Endey Pracea

"So where are the other two?" I asked. To think, if I could wrap my hands around those blades, I could simply destroy  the entire dragon population.

"That's the thing," Kerra said. "The name of them is really the Lost Three Blades of Dragons. The point is that they're lost. Nobody knows that I have this one, and I don't want anyone to know, okay? So no telling."

"I won't," we echoed.

I won't tell anybody, but that in no way stops me from doing some research.

AWWWW I LOVE dragons! TOTALLY!!!!!!!!!!

i like this 3 blades plan better than what I was going to do! good idea, Anex!! :)

Aleakim--

Another girl, presumably another one if my step-sister's new friends, stepped into the alley. I eyed the dagger in Kerra's belt, but couldn't take it now.

"This so-called "lost" blade was fitted with a  Dragon's Eye Diamond," I continued our earlier conversation and gesturing toward the dagger as I spoke. "to represent, well, the eye of a dragon."

"The second was fitted with a *Starlight Diamond." Kerra said. "That's to represent the claw of a dragon."

"And the last was fitted with a **Rose Blossom Diamond," I finished. "to represent a dragon's blood."

"What about the ritual?" asked Endey, ever so curious (and probably ever so eager to get his hands on the three lost blades).

"The ritual–" I started, but Kerra interrupted me,

"The ritual is very hard, very, very dangerous, and very, very, VERY stupid to attempt." My step-sister said, her tone making it clear that she would never forgive me (or anyone) if they did it.

"Yes, but what is it? What has to be done?" asked Anex, for once on the same page as Endey (never thought I'd see that day!).

I exchanged glances with Kerra. Should we tell them? My eyes said. She shook her head vigorously, and for the first time in quite a while, we were in agreement.

"In that case," I said aloud, "It's time for me to go."

With that, I was leaping onto the nearest rooftop, about 20 feet into the air. I ran off, using my Dracaei strength. It was only a few minutes later that I realized:

THE END!!!! :D

A few things now:

*I made up another diamond name, Starlight Diamond, and if you want to know what it looks like, I think it would look kinda' like Moonstone. :) And maybe Dragon's eye diamonds look like onyx? (if this isn't ok w/ everybuggy, tell me.)

**Also I named a third one, same thing w/ everybuggy liking/not liking it, please tell me. I imagine that Rose Blossom Diamonds look like Pyrope (Garnet). :)

***I did a line instead of a space on purpose, Admins, so please don't change it. Unless you already did, I won't make you go back. Thanks! :)

Oh,  [Insert bad word of your choice here]. OUR STORY BRANCHED!!!! *screams and runs around in circles like a headless chicken* (by the way, have you ever actually seen a chicken do that? NOT A PRETTY SIGHT.)

Nevermind, back to the real problem. Here, let's mix the two posts together. I did this once a while ago on a different RP, and the combination of the story branches was really cool. Do you want to write the combo, Draco, or do you mind if I do?

Do you want to combine the stories, or do you have another idea? Wait, scratch that. That sounded really rude.

Let's try again, shall we?

Do you want to combine the stories? I'm open to ideas if you have something else to say.

There! :) That sounded nicer. I hope. 

Now I'm going to be rude and mess a little bit with your characters, but I'm SC, I'm crazy, I'm hyper, I've been up a midnight for the past three nights, so therefore, in my mind, I'm allowed to do it.

Draco

"Oh good. I was hoping you'd escape. Hi, Adela," I say as Adela comes by next to us, leading Xandela on a leash.

Aleakim and Kerra explain a bunch a stuff about the Lost Three Blades, a ritual, and some other stuff. I don't really notice much, except there's seems to be a lot of friction between Aleakim and Kerra.

"In that case," Aleakim said suddenly, "I have to go." And she jumps onto the roof. The roof is twenty feet high.

We all turn to look at Endey, but he is staring after her, and then he shakes his head. "I should have known."

"ADELA!!" Elyana yells. "Are you okay?" Wow. Took her that long to notice Adela. Though, I suppose, the Lost Three Blades stuff was pretty interesting.

"I'm fine," Adela smiles, happy to see Elyana again. "But we're in trouble. They know where I went, and if they find us here it will not be good."

I remember that Esman, my older brother, had wanted to become a Tavensten guard. I imagine seeing my family again. "Adela's right. We must get out, all of us."

Endey rolled her eyes. "I'm not getting out just becuase of some stupid runaways."

