Sorry, Elyana!!!  When I said slayers, I meant catchers.

I run after Elyana through the forest. Elyana? An orphan?! I try to get to her, but I can't find a path that is clear enough. I give up and head back. Endey is surprised at what happened.

"I'm..."

"I don't care what you have to say," I hissed. I was angry enough by Aleakim's constant criticism about nothing. Now, Endey making my best friend cry, my temper bubbled over. "You are the worst person I know, second maybe to Rilleyo. I could kill you right now if I wanted to. Maybe I should. How would you like that, huh?" My fierce undertone frightens everyone. Xandela hurries over to stop me. My eyes flash red and my canines sharpen and grow. Xandela puts a wing around me and I calm down. Endey's eyes are wide with fright. Aleakim looks understanding. Draco looks surprised and Kerra (like Endey) looks scared. Anex, surprisingly, looks completely calm. I storm off and he follows. He mixes some herbs, puts the powder in some clean water. He puts it in a cup and offers it to me. "I've seen people do things like that," he comments. I say nothing.

"I know what would have happened if your dragon hadn't helped you." I hug Xandela. "You would have turned into a dragon." I couldn't take it. I burst out crying. Xandela wraps a wing around me. I get on her back and we fly off.

So Adela was about to turn into a dragon because she was really, really angry, and has a really strong connection with dragons, right?

Why is everybody always mad at Endey? *Endey sniffs* I'm going to get mad at somebody, too!

And Elyana, that was a 923 word post. Quite impressive.

Endey Pracea

Okay. Okay. Okay. Adela did not just almost turn into a dragon and kill me. Okay. Having breathing problems here. Having breathing problems. Am I hallucinating? No, the others are just as shocked. Except Anex. Of course. Maybe I'm hallucinating that, too.

And dracamerda, why does everybody always have to be angry at me? But I was RIGHT. Yes, maybe it is my awesome personality that for some strange reason people don't like, maybe because I'm making fun of them and yelling them half the time, but there's no need to go bloody dragon on me.

Once I got over my initial fear of hallucinating, I began to try to think how to fix this mess. First off, apologize to Elyana. I'm sorry! Drac, I didn't know that her oh so nice parents were dead, as was her brother. Probably. Denek... I think I've heard that name before. But not recently.

Okay. Apologize to Elyana, and then teach Draco how to use a sword. That was a very, very good cut at Aleakim. And Aleakim almost cried... oh, I'm going to hold that over her for years. Aleakim, my, uh, Draceai kinda friend. Have to think about that one. I wonder... how heavily does she sleep? And I should say something to Adela, something that's not my usual meaness.

Oops. She's already gone.

But I slip away to go apologize to Elyana anyway.

If she was alone, by herself, it would be hard to find her. But it's easy when you have a big dragon clearing a path for you.

Elyana is in a clearing, leaning against Xell. Xell snarls at me, but I said, "Quisque sed. Me sum volens purus." Easy. I'm trying to apologize.

Xell leaned back slightly, but his teeth were still clearly visible and he stared at me intently. His message was clear. You even think about hurting her, and I'll rip your body to shreds. Not a pleasant thought.

Summoning my courage, I said, "Elyana, listen up, please, because I'm only going to say it once."

Finally, there come's a muffled, "What?"

I took a deep breath. "Sorry." Then I walked away. Okay. I am officially the meanest dragon slayer next to Rilleyo to walk the earth.

Back where we were camped, Draco is looking at her sword. I draw my own. None of them even look at me. Well. That's embarassing. Really, when you hear the ringing steel of a sword being drawn, you really ought to be more alert.

"Draco," I said, "let's see how you work with a sword."

She glared at me, but stood up. "Fine."

"Now," I said, "try to kill me." Draco attacked me with gusto.

I won, of course, but with proper training, Draco would become the seventh best swordsperson south of the mountains. I, of course, and number six. Rilleyo is number one. Sadly.

As we are about to fall asleep, I volunteer for first watch. Mostly becuase I won't get to sleep in the first place. I'm feeling too guilty. And it's all Endey's fault. 

