The order is Me, Fanghur, Kit, Draco, Aeraldi, then Aorian.

OOC: In this rp I would like only the characters of Into the Deep and from Draco I want both Phalynx and Solaree plz...also, anyone from the "royal family" and yes I know that phal is in the royal family. Along with your new charry Fanghur.

Biraith had been annoying Anthor, Gornath, and Voenth for days, begging them to begin his training so that he would be able to help fight when the time came. He was begging Gornath to teach him how to fly. "When will I fly, please teach me Gornath, please, please, please! Gornath finally gave in, he said, " I will teach you, on one condition; you will do exacly what I say when I say, agreed?" "Of course" said Braith.


Voenth and Anthor laughed to themselves at Gornath's and Braith's actions. They knew that Braith would have his way no matter what, they just wished that they had some help with the rebuilding of their city inder the island, Hurael. The green and white dragons were working hard, but they wish that Phalanx, Tialgo, Kit, Shyara, and Shyra were here, they would use some help trying to entertain and keep Braith occupyed. They has almost completely unblocked all of the tunnels and the urgals were wiped out on the island, there were more dragons comeing every day, and soon they would have the city filled. With the exception of Faefnir, Aeraldi, Star Gazer, and Phal they matched the might of the Dragon Fortress. The dragons has begun to create wards to protect the island form the eyes of enemies, and had already repelled the many attempst of Galbatorix and MUrtagh to conquer the island. The dragons put their might into the spells that Anthor and Voenth had put on the island, and now it was invisible to almost all enemies, and there were traps all over the island to catch any soldiers that might be prowling around.

Seren had been flying for days and she landed on a island close to Sharktooth called Meron. Seren started to clean her wongs when she suddenly heard a noise. Seren quickly changed into her human form so if was an enemy they wouldn't know what she really was. It turned out it was just a rabbit. Seren walked over to the bunny and started to play with it when suddenly someone or something grabbed her.

OOC: short I know

OOC: lol the Superman song is playing in my head.

IC: Phalynx was returning to Sharktooth Island on her regular patrols of Alagaesia, and none too soon. She saw the shadowy dragon attack, distracting everyone from the shade that was kidnapping the still young Braith.

She roared a challenge, infuriated by the presence of shadow on such a glorious new home for dragons. The new city growing on the island reminded her of the Dragon Mountain and the other (now abandoned) dragon city, Unity. She had hoped the new city would avoid the terrible fate that Unity had met, and now it seemed the dragons here needed her help, just as the descendants of Unity's dragons had needed her.

Phal swooped low over the island, chasing after the shade as it fled. It seemed to suddenly disappear, but Phal could see that it was teleporting away. She held open its teleportation portal and widened it enough for her to enter. She dove in as quickly as possible, and was met with a large cave with a low ceiling, inside of which were three shades. She wasn't fast enough to avoid the magical arrow that one sent at her chest, and she roared in pain, stumbling backwards. She sent out a mental call for help, hoping that Voenth and the others helping him would hear it and trace it to wherever these shades were. They would have to get into the cave the hard way, but Phal hoped they could get in soon.

She blasted starfire at the shades, but they all dodged it and prepared to fire more magical arrows.


Solarae lunged upright, her nap interrupted by a series of loud roars. She had been snoozing on a clifftop above the others, keeping an eye on the training of young Braith, and now it seemed like she would be needed after all. She watched as Phalynx (that young dragon does tend to show up in times of trouble) chased after the shade and suddenly disappeared just after it had. Uh oh. That can't be good, Solarae thought. She jumped off of the clifftop and flew as fast as she could to join Gornath, Anthor, and the white dragons.


OOC: Unity is the name of the dragon city in my fanfic. Unfortunately, no one else will know its origins until I'm much further in the story. Just lettin' you all know.

OOC: Fanghur's New charry and Braith are hatchlings...just not able to talk. They are sometime in this story going to fall in love. They also cannot be saved...Yet. They will sometime in the story break out and end up back together with everyone on the island. And, Does Phal know Voenth,....I can't remember amp;


IC:
Gornath was overjoyed when he saw Phal and an unknown orange dragon, he thought who better to see a hatchling. He quickly flew to greet them with Anthor on his back, he said, "Welcome to Hurael, my and all others who want it to be's home. "

Anthor was just glad that help had come.

When Braith woke up, he noticed that he was in a cell with a little girl. She was about 6-10 years of age and she looked like the nice kind of person. He began to try to wake her up saying, Wake up! Wake up! wake up! Where are we! I'm scared!

Voenth kept up his vigil and was not screaming for his dragon.

OOC: Phal knows a lot of people, directly or indirectly. And I was actually going to have Phal be in a different cave from Braith and Seren. You'll see.

IC: Phalynx was heartened to see Kit, Shyara, Shyra, and Shyra's young dragon Ecivres enter the cavern. She had already examined the room but had found that Braith was not in it. They tricked me, she thought angrily, annoyed at being tricked in any way since she knew she was smarter than the shades.

The ceiling was low, too low. It kept her and Shyara from being able to raise their heads higher than their shoulders, making their throats vulnerable. Phal was already limping from the dagger to her chest, and couldn't maneuver fast enough to escape the other attacks to her front. Luckily, the shades were distracted by the new arrivals enough for Phal to blast one into oblivion with her starfire. There were only a few left. Finally, they opened another portal and jumped through it to escape. Phalynx rushed forward, intent on following them, but she gasped in pain when a shade that had been hiding behind the rocks in wait struck out with a dagger. The dagger sliced into her neck, which was still being forced dangerously low to the ground, before Phal stabbed the shade in the chest with her left talons.

After she had killed the shade, she collapsed to the ground, unable to hold the portal open and follow. The wound on her neck had hit a bad vein, causing her to lose a great deal of blood. She felt herself weakening, and hissed in frustration that she had not been able to get into the portal.


