Come one, Come all(DRAGONS ONLY)

[Niki]

Galaxy was peered on a rock, small cooes rumbling from her throat at the sweet air. She got up and stretched, her feathery tail puffing out happily. She let out a kind of yip, and started on a run. But then she stopped, echoes of screams seemed to flood in to her ears. Then she realized, these werent just screams. They were her rider's screams. Her eyes turned in too slits slowly, and she let out a terrifying roar and ripped her long claws down the trees around the rock, destroying most of them before she sat down, taking deep breathes, her chest moving up and down rhythimaticly. She took a deep breathe and shook her head, slowly the memory died out, and she sat there. She started to cooe again, but thing time it was sad cooes. Sad cooes that reflected her pure misery, that was there for everyone to see.

[Eiry]

A silver figure loomed between the shadows of the infamous Moonlit Rock. He had heard of the place from his fellow dragons yet he himself had never visited the place, well at least till now. Stealthily Enki maneuvered around the different little rocks and miniature cliffs that poked out from the great rock. in the distance he could hear the sounds of what he knew was another dragon. A happy coo and from the specific notes, most likely a female who cooed. Curiosity or maybe something more drew Enki to drift closer until he got close enough to hear the cooing had stopped, a roar ripped against the peaceful air, then returned back to cooing. Though not happy like before. A sad sound that was as obvious as a golden dragon against the darkness.

Enki found himself peering out cautiously from behind the shadow of a crevice, his almost invisible eyes examining the area. He didn't want to end up walking up to a very unhappy dragon that could very well end up try to kill him. It didn't take him at all that long to see the figure of a blue dragon cooing out her sadness just a small ways off. Truly an unusual looking blue but interesting; somehow her odd appearence reminded him of his own odd-looking rider. Maybe it was the comforting thought of his rider or more of his strange curiosity that drove him out; one will never know. Slowly, Enki prodded up to the dragoness, the fin-mane stretching around his head fluttered a little in greeting.

Unsure of what to say at first, the silver dragon decided soemthing would be better than nothing. What is wrong? He grumbled, somethng between a low chirp and soft coo. His eyes wandered ever so slightly at the destroyed foliage; now just wondering if he should've just left the dragoness alone. Though that option was very quite dead.

[Niki]

Galaxy turned, her eyes going calmer as she would never hurt another dragon. She dipped her head in greeting, but kind of retreated at the question. "Its a long story." she answered blankly, wrapping her tail over her long claws. She looked up at the sky, and cringed, lip slightly quivering to control her self as the screams started to echoe again. She shook her head, trying not to seem like she was crazy in front of a dragon. Most of all, not in front of a boy dragon, as Galaxy had always wished for a mate. Not that any male would want to mate with her anyways, shes crazy as far as the rest of the dragons in Carogia know.

[Eiry]

Enki could feel his muscles relax at the dragoness greeting. Though he never remembered ever becoming so tense before. He shook the thought from his mind and returned his attention to the dragoness. His calm eyes had observed the others movement so closely that he might as well just relate to hawk ready to swoop down for dinner. Her answer seemed to echo along with movements. It did indeed seem like a long story for how agitated her body moved and even more so when she tried to hide it. He knew better then to press for things others didn't want to talk about so Enki tried a different approach.

Would you like some company? I can listen to your story if you want to speak. He smiled his draconic smile, something charming to other dragons but not so much for humans or anything non-dragon. Apparently it looked like he was hungry looking when he smiled, or so his rider had told him once. He could tell that she most likely thought him to think her crazy. He would've agreed with that if it weren't for her greeting. Crazy being don't usually greet so nicely... or quietly for that matter.

He sat down onto his hunches, trying to seem as non-threatening as possible just in case. Snugly fitting his wings close to his body and wrapping his medium length tail around stone-colored claws Enki couldn't help but examine the dragoness. A truly unique sight, pretty like a star Sapphire lit up by moonlight.
I'm Enki. He introduced rather simply.

[Niki]

Galaxy glanced at him with a slight smile. "I wouldnt want to bore you with my story. She said a bit shyly. Enki, thats a nice name she thought gently. "I am Galaxy." she said, adding strength to her tone this time. Her eyes reflected the stars greatly, and chuckled slightly at his charming smile. She then brought her head back shyly. She knew that she was strange looking, very strange, for a dragon at least. She would excpect him to stare at her, who wouldnt?

