Feathered Stranger

First topic message reminder :

It was the middle of summer. The sun was beating down heavily, a slight breeze swayed the trees, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
The day was perfect, as most dragons would say. The day was calm, peaceful, and-Nevermind.
The trees were whipped up by the force of the wind the massive wings caused, and a triangular head set on a long neck surveyed the ground. Her gold eyes brightened when she found a large rock in a clearing, and she reached out with her back legs, claws clicking as she landed awkwardly. She allowed her wings to drop to the ground, the three claws at the joint of each acting as forefeet. She settled herself comfortably on the warm rock, and allowed herself some sleep after a long days travel.
Who is this strange beast? She is not a bird, as some may have assumed by the feathers. She is a traveler, a wanderer, and a dragon in need of a place to call home.

Gemini lashed out at Volcanis with her jagged tail. She knew that she usually punched him in the head, so he wouldn't expect this one coming. She swept him off his feet and loomed over her, shadows obscuring her face from view. Only two glints of her eyes shone through the darkness. "I'm getting sick and tired of your flirting, Volcanis. Knock it off, or you're dead meat. Understood? I'll personally drag you to Shadowfire and make him punish you." She glanced over at Frostflare. "Do you even know who you were talking to? That 's Frostflare, the former Queen of the IceWing dragons. And you're not the "Boss" around here." The demon blood inside her was raging to get out, and slice Volcanis into smithereens, but Gemini managed to hold it back. Blood! it screamed. Give me blood! I know you want to spill that idiot's blood, so why don't you? I AM you, after all, so I know what you want! Gemini growled to herself. No. She couldn't let the beast out again. It had killed too many dragons in the past. It was best to keep it locked inside of her until she was able to fully control its power.

Volcanis didn't notice at all the tail. His reflexes were good enough to dodge the blow, but Gemini successfully caused a little scratch. Volcanis looked at his paw that was slightly bleeding, but nothing bad. He looked at Gemini with an amused look. Volcanis didn't understand that she was truly angered. So he just played around her behaviour, thinking that she was just intimidating. "Come on! What's wrong with a bit of flirting? Are you jealous?" He teased Gemini. Volcanis has revealed in the past to have an interest towards the NightWings queen. However he couldn't know if Gemini liked him. Certainly not. The fire dragon was totally unaware of her demon, though he has already suspected that something was wrong with Gemini. She looked to be apparently quiet, but her violent methods were the mirror of something dark inside her. Volcanis shrugged it off. "Xylnthian is even a worse playboy than me." He chuckled pointing his claws towards the FireWing Strategist. "Dead meat? Hmm... First you have to worry to not become cooked meat." Volcanis smirked. An aura of fire was forming around him while magma scales were surrounding his body. He glanced at FrostFlare "Former Queen? She can be the Queen or my toilet. It changes nothing for me." He laughed at his own joke. Volcanis became more serious, a challenging look in his eyes. "If you're looking to have a little struggle, then I'll gladly exchange some scratches." Volcanis was excited at the idea to challenge a powerful opponent: the NightWing's queen. It would be a excellent test. She was the Queen, true, but Volcanis was one of the strongest warriors in the tribe. So Gemini was going to have a hard time against him. Volcanis showed at her the scratch on his paw. Gemini could smell the blood around it. "You have wounded me. I'm going to return the favour now." He growled, menacingly showing his fire claws.

Shao watching he growled, from the arrogant one getting out of hand...or paw so to say, it was instinct to do something....With a flash of his eyes time had appeared to stop around volcanis for several moments as he stepped out, Shao confronted him "If your going to attack anyone it's going to be me arrogant one...You believe your size and strength is what makes you powerful? Then why not fight real power" Shao smirked as time resumed...His eyes flashing again causing the trees around to burn and crumble to dust, Shao grunted silently, his power wasn't ready to be used which caused him harm though weakness was not shown...He challenged the firewing that posed high threat.

