Post by Oculus Sat Mar 14, 2015 8:50 pm

A message, written on paper, has been posted all over the Night Wing Kingdom.  There were very little words on it, but they all held very high importance.

*NOTICE*
Effective Immediately, all Advisors are stripped of there rank and  have lost all their authority.  Important meeting in Imperial Capital.  New policies coming into effect.  Announcement at Imperial Capital midday today.

And that was all there was on the note.  Many of them were posted all around, on caves walls, trees, outside posts, even a few of them floated around, carried in the breeze.  Oculus had sent one of his two most trusted guards to post the notices during the middle of night.  He now sat on the throne are that had once been occupied by someone he had looked up to, Gemini, was now occupied by himself.  He had been told he was going to take over Gemini's position due to unknown reasons, but he was still nervous.  Plans had been made, and he would see them through.  It was just weird to know that he now was responsible for every single one out their within the Night Wing territory.  Laying down, he had curtains blocking the area he was laying down on, with his two loyal guards sitting ever so attentive, one one each side.  On a lower platform, there were three unoccupied seats, seats he planned on filling up very soon.  Looking at his right paw, he winced, thinking of the coming pain.  He had a ceremonial dagger laid down next to him, and a fire in front of him.   Each guard had a similar cut on their right paw.  Oculus let out a deep sigh, waiting for more people to file into the chamber so that he could make the announcements, and hopefully cool any angered drakes who's authority he had just swiped.  Clenching his wrapped right paw, he looked at the drapes, listening to see how many people had come yet.  Not enough yet.....need more... he though, but patience was thin as his nerves were high.  He had to empower many today, prove himself to them all, so that he may attain loyal followers, and hopefully, willing followers to take an oath.

Note:  There will be high ranking positions available, but if you do not post here, you will not get them.

Serena wakes up in her cave and yawns. She looks at a piece of paper, not being there when she went to sleep. She got up and looked at it, and tilted her head. She went to Imperial Capital, a bit worried and confused on why she must go there. On the way she saw many of the same pieces of paper, and she finally arrived. Serena saw her Big Brother, Oculus, up on some throne guarded by two fellow guardians. "No.. Not today.. Why today.... Why anyday?!" She yelled loudly. She wanted anything but this.. Serena ran out of the Capital and spit a lavender fireball out of her mouth in rage, it hitting a tree and calming her rage. She sighed calmly and walked inside again, sitting in behind a chair not knowing if shes supposed to sit in it or not.

((Erm, won't it be problematic that Tenebris isn't there at the moment ?))

Loque woke up as a few sun rays hit his face. His cave was facing the rising sun, which was perfect for someone who wanted to be awoken early. He quickly stretched before noticing a rustling sound. Intrigued, the black dragon headed outside his cave, toward the direction of the sound. A small flyer was about to get carried by the wind. Loque swiftly grabbed it while he could and began to read its content. His eyes widened as he went through the announcement. He who was only hopping for a calm life, he managed to arrive right at a shift in power. There was trouble incoming, he could feel it. Anyway, he had some time to head for the palace. Stretching his wings, the black dragon took off, heading toward the meeting place.
It didn't take him long to reach it. There weren't a lot of dragons here at the moment, but the tension in the air was palpable. Loque just calmly sat in a free spot, looking around. He wondered who would be the next leader... and if he would manage to hang on the power for long.

NightStrike flew up into the clouds, enjoying a bright sunny day, much to the dismay of Yoru and Kage who hated being up in the day. Trying to cheer the two up, Sutoraiki chirped, "Oh, come on guys! It's not that bad!'
"Ugh."
"Aren't we meant to be meeting the new NightWing leader or something?" Kage sighed, picking up a stray flyer that had managed to find its way to the clouds.
"What!?" Yoru and Sutoraiki said in unison. They swooped into Imperial Capital - the said meeting place. A quick glance told them that they had never seen any Dragons who were meeting here. Maybe she hadn't met many Dragons yet. They sat down and, for the first time ever, didn't start fighting.

As she cast a second glance, she saw an unfamiliar Dragon upon the throne. Someone who was not Gemini. Although they didn't really know her personally, they felt kind of sad to see her go. Thoughts raced through their mind about what could have possibly happened to her. Then they set their thoughts back on the new NightWing Leader.

