Welcome to Gaia! ::

((nope..still like 25-ish minutes left. XD ))

Eclipse gently grabbed Yuran with his tail and set him in the area Samantha had landed as he made a slow pass then let out a ferocious roar as he flew over and joined the white and green dragon glaring at the female that was trying to take Kai away, "Lura, go to Samantha and Yuran..." He growled out as he made his way toward the girl and Kai.

Nari returned Eclipse's glare as she continued to flee from the dragons, "I won't you murderous beasts take Kai away.." She got a few pellets from the small pouch that was attached to the quiver and threw them at the ground between her and the dragons.

The smoke that came from the pellets stung Eclipse's eyes and throat...he beat his wings several times to clear the smoke away. Eclipse still growled and tried to follow the girl but the effects of the smoke had impaired his sight and sense of smell, he ended up crashing into a tree..

Nari grimly grinned with satisfaction and took the chance to get away while the dragons suffered, making her way toward the small tunnel she saw earlier.. it was big enough for a person to go through if they ducked heir heads so she figured it would be a good safe spot for Kai to rest since those giant lizards wouldn't fit.

((Wow, almost forgot Yuran...))
Yuran could only stand and watch as Eclipse ste him on the ground and flew off after the girl whom took Kai. After a little while he rested his hand on his forehead and shook his head a little bit. "I knew I shoulda just stayed and waited by the hotel by the docks... I would have missed on this absolutely wonderful headache..." He said sarcastically before turning back to Samantha, kneeling beside her. "Here..." He said, not even noticing that she wasn't wearing anything a few seconds ago. He took off his back and reached inside, pulling out a large, flat cutting board and a mortar in pestle, looking over to Lura. "Grind, press, or cut?" He asked picking up the strange herb, wanting to know how to work with Dragon Iris, as he nevr had before.
Max glared back at Lillia when she spoke. "Money? Power? What the hell are they gonna matter when you're dead?! I say do as much good as you can do in your live, and when you die, you at least know you died after helping at least one person!" He said, about ready to punch the woman with his right arm, ready to beat his message into her if he needed to, before he looked back when he heard a familiar voice behind him. He saw Myia, holding something. It only took him a few moments to realise what it was. However his look was not of horror or disgust, it was more of curiosity and wonder. After she'd spoken to him, his right arm fell a little bit, as he smiled a little weakly. "For the moment, yeah... Getting reeeaaally tired, though..." He said, before looking back to Lillia with his arm raised again.

Moving to see Yuran, Lura replied to his question.
The stem needs to be crushed, leaves and petals ground. After you do the stem you'll have to grind in the other two with it. I'm not sure why it has to be done that way, I think it has something to do with how potent it becomes.
She said and coughed again. When she recovered, she looked around.
Where is Calypso?

Calypso knew his shoulder would be internally damaged in human form, but he also remembered that his back, leg and arm were still injured. Plunking onto the ground, he rolled up his sleeve to reveal his arm injury and then did the same for his leg, careful not to torque his shoulder.
I got these while I was with them.
He said in a slightly pitiful voice and looked up at her with teary blue eyes.

Yuran gives a not back to the white dragoness as he strips the petals from the herb and put them in the mortar to soon be ground up in a few moments. He took another pestle looking thing out of his pack and began crushing the stems as instructed. "What should they look like when done, paste, or just crushed up?" He asked, making sure he had it right.
Before Lillia's elbow could make contact with his side, Max's mechanical arm moved quickly to the side that was targeted, her elbow hitting the hard metal. "Sorry, can't let you do that..." He said looking at Lillia. He did not even know what Myia had done to the soul when he turned back after she'd spoken. "Yes, but blood washes easily from metal... Vampire or not, it wouldn't be proper for me to take the chance of you getting hurt..." He said, before noticing her tear. "Hey... What's wrong...?" He asked, a little concerned.

Achiu took a few steps after the girl as she dragged Kai into the trees, but as soon as the smoke started to billow, he was forced to stop as a coughing fit caused his entire body to spasm. Falling to his knees, he spit out a large mouthfull of flem, then took a few careful, shallow breaths to try and ease the convultions that still seized his chest.

While he was still struggling to breath normally, he noticed Calypso in his human form heading into the trees after the girl and Kai. If he had been able to, he would have called to the youngling, but since he couldn't, he had a moment to think. 'Of course, the boy must have some sort of plan in mind. It'll be easier for him to get close to Kai in his human form. What a smart young male.'

Getting close to Eclipse so that the dark one could hear him but no one else would be able to, he whispered. "Eclipse, take it easy for a moment. Calypso's gone after Kai in his human form. It would probably be for the best if we give the boy a chance to work out his plan. We can keep an eye on them, but if we get too close, that ignorant female may do something stupid and get Kai killed."

Lura watched as Eclipse took off in his human form and then caught the scent of someone new. She then realized Lillia and Max must still be nearby and she growled again. Damn that woman. She then responded to Yuran.
It should be a blue-purplish paste. You may need to add a bit of water. Then when that's done, add the rest and grind them in. It'll turn more green then with bluish tints.
She instructed and then let out a large, fiery cough. She cursed again and curled up, tucking her wings close and wrapping her tail around herself in an attempt to get comfortable.

Calypso winced slightly at the ointment she put on and at the mention of finding his parents he looked at the ground.
I don't have any parents...
It wasn't exactly a lie. His mother had sent him to be on his own and the only way he could see her again was in passing. Even then, she would most likely ignore him. Such was the nature of Ice dragons.

Calypso almost blew his cover by saying "I know" but bit his tongue and instead said.
I'm Calypso. And yes I know, it's a weird name.
He pretended to puff up and dare her to make fun, but after a moment asked her
So why do you not like dragons?
He asked innocently and even gazed up at her with the big blue eyes again.
