((Post your character in the OOC companion board))
You all land in different sections of the village, but all of you know the general location of the child, regardless of your intentions, The Watchers cannot interfere in your actions, only the ones who took the mission with you...
"GET BACK HERE BASTARD ORPHAN!!" the chef yelled while waving a cleaver as Chrono, with a loaf of bread in his hand and a chicken leg in his mouth, was running away as fast as he could, ducking under carts and vaulting over passing farm animals..
-
I stay under the tree, perched on a branch. The sun blazed, as a cool breeze wisps by. My tail sways as I stay calm and glued on my target. The chefs loud shout echoes to my ears. "Found you..." I grin as I lightly drop down and approach the village.
-
Philly looked around the village trying to find the child. "Well this is my first mission and I don't plan on failing it" he said as he took off running down a street.
-
Is just running along when he runs into chrono, and the collision's loudness is enough to make they surrounded villagers jump. "Oi, watch where your going!", Shaku yelled out as he stood up. Then hears the yelling chef, and says, "Uh-oh..."
-
Chrono looks back and then at the guy he just collided into. "Sorry, trying to survive here!" *grabs a dirt clod and throws it at the chef, temporarily blinding him, then taking off again*
-
I hear the collision as I swiftly and quietly make it to the ally way that is estimated to be the child's next destination. I'm tired of the Games, child... I thought to myself as I awaited his arrival.
-
Decides to follow him for some unnatural reason that even he doesn't know. "Hey, wait up!"
-
"Damn, not another child... perhaps he will be useful for other purposes..." I said to myself quietly, hearing the footsteps near.
-
While running, Chrono sees a set of marketing carts, their heights making a crude staircase to the roofs of the village, which with the power of adrenaline, he quickly climbed up and out of the chef's reach...
-
I quickly look up, noticing the change in direction. "I'm sick of childish play..." I jump up onto the roof and see the child.
-
Philly stops suddenly as he sees the child on a roof along with another fur. "I wonder what her directive is" he said shielding his eyes from the sun with his paws.
-
Chrono stops looks at the figure on the roof "Who are you?"
-
My black cloak hid my face under the large hood. I quickly slid the hood down, as I looked at the child. "In due time..." I said before slowly walking towards him.
-
Not trusting the newcomer on the roof, her charges at her, his intention to knock her off the roof.
-
By a quickly shift of my hand the other child stops in mid air. "Don't test my young one." I said walking past him.
-
Chrono, in fear of her intentions, starts to back away, looking for an alternate route to escape to...
-
"I'm not going to hurt you. I need to ask you a few questions." I said calmly, as I stop a few feet away.
-
"What in the world?!", he says to himself as he stops dead in his tracks. "Hey!! Put me down!"
-
"You don't have to get this close to ask me!!" Chrono replied, still backing away
-
"Your right." I quickly lifted my hand as an energy bubble formed around him. "Your coming with me." I said the bubble following me with Chrono inside. After jumping off the roof, Shaku unfreezes.
-
He lands with a thud. "That was... different." He said to himself as he crawled down the roof, and followed the two strangers.
-
I sped up, hoping to lose the follower. "You are a difficult one to catch." I said to the child.
-
"What did I do wrong besides take food I needed?!" Chrono almost screamed as he tried to bash his way out of the bubble.
-
"Hey!" he shouted at the fur who created the bubble before pouncing on her. "I'd appreciate it if you'd let him go."
-
I looked behind me and smirked before dashing away. "You'll soon find out... I need to run tests first.. So if would be so kind as to simply, COOPERATE!" I said sternly. ((check OOC, I'm adding something))
-
Stepping into the Teleporter, Gabag expected to be on solid ground like everyone else. When he came out, he looked around and saw lush wide blue sky and beautiful mountain ranges.. "Soooo Serene... wait... something doen't seem right here"
Looking down, he saw there was no ground under his feet, gulping, he quickly begins falling "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" he yelled as he quickly descended to where Chrono was, and making a hole in the ground.
-
Landing with a loud crash atop the roofing of an old inn along the outskirts of town, a fire-colored dragon bounded off and stalked along the dirt road, eyes scanning for that troublesome child she'd been looking for for two days straight. He was beginning to grind on her nerves. Hearing the crashes and several shouts, she hurried toward the town, stopping just outside it to catch a witch of sorts walking out with a bubble following her. Inside the bubble lay the child.
"Ah, little one. You have been caught? What fun." She whispered, purple eyes gleaming.
-
((not a witch...))
I quickly dart ahead a few feet, then quickly vanished. "I'm sick of being followed. You seem to be wanted by many." I said my voice becoming friendly. I released the bubble after being safely hidden under the earth. "Now, Do you know who you are?" I looked at him.
-
While Pheo was hiding Chrono under ground, Gabag, ploughed into the ground at the same moment. "ahhhhhh my head... and spine....." Looking up he say Pheo and Chrono, tryng to have a conversation. "uhhhhhhh am I interrupting?"
-
((name is NIXARIA!!! sorry))
My eyes flared red as I shot the intruder above ground and sealed it back up. "Now, as I was asking..." I said looking at Chrono.
-
"I'm a human boy that likes to adventure....anything I'm missing?" Chrono replied with surprising calmness
-
Philly stopped dead in his tracks. "What the...where did they go?" he said before something huge crashed into the ground infront of him.
-
*getting shot back above ground, he hits the ground with a thud*
owwwwww
(hey Pheo, don't you think shooting me above ground, trapping people i a bubble, sealing up rock, and going underground would, ya'know tire you out, after all we're not go dmodding aren't we? *is a stinge for that ort of schmoop*)
-
I looked at him... "I don't scare you do I? Because I didn't mean to.." I looked at him. "Do you know WHO you are..." I asked, keeping my distance. "Look, I brought you down here to help you..." I said looking around.
