Cormag had flown for so long now ever since the battle he and David had against the red dragon, that was when his life changed...ever so drastically. He flew through the warm air currents, with his great crimson wings. His skin changed as well to be covered in polished red scales and a tail had sprouted out. His nails became claws and his breath, a geyser of flame and brimstone. All the while he felt a magnetic like pull to some far off place and that he knew, was to accomplish his destiny there...

Tyson had just finished eavesdropping. "So Cormaq has been busy fighting red dragons " Tyson said to himself after hearing the conversation. "I wonder if he knows about the many humans who want him dead."

Neltharion responded, a booming roar echoeing around the Spire. He flexed his wings lazily, having been resting at the Spire since the demon attack. Neltharion wondered why Stimeak was here, being on the run from the other Emperors and all....

Inferno did a barrel roll in mid air, dodging 3 fireballs before spreading his wings and responding with his own, the target closing it's wings and dropping out of the sky, all but one of the Red Emperor's fireballs missing it, the one fireball hitting it in the chest even as it tried spinning to avoid the hit. the target's chest glowed for a moment, absorbing the fireball as it spread it's wings and flew back up, Inferno beating his wings and moving himself out of the way by a horizontal beat, the target and attacker flying past him. "Very good, your majesty. you're basic combat skills seem to improve every day" boomed the attacker, the head of the Imperial Guard, as he trained the Emperor in basic combat techniques. "Of course they do! it's not like im learning from scratch! i'm just re-educating myself in the fighting techniques!" responded Inferno. in one of the last battles, the Emperor had become wreckless, relying too much on the power of the Alariel which, although immensely powerful, still wouldn't help him with everything. a particularly powerful attack had almost hit him, had it not been for the fire shield the Emperor used to stop it. so it was decided that they do some training to reacquaint the Emperor to normal, unaided basic combat, to make sure he would still be able to fight as a formidable opponent if anything were ever to happen to the Gem. "Now it's time to see how far you can go" growled the leader of the Imperial Guard. he beat his wings and backflipped in mid air as he shot 12 fireballs at the Emperor in quick succession, the Emperor, moving to the right and closing his wings as he dodged one that went past his left wing, and another that went right over his head as another missed his right wing, moving his wing to the left as a fireball whizzed past it's right side, the Emperor opening his wings and throwing himself back, dodging 3 more that were aimed at his chest, as he backflipped and shot 3 fireballs to counter another three about to hit him, closing his wings to dodge the last two before opening his wings and firing 5, the Guard closing his wings and doing a spinning dive as he dodged 3, before a tingling sensation marked that he'd been hit in the back by the Emperor, as another whizzed past his snout. "Very good your majesty. it appears your aim is something to be admired. i have not been hit in over 1000 years by a ranged attack". Septimus watched from the top of a waterfall as the two large Red Dragons practiced. "I think it's time we called it a day, Hellstorm" growled Inferno. the Dragon bowed to the Emperor and growled "Well, when you wish for more practice, all you have to do is summon me" growled the Dragon as he turned and headed back up to the Red Dragon guards above, to find out what information they had for him. "Now, Septimus. i think it's time we took care of a few of your skills. we've taken care of basic close range, non magical combat. Now, im not too strongly educated in Healing Magic, being a Red Dragon, but i'll do what i can" he growled, but the White Dragon shook his head. "My father........already finished training me in magic before he passed away. i was sent here at his last wish, wanting me to learn the ways of a true Emperor. how to become a good leader and a trusted one" growled the young White Dragon. Inferno nodded, growling "Very well. come with me". he leapt into the air, Septimus following close behind...

