Mormegil

He swallowed the water as though it were the last drink he'd ever have. It began to restore health to his body immediately, much to his astonishment. The effects of the poison were beginning to wane, and he could feel strength returning to his limbs. He tried to stand, but found no ability to. Still, it felt good to know that death was not enevitable this day. Not yet. The poison he had been administered must have been a temporary sedative to immobilize him. He was satisfied with that, as he could not have understood what the daughter of...that dreaded man...would have been doing, owning such poisons for administration to other humans. It was not an honorable way of killing an enemy...that much Mormegil had learned in his studies. He just lay there, on the step that he had stopped on, and listened to the ocean waves beat against the side of the ship.

ooc- *meep* sorry for disappearing for so long guys... all i have to say is... Katsucon *giggles insanely*

ic- Lyulfe blinked, then looked after Rong Er's retreating back with an excruciatingly pained expression. Raising his hand as if to grab onto her sleeve, he faltered. Go after her...explain... he heard in his head, and he didn't hesitate to chase after Rong Er.

"Wait!" he shouted, and grabbed her arm to hold her in place. "What you said before, about going with you..." he hesitated for a moment before continuing. "I'd like to take you up on it. But... there's something I need to... show you first. Then you can decide," he finished in a low voice, not meeting her gaze as he looked at his hand encircling her wrist.

Rong Er

She halted in her breathless sprint as his hand caught her wrist, panting as she turned around to see his bowed head ~ What a poor dear boy he is... ~ Shaking her head somewhat pitifully, she breathed deeply before replying in a calm voice.

"There is really no need for you to humour me, you know." Chuckling a little awkwardly, she continued, "What do you have to show? You must not keep the others waiting too long, for they may take you as my accomplice."

ooc- [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img] my computer is confusing me... it said "you have one private message" 3 different times, and I replied to one of those messages two days ago at school... is it possible for my computer to lagg behind the school computer or something? glitch??

ic- Lyulfe laughed softly for a moment before looking up at Rong Er with a cynical smile on his face. "If they ever considered me to be an "accomplice," then they are more foolish than I thought. And I'm not humouring you." He added dryly, "I rarely do. I would like to go with you but... you can decide what you think in a moment."

He pulled her into a (ooc- conveniently ) abandoned warehouse nearby on the wharf. "What you are about to see must remain a secret until the time is right," he said to her cryptically before dropping her wrist and taking a few steps backwards. Once he was a half-dozen feet away Lyulfe stopped, his eyes half closed as he watched Rong Er.

Nothing seemed to happen until, suddenly, his body seemed to waver (ooc- imagine .Hack... or a game glitch ) and began to glow a wierd azure violet. Beautifully shaped dragon wings erupted from his back in a flash of brilliant amethyst and sea-blue light as his clothing started to melt and mold to his flesh as he metamorphosed, his body becoming taller and larger. Lyulfe's eyes flashed as his teeth grew sharper and his face grew longer, his nose flattening and expanding to meet the snout. As his head became longer and flatter, the back of his skull jutted out to form two scaley ridges that curved back along his head. His arms and legs grew longer and more muscular as his torso expanded, scales forming along it. The wings continued to expand down his back, stopping at the base of his tailbone as a long tail sprouted from that point. His neck lengthened and his fingers stretched into long, pointed claws. The whole effect was achingly beautiful to watch as the humanoid shape changed and became more and more draconic.

After what seemed an eternity, but in reality was only a few moments, Rong Er stared up at the being before her, the unearthly light surrounding it fading. Reared up on its hind legs, the rare and mysterious song dragon stood over her, its neck stretched up and back so it could look down at her. The song dragon's scales glistened an iridescent silver-blue down its slim form, and it looked down at her with wise, azure-violet coloured eyes. There was no sign of Lyulfe anywhere, but the dragon's eyes looked familiar... and almost sad with its haughty, shrewd gaze...

ooc- I must admit I had fun writing this post. I was thinking a combination of Yugioh when the blue eyes white dragon was sacrificed to a.. something-or-other... and the Animorphs series... that girl that can transform pretty and stuff. [img]smile.gif[/img] Yea... anywhoo.. hope you liked ^^

OOC>>> That WAS beautifully done, Skye [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] Top notch!

