The Refuge

[Wil]

Here is where most people will post. The group is here. You can leave the group, and post somewhere else. I don't want a single thread going on while everything else goes to waste. Try to post in more than a single thread.

Sol'Lux was looking into the portal from the other side, as well as everyone else. Suddenly, Meressa screamed: "Ezalba! What is she doing there?! Chaos said she is here!" It was true. The golden hatchling appeared and ask dragons on the other side if she can help. Few moments after it, the portal destabilized and closed, sealing the way for Blaze, Thoron and Ezalba.
"What happend?" somebody asked. "The portal collapsed..." said Sol'Lux, "What will happen to them?" "We can only guess..."somebody replied. Sol'Lux looked at Meressa and her desperate face. She thought it must be horrible for her, and couldn't imagine herself in Meressa's position. She came closer to her and said "Head up, she will be fine. After all, she is your sister. I think you want to go find her, but take my adviace and take a rest. After that, i will follow you." Then she walked away.
She took off and fly away from the group. She saw a glade in nerby forest and made sure noone saw her. Then she landed. She was tired. When she packed her wings, she looked into the sun. Her eyes started to glow as she began to absorb light energy. Lifepower and warm feeling slowly poured trough her body, healing wounds and refreshng. When she finished her ritual, she returned to the group.

Starlight just flew around in the sky, dancing around without a care in the world. And why shouldn't she? The group had finely reached their destination safely. As she swirled she breathed out a fine mist of ice crystals that landed on her scales a she flew, making her sparkle in the setting sun. As the sun last rays hit her her parents words whispered in her head, "Don't forget Star, practice all that we have taught you or you will have to pay the price later in battle." Sighing she began her decent to a clearing away from the group of dragons preparing to sleep. As she landed, she she took a deep breath, chose a a large tree a little ways away, then launched herself at it. First she fired a beam of ice from her right hand, then her left. making small ice disks she she swirled in circles, flinging the disks all the while. Next she was going to charge the "enemy" and to a forward flip to hit it with her tail and hardened fin that ran down her back. As she charged she noticed a green dragon coming out of the trees right in front of her target. Starlight tried to scid to a halt but triped on her own feet and somersaulted to a stop in front of the imitated dragon.
"What do you think your doing?" the dragon hissed. She stood there with a clump of assorted plants in her hands. "I'm practicing my battle techniques. I'm Starlight, what's your name?" Starlight responded cheerfully. "Well be more careful we have enough injoured and exhosted dragons as it is." the dragon scolded." as she started to walk in the groups direction she called over her shoulder, "My names Ivy." Starlight just stared at Ivys retreating back, smiling.

Zarin became bored of just sitting around, he felt fine right now. He got up and looked around, he felt a little out of it. Then, he saw a giant rock. He smiled. "Ivy probably wont mind if i bench a few". Zarin went up to the rock and heaved it up, then started lifting it like a giant weight. "Oh yeah, this will do nicely." He then continued to lift it up and down.

"Hey you, I told you not to move!" Ivy yelled. "Do I have to go find a herb to knock you out, so you can rest? Just think of it this way. The more you move the more horrible herbs you have to eat to get better." Her good mood had gone and she was back to her usual self. "I can't wait to get to sleep." Ivy thought. "Since going through the portal she has had to try to control Zarin so he could get better, searching for herbs, almost getting frozen by that Starlight dragon, and to top it all off I'm doing all this on almost no energy."

Scourge was confused about everything so he walked to the fire dragon fortress to look for a nice lava pit to sink to the bottom of so he can recharge and repair his mace.

Meressa sank to her knees, feeling weak. Ezalba...and Blaze...and Thoron. All of them were gone now; there was no way to get back to her sister...
She heard a dragon speak to her, and she looked up. It was a shining golden dragon, and spoke kindly to her. It was good to know that someone was willing to follow her.
Meressa stood up, shakily. She saw Ivy looking exhausted, and she healed her with a water orb. She was really getting better at that, it would come in handy. That was when Meressa decided to stay with this group, no matter what. they seemed kind, and would help her find her sister, and hopefully help her recreate the water clan: the thought of other water dragons made her excited. But first things first, Meressa had to find her sister, and help these dragons. She slowly walked around, looking for any other injured dragons.

[Midnightmoon]

"Thanks for the energy Meressa." Ivy called. Setting down her herbs she started to sort through them. "So few herbs so many dragons." she thought. "Well we'll have to make due for the moment." 'OK Zarin, time to eat up." Ivy instructed as she placed a small pile of herbs before him. "Since you have no fatal flesh wounds all you have to do now is eat these, then take a rest and you'll be back to your annoying self in no time. In the morning your going to be of some use and find me some more herbs."

