The Journey

[TodayIsMine]

OCC: Mink, you're water angel? So you made a new account...alright.

BIC: Drgn shot his head back at Roki for a quick second, then returned to his fierce position against the man. "So you're all out after Roki too? Well, you will all have to fight me and the rest of my group if you wish to even lay a finger on Roki and Liinna!" Drgn's sword kept still against the man's throat.

Roki must have been living as a homeless girl because she was constantly on the run from these 'slavers'...just as Liinna seems to be... Drgn then looked at Liinna's eyes as she held onto him from his side. I will not let them die by these men. These girls -though they may have a story - must live long lives and grow old in happiness...I have a feeling that I will have to arrange for a quest to this 'slaver's guild'...we will have to whipe them all out. He finally thought, holding his sword boldly and waiting for a reply from the men.

If the reply was negative, and the men started to try and fight back, Drgn would move his sword closer to impale the man's throat. If it was positive, and they ran off...Drgn would leave them until later.

[Jagan Eye]

The Loner watches the dragon hoping to slay it. The dragon's fang is deathly and he wants it. He then sees someone. Hoping for a friend it turns out to be the enemy. The Loner makes a run for it but the enemy has noticed him.

[sw33t ang3l]

"Huh." she said. "Fine. I'll join you."

[The Lost Angel]

Spike saw Drgn with his sword ready to implae one of the men in the throat if they made any movements towards Roki and Liinna.Spike had his hand on his staff just in case they showed violence.Suddenly when he put his hand on his staff his eyes started to twitch.'Why now'he thought and he ran past the men into a group of tree's and he transformed into a full demon.

[Mink]

Roki looked in wonder at the stranger that ran past them and in to the woods. But she didnt care much about him. She was still scared of the group of men. She was also worried if they tried any thing, drgn was sure to kill them. She couldnt stand people dieing, expecaly right in front of her. Roki looked down and waited for the men to answer drgn.

[sw33t ang3l]

Shayan made a tent and went inside it. She sat in there, doing her meditations, saying "Azara Mentrium Synthos" all over again. As she meditated, she stopped. "An evil spirit." she said to herself. Shayan ran out of the tent. There was a huge evil demon out there. "Mere weapons do not defeat a demon such as this." she said to everyone. "Crystal Gauge." she said as she stuck out her right hand. The beast roared. It wasn't really effective. "Hmm." she said. "This demon is much harder than I thought."

[red storm]

ooc notice: Hanyou means half demon

The group of slavers backed away when Drgn started to emit a very toxic aura. The first whispered to the others. "I say we run like hell, good guys are generally true to their word. And since Liinna now has a master, she no longer is our problem."

"But what about that other girl?" One whispered.

"She was just a litle something we tried to pick up on the road remember? If she was part of our experiments, you'd notice. Our clients like slaves with ears and tails."

"So... we split?" another asked.

"Unless you want to die at the hands of a very angry hanyou." The first shot back.

"No objections." The other returned.

The first turned back to Drgn. "Very well, you may keep them. Officially I must say to enjoy your free gift, and we would hope to do some more finaciel busines with you in the future. Inofficially, I will thank you for taking this problem of our chest. I cannot guarantee you have seen the last of me, but I for one, certainly do hope so."

After this, he and the other slavers turned and dissapeared into the bushes again.

[Mink]

Roki lifted her head and looked releved. She was glad no one got hurt or killed. Roki glanced at liinna and drgn to see what they would do next.

[TodayIsMine]

Drgn kept a straight glare at the man in front of him as he spoke. Problem? he thought when the man told of his burden being removed from him. Drgn waited for the men to retreat. As they ran off, Drgn turned his head to face Liinna, who was still holding onto him. "Liinna...those were...people from a biological laboratory...I can tell you were involved in an experiment...but you still hold the heart of a woman, a human, and a friend...so there is nothing to be ashamed of..."

Drgn's mind turned back to the thought of Liinna being a problem. "And...Liinna, what did the man mean when he referred to you as a problem? Is there anything I should know of you before we continue?" Drgn stared seriously into her eyes. His aura of anger dissipated and Drgn returned to normal.

What happened just now...? I was...more powerful...than I have ever been. I was just augmented in strength and my mana increased greatly. Is it because one of my group was...in danger?

[The Lost Angel]

Spike walked out of the woods thankfully he didnt go crazy.He saw the people run away and he wondered where they were going.He walked up to the group."I have something to tell you guys"he said looking at the crystal inbedded in his hand."This crystal....makes me go crazy"he sorda blurted out and showed the crystal to them.

[red storm]

Liinna shook her head "No, it's not exactly a problem.. really. It's just... well... When me and a few of my sisters escaped, we were ordered to be hunted down and brought back. After all, I am a genetically engineered slave. It's simply impossible for me to live without a master for a long period of time. I've had some people helping me, but they thought I was kidding so they send me of after a few days. and they had to hunt me down because a dead slave means no profit. But I kept running, and after I learned some things about fighting, I kept fighting. So I was getting more and more expensive to hunt down. I don't think the slavers will actually hunt me now that I have a master, but maybe someone of the higher-ups will be able to find someone who is willing to pay a lot of money for an obedient dog-girl like me. If that happens, then they might come after me again."