((yea... hense why I STOPPED! quit it with the god modding... you do it sometimes too...))
-
I looked at him... "I don't scare you do I? Because I didn't mean to.." I looked at him. "Do you know WHO you are..." I asked, keeping my distance. "Look, I brought you down here to help you..." I said looking around.
((yea... hense why I STOPPED! quit it with the god modding... you do it sometimes too...))
(true but then I only god mod in fun rp and my OWN rp)
Slowly getting up to his feet, and snapping his broken arm back into place, the sound of which is very disgusting to the nearby villagers.
-
" I know who I am, and what do you mean brought down?"
-
"Oh my, well that didn't sound very pleasant at all" Philly says to the new arrival
-
"Oh my, well that didn't sound very pleasant at all" Philly says to the new arrival
"Well it's not, say who are you anyways?"
-
"Under the ground..." I looked at him, surprised. "Your not a very bright kid, are you?"
-
"I thought you meant something else....and how is a cave going to help me?"
-
"I am the great Sir Phillium and I'm here to save The boy!.......actually this is my first mission and I'm really hoping not to fail."
-
"In due time you will know. As for my name, Nixaria. I will be seeing you around more often, so don't try to run... you hear?" I smirked as I put him in a bubble yet again and appeared near Philly and the strange armored man. "Here, You can have him... I've gotten what I needed. See ya around" I said before dispersing towards the trees.
-
Still stuck in the bubble, Chrono looks around for the chef, and is still holding the surprisingly clean loaf of bread
-
"Uhhhh....Well Mission accomplished I guess! Now what do I do" he said holding the giant bubble.
-
The bubble releases as I return. "Protect him from that Dragon that was following... I don't think she means anything kind..." I warned looking at him.
-
"You hand that bubble to Gabag, or he'll take the child by force"
-
"What do you want with the kid?" he asks turning away from Gabag.
-
"To enlighten him, nothing more, nothing less...." the armored Astartes replied
-
I look at the two and quickly take the bubble and hold it next to me. "I'll take that, after all, it is mine." I smirk.
-
Chrono is still in the bubble, wondering when he can be freed....
-
Being surprisingly quiet for her size, Sahar pads over to them and licks her chops, staring at Chrono. "My, my, my little Chrono. What have you gotten yourself into, hm?" She cooed, smirking.
-
*inside the bubble* "AAAH, A DRAGON!" *outside the bubble* 'mumble!'
-
I heard a voice come from the surrounding area. "alright, lets go." I quickly released the bubble and held Chrono, as i jumped among the trees.
-
"Wait a second, wait a second! The kid is coming with me and that's final! And you can back off" he said towards the dragon. Unfortunately he wasn't paying attention whenever he was whisked away into the trees.
-
Chasing after Nix he yells "YOU ALREADY GOT TO TALK TO HIM, IT"S MY TURN NOW!"
-
I stopped quickly and looked at Chrono. "I need you to trust me..." I said my eyes showing seriousness.
-
Chrono is speechless, but his eyes portray one thing: Why me?
-
"I can't answer that now... Can you?" I looked at him, knowing I was running out of time.
-
Growling with discontent, Sahar took wing and followed Nixiria. Her scales rippled from red to yellow, glittering blindingly in the sunlight. She sent a tongue of flame toward Nixiria and swooped downward. "Let me see that child!" She roared, eyes flashing dangerously as another, thicker tongue of purple fire leaped from her mouth. Smoke curled from her nose, choking several birds up above her.
-
"I don't know what I did to attract so many people to me, is taking surplus food that serious of a crime?" Chrono asked, tears welling up in his eyes...
-
"It has nothing to do with the food, little one." I glared at the Dragon. "You really want him? Then come get him!" I dash past her and land on the ground picking up speed and quickly approach the village.
-
Roaring, she swooped even lower and spit acid at her. "Let go of him or I'll kill you both!" She hissed, slamming into, and demolishing, two poorly made houses. A castle loomed up ahead and she almost slammed into it.
-
"The DO IT!" I shouted quickly weaving in and out of ally ways.
-
All Chrono could do right now is soil himself in fear, but since he hasn't had any food or drink in two days, he can't....
-
I quickly ran into an inn holding Chrono. "Put this on.." I ordered hanging him my cloak, as I removed it.
-
He quickly puts it on, but just stands there, having no idea where to go and what to do...
-
I take him over to a booth and sit him down. and order him food.
-
Screeching to a stop just before she ran into the inn. "Damn you, witch woman!" She snarled.
-
"What is going on, and why is there alot of people after me?" Chrono asked, after gathering up alot of will...
-
Stomping into the inn, he asks "Where is the boy.... I just need a simple word with him, I promise that's it!"
-
When Philly finally reached the Inn he sidled past the dragon and into the front door of the Inn. "Now where are they at."
-
I changed the color of my fur before the others entered. "Keep quite," I whispered to Chrono. I ate my food, as Chrono's food arrived. "I'll explain when they leave."
-
Chrono quiets down as he eats...
-
walking up to the table, he takes out a poster "Have you seen this child ma'am, because I just wanted to tell him about why there's so many people hunting him and what I was going to give him as a gift for the future, but some lady ran away with him and now I can't find him."
-
Philly jumps up on Gabag's back and pushes him down to the ground out of the way. "Actually if you see the kid you should definately tell me because it is my sworn duty to Protect him from any and every danger until the age of 6."
-
throwing Philly off "But it is my sworn duty to die for the child if necessary and to possibly teach hi how to protect people!"
-
She patiently waited outside the inn, tail tip swaying, as the townspeople poked and prodded her rudely. Her claws clicked on the stone doorstep, making chime-like sounds.
