"Erm... Soo... Who am I seeing exactly in your village Lani?"
Her head was tilted, but her eyes glimmered at the view once she looked up. Smiling, Asherah giggled and waved her hand a bit as if Lani were staring at her oddly.
"Ahh never mind. Heh, just take me where you wish, I'll follow." With a deep breath she continued to follow Lani. 'Reminds me of one of me homes...'

Enki Leviathan The creature did not fluently know this language which the dragon had spoken, but has heard it on a couple different occasions. It reaches out toward the ocean and a small ball of water rises from the seas before changing shape into that of a small bird. The watery bird flutters over to the creature and "perches" upon it's shoulder. Moments later is flies back to the ocean and falls like rain back into the sea and the creature looks back to the dragon and responds in the same language, telling him that if they didn't know what it was, then all the better, but to know that he means no ill will. The yellow Draconian seemed unsure of what to do, and he and his companions engaged in a quiet discussion under their breath. A minute later, they seemed to come to an agreement, and he turned back to the creature, bowing his head to it. "Well, you may call me Taslik. What shall we call you, O He Whose Flesh Is Water? And what business do you have with us?" .Antique Heartbeat. "Erm... Soo... Who am I seeing exactly in your village Lani?"
Her head was tilted, but her eyes glimmered at the view once she looked up. Smiling, Asherah giggled and waved her hand a bit as if Lani were staring at her oddly.
"Ahh never mind. Heh, just take me where you wish, I'll follow." With a deep breath she continued to follow Lani. 'Reminds me of one of me homes...' Before Asherah was able to dismiss the question, Lani answered turning her scaled head to look back at the woman as she spoke. "We are going to see the Wise Ones, Miss Asherah. They are the leaders of our community, and it is they who will decide what shall be done with you." At that point, Lani glanced around quickly, checking to see if anyone else was within hearing range, then slowed her pace so she could draw closer to Asherah. Then she lowered her head, and whispered, "I will speak in your favor and recommend that they let you go free. It will greatly influence their decision if a Draconian speaks for you." Then, she smiled a bit. "Besides, I am the daughter of the local Chieftain. My words carry much weight. Do not worry, my little friend." Still smiling a bit, she straightened up and increased her pace yet again as they neared the top of the hill, where the Wise Ones awaited them. Far behind them, a steadily growing crowd of villagers had assembled, and followed them up the hillside, curious to see how events would unfold . . . .

Hugin the Raven The drone followed, monitoring the entirety of the fight. Those in the control room back in Aekea were stunned by what they saw. Not only were these beings damned fast, but they were vicious. It was too early to assume them as a threat, but... well, they were formidable.
Still overhead, they came into contact with the village.
"Wait. Turn the cloaking on. We need to get a good look at this place."
With that, the UAV vanished... optical camouflage. Yet it was still there, observing the place from overhead. As the drone dropped to 100 feet, it simply moved here and there, observing as it was intended to. From there, the drone would, for the most part, observe the same things that Asherah had upon entering the village. However, what would most likely catch the interest of those controlling the UAV was what appeared to be a small fortress on the Northern end of the village, where they would likely get a better idea of the military capabilities of these creatures. If they chose to fly the UAV closer, that is.

It was nice to have someone on your side, even if you didn't know them too well. Asherah smiled when Lani did, she was cute for a giant lizard.
"Thanks Lani..."
As her pace quickened, so did Asherah's, but at this moment, something caught her attention. Not physically, but mentally. It was an energy, a strong one at that. On that could over power her own. 'What is it... A.. Dragon?' Her mind raced trying to decipher the energy signature. She'd felt it before. But, never this close. Beginning to sing gently and softly, Asherah twitched her ears each time she felt the little waves of energy. It was faint, meaning it was probably far away from her, but it was on the island none the less.

"Hey, what's that there? To the north?"
One of the techies got a good look and his eyes widened briefly.
"Looks like a fortress of some sort. Want me to check it out?"
With a nod as a go-ahead, he moved the drone forward, obverving the situation. And indeed, it was a fortress. Pretty well-guarded one, too. They could see to Draconians down below, and from there they'd get a pretty good idea of what their military capacity was. Yes, it would be cheating when it actually came time to throw down, but a bit of advance knowledge wouldn't hurt.
Besides, they weren't about to go and start s**t with these guys. That just wouldn't be kosher.

