Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Lycan jerked the box up away from kuri seeing how week he moved he appeared removing the chameleon shield his eyes turning from like a lizard to wolf laughing shoving Kuri back hard over a stool. "Heh got you good, you could not detect me because of the enhancements I can adapt to any barrier field when I activate that chameleon aspect and you never find or smell me." then he punched Kuri in the head to knock him out recloaking as he ran out the room vanishing with the box leaping onto the wall of the tower outside as he fully vanished.

Sodain sighed. "Good your back. Now all will be fine. mess with us and I might do it again to punish you. Though in doing so I punish our princess as well and I..." Sodain frowned looking out the window. "Damn it Kuri." He groans and sighs more. "Sorry for not sticking around longer but I must go." And saying that he poofed into a blood red puff of smoke that vanished into a pin sized dot with a tiny snap spitting the silver spoon out as the last of the smoke vanished. Spitting it out so fast and hard it flew hitting the titan door frame punching through it out the other side.

Sodain appeared in the tower close to Kuri running to him shaking Kuri and then carried him to the dark room behind the black door he told the expedition team not to enter it was dark and knew it would help Kuri laying him on the large bed that was like a large animals nest. Feeling Kuri's pulse seeing it was weak and he sighed. "Not feeding properly huh Kuri." Sodain said using a claw he shifted at his index finger. Sodain cut his own wrist slightly and dripped blood into Kuri's mouth holding his wrist close to Kuri hoping the smell of fresh blood would wake him to feed.

Victor came outside putting his hand on Lita. "Hey Lita. Arosa is back, and Rosatil my niece is better. Sodain got Arosa back from limbo. You have come a long way, and you will still master your powers to come. I should know because you though about 10 years older then you are now sent me a message 10 years ago. from the future, so it shows that your power can transcend time it's self. You told me to come help Sodain, and to help his mother and her best friend Silvia for the fate of the future."

"You just told me what to do and what to research to be able to do what I did through the night. and a date and time and to be exact. Which I was and have done what I was needed to do. Thank you." Victor said. smiling a toothy fanged grin. "I thank you deeply on behalf of my son and my wife for informing me how to get them back." then he winced as the sun started peeking over the wall and hissing then poofed into a red mist zipping off towards the castle to hide in a darkened room.

Sodain sighed. "Well they don't know how to release just one do they, And I doubt because Larik killed his shadow twin long before the pillar keys, of the three shadow warriors got made, I am sure he didn't have enough time to make offspring with his powers Larik's shadow I mean. So I believe we are safe for a while." Sodain assured and hoped he was right Sodain said trying to offer Kuri more of his blood so Kuri could regain his full strength.

Sodain closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. "I smell mutated chameleon and wolf blood mix. moving fast to the north along...." Sodain smirked. "..Well if the thief is heading north on the razor mountain path I am sure those ladies of feather and claw who love both wolf meat and can smell chameleons hidden though no others can he is very unlucky to have gone that way." Sodain said softly and ran his fingers softly through Kuri's hair to fix it a bit and smiled softly to Kuri and then felt drained himself as his hair softened in color though still blood red and gained a few strands of white hair.

Sodain lay down and cuddled next to Kuri laying his head on Kuri's chest speaking softly. "You can drink more if you need to regain your strength Kuri. But Oddly I am sleepy now after father added more of his burning blood into me when he removed that black crystal from my body at the base of my head." Sodain said then looked as if he slept like a dead person or more like a vampire recently turned, though the sunlight didn't hurt him it seemed to make him sleepy.

But after a few minutes Sodain breathing very shallow ended up shifting into a female frm in his sleep which only happened when Sodain seemed fully asleep and relaxed tilted his head smiling gently and spoke in a soft female voice. "My....Vampire...." then Sodain went silent partly on Kuri's side though Kuri would be able to get free if he so wanted.

Niados looked around then down getting up sitting up and sighed looking to Roberta's room seeming sad. "What about Roberta? It wasn't her fault I um... fallen smitten towards her wanting to keep her and run away with her." Niados asked fidgeting his fingers blinking how Victor hissed at the sun.

