The Dragons Guards

[LittleSprite2]

Celia was happy she had regained her lords trust if not yet his faith in her abilitys, but that would come with time.. It started to rain when her lord moved closer too her extending his wing over her for shelter.. all her life she had served him and the idea of changing that scared her.. what would she have done where would she go.. this was all she did know.

My lord if you would shrink your size i am afraid my home was made a bit of a mess by the fight with Hark, but your welcome to come in if you like while i began putting things in order,unless you would prefer your human form to this one in such a small area.... Being a golden Dragon he had both his dragon form and his human form

So, so good, Hark's mind decended into a mild europia whale still remaining partally in realty. There was something about her blood, something that struke the core of this new body. Yet, the other part of his mind, the one that was still concious, could feel her unease. "Do not worry, my child. All is well." Using his wings in a most undignified yet ingenious fashion, he managed to lift her back onto his back. "I will carry you back home. We have much to speak of, you and I."

As he plooded along the last few miles, he contined his conversation. "You see, my child, I have thought of all of you over these many years, and it has occured to me that, as my servents, I should take more intrest each of your individual needs. You are my children and therefor under my protection as much as I am under yours."

 

[LittleSprite2]

this is true.. but there has been little need until now we were all of us content and safe.. she said as he carried her once more upon his back up to her home.. when they reached the entrance and he allowed her to get down she said.. I will go ahead and start cleaning up if you would like to hunt something down for our dinner..

 

[swordandsandle]

"It would be my pleasure," Hark set her down gentley, preparing to take flight again. "I'll be back before you know it."

In truth, Hark was a still a tad confused by this whole affair. He had always been calm, cool, collect, all the traits nessicery to be a Warlock. Yet, the taste of her blood had set off something in him; a primal force that he did not fully understand. Whatever it was, he knew that he would have to learn to control it.

He floated through the air, his mind filled with all these strange thoughts, and just let the skin's instinct take over. He was only in the air for about ten minutes when he noticed a single giant lizerd, large enough for a meal but not at it's full grown size. It diden't make a very plesent sound when he grabbed it, but a soild rattle knocked it unconcious so bloodletting could do it in.

Freya, and Roxis

Freya made her way to her home beneath the water fall, she had serched for Dea unsucessfully where ever he had gone if he still lived was a secret or if he died his body was well hidden.. she felt sad over this fact not knowing why she supposed it was due to her nature water mostly gave life but there were times if one wasnt careful and respect full that it could claim life .. it was frustrating but until she heard from Celia again she didnt want to alarm the others..

............................................

Roxis turned from his quary the girl Lilly would have to wait for another time... the earth itself brought news of strange events and of Freya's confusion... as she was closer than Celia he would travel to her first for answers.... but there were alot of violent vibrations coming from Celia's Volcano that have suddenly ended... but the land had not claimed her body so he assumed she had defeated her foe..

Sister... your confusion flows around you into the plants and earth ... speak to me.. Roxis stated calmly..

Freya turned suprised and not surpised to see Roxis stepping out from behind a tree.. he could move slow or extreamly fast as the earth, and time itself.. come inside i will tell you of my journy with a young man and what happened with Celia that i know..

Roxis followed her inside and listened as she explained everything that happened from leaving with Dea on his adventure to going to Celia's and the fight with the magic user.. taking her to safety at the castle and then receiving a message that all was well...

I dont like this .. you see my confusion.. if she is well wonderful but if not.. what if she were forced to send us that message..

Roxis nodded his understanding and sent a message to Rhys on the winds to reach his Mt layer and to Rhannon.. to join them.. they would all discuss what to do together..

 

[LittleSprite2]

Celia

Celia frowned when she saw the ruin of her cave.. all her books distroyed.. some had been non replaceable.. ahh well she had them in her memory.. she began cleaning and burning to sinders what could not be fixed cleaning up the mess..

. in short order her home was neat, tidy and warm once more.. minus a few book shelves and alot of books.. some clothing .. a chest or two.. most of everything else was safe even the bed made it thru alright

she turned to face the entrance when the sounds of her lord returning reached her ears..

