing a bit more damage, but he focused more on heading back towards Crimson. He pulled away from Phal, and sped off towards Crimson's fortress. He used his space contortion to make the distance in between them even larger so they would find it harder to reach him and Galedrim and the two were soon out of sight.

Quasar snarled at the two as they flew away. She was tempted to chase after them, but after they disappeared she landed back down. I'll them. I know more about it than Equinox. said Quasar. It started with Frazer kidnapping me and forcing me to have eggs. They were stolen by Galedrim who betrayed us. The eggs hatched into Elcyon, Savaina, Tavashtar, and Dsurion. Not to long ago, myself, Eris, Equinox, and... Throat Ripper with a few others were in the spine. We happened to come across a old run down castle that Crimson was starting to make his own. He defeated us when we tried to stop him, but we did manage to gain some information about it. Crimson going to start a war, to conquer Alagaesia and beyond. He had already started gathering forces, other than his mind controlled slaves. He tried to kill us when we took off with the information. On the way out, Galedrim... Galedrim slaughtered Throat Ripper. After that, we went off to find our own troops to combat Crimson. We met Ephidel and Aaron. From there, Ephidel and Aaron found a large factory of syborg humans. They tried to free them, but the ones they did had no trust for the outside world, even their rescuers. Then, Ephidel, Equinox, and Elcyon as well from what Equinox said went to the Island of the Grey Mist. There they met the terrabirds. Some of which joined us, some joined Crimson. There we met Klenitar. And from there, after a few move events we reach where we are now.
"Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. Also tell you just what kind of traitorous scum Galedrim is!" spat Eris. He quietly cursed Galedrim under his breath.

I'm not sure, I'll go and see! said Savania happily. She flew strait as an arrow towards Klenitar and crashed right into him. Both fell down, but Klenitar regained himself and said, "What was that for! Who are you?" he demanded.
Equinox laughed and replied Klenitar, her names Savania, and don't worry, she's with us. Now come, and why are you late.
The terrabird had a worried look on his face, waited for Savania to get up, and the two went over to the rest, "I have some bad news to tell you. Crimson's attack force has already marched northwards from the spine, and east."
How bad do you think it is? Where does he get his troops. asked Quasar.
"It's bad, he's moving swiftly. I doubt he will attack Galbatorix yet though. As for his troops, his tricks, forces, and spreads lies to his soldiers to get them to join."

Equinox noticed Elcyon walk off a bit. Worried, he walked over and went right next to her, Are you alright? he asked kindly.

Dsurion smirked as Phal continued to follow them Using my own magic against me then? Heh, you will learn not to test me dragoness. He turned around to face her again, he saw the starry missiles she shot at him. He laughed and used his power to make the missiles vanish. He knew that he couldn't fight for ever, but he knew that the two of them could out match Phal, and if they couldn't, all they would have to do was get close enough to Crimson's fortress for reinforcements to arrive.
He decided to play a few tricks on her. He wasn't powerful enough yet to contort of try to contort her body, but he could bend space to make her fly in another direction. He made the space infront of her shift and fall back on itself so she would be flying as if headed for him, but actually flying backwards.

Galedrim sat on top of Dsurionk ammused at his games. He summoned a ball of overheated air and fired it directly at Phal, though he had to ask Dsurion how to adjust it for the space contortion.

"We are glad to have you two with us. You will prove a great help. We won't attack yet, but soon though. It may take longer if Galedrim escapes without battle plans." said Eris.

Equinox's heart dropped. He lowered his head and tried to keep himself from shedding tears. He let out a low sniff, but passed it off as a cough. He looked at Elcyon, a small tear was in his eyes, Elcyon... he said than stopped for a moment. He didn't want to look like this with all his friends around, but he couldn't help it I, you're right, I don't trust many. Though I don't seem like it, I still find it hard to trust people after what happened to me when I hatched... Elcyon... you are one of the few that I do trust. I know this won't change your mind, but, I don't care if your cursed, I'll help you if I can. I love you Elcyon, and... and I want to help you if I can. You are my friend, as I'd help any of my friends, no matter what is wrong with them. he paused for a moment and looked at the ground and shook his head a bit I... I guess I'm ok with it... I want to help if I can, but... I know you don't want to put me through anything, but I don't anything bad to happen to you... he said quietly.

