The Southern Attack (Seawings, +Rouges to be claimed)

// This will be about a group of rogues attacking the southern islands of Seawing lands, So rouges can be claimed by anyone no matter the char. Just say you would like to play as one and come up with a name//

It was a quiet day at the summer palace, with the sun shining bright in the sky. With it being the hottest time of year many of the Seawings enjoyed spending time in the Ocean due to the roasting temperatures. This also made the islands quiet beautiful, with the sun lighting up the colorful beaches. Nothing could be better than relaxing on cool calm waves close to a tropical island.

Ark was busy as usual helping Shine with the leader duties, tending to the tribes needs and commanding the Guardians tasks. Being in one of the cooler chambers he decided to see how Shine was doing, after all she was busy most of the time dealing with duties and being a healer. As he entered the chamber he spotted Shine, "Hey Shine? you alright?" he asked with a smile on his face, But before he could continue he heard someone dashing towards the chamber. Shortly after he realized it was a scout from the borders, "Scout whats wrong?" he asked with a worried look, As he stopped he gained his breath before speaking, "I'm... sorry sir.. but I have bad news, rouges from the south have been spotted entering our borders. We don't know how many..."

Ark turned towards Shine, giving her a frown. "Thanks, you've done well... go get some rest." he smiled towards the scout. Soon enough the scout nodded and exited the chamber, leaving them both. Looking towards the ground Ark frowned "This isn't good, why would they attack now?" he asked gazing towards his leader awaiting her response.

((I shall claim a rouge! His name is Yrie. What if the rouges were a group of outcast seawings who wanted revenge?))

Yrie was swimming ahead of the others. He wanted to get to the palace as fast as possible. Normally, no one was allowed to pass the leader, but Yrie was a scout, so he could do that. Yrie spotted a seawing heading to the palace. He grinned and flexed his claws. Yrie charged her, but stopped when he saw that her scales were actually armor. Yrie started his charge again, I can do this. he thought. She spotted him mid-charge and swung her arm out to meet him. ((The armored dragoness is Cuda, by the way.)) His head collided with her pitch-black armor. He prepared an attack but she was ready. She smashed the top of his head and punched him in the stomach. But by then the rouges were had caught up. The dragoness turned an fled, but Yrie yanked her back by the tail. He shoved her into the rest of the rouges, who punched her until she floated limp, then they discarded her. And their leader gained her helmet, too. Little did they know, she was only playing dead.

((Can my Dusk please be the leader of the rogues? ))

Shine turned to Arkhor and smiled, opening her mouth to reply, when a scout rushed in. She listen quietly, and her eyes widened as he spoke. She looked at Ark with worry when they had finished and he posed his question. "I don't know why now..." She answered, turning to race out the door and tot he water. "But I'll bet you three weeks of tuna that I know who's leading the attack."

((BTW, 1000th post! ))

((SHort post ))

Rayla raced into the room, disrupting everything that had originally been there before, and landing basically on top of Arkhor, looking pleased with herself. She opened her mouth and set her catch at Arkhor's feet. It was a two meter long marlin, along with a black tipped reef shark. She seemed quite happy about the catch. As always, her little pal, Mr. Flame, sat atop her shoulder, looking pleased with his mistress's catch as well.

"Hey dad! Look at this! I caught this all by myself!" she said, looking proud as she puffed out her chest, making herself look official. She didn't even really notice Shiningwater, not that Rayla had ever paid much respect to the higher ups anyway, considering the fact her father was a god and the lieutenant.

Letting out a sigh, from Shine's response he replied "You mean... that..." suddenly Ark was interrupted as loud noises rattled down the hallway, It was Rayla. Before Ark could move, she jumped onto his back and released the large marlin down to his feet. Shaking his head slightly, "Rayla this isn't a great time... I thought I told you not to come here" gesturing towards the exit he grabbed hold of the marlin and passed it to her. "Here, nice catch. Go and enjoy it I have some stuff to talk to Shine about."

Soon enough he let out a sigh, frowning slightly gazing towards the floor. "Sorry about that Shine, So you mean the dragon that attacked you and Atlas?" he asked with a concerned look

// Yeah, I'm back I guess my character is urgently needed here xD This is what happened after Atlas has left the tribe. Let me know if it's fine or you'd like I change the post. //

A lot of time has passed since Atlantis has left the tribe. The reason was to find new allies because the SeaWings weren't able to handle all the recent dangers: Dusk, Shine's sister, was the most dangerous element. Dusk was reckless and brutal and she was only looking to destroy the SeaWings, especially the death of Shine. The FireWings were another menace. The fire dragons were often seen near the borders of the SeaWings forest. Despite there was a truce between the two tribes, it was likely a war would happen soon. Earthwave, Atlas brother, was another enemy. Finally there were the sea monsters. Megalodons, sea snakes, giant squids... Everything that was huge, in other words.

