Ascension (Open)
]"Hurry up!" A human said to his buddy that was helping him to move a cage with a young dragon in it. "I am hurrying!" The other human snapped. "We have time anyway. All those elves are celebrating the festival of harvest." With a grunt the two put the cage onto the ground near a wagon with dozens of other caged hatchlings of varieing age. "Its not them I'm worrying about. Ever since that slayer champion took charge of fort Valor they have been on some foolish crusade as peacekeepers. It was better for bussiness when all they did was kill dragons."
The other trapper wiped a arm across his forehead to clear it of sweat. "Aye.... well thats the last of them. Should fetch a good price for them in the capital if we can make it past the slayer checkpoints on the road near Osirus." The two trappers flinched after they heard someone clear there voice. Turning slowly they saw none other then the newly promoted slayer champion himself.
The giant of a man had his arms crossed and scanned all the cages. "Last time I checked, trapping on the kings land was poaching..... a crim punishable by death"
"This is elven lands sir" The smallest trapper replyed with a meak voice. "Tis no crime" Atakai shook his head. "The elves suffer the dillusion this is there land. Every acre is property to the crown. Leave now I just might forget I saw you here"
Needing no other encouragment the two young trappers fled like cowards leaving now just Atakai and the trapped serpents. The giant of a human did a brief walk around of the cages ignoring the hisses he got from its occupants. Seeing what he wanted the slayer captain unsheathed his giant greatsword and started to break the metal locks on the cages one by one. For the most part the young serpents fled as soon as the locks broke but a few needed coaxing. A swift hard kick to the back of the cage seemed to do it for the rest.
"Another productive day" Atakai thought. "Now I just need to find that man eater" Some clicking noises braught the man from his thoughts. A young gold was perched on its cage cleaning itself in a very cat like manner. "Shoo" Atakai said and waved his hands to no effect other then to make the young hatchling cock its head in a cute manner. "Your free you silly lizard. Go home" Again it just sat there watching him. Atakai was not use to seeing such behavior from a dragon before. It made him uneasy. "You must have been with them to long.... demesticated" Atakai thought in horror. "I dont want a pet. Go home"
He patted the hatchling on the rump where the tail melded with the rest of its body. "MURRR" The hatchling purred and rubbed its head agaist his hand. What happened next Atakai could never have foreseen. A bright flash and burning pain. His first instinct was to yell and hit the young hatchling sending it topping off its perch on the cage. Squeeling the injured serpent limped off into the brush leaving Atakai to pull off his glove and pour water onto the glowing mark burned deep into the flesh of his hand.

Re: Ascension (Open)
Felecia jerked as she flew, a hand flying to her heart as it skipped a beat. Her Gedwey Ignasia glowed like a lantern on her palm. She smiled slightly. Another Pair, Dragon and Rider, had been bonded. And nearby too, for her reaction to have been so instant and sudden. She beat her wings a few times, rubbing her thumb back and forth across the Dragon Rider mark. She was an ex-Rider now. She missed Ebony so much. She felt the gem against her chest vibrate slightly, and his soothing voice slid into her mind a moment later. I am still very much here, partner-of-my-heart. he rumbled. True, that Ebony had transferred into his Eldunari, or Heart of Hearts, as he died. But she still missed the sensation of riding upon his back, the feel of his power muscles sliding underneath his midnight blue scales, gazing into his multicolored gold and black eyes. A lump rose in her throat and she swallowed it back, blinking away the hot tears that blurred her vision. Ebony's Heart, the gold side that was streaked with occasional ribbons of dark blue and black, flashed gently. The Ancient's say that the new bond is a half-league north of our current position. he reported. She nodded and flew faster.
A few minutes later, she saw a young human man that was pouring water onto his palm. She smiled slightly. She hadn't thought of that when Ebony gave her the Mark. Making deliberate noise so she didn't startle him when she spoke, she folded her wings and landed a few yards in front of him with a dull thump. She smiled warmly as she folded her leathery wings against her back,"Ah, I recognize you. Sarai has told me about you. Um...Atakai, is it? I'm Felecia Blacksword." she cut off and bit her lip after introducing her name. She no longer had a Dragon Rider status. She took a deep breath and took a few steps forward to him, glancing around and then back at him,"Where is your dragon?" she asked. If the dragonet was in danger or lost then she would need to help this new Rider find his companion.