Post by Tenebris Sun Mar 15, 2015 5:26 am

Tenebris strode with purpose into the grand chamber, his grimace was all to apparent and his eerie sapphire glare shifting upon all those within with silent scrutiny. All my meticulous planning and calculations aren't going to be taken from me now by this child, not after everything I have sacrificed for the greater good, not now. Striding forward his presence radiated with pride in his regal stature, but his domineering stance maintained his superiority with a militaristic like precision. All what went through his mind within his contemplations were the past following days, his status taken from him and with it his right to rule over Shadows Refuge, of course as of yet the land hasn't been taken from him or for that matter the factions totally dissolved as many still called the isle and its keep their home under Tenebris What arrogance and hubris comes from the throne, how dare they, if this is a means to consolidate his own power, they will be met with resistance. The die is cast and if they expect me to succumb to this political challenge they're a fool. With his shrewd gaze fixated and locked upon the throne he gave a scoff, scornful with disdain, although after a moment as if it was almost comical out of the blue he mused to himself as a soft smile spread across his face, his dark brooding presence awaiting in silence, he knew before long his words would radiate and echo around the atrium, but he also knew that he could be killed by the new king to consolidate his power to remove a threat, but then Tenebris would only be a martyr thus his arrogant smile was ever unfaltering as it radiated with confidence.

Xangor was flying towards the NightWings Palace, still confused and shocked about the recent announcement. At first he thought it was just a joke made by someone. However the missive was official. The letter was clearly saying that all Advisors have lost their ranks. Xangor looked down, deep in his thoughts, while approaching the palace. It was a offence that he has lost his rank, considering all the hard work he did for the tribe.It was also a offence towards Xangor's followers. They were cut off from any political activities. Xangor was angry, but he realized he would get advantage of this. His own faction was a reality inside the tribe. Xangor and his followers had enough authority to have a place in the society. In fact he didn't understand why Gemini would demote him and obtain his ostility rather than alliance. It was all at her disadvantage. Xangor landed in front of the palace and walked towards the throne, wondering what was going on. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw Oculus sitting on the throne, replacing Gemini. He looked around to find traces of her. She wasn't partecipating at the meeting. I think to understand. We have an usurper. Xangor thought. It meant a new regime was going to start. Interesting. For now, he's gaining my hostility. He smirked while thinking what to do next to deal with this new leader. Xangor remained silent and mysterious for now. However he wasn't attending this council to just sit and listen. He was here to influence others with his presence. Xangor's natural domineriing stature and his majestic black-silvery armour were giving him a fearsome and menacing aspect.

Only a small flicker could be seen through the sky as Neru headed towards the Night Wing palace, her scales blending with the sky around her easily. Not as easily as it would be for her to blend into the night sky, but easy all the same. All of it was for nothing, however, as she alighted carefully on a lantern holder, her wing claws gripping the stone tightly as her body simmered into existence. The stars along her scales simmered as they did so, almost as if they were an actual nebula. Her expression was one of boredom, but she said nothing, merely settling down to listen to the new "leader", whom she had no doubt would be replaced soon enough. These Night Wings were exhausting, changing leaders every five seconds. It surprised her that she was still a part of this tribe. Something compelled her to stay, she guessed. Only Astral could know what.

Post by Celestia Sun Mar 15, 2015 9:46 pm

Astral was at home enjoying her family life when one of her children brought back a message after taking a trip to grab some supplies. Something about demoting people and making new rules. This didn't sound like Gemini at all. Concerned for her cousins well being Astral decided to take a trip over the the NightWings and attend this meeting. The only problem is it seemed to take place during the day time. While Astral didn't necessarily actually need sleep it was pleasant thing to do none the less. She and her family were all nocturnal.

Astral made preparations and invited her children to come along if they wanted to. It would be good for them to spend some time with other family. Celestia was the first to volunteer eager to get out of their territory again.

Astral and the family that went with her flew to the meeting. When they entered they were all mistaken for hatchlings due to their small sizes. Astral quickly sized up the situation. A new leader had taken over and was flipping things upside down. Astral had a couple of problems with this. First she wanted to know what happened to her cousin and second she didn't know anything about this new leader and wasn't sure she could trust any of her children with the NightWings now.

