OOC:
Who will control morwen's charry's? I will if you don't want to, though it will be rough, since I don't know her charry's very well. Or both of us could, your thread, your decision.

IC:
Zana swiped a stray strand of her hair out of her face, with a hand. She looked over at Kuja walking into the Urgal city, wondering what he was thinking. She followed Felecia into the sleeping halls, she crawled under one of Ebony's wings and fell asleep.

Felecia gasped suddenly and looked at Ebony, he did the same. Mesaraih and Fenirexes! they said at the same time. Felecia leaped onto his back and he launched into the air, beating his mighty wings. He scanned the land for a red dragon, and found him, laying exactly where they left him. Ebony landed next to Fenirexes, Felecia floated off his back with her wings, she grasped Mesaraih under his arms and lifted him to Ebony's back, she set him in front of her. Ebony gently wrapped his strong arms around Fenirexes, he tensed his muscles and beat his wings, for a second he feared he wouldn't be able to lift Fenirexes, then, slowly, he lifted off the ground. It took them almost half an hour to get back to the city, they set Mesaraih and Fenirexes in the sleeping halls. Ebony laid down next to Fenirexes, exhausted from the day. Felecia gently extended a wing over Mesaraih, keeping him warm in the cold desert night.

Felena snuggled under one of Ebony's wings, falling asleep almost instantly.

Blacknight stretched her jaw out after Felena yanked off that horrid bridle, she turned to Midnight. I'm fine, she said. She cantered over to the sleeping halls and laid down next to Elfrida and Death.

Elfrida jumped off Blacknight and took the saddle off, she muttered a spell and made every one's horns and spikes disappear,"Is everyone okay?" she asked,"Yes.." was the wary answer. She warily walked over to the sleeping halls and fell into a waking asleep against Death.

Death was about to agree with Ebony and Zeke when everything happened, Kuja cast a energy ball, Galbatorix appeared and took Wulfe away, Zana was killed, but miraculously brought back in her own body by Kuja. Oh my head hurts, he groaned. He went into the sleeping halls and laid down against a wall, falling asleep quickly.

Wulfe glared at Galbatorix,"I had everything under control master, you did not have to intervene." Galbatorix payed him no mind, but sat back down on his throne, he raised a thick eyebrow,"Oh? And you call having a huge energy ball speeding toward you, under control?" he said coolly. Wulfe blushed angrily.

Ella limped slowly to the sleeping halls and fell into a waking sleep against Zeke, who had gotten there before her.

Hannah grumbled as Ella fell into a waking sleep. She laid down in her corner, but couldn't get to sleep, her thoughts kept bugging her.

Raven shook his mane and thought about where he was going to sleep, he decided in the Urgal village would be best, besides, he had no idea where his herd was. He trotted into the sleeping halls and saw Blacknight laying next to her friends, he smiled and laid down nex to her, laying his elegant head on her side.

Midnight followed Blacknight into the sleeping halls, he laid down next to a wall, but couldn't sleep.

Magic laid down next to Ella, protecting her.

Gedel slept with his back to a wall, just in case.

Geldo laid down next to Zana, putting a strong arm over her.

OOC: You seem to have it covered well, you can do her chary's pretty good. =)

IC: Kuja returned to the house where he stayed when he was injured. He sat on the bed bending over the side, head down. His mind was throbbing with a huge headache.
He sighed to himself quietly. Strangely he thought about why he fell for Felecia, the most logical reason was he was in Xaldin's form. Xaldin was an elf and Felecia is an elf. But Kuja's side is shade, and he didnt know why he wouldnt fall for some one his own race. Granted...other than Zana, he hasnt seen another female shade before.
Since hes been back in his normal form he just has been acting strange. He didnt know even if he loved Felecia anymore or even wanted love at all. The emotion scared him now...but he didnt know the reason.

Why am I being like this? Why is my mind constantly thinking over an emotion I just started to feel for a few weeks now..? Perhaps I was better off that Ive never known it. I wouldnt be so distracted....maybe even stronger.
It wasnt that he suddenly rejected Felecia its just he was afraid now. Being some ones love...eventually mate, always thinking of eachother and worried. Such distraction just vexed him.
I just cant do this...I am better off alone.
Kuja stood up and gathered as much energy as he can. Almost instantly he ported himself to the other side of the Hadarac, hundreds of miles away. He began to walk aimlessly, hoping to find another village.

OOC:
*blushes pink* Thanks..

IC:
A tear slid down Felecia's cheek as she sensed Kuja leaving the city. She got up and slid out from under Ebony's wing, she walked silently to the healing house where Kuja had been staying, and there, on the nightstand next to the bed, was the ring. Felecia took it and twisted it around in her hands, she replayed the scene of her giving it to Kuja in her mind. Kuja laughed lightly as he read the inscription on the band,"I think you let your emotions have to much control of your spell." he said, and showed her the inscription 'My Love Forever'."I'm sorry Felecia, but I can't accept this." he placed it back into her hand. She looked down at the ring in her hand then back at Kuja,"No, keep it, I mean it." she pressed it into his hand. She walked away from him toward Ebony, out of the corner of her eye she saw him put it on. the vision ended. Felecia clutched the ring, then lifting it to her lips, she kissed it. Oh Kuja, when will you get it into your head that you can change? I know your afraid to change, so is everyone, your not alone, she thought, unknowingly sending that thought to him through the ring.

Zana woke up as Kuja left, she untangled herself from Geldo and got out from under Ebony's wing. She traced where Kuja went, then followed him, she vanished into a portal, appearing a couple yards behind him. She didn't move toward him,"You know as well as I that Shades don't like change." she said, still not moving. Zana looked around her and saw that they were near the edge of the desert, she looked back at Kuja,"I used to be much like you, always wanting to be all powerful and invincible. I was a powerful Shade, more powerful than you even, I still am, but not as powerful." she looked straight into his eyes,"Joining with Felecia drained some of my power permanently, I tried for years to get that power back. I finally gave up, realizing that I had to accept my power loss and move on. You have to do the same, loosing Selris has lessened your strength from 100%, to almost 70%, and I will tell you now, your never going to get that 30% back unless Selris agrees to come back." she said,"And from what I know of his beliefs, that's not going to happen anytime soon." Zana looked away for a minute, then back at Kuja,"Daidrea is still bent on killing you. Ella can't hold him back forever. If you were to prove him wrong, show him that you have changed. He still thinks that you are the same monster that killed his brother, and that you will never change." she shook her head,"I say different." she said.

Ebony grumbled softly as he felt two people sliding out from under his wings, he gently nuzzled Felena and the egg sitting next to her.

Raven shifted and cracked open a eye and watched Zana and Felecia leave the sleeping halls. After they left, he fell back asleep.

Midnight finally fell asleep.

Gedel slept fittfully, he kept seeing himself back at Uru'baen, killing innocent people.

Geldo grunted as Felecia slid out of his arms.

Ella smiled as she felt Magic's warm body press against her.

Zeke gently took Daidrea off his back and placed him under a wing.

Hannah finally got to sleep.

Felena smiled as Ebony nuzzled her, she curled her tail around the egg, making sure it was still there.

Elfrida was walking through a hallway of her memories.

Blacknight sighed as Raven laid his head on her side.

Death was to deeply asleep to hear or feel anything around him.

Wulfe stomped to his quarters and sat on his bed, fuming that he hadn't been able to capture his sister. He thought about what had gone wrong, then about what the skin changer, Felena, had said,"I let you win." those words haunted him.

Magic snorted and fell asleep.

OOC:
Okay, I think I got everyone. Oh, btw Daidrea, I have to go and do one of my activities, it goes from 6pm to 8pm, I'll be gone for about 2 hours. You can text me if you want, but my phone will most likely be turned off.

Zana raised an eyebrow,"Every Dragon Rider feels that emptiness. Even Shade Dragon Riders." she bit her lip,"I know by experience." she tensed as he approached her, but relaxed as he touched her cheek,"I've been with her before she found Ebony's egg. But yes, I do look like her, I think the only difference is my eye color, hair color and length. Being with Felecia wasn't the only change in my life..I was a Rider, like you." she said, looking away from him. Zana shook her head,"I don't know why Bain chose me." her eyes clouded over, remembering her dragon. She shook herself back to reality, she heard Kuja saying that she could stay here, or go back to the city,"I'll stay here." she said. Zana pointed a finger toward the rock he was leaning against, muttering a couple words of power. The stone convulsed and shifted into a small, stone dome. She lowered her hands then, tensed her muscles, and slowly lifted her hands up, like she was lifting something, a stone wall emerged from the ground in the middle of the dome, it met the ceiling and stopped. Zana pulled her hands toward her, then jerked them away, making a sandy bed that would be semi-comfortable. She looked at Kuja,"What?" she said.

Felecia laid down on the bed, still clutching the ring. She kept running through her memories, thinking.

OOC:
Everyone else is asleep.lol

Zana smiled when Kuja disappeared back to the Urgal city. He's so much like me when I was younger, she thought. In her life, she had seen many people and shades alike that reflected her, being 1000 years old, but Kuja was like looking at a mirror of herself, literally. Zana sat up, sighing in frustration as sleep refused to come, she got off her bed and walked out of the dome. She looked up at the stars, wondering what she could do. Zana extended her hand and reached for the magic,"Brilliant white star, come down to me." she said, a small star made it's way to her. She kept it hovering a couple inches from her hand, admiring it's beauty. Zana grasped a pouch from her side and placed the star into it, saving the energy for later. Why are you putting me in here? a irritated voice said, she looked down at the star in surprise. Did you just talk to me? she asked, it pulsed, as if angry. Of course it was me, do you see anything else around you that could talk? it said, still irritated. Zana tied the pouches strings at her waist, then drew her sword, just in case, she started walking toward the Urgal city. But before she did, she put a small boulder over the opening of the dome. Then she started walking to the Urgal city.

Felecia woke with a start and sat up, she looked down at the ring in her hand and found that it was glowing brightly. She twisted it around in her hand, she got up, still looking at the ring. Felecia walked out of the healing house, out the gate and to the north. Something was drawing her there, she didn't know if it was the ring or something else.

