Battle Training

[fireglade]

When Darkring and Kohta came back, they had left the area because of all the fighting, they saw another dragon. "Who goes there? Are you the one they called the one-eyed general or something like that?" Darkring asked. Kohta bounded forward to see if all the fighting had ceased. "My father is looking for a dragon named Zarin and a dragon named Chaos, has anyone seen them??" Kohta asked. "Thankgoodness the fighting has stoped, is everyone okay?"

[Awesomoman]

Zarin looked at them. "Im Zarin and you just missed Chaos.As for the fight, one is in HUGE trouble and the other one of them died trying to kill us all.But i was able to keep us form dying too. And who would you be?"

Shya ignored the two dragons who had stopped her sparring match earlier, and took to the sky. She returned to the training dummies where Marsayas had been training earlier that morning. She attacked the nearest one with all her strength and anger, shredding it with her claws until the point where she whipped around, her flaming tail slicing it neatly. She left the burning halves lying on the ground, and moved on to pummel the next one.
Halfway through, her blows grew weaker and slower, and she collapsed, sobbing. One of the ice dragons Starlight had created flew up to her in a cautious manner. It was getting late, and the moving ice sculpture was losing its ability to regenerate. Its body was dripping from the heat, and half of its head had sunken in on itself. Shya looked up as it landed in the growing puddle of tears. The creature's legs steamed as it made contact with the boiling water.
"If you could feel pain, I bet you would hurt almost as much as I do right now," she whispered as she stroked it gently with one claw.
"Unlike mine, though, your pain will end soon." She whirled around and blasted the dragon with all of her remaining energy, fueled by her confused frustration. The flames shot up thirty feet into the air, and then died, leaving a smoking crater. The moving target tried to reform, but it was no longer bound to Starlight, and was unable to make any more than a small chunk of ice floating in place. Shya closed her hand around it and felt it melt for the last time.
Slowly, she stood up and left to rejoin the others.

(OOC: Man, this post was darker than what I usually do. )

Starlight sighed, sad about all the sparing time she could have done but couldn't because of the interruption then the fight. "Oh well, it was fun while it lasted." she thought to herself and absorbed all her armor except for her chest plate. Looking down at the two items embedded in it she continued the personal convo. "Hmmm... I'll have to find something to carry these in. Can't be waring this all the time....maybe I can stop buy a smith in a nearby village and see if he can make me a chain mail type bag to strap to my leg or something..." The fire dragon who had been her parnter walked by and Starlight slipped out of her thoughts to ask. "Hey, you might have heard that my name is Starlight, but I didn't get yours."

[Kauria]

Shya looked up at the sudden voice, startled. She quickly set up a mind block to prevent others from prying into her thoughts.
"Oh, it's you," she sighed.
"My name's Shya-tael, but that's a bit of a mouthful. Everyone just calls me Shya. So you're Starlight, huh? The general likes to tell stories about you. Personally, I'm not sure if they're all true."

Drakine looked around, calling Kantanion's name. He wasn't anywhere in sight. Suddenly Drakine caught a whiff of something, something burned and dead, something like Kantanion's smell. Bolting toward the arena, Drakine zoomed past Zarin, almost knocking him over. Leaping over the stone pillars, Drakine headed into the forest, far away from where Chaos was. The stench was getting stronger. The undergrowth was thick, and then suddenly Drakine burst into a clearing. There was Kantanion, lying dead motionless, one arm strecthed out, a pleading look in his dead, sightless eyes. Hurrying closer, Drakine shooed off the flies and huddled next to Kantanion, tears welling in his eyes. His friend, his only best friend to have survived the war and the journey, taken from him in a single heartbeat. Burn marks covered Kantanion's body, with slash wound, compelling that he was tortured to death. A feral cry echoed from Drakines mouth as he wailed, "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE WAKE UP KANTAN, WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He shook Kantanion, even though he had been dead for a hour now. Crying, full of grief and sorrow, Drakine slouched over Kantanion, crying his eyes out. Hours he sat there, tearless, emotionless, too full of grief to care about his own need. Gryadas started coming, along with flits, drawn by the scent of blood and sorrow. Looking up from Kantanion's pitiful form, a insane look filled Drakine's eyes.

"Zarin? You mean the Zarin from the group I was part of many decades ago from the war?" Darkring asked in surprise. "Its me Darkring! My you look so different!!" Darkring went over to Zarin and carefully looked him over. "This is my son, Kohta." Kohta bowed in deep respect. "It is an honor to meet you, my father has spoken highly of you and all of the other dragons from the group that esembled after the war." Darkring smiled. "So what is this camp you are running?" He asked.

[Kauria]

Shya's head shot up, and she looked around, trying to pinpoint the source of the wail she'd heard.
"Did you hear that?" she whispered to Starlight. "It sounded a little like Drakine... I haven't seen him in a while."
Without waiting for an answer, she took to the air. "Come if you want. It's probably nothing."

(OOC: Sorry that this post didn't really fit up with the timeframe of yours, Darkdragon )

[fireglade]

Kohta's head snapped up. "Father," he whispered. "I must leave, I feel a presence in the future that is calling my name." Darkring nodded. And just at that moment, a huge portal opened in mid-air. "Guess this is my ride." Kohta said. He flew up into the air and went through the portal.

[Kauria]

Shya wheeled through the dark sky, searching for the dragon who had cried out. "Helooo?" she called hoping for a response. She picked up the distant scent of burnt flesh, and hoped an answer did not come from that direction.

(OOC: Naïma's joining!)
Naïma came in for an abrupt landing, her wings creating a small breeze as she touched down.
"Darkring? Is that you?" she gasped as she recognized the large dragon standing in front of Zarin.

[fireglade]

Darkring turned around at the sound of his name. "Naima! It's been to long!! When did you get here?" Dakrring walked over to Naima. "I'm sorry Kohta isn't here, a calling came to him. Zarin, this is Naima, we met a while back and now she's here!"

[Kauria]

"Ah, Zarin, yes." She bowed her head in greeting. "You're the dragon with the energy heart, right?" She leaned in towards Darkring. "Does he really... you know, only have one eye?"

------

"Anyone out there? Drakine? Kantanion?" Shya sighed in disgust. I'll never be able to find them in when it's this dark out. It was probably just a wild animal I heard. She turned to head back to the arena, but decided to take a quick detour to investigate the burning scent.

[fireglade]

Darkring coughed to cover his laugh. "Why yes, he does." He turned back to Zarin. "So, what is this battle training camp thing do?"

[Midnightmoon]

Starlight followed close behind Shya. She looked up at the clear starry sky. "Gosh, it would be a beautiful night to fly if it wasn't for all the tension and trouble." She said aloud. A clearing was starting to appear in the trees as they drew close. And the closer they got the stronger the smell did.

[darkdragon]

Drakine turned to face the enemies, an insane red look in his ice blue eyes. Roaring, Drakine wiped out all off his enemies in his spirit form. (I will reveal that later, not now). Morphing back, Drakine went back to crouching over Kantanion's side, tearless, emotionless, friendless.