She snorted. "You'd think that they'd at least value their own codes, but in reallity, they only code that counts for the slavers guild is: Everything is acceptable, for the right price." She sighed. "But now I don't have to worry about that for the moment, because now I have a master." She grabbed Drgn's arm and clung to it. Tail wagling. "Thank you Drgn-sama."

[Ninja Hatake Kakashi]

As Nel and Hatake travel down the road they enter the Lost Forest. Hatake then begins to ask Nel a question. “You know how to fight Nel?” asks Hatake. “Of course I do. I use a secret magical Technique called syomboligy.” Replies Nel. “What in the world is that?” Hatake says curiously. “It’s a magical skill not many people know about and know how to use. It’s an art of battle and healing.” Says Nel. Hatake then think to himself, “Must be really herd to master.” Nel then with a smirk on her face says, “It is very difficult to learn.” “How in the world did u know I was thinking!” says Hatake surprised. “Symboligy also lets me read peoples minds.” says Nel. Hatake then laughs a bit then is quite for awhile. When they finalley reach the entrance to the Lost Forest Nel then asks Hatake, “Do you mind telling me about tour past?” Hatake is then Quite for moment. “I’m sorry Nel. I just can’t talk about it. Don’t u even think about reading my mind and try finding out. It really personal to me.” Replies Hatake. “Okay, it’s none of business anyways. I just wanted to no more about you. You Harley ever talk. I just wanted to know why. I promises that I will never read your mind trying find out your past.” says Nel. Hatake then says nothing and then pulls out a shuriken. He then looks at Nel and says, “When the times comes to be right, I’ll tell you. For now though let’s be on or guard and get through this forest.” Nel then just nods at him then grabs the horse’s rains then they continue inside the dark Lost Woods. Hatake then stops then looks at Nel nervously then says, “Do you smell that?” ………

[sw33t ang3l]

The demon left after Shayan attacked it. Shayan sensed something wrong. The demon was somewhere out farther, seeking its revenge on people who defied him. Shayan jumped up and left. 'The beast will attack me.' she thought. Shayan had a tinge of fear, but for a reason, it went away.

She found the beast, only to seek revenge to him because he killed so many innocent people. As she approached him, she spoke some words in her Cat language. No one understood. She slahed him, giving him a glowing scar. The demon roared. "Fire Blast!" she said, aiming for the heart. The beast slashed her and she was thrown to the ground. "Ugh." she moaned but still, she fought.

"Crystal Gauge!" she yelled, aiming for the heart again. At last, after a hard battle, she was left on the ground. She failed to kill this beast and it killed many people once again.

[TodayIsMine]

Drgn smiled slightly as Liinna grabbed onto his arm again. She...feels safe around me... He looked down at her, "Liinna...I am glad to be a help and I am encouraged by your sense of security around me...but I will only act as your master around the slavers...nowhere else. I am not your master...you have a life; you must live it. I am not to order you around like you were at the guild...I am only here to help you and be a friend..."

Drgn turned a little and gave Liinna a small hug. "If you need a master to live, you may call me sama...but if you need one to feel fulfilled...I will help you to forget the troubles of your past..." Drgn let go of her slowly.

[Jagan Eye]

The Loner takes out his mytril sword for protection as the enemy comes closer. Then something hits him. The Loner turns around and sees 4 dragons comming his way. He was surrunded and there was no means of escape. He needed help. The dragons started breathing fire and The Loner was being damaged. He saw someone else comming at that moment.

That person threw a crystal and the dragons ran away. Then the person headed for the enemy with a knife. The enemy fled. "Hallo," the person said. "I am Ruway." The Loner had collapsed for his burns were deep.

[sw33t ang3l]

Shayan woke up and saw a man begining to heal her wounds. "Ah! Let go of me!" she yelled. Shayan got up. She felt invaded. "But your wounds-" he said. "I'm fine. My body's much different than yours." she said as she showed where once her wounds were. They disappeared. Shayan was about to leave and she said "But thanks anyway." She jumped up and left.

[g0d_of_death]

o.c.c. sorry, i havn't been able to get onto AF for a while. Easter Break. I should be on most of this week though.

b.i.c. Marth looked over to Shiori and smiled as she looked for a way in. "You know... I could make us a door..." The dragon said, as he walked over to Shiori and continued to smile. "Do you want to search for a door, or shall I do this the easy way?" Marth asked as he looked along the side of the mountain for any strange rock formations. Marth knew he had all day to look for the door, but he wasnt sure if they'd find one.

Just then, the black dragon felt a powerful aura coming their way, unsheathing his blades, he stepped infront of Shiori and looked up to the sky to see the oncoming foe. He was surprised at what he saw. It was a red dragon... a dragon of fire. It flew straight into the side of the mountain, somehow entering it. "Shiori... did you see that...?" Marth asked as he sheathed his blades and looked over to the wall that the dragon had flown through.

