ooc: Weeeeelll. We had just returned to kelpter's house, when a big army of dark monsters attacked. We set a trap, and I used a big Void portal to take out alot, but one attacked shadow with his own sword. Klepter got kiddnapped, Catc went after him and I got drawn into a fight with a shade who has been hunting me for ages, Shadow was disoriented and wandered into my battle, and the shade attacked him and summoned to shadow hounds to fight him. I'm now about to seal the Shade into Sanguine... and that's pretty much the rescent events

ooc: Okay, wow. 0.0 Lesse, ehm... Oh! Black would be really good here! Is there a group of the dark monsters, or is there just the one shade?

ooc: There is a group of dark monster outside the cave Klepter is hiding in C:

IC: Outside the cave, a small commotion is beginning. A small group of monsters are huddled around one spot, and they seem to be fighting. Suddenly, a woman's shriek fills the area. The monsters seem to struggle even harder with the thing between them, though nothing but black can be seen. Just when they seem to be under control, a sharp whistle pierces the air, followed immediately by a loud explosion of sound. Several of the creatures are thrown back as the ground trembles, and something black darts away from them, to the left of the cave.

you sure do amke it hard on a guy silveera. * i mutter as the hell hounds close in* hyrthraka shista, corumba thriss ( compress the air at impact.) when i lose the arrow it makes a strange whistling sound. on impact with the ground, a large gust of air pushes the dogs back toward their master.

*i sit up and look out of the cave, most of the monsters are gone so i stand, and just as i stand i get attacked by a skeleton monster* wow, whered you come from *i rip out the mighty kleptor and my light kakana to comfront the foe*

The monsters seem to divide themselves. Some stay near the cave while the few who were blasted by the sound wave go chasing after the black thing. It darts up the hillside above the cave, and the roof of the entrance rumble with the pounding of their feet. There is another scream and the black thing darts into the cave, breathing heavily. It is hidden by shadows before it is identifiable.

OOC: Shadow, please don't control my characters. She was not wearing a cloak, she is Black, and she is black. If you didn't know what you need to know for our characters to interact, you could ask me here or on dA. <3 IC: The small black thing slows its breathing, and licks its lips, which had dried out. It rustles its wings, which sound more like feathers than leather. Two silver eyes gleam from the darkness in the cave "eey'yenn malwus tek'cht m'mey'y'y uun!!!" The creature's tail whips to the side and crashes into the cave wall. The creature is not much larger than a lap dog, so the tail does little damage. "Do you know the tek'cht, the- the creatures who silence the Uun? What are you doing yem'n- with them?"

ooc: oh sorry, ill delete the comment

ooc: 'Tis fine. ^^

oh by the way, could you comment on this one cuz i have no idea what you are talking to and neither does anyone else

Well, Black was being held by the creatures outside Klepter's cave. She broke free with a blast of sound and got into the cave that Klepter was hiding in. Shadow, you're hiding in the cave too, right? You asked who she was and she responded. Ah, but I see now that you are with Silveera, and nowhere neer the cave. Well then, she is talking to Klepter and Catc, who i assume is also in the cave. =)

uh, no, actually im sort of leaning against a tree since i have a huge gash across my chest and a mending broken ankle. and catc is somewhere. shes been off for a while

ooc: mmk

puts away the arrow and slings the longbow across my back, and changes to dragon form. then, i fly up to where the creatures are are fire a long blast of blue fire at them, scattering in all directions, then fly to the cave where klepter is and changes back to human form in a blast of blue fire. after that, sitka (my dragonling friend that follows me everywhere i go) lands on my shoulder as i sit down

FINNALY *i sheith my swoards and sit down, bones skatered all over one side of the cave* it'll be better if we stay together so we cant be attacked and overwelmd and i gota say, some of the monsters are pretty tough.

The black thing hides just deep enough in the cave so it is hard to see it, but close enough to the entrance so that it is not trapped inside. It growls. "What business have you with the tek'cht? Why do they come near you?"

we are dragon lords. the lord Shantanaro has risen again we captured him but currently we cant kill him

The creature walks closer into the light. The faint outline of a dragon the size of a lap dog can be seen. "Why has he risen? Have you called him?" Her voice is quiet, though whispers of a threat.

no, someone else has called him. no one knows who though, but those who serve him felt his awakening and have formed ranks. not many are left from the first war who remember it, so it would seem that we are the only resistance left.