Draco! I tell myself. Do you REALLY know what Endey is. He's a dragon slayer, if you haven't realised that. A DRAGON SLAYER! He SLAYS DRAGONS! He KILLS THEM! He was mean to everyone. And what do you do? You volunteer to help him SLAY A DRAGON. You laugh with him. You take swordfighting lessons from him. And why? Why? WHY? Are you THAT DESPERATE FOR HUMAN COMPANY???? 

"Poor poor Siara Rizlak, talking to herself." I hadn't realised I'd been talking out loud.

I wheel around, drawing my sword, and see Sir Percival Twitterton, the King's most trusted knight. And where there's one knight, there are sure to be more. Great.

"Ahh, do you want to duel?" he asks.

"Yes," I say. "Sir Percival Twitterton of Flintwall, I challenge you to single combat."

"Hah. Swords?"

I nod.

I'm really confused here. Is Adela a Draceai, too? Or is something different going on?

(November 20, 2011 - 11:40 pm)

To tell you the truth, I'm not really sure yet. I wasn't thinking of being a Draceai, but we can change it later. In my profile I said I had a "mysterious connection with dragons", so yeah...

 

Spammy says "xweb". No web... spiderwebs? The internet web? o.O

(November 21, 2011 - 8:06 pm)

Yeah, I was wondering about that too..... 

oh and:

1. I didn't randomly challenge him. This guy and I have a long history together

2. Yes, this is about the same person as Sir Twitterton of Peep. Except in Flintwalll ,the enemies aren't bobbleheaded. Other than that, he even throws seaweed sometimes

3. For those who don't know, Sir Twitterton WAS Tiffany W.

Ok, I was laughing so hard when I read your last post.

"2. Except in flintwall, the enemies aren't bobbleheaded. Other than than that, he even throws seaweed sometimes."

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

the enemies aren't bobbleheaded. *sighs* so funny.

Please let me join, even though you have so many posts. I've read this whole roleplay to get caught up, so do I deserve it? Anyway, I hope I can join, but sadly I don't go onto this thing much so I won't be able to post much either. 

Name: Deren Le Gren

Age: 19

Appearance: Very dark brown hair, very pale skin, dark blue eyes, rather short.

Occupation: He used to be a knight but he quit and now he's a dragon rider.

Personality: He usually wants to know about everything that people talk about. Helpful, but he can be rather mean to people when he first meets them.

Other/backstory: Well, his backstory is about like Draco's and Adela's but he was raised to be a knight and he actually became a knight before he quit. He's learning Draconian but doesn't speak it quite well yet. No mystical powers and magical connections. From Flintwall, a relative of Twitterton.

LOL!!! "The enemies aren't bobbleheaded". Although if we ever end up in Flintwall again, you can be certain I'm going to sneak in a bobblehead somewhere. :) It would be hilarious if Sir Twitterton actually threw some seaweed during a fight!

As I land Trenn, I hear the clashing of swords from far away. Great. Let's just hope that it doesn't have anything to do with knights. 

When I reach the sounds, I find that my hopes were for nothing. Sir Twitterton (who happens to be my uncle, sadly) is dueling a girl who looks about eighteen or seventeen, and kind of farmiliar to me for some odd reason. She's pretty good too. Better than Twitterton at any rate.

A bit away from the duel, six people and four dragons are asleep. Actually, one of the people looks both, seeing as she has dragon wings... very odd. Two other people, I can recognise. One is Anex the Dragon Lover, and the other is Enderory Pracea. Very famous dragon slayer. Second most sucsessful after Verdomin Rizlak..... 

Wait, Rizlak. That's who the girl is-- Siara Rizlak. She was my friend, kind of, when we were  kids. We were the only people who actually liked dragons, except she was brave enough to run away and join them. 

Speaking of which, she's just knocked Twitterton's sword out of his hands. She's good. Very good. WHere has she been learning, I wonder.

Twitterton makese no effort to defend himself from the sword that is about to chop his head off. He's just searching around in his pouch. Uh-oh.

"Siara!!!" I yell. "Siara, duck!!!!"

