Waking Up
He woke up feeling rather... odd. It was really rather hard for him to put his finger on it, all he knew was that something was just... plain wrong. It was as though from head to toe his body felt... wrong. He struggled a bit to get out of bed, falling to land in a heap beside it. He starred up at the ceiling, eyes a bit wide with shock, tail swishing for a moment, thumping against the ground, and then he lifted a hand to rub it against his forehead and that was when everything seemed to go wonky in his mind. He saw it, saw a... a hand...?! He had a hand?! It was a normal thing for any other boy in the world to have a hand like that but for Ryuu who had been a dragon all his life it was not normal by any stretch of the imagination. In fact it was horrible! What had happened to him?! Had he used so much power that suddenly he was no longer himself?!
He rolled onto his hands and knees, terrified to see that he had human legs as well, and made a mad dash for the bathroom that he knew to be nearby. The door closed behind him and he locked it firmly behind him, his entire body shaking violently like a leaf. He didn't like this, what happened?! Why was he in this weird shape? His small hands covered his eyes and he leaned against the bathroom door, sliding down to plop down next to it and he shook. What was... what was he supposed to do now? Human... he was human...?
Ryuusei peeked out from between his fingers and starred at his body which was just... no longer they way that it should be. He was a human boy now? He was a lot bigger then had been, and being normal like this... it meant he was no like he used to be, he was no longer a cute little dragon that could get help from Roxy and Mrrh just by giving them a pair of wiggling, puppy dog eyes. He was... a human just like they were and it was frightening to think. What if that meant they no longer would help him? No longer would want him to be around? Could he still grant wishes? He had no idea... but looking at his stars he realized that they had changed as well. They were no longer a rainbow of colors, they were all silver now... Silver. The nickname that Roxy gave him, just thinking about it made the young male burst into tears. He was no longer silver, was he?
He looked down at his tail, taking it in... at least... at least he had his tail? But... but what else? Did he have anything else left of who he used to be? He wasn't sure... crawling up to his feet to look into the mirror he starred at the reflection in a confused manner. He no longer looked a thing like himself. He looked like... well a boy but... there were little things here and there. His forehead jewel was still present though it seemed as though it had sprouted antennae, his wings were still there only bigger, and of course there was still his tail... only it was a lot bigger now, still ended in a star though. He was... giant too. Far bigger then he had ever been though in comparison to his friends still small, he was shorter then Roxy if he had to take a guess and far shorter then Mrrh had looked the last time that he'd seen him back during that party thing they were invited too.
Still he was big for Ryuusei which was... probably the only upside to all of this. Though as he looked down he realized there was another downside to this human thing, he suddenly realized that he needed some clothing. Oops... hopping down off the counter that he'd been kneeing on to be able to look in the mirror he looked around, "Clothing, clothing... Wish I had some." Much to his complete and utter shock the silver stars that floated around him went to work, whirling around him rapidly and there was a flash of silver light! As it died down he found himself dressed in something simple but cute making him feel a bit like a magical girl... only a boy version of one, "Wow..." To think he could ask for something for himself, it was quite shocking!
He had to do something... what should he do next? Now that he was a boy, now that he could do the things a boy could do what should he do?
Instantly he thought of Ermingild. That was exactly what he had to do! Racing to the room that he shared with Roxy he slipped inside silently and set to work first gathering his things into his bag then looked around for a piece of paper. Once he was able to procure a piece he set to work writing hoping against hope that his writing would be legible to a normal person... that being Roxy.