Stimeak took off and flew towards the source of the roar, he glanced around the frozen landscape, spotting neltharion just outside the cave. He swooped lower and glided to the side, landing nearby. He raised his head, growling "Well hello Neltharion..." hideing a smirk.

by **TyrannoTitan** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 7:21 pm

"Good to see your still alive, Stimeak." Neltharion growled, smirking. It was, though, impressive that Stimeak avoided the Emperors so well. But then again, Stimeak wasn't a pushover, even without the Arial Gem. Neltharion turned back, glancing out over the land, half expecting to see more demons advancing on both dragons...

by **Doc 42** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 9:17 pm

Stimeak shook his head and boomed in his chilling voice"and I intend for it to stay that way... Though considering my buisness this close to the dragonian relams it would be better for you to show less... hospitality..." He grinned, showing his large fangs, his eyes seeming to flash momentarily...

by **TyrannoTitan** » Wed Mar 05, 2008 9:27 pm

Neltharion smirked, shrugging. "I don't think they would attack me for talking to you." he growled, his expression calm. "If they did...then...so be it." Neltharion hissed, shrugging once more. Stimeak's problem was just that; his problem. The Emperors shouldn't condemn Neltharion to the same fate, even if he is allies with Stimeak...

by **Doc 42** » Wed Mar 05, 2008 9:38 pm

Stimeak made a low growl and boomed "True, but I would still be wary of Morian. I wouldn't want her attempting to find out where I'm going through you...." He ment what he said. Out of all the emperors, Morian scared him the most.

by **TyrannoTitan** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 12:49 am

"You have every right to worry about her...An unfair advantage, that mental magic is." Neltharion growled, smirking. He didn't intend to follow Stimeak, and didn't intend to ask where he was going, to prevent such a thing from happening.

"Since i was young, i always dreamed of becoming an Emperor. of gaining the power to lead a whole flight of Dragons. it seemed an amazing thing to be able to do. to have every other Red Dragon at my command. but then i experienced something that would change my life completely" growled the Emperor as he walked on the plains with Septimus at his side, the White Dragon listening intently. "One day many years ago, as i was playing with my friends in a field near the border of the Red Dragon Realm, a large army appeared on the horizon. it was an army of Industrialists, but it seemed they had magical help. mages who had left their traditions and joined the Industrialists in exchange for safety and power. one had cast a paralysing spell on my wings and left me unable to escape. being a small as i was, i couldn't outrun them, and i was soon captured and returned to an industrialist city. there, i was chained and they attempted to turn me into a steed for their leader. that man was selfish and commanded the others around viciously, and when challenged by the few that dared, he reminded them that he was their leader, and they were all below him. then i thought....was that what would happen to me if i became Emperor? after that, i swore to myself that i wouldn't become like that man. i was freed from that place by my father and several other Imperials, but i made sure that my vow would remain as long as i live. everytime i'm reminded that i'm the Emperor, i argue that i am still a living creature, the same as any other. i never see myself above others, and that helps me remain as i am. whether that alone is the reason, or if there are others, i don't know. but i don't intend to change that attitude for as long as i live" Inferno growled as he walked onwards , coming to a hault at a waterfall, watching it as Septimus took in what the Emperor had said...

Garroth sat down on a slab of marble stone as he concentrated on his magic. He looked at a small grain of sand that looked like an ant nest. Focusing on this he closed his eyes before his body glowed bright green. A few seconds later his eyes opened and then saw the grain of sand spread out revealing a small plant uprooting itself out of the ground. He didn't require much magic to conjure up a small plant like this but he was very interested in how Rutus was able to summon those massive vines out of the ground, obviously that required tremendous magic and that was something way out of Garroth's league. Garroth had been trying out a new ability called Rejuvination which could allow the conjurer to summon up plantation from the ground below and a powerful magic user could summon massive forms of this and dragon mages were excellant at this. Not only that but it could also be used to make plants that were dead healthy again. Garroth was getting better at summoning more and more plants and bigger plants as well. He didn't want to summon something the size of a forest from the ground or Chronos and the gold dragons would get mad and it might collapse several portions of the cave system that made up much of their realm. Garroth sighed before letting go of the magic and watching as the plant sank back into the soil. Tranquillus had told him of a forest on the outside of the caves on the surface. That would prove excellant for Garroth and his element and their he could train his elemental magic without disrupting the caves below but now with the demonic army knocking on their doorstep, Garroth knew better than to go outside. Tranquillus was watching from nearby smiling at him. Ever since his first day in the gold dragon's realm, he had stopped making advances on the gold dragon, knowing that her flight would have their disapproval of such a relationship. He stayed good friends with Tranquillus however and was always able to provide with good company and she would be the same back to him. Garroth knew that the gold dragons could teleport but he had yet to see it happen and Tranquillus was the first he knew that could not tap into this ability which was very unusual. Garroth guessed she was a late-bloomer and though she was already at the age of maturity, the power would not come to her. Garroth always told her not to worry and that it would come in good time. The green dragon, though having stayed with gold dragons for nearly a month possibly, Garroth had lost track of time and was still traumatized by the events that had happened with their capture. It wasn't just Belliar who he was afraid of considering the demon lord had chased them but also the arrows that Valroz had used to torture them with, the demon magic inside them had haunted him in many nights. He didn't want to even think about being captured or being sent back to that demon world ever again. Garroth knew Tranquillus was of the same fears as well. They had both been hurt just as badly. At least those arrows didn't make me go mental but I'll bet that if we had been trapped there for over a week then I'm sure things would've been different. Thank goodness there's Chronos.... He thought to himself.

