Eriel stopped moving with the grape already in her mouth. She spat it out. Emrhyst roared with laughter. Eriel turned to Feafnir, "Err.... Isn't a little too... err...Soon to name it? I mean, err... nevermind." Eriel burst out laughing. Her eyes were for once turning white.

"Sorry Star, it isn't everyday you hear something like this!" Eriel looked away and tried to control her laughter then took a grape and bit into it. "Hey this one's juicy!" Emrhyst snorted a little.

Star Feafnir? Feafzer? Err... Moon Gazer! Emrhyst laughed a little. A tribute to the little princess of the mountain. Eriel sat deep in thought then blurted out, "What about Sunstar?" Emrhyst looked at her rider and laughed, No way! Feafzer sounds nicer!

Eriel nodded, "SunChild sounds... Awesome..." Emrhyst rolled her eyes then said, Okay, we had best leave you two lovebirds alone for now. She nudged her rider off the mound and onto the grass.

Eriel secretly listened to their conversation and laughed inwardly when they couldn't think of a name. In private, Emrhyst chastised her, It's tough to choose a name for a child, you have to make sure it fits his or her colour and that he or she won't get teased because of it. You wouldn't know, you don't have a mate. Eriel laughed a little.

OOC: pass

Emrhyst snorted, You forget Shruiken... Eriel frowned as her dragon's thoughts travelled across their mental link. Her eyes assumed a darker shade of green for a minute before turning light green again, she placed a hand on Emrhyst's shoulder.

Emrhyst laughed, So true... But I expect it to have traces of Shruiken's hide and character, its rather common among us forest dragons. Eriel lay on the grass and looked at the setting sun, "That's fast..." She thought to herself.

Eriel stared at the black object for awhile and exclaimed, "It's not an eclipse! Stare at it, it looks like a great could of birds... or Lerthblaka, possibly even dragons!" Emrhyst roared in delight then stoped short, Or we might be under an illusion...

Eriel screamed as an immense pressure attacked her mind. Emrhyst growled as another attacked hers. Eriel lay on the grass and moaned as the pain became unbearable, then blacked out as her scar started to burn. Emrhyst roared then curcled up beside her rider's unconsious body.

OOC: pass. Faefnir is still unconscious. Once again, his fate lies in your hands, Star.

Eriel moaned as she thought she saw black shapes covering her, scratching her with talons and teeth. Her world started to spin. "This isn't real..." She thought to herself, "And yet..." She let out a scream. "It hurts..." She grit her teeth as raz'zac appeared before her and used their deadly knives to pin her down. She saw before her, her imprisonment in the desert, stabbed with knives and healed again, only to be stabbed. Another time when her eyes turned black as she felt a sword stab through her heart. Yet she somehow survived that incident. Galbatorix stabbed her lung and left her to die. She let out a scream of despair as she witnessed the painful moments of her life unfold before her eyes. As she saw her father die, she let out a tear, then saw Emrhyst with a crossbow bolt in her heart. That was it. She broke down completely.

OOC: IF this were an LOTR rpg, I'd be using one of frodo's famous quotes.
"By Elbereth and Luthien the fair, you shall neither have the ring, nor me."
Of course I'll have to leave the ring out.

IC:Amid tears, Eriel managed to mouth one word, "Garjzla." The pain and darkness began to subside, but it was still there. She could feel StarGazer, Emrhyst and Feafnir in pain now, but could find no way of telling them how to alleviate it. She frowned as she felt Murtagh's presense, along with Thorn.

OOC: pass. can't think of anything.

Eriel soon felt Reb fighting Murtagh, she sighed as she realised she couldn't help her unless she knew for sure it was Murtagh casting the spell. She chastised herself for falling into an illusion so easily. As she ready a counter-spell, she thought of the possible consequences, "Okay let's see, If that is Murtagh, I'll most probably break free, but if its Galbatorix, I'm dead..." Eriel sighed verbally as she thought of the spell in her mind. Her eyes flew open for a second before comming down hard as her energy was zapped by the spell.

