*I jump awake, raising my head from the table, where I'd fallen asleep. Having been woken by Catc crashing to the floor. Yawns loudly and stretches. Groaning, I rub my forehead, where there is a sizable red mark* WHy did I have to fall asleep at the table.....

*has gotten keepers equipment and was already wearing my stealth clothes (camoflauge, and cloak) and blade. Tosses klepter his claymore and heads out*

heeheehee *giggles at Silveera's red mark* Well what should we get into silveera? *has changed to my smaller cat form and perches on the window sill my tail flicking back and forth softly*

*I poke my tongue at Catc as I walk over and kneel at the window, resting my head in my palm and druming the fingers of my other hand against the timber* No idea....... *as I stare boardly out the window.... I give Catc a devious look* We could always go outside and have snowball fight >D

heeheehee that would be fun! *leaps around excitedly all happy at an idea of having some fun* ^.^

just to mess with them I throw a snowball at both of them, then melt into the shadows

*in a little babyish voice* children, now dont get in to anything, or you'll get an unplesant suprise. *straps on The Mighty Kleptor and walks out side. turns around to face the house (which from the outside looks just like the mountain). picks up three snow balls and throws one at each of them* Thats the last of what should happen with a snowball fight, 'cause i dont want snow in my house. *starts to walk off in to the woods* and try to stay inside, you need to rest. come on Shadow.

heeheehee *puts a little nowball in klepter house when he leaves just because I can >:2D and dashes outside the snowballs having missed me sine I was protected by the window glass and prances around in the snow and flinging it around everywhich way*

*Shifts to anthro form and races outside after Catc, and immediatly starts building a snow fort. Flings snowballs at catc*

i'm right next to you*moves a little and is suddenly visible.* i told you guys that i was wearing my stealth clothes as usual and i'm trained in the art of seeing without being seen. with my cloak on I can just become more or less invisible if i dont move

*morphs to anthro as well so that its a fair advantage and tries to hurry to build a fort but alas I am not as good as Silveera in makeing snow forts so bury beneath the snow and make a little tunnel hole thing, but before getting inside a snowball hits me and I fake die all drama like and as I fall I fling a snowball back*

is bored just walking and in a blast of blue fire, turns into a white arabian stallion

*melts all the snow in front of my house, and yell back* how do you like it now! heheh. Shadow can you please help me look for any remeants of Shanty. *runs to a tree in front of me and motions for Shadow to catch up* shadow look at this tree, its got black blood on it, and i dont thinks its Shanty's.

D:< *makes more snow and yells back* YOU MUNCHER! HAHAHAA! now theres more snow! *goes back to making my little fort thing. and hurls a snowball at silveera again*

*Is hit in the face by catc's snowball. Splutters. Using my wing hands, I fling back four* Take that C

*tries to dodge but then gets a full frontal assault of all four snowballs* eek! *buries beneath the snow and dissapears and mumbles jaws theme music and shuffles under the snow tail up like a shark fin* dundundundundun

*gallops over to klepter and studies the blood.* Hmm, that doesnt look like Shantanaros blood.*changes back to human/elf form and begins building something. in an instant i have a catapult that delivers a 10 pound payload of snow directly onto Catc and Silveera, then change back to horse form. notices that the scar on my shoulder appears in each of my forms.

*makes a tital wave of snow magicly over take all of them (even with Shadow right behind me) and starts to surff on it* cowabunga!! take that! oh ya and that blood belongs to a "carniese" (a goose like animal that flies in groups but has a more cat-like body, wich is a carnivor, a very violent animal)

*happily buries beneath the snow and continues my shark like attack and then I leap out of the snow pile and plummet everyone with bunches of snowballs adn dive back in gracefully in the snow all the while laughing*

*dodge all the snowballs* did anyone hear me about the carniese, its group probably got in to a fight with Shanty and drove him off. *burries every body in 10 feet of snow from the tital wave* that should get yoour attention.