Somewhat Legible Scribbles I wanted to leave you a letter before I head out, this time because I don't know if I will be coming back as soon as I usually do. I know I always forget to leave a note behind and I don't want to worry you since its going to be alright. Something... strange happened to me, Roxy, I woke up and I was... was like you! Well kinda, only more like Mrrh. What I mean to say was that I am in a human shape! I was so shock I thought I would faint when I saw it at first but now I think that it was supposed to happen so that I could find Ermingild. I have a feeling that something must have happened to the messages that I left behind for him. Ermingild was... a nice enough man, he was just cowed by the scary lady he lives with. I think maybe... maybe that she doesn't want him to find me though I can understand why after what I did to her. I am going to find Ermingild and Darcy, I am going to return her voice to her and then, when she is healed, I am going to try to see about spending some time with my... Daddy. He is that but its hard to really give that title to him. Either way though I am going to try to get to know him, I want to know him. I want to meet him, I want to try to be more to him then just a memory that he might think about from time to time. I want to talk to him... in a way that I can't anymore with Mrrh. I understand that I need to give up there, Mrrh has a new family so it selfish of me to go chasing after him to try to force him come back here when he was never happy here. I saw him at that festival thing on the boat, he was happier there then he ever was when he was taking care of me. I think... I think I am jealous of those people he was with but I can't take away his happiness because I want Mrrh to stay with me. Best to let him go I think. Anyway, he has his family and I want to find mine. You are my very best friend (that is a girl) and I will come back to see you again as soon as I find my Daddy! Maybe then you can meeting him, wouldn't that be great? I hope that you like him, Roxy! By the way I made you a bracelet, its sitting on your nightstand if you haven't seen it yet. I made one for Mrrh as well but... I am going to take that one with me when I leave. It contains my feelings for him and I want to keep it for myself, since I can't have Mrrh I will keep Mrrh's bracelet to wear instead. I love you lots, Ryuusei

Hunting for Family
Ryuusei really couldn't say that he had any idea of where it was that he should start in his race to find his family members, he knew that they were... well they were out there somewhere and Darcy seemed to be the one that was in charge of the household. As such she was the one that he had to get a hold of first he felt. As much as he wished that it would be as easy as he'd made it out to be in the letter he'd left for Roxy. No, it didn't really feel as though this would be easy in any way, shape, or form given that he and Darcy would never be on friendly terms. All that he could hope for was that he would be one day lucky enough to at least visit with is Daddy which she was there without making her angry at him... it was a dream that he would cling to for now, a hope for the future.
The first thing he did was headed downstairs to where the phone was, hopping up onto the counter and reached out to get hold of the phone, picking it up before he dialed in the number he'd memorized that belonged to Ermingild not really even thinking about the fact that the ones on the other end of the line might be asleep given the time of day. He waited as the phone rang, tail twitching from side to side, then gave a squeak sound when someone picked up, "Hello? Hello? Ermingild is that you its Ryuusei!" He said in a rush, waiting and heard breathing on the other end of the line for a moment before there was a click that indicated that he'd been hung up on. Oops... nope, not Ermingild, likely Darcy then? Would make sense why she hadn't said anything, the only sound being her breathing. That had been all his fault, something he felt so guilty over to this day.
Taking a deep breath he dialed in the number again, waiting and the moment someone picked up he spoke, "Darcy? That's you isn't it? Its me again, Ryuusei... look, look I wanna talk to you before I do talk with Ermingild... I want to talk with you and I want to fix what it was that I did to you, it wasn't right that I did such a terribly thing and I want to fix it no matter what. Can you meet me? Please? How about this morning at the park? I will meet you there, alright? I am going now! Please, please come."
There was a long hesitation as though the one that was waiting on the other end of the line was considering it for a long moment before hanging up again. Ryuusei could only hope that her hesitation meant that she would be there. He hung up the phone and hopped off the counter, heading toward the front door. He paused for a moment to give the place a glance over his shoulder, "I'll be back." He said to nobody in particular but given that he was a bit nervous he felt as though he should say it, because he did want to come back here when he could. Once he had fixed things between himself and his family he would be back so that he could play with Roxy once more. They would dress up, eat sweets, and generally have fun as they had before only now he was a bit taller which should make their games more fun! He gave a bit of a smile before slipping out the front door, locking it behind himself and raced down the sidewalk a short distance before he jumped into the air to float toward where his destination was located.
