Max was a little bit shocked when the dragon stood up so suddenly and moved so quickly. He was almost sure that if he had been kept in that cage, the people who did it would have put the dragon on some kind of seditive to make sure he wouldn't try and escape. But after a moment of looking, it really did look like that he was straining a little bit to stand and move so quickly...
Maximillion felt a wave of pure excitement as Achiu told him to climb up on his back. Today he had only wished to see a dragon, but right now he was about to ride one! As the boy climbed up, he looked a bit concerned at the dragon. "Are you sure you can do it? You don't look too-" But He was not able to finish his sentance, for he had to lean forwards and hold onto Achiu now or be thrown off. When the dragon lifted himself up into the air, Max was able to see the world from a new perspective, and that excited feeling he felt a short while ago reappeared as they continued flying. He did not know where Achiu was taking him, nore did he care at the moment, all he did care about was the fact that he just freed a captured dragon, and was getting to ride it...

Eclipse drew nearer to the scent of the lone dragon and soon spotted him with a human on his back. Eclipse glided over just enough to be able to speak to the dragon, glancing back toward the alarm he heard, then back at the green dragon and noted his movements were odd. Adding it up he huffed and went a bit closer, "....come...I can lead you to a safe place..."
Kai half smiled, "Well, I met a good friend after that and he's letting me stay with him. Plus I like it here..it's nice and quiet most of the time. he put his hands in his pockets after they greeted each other.

Achiu couldn't say anything at first, using all the energy he could muster to get away. But once he was high enough to be able to glide a bit and save some strength, he risked a fast glance at the man on his back. "I can't... Get us far. But right now.... Adrenaline has come to the rescue. And thank you." That was all the speech he could muster for the time. He had started to dip and couldn't afford to loose any advantage just yet.
A short time later, a large black dragon approached. Achiu knew he didn't stand any sort of chance in a fight, but thankfully, this male didn't appear aggressive. When he offered help, Achiu was grateful. "Thank you. I don't know.... How much further I can go."

Maximillion could only stare in amazement as they rose high above the treeline. Once they were high enough, the dragon simply began to glide, and conserve what Max was sure was little energy he had left. After Achiu spoke, he smiled, and patted the dragon's back very lightly. "Just don't push yourself, and, it was nothing... Though I have a feeling if I was seen, or it is discovered that I was the one who freed you, I don't think I'll have much peace back with the other humans..." He said, before turning his head to see another dragon.
Max blinked a few times, he thought he was lucky enough today by not only seeing, but freeing too one dragon, but now he has seen two! When the black dragon offered his assistance, Max looked over to him. "Um... Would you mind if I rode on you instead for the moment? So I wouldn't tire him out anymore from carrying me?" He asked. Max was not sure how heavy he was to a dragon, but he was still concerned that, with Achiu's condition, he would seem to weigh more than he actually did.

Eclipse eyed the boy, he didn't look much different in age then Kai..and it seemed he came to the green dragon's aid. "...very well.." he flew closer stretched his front arm toward the boy for the him to climb onto, as he waited for the boy Eclipse looked ahead and pointed his snout toward the nearby mountain. "Think you can make it over there?" if the green one couldn't make it to his den Eclipse would have to watch over him and the boy tonight.. and get Kai back as well.

"Silia easy; this guy just has a hot head." Ci'nala faced him and summoned a giant tidal wave to hover behind her. "Now listen here, you little ingrate," she said angrily. "I may not be stronger than you, and I'm sure as hell not as flashy as you, but by the grace of the great Water Dragon Waev, I will defend the land of my ancestors, and no flashy, show off dragon in the world is gonna stop me."
She turned to Silia, calmer. "How's the girl? Is she okay?" Ci'nala didn't know why she was asking, she just did.

If a smile was even remotely possible upon Sa-ar's large snakish face, one would be visible. However, just a slight incline of his head and and vague squinting of his eyes was all that could be seen to demonstrate either amusement or contentedness - it really wasn't easy to tell which it could be. The crackling and arcing of electricity which had been sparkling off of all of his 90 meter long body ceased as he hovered up in the air, his body forming a crude figure-eight shape in the air.
Now he had two dragons contesting him, and one of them was finally showing her power in response to his pushing. Uncoiling his body and flapping his wings with much more force, he began to push against the tidal wave formed by Ci'nala, not yet unleashing his full power, but almost as if a cautious test for resistance.
"A lord and master is the only role I know to play...." he spoke more softly than he had before, not needing his voice to carry over a distance with both dragons facing him off. He regarded Silia for a moment of silence, before his eyes slid to Ci'nala, boring into hers. "I know not of any Water Dragon Waev - I know only of the all-mother Tiamat. Perhaps... it was my longing that I mistook you for my kind... a kind whose a display of strength must precede acts of civility."
((Before we get into whose mythology is right and wrong, let's just assume dragons are like people and each have their own 'religion', or at least, legends.))