Solarae landed near the forms of Gornath and Anthor. Thanks for the welcome young'ens. I've heard about you from Phalynx; she was the one who told me to come. If anyone working for those shades come around, I'll help you deal with 'em. My name's Solarae, by the way, and if you're wondering, I'm part Fanghur, she said, striding up to them. From this close range it was obvious that she was no taller than Anthor, even though she was about 600 years old.

OOC: Here comes Aeraldi, and he is itching for a fight.

Aeraldi smelt the stench of shade from the cave where he lived. It wasn't an actual scent but it was very distinct in the fabric of the world in which he looked. He had been flying for the past few hours tracking the source. It was difficult to distinguish from the large holes crated in the fabric of the world by Nilarek but, eventually, Aeraldi had arrived at an Island with many dragons. Many of whom were now scurrying around for reason not yet known to Aeraldi.
I can see the shades, they seem to be using dark magic to move around quickly. See those portals?
I certainly do. Aeraldi said, readying himself to use his strength to destroy the ones tearing the world asunder. He had but one hesitation before he did anything.
Straight to the shades or should we find out what's going on first? He didn't like asking his other side but his mind was already made up, he wanted to make sure it was the right one.
Aeraldi concealed his surprise and said back, Go to the shades, there are dragons in danger.
Aeraldi nodded and dove for the remnants of a portal. While the portal was closed already, the tunnel which was used still hadn't faded completely. He landed near the other dragons, took one look at them and focused himself on the task at hand. Aeraldi supplied the strength for the spell while Aeraldi supplied the focus. Together they used the spell to re-open the portal to wherever it led, the faintest outline of Aeraldi being reflected into the world.
Aeraldi then walked through the portal, intent on saving the dragons there. When he shot out of the portal, he quickly scanned the room. Nothing. You said there were dragons here.
There are, look. Aeraldi shared his thoughts with his other side, while using his far sight.
Aeraldi then understood where he needed to be, he was in an empty room because this is where the last shade had gone. The problem was now that there were two rooms which had dragons. One was weakening quickly.
Phalynx!
Aeraldi didn't need anymore motivation to move, he dashed out of the room and, running up and down the walls like nothing else in this world, he dashed for Phalynx. As he rounded the corner he reached for the magic again, this time entirely on his own. Stay still Phalynx. He said before casting the spell. He reached his nose forwards and, using the magic his other side uses, began to heal her wounds. He stopped suddenly as he noticed the others behind her, not to mention the quickly disappating rend in the world at his feet.
He used my magic. Aeraldi thought to himself.
Where is the shade that did this? Tell me that I may make sure that they never appear in any world again.

OOC: Ok this is Edited, and also I am trying to get Andep and Danagon growing up. In my early RP's you saw childesh side to them and they really are growing up. Andep is 2 years old in this RP, making Danagon 20. Eliza is Andep's love by the way, if I mention her. Drenor is her Rider and Danagon's brother.

IC: "Andep, go!" A black figure had rushed in to them and Danagon barely ducked and some how Andep turned to avoid it. It was now fleeing and they wanted to know what it is. All of a sudden a portal opened and the figure descended in to it. Andep flew right through it, although it was a tight fit. He was becoming too big. The figure took human form in a room, and before noticing his surrondings Danagon flung off Andep, drew Wilae, and lunged it at the figure.Shade! But Danagon had missed, and the Shade teleported. Danagon grunted and finally noticed a room he was in, and all the other minds in the room next to him. Andep flared his green flame, but the room was not large enough to let him extend his neck up like he likes to. He had to arch his neck to not hit the roof. "Follow me." Danagon grunted, and walked through a hall way. He turned in to the room, holding his bow at the ready, but lowered it.Varden. 5 Dragons and 2 Riders. He remembered the small orange dragon as -Edit-, and Phaylnx on the floor with Aeraldi. Royal Family members. Danagon had decided last week at age 20 he wanted to finally fight the Empire. He can control situations. He wasn't that vulnerable human who Fenor changed. He knew new magic every day. He was tired of Riders and Dragons looking at him and thinking he wouldn't help. Just another Rider. He wanted his name known. "Where are we? What are those Shades doing to make them do that?

OOC:Umm, you are welcome to join Aorian, but remember Braith and Seren are not no be saved. They will save themselves. No one will get them in this rp they will ffall in love. Also, at the very top of most rps it will tell you wether it is open to everyone or in this case it will tell you who is invited. You maystay, but no-one other than who was invited to this rp will be allowed. Other than you since I didn't specify.

OOC: Sorry, thought those were members you specifically WANTED, not who were aloud. How about I edit post so now I am meeting Phaylnx and others?

Ok, it is good to me, and I will say if it is open to everyone or not, its ok.

Kit tried to jump through the portal but it closed just before he went through and he was met by a solid wall. He stood up and dusted himself off and started cursing the Shades.

Shyra ran over to Phal and had her head in her lap when she yelled at Kit, "Kit, knock it off." She was stroking Phal's head and speaking to her softly, "Stay with us, don't you leave us." She repeated this over and over.

Shyara moved as close as she could to her friend and tried her best to comfort her.

Ecivres didn't know this dragon to well, but he understood that she was a friend and hurt badly, she nuzzled up against the dragoness's neck and made soft cooing sounds. He was startled to see another dragon come down into the cavern, it was getting cramped, Ecivres hissed alittle and flared his wings as to attack, but relaxed when he realized that the dragon was healing the hurt dragoness.

Shyara said to Ecivres, "Fly up these tunnels till you get to the surface, then go find the closest dragon or rider you can and get them to follow you down here."