[Eiry]

The silver dragon tilted his head a bit, noting her shy tone. Trust me when I say, there's no such thing as boring story. At least not to me. He ended with a chuckle. As he listened he took notice of the blue's starry eyes. Indeed, he could see why she was named as such. He rubbed his chin absently with the thumb claw on his wing. A habit of his really. A name befitting one with such mystical eyes. He praised, in a way he envied the colorful dragoness. Comparing himself to her, he would look like a statue next to gem. A sad reality on his part but he figured he liked it better that way. Less dragons and people alike usually disregard his presense. A useful tidbit when he wanted to be off on his own or even better when there's trouble nearby. He was no coward but it was true that Enki did not like unnecessary conflict. Especially petty brawls.

[Niki]

Galaxy waved her tail lightly, not glancing at him again but smiling. "Mystical, hmm?" she asked, chuckling. She sighed, layed down and made her self comfotarble. "If its a story you'de like, its a story you will get." she said with a tip of her head. "It beings with a out cast hatchling." she started. "Then one day, the perfect little boy for her appears. They bonded, and it was the day before they were supposd too also." she said, adding a chuckle imbetween. "And then he went for a vacation with his family." her eyes wavered, as if it was hurting her to tell this. "He left me with his cousin, the cousin as so sweet to my rider, so he trusted her. But...She wasnt so nice after all." she stopped, eyes going to slits and then turned back. "I'm sorry I'm boring you." she said, wincing.

[Eiry]

The dragon's silver head bobbed. Somehow the silver had always found the dragons of the cooler colors to be mystical and/or serene. They seemed even more so against the pompous dragons of his own kind. Thus was why he tended to keep to himself rather than mingle with his fellow silvers. His attention drifted to some memories of the times when he was still a hatchling watching the many different colors both rare and not always segregate to their individual groups. How he wished as a little hatchling to go off be with those of the purples and blues. He remembered how wished he had such a colorful hide but alas he was born between black and white, well silver.

He pushed his memories aside. His attention was given to the dragoness completely. At first expected to hear a story between dragons but instead got something quite new. So it was until he felt her mood deepen back down. The silver dragon closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them. A soft smile, not one of humor but of comfort slid across his serpentile features. He shook his head when she had cut off. No I am sorry. I have asked for a story which make you feel... unpleasant. The thumb claw of his wing that had been scratching him ever so idly finally returned back to his side. If you like, we could talk of lighter things. Then he added a bit more quietly, But I am thankful you have told me the first of your story.

[Niki]

Galaxy whiped the comments off with a flick of her tail, then continued the story with out another word. "His cousin was a dragon beater. She had many of dragons there, all of them bloody and bruised. I was her main target. One day, I had had enough. But had I realized my owner had come to get me back right then? No, I didnt." she said, eyes narrowing. "And I flamed. I flamed, bigger than any dragon before, I'm sure of that. You'de be surprised what we can do when were angry!" she commented, but her facial exspression was still dark. "And I burnt my rider to crisps..And all I can remember..is the echoe of her screams...and the white glow on my tail tip..slowly..go out..as the trust bond was broken.." She stopped, eyes wide. "I mean, that dragon's tail went white..not me.." she said, noticing she had already screwed it up.

[Eiry]

Just as Galaxy had continued without objection, Enki did nothing to object. He just sat and listened till the very end. Something in her voice made his muscles tense ever so slightly. He didn't know if she had purposely revealed that the dragon in her story was indeed her but at the end he could do nothing but close his eyes once more and contemplate on what she had just told him. A dragon who burned her own master to a crisp. It was indeed possible but extrodinarily rare. A dragon was never to betray their human partner and vice-versa yet now he had proof that even the anger of a dragon could indeed blind the bond. In a way it was a interesting story but even Enki knew the deed must've scared her worse than a dragon who lost their partner to some other cause. He could sense that it was going to be a long curse to plague the dragoness; perhaps even life-long.

