*leaps to the ground, dodging a branch thats about to grab me* *my eyes glow orange for a second, giving me an extra burst of speed*

*one branch wraps around figure's ankle, not letting go*

*leaps for figure*

no! *burns the branch, then runs faster. my dragon wings burst from my shoulders, and i leap into the air, circling above the trees. i fly off* *a few minutes later, i land next to a stream, and my wings disappear*

?!?!?!? *hits the ground* dang it! *turns to dragon form, flying after figure*

*stares in amazement* where did it go? did you see those wings? WOW!!

*i kneel next to the stream, drinking from it, feeling refreshed from the cool water* oh god... *i sigh*

*lands on ground, searching for figure* *spots figure near stream: i roar loudly and charge for it*

Deren. . . the stranger ate those apples, almost a split second after I finished coating them with a slow-acting sleeping potion. No eat!!

*doesnt hear anything* i should of payed more attention in gym... *gets up, stick in hand*

*puts claws to the ground, feeling for vibrations* dont move a muscle!

*roars loudly and charges for figure, leaping through the air*

Why? *stands completely still*

*dodges into the forest, running* *i feel slightly sleepy* this is no time for sleep! *shakes my head, and continues running*

*leaps through the air, snapping my wings open* *i quickly gain ground on the figure*

*rears up and roars* i shouldnt have licked... that... ap... *colapses* *snores loudly* (i was trying to feel vibrations in the earth)

*my eyes glow orange, and i run into a more sheltered part of the forest where the trees are so close together hardly any light shines through*

*growls, turning to human form and running* *yells* IM COMING FOR YOU! *sprints faster*

*mutters* ya, that really helps *does my best to stay awake, and sprints off, knocking down branches to block my path*

*i throw one of my daggers, burying it in the trunk of a tree next to the figure's head*

holy crap.... *weaves through the trees, getting slightly slower*

*pulls dagger from tree and glares through trees* *chunks another dagger: it hisses as it flies right by the figure's side*

*barely dodges it. i sprint even faster* *after a few minutes, im slowed down to a jog. my eyes are drooping* gotta... stay... awake...

STOP!!! *flies in front of Tiamat and glares at Dspice* This is n't helping!

*retreives dagger* i know it isnt helping, but i want to find out who that is!!

*snores again* *earth vibrates*

*my face is hidden in shadow. my wings burst from my shoulders again and i leap through the trees, startling the birds roosted there* *i fly off, straining for distance*

*trips both Tiamat and Dspice w/ tail* ENOUGH!!

hey! *glares at dragonness* what was that for?! *sees figure flying off* *growls, turning to dragon form* *leaps into the air, flying towards figure*

*i fly off. i get slower and slower, until i descend through the treetops. i land, and my wings disappear again* too... tired... *collapses, fast alseep*

*flies after Dragonspice* YOU WERE THROWING DAGGERS AT IT!!! IT HASN'T DONE ANYTHING TO YOU, AND YOU TRY TO MAIM IT!!! That's what!

*ignores dragonness* *lands, turning to human form* *sees figure lying on the ground asleep* *walks toward it, bending down* ......... TIAMAT?!

*is asleep*

*glances at Tiamat, and glares at Dspice* You see?! *flies away, boiling mad*

*slaps face, sighing* i cant believe it... i just cant believe it... alright dragonness, i get it. hey, where are you going now?!!

*a few minutes later, i stagger up right, barely awake, and jog away, my eyes glowing orange*

*perches on a tree branch and stares down at Dspice* No where.

*glances towards tiamat* oh no you dont! *sprints after tiamat, grabbing her shirt* you're not going anywhere!

*im barely conscious. my shirt rips, and i continue to jog away*

*is still asleep*

GAH!! *wraps vines around tiamat's legs and arms* *i tie her to a tree*

*flies in front of Dspice* Cut it out! When I first arrived, you said you only wanted to find out who she was! Now you know; leave her alone!

*falls asleep against the tree, my muscles relaxing*

*squrrel pops up and chitters angrilly*

*glares at dragonness* i know who she is now, and if you want her to run off to who-knows where, that's your problem. i want to make sure she wont go running off the side of a cliff somewhere, alright?