It felt different this time around, he'd gone to the park how many times and yet this time felt so much different. He was... excited, his heart was racing in his chest, and he couldn't wait to get there. He wanted to see the scary blond woman, to fix her, and hopefully he would be able to make things up to her so that he would be able to see his Daddy again. The moment he arrived he floated up a little higher to settle down on the edge of the stone wall and he waited. It was still a bit of time until the sun rose and he was going to have to force himself to sit still and patient until that time...

Ryuusei VS Darcy! Fight!
The sun had come up some time ago which had filled Ryuusei with concern, what if the woman decided that she didn't want to come here? After all she would be meeting with the very person that had taken her voice away from her so why would she want to be nice to him after that? Still being told that he would give it back, that would make her want to come here because she would want her voice, right? He wasn't sure, he didn't understand adults or the way that they worked... so how could he be certain that she would even come here for that? What if she disliked him so much that in the end she just... didn't show up? He hung his head a little, tail going a little limp where it lay in his lap. He knew that he shouldn't have gotten his hopes up when it came to her, but still... still he wanted to believe that it was something he could repair. If he could make it up to her then maybe she would be kind enough to allow him a meeting with Ermingild in exchange.
It was a little selfish of him to think that, to want for her to come here, to want to fix her, in hopes that she would in turn do something for him. Just the thought made his stomach hurt just a little bit and he wrapped his arms around his middle as he waited... and waited. There were some people showing up already, parents with their children, people with their friends, everyone smiling and laughing, and he felt painfully alone. There was a part of him that wanted to burst into tears but it wasn't something that he would allow, not when he'd come this far. If it didn't work out then he would find another way to meet with his Daddy that was all... he wasn't sure exactly how he would it but he would do it, damn it!
There was a little squeak from Ryuu and he lifted his hands up to his mouth in surprise despite the fact that the rather lukewarm curse word was said in his head and not out loud. It was the first one that he had ever thought before in his life! Certainly not something that he had expected to appear in his mind, had he said it out loud it was likely that the little dragon would have fainted dead away and fallen off the wall he was perched on.
If it weren't for the fact that he could all but feel a glare suddenly on him Ryuusei might have missed the fact that he was being watched by the very person that he had been waiting for to arrive. The boy turned his attention to where she was standing, arms crossed over her ample chest, eyes narrowed in a very unfriendly manner, and he could only stare back for the longest time, clearly intimidated by the look that she was giving him. It was so hard to approach her when she was standing in such a manner but what choice did he have? He had to do this now... he was here and she was here, best that they have their planned on meeting since it was his idea.
The boy slid down off the wall and floated over toward her, "Thank you for coming Darcy, I am glad that you did." He said, his voice filled with uncertainty, and he looked a bit like a puppy that had been kicked a few times as he approached her, tail hanging limply behind him, eyes downcast, "I wanted for us to meet up so that we could talk and so that we could clear things up." He told her, tail twitching a little.
The woman starred at the dragon boy for a long moment before she made a motion at him as though telling him to hurry up with it. The little brat, that she would have sworn used to be a little lizard thing, had told her that he could return her voice, it was her only reason for being here and he was standing there trying to buddy up to her in such a manner, looking like some sort of abused pet... it was really making her want to pummel the little brat.
Ryuusei gave a little jump before nodding his head rapidly, stepping closer to her, "I have never... never reversed a wish before, nobody has ever asked me to do that... but I will try to figure it out!" He squeaked, not wanting for her to get mad because that meant that there was no chance that he was going to be able to get her to tell him where Ermingild was at. He held up his hands and then paused, seeming to be trying to figure out what it was that he was supposed to do next. Umm... umm... he started to concentrate on the wish granted so long ago for Ermingild, the wish to shut Darcy up...
It took what felt like forever before a star appeared before him, one that seemed to slowly be funneling power away from Darcy and it appeared complete and solid, in front of him in a flash of light before Ryuusei's legs gave out under him, his entire body feeling all over weak. He'd never done that before, never reversed a wish, and now that he had he felt so bad all over, "D-Did... did it work?" He asked of the woman who was standing over him with her hands on her hips.