Eriel's eyes flew open as she saw Murtagh's sword against Reb's neck. Emrhyst jolted upright as her rider's feelings reached her. They winced as they saw Reb kick Murtagh there. Eriel laughed and walked over to Murtagh, his eyes were wide open but were rolling around aimlessly. 'I should've kicked Galbatorix like that before...' She thought to herself, 'Could've saved me tons of pain.' She sighed and covered his torso and legs in mud. She hardened it and went over to Reb, "You okay?" She asked concerned.

OOC: Star, control Faefnir. I need to go to California for several days.

Faefnir smiled at Reb and Star but then winced and shuddered for Murtagh. " That went a little too far Reb." He said. Then he went over to Star and stood beside her. Contemplating what to do with Murtagh. Instead of killing him.

Reb rolled her eyes at him then put her hand over her neck to stop the flow of blood. Star looked at her rider worridly but Reb waved away her worry. " I'm fine Eriel." She said and laughed at her comment about Galby. " I would have paid to see you kick galby like that." She said laughing.

"Oh wouldn't we all." She laughed then saw Murtagh writhing on the ground, fumbling aimlessly for his sword. Emrhyst snorted and sat on him. "Should I heal your neck or would you rather do it yourself?" Eriel asked again.

" Murtagh if I were you, I'd not be able to move or think for the next day or two." Faefnir said with a laugh then sat down. He looked around the cave. " I think we should rest in here for awhile." He added.

" I'm fine." Reb said and sealed her neck shut with fire. She removed her hand, the skin red. She then sat down with a sigh and grabbed Murtagh's sword and threw it ouside the cave.

Eriel laughed as she saw Murtagh looking at his sword, almost pleading with her to get it for him. "Pathetic..." Eriel said under her breath and sat outside the cave, hanging her legs in the air. "Thorn approuches..." Emrhyst walked over to Eriel, she however, 'accidentally' hit Murtagh on the way. She frowned as she saw the dragon wince a little. That's Thorn alright...

Eriel sighed as Thorn started to land on the shore, Emrhyst stopped her ears as she heard him roar angily then came charging towards them. In that instant, Mutagh broke free of his prison and retrived his sword. Eriel frowned, wishing she hadn't left her sword behind her. She drew her dagger and barely blocked his attack.

" Ug, Thorn." Faefnir said angrily then charged the younger dragon, swiftly pinning him to the ground with his claws but the younger dragon wriggled free and attacked Faefnir.
Star Gazer roared and went to aide Faefnir. Reb went to help Eriel and grabbed her sword and slammed it into the back of Murtagh's shins, knocking him to the ground.

Eriel knelt and put her dagger to his throat. She smiled dangerously as he tackled her leg. "Pshh.. don't even try." She pushed part of her dagger into the base of his neck, parting the skin and a little muscle but not the organ. She laughed as he started to claw at his throat. She reached for her sword and pinned him to the ground by stabbing her blade clean through his thigh. In a whisper, she said to him, "I'm sure Galby, that old fool, has told you of how he nearly killed me." She frowned and memories came back to her. "How does it feel, painful doesn't it?" She said as he writhed in pain.

Faenfir smirked down at Thorn as he lay wrigling beneath him. " How foolish a dragon is to attack us even with though you have the power of Galby. Your stupid." Faenfir said with scorn.
Reb moved Eriel aside. " Doing this makes you no better than he is. Torturing someone for revenge is wrong." Reb said and took the sword from Murtagh's leg and healed the wound.

Eriel sighed. "I guess you're right." She paused then went over to Feafnir. "What do we do now?" Emrhyst went over to Murtagh and pinned him to the ground with her talons, making sure not to hurt him. Just in case.

" Good." Star said to her friends and then growled at Thorn. " Your not that smart are you? Galby did wrong to have Shruikan mentor you. He is no better." She said angrily.

