It took the rest of the night to make it back and that was pushing Cosmyk hard. Kelligrin didn't like treating her that way but he also knew that Des was only going to wait but so long. Landing just as the sun was coming up, he slid off the creature's back and crossed his arms. This was Savvy and Des's party. Not his. "Tell me where you want him."

"If you could do me the favor of dragging him down a no doubt dark long rocky tunnel, it would be appreciated." Dropping down off the horse and wandering over to the stones, giving them a kick with her boot to figure them out before she turned them as needed to get the place open to them. "If not...well this will just take longer I suppose."

It would be my pleasure." He hopped off Cosmyk and unsaddled her burdens then handed her a cube of sugar and a pet with a promise to wipe her down and seriously pamper her later. His mother would kick his a** if she knew how he was leaving the Nightmare. But what had to be done, had to be done. Keeping the dragon's hands tightly bound, he reached down and grasped the rope looped around his middle then began dragging him into the entrance. The tunnel was rocky, steep, and full of potential hazards which resulted in a few bumps and bruises for their friend but nothing too major. Arriving in a rocky cavern down below, he tossed his burden in the middle and sat down to wait.

Desdemona looked up from being curled around on herself. and snorted lightly at the presence of those she's been waiting for.
"What took you? I thought you had a target already pre-picked out."
before getting herself up, and flopping down more to face the enterance and lowering her head down to look at the potential home of her lover's soul.
"He stinks of a Rider's camp. hmph. at least this means his body will be put to better use then that."

She followed down in her own way, avoiding what she was able and trying to limit any more trauma to herself for the time being. "Impatient? Just because it was pre-picked means nothing." Snickering lightly at the dragonesses assessment. "Don't be picky. You can mark him or whatever you all do later." Patting their friend between his horns. "Well...scale first." Meanwhile digging into her pocket for the gem that held on very aggitated pirate captain.

Scale duly plucked and handed over. giving a closer look at her soon to be Deacon. nice facial structure, lovely ivory twin horns. a nice well toned sheen to his skin and scales. this was not a rider dragon...even better. then was a Rider itself. lower the numbers of those most hated ranks and turn one of thier own against them. that deserved extra reward indeed.

"Pre-picked only meant I didn't take longer to find him. If I'd had to go through the whole camp, we might have taken days or even weeks." He watched to make sure the transaction was carried out fair and completely then leaned against the wall. "His name's Taerian. Hunter is not a dignified name for a Dragon. Be nice to the body lest it expel the soul that doesn't belong in the first place."

"I'm going to consider your silence to be your approval on him." Grabbing their friend by the horns and forcing him to his front on the ground and pivoting on her heels to loop around him, sitting herself on his back just behind his wings. "Now then. Disclosure time...this will be very very painful. Entering and exiting bodies forcefully is. When he is in his new body, he's not going to know how to use it...that'll be your job to teach him how to do so. Example, he's not goign to be able to fly and he'll probably know not a thing to do with his tail or how to balance his top and bottom weights, transform back and forth. Again, youre problem not mine I just have to disclose things."
Bringing her attention to the gem, she clutched it in her hand. "Now all of you shut up and let me concentrate. No one touch me, or him, despite what it looks likes either of uf may need it." Closing her eyes the gem cracked easily enough to reveal a little whisp that was erratic in it's energies...one pissed pirate. It was grasped in her hand almost like a fluffy cloud.
Her other hand rested on the dragon's back, despite his carrying on. Okay...this was simple. One goes in, the other goes out. Just at the right timing and there ya go, soul popping. For a long while it seemed like she wasn't doing anything until her two hands swapped positions suddenly and simutaneously, pulling one soul out the back of the dragon while inserting the other...it wasn't smooth though. The former owner fought to stay in the body, clinging to it and the pirate fought to stay out...which was expected as souls could feel this sort of torment of sorts. A tug of war ensued for a few moments before one was plucked out and as that one was pulled out, the other was pushed in.
Now her opposite hand held the former dragon's soul and she gave it a look, breathing hard and sweating from the effort just that had taken...a lot more than most probably though. The dragon lay still beneath her, and as she sealed her new plaything into another vessel, she cuffed the dragon across the back of his head. "Wake up you stupid b*****d." Ugh...she was feeling sick from that...sick and weak and ew... "Reaching a hand out, clearly demanding more or less that Kelligrin mosey over and help her up off of the other as well as untie him and what not.

