greeg? whos greeg? i said greer and it does look like ice magic.*appears in the form of a dragonic soul (transparent)* were is acylius in all of this?

*munches random mini chocolate chip muffins* I'm not familiar with the object its self, but I can sense most elemental magics, especialy ones that clash with my fire magic *offers muffins to everyone*

MUFFINS! *noms happily on one* hello silveera n/n

Hi guys. =) *takes the orb and settles down in the grass, tapping on it lightly with one nail then listening, hearing faint scratching from within* What do you make of that? *looks around to everyone else*

*still in phantom form* i think t means that there is a life force inside and to silveera's standards a powerful one at that. *floats over to raina* so we might have a very powerful baby ice dragon. whos good at useing magic? *looks around to see if any one hased raised their hand/claw* if you are then you will have to mentor this baby dragon. *solidifies and motions for the orb* i must see our future guest.

Oh a little ice dragon sounds interesting I wonder if it is like me and posses both fire and ice? That would be cool *comes closer for a better look and watches it intently*

no it doesn't. *now holding the "egg"* it posses *gasp* ALL ELEMENTS EQUALLY. its more powerful that Tempest himself. its like shartanarou all over again. we need the most skilled dragon in all of dragnix to train this younging so we wont have war, again. also we need to find its mother, *ahem* sorry, "her" mother so we can inform her of these two things. one: that she has a dauter, and two: that she has the power to destroy the world. *phatomises with the "egg" sudenly and then changes back* thats starting to get worse.

le gasp wow well what if we worked together that way it wouldn't have to be one person to have all that responsibility (lol yeah I signed in for once)

ya since we all have different traits then we can teatch "her" how to use the different elements. *phantomises then solidifies four times before solidifing* this thing IS getting worse by the second. im never going to sneek when im grounded ever again.

OC: lol seems like you are stranded on the island of grounding and surrounded by the seas of boredom and woe IC: wow perhaps you should set it down maybe being held for so long is upseting the little thing *gets closer almost touching it with my nose and watch it blink*

i dont think it can tell if its being held or not since it is still in its "egg"....wait....its.....name.....is.......s..a..p..p..h..i..r..a...a..d..i. sapphira adi? wierd name if you think about it.(i from now will also play the role of "sapphira"(no comment))

Saphira huh? thats a pretty name well what should we do with the egg then we need a safe spot to store it until it hatches we can;t all hold it all the time... Oh I know theres a cubby hole here beneath this raised root of the Shadey tree it will be safe there

no i dont think it will. i have a hallow in my coat that it would be safe consitering the fact that i allways have it with me, and i think it bonded to me. dont ask me how cuz i have no idea, but when i am not touching it i feel....alone like i have nothing.

*I yawn, and slide down the tree* I can maybe teach it to controll fire magic.... and maybe shadow, though I can barely controll that myself (I have Shathra, the lesser god/demon of the moon shadow sealed within my soul, it is the essence of evil and malice. I can use it's dark abilities, at the risk of it taking over my body)

I guess I could teach it white and ice magic, but what about my friend? his name is Cantao, his home is about two days, straight flying from here. Should we do it? He said he might know know something about it..

anyone that knows anything about this should be on our priority list to see them but not just yet, but we shouldn't fly the entire way, because i have a little side atraction if you know what i mean. my friend, Shadow, knows about dark magic and shadows (hence his name) he lives a day and a half straight north west from here. we should visit him first also for his imence knowledge of egg shapes and colores, to type of dragon.

ok lets do that *takes off towards the north-west*

wait i have to warn him were coming or he'll try to shoot us out of the sky. and thats hard enough even when you do know were to look.

ok sounds like he's pretty skilled... Is he really that impulsive? *lands again, waiting for the others*

I can teach it in the ways of fire/ice combined n.n though hmmm the ice part is risky due to the fact that that is my dark form's power who is coherced very easily by power.

well thats what Shadow is good at, shooting you out of the sky with dark magic ice spheres (they consume your flesh and make you a big ice statues that he uses for his chess games) hes not that nice unless you know him that well.......wait i think i can change you all to phantom form so we can just fly in, but that could be risky cuz i've never transformed this many. *shifts to phantom form, flies through all of you, lands then shifts back* i see that most of you are phisicly and mentaly able to control your phantom form. so its worth a try.