The small black dragon comes out into the light. Her scales are a shiny black which reflect a metallic blue, but some barts of her are just a murky black. These include a swirl beneath her left eye, some on her right wing shoulder, and one on her left hip and on her back left foot. Her tail ends in a rounded diamond shape which is also murky black. Her silver eyes shine. "Our name is Black. We are the one who hears the Uun. The one who knows the Y'muella. We know you speak the truth. We will know if you want to harm us." Black so far has not blinked at all, gazing deeply into Shadow's face. "Those creatures had captured us and held us in a place that was not, a place which never heard the Uun. A nothingness. When we heard the Uun as faint as the calling of the wind, we found the power to escape, and found ourselves here. Shall we fight with you and send these tek'cht back the the place that is not?" She stays perfectly still, looking up at Shadow. Not even her tail twitches.

Wait, you said "we" and "us". Is there more of you and if so, how many? We could use all the help we can get, we're kinda out numbered right now as you can see.

"We exist as many, yet we are only one body at a time. We have no more than what you see before you." Black finally breaks eye contact and looks to the mouth of the cave. "They are still out there, yyet we do nothing but talk. Do you wish to let them escape and do as they please, or rather that they find their way in here kill us all?"

hmm. shes got a point. so shall we do this as draconic or old school. * watches as klepter draws the Mighty Kleptor* old school it is.* draws my longbow and a fresh arrow. (normally i would be using arwen, but right now with a broken ankle, id say that as a ranger, a bow and other range weapons will do fine.)

"We cannot fight as anyone but Black, and even then we are weak. We are small, but we will help the best we can." Black turns her whole body to the cave's entrance and lets out an echoing roar so loud that it should not have been able to come from one so small.

OOC: shadow, please don't control others' characters, i would have drawn both of my light katanas IC: *i draw both of my light katanas, and slowly move towards the entrance of the cave* should we attack of wait for them to come in?

Black shifts her gaze to Keeper. "We must go out and fight. Drive them into the cave where they will meet our wrath when they are cornered." The malice in her voice rises far above her expression.

*i raise my eyebrows at this little dragon* OK, how do you suppose we'll get around to corner them in the cave?

Black pauses for a moment. "We do not know your abilities. We could hit them with my sound, but it might collapse the cave." She does not mention the fact that this could hurt the other dragons on her side for a bit, but after considering she might not escape without their help, mentions this to them.

eh, we might want to save that for last. wait... *i look at black for a second* earlier you said we, so where are they, wouldn't they be helpful?

Black stays silent, having mentioned the answer to the already. Her tail twitches as she senses the danger growing. ooc: the comment should be near the top of the screen if you are scrolled all the way down.

*i hear strange things in my mind, i shake my haed and yell* WHAT DO YOU WANT FORM ME!?

*has found my way out of the strange catacombs and is now behind Nayru and Keeper*

*i turn around and have a blank face, then fall forward*

ooc: CatC, I'm playing as Black, not Nayru. You can find her description in my journal. I have sadly been unable to scan it yet. ic: Black danger sense begins to throb so much, so fast, and so painfully she lets out a loud shreik before losing control of her legs and crumpling to the floor. In just seconds, however, she stand up shakily, squinting towards the entrance where keeper has fallen. "No..." A black thing tries to tie him up. "No..." Black wobbles quickly towards them. Dark tendrils wrap slowly around his legs. "No!" Ignoring the pain in her skull, Black charges forward, ready to figh with tiny teeth and miniscule claws for her ally.

help...me...n..o..w... * I slowly lose strength but I still manage to claw into the cave, my last resort is to use my secret weapon. I put my hand to my chest and my eyes turn a fierry red, I leap up and start mumbling stuff in a coherent sentence, I then pull everyone back behind me as I ignite into a burning form of a person. I slowly start to spin my hands in a small circle then slowly enlarge the circle, a tornado of fire enlarges infront of me as it slowly makes it's way to the entrance of the cave, where all the enemies are waiting, as I enlarge the tornado even more I fall to one knee as blood forms a little drop at the edge of my noes.* I need to save them *I say to myself*

Seeing a giant tornado of fire being made by a person who seems nearly dead causes her danger sense to flare up again. Barely standing, she looks to CatC and Shadow too help him. "Mey'yo... iff'n.. neyn..." (I can do nothing.) "Help him." She winces again as the pain becomes almost to great to bear. Cannot panic... canNOT panic..