SnowFall was still resting against a tree, but was restless. She was tired of Volcanis's flirting, mocking, and was now trying to pick a fight. At least Xlynthian was quiet and not really flirting anymore. "Yes, I got a problem with you setting fires all over the place, Volcanis. I won't be able to rest peacfully.. Oh and stop towering over me. It's annoying!" Snow wasn't trying to pick a fight with a fire dragon, but the older dragon was a nonstop mocker. Gemini had tried and warn him and also gave him a few scratches, but he didn't seemed to care. Shao finally came out to pick a fight with Volcanis. "Oh no.. He just did something really stupid.." Snow sat up straight in case if she needed to break up a fight.

Gemini just stared at Volcanis blankly. "Why would I be jealous of you?" she snorted. "In your dreams, FireWing." She sat down and regarded him through half-lidded eyes. "If you want a fight, you've got one. But I warn you. I'm a tough opponent to beat." She smiled wryly. "A Queen's gotta be strong to protect her tribe." She glanced at Shao. "Hello. Who are you? You look like a SeaWing." Her eyes flashed dangerously and a shadow reached out and snatched onto Volcanis's shadow neck (XD). She strangled him, but made no move to tighten it further, but her claws were ready to clench at the slightest threat that he made. "Be careful, Volc. Watch your next move carefully."

Frostflare burst into laughter. "HA HA HA HA HA! ME? QUEEN OF YOUR TOILET? HA HA HA HA HA HA!" Frostflare then quickly became more serious. "If anything you are Queen of MY toilet" She stated s she slowly went on her hind legs outstreaching her large crystal wings, to show him how big she was. She sun glimmeren through her clear wings. Frostflare towered over the Firewing. Frostflare's eyes trurned red. "Dare challenge me?" She asked.

Volcanis was surrounded by three dragons that wanted to fight him. He totally ignored what Shao was saying. The smaller SeaWing was neither worth the consideration of Volcanis. Shao looked to be weak. So the FireWing didn't care much about the destroyed trees. Volcanis hasn't indeed realized that Shao has actually destroyed them. The fire dragon glanced at FrostFlare. The ice dragon was very mighty and Volcanis would gladly battle her. However he has already challenged Gemini. "Can we delay our challenge to another day? I'm busy with Gemini now." Volcanis told to the IceWing. The fire dragon could finally focus his attentions on the Queen.. Volcanis noticed a shadow claw approaching him. it was lunging at his neck... No, his neck's shadow. "Your shadow tricks won't work with me." He told her while charging fire's energy inside his body. He suddenly released around him a big wave of fire to irradiate the battlefield and cancel all the shadows around. It wasn't an attack, but an attempt to create light and directly hit Gemini with one of her weakness. Volcanis has already fought Twilight in the past, successfully countering her shadow attacks with the help of fire's light - and a bit of luck. The Queen looked to be a stronger version of her sister, but Volcanis was aware that fight was dangerous. He was happy to finally have a great challenge.

Frostflare sat down to watch the battle. She began to talk to Volcanis. "You won't win Flirty." She knew that the Nightwing queen was different from most queens, Frostflare shared many things in common with Gemini. Especially having a Demon.

Shao just watched as they just ignored him and went about their petty conflicts....Sure lets not pay attention to Shao, he's just a small seawing no one ever met and never seen what he can do...Pitiful. Though Shao was rather prideful now, such a big monster everyone said was 'so powerful' backed down. Amazing. Oh well, Shao can let Volcanis run off in fear, "Pretty pathetic to fight females over males don't you think?" he said as he turned around and left feeling confident now. Lucky him, Shao didn't have to teach him a lesson. Shao appeared small but he was the Republic's best Valkyrian fighter. Such training was much much higher then the fighting styles here, Volcanis would've lost anyway. Shao walked back and sat on his haunches by a tree, ignoring the brawl for it was just a child's argument.