*I stand up and stretch, dodging keeper* You don't need to change me into a phantom, I have my own version *I split my 'being' between void and this realm, my body becoming transparent and immaterial, though my shadow darkens and dark shapes seem to flicker around me* See, and I can change back to normal when ever I want

well thats one person that i dont have to maintain in phantom form. does every ome know the plan?

i think so We trn transparent other than your self and fly to this guy and talk to him all the while trying to not get killed *changes to dark form which is faster and more swift.Lightning blue eyes now stare out from the branch and black fur and giant tail blade shine and my white paws lazily swing gently over the branch* i can not fly so i shall follow you on foot. Don't worry I can keep up espically in this form

wOw this is so cool!!! I've never been in my phantom form *flies trough a tree, all the way up, and back down* thanks, Keeper!!

*cringes* just dont go through stuff unless you have to, it drains my energy. and since im holding every body in this form (except for catc) it will drain it faster.

yeah i blend in pretty well except for these white paws lol OC: btw I defended you on DA to help clear some stuff up

(thanks for the DA thing. i didnt like why they just attacked me like that except for that thing they said, so i deleted those two pics. just so they cant say that i have them up anymore and make it worse.) well as soon as i warn Shadow we can go. *looks for the secret becon (looks like a small golden ball)

(I'm asuming it's nighttime, cause that'll make getting in easier)*my eyes change colour, the sclera and irises become black, while my irises become slitted and fluro green* I'm going to use night vision from here on, so no bright lights please, also I can't fully change into my dagon form while i'm in "lingo" so I'll use a partial transformation and travel on foot with Catc *My form seems to shimmer and distort, and my legs lengthen into my dragon form's legs*

*makes several twists in the air, starts to get dizzy* Keeper, stop it!! if you're controlling me, please do it gently! Ehrm, it was you, wasn't it?

ugh i dont think so i was trying to find the becon. hey silveera, the becon will shine once i touch it and its pretty bright so night vision will hurt your eyes. * starts to get pulled uncontrolably to the forests edge. then stops when i hit a tree* ok im going to, first change you all back to phsical forms, and second find the becon so we can go, this place is getting creepy. *flys through all of you but silveera and catc then solidifys* ok evey body look for a little hole in the groung next to a tree, thats where the becon is hidden.......and hurry! before the sun comes up.

chapter two is up

*closes eyes and focuses outward looking for the pull of power and feels a slight tug coming from the west beyond a giant Oak tree several hundred yards away. It pulses every once and a while* could it be there? *nods head in that direction*

*I suddenly diassapear completely, a few seconds later a tear appears in the air and I step back into this realm. Visible and materal again, with a slightly annoyed and concerned look* We have to hurry up and leave this area *looks around warily* My "friends" just warned me that something bad is coming after that "egg" and by bad, I mean way, seriously, majorly bad.

thats why it pulled me. HA i found it *holds up a bright gold ball* lets go before it......*gulp*..comes *trees spread apart and Shantaranou's form lumbers out half solid and half phantom* (Shantaranou) GIVE ME THAT EGG!!!! *trees shake* never quick lets get out of here! *i shout*

*immediately goes to full puffage and hisses, eyes glaring at the intruder. My claws dig into the ground and tail lashes violently*

no catc no, dont, hes more danderous in this form then while being solid *flys back on his blind side and severs both his solid legs* lets get out of here!!

yikes!!! why is he growing, keeper? and why so fast? *steps back towards the group* What the.. AAAGHH!!!!!! *gets hit by Shantarano's claw* Damn, that hurts!! *Tries to heal it, purple scar stays* He's got poisoned claws!! Run, or fly, whatever!!!!!! *takes off to a high treetop*

its the darkness, hes growing from the darkness *all ready flying around the group* hyozanryu get up here, and i'll heal you, dont any of you remember your training!?! only go for the weak spots! *flys twoard a tree so i can heal hyozanryu*

*shoots a little glare at keeper and after a brief stare down at the beast I look up at the others flying and decide to take my leave. Before leaving I put a protective barrier around the random rock and the Shadey Tree and then saunter off into the night-furious*

*Now that I'm "solid" I waist no time in changing to my dragon form. I spring easily to the top of a tree, before leaping into the air*

Keeper, I'm allright, and believe me, if I can't heal this, no one cans. My ice clan healers are the best in Dragnix, and I learned their ways. Now about this thing, fight or flee?

flee, definitly flee their is nothing worse then half formed, darkness sucking, power hungry, old as time dragon. that aparently can escape the most intragitive lock spells know to dragnixians. now lets get out of here before he gets up! i have the time machine that will one; help us regain our training, and two get us some help with the egg. the egg semes to bond to someone, and since im the one carring it, it semes to have bonded to me. *speakes softly to the egg* alright shappira were getting out of here, dont get so jumpy. *back at hyozanaryu* its almost time.