NO, don't touch me, it will cause great pain that's unbearable to anyone that is not a oracle.

ooc: *flails* slow down a bit guys D8 ic: *With a brief flash of blinding light, the shade dissapears as it's sealed with in Sanguines blades. I quickly tug them free of the ground, forming them back into a single sword. 'Throwing' my mental senses wide, I quickly locate the others. I open a void tear with a flick of my hand, and limp through, appearing a few seconds later beside catc, it takes me a few seconds to register what's going on. Sensing Klepters stregth waining, I race forward, black fire forming around my arms, I join the whirling torent of dark-fire to Klepters* This might help a bit

ooc: Silveera: I'll apollogize for the other one, because I started an all-out battle in two comments, but I don't think it was my fault that this one went so fast.

*I fall to my other knee and the blood from my noes is perfuse, I take a deep breath and Finnish what I started. I shove my hands out and spread my fingers and the fire shoots forward, burning everything infront of the cave entrace. I crumple to a heap on the cave floor* someone needs to get to my house and get my gems...it's the only way... * saphirra sudden comes flying out of a hole in the wall, lands and starts to transform within a bright blue light, when she emerges she is the same size as black.*

Black's danger sense begins to recede a bit when the fire tornado moves out of the cage, and she is able to stand firmly and see without squinting. "What ha- happened?" She looks at Silveera. "Who are you?"

*I drop my arms and lean against the sie of the cave, utterly exhausted and aching every where. I turn my head to the unfamiliar voice, and mutter tiredly* I'm Silveera.... who are you?

*shapirras new form stands and looks at black* she is silveera, she is a friend. *saphirra looks at silveera* this is black, she is a...*shapirra can't remember what black called herself*

Black nods. The danger sense is gone, and there seem to be no enemies left. Looking at Keeper, Black asks: "Are you okay?"

ooc: Oh fffff... I totaly forgot about Sapphira... and that I had flute with me xD ic: *A green and cream blur, that is Flute, shoots from with in the cave, attaching herself to my hair, chittering and whistleing loudly, her oversized ears turning in every direction and her eyes dark orange with aggitation* Calm down girl.. * I slide down the wall as my legs give out*

Black's eyes widen. "What's wrong?"

*nezzer comes out of the same hole In The wall. Saphirra looks at everyone then notices me lying face down on the floor* what happened to my hatcher? He has been caring for me since my hatching.

ooc: Who are nezzer and Saphira?

ooc: Nezzer is Klepters dragonling(?) companion. ANd Sapphira is a dragon hatchling we found as an egg, that we rescued from Shantanaro. Sapphira is special because she posses the power of all elements

ooc: okay ic: Black, who has no medical abilities at all, walks to the mouth of the cave and begins to send out blasts of sound in a strange pattern. It seems similar to morse code, yet has no meaning in morse. In a few minutes, Black walks back into the cave, and lays down next to Silveera.

Ooc: yea that's right, nezzer is smaller than black and spahirra is as big as black right now. (she just transformed) she will keep transforming in size and ability until she reaches a climax.

*I laugh softly at Black's question* I'm just tired..... from fighting Shantanaro... twice. His curse half consuming my arm... breaking the other one.... creating a huge Void Tear to get rid of most of those creatures.... then fighting, and sealing a shade into my sword

*saphirra looks up for a second* I saw it all, you were very brave. *she says. She looks back at me on The ground* can someone help my hatcher?

Black nods, sleepily. It's not that easy so send out such powerful sound waves for several minutes at a time. "We have done what we can." ooc: AUGH! I must go now, I hope to be back soon! (tonight)

*Yawns* Saphy, if you look... in klepters hip pouch... there should be a jar of green salve..... *My head tips forward* It's a healing salve.... it should help...his... wounds *I fall asleep. Flute sits on my shoulder, whistling her eyes a lighter orange, but still agitated*

*saphirra moves to the side of my body and grabs the bag* huh, where is it? *she moves her clawed hand in the bag looking for the salve, she finally pulls out the vial. She pulls out the stopper and applys the salve to my chest and legs (where I got grabed by the black stuff) the she sits there waiting for something to happen*

*Flute chitters softly, flapping her irridecent wings, she flies over and lands on Sapphira's head, her eyes turning purple with curiousity* ooc: FYI, Flute isn't much bigger than a small housecat

sitka, flys over and begins to wrap a bandage over the salve (how she got one i dont know) then waits by sapphira and waits for something to happen

*saphirra looks at flute and nods her head* I hope he's going to be alright...he's as brave as silveera. *I stir slightly and look up at saphirra, nezzer, sitka, and flute.* get my gems * is all I can get out before I fall back down. Nezzer knows exactly what I mean and flys straight out the cave and back to my house*

i begin to follow nezer and sitka comes with.* can you 3 watch after him until i come back come back?