Niados nods shyly. "The way I feel towards her, I dunno why but I feel some kind of connection to Roberta. And I at least owe apologies to her and her parents about everything, I just felt I had to do something, yes while we was to capture and turn her over to the king of shadows. But ever since she touched me that first day where she got trapped in the barn in that storm."

"I just... Feel like I need to be near her. I even had many thoughts of defying the master. But I swear I will never let him have her if I can help it... Though I also might need to figure a safe way to disconnect Arosa from the masters hold of obedience on her." Niados explained to Lita following her. "I even thought to take her to the white lands. Though it would have hurt me I knew she would be out of his reach. After all it was the birthplace of the sword Sodain uses." Niados said softly. As he approached the Innkeeper, his wife and Roberta Niados kinda hid behind Lita keeping his head down.

Sodain slept deeply and tossed and turned a bit in his sleep before turning into a full dragon beast form and curled into a ball.

The innkeeper watched him with a not so pleased look on his face. Guards at the ready to capture Niados as he glanced up with his eyes only as they slitted up then returned to human. "I first want to apologize for the damages to your inn sir. I will help to fix it if you want." Niados said then looked towards Roberta who held onto her mother still shaken.

"My master is a very evil being, I say being because he isn't exactly human. He looks human but he has lived over 5,000 years. He desires more power which he has found a very old relic that syphons the life force of others, From people like Roberta who are skilled with very special abilities. It's true that I was moved by Roberta's kindness towards me, as well as her innocence. I even helped to calm her during that storm when the tree fell against the barn doors. Niados said fidgeting with his hands a bit.

The innkeeper scowled and interrupted. "There was only steeds in that barn that night and Roberta was the only person and I would have known someone that looks like you slipping into the barn." He said and was about to say something else but Niados interrupted him back by changing into a lizard mount right before their eyes. "As you can see I am not exactly human myself. This is what I am, I am an ancient being known as the scaled guardians humans named our kind dragon out of fear not knowing us or trying to get to know any of my kind. They even tried to wipe out every last one of us out of their fears when it was my kind that gave first the wisdom of fire. then the wisdom of how to defend and build shelters,"

"from that over the years human kind with secret help of our kind who survived by developing the ability shift into other animals and even humanoid forms. had helped inspire humans to the point they are now. But that really is just a intro to what I am. Niados said transforming into his humanoid form as best he could still aspects of his dragon bloodline showed.

"Just know when Arosa the woman working with me came here we had the sole purpose of taking Roberta to my master, But due to Roberta's kindness I pretended to be working to do that the second attempt to do that which well did not go as I planned. I had formed several plans to run off with Roberta to keep her from my master getting to her, Even if I took her to a land very few know about, and even fewer can go into. Even though it would have most likely because of the darkness I had held inside me."

"Even though it most likely would have been my death I would have taken Roberta to the white lands. While it is covered in eternal snow on the surface to hide the truth of what is there. Even my master would never been able to step near it, nor any of his minions or abilities. I was prepared to sacrifice my own life and well being for Roberta's safety among others of my kind. those who are not infused with darkness." Niados said looking down shaking a little. "This was my plan before another of my kind. Of mixed bloods used the sword that was created out of the white ore found inside the white lands to extract every bit of darkness out of my which freed me from my master's control." Niados said softly.

But then he kneeled bowing before Roberta. "I wanted to keep you from my master even at the cost of my own life because no one has ever shown me kindness. I hide my true dragon form mostly because of shame. I feel if I was to take it no one would see me as an equal because I have been beaten, tortured, and left scared all over my body Because of my shifting abilities I have been able to hide all the ones that have not fully healed over thousands of years that I have existed for. But that day you tending to my needs with kindness in the form of a lizard mount. I... I fell in love with you Roberta. I felt as if I never wanted to be apart from your side for very long. And I felt this connection to have to keep you safe no matter the cost."

Roberta smiled softly, Her father glared but still shocked at this information spoke. "I forbid it. My daughter is not about to get with some beast that has terrorized, endangered, and traumatized my household!" The Innkeeper shook out of anger and a bit out of fear his nostrils flared a bit.