*dissapears under the snow. a second later, a huge pile of snow is dumped on top of klepter through a void portal.* Did you say something Klepter C:< *is sitting in a huge snow crater, innocently brushing stray snowflakes from my wing feathers*

*sputerss and digs out of snow* ya i said that Shanty got drove off by a group of carniese. *circles Silveera in ice 5 feet high, with the top inclosed*

well thats good for us then which means more fun in the snow! *pops out from the snow and sits in the weak sun of the afternoon and then makes a snow angel*

we still need to destroy Shantanaro. *turns back to human/ elf form and draws Long Bow. knocks an arrow and flips up cloak hood.* Let's go* walks off into the snow and is lost from sight*

wow hold on their, we dont even know where he went so lets not rush head first in to this, and the carniese will do some mighty fine damage to old Shanty. *nezerr comes out with Shappira right behind him, looks around and sarts to grumble* yes nezerr you can join in to just one thing, your on my team. *hurl a snowball at the lounging catc.*

*ignores klepter and continues onward.* I'm tired of this. if we can get him right now, when he's weak, we can catch him by surprise. I can follow the blood trail . I'm going to get him whether you guys come with me or not. * casts a dark eye on klepter* and if you try to stop me I'll just fight you off and continue onward. this time, i'm going to get my revenge for destroying my home at Galifrae

oh not that again, forget it Shadow, and if so how are you going to do it? hes impervious to any mele attack, poison attack, darkeness attack, ice attack, and fire attack. so plese tell me how are you going to do it.

you forgot 1 elemental power that all share equally. Spirit. And if you know what your doing, it will break through any ward. i'll see you later. and besides, melee includes close combat. i'm going with range and spirit. I know how to combine the attacks to make a crushing blow.* continues walking, dodgeing from cover to cover. melts into the shadows*

*there is a hissing sound as a melt the ice prison. Flute flies out after nezerr and Sapphira, she lands on my shoulder, trilling in concern as Shadow dissapears over a snow drift.* *I converse for a few seconds with my dragonling in Fytherin, before sighing quiltily and trudging back inside. I emerge a few minutes later (still in anthro form) wrapped in my cloak, with sanguine slung across my back and flute still perched on my shoulder* Whilst I would greatly prefer staying and having a snowball fight, I'm inclined to agree with Shadow. We have a better chance of riding the world of Shantanaro while he is weak and injured......... And it's not right to let Shadow go alone. Even with my seal on his shoulder, he is still weak to Shantanaro's influence. If those bandages are removed, Shadow is Shanty's puppet

OOC: Could you guys give me a reference pic of each the forms you've used in this. I want to write this RP into a story so I can send it to the Dragnix writing section, and I want to do a picture to go with it C:

*change form to full dragon(notice name change)* fine i'll cover from the air, claws dont count as mele and i have light on my side. Catc are you coming? Shappira, Nezerr come here, your coming with too, just stay with me. *takes off and flys over the clear trail of blood* wow he was close to my house, a little too close.

i'll take the ground. * i turn into shadows, and run.* the oonly good thing about this shoulder wound is that the pain gets stronger as i near him. as soon as this is over, we can begin to train Sapphira.* decides he knows how to go faster and transforms into a arabian stallion, this time, as black as the night around me9 i'm assuming it's night as no one has said what time of day it is

(its dusk) *change the color of my underbelly to the color of the sky above me* is every one in en-route too the target, we should be headed north east, we ned to intersect the target before he crosses over in to the forbidin lands.

*dodges teh snowball and sighs as well and trudges after everyone switching back to my dragoncat form and stealthily trail behind keeping an eye out for things and dangers. Out from the bushes a black tuxedo cat prances out and leaps on my back and purrs a hellow to everyone* OC: Okay I'll send a pic in its the dragoncat form the original one and thenn if its easier you could just use the little cat one instead its a frosty white with pla blue eyes and a ruby spot on its chest amd a fluffeh tail. I can send a pic in too if that would be better silveera

yo Catc, whats with the tuxedo cat? is he with us? *circles above catc and waits for her to respond.*

Yes he is a long time friend of mine from my childhood quite some time ago. Not to worry he can be trusted OOC: Hey tempest I have noticed lately that the confirmation codes are getting harder to read but that may just be me

ok thats good to know, *swoops low to get a good look* i was about to fry him. (i also seem to be haveing a hard time reading the codes)

and he would have killed you before you even tried. He is quite powerful from the stars themselves. He is thousands of years old while I am only a few hundred. *stops when i hear a noise to my sharp left and puff up, the tuxedo's ears perking as well* Did you hear that?