Re: Ascension (Open)
Atakai emptied the can of water and dropped it. The water did not help at all and the dragon like mark pulsed with light like a hearbeat. With the appearance of the woman the giant of a man took his greatsword up with his good hand and let the other with the pulsing mark hang at his side. "None human" He said dryly and looked her up and down. He was pro human. But not so much of a bigot as many others as to want anything that is different to die. Atakai believed more in the live and let live policy. But there would be a distrust.
Hearing about Sarai he grunted and sheathed his sword taking the none human womans body posture as none aggressive. "I bet she has. Next time you see her.... tell the serpent next time we meet she will be punished for her crimes" Last they met she sided with a friend that murdered one of his fellow slayers in cold blood for no apprent reason other then he could. Protecting someone for murder was a crime in itself to him. And he was a firm believer in law and order. Without it, there was unending chaos.
The large man groaned loudly as his hand spasmed again. "My dragon?" He asked in confusion. "I freed some hatchllings from poachers and got this for my trouble" He held out his open palm with the mark. "One of them attacked me with magic and I struck it down. Wretched thing limped off.
He was not very quick witted but after a moment he seemed to put it all together. "Drat.... so that is why I am in so much pain" Some was his. But the rest had to be the young gold that limped off. Atakai had put the fear of god into it. "We better go find it" He quickly added. "Studys show injured hatchlings have a high mortality rate in the wild"
He recited that knowledge with a tone not of one who cared. But as if a teacher reciting something to a class they had been repeating for years. "I cant remember, was it the dragon that died if the human did? Or the other way around?" He thought and headed in the direction he saw the hatchling limp off.

Re: Ascension (Open)
Felecia pursed her lips and let him talk himself out. She scowled, however, when he spoke of the dragonling as if it were a thing, instead of a creature with intelligence and feelings. She sighed inaudibly and turned to lead the way. She had already found the young dragon with her mind,"This way, Atakai. I found the youngling. I am an ex-Rider, by the way." she said. She looked up and whistled a four tune melody. A moment passed, then a metallic red dragonette flew down from the trees and landed on her shoulder, trilling gently. Jetaema, more affectionately known as Jeta. Felecia stroked her fingers down Jeta's spine. Go to the youngling and comfort it, would you, until we can get there? she asked her small companion. Jeta trilled again and rubbed her tiny scaled face against the elf's jaw. Okay, I'm on it! said the dragonette, who then spread her delicate wings and took off, zipping through the trees and the occasional vine. Felecia walked forward again, leading the way,"As for Sarai, she is a part of my extended family. And I know the rest of her family members as well. They all will protect her ferociously." she warned. Her brown leather wings rustled slightly against her back.
- - - - - - - - - -
Jeta flicked her wings easily, scenting the air. She landed on a thin branch and balanced easily with her tail, scanning the ground for anything....Her eyes flew back to a small rock overhanging. A flash of gold had just caught her attention. She rustled her wings, then took off again to hunt. She caught a rabbit and brought it back to the overhanging, hesitant, just in case the young one was scared and tried to defend herself. Jeta inhaled a bit and smelled a faint tang of blood, though she wasn't sure if it was the rabbit or the hatchling that she was smelling. She dragged the rabbit forward to the entrance then backed off to give the dragonet space. There's a little bit of meat there for you, young one. she murmured soothingly. It may not fill you up, but once your companion gets here I can get more for you. she nudged the rabbit closer. It's yours; eat it all if you want. she urged, then curled up a ways away and went about cleaning the crimson blood from her claws and scales. She was still a messy hunter, even after all this practice.

Re: Ascension (Open)
The hatchling only a few hours old came limping out of the hole in the rock outcropping and keened softly before starting to eat the rabbit. She gave no mental response to Jeta. She still was to young apparently.
Atakai stayed ahead of Felecia even though she said she knew where the hatchling was. Atakai thought himself more then capable of tracking it down. Stopping for a moment to examine some tail drag marks on the ground he said with indifference. "That is nice to know ma'am. But you dont need to explain yourself to me. So what if your a rider. As long as your a upstanding citizen that obeys the law. We will have no problems." Standing back up he continued to walk, speaking as he did so.
"I am Atakai by the way, Captain of the slayer company at fort Valor. I'm in charge of this region and the safety of Osirus" Pushing through some trees he looked up at a tall rock formation and the outropping above. "Great, I hate heights." Undoing the leather strap across his chest holding the sheathed greatsword on his back the giant of a man offered it to his companion. "Hold onto this for me. I'm going up" Without another word the man started to climb the treacherous rocks. Near the top he jumped from a handhold and held onto the outcropping for dear life as he dangled over open air. The gold appeared looking down at him and let out a hiss before hitting his head rather humorously with a paw like a angry cat. "Stop! Quite it!" He barked.
The damage was done though. Losing his grip the man fell and hit the ground below kicking up a cloud of dirt. It appeared the old storys were true. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Groaning but unhurt the man just said. "Ok..... your turn"

