Felecia sat on Ebony's back in the air, she saw the water and said playfully to Ebony,"Do you want a bath?" he grinned wolfishly and dove for the water, making big waves as he entered the water, they glided along through the unclouded liquid, marvling at its beauty, after two minutes Felecia's lungs started to sting and she signaled for Ebony to surface.His head broke the surface first then his body, she laughed as hundreds of droplets rained on them.She dismounted Ebony, walked over to Midnight and took a shirt out of his saddlebag, she dried herself off, took off the soaking wet shirt and put on the dry one.Felecia gathered sticks and piled them together and said,"Brisingr." lighting them on fire.

OOC:Srry, short post, writers block.Ebony entering the water is what made the waves bigger.

OOC:I don't mind but I don't know about red, I don't think he would mind though, so yeah go right ahead.

The door to the tavern burst open with a loud crunch and a body raced outwards and landed heavily on the ground a few feet away. Keralin appeared a few seconds after, walking out of the door, his feet heavily but walking with a purpose. His face was twisted with a snarl and he started intently at the man on the ground. The man on the ground scrambled up to his feet with painful gasps and tried to run.
"You're not going anywhere!" Keralin said, pure hatred in his voice. He waved his arm and cast a spell, "Come." The man was brought magically back to Keralin who delivered a near fatal punch to the man's face. "Now tell me, where is he!?" He grapsed the man's throat and was clearly struggling to stop himself from choking him.
"I have no idea who you're talking about!" The man said, coughing out blood.
"Don't lie to me!" Keralin said, tightening his grip on the man's throat. "You delivered the crate here, where did it go!?"
"I don't know, I didn't ask." The man said, struggling to breathe.
"I said... Don't, lie to me!" Keralin delivered another punch to the man's gut. "I will tear the answers from your mind if you don't tell me, and that just might leave you a helpless corpse on the street. Unable to move, or even think. Now, where is he!?
Where is Aelir!"

OOC: I'll leave you to either watch or interfere with him, either way that's what I had in mind.

Felecia looked up as she heard a bid crash,"Stay here, I'll check it out." she told Ebony.Ebony nodded his head and laid down on the sand while Felecia ran to the city she heard someone yell,"Where is Aelir?" she ran even faster, when she entered the city she saw a man strangling someone.She walked over to the man and placed a hand on his shoulder,"Calm down." she said, gently prying his hands off the mans throat, the man ran away quickly.Felecia looked at the mans hand and saw something that was very familiar, the Gedwey ignasia,"Your a Rider." she whispered."Is Aelir your dragon?" she asked.

OOC:If you want me to edit something tell me and I'll edit it.

OOC: Yeah he is, are we going in turn or just when needed?

"Don't ever get in my way again!" Keralin snarled at Felecia, "I don't care if you're supposed to be my friend but if you get in the way of finding Aelir then I will kill you. Keralin emphasized the last few words with nothing but hatred. He took a suddering breath and closed his eyes. His face softened a little, revealing regret. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. I just... Aelir is my dragon, and I wouldn't be who I am now without him. Thank you for your help." He turned to face Mesariah with the man in tow. "Aelir was taken, I don't know where. I woke up after I heard Aelir scream for help, last thing I remember was this man pushing him into a crate." Keralin visibly struggled against his urge to hit the man.
"I was knocked unconsious after that, I don't remember anything after that. I scryed this man and found him here." He stared directly at the man then, his hatred evident. "Now tell me, before I lose my control again. Where did you take him?"
The man was clearly afraid and blurted out the answers that Keralin wanted. "I handed the crate to another trader who was going to a different island. He left just a few hours ago. I didn't ask where he was going or why. Don't hurt me again."
"I should tear you mind apart and see how you like it when a part of your being is torn away." Keralin said, his teeth clenched in anger. Then his face calmed and reflected sadness. "What would be the point... I can't find him now. I can't see where they went." Keralin collapsed to the ground, fighting back his tears.

OOC:I'm okay with that order.

IC:
Felecia showed her palm to Keralin and smiled,"Both me and Mesaraih are Riders." she went down on one knee and laid her hand on his shoulder again,"I will help you look for Aelir." she said, then her eyes got fiercer and her face got serious, she turned to the man and threatened,"If your not telling the truth you should right now." the man moved away from her and spoke,"He's two islands to the south, please don't hurt me!" Felecia nodded her head and said,"Sleep." in the Ancient Language, she looked at Keralin and said,"Who do you want to ride?There my dragon, Ebony.Mesaraih's dragon, Fenirexes.And Felena, a shape shifting Lethrblaka."