*swoop over the spot they heard something* that did sound unfriendly.

*crouches down as the tuxedo leaps off my back and then creep upon the spot ninja like and eyes focused on the spot of mystery*

do you want me to just blast the spot with my fire? its very efective.

*flicks ears and pushes the grass and leaves back and sees......... nothing* hmph theres nothing here.... it was probably a chipmunk or squirriel or something

*sences the surrounding area and picks up four heat signatures* four, why four there's only....catc watch out!!!! *blasts a wave of fire around the two unknow heat signatures* catc dont worry about the fire, it wont hurt you, you can pass freely through it, but i cant say the same thing about the two unknow visitors.

*ducks and whirls about in massive puffage mode and hisses at teh intruders behind the flame* Who are you and why are you following us, if I may implore?

*draws sanguine, taking a ready stance behind catc*

maybe you should face them, to see who it is *swoops low and blasts another volly of fire to the inferno* and isint it ironic how right when your cat friend showed up, so did they?

Don't go blaming him he;s been following us since the beginning. where ever I am he is therem think of it as a guardian *the tuxedo from a distance away hisses at Klepter* I wait for the flames to die down to pounce to get a feel of the intruders*

Give them a chance to show themselves keeper, you don't know if they are friendly or not

whow, im not blaming anyone, im just noticing small detaills, and you dont need to worry about the fire, it doesnt affect you or anyone in our party for that matter. *grins at the tuxedo cat as i swoop by* and i thought he was on our side. and i just might do that.

lol he is tochy and untrusting of anyone else so whatever side I'm on, he's on n.n *the shapes of the intruders start to take shape and they ar strange black creatures of about the size of a squirriel with lime green eyes and giant ears like a rabbits and a long whiplike tail, the fire seems to not bother them and after they look at each of us they stand*

*I watch the creatures warily, leting sanguine drop to my side, but not loosening my grip*

that are they? and how doesnt my fire affect them at all? and if so why didnt they just walk out?

Maybe they thought we would attack them?

*after a few long excructiating seconds they walk past us all like ghosts and just dissappear* .> okay that was weird (lol i just wrote that off the top of my head XDD I haven't the slightest clue what they are perhaps just lost wandering spirits or are they??? )

well maybe they should say something. they look tastey...oh no forget that, its my belly talking! and i cant eat ghosts!

*rolls eyes. digging through the pocket in my cloak I pull out an ornate flask, filled with deep red liquid* If you want, you can have some of this. It's called nathrak dirge

*turns back to human elf form and takes a closer look at the creatures.* hmm. they seem to be sontarans. they're quite friendly and were quite populous on my home planet, Galifrae. i knew that they lived on other planets but not here on dragnix. however they do quite well as healers and would be valuable to take with us. i'll see if theyll come with us.*changes into a dragon and starts talking*mo sho lo to cal vil fi sho. baba cabba lotta. jo? to (that means healers of galifrae. will you come with us . really. thanks) theyre language is really hard to understand and as the last dragon from galifrae remaining i'm the only person who can translate for them[\]

*swoops down and lands near Silveera. changes to human form* ok, but what does it do? *takes flask* is that so Shadow, i thought they were spies for Shanty.

I wonder what they wanted *notices a small something gleaming under our feet, one thing under one of our feet ( paws, claws, whichever) with strange symbols on them* Silveera do you know what these are? Or waht they say on them?

It's a mixture of herbs, it revitalises the blood and gives you more energy than any food

*lifts foot so silveera can see* ok *takes a drink from the flask*

*I kneel down, examining the symbols* The runes are very ancient, similar to the ones I was taught but in a strange language. I'm not entirely sure about the objects though *picking one up from the snow, it appears to be an oddly shaped ammulet, attached to a heavy chain*

i told you guys i knew them. they will be an asset to take with us. they know stealth so lets move. wait i recognize that symbol. that was the sign of the rulers of Galifrae.