" I agree star." Faefnir said as he glared down at the younger dragon. " I guess we tie them up and take them into the cave with us. I don't want to let them go so they can just come back for us." Faenfir told Eriel.

Emhyrst smiled. " It would be my pleasure to tie him up and tie a rock to rope and let him sink." She said. Eriel frowned. " I'm not sure that's what Faefnir meant." Eriel said.
" Fine." Emerhyrst said angrily.
" No. I mean just tie him up and put him in the cave and rolling a stone in front of it." Faenfir said and then gave Reb a rope and Reb tied up Thorn's feet and snout with a double knot.

Star dragged Thorn into the cave and Reb dragged Murtagh in there behind him. She then used her shoulder and pushed a boulder in front of it and let it roll into place shutting Murtagh and Thorn in.

OOC: whoa, what happened here? is Eriel gone or something?

OOC: Great. so who's turn is it now?

OOC: bah, you go ahead and do it. You have been RPing with her more often than me. You know her better as a character.

OOC: Alright
IC:Eriel helped push the bolder in front of the cave and then dusted herself off. " Now what do we do? They will eventually get out. You do realize that don't you?" Eriel asked putting her hands on her hips and stood waiting for the answer.

OOC: whoopsies. forgot it was my turn here.

Indeed. Murtagh and Thorn can't stay in there forever. I suggest we keep them in there for the night, keep a full watch. When the night has passed without any occurrance, I think we can bring them out and keep a very very close eye on them.

Star didn't leave Faenfir's side. Instead she put her wing over him and lay her head next to his then closed her great eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Reb took her leave and found a soft spot in the sand and colapsed to the ground asleep.
Eriel sat down next to her dragon and leaned against a bolder. She smothered a yawn with her hands and then her eyes fluttered shut and she was asleep. Emhyrst also lay down and then closed her eyes. She was instantly dreaming.

OOC: I'm back. Err... Star, elves don't sleep XD Tks for playin my charry too =P

IC: Eriel looked at her memories again, she ventured deep into them, eventually coming upon her being ambushed by the kull. Her scar tingled lightly as she witnessed the fateful blow. She sighed and moved on to the day Emrhyst hatched. She watched in awe as she again witnessed Emrhyst's growth, her ability to breath fire at the age of four months and to become a full fledged dragon at the age of three years. She sighed and continued walking through her memories until she came to a huge door. It was runed and scared from her previous attempts to break it while she was training. It became runed as she honed her skills with every blow she made using its power. She nodded slightly and returned to the world, only to notice the moon at its full, blocking out the stars and illuminating the whole island.

OOC: Aww, that's so sweet!

IC: Eriel woke a little later. She noticed Emrhyst was up and already getting ready to hunt. She got onto her feet and peeked into the cave. She let out a shout of surprise. "Their gone!"

OOC: Its short.. but I can't think of anything else.

OOC: -Pass

OOC: pass turn

Faefnir looked at Reb. Are you going to do it? I can't hold Murtagh here forever.

Eriel stared at Reb's body for a moment as she threw Murtagh onto the ground. She was dumb-striken. She had always known Reb had compassion. This was so until she realised her transformation into Zantya. She walked over to Murtagh and tilted his head, exposing his neck to Zantya's piercing gaze.

Eriel watched as the skin on Murtagh's neck began to burn. She noticed Thorn rolling on the ground in pain. Emrhyst growled slightly as Zantya continued torturing Murtagh. With a sigh Eriel's hand darted infront of Murtagh's neck and started to heal it. "We'll get nothing out of him if he can't talk Zantya..."

OOC: I'll introduce Gryfendel next time I post. Btw star, is he accepted yet?

OOC: sorry. I completely forgot about this RP. pass.

OOC: Forget what I said, I totally forgot what I wanted Gryfendel to do..