Ecivres flew as fast as he could through the maze of tunnels; Shyara had given him directions and a few images to show to whoever he found to translate the urgency. He came to a big cavern and and smelt the fresh air, so he went straight up. He found the closest person; it was a little orange dragon next to a rider and some other people and dragons. He flew up to her and squawked. He started throwing images at her mind. He did his best to put them in the order Shyara had given him, but two got mixed up. He showed 'knife', 'tunnels', 'Shade', 'Phalynx' and 'Kit, Shyra, and Shyara'. He didn't know how to share this with everyone, but hoped the orange dragon would if she needed to. Then he flew back alittle and then back to her, desperately trying to get her to follow.

OOC: Ecivres doesn't remember who Anthor and Gornath are.

OOC: Wait, Voenth is saving Braith, right? By the way can someone aknowledge Andep and Danagon? Lol. Just Kidding.

OOC: Thanks for ignoring my character Kit! But really, could you please read my post and edit?

OOC:Sorry, for some reason I didn't think you made down there, but anyway I edited it, does it fit in with your post okay?

OOC: No, no one will actually save them, but we will try, what Phal is doin atm. & Fanghur can you change into a dragon now??

OOC: @Kit - Thank you, it fits in now.

OOC: Here, I am going to go quick. But then maybe we should start a order.

IC: Danagon walked over to Phal. He didn't care about his questions any more, he saw Phaylnx in danger. Though they barely knew each other, and Phalynx was of the Royal Family and can survive alone, Danagon thought of her as a friend. Andep felt the same way. Shyra, Shyara, Kit, they were all there. He noticed Aeraldi, then noticed what was happening. He realized how they all had to work against Galbratorix, they all strived for the same accomplishment. From the Royal Family, to mere Riders not very well known like Danagon, they all had a part in the Varden. Well, not all dragons. Some choose the other side. Weiss Heill Danagon knew his magic was no where near as strong as Aeraldi's, and wouldn't do much, but he had to do anything. Andep stood in the corner, neck arched. A dragon Danagon hasn't seen, Ecivres, he thought, suddenly vanished. Danagon remained concentrated. He had to ask one questions though. "How?"

OOC: she only shows people she really trusts her dragon form! You'll just have to wait a little longer, but soon.

OOC: Oo, lots has been goin' on! lol

IC: Phal opened her eyes, unaware of having closed them in the first place. I'll... I'll be okay. I just have to rest. Thank you all, she said a little weakly from bloodloss. She raised her head slightly, wincing a little at the soar spot on her neck. She sighed. That portal's closed now, she said, looking at the wall with disappointment.

Aeraldi, I killed the shade that attacked me. The others are gone. How did you use your other side's magic? she asked. It was slightly amusing to her that she was still so curious even when she had been nearly killed. She guessed that perhaps Aeraldi could use his other side's magic in emergencies.

Phal slowly stood, breathing heavily. Ugh. Blood is not an easy thing to replace, she thought, recognizing her weakness. She looked around at everyone; they were obviously worried. Thanks, everyone, You all helped save my life, she said with a smile, though deep in her heart she knew that was partially a lie. But she couldn't tell them about that, it wasn't just something she could talk about to everyone.

Solarae was startled when the young dragon Ecivres began to send her images of the others. Ecivres, you did well by delivering this message. I'm going to tell the others. We'll join you in a moment, young one, she said with concern. She turned immediately to Voenth and the others with him, and told him of Ecivres and his message. I'm going to go find them, she said with determination, and flew back to join Ecivres, indicating she was ready to follow him.

OOC: Mwahaha! Phal's got a secret, heehee.

OOC: quick side note to Draco, Ecivres was 'talking' to Solarae

OOC: Whoops! I'll edit!

OOC: Lol this is confusing me, we will go with the order of Me, Fanghur, Kit, Draco, Aeraldi, and Aorian. Please keep within this order.
Aeraldi go ahead with your post please.

Aeraldi looked at the recovering Phalynx with relief, then turned and hid his face behind a mask of logic. How? Aeraldi wondered. He had never used his other side's magic so effectively before and, somewhere within himself, he felt change coming. But whether it was the beginning or the end he couldn't tell. Either way, they needed to get out of this evil place now. He breathed in slowly, taking in the scent of the others around him, remembering them in case he met them later. He looked back at the group, his separate colored eyes distinguished in the darkness of the tunnels.
I cannot open a portal like I did before as I used too much of my strength getting in, however I can lead you to where they use the portals the most. There is where the structure of the world is most weakest and the easiest place to open a portal to wherever. I won't come though as these shades deserve the wrath of my claws. Aeraldi said, his claws taking the light from around them, seeming to cast a shadow onto shadow itself.
You will have my help in destroying these dark ones. Aeraldi said from the back of their mind.

OOC: I am going to go because, they have to get away, and because she directed me a question.

Braith, was in shock, he was talking to a human, and a pruple draogn stood in front of him, he realized that she was the most beautiful dragon he had ever seen. He said, Umm, this fortress we are in, umm is on one of the many islands around here, umm, we have to get out of here. He couldn't help saying, You are a beautiful dragon. He lead the way out of the cell, and was flying when he noticed that she was a very good flyer. He said, We don't have to fly far, just far enough that the shades won't get us. He landed about three miles away, on a small island that had some small birds and such. He quickly caught them about four of the large ground-dwelling birds that inhabited the small island and went to a tree and began to dig a small cave to sleep inside, out of the weather.

OOC: Hey, this weekend I probably won't get a chance to get on, but Monday I will for sure. You'll just have to skip me, or wait, what ever works best, I will not be offended but sorry guys anyway. oh yeah, and I'm joined up with 17+ RPs so if these wound the same, they are

Phalynx nodded her head slowly to Aeraldi. Lead the way to this place, my friend. I will follow, and we will stop these shades, she said, still a little weakly. She began to walk shakily forward, eager to help the others.

At that moment, Solarae arrived behind the young Ecivres. Giving a single look at the scene, she strode over to Aeraldi. Okay, so I heard enough to know you're going somewhere. I'm definately coming. Phalynx, you are not, she stated with a glare at the young silver. Now that was a dragon with a "hero complex" if she ever saw one. That young'en is becoming as reckless as I am! thought Solarae, though she knew it was a very different kind of recklessness.