You mean she's about to hatch??? Ok haw fast can we go to Shadow? Keeper, you in front, if Shanthy attacks once more, we'll protect you and sapphira (or die one by one, whatever. Don't think about that)! Just one thing that might slow me down is this *points at the scar, which opened again, now showing green pus dripping* Woops seems like regenerating poison..

yes but we wont have to go to Shadows anymore its too late for that. we'll just find out what kind of dragon she is when she hatches. we need to get to a safe spot so we can all get better, and here hyozanryu *hands him anti poison from a rare plant that grows only in the forbidin lands* this should help, just wrap the scar in cotton with the anti poison on it and it should heal in about the time we get to saefty. quick lets get out of here! *flys north east to a secreat cove*

* follows the flying grouping keeping a wary eye on them to keep track, but I focus more attention on Shantarano who is seeming to follow us. Quietly without detection i blend in with the shadows and stare back at the approaching beast*

(*mind speaking to catc* meet us at the cliffs near the forbidin lands it should be north east from here, dont try to mess with him he probable allready knows that you are there.

*My body completely darkens to black, the only other colouring being my red feathers ( Red is nearly impossible to see in the dark C; ) and my eyes turn completely black, this time with blue pupils. I stop flying, hovering in the air watching Shantarano with my hunter sight(hunter sight is something like heat vision, except it senses soul energy instead of heat. everything is in shades of blue black, and creatures, spirits, people etc glow white)* Get the egg to saftey, we'll distract Shantarano... and don't worry, we wont directly engage in battle

*looks up towards where silveera is a smiles up breifly and then continues to stare at the approaching beast, and getting puffier by the minute* Don't worry about me I'll be there terectly, tis my nature to be curious and such

Come on keeper, let's go and tell Sapphira to hold on 'cause this won't be an easy flight *dodges a shadow bolt fired by Shantarano*

way ahead of you *zooms past hyozanryu* shes allready jumpy. (since my computer cant italicise i'll use parintises) *(see you all at the cliff)*

(to italisize you put [ i] without the space adn to end it you put [/ i] without the space)

we'll meet you guys at the cliffs lets go hyozanryu before its too late!

*My teeth bared in a snarl, flickering shadow seams to dance in my semi-parted jaws as a ball of seething black fire builds. Gathering my neck muscles I fire the searing black flames at Shantarano, azure and violet sparks trail behind like a comet tail as it slams into the half corporeal head of the shadow dragon*

*breaks from the shadows and sands my ground as Silveeras blast hits him and sends out an icy beam that shoots out shards harder than diamonds and they rocket through the distance, some splintering through trees and then hit him across the face*

it would be so hard for this one to get up should it fall forward. lol.

*flys with hyozanryu at my left side hard north-east twoard the cliffs* hey hyozanryu do you know what to do during a dragon hatching? because if niether of us do then were screwed. *mumbles to my self* (we should of at least had one of the girls with, us they might of known what to do)

beautiful. im very depressed the only guy i ever rlly loved just dumped me...i wanna cry but to meny ppls

OC: awwwww tia I am sorry *huggles* want me to go and beat them up and get a mob with pitchforks and the works and demand their torture? *supertight hug* IC: *dodges a blast of dark matter energy the beast shoots out, but barely the heat and cold mixed swirl past*

we can always get everybody from this site to help you. duck catc hurry!

*hunches down a little and turns to watch teh dark matter and faces the beast again and prepares to fight some more*

@Tiamal: aww I'm so sorry for you.. Wish i could do something about it.. Or maybe.. Is the torturing relevant? @Keeper: Ow we have a serious problem, 'cause the only dragon hatch I saw from closeby was my own..

@hyozanryu: so do you remember anything? (we need help with the hatching, can one of you girls get over here and help?) we need to find a shaddy spot, shappira cant wait any longer, she wants to see the world.

