A Cold Beginning
OOC: If anyone's reading this right now, please don't reply to it yet. Draco is helping me get used to rping, so we're just going to post a couple of times before I give the okay for anyone to join in, okay?
IC: Hobsyllwin blinked her eyes at the sudden brightness of the sun as she woke for a deep state of slumber. She stretched her jaws into a huge yawn, and then looked around. Snow began to fall gently against her silvery-white scales before melting into little droplets of water. The sun was over the horizon, portraying the clouds in blood red and orange colors. She had forgotten she was spending her time in the mountains high above the clouds. I almost forgotten where I was, she murmured to herself. How could I let myself do that? Syllwin stood up and stretched, her muscles feeling tight and sore from sleeping in the same position last night. She then looked around and sniffed the air, hoping to find some kind of meal in the harsh mountain wilderness. Without a sound, she lifted her wings and flapped them a few times to stretch them out a bit before she ran straight off the cliff, her wings still flapping. Into the air she flew, the coldness waking her senses as she descended higher and higher into the sky, towards the Spine range. Syllwin enjoyed her freedom and the sense of being alone. It gave her peace and quiet, and it helped her think. She flew through a cloud and then up above the cloud line. Syllwin’s breath was visible in little wisps of condensation the air was so frigid. It didn’t matter to Syllwin, however. She was able to enjoy flying as high as she could without worrying about the cold or the thin air. After a while, Syllwin, with her excellent eyesight, spotted a herd of deer grazing near the base of a small mountain. She figured there were a few bucks that could be spared. In a swift dive, Syllwin headed for the unsuspecting deer below, trying to avoid rocks and trees. She flexed her claws in anticipation at the sight of the herd, and could hardly wait to have a tasty meal in her jaws before the sun had completely risen. She landed upwind of the deer in a small clearing and began to sneak forward, being stealthy on her claws. If only life were that simple. Just when Syllwin was about to attack, a group of humans had set up their own little ambush on Syllwin. She recognized them; they worked for Galbatorix. She couldn’t do it, not again. She would die before it would happen. Kidnappers! Murderers! Destroyers of life! Syllwin screamed. With a mighty roar, Syllwin whipped around and dodged a spear that was aimed straight at her chest, and tripped the human who did it. Then, she grabbed the first human that she could touch and ripped him to pieces. It would have been easier if there were only a few of them. But these humans traveled in dozens. More humans rushed in like flesh-eating ants on larger prey. In minutes, Syllwin’s back was nearly covered with them. She felt one of their spears stab her side, a flash of pain coursing through her. She let out an agonized roar. It was too much for her; she was skilled, but not an expert when it came to combat. She was afraid that it would be all over and her past would be repeating itself.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Dawn came, and Phalynx was still tracking Galbatorix's army. The evil king had sent hundreds of his men north and into the Spine for an unknown reason, and Phal wanted to find out why. She had set out two days ago to follow the round-ear-two-legs, but she hadn't yet come across them.
Phal flew lower through the trees, the sunlight playing columned shadows across her star-colored hide. Her green eyes suddenly began to glow with gold light, and she used her sight to see how close she was. Still not even an infrared signature! she thought, exasperated. The humans were taking a winding, twisting route through the mountains, and it was hard to follow them from up high. If Phal had had a good sense of smell, she could have tracked them that way, but she had long ago sealed her fate in that area by not using it hardly at all, in favor of her magical powers. Now, she wished she had payed more attention to it. Though Phal was smart, she knew that not practicing with her scent was a mistake.
Phal did see something though. A hollow had been dug out of the snowy ground, and the remains of several campfires were still smoldering inside. The men had obviously camped there the night before. Phal used her rather limited nose to probe the camp. Though she had a very poor sense of smell for a dragon, it was still much better than a human's.
The silver dragoness could smell the round-ear-two-legs, as well as the horses that many of their captains were riding and that they kept their supplies on. The musty scent made Phal's mouth water; she hadn't eaten in a while. She decided to set out once again, and perhaps keep her eyes out for a meal.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Hobsyllwin closed her eyes, anger flooding into her mind when another human stabbed into her back with one of their spears before it was replaced with absolute hatred. Just the thought of defeat sent her into a frenzy of rage. There is no way I am losing to you two-legs! she yelled, shaking her them off of her back. The two-legs shouted in surprise as some of them fell to the ground, before they began to attack Syllwin again. They used their spears again, although most had missed because Syllwin had used her claws to block. Of course, two lodged into her side, and it wasn’t until the rest of them had gotten up before she decided that now would be the best time to make a run for it. Syllwin tried to take off into the sky, but felt the spears and her wounds weigh her down. Painfully, she started to run far away from the two-legs. They started to gain on her pretty quickly, without any hesitation. Get away from me! she shrieked. "Don't let her escape again!" one of the humans, probably the captain, shouted as they gave chase. Syllwin ran over snow-filled rocky terrain as she pulled one of the spears from her side. She noticed that blood had begun to pour out of her side in a steady stream into little pools as she continued onward. In minutes, everything began to spin a little, and her thoughts were disoriented. Oh no, I'm losing too much blood, she fretted. I have to find someplace safe. But where in this time of crisis?

Re: A Cold Beginning
Phal floated peacefully through the pines, enjoying the fresh, cold scent. She suddenly saw the infrared signature of a group of deer. She flashed up and into the sky, knowing that her appearance on the ground would startle them. She watched them as they raced nearer. They seemed scared, as if something had been chasing them, or had spooked them into their run. Oh well, makes my job easier, Phal thought. Panicked deer were easier to catch, for they wouldn't be paying attention to the sky above them as they fled.
Phal edged into a swift dive, pulling her oversized wings up to her body. She grinned wolfishly, her sharp teeth making her look a little scary. The rushing air made her heart race and her blood burn with adrenaline. The treetops came up fast, but Phal was able to twist around them by making miniscule changes to her wings' positions. Her agile body curved around the trees so fast that it was almost unfollowable to the eye.
Phal lashed out with her jaws, picking up a deer in the blink of an eye and racing back upwards in another. She soared back into the sky, flying into her comfort zone, which meant very, very high. She hovered, eating the deer with relish. To disguise herself, she made her scales glow with silver light. To onlookers from the ground, she would appear like a star. Of course, no stars were visible at this time of day, but Phal was counting on that. She wanted to be known, she wanted to have a reputation, and by always coming down on her enemies like a shooting star, she would do just that.
As Phal hovered, she noticed something odd in the distance.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: I think people can join now, if they want...okay with you, Draco? Or do you want to wait?
IN:
The humans seemed to never tire. Hobsyllwin could see that they were intending to capture her and bring her back to Galbatorix. That would never happen again, not while her heart was beating. That hiding spot... Syllwin detected a ledge just off to her left, about fifteen feet high, give or take. If she could just get herself onto that ledge, then it would make the chase for the humans more difficult to climb it and get her. With as much strength as she could muster, Syllwin flapped her wings and floated to the ledge, where she hooked her claws into the jaggedy rocks. "It's getting away!" some of the humans cried from below. "She'll fall," the captain assured them. "Look how much blood she's lost! She'll be easy to track eventually." Amidst her confidence that she would make it up the cliff, horror struck her. She had realized that it would come to pass that she wouldn't have enough strength to barely walk. Her wounds would become infected and the bloody trails she would leave behind... She shivered at the very thought. Syllwin climbed the rest of the way, looking straight up into the sky. It may have been the blood loss, but Syllwin could have sworn that a shooting star visible in the daylight streamed above her. As Syllwin nearly made it to the top, she felt darkness closing in around her conciousness, despite her will to stay awake. In a matter of minutes, she'd fall to the waiting humans below.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: After I rescue you. How about after my next post after this, if anyone's even on here, lol. IC: Phal saw the infrared signature of a large group of soldiers in a clearing near a cliff. On the cliff, she saw something else. A dragon! she thought, heart beating faster. Phal's eyes narrowed dangerously and began to glow. She snapped up the rest of her meal in a single bite, swallowed, and roared. Her roar wasn't especially powerful, she was, after all, only about two years old. However, it resonated with power and bravery. Phal would never stand for the attacking of another of her kind!
The silver dragoness swooped into a steep dive, and then pulled up slightly, moving diagonally towards the soldiers and their quarry. You shall regret this day, humans! she cried angrily. The soldiers looked around, unsure of where the voice had come from. They finally began pointing up and shouting as soon as they noticed her.
The men drew away for a few moments, confused by Phal's glowing appearance. Perhaps they had heard of her already. Phalynx grinned, and pulled to a halt above their heads. The captain began shouting urgently, and the soldiers aimed their bows. They didn't have enough time, and Phal let a blast of starfire rain down on their heads.
When the flame cleared, Phal flapped backwards in shock. The men were completely unharmed! Gah! This must be one of Galbatorix's spells. Their armor must be enchanted against dragonfire, my starfire included! Phal thought. Though the spell probably encompased all forms of dragonfire, Phal wouldn't be surprised if Galbatorix had made sure it included her own starfire. They had crossed paths before.
Phalynx didn't let this setback get in her way. She twirled around in the air in a backwards flip from her hovering position and dove down, attacking the soldiers instead with her claws and tail. She felt them fall beneath her, and she knew that many were still terrified of her. They had never seen a dragon like this before, and even though Phalynx was pretty small, her magic abilities more than made up for that. Hold on! Phalynx called to the dragoness on the cliffside, noticing that she looked about ready to faint from bloodloss.
Phal roared again, and this time the remaining soldiers scattered. She would deal with them later, but for now she needed to see to the injured dragoness. Phal ignored her own small wounds for now, they weren't important. She approached the dragoness curiously. Her silvery-white scales were similar to Phal's scales, and her wings looked strong.
Hello? Can you hear me? Phal said softly, bending down over the injured dragon.OOC: Oo, that turned out longer than I thought it would. lol