-
"Well you can have him...when he's six! Until then he's mine!"
-
'When can we leave, they're scaring me more than you are...' Chrono wispered to the woman he's eating with...
-
I'm the least of your worries. Trust me kid. I mean you no harm, so there is no need to fear me. I looked at him and stood up, as I flicked my wrist, hoping that his small child like figure would seem tall to the others. "Shall we go?" I ask holding out my arm.
-
Chrono nods, but something in the back of his head is going off, like a realy tiny red flag saying Dragon outside the door!. but it was so small, it went unnoticed as Chrono took hold of her arm/
-
Feeling a change in atmosphere, Sahar lifted her head and blasted fire at the group of townspeople still poking her. "Leave me. I have work to do." She snapped, teeth dripping with saliva.
-
The cloak barely touched the floor, as Chrono appeared taller. "No walk like you normally do, this is just to keep you hidden." I whispered to him. "We must hurry though, after all of what just happened, I'm not sure how long I can hold this spell." I began walking out of the Inn, my fur a different color. Hey gray and blue fur, changed to a purple and black. As she walked out of the door she looked at Chrono, Stay calm, try not to seem nervous
-
The mental message was a bit late for Chrono, who spotted the Dragon right behind the woman, his mouth open in remote fear...
-
She laughed, blowing hot air at the black and purple fox. "You smell familiar, little one. Pray tell, did you see a little runt of a human walk into the inn with a wench of a fur?" She hissed, golden-purple eyes sparkling with mirth.
-
I looked at Chrono as soon as I felt change in his emotions. Oh god.... please don't mess this up I thought to myself.
-
Chrono soon snaps out of it and shakes his head, indicating 'no'.
-
I smiled at the dragon warmly. "What did he look like?" I asked seemingly clueless.
-
Hissing in delight, she peered closer at the second figure and poked him. "Hello, Chrono." Her head lowered to train one eye on him, sparks jumping between her teeth. "Care to come with me for a few minutes? I won't hurt you." She purred, scales clicking as she rested her head on the cold dirt.
-
He should have fainted right now, but something kept him consious, maybe it was the demeanor of the dragon, or maybe a side-effect of the other woman's spell, regardless, he dared to ask "First her, then two other guys saying something about me being protected until the age of 6, whats going on?"
-
Sensing that someone had spoken Chrono's name, Philly dashes out the door of the Inn. "Alright, where's Chrono at?"
-
I growled at the dragon, my fur changing back quickly. "Step off..." my teeth bared at her.
-
She hissed in reply. "YOU step off, witch." The dragon snapped her jaws shut next to Nixarias' face and smirked.
-
"Can we resolve this without resulting in violence?" Chrono sheepishly said, still acting on survival...
-
"Not if her intentions are to destroy you." I growled as I snapped at the dragon. I glared at her my crystal eyes turning purple. "You're not here to make buddy buddy, I sense that much..."
-
"If you are willing to accompany me to a quiet place for a little while. I would bring the wench, but she's a nuisance I'd rather not deal with." Sahar replied with a slight curl of her mouth. Her one gold eye was still trained on Chrono.
Moving her front leg, she lightly flicked Nixaria across the square. "Refrain from insulting me, it will end in your termination, harlot.
-
"There, now that a comprimise has been reached, can we move on before the other two try to join in?"
-
Stepping up to the dragon Philly said "Dragon! Please step away from the child! I will be taking him away until his sixth birthday. Then you may have him."
-
I landed lightly, "I'm the harlot?! I'd think twice about that one, lizard." I growled as I quickly reappeared in front of Chrono. "Sorry, snake, but we must be off." I quickly grabbed Chrono by the arm and ran down the road.
-
"Uhhh...Miss...I must ask you to come back this instant!" he shouted towards Nixaria.
-
Stopping quickly, I stand and stay focused on the Dragon. "Meet me else where... not here!" I shout back quickly picking up the pace yet again.
-
She turned with mild annoyance to Philly and puled her lips away from her teeth. "I would think not, child." Her tail whipped against the inn, knocking a deep hole in it as she turned around. Taking wing, she grabbed Nixaria and Chrono, flying away from town and into the wooded area surrounding it.
"Since you are bent on protecting him, I will take you with me. Refrain from using magic near me, I will drop you and keep the child. He is of use to me, at the moment. When I am finished with him, I will give him back, you have my word."
-
"Would everyone just stop?!" Chrono yelled, his eyes turning to slits for an instant before changing back...
"Miss Dragon, If you have something to say, you can say it once we leave the eyes of paranoid mortals, until then, please stop chasing me down, and Nixaria I really can't trust anything you say since you were the one who was chasing me as soon as that butcher lost me!"
-
Philly watches them fly away into the woods. "Great, now I suppose I have to chase after them. I sure could use my flying nimbus right about now, but unfortunately I have no idea what has happened to it."
-
"Nixaria... I believe I stated that once before..." ((which I DID!!))
I looked at him and set him down, "You may have him..." I growled, as I turned away and walked off.
-
(I would assume you're talking to Philly?)
-
((no))
I looked at the dragon waiting for her response... "Well, do you want him or not?" I growled.
-
She nodded slowly. "Why the change in heart?" She asked.
-
Seeing the dragon fly off with his mark, he gives pursuit, all the while slowly getting very very angry.
-
Why am I so important to these people, I'm just an orphan whose mother and father both abandoned and left for dead... Chrono reflected while waiting for Nixaria to answer
-
I looked at the Dragon, "Do I need a reason? You said you would return him, although I don't trust you, it wouldn't hurt..."
