Welcome to Gaia! ::

Here is where most dragons gather and live.

If you are a dragon you live here

loria noticed both of them acting on the edge and flew in tight with Aurora. Ripper flew up and landed next to Thistle causing him to jump up as Ripper's claw hit the ground next to his head. "Geez, be any louder?" Ripper smiled at him. "Ah did I wake ya up sleepy head?" Tain landed sensing the uneasyness, he looked at Ripper. "Either he doesn't feel the tension or he's immun to it."

Joey chuckled as he watched them. He sat up and looked at Gloria. She had relaxed seeing nothing horrible come of the incounterment. Ripper looked at the two and then focused on Donna. She gotten up and then sat down again seeing Artimis not be tense. "So, your the all famous Artimis hm?" Gloria asked smiling. "I've heard a few things about you, but it's good to met your face to face." Tain chuckled. "More like tooth to beak. But who's paying any attention?" He said with a smirk and walked over to his brother, he then tackled him and they started restling. Ripper moved out of the way before he got dragged into it. "So, you seem to know one another, Joey's said he doesn't mind them. Guess it's up to you if they stay." Hearing this Donna looked from Ripper to Aurora.

Joey looked at the two with an eyebrow cocked. "Boys." The two brothers stopped their playing hearing Joey's order. He stood up and started walking away, the brothers instead of following him went the opposite way. Ripper sat down and snorted. "I'm uterly confused and think I should stay that way." He flopped back onto his back and closed his eyes smiling as Gloria licked his snout. "Come on, you can't sleep here Ripper." He snorted again blowing dust into her face and rolled over.

Donna watched from the side lines as all of this happend. She stood up and spread her wings to fly away. "Did my job and now I'm leaving." She said with a hint of sadness. She wanted to stay but didn't feel right about it.

Gloria watched her and flew after her. "Hey! Where are you going? You came all this way, why not stay for awhile?"

"I have an old friend in the Fire Family who needs a good smack to the face, and"

"So, you couldn't stay for only one night at the least? I mean come on, you came all this way, you brought Artimis with you too. And the Healers could learn a few things from you. We'd really like you to stay."

Donna smiled, she nodded and turned around to fly back with Gloria. "Thank you, I'll stay for a few nights I guess."

Gloria smiled and looked down at the group from the sky. Everyone was slipting up. She looked from each one to the next. "Great, we get together and now we leave, not how we finish the night!" She flew down to Ripper. "Let's get the others, we're going to have an uproar tonight." Ripper grined and flew to get Tain and Thistle.

Donna ran up to Artimis and skidded to a stop in front of him. "Wait!" She paused as if trying to remember somthing. "You have to come with me, um...oh just come on." She said and ran past him smiling.

Gloria skired as she landed in a heap in front of Aurora. "Hey! Where you going? You can't just go moping away! Come on!" She smiled and stood up. "Follow me." She smiled as she ran off hopeing Aurora would follow.

Tain ran for Glacier while Thistle grabbed Joey. Ripper however had gone off to tell the family. He got them moving and in no time they were ready.

Donna's horn started to glow and Gloria smiled as the wind whistled around her head. "Good." She mutterd to herself.

Donna smiled as she skidded to a stop. The family was laughing and hvaing fun. Gloria smiled and looked at Aurora. "We call it an uproar, it's when we all get together and have somthing like a party." She stopped and looked at them. She curled her upper lip and roared. Everyone contiued what they were doing and roared back at her. "See, an uproar!" Tain chuckled as he heard the roar and roared back. "It's called an uproar Glacier, come on their fun." Joey was laughing as he dashed part Artmis with Thistle jogging behind him. He stopped next to Artimis smiling. "When you hear the roar let out a screech or what ever." He chuckled as he snarled and roared. The roars came back to him and Donna chuckled and whinned in response. She took off after Joey and Thistle smiled. "It was Gloria's idea, Aurora seemed down and we normaly by now have gotten to know our alpha if they are strangers." Ripper came up to Aurora and Gloria with chicks climbing all over him. They were just learning to breath fire and were spitting small flames at one another. "So, did I do good?"

Gloria smiled as she watched them. She disappeard in the cluster of dragons with Ripper behind her. "Pay up." Tain said to his brother. Thistle grumbled as he slammed five red crystals into his brother's claws. "Come on you, let's have some fun." Tain smiled as he and his brother walked into the dragons as well. Gloria got in a postion where she could still see the three and started talking with a Healer.

"Yeah, the pegasus said she'll help us with our healing spells and such. I think she may know a new way to heal as well!" The older dragon chuckled, he was one of the older Healers. "A new way to heal huh? I don't know if we can all agree on any other way to do it. That's why it's stayed this way for such a long time." Donna snorted as she came over. "Yes, the old ways are clung onto for you know they work and are afraid that if you change somthing the new will not. I've met many like that, and I understand why you believe that way. But trust me when I say this, change is needed and if you hide yourselves from change you are only hurting yourselves. I can't force you to learn my ways but I will teach those who will listen." The dragon stared at her, he had never had anyone like her talk to him in that manner or tone. "Well, yes I do understand. And I am not one of those that hides themselves from change. So I will learn from you, I can't speak for the other Healers, but those under my wing will learn from you as well"

Donna smiled. "I'm glad to hear it, I'll be leaving in a few days so tomorrow will be best." She said and looked up at the two. Tain and Thistle walked over to two females. One of them was bigger then the other, she was a tall lean black female. The other was a sky blue. They giggled and talked but stopped when the brothers walked over. "Hey Tain." "Hey Thistle." Thistle smiled, the black one was the one he wanted to be mates with. "Hey Kathy, how have you been?" "Oh you know, being the messenger for the family keeps me busy!" Tain turned to the blue one, she was about his size. He flicked his head to the side and she giggled as she stood up. They walked away leaving the two alone. "Kathy and Thistle are going to make a great pair." Tain nodded. "What about you Amber? Found anyone yet?" Amber looked at him, her cheek scales turning pink. "Tain! WHy would you ask something like that?!" Tain chuckled. "Because i haven't either, there's always that chance that we may be meant for each other."