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Yeah. Alright then, that works! lol
Hobsyllwin blinked her eyes a couple of times before she completely opened them. Someone had called to her, or at least, she thought they had. She looked up to see a young dragoness looking down at her, her eyes sparkling with a green of intellegence Syllwin had never seen before. Her scales were silver, somewhat close to her own scales, and there was a mysterious yet mystical aura about this dragoness. Syllwin looked around to see that none of the humans remained below. They had gone. This dragoness must have chased them off. In spite of her awe, Syllwin felt mistrust sweep over her better judgement. It could have been a trick, and Syllwin knew far too well that easy trusting would lead her into a trap. Not only that, but Syllwin's ego was wounded. A dragon a few years younger than her was able to scare off humans by herself. It could have been such an easy task! I didn't need your help, if that's what you're wondering, Syllwin growled at the dragoness ferociously and stubbornly as she tried to get up but failed miserably. I was fine on my own. I had those humans right where I wanted them.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Phal cocked her head, backing away a few paces. She grinned. I know, but I just wanted to help. It's not your fault that you almost bled to death; I'm sure if you didn't have those nasty wounds you'd be quite capable of dealing with them. Besides, I think they're just regrouping, I didn't really scare them off, she said in a friendly tone.
I'm Phalynx, and I mean you no harm and wish to help you, Phal said, saying the second part in the Ancient Language. Even if the dragoness didn't understand it, she would understand the meaning. Phal could sense her mistrust, and she didn't want her to feel that way. The starry dragoness had never wished harm without cause, and was notorious for trying to help everyone she could. It's part of who I am... Phal remembered, thinking of her journey to the east. She had discovered her true name on her quest, and she now understood herself better than ever. She would not harm this dragon, and was determined to make her see that.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Don't forget: Syllwin's eye can change color, in this case, maybe yellow for frustration.
Syllwin narrowed her eyes at this...Phalynx. The young dragoness's attitude only fed to her frustration. Despite the fact that Syllwin had never trusted another soul in her life after what had happened, it was clear that this dragoness meant her no harm, and only offered her kindness. Syllwin felt grateful that the dragoness had saved her. She hadn't met any one else who was willing to help her in her life until now. In fact, Syllwin wanted to possibly become friends with Phalynx someday. However, her stubborness and pride won over that. She felt her eye change color as her frustration continued to grow.
Yeah, well...I guess, she admitted, grudgingly. I suppose I should thank you at least. It's nice to get away from Galbatorix's men once in a while.
I'm Syllwin. Now that we've been aquainted, I'll just be on my way. Just because you saved my life doesn't mean I'm going to be spending any more time around this place, she added, standing up on weak knees. I need to get that dictator off my tail before he finds me. I can't do it. Not again.
Syllwin took two steps forward before collapsing, her sides heaving.
Stupid wounds, she muttered to herself.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Phal watched the dragoness with interest, seeing her eye suddenly change color. With her emotions? she guessed as she sensed the tension rise as well as Syllwin's eye change to yellow. Phal was about to inquire about what Syllwin meant when the dragoness fell to the ground.
I know you don't want to stick around, but perhaps we should heal your wounds first? I'm pretty sure I can start a healing spell on my own now, and I can definately keep it up if I get it going. Do you mind if I try? Phal said with concern. She didn't like seeing the other dragon in pain, it made her own hide sting. Phalynx's compassion kept her from asking Syllwin about what she meant by "not doing something again." She could guess that it had something to do with Galbatorix, but wasn't sure what.
Once you're healed you can get out of here, but these soldiers will probably keep tracking you even when you've left. They probably have Galbatorix's magic to aide them, and probably even magic users, Phal said, and then laughed. They'll probably be after me as well. I'm a wanted criminal back in the Empire, after Galbatorix discovered my existance and my allegiance, she said, amused.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Syllwin was about to protest, when she felt her wounds flash with pain. She cringed, but didn't show her agony. If she didn't accept Phalynx's help, she might end up dying from her wounds and that would just be absolutely mental.
Well, when you put it that way, how can I say no? she whispered, resting her head against her claws. Defeat was hard to admit, especially for Syllwin. She hated feeling vulerable and weak in front of her own kind, but what else could she do?
Then, Syllwin looked at Phalynx. What have you done to get yourself wanted by Galbatorix? She felt herself become embarrassed. Er, sorry, I didn't mean to pry. Forget I said anything. I'll just shut up now.
Syllwin felt hypocritical, especially since Phalynx didn't ask anything personal of her. It would be wrong to do that. Syllwin figured she should keep quiet until she was all healed up.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Phalynx laughed. Oh no, it's fine. I'd be glad to tell you all about it. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, after all. However, I think I'd better try to heal you up first, Phal said.
Phalynx examined Syllwin's wounds. They weren't deep, but they were long, and had managed to hit a lot of veins, resulting in high blood loss. I think I can heal those... Phal said to herself. She stood back and held herself still. Her eyes began to glow once more as she used her magic vision. She could see trails and flows of magic around them, now all she needed to do was manipulate it enough to make it heal.
Phal thought only of healing Syllwin; nothing else mattered, just heal the dragon. She pulled some of the wild magic to her, letting her thoughts intertwine with it. Concentrate... Phal thought. Though she could not actually use the Ancient Language to start a healing spell, she did have the ability to slightly manipulate existing magic to her will. Now, if only she could bend it enough to make it heal!
Phalynx felt the magic start to change, and she felt her own energy drain with it as she changed it. She directed it towards Syllwin, and allowed it to flow over the dragoness's wounds. It wrapped itself into them, and Phal finally let go of it. She had successfully initiated a healing spell! Now, all she had to do was keep it going, and that was the easy part.
So, you want to know why I'm an enemy of Galbatorix, do you? Well, it's quite a tale, I suppose. There are actually quite a few of us opposing Galbatorix. I guess the main enemies would probably be the Royal Family of dragons of the Dragon Mountain, which is in the Beors. I'm the half-sister of the King of Dragon Mountain, and the son of the Great Dragon, Faefnir. We only differ in our fathers. I've met some other dragons who aren't really connected with Dragon Mountain on my travels as well, and most of them are my friends. There are also more evil dragons and riders than the Empire'd have you believe, Phal said, explaining a few things.

