Strings of the harp (All welcome)

(Hikari is not ugly btw its just Yoku's thinking)

Bo looked fine as he flew about at the edges of Lightwing territory. He had groomed himself earlier, because always looking his best was the best way of making a good impression. That and being kind always helped.

The silvery male with swirling blue designs passing around his body then banked left and began to head deeper into the tribes territory. His father was probably around someplace, but it wasn't Hikari that Yoku was looking for. In fact he was looking for anyone other than his father's ugly mug.

Maybe somebody would give him something to do today. Kubo liked to help out whenever he could. The problem was that he couldn't figure out what kind of job he liked doing best. Nor did he know which job he did best. One of these days he was surely going to figure that out and be a little more helpful to the tribe. Of that Yokubo was sure.

*Blueclaw looked at the male. He seemed bored but whatever. She was just trying to observe the area before actually talking to anyone. She stayed hidden in the trees and tapped her claw on the ground with a slight growl. She was aggravated for no apparent reason.*

Yokubo had no idea where the woman was. All he knew was that he was getting bored and lonely. He sighed then lay in a corner of the hall saddened at how desolate the place was. Were there any lightwings in the tribe in the place? Or had they all scattered to the worldly winds?

(bump as this is open to any lightwing <3)

(I wish I could join ;-

(Nope sorry ;-; LW only as we are in the palace. Unless you want LW guards after you. XD )

Atrex was irritated. He had been irritated for quite some time at this stage. He was lonely and miserable, with no way of communication due to his shy ways. Another scroll had gone missing. Who was stealing his scrolls and WHY?! This wasn't just some stupid prank, this was someone who knew where he lived! Maybe, Atrex thought. Maybe he's watching me now..

This silly thought caused the paranoid Atrex to pause with a claw in the air and glance around, nostrils twitching with each different taste in the air. Nobody. Just the faint smell of lightwings and the birds that circled the air like vultures. Maybe they were spies, reporting back to their master or mistress on his whereabouts..

"Oh, shut up, Atrex," Atrex muttered, striding forward with confidence. "There's nobody following you." He hoped.. Inside, he was nervous and, unusually, extremely angry. This was not typical of the usually mild drake, as he was always found smiling or chuckling to himself. He was usually optimistic about these kinds of things. He hated having negative feelings and right now felt the urge to find the nearest dragon and smash it's face in.


Atrex spread his four wings and flapped them, lifting him into the air with a force that rustled the smaller trees around him. He soared back to the heart of the LightWing territory, the palace. It was a nice place, and it always calmed him. Atrex landed at the entrance of one of the halls and had to fold them to enter. The four winged drake didn't notice the male in the corner, he was too busy trying not to squirm.

Atrex kept glancing around him, just WATCHING for a twitch of a bladed tail or the flicker of crimson eyes.. Atrex sighed at these thoughts. "Overactive imagination, third sign of madness, first it was talking to myself, then getting mad at little things, and now this. Perfect. Just great," he said, his voice stating to all who could hear his mumbling that he was from a distant land, smooth, yet with the slight 'hiss' at every S, and the roughness of a thick countryside.

Hyruu angled his wings, gliding high over the Lightwing territory. At that time most dragons were working, but since Hyruu was having an unusual schedule it was the time he was free. Just gliding alone felt nice. It sure was for a change since most of the time Aakesh was with him - and a flight with Aakesh was everything but relaxing.
The grey dragon glided toward the palace, feeling a bit bored. He wasn't one to really seek company, but he liked admiring the architecture of the place. However, as he landed on the main platform, two dragons were already there. The first one was Yokubo, a dragon he never really spoke with. The second was Atrex. Apparently he was mumbling something to himself. Atrex always had been that... special dragon.
"Hey. What brings you two here at that hour?" he just asked, curious about what brought them two to the palace.

The entrance to the palace opened as it's grand doors were swung wide by the guards stationed beside it and from inside strode a colourful furred drake. He wore a bright smile for reasons he did not know himself and as his eyes drifted over the symbol covered platform, he caught sight of several unfamiliar dragons close to were he currently stood. What a convenient timing, he was just in the mood to converse with others and personally thought it was not often one did not want to meet new dragons, and Artemix had always been one that did not mind socialising. However, his attention was then drawn by a drake in a corner. With few fluent strides he closed the distance between them and looked down at the Lightwing with a soft gaze "Greetings my friend. Concern seems to decorate your face, what might trouble you?". He then extended a paw towards him in order to help him up if he chose to stand.

(i laughed SOOOOO hard at *special dragon* XD Made my day!)