Astral pushed through the crowd as an unstoppable force. She may appear small and weak but not even the collective strength of all the dragons here could make her budge. Her family followed close behind her. Astral walked right up to the one who seemed in charge and payed no attention to his guards no matter what they did unless of course they turned on her children(s) in which case she'd give them the most terrifying growl they'll ever hear. "Greeting I am Astral goddess of the Moon and Stars and these are my children ('this is my hatchling' if Celestia is the only one.) I want to know whats happened to Gemini and if she supports this change in leadership. I had previous arrangements with this tribe that have been kept secret till the right time. My daughter Celestia here is suppose to be the next NightWing semi goddess when she comes of age."

The sight was quite a spectacle to see. It was rare enough to meet a full god in person even more so for them to involve themselves in tribe affairs. It was also generally unheard of for full gods to have offspring and indeed she and her ex-mate Nimbus were the first to have done it. The NightWing meeting had just turned into something no one in the area would ever forget.

Post by Virath Mon Mar 16, 2015 5:11 am

Virath got notice of a meeting so grand that they had to penetrate these trees with papers. No. They engulfed everything sticking out of the ground. Virath almost never attended these kind of things even if he were required. But the paper covered trees said otherwise. Thus, he did.

Virath, clicked his blood stained talons on the hard stone and dirt ground before entering the area where every corner was filled with chatter and anger. And the ones standing above this crowd was Oculus, and Astral. Except Oculus was on the throne. How thrilling! Around Virath's neck was rather... unique. A necklace. A disturbing one. The necklace gave off a disgusting odor which would soon fill the entire room, if he hadn't already. In this room was Tenebris and Xangor, ex-high officials. The gang was all here! And only Shardas knows where Nightflare was. Didn't matter to Virath. He was going to kill her soon anyway. That was actually another problem solved.

With part of his.... interesting necklace dragging behind him on the floor, he walked into the flared his wings and threw his head back with a howl, laughing like a madman. "Ahahaha!! How thrilling! Xangor, Tenebris, Oculus, and great hells, we even have Astral! To whom do I owe the pleasure of this fine amusement? Where's the foul, unfortunate, ugly Gemini? Dead? Ah, who cares! She as boring anyway!" He laughed hideously.

Post by Tenebris Mon Mar 16, 2015 5:57 am

Tenebris was stood under the throne, his stature was never faltering as his glare was locked upon Oculus on the raised dais platform which housed the throne. His visage was adorned in finery, despite the removal of his rank and titles he made it known to those around him with his sheer presence and attire that he wasn't here to succumb to a lesser status, not after everything he's accomplished. He bore a silver cuirass along his chest embossed with a engraved Sigil of what appeared to be two Dragons rampant to one another supporting a crown, one wields a sword as a symbol of might and the other a royal scepter as a symbol of leadership, accompanied by spaulders on each of his shoulders following the same heraldry design of his chest plate. This was a gesture of his pomp and splendor as it was far more less practical and for that matter more ceremonial than Xangor's attire but it gave his demeanor a sense of superiority. In unison with the armour garb, the rest of his appearance was adorned with silver necklaces and lanyards covering his neck, as well as braces, bangles and rings upon his forearms, talons and his horns, all made out of silver.

Although with his gaze fixated upon the throne he caught a glimpse of Xangor as he as well stood before the throne, to which Tenebris allowed his features to become cold and stern, emotionless as his sapphire like eyes stood out as beacons compared to the rest of his dark stature. It was only as Astral entered the chamber did he turn shifting his posture, his neck craning towards her as she spoke, her radiance was enough to demand instant respect, but although Tenebris's visage was still apathetic to his surroundings and the fact he himself was a living harbinger of Astral religion due to his faith and ideology he had disdain for the god in this moment. What right do the divine have within the affairs of mortals, even now she graces herself to search for her Cousin, a demon spawned cretin. His musing were cut short by the dramatic arrival of Virath, a part of him in his contemplation's knew that the first challenger to any new regime would come from Virath and of course this would be test of the New Kings power, even despite the mutual acknowledgement Tenebris had for such an insane monstrosity of a Dragon, he had to hold back a sneer from escaping his emotionless countenance, thus he turned back towards the throne awaiting in silent scrutiny for the new monarch to address them all.

