Welcome to Gaia! ::

"She might have a bit or reluctance but she trusts me, and im willing to put out a hand of good fait so long as it doesn't get burned in return." Rouchlos comments with a warm smile reaching out a bit on impulse he grabs onto her hand and lifts her most of the way up onto Sulfurs back. the large bet reared to her feet immediately. "In a hurry my dear?"

"Of course not, but this sun is starting to excite my body, and i doubt this girl could take what you do. so i think it would be best to get to the cool air."

"Your not testing her are you?"

"Never" sulfur responds in a slightly sinister tone. her body shifting a few times before she leaps into the air her wings giving a mighty push to send them on their way. the small landing sight that they were once in disappearing int the rolling hills of sand as the wind whipped around their bodies.

The desert seemed like an endless wave of sparkling jewels from the air, and the small outpost just a blemish on the landscape, However Susanoo did not seem interested in the beautiful landscape as he laid on the back of his flying companion. Tenchi soared over the barren landscape, casting his shadow upon the ground. Then, without so much as a warning, Tenchi Flew straight up and did a 180 degree turn while spinning clockwise, sending Susanoo off of his back and free falling in the air. Susanoo flipped over and was falling feet first when Tenchi came back around and caught him on his back. Susanoo remained standing on his comrades back, despite the high winds from their velocity, tapping his foot in slight irratation.

"You know I hate it when you do that, Tenchi..." He growled out, his dragon looked back, with his version of a knowing sneer. As the two did not share a mental link, they had found another way to communicate and could easily read each others body langauge. Susanoo peered over the side of Tenchi, at the desert below, shaking his head

"I hate it here...no grass...no cover...our green asses stick out like a sore thumb" Susanoo remarked as he adjusted his robe, making sure it was on straight after Tenchi had thrown him off. As Susanoo brought his eyes back to the skies, he noticed another dragon in the air...with two riders, Susanoo took a few steps foward on his dragons' back and kneeled down, squinting his eyes to make sure he was seeing properly

"Curious...Two Riders? One Dragon? .....Take us next to them Tenchi, this bears investigating" He said, Tenchi looked back and rolled his eyes, but did as he was ordered, his powerful wings pushing them ever closer until he broke right and was flying right next to the other Dragon. Susanoo patted his back as a sign of thanks and turned to the riders and bowed gracefuly to them

"Greetings, O'wanderers of the Skies..." He broke off as he stared at the woman on the dragon. 'No novice to flying, that is for sure...But...where is her dragon?' He glanced around, but saw no other dragon...perhaps something was amiss here, and he turned back to the two, while one hand went inside his robe and clasped one of the daggers he had tightly.
"Perhaps you should explain why you're riding together...or would you rather I make assumptions?" He moved one leg back and his other infront of it, incase he needed to make a move, and quickly. He stared at them, awaiting their answer.

A strong force of magic sliced through the quiet desert air, straight into the outpost. Even the simple outpost people stop for moment, unsure of the feeling they felt that was gone quickier than they felt it. It was quickly forgotten and shrugged off as a feeling of deja view in the outpost as the people went on with their lives.

However, to three individuals the feeling was immense and very much noticed. Two beings, despite the simplicity of the spell used, were using an shookingly amazing amount of magic to cast the spell to called out to one another over great distances between them. These two beings were not beginners and beings from deep within the past and forgotten world. Perhaps even from the time of the king rang and farther back. The conversation must have been short for the spell ending quickly after it was cast, leaving no trace to be tracked back too.

*Outpost Border*

A lone man on a brown horse sat quietly on one for the outposts many cliffs over hanging the vast desert. His head was bowed and eyes gently shut as he canceled the spell and took a moments breath. Even with his talent and mastery, sending a call all the way to Carvahall was a hell of a job to do. The toll was felt but quickly brushed off and he gather up his strength once more, stretching his shoulders and neck to rid him of the tension in the muscles there.

Brom stared off toward the Spire Mountains that still held as much freciousity as they day they were born. Even from here the mountain range could strike fear into the common or uncommon person's heart alike. "You are alive," he muttered quietly as pulled the reins to make his horse turned towards Bullridge. He had spent three hundred years looking for her, and now he was finally close enough for her to hear his call. Damn woman really meant what she said about fading into the wood work and being forgotten. Maybe he could change her mind. He remember their time together so long ago. Her will faded far quicker than his, especailly with the lost of her dragon that came and fast, but he never had the chance to tell her to wait a bit longer so the both of them could wait out the world together. After all, he knew her since she was a child, and she was really the only person he could bare to be around now, and...well...then too... Hell, he was probably just a lonely old bugger that wanted some company or wanted to have one more challenge ahead of him with trying to keep her will to live going once more before he kicked it himself. Who the hell knew why he sought her out to badly. In the back of Brom's head, a mini version of himself answered his stubborness easily, knowing full well of his reason for searching for her...