Ci'nala called back the water and bowed her head to Sa-ar.
"No; forgive me, master of the sky. Ever since my mate disappeared, I haven't been able to trust another dragon." She felt a tear leak out of her eye. "I have to defend my territory fiercer now because some dragons will take advantage of a female all alone." She looked up at him and matched his gaze. "I apologize for my behavior; I didn't know that's how a Storm Dragon acts."
((no prob! That's what i was going with))

Myia looked at him. "Most of the time?" She was forcing herself to dismiss the remarks in her head. "What is that?" She asked worried. Why would such a place not be quiet? Then she remembered hearing about some kind of problem the natives were having. "Oh, ya the problem with the natives coming up missing." She looked down sadly.
Lillia easily made her way through the forest and down where the visitors would stay on the island. "Excuse me, I am looking for Myia Crinana. Has she arrived yet?" The woman nodded and told her that Myia was out. "Thank you." She smiled and left the building. 'Good she is already here.' She took a seat outside. Taking two photos out she made a mental note of the looks. Placing them back in her pocket, she got up and started her search for Myia.

Achiu chuckled a bit ruefully at the human's words as he did his best to help easy him over onto the black dragon. He looked to wear the other indicated. "I think I can. Normally I would have no problems, but...the scientists pumped me full of drugs. Hopefully within a day or so, I'll be better." Soon, my love. Soon I'll be home, and we'll have our chicks and life will be perfect.
Silia let her frustrations out with a huff and a puff of smoke. She smiled with a bit of satisfaction when Ci'nala snapped at the male.
The question about the girl through her off for a second, but she recovered quickly. "She's got an injured leg. I think she's alright for now, but she'll need some looking after pretty soon."
She snorted a bit at Sa-ar's words, but seeing as he appeared to be at least trying to be civil now, she decided to let it go. "Well, I'll tell you this much; you'll get a lot further around here if you keep all this high and mighty business to yourself. Most dragons around here will give you the same reaction you just got. Civility will get you a lot further."
When Ci'nala mentioned about the disappearance of her own mate, Silia felt a pang of sympathy. She knew exactly how devistating a loss that was, and was getting a good idea of how difficult it could make life. She gently laid her wing over the other's back for a moment. Silia vowed then and there that she would do whatever she could to help her.
Turning back to the male, she tilted her head to the side. "So, now that we're done with all this posturing, what are we going to do? As long as you can be civil and not try to overthrow any of the current residents of the island, I don't see why we can't part in peace. But if you have plans to the contrary..." She flexed her claws and swished her tail, letting that be the end of her warning.

"Apology accepted."
Sa-ar fully unbristled his plumage, seeming much more calm now. However, he tilted his head with genuine puzzlement at both of the dragons. He became increasingly more bewildered as Silia spoke. He hovered speechless for some time before coherent thought overcame him again. He looked between the two females. He then peered yonder to the island. He seemed uneasy for a moment, but quickly recovered into his proud demeanor.
"I need respite from a long journey. I will not show ingratitude by stirring up violence or further dischord among the dragons of this island. However, if a challenge is issued to me..." he squinted his eyes to punctuate his point, "...I will answer it in full. But answer me this - if it is not a show of power required to prove my worth, venerable keeper of these lands, what then?"

Maximillion looked at the dark dragon, nodding to him and smiling a little bit. "Yeah, I can. Just be ready to catch me am I to drop..." He said, though he said his last words a little unsure of himself. Slowly, he brought his legs up, pressing them together as he eased onto his feet, trying hard to keep balance. Max was just glad right now the green dragon was not flapping his wings, otherwise he would probably never make it... After a few moments of turning himself, Max leaned forwards, throwing most of his faith into Eclipse to say still as his upper body lowered rapidly towards the front arm.
He made contact with the arm, and quickly grabbed hold of it, his full weight now off Achiu, and on this one arm. Max probably didn't weigh quite as much as the human the black dragon had saved not too long before, though his robotic limb did add a little. Slowly and carefully, the boy made his way up Eclipse's arm, and climbed up on his back, getting in a position that wouldn't cause the dragon much-if any-discomfort. "There..." He said under his breath, before looking back at the green dragon. "You going to make it? Or should we start looking for a place to land?" He lowered his voice as he spoke to the dragon he was riding. "How much farther? Could I see our destination from here?

Eclipse moved a few feet away from the green dragon once the boy was safely on his own back. "Don't force yourself..land if you must Green one.." He glanced at the boy, then looked back at the nearby mountain, "My den rests at the middle of the mountain...the green one may be able to reach...the shadowed spot you see is where we go.." Eclipse kept an eye on the other dragons' movements, but also glanced toward the beach he left Kai at, getting a bit of a bad feeling about leaving him there.
"Yeah...my friend tries to hide it, but I can tell he's worried about his relatives." Kai looked at her, not wanting her to get sad so he tried to make a joke. "Although what I meant was how loud my friend snores, he scared some birds away once." Kai grinned slightly.

Ci'nala nodded towards Sa-ar, then looked at Silia. She lost her mate too; they were one in the same at this point. She missed her mate so badly, that she would do anything to find him, even sacrifice herself to save him.
"You can stay here for now Sa-ar; there is a cave by here that you can have." She smiled kindly at Sa-ar.

Myia sighed. "I wish I could stop it, but no one knows who it is yet." She shook her head. She laughed. "Well, that sounds like a mess." She smiled. She then froze when she saw someone she knew. "Lillia? What are you doing here?" She asked looking at her friend.
Lillia was getting tried of searching for Myia when she saw here talking to a male. "Myia!" She dashed over all cheery and happy. "I decided to join you." She hugged Myia and looked at the guy. "Hello. I am Lillia. May I know who my Myia is talking to?" She grabbed Myia by the arm and placed her hand on her head.
Myia frowned deeply as her personalities switched. "Lillia... let go of me." This part of personality always comes out when Lillia is around her.
