Flora I ♀ I High Assistant I Wood Dweller I Mushroom Wood

Flora was startled to hear Razor, and she shook her head violently to rid her of her tears. Nothing felt worse than expressing feelings in front of another dragon. She reared up to fly off the perch, but forced herself not to. She didn't look back at the two, and continued to stare at the sky and just pretend she didn't hear. The velvet sky's moon was now directly in the middle of the sky. It wasn't midnight, but it was close. She laid down on the wooden floor and made herself comfortable. The longer she stared, the more entranced she became. However, the thought of Alduin and Igneus remained. Igneus troubled her the most, but Alduin just added even more to that. Yet, the sky seemed to rid her of some weight that lingered on her shoulders. Funny how a simple view could make her mood shift.

Miraa I ♀ I Alpha I Frigid Dweller I Nurse's DenI Tags: Hermaeus Mora

Her eyes were graced with Hermaeus bowing in return, and saying something else that warmed her heart. Her meek eyes had turned into those of protectiveness. Miraa always wanted a child of her own, but she learned long ago that she already had children, living right near her. "It's worth a try. We can tell her what happened here, she may relate. If you don't wish to go, then I won't force you. But I an willing to try. Not now, but soon. We need the help we can get if they are both suspected to be alive." she said to Hermaeus, her voice filled with worry. Who knows what would happen if they did indeed get together? She sat back down nest to her assistant and whispered something to him. "Zu'u lokaal hi too.." She shrunk back slightly despite her newfound knowledge that they have equal feelings. Did she really have to confess in front of everyone though? Her face grew red through those feathers and lowered her head.

I love you too.

Igneus I ♂ I Rogue I Stranger Woods I Alduin

Igneus stumbled back and felt the rush of loud wind push him back. He received another, this time managing to absorb it a little. Despite his pain, his body screaming for mercy, he kept fighting. Then, something terrifying happened. An intense heat surrounded his back, and his mouth actually glowed a different color than the usual orange. Bright blue flames suddenly blanketed his entire back, including his wings. His spine scales grew intensely hot, and breathed bright blue flames at his foe. What was this? Did he learn a new power? How though? It wasn't like he was complaining, but he was also greatly startled by this new power he had never discovered. The blue flames dissipated with his will, and he somehow managed to set his back on fire a second time as a little test. He was indeed controlling it. He turned his focus back on the male, and used his dull brain to figure something out. The shout was his most powerful weapon other than his teeth and claws. If he were keep his jaws closed, he could win, and finally end this miserable battle. He walked closer truculently and jumped with all the strength he could muster. Igneus hoisted his entire weight on the other, his hands pushing his upper jaw down, and laid on him to barely keep him down. This dragon was bigger, but not at all by much. His spiky scales greatly hurt his belly and the other's tail repeatedly kept thrashing at him, but that didn't matter. He desperately wanted this fight to end. To his dismay,
the foe managed to knock him off with a sharp blow and switched places with him. However, he shot his arms up to close his muzzle once more. "I will give you one thing, stranger. You... you are powerful, as much as I hate to say it." he admitted through closed teeth. It was a shame that this dragon wasn't on his side. Wait, did he just think that? Igneus, shame on you!

Luxa decided she didn't have to be there anymore. She didn't have to be healed, to her amazement, plus she had some plans ahead.

"Well, I don't think I'm needed here anymore. I'd better get some sleep." Luxa left the den to go back to her plush, feathered nest.

Sting took a moment to gather up something strong enough to bind a muzzle. He placed it carefully in his mouth so as not to puncture it.

With a running start he took off skyward. The tiny dragon was barely a blot in the night sky. He looked out to search for the other guards, circling like a vulture for them.

meridia | female | 344 years | alpha | mushroom forest | tags: flora, razor

Meridia jumped and flared her wings slightly when Flora reared up and she looked at her with concern, "Are you okay?" She asked as she layed down next to her and watched the sky as well, reading off each constellation she saw in her head. She draped a wing over her shoulders and back tentatively to try and comfort her friend.

[ sorry, bit of writers block ]

Hermaeus lifted his head proudly and flicked his bloodied tail and nodded, "If you wish, my Queen, I can go present myself to my s—" He started before cutting himself off and cursing himself on the inside before shaking his head as if he felt dizzy, and he really did before starting again. "I will seek out Meridia as an ambassador and try to convince her to help us." He said before bowing his head in respect but it shot up when he heard the four words he doubted he'd ever hear and a small smile crept onto his face. He knew she was embarrassed when she flinched back and he chuckled a little but then turned to Luxa just before she left. "I am sorry I wasn't able to save you before Igneus harmed you." He said with his voice full of regret as he looked at her as she left and sighed quietly. He went to sit but grunted as he accidentally clawed himself in a cash on his belly and turned to Leusshe with a sheepish expression, "Is it possible you can patch me up? I need to be in full health to defend the clan, and if I have permission to act as an ambassador." He said as his turquoise and navy eyes shifted to Miraa temporarily.