Dea was now back at the lake where he meet Freya for the first time as he sat there and waited,. it seem like things was going slow and he waited day after day as rain fell hot days cold days he waited for her to come back so he can talk to her again.

(Please forgive a poor post. Mind hurting after working night shift)

Hark brought his wings in, diving towards the center of the gave with a controled grace, bringing himself back into character. He threw the lizerd into the air moments before he touched down, catching it expertly in his mouth as the dust spewed up around him.

It felt good to breath out fire; the head in his belly, the smell of charing scales and flesh, and the dripping fat running across his tounge. In no time at all, the lizerd was ready to eat, provided you weren't too picky about how exactly you ate it.

"Come, little one," he beckoned " The meal is ready."

 

[LittleSprite2]

Celia stepped forward as she was bidden joining her lord stepping from her home because it was too small for him to join her unless he took his human form.. she smiled pleased he had already done the honors of cooking there meal.. it had been a long time sence anyone had done something so simple for her..

Thank you lord... may i ask.. what do you call yourself now?? you have had many names over the centuries... i am curious.. she asked as she joined him using a simple plane cutting knife to slice off enough of the giant lizard for herself to eat leaving him the rest..

Despite the hunger that gripped him after days of fasting, Hark forced himself to pause his rapid decent into the reptile to respond. " To be frank," he mummbled through the ribbions of meat he had already taken " I have not felt much need for a name for awhile. Most creatures just scream when I encounter them. Perhaps... it is time for another. The word blaze has always appealed to me."

 

[LittleSprite2]

Celia smiled Blaze was different but who was she to judge he could be called what ever he wished.. he had been known by dream weaver, lore keeper, Ledgend seeker.. and many more.. Blaze... well she supposed it was more modern.. If that is what you wish Blaze it is then my lord.. she said as she finished eating her own bits of Lizard.. the hour was growing late the sun setting..

Celia streatched wondering if she should invite him inside again or leave him to find his own resting place.. she had already asked him inside sevral times but as he had not yet taken her up on the offer she did not want to press the issue.

 

[swordandsandle]

(for issues of simplity and continuality, Cana will be used in place of Blaze for any and all issues in my posts)

Cana had a reason for his silance.

Sitting there, swallowing the last of his lizerd, he realized that he was at a roadblock. Obviously, the dragon should have been able to turn into something smaller, since the woman was implying he could actually enter the cave. However, that's where the problem came in; he coulden't take on human shape,except for the one that now was melted into the magma.

Obviously, this would be a problem.

"Come," Cana beckoned to her when she finished eating "I think we need to speak more."

 

[LittleSprite2]

what about my lord ? Celia asked it was growing late and the last few days were taking its toll and making her want to sleep sooner than she ushually did.. she shook of the feeling of being drowsy the best she could looking up at Cana.. reolizing he ment for her to follow him she stood and did so.. where do we go now my lord ?

 

[DeaMSmith]

ooc:

so can someone update me on this thanks,

 

[LittleSprite2]

ok quick basics

Celia --- fire ability ..

thinks Hark is dead and dosent know that the dragon.. is Hark..

Freya...water ability

was looking for your char but after not being able to find any sign of him returned to her lake and home to begin gathering her brothers and sisters together to discuss what to do next..

in the mean time Celia is growing closer to the dragon.. or rather Hark with out knowing who he really is..

 

[DeaMSmith]

ooc: thanks


==========================
After some time after what had happen Dea left the castle in hopes he can find Freya and some how say sorry to her as he makes his way to her lake his body become hot and he starts to cough. he some how got a cold and is not in good shape as he made his way to the lakes edge and falls over a hand in the lake and his voice calling out to her." Fr...ey...a.." Was all he could say as he closed his eyes.

 

[LittleSprite2]

Freya heard Dea's call if he had missed the water she would not have but he had and so had her two brothers with earth and Air abilitys..