Re: A Cold Beginning
The whole ordeal of her wounds being treated left Syllwin awe-struck. She watched as the wounds began to heal slowly, but with satisfying results. The pain was ebbing, and Syllwin could think a little more clearly.
This feels so much better, Syllwin thought to herself. I'm glad I swallowed my ego and allowed Phalynx to treat me.
Once the wounds were completely healed, Syllwin stood up, the pain completely gone. She flexed her claws and moved her wings a little to check and make sure she didn't damage anything else in that battle.
When Phalynx explained a little about why she was wanted by Galbatorix, she felt her eyes widen a little. That's quite a story within itself, she commented. Then she narrowed her eyes. I suppose, she added. If you want to explain the whole story, may I suggest we find a more secluded spot? No doubt Galbatorix recieved word of your arrival and my escape, and those humans are bound to come back at any moment.
Syllwin knew that Phalynx was right about one thing; knowledge was wonderful. She loved to learn as much as she could, and what the dragoness had hidden behind what little she said made Syllwin hunger more. Of course, it would mean spending more time with Phalynx, but maybe she could get a sense as to what was really going on in Galbatorix's plans for the dragons, and what Phalynx's part played in all of this.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Phalynx nodded. Definately. Those soldiers will be back, and I suspect they're up to something more as well, she said. She opened her large wings, which looked somewhat cumbersome on the ground, but now looked as beautiful and graceful as a comet's tail. She flapped once, all that was needed to lift off from the ground, and let the air currents carry her into the sky. She knew that Syllwin would follow; the dragoness seemed quite curious, despite her rather gruff outside. Phal could sense a kindred spirit in her; a curious dragoness who sought information as often as she sought food.
Phal spoke to Syllwin as soon as the silvery-white dragon was with her in the air. I can see a perfect spot to rest and perhaps talk on the other side of this cliff. If you'll join me, I'll show you where it is, Phal said. She was actually looking straight through the mountain itself, one part of her larger gift. She began circling around the steep cliff, heading towards a ledge on the other side. The ledge was surrounded on three sides by empty space, and on the other by thick, dark pine trees. The humans would have a hard time getting through them, and Phal would be able to see them coming. It seemed like a good spot to her.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Syllwin nodded and followed Phalynx off into the sky, marveling the enormous wings she carried for being so little. When Phal explained of a place they were going to rest, Syllwin wondered how Phal could see a spot anywhere! There wasn't anything beyond the mountain, as far as she could tell. She hadn't been this far before.
Syllwin continued to fly with Phal until there indeed was a place of rest on the other side. She began to wonder whether Phal had been in a place like this, or maybe there was something the young dragoness wasn't letting on about.
They circled the ledge that seemed pretty concealed by any enemy encounters as far as Syllwin could tell. She and Phal landed softly on the ledge and got comfortable.
I imagine there must be more to this tale you have instore for me, Syllwin commented, looking sideways at Phal. You know, she murmured, I've never, exactly, told my story to anyone before. You seem so open; and I do owe you a favor for saving me. You must be curious as well as to why Galbatorix's men were chasing me. Once you're done telling me your story, perhaps, I shall share mine, she admitted. But who knows? Maybe there won't be anything to tell, she added more to herself than to Phal.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Phal landed on the ledge, folding her wings as well as she could along her sides. You do not need to tell me anything if you don't want to. I enjoy sharing my knowledge, and I hope that it can help you. So I will continue, she said with a smile and sparkling eyes.
I was hatched from an egg in the Hadarac Desert not yet two years ago, and I soon met my half-brother, his mate Star Gazer, their family friends Emrhyst and Aelir, their children Teranor and Navarre, and several others. I also discovered my powers. You see, I can see all forms of light, magic's true form, shadow's true form, and a few other things. I also possess this gift: Phal said, and demonstrated her starfire, which, true to its name, looked like burning starlight. That is my starfire, and it is the only dragonfire that can harm ghostly creatures and shadow creatures. I thought you should know what I can do. I want you to know that you can trust me, even if you will not for some time, she said.
Anyway, I joined my family and friends in many missions to help stop all evils in Alagaesia, including Galbatorix. I have directly opposed him, in fact. I wouldn't be surprised if I was on his "most wanted" list, as well as the rest of the Royal Family. Actually, I was on one such mission when I met you. I've been tracking these soldiers north for quite some time now, though there are quite a few more than just the ones that attacked you. I suppose those are telling the rest about me and you as we speak, Phal finished. She knew that gaining this dragoness's trust would be harder than usual, so she decided that openness and honesty would be her approach. What harm could come of it? Even if this dragon's mind was being controlled by Galbatorix, she wasn't spilling anything he didn't already know. Syllwin didn't seem like she was being controlled, though.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Syllwin listened to Phalynx's tale with complete interest, engrossly absorbed by her words. She had never heard of powers such as these, certianly not those that could actually "see" shadow's true form. Even her starry breath was breathtaking. She had only seen dragons that could breath fire. It was hard for Syllwin to accept these things Phal was telling her, but If what she said was true, then this dragoness was on the side of good. Trust began to build within Syllwin's heart, even if she tried to shove it away with all of her might. If this dragon wanted to capture her, she would have already done it by now. Galbatorix worked fast.
What you've told me was utterly amazing, Syllwin said quietly, awe trickling into her tone. So many questions...but saved for another day, I suppose. And you're right; I don't want to tell you anything, but that doesn't mean you don't deserve to know why Galbatorix's men were chasing after me.
My real name is Hobsyllwin. Mind you, I never much cared for the Hob at the beginning, she said with complete disgust. I've lived alone all my life, and I've felt pretty content to it. However...a little while back...
Syllwin struggled for words. It was hard to be open with someone, even if it was a small porportion of the entire story.
I was captured by Galbatorix, she whispered. He wanted me because...I discovered I had an ability, although it's uniqueness doesn't reach your abilities' status.
Syllwin concentrated hard on a picture of a bird, a small little blue bird, and thought nothing but that. In front of her, the little bird came to life, fluttering about Phal's head for a few seconds before it disappeared as if it were never there.
I can create illusions, Syllwin panted, a little of her energy drained. That's the first time I've been able to do it since I escaped.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: I'll join up I guess.
IC: Bahamut roared in anger, he opened his giant maw and released hellish flames upon a group of soldiers. Heh, I'm starting wonder if coming this far from the desert was such a smart idea. It cant be helped...food is scarce there. Besides... this is entertaining. Large amount of men surrounded him and in the back rows were basiltas with chains. What are they going to do, capture me? Ha...foolish humans. He released more flames targeted at the seige weapons. He did get most of them, but not all. The remaining ones managed to fire, the giant arrow pierced one of his wings. He roared out, the soldiers began pulling on the chain. He grunted at the pain. Bahamut reached out and grabbed the chain and pulled with all his might. The basilta went flying and the arrow was ripped out of his wing. Great... I wont be able to fly out of here and I to deal with the huge amount of two-legs. I havent had this much fun in a while.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Hey Daidrea! IC: Phalynx smiled warmly at Syllwin's words. Don't worry, I'll just call you Syllwin, she said in good humor. She watched, intrigued, as the dragoness created a perfect magical replica of a blue bird, allowing it to flutter by Phal's face for a few moments before it disintegrated.
That was quite a wonderful piece of magic, Syllwin. It is unique as far as I know. Only dragons who know magic, and there aren't many of them, would be able to do that. But you can do it without words or anything. It's also quite amazing that you've lived on your own. I've always had my friends, I don't know what I'd do without them, Phal said with interest.
Galbatorix is a terrible person. That you or any dragon was captured by him is an outrage! That is one of the reasons I fight against him; to keep dragons safe and allow our kind to flourish once again. If you don't mind my asking, how old are you? Phal asked, wondering how much this dragon had experienced in her life. She didn't seem much older than Phal, and she wondered how Syllwin had dealt with the mad king on her own at such a young age.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Hello there! Nice to see someone new!
IC: Syllwin was surprised that Phalynx thought her ability was meant something, especially since she had truly remarkable talents. She had never even known that in order to produce magic one must say a language or somewhere along those lines. It made her wonder about that...
Friends do sound good, Syllwin admitted quietly, but with the luck I've had since I practically hatched...She shook her head. That's why it was so hard to trust you; no matter who I turned to, they seemed to betray me sometime later down the road.
Yes, I quite agree. I, too, would fight for our kind in the hopes of seeing our kind flying in the sky without fear, without worry that at some turn they could come across darkness, Syllwin stated, her chest puffing out a bit. You know, I never realized we had that in common.
Syllwin hesitated before answering. I'm about five years old, technically, since I hatched. I was captured when I was about three, and kept there for a year. I managed to escape and stay hidden for another year. It was tough, but I managed, she added in a quiet voice.
She paused from speaking, cocking her head to one side as something echoed across the mountain.
Did you hear something? she asked. I could have sworn it was a roar...