She cleared her throat a couple times then seemed to test her voice out by humming before her eyes got wide with shock when she heard herself, "It works...? It works! Ha!" She seemed pleased as she lifted her hands to her mouth in a happy manner, she could do it, she could talk again! That happiness, that smile, for a moment she looked quite beautiful... until her anger seemed to return to her and she turned on the boy sitting her feet like a dog with a chew toy, "You little brat! Do you have any idea what its like to spend so long being unable to speak!? What if I needed something? What if I were hurt? Do you have any idea what you did!?" She spat out, obviously it wasn't going to be as easy as he'd hoped that it would.
"I'm... I'm sorry... it was an accident... I only meant to spit the star at you and... and well Ermingild he... said the wrong thing at the same time and I... I didn't want to do something like that! I am not like that!" He said, looking a bit tearful as he tried to explain it to her, wanting to calm her down, "Please... lets be friends, Darcy... we share something... no, someone really important and I was for us to get along! Please!"
"Friends? Friends?! Us? I think not... Ermingild is mine and I wouldn't let a little brat get your hands on him. Your never going to see him, I will tell him we are getting weird calls at night to make him change our number then you will never have a chance to see him." She spat out in a cruel manner, "I bet your rethinking returning my voice now, aren't you brat?" She gave a smirk before she turned on her heel and went stalking off away from the boy who was struggling to get to his feet, trying to keep up with her but given how long her legs were and how tired he was he had no chance to keep up with the woman... and soon enough he was left completely behind by her...
Ryuusei did all he could to fight off tears as his only clue to where Ermingild was disappeared into the crowd and out of sight.

Scribbles in a Journal It didn't go well at all, did it? I had thought that perhaps if I gave her voice back to her that she would be happy, that she would forgive me, that she would tell me where Ermingild was... I want to meet with my Daddy! Why is it that I am not being allowed to that? What is it that I have done to make me so unlucky when it comes to that particular person? Darcy is a mean and selfish lady... one that I never want to see again... but I want to see my Daddy... its a difficult place that I have found myself. It seems when I want something that somehow I am it ends up with me not getting it... I know that I shouldn't think like that, I don't want to be selfish! I want to make other people happy, I prefer to make other people happy, but at the same time shouldn't I be able to get things as well? I don't have a Daddy or a Mommy, I don't have a home to call my own, and I don't have my best friend (that is a boy) anymore either. I don't want to complain to my journal and I would never complain out loud or to other people, but its hard to think of what I don't have some days that others do have. It makes me feel bad too, makes my stomach hurt, I don't want to be so envious of others... its not right. I just... I think I will try a little harder, maybe if I continue to do good deeds then I will be alright? Maybe if I do enough good in the world then I will be allowed to get nice things myself? I hope so... I think someone had called it karma, I need to get me some of that. Sorry for complaining journal, thank you for listening. For now I think I will stay at the park, I know I could go back to the shop, go back to Roxy, but I told her in my note that I was going to bring my Daddy to meet her and well... I haven't found him yet. I don't want to go back empty handed so I will stay away for now, until I am able to find Daddy. Once I find him I will go back and introduce her to him. That will be such a nice day I think. ~ Ryuusei

Musings I am starting to wonder what is going on with that woman. She returned home from a walk, Darcy has never walked anywhere in her lifetime, and it would seem as though she had recovered her voice in that time. How she did it she never said other then 'it just came back' which seems far to convenient if you ask me. I know what happened, I know how she lost her voice, which means that to get it back means that she likely ran into him, into that little dragon that I had been so close to bringing home with me some time ago. I feel so... frustrated. I want to find him but I can't seem to do so and yet she found him? Where is the fairness in that scenario? ... I mean I know me asking that sounds a bit childish but Darcy doesn't like Ryuusei, never wanted him around, but I do! I wanted him to come to stay with us and I know that I screwed up when everything went awry that day, part of me wishes that I had saved him first and Darcy second, at least I know for certain that Ryuusei cared about me whereas I know that Darcy is with me because I have money. What is it that I should do now? I suppose that I could hire some of those private detective sorts, send them out to find Ryuusei. I would have to be careful though, I am sure that she would notice if I weren't careful. Maybe I will try that? How to go about it though, likely the best way to do so is to pretend I am going out to get her a present to celebrate her getting back her voice since I know that she loves when I buy her things that glitter. I feel a little hesitant in spending money on her when I am starting to dislike her more and more as time passes, find myself thinking its just not worth it but to cover my tracks I have to do so even if I don't want to. Its such a huge pain right in my... Ahh-ha... yes. So that is the plan. I will hire someone to track down Ryuusei and when he finally comes here to stay if needs be I will throw Darcy out before I let her chase Ryuusei off again. After the entry was written out on Ermingild's laptop in a manner that was him trying to vent his thoughts he deleted the words and closed the document, the computer was closed down and he headed out to see about finding himself a private eye.