Garroth smiled back at Tranquillus before turning back to the sand and preparing to use Rejuvination again. Right as he was about to tap into the power however, he felt a powerful enter his mind. Garroth quickly tried to reinforce his mind in case it was a demon but his defenses were crumbled into dust and suddenly the feeling became warm and familiar and then a voice he recognized came over.
"One can only wonder when you will be home my son." Said the voice with a gentle hissing. Garroth then jumped almost.
"Alairoth...father!" Replied Garroth in amazement through his mind.
"You will not believe the chaos that has been caused in your absence. We all know of your capture and the events that unfolded shortly after. Many of us are enraged that a royal like yourself has been banished from our realm. As much as I respect Rutus and that being an emperor must be hard enough for him but I will not see my son cast away like this."
"What are you going to do, fight Rutus?"
A chuckle emerged in the conversation.
"Ah son, if only that would be the case but no, I would rather kill myself than fight the green dragon emperor himself. Though no blood has been spilled in our flight yet but many of us are starting to show distrust in the emperor. We won't cause bloodshed or a full-front uprising but we are requesting that you return. Emperor Rutus is an excellant emperor and though he might have a huge temper at times knows how to run our society. As for what took place in the Outlands was not necessarily your fault and yes, I know you had to give up the map I gave you but I won't blame you for that. I do blame you for not staying in our realm and what I had wished is that you had spoken to me before you went and did something like that. But you are able to look after yourself but I also know you are afraid of Rutus. Honestly you should have talked to me in the first place. But I guess this has all happened a while ago and I can't really stay mad. Your mother would certainly be unhappy."
Garroth giggled in amusement.
"I can tell you now that my stay in the Gold Dragon's realm hasn't been too bad. Yes, many of them hate me but I at least won't retaliate on them. But others have begun to show trust in me. Unfortunately it's not all good news, a demon commander who attacked our realm a year ago, Valroz who was also responsible for torturing me and now is at the Gold Dragon's realm. Chronos managed to fend him off but I have this feeling that Valroz isn't giving up and that he'll be back. He won't stop until I'm in his grasp or dead. I'm pretty much his arch-nemesis."
"Son, I can tell you now that demons don't back down easily and if this commander you speak of wasn't even afraid of Chronos then it's likely he's getting ready to invade the realm and he won't stop until he has your blood. Considering that escape you made in the demon realm caused a small distress for Belliar didn't necessarily anger him, what did was the fact he lost his two prisoners. My advice for now is stay well clear of the gold dragons and let them handle this problem and only assist if you are asked to help, and that's only if Chronos let's you help. Other than that, fight if you have to but evade the demons as much as possible, especially Valroz. I must go but I will remain in contact with you and you can note me if you have any other problems you wish to ask me about. Take care my son, a storm is brewing..."
And with that, the force in Garroth's mind disappeared. Garroth knew what to expect now. He didn't have to tell the Chronos this probably because he already knew of what to expect....

"You guessed right, Garroth..." the voice of the Golden Emperor sounded in the green dragon's mind. "Your little conversation uneases me...but it is not something I didn't forsee. You see, this is exactly why I watched you during your stay within my domain...I knew this was to come..." Chronos continued, his voice showing no emotion. "Your father's words disturb me...Such words could be twisted into calling he and his allies traitors...as if they were starting an uprising against Emperor Rutus..." Chronos growled, his voic echoing in Garroth's mind. "It is my duty to present such findings to Rutus, but of course, I know that there are many more things that need to be reported...But I am limited; the rules of time bind me to only allow others knowledge as it presents itself...I cannot tell them the future...With that explained, you can see my problem at this moment...To tell Rutus of your father's possible treason, or to let it go?" the Timeless One growled, still showing no sign of emotion.