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Hi lol
IC: Bahamut was either stomping or breathing fire to deal with mass amount of soldiers, thats all he could really do because of his size. Archers began arrive and they took post in hills above the clearing Bahamut was in. They began firing at him, he roared in pain as razor arrows pierced his body. In retaliation he launched fire at where he coud see any archers, but it wasnt much good for they either ducked in cover or more just replaced them. He growled out, Accursed humans you will burn! OOC: Hrm.. Short.. Al I can think of atm.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: lol, sorry, I was caught, so I had to leave. IC: Phalynx nodded sympathetically. Syllwin had obviously been through a lot in her life. It was time she caught a break. You don't have to worry about me betraying you. I have no thoughts at all of joining Galbatorix or any other evil force, she said, standing up straighter. Phal was definately a very "heroic-minded" dragon, and she preferred to keep it that way.
Hmm, I didn't notice anything, but perhaps I'll go check it out with my special vision, she said with some amusement. Phal jumped straight up from the ledge and caught herself with her wings, soaring up and to a better vantage point. Now that she was up here and paying attention, she could hear something. Something was going on.
Phal scanned the surrounding area, and jerked her head up in surprise. Bahamut! I wonder why he's here? she said to herself. Syllwin, there is a dragon being attacked by the soldiers. His name is Bahamut; we've met several times before. I'm going to go tell him about the soldier's dragonfire-proof armor, though I'm sure he can deal with them himself. He's rather large, you see, she informed Syllwin. She began to fly towards the commotion, not waiting to see if the silvery dragoness would follow. Phal would be back in either case.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: lol, no wonder it was so sudden! I figured you were just tired and wanted to go to bed. Oh well, you replied!
IC: Syllwin didn't answer Phalynx. Phal sounded so sincere about her loyalties, but the doubt that lingured in the back of Syllwin's mind was too hard to ignore. Her basic instinct was to distrust anyone she wasn't close to, and she's lived by that principle for a year now. Syllwin decided to keep her distance...for now. If she were to become friends with Phalynx, she could get to know her a little better, and perhaps maybe find a way to disprove her doubt. But she couldn't doubt the honesty in Phal's voice when she said she would never join Galbatorix, that was for certian.
Syllwin watched as Phal flew into the sky for a few seconds, scanning the terrain for anything strange about the roar she had heard not too long ago. When Phal explained the situation with this dragon, Bahamut, Syllwin was surprised. So she wasn't alone in this after all. Galbatorix must definately have a plan for the dragons with strange abilities.
She watched Phal take off in the direction she spotted the dragon with wonder. She was willing to go help another dragon in need, even though it wasn't any of her business. Maybe what she was saying was indeed the truth. Syllwin shook her head quickly before taking off after Phal.
I'm going with you, Syllwin insisted as she caught up with the dragoness. I know this isn't my fight, and I know that I don't know this, what was his name...Bahamut. But I can't let you go by yourself when I can help you. I'll...feel guitly, she mumbled.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Bahamut was actually becoming tired. He also began to realize that some of the soldiers he thought he killed with his flame managed to survive. Not most of them but some. He was slightly shocked on how that could be. However now was not the time to be thinking of these things, it was not looking good for him. Another Basilta launched from behind him and this one went straight inot his back. He roared out in agony, Bahamut dropped to one knee...panting.
OOC: Btw Astral, if you dont know, Bahamut is a bipedal(two-legged, hindlegs) dragon.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Phalynx did a quick 360 degree spin in the air to check behind her when she heard Syllwin come up. The very fact that she kept going at the same speed and wasn't thrown off course by the maneuver was testamount to her aerial agility. Sometimes having rather large wings was nice.
I don't mind if you come, it would be a great help. Now, let's go help Bahamut! she cried, diving down into a steep spiral and looking for a good point of entry. Phal, though she didn't say anything, was very pleased with Syllwin's insistance upon joining her. It proved that the dragoness had a good heart inside of her, which was one of Phal's tests, in a way. Phalynx didn't trust dragons unless they had a good heart.
The star-colored dragoness herself was at the moment illuminating her scales to blinding proportions. The men on the ground who noticed her began screaming and covering their eyes, temporarily blinded by the shining silver. Phal roared and swiped several of them into a stand of trees with her tail, and slashed at a couple more with her hind claws.
Bahamut, these men have dragonfire-proof armor. I believe it to be a spell of Galbatorix, created just for this purpose. Your fire won't be very useful, except for perhaps blowing soldiers into trees. By the way, this is Syllwin, and she's on our side, Phal said between strikes, hoping she had relayed all the necessary information to the gigantic dragon.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: No, I didn't know; thanks for letting me know, Daidrea IC:
Syllwin felt a surge of new energy pulse through her in rhythm with her wings as she soared with Phalynx towards the invading humans. She had been waiting for this day for quite some time. Now that she had two dragons to help her, defeat of these humans will be easier than taking them on alone. She watched Phal strike a group into some nearby trees while she explained the situation to Bahamut about the dragonfire-proof defense, and introducing Syllwin.
Pleased to meet you, Bahamut, Syllwin stated briefly before she joined in the fight.
Syllwin used her own battle skills to evade two humans who snuck upon her with swords.
Take that, stupid two-legs! Syllwin yelled with glee, haven’t feeling so optimistic since her freedom. How do you like a taste of your own medicine?
The three dragons battled with the humans, but it was trickier to do without being able to use fire breath. Syllwin knew that it wouldn’t work, but she could at least try to breath ice on them. After all, it wasn’t affected by dragon fire.
Here goes nothing! Syllwin roared, flying into the sky before taking a deep breath and unleashing ice breath onto their attackers.
She watched as her ice breath encased the humans in large blocks of ice. They froze and fell to the ground, shattering into a million pieces. Syllwin continued to use her ice breath as an advantage, feeling confident that she could finish the battle with one more breath, until she came across a human who wasn’t affected by ice. No matter how hard she tried, Syllwin couldn’t encase the human.
“It’s been a long time, Hobsyllwin,” the human male shouted, pulling out his sword from his sheath. “Aw, come on, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten me?”
Syllwin paused in the air before landing on the ground, horror flooding over her. You’re…you’re the captain of Galbatorix’s army!
“I’m so touched,” the captain spat with heavy sarcasm. “One of the only dragons I’ve ever seen with ice breath has managed to remember me, after what happened a year ago back at Galbatorix’s castle.”
Don’t you dare bring that up again, filthy creature! Syllwin hissed, taking a step closer. Let me guess, your armor’s been enhanced for my ice breath?
“Made especially by Galbatorix himself,” he stated proudly with a smug smile across his expression. “I’ve come to recollect you, and bring a couple of extra prizes along for myself, if I so choose.” His eyes crossed over to look at Phalynx and Bahamut. “But Galbatorix misses you, Hobsyllwin. I suggest you agree to come with me before something drastic happens to your buddies here.”
Syllwin was shaking with rage. You go back to the hole you crawled out from, stinking human. I would rather die than be captured. In this case, I’m fighting my way out.
Syllwin reached out for the captain to hit him across his skull and bust it open, but a shield protected him. Syllwin backed up a couple paces next to Phalynx and Bahamut from the counter attack.
“How disappointing,” the captain murmured as he began to disappear. “Well, I’m sure we’ll meet up again really soon, you can count on that.”
He had vanished from sight completely, and then his aura was gone along with him.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Sorry I took so long...been busy.
Bahamut was rather annoyed how they greeted him, as if they were on a casual get together. Pleased to meet you? He almost felt like giving a piece of his mind if it werent for the giant metal arrow lodged in his back. He snorted, great how am I supposed to kill them if my fire doesnt work? Stomp on them? Easier said than done...
OOC: That's really all I got, cant do much atm.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Bahamut seemed annoyed when Phal and Syll greeted him, which simply amused Phalynx. She flashed from one spot to the other across the battlefield, slashing and swiping at approaching soldiers. They could not keep up with her, except for their arrows. A few had pierced her wing membrane, and one was lodged uncomfortably in her tail, but it was quickly removed with a swipe of her hind foot.
Phal suddenly noticed Syll's ice breath work against several of the humans, and she celebrated a brief moment of triumph that they had an effective magical weapon. That triumph was shortlived when she saw Syllwin confront what appeared to be Galbatorix's Captain. Hmm, this could be interesting, Phal thought. If one of the most important members of Galbatorix's army was here, these soldiers must be on an important mission.
The Captain disappeared with magic, disappointing Phal. She had wanted to confront him as well. As soon as he left, the other soldiers began to retreat into the thickness of the trees, hoping to escape the three dragons. Perhaps they hoped to regroup and surprise attack the dragons later. Phalynx decided not to wait for that, and she followed the retreating humans, dashing in for a brief attack and the swooping away. She was able to avoid every tree, even with her impressive wingspan, and she was even having some fun. However, her fun was ruined when an arrow hit her underneath of her shoulder joint. Though the wound wasn't very dangerous, it was quite painful, and Phal retreated to a safe distance in order to pry the thing out carefully. Ouch! she said to herself, grumbling as she pulled out the arrow. I hope the others are having better luck. That thing hurt! she thought.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: I'll join if it's alright. My characters are a dragon and her rider. I've probably messed up the order also, so just tell me who i need to go after and i will remedy the situation.
IC:Kit woke up to the bright sun shining through the trees. The fire had gone out during the night and he was alittle chilled. I wonder where Shyara’s got to? he thought to himself, probably off getting breakfast for the two of us. He didn’t care to call her because he knew that out of the two of them, she could take care of herself better than he could himself. “Well I guess I should get some wood for the fire” he said aloud to no one. He gathered several bundles of wood and when he was headed back to the forest he saw the sapphire and emerald sparkles on the trees that meant that Shyara had return. He turned around as she finished coming over the sheer cliff. Finally your back, he rubbed his stomach, I’m starving. Shyara looked at him, then tore the buck’s head off and threw it to him. He looked down at it then back at her. Fine, I’ll trade you, she said. Thank you, Kit said as she traded the head for the back strips, Oh and can you start this fire please? He added. She bent down, opened her mouth, and let her blood red flame pour over the logs; Kit put his breakfast on a spit and started to roast it. Shyara sat by the cliffside and worked on chewing up the rest of the animal with her serrated teeth. She let her gaze wonder through the sky till she saw something she thought was abit odd. Hey look, two suns. Shyara, I know that it’s only been one year since you hatched, but I also know that you laid in your egg for seven thousand years, so I know that you know there is only one sun, Kit said to her. Well it looks like it to me, there’s a bright spot there and another over there and the one is moving very fast. She noticed Kit’s suspicious expression, after she felt his disbelief leak across their connection. If you don’t believe me come and look and you can also see the light-shadow behind it. Kit got up and walked over to the ledge and looked up. He could see the two ‘suns’ that Shyara had seen, the moving one looks more like a Dragon! He shouted both across the mental link and out loud. He took another step backward but there was nothing there and he fell over the cliff face. Shyara jumped up and looked over the edge, I have plenty of time, she folded her wings against her back and jumped out and did a back flip, which she turned into a dive. When she was level with him, she said, Get on! He reached over and pulled himself onto her neck. I can’t put my wings out at this speed, the wind could rip them off or they could catch the cliff, she thought, so I guess I have to do my special landing. She called it her special landing because she had never seen another dragon do it; as a matter of fact she had never seen another dragon, that’s why she didn’t recognize the two in the air. When they were seconds from the ground, she pulled herself around so she faced upward, and slightly flared her wings. She slammed into the ground hard, but her strong back legs were well suited to take it. The impact sent a ripple up her and Kit’s bodies. Kit loosened his grip for a second, Let’s go get my sword and then we can go see what those dragon’s are up to. Shyara agreed and, while still standing on her hind quarters, dug her claws into the cliff side and started to crawl up, until she felt thermals picking up speed; then she opened her massive wings and let go, letting the thermals carry her up with a few stokes of her wings. When they reached the top Kit jumped down, gathered his sword and dagger, and threw dirt on the fire. Can you fit through the trees? She walked over and looked inside, the trees formed a dense roof, but the trunks were far apart, Yes, she said. Okay, stay low and close to me, don’t show yourself, till I give the okay. Shyara nodded and they slipped into the trees and approached where the dragons had landed; the growth became too thick so Shyara had to remain back a little ways. Kit knew she would not be found, he and she could make themselves disappear, not literally, if they wanted; they had slipped past Galbatorix’s gaze and knowledge.
OOC: I left it the way i did incase you wanted this to be a dragon's only story, that way i could make it, since no one notices them till i do something else, as if they were never part of the story.