Atlas has done a long travel through the ocean with his escort, hopefully to find new allies. It took nearly two months to find other water dragons. Now the SeaWings Leader was heading back to the kingdom, followed by new sea dragons. It has been very hard to convince them to follow him. Atlas promised them tons of lairs and preys. He helped them to solve their problems. He has talked about the Crystals Palace, its comforts and beauties. He talked about Pyyria, a huge realm inhabited by dragons. The curiosity won over the water dragons. They were desiring to visit other lands and switch to a new life.

Atlantis wondered what was happening in his absence. He hoped that everyone in the tribe was fine and there weren't problems. Atlas was missing a lot everyone. Arkhor, Oceana, the traineers, guardians and trackers. He was particulary worried for Shine, his new love interest. She was probably angry that Atlas has decided to leave the SeaWings. Anyway he had a surprise for her. Something that she would certainly like.

((OMG ATLAS YOU'RE BACK! Can I please point you in the direction of this post? https://rpgdragons.forumotion.com/t1317p15-welcome-to-chatbox#24894 ))
((I ask again, Ark, can Dusk be the leader of the rogues?))
Shine turned as Ark answered, ignoring Rayla. She wasn't in the mood for games at the moment. "My psycopathic sister who's only wish is to kill me? Yea. That's the one." She turned, a worried look on her face. "If she managed to scrounge up enough rogues to attack, we could be in trouble."

// Yeah ofc you can, sorry forgot to add that to my last post //

Nodding in agreement, "Alright.. I will focus our efforts on watching the southern islands" giving out a sigh, "Shine remember, no matter how many there are, I'm with ya" as he gazed towards her with a smile.

Atlantis was relieved to locate the shape of the Crystal Palace from a far distance. A line of land could also be seen. Pyyria was near. However it would still take a lot of time to reach it by swimming.
"So you weren't bluffing." A water dragon replied. "The SeaWings really have a huge seacastle."
"See? I wasn't bluffing!" Atlas replied disappointed.
"I have never touched land before. I'm very curious to visit the lands you call Pyyria." Another water dragon added.
"Pyyria is awesome. You'll like it." Atlas smiled.

Shine smiled and nodded. "I know." She then turned to look around. "I'll tell the guard to be on high alert, and raise defenses around the palace." She said, turning to do just that.

---

The black dragoness sniffed disdainfully as her group passed a limp Seawing. One of many. She hissed inwardly, then spoke aloud to the rogues around her. "No one touches the healer and Female Leader. She's mine." She snarled, narrowing her eyes and continuing forward.

nodded and replied "Alright.. I will check over the defenses" as he headed out of the room, he noticed Rayla still messing around close by. Walking up towards her he asked "Are you alright? Things are a bit tense right now, I need you to look after the others don't leave the palace" smiling slightly he awaited her response.

// Go ahead. My character will arrive when the fight will start. Anyway we would need more people for this event //

Cuda regained consciousness on the ocean floor. She was furious, not only did those dragons beat her up but they took her helmet too! However she was smart enough to know she would never be able to reach the palace in time, so she decided to send a messenger. She called out to any Barracudas in the area. The first two that showed up were to send a message she had written. They both nodded and shot off, each with their own note. Next, the other 4 that arrived were to report anything about the group directly to her. The last ones were each fitted with a special emergency note in case something happened. Then Cuda shot off, heading quickly towards the palace.

Yrie didn't see anything interesting. He passed three barracudas without batting an eye, thinking they were just swimming. But these quickly outpaced him heading towards the palace. They wasted no time in depositing a note at Shine's feet. Cuda had described the Seawing they were to deposit their note by well. There were only 4 insults, low for Cuda.

Two yellow eyes opened, and their owner let out a yawn. He was alone in the little cave he and his family lived in. They must have gone out. No matter, he'd go out into the ocean for a while, to catch a meal for his breakfast.