Hastily Done Scribbles Journal... I know that this is going to sound odd but I think that someone is following me. It seems that each time I look over by shoulder the same man is standing there and its starting to really scare me. What if... what if Darcy sent him after me? When I last met with her she said that Ermingild was hers and that she wouldn't share him with but that surely can't mean that she would send some scary guy after me, right? I don't know... I can't say that I know a lot about her and even when I thought that maybe giving back her voice would be a good way to try to make peace but I was wrong there. I really want to run to someone for help... but I can't do that, can I? If this man really wants to hurt me it would be selfish of me to bring my friends into it. Best that I just try to keep as far ahead of him as possible, he doesn't seem to be able to float like I can so I am able to at least stay a step ahead of him which is something at least. So long as I keep moving I should be alright, right? I don't know why I am asking you, journal, its not like your going to answer me but at least its someone to talk to. Ah! There is again. Time to go. Ryuusei closed his journal, tucked it into the star bag that hung over his shoulder, and raced off quickly from where he'd been standing at that moment.

Sea Dragon Meets Star Dragon: Part OneRyuusei was running as fast as his little feet would carry him, not wanting to float anymore as it would seem that floating around did nothing more then make it easier for his stalker to see him. He had to keep moving, to keep forever ahead of that guy, it was so exhausting and he wanted nothing more then to just give up and hope that he wasn't one of Darcy's minions and that he wouldn't end up dead when he was captured. He couldn't allow for that to happen though, he had to keep moving, so long as he was moving after all he would be able to keep ahead of him... but he was starting to get so very tired, was it so much to ask for to have a nap? He just wanted to be able to rest, just for a little while but it was obvious that the man wasn't going to allow for that, he wanted to keep chasing after him until Ryuu ran himself ragged... it wasn't a good way to make friends he thought in a miserable manner, nearly tripping over his own feet as he moved along as he wasn't used to running so far for so long. He slid around a corner, down an alleyway, and out the other side. This street seemed to be pretty deserted which was a bad, bad thing. All alone he would be even easier prey for that persistent stalker... not good, not good... maybe if he were able to find some place to hide then he would be alright? Ryuusei's eyes darted from side to side, searching for a spot that would be a good hiding place before he spotted one, "Eww..." He muttered before racing forward, diving into the trash can. He summoned all his stars closer, hugging them to his chest as he pulled the lid on top and he wanted... hoping and praying to any of the Dragon Gods or Goddesses that the one stalking him wouldn't think to look inside the trash can for the one that he was looking for. The aroma in here was terribly, enough that it made Ryuu's stomach flip flop around inside of him but he ignored the ill feeling he was getting knowing that no matter how bad it smelled in here that it was worse waiting out there to be grabbed. Besides at least if nothing else in here he would be allowed to rest for a moment... to bad trying to catch his breath in here meant breathing in more and more of the foul air that filled the trash can. At least it wasn't hot outside as that would end up broiling him in the smelly air and he was sure that would leave him unable to get clean again, ever. He was going to get a bath the moment he was able to do so... he didn't care if he had to scrub himself off in the fountain at the park he would do so if that was what it took. Ryuu froze in place as he heard movement outside on the street, it was a strange sound of shuffling sound and he squeezed his eyes shut and he found himself quite certain that it was here and now that he was going to die... the man was going to pop open the lid to the trashcan, he was going to yank him out by his antennae, and he was going to end him... it was so unfair, he was far to young to have a murderous stalker sent after him by an angry, unhappy blond woman! All he'd wanted to do the last time he met up with her was to make friends with her and to make peace with her, he wanted for them to get along since they both cared so much for Ermingild but it would appear as though this was how his desire to meet with his Daddy was going to end... the boy lifted his hands up to his mouth to smother a whimper as the shuffling