What! Of... of course I'm coming! Phal said fiercely to Solarae, put off by the small dragoness ordering her around, I'm not going to stand around being useless while my friends go into danger!

No, you're going to go back through that tunnel and warn the others of what we are going to do. There's no way you can fight with that much blood lost, and we need someone to inform Gornath and Anthor and Voenth and everyone else anyway, Solarae said, her logic unarguable.

Phal sighed. She knew she couldn't follow the others like this. She would just slow them down. But she hated to not be part of a rescue attempt; anything that would save lives really. Alright. I guess you do need someone to tell the others, and I'll just slow you down. I'll join you as soon as I can, she said hopefully. Phal began walking towards the exit.

OOC: Lol, I just realised this is the first time Solarae and Aeraldi have met.

Aeraldi didn't like the fact that so many were coming with him but it was tempered by the fact that most of these people didn't know who he was or what he was capable of. It actually pleased him greatly. When the new dragon approached, that wasn't entirely a dragon, he was curious. Solarae. He thought of the name, it rang a familiar chord in his mind but he couldn't place it. He watched the proceedings between them all and after Phalynx's decision to leave Aeraldi nodded, it would be good to have someone to tell others they were here.
Phalynx. He said as she walked away. There are two ways out, one is down the hall and to the left where the factures in the world are greatest. The other is at the end of the hall, it will be a great distance but you will eventually arrive there.
Are you..? Are you actually helping now? Aeraldi asked astonished.
Aeraldi growled inwards. I am helping our race because if I don't then we will not survive.
Aeraldi understood the words, but he couldn't help but feel something else was happening.
He is changing, Aeraldi thought to himself. but does that mean I am changing as well? He let the question linger within his mind.
Well then, Solarae was it? We must hurry, the shades are preparing and we have some distancce to cover. Aeraldi said jumping off into the darkness of the corridor, his scales blending in seamlessly. His one white eye the only indication of where he was.

"I'm coming." Danagon said. Andep was rather angry that noone noticed him, but what could you do. I doubt they will let me come if Phaylnx isn't. "I know Kit. He and I can work together. I want to come." If my Rider goes, I go. Its about time we get noticed by the Empire.Danagon looked at all of them. Kit, back me on this.Danagon looked at the glowing white scar that goes around his hand. It used to flash black, but now it was only white. Danagon wouldn't betray them. He wouldn't become his father, Galbratorix.

OOC: Somewhat Short

Kit, Shyra, Shyara, and Ecivres watched the proceedings, not sure what they should do.

OOC: Short

Fanghur it is your turn, and the order is
Me, Kit, Fanghur, Draco, Aeraldi, and then Aorian. Please keep to this. Lets kinda revive it.

OOC: sorry I just wasn't sure if it was my turn

I'll go with you. Seren said following the cute orange dragon. The two flew off to look for some food and Seren tried to start some small talk. So your name is Braith and your not a wild dragon huh? Seren and Braith both landed and started to look for some food.

OOC: *singing* short! and sorry for doing a little bit of godmodding voenth.

Aeraldi kept the others in check, at least those that followed. It wouldn't do him good if they got lost and fuelled the shades power, not to mention that he didn't trust them.
Down there, to the left, there is another rift opening in the world. A shade is coming through. Aeraldi said from the back of their mind.
Just one? Aeraldi asked.
I can't tell yet, all I can say is that there is a portal opening.
Aeraldi slowed and stayed around the corner, viewing the room with his own eye. Sure enough there was a portal opening, but it was still tiny and wouldn't even fit his own body. The room was immensely large though, as if it was to move an army.
Careful.
Of that? Pah, I'll close it myself. Aeraldi rounded the corner and saw the rift. It distorted the light so that the wall behind it looked to be fractured and out of place. A sharp inhalation to his rift drew his attention and he dodged out of the way as quickly as he could. It wasn't fast enough as his left wing was torn down the middle by some blade. It hurt dreadfully but he had an opponent now. There was a shade who stood directly in the shadow of the wall, he was wispering now. Before Aeraldi could react again the portal opened massively and suddenly the room was much more frightening.
Incoming!! Aeraldi shouted.

Danagon laughed. "Yes, it it quite fun. We have some experience." Although the Shade almost killed Danagon once." Andep interrupted. Danagon stopped laughing. "Hey he almost killed you too! And he was able to snatch Saheit with us right next to her!" Danagon then heard Aeraldi. He ran in to the corridor in which he was. All he could do was gasp and have his eyes widen.

OOC: hey, you jumped order

Let's follow Phal, she's still very weak, Shyara suggested. She got up and went after the silvery dragoness.

"Sounds fine to me." Kit helped Shyra get to her feet and the two ran after Shyara, Ecivres following behind. They caught up to her pretty quickly.

Shyara slowed down and stopped.

"What?"

I can't see Phal, and the tunnel looks like dead end, but watch. The end of the tunnel slowly moved forward and got farther away. There is something wrong here, wait hear that? She paused and a very faint clinking sound was coming from ahead. That's claws hitting against the rock floor and the slithering noise is a tail. Phal! Phal can you hear us or see us?

Phalynx continued walking, glancing back only once when she heard the voices of Shyara and Kit. She could see what would have been the dragoness's heat signature, but it was mostly blocked out by the reflective thing. I can hear you. Do not rush forward; there is something in the cave between me and you. It has a mirror of some sort, for I cannot see what it is. It is reflecting all the light I emit. Here, I have an idea. Come forward and attack when I give the word, Phal said. She slowly came to a stop, listening closely to the noises behind her.