You needn't try to cover up. He said plainly, he opened his eyes once more. He didn't know how to relate to her but he felt as if he shouldn't just walk away. So there he sat and whispered to himself, A grave tale indeed. Enki looked at the dragoness. Well i can assure you that your tale is not boring in the least. He paused, not knowing what to say next. With nothing in mind that would continue the conversation in a more positive path, or even neutral; Enki remained silent and waited for the other to speak.

[Niki]

Galaxy gave a small smile, but it soon dissapeared. "I didnt mean to dampen the mood." she cooed gently. "Urr..what about you? You got a rider?" she said, trying to make up small talk, which let me tell you, was not her strong spot. She let out a long chuckle, hoping to lighten the mood. "Have you met that Cora girl and her dragon? Talk about self center!" she laughed, her chest lowering and rising as she did. She stopped her laughing, and looked down at her feet awkwardly.

[Eiry]

Enki smiled slightly at Galaxy's attempt to lighten the mood and followed along. At the mention of if he had a rider, his tail went up and wagged like a dog happy to see its master. I do, and she is a strange little one. She's even considered odd by her fellow humans.[/i] He said with a glimmer in his eye. He could've gone on and on about his rider. After all, despite Eiry's many attempts to thwart his constant babying, he could just never get enough of her. But of course him going on and on would've brought him into conversation of him and himself. It always seemed to happen, though he could never understand why.

At the mention of another rider, Enki could only scratch his chin in puzzlement. He had heard of the high lord's daughter, even met her once when she was searching for her dragon partner but other than that he did not know her. He did however know of the dragon who had become her partner, well sort of. He was a bit of a legend in the nursery. The 'untamable one' they had called him. He could only chuckle at the memory of the gold's fiery glare. I've never spoken to the girl but I do know of the dragon and I must say I always thought he slept on rocks for how grumpy he always was. He added a little more to bring her mood back up, Have you ever noticed that the brighter the scales get, the more star-struck dragons get. Especially the blacks and golds. Oh especially the golds. He said with a bit of laughter, not minding Galaxy's moment of akwardness.

[Niki]

Galaxy chuckled, turning to him with a small nod to the right, agreeing with him. "They do like to flaunt, dont they?" she said, this time more of a laugh then a chuckle. She turned her whole body torwards him, interested in what he had to say now. He seemed to have interesting opinions, which made her eager for what ever he was about to say. "Now, dont be shy. Tell me about your self!" she said. She kind of just had a way of..knowing some things. She could tell that he was holding back from talking about his rider, which she couldnt blame him for. But how swet of him, he actually thought of how that would affect her. Not many people think like that these days.

[Enzair]

Enzair the black and purple hatchling, had been wondering about for hours, his dragoness caretaker had told him to come back soon, but as adventurous as he was he got lost, boy would his caretaker be angry whenever he got back.

So trotting along though the field enjoying his first time out alone, before his was unafraid for now, for the bravery of most hatchlings shatter at the slightest sound of something they can’t find. But the sound that came his way was not the breaking of a twig but the rolling roar of an adult dragon. At first he was frightened for his mind did not quit click in understanding, but he did figure it out, at the renewed curiosity of who was around and hopefully could help him find out where in the world he was. And off he went in the direction of the roar.

By the time he came trotting his way up his rather non-stealthy and noisy, his small feet alerting anything around. However, when he arrived on seen he noticed two other dragons a blue dragoness (female) and a silver dragon (male).

Enzair did not approached any closer, he kept his distance at about 50 feet standing in the open, off to their left. Happy to see other dragons he tail was slowly swinging left and right, sometimes brushing on the ground.

Incase they had not noticed him, Enzair made a little yip to hopefully alert them of his presence if they had not already noticed him.

[Eiry]

Enki felt a smile of his own light up his serpent-like face. He was glad that the other had taken interest in something other than her gruesome memory and he was determined to make sure that she would enjoy the time. Despite his attempts to think of something interesting about himself, he could think of nothing more interesting than his rider... that and the obvious little noises that continuously occurred from the shadows just a ways off. The silver brute was sure he could guess what the ruckus was and was more than sure that he would probably guess right. He chuckled to himself, wondering if he should finally 'take notice' of the other who so obviously made an attempt to join in. A moment passed and the small yip he heard made the decision for him. Besides, he couldn't ignore the other forever.