*saphirra nods her head* I think silveera will just sleep and catc, I dont know were she went. *saphirra lays down and looks out onto the chared ground of the battle field.*

when we get back to klepters house, nezzer beggins to chatter about the stolen and the missing. when we get to klepters treasure room, the place is empty. while i think over this, nezzer dissapears and is back in a minute yelling about how the dark lord is gone. i quickley realize what he means and begin to run toward the cave * guys, Shantanaro is escaped and klepters gems are missing. Shanty must have taken the gems as he left, knowing klpter was weak

*Flute cings to Sapphira's head as she nods, making scolding chitters, she jumps from her head and lands on the ground, fluffing her fur*

no...there not gone...just hidden...one of my deffences...when I get attacked by my house...same for shanty...there just invisible...nezzer still knows were they are...I don't keep them in my treasure room.

ookay, then where is shanty

OOC: *is back and even more lost again* IC: I'd quickly make him vasable againt o check on him. *senses a ominous something tugging at my mind and attention but ignores it*

when i make my way to the cave i notice that catc isnt there. odd, where did she go

IC: *is behind you in the shadows blending in with only the slight gray looking paws (they are white but not in the dark lol)

*saphirra looks at shadow* did you find them?

see ya. got to get up at 6 so its bedtime. night

Ooc: huuuuu, I'm gonna get off in a while too, but until then. Ic: *saphirra tries to find catc in the dark but can't* catc where are you?

Black, mostly asleep, lifts her head slightly and looks to the mouth of the cave. "She didn't come," she mummbled, and fell back to sleep.

*saphirra, too scared to sleep, gets up and paces waiting for anything good to happen.* why did this happen again...nezzer don't you remember the first time? What happened?

From the distance, a long dragon call is heard. Black lifts her head and walks to the entrance of the cave, sending out a call of her own. Soon, a streak of fire falls from the sky, shooting towards the cave. ooc: Dudes and dudettes! Check out this awesome dream I had! <3 http://nayru-dragon.deviantart.com/#/d46v3dj

what the? oh well. lets see, we need something to help heal klepter.* nezzer he talked like you knew where the gems were do you.?

*nezzer and saphirra perk up* what's happening? *saphirra asks. She looks at nezzer for a second* I think your right, shadow *she calls* nezzer told Menander to hold the gems until we could get back, there safe at his cave behind klepter's house...he has been waiting ever since. *she can badly hold her excitement.* I think you need to get over there right now! *saphirra looks at black* sorry to interrupt, I couldn't hold my excitement...*she looks down*...I'm kinda new to verbal talking.

ooc: I've gotten a bit lost, so I'm going to drop out of this one, okay? <3

ooc: no, its so much fun having multiple persons writing diffrent stories. the more people, the more exciting it gets

ooc: My character just ins't merging very well. This is one of the mistakes I often make while roleplaying.

well, you could just read our entire story on your free time. Then you wouldnt be lost ic: OK Sapphira. Sitka, would you like to come? *Sitka trills happily and fly over landing on my shoulder

@nayru: were still in the cave waiting for shadow to go get my gems, but he keeps getting side tracked...*glares at shadow* ic: *saphirra yells* hurry shadow! ooc: its fun having a girl and a boy character...dont judge me...ic:

ooc: Dun wanna! *Fake tantrums.*

ooc: *watches out of the corner of my eye* then can you at lest properly leave the rp?

ic: Black, no longer needing the dragons around her to be protected, gives them one last look, and without a word, leaves the cave anf flys away.

*saphirra opens her eyes after closeing them a few seconds ago.* why cant klepter be better, and why couldnt that little dragon help him?

cmon sitka.* runs after nezzer, finding a large cache of gems in a small cavern guarded by something. anyway i begin putting the gems into my pack (its bigger on the inside ) and run back to the cavern where everyone is.* ok nezzer, you know what to do, right*nezzer begins to place the gems around klepter in a circle until a golden glow begins to cover him

*I stir in my sleep, and flute hops over to me, whistling. I yawn, rubbing my eyes bleary and blinking at the golden glow* Wha-? *I look around, noticing the absense of the little black dragon* Did it leave?

unfortunatly yes. hmm the enemies seem to have left. you can go back to sleep if you like. ill keep watch.