OOC: Well, I'm going with what you had in mind. I was just introducing Keralin and what his frame of mind would be for this story. He's basically distraught with grief and wanting to kill whoever took Aelir. I'll make references to it later in the story when nothing else is going on.

OOC:No offense Aeraldi, but could you speak english please?I have no idea what you are trying to say.

OOC: I'll try and make myself clear, I'm curious to know what you had in mind for your story but I had to give my charcter a reason for being there.
As for the order thing, I was wondering if it was just us posting in order or when we had to.

OOC: Well I'm quite interested in what you had in mind, it's why I joined it. I just wanted to give my character a good entrance.

And a good entrance it was.....do you want to find Aelir?If not I can edit my post.....if you do you might want to post.

OOC: I'll find him later on in the story, I'll put in occasionally a few hints at where he is and who has him and at the end I'll find him. Till then, I want to find out what you had in mind for the story.

That depends on how you answer my post.I was hinting to you that it was your turn.lol

Felecia smiled at Keralin,"We will find him." she said firmly, she turned her head to inspect the four human images in the sea, she noticed Mesaraih step back in shock,"Mesaraih, is something wrong?" she asked, not sure why he was startled by this phenomenon.Ebony and Felena took off and landed next to Mesaraih, Felecia, and Keralin,"I will help you look for Aelir." he said to Keralin, Felena nodded her head,"As will I." she said

OOC:Right.....

OOC: Pass.

Keralin watched as the lightning struck the being and dissolved it. He changed his style to confront the beasts.

Ebony grinned as Felecia found a weakness in the beings,"I'll distract these things from above, you guys fight from below." he said, taking off. One of the things struck at him, but he flapped his wings and got out of the way just in time. What he didn't see, was strings of water wrapping around his legs, they tightened their grip and drug him down. Ebony roared and strained every fiber of muscle in his body to escape the vice like grip, but they succeeded in dragging him under water. Ebony got a mouthful of water, then he realized what the things were trying to do,"Their trying to drown me." he thought,"That is not going to happen, not in a million years." he let his anger take over. His body grew to almost double it's ordinary size, midnight black scales turned crimson red. His warm gold eyes turned red, his silver spikes and talons turned red, everything turned red. Ebony looked down at the things holding him, just his red eyes were enough to make them release him, he flapped his wings in the water like fins. He burst to the surface, making droplets of water go everywhere, he roared again at the things that dared attack his friends. Water dripped off of him as he hovered above the battle area, snarling. Ebony lunged at one of the things that was sneaking up on Mesaraih, he landed behind him,"No one attacks my friends and lives to tell the tale." he said thunderously, snapping his jaws. Ebony laced his talons with lightning and sliced at the thing, it shrieked in agony but didn't die, he roared again, furious that it hadn't dropped dead.

Felecia gasped as something dragged Ebony under water, but covered her head as drops of water rained down on her. She uncovered her head and looked at the crimson red dragon that now hovered over the water,"Eb?" she thought in disbelief, but then she saw the scar along the dragons side, it was definitely Ebony. Felecia saw what Mesaraih was doing with his sword,"That's a good idea." she thought. Felecia covered her sword in lightning.

Felena watched as water dragged Ebony under water, then watched, horrified, as a crimson red dragon came up,"His anger took over." she thought. Felena shape shifted into a black wolf, then breathed deeply. She opened her mouth and water mixed with lightning shot toward one of the things, intending to electricute it to death. But it didn't die, it summoned a wall of water to absorb the shock, she howled and jumped at it.

OOC: I'll just push the story forward a little.

Dammit I don't have time for this! Keralin thought furiously. I have to find him! Keralin summoned up what power he had to strike at the beings of water and was about to strike when a curious thought entered his mind. Use the power of shadow.
Keralin pushed the thought out of his mind and concentrated on his goal, making sure that the beings wouldn't get in his way.
"Out of my way before I destroy the lot of you! You won't keep me from my dragon!" He screamed in anger. One of the water being stopped then and looked at Keralin. The one that breathes fire and creates disruption on our waters?
"His scales are the same color as my swords are now, if you don't want to taste their fury and mine then I suggest you tell me now!" Keralin took a step forward and raised his swords, a spark of electricity passing through the air between them.
Yes, that is him. He has caused this disruption and deserves punishment.
"It is not his fault! He wishes to be free from his captors!" Keralin pleaded.
He will be punished. And with that Keralin knew he had to stop these beings as fast as possible. He spun his swords in his hands and charged them with electricity, then drove them into the water. He used magic to amplify the electricity and direct it towards his target. The lightning travelled through the water and up into one of the beings, which shuddered and then exploded in a blaze of droplets and fire.
"Get in my way and I will kill the rest of you." Keralin said with deadly force.