I open my mouth. "Listen, Endeyrory Pracea, we just agreed to-" I'm cut off.

"Well, well, well," Esman says. "What do we have here? Two dragon lovers. One traitorous dragon slayer. A runaway that we've been looking for for a while. Three dragons. And.... what's this? My dead sister."

"We have to run!!" Adela yells, but I'm frozen on the spot. I stand up to dragons, slayers, and knights, but I can't survive my own brother.

"What's this, Siara? Nice family reunion, isn't it? Now, why don't I just put you all in jail until I figure out what to do with you."

Then, Ferr dives down to us. Before the knights can do anything, I get onto Ferr, hardly knowing what I'm doing, and pulling Endey behind me despite his protests.  Kerra jumps onto Sunflame, while Elyana and Adela mount their dragons. And then we've escaped the knights, and are flying over Tavensten to who knows where.

There's a dot running on the road below. I look at it again. It's Aleakim.

Oh my.

------------------------------

Yes, I know I'm abnormally rude for temporairly taking over your characters, though in my defense, I barely edited those posts. I didn't touch Aleakim's, and I added the part where Aleakim and Kerra talk about the daggers, and Aleakim jumps onto the roof, and then after that I just took out anything Aleakim said or did.

I think they catch up in a few minutes, and then (finally) they get to go a kill a rogue dragon. Yahoo! Callooh! Callay! "And the vorpal sword went snicker-snack!

Is this okay?

It's fine by me! It saved me & Draco the trouble of going back to combine them! :)

Spammy says obut. Oh, but what, Spammy?

Aleakim--

My first thought is to go back, to explain myself to Endey and the others. But as I get farther and farther from town, running through the woods at a speed almost twice as fast as a horse, I decide against that plan. I should have known not to do anything that would give me away. Not even Kerra had known of my heratage, and now over five people know. I slow down, and as my heartbeat quiets, I can finally hear over it. I can hear the sounds of the town, which is still relatively nearby, and the sounds of the forest. I hear wingbeats. Uh oh. I look up, adjusting my eyes to use my Dracaei sight. It's all my wonderful friends from the alley. Oh, joy.

I take to the trees, going silently from branch to branch. I'm a fourth dragon, not a fourth monkey, but I'm good enough at swinging that I can get up into a tall oak without killing myself. I surround myself with large leaves, trying to conceal myself from sight, but apparently I don't do so well, because I hear one girl, Elyana, I think her name was, yell,

"There! I see her!"

I curse, then drop out of the tree and continue running. I don't get twenty feet before I'm grabbed under my arms by huge talons and lifted into the sky. I fight the urge to scream hysterically, and instead look up to see a dragon glaring down at me. The girl that I haven't really met yet is riding on it. I curse again.

I'm carried over the woods and into a huge meadow, then lowered to the ground. Four dragons– Kerra's, the one that nabbed me, and two others– surround me, keeping me from running.

Kerra, Elyana, Draco, the girl I don't know, Anex, and a nauseas looking Endey all get off of the dragons. I curse for the third time in as many minutes, and am about to try and burn them all to cinders, when suddenly I'm on the wrong end of a knife.

"I should have realized." Endey says, pushing the knife up under my chin. It's point is less than a parchment's width away from slicing my throat. I growl at him, and it sounds like a strange mix of a dragon's growl, and some kind of hissing noise. That's the sound us Dracaei use to signal each other to BACK OFF. Sadly, Endey just presses the knife harder to my throat.

"Endey!" I hear Anex call. "We didn't come to kill her." He glares at Endey. Endey puts the knife away reluctantly, purpously ignoring my smug grin.

"Then why did you come?" I say venomously to Anex.

"We came to ask you what you are, and, well, if you wanted to stay a with us a while." Anex says.

"Wait, since when did anyone say that?" asks Draco, but she doesn't seem completely against the idea. That's the problem with dragon lovers; they're all so sickeningly kind.

"Thanks, but no thanks." I say, then prepare to let my dragon claws out and fight to the death.

"Please?" Elyana says. Something in her tone makes me pause. I sigh in defeat.

"Fine." I say, but my tone remains defiant.

"Thanks." Anex says. "Now, what are you?"

"A Dracaei." I say simply. "But Endey could have told you that. He knows now, after my stupid give away." At this, Endey smirks, pleased with himself. Or maybe just pleased that this time it was me that slipped up, not him. I curse. Again.