Loque looked at the newcomers arriving one by one, each entrance more impressive than the previous. There was Xangor, who visibly wasn't really happy and came with a complete battle armor, then Tenebris, still as elegant as ever but with a look that could tell he would seize the first opportunity, followed by a rather small dragon... who happened to be nothing less than a full god. And when he thought he couldn't be any more surprised Virath made his disgusting appearance. For a few seconds, the black dragon wondered if that was a joke or not. Definitively his estimation of the new ruler's life span had gone down.

Post by Oculus Mon Mar 16, 2015 4:30 pm

Hearing commotion outside of his little bubble behind the curtains, he took a deep sigh, steadying his nerves.   He was a warrior, not some politician to woo the masses....but here he was, now having to woo everyone.  He hated speeches, was terrible at them.  He'd much rather fight the enemy than give the speech before battle, or after battle.  Taking another deep breath, he stood, looking towards the two guards, and motion them away and also to draw the curtains.  He did not know why they were there in the first place, since his outline still was visible through the curtains...he'd just have them removed and make the place more open eventually.  Standing and looking at everyone, he looked across all the faces, ignoring most, including his sisters (happy Serena? Razz), looking for specific drakes.  He mentally smiled seeing Tenebris, along with Xangor, the two he wanted here the most.  And judging by their expressions, his little stunt had worked.  Angry, but they showed up in quite the timely manner to, a much better improvement already.

"Well, I bet most of you are surprised, and a few not so happy wittle dwagonies," he mocked, but glared across the room, his eyes going from their golden hue to his much more dangerous red, daring anyone to speak over him.  If anyone did, he'd quickly throw them in an illusion where they fell into oblivion, just pitch black and muzzled.  "Look at you all...absolutely pathetic. he spoke, glaring at a few individuals in particular who just showed up in rage rather than curiosity.  "Coming over here just cause you lost your little position.  No care for how well the realm is doing, only how much power you can get yourself, splitting the entire tribe into your very own separate factions."  Oculus started to pace back and forth, still glaring at the entire crowd before him.  "You are all the laughing stock to the other tribes.  A simple joke.  Are you gonna let the other, inferior tribes waltz right over us all, laughing at the pathetic unity that we so claim?  Oculus spat on the ground, getting heated up and not waiting for anyone to respond, nor giving them the chance to.  "Well, I don't care what you think.  No more will the Night Wings be the jokes around every feast!  No more will we be scrutinized as the weakest tribe!  No more will we be the weak, broken thing we called a government!  We sha...all...." Oculus lost his train of thought as he saw a very small, yet quite determined drakka making her way to him.  It took him only a few moments before realizing who that drakka was, and immediately bowed his head down low, becoming silent immediately.  "L-Lady Astral, you b-bless us with your ap-pearance..." spoke Oculus in a much quieter voice where only a few may be able to hear him.  He kept his head lower than Astral's finding the task difficult as he was more than seven times her size.  He listened intently to every word she said, not daring speak up over her.  "Great Goddess Astral, lady Gemini has stepped down willingly and supports this change in leadership....I-I have no knowledge of any arrangments made previously between you and Gemini, but I shall honour her word and keep it..."  Thinking, Oculus spoke in a much quieter voice, so that only Astral could hear (READ DA PM CELE! : P), hoping that he could use this rare appearance to help solidify his claim to the throne.

A dark shape blended in perfectly against the shadow-covered wall. Hidden so well, only the keenest eye would be able to spot her. Two pairs of glowing eyes stared out at the gathered dragons as Oculus began his speech. Her wings were neatly folded to her side, and her tail was tucked close to her. Many familiar faces were facing the new king; Virath, Xangor, Tenebris, Serena, Neru, Loque, Nightstrike, and more. To think that she used to be their ruler. But she had stepped down, for something extremely important, and to her, it was more important than being a leader, so she had passed down the role to Oculus, the former Lieutenant. Oculus had suddenly made an announcement of demoting all of the advisers. Gemini wasn't exactly happy about that, but she wasn't necessarily angry about it, either.