[Chibi-chan]

Shiori stared, looking rather dumbfounded as she slowly nodded. She had definately seen what Marth did, and now, her wings were out once again. The half dragon flew to the spot where the fire dragon had colided with the hard rock and placed her hand on it. However, her hand went right through, as if there was nothing there. "...An illusion," she murmured softly, looking to Marth and motioning for him to come and join her.

[The Lost Angel]

Spike was walking back and forth in the same spot as if he were trying to think.Finally Spike just walked off into the forest and sat under the tree looking at the night sky."It's so beautiful"he said to himself.

[g0d_of_death]

Marth was very surprised at what Shiori had found, but without questioning it, he let his wings come out of his back, and he flew over to the wall. He wasn't sure of what to expect when they entered, but seeing as how Shiori was partially a dragon of fire, he didn't expect that there shouldn't be too much trouble; unless these dragons were like those back at the light shrine.

Marth took Shiori's hand, and looked at her. "Are you ready...?" The dragon wasn't sure if Shiori wanted to enter, she might be looked down upon, just as she was at the Elvin village. He was anxious to see what kind of city these dragons had in the mountain, but was ready to turn and leave with Shiori at any given moment.

[Ninja Hatake Kakashi]

As Hatake felt then evil presence come he pulled out his shuriken. Nel had then began to build up her symboligy and place a protective spell on both of them.Hatake then jumped up into a tree and looks ahead and saw teh demon coming for them "Brace your self Nel!" Nel then nodded at him waiting for the demon to appear.The demon finalley reached them then hatake then jumped ontop of it then shoved his shuriken in its eye. Nel had then used a poisen spell on the demon. "lets let the demon be,it should die real soon." Nel said.Hatake then nodded and they walked off then Hatake looked back then continued down the forest road...

[Chibi-chan]

Shiori looked a little more anxious than she had been at the previous places that they had come to. She nodded to Marth and went through into the volcano's illusionary wall, and was glad to see that there wasn't anything warding off any other dragons, like Marth. She was quite intriged and excited by what she saw.

There were hardly any huts about, most of the living spaces were carved right into the rock of the volcano, that was really quite large inside compared to outside. There were thousands and thousands of areas that were once solid rock, long since hollowed out. It was slightly warmer inside of this volcano, than it was outside, and Shiori saw why. There was still magma, though only at the very bottom of the volcano. She didn't even know if she should dub it as magma, considering it seemed a little more solid.

[sw33t ang3l]

OOC: srry guys this is a short post. just a reminder I will not be on so much tomorrow because I have to go back to skool. btw guys, I'm with you in the group.

[Ninja Hatake Kakashi]

As Hatake and Nel continue down the road the y see a yound man in the forest my himself looking in the sky.Nel then replies "Hey Hatake lets go see whats ammater with him." Hatake then nods they catch up with him then hatake says, "why hello there mind telling us your name?"....

[The Lost Angel]

"Hello my name is Spike,nice to meet ya"he said and got up on his feet."Whats your name"he asked extending his hand out towards them.

[TodayIsMine]

OCC: that's no problem Sweet Angel, and i know you're with the group...so dont worry about it.

BIC: Drgn decided to stop waiting around and began to walk, motioning the others to follow him with his hand. He headed for the forest to see if they could find Kiori's brother, finally. Drgn looked back, taking a quick glance at Kiori's expression...it seemed worried. We must get to the forest quickly... Drgn turned around and called out to the group, "Whoever has wings shall carry someone without wings...so we can get to the forest faster. Whoever can move quickly on foot will follow with me. We must hurry!"

Drgn turned back around and began to walk, waiting for the group to organize themselves.

[The Lost Angel]

"I can fly"i yelled back from where i was and looked at the crystal inbedded in my hand."Well i gotta go"i told the guy in front of me."Maybe you can join"i said and grow my wings.I held the crystal to my chest and grew angel wings out of my back."Ok im ready"i said and walked behind Drgn.

[Vampireness]

Vampireness was startled seeing as someones brother had gone missing and decited to help. Not knowing at all how he vanished she still consintrated at whats going on and getting as much information as posible.

" i can move fast on ground but i cannot fly but im willing to help out" she says cautiously buy quickly.
"My names yumi and i see yours is drgn am i right? well lets stop wasting time and lets get to the forest." she said then smiled.

[g0d_of_death]

Marth was amazed at what he saw when he entered the mountain side. There were dragons in their natural form, and others in the humanoid form. They seemed to live in perfect peace and harmony with each other, and there didn't seem to be any conflict in the large group. Everything was so perfect, and Marth was beginning to wonder why Shiori's mother would have left this place.

