Sodain sighed watching it. "You know that power outage a few hours ago
when the power core of the generator at the top of this massive
underground cavern that powers the wind generators and everything? I
used the ruby crystal power I had to restore the core to the main
generator but because it was so high up from the air generators the
air grew very stale and I passed out. This young lady mentioned if I
wanted to remove the crystal powers from myself so I could live here
with those of my kind as dragons dont really wander out of this city
these days. And to help break an imprint I couldnt break even after a
broken heart that lasted 15 thousand years the imprint did not break
likely having interference by the ruby crystals appearently while I
was passed out she took me to Kaa and he transferred the crystal power
from me into her then sent her to new Syna. Where Syna's royal castle
area landed when Syna broke up and fell. She in sort of a sense freed
me. But in another stole my powers of the guardian."

Sodain explained to them. "While I was interested in the proposal I
had a few questions and things I would have needed to do before I
could choose to give up the ruby crystal. Like finding a willing
person to house them in and train their minds for a few years to
prepare them to take on the powers of the ruby crystals I inherited
upon my mothers original passing. Though my mother was the one before
me to have the ruby crystals. She still could not fully use them for
some reason. Even the simplist purification or low energy crystal she
could form used alot of her Sura... Her energy and she had to sleep
for nearly a whole day to replenish yet when I got them I could from
the start do things she could not with the powers. And only a massive
single color ruby enternil energy crystal that recharges with the
elements of power or life would make me weakened like when I restored
the power to dragonia before the air generators fully stopped. And
with foul air in a drained state would I passout." Sodain explained.

Sodain waited a little while form the two males and Silvia to
understand it. Then went on. "Mira as you just called her. I didnt
even get that far in introductions with her has taken to house and use
these powers without the proper training required to handle the
uncomon ruby powers. While not as powerful as a rare crystal it is
uncommon and has a large power usually it takes 100 years of training
and the power is transferred slowly so the person can slowly adjust. I
was an exception to the slow transfer of ruby crystals. It takes a
really strong mind to not be consumed by the power and not letting the
power control you. But without training and getting all the power at
once is rare. But it tends to become chaotic and blacken the mind and
heart of the unprepared. I think with me being part phoenix helped me
to use and control the ruby power." Sodain said as observations of the
ruby crystals in his lifetime.

Sodain sighed. "looks like it cant be helped. Can one or both of you
go to elder Kaa and inform him of Mira not being compatible or strong
enough to deal with the ruby crystal?" Sodain asked his friends as he
would try to keep her distracted from being totally corrupted by the
power taking flight with his flaming wings swooping to pick Silvia up
as he flew towards the surface entry woth Silvia to give a little time
to think.

Wolgar huffed. "firstly I did not know how to get a hold of you to
inform you. Secondly based on how you act around Sodain I did not
think you would be upset if he gave his powers away to free you from
his constant advances. Afterall he did it to break the romantic
obsession with he had towards you so you would relax more around him.
He gave them up for you." Wolgar huffed at Kuri and frowned not caring
if Kuri felt the same towards Sodain or just felt as a friend would
but hated seeing the pain Sodain put himself through confessing his
feelings for Kuri. Plus werewolves did not really like vampires that
much and spoke aggressively towards them anyway and Wolgar was no
different. Sodain arrived with Silvia and walked in grabbing Wolgar.
"Be nice to my vampire." then let go and grabbed the handle to the
door of the room which was not easy to open when the devices of the
room was activated but Sodain made no fuss opening it even if it meant
he ripped the door off.

Walking into the room Sodain folded his arms shaking his head. "You
where not prepared. There are steps to take to prepare you to take on
this power. You want other crystal powers as well having still a
connection to those ruby crystals and being this close I can feel your
wanting of more. But though while up to 5 crystals able to being fused
into a special crystal out of others which creates a self recharging
eternal power source that will not shatter after so long a time. Only
one crystal power can exist inside one person safely. To greedily take
more then one as part of you risks your health. And risks turning our
entire body into a crystal form like Grimlord the angel blade. He took
3 crystals into himself and was turned into the white crystals that
Dragonia was built inside that was the reaction as well as him being
absorbed into the aincent crystal blade he is now a part of." Sodain
said lecturing her on the dangers. "Yes I was interested especially if
it meant I could break the imprinting.