Gemini's teeth bared into a soundless snarl as Virath insulted her, all the while laughing like a madman. Crazy old fart, she thought in disdain. Creepy, too. She raised an eyeridge (brow or whatever) as Astral made her appearance, followed by her many children. She narrowed her eyes as Astral asked about her. Once this meeting was over, she was going to talk to Astral about this, and explain everything.

Serena narrowed her eyes at her brother and shut her eyes, but had already memorized where he was and where everything else was. She took a step towards him and smiled. "Oh, my dear brother Occy. How dumb are you? Moving the best advisors down there hard earned rank? Surely that's your dumbest idea ever! And surely you wouldn't move your dear younger sister down her hard earned Guardian Rank, right?" Serena laughed evilly. She turned to the Advisors who lost there ranks and smiled. "Now, don't you think his decision was dumb, my intelligent advisors?"

Allistair had been sitting within the gloom of the shadows for a long while, staring at all the dragons. Her neon green eyes stared out, unblinking. She pricked up her ears at the conversations as she listened. She frowned. She wasn't fond of this new idea.It would mean Xangor, who she was extremely loyal to, would be demoted. Oh. Imagine her joy. (sarcasm) She wanted to bite someone. But definitely not here. It would make the new oficials think awfully of her.
And since when have I cared about what others think of me? she thought evilly, a sharp-toothed grin spreading across her face. But, she just wasn't in the mood. She felt like talking to someone. Get a citizen to be in awe of her.
She stepped out of the shade, and as torchlight began to play across her black and red scales, she glanced around. She giggled a bit about Virath, perhaps because she found it amusing even though she silently protested. She looked about with her luminous green eyes. Who to speak to?

Sting was sitting in one corner, twiddling with a beautiful choker on her neck with luminous unique stones on it. Her purple-bluish wings were extended out behind her, the pretty silver flecks glinting in the light of torches. She said nothing, for she knew nobody she saw. She was rather shy, and the only true friend she had was Levish, the High EarthWing Vulcan.
Sting sighed, and glanced around, feeling nervous. She knew of no one here; she didn't know what they would think of her.

Astral found the NightWings attempts at keeping his head lower than hers amusing. After she finished talking he answered her questions as well as made a specially request. As she was listening to the new NightWing leader she spotted Celestia looking into the shadows. Concentrating on the spot her daughter was looking she recognized Gemini. If it hadn't been for the hatchling she would have never known she was there. She was a little jealous of Celestia stealing her eyes which could see in even the darkest reaches of space.

"I'll stick around." Astral said before walking past the NightWing to where her cousin was located. "Oh and as much as I appreciated the gesture don't hurt yourself over my small stature."

"Hey, whats going on?" Astral whispered in the shadows to her cousin, concern saturating her tone.

Oculus smiled lightly as Astral said she would stay, before seeming to wander off into a corner.  He let out a sigh, glad nothing dangerous had happened, or anything to embarrassing.  Just as he took a step forward to continue where he left off, his very own half sister trotted up, her eyes closed.  As she approached him, he became enraged, not only was she interrupting him, but her very words were a direct insult towards himself!  She was smart enough to keep her eyes closed, but that would prove her downfall.  As she reached him, insulting him further, he clenched his paws as she turned and looked for support among the ex-advisors.  Without so much as a warning, Oculus stepped forward, as if he was going to stand next to Serena to counter her argument, then the next moment he turned violently towards Serena, his right paw clutching her throat just under her neck.  Keeping his momentum moving forward, he pulled Serena's head backwards as his tail swiped out her back left paw, which would cause her to stumble towards the direction he was throwing her head to make her collapse on the ground.  With her now on her back or side, he pushed his weight down on his right paw, just below her jaw on her neck, claws digging dangerously into her scales.  Roughly pushing her head to the side, he turned his body and her head towards the crowd.
"Let me speak loud and clear for all of you yapping cowards out there!" Oculus hissed, putting more weight down on Serena's throat if she struggled, before glaring down at her.  "I don't care what you feel, how you want things, or what you wish to happen!  Your opinion matters to me not!  You think you can just waltz on up here and say anything you want little sister?  Well, you guessed wrong.  How DARE YOU insult me!  And how DARE YOU DISRESPECT IN FRONT OF A GODDESS!"  Turning his attention away from Serena, but not letting up on the paw pressure, he glared at everyone there.  "Those of you who would dare hold back progress will be met with force!  No longer will the NightWings be pushovers!  Today, we will rise from the abyss!  We will show are strength!  And those..." Oculus looked down at Serena, "That impede our progress shall be stamped out of this timeline!  Now dear Serena, you shall go sit right back down in your spot, and not make a single peep, or I will make you the first guardian to lose there position!"  With that, he shoved Serena's head to the side, glaring at her to watch her go back quietly.  He had a mind to banish her from the Nightwings, but he felt making an example of her was enough.  If anyone else should like to try is limits, they better hope they are banished, or their head shall adorn a pole.  Letting out a grunt of frustration and anger, he took a deep breath to try and calm himself.  "Now, I can be a nice leader, and we can all get along nicely.  Or, you can try your petty games," he spoke, now snarling, "and become enemies of the NightWings!"  Glaring at the crowed, he pointed his claw directly at Tenebris, and in a tone that was quite forceful that spoke not to be messed with, "You!  Tenebris!  Kneel here!" he spoke, pointing in front of himself.  Oculus knew Tenebris would like nothing better than to make an angry speech at him, but he figured given what he had done just to his own half sister, Tenebris wouldn't even dare at the current moment, especially in front of Astral.  Oculus smiled to himself, waiting to see if the ex advisor would comply.