So far the two hadn't been noticed, but Marth didn't think it would matter if they were. These dragons seemed to be in completely at ease with everything, and it seemed that they would surely respect and be hospitable to all outsiders. "This..." Marth started, then paused for a moment, "This is like my old village, only without any anger... without any struggle or feuds or constant alert of attacks by other regions... this is the perfect world that my people strived for..." Marth was shocked to see that the plan the elder of his village had, could actually take form.

"Why would anyone want to leave such a perfect home?" The stunned dragon asked as he continued to look around.

[Chibi-chan]

"Obviously my mother wanted to for some reason or another," Shiori muttered under her breath, sounding a little bit angery about the fact that she could have grown up here. Then again, if she had lived such a nice and sheltered life like this, when would she have met Marth. Most likely never, she knew. So she supposed that when all was said and done, it was a good thing she had been treated so badly, in an odd sort of way.

One of the dragons, a fire one, spotted them and stopped. His eyes rested upon Marth, looking rather confused. He looked like he was about to say something, but then he caught sight of Shiori and somehow knew right away what she was. "...Fire and light mixed? Yet, I have never seen you around here. And I have most definately not seen a black dragon such as this one before, either," he mumbled, glancing at Marth again. "Where have you two come from? I can understand why the girl is here, she is partly one of us, but what about you?" he asked, directing the questions at Marth.

[g0d_of_death]

Marth looked over at the dragon and smiled as he asked his question. The black dragon could think of so many things he could say to the fire dragon to upset him and start a bout, but now seemed not the time to instigate violence. "My name is Marth, as you stated, a black dragon. This," He said as he looked over to Shiori "is Shiori. We've come to this place together to meet Shiori's mother's people, I suppose." Marth too wasn't so sure of why Shiori wanted to come to this place. He assumed that Shiori just wanted to get to know her mother's family, and not have to think about her father as her only family.

"Where we have come from..." Marth continued to answer the questions, somewhat confused by this one. "...Well, I guess you could say we come from a small group... a family of different races, travelling together with no real destination, but to complete our own journeys." Marth said.

[Chibi-chan]

"My mother," Shiori said softly, steping forward. "She used to live here. Her name was Eveleen," she told the dragon, holding onto Marth's hand as she spoke.

"...Eveleen?" the dragon asked, crossing his arms and looking at Shiori in disbelief. He walked closer to her, taking in her features. When he reached her, he gently took ahold of Shiori's chin and tilted her head back so that he could get a good look at her eyes. "You have her eyes," he murmured, sounding like he was off in a dream. "...Not only her eyes, but so much more as well. You could possibly be a clone of her, if you cut your hair," he whispered.

[TodayIsMine]

OCC: vampireness...please stop posting in my RPG until you sign up and are approved. you seem like an alright player, but I would like for you to sign up first.

BIC: Drgn looked back at the man with the crystal in his hand. "You can fly? Then find someone to carry and follow me. Hold onto them tightly or you shall be punished." Drgn walked and gradually began to speed up. Everyone seemed to be getting ready to follow, so he decided to run up ahead and wait by a large boulder in the field. "I will wait here for them to arrive and meet with me..." Drgn told himself as he leaned softly against the rock, resting his head on the palm of his hand.

[andross]

Kiori ran ahead with Drgn and urged him on once more to try an dget to the forest sooner.
"are we almost there?" He asked Drgn worriedley reminding ghimself that every second of there timne wasted was a second put closer to his brother's death.

[The Lost Angel]

"If anybody needs a ride come on"he said waiting there for somebody if anybody needed a ride."Thats easy for you to say your not controlled by a crystal"i muttered under my breath.

[Jagan Eye]

They walked together but few words were said. Everywhere they walked scilence preeched into the open air. Ruway was also a mercenary like The Loner but Ruway called him Satsuyo. "You are searching fer the last world?" Ruway asked.

"You never know if it is there or not but I will search till I die," The Loner answered back. He thought that if he found it he could find all that he hed lost. He was so used to being hated he felt uncomfortable with Ruway. They ate cold fish for dinner and slept on a leaf mat. The day had not been very succesful.

[Ninja Hatake Kakashi]

"Hey there Spike my names Hatake nice to meet you." Hatake then points over to Nel "and this is Nel." Nel then remains motionless "so what brings you here in the woods spike?"

[The Lost Angel]

"Ah im with this group"i said pointing over to a couple people."Nice to meet Hatake and Nel"i said and bowed my head."I gotta go though"he said and walked towards the group."Are you guys ready yet Drgn is already ahead of us"he said and looked at everybody

[Mink]

OOC: I think im gonna quit ..... Just say that I started to travel on my own again ... thanks for letting me join any way ... it was fun. See ya ^^

[the_otaku]

occ:sorry guys ive been really busy lately.if i ever get enough time to rejoin the rp i will...one day..........eventually......XD

[TodayIsMine]

OCC: hatake...this is getting really confusing. how did u end up with the group? and to you mink...thx for playing. i hope to see you again some time on the site. ihope you enjoyed your time in the RPG. otaku...same to you.

