Anna nodded as she picked up the second rat skin. "Let's be going. And yes, I shall tell you my riddle on the way." She smiled. She might actually like this dragon, even though he had a rather abrupt manner and tended not to say much. She began to fly upward, toward the closest mountain peak she could see. Her violet eyes scanned the area for any slayers. Seeing as most dragons had enhanced eyesight, it would be easy to spot a potential threat.

She spotted a man carrying a sword, spears, and several bags of gold and jewels. It's Devin! she shouted with her mind to Suri. We need to get out of the valley. We can't go to the mountains. He's headed this way. She then sent a mental picture of his position to the northwest and the fact that he was headed their way. If we can get out of here fast enough, he won't see us. We just have to keep to the shadowy side of the valley. Luckily for us, the east side is the shadowy side, and not the west. Anna veered her course to the west, and it was at this moment that she realized her scales were red again. She calmed herself enough to make them turn blue, but there was no way they would be yellow and orange again until they were safely away from Devin.

The Grand Archmage

The Grand Archmage walked outside his castle, looking for Croner Septa Ler, his old friend. He spotted an irregularly-shaped mountain dozing on top of a hill, and shouted, so the old dragon would hear, "Croner, my friend! Don't think you can hide from me you great lizard! I believe we should discuss preparations for when the other dragons arrive, surely they will be here soon." He grinned up at the oversized winged reptile, looking quite silly. His silver hair, colored with age, fell to the ground at his back, and his beard was blown back by the great dragon's hot breath. It was more like a particularly strong gust of warm wind, though.

Croner blinked sleepily. He felt groggy, and the sun left him dazzled for a few seconds. "Huh? Oh, I'm sorry, I must have dozed off. Of course, of course - preparations." He anticipated the other dragon's arrival greatly. He had piles of notes stored up in some musty old rooms and some distant memories, but it had been so long since he had seen another dragon... he was solitary of his type, and even before Devin had begun killing dragons he had not interacted much with his kind. He paused for a moment to search his brain.
"We will need to make accomodations. I'm not sure where we're going to fit twelve dragons, and the sea dragons will want to be close to some body of water... Oh, do you think they will be able to help me with my studies on creatures of the sea?... and fire dragons should not be put to close to other dragons lest fighting brake out, at least according to what I've learned of there behavior..."

Perhaps we are not doomed after all. If we can get twelve other dragons here...

♫ ஜ Cassia Alla Moore ஜ ♫

Today. I am leaving today. For the future of dragonkind, I cannot fail.

Cassia Alla Moore swooped through the air to scan her surroundings. Her scales rippled a hard steady green. Determination. Cassia would do whatever it took to make sure she succeeded. She would take a route along the sea... she could never leave it for long... and then to the Archmage's castle. If only for the benefit of defying the slayers, I will do this. And kill as many slayers on the way as I can. Fury raged through her and without thinking she speared a seagull in half. Its dying shrieks of agony pierced her hearing as she dove down to eat it. The taste of blood and fresh meat flooded her mouth, salty and refreshing and strengthening. Taking it out on the seagull had been enough to dull her anger to a dull throbbing at the back of her head. I will have my revenge. I will.

A strong gale stole her control and sent Cassia hurtling towards a cliff with which she barely avoided collision. The adrenaline filled her. Oh, yes. She was ready for this. The raging of the sea below her spurred her on as she dove down, splashing through it and ultimately sinking into its watery depth. She would not start out to enthusiasically, though. She had to pace herself, or else she would die of exhaustion halfway through her journey.

And if the Slayers find me, I will have the vengeance I was too cowardly to take that time.

The Grand Archmage

"Yes, that was exactly my thoughts. Tell me, are there any caves nearby? Particularly caves close to my lake, for the sea dragons' comfort. And yes, I do believe they might be willing to help you with your studies," the Archmage said. "We'll need several caves, of course, and we will need smaller caves for the elf dragons, but that can be taken care of once we acquire the number of caves in the area. After all, we can't have anyone leaving our valley, then Devin would get them, the evil little nuisance." He realized that all he said could be considered prattle, but Croner wouldn't mind, as they were both quite old and tended to overlook things.

He had been to his lake just the other day to find chunks of raw, unshaped seeing stones, and had only found enough to make five rings. Now he just needed enough to make two more rings, as he had spent months collecting seeing stones. Even though his lake was the only place they could be found, it was still a rare occurrence to find any, after all, the planet wasn't made of the precious gem.

Ezra's eyes blinked open at the sound of something. What, she wasnt to sure, but it mattered not. It was a nuisance. She struck quickly, recognising the thing in her teeth. A deer. It struggled, till she bit down, killing it instantly. She then sighed, giving it a munch as she ate the deer. She came out of her hole to eat it, and finished it up in a couple of bites. Sighing, she then looked back at the hole she had just burrowed out of. Though going in and out of the hole was a pain because of her spikes, it did provide her with a rather camouflaged home, as her blue scales would be covered in soil. The only annoyance was that sometimes, prey tended to step on you, like the deer two seconds ago. But no matter, today, she was setting out. She gave a large yawn, before standing, her wings giving two flaps to warm up, before she folded them back. Today was a peaceful day, and it was not as if she needed to hurry to anywhere, might as well walk.

