Hollow House

Asmodeus backed away from the Count's hand. "Now wait just a darned second there! That was uncalled for! After all, wasn't it YOU who summoned me? Not my fault Exilification Clause N 8-2/1-0 prevents me from returning to the Underworld!" he cried, put out.

[darkdragon]

"Oh, look, he woke up again. No, dragon, I did not summon you. You must have the wrong Count. Please leave." The Count shook his head and went on. He mounted the carriage waiting outside, with Sola close behind. In a few minutes they arrived at where the cages are. As Sola got out of the carriage, he spotted the three dragons. One looks unconcious, another depressed, and the third one was angry. Sola stayed behind the Count, hoping he wouldn't be spotted.

[Morty]

"Really? I could have sworn it was you." but the Count and his pet were already leaving.
"Not so fast, there, mister glum." said Asmodeus, sticking his head through the window from the roof of the carriage. "What's this all about? SOMETHING told me to come here. I'm just following the call of duty." His eye was caught by the rows of cages as they trundled to a stop. "Ooh, who are THEY?" he exclaimed in delight.

[Zetherus]

Pandora saw the count in his expensive cloths then she got up showing her teeth at the soldiers than she began to furiously growl as the count approached ,"What do you want with us spoiled human what do you need us dragons for, are you building an army or are we for slavery with your special weapons to command us"? She said wondering what the count was thinking.

[Morty]

"That's what I'd like to know." said Asmodeus, hopping off the roof of the carriage. "But I DID hear him say something about displaying rare dragons... Didn't I?" he wondered to himself. "Dreary place, this is.." he muttered, glancing around the clearing with dismay.

[darkdragon]

The count stared down at the black dragon. "You have no need to know, dragon. You'll find out soon enough." He turned to the captain of the Hunters. "Hmmm...three dragons in one hour. Nice quota today. Unfortunatly, Me and Solas are going down to hunt dragons also. Bring the dragons inside the castle. You know what to do." Then the Count turned to Solas. "Solas, stop cowering behind me. The dragons can't hurt you." Shyly, the small dragon came around the Count's legs. Solas stared at the dragons, wide eyes with fear.

Kana twisted around in her net so she could face the newcomers from a relatively comfortable position. The silver spines on her back flicked up in interest when she caught sight of the little ice dragon by the Count's legs. She grinned widely. "Hey there," the energy dragoness greeted him cheerfully, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Sola, is it? My name's Kana."

[Morty]

"Hunt dragons?" Asmodeus repeated. "Never knew it was a sport. Wait... Did you summon me, just to hunt me?" Asmodeus tilted his head and smiled. "Your master's a funny bloke, Sola, I'll tell you that." he said, nudging the little dragon.

[darkdragon]

Sola went closer to the cage, as much as his little chain would allow. Why was the dragon smiling? And why was she so cheerful and polite to him? Filled with suspicion, Sola backed away from the cage. The Count smiled at the dragon. "Sola is my personal pet, dragon. He is the rarest of my collection, an elemental." Turning away, the Count began strapping on black specialized Hunter armor as Sola's chain was attached to a special gauntlet of the Count.

[Morty]

"Say, what sort of dragons are we hunting?" asked Asmodeus, drifting around the cages with interest. "Hellooo?" The Count wasn't listening. "Hey, big shot, am I invisible or something?" he said, clonking the Count on the head experimentally. "Empty, just as I thought." Asmodeus shook his head sadly, and went to peer into Kana's cage, blinking owlishly. "So THIS is the kind of dragon we're hunting?"

[darkdragon]

The Count turned around and said, "That's my helmet you idiot, and you are not a part of this. Oh, and touch those cages and you'll lose any powers and strength you have. Besides, I did not summon you. Go bother some other Count, like Count Taka. He's an idiot like yourself, and he's the most likely to have summoned you."

[Morty]

"No, I don't think it was him, County old pal, because the voice who called me sounded like they had a poker up their stiff old derrière, and you fit the type to a tee." said Asmodeus, drumming his fingers on the Count's helmet. "Wouldn't you agree?" he asked, turning towards the small blue dragons.

[Kauria]

Kana finally succeeded in sitting up properly, despite the net, and tilted he head in thought. "I don't think I really know what that would sound like," she decided after a moment. "Do you happen to have any food, by the way?"

[Morty]

"I'd show you what it sounds like, but sadly, I don't have a poker." he said, patting the Count affectionately. "Looks like you get off easy today, County old pal. And no, I don't have any food on me. I'm not a lime tree, like my dear old mum, bless her soul."
He shook his head again at the thought. "Hmm, do you happen to know where we are, by any chance?"

[Awesomoman]

"Argue all you want. Once you get your way you'll realize all time that will be gone forever, and that your victory will be a short and shallow one in the long run." Ragnor said not even looking up at the others. "Your just wasting breaths that can't even be used."