She suddenly turned in a single fluid movement and let out a stream of starfire to light up the cave. The thing she saw was extremely strange. A thing that looked like a hominid, but entirely covered in large scale-like plates that were mirrors, stood in the cavern. It glared at her with large, many-faceted eyes like a dragonfly's, which also reflected the light off of them.

Phal growled, and the thing clattered forward. It had gigantic claws and a strange, tube-like proboscus that looked like a mosquito's, as if it sucked the blood out of its prey. Shyara! Kit! Help me! she cried, stumbling backwards. The thing was huge, standing almost as tall as Phalynx, and its claws looked more than sharp enough to cut through her scales. She tried blasting it with starfire, but the flame simply bounced off.

Don't use magic or fire on it! Everything; every spell, just bounces off the mirrors. You have to slice under the mirror-plates, or in its eyes! Phal said. She reared up for a few seconds to cut upwards and under the scale-plates of the creature, but then backed away frantically again as it slashed at her with claws the length of her face.

Solarae leapt into the room with a flourish of flame and heat. She flipped behind a shade and sliced upwards with her tail as she somersaulted through the air. Her tail-blade cut up and deeply into its back, slicing its heart.

Solarae landed on the ground with her tail-blade held over her head like a scorpion's stinger. She surveyed the room for a moment to assess her enemies and her allies. Heh heh. I'm an expert in shade-fighting, she said, grinning rather evilly. As soon as she finished speaking, she darted forward again, lowering her tail behind her, and began attacking another shade. She leaped and flipped over its attacks with weapons. She was so fast that it couldn't cast a spell on her accurately enough. Solarae roared, breathing flames from her nostrils as she ran around, parrying off swords and daggers. Her orange scales radiated with heat.

Heal me! Aeraldi said at his other side.
I can't, not while I'm like this. He said.
Aeraldi growled lightly and then pushed the pain coming from his wing to the back of his mind. His fighting style was useless without his wing being repaired, for it required him to be able to move quickly and strike before reaction. Now he was as weak as a hatchling and that knowledge filled him with anger. He looked at Solarae who killed the shade with ease and a pang of jealosy went through him. His gaze went to Danagon and Andep and suddenly an idea rose within him.
You two, Aeraldi said to Danagon and Andep, make sure no more come this way. This portal is dangerous enough.
What are you planning? Aeraldi asked curious.
Solarae, kill anything that comes through. I'm going to close this portal as best I can, at least enough to stop anything coming through.
How do you plan on doing that? The portal is open and the power supplying it is on the other... No! Don't you dare! Aeraldi was about to grab control of the body when Aeraldi moved.
Aeraldi jumped through the portal without warning, his black body sliding through the folds of the world soundlessly. Unfortunately he didn't get far as something smashed into him and he felt himself being pushed back the way he came. Aeraldi came flying back through the portal and hit the wall, putting a dent within the stone. Finally through the portal came three shades, one grasping it's stomach where Aeraldi had hit it.
I suppose it's my turn. Aeraldi said to his other side as he tried to recover.
Aeraldi's body shivered, then grasped the stones beneath him and crushed them into powder. He tried to keep the pain from controlling his actions so he didn't hurt any of his allies. The pain was too great however and Aeraldi began to slash at anything around him. Soon enough though, white scales began to replace the black ones and Aeraldi's appearance began to change slightly with his claws and spikes shortening. Aeraldi's tremors stopped and he could move again. Can i do this? He wondered. Have I changed enough so that I can fight?

OOC: Aorian it is your turn. Please Post.

"Okay?" Danagon stood guard, standing trhere, Andep with him. Then three shades appeared. Danagon knew if he rejected orders Aeraldi wouldn't be pleased. Go, I'll stay. Danagon looked at Andep, and nodded. He ran towards the shades, drawing Wilae. Instantly one turned and began attacking him. "Still so weak." The Shade muttered. Danagon kept in combat, but gasped.

This was the Shade. THe one who tried to kill Saheit. THe one who almost killed him. THe one who had kidnapped Saheit and led he and his friends to Galbratorix. "And your still a jerk." Danagon replied. He remembered how thats what he called out at the Shade to stop him from killing Saheit, giving Saheit time to escape. Danagon's palm was glowing brighter than ever. He realized he was sweating. He was sweating blood.

Andep watched helplessly. He couldn't disobey Aeraldi, could he? Suddenly Andep felt a wage of magic coming from where he was supposed to guard. Andep looked over.

Incoming.


OOC: The magic can be a portal and another shade "reinforcements comes" or anything you want to make it. Be creative =D

OOC: Fanghur it is your turn.

OOC: I thought it was Kit's turn

OOC: Nah, it is your turn, Idk where he go tthat he was after me, because the original order was me then you & so-on.

OOC: Go back to page three and you have an order listed and I'm after you, then Fanghur, and so on.

IC: Shyara dashed forward when Phal called. She hit the thing from behind with hardened scales cracking a few of the 'mirrors'. She used her claws to swipe them away and attack with her teeth. She succeeded in knocking a few of the 'mirrors' off of it, but the most part couldn't open the thing up for attack and attack it at the same time.

Ecivreswwatched as the miniature battle unfolded, things weren't looking to good for anyone, and Kit and Shyra didn't dare try and get up and try and attack because of the dragons' thrashing. He built up his courage and flew over Shyara's back and between her claws to the things flesh. He clawed at its back and few drops of its orange blood dropped on his claws and ate through it. He let out a shriek of pain and surprise, but didn't stop attacking; he was just more careful to remove his claws before the blood leaked out.

Shyara recieved an image from Ecivres; it was the blood eating through his claws. She passed on the information, Its blood is acidic, so be careful, it ate through Ecivres's claws. Don't worry Shyra, he is still growing, they'll be fine.

OOC: Oh my gosh this is the perfect place to introduce Phal's new power!!

