Gone Missing

First topic message reminder :

The Plot
Dragons were going missing.
It was now common knowledge.
No tribe was unaffected. There were dragons going missing from every tribe, and everyone was on edge. No one would be surprised if war broke out. Every tribe was suspecting each other, and no one trusted anyone from outside their own tribe. Even rogues were going missing and were more untrusting than usual.
But there was no hard evidence whatsoever. No one knew who was responsible, but there were rumors that put every tribe on the suspect list.
The Lightwings had them trapped in the Jungle.
The Firewings burned them in the volcanoes.
The Nightwings had left them in the forest in their territory to die.
The Seawings drowned them.
The Earthwings had lured them into the tunnels and hadn't let them out.
The Icewings had left them to freeze in the cold.
No one suspected the real criminals.

The Humans (No dragon is aware of this for a little bit of the topic)
The humans have been capturing dragons. And they disappear without a trace. Why they are capturing them? You decide. Whatever it is, it's not good.
Weapons: Electricity/Stun guns, basic/old guns with gunpowder, arrows, chains, metal cages, nets, electrified nets, some sort of sleep stuff (darts, needs to be eaten, etc.), Harpoon-like things.
Armor: Very, very basic. Slightly heat resistant, but nothing huge. Weak armor.
Transportation: Basic. Wagons.
Hideout: Caves in mountains outside all territories. Near Earthwings.

Your Roles
You can RP as more than one of your characters.
You can RP as a captured dragon or a free dragon, and part of the rescue party later. You could also have a dragon who gets away, but please don't do that early on.
You can-if you want-RP as a human. Please specify in your first post who you are RPing as, if not whether they are captured or not (you can) or at least make it clear. You can do it on different accounts, or the same post with a clear difference in characters.
Please make your posts somewhat longer, so that they keep the plot going.

My posts
((I might RP as others later on too. But definitely))
The feathered dragoness made her way quietly through the air, as quiet as she could. The tribes had been very, very on edge lately. She was no different. She flapped again, trying to keep her feathers quiet to avoid detection from any others who may be near. She was in the heart of her territory, but even there no one was safe. Rumor had it that dragons would sometimes disappear from outside their own palace. She was a ways away, too far to be heard, but there was no prey near the palace. In her claws were a few deer and birds. Asaya looked around warily, trying to keep her eyes everywhere at once. And she failed to look down.
She roared loudly in pain as something shot through her left wing, near the tip, but still in the muscular part. She screech and dropped the prey in her claws, and instinctively lit on fire. Whatever it was immediately disintegrated, and she wheeled, trying to get back to the palace, blowing caution to the wind and trying to get back as fast as possible, made very, very difficult by the pain her left wing, forcing her flight to veer in jagged directions as she limped through the air. Something whistled behind her, and she twisted, trying to see what it was. Something clamped her wings to her side, forcing them to fold, and she shrieked as electricity blasted through whatever it was holding her, and she blacked out, careening towards the ground, and crashing hard through the trees before coming to a stop, completely limp.

Shine paced the palace anxiously. She knew of the rumors. As Healer, she wanted to remain neutral, as leader, she needed to remain wary of everyone. It was a very difficult duel job. Some of her guardians had gone missing on patrol, and some of her trackers while hunting. And some had gone missing while on a relaxing swim or flight. It was very, very nerve wracking. She swallowed and turned hopefully as a palace runner came up to her. "Anothrr tracker missing, Shine." Her hopes dropped to her feet and she looked away.
She sighed. "Don't tell anyone. We can't have them getting panicked" she answered, her heart wrenching at her painfully.
The runner nodded and returned to his post as Shine sat down. "What kind of healer and leader am I if I can't even keep track of my tribes..."

Laying down in the snow, Wisp watched the human slowly wake up, her fragile skin turning pink from the cold. "You're awake," she commented dryly, watching as the human stood, then began to fall. She quickly put her tail out, catching the girl and lifting her back on her feet. "It's a wonder how you balance on those things. I've never been able to understand it." Remembering the little hatchling, she turned her head, snaking her neck around to look at him. "Au? Are you okay? We're safe now, we're out of the mountain, and away from the humans."