Do not kill him .. he is welcome.. and knows of us.. she told them and went with them to the lake.. they gathered him up and brought him to her cave beneath the waterfall.. sister we do not kill him at your request but he knows too much.. and thus should be.. what are your feelings and plans for this mortal ?

Freya looked at them and glared I care for him a great deal.. she was interupted by another Dose he return your feelings... and even if he dose it cannot last you know that... he is human and will grow old and die.. you would only have a few fleeting years..before he would grow to hate you for being young while he got older..

Freya wanted to tell them that they were wrong but it had happened before not only to herself but to each of them the only one who had not found love and had children or been hurt by a loved ones death had been Celia.. because she had turned her life to study as well as honing her skills..

you are correct but i would still not have him die.. we will heal him and i will try to explain... they shook there heads knowing what she was feeling and unable to help accept to offer there words of advice and let it be.. the choice in the end was hers and his..

Freya stayed up tending him and easing his illness.. while the others slept.. some how this simple farm boy ended up meaning a great deal to her.. sister you should rest.. if you tend him much more you will pass out and be of no use at all to anyone even him.. go i will call you when he wakes.. not having the energy to answer she simply nodded her head and let her brother guide her to her own room..

 

[DeaMSmith]

Just as Freya left dea tune his head a bit and moan out in pain but in a low voice as something on his arm started to light up and buns it like a hot iron bar making something as it came and go as He rest there. It was a mark of something as the blue light started to fade away and then the mark as Dea open his eyes and looked around as he slowly sat up. He didn't see well as his eyes no opening and then him trying to get out of the bed think how he got here something didn't feel right as he moved the called out" Hello, Anyone there?" He asked and then his eyes open and he saw someone and then asked" WHo are you?" he asked as his eyes became more open.

 

[swordandsandle]

Celia asked it was growing late and the last few days were taking its toll and making her want to sleep sooner than she ushually did.. she shook of the feeling of being drowsy the best she could looking up at Cana.. reolizing he ment for her to follow him she stood and did so.. where do we go now my lord ?

"Just here, my child," he beckoned to her with the tip of his wing. "As I said, I need to take more intrest in your personal welfare, which means I'm going to have to learn a bit more about you. Tell me," he lifted up his wing, allowing her to slid under. "Do you still find everything about our bond to your liking? Perhaps you find it difficult to patrol so much area, or that I have not yet told you enough about myself, or you might simply be lonly?"

 

[LittleSprite2]

Rhys of the air... watched the human Dea as he slept as his brother Roxis of the earth lead Freya away to get some rest she had tended the human non stop for the last two days and needed her rest. What was it about this human male that Freya found so interesting..

He moved to the male's side as he cryed out and muffled the sound in the air to keep it from waking Freya.. and watched with growing interest and concern as a strange glow appeared on his arm marking him with a tattoo before disapearing..

Rhys stepped back as it appeared the human would go back to sleep but insted to his suprise opened his eyes and sat up.. looking around confused before he noticed Rhys, and asked who he was...

Rhys smiled slowly and bowed at the waist but never took his eyes off of Dea... I am Rhys.. brother to Freya... Just then Roxis stepped back into the room his eyes taking everything in at a glance.. he leaned against the door way blocking the only exit and slowly crossed his arms over his chest.. Rhys smile grew into a grin as he straitened up and said.. This is our brother Roxis..

His expression grew more sereious as he continued.. Know this human... your relation ship with our sister Freya is between the two of you... but should you hurt her... you will deal with us... it is clear from the mark on your arm you have been chosen by one of the dragons for a reason... and we will help you if we are able.. but you have been warned..

He looked over to Roxis then who simply nodded his head in agreement with what Rhys had said not feeling the need to embellish in any way.. Now.. we will get you something to eat to help you regain your strength.. Freya is resting she has been tending you these last few days and is in need of rest herself..

With that He and Roxis took turns taking care of Dea's needs such as helping him to the restroom and getting him something to eat..

Rhys wispered to Roxis any idea when Rhannon will arrive? she would be the best one to tell if it is our true lord and master who is with Celia now or if she is being fooled.. Roxis shook his head not really one for words unless it was necessary..simply shurgged his sholders as if to say he wasnt sure .. but soon..

nether knew if Dea over heard this conversation or not but continued to take turns watching over him until Freya was fully rested.