"Rather a stupid b*****d then a self righteous b***h."
yes, hunter's tone of voice in a new body...glancing back at Savvy, before hefting himself up a bit, looking at desdemona's eyes and snout. wings slacked and dead looking, as well as the tail. little bit of short term memory shock...before glacing back and tugging on his own wing.
"Well. this will take some getting used to. not to mention a new wardrobe. Where is the Chimera? I have a star eyed wench to lodge a complaint to."
Desdemona was speechless. utterly speechless. just staring, slack-jawed, at her Hunter Deacon in a very attractive golden form. and She plucked up both elves, one in each big paw and set them among the treasure trove of dragonic tomes, scrolls, armors, weapons...jewels coins...hoards of all kinds.
"Any one thing you want is yours."
before turning her attention entirely to an attempting to stand but not having much luck Deacon.
"Careful. you need to learn to use your tails and wings for balance...here, let me show you how."
the green mist before she was her demihuman state, paying no more mind to the elves while trying to help her lover get somewhat used to a new body.

"You know, I could have you in a glass bottle right now, so you literally owe me your life. You could be a tade more dignified and grateful...or I can do the world a favor and take your ungrateful self back out of it." Offensive and irritated from such tasks that were a heavy burden on her, she wasn't taking any of his crap. Besides...he would get his humblings when he tried to use that body of his, knowing that he wouldn't adjust quickly as the weight, muscle, and most important the temperature management systems were all different. For Hunter...it was welcome to being a hatchling dragon. Eased her some. A smirk to the room in general. "Draconic puberty is a real b***h. Enjoy."
Light noise at being picked up and plopped with Kelligrin, fingers telling her it was shiny, pointy, and valuable things. Seemed Desdemona was more than pleased at the turn of events. At least someone was, damn it. She didn't have to do any of this and she could reverse it if she wanted. He didn't deserve second chances at life if he was that ungrateful of a creature. But lying back in the cool metal she gave a soft groan and a sigh. "Extra reward is appreciated, regardless of someone's ungrateful nature. I just need a moment first."

He'd been reaching for her when they were both picked up, and it was by sheer discipline that he didn't lop off Desdemona's hand with his sword for interfering. She meant no harm so he relaxed and glanced over Savryn. She was going to be shaky for the next few hours or so since that was a massive energy drain. "Take as long as you need. I think we're in for quite a bit of entertainment."
Said star-eyed was already there. "You will go by the name the elf has given you. You will not speak to anyone of this. Ever. You will find a story to explain who you are and why you are on this ship. You will follow my rules, my direction, and my commands and you will afford me the same respect as the other dragons do. I can and will remove your soul once again. And the necromancer will no doubt find another or simply insert your soul back in this beast. But it will cost you."

Desdemona frowned.
"But he is not the dragon Taerian. he's the pirate Hunter Deacon. why can he not use his own name. the rightful captain of the Chimera."
Desdemona crossed her arms, while still trying to help Hunter stagger around and learn to walk again.
Hunter himself regarded the star eyed girl with a look that was borderline disgust and outright hate.
"Touchy demanding little thing, just as I remember. I much prefer your male counterpart."
Staggering about a bit before falling into Desdemona's arms as she caught him before he hit the ground.

Rolling over onto her side, she had half curled up in the cool metal they were sitting in, and yes she was watching somewhat amused. Ears twitched at the familiar voice...she could only hope they didn't start fighting...she couldn't handle that right now and it wouldn't be appreciated. She was already peeved enough with how ungrateful he was, despite how Des was equally oppositely rewarding. "Better grab something to your liking, Kelligrin."

"He is the dragon Taerian. Hunter Deacon, the rightful captain of the Chimera is dead and will remain so forever. I will appoint you as Captain and you will perform your normal duties and look out for your crew."
"I already did. Feel around and find something that you would like. I've seen quite a few things that would be to your liking, Vryn."

Desdemona still frowned.
"I don't understand. The dragon Taerian is gone, from this form, caught by Savvy in whatever she's got him in. the soul in this body is Hunter Deacon. I don't understand why he cannot use the name that is best describing of who he is."
Petting over Hunter's horns, who was dozing off a bit due to overheating, since he was trying to adapt still to being in a new body.
