Welcome to Gaia! ::

It didn't take long for the giggle fit to subside and they were on their way to the Borean Tundra specifically the Coldarra Mountains.

(Uh, are you forgetting one of the plans, Saya? Wasn't Ice supposed to go alone, therefore he gets captured by Dee's parents?)

Dee's mom flew over head, watching over the mountains. She dared not to swoop down and take Ice by force so long as Iori and Saya were both there. Iori for one could kill her with his power alone and the boss explicitly told her only to take Ice if he is alone.

Giving Saya a hug, Ice then said, "Thanks Mom, keep in touch this time." Then he gave Iori a hug and said, "Dad, keep me updated on the Sasuke situation. I don't think we get news the same way here than we do on Hamster."

"I will son, and take care of Hyoga. He should be at your new place and have him somehow report back to us to let us know that you made it the rest of the way safely. There are a lot of dragons in the sky I see and I don't want one of them scooping you up for their lunch."

"No problem. You should hear from me within the next couple of hours or so. If I don't report by closing time of the Steakhouse, then you know something happened."

When Dee's mom heard that, she flew directly to where Hyoga was. She knew that as long as she had him in her claws, Ice would do anything she wanted. Hyoga tried to fight her off when she attempted to scoop him, but it was to no avail.

She then made sure to circle over Ice with Hyoga in her grip. "Ice! Dee's parents are here! They intend to do harm, Run from this place!"

"No way, Hyoga! I don't want you to get hurt, besides, if its a fight she wants, it is a fight she will get!"

Ice deflected the blast, which made a loud "ching" sound before making a nice pattern in the snow where the explorer's league quickly wanted to make notes of their meaning not paying any attention to the battle itself.

"Gah!" Hyoga screamed, "Even through my golden armor, this dragon's talons are ripping through it!"

Ice then had an idea. He bellowed back at the dragon, "Your blasts won't hurt me, but they can surely hurt you!"

Grabbing one of the fallen crystalized blast shards, Ice hurled the shard into Diana's belly! Diana let out another roar as she was losing altitude!

One of the regular dragons, thinking that this one falling was one of their own, a dragon known as Malecgos threw a mana bolt from his own talon down at Ice, which Ice deflected innocently into the sky. Malecgos swooped down and tried to grab Ice, but because Ice's body was slippery, Malecgos failed. "What are you, stranger?!" the male dragon bellowed, "Why attack our own?!"

Ice pointed to Hyoga who was struggling to get free. "Your own tried to kidnap my lover! I am merely trying to save his life! My body is made of pure ice and nitrogen. You cannot grab me like your kind did to Hyoga. Best ask your falling comrade who she is. You'd be surprised at your answer."

"Present me proof, Diana of what home they were trying to destroy, but from what I can see, looking into your eyes, you are the one who is lying."

Ice then added, "If you want proof of my innocence, sir dragon, you may ask Iori Yagami of the Orochi Steakhouse that I have not touched any dragon's home."

(A better way for Diana to get what she wants is to remind Kalecgos of the law of anyone not dragon-born can live in Coldarra.)

"I am aware of the laws, Diana," Kalecgos went on, "but, you better not harm the human. You do not want a repeat of what happened with Lady Jaina Proudmoore, do you?"

Seeing Diana lower her head was proof enough for the older dragon. "Very well," he said, "Now," he turned to Ice once again then said, "As you were not aware of this law, it is forgiven, but you and your boyfriend must be taken somewhere else."

Ice then sighed, "There is only one other place that I can live and that's in Khranos, Dun Morogh."

Kalecgos nodded then lowered his large dragon body to be mounted, "Climb aboard and I shall take you and your luggage to Khranos. Diana, you will follow me."

(This was actually rather brilliant. It forced Ice to live where it wasn't preferrable and it will be easier to take control of Ice this way. And just so you know, in order for this plan to work, it will be more like a 2 for one sale. Ice won't do anything without Hyoga there. So best to brainwash Hyoga first then Hyoga will have Ice follow him wherever.)