 

[LittleSprite2]

"Just here, my child," he beckoned to her with the tip of his wing. "As I said, I need to take more intrest in your personal welfare, which means I'm going to have to learn a bit more about you. Tell me," he lifted up his wing, allowing her to slid under. "Do you still find everything about our bond to your liking? Perhaps you find it difficult to patrol so much area, or that I have not yet told you enough about myself, or you might simply be lonly?"

Celia moved closer to her lord and settled beneath his wing the last of his words bringing a blush to her cheeks causing her to look away from him out into the night.. Our bond has been a good one tho the one you share with our sister Rhannon has always been the strongest....

i would not change anything.. the area given me has been well guarded and protected until the Magus, there was none i or the others were unable to handle, and very few dare come near a live volcano... .. as for being lonely.. i ...yes .. i am..., but that was my own choice... my brothers and sisters have loved and lost over the years.. many have even had or sired children.... but i have not..

She slowly became aware that her hands were fisted and slowly allowed them to relax.. it was true she had seen the pain of her brothers and sisters when there loved ones died or turned from them in anger because they grew older and she and her brothers and sisters stayed young..

so she had not given it a chance even tho she did want to have a child she knew she was strong in so many ways, but she wasnt sure she was strong enough to handle a childs death or someone she loved hating her..

She looked back at her lord then and smiled it had been a long time sence seeing him last she could not remember what his human form looked like but she knew he was strong and handsome.. Just as his form now he was a very handsome and extreamly strong dragon..

 

[swordandsandle]

"Then I am content," Cana approved. "Rest, little one. We shall talk more when you have slept." He watched her slowly drift off to sleep, breathing softly and calmly. He allowed her lie there, warmed by her own heat, when something returned to the forefront of his mind; sooner or later, he was going to have to get down to her size, but she diden't trust his form and, in truth, that body was molten flesh by now. He'd have to go find somebody else, somebody who woulden't mind sitting quitly for a few hours.

He took to the skies, scanning the desolate landscape. No humanoid males; figured. No humanoids at all, really. Pushing out more energy into the muscles he wasen't used to having, he sighed. This was going to be a long flight

 

[LittleSprite2]

Celia slept comfortably even tho she was outside her cave.. her own body heat was much warmer than that of a regular human and so she was quite warm dispite being out in the open. She felt her lord leave her side and go off into the night but was unafraid knowing that he would return..

how she knew she didnt know she simply felt that he would. she readjusted turning to her other side and closed her eyes to sleep once more.. but a lighter sleep so that if any danger approched she would be ready..

 

[DeaMSmith]

nether knew if Dea over heard this conversation or not but continued to take turns watching over him until Freya was fully rested.

Dea looked away and down to the floor before saying" I have already hurt her. I think. That last time I saw her She was mad at me and more or left went some where I do not now where. How long has it been since I was all most killed on that day" Dea said as he sigh and rubbed his arm where the make was It was now gone as he looked at the two bothers and didn't know what to do.

 

[LittleSprite2]

Roxis and Rhys looked at one another and appeared to be thinking for a moment before answering Dea's question.. humm sence Freya entered the castle with Celia and left her there to search for you.... until coming here and gathering us.. to today... i would say.. a month give or take a few days.. Rhys said then Roxis actually spoke..

the first two weeks she spent looking for you leaving Celia on her own...... until she received word Celia left the castle to return to her volcano at the summons of our lord, she thought you dead because she could find no sign of where you had gone or even fought..... we do not yet know if Celia was led into a trap or if our Lord truly did arrive and finish the magus off himslef.. we wait for Rhannon to arrive..we will make further plans then..

ooc : ok i know the time frame is off a bit not quite sure how to fix it but so far Celia and Hark or Cana are still on evening One while Roxis... Dea, and everyone else is like a month a head.. some how we need to get the time frame evened back up with out ruining the storie line..