The dragon's paws thumped dpwn on the ground, as she looked around. The blue dragon made her way, her start of her journey, to see the archmage. She had no idea why she would wish to visit the archmage, in all reality, she did not care at all. Self preservation was not the thing highest in her list of interests, it was the only thing in her list of interests. The other things mattered not. She had faced starvation before, faced many things, and knew full well why one had to evade the slayers. She could just continue living in that hole, and no one would know. Why then, was she heading to the archmage?

Because, no matter how much she told herself she was nothing like the stereotypical spiked dragon, she still inherited that need for company, to have someone closeby. And the place that most likely held what she was looking for? The archmage. So that was her reason, in a way, though her current self was just fine with being lonely.

As the dragon walked, staying more to the shadows of the place, the blue scales, though still looking very obvious in the forest, for some reason, one would not notice her at all if it was just a causual glance. Perhaps it had to do with the way she walked, the way she made no sound, the way she seemed to merge with the shadows. Her green eyes silently tracked everything, and she walked on.

Suri gasped and snarled slightly before regaining the control. He took off, leaping upwards and spreading his wings, banking swiftly and turning to follow Analyse, his wings beating firmly. He had missed flying this heigh, he reflected, and began to scan the ground below him for signs of Delvin. He snarled again, catching sight of the dragon slayer, but knew better than to swoop down and try to fight the dragon slayer, it would be stupid. He contented himself with roaring again and swooping behind Analyse, following her into the shadowy side of the Valley. "So about that riddle?" He asked her with his mind, preparing his own. "I can't wait to see if the elven dragons are as clever with riddles as the rumors say" He joked, knowing that she would probably outsmart him.

Once Suri was in the air, Anna slowed down slightly. She heard his question, and said with her mind, "Yes, well here it is: When I am tall I am bright, and when I am short, there is no light. What am I? Here's a hint, though it might not help you: It can be found in a human's house. And no, you're not allowed to try to rifle through my memories to find the answer. That's cheating." Anna chuckled, knowing the greater dragon had probably never been in a human's house before and thus might never come to a conclusion which was so obvious to her. She had turned orange again and tried to stifle her laughter so the other dragon wouldn't hear and she wouldn't accidentally bump into something as she flew.

Her efforts were greeted by her making an odd sound that was a mix between a snort and a sneeze. She now flew upside down just in front of and below Suri's royal purple wing. She gained control of herself long enough to fly right side up and above his wing so she could catch the updrafts the larger dragon made with his up-and-down motion, but once she finished, she immediately broke into a fit of giggles again.

Devin

Devin heard a dragon's roar from the other side of the valley and knew at least one of the demon lizards had to be there. But he also knew that it had probably spotted him, and was making its way out of the valley at that moment. He would never reach the other side in time, not without some kind of flying mount, and he wasn't going to degrade himself by riding atop one of those foul beasts. He would just have to wait until one was foolish enough to come fight him, possibly a young male who wanted to impress a female.

[Thought I should add some color so you can tell the difference between things -- I found it frustrating myself.]

[lynettetan1]

Ezra heard a loud roar, and felt something slightly stir within her. Never seeing another of her kind before due to her being such a recluse, she felt extremely compelled to go check it out. She walked towards the sound, then, remembering she had wings, took to the air, and flew. She headed towards the sound quickly, dipping and diving into shadows, into the sky, so that she would not be seen, until she reached them. One was a very large dragon, and the other was a small one. Landing somewhat far away, Ezra decided not to confront them. She would most likely scare them away with her glares anyway, Ezra did not like to be disturbed, nor talked to, nor... well, she was taught to eye everything within a 50 mile radius of her, so though she had this faint feeling of talking to them, she also did not want to, did not want to cause trouble. So, she contented herself with flying silently under them, hidden in the undergrowth, merely enjoying the fact that there was another presence other then hers. Truly, Ezra was a queer one.

"That's cheating! You KNOW I'd never fit in a humans house! " He chucked to himself and thought carefully. He'd known other elf dragons, and they'd told him about human houses. What on earth? He started to think about sources of light. Humans relied on fire when it was dark, and they lit up logs in cubby holes for warmth and light, but that didn't cover the tall/short bit. "Go ahead and laugh, I'm completely stuck" He commented, frustration building up slightly. He swallowed it down, and thought carefully. There were those thin white things that humans lit, they gave light....they burnt down after a bit though....it was worth a shot, surely? One of those thin white things that humans light?"He guessed.

(Um, Supernova? Ezra is just below you two...)