OOC: Your two characters almost have the same name, it took me a while to realise that.

Keralin looked at Felena as she changed shape into a dragon that almost resembled his. "No, there is one other way I would try before I resign myself to them being the ones in charge." With that Keralin turned on his heel and moved quickly to the crystal in the center of the island. He raised his swords and brought them to the crystal, keeping them from touching the crystal.
"Tell me now or I break it. I don't know if this is the source of your power but I know that when the water touched it you came."

Felena shifted to a large fish, she dived under water to look for the crystal. She found it a couple yards down, she grabbed it in her mouth then swam back up to the surface. She shifted to a dragon again just before she broke the surface. Felena shook herself then walked up the beach, she dropped the crystal on the sand them put a paw over it,"If you don't tell us right now where Aelir, I'll crush it." she said. The voice came again,"We will never tell, you will never find him." it said, she growled and bared her fangs,"I'm not bluffing, I will crush it if you don't tell us right NOW!" she shouted, putting a little more pressure on it. It spoke,"Even if we did tell you, you would never be able to get to him before he was sacrificed. Fine we will tell you, but you have only two days to find him. He is at the bottom of the ocean in our city, we will not tell you where in the city however. In two days he will be sacrificed for the things he has done." the voice faded, Felena nodded in approval. She threw the crystal into the air and whacked it with her tail back into the water.

Ebony listened to the crystal talk, after Felena through it back in the water, his body shrank back down, and his scales returned to black. His eyes lightened up to gold. He shook his head as if trying to rid himself of a swarm of flies. Ebony looked around at Keralin,"Do not fear little one, we will find Aelir before they sacrifice him." he said.

Felecia's eyes widened in shock when the thing showed them an image of Aelir,"I've seen him before." she said, looking at Keralin,"How long ago was Aelir taken?" she asked, remembering that when she and Ebony were flying over a boat, they thought they had seen a dragon in chains on the deck,"Wait a minute, their lieing. Me and Ebony thought we saw a dragon in chains on the deck of a boat, not more than four or five hours ago. The dragon was the same color as your blades." she said, pointing at Keralins swords,"So he can't be at the bottom of the ocean. Their taking him somewhere." Ebony looked at her,"Yes I do remember seeing that." he said in wonder.

Midnight snorted and pawed the ground,"Then where do we look for him if their lieing?" he asked,"I don't think their lieing about the two day thing, so we need to find him, and find him fast."

OOC: If you want some more explaining I'll have Keralin do it in my next post.

OOC: *runs off to "Other Adventures" to find segment already written*

"Thank you." Keralin said, climbing onto Felena's back and into the saddle she had created. "Now, I'll tell you my story."