Enki Leviathan
The creature bows elegantly in return and looks to each of them a quick moment. "Well met, Taslik. You may call me Enki and curiosity is merely my business.""Well then, Enki, I can answer any questions that you might have," he said, bowing. He didn't add that he hoped that this creature's curiosity would be satisfied quickly, so it would leave soon. It made Taslik uneasy, for reasons he was uncertain of . . . . .Antique Heartbeat. It was nice to have someone on your side, even if you didn't know them too well. Asherah smiled when Lani did, she was cute for a giant lizard.

It was faint, meaning it was probably far away from her, but it was on the island none the less.
Lani paused as she heard the singing begin, and turned her head to look back at the human woman, half-smiling. "You have a beautiful voice, Miss Asherah," she commented. Beside her, Lanuk snorted. "Hardly," he said. "I have heard better." His sister laughed lightheartedly, and said, "You would not know a good singing voice if it clubbed you over the head. Just look at Renata. You claim that she has a voice that could put the sound of the morning breeze to shame, but I have heard pigs that are less tone-deaf." "Bah! You are no better! Every time you open your mouth, those pigs you speak of weep with sympathy!" Lani started to fire off a retort, but her voice died in the middle of the first word as she noticed that they had finally reached the door leading into the meeting hall of the Wise Ones . . . . Hugin the Raven "Hey, what's that there? To the north?"

Besides, they weren't about to go and start s**t with these guys. That just wouldn't be kosher. In the fort, built out of stone with walls thick enough to stop a bulldozer, the techies would see a full garrison of Draconian soldiers, clad in heavy suits of gleaming plate-mail armor that looked as if it could stop a bullet cold without a single scratch. In the courtyard, dozens of them practiced combat, using everything from swords to their bare fists. Against the walls, there lay an enormous assortment of weaponry: broadswords five feet long, gigantic battle-axes, oversized WWII-era rifles and machine guns . . . . there was even a pair of GAU-8 Avengers mounted on the wall, enormous gatling guns that could usually be found mounted on jets for the purpose of obliterating tanks. In the fields beyond the fort, more soldiers were practicing combat maneuvers. Put simply, these were not guys to be ******** with . . . .

Still... if these guys were not to be ******** with, then they wouldn't do so. After all, this was just recon. Still, what they did have was impressive to say the least. The rifles and machine guns would probably jam now and then, but the gatling guns would, if kept under maintenance, most certainly not.
The control room was dead quiet as they saw what went on, until someone snapped out of their daze. "We gotta tell the boss about this. Y'know, the CEO?"
That got people moving quite quickly. Of course, they were not going to go messing with them, but any information like this had to be relayed immediately. The UAV, still as quiet as ever, retreated back towards the skies above...

Speeding towards of the coast of Virconia was what appeared to be giant metal bowl made out a hightly reflective metal that seemed almost invisible in this bright sunny Day. There were two men on board with one swiming underneath it and keeping pace with it easily, and they stopped every now again to stop. The youngest of the men was one of the non swimmers and was rather short at five feet tall. He had short wild brown hair and alot of facial hair that grew uncontrollably like alot of people however this wasn't caused his creation by his two parents and was rather caused by two of his four parents. All the man weared was a cargo pants and all he carried was a brown backpack with food, a large sperical container filled with strange liquid metal that looked alot like Mercury, but acted alot differently, and alot of dirt. The second man on board and the second youngest was about 5,7 and had greyish eyes that sometimes turned into more of a silver color and his short hair strangely enough like metalic spikey Scales stick out of his head. He was carrying a huge silver backpack full of various containers with metals of all kinds including the strange liquid metal one could also find in the short man's backpack. The swimming man was about 6,5 and had short black hair with piercing brown eyes with a tattoo of three vertical lines right next to each other on each cheek. He wore black leather pants made out of the hide of some animal with a water proof hide and other that he had a Black Cloak with a matching shirt and backpack on board the strange bowel like object. He had left many daggers on board and had many strange objects in his backpack.
The group eventually at night and were tired with no shelter when it started to rain. They started to worry that they wouldn't be able to find shelter before they got sick, but they decided to wait a little bit to see if anyone would come along to help them.