OOC: (to Daidrea) Oh, that's okay; I have a lot of those days too. (to Kit) The order will be me, Daidrea, Draco, and Kit. And it's all one story, we'll notice you, don't worry. Just bring yourself in whenever convienent.
IC:
Syllwin could not believe what she had just seen. The captain of the army was looking for her! What in the world did Galbatorix want with her now? She wasn't anything special; she was just a regular dragon who minded her own business. She shook her head. Her past was coming back to haunt her, no matter how far she kept it buried in the back of her mind.
Syllwin noticed Phalynx chasing after some humans who were retreating in the undergrowth and Bahamut was glaring at both her and Phal, for some reason. She didn't care in the least at the moment. She knew that her place wasn't here. Phal seemed like a noble dragon and Bahamut...well, she didn't know him well enough to make a judgement call. But even if that were the case, they didn't need to be mixed up with the likes of her. Her past was too dark for any dragon to trust her. She had to get out of there.
Phalynx won't understand, she said to herself sadly. If she sticks around with me, Galbatorix will capture her too. Bahamut isn't exactly aquainted with me yet, so he'll be fine without me.
Despite Syllwin's gruff personality, she felt sorry that she was about to abandon Phalynx. But she knew it would be for the better good, especially if no one knew of her trecherous past. It was better left lying in the dirt.
Syllwin closed her eyes and took off into the sky as fast as she could with a heavy heart.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: may i join? im only using my dragon for this rp though.
Ciar had been waiting far off from the battle, growing bored with every passing second. Where is that blasted two-leg?! Cair thought in annoyance. Just then the Captain appeared not two wing beats from Ciar. Bowing low, the man came forward and spoke, "It is not good. There are three dragons in all. The one we want is there but she is with one other dragoness and one dragon." Enraged by the news, Ciar released a small jet of flame at the round-ear-two-leg. Even though the man was protected from Syllwin's ice breath, he was hardly protected from Ciar's fire. As the man screamed as his lower armor turned black, Ciar hummed.
I just love how defenceless some creatures are. Not me though, I am most well suited for battle. Ciar thought as his humming increased. Just then, he spotted something moving in the distance, it was Syllwin! YOU FOOL! Ciar bellowed, YOUR LETTING HER GET AWAY! As Ciar continued to mentally assult the Captain, he roared in the direction of the flying dragon. Then Ciar stood up and prepared to take flight.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: LOL, too dark? Have you seen Bahamut's bio? Not trying to critisize you, but I couldnt help but chuckle at that haha. Take a look seriously. viewtopic.php?f=55&t=6885You can look at my epic application too if you wish if you want to learn more. But yeah, like Phal has the nickname Dragoness of the Stars...Bahamut's is Demon of the Dragons. Like I said, not shooting you down or anything, just thought that would be some imput for when you next post. Trust me...Bahamut is far from being nobel. I mean, can you see him in the picture I have for my sig? Btw, welcome Gavina!

Re: A Cold Beginning
My bad! I went back and edited that. Sorry about that, I'll have to go and look at his bio. Oh, about Syllwin's past...okay, it's not that dark but it's still pretty bad. If you want to look at something I'm writing 'Trecheries of the Past - Hobsyllwin's Past' (under FanFiction), it'll tell you why she acts this way and what I meant by her 'past'.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Welcome, to both the new people! IC: After finally exctracting the painful arrow, Phal looked around in time to see Syllwin leaving. Syllwin! Wait! Where are you going?! Phal called, and began flying over to the departing dragoness. She suddenly heard a roar behind her. She turned back and noticed the infrared signature of a dragon behind the trees, preparing to take flight.
It took her a moment, but she realized that the enemy dragon was Ciar, a dragon she had met before under very bad circumstances. He and his rider, the daughter of Galbatorix, had been trying to capture her. She growled low under her breath, but still flew as fast as she could to catch up with Syll.
Her large wings allowed her to come up even with Syllwin fairly quickly. Syll, for now, I'll leave the question of why you're leaving for later, but at the moment we have more important things to deal with. The enemy has a dragon working with them. His name is Ciar, and he is bonded to the daughter of Galbatorix himself. I've fought him before, when he was trying to capture me, and now it looks like he's been assigned to capture you. We have to either leave immediately or fight back, but you cannot go alone, Phal said. The speech was fairly longwinded, but she needed to relay the importance of sticking together for now to the silvery-white dragoness.
Phal glanced back to see what Bahamut was doing, and if Ciar had taken flight yet. To her horror, she saw another dragon and rider in the shadows of the trees and off to the side. She only now noticed their heat signatures, but they didn't seem to have a threatening demeanor. No dark magic was attracted to them. Syll, there's another rider and dragon back there! I'm going to go get them out of there, so that they aren't attacked. Please don't leave! Phal said urgently, and then turned completely around in less than a second.
Phal dashed as quickly as her immense wings could carry her back to the rider and dragon. Luckily, they seemed far enough out-of-the-way to avoid being seen and retreat if they so chose. Phal stopped before she reached them, so as not to reveal their hiding place. Shur'tugal and Skulblaka, please come no further. My name is Phalynx, and I am the only dragon who can see you right now. I will not harm you, but that green dragon taking off will, so if you are aligned with the ancient riders and dragonkind, please either join myself and my allies over there or sneak away and avoid capture, she told them as she watched Ciar.
Ciar! You'd better not harm Syllwin or any of my allies, or you will regret it! Phal said to the young green at nearly the same time she was speaking to the other dragon and rider. She was making it seem as if that was the purpose of her coming back. Why are you aligned with evil, Ciar? Can't you see that your mission is wrong? You don't have to attack us! Phal said, hoping to deter him before injury could befall any of the dragons. She regretted having to fight him; the dragon was young and it didn't seem right that he should be corrupted by Galbatorix in his youth, and forced to work for him.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Kit and Shyara were both surprised when the starry dragon addressed them.
What are we going to do Shyara, slink back and hide or try and help?
What do think I'm going to say. Get out there, I'll be there in a second, I'm a bit wedged in here.
Okay, I'll be waiting for you, hurry! Kit drew his sword and took out the two closest soldiers. He chased a few others as they retreated. He burst through the undergrowth into a clearing. He ran to the middle, but he could find no one, then he heard someone say, "Excuse my but you're interfering with our mission." Kit turned around a few times to try and see where the voice was coming from, when he started to see that he was surrounded by archers. He dodged the first arrow and quickly sheathed his sword and used magic to block the arrows, but his magic wasn't that good and he was loosing energy by the second. SHYARA! Help I'm trapped and i can't hold of the arrows forever!
Shyara was still struggling to get out of the trees when she heard Kit's cry. Hang on I'm coming!
Kit's magic faltered a bit and an arrow slashed his arm.
When Shyara felt that Kit was hurt she went into a rage. She slashed and burnt the trees she was wedged between. She flared her wings and sprung to the sky; she wheeled around to the direction Kit was at. She ignored the other dragons completely, all that mattered was getting to Kit. She found the clearing Kit was in and lite the surrounding trees ablaze. The fire didn't do much to the soldiers but it caused enough confusion for her to land in the clearing, grab Kit, and get out. Kit, heal yourself.
Kit spoke the words and healed himself, his magic ten times stronger now that he was in physical contact with Shyara. Stay low to the trees and lets find out what these other dragons are doing before we go anywhere, they might need our help, and I am most certain that we could use theirs now that we've been discovered, and Galbatorix is sure to be told very soon about our existence.
Shyara dropped down to tree level as Kit had said, and hovered, waiting for an order and watching the scene unfold, as a new dragon emerged, with a menacing air about him.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: How rude of me; welcome to the newcomers! Sorry about that.
IC:
Syllwin almost stopped when she heard Phalynx's voice the first time, but she knew she couldn't turn back. She remained silent, staring straight ahead of her as she planned her next destination. That she noticed the green dragon flying around. There was something about him that made Syllwin uneasy, and Phal confirmed it. If that dragon was working for Galbatorix, then she knew she would have to fight him.
Syllwin waited as Phalynx explained the situation before turning to go find the dragon and her rider that was, apparently, hidden in the undergrowth. She had remained silent, but mixed emotions ran through her head as she was left alone, hovering in the sky. She didn't want to take advantage of Phal right now, especially since Phal didn't know everything about her. It wouldn't be right to stick with her any longer, but the crucial situation put her in a tight spot. She was able to see the new arrivals; they didn't look evil, but she knew very well that appearances can be decieving. However, they didn't attack. She wasn't ready to introduce herself. It would have to wait until after the fight.
If Phalynx wants me around so bad, fine, Syllwin told herself as she flew back to the scene. I owe it to her anyway. I can always leave right after. Besides, if it will do any damage to Galbatorix, I'm all for it.