Re: Ascension (Open)
Felecia pursed her lips but kept silent. She followed behind him, her wings twitching. Once they reached the hiding place of the gold (and she was a bit impressed that Atakai had tracked the dragonling so easily), she couldn't help the light chuckle as he attempted to reach his companion. She walked over to him and helped him up, flaring her wings as she did,"Your dragon is scared of you now, because you struck out at him or her instead of holding it close to you to share your body heat and feeding it. You will have to work now at earning its trust." she said quietly. She needed to find out the gender of the youngling so she could stop calling it and 'it'. She hated doing that, especially to a thinking, feeling creature like a dragon. Releasing Atakai, she beat her wings and lifted into the air, going up until she hovered in front of the outcropping there she saw the gold and Jeta. She smiled soothingly to the gold and held out her hand, murmuring in the Ancient Language that she wouldn't harm it. The dragonet was still young and undoubtedly didn't understood her fully, but the meaning of her words in the language of power would not be missed. She edged closer a bit, keeping her posture non aggressive and her eyes angled to the ground to show that she meant no harm and she was not a challenge. Jeta chirped to the youngling as well, encouraging it.
- - - - - - - - - -
Jeta padded to the youngling and pressed into its side, chirping occasionally to encourage it forward. She knew that the dragonet was hurt and padded around to the injured side. She licked it gently then supported the young one again. Jeta might be small, but she was still strong. She saw Felecia jerk her head slightly toward the ground and she chirped in response, looking back at the gold anxiously before spreading her wings and floating to the ground. She landing on Atakai's right shoulder and trilled. You sure made a mess of things. she chirped to him bluntly, her ruby eyes glittering almost as much as her fiery metallic red scales. I'm Jeta by the way, and no I'm not a dragon. I'm a dragonette. Dragonette's don't grow to be huge like dragons do, we stay small like this. she explained in rapid fire, barely taking time to breathe.

Re: Ascension (Open)
Atakai accepted the small womans help and dusted himself off. The young dragon not trusting him would prove problamatic. But Atakai would enjoy taming it. Tough jobs, once done. Always braught him a sense of self accomplishment. Crossing his arms the giant of a man watched as the woman ascended to the rock outcropping.
The young gold was hesitant at first when Felechia coaxed her forward. But with help from the dragonette she limped forward into Felecia's arms.
Back down below Atakai did not flinch when Jeta landed on his shoulders. He simply turned to look and study her with his eyes. "I am a man of action. When I get hurt reflex takes over" The man continued to study the small serpent. "I know what you are. Arche toothess. One of the lesser kin race of dragon kind. Like the extinct wyverns and wingless zenith drakes." Atakai did not mean to offend when he called her lesser race. It was not a literal term but a form of catagory that slayers put serpents into. His voice when he spoke held no malice but a tone of proffesionalism. Turning to look back up he added.
"I have a pet similar to your kind. But there intelligence is more akin to a dog and they look like small wyverns.... about your size"

Re: Ascension (Open)
Felecia smiled as the gold limped forward into her arms. She gently stroked the baby's scales down to her injury, which she probed lightly so that she didn't cause pain,"[/i]Be healed,[/i]" she murmured in the Ancient Language. The wound healed over easily, taking barely any strength at all. When she again touched the area, there was no sign that there had ever been an injury at all, not even a scar. She scratched the hatchling's jaw and crooned to the gold, tenderness washing through her. This young one reminded her of Ebony when he was a dragonet. He snorted into her mind. I was not that small. he said indignantly. She smiled and didn't respond. Gently she gathered the baby into her arms and picked it up, making sure she supported the hindlegs. She spread her wings and beat them powerfully, lifting the both of them into the air. She drifted over into open air and then slowly descended to the ground, still holding the baby tightly in her arms. She alighted a bit away from Atakai and crouched, placing the youngling on the ground and crooning to her again, murmuring in the Ancient Language,"It is a female. What shall you name her?" she said to Atakai without looking up from the dragonling.
- - - - - - - - - -
Jeta chirped at Atakai, her ruby eyes bright. I am no pet, I can assure you of that. I help Felecia deal with the loss of Ebony, her dragon companion. she tilted her head curiously. Wyverns aren't extinct. I've seen some. she trilled, then turned when Felecia descended to the ground with the gold baby in her arms. She crooned and flared her tiny wings, taking flight and darting over to the dragonling. She landed on the baby's shoulders and twittered at the gold in an encouraging way.