IC: Phalynx hissed and fought, parrying away the beast's head with her powerful forelimbs and teeth. She ducked back away from the creature when it lunged, and then jumped forward to slash at it. Her limbs shook with the effort. She didn't have enough blood to regenerate her system, so she wasn't getting enough oxygen. It wasn't enough to cause her to faint, but she felt light-headed and every movement of her muscles was an effort.

But she couldn't stop. This was about survival now, and to quit meant to die. She continued to fall back though. The thing was ignoring the others at its hindquarters, closing in on its prey. It had chosen its target, and by no means was ready to give up. Phal's sight, for a brief instant, wavered out of focus. As it did, it settled for a few seconds on one form of light: gamma rays. The gamma rays did not bounce off the beast's mirrors, but instead tore right through. Phal suddenly felt a huge build-up of power within her, and felt as if she might explode.

Everyone! Get out of the way NOW! GET TO THE SIDES OR DUCK OR SOMETHING!! she cried as loudly as possible, the urgency in her voice unmistakable. She suddenly opened her jaws and breathed a massive jet of starfire at the creature. The flames appeared to bounce off, but that wasn't what made it so powerful.

Phalynx had just infused her flame with a massive burst of gamma radiation. In such levels, it was deadly to all life it came into contact with, ripping through DNA and living tissue like soggy paper. The beast roared in pure agony, feeling itself being ripped apart from the inside. It fell to the ground, dead, and the gamma radiation dissipated into further regions of the cavern. Phal collapsed unconscious on the floor, completely drained by what she had done.


Solarae immediately took advantage of the shade's weakness, and killed the one that had been hit by Aeraldi. You okay buddy? she said briefly to the odd dragon, intrigued by his sudden change of color, and concerned about his sudden fall back through the portal.

Wasting no time, she ran around to slice another shade's legs open and then flapped over to one she had injured in the fight. She reached with her teeth as she flipped over him, grabbing his neck in her jaws and taking him down with her. The attack would have snapped her neck had she not had powerful neck muscles. Instead, it snapped the shade's, allowing Solarae to stab it in the chest with her tail-blade.

OOC: Aeraldi, it is your turn.

OOC: Thanks.
@Aorian- I got my own ace in the hole, I think he'll arrive now.

I will be. His voice sounding calmer than his other side's. He turned to heal his torn wing, taking a fraction of Aeraldi's to ignite the healing process. He had just touched it when the healing was done so when he turned again he was whole.
Incoming.
Aeraldi heard the call and was about to turn and help when he felt a presence he dreaded. Only one shade could make that kind of feeling. He turned to Andep and ran out to him.
Be on your guard, this is one of the most deadly shades known. Aeraldi said, slightly quivering in his voice. The tunnel seemed to darken as the shade approached, his cape black, his eyes red and his sword dripping with the power of shadow.
"How's my favorite nemesis?" Nilarek said to Aeraldi.
Unexpecting to see you. Aeraldi admitted.
"I would have thought the face that there are many shades here gave it away." He said.
But you work alone, you hate working with others.
"That is true." Nilarek was amused by the fact of talking to Aeraldi. "I suppose I can't lie to you, I respect you too much. I hate these shades and want nothign to do with them and their silly portals. I came for you, you can guess why."
Aeraldi did guess, To either kill or control me, but since I'm here you have no chance of controlling me. So my guess is to kill me."
"That took a lot of brainpower." Nilarek said before hefting his sword and charging.
Aeraldi knocked Andep out of the way, and faced Nilarek. He thought once about attempting to merge with his other side but thought against it as his form would exceed the confines of the tunnel. He was fighting alone. Aeraldi jumped over Nilarek's swing and towards the shade's face. He scratched Nilarek across the face and dropped to the floor again. It wasn't much of an attack, but it would show Nilarek that even he could attack.
Nilarek turned to Aeraldi, the right side of his face scratched deeply and his eye bleeding, almost falling out of his face. "Annoying pest!" He said before his face healed itself within seconds. "You'll pay for that." His attention squared on Aeraldi.

OOC: Feel free to take advantage of the fact that Nilarek has his back turned to Andep.

OOC: Aorian, your turn.

OOC: Fanghur, it is your turn.

OOC: Fanghur, you have to post or you will be skipped.

OOC: It has been a while since we posted on this one

IC: Shyara grabbed her family and pulled them into a smaller side tunnel, it was a tight fit but saved them at least the Phal's attack. After it was over she backed out and clambered over the thing's dead body to Phalynx.

Shyra was the first to notice that she wasn't moving. She jumped the rest of the way to Phalynx, but couldn't feel a pulse through her scales. She shook Phalynx's head to try and get a response, she even slapped it to get anything out of her but she got nothing for the moment. "I think she might be dead," she said sadly.

Like hell she is. I'll go to the depths of the underworld and bring her soul back if I have to!

Just keep attacking him when he is concentrated on me! Aeraldi said quickly, charging the shade.
Nilarek spun to face the insolent creature that interrupted his fight. "You insolent creature! Don't you know who you're dealing with?!" Nilarek spat out at Andep before suffering another attack from Aeraldi.
Aeraldi jumped into the air and used his wings to spin his bulk in a vertical circle and slam his tail into Nilarek's head.
Nilarek was forced to his knees from the force of the blow, the spikes of Aeraldi's tail tearing out lumps of flesh from Nilarek's back. "Enough!" He yelled in anger. He extended his hands and sent magic flying at both dragons, pushing them away. He crossed his arms, accessed a darker part of his magic and spread his arms wide. He looked directly at Aeraldi and said, "This I learn't from you!"
With that, Nilarek suddenly split into two. Although one seemed to be fainter than the other.
A solid illusion! Aeraldi warned Andep.
He is only at half strength now, although if either you or Andep fall then it will be two against one. Aeraldi said in the back of their mind.
The shadowy version of Nilarek turned to face Andep while the solid looking one faced Aeraldi.
"For someone who hates fighting, you're doing quite well at it." Nilarek pointed out.
Aeraldi growled, hoping to get his message across without opening his mind to the shade. And again, Aeraldi attacked Nilarek.