OOC:
Edit: That's the best I could do Daidrea.

Kuja was luring Felecia to him to meet him on the tower. He thought he'd make it interesting this way.
He focused on the ring and waited for her to show up.

OOC: All I got atm lol

Felecia realized it was Kuja drawing her to meet him somewhere. She started running toward the tower that he was standing on. She arrived at it and looked up, crouched down, bunched her muscles, and jumped. Felecia flew up, but her wings suddenly gave out, and grabbed the edge of the roof with both hands just in time, she slowly pulled herself up, her arms screaming in pain, but she gritted her teeth and continued pulling. She lifted a leg over the edge, then pulled the rest of her body over. Felecia lay there, panting heavily. She looked up at Kuja,"Next time you want to talk with me, try to find a place nearer the ground." she said with a small smile. She got on one knee, then paused, still trying to catch her breath. Felecia got to her feet, her body trembling slightly,"Okay, I'm here." she said, drawing her sword and leaning on it. Her wings hung from her back like dead weights, she tried flapping them, but they remained motionless. She looked at Kuja and raised an eyebrow, but waited for him to speak.

Zana started running toward Felecia and Kuja, feeling that something very bad was going to happen. She took bounding leaps, running almost as fast as a dragon could fly. Zana finally reached the tower, but didn't ascend, she stayed at the bottom, watching, waiting. When Zana had taken Felecia as a host, she had made a vow on her soul in the Ancient Langauge that she would protect Felecia at all costs. Zana wasn't about to break that vow now, even though she and Felecia weren't merged anymore. She leaned against the wall, her fluid form melting into the darkness.

OOC:
Man, this jumped in my head and I just started typing.lol
Anyway, hope it's good.

Kuja stared at her for a few moments. He was about to say something but then he was silenced by some unknown force. Suddenly he felt like he was being pulled towards her. He was wondering what was going on...he looked around. Nothing... but he looked at her again and she was smiling slightly. Felecia is doing this..?

He got so close he was barely a few inches from her face. He got so nervous suddenly, he managed tilt his head away slightly. He looked again and saw something was strange about her eyes...they were changing colors slightly. He overlooked it, but she has been different lately.


OOC: Akward...lol

OOC:
Okay, not leaving as quickly as I thought....

Felecia's eyes widened when Kuja, against his will apparently, started walking toward her. She stepped back in fear, feeling her eyes changing color. She suddenly felt the energy drain that came with casting a spell, she stopped the spell. Felecia looked at Kuja with her now black eyes,"What the hell is happening to me?" she asked. She put all her weight on her sword, feeling very weak.

Zana's eyes snapped open and she leaped onto the roof, she walked over to Felecia and layed a hand on her shoulder,"It was not you that started that spell." she looked at both of them,"There is someone that wants your powers. Someone that wants you two to mate." Zana dropped her hand, putting it on her sword's pommel,"If you two mate, your child would be the strongest ever born. There is someone that wants that child for themselves." Zana looked to the east,"You two aren't safe here, Beldon is coming for both of you. He will force you two mate and the child will be his." her eyes flashed angrily,"He tried the same thing with me, I was the strongest child born, my mother was a shade, and my father a elf." she brushed some hair behind a ear, revealing pointed tips,"That's why I have pointed ears. He tried to harness my power, but he failed. I escaped, end of story. But now, you two have met, and you like eachother, he will try again." she looked to the east again,"Beldon is coming for you, we have to move, now!" she hissed, drawing her sword, she whispered some words and teleported them near the edge of the desert,"Kuja, you take the front. Felecia, stay in between me and Kuja. I'll take the rear." Zana lifted her hands, making the sand move like the ocean behind them,"Kuja, move, Beldon is close now." she cried, sweat beaded her forehead. She glanced out in the shifting sands and saw a lone figure. She looked at Kuja,"RUN!" she shouted, taking the front.

Kuja looked at her questionly. "Why does that matter how old you are?"

Kuja dazed out for a few moments. Whoever this guy was sounded sick...forcing people to mate to get their child? Geez..
He looked at Felecia, are we now not meant to be together..?

Dammit this is so confusing.


OOC: Sigh, kinda sucks how my posts are so short.

Zana turned around,"I was born a thousand years ago on this day. Every thousand years, Beldon tries again. If you mate today, your child would be born today as well." she closed her eyes and shuddered,"I will not have you go through the pain that I did." she looked at both of them and smiled sadly,"The true strength comes from mating with a Shade. You Kuja, are the strongest Shade I've ever met. Your child would be very strong." she said. Zana scowled,"Your child would be pure and innocent, but Beldon would turn him/her evil and a killer." she said. She gripped her sword harder,"As long as I'm alive I will not let that happen. If you do mate, even by accident, I swear on my life I will protect your child." she gritted her teeth,"I will die before that bastard gets his hands on either of you." she said. Zana gripped her sword so tight her knuckles turned white,"I'm tired of cowering in the shadows, when Beldon comes for a fight, he will get one from me." she hissed.

Felecia sat down on the hard ground, unable to speak, then said in a choked up voice,"Your a thousand years old?" she asked, looking up at her friend. Zana nodded her head, still gripping her sword tightly,"I hid my age from everyone, by the dragons scale I don't even look my age." she turned back to the entrance and stared in the distance,"Their was never another Shade born in history that lived as long as me. Nor one as powerful." she glanced back at Kuja,"Don't take me wrong Kuja, you are powerful, but the things you've seen me do are just a fraction of my power. For god's sake I'm almost as strong as Galbatorix himself." she said heatedly. A tear slid down her cheek,"Curse the day I was born." she said, irritably wiping it away. Felecia got up, walked up next to Zana and laid a hand on her shoulder.

OOC:
I've run out of ideas for everyone else, their basically waiting for Zana, Felecia and Kuja to come back now.

Kuja didnt really pay attention Zana entering. Suddenly she was casting a spell. "If you are assuming this is Selris' heart of hearts, you are mistaken. You can clearly tell be the sheer size of this one. This one belonged to a dragon named Bahamut. They called him the demon of dragons because he was an abomination to his race. Yet he was one of the most powerful. His body structure was different than other dragons. It was more shaped humanoid and stood on two feet rather than four. Also compared to other dragons he was a titan amoung his kin. Possibly the largest dragon that ever lived."

Suddenly Zana seemed to have vanished behind him. He didnt turn however, he just kept to his business. Suddenly he heard an unknown voice behind him. Kuja didnt respond to him, he just turned around and stared. Then Zana reappeared along with Felecia. Zana was ordering him to run again.

Oddly, Kuja began laughing. He turned towards the heart of hearts again and placed his hand over it. Everything around them changed, they appeared in a giant cave with a lake of lava. They were only standing on the long section of earth that matched the room, then to the left of them was the lake of fire. Kuja walked to the center of the section of earth and turned towards them, back facing the lake of lava. Suddenly the walls and ground began to shake...as if an earthquake was happening. Out of no where, a giant black claw came out of the lava and clutched one end of the long section of earth. A few seconds later another one clutched the other side....and then horns begans to emerge along with the head they were attatched to. The giant black dragon pulled itself upward onto the earth. He got his elbows on each and had his forearms surrounding the group. His head was hanging right above Kuja.

Kuja didnt move away he just kept staring at them. The great dragon opened his mouth and roared. It was so loud that it made the walls shake.

OOC: ...Wow, I really went crazy with that one.

OOC:
*lmao* Yeah, ya kinda did.lol

IC:
Zana froze when she heard a roar that shook the lava room. She slowly turned around and came face to horned face, with the demon of dragons, Bahamut (OOC: It is him right?). She stared in horror at him, frozen to the spot she was standing on. Zana numbly walked over to Kuja, when she was a couple feet away, her face changed from horror and fear, to admiration and respect,"Your stronger than I thought Kuja, even I wouldn't dare summon such a beast." she said, lowering her head to show him her respect for him. Zana turned back to Beldon,"As you can see, you are out numbered, and outgunned. If you don't want me to cleave you in half and feed you innards to the birds, I suggest you turn tail and run." she said in a deadly soft voice. Beldon was shaking with rage, he pointed a finger at Felecia and Kuja,"I will get you two to mate today, and I will get your child!" he shouted, and disappeared in a plume of smoke. Zana sheathed her sword.

Felecia's eyes widened as a huge dragon came up from the lava, she didn't recognize him, but from the way Zana reacted, he was bad news that she had dealed with before. Felecia drew her sword a little out of the sheath, just in case. Her eyes darted around the room, looking at the scorching hot lava flowing around the small thing they were standing on. It made her nervous, she hated beind cut off from an escape route, but she gritt her teeth and tensed her muscles, ready to leap forward and fight at a moments notice. Felecia sighed in relief as Beldon left, but was scared about what he said. She eyed the dragon warily and walked up next Kuja, her wings quivering in fear,"Is everyone alright?" she asked, glancing at Zana, who nodded.

IC:
"Ah, now I understand." Felecia said.

Zana listened to Kuja,"Hm, that explains why I'm being held here as well, I was a Rider, ex-Rider now." she looked at Kuja,"Bain looked just like Selris, same size, color, same everything. I'm actually starting to think they were brothers. Did Selris mention any of his family to you?" Zana put her hand in a cloak pocket, touching Bain's Eldunari.

OOC:
Short, running out of ideas for some reason, probably school, it's ringing me dry.lol

Kuja was reluctant to reply at first but he managed. "No, I never heard him mention any family."
He looked up to where Bahamut was resting himself. He was still staring at them in the same exact position, as if he had become a statue.

OOC: Yea I dont got much now either lol

Zana looked up at Bahamut from the corner of her eye, seeing that he hadn't moved. She looked back at Kuja,"Bain said he had a brother, but he never mentioned a name. You say you found Selris's egg in one of the old Rider towers correct? I found Bain's egg in that same tower, a couple decades before you went there. On the day you found Selris's egg and he hatched for you, Bain felt something, and at that moment, he knew his brother had hatched for someone. I'm guessing Selris was Bain's brother." she said, not completely sure how Kuja would take this.