Post by Virath Wed Mar 18, 2015 5:01 am

Virath raised an eyeridge at the dramatic scene within the walls. It was odd for Virath to say nothing, but to stay in the corner and smirk grimly. If anything, he was acting smart. He wasn't on his high horse this time. And even if he was, he could be easily thrown off for good. In other words, he needed to shut up. He had no place here. And going around making all these disturbing comments and threats wasn't going to help the situation Virath put himself into.

Virath hunched his shoulders and crouched with his head and neck close to his paws, and his body close to the ground. - As if he were about to pounce on something. But in this stance, Virath only hideously cackled. Now I must say this has gotten out of hand in someway or another. But this Oculus dragon sure means business. Unlike Gemini, who only dealt with important things with little effort or devotion. This "king" may have the chance to earn my respect. Now as for the Serena gal... she was a stupid dragon. Stupid. Ugly. Boring. She deserves to die and to rot wherever even the great Nimbus wouldn't go. If that Oculus wants to show some real dominance, it's best if he beheads her now... Virath thought.

It seemed as if he was more of a critical thinker in his mind then when he speaks. When he speaks, he sounds insane and morbid. No one really knew how much of a tactician he was.

What caught Virath's eye was Oculus demanding loyalty from Tenebris. Virath flinched at this. The one leader he was loyal to and respected, Tenebris (Not the he knew that), was about to kneel before a mere dragon who's age is drastically lower? My my, the Nightwings were one crazy tribe! Virath crouched and watched with interest. Perhaps going here was alright after all.

Ah... it would be nice to introduce myself to Oculus and Astral so I could get a good look at their faces. Making sure they are dissecting material. But I have to play it smart. I don't want this fun to end so soon! He shrieked in his mind. What Virath had in mind to do... would be wickedly fun for the ones who pledged no loyalty to this king of theirs.

Post by Tenebris Wed Mar 18, 2015 6:10 am

Tenebris was watching in curiosity as his eyes moved to fixated upon Serena, her words made him muse to himself, even with his cold apathetic features remaining ever emotionless he found it certainly interesting. Addressing the new monarch so openly and with disdain was a poor choice, even before her words came to an end Tenebris has already come to the assumption that something had to be done, to simply allow her to continue with such a direct insult was a sign of weakness on the behalf of Oculus. Oculus's own kin voicing scorn for his actions and within the open chamber such in this manner, to not react now would mean any regime what births from this is going to lack in stability and doubt

Taken off guard while his right talons fiddled with one of the silver rings adorning his horns on his head as his calculations continued he almost missed the rapid movement of Oculus's talons grasping his sisters neck, he watched in amusement as Oculus succumbed to his anger as he drove her to the floor pinning her down. Tenebris's eyes were the only show of his melancholy as he seemed to weigh Oculus's nature So this is what will define a new era of NightWing culture. Brutality, inspiring to say the least but its shown Oculus's young naive nature, brash and head strong. A short temper which may backfire upon our nation in regards to our relations, but now all will know our new head of state is not to be trifled with, this gesture can only solidified the stability anyone had any doubts with and give insight to our new monarchs autocratic approach, intriguing.

