Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Hey, if you wanna try playing Fleet Foot that's fine with me. I'd just pretty much have her follow you around whenever you come near, cuz she's pretty much in love...well, as much as she can be. She trusts Toreth. Don't know why, but she does. So, if you feel up to it, she's all yours.))

The owner of this thread is no longer within the Guild. Either you guys continue without him/her, or PM the creator of the thread and ask if you can become the owner of the RP. If the owner agrees to let you, PM me and I'll Edit changes for you in the first posts. Or you could try and convince him/her to re-join C.O.S.T and stay active.

((Well, we're getting nowhere at the moment, so I am going to force us to do something. If either of you don't like this, tell me and I'll do something else. Heh, forgot the Dragonlance's name. Whoops.))

Down by the lake, Tanneth lifted her head and turned toward where the other pairs lived. She shifted and bugled alarmingly, flapping her wings.

"Cali, something bad has happened. I cannot feel Tyrkennen's presence anymore. I cannot find him."

Her mind-voice rose in fear. Unable to do anything else, she launched herelf into the air and turned herself in the direction of the clearing, circling above. Cali straightened quickly, startling Green Wind and the others to their feet. The hair on the back of her neck rose in fear. The Dragonlance was missing. Cali could think of nothing worse. Without a dragonlance, what would become of the other dragons and riders? What would become of them? She turned to Ryan and Toreth, whipping her head around so fast that her neck cricked.

"Bad news," she said softly. "The Dragonlance is missing."

She tried desparately to keep her fear in check as the enormity of the situation began to overwhelm her.



"Yes. Torokal, Chandra, Calidar and I are going back to the others. Please inform your riders."

Green Wind, Tanneth is going to land in the clearing. I'm sorry, but I have to leave.

Green Wind gave a curt nod of his head (a very unwolf-like thing to do) and herded the rest of the pack further into the forest, out of sight. Only Fleet Foot remained.

"Tanneth and I are going back to ask the others for answers," Cali said. "You may come if you like. If not, you can always contact Tanneth."

With a grace amazing for a creature of Tanneth's size, she glided down to the clearing and backwinged to land, for once not adding any antics. She crouched down low and waited impatiently for Calidar to mount her. Almost before Calidar had fastened the safety straps on the saddle, Tanneth had launched into the air again and was flying toward the others. She was more distressed than Calidar had ever known her to be.

((Okay, this may be a little egotistical of me, but no one is doing anything at all and I am bound and determined to keep this thing alive and going, so I am going to do something. I may not be the leader of this thread, but we don't have someone to lead us, so now we shall all take charge. I shall begin.

We have already experienced the quiet before the storm.
Now we shall plunge to its center.))

Tanneth arrived at the compound in record time. She deftly maneuvered herself to the compound's ampitheater where, only hours before, they had all assembled. Now they would assemble once more, this time to overcome the loss of Kyala and Tyrkennen, for they were indeed lost. Tanneth landed on the platform at the ampitheater's center and let out her loudest, ear-splitting roar (more anguished scream than roar, but "roar best describes the magnitude). Calidar would have been shocked underany other circumstances that her calm Tanneth could be so upset, but this was different. This was tragedy. Tanneth roared again, and Calidar unfastened the saftey straps on her saddle to slide down beside her dragon. She and Tanneth had their head up; searching the skies for their fellow riders.

"We must all stand together. But how can we stand when we are dispersed across the land? They must not be allowed to separate now. We must all find a solution."

"I know dearest. And we shall. Together, we shall find a way."

Eagerly, they scanned the skies. Waiting for the Riders to answer the summons. Once more, Tanneth roared, holding the note for a full ten seconds before cutting it off.And then, they waited.

**((My heart is so full and overjoyed at the fact that this thread is not long dead that I swear on the ancient Riders that I am near tears, but that does not fully lift the overcast of my disgrace at my neglect to Gaia and all of you. I humbly ask for all of your forgivness. I have, thank my lucky stars above, been re-admitted to the guild, but I will officially turn over my once held post of BattleLance if that is the general concensus. I totally understand. However, I also want you to know that I have a computer of my own and the opportunity to remain faithful to you all once again. My fingers itch to start a million word post to start that battle but I won't do that unless you say I can join you as a Rider once again. All my most heartful sorry's and apologies are yours to have.

thank you so much,
Nell ))*

((Nell, by all means join us. I doubt that any of us would object. You are, after all, the creator of this thread and therefore its heart and soul.))

[It was lame of me to not post in here, but I never knew when Nelly was coming back and I've been stumped as to what to have my characters do since I got a bit lost from other posts, I'll be sure to go back and actually read over them now. 3nodding ]