But you took it upon yourself when you was not properly trained to
recieve them and stole them from me before I was actually ready to
give them up after making the proper preperations you a studant of the
laws of nature and magic transferance should have known better then to
just have them transferred to you with taking on the proper training
just because I lost conciousness after repairing Dragonias power
generator you power hungry thief." Sodain did seem a bit upset. "And
if I would have had to transfer my crystals to one unprepared until
one was found I would have chosen a dorment housing vessel one to hold
the power without being able to access it until a proper user was
found. Which you are not a proper user the crystal is fighting you and
feeding off your natural powers making you corrupted and power hungry
to feed more. I most likely was able to resist it because of being
properly trained by the holder before me. And the ruby crystal seen me
as a worthy user most likely because of my mixxed blood."

Sodain said this then moved fast grabbing Mira's arm where the sealed
ruby crystals showed themselves and became engulfed in intense flames
which was absorbed into the ruby crystals making the power and
crystals so quickly force fed power they went to sleep calming her
desire for more power until Kaa arrived to see and possibly offer a
type of fix even if it meant Sodain had to have them transferred back
into him.

Sodain looked to Mira thinking. "Thank you Kaa. I do see potential
with Mira. Normally as untrained as she is to handle this power. It
didnt totally consume her like someone else would have been. She does
show a similar resistance like I had when I first had gotten the power
after my mothers first passing. But to be sure I think blocking her
use of it for now is best she will still have the crystals showing but
I will train her how to control them if she is willing to try again
and willing to listen to my training. Because of my phoenix blood for
a crystal user of this strength of crystal I have lived much longer
then most. As some crystals can reduce the lifespan of the user.
Though have not really seen this or felt it from this crystal. But I
know I should have lost the power of it passing to another many times
over. But due to the phoenix blood when I was cut down a few times I
turned to ash and reformed and the power stayed with me because of
this." sodain said sighing.

"But if she is willing to try again and shows a strong ability to be
compatible after training she can keep them. But after training if she
is still incompatible I will take them back and be among the sky
people again until the day a compatible replacement is found." Sodain
said with a tell in his voice how he longed to be with his fellow
dragons. But if he had to he would give up being among other dragons.
"Though the sky people are my friends I long to be with other dragons.
Yet still would call the sky people my friends and still visit them. I
could be a bridgeway between the dragons and the people of Syna. As
well as to humans and hopefully one day our kin can once again return
to the skies like the old days." not sure if Kaa was old enough to
have lived in those days but knew some that remembered the days of
soaring in the skies of days long ago.

Sodain laughed at the one guys reaction to the castle finding it quite
humorious. "Ah innocent youths that have not experianced the old days.
There was a time when Syna was aloft in the skies that the royals of
this castle where just as awed dragons wanted to be their friends and
allowed them to live in the skies that dragons ruled as the scale
kings and queens of the ocean of clouds. Though back then there was
many phoenix as well that also flew and ruled the skies like royalty.
Though they was referred to by the royals of fire feathers as we
dragons was called the royals of scales." Sodain said smirking to
them. Then smiled to Mira and held out his hand. "come we will find
you resting quarters you will need it to start your trainning." Sodain
said softly the engineer dragon girl raced about. "Wow this place is
bigger then I thought and my estimates where way out of proportion for
the engines it had before it is suprizing the engines previously held
it up the way it did. But these plans fix that." she said.