OOC: Fanghur, it is your turn.

Seren flew through the trees and changed into human form, hiding from Braith. She waited for him to find her, it was taking to long. She waited until she heard Braith roar. It sounded like he was in pain. Braith! She thought as she heard his cry. Seren ran back to the river and he wasn't there, but some of his blood was. Seren changed into a dragon and started to follow his scent. Braith! Seren called out. She eventually came across a camp though it wasn't a human or even elf camp. What the hell are those things? Seren thought looking down at the camp. She saw Braith in a cage, Braith! Braith are you okay? she called to him.

OOC: It's Kit's turn, if you guys wanna keep this going.

OOC: Oh sorry, I didn't realize that.

IC: Shyara watched as Phalynx slightly stirred, then let out a breathe. With out talking to the others, Shyara moved forward and managed to get Phalynx onto her back.

There was no room to turn at all at this point in the tunnel, so Shyara continued forward hoping to find wider spot or a cavern in which she could turn around and go back up top.

As she continued farther she started recognize some of the area and realized that the underground lake that housed her 'special apartment,' was just ahead.

OOC: I didn't know if you wanted to wake up or not yet Draco, so I'm giving you a chance to if you want to.

OOC: Okey dokey. 'Fraid I'll have to decline, though. Phal's gonna be out for a few hours, especially since this was the first time she's used that attack.

IC: Phalynx was still limp, completely at the mercy of the world around her. It was up to her friends now to move her where they would. Though her body was entirely devoid of strength, at least for the time being, her mind was active once more. She was having very strange dreams. For an instant, she saw some of her friends, Aeraldi, Solarae, and Andep, fighting a group of shades that included Nilarek. She wondered if she was seeing actual events, or if this was still part of her dream. But the vision passed and she went back to the odd dream about sharks.

Solarae hovered in front of a shade's face. The look in his eyes told her that he knew: he had let her get too close; he was dead. The orange dragoness grinned, confirming that thought, and plunged her tail-blade into his chest. The dead body of the shade toppled over backwards as soon as she wrenched it out. Now there were only three shades beside Nilarek in the room. Well, the two Nilareks anyway. Solarae decided to stick with her plan and take out the rest of the lesser shades.

She turned to another one and leapt at him. As he was raising his arm to loose some sort of repulsing spell at her, she skidded to a stop and blasted fire towards him. He was unprepared for the attack of flame, and howled in agony as the superheated fire burned his flesh. Solarae used the distraction, and tackled him to the ground. In another instant, she had impaled his heart with her tail-blade. She glanced at the razor-sharp projection from her tail for an instant. This thing's gonna be stained red after this, she thought, and then grinned. It was already stained slightly red.

OOC: Sorry about the wait... Forgot about this one.

Aeraldi had to admit that fighting did make him feel more alive than anything else. The blood rushing through his veins, the adrenaline making him see everything much clearer. It frightened him, but he knew he couldn't stop.
Easy, it won't change you as much as you think. I know all those times you made me heal didn't.
Aeraldi wished he could have time to remember that, but Nilarek was pushing hard. Aeraldi jumped over Nilarek's sword and ran his claws down his face, feeling the Shade recoil in pain.
Nilarek was getting angry, he could feel his anger rising but he still held control over it. The puny dragon had blinded one of his eyes and he couldn't spare the energy to repair it at the moment. Although he hated to admit it, he knew he was beat. He was spread too thin and these dragons were too much for him. It was then he realized he was stuck between the two dragons. He couldn't move. A curse on both of these dragons, I don't even have enough time to change my form.

OOC: We are going to indefinately skip Aorian, unless someone wants to god-mos his charries, and I will god-mod Fanghur's charries.

IC:
Voenth continued to keep himself busy in the city, trying to keep the small dr agon out of his mind. He felt an overwhelming sadness, but knew he had to keep going. He began to direct the dragons and started the reperations ot the city.

Gornath followed Anthor's scent and came to a portal into some sort of dark place, there he saw Anthor, Phalynx, Kit, and Shyara. He roared a helo and gasped at the injuries they his friends had sustained. He said, Come, I will lead you to our infirmary, there you will be healed.

Braith roared sadly at his friend, who he saw had just flown into the camp. He weakly tried to break free fo the cage, but was unable to do so. He said, Get away from here, the monsters will get you too. He fell down in the cage, the loss of blood and the tiredness had worn on him greatly.

Seren flew toward Braith and began to try to pull the bars of the cage apart, but was unable. She roared loudly, hoping to get help, but all ti did was attract unwanted attention. Urgals surrounded the small dragoness and caged her too, she was in a cage several feet off the ground, and about five feet from Braith.

Anthor waved to his dragon and began to follow the white dragon, and at the entrance, waited on the others to get out of the shadow relm.

OOC: I think I'm going to fade out of this one here pretty soon, it doesn't hold any interest for me any more.

IC: Shyara came to the end of the tunnel that dropped off suddenly into a deep, dark cavern. Wait here, she order her family and jumped out into the abyss. She could see the Star-Stone that she had embedded around the entrance and flew up towards that.
Once inside she carefully slid Phal off her back and onto the ground. Phal, I don't know if you can here me, but I have to go get the others, we'll be back in a minute. She flew back out the hole in the floor and over tunnel exit where Shyra, Kit, and Ecivres were waiting.
She waited anxiously for them to get on her back that went to Phal.

Aeraldi had him, he knew it. The shade couldn't keep up this intensity of fighting, especially against two dragons. Three if you counted Aeraldi.
Kill him, kill him now!
I'll hit Andep, we can't use that attack yet.