Re: A Cold Beginning
As the others seemed to be drawn away, Bahamut was still having to deal with remaining soldiers as well new reinforcements. The fire-resistant armor was a real problem, because Bahamut was bipedal, all he could do is stomp on them or tailswipe. He managed to forace them all in front of him but eventually he was going to be overwealmed. Growling angerly, he took flight despite having a damaged wing and having a giant metal spear in his back. He struggled gaining height, but he reached his goal. He hovered above the large group of soldiers, See if you can resist this...
Bahamut opened his giant maw and fire and lightning began to fuse and form inside his mouth to create a flame-like energy. He kept building up energy, eventually it was becoming too strong to hold any longer. Bahamut released its wrath upon the soldiers. Like a meteor, the giant pillar of flame energy clashed into the ground, making a giant crater in its wake. Once the flames dispersed, the crater was all that remained and the smell of ash and sulfur filled the air. Bahamut landed, completely drained....but still stood tall at his full height. He gazed over the scarred earth, seeing no life had survived.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Hey, mind if I jump in?lol
IC: A shrieking roar sounded, loud and clear. A deep amethyst dragon flapped into view, a menacing look on his face. Ciar, if you harm any dragon or people here, I will...oh you don't even want to know what I would do! he bellowed. He assured himself that his partner-of-mind-and-soul was safe in the forest, then winged up close to Phal. Hello Phal, it seems that we've been running into each other more and more often. I've got a picture of what's going on. I can sense the ones around me, Bahamut is here, a dragon and Rider, and another silver-white dragoness, he said, his icy blue eyes glowing brightly. He looked at her. The brightness of her sparkling silver scales was almost blinding, but he kept his gaze on her. He was not exactly seeing her body, but her soul. He didn't look to deep, if he did then he would've seen her true name, and he didn't want to invade to much of her privacy. He looked away, toward Ciar. He could see without really looking the massive amount of darkness that surrounded the hatchlings soul, but it seemed like it was forced there, and that Ciar was truly a good dragon mislead into believing that Galbatorix was fighting for the good side. Again he turned to Phal. The pureness of her soul was astounding, nothing could corrupt her. It seems that Ciar is mislead. I only make threats, but it's rare that I fulfill them. I think it would be best if we try to turn Ciar around to the good side, then perhaps we might get Gavina on our side as well, and that would boast our possibility of overthrowing Galbatorix even more, he said.
OOC: Using Zeke to shake lose any confusion.lol

Right? if it is, then Draco should be next, then on from there.
P.S. I'll keep editing this when we get new players, that way we always have a list.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Hmm, technically people go whenever they jump in, so the order should really be: Kit, Astral, Gavina, Daidrea, DS4, Draco.
IC: Phalynx was happy to see that both the new dragon and rider had decided to aide the fight. These soldiers wouldn't last long against all of them. Phal smacked one away with her tail before flying up again, hoping to see if Ciar was in the air yet.
Phal was suddenly knocked a few feet through the air by the shockwave of Bahamut's meteor-like blast. Nice, she said to him with amusement. That was definately affective against the soldiers. They would probably retreat soon with so many against them.
Greetings, Zeke, Phal said to the blind purple dragon as he joined the group. His amethyst colored scales reflected the silver light shining off of Phal's like a large gem. She could feel his mind looking into her soul, which was a little unnerving, but she knew he wouldn't probe too deep. I agree, we should try to turn Ciar to our side. No dragon should be forced to work for the very one responsible for our kind's downfall, she said sadly. She hoped that Ciar would be responsive to such attempts, but she would fight him if he wasn't.
She turned to Syllwin to see if the dragoness had begun to fight yet. Be careful, Syllwin, these soldiers obviously want you for something. Though, I'm glad you decided to stay, she said, hoping the silver-ice-scaled-dragoness would not leave.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: SO which order are we going to follow?
Shyara was overwhelmed by the amount of dragons in the air. She had never met any of them before, but they all seemed to know each other, either on friendly terms or the other. Mabye we should slip away as, what was her name, Phalynx, I think, had said?
No, I think we should stay, even if we just sit here, because we could use some friends and I'd like to know what they think Galbatorix is up to, Kit replied to Shyara's question. We'll just sit here till someone tells us what to do, or the fight ends.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: lol okay. Hopefully I didn't miss anybody!
IC:
Syllwin was shocked at the amount of dragons in the area as of now. She hardly knew any of them; there was that dragon, Shyara, and her rider, Kit, Bahamut, Phalynx of course, and now this new light purple dragon with the extremely icy colored eyes. She heard him speak with Phalynx as they greeted each other like old friends. Perhaps they were. She shivered slightly when the dragon, called Zeke, stared at her with those unmoving eyes. She figured he was blind, because he didn’t meet her eyes. Despite his blindness, it was like he could see right through Syllwin right into her very being. It was unnerving for Syllwin, and her trust level was beginning to waver, but he seemed friendly enough. If he was one of Galbatorix’s dragons, he would have attacked by now, right?
Syllwin decided to heed Phalynx's warning. Alright, I'll try. But I'm afraid after this, I must be leaving. If I have time, maybe I can explain...
I can’t get involved with anyone else, Syllwin chanted to herself as she joined in the fight, clawing at the invading humans, I can’t get involved. This new dragon can’t know me. None of these dragons can know me or what I did. No, it’ll keep them safe.
Syllwin kept an eye out for the other dragons, doubt crawling into her mind. She couldn’t shake the feeling like something was going to go wrong. No matter what she did to try to push the thought away, it would slowly creep back. She also noticed the other green dragon, the one who wasn’t on their side. He seemed angry, and he was certainly the type who would kill without any remorse. She heard what he said about her; he was looking for her, there was no mistaking it. He didn't have an evil aura about him, however. Like Zeke said, this dragon seemed misled. Perhaps he was never meant to be evil, and perhaps he was meant to do well. It sounded like he was never really given the choice. But Syllwin knew too well that there was something else, something bad. It wasn’t the dragon; it was an evil aura that hung over the sky like a dark cloud, filled with lightning ready to strike. Something was coming. Syllwin hoped they were ready for it.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: seems like its my turn? and whats with everyone wondering if Ciars really good? Launching himself into the air, Ciar searched until he found Syllwin. Ciar could see that, for the moment, the dragoness was busy with some two-leg-round-ears. Taking his chance of distraction, Ciar flew fast on silent wings high above Syllwin. When Ciar was in place, he noticed one more dragon and a Rider, watching in silence. Shooting his mind out to only them he bellowed, Who are you two and what purposes do you have here?
Glancing around him, Ciar saw that there where more dragons then he thought. No matter how cunning he was, or how much of a dragon he was born as, he felt fear creeping into him. Having this many older and stonger dragons around was unnerving. Even if Ciar wanted to run, he couldn't. If Ciar ever ran, the mad-kind-Galbatorix would hurt him or his partner-of-mind-Gavina. So, ignoring those around him, Ciar looked down again. Syllwin was directly below him, unaware (or so he hoped) to Ciar's presence.
Letting loose a small jet of flame, Ciar folded in his wings and started to drop out of the sky. Only at the last moment did he open his wings. The air catching under his wings stopped him mid-drop for a second. Resuming his fall, Ciar landed on the dragoness-Syllwin, hoping to pin her for the moment.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Must...reply. Sorry D. Skip my turn to make it even again.
IC: Zeke snarled as young-green-Ciar made a move to the silver-ice-white-dragoness. He lunged toward her, claws extended, teeth bared. I warned you Ciar! he bellowed. Just before Ciar landed on top of the dragoness, he flipped onto his back, slid in between them, and kicked up with his hind legs, sending young-green-Ciar off course and landing several long-narrow-gashes along his soft underbelly. He winged in front of the dragoness, warding off any other surprise attacks with his large body and wings, his face twisted in a feral snarl. His snow white talons flexed as he tried hard to control his anger. If my scales become black, everyone should fly the other way. Including you Phal, he said, speaking to all the dragons. His muscular neck tensed and relaxed. His icy eyes flashed slightly as he turned to look at the silver-ice-white-dragoness behind him, though a snarl still graced his face, it seemed protective, and his eyes were gentle. I can see a little of your soul with my power. I can see what you plan to do after this fight is over. I can see the reason, or part of it anyway. Believe me, none of the dragons here are safe, whether we know you or not. Galbatorix wants us dead just for existing in the first place, so it doesn't matter if we know a certain person or dragon, it won't make the situation any worse. Most of all, he wants Phal, and her half brother. I can understand your concern, Syllwin, but there's no need for it, he said gently, turning away to glare at Ciar.
OOC: I know a little explanation is probably in store for Zeke's "powers". See, when his eyes glow like this, he can not only see a persons body, but there very soul. He can control how much information about the person he's looking he knows about (because he doesn't want to see there true name, or something of that nature), so that's how he knows Syllwin's name.