Felecia said nothing after Zana finished talking.

Midnight snorted and looked up, but all he saw was a hole in the roof.

Raven shifted from his left side to his right, trying to get comfortable.

Gedel leaned against the wall and crossed his arms, resigned to wait for something to happen.

Geldo groaned inwardly, waiting was killing him, he had to know that Zana was alright. He got a small mirror out of his jacket,"Draumr kopa." he said, dream stare in the Ancient Language. The mirror went black then it showed Zana, Felecia, and the ex-Dragon Rider, Kuja. He let the image fade.

Blacknight didn't get up, but was suddenly very nervous, she couldn't figure out why. Then something invisible grasped her around the middle, she tried squealing but couldn't open her mouth out of fear a bit would be forced in again. She was carried out of the sleeping halls and onto the roof, she saw Wulfe and anger leapt into her eyes,"So it's you?" she said, anger mingling in her voice. He laughed and opened her mouth with magic, shoved in a bit, then closed it again. The stiff leather of the bridle on her head felt cold, she tried to shake it off, but couldn't. Blacknight waited, against her will, for Wulfe to mount her. He made wings sprout from her back, she flew down to the entrance and waited for Thorn to grab Death, her anger boiling.

Death growled as Blacknight was carried off, then yelped as something grabbed him. It drug him out the entrance and put a muzzle on him. He shuddered as the stiff leather slid onto his face, knowing what was coming next. The spell was cast and he took his place standing next to Blacknight. Are you alright Blacknight? he asked, she vaguely nodded her head. Wulfe touched his heals to her sides and she walked forward into the sleeping halls. He pulled back on the reins, making her stop a little bit before she was in the group of people and dragons,"Hey little sis." he said with an evil smile,"You should surrender now, one word from me and Death will be in the void before you could move." Death growled low in his throat. Don't worry about me Elfrida, I'll be fine, he said to her.

Elfrida was trembling with rage at the sight of Death and Blacknight under the controlling spell. She reach for magic, then logic found it's place in her mind again. She reached for the magic again, but this time for a different purpose, she tried to remove the spell on Death and Blacknight, but evidently, Galbatorix had made it stronger with other spells. Then a thought hit her. Why isn't my scar hurting me? she thought, touching her scar. Elfrida glared at Wulfe with every single bit of hate she felt for him,"I will never surrender to the likes of you." she snarled.

Wulfe grinned as Elfrida tried to remove the spell on Blacknight and Death, but Galbatorix's improvements held. He laughed as Ebony roared in outrage,"That's right dragon, let your anger go, let it have control. Ebony's black scales were tinged with red, and slowly, but surely, were turning red. You want to see my anger? It is the last thing you'll ever see! he roared, grabbed Wulfe in his talons, wrenched him from the saddle and carried him outside the city. Ebony threw him to the ground, and grinned savagely as he heard a couple bones crack. His scales, spikes, and eyes were completely red now, he lifted his head and roared to the heavens. Ebony's face was contorted in a feral snarl, Wulfe struggled to his feet, and winced in pain, a thought a couple ribs might be broken, he drew his sword and covered it in diamond liquid, making hard enough to cut through scales. Ebony noticed this and avoided the blade, Wulfe lunged at him, but he effortlessly batted him aside with a paw. Is this seriously the best you can do?! he roared, infuriated that Wulfe wasn't even that big of a challenge. Wulfe blushed angrily and lunged at Ebony again, this time he succeeded in cutting Ebony on the shoulder, it was deep, Ebony roared and stomped on Wulfe, crushing a couple more ribs. Are you so keen to see my anger now? he asked, Even in my anger, I have common sense. If I'm furious on the other hand, I've no control of my actions,Wulfe wheezed painfully, a rib had punctured a lung and he was having trouble breathing. His vision narrowed and he could barely see anything, he vaguely saw Ebony return to black scales, golden eyes, and silver spikes. Ebony healed Wulfe and carried him back to the sleeping halls, he set him down gently. Wulfe groaned and opened his eyes a crack to see a black wing over him, he lay still, not wanting to make Ebony angry again. That dragon is nuts! He needs to be killed for the safety of everyone around him, he thought, Ebony's side vibrated as he growled, he slid his black head under his wing. I heard that little one, don't make the mistake of trying to do it, he said, lifting his upper lip in a snarl. Ebony withdrew his head and laid it down on the ground. Wulfe was trembling slightly. What's wrong with me?! I'm not afraid of anything, now I'm afraid of an insane dragon?! That's to far!, he thought, he tried to teleport away, but Ebony must of casted some spells to prevent anyone of using magic to get away. Now he was scared, what was Ebony going to do to him? He shook his head, angry with himself. Pull yourself together man! he thought.

Zeke laid his head on the hard-uncomfortable-ground, but snapped it back up as he felt Blacknight, then Death taken away by force. He scanned nearby area with his mind and found Wulfe mounted on Blacknight with Death at their side. Seriously little one, are you asking to be humiliated again? he said, getting up on his feet. Ella, wake up, he said gently.

Ella sat up at Zeke's words, saw Wulfe, and let Hannah have control. Hannah drew her sword, walked up to Wulfe and stopped a couple feet in front of Blacknight,"You think your such a good swordsman don't you? Have you ever battled with a seasoned Shade? Well if you haven't yet, I'll give you the honor of battling with me." she hissed.

Magic struggled to his feet and bared his teeth angrily at Wulfe. His mane and tail burst into flame in his anger.

OOC:
My dad is going to do a memory chip exchange in my computer, so I have to log off and turn my computer off too. I will get back on as soon as I can.

Kuja didnt move from where he was, he just watched what was going on. He probably should have done something, but for some reason he didnt. He looked away.
Suddenly he began feeling rather tired. He laid down on his side to rest.



OOC:Sorry taking so long to post, been doing others recently and I didnt really know what to write lol.

Zana leaned against the wall and tried to sleep, but she felt Bahamut's gaze drilling into her and sleep refused to come. She peeked through one eye and sure enough, Bahamut hadn't moved and was still staring down at them. She scowled angrily. What's wrong with me? I'm afraid of something that can't attack me? she thought. Zana shifted against the wall thinking about what she could do to pass the time. She withdrew the star from her pouch, twirling it around in her hand. Suddenly huge amounts of pain entered her mind, she just managed to hold in a shriek of pain. You are mine Zana, a voice whispered. Galbatorix, Zana realized. She stared at the star in her hand, jaw muscles flexing with the effort of keeping her mouth shut, she took energy from the star and threw it mentally at Galbatorix, he shrieked and withdrew from her mind. Stay away from me and you won't get hurt, she warned him before he faded away.

Felecia took a couple more gulps of air before her heart rate went down. She opened her eyes and looked around the room, she slowly sat up against the wall. She looked over at Zana who was panting in exerstion. You alright Zana? she asked worriedly. I..I'm fine.....Galbatorix tried t..to take over m..my body. she smiled warily, I don't think he'll be trying that again really soon. a tired chuckle escaped her lips. Just let me rest, I'll be fine tomarrow, she said, and with that, closed her eyes and fell asleep. Felecia laid down on the ground, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

OOC:
I hear ya, I've run out of ideas for the others, my mind is blank, or SF version, I'm having major writers block right now.lol

OOC: Well Im confused on what you posted, can you clear it up a little. So Zana has a child I get that but thats it lol.


Bahamut kept looking around. Something caught him in the corner of his eye. He quickly turned towards it. He took flight and charged at it. He got his giant claws inside the opening and he began spreading it apart with all his might. He roared in frustration as he used his great strength to attept to rip the seal appart.
Kuja felt something was wrong with Zana, she seems so different from a moment ago...but maybe it's just because Bahamut is trying to escape.

OOC:
Okay, I'll do my best to explain. Have you read Brisingr yet? If you have you've read about the Shade that was created near the end, then destroyed by Eragon and Arya. I'm saying that Zana had taken place in Kuja's birth. She was there when he was created, so in a sense, she is his mother. Make a little more sense now?

Zana leaped in front of Bahamut and threw him back away from the wall with powerful wards,"If you want to get free, you'll have to go through me first!" she snarled,"You cannot hope to battle with me, for you don't know who I am." she grinned to herself and drew Deyja.

Felecia cried out softly as Zana leaped into Bahamut's path, forcing him away from the wall with wards. Kuja, use Ebony's Eldunari, you can draw energy from him with it, she said to him. She clutched the ring in her pocket, feeling energy coursing through it.

OOC:Hrm...this will be complicated, you know orginally Xaldin was born from a shade and an elf, he and Daidrea share the same mother different fathers. Kuja was just a result from the shade father...but w/e.

Bahamut snorted as Zana walked away. It still changes nothing he thought to himself.
At first Kuja stood silently as Zana spoke. He face was as blank as usual, unchanging. He turned and walked away slightly, thinking to himself. "I think you are mistaken Zana, when I awoke, I was already with a host...his father was a shade. I am merely a result of that."
Kuja moved to another side of the cave to be alone.


Bahamut began to laugh, deep rumbling occured in his chest. He landed down on the ground on his back two feet with a giant thud. "You are honored to meet me..? One who has killed many of our own kind..." he began to laugh again, "Creatures of this time do not cease to amuse me."

OOC:
Hm, this will be complicated. Maybe I could say that Kuja was placed in Xaldin shortly after his birth...no that wouldn't work because of the Shade father..hmmmm. Geldo could be the father..no that wouldn't work either.......I'm blank, I don't know what we can do to make this work, do you have anything that might work that we could wiggle into Kuja's, Xaldin's, and Daidrea's history?

IC:
Zana lowered her gaze as Kuja walked away,"Maybe I am wrong, but I highly doubt there's another Shade named Kuja out there." she said to his back.

Ebony tensed and looked straight into Bahamut's eyes. I can just as well not be honored to meet you. I know how many of our kin you killed. he said, his golden eyes flecked with red.