BIC: Drgn looked at Kiori, who had raced along with him. When Drgn was asked if they were almost there, Drgn replied, "We will be another five minutes if everyone hurries. I also fear for your brother's life...I do not like to hear of death...especially if it effects me or a group member."

Drgn looked at Kiori with a face of impatience, "Well...I'm getting annoyed now. I think you and I should continue onward and allow Raina to lead the rest of them. She and I are the only ones who seem to know the way, so as long as she stays, the group should be fine." Drgn pushed off of the boulder he was leaning on and began to run farther toward the forest.

[Vampireness]

ooc: ok we got things figured out...sorry bout that i knew i sighned up 4 it ^^' ne way.

Bic: Vampireness smiled at drgn asking to see if she could join in the search.
"i hope its ok if i help you." she said softly. "but i have no idea whats going on eccept that someones brother has gone missing,can u please give me a few details? if thats ok with you" She sat down on a rock looking up at him. she starts to think "what is going on? what happend? how..." leaveing so many questions un-answered.

[g0d_of_death]

Marth looked at the dragon as he examined Shiori. He held ightly onto her hand, and was ready to attack the dragon if he decided to be hostile. Marth didn't feel uncomfortable around the dragon of fire, and this dragon seemed to know a lot about Shiori's mother. "...Who are you... and what do you know about Eveleen?" Marth asked, on behalf of Shiori. Shiori didn't seem to comfortable talking to this dragon, so he took it upon himself to say something, and find out who they were talking to.

"You speak about Shiori's mother as though you were her father... yet you don't seem old enough." Marth was confused, and wondered why this dragon would know so much about Eveleen, even though she hadn't been her all of Shiori's life... about 18 years.

[Ninja Hatake Kakashi]

occ: i was walking through the forest. i was in there then i got into a battle then i met spike?

Hatake then waves good bye to spike then him and Nel continue down the road. Alone hoping to leave the forest soon.....

[Jagan Eye]

The Loner stared at Ruway as he tied several knots on a fishing line. "Ha," Ruway laughed. "You have no ides what im doing. Well Satsuyo, I don't know either." Ruway lives his own way of life with his own rules. He is really different. The Loner stared off into the open but then something hit him hard on the head.

[Armegeddon_Raina]

"...........Drgn....my back hurts," I say as i rub under my sword, "can some on rub my back for me? i dont feel too good...." i mumble as my sight goes a little bit Blue tinged..... "whoa..." i say as i collapse to the ground

OOC: Hey pplz im Baaaaack

[Chibi-chan]

The dragon slowly lowered Shiori's chin and let go of it, looking to Marth. "Eveleen was supposed to be my mate," he stated, narrowing his eyes. "However, she decided to leave and never come back here," he scowled, seeming rather angery about the whole thing.

"...Left?" Shiori asked, blinking a little bit and backing away from the dragon that she really didn't seem to like all that much. "Why did she leave here? This is a wonderful place from what I've seen, so why did she leave?"

"Hmph, she decided that she didn't want to be with me anymore, and I got...angery, of course," he hissed under his breath. Something showed that he did more than just get angery with Shiori's mother, that was for sure.

"...What did you do to my mother?" Shiori asked, looking a little angery as she took a step forward towards the fire dragon. Shiori didn't like this guy at all, and it showed more than ever now. "You did something to make her leave, didn't you?!"

"Listen here, child!" the dragon snapped, looking ready to strike Shiori, but decided against it as he glanced slightly towards Marth. "I didn't mean to strangle her, but...My temper runs thin easily, so I suppose that you had just better leave. Just looking at you makes me sick to my stomach!"

"That's enough, Kino!" a woman's voice snapped. A light dragon, in human form, walked over to the fire dragon and pulled him away. "No dragon in here likes the behavior you use, especially not around guests!" she scolded. She turned to Shiori and Marth, bowing a little. "You'll have to forgive him. His temper...He really doesn't have any control over it, hence the reason why my sister left us," she stated.

[TodayIsMine]

OCC: Raina...its good to see that ur back...but to have the story go along properly...u cant leave too much any more. we need raina in this RPG. rite nw she's important cuz only her and drgn know where the forest is. you have to keep up to date at this point. after this, if our characters aren't to major, we can take a break. but for now, we need you here.

BIC: As Drgn was running, he stoped suddenly, hearing Raina's voice. She hadn't spoken for a few hours, so he decided to listen and knew it may be important. He turned to look back and saw her on the ground. "Huh...?" Drgn said in confusion, almost speechless. She had collapsed many times, but this time it looked like it may be another problem with her inner spirits.

Drgn ran over to Raina, not too worried that she would die or be in bad shape. He turned her over to look at her face. He placed a finger on one of her eye lids and pulled it up from the closed position it was in. He eyes had a blueish film covering the irises. The pupil was dialated and she looked lik she was staring directly into nothing. "Damn...something's happening with her again. This is definitely not the best time for this kind of occurrence." Drgn lifted Raina over his shoulder and carried her. Whether she's concsious or not...we have to go to the forest. Drgn thought.