Enki turned his head toward the little shadow; and it was indeed very little. He didn't need to tell the other to come out for Enki to tell what he was. Seeing how well the little dragon blended into the shadows, it was obviously a black. Well it was more like the dragon looked like a shadow standing by itself with some purple to decorate his (Enki could only guess by scent) hatchling body. He indeed was a hatchling for how small he was, Enki was actually quite surprised to see one so young away from the nursery. He could already imagine the angry face of the brood mother (care-taker in Enki's words) to find out one of her dragonlets escaped.

Before I do begin, lets allow that noisy shadow join us. He chuckled, More the merrier, as they always say. He stopped, tilted his head toward the sky, put a wing to his chin and added a little more whimsically. Well unless its one of those who think anti-socialism is better. He made a dragon shrug and returned his attention to the hatchling. Well, would you like to join us little one?

[Niki]

Galaxy gave out a small gentle coo, which strangely, sounded quite motherly. "We dont bite, come on now." she said, sweeping leaves away from where they were sitting with her tail. She scooched away from the other full grown dragon, giving the little one some room. Besides, two full dragons by each other was a big site, there would be no where near room for the baby dragon, who is also very big.

[Enzair]

Enzair stood up and slowly walked over to the two adult dragons, he was both Shy because of the beautiful blue dragon and nervous because there are two adult dragons. However and thankfully his nervousness was greater than his shyness and thus hid his shyness.

Just 5 ft away from them he sat back down, too nervous to go any closer, he spent all his life up till now with others his age, and soon in a few days he will be heading on to hopefully get his rider, he hoped it would be quick, he did not like confined places like the nursery.

However, Enzair took a deep breath and sat strait, but did not exactly look up right away.

“I’m Enzair, son of Elean,” Said Enzair nervously. Elean is his mother, who went missing about 10 years ago, and 5 years later her rider, when she left she was never heard of again, and the worst was thought of, many think they died, that Black Death had gotten to them, it might be true, but if anyone asks little Enzair, he will tell them that they are still alive, he does not know why but he just has a good feeling. But that is just hope speaking backed by his lonesome of having no parent.

Shifting a little bit Enzair finally looked up at them, get a better look of who he is with so that he could remember them.

[Eiry]

Enki had to keep himself from grinning at the hatchling's nervousness. It reminded him of himself back when he was a hatchling and he was surrounded by dragons who seemed like they were bigger than life itself. He made a mental chuckle, good times. He had to wonder

He watched the other came closer with a small amusement in his eyes. As the other intoduced himself, Enki could've sworn he'd heard the name. Not the hatchling's but the other name. Now the question was, where had he heard it. He could remember it was a name from back when he was in the nursery but other than that he couldn't quite recall. Maybe his memory was already acting like an old brutes? No, more like he just never paid any atttention to the events or any of the others back in the nursery. Kind of sad in a way...

Enki nodded in greeting, I am Enki; pleasure to meet you young Enzair. He wondered if he should've put some sort of formality in there as well but instead he just left it at that.

[Storm]

A large black dragon landed on a cliff above the rest.He had heard tehm from the village,and he had come to meet them.He dropped down and landed at teh bottom.His finned tail rippled as he landed on teh smooth surface.Hello.... he greeted, his hell red eyes glowing deeply as if they led to the pits themself.He looked at the others and blinked slowly.He looked threatning and evil,whcih he did to everyone really but only a few knew him such as Ebony,and his Rider, of course, Kato.He had slipped away from thier 'house' and came here for he was bored."I am Drake,Son of Alzareth" he concluded,his father was the ruler of teh black dragons to the west, and he was known for his power and strength.Which lucky was passed down to his son,who was already 3 times larger than he should be.

[Jungleheart]

A young purple dragon circled lower and lower. She was extremely nervous. She Turned her head downwards to examine the others. Just remember, Scath, don't say anything stupid. she thought. She was known for saying -or rather, thinking- many, many stupid things. Scath feared the moment when her feet would touch the ground. Her scales rippled uncomfortably. The hatchling slowly descended farther and farther, fear striking into her. Her gold eyes were flashing with all sorts of mixed emotions.