Atrex jumped at an unfamiliar voice. Whipping around, he did a sort of, 'boxing' motion with his wings. "Whosat?!" He exclaimed, tail lashing from side to side. Then he recognised the hunter. "O-Oh! Hyruu! Good Arkhor, you scared me!" shaking himself, Atrex smiled at the slightly older drake and dipped his head in a quick salute of sorts. "Just decided to go explore. Clear my head. That sort of thing."

At the sound of the great doors opening, Atrex spun around so fast you could barely see it. "Whosat?! Who's there?!" When he saw it was another lightwing he had never seen before, he didn't relax in the slightest. He went into an extremely stiff and upright posture as the drake passed by him, eyeballing him as he strode over to another dragon.. Yokusomething, wasn't it?

Atrex looked at Hyruu again and chuckled nervously. "Heheheeee..." his laugh sounded strangled. It was now obvious Atrex was on edge and EXTREMELY scared. "Hyruu.. you haven't happened to notice anything.." he leaned towards the lightwing and said in hushed tone. "U-Unusual?" he quickly glanced around, all colour drained from his face. "L-Like.. I dunno.. Any weird.. stuff? Like. uh.. anything gone.. m-missiiiing?" he asked, rubbing his forewings together in front of him to keep him from screaming for help from the dragon that was stalking him and stealing his scrolls.

Hyruu couldn't help but chuckle as Atrex began some boxing movement with his wings when he greeted him. He hadn't really snuck behind him, but the other dragon had been so absorbed in his thoughts...
Bit Atrex was looking really on the edge. He listened, blinking, as he simply ask if he saw anything unusual.
"I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary. Why, are you missing something?" he asked back.
The grey dragon had a sigh as he already could imagine what had happened. Atrex had lost something, couldn't find it and went all paranoid... That would be like him.

Mono was a lizard at the current point in time. She had just finished some recon on another tribe, and she was just bored, so she walked around as a lizard. Due to her near constant expeditions, she was quite unfamiliar with most of her tribe, and vice versa.
She spotted the healer, though. She at least new him. His name.... Uh.... No. But she knew he was the healer, so that was something, at least.
Mono decided she would sneak up on him and crawl up his leg to see how he reacted. Slowly but surely, she made her way up, finally sitting on the 40 ft tall dragons head. Just to make sure she was noticed she poked the top of his head.

(btw this is before Yoku was made adviser)

Yokubo sighed once more before the entrance of the healer Atrex. His light head flicked upwards as Bo was given hope that someone might talk with him or tel him to go do something. The adviser only wanted to please, even if that meant doing other dragons work. It was one of his best, and worst qualities.

Unfortunately though the healer didn't seem to notice him. Or he was ignoring Yoku, and that just disheartened the lonely male. He nearly attempted to get up and head to Atrex but paused still half laying down when another dragon arrived.

Hyruu landed causing Yoku's head to turn hopefully to the hunters direction. Hyruu acknowledged him and that made a happy smile appear on Yokubo's streamlined muzzle. His tail flicked to the left while Bo wiggled himself over the floor to face the hunter.

Hello Hyruu. I'm just here trying to find someone who can either give me work to do or simply a dragon to talk to. I don't like sitting around doing nothing. Yokubo answered honestly giving Hyruu a shrug then looked to Atrex. A charming smile was beginning to make its way back onto his muzzle as conversation began to break out. This is exactly what Bo wanted, just some attention was all.

(assuming Artemix is talking to Yoku)

A third dragon appeared shortly after Hyruu did, and it was another familiar face to Yokubo. Artemix was their regent and Bo could tell that this dragon was perhaps more friendly than their healer standing nearby.

Hello Artemix. Yoku dipped his head then accepted the kind offering to help him get up that the lieutenant gave. Getting up smoothly Yokubo then answered his superior.

I've been at a loss for what to do with myself here in the tribe. I don't want to be a civilian all of my life. For a long time now I've been doing odd jobs around the tribe to figure out which I prefer.   Bo paused while glancing to the others in the room. He meant no offense to anyone who loved their jobs even if he didn't like that particular job himself. Then he looked back to Artemix. My father is a guardian, and while I love the look of armor I don't know if I would be a good guardian myself.  Scouting is intensely boring for me, as is hunting though I do like the workout that it gives. Scholar also is horribly annoying and boring. I didn't get five minutes into a scroll before I had to leave and find something else to do. I'm just not sure what my strengths would be good for at this point. Bo spoke eloquently with a few paw, head, and tail gestures mixed into the conversation. Bright eyed and all too willing to help his tribe, Yoku wondered if anyone would actually like the idea he had thought of a long time ago. First he wanted to see how Artemix might try to help.