Tenebris found it hard not to admire Oculus, he had his flaws but he was young and could still develop and progress into the herald of a new NightWing future, to lead them to their rightful place. Truth be told Tenebris was only brought back to consciousness to the environment around him outside of his own musings and train of thought when Oculus directly addressed him. Removing his talons from the silver cosmetic ring upon his horn he gave a small nod of mutual acknowledgement and respect towards Oculus before striding forward, his movements were ever fluid and maintained with a regal stature, his head was postured high in a domineering manner and for a single moment it would of appeared as though he would of purposely walked to square against Oculus to not kneel and instead stand in the manner of a challenge. Once he arrived just before Oculus he gazed into Oculus's eyes with his own shrewd gaze before he gave a slight smirk with his impeccable charm before giving a gracious bow, shortly followed by him kneeling in respect. His Wings tilting slightly even while folded as if in submission in kneeling position, his tail then coiling over his fore paws as he awaited for the future.

Post by Xangor Wed Mar 18, 2015 9:08 am

Xangor listened Oculus speech, full of insults and dispotic. It was quite a surprise. Xangor was used to see Oculus as Gemini's puppet: humble, fearful and docile. Maybe it was all a lie. Oculus was in truth a power-hungry dragon that was looking to overthrow Gemini. He has won, since the previous leader wasn't attending the meeting. The queen has mysteriously disappeared without warning. Oculus has probably imprisoned or killed Gemini. It meant his overconfidence and claim to rule was perfectly justified. Xangor started to fear Oculus. This NightWing has succeded into conquering the throne where everyone else was failing. All of sudden Astral bursted in: the Goddess of Moon and Stars. Xangor immediately standed aside, bowing his head in respect. In truth Xangor hated this particular God, but it was convenient to show veneration to make sure the divine being will ignore you. When Astral questioned about her cousin, Oculus surprisingly changed behaviour, switching to the subdued and fragile NightWing. This was confirming Xangor's thoughts. Oculus is a deceiver. Xangor came at this conclusion. The new leader explained Gemini was aggring about a change of leadership. This can be a lie. Xangor thought. It was very hard to believe that Gemini would suddenly give up the throne. Astral simply moved away, maybe to investigate herself about the situation. Xangor also heard Astral about announcing the new semi-God, Celestia. Good news. It's a shame she'll be useless for many years. A hatcling has no value. Xangor erased these thoughts to focus on Oculus again. The new leader returned to his arrogance, offending and menacing almost everyone in the room. Oculus also showed brutality, violently beating up his disobedient sister. Xangor remained contented at the scene. He liked this new direction. It sounded harsh and vicious. This new regime will be remembered for its cruelty. Xangor's hostile gaze turned into admiration while Oculus was speaking. Xangor was still angered about the decision to get rid of the Advisors, but he didn't feel to dislike Oculus. However Xangor was aware that Oculus new regime wouldn't last long. The NightWings political system was so full of corruption, greed and anarchy that an attempt to rule by oppressing others was very dangerous for the leader's life. NightWings were known to be assassins afterall. Xangor himself had assassins like Allistair, for example. Xangos also had tons of territories and a ongoing alliance with Tenebris faction. They would easily get rid of the new leader with their strong authority. It looked that both Virath and Tenebris were obedient to the new leader. The Lord of Neutral NightWings even kneeled down at Oculus order, but Xangor knew this wasn't exactly true loyalty. When the meeting will be over, the NightWings will return to their meticolous plotting.