-
She nodded again, picking him up gently and opening her wings. "I will do my best to return him with little or no harm done." She replied, eyes watchful as she scented the air and pumped her wings, the membrane btween her bones catching the air; propelling her upward.
-
I nod once and look around. "There's nothing to see here people" I said shooing away the crowd that had gathered.
-
Looks down on the ground, somewhat elated at being in the sky and not falling, but he barely shows it through a somewhat depressed face...
-
After a good running session Philly finally caught up with Nixaria. "Ex-squeeze me Miss, Where is the boy?"
-
"relax, He'll be back later." I said looking at him.
-
"Unfortunately I'm not allowed to relax until he is safe and sound in my care.....is he with the dragon?"
-
I looked at him, "And you think I'm fine with him being out and about?! Yes, he's with her. I let her take him, or she wouldn't have let me alone."
-
"I'm curious as to your intentions with the boy. What exactly is your motive with him?"
-
"I'm not obliged to tell you. All I can say is that I am here to simply defend him." I said looking at him, slowly ambling towards him.
-
Finally reaching the other two, and in mixed panting, gabag demands "WHERE, WHERE IS THE CHILD, WHERE DANG YOU!"
-
"Ahh well I can explain that. You see, this fine fur here allowed the dragon to take the child away." Philly said to Gabag.
-
Punching a hole in a rock with sheer rage "DANGIT WHY DID YOU GET TO HIM FIRST, NOW YOU GAVE HIM AWAY, THIS IS JUST FANTASTIC, any idea where they went?" after calming down
-
"DON'T GET ANGRY WITH ME TIN CAN!" I growled. "No, I don't know, but I'm sure they will be back." I looked at Philly. "Who are you might I ask?"
-
"I am the Great Sir Phillium and......actually no, I'm just Philly. I flunked warriors school so I don't even know why they put me on this mission."
-
"Oh, Well I'm Nixaria, Nix for short." I said smiling as I held out my hand.
-
~Only the Watchers could answer that, and of course, you can't reach them with the technology of this era...~
-
He reaches out to grab her hand, but instead trips over a very miniscule rock and falls face first.
-
I lean forward and catch him. "You alright? First day with new feet?" I giggle.
-
"Sorry, I'm just terribly clumsy." He said standing straight again. "Maybe it's jet lag from falling down here in a pod.....like a saiyan..."
-
I smile. "that's interesting." I raise my arm and hold the back of my head. "So you aren't going to kill me to handing over the kid?"
-
"Oh don't get me wrong, I'll kill you in an instant if you stand in my way of protecting the kid.....again"
-
Suddenly a rock hits Nixaria, and philly both in the head, and in the distance you here a small voice yelling out, "BULLSEYE!!"
-
Suddenly a rock hits Nixaria, and philly both in the head, and in the distance you here a small voice yelling out, "BULLSEYE!!"
(no randomly joining in and pelting with rocks)
-
((he didnt randomly join.. he's been in this RP. He was tracking me when I had the kid...))
I stand back up, "That's it kid, you asked for it!" I shouted darting after him finally reaching him and grabbing him, holding him upside down. I walked back over to Philly.
-
Rubbing his head Philly says "I vote we destroy the kid!"
-
((he didnt randomly join.. he's been in this RP. He was tracking me when I had the kid...))
I stand back up, "That's it kid, you asked for it!" I shouted darting after him finally reaching him and grabbing him, holding him upside down. I walked back over to Philly.
(still randomly coming from nowhere and hitting people with rocks doesnt make for fun)
-
((he finally caught up... stop being all BLAH about it))
I grin to Philly, "I agree..." I say holding the kid out in front of me, still upside down.
-
All he can do in this situation is smile, "So you'd kill a kid for pelting you in the head using slingshot rocks?", he said showing the slingshot. "Just goes to show how off guard you were."
(gab's just jealous because I didnt hit him in the head with a rock :D )
-
I smile at the kid. "Well maybe you shouldn't test strangers. You never know what might be the consequences."
-
"That's exactly the reason" Philly said balling up his fist.
-
I held the kid with one hand and rested my other on Philly's shoulder. "Relax. He learned his lesson... I'm sure..."
-
"I doubt it", he said with a chuckle. "I've always been a slow learner when it comes to things that make me laugh.", he said still chuckling to himself.
-
I start to shake him up and down. "Perhaps I can assist your learning abilities"
-
"Kid, do you want to die?" Philly asked holding the kids head up in one paw.
-
"Now, now, no need to threaten him." I said looking at Philly, my purple eyes fading to their natural crystal blue-green.
-
All he can do in this situation is smile, "So you'd kill a kid for pelting you in the head using slingshot rocks?", he said showing the slingshot. "Just goes to show how off guard you were."
(gab's just jealous because I didnt hit him in the head with a rock :D )
(yea your right, and somehow I just eliminated the bad Karma, for makin meh smile)
"Put the fool down, he may be stupid, but no reason to hurt him" Gab warned to the two bullies
-
Chrono looks up at the Dragon. "So, what are you going to ask me?"
-
"I'm not hurting him..." I grinned. I flipped him around and set him down.
-
"Thank you", he said putting his slingshot in his pocket. "So where is he?" he asked.
-
"The dragon took him..." I said looking at him. My expression slightly saddened.
-
Sahar smiled and disappeared, eyes scanning the countryside for a safe landing. "Are you alright, little one?" She called to him, moving her leg to touch her right shoulder. "Sit on my back, it's a lot easier when I finally land." She growled, rolling her shoulders back as her wings creaked and popped.
"Who do you think you are, more importantly, why do you think we're after you?"
-
He almost took out his slingshot to hit her again, but decided against since he already had a headache. "So how are we gunna get him back?"