Re: Ascension (Open)
A self confident smile crossed Atakai's once serious face. "They are extinct little serpent. Wiped out by the dragon riders of old as were the wyvern lords. If they did live though. I would have much prefered one of them as a companion." Atakai crossed walked over and looked down at the helpless newborn gold and he raised an eybrow. "Female? Why does that not surprise me. I have been investigating why rider and dragon pairs are often opposite sex. And why dragons bond most with humans. Not by chance that is for sure" Squating he held out his hand and the gold pulled back with a hiss. This braught a smile to Atakai's face. "You are a very brave little serpent. No fear, I like that"
Holding out his other hand to the side Atakai watched as the little gold followed it. Its horse like ears pointed forward in extreme intrest and concentration. It was during this distraction he reached in with his other hand from the side and grabbed the gold. But not without a squeel and struggle. Atakai's strong arms were more then a match for the young gold. Putting the gold on her back the large man rubbed its belly ending the hissing temper tantrum. "Not so angry now are you. This is all I need. ANother bloody dragon in my life. I think I will let my wife name you
OCC: Sorry if its short tonight. Kinda tired

Re: Ascension (Open)
Felecia's lips pursed as she watched Atakai interact with the young dragoness, stiffening when he tricked the female, but relaxing and even smiling a bit when he turned over the young one to rub her belly and soothe her,"Oh there are some exceptions to that rule. Though it technically isn't a rule. There are some Dragon Riders that are the same gender, and quite a few Dragons that have bonded with elves, with twolegs other than humans or elves." she said. She raised one eyebrow,"I would not recommend that. Naming your companion is a first step to making your bond closer. Although you could wait a few weeks, perhaps even a month or two, until she can speak. Then she can give her own opinion on what she wants in a name." she advised.
- - - - - - - - - -
Jeta snorted indignantly. They were not in Alagaësia of course, silly. And Felecia saw them too. And if you'd mind I'd prefer if you call me by my name. I am a thinking creature with feelings, after all. she chirped at him, her eyes sparkling with rancor. Just like her metallic red scale color, she had a fiery spirit. She grinned wolfishly at the gold when it hissed at Atakai's extended hand, though bristled at the trickery. If you had waited patiently you would have gotten the same result and also gained a bit of her trust. Tricking what you want out of her will make her question and be wary of everything that you say or do. she sniffed. She flicked her wings and flew up onto Felecia's shoulder, where she crooned and stroked her face against the female elf's jaw. The ex-Dragon Rider smiled and rubbed the dragonette's head with a finger, making the metallic red purr in her throat.

Re: Ascension (Open)
Atakai continued to rub the young golds belly occasionally sticking out a finger towards her snout and pulling back with each playful bite. He waited for the winged none human female to finish speaking out of respect before replying.
"I mostly kill dragons. My studys on social interaction with a bonded borders the ignorant. Slayber archives have few written works on bonded social structure. I will take your wise words as truth. It would probably be best to let her get older and choose a name"
Jeta's words hung heavy on Atakai's mind. If the wyverns still lived. Perhaps so did his people the wyvern lords. The large man found it amusing how uncreative mankind was in nameing things. Rather then some fancy word that sounded pretty for the different sub races of men they just added lord to it. Like the gryphon lords, wyvern lords, storm lords, and storybook fabled dragon lords.
Atakai was braught out of his amused thoughts by Jeta. He would not hold his tounge on it. "My methods are of no concern to you.... Jeta" He spoke the last word with a edge of distaste unlike his serious normal voice. "You might not approve pretty serpent. But my methods work. The scales are thinest here on the belly and the concentration of nerve endings are highest. She loves me now" He spoke the last sentence with a soft comforting tone and looked down at the little gold. "How can she resist someone that makes her feel this good"
By this time he stuck his finger out to play with her again and did not pull back in time as the gold gave his finger a sharp nip. "OW" He grunted lowly and started to suck on the bleeding wound. "The nerve endings seem to be high in my finger as well" He mumbled in amusement.
Standing up now the giant of a man picked up his shield with the kings emblem of favor and his giant greatsword as well. The little gold rolled back over by this time and went pouncing up to Atakai and chewed on his boot. "Come little one" The Giant human attempted to coo with his deep voice. "We have a maneater to hunt and kill. From now on I will train you to be my partner. When you are big and strong you will help me hunt down your evil kin and other monsters that refuse to bend to the laws I set down in this region.
The little gold looked up at her new bonded with innocence, seemingly not understanding. But still listening none the less. "Peace and order will be upheld. For without law, we are nothing but animals" This would be a term the little gold would one day honor and believe as if it was a religion.
Letting his new bonded continue to chew on his leather boot the man turned to Felecia and Jeta. "I do not ask you would come with me. It is my duty to slay the maneater" He trailed off his other words going almost into a wisper. "I just hope the children have not been digested yet. The family will need something to bury.
It was a horrible bussiness. To kill a dragon and cut it open to retrieve human remains for the family. But it was a all to common routine in this region of the land where dragons were becoming more and more common. Especially with those serpents that saw mankind as only a source of food. Being the head slayer in charge of Fort Valor. The only force of the king that was near the elves. It was the task of him and his order brothers and sisters to keep the peace as best they could. He found that dragons liked to think themselves above the laws the race of men set down. And above man as well. Atakai was determined to make dragons fear man once more.
His name is praised among many. And feared by just as many in this reagion of the alagasia. Wich has led him to wonder. What is better? To be feared? Or respected?