Around a hundred years ago I was still wandering the lands far beyond the sea, when I came across a town. I was hungry and needed money so I found a job being a mercenary guard for the King and his family. It was there I met Meridel, my first love. She was another mercenary like me but, she had an indomitable spirit and a loyalty to her comrades that made their blood burn like wild fire. I liked her from the moment that we met, but I couldn't have known what would come. We travelled for three months and we fought with words and swords many times along the way. As much with each other as well as anyone who tried to harm the King. One night we were aruging and my temper was getting to the straining point, she kept insulting my beliefs and I kept poking holes in her's. Swords were drawn and we duelled, first with swords and then with fists. For a Human she fought well, but compared to Elven standards she was but an ameteur. When we finished fighting and were tired and panting, we realised exactly what we were feeling and we kissed for the first time. We made love that night.
For the rest of the time we travelled we got closer and closer, enjoying each other's company. When we finished our duties and got paid we left together to the next town. When we arrived in the next town, I think it was called Panea (Pay-Nee-A), a monk wandered up to us and congratulated us. Both of us had no idea what for and when we asked him he said it was because Meridel was pregnant. We were both stunned and had nothing to say in return." Keralin looked at the water beneath them before continuing. "Little did we know what was coming around the corner. We stayed at the town for a month making our way as guards for whomever payed the most. After that..."
Keralin stopped, chocking on his own voice.
"The Draconians attacked. They swarmed through the town killing anyone they came across, except me and Meridel. We fought our way through the legions of Draconians together until we were separated and both of us tiring. Thats when... she was killed." Keralin sighed and closed his eyes, hating the fact that he had to remember the time yet again.
"I don't remember much after that except that I was in a rage and casting spells everywhere there was a Draconian. When I got to her she was already dead and my decent into madness was assured. I used the knowledge I gained from my travels to use dark magic and increase my own power. With every Draconian I killed I lost a little of myself yet gained so much power that I had lost my mind. My only thought was revenge, to make them feel the knowledge of loss, to know how it felt to tear everything inside into shreds and set them aflame. I reached into the realm of Shadows and harnessed their power for my own. I had become more powerful than any Sorcerer or Shade because every one I met I made their power my own. Every soul I sent to the afterworld I captured and forced to work for my own ends, to take the punishment that my soul should have taken by using the dark arts. That is when I earned the name 'The Shade of Shades' or 'Evil Angel'." What Keralin said next he said with the most profound sadness. "That is the one secret I hold to myself, that nobody may know the secret of. There is only one other being that knows of this secret that I couldn't hold it from. Nilarek. The rest of my story will explain how he came to be.
"While I was using the magic what I didn't know was that instead of controlling the shadows, they were controlling me. I rampaged through the land killing everything that reminded me of the Draconians, that included my own people. I arrived at the Draconian's last settlement, their birthplace and their stronghold. I broke their defences easily and started killing everything. That's when Meridel slipped through the gates and stopped me. She whispered into my ear that she was fine and happy now, that she resented me killing these innocent mothers and children like they had killed her. This brought me back to my senses and when I saw what I was doing I couldn't continue, but the Shadows had their grip on me so firmly that they weren't going to let it go without a fight. Meridel used the power of her own soul to banish the shadows inside me back into the nether where they belonged. I left the town in tears and chose exile, and there I stayed contemplating suicide. I wanted so badly to end my pain because I could never forgive myself for what I had done or live with the fact that she wasn't there with me." Keralin hated the story but knew that the more people knew about it the more they would avoid using such magic.
"I never want to return to that name but it still holds much influence over every being in existance."

OOC:
So sorry that I've been gone for so long, my mom put a password on the internet and I can't get on unless she says so. And plus my life has been stressful lately, so I didn't have enough time to ask my mom to let me on anyway.
IC:
As Keralin finished his story, Felena landed close to Fenirexes. She snorted in disgust,"The water beings are trying to slow us down. I can fix that." she said, drew in a breath, feeling the fire in her belly burn in excitement. She exhaled and flame erupted from her mouth, covering Fenirexes in sparkling red fire. Though it was slightly different, it wasn't hot, but nice and cozy warm. Felena closed her mouth and shuffled her wings,"That should do it. You should be protected from their magic now." she said.

Ebony followed Felena to the island and landed next to her just as she closed her mouth. Bah, water on my wings won't stop me from finding my brethren. he turned to look at Keralin, who was astride Felena. Now that I've heard your life's story, I understand why your so keen to find Aelir. I promise you now, I will hunt down and kill every last person that was involved in dragon knapping him. Upon my honor as a dragon. he said, and bared his teeth. Ebony snorted heavily. Now little ones, are we ready to move on? he asked, indicating his question more toward Mesaraih and Fenirexes than anyone else.

Zana brushed away some tears that had collected in her eyes,"I'm sorry Keralin, truly I am. You should not of had to go through that, especially at such a young age." she whispered. Never in her one thousand years of life had she ever heard of anyone going through that much, and she had heard a lot of life hardships. (OOC: I didn't just make that up, Zana is really that old. He he, I just forgot to mention it in Felecia's bio.) Zana brushed her shoulder length brown hair back with a hand.

Felecia s,ucked in a breath, stilling her shaking shoulders. She had been sobbing for the last minute, her sadness from Keralin's story almost overwhelmed Zana and Ebony. She finally was able to collect herself and slow her tears. Felecia suddenly got a vision. Keralin fighting for his life, Aelir's unconscous body in front of him. She was fighting close to him, killing one by one the humans that were guarding Aelir. Ebony was flying over head, trying to reach his friend. Midnight was flapping his wings and rearing up, dashing his hooves into the heads of the humans that dared venture to close. Mesaraih was on the ground, laying very still, Felecia couldn't tell if he was dead or not. Fenirexes was snarling and spewing an inferno of fire, his head weaving over his Rider. Suddenly Keralin gained his Evil Angel look, and charged toward his beloved dragon, sword swinging with deadly intent... and the vision ended (OOC: Fyi, the vision is viewable to others. I hope doing that was okay, I mea ILS did the same thing in a different thread) . Felecia staggered and took control of the body.