Klenitar landed by them, Eris, Quasar, Ephidel, and Arron greeted him. Savania and Tavashtar eyed him nervously, they knew what tales Equinox and Elcyon told them about the fearsome terrabirds that would prey on dragons.

Dsurion snarled as the starry missile struck him in the thigh. He looked back behind him to see that Phalynx was headed back. Dsurion smirked. Coward. he said to himself. He was about to turn around when he heard something behind him. He looked and saw a human jumped up so high that it was on level with is flying.
What the heck? said Dsurion. He turned around and before the human struck back down when he was falling he contorted space so it would feel heavier on him for now.
Looks like I have new prey. he said to himself as he flew towards the man.

As Dsurion flew lower Galedrim cursed all of them back at the enemy base for a slow painfull death. He then saw the dragon was about to attack a person. "No! Stop Dsurion. Are orders are to return to Crimson, not to kill random people." He jumped off the teal dragon and looked again at the person. He couldn't believe it, it was Reik. He only seen him a few times before.
"What are you doing here?" Galedrim demanded.

Equinox nodded and watched Elcyon go over to Quasar and talk to her. He said that she was right, though in his heart he was still sad and wished she would change her mind. He shook his head though, he couldn't let this get in the way of the mission, no matter how hard it was. He looked up and saw Phal flew back. He hoped she wasn't badly injured.

Quasar saw Elcyon come up to her. She was still angered at Galedrim for what he had said and what he did. She gave a low snarle, but replied kindly, Yes, you and Phal will have to leave either to night or tomorrow. I agree its about the only thing we can do now.

Savania flew down next to her mother and sister I want to come to. I can help. she said excitedly.
No Savania, two dragons is enough to go, and both Phal and Elcyon have some experiance with Crimson and his minions. Quasar replied.
Savania had a disappointed look on her face, But I want to do something.
Quasar sighed and replied, You and your brother can scout around the camp. Tell us if there's any signs of an enemy ambush.

Tvashtar nodded at what his mother said. He would wait a few hours though once things calmed down before they started the scouting mission.

OOC: Red hasn't been on for awhile so you can go Draco.

Galedrim smirked, Reik would be a lot of help. He could even fight dragons and enemy terrabirds with the boots he just found. "Actually, yes, we are. What we stole were battle plans. They plan on attacking Crimson's fortress. We know things that they do not. And with their battle plans, victory should be easy. And yes, you could help, the more the better. Besides, you have experience fighting Mesaraih and his blasted dragon." said Galedrim.

Dsurion growled in agreement. He looked down at the human though remained silent. He would let Galedrim do the talking for now. He only said Hurry up with your desicion though. Crimson demands we be back soon. Even if they did waist some time, it was no big matter. He could easily make their arrival time faster by bending space and making the distance between them and the fort shorter.

Equinox remained silent. He didn't feel like talking much, though he stayed to hear what Phalynx and Elcyon would be doing for the spying mission. He wondered though what Quasar would do about the battle plans. They would need knew ones now.
Quasar... what are we going to do? It may take too long for new battle plans? asked Equinox.
We have other battle plans we made. The only problem is none of them as good as that one. These ones are alright, but Crimson and his minions will be able to counter them easily.
Equinox looked over at Mesaraih and just noticed he and Fenirexes were training. He watched them for a bit and saw the last move they did, When did you two learn how to do that? he asked.

"I think the other plan we had before this one worked well. We just have to change a few things. Actually, with Phal, Elcyon, Savania, Fenirexes, and Tvashtar it won't be that bad to change it. We originally planed on only two dragons, not seven." replied Aaron.
We can continue this talk later. It is more important to discuss the spy mission. said Quasar.
Aaron shrugged, "Suit yourself Quasar. Crimson stands no chance against us anyway."
Quasar only shook her head at Aaron's arrogance.

I agree Elcyon. You and Phal are the best at the job. Though both of you need to be careful. Phal knows more of Crimson's tricks than you do, but just proceed with caution. I don't want anything to happen to any of you. I too think it is best you two leave tonight. Quasar said looking back at her daughter. She was always concerned about her friends, though she felt even more so that Elcyon was her daughter.

Don't worry, I won't. Savania replied to her sister. Though Savania knew that would be hard for her, but she was glad that she and Tvashtar would at least be able to patrol the camp. Though both doubted there would be any enemies nearby.