sound got closer to where he was hiding... ***** Leviathan leaving his territory was something that only rarely ever happened. It was something that happened when he was up to something that was likely... well not good. He was the sort that when out when there was something that he wanted and only then, that thing being something rather simple today. He wanted to find Roll, he wanted to find his human guardian and shake him hard enough to hear his brain rattle around in his head! He'd heard what that human was saying about him, asking all manner of questions of Guppy, and making him sound like he was nothing but crazy! As though nothing at all were going on around or something! He was human though, he was likely in league with the very humans that wanted to kill him and turned his scales into a suit of expensive armor and that was something that he wasn't going to have happen, damn it! Bah, that he had actually been so kind as to allow Roll to survive as long as he had based completely on the fact that the human had raised him to this pointed... though he used the term 'raised' very loosely. In fact the most that he could say about Roll was that at least the man hadn't let him get killed before now... but even that was a bit shocking given the fact that he wasn't exactly a worth while parent, not one that did much or taught him much, in fact the dude was a absolute screw up if you asked Leviathan but to find out now that he could be a traitor. In the mind of the sea dragon hat was just about the worst possible thing that Roll could have done. Even in comparison to such an act all Roll had and hadn't done since Levi had been born into this world seemed almost trivial. He had followed Roll's scent for a distance, as far as he could with natural senses. His sense of smell was better then that of a human but he was no tracking hound, in fact he was struggling by the end to even figure out which direction it was that he should be going in... and in fact as he made it to the edge of town he realized that he couldn't smell the traitor anymore which he saw as a massive frustration. He wanted to find him and wring his not exactly scrawny next but he wasn't going to be so lucky, was he? Damned human anyway... he was going to pay for his crimes, he was just lucky this time around because he'd been able to escape to... well wherever the warmer weather could be found. It didn't give Leviathan enough to go on so he would be unable to follow any further then he already had... it really was a frustration for someone like him, someone that wanted nothing more then to be able to easily deal with whatever got in his way. To his have prey escape so easily had Leviathan's form shaking with anger. A hissing sound escaped from Levi as he turned, about to head back out of town when suddenly the strangest sight went racing through his line of sight. It was something that had him questioning himself and what he'd just seen, surely not... but... it had appeared to be a... a dragon! Certainly not a dragon anywhere near to what he was himself, this one was small, it was overly pretty despite the fact that it was male, and it was trailing sparkles and silver stars behind it. He starred for a long moment as he went racing down an alleyway looking a touch... terrified? He felt his hackles rising at that, the shiny dragon wasn't just running for the fun of it or for his health, was he? No... no he was running from something, wasn't he? He gave a hissing sound of anger, he bet that it was a knight! There was some disgusting knight attempting to slay that little silver dragon! He would be damned if he let that happened he thought to himself, rage filling every inch of his body before he went slithering along after the sparkling dragon. He was going to save it Leviathan decided, he was going to save the little sparkling dragon for the human trying to kill him and then, if he were able to do so, he would kill that human for daring to strike such fear into a tiny dragon! As he got to the end of the alleyway he was surprised to find that he'd lost track of the sparkling dragon. Had the human somehow gotten here before him? Had the knight snatched the dragon to drag back home to slay him there? He wouldn't allow it! He gave another hissing sound before he spotted something odd, a trash can not far from where he was standing there was a single silver star floating in an orbiting manner around it. At first that seemed like a strange sight to behold before it suddenly clicked in him mind what the silver star was doing... and where the sparkling star dragon was. He was hiding in the trashcan? That was mildly disturbing to see a dragon fall so low, it was all rage inducing to find a dragon so afraid of something that it would chose to hide in such a horrible place. He moved over to the trashcan, looking it over before her reached down to take hold of the lid and pulled it over... (( 1614/2500 ))