He noticed the rest of the group behind him. Another girl had appeared. Drgn seemed to be very popular right now, as he noticed that his group had more than doubled in size since he left the others at the mountain. The girl that appeared introduced herself and asked if she could follow. Drgn answered, "You may follow us...but I have no time to explain anything right now. Just be extremely careful and stay close to me for now. I hope you can run fast because I'm not going to be slow. We have to get to the forest only five minutes away.

Drgn turned back around, with Raina on his shoulder and looked at Kiori, "Let's go Kiori. If we must not waste time...then we must leave now!" Drgn ran his fastest, hoping to see the newcomer follow, along with the rest of the party.

[The Lost Angel]

Spike just burst up into the air flying.It didnt look like anybody needed a ride so he followed Drgn in the air.He was a little surprised that Drgn could run a little bit faster then he could fly,but Spike wasnt going his fastest flying.

[g0d_of_death]

Marth unsheathed his blades and was ready to attack the dragon, but just as he stepped forward, a woman walked over. "I care not if this fool has control over his temper! But he better learn to watch his tongue!" Marth nearly boomed as he brought one of his blades to the dragon, Kino's throat. "I cannot change what some bastards have done in the past, but with my blade, I can make sure that it will never happen again. If this" - Marth took his eyes off of Kino and looked to the other woman - "fiend wants to attack Shiori, then it shall be his head." The now angered black dragon sheathed one blade, and for a slight moment kept the other blade at the fire dragon's neck. He looked back from the woman, to Kino, and lowered his sword, but kept it in hand.

'The bastard...' Marth thought '...I should remove those devilish hands from his body... how could any trust such a fiend in this seemingly perfect society?... Is there no penalty for this? The bastard strangled a woman, and may have killed her...' Marth too had been a cruel, heartless, fiend, but he had already lost all respect for himself, this dragon seemed to remind Marth of how much he hated himself.

Marth stepped somewhat infront of Shiori to make sure that this Kino wouldn't try to attack her. Just then, Marth began to take in what the woman had said...
"...hence the reason why my sister left us."

He looked at the woman once again. "Eveleen... was your sister?" Marth was surprised, he didn't think it would be so easy to find a relative of Eveleen in this volcano of thousands of dragons. Marth then looked back to Shiori to see what her reaction was. This woman was Shiori's aunt... the first person of Shioir's family that Shiori had seen. It wasn't as though Shiori had left the village and left these people, but she had never met anyone from this family.

[Chibi-chan]

Shiori was staring at the light dragon, blinking a little. She noticed that the two of them had the same eyes. This woman was her mother's sister, and she was quite happy to meet her. "...I'm Shiori, Eveleen's daughter," she said in a near whisper.

"So I see," the woman said with a smile. "You could be her clone you look so similar...Except for the ears," she murmured. "You have elven ears. I suppose I needn't ask what your father was or is. Tell me...Where is Eve now? Why has she not come back with you? When you were born, she said she was comming back! But it's been about...eighteen, nineteen years?"

"...My mother is dead, has been since my birth," Shiori said sadly. "She died giving birth to me, or so I was told." She wasn't expecting to be breaking the news to her mother's sister...her aunt. She thought that the dragons here would have known about her mother's death, but obviously not.

"...When you were born?" she asked, looking dumbstruck by her words. "How can that be? When you were a year old, she told Kino that she would be comming back here. At least that's what Kino told us," the light dragon whispered, shaking her head. "How did she die giving birth to you if she was alive a year after you were brought into this world?!"

[Jagan Eye]

He turned around and saw an aura comming from the forest. The Loner started walking towards the aura and into the forest. Ruway follwed him. They started wandering around in the forest. The Loner had a the rock that hit his head with him. He searched for what had thrown it. Then he saw a monkey. Ruway motioned for the monkey to come towards them. Instead it ran the other way.

[sw33t ang3l]

OOC: Hi! I'm back :D

BIC: Shayan walked with the group. 'Hmm' she thought. 'It appears that the beast is just playing for fun. It's not that I don't expect it from him but why on such a day that the half-cresent moon would appear?' Shayan stopped walking. "I'm sorry, I have to go." she said as she fled. She turned around. "I'll be back." she yelled to them in a way she didn't really yell [awkward isn't it?].

She jumped from tree to tree. "No..." she said. "No!!!!" Her fists began to turn into a paw, her face was beginning to have whiskers and pretty soon, she was a huge cat as tall as tiger. She had a tail additional to her appearance of a cat. Her eyes wer emerald green.

"I look like a freak." she said.

[The Lost Angel]

Spike saw the huge cat and nearly hit a tree.He stopped and flew down towards it"Who are you"he asked hovering above ground.

I have decided that The Journey has gone far enough. There are 93 pages (wow. lol.) we need to start fresh now. All new joiners will be welcome to join in my continued version of The Journey.