IC: Eriel gasped as Murtagh pulled her on top of him. Next thing she knew, she felt a sword pass through her abdomen. Emrhyst roared in pain and placed a foot near Thorn's head. Eriel grit her teeth and coughed out some blood as he pulled his blade up. Emrhyst roared and stamped on thorn's exposed underbelly, causing Murtagh to jerk his hand in pain and release the blade.

Eriel tensed and used magic to pull Murtagh by the hair towards her. She removed her dagger and plunged it into his shoulder, exactly where it had hit Reb. She frowned at him and again, used magic to push him back against the stone. She uttered a word of thanks to Feafnir and went over to Murtagh. She drew her sword now, the blade glowed dimly as the Ignasia met the hilt.

Eriel grabbed Murtagh by his arm and threw him against and stone. She stabbed him through the thigh and proceeded to heal reb's wound. She removed the dagger in Reb's shoulder and replaced her dagger in Murtagh's with his own. She smiled as he shrieked in pain, pain from both the wound he had sustained, the the wounds his dragon was sustaining. Eriel punched him in the face then stared right into his eyes. "I heal you, and you hurt me. How manly." She smirked and removed her sword and dagger from his body.

OOC: pass turn.

Faefnir smiled at his mate. Nice move, darling. Even I never expected that.

Eriel, knowing Murtagh was too weak to walk, communicate, or even blink, walked over to a hill over looking Thorn. It was fun seeing StarGazer 'jumping' on Thorn. Eriel groaned as she got off him. She walked back to Murtagh and threw him down onto the beach, the drew her bow and shot afew arrows at him. She knew one had hit as Thorn growled in pain.

Such delicious agony! The exquisite pain! These people are truly after my own heart!
They cause so much pain, to one that is evil. But wouldn't that make the whole world evil? He chose life over death, he chose to serve rather than face the abyss. Does that truly make him evil?
Maybe not, but he chose to agree to harm others. and I like him for that.
Aeraldi argued with himself for a little while, watching the torture. He floated above, using the wind and pockets of air to stay afloat. He wanted to stop the pain, end the torture but he couldn't. The time wasn't yet right.
At least let me join in their fun.

OOC: Short post... A pass really.

IC: Eriel laughed and looked up.

Aeraldi projected his thoughts back to Faefnir;
I don't enjoy the pain you are causing. He did what most people would have done in his position. He chose life, but in doing so condemned himself.
Aeraldi circled for a bit before coming down. He walked slowly to Murtagh, sensing the pain. He touched Murtagh with his nose and a light that radiated from within Aeraldi enveloped Murtagh. His wounds slowly healed without leaving a mark.
This act of mercy infuriated Aeraldi to no extent, but after thinking for a bit realised that it could work to his advantage. With Murtagh's wounds healed he could inflict more pain and watch him wither in delightful agony.
Nobody, no matter what they have done deserves this kind of treatment. Sometimes offering a way to live freely can be all the motivation anyone needs. I know...

OOC: that was out of turn I-L-S but don't worry.

It seems that everyone has their demons. Whether we control them or let them control us. Either way nothing we can do can change past actions, we can only live with them. And if something was done that is regretted then apologise and make things...
I can't stand it anymore, all this talk about forgiveness and regret! If you know something is going to have a bad influence then don't do it in the first place! And your time is now UP!
Aeraldi quivered and gripped the ground beneath him, his entire body flailing about. His scales turned black, and his body changed.
If someone causes you pain then show them exactly what that pain feels like!
Aeraldi stepped forward and shoved his entire claw into Murtagh's stomach, letting his claws shred his flesh.

OOC: Aeraldi, remember. Any pain that your dark side causes will reflect back onto him. Just keep that in mind next time.

OOC: yeah, i know. If you want to ask about it in game he'll give you a bit of an explaination. I hadn't forgotten.

OOC:Pass

OOC: I guess it's my turn.

Aeraldi. You know that will do no good. Faefnir then stepped up to Murtagh and healed the wound. Then he stepped in between him and Aeraldi. 3... 2... 1...