Sea Dragon Meets Star Dragon: Part TwoThe sound that came from the trashcan was a rather startling one for the sea dragon, it was a sort of... shrieking sound as the little silver dragon came lunging out of the smelling hiding spot in what looked to be an attempt at an escape. Apparently he thought that he was under attack by the enemy and Leviathan was only barely able to catch the boy by the waist out of the air, dragging him backwards, "Do you want him to know where you are?" He hissed out quietly at Ryuusei, looking around as though he were expecting the human to jump out at any moment but seeing nothing he gave a nod then turned back to looking at the one who was trembling like a leaf in his arms, "Scared? You should be, that's likely a dragon slayer that is chasing you! All they want is to kill our kind and make us into armor." He told the smaller dragon before he set to slithering toward where the edge of town was. While he hadn't done what he'd come here to do, that being killing his traitorous guardian, he took on a new and more important task which was saving another of his kind. Ryuusei's eyes got quite wide when he was snagged out of the air, turning to face his stalker, to see the face of the man that had been following him for days now and... instead of seeing a human he realized he was in the grasp of another dragon, something that was, needless to say, quite a shock to his system. It was made even more shocking when it seemed to be that this creature knew who was following hima nd what they meant to do when they finally caught up, "H-He's gonna make armor out of me? Why would he want to do something that awful!?" He cried, finding himself instantly clinging to the larger, stronger dragon, arms and tail wrapping around him in a way that had Leviathan sighing. While it would seem that he was a dragon this one seemed to be even softer then even Guppy was Leviathan thought to himself, nearly rolling his eys. In fact if he had to compare this silver dragon to anyone it would likely be Amelia, they had the same sort of soft, innocent aura about them. He sighed again as this dragon wasn't exactly the sort that he'd been hoping to meet when finally meeting another dragon. After making an attempt to peel the little dragon off of him, but seeing that it wasn't going to happen anytime soon, he gave up and continue to make his retreat from the city, "Yes, armor. Our scales are good for making defensive items out of and the fact that your covered in pretty colored, glittering scales would make your hide perfect for making woman's armor." It was a sad but true fact of dragon life that humans wanted their bodies to harvest everything for their various armor, potions, weapons, and food... horrible creatures humans, wanting to make such use of creatures more intelligent then they were. They really should stick to eating farm animals, it would make life easier all the way around. He gave a pleased sound when they made it to the edge of town before he looked down at the little, clingy dragon before he shook his head, "We are heading to the beach, there isn't a human alive that is foolish enough to come into my territory... and its likely a good place for you to go so I can toss you in the ocean, you smell like a garbage dump and that isn't befitting of a dragon! You need to have more pride in what you are, boy." He scolding him, having no idea that they were around the same age... then again given the difference in their looks how could he have any clue what so ever about something as strange as that? The little dragon looked up at him, eyes wide, then nodded, "T-Thank you and sorry... I know I smell bad but I wasn't sure where else to hide." He admitted, it was a last minute decision for him to dive into the trashcan but it been the only place that he didn't think that his human stalker would look for him... the idea that he would also avoid the ocean that they were heading toward since it was a larger dragon's territory was a nice thought, "Since... since we are going to your safe territory does that mean I can sleep for a bit? I have been running for a very long time, for days now, to keep ahead of my stalker and I am so tired that I don't think I could float at the moment if I wanted to." It really was a strain to have to look over his shoulder every moment of everyday since that man had first started to follow him around. Even if it were for only a short time and while he was able to stay in this other dragon's territory he would take advantage of being allowed to sleep. "The b*****d has