The new Journey will be entitled, The Journey: Tale of the Legendary Phoenix

all members from this RPG will be expected to sign up in the sign up thread for my new Journey. Please just make it easy and copy / paste it to the new sign up.
new members will sign up and wait for approval by me (Flame Demon).

BIC: Drgn turned back to look at his group. "A glorious sight ineed...I have made so many friends....so many allies...I have become what father always told me to become...a leader."

Drgn looked back toward the forest. He turned to look at Kiori, "Kiori...tell the others that I have gone ahead to make a quick search for your brother. If I don't come back with him...it is only because he was not there. If he is there, I swear that at least he will be returned alive." Drgn turned and jetted into the forest.

"No sign of anyone......nobody was here. Nobody was ever here for a while..." Drgn began to search high and low for the missing boy, sniffing the wind as he progressed through the forest. "Nothing..." Drgn noticed nothing strange about the forest, excpet the fact that the trees were weeping willows...and there were many dead ones in the centre of the forest.

He emerged from the tress and found Kiori again. It had taken Drgn about an hour. "Ki...ori..." He said, slightly gasping as he caught his breath from running. "There was no sign nor scent of anyone there. Your brother is either gone from the forest and has been brought somewhere else....or he is dead. If dead, your brother was brave...he fought for your slain family. But...we shoudn't think of it that way yet. We have yet to search the world for him..." Drgn smiled and the sun shone overhead.

[Kera]

ooc:im so sorry guys ive been grounded big time. dont blame me i hvae little to klnow idea where you guys are

Hitomi didnt know why she was so quite during this long journey. Hitomi kept a pretty far distance from every one else and was happy she met them all. Meeting her brother was some thin she didnt expect traveling with Drgn but she was happy it all happend. "i dont smell any one also im sorry Kiori i truly am" Hitomi bowed her head and walked away. "and Drgn im sorry for being quite and secretive for so long" Hitomi was not going to leave her brother the only remaining family of hers so she tried to stay her very closest.

[Chain]

*cracks knuckles*...i'll find them...*grins and jumps in a tree not far from where kera was standing..or siting*

[sw33t ang3l]

OOC: Oh, okay. Btw, did you make the sign ups or the RPG yet?


Shayan Looked at Spike. "It's only me, Shayan." she said. "Promise not to tell? I turn into a huge cat at the half-cresent moon. I will only turn normal when the cresent is full again."

She walked away from him. She stopped for a moment. "Don't tell ANYONE." she said. Shayan wandered till she saw them again, smiling at the morning sun.

[The Lost Angel]

"What ever you say"i said and started flying again.I flew high in the bright blue sky as i felt the sun on my shoulders smiled happily.For today was the begginning of my journey.

[TodayIsMine]

OCC: you guys are doing great for final posts right now. g0d and Chibi, u guys make a post to finish ur thing in the volcano and get back to the mountain (or at least say that they were on their way to meet the rest). Amazon i know you're alone now, but please get yourself back to the mountain too.

Just follow my lead...kinda. Just look at this post and get an idea...

BIC: Drgn turned to his group, a newly established bunch. "We must depart for the Peaks of Haunting. Hitomi, Raina...you two know why. The rest of you, follow us. We must meet with our group, with whom we have separated for two days." He turned to the direction of the mountain and smiled, holding a hand over his eyes to block the blinding, but comforting sunlight. The sun was still burning bright in the sky and it seemed to be around two o'clock at the time.

"Let's go..." He began to walk, expecting the group to follow behind him. I've missed Marth and Shiori...and also Amazon, Haldir, and Carrie. I'm glad we shall finally reunite. Drgn paused and looked at the blue sky. Then he continued on the road to the mountain, eager to meet his party.

[red storm]

Liinna sighed happily as she stood with the rest of the group. Merely a few hours ago she was a runaway half-dog that had to strugle to survive. Now, she was a servant of Drgn-sama, although he didn't excactly view her in this way. That didn't matter, though. She would do her best for him, even a the cost of her very life.

She followed Drgn-sama the moment he began walking, softly humming to herself and thinking. Drgn-sama said that they would go and meet up with the others on their journey. Being with him had gotten her lots of friends, and she was happy because of that.

I will do my best for you Drgn-sama, and this new journey will prove it!

[Kera]

Hitomi ran up to Drgn and gave him a hug "is this journey over for now or is it just begun." Hitomi was thinking about every one. "i miss Marth and Shiori. And that little girl Carrie." Hitomi's ears went down in saddness and then she jumped up. "but were going to see them soon again right." Hitomi jumped up and down in happiness and walked beside Drgn "this one cant wait to see them again." Hitomi put on one of her must happest smiles.

[Jagan Eye]

They both started chasing the monkey. It ran so fast they couldn't keep up with. "Man!" Ruway shouted. "I could have sworn that that monkey was a pledge bringer. If only i caught it."

[TodayIsMine]

OCC: g0d and Chibi, please make your final posts for this part of the RPG. same with you Amazon. You three are importantant and I need you to make a final post in order for me to start the next part of the journey.