Brom chuckled, shaking his head as he dismounted his horse and leading it into the outpost himself. He looked for the lone inn called Ramr. It was easily found, the red structure stuck out like a sore thumb. He was greeted by one of the inn's workers.

"How may we help you wary traveller," chimed the young woman.

Wary was an understatment as Brom spoke, "Stable room, I don't really trust my horse being lone in this place." The woman looked taken back by the words but nodded and showed him to his quarters. The inn was nothing but rooms, so even the stables had rooms built partically right next to the stalls and sometimes the stalls were even in the rooms. "Here ya go," said Brom tossing her a few coins before closing the door. A few minutes later he left the building, place a simple, but not easily noticeable, sheild around the room. Last he needed was to find a horse on this place. "Now, where can you find a good drink," question Brom as he looked outpost.



((It is wonderful to see two new members posting. Please keep it up and have fun!!!!!!! Oh, question to miss Tsubasa...you do have a seperate dragon somewhere in the desert correct, not that the dragon is inside of you and that you can change into one? I really hope it is that latter. sweatdrop Sorry, but I perfer not to have anyone able to change into dragon, besides my character, at the moment. Please understand...no hurt please... gonk ))

"My name is Rouchlos, Rouchlos Litcht. My dragon is named Sulfur, and her name is Maero." Rouchlos responds keeping his body calm from the blast. even though his mind and heart were lit ablaze with hunger. so many questions raced over his soul as he pulled back softly on Sulfurs reins getting her to hover in the sky. a uncomfortable as a ride as it was with the constant rise and fall of her wing beats Rouchlos sat undaunted as one of his hand was softly clenched to his chest holding on to the end of the necklace that rested underneath his clothing.
"My king?.." is the first thing that cut into his mind. and his head turns towards the out post. trying to look like he forgot something, Sulfur nudges him forwards, her hunger was starting to get the better of he and she knew that they need to keep up the appearance that they meant no harm, witch so long as they were not troubled or harmed was true. reluctantly he lets his dragon fly on as he slowly peals his head from the now invisible bull ridge outpost.

"Would your king wish for such a grand entrance my lord? who ever that was, they were trying to find someone. im sure your king would have no need for that."

"I know sulfur, but if that power has returned, than my liege is not far behind him. our troops must be prepared for his entrance."

"All in good time rider, for now you have guests. and the grassy fields breath with the clean clear breeze" Sulfur finishes off her voice cutting into a joyous tone as she dove straight down from their perch in the sky. her blood nearly boiling with excitement as she spotted her first prey.

"come on." Rouchlos comments quickly after she had started her dive. not waiting for questions nor to answer them he lifts Maero from her perch in between her scales and leaps from the ravaging beasts back. with the dragons tail whipping past them in a rush of wind and plenty of sky left between them and the ground, anyone would have snapped into fear at the sight of the free fall. but sticking his hand out in front of him. Rouchlos starts whispering a chant to himself making sure no one could hear him, even a dragons ears would not be clear enough to understand him, his hand stretched out, his fingers extending to their max before he opened his eyes, a strange green glow flowed over his skin like a Myst. but below them the land scape was changing slowly almost like he was drawing it up towards them, but shortly after wards a large jet of wool supported by strong vines wrapped around the two riders gently gliding them to the ground. "am i still that weak?" were the last things to go through his mind before his eyes rolled shut form the sudden strain of his magics. still his spell would hold out till their feet touched on the ground the magic fading away in the breeze as Sulfur gorged herself on a few of the near animals. *edit* The lake that they landed at was more of a river than anything else. because that is what it was just a few miles out of eyes and ear shot of the town of bullridge the river took a straight south path, and widened out considerably. letting the current slow to a near halt the sides of the bans over the years had formed a small beach like angle and soil makeup. the distance from the last known plot of civilization made this one of the safest places that Sulfur could be more of her wild self hunting eating and even wallowing in the tall grasses when it came time for her to sleep. Rouchlos had just nick named this little plot a lake because the water once you were inside it seamed so vast in depth and breath, calling it a river seamed cruel to natures gift to the border of hell.