Re: Ascension (Open)
Felecia pursed her lips as she listened to Atakai, but decided to remain silent mostly. Since Ebony had died she was a quiet observer rather than the active warrior. Her sapphire eyes hardened, however, when he spoke of a maneating dragon. Her lips peeled back in a harsh smile,"Maneater, eh? Any dragon that feasts on twolegs deserves nothing but a slash across the throat. They give the dragons, and the Dragon Riders as well, a bad name. Lead the way to this beast and I will be happy to assist in its death." she growled angrily. The Eldunari that hung on a silver rope chain around her neck flashed with light. It as Reona that spoke, however, not Ebony. Atakai, I am Reona, dragon-spirit that is bonded to the physically deceased Ebony. My hunting skills are exceptional and I would be happy to help hunt down a member of our kin that has dared stain our reputation with blood and needless death. he spat. Felecia raised an eyebrow. Reona rarely spoke nowadays at all, unless it was to Ebony or her.
- - - - - - - - - -
Jeta snorted and flicked her tail scornfully. Just be careful. She is a part of you now, an equal, bonded to your heart, mind, and soul, just as you are a part of her in the same way. It is inevitable that you two will grow close. She pierced Atakai with her tiny ruby eyes. Don't think of her as a fiercely loyal dog with extremely sharp teeth and claws that also happens to be able to fly and speak. If you do you will have my fury to deal with. she said hotly, and snorted a small plume of metallic red flame that dissipated quickly.

Re: Ascension (Open)
Atakai was happy to hear Felecia say she would assist in the beasts death and said as much. "I am glad to hear you would help me maintain law and order in my lands. And I am honored to have your help my lady. I just wish Sarai would have been as willing. She seems to take joy in protecting those that break the law." Thinking of the woman he could not help but think of Druak. His young friend. Sighing the man added. "She is probably just angry because of what happend to Kdaj. The two of them seemed close when he left. Alas the boy is no doubt dead after the kings army killed all of the blood legion deep in the beor mountains
He did not expect Felecia to know of Kdaj. But then again Sarai was her extended family. So Sarai probably mentioned the young slayer at one point or another. "The boy had great potential as a slayer. A good man. But he was the bastard son of the king. And as the old saying goes. Bad blood flows true"
After hearing the voice of the dead dragon in his mind Atakai could not helpt but become suspitions. "What matter of dark magic is this!? You trap the souls of the dead?" He asked. Almost with a tone of accusation. "It is not right. You must let him pass on from this world. I understand a riders love for there bonded. But you must let go" He encouraged with strong passion in his voice. Jeta he ignored all together. Not really out of disrespect. He just really wanted to deal with the matter of the trapped soul of the dead dragon.
In Atakai's mind to keep the spirit of the dead around and not let them cross over to the afterlife was a selfish evil act. Unles of course that spirit dwelled among the mortal world out of its own free will because of some unfinished bussiness.