Midnight snorted as the vision swept through his mind, making him shudder as he saw Keralin. He didn't mention it to anyone else, knowing that they probably were able to see it.

OOC:
That should do, my mind has been fried for a couple days.

OOC: That's ok, perfectly understandable.

"Life story... Not quite but it is the most significant point of it." Keralin said. "I came to terms with my pain a long time ago, so don't feel bad for me. I still hate remembering it though." He added on. He knew that someday his demons would catch him and force him to do something unspeakable, but he knew that as long as he lived he would not succumb to the one demon that still plaugued the world. Nilarek. He was thinking about the shade when the vision entered his mind, the most disturbing was him regaining his old composure and charging at Aelir. He thought about it for a while then said,
"I can think of only two reason why I would look like that, one being that Aelir was dying and I had to heal him or his soul. The other... The other being that I succumb to my mental demons. That I would kill Aelir in my right mind is unthinkable, but then it might not happen at all." He pushed his hands against his head and rubbed his temples, "Ugh, I hate visions."

Zana yanked her sword out of the soldiers stomach. She ran to Ebony, leaped high into the air, and landed squarely on the saddle, though she winced from the hard impact. Let's do this Eb. she said to him. Ebony growled softly and followed Mesaraih and Fenirexes.

Felecia groaned as another vision interrupted her thoughts. It was much the same as the first one, but her sister and Felena was there, too. Keralin fighting for his life, Aelir's unconscious body in front of him. She was fighting close to him, killing one by one the humans that were guarding Aelir. Ebony was flying over head, trying to reach his friend. Midnight was flapping his wings and rearing up, dashing his hooves into the heads of the humans that dared venture to close. Mesaraih was on the ground, laying very still, Felecia couldn't tell if he was dead or not. Fenirexes was snarling and spewing an inferno of fire, his head weaving over his Rider. Her sister, Ella, was sneaking around the soldiers in her wolf form, her silver white eyes focused on Aelir. She knew a spell that would bring Aelir back to the land of the living. Her semi-dark amethyst dragon, Zeke, was hissing, snarling, and spewing amethyst flame from above, also trying to reach Aelir. Suddenly Keralin gained his Evil Angel look, and charged toward his beloved dragon, swords swinging with deadly intent, then he stopped, swayed, and collapsed. She could see that something wasn't right. A Shade entered her view. She couldn't tell what gender it was, but it was dangerous. The Shade seemed to make it's way toward Keralin's body, with obviously evil intent. Keralin wasn't dead, but he was close. He was somewhere between unconsciousness, and death. A blur of ruby red darted over Keralin's body, weaving it's head from side to side. It was Felena. And she looked enraged. Her face was covered in a malicious snarl, showing her horribly long fangs, dripping with crimson from a previous kill... the vision ended.

OOC:
Again, visible to the others.

IC:
Midnight snorted and bucked, hitting an unfortunate soldier. He raised his wings for flight and bright them downward with a swoosh! He followed Ebony and Zana. He landed in a strange cave entrance. He could sense Keralin not to far ahead. He broke into a brisk canter and came up behind him. It's me. he said so to not startle Keralin. Midnight watched in silence as the new vision swept into his mind. he snorted at the end. Yet another confusing vision. he said dryly.

Felena raced along the hallway, snarling every now and then as she ran into a soldier. Luckily, most of them covered their heads and cowered against the wall in fright at her ferocity. She arched her neck, and slid to a stop at a bend in the hallway to wait for Keralin. Keralin, can you sense where Aelir is? If you do find him before I do, use extreme caution, we don't want either of the visions to come true. she said, trying to sense if Aelir was near.