-
"well of course, She's on a time limit... after a half hour or so, Philly, Gabag, and myself shall retrieve him..." I looked at him. "And don't even THINK about hitting me again... You wont like the result."
-
"I...just don't know, I never had to think about who I am, usually because I was more concerned with just making it to the next day..." Chrono replied, getting on her back...
-
suddenly has himself wrapped around his leg in a death grip while saying a slightly muffled, "I'm comin' with!"
-
I smile and pick him up. "Alright..."
-
"Yay!!", he says, but soon after he zones out looking into the sky...
-
"What are you looking at?" I ask, still holding him.
-
No response come, but suddenly his eye color changes from green, to a really dark blue.(permanent change) "I'm four years old, and I don't think that chrono is the only threat out there...." he says into open space.
(oooo wierdness!)
-
Crow was sat on top of a rock, his claymore rested on his shoulder as he looked over to the four people standing in a group, though he was too far away to hear, even with his advanced hearing. Sighing heavily, he turned away "Just missed the kid...looks like I'm going on a manhunt...but first, I may have to ask these people if they knew where he is going..." Standing up, Crow began to walk towards them, with his giant weapon and appearance, he probably looked quite threatening.
-
"Do you know who we are?" She inquired, tilting her wings to dip toward a low strip of land to their right. "Try to think about it."
-
Even when giving it thought, Chrono can't think of any reason "None of you seem at all familiar, some of you wear unusual clothing...but thats all I can think of.."
-
"We are hunters. Scouts for a pack looking of new recruits. You have no idea who you are?" She asked, gently touching the ground with each paw to keep the landing smooth. When all four legs were on the ground, she lowered her head to lay it on the rocks near the edge of the clearing. Her spines arranged into steps for Chrono to step off.
-
"I already told you before, but the more you ask, the more I realize that I only remember one year of my life, which is the one I'm living in right now..." Chrono reflected as he stepped off, being careful not to walk on her head.
-
She chuckled, shaking her spines back into place. "You are strange one, Chrono." Sahar bit back, eyes laughing. "So you don't remember anything else?"
-
"Uh...no...nothing.. I can't remember anything before this year...and I hope I'm not insulting your pride, but you seem the nicest of them all, once you get past the threats..."
-
"I am generally nice, unless given reason to change. I couldn't be that way around them without fighting them to get you, now could I?"
-
"I guess not" Chrono laughed, almost forgetting about his whole situation in the conversation.
"I guess it would also seem weird that even though you look so different from me, I feel like kin, weird huh?"
-
Riku reached the four "Where'd the kid go?" He asked, looking at the female of the group, as she was the one who he saw give the child away.
-
Grimsy entered the warp in the councils chamber and few minutes later appearing on a roof of a building in a blinding flash of light. Noticing a group of people talking about Chrono he decides to stay on the roof and eavesdrop their conversation
-
She shook her head. "Not at all." A twinkling light engulfed her and after a minute or so, a human stood where the dragoness was. "We are similar, no?"
-
Chrono jumped back "How did you...wher...huh?!"
-
She chuckled. "I am a trimorph- three form fur." Sahar looked at him with mirth in her golden eyes. "I can teach you how to do that, if you like? You have the feeling of having at least two forms, maybe three."
-
"I seriously doubt I'm anything more than a human, but it would be nice not to be completely defenceless for once..." Chrono freely said, calming down a bit
-
"What form would you like?" The human asked, brown tunic and breeches ruffling in the slight breeze wafting through the clearing.
-
"Uh...I don't know...maybe...dragon?"
-
"Okay, there are a few pointers and rules you have to understand first; the first is that you cannot change back unless it's been twenty four hours or someone with more power is around to aid you. The second, and I'm not going to lie to you, your first transformation is one of the most painful experiences you could have." Sahar looked him up and down, assessing his most prominent weak points. "Do you still want to go through with this?"
-
"Can't get anything without a little pain along the way..." Chrono said, his voice wavering at the prospect, emphasized by a 'gulp..
-
"Alright, first we make a triangle." She took a few steps this way and that, dancing around, dragging her feet until a triangle surface in the grass. Her mouth moved and meaningless words sang out, engulfing the two of them in a bubble of sorts.
-
"Uh...how does this give me another...form?"
-
"It's a system. Incantation, activation, formation, incantation. Afterwords, you have two forms instead of one." She replied, golden eyes flickering to a brilliant green as a soft glow sparked around her.
-
"So...this is activation?" Chrono queired, looking around the bubble
-
"Yes.. Now formation..." She sang a few verses of Latin and made motions with her hands, making a person out of clay from the ground, pointed toward Chrono and danced in a triangle. "Incantaion.."
-
Chrono is looking at his hands and other limbs, and doesn't notice anything different...yet....
-
As she continues to sing, more colors streak across the bubble and there is an acidic feel to some of Chrono's limbs, as though they are being eaten from the inside out. She makes a ripping in half motion and touches the ground, eyes livid with red light, making them an evil reddish-gold color.
-
Chrono suddenly feels pain shoot through his body, but when he open his mouth to yell, nothing comes out, but only a sharp intake of breath as the pain continues, leaving him numb, deaf, and almost blind to anything else going on...
-
AS he blanks, she pulls her fingers back, releases the magic and dissolves the bubble, a beautiful, dark black dragon laying where Chrono was. Chrono? Open your eyes, it is over. Sahar spoke to him, morphing into her dragoness to stay on his level.
-
Looking at the newcomer Philly spoke up again "This fur right here," he was pointing at Nixaria, "gave the boy to the dragon."
-
Chrono opens his eyes, still blurry from the process, and tries to get up, finding it really easy to do so. "Wow....that was painful, hopefully I don't have to go through that aga-....what happened to my voice?!" Chrono yelled, it becoming much deeper than his human voice.