Re: A Cold Beginning
The boredom Aeraldi suffered recenty was maddening, there was nothing that he was interested in and, to make matters worse, Aeraldi was trying to get him to 'Expand his mind' by doing thing that he would never consider. Finally he decided that he needed to be somewhere, doing something that would make his other side shut up for the time being. That was when he felt a power growing, something that interested him greatly. He flew off heading towards the power and when he arrived what he saw was something that interested him. Not only was his favorite sparring partner, Bahamut, here but there was also a sign that there was a large battle. He looked around the area and saw many new faces and few that he recognised. Well, Aeraldi asked, flying around Bahamut, What have you done here and why was I not informed? He turned to fly next to Phalynx, And what new faces do we have here? He asked her.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Oh, wow, I just realized it's my turn... rofl, I'm sorry guys, how 'bout I go now? roflIC: Phalynx swept above the armies and examined where everyone was. Zeke and Syllwin were fighting Ciar, Bahamut was crushing countless soldiers, and the newcomers, Kit and Shyara, had joined the fight. Suddenly, she noticed another new arrival, and recognized the small form of the dark Aeraldi.
There are quite a few new faces, as you can see, Phal said laughingly at Aeraldi's question, The silvery-white dragoness is Syllwin, the evil green dragon is Ciar, and the new dragon and rider are Shyara and Kit. They're both on our side. Oh, and the soldiers have armor that is impervious to dragons' breath attacks. Not even my starfire worked, though I guess Galby knew about that... Phal grinned at Aeraldi and then went to join the fight against Ciar.
She let herself drop almost directly above the green dragon, her imposing wingspan, large enough for a dragon three times her size, blocking out the sun. She hissed, trying to get Ciar to rethink his moves. You don't need to fight, Ciar. We are too powerful in both number and individual strength for you to defeat us. You don't need to commit suicide to carry out Galbatorix's orders, she said fiercely, staring into Ciar's emerald eyes with her own, which were glowing gold.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Kit watched as the soldiers' numbers started dying down and some off the started fleeing after the arrival of yet another dragon. He must be on our side if the soldiers are fleeing, he said to Shyara.
I must agree with you on that, Shyara paused for a second as she flamed at a soldier running underneath her, It may not do much but I bet they feel it in the morning. Do you think we should help the others with that green dragon?
Kit wanted to stay yes, but inexperience prevented him. Fly above them and wait for an opening, and just breathe fire; I don't need you or me getting killed over this, and remember to stay out of the others way.
Shyara did as Kit had said, but the others were covering him well, so Shyara waited to pose her attack.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Uh-oh... JK. I'll come up with the order. Okay then...we'll go with Draco's order. It would be me then.
IC: Syllwin was utterly outraged. She knew what she was doing! She didn’t need Zeke to swoop in and save her from battling mere humans! Syllwin was so angry; she barely noticed a new arrival on the scene. There would have to be intros later. She could take at least one out with one claw behind her back. But then she realized that the dragon Ciar had nearly mauled her while she was busy with the humans. He had planned a sky attack from above, and she would have never seen it coming. It was shocking, but she couldn’t help but feel annoyed. Her blue-eye slowly changed to yellow to show her annoyance, making her even more annoyed. She hated her extreme feelings open for the world to see, but she wasn’t in control of her feelings, or her weird eye. She listened with shock as Zeke explained to her what was really going on, and the fact that he could see into her soul. It was a little hard to bear that someone could tell what parts of her real intentions were.
You don’t know my past…she started to whisper, when she shook her head. It doesn’t matter, she said harshly. Once these humans are gone…
Syllwin didn’t get a chance to finish her statement. The humans were beginning their retreat, with Phalynx and Ciar hovering in the air, glaring hatefully at each other. She wondered how both Phal and Ciar were feeling at this very moment. Phal looked angry enough to attack again, but Ciar…His eyes were cold and hard; they were set with determination. She shook her head and glanced at the retreating humans. Syllwin wanted to chase after them, but something told her that it would be a wasted effort. It was kind of random at the moment, but maybe they had gotten new orders or maybe they had realized that all of these dragons that had gathered would be able to kill them all in one swoop.
What will I do now? Syllwin wondered to herself. I feel so unsure…if what Zeke said was true…I was right to be doubtful and fearful. I can trust none of these dragons. Perhaps this whole thing is a waste of time. Maybe I should just go, she decided miserably. This isn’t my time.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Np, I suspected that it was my turn anyway. IC: Zeke chuckled at Syllwin's comment. I'll say again, none of the people or dragons here are in any more danger for knowing you, he snorted, Bah, that evil king wants all dragons that don't follow his rule dead. He wants me dead just for invading his castle to rescue my Rider, he bared his vicious fangs and snarled, One thing that oath-breaker must understand is; we bonded dragons will stop at nothing to get our Rider's back, even if it means certain death, he said. Zeke yelped in pain as a spear punctured just below his left wing joint. He turned his head and roared loudly at the offending soldier, making him wince and rub his ears. Why don't you crawl back with your comrades before I rip you to shreds for doing that, he growled, flexing his horrible talons that were splashed red from blood. The soldier gulped once, then turned and ran away as fast as he could. Zeke snorted in contempt. He winced as the spear grated against bone. He landed on the ground beside Syllwin, gently so he didn't agitate his wound. He painfully lifted his wing, turned his head toward the spear, latched onto the spear with his serrated teeth, and pulled it out. He bit down, making the spear break in half with a sharp crack! He spit the two pieces out, then turned back to the wound. Waise hiell, (be healed) he said gently, emmersing himself in the magic pool from his mind. The wound closed. Zeke flexed the wing to make sure the muscle was healed correctly, then glared up at Ciar. He raised his wings and took flight. With a mighty heave, he hovered next to Phal. The snarl had disappeared from his face, but that made him all the more scary. His unmoving eyes stared straight through Ciar (he had turned off his Soul Sight). I would retreat if I were you. Even you should know that your outdone in strength and number, hatchling that you are. I will let slip to you that I nor Phal will not fight you unless we must, he turned his head in the general direction of Syllwin, I'm not so sure about Syll, then he turned back to stare at Ciar. Choose your path wisely, he warned, then wheeled in the air, a snarl again graced his face. The reason behind this was a magician had cast a enormous fire ball at Phal. Skölir nosa fra brisingr! (Shield us from fire!) he cried. The fire passed on either side of him and Phal without so much as burning them. He looked directly at the magician, who quickly fled. He snorted in contempt. He turned to look at Ciar, then, before the green dragon could pull away, he touched him on the brow with his snout. Sé ono waíse sköliro frá rauthr un haina sem onr Ebrithil ach eom ono un onr Shur'tugal, (May you be shielded from misfortune and harm that your Master does to you and your Dragon Rider) he murmured, doing much the same thing that Eragon had done to Elva. He pulled his head away from the seemingly stunned Ciar. Now Galbatorix can not harm you, he can punish you, yes, but the pain will be much, much less, he said, then looked at Phal. Let's go, he said to her, turning around in the air to fly back to the cave that Syllwin and Phalynx had been in previously.OOC: ......the only thing I an say is: WOW.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: I thought I'd let you guys know; I'm not going to be on here for a week, because it's spring break here, and I'm not going to have access to a computer at all. So, if it becomes my turn over that week, and you've been waiting for a few days, you can skip my turn.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Aeraldi looked towards the fight and realised that this was a perfect chance to relieve his frustrations. Finally, I have waited for so long! Must that be the only way? Aeraldi asked from the back of their mind. For me, yes. As for you interrupting my thoughts, maybe you should be the one to kill them then? After hearing no reply Aeraldi charged the soldiers, extending his claws to their full length. The first soldier Aeraldi charged was forzen still by the terrible visage that was before him moments before his death. Aeraldi charged like an angel of death, his wings blotting out the light from the soldier, his maw wide open to reveal a void in which nothing escaped and his claws which seemed to absorb the light around them making the world all the more darker. Aeraldi bit and slashed his way through ten soldiers before any of them considered him a threat and before long Aeraldi had several soldiers with spears pointed at him. Aeraldi allowed the spears to rebound from his scales and into the soldiers behind him, only to attack the one who was wielding the shaft. His black eye gleamed with pleasure whilst his white was full of sorrow, blood dripped from his teeth and Aeraldi roared in delight with the kill, in knowing that he was the strongest.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: I think the order got a little messed up. DS4 skipped Gavina and Daidrea, so they still have to go. We'll just insert them here, I suppose, and then I'll go.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Ummm, I think I'll pass for now, plus DS4 is off her computer for a bit. So I dont know how long exactly she will be gone.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Greetings, everyone! I'm back! Um, I don't think Gavina's been on in a long time, or at least she hasn't replied her for a little while. Has anyone conversed with her lately?