... I can't really help with that ^^' I didn't hatch from an egg, my people are born in elven form...... *I do a complex manouver and slash my tail spikes across Shantarano's flank, drawing his attention and blasts of energy away from catc*

lol and i didn;t either sorry just go with your instinct. I am part cat.... *swiftly moves in and goes to his blind side and throws diamond ice crystal shards at his underbelly*

well that means its just you and hyozanryu and ive only seen dragon births from a few feet away. all i know is to have a towel, a shaddy spot, and water.

well I do believe also have a slightly warm place... If you want to the Shadey Tree has all that stuff, but I dunno if you want to circle back.... or have time to.

Ok keeper let's do this (or at least try)! Just for the record, I won't be on the next week (computer punishment by parents), so bye for a while..

well actualy i do know where to go, but im gonna need help in doing this, and i dont think i have the time to go back, shes getting really jumpy. *mutters to myself* ha found it, the perfect spot *flys around a big oak tree and lands in a small hole under the biggest root.*

*was sleeping under teh oak tree and wakes up with surprise* whoah, whats going on?!!! wait is that a dragon egg?????? *quickly sees what going on and decides to help with the dragon hatching before helping out catc and the others* dragon hatchings are tricky, we must keep the egg as warm as possible!!! *privately reminds self to NEVER sleep under this oak tree for so long again*

@LOM:whoah what are you doing here? yes and, thanks for the help, btw her name is Sahppira. *(to sahppira) ok i've got help so i wont fail at this, can you hold on for a little bit longer? please?) ok what do we do first she can't wait any longer.

why?

*starts to breath super heated breath on the egg* *(to sahppira)* is this to hot or is it fine?

*comes through a rip in space and time gets ticked off at keeper and puts his dragon soul into poke'ball.*

*magicly reapears in front of Shadow* DONT EVER DO THAT AGAIN, why dont you do that to Shantarano then everything will be fine. *starts to blow super heated breath on Sahppira's egg again* and for your information you are supposed to do this to almost hatched eggs. *nezer flys around shadows head and notes how big his head is.*

*turns into true form a silver dragon with golden eyes and a black spine* I wont do that again, but get nezer away * melts into the shadows*.

i don't control him, he does what he wants and i just give him pointers. *sees a crack in the egg* OK you guys get ready, shes about to come out!

*first thing Sapphira sees is keeper and runs toward him* Nice.* I say as I melt out of the shadows* I wish keeper would turn back to a regular dragon, not that dragon/wolf hybrid *

*changes form to a human/dragon and cradels Sahppira with Nezerr on my sholder* well this is exciting, we have a newborn baby dragon that needs training and a half desolved dragon out side trying to kill us. lets finish this! *starts to walk twoard the opening of the hole to fight Shantarano.*

Um weren't you saying that he's too strong? Naah, whatever. I mean, we're with nine now *forgets Sapphira just hatched* - yeah actually, can she fight already? I mean, she's pretty powerful, that's sure..

*flies ou to hole and says over shoulder* dont u dare let that baby dragon out of here!!! don't you know that the first few huors of it life are the most important!!! Keeper keep tallking to Sahppira, and dont leave until ur sure u hav a strong enough bond with her. Then u can come help us, but u better not let her get hurt!! *looks at hyozanryu and smiles* doesn't matter how strong an object or opponent is, my tail can cut through anything!!! even shadows

*stops moving to the entrance* yes im shure she has a strong enough bond, but shes not actualy doing the fighting i am. she told me that a voice told her a spell that she has been hering in her head ever since you found her *points to hyozanryu* it said "you are the chosen one with a mentor/helper that will help you defeat the most powerful enemy of all. the one that carries you to your birth and knows your name tell him this "you must find the light inside that never goes out and progect that on to the enemy"" that is why we must fight him now for i believe that depicts me for i am a light dragon. *reconferms my statement by letting Sapphira prove it*

let him do it, you never know it might just work.

ya; what, _you know who, said lets just see if it will work *floats twoard the entrance briskly and yells * je de'teste Shantarano. *light starts to pour out of my being* Tu aimes Shantarano? *blinding light is every where* nous parler anglais? oui? *a solid pure white light bursts out of my chest and shoots straight up into the sky* THIS IS WHAT YOU DESERVE!!! YOU MONSTER!!! *shoots the light at Shantanaraou in the distance.* direct hit *falls face first in to the dirt with Sapphira on top of me and looking conserned, my entire body is briliantly wihte and smokeing.... i dont move*