She turns around and looks at me like I'm crazy. "Duck?" she asks. "I'm about to get the revenge I've been plotting for years, and you're telling me to duck."

"He's about to throw seaweed!!!!"

"So? He's crazy," Siara replies, rolling her eyes. "And if you think that seaweed can harm me, then so are you.'

Twitterton prepares to throw the seaweed, and I do the first thing I can think of-- rushing at Siara and knocking her to the ground.  The seaweed flies over our heads.

"What the drake is going on here?"

"For once we're on the same page."  

I look up at the faces of Siara's friends. 

Siara gets up, looking as mad as a hornet. "What the fewmets were you thinking you were doing you unicorn??" she yells angrily. "Thanks to you, Twitterton got away. I bet you're in leauge with him!!! You stupid knight, get away from here!" 

"Umm," I stammered, "I-I can explain. I'm not a knight, well I was, but now I'm not, I'm a dragon rider, I quit."

"That's the most pathetic excuse I've ever heard. If you're a dragon rider, where's your dragon?" one of the other girls asks, and everyone nods in agreement. 

"After all, you did help Twitterton escape,"

"And he was blabbing about some seaweed too."

I don't know what happened, but I got really really mad then. Without thinking, I picked up the clump of seaweed (luckily not deadly now that it isn't fresh) and shove it at Siara's face. She yells and falls to the ground. 

Then I realised the mistake I had made. All of Siara's friends were staring at me. And they looked pretty mad, that's for sure.

Hullo, Deren! Welcome to dragon land! Not the cartoon one, the awesome one! Created by us!

Totally random message from SC: I just got my ears pierced! Yay!

Totally random message from Endey: Oh, help me. SC will make me go get my ears pierced and put those dangly thingermabobs in. HELP!!!

Endey Pracea

If there's one thing that I hate more than stale apple pie, it's a knight. Some of them are okay, but their numbers are very few. They're all like, I'm so much greater than all you lowlife pathetic unhonorable toad-eating little pieces of bootless mudpuddling mold pigs, just because I work for the king and I'm an idiot and I couldn't slay a dragon to save my life.

I HATE knights.

And this scrawny short one who claims to have quit to be a dragon rider, (why are there so many of them? Last time I checked, dragon riders were supposed to be rare.), he's babbling about seaweed and dangerous seaweed, and now I'm mad at him because I was SLEEPING.

"Listen," I said, "you better get your short butt out of here before I permanantly separate your head from your shoulders. Actually, on second thought," and I then I realized he had thrown a piece of that seaweed at Draco. Or rather, shoved it in her face.

"You," Kerra said.

"Did," Elyana said.

"Not," I said.

"Just," Aleakim said.

"Do," Adela said, wait where'd she come from? Oh, there's her dragon. She must have just flown in.

"That." Draco pulls the seaweed off her face. It's bright red. Anex, of course, has some oh-so-amazing herb that will help her. He's already working on it.

I draw my sword and point it at him. "Sit down. We're going to have to figure out to do with you."

What, of course comes out from the trees roaring and blasting fire? A dragon? No, it couldn't be. There hasn't already been far too many dragons in one day.

I turn toward the rest of them. "Can I kill it?"

Elyana glares at me. "No."

"PPLLEAASE???"

"I said NO. n o spells no."

I keep my sword pointed at the short guy anyway. "Sit down anyway. I'm too annoyed to care about a measly dragon like that one."

Kerra, Elyana, Aleakim, and Adela are already discussing it.

"He's got a dragon," Adela point out the obvious.

"Rilleyo had a dragon," I said through gritted teeth.

Aleakim gives me a look that partially exposes her fangs. I shiver slightly. Don't want to think about those things sinking into my neck. "Endey, for the good of everyone, shut up or be nice."

Adela ignores me. "Well, he's obviously not a knight. And that seaweed did something to Draco." We all look over at her. She's holding something to her face, and when she takes it off for a moment, her face is already looking better, more pink than red.

"We could believe that he's half trustworthy," Kerra said

"More like none," I mutter under my breath. Aleakim glares at me.