((Relena, the way i under stand it Tsubasa's dragon is inside her but she does not transform. not like you do. her body stays the same but her dragon is manifest in its true form but only for a little while.... i think but correct me if im wrong Tsubasa))

((Totally neat!!! Definitely creative! Look foward to reading your profile. Need to catch up on them and finish mine... sweatdrop Well, enjoy your posting. I can't do much until you all returned to the outpost for the time being. No rush though...I have three other threads to keep my posting abilities more than occupied! rolleyes

*Suddenly takes on a school teacher's pose and voice, pushing her glasses up on her nose giving the look.*

Now the three of you...play nice with one another! No fighting, and don't even think of killing one another. We are short on members already as it is. evil

Don't make me get the ruler out!!

blaugh lol rofl

Have fun heart


edit: There is no seperate lake thread as there is no seperate thread for each river. Lakes, Rivers, mountain peaks, etc are generally within an already made thread for posting on. Meaning, if a lake, or whatever, is close to town then it is associated with the already made thread for that town and so forth. For example: Leona Lake would be in the same thread for the Capital, Dras Leona, so you would post for both spots in the same thread. Just be clear of how you move around and where you are so people understand you are at the nearby lake and not in a settlement and vice versa. wink Now if a particular spot is used greatly then I might considered making a seperate thread for it, but currently there is no such thing. Besides, the only water related area next to Bullridge is the Ramr River that flows around the outpost and seperates it from the Desert. 3nodding The encyclopedia has a map there for you to use! Also, each thread had an introduction post at the very beginning that should be read to you know what is going on and what is around. )))

Maero was indeed a little shaken up- mostly due to the fact she hadn't been in that exact situation before. Plummeting without the comforting presence of her dragon overshadowing her. She'd fallen from Eleniels back before, but she was always there to catch her with ease.

Craning her neck up to peer at him, Maero's first thing to notice about Susanoo, was the fact of how tall he was! In comparison to herself, and even Rouchlos. He had deep set hazel eyes, and a startlingly rich green mane of hair that trailed down his back. Most people would find this attributes desturbing perhaps, but being someone with odd features of her own, she couldn't be one to judge.
At this close of a distance he'd be able to see her mismatching eyes and the strange rune etching beneath the odd color.

" I'm alright-if not a bit winded. I was caught more of gaurd by that spell that passed over us... then anything else." she replied looking back towards the river bank. It was beautiful here... very calm and safe.

Returning the bow after he introduced himself, she allowed herself a little more of an introduction. " As you know.. I'm am Maero, Maero Ara. I've no other alias... except for one. But I've not heard it in a long time." She looked up at the sky above them for a moment, her thoughts drifting...a flicker of dim light illuminated the odd pale eye on her right.

:::EDIT:::
Maero leaned down and made sure that the unconcious rider was alright. A bit winded, and he'd sleep for a while perhaps, but he was alright. She propped his head on something soft and let him rest it off.

"...a vagabond..isn't a fitting title for someone like you. You have too much dignity. And Rouchlos may have a strange sense of humer..but I owe him my life for coming across me in the desert..." she said, rising to her feet, then turned to the river again and starting walking towards it.

"..if not..I'd not be able to introduce my companion to you both."

~ Are you sure?~

' I'm sure... We can trust them.. I can feel it.'

~..very well. I sense a channel beneath the river.. get closer.. and let me do the rest. I long to stretch my wings.~

Waking up a shortly after Maero walked towards the shore line Rouchlos gently gripped his head in slight pain.
"youve got to stop doing that Sulfur."

"I didn't do anything... you touched my skin remember? you poisoned yourself. why i dont know, maybe to hide your skills from these people?"

Letting out a long sigh Rouchlos sat up wrapping one of his arms around a leg he propped up. looking at the young looking man with a slight discomfort to the colors of his chosen, but no matter he was his own man and seemed vary capable on his own. he'd have to to survive any amount of time with a dragon that was able to fly.

"May i ask you something Susanoo?" Rouchlos comments as he looks at his feet his fingers softly playing with the laces there to make sure the laces and straps were holding. his eyes now locked on Maero watching her with the water reflecting the sun light towards him.

"pshhh... kill me? a young brat like your self probably couldn't lay a scratch on me." Rouchlos thinks to himself as he stands up himself, slow and calmly making it look like his strength was combing back to him.
"How long do you think you can hold on to the dream of fighting for no side when you have so much power at your finger tips?" Rouchlos comments calmly, keeping his eyes away from the boys hoping not to incite any feelings of hostility beyond what was already brewing beneath his skin. thinking back to his comments about endangering Mearo he thought about saying:
"Maero was in danger the longer she stayed on Sulfur. trust me I've tried staying on her back as he took her hunter instincts out on the wild life here. nearly broke my neck and back in three places. not to mention the bruises and serious sprains till she tossed me from my saddle.
but he decided against it. Willing to leave the conversion to drop if Susanoo didn't want to answer his question.

Pulling his clothes straight he started walking for the shore line.

For some one looking so young he sure acts like he knows more than you do rider."

"I now Sulfur, but than again the same can be said for us... lets just keep our calm, we don't need any more enemy's that know our face. hopefully they all think im dead.