Blinking blearily, Adra opened her eyes, the orange globes tired. Metal bars and rock met her sight, and her eyes widened. She scrambled to her feet, attempting to open her mouth to call out, only to find if was clamped shut with some sort of human contraption. She shook her head vigorously in an attempt to get it off, bringing the attentions of a human, who banged his sword hilt against the bars and screamed at her. She backed up, her eyes wide. What had happened to her? She couldn't understand... Biting back the urge to cry, Adra looked around. She was in a little alcove, separated from a main area. Out there, she could see other dragons, many of whom were escaping. "Help me!" She wanted to shout, but the muzzle prevented it.
"Cover the cage," one of the humans ordered. "Don't let the other dragons see this one." Orders were followed, and soon Adra was cloaked in black, her cage covered in a large cloth. Shuddering in fear, Adra laid down, her eyes wide, and her wings shaking in their bindings.

(The only dragons of Ark that haven't disappeared or died yet are Fraya, Delphin, and Thira XD)

Rayla groaned as she held onto Wisp, unhappy with herself. What exactly had she done to deserve this? Other then make fun of the Vulcan.... and disrespect the leaders.... and annoy her father... actually, there were quite a lot of things she had done to deserve this. Groaning, she regained her balance. She hated this dress the humans had put on her. She snarled at it, biting at it. As she thought about destroying the dress, her body began to glow again, and when it stopped glowing, she had gained dragon hands, wings, feet, claws, fins, and a tail. But she still had a human body. She cut the dress low enough so that she could run, and shook herself, looking at her body, confused.

"This is better then it had been before, but I would rather be a dragon," said Rayla out loud in the newly-learned human tongue, staring at her hands and feet, tail, and wings. She tested her wings out, flapping them once.

Shock coursed through Wisp when the girl changed, and instinctively, she raised her wings to cover AuSurath, leaning away from Rayla and letting out a hissing sound, her eyes narrowing. Had the girl just... Half turned... Into a dragon? Fins... A SeaWing? Wisp shook her head, confused, but still kept wary eyes on the human, unsure whether to fly away or attack. The human would be able to fight back now... She wondered how this thing could fight, with strange dragon pieces that aren't her own.

Adra found her head tipping to the side when a small SkyWing hatchling was thrown in. That or a FireWing... He was red, after all. Unable to speak, she made her way over warily, lowering her head down to him. Her eyes widened when she saw the wound on the hatchling's side. She let out a little throaty squeak of surprise, she only sound she was able to make at the moment. Nudging the hatchling gently, she ran her tail around the wound gently, checking fr anything she'd missed. Even being a trainee, she had yet to have her first lesson with Shine. She wasn't sure at all how to deal with this.

Hearing a voice above him, AuSurath peeked one eye out from his tail and haunch, looking up at the older dragoness. He didn't feel like responding, and only nuzzled his snout more into himself to be as small as possible. However, when wisp suddenly threw her wing up and hissed at what he guessed was the human captive, he tumbled off to the side. Being curled, he had no grip, rolling off her opposite side of the lifted wing, yelping as he scrambled to catch a grip on her, achieving one when he was half off of her. With his claws dug into Wisp's scales, he tried to re limb onto her, but slipped and plopped in the snow. Sinking underneath the white layer, he immediately popped his head back up, with a little clump of snow on his head, confused as to what happened.

Soon enough Ark arrived at the human's base, keeping quiet he realized something had happened, as the site seemed to be damaged with many humans scrambling around. With his careful gaze he could still see other dragons confined, scanning the cages he failed to find anyone that he knew. But then suddenly he spotted a smaller cage, creeping a little closer to gain a better view. This specific cage was covered in some kind of blanket, after scanning the other cages he couldn't find any hatchlings. Maybe the cage held one of his kids, he had to check.  

Growling he wanted revenge, soon enough leaping into the air his wings cast a shadow below. Swiftly diving towards the cages he used his ability melting the nearby snow as the water formed around him. Crashing into earth, caused a loud boom which shook the dirt below. Letting out a roar, he spared no time heading straight towards the children. Now that his presence was known humans dashed towards him with multiple weapons, now that Ark was prepared it was almost a simple task to remove the pests. Using the water around him he created a jet stream smashing into his opponents, soon after blazing towards the metal cage, blasting the blanket cover off to reveal Adra and a strange smaller hatchling, letting out a gasp he quickly commanded the water to cut through the bars as more of the pests surrounded him, only this time using electric like weapons. As the humans targeted his hide he couldn't help but roar from the pain, his water armor was helping them. Quickly realizing this he caused the water to swiftly explode in every direction. As the humans got caught up in the liquid haze their own weapons turned against them as they where incapacitated from the electric shock.