Meressa flew up over a hill, into a valley with a gurgling stream and flowers all around. She slowly dropped into the stream, refreshing herself after healing Ivy. She looked around. The valley was quite peaceful, with some birds chirping cheerfully, while fish leapt out of the water after flies, splashing back in. She sighed. Wouldn't it be nice if the whole Dragon Essence could be like this? Peaceful, war-free, everyone coexisting? Suddenly, a cry broke the silence. Meressa jumped out of the water and into flight, circling above the valley. On her left, the dragons were settling down. But on her right...

Meressa flew a bit closer. She gasped. There was a human village! Worse, they were all armed with some kind of weapons, long sharp hollow metal sticks. Meressa dove into the stream, which luckily ran next to the village. She became invisible, in order to hear what the humans had to say. There was a lot of unimportant talk, but Meressa perked up when she heard a familiar name mentioned.

"...Eloyn, the traitor, had gone to the dragons, to tell them of our location. Such an act must be punished with death. Therefore, at sunset tomorrow night, we shall execute her, and hang her head on the outside walls of the town, to warn the terrible dragons what happens to traitors...and what will happen to them."

Scourge felt the presents of a human village near by so he ignored the lava pool and started to walk to the village. Scourge hasn't been to a human village for a long time so he's going to enjoy his time destroying the mortals living there so he began to run toward the village with a evil smile on his face with such joy on thinking what he's going to do to them.

Sol'Lux was helping Ivy with healing entire day, passing her energy to badly injured and exhausted dragons to help them heal, refreshing herself on the sun over and over. Then, she saw Meressa using water orbs to heal others. "Hm, its worth trying..."she said, and looked around. She found a wounded tree and came closer to it. She touched it with her nose, closed her eyes and focused. A wriggling and slow beam of light formed around the tree. It was healed, but the spell took too much power from Sol'Lux. "Well, at least i can do it, but i think i will have to practice it first. Maybe Meressa can help me a bit." she said and went to the skies.
She flew in circle around the group, making diameter bigger every turn. Then she found her in the watter, disappearing right after she spotted her. Sol'Lux looked around. There was a human village. "It has been a long time since i looked at one of you, pinkskins."she thought. Why is Meressa hiding from them? She flew closer, covered in clouds. The humans were armed. "I thought only human mages were attacking dragons. What are these guys doing?" This thought vanished when she heard footsteps down there. It was Scourge. She landed and vanished in forest.

[Midnightmoon]

Starlight stood gasping for air. "I think that is enough training for one day" she said out loud. turning around she headed back to the group. looking around she she saw a green dragon that was trying to sneek away. He apeared to be trying to get away without Ivy knowing. Skipping over to him she bounced in front of him and said in a energetic voice, "What'cha doing?"

[Awesomoman]

"SSSSHHHH!" Zarin grabbed the young dragons mouth before she could finish. "If Ivy knew i was trying to get out of work she'd kill me." Zarin saw that the dragon looked very tired. "well, maybe you could help me out, ill just say I'm showing you were the hot springs are for you to relax." Zarin then looked in her eyes and saw how energetic she was. "You remind me a lot like.......well, me."

[Nohiki]

Sol'Lux's mind was tearing appart.

Should i save the humans from scourge? I have the power to save these lives and there is enough of them so its worth it!

NO! You once decited to help dragons, so help dragons!

But... But its at least 30 wasted lives!

And what will they do if you save them, they will eliminate the dragons and the whole species will be extinct!

That was right solution. She won't do anything. But then she sensed a child inside one building. "I can not... allow this... to happen..." she said and closed her eyes, giving vision to the young girl in the village. She didnt show her any image of scourge, only her position and told her to come, and that she must not be afraid. In few seconds, a girl came from behind the bush. She looked at Sol'Lux and stopped. There was fear and respect in her eyes, but she didn't run away. Sol'Lux bowed and said: "Come quickly. That village is in danger and there is nothing i can do to save it, but at last let me help YOU, plaese." and she put her wing in front of the girl. She said: "No way, i must go back, and warn everyone!" "There is no time, trust me, as much as i want to help, there is nothing dragon or human can do! You must stay with me to survive, please, dont be silly! I will take care of you!" Girl was unsure, but finally climbed up on the golden dragon. "What will we do now?" she asked. "Silence, now we will hope the demon won't notice our presence."

[Midnightmoon]

Since the dragon still held onto her muzzle she just smiled, eyes twinkling. Nodding she wiggled out of his grasp and out of reach. "How naughty. Let's go then. My names Starlight."