*examining the amulet closely, it appears to be a piece of a larger object*

i dont understand how that could be. the only remaining piece of the galifrae amulets is this* changes into human elf form and takes off an amulet from my neck. its an exact match

hmmm what a strange thing do you think the Sontarans left them? Shadow can you ask them if they left these things here? Its kind of odd that they appearred out of no where and all.... after all they could be dangerous..... (OOC: Well I must be off to bed for work starts bright and early a 7 -.-

Shadow, we cant take them with us, their ghosts, we cant touch them or talk to them. and how did you get that, if they just left us one?

(ooc: Bye catc *hugs*) Maybe you weren't always the last dragon from Galifae?

oh yeah watch * yells out in sontanaran* oray, vashca nadari.* the sonatarans become solid.* they were trapped by Shantanaro in shadow form. they are not ghosts they were stuck in a prison that only words of their language could break. they couldnt speak the words themselves

or Shanty didnt totally destroy Galifae. and if he did destroy it, why did he leave them alive? *points at the Sontarans (which are solid)*

Galifrae was destroyed and everyone but me with it. my time traveling abilitys hadnt developed yet so my parents told me that if something were to ever happen to just hit a button on a tempus machina and it would take me to safety. when Shantanaro realized he couldnt take over Galifrae he used most of his power to destroy the sun. If he couldnt have time travelers for his armies, then nobody could. I saw the sun turn into a supernova and hit the button on the tempus machina. I saw my parents turn into dust. the sontarans were already shadows. for the last 6 years ive crossed galaxys looking for others. there were no survivors but me. as for the amulet, that belonged to every descendant of Sham, the first ruler of Galifrae. however, i dont understand the writing. i dont remeber the whole galifraen alphabet, but who can blame me, i was only 3 when i left

how many tempus machina's were their, and did the sontarans survive or didnt they? how did you and those two sontarans get the same amulet, well the same looking amulet?

i dont remember. they more or less made themso there had to be at least 100. as for the sontarans, as a shadow, they werent affected by the supernova and the force of the explosion must have blown them here. but the amulet must have been from one of the other galifraens.* the sontarans hold out the amulet and i take it.* odd. the chain is made of imperal silver,. Thats rare stuff. Of couse, i found quite a bit. *pulls up shirt and reveals a chain mail shirt.* this stuff is unpenatraitable and cant be destroyed once forged* the chain on my amulet is made of the same stuff.* tosses the extra amulet to klepter* take care of that would ya?

Well that is quite fascinating.... Hmmm perhaps the Sontarans were friends of the other Galifrae and these are their amulets, but why they would bring them here I haven't the slightest idea... *I hole up the one up from under my foot and its a coppery one*

thanks Shad, *catches the amulet. puts it around my neck over my shirt* whats this suposed to do?

well, i'm not sure, but i could feel shadow magic (ugh, i hate magic) so it should protect you from other shadow magic like shantanaro. its not full protection but the wounds he gives you wont make you become his puppet. unfortunatly, mine doesnt have any magic in it

ok so i think thats kinda good. *picks up the amulet under my foot* hey Shad, this one looks like it would match the one you just gave me. *takes off the other amulet*

so whats this copery one for? *peers at it cloesly and nudges it with my paw, goes to put it around my paw since it is on such a small chain*

hey klepter,let me see bothof those.*takes both of them and shoves the amulets toghether. the meld to form a new shape*

cool, but you dont got to be so grabby. *rubs the back of my head and looks off in the dirrection of catc nudging her amulet* so Shad, now what does it do?

i have no idea. i just knew that they fit toghether.Oh well. were wasting time. we need to go* hears a distant roar.* i have a feeling the final battle is upon us. *Draws Arwen.*

*puts the amulet on and stands at a ready stance and prepares for battle*

yo Shad, atleast let me wear the new amulet! *slowly starts to change form* so i can see what it does in battle. *phantomises* oh yea i forgot i could do this.

klepter, call Sapphira, nezer, and flute. We need all the help we can get.* wonders where is Tempest and Hyo* tosses klepter the amulet

OOC: tempest is the awesome ruler of dragnix They keep the works running but I don;t recall them ever engaging in rp's but you never know* IC: *clinches claws into the ground in anticipation*

calls out brisingr and my blade is covered in blue fire. the blade itself is white hot as shantanaro is near. * d'varit, of all the time for my shoulder to be bothering me, now is not the time.