Ella walked stealthily beside her dragon, Zeke. She heard voices and froze,"Commander, the beast is here, when shall we begin? The beasts Rider is here already, along with help, my advice would be to start soon." said a deep voice,"No, wait until the Rider has found his precious dragon, then send out Zakilyn. He will put an end to them both. Like killing two birds with one stone." said a stern voice. Ella's ears pricked as she heard the scuffling of chairs on stone,"Very well commander, you say, we obey." said the first voice. She was barely able to duck out of sight as the soldier came into view and walked down the hallway, luckily away from her. Hm, I never saw any dragon here before in my prowlings. Maybe it was captured and brought here, and now the Rider is here as well. she said to Zeke. Zeke snorted quietly. Maybe. I can sense Felena, Ebony, Midnight, Felecia, Zana, and someone else that feels familar. Ah, yes. Keralin. But where's Aelir? Uh-oh. That's the dragon Ella, Aelir. Aelir is the one captured! Keralin must be in agony away from his friend of life. Come Ella, we must help in any way we can. said Zeke, helped her mount his saddle, than briskly trotted toward their friends.

Felena almost screamed at Keralin to stop, but an unseen force silenced her cry. Not so fast, little dragon. Let's let the Rider reunite with his precious friend, then I'll appear and kill them both, said a voice. Felena tried to move, but the force surrounded her mind and told her body to stay still. She was shaking with rage. Lets give the vision a chance to unfold before I let you go, it said. She jabbed at the conscience, hard. She was able to find it's name and what it was before she was blocked. It was a Shade, and his name was Zakilyn.

Even as Felecia watched Keralin race along the ground toward his beloved friend, twenty or thirty some soldiers jumped out in front of Aelir, blocking Keralin's path. She drew her sword,"Jierda!" she bellowed, snapping several of the soldiers' necks. Her face twisted into a horrid snarl as she realized that the vision was coming true.

OOC:
I'll add the others from the vision in my next post.

OOC:
Sorry red, but I have to answer Aeraldi's post.

IC:
A Shade with shocking blue hair and eyes stepped from the shadows, a malicious smile on his face,"You want to battle me? It will be your death...." he hissed, and disappeared in a plume of black smoke.

With a savage jab, Felena broke free from the Shade's control. She could hear his mental scream of pain, and was surprised. She must of jabbed him harder than she thought. But as soon as she was free, Zakilyn attacked her mind again. He broke her barriers and seized her mind, holding her body paralyzed so she could do nothing but watch as the vision unfolded before her eyes. She knew that her role in the vision was coming, and fast.

Felecia jumped out into the open to aid Keralin. Just as the vision stated, Ebony took off and started bellowing plumes of midnight black fire down below in an attempt to clear a path so he could reach his friend. She looked up for a brief second as she heard another set of wing beats. Zeke had arrived.

Zeke snarled and lunged downward. He swept several solders aside with his tail, but they just came back. One jabbed at his nose with a spear. He jerked his head back just in time to avoid the blow. He back-flipped then rose up to avoid more wounds. He hissed, inhaled, and spewed white hot amethyst flames, careful to avoid his friends and Aelir.

A white wolf slunk close to the ground, avoiding attention from the soldiers. She eased around the main body of the battle, then the side. She was really close to Aelir now, just a few more yards....

With an ear piercing whinny, Midnight plunged into the fray, lunging, rearing, and bucking, flapping his massive feather covered wings (like Pegasus wings, but black). He flew up into the air as a soldier decided he wanted to go for a ride. He winced as the soldier squeezed the life out of his belly and clung to his mane. He snorted, then magically made a saddle and a bridle with reins appear on his body. Will you fight with us? he asked the soldier. If it means that you won't kill me and I can return to my family, then yes, I will gladly fight with you, the soldiers said, who had by now put his feet in the stirrups and picked up the reins. The signals that I know are these; if you nudge me with one of your feet, I know you will want me to go left or right and down. If you tug, gently, on the right or left rein, I know you will want me to go right or left and up. If you combine right foot and right rein, then I know you want me to stay where I am, but go right. Same with left, he explained. The soldier squeezed, gently this time, with his legs to say he understood. Midnight felt the slight pressure on his right side, and dove right toward the ground. He felt the soldier draw his sword and slice at his former comrades. Then the slight tug on the left rein, and he flapped upward to the left, out of reach of the other soldiers' swords. Oh, and if you want me to stop completely and hover in the air, apply even pressure on both reins, he added, again the soldier squeezed to say he understood. The pressure soon came. The reins tightened slightly on both sides, gently, but firmly. This soldier had ridden on a horse before. Midnight pulled up and hovered, the rhythmic flapping of his wings the only sound he could hear, because they were so far up.

OOC:
Okay, now it's up to you guys for what happens next. I'll skip my next turn unless I have to reply to one of you, or both of you...darn it, I confused myself.lol (I think I got every one of my charry's that I control from the vision in this post. If you notice someone missing, please point it out to me.)