"I mention this to you, just for my own satisfaction. It means no importance if you know or not; it is for my enjoyment alone. You did, afterall, cost me my rank for a time...getting some amusement out of you is payment enough, is it not?" Chronos's voice sounded, the golden emperor chuckling. "Now, this demon of yours, Valzor, still thirsts for your blood, as you might have guessed. As dangerous as this is, you need to leave our domain. This is not a suggestion; I am telling you that you must leave. With Beliar giving me and the rest of my kin a blindspot in time itself, we haven't the time to deal with such small matters. If Valzor decides he wants to take you as you remain in our territory, he won't have you for long, I assure you. My dislike for you does not have any importance in the matter; if they dare attack a dragon in my domain, then they must pay the price." Chronos explained. "But...after you leave the territory, you are open for attack without question or intervention. I tell you this to help a fellow dragon, do not make me regret my decision, Garroth." Chronos hissed, his voice suddenly very foul. "Tranquillus...." his voice sounded, but this time only in the golden female's mind. "I repeat myself for a reason. As long as you stay with Garroth, you will be treated as he is, unless he manages to redeem himself. If you choose to stay here, with your own kind, we will protect you as if nothing happened. It is up to you..." the Timeless One's voice sounded. Soon his presence faded, not wanting to waste more time talking to them. Beliar and his armies had Chronos busy every second of every day. Garroth and Tranquillus, along with the trouble they brought with them, have costed him precious time, hence why he aided them. Chronos did have faith in Garroth; traitor or not, he was still a dragon, and he couldn't let his emotions from their past problems destroy his trust for the green dragon completely. There was a war at hand, they needed to remain united...

"Yes, my lord....i shall inform them immediately" said the Mage as he bowed before the immense demonic presence before him. "Go...and do NOT let me down...for the sake of your existence, mentally and physically" said the man in a deep voice, his unusually tall and muscular form giving off an intimidating aura to anyone who was around him. The mage's eyes widened and he said "Yes, my lord!" before getting up and rushing to return to the Mage Capital to inform their leader...an incredibly dangerous threat was now before the Mages' entire world. their entire faction was at risk of being erased from the face of the planet if the leader did not comply with the demands...

"Aliger..." said the mage as he cast a pair of newly hatched Eagle chick wings into a large couldren linked to numerous pipes and test tubes. "Everto..." he said as he cast part of a demon's horn into the couldren as the previously colourless liquid took on a rich red colour comparable to that of blood, the rich transparent red liquid bubbling as it boiled. "Angelus!" said the mage as he finally dropped a single, silvery feather into the couldren, the liquid changing colour and turning golden as it poured into the tubes linked to the couldren, each one taking a different path, going through filters and finally pouring into a single small bottle, the liquid swirling within restlessly, strings of silver and gold swirling within the bottle. "Finally.....after 15 long years of searching i've finally done it..." said the Mage, amazed. he reached out for the bottle, picking it up and downing it in a few gulps. he returned to looking at an extremely ancient looking book, seemingly falling apart from age, and reffering to the section on this potion. "Very well..." he said as he stood straight, his long silvery hair an odd match with his young face. standing tall, proud of his achievement, the powerful, black cloaked mage looked around at his home, the piles of books and jars of ingredients around him showing his work, the results now swirling within his stomach as it was absorbed into his body. "10 years of searching...5 years of preparation...and i have finally done it...the final step....has finally been completed..." said the mage as he walked over to his bed, a relatively simple matress and pillow on a small wooden frame. he lay down, closing his eyes, content with finally having done the thing that would one day give him what no man had ever dreamed of...