Roberta just looked at her father shocked and pulled away from her mother as guards made a move to seize Niados to block them. "If that's how you feel about him father, Then what have you thought of me all these years? If you can not accept one person who is being sincere no matter what they are then you can not accept me either. You just proved this to me!" With her upsetness Roberta flexed her back as wings of golden feathers unlike a dragons tore out the back of her shirt.

"You knew the day you found me on your doorstep in that basket I was not like you. So how DARE you claim to accept me and refuse Niados. Because I am just as much of a beast as he is. He could have taken me away the moment I was alone with him, Before I treated him as I treat all other creatures even other people. Then he might not have seen how kind I was, and I would be in his master's grasp never to see you or mom ever again. But because I was able to show him kindness I am still here. You do not have the right to treat him like that, like he is some thing and treat me as a person because I am not like you or mom I am as different as he is and if you cannot accept him like you have me then I know you NEVER truly accepted me!" Roberta said showing a bit of anger but more pain then anything.

Niados looked up to Roberta seeing those golden wings and held her close. Growling at the guards and watched the one moving close. "Oh hush you." He said to Niados and picked Lita up carrying her to a bedroom that wasn't damaged The innkeepers wife sighed. "Roberta we love you just the way you are. and if you want him close then we will accept him your fathers just tired, as well as upset at the damage that was done to the Inn." The innkeeper looked confused to his wife and she gave him a look that said many things. Her hands on her hips sternly looking to her husband and he looked down quickly tightening his fists then loosened them the one person he never could win against was his wife. "Yes I am upset how are we going to fix what damages have been done when we had not that many customers in the past year other then those people keeping their race mounts they didn't use in our barn when they stay at other inns?" He said as his wife pushed him along to get him to bed.

Niados watched as the guards sighed leaving "The repair committee isn't going to like hearing this." One said as they left. Niados picked Roberta up and carried her to a room to sleep. Staying with her until she was sound asleep and checking a lot of the devises he brought with him he smirked as he went to cleaning up the debris and went to work fixing things. By the time anyone would wake up or even the repair people to evaluate the repairs would arrive Niados would have finished even fixing the broken windows, Then he would be laying next to Roberta in the same room sleeping.

Sodain woke up an hour before sunset then blink confused at Kuri missing and frowning but even more confused was the 3 dragon eggs he found standing in his full beast dragon form. Nudging them and humming softly he adjusted them under him then began singing softly. The song would flow echoing out through the tower but the words he sang was not in any known language and might get people curious about the singing probably. Know he and Kuri never did anything to make them it baffled Sodain but he stayed curled around the eggs.

Sodain looked over to Kuri and smirks pausing his singing he thought he would have a little fun seeing the confused look on Kuri's face. "Well daddy what you think of our little ones? Aren't they just lovely daddy Kuri?" Sodain said with a sweet tender voice that was different for him not showing signs he was joking yet. Wondering how Kuri would react he watched and begun humming softly.

Sodain then frowned seeing the door open watching Itari hoping he didn't try spoiling his fun. "Oh good evening Itari I am hoping everything is alright?" wondering why he came in other then trying to find Kuri.

Sodain smirked and laughed at Kuri's reaction. Then watched tilting his head and blinked at Itari as he looked to the thing Kuri had and raised a brow slightly. "No Kuri I am not sure how these eggs ended up under me. I don't even remember laying them exactly I would think if I laid them from my body I would know. Though they have no scent other then mine. And your not the father we never did anything to make eggs and besides it takes about a week or two before a dragon lays eggs from the time they become with eggs. Your guess about where these eggs came from is as good as mine." Sodain informed him after having his fun.

"yeah but even if that happened Itari, I would have felt as if I had laid them, I didn't feel that so unless they magically appeared outside me I would have to say...." Sodain went silet as a forth egg popped out of his back side and he didn't feel it and he blinked looking at himself. "Well I will be darned. I didn't feel that come out of me but there it is. I seen it come from me. I guess mom was wrong saying all dragons know when they lay eggs from feeling it..." Sodain gathered that egg as well sniffing it and blinked.

"Besides if I wanted half dragon and half wolf children I would just knock up Olira my two headed wolf companion." Sodain said snorting, "Besides that the thief headed to the harpy mountains. I am sure they would smell him even fully hidden and tear him apart." Sodain mentioned to Itari.
