Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Sorry...^^; Zik is pretty much trying to rebuild the village here))

Ankaara looked at the ball of flames. As they got sucked away, a vague shape appeared in it. Eventually, they were all gone, and a green dragon was left hovering there. His eyes snapped open, and the first thing he saw was Josh. "Why did you do that? Now I can't even think of rebuilding Monotonie, my energy is so low! Thanks a lot, bub!" He grumbled as he landed gently on the ground. "If it's food you want, I got yer food. But please, PLEASE, don't disturb-ANKAARA?!?!? Is that you?" "Yeah, Zik. By the way, don't be that ill-tempered with my friends here. 'S not like you." He came closer to the group now. He had two horns, red eyes with no pupils, a really long reddish shirt that came down to his knees, boots, and gloves. "Well, knowing you, Ank, you're probably against Skelegar as well. Then, I'd like to join you, and assist in any way I can."

"Oh, him? He's my best friend, Zikar! He has control of fire, and stuff." Zikar stepped toward the group."Hello. Trust me, I'm not with Skelegar! He destroyed my village, why should I follow him?"

Sigilos was still ranting, and his anger peaked. He gathered a bit of energy in his fist, then punched the nearest tree. A huge crack and rush of wind, then nothing. As the splinters and dust settled, any one could see the tree was gone. So was a tree behind it. Sigilos just stood, looking calm again.

*I didn't need food, I needed... something else. Now I must try to find it else where, or do without. Bloody idiots, I told them not to do anything stupid, but no one ever listens to me!*

He abruptly turned, and stomped back into the woods. He had to rethink his plans for now.

"they probably needed you for one of his insane experiments or something, he usually does that sort of thing." Josh remeberd all too well what happened when he was captured by Skelegar and what he had done to him.

"Well, now that half the forest is destroyed by Sigilos..." Lex murmerd. "Where are we going now gang?" She put sarcasm on the last word, she still didn't trust anyone.

"The insolent worm baby had been studying paranormal junk for the last thirteen years of his life. He had figured out a few spells. Now, I was going about my buisiness, trying to destroy the Earth as normal, when the puny-brained meat child captured me and tried out spells on poor me! He growled angrily. He turned me into this new form, with which I could easily wrench the spell from his mind, and not use it on himself. He hung his head and looked toward the ground, sadly.But that terrible bologna-brained earth pig had done more to me than I had thought...My base, my labs, they didn't recognize me...All world-conquering events had to be stopped...I could never go back to my leaders looking like this...but I found help and a kind person here. He raised his eyes. "I went to Ankaara, who was more than happy to help my plight. She did all she could, but it seemed that my condition is irreversible. I found new hope when Ice raised Skelegar from the grave, because Ankaara said that there was a certain potion she could brew with the bones of Skelegar to make me back to normal, but we would have to destroy him first. That is my story. Ankaara answered Josh's next question. "Well, ya see..." She reached into a dark patch under a building, and pulled out a small, silver, gleaming oval. She scratched a rune onto the surface with her claw, and it split open. A large hologram map came out, and she said a word to the map. The oval shook, and a mechanical voice blurted out:
PLANET EARTH. 51345 LIGHTYEARS AWAY FROM YOU ARE HERE POINT. DISPLAY MAP. A map lighted up the whole village, and showed two red planets against a field of blue-and-white galaxy of other planets and stars. Ankaara pointed to the farthest one. "There! That's Earth."

"That is very far away, so you were originally human right, and you were trying to take over the world? so why don't you, in dragon form, take over the world with your powers, it would be much easier, then revert to human form."