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Um...since Gavina hasn't come back in at least a month, I think it would be okay if Draco went. Sorry Gavina, if you're out there, we don't mean to skip you, but this battle needs to be finished up. Whenever you want to go, Draco.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Alrighty. My fingers are really stiff right now from cold. (lol Astral knows why. )IC: Phalynx simply hovered in front of Ciar and stayed silent as Zeke spoke. She did not want to fight the green. She stayed as still as she had been when she felt the fireball hurdle towards her, not even flinching as the remains of the flame swept around her scales. She could have blocked it if Zeke hadn't anyway.
When the purple dragon motioned for them to depart, Phalynx gave another sympathetic look to Ciar, hoping he would abandon his evil commander. She turned back to the now ending fight. Soldiers and magicians were scattering into the trees, escaping the bloodbath brought upon by the horde of dragons. Phal made sure they were clear of enemies.
Our enemies are retreating, so I suggest we all find a place to rest. There must be a reason this army is here, and I intend to find it and stop them. Whoever wants to help me stop Galbatorix's army may join me, she said. She would never pass up a chance to aide Alagaesia, and finding out the reason for this army being this far north could turn out to be very important indeed.

Re: A Cold Beginning
We'll help, Shyara said to the dragoness and flew up next to her. Did you have a place in mind?

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: heehee...of course I know...
IC:
Syllwin looked around, listening to Zeke's wise words as Phalynx suggested they find a place to recoup their strength. It was tough on all of them, for sure. She knew that whatever happened in the past should remain in the past. But it was hard on her to really trust these dragons even though she knew they were on her side of justice. But if they needed her, she wasn't just going to abandon them in the middle of a great fight.
I suppose...I could help you in Galbatorix's downfall, Syllwin said arrogantly, trying to seem like she didn't care what she did. Say, Phal, what do you say to that one spot we hid out when we first met as a place to rest? Unless someone else has a better idea?

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: The order is Kit, Astral, Gavina, Daidrea, DS4, Draco so...I think it should technically be Gavina, but I haven't seen her around lately...If she doesn't reply in the next day or two, or something like that, then it'd be Daidrea's.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: lol I think the order has been getting a little confuzzled. It is Kit, Astral, Gavina, Daidrea, DS4, Aeraldi, Draco. I think we may have unwittingly skipped a few people a few turns back, but we'll start from where we are.
So, Daidrea, your turn, unless Gavina gets there first.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Aeraldi was dissapointed that he had come at the trailing end of the battle, but he was happy that he still managed to take part in it. His limbs still burned with fire and his teeth still felt that there was more to tear apart. Want me to control while you relax? Aeraldi sighed and said, Yes, I suppose I should. With that he walked away from the rest and began the painful transformation. He prepared himself as best he could but when it came he was grasping whatever he could in order to make sure he wasn't tearing himself apart. He didn't make a sound as he changed, but he wasn't quiet as the trees around him suffered his pain. His tail bashed the ground and his claws tore anything that got in their way, his spikes shortened whilst his claws also shortened. Aeraldi's scales changed, they began to flow with white and the pain lessened. He breathed easier and finally the pain stopped, he was still breathing heavily though. Once again he wondered if the pain would ever stop.
Aeraldi walked to the others talking and lay down near the base of a tree. He didn't have a place that was safe, as he didn't exactly have a home. The once place he did call home once had long been lost to him and he dared not return. I'll join you Phalynx.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Oh, I suppose it is. My bad. IC: Phalynx nodded, watching the last of the troops scurry off with her sight. Yes, that place was sheltered, it will hide us for the time being, she said, and flapped up into sky above the others. She kept to her vantage point in order to see anything that might approach around her friends.
She spotted the place where she and Syll had rested before the fight. She landed on the edge of the cliff, and with one more survey of the landscape turned to the others. Alright, so once we're rested, and possibly fed, we should get moving and keep an eye on those troops. It's uncertain what they are doing this far north, but whatever it is can't be good, she said, stretching herself out on the rocky ledge on the edge of the cliff.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Shyara landed next to the silver dragoness who's name she had figured out was Phalynx. She had never met another dragon before this, and now that things had slowed down she though it best to thoroughly introduce herself and her rider. Umm hi, everyone, I'm kinda new here, my name is Shyara and this is Kit, my rider. May I ask your names?
Kit waved his hand in greeting when Shyara mentioned him. He felt out of place being the only human there.

Re: A Cold Beginning
Syllwin had landed comfortably, keeping a little distance between everyone else. She would have never believed it to be true, but she was part of a rebellion against Galbatorix. She was going to end up splitting away once they were done with their mission; she was a loner, and she intended to keep it that way, thanks to the stupid dictator.
I'm Hobsyllwin, she greeted to the new dragon and her rider, kind of hesitantly. Though Syllwin would be more...adiquet for my prefrence.
Syllwin looked away, keeping eye contact on the ground instead of looking at everyone else. She was better at keeping her expression blank if she didn't look at someone in the eye.
Phalynx, she said quietly, to only her, I think it's time I explained my bit of history. You're the only one in this group of strangers that I've known the longest, and you must understand why I would prefer it if I had left. She paused before beginning. I had almost betrayed everything you and the other dragons stand for.
Galbtorix had caught me, and I had no idea who or what he was at the time. I wanted to leave, but he kept me there. He said I was different...but I kept insisting that I would leave, and he mysteriously agreed to that. He said that if I do him a favor he would set me free. Syllwin had almost hissed in anger, but kept her motions at bay. It turned out I was supposed to kill a dragon. I refused, and Galbatorix was fine with that. Finally, he brought in a human boy, and Galbatorix claimed he was a criminal, so I used my ice breath to encase him. It turned out that I had about killed the dragon too, since it was his rider. Galbatorix locked me away after that, along with the dragon and his rider. I was able to get the boy free, but I had almost sided with that dictator, and become like him. She paused, editing majorly the horrors she had witnessed in the prision. Eventually, I had discovered my power to create illusions. That was all I could do to escape, besides flying away of course, and my ice breath. Other than my eye changing color when I have an extreme emotion, I have no other ability. I'm not special; why would Galbatorix say that I was? He was lying to keep me...wasn't he?
After her story, Syllwin sighed. I'm sorry for dropping that on you, but you had to know. Otherwise, I would look like a complete jerk. She looked around, mainly at the new comers. So what's the plan? We ought to figure out something before rushing off to meet that...that vile of filth Galbatorix.
OOC: Ooo, sorry, that was kind of a long post...Hopefully I wasn't excluding anyone.

Re: A Cold Beginning
OOC: Daidrea, it is your turn in this RP. This is the first RPG I joined and I'd like to finish it. It has sentimental value to me.