Artemix listened intently while he gestured for them to walk closer towards the other dragons, occasionally he gave a nod here and there while his mind was working and listing possible solutions for Yoku. He enjoyed the brightened and enthusiasm the young one had and smiled at him. He gave quick nods of acknowledgment towards the other dragons before he answered Bo "Well it seems you have attempted close to every position in this tribe, however don't allow frustration to get to you. We have many more positions you could attempt to master, but first of all what categories do you see yourself strong in?" He questioned in thought his tail waving slowly behind him. "We wouldn't want to waste time placing you in positions where your full potential is not reachable" He then allowed Bo to think as he turned towards the other dragons "Greetings, I'm Artemix." He gave a small bow as he watched the others his colorful fur waving in the breeze.

(I would say this takes place when Uranus is about 12-13, or something like that o3o)

Walking through the palace, Hokzaminn was on his way to visit the Great Dragon Queen. He had been spending an increased amount of time with her, ever since she had her hatchlings, as had been ordered by the Lord King God himself. He wanted to visit her and make sure the hatchlings were doing well. However, as he walked through the palace, a large dragon would pass by him, telling him to head to the front doors.He blinked a moment at this, but decided to do as the dragon had said, anyway.

Apparently, the royal Regent was at the palace. So, of course, the young servant/slave would be expected to greet them. He nodded, bowing to the dragon. He would then turn towards the main hall. He wondered if the dragons would be expecting him. He swallowed. He was hardly equipped for talking to these dragons now. He had his longsword slung over his back, three throwing daggers hooked to his belt, alongside two sais, and a shortsword. Next to his longsword, or rather, on top of it, was a quiver and a longbow.

He had intended to drop this stuff off before visiting Sleenia, and then heading to practice. But maybe if he was lucky, the other dragons would think he was cool. Or something stupid like that, he thought with a small smile.

Hurriedly, he made his way over to the main hall, and spotted a few dragons, simply lounging about. He noticed about four dragons, simply talking casually. But who knew, there may be more. He swallowed, and decided to approach them. He knew what all the royal advisers, lieutenants, and other important people of Devi, looked like. He had served them before, after all.

Approaching Artemix, after making himself known, he would bow to the great dragon dipping his head low, and falling to one knee. "My Great Lord Regent, how are you today? It is of the highest pleasure to have you at the palace (Assuming he doesn't live in the palace). Would you like me to get anything to make your stay more comfortable?" he asked kindly, ducking his head.

Both disappontment and relief filled Atrex's gold eyes. Relief that nothing dangerous could be threatening the tribe (like some weird scroll lover) and disappointment that there were no weird 'happenings' happening.

He nodded. "Yeah, some dragon is stealing all of my prized scrolls! What if they get into my LIGHTWING scrolls, or my Icewing scrolls! They've taken msot of my Nightwing scrolls, and I was just finishing up the last one!" He ranted, his voice raising from panic and anger. Not at Hyruu, of course.

His four wings were all vertically up and stiff as baords by this stage, having unfurled and snapped up while Atrex was talking.

Not noticing the lizard now on his head, Atrex flushed when a dragon noticed Hyruu and spoke to him, then looked at him. Atrex felt his NECK heat up when he smiled, and returned it with his own nervous grin.

"H-h-hiya Yokubo," he greeted the dragon with a wave of his back wing, realising how weird he looked with the wings in the air and the feathers standing on end. "H-how you doing?" He grinned at him. He hoped the dragon hadn't been offended when he hadn't greeted him first hand. He had just been nervous, but now realised Yoku couldn't have stolen the scrolls, he wasn't the type for that. "S-sorry if I seemed r-rude, I was just startled, 'tis all." He grinned at him again, becoming a little more relaxed around Yoku. He seemed nice enough, and was quite the charm, he'd heard. He'd like to get to know this dragon.

Looking behind him at another voice, Atrex went even redder when he saw it was the REGENT! Jumping, Atrex clasped his wings to his sides and waved nervously. "H-h-hello," he greeted the regent with a bow of his head. He was giddy to finally even SEE a regent up close, but nervous of he fact how strange he looked at the moment.

Hearing clawsteps, Atrex looked over to his left to see a dragon he'd never seen before. "Hi," he greeted as casually as possible,before looking at Hyruu. "Gimme a sec, Hyruu, I need some air," he said. He then walked past Hyruu and out of the main hall, glancing at Yoku on the way out.

Mono glared at the dragon when he did not notice her on his head. There was a simple solution to this.
Mono proceeded on to poke his head subtly. If that didn't work, she'd just poke him harder. As she waited for a response, she eagerly shifted her legs, her tail sliding across the larger dragons head.
Her eyes flickered around the conversation, not actually knowing any of these dragons, save for the one she sat on and who she presumed to be a hunter. She did not know if any of them actually knew her, but she just assumed it was safe to say they didn't.

