To Walk a Dragon's Path, Chapter 3-Grievences of a Queen - Page 14

Calaethis Dragonsbane · 05-29-2003, 09:10 PM

Calaethis shrugged, then he suggested; "Why not rid upon his neck? Just below the head, and the crest? Then I could sit behind you, and if anything happened, all I'd have to do is wrap my arms around your waist. Just a thought..." Cal looked away, and refused to meet her eyes. Clearly, he wasn't happy about riding upon Avalon without someone - Verloren - to hold on, in case the dragon decided to dump him. Sheer paranoia, but Cal was like that sometimes.

Lady Blue03 · 05-30-2003, 12:46 AM

Avalon twisted his neck around to look at Calaethis with a wary kind of surprise that the elf would think he would do such a thing. A deep grunt rumbled in his chest,
"If that is fine with you my love, then make haste. The others are waiting." He lowered his head to the ground.

Verloren smiled and nodded, then gestured to Calaethis, indicating him to go first. When he was safely on, she kissed Avalon's silver scaled snout before stepping on and sitting next to his ear, leaning on a broad horn for support.

With a grunt, Avalon lifted off, then took a place next to Dar as Zachana turned and headed north.

They were on their way.

ooc-I'm not going to integrate the sub plot i had planned, since skye is here. So the party reaches the lords place unhindered.
Youre up skye

Shadow spent most of the trip the same way he usually did... holding on tightly to the dragon quietly mumbling about how he hates flying, heights and *most* dragons.

OOC So, I assume that with your next post we'll have landed safely?

Cal did as he was bade, and ignored the silver dragon's look. He realised he was shivering and trembling. For some reason, he just could not relax. His eyes constantly shifted, and he was just on the threshold of shifting form - which likely would have got him dumped overboard. The elf sighed and whimpered softly to himself. Tagnik told him to stop feeling sorry for himself, and to grow up. Cal ignored it.

Lady Blue03 · 05-30-2003, 03:38 PM

ooc-well, nm, i will do the subplot

The sun was beggining to set and Zachana was coasting lazily, beating on the occasional gust. She let her eyes sweep the terrain below and noticed something shiny shooting towards them. Her nostrils widened and she picked up a scent...it was another dragon, and a metallic, judging by the way it reflected the sun. With a roar, Zachana banked to the side. Seconds later a huge silver streak hurtled by, barely missing. Wide silver wings spread as the dragon prepared to dive on her. Zachana let out a piercing scream as it came down.

The silver let out a roar as it neared. Shooting from behind the black, the form of Avalon collided with the other with a furious roar.

Alliene could hear her sister scream from Avalon's head, and the other elves were doomed if Avalon got turned upside down. Zachana sensed this too, and swooped close, snatching the two elves in her claws while Verloren leapt next to Alliene. After a moments hesitation she picked up Calaethis as well, then slowed down and held place with Darlantan.

The two dragons snapped and buffeted with their wings. Avalon was bigger and stronger than the other, but the strange Silver rammed him hard with its head, making Avalon skip a beat and stare at the other dragon. He clicked a few words in draconic, and the other clicked back in happy tones.

This Silver was Avalon's sister. She had attacked because she was protecting her eggs. A few more clicks were exchanged, before a whistling sound was heard. The dragon's looked down and saw spears flying thier way. Spears of several dragoons. Avalon's sister screeched and tried to dodge, but all of them streaked for her, and struck her. An earsplitting roar of pain sounded, and the dragon plummeted towards the ground, Avalon following closley, bellowing in rage.

Calaethis Dragonsbane · 05-31-2003, 01:50 PM

Cal felt the Black's talons wrap around his waist, and he immediatly went limp. He was convinced she'd drop him if he moved one muscle wrong. Or that accursed drow would order the Black to drop him, since she wouldn't soil herself by personally killing him. The elf just lay in the Black's claws, with his eyes closed. His lips were moving; but no sound was heared. Tagnik said nothing. Cal was less then an inch of changing into his dragon form, and Zar could feel him trembling, dispite the fact he lay limp in her claws.

Lady Blue03 · 06-01-2003, 06:14 PM

At a command from Alliene, Zachana dove after Avalon, leveling off just above the trees. Drawing her swords, Alliene leapt off head first into the trees. The dragon did a low pass over where Avalon was crouched over his sister, and Verloren leapt off as well, landing in a crouch at his feet.

Zachana did a circle and landed a bit away from Avalon so as not to disturb him, and carefully set down Calaethis before lifting everyone else off her back. She immediatley transformed into her human persona and remained silent.

Distant screams and shouts can be heard in the forest, some of them belonging to Alliene. Avalom was silent, hunched down over his sister, who was still breathing.

Calaethis Dragonsbane · 06-01-2003, 07:54 PM

Calaethis shot a look at Verloren, and asked softly, "Coming?" from his tone, it was clear that he meant "Hunt". The elf paused, "Or will you try to heal her...? he said meaning the dying dragon.

Lady Blue03 · 06-01-2003, 08:03 PM

Tears were streaming from Verloren's eyes,
"I don't know a spell strong enough to heal her. My strongest would just cause her to die more slowly," Avalon let out a howl at the words and Verloren patted a toe in comfort, "Please Calaethis, don't go after Alliene. She's not in any danger."
A shuffling sound in the nearby bushes was heard, then a grunt of pain. There was a breif blue flash of Vilzraquath and a drowish curse, then all was silent. Verloren looked around uneasily.