Re: Ascension (Open)
Felecia smiled, but her sapphire eyes narrowed dangerously as he spoke down about Sarai. She pursed her lips,"Sarai does what she thinks is right, even if the entire world is against her. She protects those she loves, and others that need it, because she has always been scorned and told that she is not worth the air she breathes and that she is a weakling." her face softened,"Can you blame her for being defiant of laws when law says that she should have been killed at birth?" she said quietly, raising an eyebrow. The eyebrow raised higher when Atakai mentioned Kadaj; yes, she remembered Sarai speaking of him several times,"Might I ask what it was that Sarai did?" she questioned. Both her eyebrows shot up when he accused her of trapping the soul of her dragon. She almost laughed coldly, but Ebony cut her off. Watch your tone when you speak to my Rider, boy. Rider's do not have the power of trapping the dead, unless they are a sorcerer and uses spirits to become a Shade. I chose to stay with her, because she still needs me, as does the Varden. That rectangular, many faceted jewel you see around her neck, wrapped with silver wire on the silver rope chain? That is what I have become, but not because of enchantment. When you are older and have grown closer to your dragon, perhaps then you will learn how I did this. But not now. From what I have seen of you through Felecia's eyes, you are ambitious and willing to use every tool at your command. Remember, my young human friend, ambition can sometimes lead to your downfall. growled the blue-black, the half of the Eldunari that represented him dulling as he retreated from Atakai's mind. Felecia stroked the gem, soothing him. She pursed her lips and looked up at Atakai,"I apologize. Since his physical death, Ebony is very touchy about me." she said quietly.
- - - - - - - - - -
Jeta grinned when Ebony snapped at Atakai, her calm ruby eyes glittering with mischief. She trilled and took to the air, flitting her wings and twittering. Don't take it personally, Atakai. When I was just hatched he would snap at me from time to time for just accidentally scratching Felecia. she chirruped to the human, spinning in mid-air before flaring her tiny wings to hover a bit in front of him. He's always protective of Felecia, especially because he can't do anything to shield her physically when she's in danger. He means nothing by it, he's just frustrated and saddened by the loss of his body. she said, and burbled with laughter in her chest. She squawked indignantly when a small, low heat fireball smacked into her side. It didn't hurt, because her element was fire, but she got the point. She spun around and glowered playfully at the multi-colored jewel around Felecia's neck, which flashed with brilliance from within as both Ebony and Reona laughed. Ebony Silvertalon, that was uncalled for! she twittered, but her eyes gleamed with humor. He laughed, a truly glorious sound because he laughed so rarely these days. It was entirely called for. Talk about me behind my back, will you. Well, that's what you get. he teased. Jeta rolled her eyes and flicked her tail in his direction. Whatever. Your lucky my scales are fire resistant. she chirruped at him, then twitched her wings and dove away.

Re: Ascension (Open)
Atakai could not help but suppress a chuckle. "Sarai seems to see it as her duty to fight against anyone in position of power. What happened to her in the past is just that. In the past. She cant keep on playing the rebel. Without people like me to maintain the law and peace all we will have is chaos. Some people though thrive in chaos." He paused in afterthought about that. "What Sarai did does not matter. I think I will forgive her this one time."
The large man listened as the dragons voice invaded his mind and chuckled. "Ambitious? Only so far as the lands of my homelands. I am a human and need everything at my disposal to help me. So I will not deny what you say. There is good ambition, and evil ambition. I like to think of mine as the first one"
Watching the dragonette, woman, and dragon spirit interact braught warm feelings to Atakai's heart. These were good people. He could think of no better companions to help him find and slay the one responsible for crimes in the human lands.
"Now now children" He joked with a warm friendly voice after the amusing show. "I think we should split up to cover more ground. I can manage well enough on my own and dont want to intrude on what strategys you three have." Atakai knew sometimes throwing a stranger among friends messes up how they do things. "We will meet again near the tree of life"
With that the man left with the hatchling in tow. If only he knew the true workings of the world. Good men never prosper.
Atakai kept moving along in search of the elusive dragon he hunted only to stop as a black robed figure with a hood stood in his way. "Who are you?" Atakai asked. The dark robed stranger replyed blankly with a voice devoid of emotion. "I knew you would come. People like you are so predictable. Present a chance for you to play the hero and without thought you came. Dont worry about the children though. There never was a dragon. I made those tracks for you to follow. And as for the children. I let them go when you entered this wood"
All this talking gave Atakai the chance to draw his weapon. The large man listened but simply asked. "Why?" The dark robed mystery man replyed. "Because you are causing my master a great deal of grief with your extremist crusade to rid the land of evil. Being a hero only brings you one thing"
The cloaked man raised a hand covered with tattered cloth. The shredded ends of tassels dangling in the wind. Atakai was lifted off the ground held up by some invisible force. As the stranger tightened his hand closer into a fist bones in Atakai's body started snapping loudly. The hatchling attacked only to be stomped to death under the strangers boot. When Atakai could not take the pain any longer the stranger finally closed his hand into a fist and Atakai's neck broke. Releasing the magic the broken slayers body fell to the ground.
"And early grave" The stranger finally finished his sentence. Seeing the broken body of the hatchling under his boot twitch a bit more the man gave another firm hard stomp. Reaching into his cloak he pulled out a wisper stone and a voice echoed from it. "Eclypse, is the task done?" The cloaked man simply replyed with a yes. "Good, bring me the mans necklace as proof. You have done well my apprentice. You still have three more tasks though before you are ready. Did he put up a fight?" Eclypse let a smile cross his face. "The giant of Osirus died like a weeping woman. He was no trouble. I shall return to the city when I get the necklace master" The black stone stopped its earie glow and the black cloaked man went up to Atakais body and started to reach down to take his wifes necklace. OCC: Time to kill of Atakai. He bores me. Time to make a evil char.