Now without his water armor to protect him, he quickly gestured towards the hatchlings, "Come, I will get you out of here"   soon he spotted more pests heading towards them, but this time shooting dart like objects. Placing them both on his back, with a quick flick of his tail and beat of the wings, he glided towards the valley below. Unfortunately for Ark three of the sleep darts hit his hide, focusing on getting the hatchlings to safety he tried to keep his head clear, shaking it a few times it wasn't long before he landed close to the river below. To check for injuries and to remove the human device around Adra's snout. With a sleeply smile he removed the leather like strap holding the muzzle together with a quick swipe of one of his talons. "You two alright?" gazing at them both with a worried look, but to Ark's misfortune the tranquilizer took effect, his eyes began to droop and lowered his snout against the grassy ground.

((Adra's in an alcove with a black blanket over her cage, and Aakesh is with her, not Luna. XD ))

ah... derp... I saw luna so got confused. Its Aakesh, edited)

Rayla blinked at the change. She felt sturdier now. She flexed her wings, and tested her balance. She seemed a little more stable now. She had learned that her legs were stronger then they looked, and she could stand much more easily now that her feet had turned to a more familiar shape. She stretched, feeling exhilirated at the familiar feeling in her back and on the end of her spine. How did humans live without wings and tails? It was a mystery that would forever astonish Rayla, even though she apparently could turn into a human.... and whatever she was right now. Now all she had to do was figure out how to fly.... and head back to the SeaWings to warn them about the human threat.

Glancing at her wings, Rayla muttered to herself, "Hmmm.... let's test these out, shall we?" Slowly, she began to flap her wings, picking up the pace. Astonishingly enough, she began to slowly float up into the air. Most dragons couldn't fly straight up in this manner, so this was an advantage. Hmm... she looked over at Wisp and AuSurath. Rayla didn't know their names. And she couldn't speak in dragon tongue to ask the, either....

((Sorry for being inactive, Motivation went down the drain.))

Vale slowly came to again, and her eyes snapped open at the scene in front of her. He was tied down and in a cage like before, but set farther away from the entrance. She didn't recognize the large Seawing in front of her, but knew he was here to help, and important. Her heart dropped when he soared out with the hatchlings, and she hissed to herself, before looking around for something to free herself with.

Shine smiled to the dragon, before looking down at her wing, frowning. "It doesn't hurt, and nothing's broken." She paused. "I actually wouldn't know if it was hurt or broken. I can't feel it all." She shuddered. "It should wear off, but it's weird." She changed the subject to try and take her mind off the missing feeling. "Im Shiningwater, Seawing Healer and Queen. You can call me Shine." She said, smiling. "Who're you?"

Wisp watched Rayla warily, keeping her eyes on her as she bent, picking up AuSurath gently by his neck, setting him on her back once more. Her wings spread out slowly, and she watched Rayla silently, unsure whether to freeze her, stay where she was, or turn and fly to another safe place.



Hikari's amber gaze widened upon finding out who Shine was, and he immediately dipped his head respectfully, though he didn't do much more. He had almost attacked a SeaWing Queen earlier.... A chill went through him and he changed from his current color of green betraying his worry for the other dragon to a dark purple color; his guilt for almost starting a war being immense. Mentally, he banged his head into a tree. Physically, he replied simply, as he always did.  "I am called Hikari, ma'am. Simply a LightWing Guardian."



When the little SkyWing didn't reply, Adra looked worried, ignoring the commotion Arkhor was making outside the cage and bending down to touch her nose to the wound, almost on a whim. Later, she wouldn't be quite sure why she'd done it. As soon as her scales touched Aakesh's wound, however, her scales began to glow with a soft blue light, which spread to Aakesh. The air drifted with the salty scent of the ocean. By the time the light cleared, Arkhor had opened her cage, and Aakesh's wound was gone, as if it had never been there before. Adra's eyes widened, her surprise at what she'd done overriding her excitement at seeing her father, and she looked at him with wide eyes, unable to voice her feelings on what had happened. Arkhor hadn't seemed to notice, focused on the humans as he was, and soon Adra found herself and Aakesh upon his back, flying through the air out of the mountain. She wanted to ask what they were going to do about the other dragons, but she was once again inhibited by the metal around her head. When they landed, Adra waited while Arkhor removed her restraint, then turned, snapping at the bindings holding her wings until they were gone. "I'm all right," she said quickly, looking worried at his sleepy appearance. "Don't sleep! I have something to..." She trailed off, seeing that it was too late. He was breathing softly already, sleeping like a hatchling. She quickly looked at Aakesh. "Are you okay?"