*solidifys and catches the amulet and puts it on* nezerr and shappira are right here, but as for flute, thats Silveera's deal *phantomiese nezerr ans shappira. then changes to full dragon form* lets make this quick, im tierd of this little charedes. *roars myself and faces where shany is*

*yells out: for Galifrae and charges, delivering a full force blow to his neck. however, Shantanaro is not majorly wounded..

Indeed! I too am wary of these games >:2D *crouches down and stares in the direction of Shanty and waits ever so patient for the pounce*

is batted aside by shantys claws and is happy for my mithiril armor. OOC: gotta go. see ya tomorrow. Packers are going to win

how the...*takes to the air a second before a blast from Shanty hits the ground where i was just standing* its not possible to heal that fast. is it? OOC: k see ya, hope we see each othe at a superbowl party.

OOC: :p nuh uh Steelers are gonna when *is in Steelers country XDD* IC: It apparently is possible, he must be more powerful than we imagined O.O *pounces up and arches in mid air to come down on his snout and slashes at his face before being battered aside by his massive claws and I skid to a nearby tree in a cloud of grass leaves and dirt*

*flys full force at the opening that catc created and smash sholder first (like a football player) into Shnaty's chest while blasting him with a wall of fire* hooraww!!! *swoop up right before i smash Shanty and i into a tree*

*gets up from the ground and watches as keeper flies at shanty and take a running leap at the fallen Shanty and jump on his back and hold on for dear life like a bull rider and slash him with my tail blade*

yo catc dont get near his claws!! *circles around and blasts a wave of fire on Shanty's underbelly* dont you see the poison dripping from them!?! *swoops down and takes a bit out of his tail*

better watch though his blood may be poisoned too! *is thrown into the air after loosing my grip and land on my feet feeling a little wave of exhustion sweep over me, but it is gone in a few seconds*

*spits out the chunk of Shanty's tail* hey, wheres your cat friend, shadow, silveera, hyo, those sontarans, and flute? i thought they were right behind us. *takes off right as Shanty swipes at me with is claws* WOW dont want to get hit by those!

I haven't the slightest clue . they should be here soon OOC: i am out and off to bed for work comes early once more...darn superbowl fanatics -.-

OOC: opps sorry for keeping you up, see ya! *circles around and waits for my next opening* this is taking to long, i dont like it anymore. *charges right at Shanty, (at the completly wrong moment) and runs right into his extended forarm, further more, on to his extended claw.* oh snap...i didnt see that coming. *yankes myself off his claw and thrusts my mouth at his neck, gets a chunk, twists my head to the side and yanks up, pulling Shanty's head with me. Shanty's body collapses in a heap. as i dig out his heart i start to loss energy, i burn his heart then i fly back to my house with every ounce of strengh left in me, i make it but over shoot and land in my trap off to the left side of my house.* crap! i figured it all out....no one was there to back me up....because there couldnt be any one....all because of two people....too bad nezerr and sapphira didnt unleash their power....then it would of been different....*blacks out* i hope someone fides me and just finnishes me off, so i dont have to die by the wound

*Was running behind Catc, when a wave of unbeareble pain swept through my body. Curled up on the ground in the fetal position, there is a deep hissing voice in my head. Though I don't understand the words, I know that shantanaro is trying to take control. I struggle to fight off his influence. Suddenly from some dark corner of my mind there is a wave of fury, and the sound of clanking chains. Shathra forces Shanty from my mind, with an enraged cry* MINE! *black fire engulfs my body, and I get to my feet. Running at Shantanaro, I drop to all fours, my body morphs to my dragon form. My body is pure black, streaked with blood red, and I am near twice my normal size. My horns and spikes are longer and sharper, and my eyes are a glowing, pupiless red. With an unearthly shriek of a roar, I take a flying leap at Shantanaro, crashing into his left shoulder and sending us both careening through the trees, snarling a tearing flesh from each others hides. We crash over a small cliff, I land on my underside, with Shantanaro on my back tearing and breaking my right wing. I roll, aiming a punch to his jaw and nocking him to the side.*

OOC: sorry to break it to you silveera but unless Shanty can reincarnate i dont think that can happen.
