Welcome to Gaia! ::

Taking in a deep breath, Maelthra stood in his human/elven form, relaxing momentarily as he kept his right hand on the hilt of his sword, resting it there lightly for the time being. He closed his eyes for a few seconds before quickly drawing out the blade when he reopened his eyes.

Once his weapon was out, he went on to perform a number of quick slashes and thrusts out in the small clearing he currently trained in. The elder turned a number of times to attack in different directions, as if he was battling some unseen enemies by him. He even occasionally threw in a kick or two while he was working with the sword.

After one final forward thrust, he brought the sword back, holding it to the side and slightly behind him. As he did this, he blade of the weapon slowly burst into flames before the man stepped forward and spun around swiftly, sending a circle of fire around him as he slashed the air surrounding him.

"YAAAAAAH!!!"

Soul had found it hard to walk around without changing into her elf form. The trees seemed to like to close in and make it hard for an elder to get through, or she was just picking the wrong places to go. But that was beside the point as she looked over at the Dragonfly that seemed to be talking to himself about something.

"Have something on your mind Ganondorf? You seem to keep talking about someone."

Ganondorf had almost forgotten the elder he was walking next to. He had been thinking again and letting his mouth move. But when he was deep in thought he really couldn't care less what he did. "Don't worry about it elder. It is just a small problem that I might deal with at sometime."

The elf watches him for a long moment then looks back to the clearing that they were heading for. The thought again of why she was with this dragonfly crossed her mind. It was because she had not met many dragonflies around and this one seemed different some how, and it was not the odd clothing that he had on that was different about him.

Soul stopped for a moment as the clearing came closer. It seemed an elder was using a sword. Better then she could ever had hoped to use one but then again she had never had been able to get her hands on a weapon when she was running. She watched for a moment before looking down at Ganondorf who seemed to be watching closely.

"I'm still very confused about that process, Volvagia..", Zelda muttered, stepping through the forest. She seemed to be clearing the path of foliage, since Volvagia was a fire dragonfly, she didn't want to catch it on fire. "But, I don't want an explanation either, I'm fine in my wonder.."

Volvagia shook his head. "Don't remind me..now I know how you females feel..", he chuckled, and his nose caught whiff of another flame. Obviously not the charred ground below him, but, something else.. He didn't want to stray path though, in case he would catch the forest ablaze. Whatever though, he knew he might be able to find it out soon.

Zelda turned her head, stopping for a moment. She wondered what was keeping him. "What's wrong, Volvagia?", she asked him, still scooting dead leaves away.

Volvagia turned back to her and let out another chuckle. "Oh, nothing Zelda..", he then caught back up to her, keeping his same distance.

Maelthra heard a number of voices nearby, but he paid little attention to them since he was busying himself with his training. Most likely it was just a few others that were passing through the area and nothing else.

The dragonfly in elven form let out a small breath as he slashed up into the air before quickly bringing his sword back down hard, almost cutting into the ground. He had stopped his blade a few inches above the forest floor to prevent this however. As he let the sword tip hover above the ground a few moments more, he stomped forth and slashed the air once more, igniting his weapon once more as he swung.

This wasn't the greatest idea on his part, since a part of the flaming blade brushed by a dry fern as he lowered his weapon for another strike. As a result the small plant quickly ignited.

Noticing this almost immediately, he turned about to try and quickly stomp out the fire before it spread to anything else.

Soul watches the movement for a long moment then holds back a laugh when the grass set on fire. It seemed to move quickly and a bush went up and she heard the yelp and starts towards the fire to make sure what ever had been caught in it was able to get out. She really wouldn't care if she got a few burns.

Ganondorf didn't move because he didn't care if a dragonfly had been in the fire. He was more watching the sword welding elder that had set the grass on fire with a smirk.

As the fire spread onto a nearby bush, Maelthra frowned as he quickly kicked some loose dirt onto the foliage to try and quell the fire more. Though as he did so, he jumped slightly as he heard a loud yelp, followed by a young pup darting out of the bush quickly.

"What the?"

Stepping back and pausing his efforts to stop the fire, he stared at the strangely clad pup with a sword and shield. Before he could say anything else, some movement near the bush caught his attention, bringing his gaze up to see another elven-formed elder making her way towards them.

Soul had made her way past Maelthra and towards the pup. "Don't be so quick to just up and go. Are you hurt?" She carefully looked over him.

Ganondorf had spotted Link and growls he came forward from his place. "Two bad the fire didn't get the pup. It would save a lot of work later on."

Maelthra stared as quite a few other dragonflies came out into the open. And from the looks of things, many of theme knew each other. Well, namely all of the dragonflies that were dressed strangely seemed to know one another. In any case, this really wasn't something he expected to happen in the middle of his training session.

"That would be me.." he replied while glancing over to the lava-looking dragonfly with the fiery mane and helm.

Shaking his head, he glanced at the youngest in this gathering, letting out a small sigh.

"Sorry there..."

Ganondorf growls at Zelda and doesn't move any closer. "Dear Zelda, how nice it is to see you again." He flicks his tail and looks away. "Lucky little pup..."

Soul lets out a sigh as she sees the pup nod that he was alright. Looking from for Ganondorf to Zelda she shakes her head. "Old friends?"

She stepped past Ganondorf to speak to the other elder. "You seem to be able to use that sword well, but maybe it might be better to set it on fire when you know you will not be setting anything else on fire? I'm sure you hear this all the time about your flames." Her peers at the other dragonfly that had came with the Zelda Dragonfly. "It seems a lot of those with fire have been popping up."

Watching the group with a bit of confusion, Maelthra slowly stepped away from the other dragonflies as he sheathed his sword. Then looking over at the other elder, as well as the fiery dragonfly that seemed to burn the ground he walked on, he shook his head lightly.

"Yeah.. I'm working on keeping things under control... I'm getting there sort of.." he mumbled with a sigh as he turned more towards the adult male that addressed him.

"I gotta say you're the first to seem to have fire infused with you... Not exactly the same as what goes on with me."

Ganondorf would have loved to go up to Link and attack him but with two elders, Zelda and the fire dragonfly it seemed he was a little out numbered. "Keep snarling little Link. Next time you are alone you had better be ready."

Knowing Ganondorf was not one that other liked she noded then sighs looking over the pup once more. She was glad the pup had not been traped in the fire because it might have turned out badly.

She watches the other elder for a moment because she didn't normaly see others in there elf forms. She then turns and looks over the fire dragonfly carefully. It seemed that it would be a bit hard to walk around without setting things on fire.

Too bad the same doesn't quite go for me just yet...

Grumbling mentally, the elder looked at Volvagia with a slight nod. It wasn't the greatest feeling that a dragonfly that wasn't an elder was able to control fire better than he was at the moment, but he supposed that was because this other dragonfly appeared to have been born that way. Just as he had been born with his wings really.

Shaking his head slowly, he looked towards the trio who seemed to have some tension between them all, then towards the other elder. She seemed to just be observing everyone at the moment, but he couldn't help but wonder what she was doing with the one known as Ganondorf seeing how that male really didn't seem to be all too pleasant to be around.