Frostflare herd what Shao said. "Hey Flirty! Did you listen to tiny over there? He had quiete a point. Why don't you stop playing big boy while trying to fight girls when you can fight real full grown male dragons!" She said mockingly at the Firewing.

There was a second flash of brilliant light, and there was no longer a feathered dragon in front of them, but a burning fireball. Asaya was no completely covered in hot, hot, hot flames. She lunged at Volcanis in an attempt to tackle him to the ground, and slashed the claws on her wings towards rapidly, then stood between him and Gemini, glaring at him. "Ah've never seen more of a coward." She snarled loudly. "Yer no great warrior, jus'a a big bully who made his way to the top by pickin' on others who're smaller than yeh." An angry grin passed over his face. "If yer so mighty, let's how you do against someone yer own size." Her gold eyes were flashing dangerously, her mind winging back to memories of her childhood, of the bullies. If there was one thing she despised, it was a bully.

Volcanis charged at Gemini to launch a physical attack, but he was interrupted by Asaya's interference. The FireWing jumped back with surprising agility, coming out from the range of the enemy claws. Volcanis snarled in frustration, scratching the ground. He was so close to challenge one of the most powerful dragon in Pyyria, Gemini... But this feathered dragon has ruined everything. He looked at her with anger. "How dare you to interrupt the fight!!!" He roared. Volcanis was so focused on Asaya that he completely ignored what the other dragons were saying. The FireWing was going to attack Asaya, but her words stopped him. All his memories were rushing in his mind like a roaring train.  This female was accidentally hurting Volcanis feelings. "You don't know my story..." He snarled while looking down nervously. Volcanis has accumulated too much tension. It was too much too handle... Volcanis growled intensely, his amber eyes were slowly turning into two fire orbs. The FireWing wasn't discerning the other dragons anymore. They were all targets in this moment. It was happening another time. Volcanis couldn't risk to unleash his fury between all these dragons. He turned away from her and spreaded his wings to fly away from the FireWings territories, towards a destination he didn't know...

// I quit this roleplay //

Frostflare yelled at him. "What a coward you are! I bet you just didn't think you could win against us, and you couldn't!" She then looked at the dragons around her. She though. "Ugh, weakling. How dare he even try to battle a queen then back away.

((Oh boy, I'm sorry, Vol, I didn't mean to, I swear!))

Asaya blinked in sharp response at the male's reply. She allowed the flames sparking around her to dim and go out and cast the fleeting form of the male a curious look. She glanced back at the others, abashed. The crest on her head lowered. "What'd ah do?" She asked them curiously. This wasn't what she meant to happen.

// It's ok ^^ Volcanis has simply left the roleplay, but I have nothing against you or your character. My last post wanted to be a plot twist. Volcanis is fleeing from the battle. //

The IceWing queen was sitting at the side of the tree waiting to see what would happen. Volcanis was going to battle Gemini and somehow, Asaya, the FireWing tracker stepped in. "She's stronger than I thought she was," SnowFall thought. Then as Asaya started scolding Volcanis, he seemed to be getting angry at everyone else. Snow sat up straighter in case she had to break a fight between all the dragons. Not what the queen thought, Volcanis left the group. Her lieutenant starting teasing him. She stood up next to Frost, "Be quiet Frost," she hissed. Then she looked at the direction Volc went. She turned her head. He didn't seem to be returning to his tribe. Then she turned to Frost, "He seems to be upset at something right now. But not us." Then Snow looked at Asaya, "I don't know him very well. But I don't think you did anything wrong, Asaya. He seems to have a rough day, today. Don't worry about it. We'll see if he comes back." She went back to her tree and wondered what was wrong with Volcanis.

Frostflare looked at her queen "Snowfall, why would he challenge a queen then just back off? Maybe he might not be a coward, or anything else I called him. Maybe there could be a reason." She then tried to think od why, but nothing likely came to her mind.