-
Sahar winced, eyes cooling to their usual gold, but now with a hint of orange flame licking through the pupil. "You're a dragon now, so please lower your voice... It hurts my ears." She replied, tail thrashing a bit on the ground in pain.
-
"oh...sorry" Chrono replied, sitting down, not even realizing there are other people looking for him...
-
Are you ready to go back or do you want to learn a bit more? She asked, eyes laughing at him. Can you hear me?
-
"I can hear you, and I have a strange question, can you change me back, after, a match, I think I know how to fight like this..."
-
It would be just as painful, Chrono. Do you remember anything in this form, or still only what you've done this year...? A deer galloped past and Sahar raised a brow. You going to get that, or would you like me to do the honors? Her thoughts were lightly teasing.
-
"Uh...how about I get it?" Chrono insisted, quickly kicking off the ground, unfolding his wings, and taking off towards the now terrified deer. Wait...how did I get off the ground in the first place?! he wondered as he grabbed the deer and dragged it into the ground...
-
She chuckled and waited patiently for hi to return. No matter what form you are in, you will be able to hear me and I you, unless you block me. Need me to teach you that?
-
Sure, but I also want to reach the minds of oth..wow, I never would have been talking like this a day ago....thank you very much....wait, what is your name again? Chrono 'replied' as he hauled the deer over his shoulder, occasionaly beating his wings to keep aloft during his 'glide' to the dragoness.
-
My name is Sahar... But you cna call me whatever you wish. WE are the only two, so far that I've gathered, who can read each other this way.
-
Riku looked over to philly, a mild grimace displayed on his muzzle "Yeah, I saw that...But asked where the child is...an I assumed that seeing as though she gave him away, she would have some sort of idea". His tail flicked idly in annoyance before he regained his composure "Sorry, I seem to have lost my manners". He extended a paw towards Philly "I'm Riku, and you?"
-
Well thats annoying, but then again, I might be able to fool the others into thinking i'm someone else... he replied while putting the deer in front of Sahara The elder always gets first picks he said, bowing before waiting on Sahara to eat.
-
Philly grabs his hand firmly and says "I am the great Sir Phillium, and I am here to protect the boy."
-
Thank you, little one. You are tired, no? She nibbled on the deer, picking meat from the bones and crunching the rest easily between her massive teeth.
-
Riku looked him up and down "Well Sir, how do you plan on doing that? You've already managed to lose him...Seems like you're not doing your job too well". He lightly criticised.
-
"Ahh well you see, I didn't have him in the first place because she refused to give him to me."
-
Riku shook his head slightly "She refused to give him to you? You didn't do anything about it? You just let her give him away to a dragon?" The wolf said, slightly amused at the knights incompetence.
-
Sahar roared with amusement. Her eyes bubbled with laughter at Philly and Riku. It seems there are two looking for you who are confused. Shall we? Her tail thumped against the ground as she pushed the three-quarters of carcass to Chrono and stretched her wings.
-
eavesdropping on the roof gave him the info he needed They already managed to loose the boy...A Dragon!! i can't track flying targets yet! My training is far from done
-
"Well I wasn't here when she gave him away. The dragon had picked her up and flown her off, forcing my to have to run a good ways to get here. When I finally arrived, he was gone" Philly said trying to build the image of himself back up, but failing terribly.
-
Just a little, been doing alot of running since everyone showed up....and yes, I believe we shall Chrono replied, quickly eating the rest of the carcass, and quickly taking off into the air...
-
She took wing beside him and arced to the sky, belching a tongue of flame toward the sun.
-
can't contact council for instructions and target is lost.. what a way to start a mission he though somewhat nervous as he ran towards the edge of the roof and slipped , falling down on the street below
-
I wonder how long it will take for Nixara to figure it out... Chrono 'said' to Sahara, keeping within eye-contact...
-
Riku sighed "Be that as it may, y-" He stopped as he spotted a tongue of flame in the distance "Never mind that, it seems they are returning". Squinting his eyes, he though he could spy another, smaller form next to the dragon. Resting his giant sword across his shoulder, he looked back and thought he saw something on the roof, but he wasn't sure. Disregarding it, he looked back towards the sky, shielding his eyes from the glare of the sun with his free paw.
-
Philly looked over towards the roof, but saw nothing. He turned his gaze towards the sky, where he saw two dragons. "Well I see the one that took the boy, but no boy. And who is the other dragon?"
-
After painfully landing on his back he gets up to realize that he got lucky and remained unseen then he noticed flame in the sky Flame? that's worth checking out since I'm tracking a dragon
-
She roared with laughter again and belched another flame. More than likely the better part of ten minutes. For the sake of confusion, what shall I call you now that you are kin?
-
I was always interested in being called Veryn...but if you can find something easier, be my guest
-
Veryn it is. A spark of fire appeared next to Philly and Sahar tilted her body to swing in lazy circles near the group. Fire danced along her jaw and spine, momentarily blinding them before she landed and cut the show. "Veryn, would you care to join me?" She called up, all serious. This could be fun, how long do you think they'll be fooled?
-
Until one of them knows how to probe minds, that reminds me, how do I block that? He thought as he decended right behind Philly
-
Another flame! there's definately something there! he thought to himself as neared the area of the flame blast.
-
Philly jumped, slightly startled at the flame, and at the dragon that had landed beside him. "You there, what's become of the boy?"
-
I think I can fake this Chrono thought as he burped up a leg bone, and dangled it in his fingers...
-
She smirked wryly, bending her head to look Philly over with one eye. "And who might you be, that it concerns you?" Think of something completely gross. When someone probes your mind, it feels like a toothpick inside your brain.