Delph spread his blue wings, and took off. Flying still presented a challenge for the little dragon, and he was completely shattered by the time he'd reached the sea. Without the uplift from the land to aid him, over-water flying was even more difficult. Just a little farther... Wait, no need! A flock of birds were dive bombing into the water, hunting. Fish! he exclaimed to himself, and dived into the water, snatching two before jetting away.

Slowly, he swam to the Deep Sea Palace, to find his family, and tell them what he'd caught, two tuna, when, he was grabbed by four sturdy feet... "Help!" he cried before he was carried away.

Rayla frowned at her father. How come her never had time for her anymore. She growled, shaking her head. Well, if he didn't want to spend time with her, she wouldn't spend time with him. Instead, she decided to go visit the Shrine of Astral. Each tribe had three shrines: The Shrine of Harmony(Kazumi), The Shrine of the Moon(Astral), and The Shrine of Life(Aisha). The only tribes that really had shrines for the gods of destruction, such as the god of death, the god of insanity, and the goddess of war were war based tribes. Some tribes would have altars for the god of death and he goddess of war, to either grant them victory in the war, or to help their loved ones pass on.

As she entered, she was greeted by a beautiful display of levitating, golden orbs. She blinked as she watched them circle around the alter, which was filled with a few coins and some kelp. Why would the goddess of the moon and stars want kelp? Wouldn't she want riches beyond no other? Rayla didn't understand religion, mainly because both her parents were gods, and her grandmother was the goddess of the moon and stars. Rayla wasn't aware that Trinyah had been adopted, and therefore she wasn't TECHNICALLY godly in that aspect. Only healers, semi gods, and some demi gods could actually see the immortals, so Rayla never really got to see her grandmother.

Trotting forward, Rayla sat in the center of the building, silent. Maybe if she stood here long enough, Astral would appear..... nothing happened. Rayla groaned and left, though it would be disrespectful not to leave something, so she left some tuna in the altar, since she knew the goddess liked tuna.

Rayla then made her way back to the ocean. She needed to go practice her guarding skills. She had already gone through two phases of her training, and was almost done with the third. Herself and her siblings were about sixteen to seventeen years old by now, and Rayla would be progressing onto her fourth stage of training soon. She knew that her fourth stage would be advanced stuff, and then they could complete the final test. Groaning, Rayla dove into the sea, swimming against the current. She growled and dove underwater. Like Aari, she could breath ice rather then water, just like her mother, which was no surprise. Water also could freeze to form a thin layer of ice around her scales, but it wasn't as strong as Aari's ice powers. Rayla groaned as she swam against the current, unaware that someone was sneaking up behind her......

((This could be anyone. It could be Dusk, or it could be another random rogue. Maybe they could recognize her as the daughter of the semi god, or something... ))

After having a word with Rayla he headed towards the southern wall of the palace, checking on the guardians who where on watch. When suddenly he noticed a small creature in the waters below. Within moments he realized who it was, it was Delphin. Shaking his head gently, sighing to himself he took flight. With a possible attack coming soon, he had to make sure his family where safe. Coming from his behind he swiped Delp up with his paws, as he let out a cry he glanced underneath him "Hey, its alright Delp, You shouldn't be outside the palace without someone" frowning slightly as they hovered over the palace wall, dropping Delp out of his grasp he gently landed close by. "Delp... I need you to stay in the palace, its a dangerous time.." shaking his head he thought of Rayla, she should be watching them, letting out a sigh he continued "Have you seen Rayla? or the others?"

He quickly felt safe in his father's paws. "I thought you were a bad dragon or something. he explained, and climbed onto his neck. As Delph's father spoke about dangers, he just had to ask. "What dangers? Are you in danger?" Delph pressed, worry filling his his yellow eyes. "If we are in danger, why don't we just ask the gods for help?" Delph thought that the Dragon Gods were an almighty race, that could help, heck, his grand-mother was one!

"I think." Delphin began, not letting his father get a word in edgeways. "I should start training. To become a Tracker." he said boldly, puffing his chest out.

Ark nodded slightly, "Don't your worry about it, You've got a while to go before you can become a full Tracker." nuzzling him with his paw he smiled, "Go and head back to the den, promise me you won't leave the palace" as he awaited his response Ark gestured towards their den.

"Can I stay with you? What if these bad people find the den?" Delph stressed, looking up to his father. Evidently, Delphin was scared. Very scared. Geez, he'd almost been eaten by an orca, and he wasn't scared then. Awaiting his reply, Delph sat, and coughed up the tuna he caught with a cheesy smile.