Sometime that night, if the men were close to shore, or upon it, they would hear voices in the distance, through the trees that lined the shore. Unless any of these men spoke Dragon, the language in which these voices conversed would strange and indecipherable.
The voices would draw steadily closer through the trees, and it appeared they were nearing the beach.

Master Nemesis Sometime that night, if the men were close to shore, or upon it, they would hear voices in the distance, through the trees that lined the shore. Unless any of these men spoke Dragon, the language in which these voices conversed would strange and indecipherable. The voices would draw steadily closer through the trees, and it appeared they were nearing the beach. Nake(Prouncounced Nawk ae)(The silver haired one) could understand the talking, the talking but had no Idea why as he knew about his past was that he and Terran(The brown headed one) were part of the same strange species of which they knew pretty much nothing about. The image of thousands of tiny silver egg shell pieces scattered across a dark cave at night entered his mind. There were many figures surrounding him that were blurry and thus unreconizable. This confused Nake at first, but then he thought he might be renembering something from his past. The other two were sleeping, so he decided to make no noise instead of searching out for the source of the voices. The other two were able to sleep because the bowl like object had turned into a small metalic hut by Nake who had the ability to control metal with his thoughts. He contintued to listen to the voices trying to keep up with the words. ((So what are they saying?))

As the rain poured down and Nake drew closer to the source of the sound, he would finally be able to make out what they were saying, though not without some difficulty. Though the language had it's roots in Dragon, it had a heavy accent, and some words which would be unfamiliar to the listener.
"So, what happened next?"
"Well, Marukan continued to insist that I had bedded his mate, no matter how many times I told him otherwise. Finally, he challenged me to an Honor Duel, and since I knew I was telling the truth, I had no choice but to accept."
"And?"
"You know exactly what happened next, Baltus. Did you not see the Treatment Carriage? It was Marukan they were taking to the House of Healing. I did not desire to injure him -- it is not his fault that his mate is so willing to offer herself to others -- but it was that, or letting him send me to the House."
A sigh. "The poor fool . . . He should have known better than to challenge to mighty Flarus, eh?"
There was a silent grunt of agreement. "Now then, enough talk of unfortunate happenings. Instead, let us catch some delicious fish for our mates!" The owner of the other voice expressed his eager agreement, and the sound of their footsteps continued.
And they were walking right towards Nake.

Strangely enough Nake already seemed be able to understand the natives tongue perfectly and it was like he had been to this island himself alot when he was young. Suddenly another flash back of him looking into a mirror and seeing what was a mostly human looking silver haired baby with silver wings that appeared identical to the Draconians. A magical item in Allen's((Finally ran out of name idea's so using my middle name) black backpack caused each of these memories to enter the near by Draconians mind's one after anouther in the same order Nake renembered them.

Both creatures stopped short as their minds were suddenly invaded by a collection of unfamiliar memories. The was the sound of wood splintering as one of them, the Draconian who was named Baltus, stumbled backwards into a tree in surprise.
"What . . . . what strangeness is this?" exclaimed Flarus.
For the moment, both were dumbfounded. Neither had no idea what they were seeing, really.

For the moment, both were dumbfounded. Neither had no idea what they were seeing, really. A third memory that seemingly didn't belong to Nake appeared in his mind as well as the near by Draconian's. Years back before Nake was born on this Island a couple had nursed a strange woman who seemed human back to health after they had founded her unconcious on a beach and had nursed her back to health and when the wife touched the strange woman for the first time something strange happened and the woman suddenly woke up and thanked them for taking care of her, but really needed to get back to her husband as they were on their honeymoon, so she ended up leaving right after thanking them for their kindness. Soon afterwords the wife found out she was going to give birth in the appropriate amount of time.