Garroth almost froze, he knew then that there was no point in arguing with the wise old Timeless One. He felt alone at that moment with despair striking him down almost but quickly thought of what to do next. But then he reminded himself to tackle one problem at a time and then came up with an idea. "Chronos, I know that my presence may have caused some distress for your kin but I have managed to be good and not cause any trouble but otherwise I will accept your decision. But before we do anything, I just want to ask that you don't reveal my father's intentions? They haven't started a rebellion and it is unlikely they will in my homeland, as long as the demonic army remains the primary threat, these issues could be dealt with later...Tell you what, I'll tell my father to stop with this rebellion and that they need to keep the flight together. I know my father and he will listen and understand me Timeless One. This way Rutus won't have any bigger problems on his hands. The last thing I want is an uprising but by the sound of it tension is rising in my homeland. So I'll tell Alairoth to call it off but otherwise I'll tell him to make sure that they stay strong. Now, that we have a solution to my father, we can now talk about my leaving. I understand that I have brought a huge crisis upon probably all the nations and I plan to fix it, no matter what the cost and do the best I can. But how will I escape Valroz? I'm only one Royal Green Dragon and though my magic might be powerful, it's no match for his army. I do not want to resort to fighting Valroz either. But if you wish, I will assist you in the fight against him. My earth magic could proove indispensible but otherwise I will go. I'll take care of my father but I do need to know how I will be able to escape Valroz, once he realizes I'm gone he will chase me no doubt." Replied Garroth, he needed just a plan. His only option was to escape from the demonic army. He waited for the Gold Emperor's reply.

by **dinoman666** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 12:55 pm

Valroz had marched back to the Wastelands to gather his army himself. He decided to simply wait until Garroth left Chronos' territory (which he couldn't stay in for long, if he had his facts straight), then attack. The dragon wouldn't stand a chance...

by **Doc 42** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 1:06 pm

Stimeak growled in agreement to Neltharions words... He paused, looking towards the sun. He then growled slyly with a grin "Oh look at the time... Sorry, but I've got some souls to take..." With that the dragon beat his wings, pulling him up into the air. The massive dragon arced where he was and was suddenly sucked away in a massive rush of wind, quickly dissappearing around the mountains as he made his way towards the White dragons realem....

Raven was sitting on a branch in Valorz's camp... talking idely with the other shapeshifter. He wasn't freinds with her. Infact she was one of the stupider and more annoying shapeshifters he had met. But among the ranks of demons, shapeshifters were shapeshifters, spending most of their time quietly criticising the stupidty of their fellow demons.

by **dinoman666** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 1:11 pm

Valroz's second-in-command, a Demon named Malebolgia, was marching through the camp, lashing out with his barbed whip at any Demon that wasn't doing any work while the commander was gone. Malebolgia wasn't the smartest Demon, but he made up for it with cruelty and sadism that few other Demons possessed.

Malebolgia looked up at the two Shapeshifters who were talking. He growled, "Do you two have any work to do? And don't lie to me, 'cause I'll know!"

by **Legendary Elite** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 2:29 pm

OoC: Ok but honestly it almost appears as if you are mind reading. But otherwise that's fine.

Frelzas flew Isaac across the sky, past the vast forest beneath them. Isaac then looked down and looked at her. "Land down here, we can get a good view of the demon armies and not have to scry them from afar, they may have magic wielders who could detect this among their midst." He said through mind read. Frelzas nodded and began to touch down. Quickly they crept through the forest but keeping a good distance from the demon camp. Isaac brought out his bow and quiver to the rear, preparing an arrow if he needed it and quickly he crouched and observed and so did Frelzas who lay down on all her fours but keeping back a few metres. "The leader of this army is crazy to lay an assault on the realm of the gold dragons." She said through mind talk as they always communicated.
"True and their chances are supremely slim, especially against the emperor. But there has to be a reason for this, otherwise they wouldn't bother to be so hugely concerned." He replied.
"That is a good point Isaac but what I think is that something is driving their leader especially just to accomplish something that is so futile."
"They are hunting someone. Whoever this being is, they seem to have caused much distress for their leader."
"Then we best be prepared for the worst." Replied Frelzas and then she got up before walking away to spot to rest. Isaac however kept his ground and watched over the camp. Wondering what it was they could be after...

by **dinoman666** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 2:38 pm

The Demons in the camp were mostly milling about, despite Malebolgia's lashings, but some were actually doing real work, including practicing combat skills, using trees as target practice, foraging, etc.