"Ebony, calm down, I'm sure Bahamut meant that in good humor." said Felecia, looking pointedly at Bahamut. I warn you now because I don't want you to get hurt by my dragon. Ebony has a temper, he can be normal, angry, or furious. When he's angry, he still has common sense, but when he's furious, run in the opposite direction, he has absolutely no control of his actions. Heed my warning and don't make Ebony angry or insult him in anyway, hehe, it might be the last thing you do, and I don't say this lightly, Ebony is dangerous when angered. she said to Bahamut, shivering slightly at his vast mind, full of power, anger, and hate.

OOC: Maybe.... I'll think of something next time I post.(not this time lol)

This time Bahamut burst out laughing. "The last thing I do? Age would be more likely to kill me than you." He lowered his head to Ebony's "I'll let you in on a secret, every dragon I have defeated never even managed to scratch me...and many of them were much greater than you are." He drew back his head, "Well, you might be able to...not fighting for thousands of years can take the edge off."


"It took 7 dragons and 12 elves to imprison me here."

OOC:
I'm baack.

IC:
Ebony's scales bristled angrily as Bahamut disregarded what he said. I bet my scales that you could beat me in a fair fight, but not before I dealt serious damage, I'm not boasting, simply stating my opinion. he said. Ebony opened his wings and laid them down on the ground, letting the muscles that keep them close to his body rest for awhile. He removed a figure from his saddle, and it turned out to be Wulfe,"What is he here for? And why are you carrying him?" asked Felecia and Zana in unison, both of them reaching for their swords. Calm down little ones, I brought him with me because everyone was bent on killing him, and with me gone, they wouldn't hesitate to kill him. he said, chuckling a little. Ebony turned to Zana and smiled. How long? he asked, she knew exactly what he was talking about. Four days to a week. she said, hiding a smile, Ebony's grin widened. Don't hide your joy Zana, I know how you feel. he said and laughed softly.

Felena slid through the wall and laid down next to Ebony. Would you like to see your daughter Eb? she asked. A small baby dragon peeked out from the earthy wall,"Daddy?" she squeaked and jumped onto his back. Ebony hummed happily and nuzzled his baby girl. Did you present her with names? he asked Felena. Yes, she chose Arianna, I think it fits her. Ebony watched Arianna settle down between a pair of his spikes and fall asleep. Arianna.. he whispered. Yes, it fits her very well. he slid his eyes over her very slim and dainty body, her teeth and talons were pure white, her scales were a mix of red and black, making a very dark maroon. Her eyes were a startling sky blue against her dark scales, all in all, a very well built dragon. Ebony smiled, pleased with Arianna's colors. Felena stretched her wings out then brought them back to her sides.

Zana took Arianna in her arms and sat against the wall, gazing at the sleeping dragon baby. She touched Arianna's head with her right hand, the one that had been marked before, and felt a tingling. She looked down at her hand and saw that it was glowing, then mind numbing pain took her hand, as the pain receded, she looked at her hand again. It looked like it had when she'd found Bain, glowing with power, and it felt the same too, as if she had been bit by a spider. Arianna chose me as a Rider. she realized, she looked over at Ebony and Felena to find them grinning like idiots. What are you grinning about? Are you okay that Arianna chose a Rider? she asked hesitantly. Ebony lowered his head and looked at Zana. Of course we're okay with it, we were actually hoping that she would chose someone. he said. Zana looked down lovingly at Arianna, grateful to the ends of the earth that she was chosen again, given a second chance.

Felecia smiled at Zana, knowing how she was feeling at the moment.

OOC: Come on...dont counter me with another counter...my dragon isnt that stupid....
Just go with what I put, it will make things interesting.
Sigh...though I do feel bad if I make you rewrite..

OOC:
That any better D? And don't feel bad, I welcome critique, so long as it's not to harsh, so that I can RP better.

Bahamut laughed in amusement. He eyed a Naza that snuck its way back in. He roared and charged after it. He grabbed it and took a giant bite at his head. He ripped it off with his razor teeth. He swallowed the head and finished off the body next. He licked the sides of his mouth of blood.

He looked at Arianna, "Not bad hatching, perhaps there is potential for you after all."

OOC:Beldo is the guy that wants Kuja and Felecia to mate right..?


Kuja passed out before he realized what was going on. Several hours later he awoke in a very dark cave. He looked around and saw Felecia next him still out cold. He kneeled over her and examined her. There was markings on her forehead. A mind control seal...
What is happening...?

OOC:
Yes.

IC:
Arianna woke up, she sensed that Kuja and Felecia were not near the group, she leaped to her feet and started to search for them. She found a large cave a quarter league away, she slowly ventured inside as she heard some pebbles desturbed. She froze, then continued slowly forward. Arianna growled lowly as she found Kuja with Felecia, who was unconscious,"What happened here?" she asked as Felecia stirred. Felecia opened her eyes, sat up, and almost burst into tears,"Oh Kuja, I'm so sorry, I tried to fight him, I really did, but I failed. He drew the mind control seal on my forehead and..and.." she couldn't continue. Arianna scanned Felecia's body with magic, her neck drooped with what she found,"She has concieved with child. He will be born in an hour and he will be fully grown in another hour." (OOC:Sorry D, I just felt really weird explaining it in detail, so I just skipped it completely.) she said. An evil laugh broke the silence,"This is just the beginning, when he is born, he will be the evilest person ever lived." Beldon said, Arianna snarled menacingly and bared her teeth,"Over, my, dead, body!" she exclaimed. She touched Kuja and Felecia with a claw and ported them all back to the group. Ebony approached Felecia, she hugged his neck tightly. Shh, easy little one, everything will be all right. he said. Zana leaped to her feet and walked to Kuja and Felecia, all the while muttering,"Damn, I should of been more watchful." she approached Kuja and Felecia,"Are you two all right?" she asked, Felecia nodded her head, saying that she was alright, physically anyway. Arianna shook her head at Bahamut,"I don't deserve that praise, I was simply protecting my friends from danger." she said.

OOC:
That was..eh..sudden.

IC:
Felecia realized what Kuja was going to do, but didn't stop him, she knew that it was for the best, even though intentonally killing a unborn child sounded barbaric, is was for the best. She felt Kuja's hand enter her stomach, crushing the baby's skull on impact, the pain shocked her and she cried out in pain and fell forward. Felecia felt herself being cought by Kuja and healed, then set down onto the ground. She cracked open her eyes and saw Zana kneeling over her,"Easy Felecia." she murmured as Felecia sat up. She felt her stomach, but didn't feel any life, the deed was done, the baby was dead. She got up onto her feet, drew her sword and slowly limped to the cave, leaning on the sword for support. She entered the cave and saw Kuja near the entrance, she overheard a little of the conversation between him and Beldon. As she walked to him,"Don't listen to Beldon Kuja, you are no monster." she said firmly. She limped up next to him and laid a hand on his shoulder, turning him slightly so he could see her face. Felecia turned away from him,"I'm sorry." she whispered, her voice cracking slightly, still leaning on the sword, at the moment, she looked very old, her eyes were a dull sapphire, not sparkling with life. Her skin in places were wrinkled from the stress of the last couple days, her hair didn't have that black sheen to it that framed her face and made her so beautiful to look at.

Ebony at first felt anger toward Kuja for killing the unborn child, but it desolved into understanding, he knew why Kuja did what he did, but in a humans eyes it would seem barbaric. He knew he could resurrect the child, but thought better of it. If Kuja and Felecia wanted a child, then they would do it without being forced to.

Felena licked Ebony's muzzle with her barbed tongue, knowing what he felt. She had been forced to mate with another dragon, she had asked her brother to kill the baby. He had complied with her wishes, but wasn't happy about them. She shuddered at the memory, and nuzzled Ebony's shoulder.

Arianna watched everything with interest, she saw Kuja kill the baby, and yet, when she scanned Felecia's body, she saw a sparkle of life, but she might of been mistaken.

Zana watched sadly as Felecia walked toward Kuja in the cave.

OOC:So was what you posted that it already happened, I was kinda hoping for that as soon as Kuja woke up that Felecia would THEN..do...well yea lol
Not its been done once he woke up. Sorry for being a guy but that took the fun out it lawl...
Plus I didnt expect the cave to be so close to Bahamut's lol...

ANYWAYS

IC: Kuja turned to Felecia, he quietly spoke "Why are you being sorry... it's my fault.." he didnt even finish and turned his head away.
Filled with sorrow and being exhausted Kuja sat down.
Bahamut snorted, Too bad the two legs was banished, he would have made a nice meal.

OOC:
I know it took the fun out of it..I just felt really weird, and plus it would of been hard to keep it E rated.

IC:
Felecia turned around to look at Kuja,"No, none of this is your fault...it's mine. I'm the one that wished for it in the first place. Remember my dream that was nigh impossible? My dream was to mate with the one I gave the ring to. And yes, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love you, but I wasn't sure if you wanted to go that far. That's why I hesitated when you asked me what was wrong, I had been planning to give the ring to Mesaraih, but when you came I got confused with my feelings, so, out of gut feelings, I gave you the ring." she turned away from him, her wings heavy on her back,"I forgive you wholeheartedly for what you did, I know why you did it." she felt a small movement in her stomach but ignored it. Felecia withdrew the sparkling gold ring from a pocket,"I also understand why you doubted your feelings." she turned the ring around in her hand.

Ebony grumbled to himself and laid down on the hard ground, knowing that the conversation between Kuja and Felecia was personal.

Arianna sat down and waitrf for Kuja and Felecia to return.

Zana motioned at the earth underneath her feet and seven dead year old baby dragons appeared, but she put a spell on them to make them look like humans. I know they look like humans Bahamut, but their really dragons, I put a spell on them so that Ebony and Arianna wouldn't be upset. Eat, I know you must be starving. she said to Bahamut gently, gesturing at the "humans".

OOC:
Hey D, it's almost 1am here, so I need to log off, otherwise my mother will bite my head off tomarrow for staying up late. This will probably be my last post tonight, I will post you later D.

OOC: First off, pretty sure its far from "E" rated, we got heavy violence, swearing, and stuff to do with...you know..
I mean I wasnt going to go into THAT much detail like the ummm action itself...