Finding a balcony of sorts with a wonderful view of the orange tinged sky and golden sun, Atrex stood there, and sighed softly. He needed to clear his head. His scrolls were missing, Athy was no where to be seen, and now-

Poke, poke, poke.

Something slid along his head, and Atrex SCREAMED as loud as he could, JUMPING and flapping his wings like a madman, spinning in circles dangerously close to the what looked like hundred feet drop into the Lightwing Territory.

"ITS GONNA EAT ME! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!"

Atrex shrieked his head off, looking like some sort of lunatic as he leapt all over the place, tail lashing about like a whip gone mad.

Lying on the ground, Atrex rolled back and forth, hoping to get it to go away. Tuck, duck and roll! Although, wasn't that for fire?

((How come I didn't see that earlier? Oo))

Hyruu had a small bow of his head when Yokubo warmly greeted him. Yokubo was a bit the opposite of what he was, always seeking people to interact with and talk to, when Hyruu most of the time prefered being alone, with the occasional social interaction. Talking about it, there started to be too many dragons gathered at the same place for his own taste.
"I can understand that, Yokubo. I'm afraid I don't really have a job to give you right now, everything runs pretty smoothly on the Trackers' side. Most of us already don't have a lot to do since preys are so bountiful this summer. You'll have to ask the others about that." he replied to the other male.
The grey dragon couldn't help but smile as Atrex went on his paranoid streak, talking about how someone was stealing his scrolls. But they got interrupted as some other characters arrived at the scene. The first one was he Regent, at which Hyruu gave a small nod of acknowledgement. Hyruu visibly wasn't the kind to perform ostentatory greetings. The second, however, was a little reptilian he had seen once in a while. He didn't interrupt him as he made his respects to the Regent.
Hyruu looked at Atrex as the dragon left the scene, saying he needed some air.
"Alright. See you later, Atrex." he told him before he left.
And, once he left, the grey dragon let out a sigh.
"Who bets with me he just forgot his scrolls in an odd place?" he asked around, slightly smiling.

The little lizard was flung off at the stage of the medic rolling around like he was being attacked by a monster. Mono, although she did not like it, was not intimidating in the slightest. Even as the scariest thing you could imagine, no matter what she was still Mono, and practically harmless unless you got her mad.
Mono, still a lizard, opened her mouth and let out some form of distorted screech. You know the one, the one you here lizards and sometimes frogs make that sounds like a dying bird. Yeah, that one. She did that. Only a few feet from the edge she stood, not quite ready to shift back into her normal self yet.
Apparently this form was much scarier.
She did not know of the medic's usual paranoia, so she felt quite proud that she could be scary like that. She was, however, quite confused why he was so freaked out. She had expected a pause and then a quiet concern, or a jump and a small scream, but this lunatic was rolling around and thinking she would eat him all because of a simple poke. What in Pyrria was wrong with him?
In the few moments that these events happened, she went from proud, to utterly confused and extremely concerned. Maybe he wasn't the medic? There was no way someone this paranoid could have such a delicate job.... Then again.... Maybe it helped?
Maybe the fact that he was so careful and paranoid about everything made it so he never messed the formula up?
Still in the same few moments, she began to appreciate it. She was not the most mentally stable either, it just wasn't a part of her usual personality. He, however.... Well.... It seemed to be a rather large part.
She wiggled her tail in anticipation, hoping he would get curious, rather than roll off of the cliff beside them.
Wait.... Cliff??

Atrex just about died. He kept rolling, shrieking and shouting at the top of his lungs, before he stopped, lying on his back, looking like he just had a stroke and a heart attack at the same time. Panting, he shut his eyes and went limp, his head rolling to the right. For a few moments, it looked like Atrex was dead.

Slowly, Atrex opened his eyes. His vision was blurred a tiny bit for no reason, it happened sometimes, so he had to blink a few times. When his vision cleared, he gulped.

A little lizard was staring him in the face, it's little tail wiggling almost.. Playfully. Or in anticipation, as if it was expecting something.

Atrex slowly lifted his head and whimpered, scooting away from the lizard, before rolling onto his stomach and standing up. Despite the fact he towered over this little thing, he pressed himself against the wall, trying to get as far from the lizard as dragonly possible.

After a moment, he realised it wasn't going to attack him. So his curiosity won over, and Atrex crouched and hesitantly approached.

Now face to face with the lizard, Atrex narrowed his eyes. "Why did you climb on top of my head? My third worst fear is lizards. The second being wasps, and first being gigantic spiders. I met a gigantic spider once.Over ten feet long and it's tiniest eye bigger then you. It tried to eat me. I don't want any more trouble from spiders, wasps, or lizards, so tell me why you just gave me a heart attack?" He rambled, looking half demented. Atrex was stable, don't worry, but he was very paranoid when it came to little insects.