-
arriving at the flames location he sees 2 dragons Hmm that's odd no one mentioned a second dragon and wheres that kid? in order to be at least little hidden he climbed a tree and sat down on a branch
-
While looking at Philly, Chrono picked up another scent tell me when to stop, because I might not be able to stop myself... he thought as he licked his chops "So...another one has shown up has it....'Mother', can I find the peeping tom?"
-
"You don't know who I am? Well I ma'am am the great Sir Phillium, and it is my sworn duty to protect the child until the age of 6, or at least until he ascends. Now where is he?"
-
Running through the woods, he finally stumbles upon Chrono, and Philly. "Ugh Finally I found you, please, hear me out, please" he panted, about to fall over in that armor of his.
-
She nodded slowly to Chrono, smiling still. Belching, a little tongue of flame poked out of her mouth and barely touched Philly. "And why would you do that? Of course you can, my son." I will, carry on.
-
Running through the woods, he finally stumbles upon Chrono, and Philly. "Ugh Finally I found you, please, hear me out, please" he panted, about to fall over in that armor of his.
(Please explain to me how you can tell that i'm now a dragon, because I'm confused how you can recognize me)
"Thank you, i'll bring him here in just a moment" Chrono said as he flew towards the source of the scent, and spotted someone in a tree. "Well hello there little one, care to join your friend in our conversation?" He said, almost in front of the tree...
-
Riku stuck his sword into the ground "Enough fooling around...I saw you leave with the boy and now you return with this runt of a dragon?" He indicated Chrono "it's suspicious in the very least...now tell me what you have done to him". It seemed that he knew what had happened, but was hiding his discovery from the others.
-
The dragoness snarled at Riku as a sparkling light engulfed her and she was replaced by a green-eyed, tanned human that glared crossly at him. "None of your business, fur face." She snapped, folding her arms across her chest challengingly. "You are not his owner, nor my master and I will not put up with you speaking in such a way while in my company."
-
Riku gave her a cold glare, not even flinching at her transformation "I'd tone down that attitude if I was you, wench...Now, I'm going to ask one more time. Where is the child? I'm done playing games". His glare was unwavering and harsh, analysing her. Gripping his sword tighter, he waited for her response, his senses on high alert.
-
Running through the woods, he finally stumbles upon Chrono, and Philly. "Ugh Finally I found you, please, hear me out, please" he panted, about to fall over in that armor of his.
(Please explain to me how you can tell that i'm now a dragon, because I'm confused how you can recognize me)
"Thank you, i'll bring him here in just a moment" Chrono said as he flew towards the source of the scent, and spotted someone in a tree. "Well hello there little one, care to join your friend in our conversation?" He said, almost in front of the tree...
(i never said I saw Chrono, but he recognizes Philly, and he needs to talk to Philly, he doesnt know the dragon guy)
"Do... Do you know where Chrono went... and can you tell me who this dragon guy is?" he asked, slightly panting from exhaustion
-
She smirked wryly, showing off elongated canines. "Why would I tone it down? You are no threat to me, fur-ball." She glanced past him and pulled her lips back in a snarl. Come, Chrono. They are catching on... She thought, glaring at Riku. "And your name would be?"
-
I couldn't get the peeping tom, but I'll come back... He replied, flying back to Sahara
-
Nodding, she climbed atop his back, laying her face on his cold scales. Back to the triangle? I can show you how to get the other form, and show you min,e if you like...
-
Sounds intresting, you sure they won't follow?
-
Riku growled at her, showing his own razor sharp teeth "Is that so? I'm sure we will see eventually." He pulled his sword from the ground and rested it across his shoulder again. Taking a step forward he said lowly so nobody could hear but her "Know that I will come find you and Chrono. Yes his disguise doesn't fool me. My name is Riku...remember it." He took a step back and eyed her.
-
She laughed coldly. "Shall we see? Fine, I will keep an eye on you, Riku MagikSeer." She replied, still laughing. Her eyes came alive with wicked black fire and she tapped Veryns' sides gently with her ankles. Yes, I am sure. This Riku will be a hard one to lose, but I will devise a plan to drop him. Do not worry.
-
Or...I could just double my flight speed...
-
Yes, but when they finally track us... you will have to change back eventually or the change becomes permanent...Unless this is what you wish to stay as... She replied wearily, eyes half-closed. You don't mind me being here, do you?
-
Riku held her gaze "I won't stop hunting you. Day and night I will come for you, you will have no rest, no comfort. Know this" He said in a cold, almost demonic tone. Though he was saying it to the dragoness, he was looking at Chrono now.
-
Not at all, and is there a way I can change on my own after you change me back into a human?
-
Yes, if I train you well enough. Sahar hissed, sliding off his back as they landed back in the clearing. There is a cave not far from here that I reside in. We can rest there until tomorrow, I do not have the strength now to show you anything.. A bending of sunlight into blue reflections of the landscape covered her for several minutes. After which, she stood near him as a black cat, purring and rubbing against his leg.
-
Yet you have enough strength to bend the light around you and change into a cat....oh well, lead the way?
-
That is an easy trick, it uses little strength once you master your forms. She retorted, hissing slightly, tail puffed out. Through those trees and about two miles straight up.
-
he sighs quietly for a moment i though my cover was blown there...and now I'm out of leads to follow...... he jumps from branch to branch looking for place to spend the night but can't help to wonder why there were two dragons
-
So, do I follow you, or do you want me to carry you through the woods?
-
You may follow, if you can keep up. She teased, dashing into the foliage, cackling.
-
Like I'll lose to a 'furball'. He yelled while leaping from tree to tree to keep up with and possibly pass Sahara.
-
She leaped into the hole of a tree and waited for him to pass by, pouncing on him. Rawr! She shouted, hissing playfully.