"As much as I hate to say it, I agree with Endey," Elyana said. "I don't quite trust him."

"What's so bad about agreeing with me?" I ask, and, of course, they all ignore me.

Anex walks over and Draco follows behind. "That was some pretty nasty stuff, that seaweed," Anex said. "I wouldn't like to think what it would have done to Draco if it had been fresh."

We all look toward Draco. "What do you think?" Aleakim asked.

Draco hesitated. "Let's see what he has to say, and if we don't like him, Endey, you're quite welcome to chop his head off. Or at least scare him away. That seaweed hurt."

We walk over to short boy and make a halfcircle around him. "Start with name," Kerra said.

"Deren Le Gren."

"Hey! I know you!" Draco said.

"Yeah, I know. You're Siara. Siara Rizlak. And you're Endeyrory Pracea, and you're Anextiomarus the Dragon Lover." Ooooh, he is going to get it.

Draco bristled. "Endey, you don't have to cut his head off, I will." She leaned toward him. "For the record, it's Draco. Don't every call me that name again."

Darn it. I don't get to cut off his head.

A noise from behind a tree distracted me. It's nothing, I told myself.

There's the glint of a sword against the moonlight. I pull out my own. There's another one. And another one. There at least three knights here.

"Guys," I said, and was immediately greeted by a chorus of "shut up, Endey."

"We've got a knight problem."

AHHH!!! SEAWEED!!! Those were awesome posts!!!! Turns out that Twitterton DID throw seaweed in a fight!!!

Draco~

Great. I thought this twenty four hours were going to have enough surprise attacks. Five knights step out of the bushes. At least we have more people than them. 

Only two of whom are fully trained with weapons, I realise. Great. I'm pretty sure Kerra knows a bit about using them, but I have no idea about the others. Even though Deren might know something about weapons-- oh well, who cares?

One of the knights I can recognise, and I'm horrified to see that this is the knight who led the attack on the Bronze Dragon Clan. I don't need anything else. I just rush at the knight, while pulling out my sword. Endey does the same thing. I see Aleakim pulling out a dagger and unfurling her wings, Adela mounts her dragon and decides to attack the knights from above, Elyana follows her example, Kerra gets her dagger, and the knight is attacking me. 

I don't have any time to observe what the other people are doing, I'm too busy battling the knight. It seems like the knight I've chosen is especially good at fighting, but I don't really care. He cuts, I parry, I cut, he parries. It goes on forever. Sometimes I seem to break through his guard, sometimes he does, but we always keep each other back.

Slowly, though, I'm backing away. He's forcing me towards a nearby tree, then he does something deeply weird that I have no idea how to block. I admit that I've been getting kind of cocky about this. This knight proved to me how much of a beginner I really am.

Then Deren attacks the knight from behind, which really proves that he himself isn't a knight. The knight yells something about unchivalrious traitors and pigs, and then I finally manage to wound him, badly. The knight looks around, sees that all of his friends have gone, and runs. 

Only then do I get a chance to look around. Endey is suspiciously close to someone's cut-off arm, and blood is all over the place. Adela and Elyana land, looking kind of shaken. Anex is applying something to Aleakim's arm.  Kerra is glancing suspiciously at Deren. And Deren is looking at me. Probably looking for praise. 

As I start to thank him (no need to be impolite) I see something hanging from his belt. It's the last of the Three Blade. The Dragon's Blood. Rightfully belonging to the Bronze Dragon Clan. The gem is missing, but I don't care. 

"YOU UNICORN!!! YOU SON OF A HAMSTER!!!! THAT DRAKING DAGGER IS RIGHTFULLY FERR'S!!!!! I HATE YOU!!! SAY GOOD-BYE TO YOUR HEAD, STUPID KNIGHT!!!" I yell. "YOU TOOK THAT DAGGER, YOU WERE IN THAT ATTACK!!! YOU TOOK A DRAGON'S LIFE, I TAKE YOURS!!!"

"Siara-Draco don't!! Please!! I can explain!! I didn't take that dagger!! I stole it from Twitterton!!!" 

"I. Don't. Care. What. You. Have. To. Say!!!!"