Nilarek had to leave, he was going to die if he stood here. He had to get away, but there was no time to do it. That was when the idea came to him, a way to buy time and maybe kill the rest.
"Time to die dragons." He said before sending a tendril of energy at the roof, forcing it to rain rubble. He merged himself quickly and began transforming his body into shadow once more.

Aeraldi dodged a boulder that came tumbling from the ceiling, jumping off to the left and into the wall. Unfortunately the boulder hit his wing, he would have to heal it again...
Kill him now! He's getting away.
Aeraldi couldn't, there wasn't space, not for his flame.

OOC: Oh my... if i dont post in time feel free to god-mod =D I am rusty though, so let me get the hang of things...

Andep's vision was slowly fainting. Death was holding him in its arms. He used all the energy he had left to hit Nilarek, but it barely caused a scratch. He knew this was the end.

Solarae finished off the last shade. Blood was running down Danagon's face. He suddenly saw a black eagle laughing. He had noticed it before but had not paid any attention to it. But that laugh....Danagon knew that laugh. "Aeron." He whispered to himself. The hawk was suddenly ingulfed in a black flame and Aeron appeared before him. "Didn't think I'd miss the show, did you, Danny?" Danagon lunged Wilae, but Aeron's own swords appeared in his hands and blocked him. Suddenly Danagon heard Andep roar. He through his hand at Aeron, and watched him fly backwards from the spell. He looked at Andep. Blood covered him, and he felt Andep's mind seperating from his. "No!" Danagon yelled. He felt himself crying, and did the only thing he could think of.


Wilae Heill.

Andep first saw the green magic covering him, healing his wounds. Then he felt the extra energy run through him. Green magic? He suddenly asked himself. He turned around just in time to see Danagon fall to his knees. He wasn't dieing, but was very vulnerable. Andep roared and wrapped his body around Danagon, protecting him. He looked at Aeraldi. Kill him! He barely whispered, gesturing towards Nilarek.

Aeron had enjoyed the show, but wanted some action for himself. When he was thrown backwards he felt Domia enter his leg. He prepared for the happiness to drain, but nothing happened. He realized it was because he had no happiness left. He sighed, withdrew the sword from his leg, and healed himself.

OOC: FANGHUR! REPLY HERE! THIS RPG IS NOT OVER, AND I AM TIRED OF REMINDING YOU ONLY TO HAVE YOU IGNOR ME!

OOC: I know this RPG has been bogged down for a long time, but we need to keep it active.

The order is:
Voenth
Fanghur
Kit
Dracoaestas
Aeraldi
Aorian.

Kit, it is your turn.

Phal is over in my room, above the lake, I can help you get her.

OOC: skip

I can't... He's gone. Aeraldi replied in a small tone, looking at the space where the shadows were now fleeing. I could have killed him, ended it right here, but I couldn't.
And that is why you should leave the fighting to me, time or no time. Aeraldi was practically yelling at the back of their mind.
No, it wasn't our time. He will die, but not today. Aeraldi said back. He faced the one against the wall healing himself, Solarae between him and Andep, who was wrapped around Danagon now.
Hold him off, I'll heal those two. Aeraldi said to her. He ran behind Solarae to Andep.
I can heal you but you need to tell me who needs it most.

Aeraldi rushed over to Danagon then tapped into his ancestral power, his mother's power. His scales seemed to shine with their own light and Aeraldi touched Danagon with his nose. Immediately Aeraldi could feel just how hurt Danagon was, his heart was weak and the wounds were consuming him. Aeraldi braced himself for the loss of energy this would entail, he would use the rest of the time he had left.
But he began the healing, stitching together wounds, mending bones, attaching tendons and repairing nerves. He would be good as new, but he wouldn't have enough energy to heal Andep after.
Finish it already, then I can help fight. Aeraldi said from the back of their mind.
I'm going as fast as I can! This is very intricate work.
If he could have, Aeraldi would've growled at his other side. At least he would get the body soon.
When the wounds were healed, Aeraldi slumped against the wall. Alright, your turn again. He shifted himself away, moving away from anyone who might get in the way of his thrashing.
Then let it begin. And Aeraldi shuddered with pain, the pain of old, the pain of new. Nothing but the excruciating pain that each change brought, each one telling him that he was moving closer to his own death. His scales ran black, his claws grew longer. He couldn't hold back the pain any more and lashed out as whatever was around him. Swiping his claws and tail in every direction. Until finally, he was changed.
I'm back. Aeraldi said almost maliciously.

OOC: You guys wanna continue this? If so, it's either fang or Kit's turn. I think Aeraldi went out of turn.

OOC: I do want to continue this RPG, and it is Fanghur's turn.

OOC: So is it my turn yet, or are we waiting for fang?

OOC: It is your turn, I PMed Fanghur and she did not post, so, she was skipped.

OOC: Okey dokey.

IC: Phalynx stirred a little, her claws and tailtip twitching. Her energy was starting to return, enough so that she would regain consciousness at least. She returned very slowly into wakefulness. First came her hearing; she heard several voices around her. Then, as she realized her vision was coming back, her eyes slowly blinked open. She saw several blurry shapes standing near her, but they gradually drew into focus.

Solarae stood her ground, giving a brief nod to Aeraldi as he told her to stay and hold the man off. She heard his claws against stone as he raced over to Danagon and Andep behind her. She lowered her head further, a very threatening posture, and watched as the man attempted to turn into a dragon. However, he didn't seem to have enough power. Failing that, he started to speak, trying to play mind games with her apparently. Hmph. Just get to the fight already, if you must. That will be much more entertaining than your stupid rambling, she snorted, giving an evil grin. She heard another voice behind her, and glanced back for one moment to see that Aeraldi's dark half had taken over. Good. Two expert fighters with long years of experience, against you. Oh, that's... that's just too bad, she said in mock sympathy, watching the man and tensing her muscles in preparation to attack or dodge.

OOC: Er.... is it my turn or Aeraldi?