Alduin / male / age unknown / rogue / no clan / tags: igneus

Alduin was taken aback as the dragon's back was suddenly engulfed in bright blue flame and felt a little uneasy before he narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly at the new challenge. He switched tactics as it seemed the other male's element was fire and he opened his mouth. "Fo Krah Diin!!" He shouted but his jaw was hit just as the wave of ice left his jaws and he growled in pain, though it was laced with a whine as he was pinned. Alduin whipped his head back and forth and tried to buck him off, hissing in fury and outrage with the sudden switch of tactics and felt blood run down his snout. He paused before rolling over onto his back and onto his feet before jumping on the male to pin him and was about to bite down on him but the talons were wrapped around his jaws again. He hissed as he began to speak, his crimson eyes burning with hate and loathing as he tried to whip his head free but he stopped for a second as he heard the compliment. He narrowed his eyes and his loud hissing faded and he dug his talons into the male's belly and pushed off and managed to yank his snout free and he shook his head, blood flying everywhere. He brought a claw to his face and touched his snout and saw the dark blood that quickly coated his talon and he growled. "Given the chance I would have ended your life, runt. I assume you are around three hundred eighty years old judging by your strength and what tactics you know now. I am eons old and have come to a draw with a young dragon. That is... unheard of." He said slowly as he watched the other male as he walked further into the clearing to inspect his wounds, and to put distance between them.

"It's okay. I won't let myself be a victim like that anymore," she said to Hermaeus Mora, a half smile crossing her features, "It's funny. Fridgid dwellers are supposed to be tough, right? I think it's time I start reflecting that stereotype."

Flora I ♀ I High Assistant I Wood Dweller I Mushroom Wood

Flora watched outside and felt the gentle touch of Meridia's wing. She chuckled a bit as a single tear rolled down her cheek. "Heh.. how pathetic of me. I... can't.. even handle a few negative memories before sobbing." she joked in her distraught state. She continued to gaze upwards with a glazed look in her eyes. The stars still comforted her, along with the only friend she ever knew. All of these combined led her to feel a fuzzy feeling along with gratefulness. However, this was literal fuzzyness. The wood beneath her began to sprout a small bed of thin but soft moss, even without rain. She only figured this out mere moments after it happened, and she was shocked. She didn't even have to focus anymore. The movement of plants seemed to respond to her feelings as well. Her connection to the earth must've strengthened. It must've. Not only that, but she noticed something else. Glowing mushrooms popped up near the edge of the post, reaching out to the sky. How? They grow in dark, damp places. Not regular old wood.. Plants were starting to grow in the most unnatural of places. She looked at Meridia in shock, and they both exchanged looks.

Miraa I ♀ I Alpha I Frigid Dweller I Alpha's Tree

Miraa looked around in slight embarrassment, and gazed at Valkyrie and Iusshe. She dipped her head in thanks and shakily got up with a much better mood. She walked a few steps out the den. Without looking back, she spoke. "When you're done fixing Hermaeus, please tell him to return to the Alpha's Tree." She walked away and held a slight limp on the way back. She looked up at the giant sturdy husk of a tree, and hoisted herself up into the entrance. She really hoped all of this would heal the next day.. She walked through the carved in staircase up to her living quarters. Before she ascended, she looked briefly at her assistant's room. Miraa walked back down and decided to visit his room again. A neat, organized room that he himself made. She looked over at the wooden box that held Hermaeus' scrolls. She went over to it, careful not to touch anything else, and opened it. The dust was piled high with the exception of her assistant's fresh claw prints he left to open it the first time. Scrolls were piled gently in there, and she picked one up with care. The scroll showed all the basic and common words Dovahzul had, and she read all of them in order to refresh herself. Lower down, she found a few ones she saw in her personal learning scroll, but they looked different. They must've been the correctly portrayed here, as Hermaeus said earlier that hers had a few mistakes. She gently rolled it back up the way it was, and placed it back in the same spot. The time to learn would come later. Right now, she wanted badly to rest. She closed the box and placed it back, then returned to the staircase to her quarters. Her room was big, and lavishly decorated worthy for a queen. With shelves of scrolls, a few lamps and several carved out holes to act as windows, there were also sculptures of ice she made herself and a fluffy nest-like bed made of wool. It was comforting to be back in her cold room, and she sat down on her fluffy bed, only to ruin it with a few streaks of blood that came from a wound she accidentally uncovered when she sat down. Darn it. She would clean it later. It meant nothing compared to the worry she felt. Alduin and Igneus were dancing in her thoughts, and she imagined them sitting atop the Alpha's Tree, blowing crimson and orange flames down at the residents below. She whined and covered her head with a tattered wing, trying to nap.

Igneus I ♂ I Rogue I Stranger Woods I Alduin

"Pin point." he growled, trying not to express his shock that the dragon managed to guess his age. He stood his ground as the other male backed off, but he himself couldn't help but gaze at his wounds. He wanted hard for this battle to end. However, he kept himself from striking. He couldn't bear to feel another slash or claw at the moment. For the first time in a while, Igneus decided to stop fighting, and replace it with a compromise. But he'd have to be subtle. He narrowed his eyes at a compliment that he had not at all expected to hear from this dragon. Eons old? What a grandpa! A tough one, at least. He sighed heavily, but hid his frustration. Just end the quarrel. "You.. are right about one thing. ..Dovahzul.. isn't just bumbling garbage. As an even younger dragon, I.. thought it was nothing but that." he panted, his voice laced with scorn. He quickly shut himself up, and watched the dragon with wary eyes. He wasn't about to lose his guard and his life. He will become Alpha of Mushroom Wood or Chilled Wood again. Maybe even alpha of the whole High Island, or all of Stranger Woods and Mushroom Woods. Then the thought occurred to him. Was this the dragon that Meridia fought off after his departure? After all, he did know her name. Igneus never paired up with anybody, but.. If they shared thoughts about Meridia, maybe they could take her down? He felt smarter after thinking this, but doubted himself. The dragon was really independent, and he cared not about anyone else. But he also couldn't help but feel slightly proud that he managed to be even with a much more experienced dragon.