You know its interesting, I havent found a topic for RPG rules on how far we can draw the line when it comes to this stuff. I dont know maybe its just me but there are some areas in posts that can be mature rated, just nothing adult rated.

But I can see you would be a little unconfortable when it comes to this anyways. Even though its not real. I would be a bit creeped out too if a 16 year old perverted guy like myself would have me having to describe...that.


Lol...ok then back to rping.

IC: Kuja remained silent while Felecia spoke. He didnt know what he was feeling or thinking. When she mentioned Mesaraih, something dawned on him.
He turned his head towards her, "Why did you choose me anways?"

Bahamut lowered his head to the ground and began gulping up the dragon baby corpses. After finishing he felt tired all of a sudden so he laid on his stomach to take a quick nap.

OOC:
D, your not perverted....just creepy. jk jk

IC:
Felecia turned back to Kuja,"I chose you because my heart said it was the right thing to do. Now however, I'm not sure what my heart is telling me." she held up the ring and made it hover between them, glimmering in the light,"With Beldon gone, you and I are safe, at the moment. There is yet another fiend coming for Zana's child, we need to protect her at all costs, because the person after her.." she paused, then continued,"is Zana's father." she said. Felecia grabbed the ring from the air,"She protected us the best she could, now I think we should return the favour." she sheathed her sword and made a staff appear in her hands. Felecia set the staff on the ground and tested it's strength, pleased, she started back toward the group.

OOC:
Gotta go do something with my mom, gonna be gone awhile, you can text me if you want.

Kuja quickly gazed over at Zana then turned back to Felecia. He nodded merely in agreement.

Bahamut yawned as he remained laying on the ground.


OOC: Dont got much atm, but once we deal with Zana's father I was thinking about pushing the plot forward like 15 years. I have an idea where Kuja and Felecia do have a child but something like Kuja disappears right after Felecia concieves and the kid doesnt know who his father is or something like that. We could pick up from there. We dont need to make a character bio for him since this is confined to this post anyways.

OOC:
Um, okay, but what about Elfrida, Death Haunt, Blacknight, Ella, Ebony, Gedel, Geldo, Midnight, Magic and Raven? Should I bring them into the cave now, or a little later?

IC:
Zana tensed,"He is coming." she whispered. She climbed onto Arianna just as she had another growth spurt, Arianna was now almost six times larger than before, almost fully grown. Zana drew her sword and readied herself,"Be careful, my father is cunning and hard to beat, the only weakness I know that he has is heights. So if we can get him near the edge of the cliff, he will freeze up and we can kill him." she said, stroking Arianna's maroon scales. A single figure walked up to them, his stride had a pronounced limp in it. Boceth (OOC: Zana's father) smiled at his daughter, his white teeth perfectly even and straight,"Hello pumpkin, your child nice and healthy?" he asked, his tone seeming pleasant, but Zana heard the evil malice in it,"Don't ever call me that again." she hissed angrily. Boceth quick as lightning drew his sword and leaped at her, landing in front of her on Arianna's neck, his sword at her throat,"You never did learn how to respect me." he snarled, Zana blinked her eyes,"I never respected you because you treated me like dirt!" she barked angrily,"Thrysta!" she exclaimed, making him go flying backward a few feet. Boceth spit the earth out of his mouth and scrambled to his feet, still holding his sword, he saw Felecia nearby and grabbed her, his sword at the nape of her neck,"You won't harm me if you have to harm her as well." he said, Zana's eyes widened in fear,"You wouldn't dare." she whispered, Boceth laughed evilly,"Try me, pumpkin." he smirked. He pressed the blade into Felecia's flesh, slicing her skin a little and making her whimper in pain. All sense left Zana she was so angry, she slowly climbed off Arianna and walked toward him, she stopped when she was right in his face,"If you hurt Felecia one more time, your going to wish you were never born." she snarled. Boceth smiled and twisted his sword in Felecia's neck, making her cry out,"What in the world could you do to me?" he asked, simply not believing that his daughter would dare challenge him. Zana's eyes turned completely black, making the smile disappear from his face, she wrenched Felecia from his grip, making them both stumble. She stuck her sword up in his stomach and whispered in his ear,"I'll going to give you a taste of your own medicine, something you've been doing with me for my whole life." she withdrew her sword then stuck a dagger there. Boceth howled loudly then cursed under his breath.

Felecia joined the fight from behind Boceth, she grabbed a dagger and stuck it in his thigh,"That's for slicing my neck." she hissed, pulling the dagger upwards.

Ebony knew the girls could handle Boceth, but he kept alert in case things got out of hand.

Felena shuffled from foot to foot, something was coming over her, she had the sudden urge to help Boceth. She shifted into a Lethrblaka and leaped at him, he mounted and placed a bridle on her head as well. The bridle that controlled Midnight and Blacknight. she thought in horror. He turned her toward Felecia and Zana,"I must go now, this wasn't the real battle, it was just the beginning." he said and laughed. Boceth clucked to Felena and she launched into the air, her leathery wings beating fast, carrying them away before anyone could stop them.

Wulfe walked up next to Zana, he touched her shoulder hesitantly, he jumped back slightly as she glanced at him, her face was like thunder and her eyes, oh her eyes were just plain scary. But it vanished in a millisecond, her eyes now a light brown and her face looked taught, but pleasant,"What Wulfe? Here to cause trouble?" she asked, her tone implying that she was in no mood to fight him,"No, I just wanted to see if you were okay." he said, Felecia and Zana glanced at each other in surprise,"Yes, were fine." said Zana, still looking surprised.

Arianna tried to break the spell on her mother, but to no avail. My powers are still maturing, what should I expect? she thought.

OOC: I am not so worried about morwen's charies. She can join again later if she shows up.
I think everyone can just go seperate ways for now. We can jump ahead now if you want. I got some great ideas for it anyways.

OOC:
Okay, lets do this. But lets at least get back to the Urgal city before we do a time skip, doing it right now would get me confused.

IC:
Wulfe slipped out of the cave, called Murtagh and Thorn and flew back to Uru'baen unnoticed.

Elfrida decided to remain at the Urgal city until Ebony, Felena, Kuja, Arianna, Felecia and the others returned.

Death wanted to move on, but knew he could never leave Elfrida alone, so he stayed.

Blacknight and Midnight searched for his herd and found them grazing near the edge of the desert with Leira and Blane in charge. Leira welcomed Midnight and warily let him have control, she had learned many useful things from being head mare, but it was good to be normal again. Blane touched Midnight's nose in the traditional horse greeting,"Welcome back brother." he said with a smile. Blacknight watched all of this then approached Blane, he stepped back respectfully from her, she touched noses with him,"Thank you for helping Leira take care of the herd while we were gone." she said, then stepped back. Midnight turned to her,"Go back to the Urgal city, Elfrida needs you, but know that you are always welcome in my herd." he said, she hesitated. A strange feeling had been coming over her the last couple days, she kind of liked Midnight more than just as a friend, but she didn't exactly love him. Blacknight looked into his soft brown eyes,"I will go back if you do." she said firmly. Midnight smiled,"I will go back, the Urgals need horses, and my herd is tired of being hungry. We can help the Urgals and in return, food and shelter, that's all we want at the moment." he headed the herd toward the city, and in under a half hour, they were there. Midnight spoke with the Herndall and came to an agreement, Midnight's herd would help the Urgals fight in battles and building houses in the town. And they were to be treated like a person, not a beast of burden. Midnight offered to carry the Herndall, but he/she refused, saying that he was offering enough with his herd. Blacknight and Midnight trotted warily to the feasting halls and ate a bale of hay.

Zeke noticed that his food rations got smaller and smaller and he realized he was eating the Urgals food storage's down to almost nothing. He and Ella decided that they had over stayed their welcome and bade farewell to their friends. Ella hugged Elfrida and whispered in her ear,"If you ever have need of my blade, whisper my true name under your breath and I will come with all speed." she spoke in her mind. I'm putting my trust in you with this information, don't let it fall into the wrong hands. My true name is: Brisingr Kveykva. Use it well. then broke away. Zeke lowered his head to Death's level. Remember my friend, keep a straight head and inspect the ones you think are enemies before you attack. he said with a small smile. Death hid his face in embarrassment. Don't worry Zeke, I'll remember. he said, still hiding his face. Zeke extended a foreleg to let Ella mount. She settled in the saddle and Zeke opened his wings, letting the soft breeze blow by them. He took off into the air and positioned himself toward the Boers, toward the Varden.

Raven walked slowly toward the feasting halls, thinking about where he should go, Lena was taking care of his herd so he didn't really need to worry about that.

Magic followed Zeke on the ground, it felt good for him to be running again, and he knew that he was going to be running a lot in the next few days. He neighed shrilly and kicked up his heels, eager for adventure.

Felecia mounted Ebony,"Come everyone, Bahamut broke the seal so we can leave, and personally, I feel like I could sleep for a week." she said warily. Ebony walked out of the huge cave and into the open, squinting against the bright sun. He took off into the air and started flying toward the Urgal city.

Arianna offered a foreleg for Zana to step on to get to the saddle. After Zana settled, she followed her father into the open, wincing as the bright light hurt her dark accustomed eyes. She extended her wings and launched into the sky, twisting and turning in the air.

Felena fought the spell on the bridle and won. She shook Boceth off and watched him plunge to his death. She quickly flew back to the cave and landed next to Kuja, she didn't bother shifting to a dragon, a Lethrblaka would have to do. Felena closed her wings so that he could climb onto her back into the leather saddle. She muttered a spell and a un-enchanted bridle appeared on her head. The reins draped around her thick, powerful neck. Mount me, and I will carry you back to the Urgal city. she said gently to Kuja before turning her head to Bahamut. You can follow us if you wish or go your own way. she said to him, then stood still so Kuja could mount her.

Gedel decided he could try to get a position in the Varden and jumped onto Magic's back. Don't worry Magic, I just want a ride to the Varden. he said before the powerful horse could unseat him. Very well, said Magic, But at least have a saddle. a leather saddle appeared underneath Gedel and a bridle on Magic's head. Gedel held onto the saddle with his knees and gently took the reins, just using them as something to hold onto than something to direct Magic with, as it seemed like Magic knew where he was going. He took a snatch of mane to hold onto as well.