*I stir ever so that no one notices...NOT EVEN SHADOW...I look around with only my eyes and see everyone but the little black dragon that I have recently thought of as helpful. I just lay on the floor and absorbe the light energy from my regrency dome. In the pale light I see a new form laying besides my yet it's odly familiar.* finally a regrency dome...all my power is returning. *apparently I startly saphirra and she wakes, and trying to rethink the words that was just said she stood and stared long and hard at the pool of light about me. Then she said* klepter? Are you...ok? *I turn my head toward the sweet voice and say* yea I'm fine...but hit nezzer in the back of the head for me for not remembering. *we both chuckle*

*I stretch, flinching as my muscles cramp, and yawn expansively as I stand* I'd rather not, the ground here is cold... and uncomfortable

What ya say silveera. *I say still laying in my pool of light. Saphirra looks at silveera and asks* are you uncomfortable?

It's cold, and I left my cloak back at your house *I shiver as a cold gust of air rushes into the cave* How can you live in such a cold place Klepter??

*I motion for saphirra to get my pack by using my eyes* silveera, why do you ask for other than thies two important things, one; most enemies can't function well in the cold, and second; I'm covered with fur no matter what...so it doesn't affect me, at all, why don't you just sleep I your dragon form? I bet it would be warmer. Oh yea and a third the is that I can find a lot of gems and other things I. This mountain...wait...now I remember this cave, it was my first mine...I got attacked by so many creepers...(please tell me you got that) so I abandoned it.

I can't, I used to much energy making that huge Void tear and sealing the Shade. If I try to change forms I could get stuck halfway... which would be very unpleasant

Ok, then have this. Saphirra give it to her. *saphirra walked over to silveera and placed a cloak gently in her lap "I hope it will surfice, it's not as fancy as your other one though" OOC: I'm gonna speak as saphirra with " " around what she says. IC:

*I quickly wrap the cloak around myself* Thanks *I smile gratefuly* ooc: And now I do have to go, I have animals to feed and a house to clean c:

OOC: do you have a llama? I've always wanted to know someone that owns a llama.IC: *I just nod everso slightly* it's the least I can do, after all you did Finnish what I was doing, and you have rid my land of those vermin...so basically I owe you my life, or anything you wish. *as I say this my eye lids fluted as I try to stay awake. Saphirra walks over to me and every click of her claws echoing off the floor riverbeat into me a trance like sleepiness, she comes right up besides me and lays down in the same spot. She says* "so what are we going to do in the morning after we get out of this cave?" *I instinctively start humming* "what are you humming?" *she asked. At this I start singing a old Dragon lyulaby that was sung to me when I was young*

When younglings play so hard all day,
They need to rest in my open cave.
Regain the light your play has spent;
My bed of gems I now will share.

So leave your eyes as open doors
To gather truth, to gather light,
For truth and light will call as one,
"Rebuke the false and scatter night."

And now I call to you in song;
Regenerate within my tomb.
Above all gems you are to me,
I call you from your hidden room.

For when phantoms knock on words of light
To open paths to worlds beyond,
A friend replies "insert the key
To leave the dark and greet the dawn.

"the key is light, the words of truth;
No lie can break the chains of death.
To bring new life, the spirits breath."

For now I sing a key for you,
The phantom waiting at the door;
We call to you, sapphira who
Will join us now in holy war.

*my voice dies off and I open my eyes and look at the little "new" dragon beside me.* the ending was forgoten to me so I made up the last part. "you sang that beautifully, I shall remember that all ways."
If you shall bear young, sing them this song...it is said to help them develop a natural keen sense of right or wrong.
OOC: that is not my poem, I am jet using it for this porpoise because it seemed to work. It belongs to Brian Davis author of the dragons in our midst sierise and the oracles of fire series. This poem is found in the last book of the oracles of fire series. Note: not my work.

hears a rustling in the bushes some 200 feet from the mouth of the cave. i pull out arwen just to check the blade. the blade's writing glows silver, indicating possible danger. when i walk out to where i heard the noise, i hear something else behind me. then arwen flares up and wheni turn to look at whats behind me i feel a pain in the back of my head and know no more

*as if by magic, I fall into a deep sleep as soon as I stop singing* that's what it's like *I mumble before my head turns to the side as I start to sleep. Sappihra who has been awake for a whil finally finds rest and falls asleep quickly. With our eyes open we apper to be dead.*