Re: Ascension (Open)
OOC: Aww, that's sad. This man is going to regret it though...Felecia does not forgive the death of a hatchling, or a Rider, easily, nor does Ebony.IC: Felecia smiled and chuckled, nodding in agreement,"Alright then, see you there." she said, and spread her wings. She lifted into the air and soared on an updraft. Jeta zipped up beside her her shoulder and twittered. I can't find anything noticeable. remarked the dragonette, tiny ruby eyes scanning the forest below carefully for any sign of a passing dragon. The Rider nodded idly. Yes, neither can I. Although the dragon is probably flying, not walking, little one. she replied. Jeta chirped and flitted her wings, darting away in the sky to search in another place. Ebony nudged Felecia's mind urgently. Dear heart, I sense something odd around Atakai. Something dark... he said. Felecia growled and banked around hard, increasing her wingbeats so that she flew over the ground until the trees below her blurred. And then she felt something die. Her sapphire eyes flared with anguish and rage. She knew that pain. She had felt it when her sister died, though not because Ella had been her blood-kin. She had felt a Rider die. Atakai was gone. Perhaps the darling gold hatchling as well. NO! she shrieked. Tears filled her eyes. NO!!! she screamed. Ebony fused into her mind, but he was not alone. Reona was there as well, just as blazingly enraged as her heart-companion was. Her pupils narrowed into cat-like slits as both dragons swirled inside of her, increasing all of her physical abilities by a good twenty percent. She blasted in the direction that she felt the death, drawing her blade, Bluesilver. Whoever had harmed Atakai and the hatchling were going to rue the day they had thought of killing the Pair. Her keen elven eyes picked out a black cloaked man bending down to a broken body on the ground. Atakai. And a little bit apart from him lay the beautiful gold dragoness. Her wings were mangled lumps of blood and bone, marring the translucent gold flight membrane and the sun-gold scales. The tears in her eyes dried as anger at the sight swept through her. She pointed a talon-like finger at the cloaked man,"Thrysta," she hissed, blasting him away from the body of Atakai. She landed in front of the man and checked his vitals, but knew it was in vain. Atakai was dead. She turned to the man, her wings unfurling to either side,"Murderer." she murmured, almost in a normal voice. She set her feet,"You mess with one of us you mess with all of us. I am Felecia Blacksword, bonded companion to Ebony Silvertalon and Reona abr Rauthr. Host to the Shade Zana. Fight me, and die for killing my brother and sister!" she snarled, her sapphire eyes bright with a vicious desire to kill.

Re: Ascension (Open)
OCC: Regret it? Ha, maybe years down the line if he ever turns good. He will be insanely powerful. Wouldent be a proper villain otherwise.
The cloaked man sensed another presence and barely had time to put up a hand to absorb the magic blast. The very force of it causing him to skid backwards on his heals.
Hearing the woman the mystery man grunted. "Great, another crusader" He said sarcastically. "I'm so glad you felt the need to tell me your name. Now I can sleep soundly at night knowing exactly who I am going to kill" The stranger reached up his hands and pulled back the hood revealing his face. He looked human except for the left green dragon like eye. Undoing the clasp to the cloak around his neck the seventeen year old boy shrugged causing the black cloth to fall away to the ground. He was barely armored except for some thin looking pieces of metal on his shins, right forearm, and chest. His left forearm and hand was covered in tattered blood patched cloth. From the dragon like claws where his fingers should be this youth had been bitten by a weredragon recently and was in the early stages of the disease.
The teenager grabbed the sword hilts on his back and pulled out two black elegent elven blades. "Last chance to leave woman" He said sternly. "Your not my mission and I dont like to kill for sport. The boy eyed Felecia up and down and clicked his tounge. "It would be a shame to kill such a buety. But then again I do suppose your body will still be warm. We can have some fun afterwards The boy let out a maniacle laugh at his own sick twisted joke. He had no intention of doing such a thing. It was to dark even for his tastes. But Eclyps liked it when people looked on him as being a dark wretch. It was all just a game to him. Being evil was fun. Or at least acting evil in some cases.
Twirling the two black elven blades in an impressive display of skill the boy finally added. "I dont know why you even bother girl. A weak pethetic wretch like you has no chance against me. You think good always wins? Time to wake up