Rayla flapped her wings, testing them out. They seemed to work well enough. She floated herself up into the air using her wings, testing them out by tilting her body in one direction, and, sure enough, she flew in that direction. She smirked. This was awesome! She was much more aerodynamic now, and she could move in many more directions then she could have as a dragoness! Maybe being able to change into a human wasn't such a bad idea. She looked back at Wisp and Au, feeling pity for them. But she had her own mission to get to. She needed to return to the SeaWings, her father and siblings, and tell them what happened. She was not aware that her father had already discovered the base, and so she could not be aware that what she was about to do was a very, very bad idea.....

Taking one last glance at Wisp and Au, Rayla shot off into the sky, feeling much faster then she had ever felt before. She let out a shout of laughter as she dove down in between the trees, feeling adreniline pump throughout her entire being. This was exciting! And fun! Rayla had never felt such excitement before in her entire life! She flew through the trees. Suddenly, she came to a jerking stop, her wings beating in place as she remembered something. She had no idea where she was! Letting out a groan, Rayla slapped her hand into her face, feeling annoyed. This couldn't have been made more complicated, could it?

Groaning, Rayla decided to follow the direction the wind was blowing. Maybe that would lead her to the ocean, and from there she could get a better perception of where the SeaWings where. Rayla wasn't aware that she was heading in the same direction as Adra, Aakesh, and her father.....

AuSurath went limp as teeth gripped the back of his neck, lifting him. His hatchling instincts prevented him from resisting as he was plopped onto Wisp's back, little bits of snow still clinging to his back and snout. Once on her back, he blinked, lifting his head up and then staring at the half human half dragon creature looking down at him. Letting out a small peep, he awkwardly clung to Wisp with his front and back legs dangling off of either side of her.

// Although this character is going to become inactive, I'd like to finish this topic  //

The alarm was resounding around the acampament. The humans drew their swords with concerned looks on their faces, ready to fight and recapture the missing dragons. Shadowis understood he couldn't distract the humans anymore. Luckily, a big, very big dragon (Vale) was coming to rescue him. She was a Lightning, in theory a enemy. She cut the chains off. Shadowis was finally able to free himself.
"Hey, thanks!" He told Vale thankfully, and he was going to do other questions, but Vale quickly escaped. Shadowis was tempted to follow the big LightWing, but the soldiers blocked his way towards the exit.
"Enough. Kill this dragon." The general commanded while he was wearing a new pair of pants. The soldiers obeyed, lunging at Shadowis, attempting to slash the dragon. Shadowis stepped back, dodging the blows and looking around to find a way to escape.
"The show is over. I hope you have enjoyed it. Do you want my autograph?" He smiled at the humans, trying to take other time. However the humans didn't seem to listen him anymore. Shadowis noticed a opening on the cave's roof. He spreaded his wings while he was completely surrounded.
"Ok, fine." He growled disappointed because the soldiers didn't answer. "See you at the next episode." With a jump he took flight and rushed towards the opening. With a enthuasiastic roar, he flew away, finally free from the human madness.

"Wait, I wanted your autograph!" One of the soldiers yelled at Shadowis. However the warrior forgot the thing to join the other soldiers into attacking the other dragons.

((Shine is not a goddess in this RP. Imma finish it, for now, she's still just a leader and healer.))

Shine smiled kindly to the Lightwing."You don't need to bow." She said, tipping her head. "I hate formalities, and there's nothing simple about being a guardian." She answered smoothely, then looked around, waiting for the feeling to return to her wing. she sighed. "Now what? I couldn't fly with this-not that I could anway-but we still need to warn the other tribes." She said worriedly, looking around, then glancing down at her wing.

Vale grinned viciously as she found a rock that would suit her needs, and pounded it loudly against the bars. She didn't care that the humans saw or head her. The ones that attempted to stop her ended up impaled on a spike on her tail. She ripped the bars aside when there was enough room, and pulled the chains off after a few clangs with the rock, and roared loudly, before attempting to launch into the air. She fell hard to the ground when her wing refused to cooperate, and she instead whirled, taking out as many humans as possible, and lunged for the exit.
She broke a few layers of rock from the sides as she forced her way through.