been following you that long? I really should hunt him down and slaughter him... but best that I don't, that might bring more slayers after me and I am already having problems with knights and princesses." He muttered, wishing he could do more to help but for the moment what he was doing was likely enough if the look on the star dragon's face was any indication, "Look, you just rest for now and when we get back to my territory, and after you have been hosed off, you can sleep for as long as you like. As a fellow dragon, and not one that is looking to steal my territory or my things I assume, you are welcome to stay a while." Ryuu shook his head rapidly, "No, no! I wouldn't want to take anything that is yours." He said in a rush, not about to mess up this chance for a safe place to sleep, "If I can do anything in exchange please, let me know." He told him, tail wagging behind him in a happy manner, something that had Leviathan nearly groaning against as the boy was starting to remind him of a puppy now as well. The rest of the journey back to the beach that Leviathan had claimed as his was fairly uneventful as halfway there the little silver dragon had passed out, remaining tightly wrapped around the sea dragon the entire way.

Dragon Dreams
He was pretty certain that he was dreaming and it was a rather strange dream at that. In his dream he was his little, tiny dragon self again and he was sitting on the head of a massive blue serpent like dragon. The two of them were soaking up the sun and talking as though they were old friends, babbling on a how much of a pain in the tail slayers were. It was a really strange dream as he rarely dreamed about other dragons... then again he'd never met another dragon before today and what a dragon the guy was! He was big, bigger then anyone that he'd ever met before. He was covered in far more scales then Ryuu himself had, he was just... well... plain amazing! There was no other way to describe him other then that.
Ryuusei wished that he was a big dragon too, one that could take care of himself better, get food better, one that could find the things that he wanted such as his Daddy... he wanted to be a better dragon, stronger and faster, more intimidating... like the blue dragon. There were days he worried a bit about himself and what he was going to do next. Especially with the weather starting to get colder. How as he going to get along if he were unable to find his Daddy? He would be left out in the cold... alone.
In his dream it started to snow around them and suddenly, in a flash, the big blue dragon vanished and Ryuusei fell down into a thick mound of the piled up snow, giving a little 'oomph' sound as he landed. He tried to crawl out of the snow, looking around as though he were trying to figure out where he was, figure out which direction was which, and how to get back to the shop. He was always welcome there after all... though he knew going back there would only remind him of who wasn't there anymore. His best friend who was a boy was gone... but his best friend who was a girl was still there, right? He could go back and curl up with Roxy, they could talk about whatever came to mind, could play, could have snacks... anything so long as he wasn't all alone.
He wondered if that was alright though, Roxy had a life outside of taking care of him and he didn't want to end up blind sided again when she decide that her real life was more important then playing with a little dragon... it had happened once before... no twice before... more was it more? He felt so confused at the moment and he flopped down in the white slow, letting it engulf him. It was rather... cold wasn't it? From his feet to his shoulders felt rather cold...
And damp...
and...
and...
Ryuusei came awake with a squealing sound, sitting up right, and realized that he was up to his shoulders in ocean water, the tide was coming in and he'd been to close to the edge of the water which allowed for it to get the jump on him, "Ahh... cold, cold..." He squeak, jumping up to his feet and floated up off the ground above the reach of the water before he set to shaking himself off. What a huge pain! Who would have thought that the water would come out to meet him like that? Cold, cold, cold! He shook off some more and as he did so the images from is dream faded fast from his mind, completely forgotten aside from him feeling a desire to go back and see Roxy sometime soon.
After he was well rested and no longer had to worry about his stalker he was going to be sure to head back there to see her. He did miss his friend... he just didn't want to bring a bunch of hassle to her doorstep by going there while he was still be followed around by the man who was insisting upon shadowing him.