Re: Ascension (Open)
Felecia only raised an eyebrow at the boy. She pursed her lips, then smiled coldly, her sapphire eyes like chips of ice,"Who said I was on the good side?" she asked the boy, taking a step forward,"I didn't, did I?" she murmured in a low voice. She raised her wings in an aggressive gesture, the russet brown flesh rippling with well built muscle. She wasn't one to talk much, especially after the death of her companion. She preferred action to standing around talking. Her smile widened at his sick joke. She had heard far worse in her time,"I believe I'm a bit old for you, my child." she set her stance, raising her sword into a position that could switch to offense or defence in a moments notice,"Come and get me then." she challenged softly. As she spoke, the Eldunari around her neck flashed once. Felecia blinked, but what she saw didn't fade. She saw a wraith-dragon standing on each side of the boy. One was black, though translucent and see through because of his wraith-like form, and the other a midnight blue with silver talons. Reona and Ebony, respectively. She hid her surprise well. Both dragons were growling thunderously, eyes flashing angrily,"Did I forget to mention that I don't fight alone?" she asked in an undertone, her voice cold. She had one more trick up her sleeve; Zana, her Shade counterpart. But she would keep that to herself for now until she needed to. Are you ready for whenever I need you? she asked Zana within their shared mind. She heard a scoff in reply. Of course I am, Felecia. I could take him right now if you wanted me to. It would be fun. But I'll wait. Better to let you, Ebony, and Reona tire him out. It'll also let you get some anger out of your system. remarked the Shade. Felecia rolled her eyes mentally but agreed, then refocused on the fight. Three seconds had passed in the physical world. She pursed her lips,"Who am I fighting?" she asked curiously. She usually liked to know the name of her opponent so that she could honor them by name, whether they defeated her or vice versa.

Re: Ascension (Open)
The young youth sneered at the woman and her comment. "Actions speak louder then words woman. If your not another dilusioned crusader of justice why be angry at his death?" Looking now towards the dead hatchling he perked up a bit. "OH!.... I see now. Nothing personal I assure you. The youngling was doomed to die when its bonded did. What does it matter how it died?"
At the question of his name the boys smile disapeared. "I do not have a name. I get called many things by my dragon masters. Names are titles given only to the worthy" Turning his head slowly at the sound of cracking branches but not taking his eyes off the woman the boy glanced out the corner of his eye. "Did I mention I dont fight alone either?" He said with a cocky voice.
Moments after another in the same dress as him came crashing out of the trees. But this boy looked more.... battle weary. With the tattered cloak and blood splashes. "Run Eclypse!" Eclypse in turn barked. "You failed!" The boys accomplis leaned over to breath heavily. Drops of blood dripping from a gash on his forehead. "It was not my fault! There were to many of them!" It would be the last thing that youth ever said. With a loud humming veins of electricity danced over the metal collar around his neck. All the youth could do was scream and claw at the thing up to the last moment as his head exploded.
The death of the other apprentice unerved Eclypse. There dragon master sensed the others failure and was.... displeased. Eclypse was suddenly reminded of his mission and the price of failure when his collar was activated. Sheathing his black blades back on his back the youth opened the mutating claw of his hand. The magical necklace around Atakai's neck broke off and went flying through the air into it with a loud smack. "Ta Ta my dear" The boy said. Half gloating. The other half fearful if he failed.
"I have other places to be and things to do." Reaching into a pouch on his waist the boy threw something at the ground that caused everything in the emediat vecinity to be clouded. From countless hours of meditation he had learned the art of sensing spirits. Things no man could kill. All he could hope for was the chance to get away. And if not that. At least get started on the spell to soul forge a spirit to an object making them reletivly harmless unless released.
With the smoke cover he bolted and jumped for a tree branch. Using the momentum he swung through the air with a few flips and landed on a branch with cat like grace. Not waiting he jumped from brach to branch in the attempt to get away. The way he figured it. Who really expected a boy to run away in the trees? Most people would start looking for tracks on the ground.

Re: Ascension (Open)
Felecia did not reply to anything that he said, only stared coldly at him with her flat sapphire eyes. She did not care anymore about justice, although Ebony tried to encourage her to continue supporting the Varden. She only cared that there be no more death. No more killing, spilt blood, torn and forever separated families and loved ones. She raised an eyebrow at the arrival of the new boy, but ignored him almost instantly, especially when his head exploded. Her eyes flared with brief anger as the first boy bid her goodbye and left with Atakai's necklace. She growled deep in her throat and spread her wings, beating them powerfully to clear the air. The wraiths of Ebony and Reona snarled, then faded. Felecia, to your left. He's moving fast. informed Reona. The Rider darted in that direction, beating her wings so that she lifted off the ground and flew a foot from the forest floor. She was stubborn, and she also would not forgive the death of a child. She would not attack right away. The boy had mentioned something like dragon masters. She intended to find out what, or whom, these masters were.
