Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fate's Reciprocate

You lay staring at the cieling, another sleepless night, just as it has been for the past few days, why? You've asked yourself enough times to drive yourself crazy and still have no answer. Thinking some fresh air will do you some good, you decide to open the window. Taking a short glance at the starry night sky, you can't help but notice a single star, much brighter than the rest and apparently... Getting brighter?

Entranced by the strange phenomena, you silently slip outside to get a better view. When the star becomes so bright you must avert your eyes, it's light simply disappears without a trace as a cloud drifts between you. Believing the show to be over, you head back inside, but just as you reach the door a deafening screech fills the air, followed by an explosive crash from the street behind you, almost knocking you over and sending chunks of asphalt rolling every which way. Jumping to conclusions, the "star" had just fallen farther than most ever did.

If you weren't terrified beyond the capability of rational thought, you would have wondered why no one else seemed to be noticing this, as well as why you were walking towards whatever it was that fell from the night sky and left a crater in the street.
This "star", upon further investigation, just seemed to be an asteroid, a relatively small, and perfectly smooth asteroid, but still an asteroid nonetheless. Despite your better judgement, you pick up the rock-- strangely cold despite it's entry into the atmosphere, and take it into your house, setting it down in your room. Even after what just happened, and how hard it had been even before, sleep strangely comes easily to you.


The first thing you see when you wake up: The rock, or rather, several pieces of the rock (That you can see from the pieces is hollow) scattered about the room.
The first comprehensible thought you have: "Oh crap, i've seen this movie before, it doesn't end well".
Deciding to just get it over with, you take a look around, and to your limited surprise, find a small lizard--a dragon, sitting in your your room. You've read plenty of books, and heard a lot of stories about this kind of thing, and in all of them, the best thing that can be done, in the long-run anyway, is for the dragon's existence to be kept a secret. So you just set some leftovers out for the dragon, and head out.

Taking your first step out the door, you realize the dragon has snuck out with you, you would have put it back inside but, taking your second step outside the house, you don't see the group of police officers investigating the crater in the street as you'd expect, but instead you find yourself surrounded by trees, apparently in a forest, and when you turn around back to the door, it's gone, disappeared into thin air. By this point, almost nothing could surprise you, you'd convinced yourself that this was either some sort of odd dream, or your greatest opportunity, and headed deeper into the forest, until eventually, you walk into a large clearing, this clearing has a large pond in it's center, and the one thing you weren't expecting to see, other people, with other dragons.





From the balcony of his black stronghold, high above the Earth, Strath watched over his would-be kingdom with contempt.
Each day the Humans of the world only went for another round of their corruption, ignorance, and apathy. He had watched them for millenia, and time and time again, he saw no discernable change in their nature, and his patience was running thin. His slow, creeping takeover of the world was just that, slow, and now more than ever did the world need to have it's evils cleansed.
But he stood and turned back into his castle, he knew that despite his growing anxiety, staying true to his current path was for the best...
In his wandering thoughts, he was almost thrown over the railing, to fall miles, possibly to his death, by some object hurtling past, nearly within arm's reach. He swiftly regained his footing and scanned the sunset horizon, hoping to catch a glimpse of the object. At a moment's passing he dismissed it, and turned back once more.
As an eerie light momentarily shone behind him, illuminating the passge in front, he turned again, the sun just disappearing behind the Earth. Against the newly shadowed backdrop, a distant smoke-trailed fireball caught his attention... And then another... And another. At first they seemed to be odd phenomenenon, but after a few had fallen, they struck a chord within his memory, of a day that he prayed would never repeat itself.
He hurried through the passage behind him, taking the steps down to the recieving room two at a time, he grabbed his sword and sheath from their stand near the entrance, pushed the grand doors open, and kept at a fast pace to the edge of the platform. Halfway down the path he snapped his fingers twice, calling his mount to him.
Strath's skeletal steed roared threateningly into the sky, and dove, past the chunks of dirt that still clung to the underside of his fortress, past the decaying dragon corpses there by Strath's Necromancy to keep his castle afloat, down to the city below.
He'd much prefer that he remained the only one with a dragon.




You, after investigating the clearing further, reason that this isn't the first time something of this sort has happened, as a number of dilapidated huts, statues of armored warriors with their dragons, and various weapons among the remains of what could only be the racks that once held them are found scattered.
The pond is also not what it would appear to be.
Not only can it can be used to rid yourself of dirt, but of the forest itself as well.
Simply put, those who enter the pond are no longer bound by space, and are therein capable of teleporting themselves to any other fresh water body in the world in an instant, fountains, rivers, lakes, even bathtubs, provided you've seen it at least once before, and it's large enough to hold you.
It also works in reverse, any sufficiently-sized body of fresh water can take you back to the forest's pond.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a place though, it could be an object, in which case you'll teleport to the closest body of water to that object.

Notes
- I'm going to assume all your dragons can breathe fire, if not, please say so. This does not count as one of your dragon's powers I should add.

- The rate at which your dragon grows is 100% up to you, but please try to keep it at manageable levels (No eclipse-simulating dragons within a day or two of birth please), note that things like horns and spikes can be grown at any time as well.
In such cases of fairly major changes, you can PM me with the changes to add to your character form, or I may add them myself, doing my best to stick to any descriptions you may give.

- The activation of a Dragon's powers within another living thing isn't possible.

- **IMPORTANT** Whatever your character's dragon's power, your character can also use it to a limited extent. They will never be able to use it at the same level their dragon can.

Scarlett then appears and asked "Can i come Chris? you know i dont like tio be alone for a long time." SHe had been crying since she knew her brother wouldn't want her to get hurt. but now that Crystal was with her she was protected. she hoped he would let her go with him. she hated being alone. even if she was with hteir mom and dad she wanted to be with Chris more. she had crystal in her usual purple backpack. she had packed some of her favorite foods and was ready to go.

Praveena sat down by the pool, Nia on her lap. She looked at her reflection and sighed. Nia lifted her head. What is wrong? She asked, using telepathy. Praveena looked at her. Nothing...I'm just missing the real world. I wonder if anyone has noticed that I'm gone... Nia nuzzled her chin. I'm sure everything is fine back in the human world. Praveena nodded. Yeah...but I can't help but think about it.

"Nothing too special", he said, turning to face Kat, "I want to see if word got out about us, gonna check some of the news stations and papers, maybe ask a few pointed questions"

Chris glanced down at Scarlett, knowing she probably wouldn't be too happy about doing that kind of stuff.
"Then... I don't know, probably just gonna find something to do for fun", he added.

Scarlett takes his hand and was ready to go. Crystal was in her backpack. she pokes her head out and said "why can't we just stay home Scarlett?" "because i want to go with Chris. you know i dont like to be alone Crystal." they always seemed to be arguing but they weren't they werer just kids playing around.

"Yeah, but I don't know for how long", Chris responded with a faint smile as he turned his attention to Praveena, it would seem as though they had quite a group assembled.

"You can come too if you want, we're just gonna be sightseeing mostly"

Mir nudged him from inside the bag, Can we get going?

Crystal then gets nervous and so does Scarlett but she ignores it and holds her brother's hand. Crystal stays in Scarlett's backpack not wating to go through. she was the big scaredycat but she could fight if it meant SScarlett was in danger.Scarlett looks up at Chris and said "when are we going?"