Sodain lead Mira to a room in the castle he himself had used from time
to time a few of the rooms had been done up for the rest and play of
dragons. But it was still like royalty sleeping chambers. "This is a
dragonized room." Sodain said showing a rather tall ceiling and a bed
large enough to hold at least two full sized beast forms of dragons.
He went to a spacious closet letting Mira take the splendor of the
room in. "this door behind me is the closet. It is where your clean
humanoid form clothing will be stored." showing there was a symbol
looking like a hanger on the door. Opening it there was a mobile rack
system. The controls wight on the inside of the door. There was a
dress of somekind inside and he blinked turning the rack on spinning
it to bring the dress to the front. The dress looked fashioned similar
to dragon scales though seemed alluring in style a front indent of the
leg area would allow the wearers legs to be shown as she walked from
below the knees and an area to show

the material below the neck line was a this white transpearant
meterial to show off cleevage without exactly exposing the skin and
upon looking this dress over Sodain sighed and laughed. "Oh my... One
of mothers old dresses I'm not sure she ever wore it though. As its
still in the plastic cover." he snickered a bit. "there is also a
balcony that well its probably burried under snow right now but when
Syna was among the sky it was a good take off and landing area. And
the door to the right of the closet is the bathroom. The tub in there
is almost as big as the bed. And there should be some scented bath
oils still in the bathing closet. And all I know is if Syna was still
in its splendor you might be asigned a personal matron to help prepare
your bath and stuff. But Im not entirely sure if that will happen this
time around." Sodain said and waited to let it all sink into Mira's
head. Waiting for her to adjust to the aspect of the room. "let me
know when your ready to get your rest and I will take my leave."

Elsewhere in the machine room the female dragon engineer gasped
stepping inside racing around looking at the different machines
studying them and gasped seeing alot of the things her great great
grandfather built. Placing a hand upon one of the machines. She sighed
then hugged it. "Hello Ohmpa." she said just hugging it with her eyes
closed as if waiting for it to respond to her greeting but the machine
just remained silent. But for no reason she spoke. "Don't worry Ohmpa
I will fix you up good as new." then she stroked it and let go looking
it over taking notes of a small crack from the impact. "Hmmn this will
not do at all. Must be hard collecting water for the endless purity
system. Less storage quality then originally designed no?" she said
looking to Kuri and his sister. Then looked to them.

The engineer dragon girl blinked looking at Silvia and zoomed over to
her questions in an odd tounge flying incomprehenably fast as she
circled and felt Silvias armes and poked here and there wondering how
she could have carried that large creat of parts like that she was
completely marveled by how Silvia was. Then she seen the parts jumping
her eyes sparkling and dove into the box a few small parts spilling
out as she looked them over squeeling a bit excited popping up even
more greese like smudges on her looking to Kira and Rosatil pointing
at them "out." then pointing to Silvia. "stay" and went back to
looking at the parts examining everything then jumped out placing the
odd pack from her back on the ground pushing a few buttons it whirred
and transformed into a large chest of tools and a huge table to work
on and her eyes darkened as she went to work. Cleaning parts and
fixing them if needed and welding them here and there if needed
seeming almost a blur a floating glowing crystal of pale blue floated

behind her as she worked and tearing a device appart something shot
out and would smack Kuri in the arm. And the sound of hammering and
rapid flow of sounds words so fast it wasnt able to be understood as
she worked fixing the parts first.

Atnok's post from e-mail:

The dragon woman engineer grinned tossing a rebuilt part to Silvia.
"water resivore condensing amplifyer." she said to Silvia and then
started working on another part.

As Silvia and the engineer dragon woman worked to fix the devices of
the crashed main body of Syna and Mira rested to restore her energy
from the conflict of battling the ruby crystal power. He left a note
with directions as well as an outfit looking kinda like a bathing suit
but it had runes and odd gems decorating it. The note reads. "If you
wake before I come to get you wear your training outfit and follow
these directions to start your training." Sodain however was in his
humanoid dragon form no signs of phoenix looks on him and he was
swimming in what looked to be a lake that was steaming like a hot
spring. Yet the bushes and nature around made people question if they
was really inside a castle still.