Letting out a sigh, frowning slightly, "Alright Delp.. as long as you don't cause me trouble" giving him a cheeky grin, and a playful tap with his paw. Since Ark could tell that Delp didn't want to be alone, therefore maybe for now it would be better for him. Stroking Delp's tail, "So have you seen Rayla?"

He smiled, and climbed onto his back. "No. I haven't seen for a while." he says with a grin, and lay down on his father. The blue hatchling got up and hovered infront of his head. "She could be at the shrine?" he suggested, before flapping around near Arkhor, sniffing things, and climbing. I know what I'll do! I'll track her! he thought, and told his dad.

The shape of the palace was taking form, revealing sinuos and tall buildings, alternated by several tower guards. There were also a lot of open spaces, where dragons could sunbathe or plunge in the water.
"I can't wait see the inside of those buildings." One of the water dragons told Atlas with an astonished look.
"I'm sure once you enter the palace, you'll like it so much to not go outside anymore." Atlas joked, very convinced of his words. Afterall everyone loved the SeaWings palace. Dragons from other tribes often come to spend some time inside. The palace had everything that a dragon would wish: preys, lairs, kitchens, living rooms, dining rooms, water pools, playing areas, training aeras and so on. Only the FireWings never visited the palace, for obvious reasons.

Atlantis noticed some activities happening towards a point of the ocean. There was another sea dragon swimming. It was certainly one of the traineers, but Atlas wasn't able to tell the name. He also noticed another dragon, very big, sneaking behind Rayla. Its claws and fangs were lunging to the SeaWing Trainee.
Behind you! Watch out! Atlas sent some sonars towards Rayla to communicate the message. He could yell, but she wouldn't listen him. Instead the sonars could reach her.
"Isn't that dragon in danger?" One of water dragons told Atlas.
"Indeed! We must hurry!" Atlas answered.

((I'm just gonna merge this topic with Gone Missing. Not in a sense that humans would start capturing humans. But in the sense that Ray gets captured by a stray fishing boat. With that I exit this topic ))

Rayla, picking up the sonars, blinked, confused by the message. She let out a yelp of surprise as the dragon dug its claws into her. She snarled at them, twisting her body and attempting to escape. The rogue chuckled as she struggled, but let out a pained yelp as she froze his chest. He snarled. he had underestimated this little brat. Roaring, he lunged at her, scratching her muzzle, and biting her neck. Rayla yelped, freezing the water around her in a frenzied panic. She scraped her claws against the dragons side, freezing the blood. The dragon howled, leaping backwards. Rayla was already an average size for a SeaWing, at about 9 meters tall. She roared again, shooting ice at the dragon through the water. This, in turn, propelled her in the opposite direction of her attacker. After this, Rayla made a quick flip and sped off. This angered the attacker, and he quickly pursued the injured dragoness. He hadn't been aware she could breath and control ice. She must have been one of those demi gods he had heard of. Well, she wouldn't get him next time! Powerful or not, she was still only a trainee.

Propelling after her, the assailant noticed that she was slower then the average SeaWing. He noticed that she had a shark-like fin rather then a dolphin flipper like the average SeaWing. This made the dragon smirk as he pursued her, shooting a hot blast of water at her. She howled in pain, and spun around, shooting ice at her attacker. The ice scaled his muzzle, and he hissed, shooting more hot water at her. In turn, she spun herself, just like her father had taught her, and lunged at the dragon, biting his neck roughly. She remembered a trick he had taught her, and she quickly leaped back, spinning around the dragon, making a whirlpool. The dragon snarled and blasted hot water at the whirlpool, dissolving it. He noticed with surprise that Rayla was no where to be seen.

With a howl, Rayla lunged under the dragon, scratching at his stomach. The dragon howled and shook as Rayla froze his stomach. He struggled against her grip. She smirked, digging her claws deeply into his stomach, freezing the blood. He howled, and she jumped off him, swimming away at top speed. Her scales were abit burned. Rayla had always had scales that were vulnerable to heat, and maybe it was because she was half ice dragon.

Even though she had successfully defeated the rogue, she had suffered burns, and many injuries. She panted, feeling weak, as she let herself drift to the seafloor. She closed her eyes, and decided she'd rest here for a bit. But the universe had other plans. Suddenly, she was pulled up by a strange machine. She yelped, struggling as the net carried her up to the surface. She was too weak to fight back as she saw the fishing boat come into view. The humans injected her with something, and she fainted.

((And with that, I leave this topic. I will carry it on in Gone Missing ))