Geldo sensed Zana returning and ran out of the city, he felt that she was coming from the west, turned to that direction and waited for her to show on the horizon, astride her dragon, Arianna.

OOC:
Okay, I think I got everyone.lol

OOC: Nice. So did you want to control the boy since hes probably with you anyways? Anyways 15 year jump go!



Bahamut was sleeping in the cave that had once imprisoned him. He was so used to it he didnt feel like moving anywhere else. He opened his bright yellows eys when he heard something moving towards him. He lifted up his head.
I recognize your scent two-legs.
A man in a black robe and hood appeared.
"I felt as if I was drawn here...it's familiar."
You were here 15 years ago.
"Was I..? I..I.. dont know."
You seem different two legs... as if you dont recognize me.
"I dont, I've never seen you before."
Bahamut puffed out some smoke from his nostrils. Well I have seen you before, but I have never known your name. What is it?
"...My name?" There was a long silence. "I have no name."
I see, so you know longer know who you are?
"Who I was..no, all I remember was waking up a few days ago."
Perhaps you should seek your past.
"Does it matter who I was..? I am different...maybe even reborn."
What will you do?
"Who knows, maybe just live the rest of my days alone." The man in the black robe and hood turned and left."
Bahamut stared as he left. Hmmm I will never understand two-legs...even if I am one of dragon. He laid his head back down to sleep.

OOC:
Wow, dude, you do confusing posts sometimes.

IC:
Felecia, Ebony, Zana, Arianna, Midnight, and Blacknight had been traversing the Hadarac for fifteen years now, mapping out the land, and every now and again reporting back to the Varden. Felecia's son, Hain, was now just over five years old. Oddly, Kuja had disappeared shortly after she had conceived. Felecia had searched for months until she couldn't without putting her baby's health in jeopardy, she pined for weeks for Kuja to come back to her, her love for him being great. Hain was a feisty little boy, always wanting attention and liking to show things that he made to everyone. Arianna, who had taken up a mate, had an egg. She had presented it to Hain in hopes it would hatch, the egg had seemed like it would hatch, but didn't. Arianna was sure the hatchling inside was waiting for Hain to be old enough to be a Rider. Felecia looked down at the sleeping Hain in her arms and smiled. Kuja might be gone, but I still have Hain. she thought. The group had stopped back at the Urgal town to check up on Elfrida, and Death, who had decided to stay in one place for awhile. Felecia dismounted Ebony and walked into the city, walking directly to Elfrida's house. She knocked on the door and a voice answered,"Just a minute." two seconds later Elfrida opened the door,"Felecia!" she exclaimed, and jumped forward to hug her. Felecia returned the embrace,"Oh, it's so good to see you again." she said and smiled,"As you can see, Hain is growing up fast." she said and lifted Hain up so that Elfrida could see him, then her smile faltered a little,"But Kuja disappeared shortly after I conceived, I don't know where he is." Elfrida stroked Hain's soft cheek while listening to Felecia,"I know where he might be." she said softly, and looked up at Felecia,"A little while ago I felt Bahamut stir in his cave, and I felt another presence as well," she hesitated for a moment then continued,"I don't want to get your hopes up, but the other presence I sensed..felt like Kuja." she said. Felecia's eyes sparkled with hope, but quickly dimmed,"No, you must of been mistaken. With the amount of time that Kuja has been missing I doubt he's still alive. I still have hope, but I also have doubt." she said, a small sparkle of hope remained in her eyes. She shifted her wings slightly, giving them a more comfortable position under her cloak. Felecia stepped into the cool house and found the crib that Elfrida had made for Hain, it was to small now, but she looked toward Zana. Zana nodded and spoke a word or two in the Ancient Language of the Elves. The crib convulsed and morphed into a bed. Felecia smiled and pulled back the covers, set her baby on the bed, and covered him back up.

Zana walked up next to Felecia and laid a hand on her shoulder,"Felecia, I felt it too." she said gently, Felecia shook her head,"Like I said, Kuja has been missing for a little more than five years. The desert is unforgiving, if he went out on his own.." she shuddered. Zana sqeezed her shoulder,"He's alive, I can feel it." she said. She walked into the kitchen,"Serenity? Are you in the house?" she called out, a faint voice answered,"Yes mom, I'm here." it said. A pettite teenage girl walked into view, her wavy chocolate brown hair swaying gracefully from side to side. Serenity had been born two days after they all got back to the city, they didn't know the father, though everyone suspected Geldo. Zana was proud of her little girl, although Serenity was getting a little to old to be called little girl anymore, she was turning fifteen in three days. Zana hugged her daughter close, savoring the moment. It seemed like yesterday that Serenity was just a baby, now she was almost a grown woman. Serenity returned the embrace, happy that her mother was home again, hopefully for good this time,"So what's for lunch?" she asked, breaking away from Zana as gently as she could,"I'm pretty hungry." Zana placed her hands on her hips and turned to Elfrida,"You have been feeding her right?" she asked sternly, but with playful humor in her voice. Elfrida pretended to wince,"I let her feed herself, what and when she eats, I don't know." she said. Zana laughed and slapped her thigh,"I'm just teasing Elfrida, you know that." she said, Elfrida chuckled,"I know Zana, but you know it's hard to tell with you when your teasing and when your serious." she said. Zana smiled and continued making lunch, beef stew with fresh bread. Five minutes later, lunch was ready. She picked up a tray and carried it into the large room where everyone was gathered, Death at her heels. Do you have any fresh meat? he asked as she set the tray on a table in the middle of the room,"Here you go Death." she said, and picked up a peice of meat just for him. Death licked his chops and took the meat, taking it to his corner of the room. He laid down and started eating the meat, savoring the juicy, tangy flavor. Zana smiled and sat in a chair,"Come and get it!" she yelled, Felecia, Elfrida, Serenity, and Geldo walked into the room. They each took a bowl of beef stew and sat in a chair. Zana grinned like an idiot and kissed Geldo on the cheek,"Hey hon, you feeling alright?" she asked, Geldo smiled and kissed her back,"I would feel better if you stayed in one place for awhile." he replied, taking a spoon full of stew.

Arianna jumped over the city wall, and walked over to Elfrida's. She laid down next to the house and looked through the large window. Hello Serenity. she said. Serenity started and looked out the window to see a huge maroon dragon. Uh, who are you? she asked, her voice shaking. Arianna snorted. Didn't Zana ever tell you she was a Dragon Rider? Twice? she asked, her voice portraying that she was annoyed. No, she never said anything. said Serenity. Well, Bain was her first, a white dragon who was very wise. I'm her second, as you can see, I'm maroon, and my name is Arianna. said Arianna. Serenity continued eating her stew, then quietly asked her mother,"Why didn't you tell me you were a Rider?" Zana froze then turned toward the window,"You told her? Didn't you?" she said softly. Arianna hung her head slightly. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to. she said, projecting her thoughts so that everyone in the room could hear her. Serenity stepped up next to the window,"No, don't blame Arianna. Now answer my question: Why didn't you tell me your a Rider?" Zana sighed,"I did it to protect you. Galbatorix is looking for children of Riders. I'm a Rider, your my daughter, he's looking for you now." Serenity stayed where she was, shocked,"You were protecting me?" she asked. Now Zana looked shocked,"Of course! Why wouldn't I protect my daughter?" Serenity looked hurt,"You were never around to protect me. You were always out gallavanting in the desert." now Zana looked thunderous, without looking at the others she said,"Could everyone please leave me and Serenity alone for a moment?" her voice tought. Everyone picked up there food, including Death, and left the room. Zana looked at her daughter,"Everything I've done was for you. I'm sorry if my trying to protect you against Galbatorix made your life miserable, but I did my best." she said. Serenity clenched her hands into fists,"Maybe my life wouldn't of been so miserable if you had told me why you were away so often, you know how much I love you, I want to spend time with you, but I can't really do that when your half way across the desert." she said. Arianna growled loudly to get their attention. Fighting will get you no where, you both should know that by now! I mean no offense Zana, but you should of told Serenity that you were a Rider. Twice! Do you think I'm going to tell my hatchling that I'm a wild dragon? No! I'm going to tell her that I'm bonded to a loving Shade that loves her dragon and daughter dearly! she shouted, absolutely furious that her family was fighting amongst themselves. Serenity trembled slightly, never having seen a angry dragon before, terrified. Now, can we continue eating? asked Arianna, as if nothing happened. Zana called everyone back in and sat stiffly back onto her stool.

Blacknight trotted into the stable behind the Elfrida's house, she found Raven already there. She walked into her stall and started munching hay, watching her father. Raven had been getting weaker over the years, and she knew it, he could still function, fight in battles and lead his herd, but it was a struggle for him. All he really did nowadays was stand in the stable and watch the goings ons from the window in front of him. Are you alright father? she asked hesitantly, Raven slowly turned his head toward her. I'm fine my darling, I'm not sick or anything. Age is catching up with me, and quickly to. I fear I might die within the week. he said, his voice raspy from shouting orders to his herd. Blacknight looked his body over. His once beautiful feiry chestnut coat, was now a very dull copper, his soft brown eyes were full of knowledge, but full of suffering as well. His once coal black mane and tail were now almost grey. Raven was getting old, she had to admit that, but she couldn't fathom the idea of him dieing, she just couldn't. But father, your in the prime- she started, but Raven cut her off. No Blacknight Finella, I'm not in the prime of my youth, I'm almost over forty years old. he said, Blacknight studied his face closely. What did you just call me? she asked, having never had anyone call her that before. Raven turned his entire body toward her now. I said Blacknight Finella. My full name is Raven Finella, your mother, since she was my mate, was Adurna Finella, so it's only right that your Blacknight Finella, Finella is your last name. he said. Blacknight continued munching as Raven turned back to the window, thinking about what he just told her.