IC>>> Rong Er

She could only gape as she watched the mirage of colours wrapping, writhing around her soft-hearted friend, sometimes pulling him on the back, so that pieces of his flesh began to stretch out, extend and become a pair of huge bat-like wings. At the same time, the magic tugged at him playfully, so that his entire torso too pulled up, exposing his longish pale-coloured belly and dragging the lower part of his mouth so that a snout appeared. Lastly, his four limbs and tail began to spread out so that he was now beyond recognition, save for those unforgettable eyes, eyes that drew her soul momentarily...

When at last, the room was no longer spinning with uncertain explosions, but instead swinging to a halt with magic dust twinkling in the air, she blinked and looked up again to see the beast that had replaced Lyulfe.

Heaven help me, what have I gotten myself into.... Yet she recognised in herself that whatever it was that she had been dragged into, there was a curious willingness with which she accepted it. Perhaps, if she had been older, loved him deeply and promised to be his wife before this eye-opening episode, she might be repulsed by him now, regret her commitment, or faint, or walk out on him...

But Rong Er was still in the bloom of youth; she had made no rash decisions on her lifelong happiness. She therefore returned the dragon's gaze unwaveringly now, watching him peacefully, marvelling at how terribly magnificent he looked. No, she couldn't decide... couldn't before, and certainly not now. All she wanted was to stand here with him, both of them protected from the trivial cares of the world. The rest could come later.

"I knew there was something different about you, but I couldn't pinpoint it before." She spoke quietly, taking a step towards him. "To say that I'm not shocked by your identity would be a lie." Smiling awkwardly, she went on, "But I'm honoured to have gained your friendship, Lyulfe. After all the scrapes I've been through, you still care for me..."

With a sigh, she came to a pause. Looked down at her hands before reverting her silent gaze to his glittering eyes.

OOC>>>Skye, you watch Yu-Gi-Oh? Please talk to me about it on my post in the books forum!

[Skydracgrrl]

ooc- I'll try to get over there if I can, Larry [img]smile.gif[/img]
Wow, all I have to say is, it was really hard for me to write a post for this... I dunno why...

ic- The dragon blinked its reptilian eyes slowly at Rong Er before slowly bending its neck, so its face was near hers. Its nose snuffled against her cheek, ticklingly, before it redrew its head again.

I'm going to transform into humanoid form again... you may wish to turn around, my form does not appear with clothes on, and females seem to become embarrassed by this, a dry, humourous voice echoed in her head.

Once she was turned around, her shadow was thrown into relief in front of her as the bright lights appeared again. After a moment Rong Er heard Lyulfe's voice.

"Alright, you can turn around again," he said. Slightly tan and with a moderately muscular physique, "elven" Lyulfe appeared as he did prior to the transformation, dressed in the same outfit as before. Looking more closely at him, however, Rong Er was able to discern small details that had passed her notice before she knew about his... true form. The fingers on his hands were more long and slender than average, and tapered at the ends of his fingertips. His teeth were slightly sharper than was normal, and his brown hair had a somewhat blue tint to it, reminiscent of the colour of his scales. His eyes were still the same peculiar shade of purple azure, but the pupils seemed more narrow, by just a hair. These eyes were currently looking at her with an eyebrow arched. They seemed to understand what she was now noticing, and were resigned to her inspection.

"I am ready to go where you will," Lyulfe finally broke the silence. "I left the vial on the ship where Skye can find it, and she will lead them to... Peach Blossom Island. We have already discussed it," he finished, in explanation, then waited for her response.