*I land akwardly near keeper, there is a gash in my left shoulder and a smouldering burn across my wing from one of Shantarano's last attacks. Slick silver-black blodd coats my leg and side* *I slump to the ground, exhausted. some of the rocks beneath me begin to smoke where my blood lands on them*

*starts to heal Silveera's left shoulder and Keeper

*comes to* whhaa... hhaapppeennneeedd? i feel dizzy, *gasp* silveera what happened? *looks at my still smoldering body and silveera's left sholder, then every one else in the goup.* what happened? *sits up and notice that the front of my clothes have burned off, quickly hides myself until presentable (changes form)* *Sappihra gleefuly flys around my head then lands on my sholuder.* so how bout we get out of here as soon as we all get healed? Nezerr you help hyozanryu.

*As hyozanryu starts to heal my wounds, i snarl in alarm and spring away* Don't try to heal me with magic, it won't do anything but cause me more pain *I sink to the ground again, rolling to my side and holding my wing out akwardly. There is a dark aura around the edges of the burns, as if Shantarano's fire is still burning within them. The gash looks as though it has a strange infection, the flesh has a sickly purple/red look and the blood dosn't seem to be clotting*

quick let Nezerr help he's good with non magic healings. *starts to take herbs out of my hollows for Nezerr* wow that light thing really did some wierd things to me i dont feel the same. *sudenly i start shudering and colaspse in a heap, like i got eletricuted, the two smallest dragons get to me first to see what was wrong* the light within me is still there but i am not alone in this body anymore

--you mean like, a part of Shantarano was transferred to you?? That'd be dangerous...-- Sorry Silveera, I should've know that.. Keeper, i have a little question.. You said Sapphira posseses all elements equally. But when I found her, her egg felt like snow and she was cold like ice (felt quite comfortable for me) and Silveera said that the egg had an atmosphere of ice-magic around it.. What does it means, do you know? Maybe she should first learn the element of Ice? I could teach her that one!

well no Shantarano was not transfered to me, it feels like something of a higher presence. Sapphira does posses all equaly but she can choose what she looks like and what she feels like. she wants to have the ice emphisised in her being right now. thas why she has the name Sapphira she likes the color blue and sapphires.

*dashes towards Shantarano in full dark mode and slashes his legs and leaps up eyes blazing and shoot out with ice shards at his tender under neck region. As I momentarily and quickly turn to aim another shot I make eye contact with his seemingly endless dark eyes-empty eyes- and stand tranfixed my eyes glazing over*

what are you doing *run to cat and grab her and half fly half run back the oak* smell this.*puts a powerful spice in front of her nose.* this should help.

*is a paler black and feels the pull towards the beast. My fur become a paler and paler black and my paws a brighter white*

*until I become the palest of grays and a mist leaves my fur and heads directly towards Shantarano*

NO CATC! we cant lose you *picks her up and goes deep in to the roots of the oak* come on smell it *sticks the spice in front of her nose a again* nezerr come here, i need your help. i need everyones help. i need you to breath this in or you'll be banished to the abyse, and i cant see that happen to you

COME ON CATC, SMELL IT!! There's no way you're going to that creep!! (Totally off the record, but I've got a little prequel drawing on this all: my newest drawing was made about Sapphira)

this isnt going to be good unless she smells it wich is why i need to get more of this spice so the smell intensifies and then she'll have to smell it. i need two of you to go out into the forest and find more of it it should grow under ferns and vines next to a dogwood tree.

*stirs a bit. The icey mist freezes the grass as it passes over it and slowly wraps around trees and swirls around Shantarano's feet freezing them. The mist after a minute of swirling at his feet glides to a frozen tree and takes the form of a large all white cat and stares right at the beast* (kinda like this >^O.O^< ) lol OOC: Awesome hyzanryu can't wait to see them

YES! she smells it! now all that has to happen is the spice must take effect. then she will be free. *starts to turn twoards the oppening of the roots, looks around to see if any one is paying there mind to the injured catc in the corner* well i feel akward and thats not a good thing for me.