Midnight followed Blacknight into the stable, he went into his stall which was next to hers. How are you doing? he asked, nibbling on some oats that was in his food box. My stomach is getting rounder everyday, but otherwise, I'm fine. she said. Blacknight had gotten pregnant ten or eleven months ago, Elfrida was pretty sure that the father was Midnight, but hadn't said anything until a few weeks ago. Blacknight on the other hand, had known all along that the father was Midnight. Midnight had known as well, though hadn't said anything. When everyone discovered that she was pregnant, they had insisted that she stay at the Urgal city, for her safety and the foals, but she had refused, saying that she was as fit as a fiddle and could still do things. But a couple months later, when they were at the edge of the desert, Blacknight had almost collasped and died from exhaustion. Midnight had refused for anything to be put on her back then on, but every now and again Blacknight would sneak a sleeping roll onto her back and carry it for awhile. Now Midnight could see that she was very grateful to get back. Elfrida set down her stew and went into the stable, she walked up until she was in front of Blacknight, then hugged her neck tightly,"I missed you so much Blacknight, you have no idea. It's no fun just having Death to talk to." she said, just as Death walked in to welcome Blacknight home. Oh sure, I'm so boring. he said playfully, and Elfrida blushed,"I didn't mean-" she started to say, but Death cut her off with a rumbling laugh. Don't worry Elfrida, I knew what you meant. he said and chuckled. Midnight touched Elfrida's arm. How long? he asked, and Elfrida knew immaidetly what he meant. She scanned Blacknight's body with magic, taking small amounts of energy from her friends,"About one day, maybe two." she said, smiling. Midnight beamed with pride.

OOC:
Okay..I think I've got everyone. And sorry I took so long to respond, I have friends over from Indiana and I thought it would be rude to get on the computer with them here, and plus I really had to think about my post, I even had to write part of it in wordpad. Anyways, here it is, hope it's good. Jeez, I think this is the longest post I've ever done...good grief.

OOC: Lol, that was unexpected. I was kinda expecting that we had Hain alot earlier and he would be like 14 now. Like the same age as Serenity...maybe younger idk. Oh well lawl.


Bahamut awoke once more. Perhaps I have been sleeping too much...

He was thinking about the two-legs that was here 15 years ago. He didnt see anyone else until him again now. I wonder if I should inform his comrades about him. Hmm... I wonder what has happened to him.

Bahamut lifted himself and stood on his two legs. He yawned lazily then unfolded his wings. He made a hole in the ceiling for himself to come and go as he pleased. He took flight and went upwards out of the cave. Once outside he hovered over the hole looking about the land. Mmmm, I can sense a few of them a couple hundred miles away. He roared out and began flying in their direction. Several hours later he saw a small area of a few houses.
Ah, so they have settled here. Heh, interesting choice to live out in the desert...they must be hiding. Bahamut flew downward and landed with a giant thud roughly 50 feet away from the houses.
After landing he stood upward arms crossed. He decided to wait for them instead of approach.

Everyone suddenly felt the earth shake slightly, they all looked out the window and found Bahamut standing there with his arms crossed. Arianna flew out to greet him. Bahamut-elda, welcome to our home. she said, her sky blue eyes sparkling. (OOC:Yet another interruption.lol) Just as she was about to ask Bahamut if he would join them, Galbatorix and Shruikan landed behind him. Arianna rolled her eyes. Not those idiots again. she muttered. In the language of the humans,"And what brings you here O mighty King?" she snapped, her eyes flashing. Shruikan snarled at her,"None of your beeswax." he said, Arianna ground her teeth, but kept her temper in check,"It's my beeswax if your messing with my friends and family." she said, her voice calm, but stern. Galbatorix smirked,"If you must know, we're here for him." he said, and jerked a thumb towards Bahamut. Arianna positioned herself between them and Bahamut,"Unfortunately for you, I consider Bahamut a friend, so back off." she said, then reached for Bahamut's mind. Be prepared to fight, things might get nasty. she said to him, then retreated back to her own mind. Shruikan snickered,"And what are you gonna do about it huh? Chase me around in a circle until I get dizzy? Ha! You couldn't do even that, hatchling!" he snarled. Arianna's eyes flared with fire,"Don't, ever, call, me, that, again!" she shouted, taking a step with each word until she was face to face with Shruikan,"I may be small, but my power is great." she said, and roared louder than any dragon her size had ever done before. Ebony, Felena, and Bain landed behind her. Arianna opened her maw and blew her maroon star fire, star fire was her special fire that she only used in things like this. What it did was it drained anyone it touched of their energy and gave it to her. Her chest swelled as Galby's and Shruikans energy filled her being, making her even stronger. She muttered a word or two in the dragon tongue and Shruikan and Galbatorix shuddered as they heard her speak,"We will leave, but know now, that we will be back later to collect what we want." they said in unison, and retreated into the sky towards Uru'baen. Arianna watched them go, then turned to Bahamut, the figures of Ebony, Felena and Bain disappearing behind her. I swear, Galbatorix and Shruikan are the stupidest dragon and Rider pair I've ever met, they never give up, even when defeat is uninvitable. she said, and shook her head. She lifted her wings in preparation for flight. I invite you to join us Bahamut, you are probably hungry. she said.

Zana watched the argument from Arianna's eyes, seeing everything. She waited for her dragon and Bahamut to come back.

Ebony laid down in the dragon stable that Elfrida, Zana, Felecia, and Serenity had built for when the dragons were there. Felena laid down next to him in the special stall they had built so they could be together. He nuzzled her. Happy to be home again my love? he asked, twinning his tail with hers. She smiled. Yes I am, it's always good to be home. she said.

Felecia finished her stew and set the bowl in the kitchen. She removed her cloak and stretched her wings,"Man, I hate having my wings under that darn cloak, they get really stiff afterward." she muttered, walking to the dragon stable to be with her dragon. Hello Eb, Fel. she said, laying in between Ebony's front paws. Ebony rumbled happily in his chest. Felecia, you are distressed, tell me what's wrong. he said. Felecia closed her eyes. Zana never told Serenity that she was a Rider, Serenity isn't exactly happy with her mother right now. she said. Ebony shifted his wings. Ah, now I know why Zana was so irritable when I talked to her. You need to let them figure it out themselves. he said, Felecia smiled slightly. I know that Eb, it's just stressful, their barely talking to each other. she said. Ebony chuckled. Any fight that happens within a family is stressful, remember when you and I were fighting with each other? You walked on the ground while I followed above you, we never even spoke to each other for days, if not even weeks. he said, and Felecia burst out laughing at the memory. I remember alright, and let me tell you, I hope we never do that again. she said, barely able to speak she was laughing so hard. Ebony lifted his head as someone else entered the stable. It was Hain. Hain walked forward into his mothers arms,"Momma, where's daddy?" he asked, the same question that he'd been asking for three years now. Felecia said the same answer,"He's out on a mission for the Varden." Hain accepted the answer and cuddled in her arms. She rested her cheek on his head. Oh Kuja, where are you? We need you. she thought, touching the ring with her hand.

Death entered the dragon stable and laid down next to Felecia. Hello, welcome home Felecia, Ebony, and Felena, we all missed you very much. he said, and smiled wolfishly.

Blacknight laid down on the straw, resting her side on the wall. She laid her head down on the straw, her eye lids drifting closed. Midnight entered her stall and laid next to her to keep her warm. Sleep, I'll wake you if something happens. he said gently, laying his head next to hers. Alright, but wake me in an hour or two. she said, and almost immediately fell asleep.

OOC:
I'm getting to many characters, I'm starting to forget some in my posts.

OOC: Lol you dont have to post for all of them, just ones that are needed or mentioned. Otherwise it's a waste of time.


Bahamut watched silently as the conflict occured. He made no movement, even when his name was mentioned by the two-legs.
He remained the way he was even after they left.
Bahamut was a little confused what to do. He didnt remember anyones name....he was bad with names...
So far only the young dragon was out to greet him so he decided for one of the two legs to show up. He could sense more of them than he remembered. More hatchlings? Hmph..

He was becoming a little annoyed waiting, he snorted out some black smoke out of his nostrils.


OOC: Remember you dont have to make your posts extremely long unless you feel like it.

Serenity sensed a dragon outside the city and went out to greet him. What she saw surprised her, a dragon that stood on it's back legs. He had three horns on his head, wings that were almost twice as big as himself, and yellow eyes. She looked him over once or twice then remembered that Zana had told her about a large dragon named Bahamut that looked just like the dragon in front of her. She twisted her hand above her sternum in the Elven greeting,"Bahamut-elda, my mother has told me about you, and speaks highly of you. My name is Serenity."

Zana pricked her pointed ears as Bahamut landed a few feet away from their village. She disappeared in smoke, reappearing next to her daughter in a puff of smoke,"Bahamut-elda, I've not seen you for fifteen years, how have you fared?" she asked.

Elfrida left the horse stable mounted on Midnight and approached Bahamut,"I've been expecting you Bahamut-elda." she said, Midnight snorted quietly and pawed the ground with a hoof. She patted his neck comfortingly. I know you don't like to be around strange dragons, but Bahamut isn't strange at all, he's a very old friend. she said to him. Midnight rolled his eyes. I'm not afraid of him, I'm just nervous around things that are that big. he said, eyeing how far away Bahamut's head was from the ground.

Felecia set Hain down. Will you two watch him for a minute? she asked, wanting to welcome Bahamut to their home. Of course Felecia. they said. Felecia smiled and spread her wings, she flapped them slightly and took flight. She flew out to Bahamut and greeted him, remaining hovering in the air, beating her wings rhythmically.

OOC:
Okay, only posted the people that were needed.

Bahamut looked down at the two-legs that walked up to him. He lowered himself to her and looked at her. Him breathing out his nose was so heavy that it caused her hair to move. Then he tilted his head to the side slightly and inspected her with his big yellow eye.
After a few moments of staring he lifted his head back up.

Then her mother spoke to him. He didnt really feel like answering. He spent most time secluded to himself.
When some one he didnt know also appeared, he took little intrest and merely gave Elfrida a stare then turned away.

Finally when Felecia showed up, he couldnt help but be a little suprised. A two legs with wings...