-
Aieee, a panther! Chrono joked, falling off a tree for a breif second, before digging his claws into another tree and continuing his leaping pace..
-
When you get about four feet away, there'll be a huge rock with weird markings on it. That's my door. I burned it the last time I tried to move it and it's now a cute little decoration slash landmark for remembering where I live. It's not more than fifteen feet from us now.. She sat atop his head, tail draped near his jaw, purring contently.
-
Only fit-AUGH!...Chrono was interupted in his throught process when his claws met stone and he slipped and plummeted ten feet, hitting the ground in front of the said 'door' I take it I found it....ow...
-
Sahar giggled, padding off his face to sit in front of his nose and proceeded to clean her paws; acting oblivious to him. Are you alright, little one?
-
Surprisngly, yes, although my shoulder has been in better shape... Chrono commented, remembering he hit his shoulder hard on the way down.
-
I'm sorry... We'd better enter quickly... We're on borrowed time right now... She thought, hissing and spitting as she clawed a latin phrase into the rock. It glowed a bright green monetarily then disappeared, opening a door chrono's size.
-
Chrono quickly got on his feet and went inside. Wait, what if Riku shows up again, is it possible for you to hide the markings?
-
two dragons.... he wondered because something in the situation didn't sit right with him Hope the kid isn't dead..Wait! the dragon transformed! Could she have transformed the kid as well? he realized and began trying to track them down
-
She shook her head, in human form once more. They only appear when I am around... or someone akin to me is nearby... They will not find us here.. She replied, sighing wearily. A long tunnel spanned out before them and Sahar immediately began to descend, shivering a little as the temperature slowly dropped. "This cave has been here for centuries... I don't know where it first started but it has many entrances, but only one exit."
-
Is there a space where we could go to sleep, because i'm not a fan of vertical sleeping...
-
"Yes, of course. If you continue on for about thirty feet, there is a space for a dragon, grass for bedding." Sleep, I will return in a few minutes... I must hunt. She told him, pointing to his right.
-
Careless! i can track them with these claw marks in the trees, least flying they wouldn't have left any tracks he thought as he followed their trail of claw marks to a crashlanding site near a big rock Trail stopped here..where could they be...?
-
Thank you, very much... the child dragon said, soon reaching the grass and lying down for a peaceful rest.
-
She sat at the first entrance, eyes watchful as her mind wandered, unbidden, into territories she normally left alone. Feeling the temperature drop, and night fall, she reached out with her mind, spanning across several miles to brush Nixaria's. Witch woman? The child is asleep. I am watching over him. He is safe, for now. I will contact you when he is ready to return. She thought, resting her head on her knees, wrapping her arms around herself as she shivered.
-
Hearing the message from the retched dragoness, I scowl. Wrong. I am tracking you now. You've had your time. And I am not witch woman... so I suggest you call me by my NAME I growled.
-
I do not know your name, furface. She snarled back, closing herself off and treading over to Chrono. "We must go, little one. That witch is coming for you. Clean yourself, with the fire, and meet me down the second entrance." She growled, eyes turning a wicked red as the cat appeared again.
-
and the second entrance is where again? Chrono 'said' unconsiously breathing fire on himself.
-
Nixaria I managed to sent in before being shut off. "That witch has the child still." I growled as my fists clenched together tightly. I began to dart for the woods. "I will find you Demon"
-
She smirked and bit his tail. This way! She hissed in annoyance and streaked past him, thundering into another tunnel and stopped near the three entrances.
-
Riku set off in close pursuit of Nixaria, following the trail of marks and general direction of their flight. Breaking off from the trail, he ran at a parallel angle to the cave. After running for about a minute, he continued towards the cave, stopping outside, near the giant boulder. Despite his detour, he still arrived there. Examining the claw marks around the boulder "They must've moved it...Somehow...Or it could be a trap..". The Demon Wolf thought to himself in quiet reflection.
-
Chrono follows Sahara, hoping he doesn't become alone again...
-
Tail swaying in thought, she trotted down the center tunnel, sniffing the stale air, eyes alert and glowing softly to show the way. Tender yellow light danced along the floor, moving near her paws. I don't remember where this tunnel stops at, but I know it's nowhere near the cave. The cave is the only exit for all the entrances in this world. Haven't been to all of them yet... There wasn't enough room back when I first found this place.. She purred, head turned, purple-gold eyes laughing.
-
while observing the landing site from a tree he noticed a stranger arriving at the site looks like I'm not the only one who found their tracks
he attempted to hide his presence from the stranger because there were no telling what his intentions were
-
Wait, we're heading to another world?!
-
No... She paused, a mewling laugh escaping her maw; I said there are many entrances but only one exit. We are going out an entrance, not an exit. Would you like to go to another world? She teased, still laughing.
-
Wait, what do you mean when you say 'exit' and 'entrance'?
-
Remember the boulder? That is an entrance, to which the cave is the exit. So, the cave is the only place any and all of the tunnels and passageways lead to. Since we are heading away from the cave, there are infinite 'exits' to chose from. I have decided this is the best choice, as it is the fastest, farthest, and least guarded entrance. Turning back toward the tunnel, she began to pace downward, glancing back. Any more questions or can we go?
-
No, you answered them, I think...anyway, can I call you 'Mom' since i'm really just an orphan for all I know...
-
Sure... Long as you know if you ever annoy me, I'll beat you like a red-headed stepchild. She replied, amused.
-
Uh, what does that mean? Chrono asked with a look of worry.
-
It's a joke. She replied, laughing again.
-
Before Philly knew it, everybody had left. He chased after them, but unfortunately got lost. "Oh dear, I've got to find that child."