Post by Loque Wed Mar 18, 2015 2:45 pm

Loque calmly watched as Occulus gave his speech. All this was simply revolting. That new leader was nothing but a brute submitting his subjects by force and threats. In other words, a monarch. Certainly not a leader.
His teeth clenched when the new king forced his own sister on the ground. A frown could be seen on his face, and he was hardly managing not to let out a growl. This scene felt familiar. Way too familiar. Something that was deeply engraved in his memory. He had been once in this position of submission. Never again. Loque forced himself to breath deeply, trying to calm himself. He had come to the Nightwings territory to escape such barbaric ways. Needless to say he was feeling extremely disappointed.
When Tenebris was asked to kneel before the new king, he wished the scholar would refuse. The former advisor's face was not the face of someone who could be submitted. Yet, he bowed and kneel before Occulus. This was disgusting. He knew Tenebris had something in mind and wouldn't let a single kneeling destroy his plans. But letting someone stomp on your pride ? That was nothing Loque could do.
And he was sure this disgusting show wouldn't end there. For a second, Loque considered the idea to leave the Nightwing territory. If living here meant having to submit to this so-called king, he would rather go back to the nomadic life he had before. But a single point made him decide to stay instead : Tenebris. He respected this dragon, as unlike Occulus he was letting him free. He was his leader, unlike Occulus would become his king. And Tenebris had a smile. Loque decided to trust him for the future. As such, the young dragon didn't move and endured the scene the best he could.

What Astral did not know is that Celestia and Oculus have met before. She was a lot younger back then. Now days she was older and had more confidence especially since her mother was around. Sneaking under the two older women Celestia made her way over to Oculus. She had no idea what was going on at the moment and didn't care.

Jumping with a few flaps Celestia landed on Oculus's back. She then climbed up his spine until she was on his head. She was only 2 feet tall hanging out on Oculus's head was easy. She bent her head down and looked into his eyes. "Hi Occy how you doin?" she asked in an innocent tone. "I bet you didn't know I was a goddess when we met sooooooo long ago." Celestia then looked up at the crowd under her. "Who are all these people and why are you up here instead of with them?" She asked.

Oculus felt his claws clenching as Tenebris approached with the same sort of attitude Serena had before. He let a smile show on his features when Tenebris finally settled down into a bow. He was pleased with this, even though he saw angered looks in the crowed. It seemed he had chosen the correct one to bring up first. Oculus was quite pleased. He opened his mouth, about to speak directly to Tenebris when he saw a small little drakka flying and landing on his back. He smiled, looking up with just his eyes as he felt Celestia climb his neck then hang over his head to look at him. Smiling, he lifted his tail, and lightly pulled on Celestia's so she sat on his head rather than dangled off it. "Well, of course it comes as a little surprise little one, and these people are the good citizens of the NightWings. Now, I am a little busy, so just sit on my back for now, or go find your mother, okay?" Oculus spoke lightly, smiling as he tugged Celestia down to his back before looking back at Tenebris. "Sorry about that...younglings...now then, back to business. Tenebris, before I can appoint you a position of power, you must make a blood oath." Oculus spoke very matter, lifting a somewhat large knife with various designs, used only for ceremonial purposes. "Before we begin, you must know that this oath of loyalty cannot be broken You will forever bind yourself with it. You may stop the oath at any time, but cannot take back any words that have already been spoke. Now then, if you wish to proceed with the oath, cut your right palm, and then I will tell you the words to speak, or you may chose not to and return to the crowd as an ordinary citizen." Oculus looked down at Tenebris, trying to judge his reaction to what he had just said. (Sorry for shorter post...busy XD)

Post by Neru Wed Mar 18, 2015 5:44 pm

Neru's whole body stiffened in shock at the sight of the goddess and her children, the scales with stars on them lighting up as one, twinkling slightly. Her claws gripped the holder tightly, her head tipping to the side and her nostrils flaring as she breathed in, scenting the area around her. Why was Astral here? She was unsure whether to fly away or stay, and so, to compromise, she turned invisible. Her whole body relaxed when she disappeared, feeling much more comfortable when she felt as if she weren't being watched. This moment of clarity for Neru was brief, for, only a moment later, the madness was clawing at her mind again, and she assumed a bored expression, a slight smile on, one tooth hanging over her bottom lip. She stayed silent while all the older dragons spoke their part, merely watching and waiting. Wondering what good this could do her, or what hurt she could do to others because of this. She slipped visible again after a few minutes, not understanding why she'd gone invisible in the first place. All these beings were below her, save the ones who were intelligent and succumbed to the Void. They were all maggots, not worthy of her whole attention, but fun to mess with.