Don't you trust her to take care of herself? *glances briefly at the squirrel*

*sighs in my sleep*

not when she's half conscious! i bet she doesn't even know what she's doing! *pokes tiamat with my finger, trying to wake her*

*my eyes glow orange again. claws appear on one of my hands, and they slice at the vines* *i run off again, still asleep. i manuver easily through the trees, even though my eyes are half open*

Fine. Whatever. *reaches into my herb satchel and whips out wormwood* Here. I only used a minor amount of foxglove in the apples. This will revive her.

oh gawd... *slaps face, sighing* *i take off after tiamat* keepthat for later, dragonness...

*SNORE* *wiggles uncomfortably in sleep*

*thinks* i wonder where we left deren... dragonness, why dont you go find deren and i'll handle tiamat...

*a few minutes later, the sleeping potion wears off* *i stumble against a trunk, blinking suprisedly* what am i doing here? did they find me? *looks around*

*is right behind tiamat* yes we found you...

*starts to wander off in sleep*

crap... *runs off again*

GAH!!! *wraps vines around tiamat's middle, lifting her in the air* why do you keep running from me?!

*flies infront of Tiamat, effectively blocking her way* Why run? We mean you no harm. . . *glares back at Dspice, remembering the knives*

wuts up peoples!

*shrugs and lets tiamat go* whatever...

*appears in the middle of the forest, alone* *i take a brilliant red gem from my pocket. its about 4 inches long, and 3 inches wide* luckily they didnt find this...

*continues wandering* *eats 20 apples while still sleeping*

*flies down and glomps babyd* Sorry I had to leave earlier today. . .

hey! guess what! i can do 15 push-ups! *flexes* i'm so strong!

*pockets the stone, and walks off*

(ooo i luffs your profile babydrgn! yays!) *shifts weight from side to side, looking for something interesting to... um, look at*

*jumps onto deren* get up lazy butt! (thanks dspice did it last night at 12:00 xD)

*walks off in other direction, pulling off leaves once in a while, kicking a stone here and there*

*i walk to the stream and drink from it, confident im not being followed* *i take the gem out of my pocket again, and whisper something...*

o' are we all just wandering arround? the joy! *wanders too*

*picks up a rock and throws it, hitting a squirrel* *the squirrel chatters at me and throws acorns* *turns around and runs*

YAYS!! I've already got a xmas present for all of youse! Even Tia!

haha! *randomly pops up next to tiamat* whutcha doing? @dragonness- a present for me?!?! YAY!! i want it now!

*the gem glows, and a burst of red light fills the forest* um babyd! uh hi! *pockets the stone quickly* i was... uh... chasing a frog! ^^; BYE! *runs off*

*is still asleep* *sharp rocks randomly pop up everywhere*

*trips and falls into a hole* -_- ergh... *the hole is deep and i cant climb out* *the squirrel stands over the hole laughing at me* ooo, i'll give you something to laugh at in a minute!! *sees red light* ????

(oooo a present! ^^ ) *runs*

hmm...a frog? *tilts head curiously* *pokes head over the hole and laughs at dspice* haha!

*turns to dragon form and roars loudly at squirrel who nearly has a heart attack* *i leap out of the hole, turn back to human form, and start walking in random direction* yeah babydrgn, you think it's so funny... you try getting stuck in there and having a furry nut-searcher laughing at you... -_-

Kills baby bruddeers -_-

*stops in a small clearing* *i pull out the gem. it glows brightly*

@dspice- squirrles luv me! *pops up next to tiamat again* wuts that shiny thing? *points at the gem*

*continues walking, climbing over fallen trees and stepping over holes* so... bored... ><

*SNORE!!!* *wanders near tiamat, grabes her stone and dissapears* *is still asleep*

*whacks babyd upside the head, knocking her unconscious* sorry, but that was for your own good *disappears and reappears next to deren, my eyes glowing an angry orange* youll regret that! *takes the gem back and pushes deren into the stream* *i disappear*

-_-

haha! *claps hands with pure enjoyment* bye by stone *falls over*

*sees tiamat flying off* hmm.. maybe she'll have something intersting to say.. *turns to dragon form and follows her*

*flies, then dips into the trees, returning to human form* *i pull out the gem again, and mutter something*

*drools and mummbles something then giggles softly*

*lands in bush, turning to human form* *is about to come out when i stop, smiling* *says to self* i bet she knows a secret! *watches tiamat*

*without looking up, i smile* *the stone glows more strongly. i seem to be waiting for something...*

*drowns in stream*