Bahamut spoke to her, One of your comrades appeared to me nigh a month ago.( I know that was a long time inbetween all of a sudden but Bahamut sleeps long periods of time.) [i]I dont know his name though... he has never actually told me. The reason I am here is not that he showed up, it's the fact he doesnt know who he is. All he remembers was waking up a few days before he arrived at my cave. So perhaps you should look for him.[/i]

Felecia stopped breathing,"Kuja is alive?" she whispered. She touched the ring with her hand,"Thank the first dragon." she said. She started feeling the ring pulling her toward a certain spot a few miles away. She turned toward Bahamut,"Thank you for the information." she said, then spread her wings and took flight into the air, hoping fervently that where the ring was taking her was where Kuja was. Felecia touched the sapphire crystal on her necklace, the one that Kuja had given her, the one that she'd worn everyday since he had disappeared. She had been storing her energy in it for a few years now, it pulsed heavily with it. She took some energy from it and closed her eyes. She reached toward the bump in her mind that was her true power. She breached it and her power coursed through her body, she asked the earth if Kuja had walked on it yet, and it said no, but that Kuja was a few more miles ahead walking toward her. Felecia beat her wings harder, the rings pull getting more urgent.

Elfrida touched her scar, which hadn't pained her in almost fifteen years. It was paining her now. Wulfe is near. she thought, and drew her sword despite her disability with it. Thorn landed with Murtagh and Wulfe on his back. Midnight tapped into his power, making his mane and tail burst into black flames. She smiled,"What do you want Wulfe?" she asked, her voice strained because of the scar, it was bleeding slightly and hurt badly. Wulfe brandished his sword then sheathed it,"You are looking for Kuja correct?" he asked, she nodded,"Well, I'm here to help you look for him, lil sis." he said, and smiled warmly. Elfrida giggled, then chuckled, then burst out laughing, she had to grab onto a peice of Midnight's flaming mane to stay mounted. She collected herself then turned back to Wulfe,"Okay, what is it that your really here for?" she asked, still chuckling. Wulfe smiled evilly,"Do you really want to know?" he asked. She rolled her eyes,"let me guess, capture me, kill my friends, the whole shabang." she said. Wulfe laughed,"Yep, you guessed it, now surrender." he said. Elfrida sighed and prepared to use magic,"Wulfe, you should know by now that I will never do that." she said. He grinned and jestured with a hand. Death came into view, a sword at his throat, ready to be slit at the order. She changed into her golden cat form, and pounced toward Wulfe. She knocked him off Thorn's back and pinned him to the ground. Let. Him. Go. she snarled, placing one of her paws against his neck. He smirked,"If you surrender, sure. If not, then, go, to, hell." he snarled. Elfrida screamed a cat scream,"Your the one that needs to go to hell!" she shouted, getting ready to slice his neck open. Ebony landed and lifted her off Wulfe, preventing her from killing him. Remember Elfrida, it's not his time to die just yet, you read his future yourself, curb your hate for a little longer. he said, and set her back down. She yowled quietly, but did what Ebony said. Wulfe recoiled from Ebony slightly.

OOC:
Sorry, I'm being lazy and not doing the others. My mother put a password lock thingy on the internet, now I can't get on unless she says so. *growls* You should of seen me this morning, I was absolutely livid with her, and believe me, I'm scary when I angry, now imagine me being livid, not very pretty.

OOC:
Okay D, I was finally able to convince my mom to let me on SF.lol

IC:
Felecia flew for another hour and came upon a small cave. She scanned it with magic and found someone that she knew very well. Kuja.. she thought. She turned back around and landed a mile away, close enough to watch him, but far enough away to let him rest.

Zana smiled slightly as Felecia flew away. She turned to Bahamut,"Thank you for the information, Felecia has been very distracted the last couple years, probably worrying if Kuja is alive or not." she said. Bain nudged her mind. It's time little one, let me out again like you did 15 years ago. he said. Zana closed her eyes, caressing his Eldunari. Energy scorched through her as she concentrated on letting Bain out of his shell. A stream of light lanced from it, forming into a large, white, dragon body. The stream ended and Bain opened his silvery white eyes, looking straight at Bahamut. Hello again. I would heed Galby's and Shruikan's warning if I were you. They do have the means of capturing you. I'm saying this because I don't want to see you in their dirty hands, watch your tail carefully. he said. Zana touched his leg, the closest thing that she could touch. Bain, dearest, how do I do that? she asked. Bain lowered his head until it was level with her. You can do it partly because your bonded with me. Secondly, your power allows you to do things that are forbidden to others. Thirdly, your half-elf half-Shade. he said, licking her arm with his barbed tongue. Zana touched her forehead to his snout, he started purring softly.

Felena nuzzled little-son to Felecia-Hain on the cheek. Hello little one, my name is Felena. she said. Hain blinked. My mother has told me about you. You and Ebony are Arianna's parents. he said, Felena smiled wolfishly. Yes we are. Did you know that Arianna offered you an egg? she asked, Hain grinned. Yes, but somehow I know that he won't be born until I'm seven or eight. he said. Felena covered him with a wing.

Serenity looked at the huge white dragon that appeared and guessed by the way her mother reacted that he was her first dragon, Bain. She walked up to her mother, looked her in the eye, then wrapped her arms about her,"Oh mom, I'm so sorry I got angry with you." she said. Zana smiled and returned the embrace,"No, I'm the one that should be sorry. I never told you about Bain or Arianna. I deserved your anger." she said. Serenity broke away, then turned to Bain. I'm honored to meet one as wise as you, Bain-elda. she said. Bain exhaled a breath. And I'm honored to meet my Rider's daughter. he said.

Ebony watched Elfrida carefully, making sure that she didn't try to jump Wulfe again.

Elfrida glared at Wulfe with hateful eyes, but kept her cool. She changed bach to human form, mounted Midnight and turned to go back to the stable.

Wulfe mounted Thorn behind Murtagh and flew back to Uru'bean.

Arianna glowered at Thorn, who winced. He quickly took to the sky's, trying to escape her piercing gaze. She snorted and turned back to Zana. We should probably go back. she said, Zana climbed onto her back and settled in the saddle. Arianna glanced up at tall-ancient-dragon-Bahamut. You can come back with us if you want. Your probably hungry, we have plenty of food. she said, then lifted into the sky. She flew the short distance back to their houses followed by everyone else. She landed at the entrance and Ebony, Bain, Serenity on Bain, and a few others. Felecia dismounted and walked into a house while Ebony stepped into the dragon stable. He got some deer carcasses and piled them in a stall, then cut a large hole in the ceiling so that Bahamut could reach in and grab a deer. Arianna laid down in her stall which was next to Ebony's and Felena's stall, and started nibbling on a deer.

OOC:
Okay, I think I got everyone that was necessary.

Kuja awoke several hours later, it was very late. Night blanketed the sky, and the stars were as bright as they could be.
He slowly got up, his body ached from sleeping in a strange position for so long. Kuja walked outside the cave and spaced out in a random direction while he stretched out his neck with his arm.

He began walking east in a very slow pace.



OOC: Short... cant think of much atm, plus I need to go.

Felecia awoke and sensed that Kuja was moving. She took off into the air and followed him high above. She didn't know how to approach him. It seemed like he had lost his memory. He didn't know who she was, or who their son was.

OOC:
Like I said, short and wouldn't be able to understand it.

I wouldnt mind Red, you can join back in if you wish.

OOC:
Of course you can come back red. Speaking of coming back, where's Daidrea, Daidrea? (dude, that probably sounded really weird.lol)

IC:
Felecia gasped for air as Kuja grabbed her throat, then let her go. She stood up and looked him in the eye,"The real question is, what are you seeking?" she asked, her wings extended to their fullest.

OOC:
*laughs to self softly* Yeah, ya would red. I can't see what you could do about it though. And actually, all you really have to read is the part where we skipped ahead 15 years, everything else is basically useless now, info wise.

OOC:
Well, if you want to read it all. If your a fast reader, it should take you about a day if you read nonstop. With as fast as I read, it would take me about....3, 4, 5, 6, maybe 7 hours to read it all from when you dropped out...maybe. I don't know the limits of my reading talents.

And no, I'm not sure if it's all useless. Let me go check to see when pricisely you dropped out...

OOC:
Whoa you stopped posting on page 11. dude.

OOC:
Yeah, alot did happen. You could just skim them and not actually fully read them.

OOC: Yea, for the majority of it, mostly focus on the 15 year skip but it you got the time just kina skim what you missed.

IC: "For what my purpose is, I do not know. I must search for a purpose, weither it be to wander the rest of my life, to seek power, to kill, I just dont know. As for you..." He thought to himself for a moment, "You do not follow me unless you have a reason. Since it's not a reason for malicious intent, you are either curious of me or you just want to follow me."

"So what is it you want.... Felecia?" He noticed a look of great shock befall her face...almost gasping. "Reading ones thoughts are not difficult, why are you so suprised?

Felecia ground her teeth. She couldn't see the Gedway Ignasia on either of his hands, which marked him as an ex-Dragon Rider. She wracked her brain for a solution, but found none.

OOC:
Really really blank atm.

OOC: Hmm, think I just thought of a way to bring Daidrea back. You were wondering right?

Daidrea was walking through the Hadarac, just wandering by himself. He left this huge desert after waking up from one of his "episodes" 15 years ago. He heard that his friends...and Ella.. were somewhere settled in the Hadarac so he decided to go see them.
Several hours later he sensed some one familiar nearby. Something was a little off but it felt like Kuja. Over the years not knowing about him, his hate for him has lessened...despite what happened. Although he had also heard that he disappeared for some time after Felecia concieved their child. He started to go in his direction when he felt another presence. Wouldnt you know it, it was her. However she seemed very upset and distraught.
Daidrea kept moving in their direction and eventuall they came into sight. He was a little reluctant at first but he wanted to know what was going on.

Finally he was close enough, he could see them clearly. He looked at Kuja more closely, something just wasnt right about him. He was different, he didnt know what to think of it.
Daidrea approached, "Hello Felecia., ...Kuja."
Kuja cocked his head slightly, Kuja? Was he refering to me?
