Councilor, this is not the appropriate time to be dismissing a high ranking member…. Elder Scale hissed quietly. She has done more for this society than you and your goons have…. It is upon your fault that she is how she is… and according to how she is, she is protected by our standards just as much as she is yours….

Exactly. Elder Black hissed after Scale was done. The most you can do is reinstate her to Post, and transfer her to a different location…. You cannot revoke her membership unless cleared by us first. If you do remember, she and the Professor are our representatives when we are not present.

The Head Councilor looked annoyed as Ximly handed the scroll back with a more relieved look on her face. “I stay here until you move me elsewhere.” She said shortly. “With due respect, Councilor….”

The councilor took the scroll back with a quick jerk of his hand, and forcefully pushed it to the chest of the man who had given it to him in the first place. The man gave a grunt, and Ximly looked at him with a glare, but it soon turned to wide eyes as she noticed the feather down on his jacket. She took a step back as Elder Black noticed it as well and let out a deep rubmle from his stomach.

The Coucnilors moved their cloaks back to reveal swords, but Elder Scale shook his head. I believe these two have things to explain…. Morphxim, you may speak first?

Ximly shook her head, “I believe my appearance is good enough for an explination.”

Rika gave a nod, she had been staring at Ximly the entire time…. Horrified at the condition her friend was in. “What happened though? You look like you were hit by a car….”

“Tana’s car was hit. Just not by another car….. Some…. Creature….had swooped out of the sky and basically totaled it, with me in… I’d probably be dead if Elder Black hadn’t fallen behind…”

Elder Black nodded. And there were black feathers everywhere… I Believe from a roc….

Elder Scale looked the man with the down in the eye as he spoke. Rocs are not native to this area…. Councilor, you have not reinstated your aviation branch… have you?

“Of course not. We have strict rules, Elder… Reinstatement of the Aviation Squad would mean very bad things for humans and creatures alike.” The councilor said calmly. “Besides, there are no Poaching Orginizations like there were back then… why would we need the Aviators if that were the case?”

To eleminate people of intrest….. Rika hissed in draconic, causing the Dragon Council’s scales to shimmer in the fading light.

“Calm down, Professor…” Ximly said, staring at the Councilor in the eye. “Councilor, please do listen to us. We have sent in several reports about poachers being more organized in this area…. It would be logical to reinstate the Aviation Squad… just not with Rocs…. Perhaps we could-“

“Rocs are the best to fly in these areas. It gets too cold for dragons-“

The feathered dragon hissed in objection. Roate us….Frosts in the winter, others in warmer seasons! Your society was supposed to be in protection of our kin… but you need our help just as much as you need ours, going to other races of creatures is not the solution, and I will not slither for it any longer… you are not corrupt, are you Post?

Your tongue Elder Feathe…. Elder Scale warned. Keep your temper in check. They would not be here if they were corrupt…

“Corrupt? Dear Council! That hurts! We have your best intrest at heart, I assure you….. however, there is no need to be getting worked up over a few poachers… Tom has kept it under control, has he not?”

Ximly and Rika twitched in their places. Ximly had countless scars on her human flesh from fights with poachers, Tom had nothing but a few minor bruises from the last encounter. Rika had taken beatings before as well, but her scales prevented her from having noticeable scars, but catching onto the Elder Scale’s game, they remained quiet.

“I believe we are done here….?”

Yes… nothing further…

“Very well then. Ximly G. Brainen, you will be transferred to a city post. Pack your things, your orders will be here within days. Professor, you will start the relocation of The Haven immediately. Joint Council dismissed.” The head councilor said as he turned and left, his fellow human council members leaving after him.

Ximly turned to Rika with a depressed and tired look on her face. “That didn’t go according to plans….”

Rika shook her head. “No… it didn’t…. what are we going to do without you at the Haven?”

Ximly looked to the councilors walking away. “We’ve still got Coover and his little parlement….”

“Owl communication?”

Ximly nodded. “Owl communication….”