[Amazon_Goddess]

ooc- hey its me amazon i am bak 4rm break! hey flame i have been at the mountain the whole time duh! lol well neways, i guess i will 'go' there then....

bic- Amazon trudged along by herself slowly. She finally made it to the Peaks of Haunting. She sat down and yawned, stretched, then leaned back, waiting for the others to show up. "I'm not late am I?" she said out loud to herself.

[Chibi-chan]

OOC: Well, I was going to wait for g0d to post first, but I think that I'll have to do it.

IC: Shiori's eyes widened at this and she backed away from the woman, shaking her head. It was impossible. If this woman said that her mother was alive a year after she was born...then how did her mother die?! "How can that be the truth?! I was told that she died because of my birth!" she gasped out after recovering from the shock.

The light dragon, Miku, frowned a little, looking very troubled by all of this. "Then what you were told was a lie..." she whispered, putting a hand over her mouth and looking like she was going to be sick. If this child was told something like that, it might mean that Eveleen's death was intentional. It might mean that she was killed by somebody. Miku sure hoped that this wasn't the case. She truely did.

"Shiori...You go back to where you came from. To that group of yours..." Miku whispered, removing her hand from over her mouth. "I shudder to think what's going to happen when I tell the elder about this. He'll probably order out our people to find answers. If you find out anything, just call out my name in your mind," she stated, then realized that Shiori didn't even know her name. "It's Miku..." she added.

Shiori closed her eyes for a moment and nodded a little. It seemed that her aunt had already come to the same conclusion that she had. The half dragon, half human hoped that this was just a false conclusion. If she found out that her mother had indeed been murdered, she wouldn't rest until the murderer was hunted down and killed...by her own hands. She looked to Marth after she opened her eyes and took his hand in hers once again. "...Let's go...Drgn is waiting for us..."

[g0d_of_death]

o.c.c. Sorry Chibi and Flame, I was away all weekend, I got back last night. Ok, Chibi, if you don't mind, I'll try to conclude this part of the story for us now.

b.i.c.Marth tightened the grip that he held on his katana. Kino didn't seem to show any signs of sympathy, and from the beginning Marth knew he couldnt trust him. The black dragon was almost certain that Kino had murdered Eveleen, but he wasn't ready to pass any judgements. He was ready to end this right now, but as Marth felt Shiori's hand on his own, the tension that had begun to build slowly disipated.

Marth sheathed his blade, and turned to face Miku. "Lady Miku, if you need any help... and aid in this search for answers, please try to contact me, I would gladly help you and your family." Marth bowed and looked back to Shiori. It was sad to think that she had just gotten here, and before she could see her family, so much had happened, and the duo would so soon be leaving.

As much as Marth was happy that Shiori was able to meet her aunt, he was upset by the cercumstances in which they had to meet. Marth lifted Shiori into his arms, and he jumped up; his wings came out of his back, and he flew through the the wall in which they had entered. "Shiori," Marth started to speak as himself and the half-breed began their long journey back to the foot of the Peaks of Haunting, "I promise you that I will do everything in my power to find out what happened to your mother."

Marth -the dragon with no path to follow- had now made a choice and he intended to follow through with this decision. His promise to Shiori would not be broken, and hence -for Marth, a new journey began.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The journey back had now begun, and it was a few hours past noon. The two dragons had flown a long distance together, and in the end, Shiori found another painful page in her agonizing book. Marth thought that carrying her was the least the that he could do. He hoped she would sleep, for they wouldn't be arriving at the Peaks for about ten hours, and she had been through so much in those past two days. "Shiori... we have both completed our journeys... I found a family... and you found yours. Let's start this new journey together, bacause I'm not leaving your side, and I won't rest until you can sleep easy knowing the truth..."

[Chibi-chan]

OOC: That's alright g0d! It's all good!

IC: Shiori looked up at him, snuggling as close as possible to him, feeling safe in his arms. She could forget about things at the moment that caused her pain, and just focus on being with him. One journey after another. That's how it has always been for her, and it will continue being that way for a while, this was something that was most likey true. She didn't care where she ended up, as long as she was close to Marth.

"Thank you," she whispered to the black dragon, a faint smile appearing on her face just before she slowly was dragged down into a deep sleep as she listened to the beating of Marth's heart in his chest. It soothed her and gave her a reason to just relax and forget about the pain of having to face the truth of what happned. It even brushed aside the idea of what really happened to Eveleen, her mother. She knew that she could worry later, when they met up with Drgn and her other friends. They'd all start a new journey, together.

[TodayIsMine]

Colrain traveled for days to the nearest safe haven, the town of Brhatha. He arrived with Terrance, and his x-master now his mini-dragon, at the inn. "We have no money to rest here. Wait, we will need money, we can work here for our keep. Then keep the extra to hunt down Arman. What do you think?" Colrain inquisited Terrance and the creature on his shoulder. Pip nodded his dragon like head, and Terrance agreed. "Well, lets do it."
