[ice slider]

(We're out the window already.)


(im not im in front of the window)

[DragonSeeker]

(Ah, nvm. Nothing happened ;))

[Haku]

*white dragon takes them to kilik* the flute is to calm the dragon of the north and the map leads to where we need to take the talisman, after we get it, to destroy it!

[DragonSeeker]

*looks between them and sits down*

mutters <Nothing for me. Typical. Again I might add...>

[ice slider]

<Don't go on my account Kilik.>

[ice slider]

*looks at him confussed* i'm not done yet u idiot

[Haku]

*throws draco the shirt* it's an imenitrible shirt. and it's light too!! no evil can cut through it!

[Haku]

[ice slider]

(i was talking to seeker)

[DragonSeeker]

(Oh damn. Just as Cael got on too...)

[Opacus]

(I gotta go, talk to you later)

[Haku]

(thats ok Ceal and i can't leave this place nyways, but we can still talk)

[DragonSeeker]

(Ok...Let's let Cael catch up. I bet he's wondering who's side I'm on ;))

[Haku]

(i pmed him so he nos)

[DragonSeeker]

(Aw, I wanted him and I to get into a word fight ;) Oh well.)

[Caelestis]

(wakes up with a start, eyes are pure white)
*speaks as if in a trance*

When hope has failed the way shall appear through forgotten magic. The dark lord will know he has lost and will place his power in the lost staff. The time of change draws near.
*slumps over, asleep again*

[Haku]

*slaps him across the face* wake up!! are u ok? come on man wake up!!! *holds him tightly*

[DragonSeeker]

*smiles but stays silent, looks at the shirt* <How can a shirt protect me?>

<Is he ok? He's been drugged every day, so he'll be a little woosy.>

[Haku]

i already told u the shirt is unpenitrable. and i don't think he's drugged. *put hand on Nics forhead*

[DragonSeeker]

Hmmm...*takes off my armor and puts the shirt on instead* Ah, much lighter...Should I keep the armor?

[Haku]

no u don't need it. It's stronger then the armour nyways!

[Caelestis]

*wakes up*
Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes...

[DragonSeeker]

<Out the window it goes then.>

*toses the armour out the window* You know...Each of you has great power...I have seen it. All that I can do is speak the dragon's language...

[Haku]

was in the naour hood and though i'd drop by and say hi *smile* r u ok?

[Haku]

<Out the window it goes then.>

*toses the armour out the window* You know...Each of you has great power...I have seen it. All that I can do is speak the dragon's language...u have great knowledge of the black lands. Knowledge my friend is the greatest power of all!! *starts to try and heal Nic*

[DragonSeeker]

Well...I suppose.

[Haku]

*looks at nic* feeling better?

[Caelestis]

(got to go, work your way out of the castle but don't actually leave the gates, I have to do a scripted thing at the castle gates)

I don't think any amount of magic will heal this... (looks at cut in arm)

(assume I follow you as you leave)

[DragonSeeker]

*stands up* Let's go.

[Haku]

*helps him up* come on lets go!! *heads back down the stairs and white dragon swrils around Nic.*(gonna go too bye)

[DragonSeeker]

(Ok. Se you both.)
*escorts them to a hidden room by the castle gates* Now we wait...*watches guard over them*

[Haku]

*wite dragon scouts ahead to see where the guards are and to find the best way out* *lillian says* befareful my beuty and report back when u have found a way out!!

[ice slider]

good...i don't like this place

[DragonSeeker]

*smiles* It's gonna get a lot more fun than here. Trust me, I've seen it. We'll have so much fun. *sighs and still keeps watch*

[ice slider]

...define fun

[DragonSeeker]

Plenty of evil creatures. All of which would love nothing more than to get a shot at us.

[ice slider]

...great...<just what i need>

[DragonSeeker]

*puts my sword away and leans against the wall* [So much has happened...what a strange company I am with...How did this happen...Two days ago, I would never have imagined such a thing possible...]

[ice slider]

...nether would i...sorry...i can hear thoughts...for some reason

[DragonSeeker]

*looks at him* Hmm...That's ok...You can't help it...[Being a human can really not be fun...Ug...Elves, Dragons...What on earth is going on here...]

[ice slider]

uhhh...remember...im a dragon rider...at least what the spirit told me....

[Haku]

Actually u r becomming a dragon rider. You are not yet ruly one yet, but very close!!

[DragonSeeker]

*looks at the entrance and speaks in a small voice* I'm the only one here with no powers. I can speak the language, but nothing more.

[ice slider]

(one moment...dinner)

[Haku]

(ok) *looks around, but stays hidden and says nothing*

[DragonSeeker]

*keeps ranting on and on about how the others have so much power and I have nothing. You get the idea*...If only I could help them in better ways than information...

[Haku]

*wacks him on the head* well ur very good entertainment and u no this castle better then nyone else, so quit winning!! or i'll make u stop!

[DragonSeeker]

*rubs my head* How much did you hear? Knowing the terrain will not help us much...the land changes often...Dark magics change the very landscape here...

[Haku]

and u have lived here and adapted to that very change. U also no some of the creatures that live here. I no none. I have books and heard rumours, but that is all. You no what is true and what is not, therefore ur nowledge is needed and very useful!!

[DragonSeeker]

I feel like such an outsider from the rest of the group...*looks at her* Why am I here with you guys...Knowledge is potent, true, but what good is it if you cannot act upon that knowledge yourself??

[Haku]

*looks at him* u r here because fate brought u to us. Instead of killing urself u decided to live and join us! that is y u r here! when i first joined this party i was like u! Not sure of how i could be very helpful, but when Nic was gone someone had to take charge. Soon u will find out how u can help us and what u can do and "when u do u will become very powerful!"

[DragonSeeker]

Thanks Lillian...*smiles* Now you can keep watch. I'm going to sleep.
*walks inside our hiding spot and falls asleap quickly*
(I will try to be back on later, can't make any promises though. Later.)

[ice slider]

o.k ...i'll help too

[Haku]

*looks at Nic and pats his scar* please be ok. *dragon comes back with report* *lillian* i c. good work. now go keep watch. I need rest after all that fighting! *lies down in between restin Nic and Irvine, and falls into a deep sleep*

[ice slider]

...hmmm...im alone...great

[Haku]

*white dragon culrs around him* <u will never be alone>

[ice slider]

<oh...sorry if i offended you...not used to this kind of thing>

[Haku]

*smile at him* < i no and i'm not offended. U r conffussed and u r unsure of what u are becomming. u hold inside of u now a very powerful spirit of a dragon. u will be come more powerful in many different ways, but no matter wat u will still be kilik>

[ice slider]

<...well i know what im becoming...its just im affraid what will hapen>

[Haku]

<do not fear. I will be by ur side to help u through it. That is what Lillian created me for and that is what i shall do>

[ice slider]

*smiles*<thanks...could you tell me why this happened to me though>

[Haku]

<because u opened the chest and freed the dragon. It is the dragon's reward to u for freeing it!>

[ice slider]

<i guess so...i do like it though...its nice to be able to to your kind>*smiles*

[Haku]

*looks at him and smiles greatly* <u have no idea how much that means to us. Some other creatures wish that we do not exist and they do not wish to talk to us> *other dragon comes along and points to a corridor* <ur douple ganger is near>

[ice slider]

<hmmm...thats not good...should we wake her up?>

[Haku]

<let them rest. we only need to move if he sees us. do u think he does?>

[ice slider]

*looks at him/it*<no i don't think he/it does>

[Haku]

*smiles* <good>

[ice slider]

*he/it turns corner*<hes gone...i have a question...since im a dragon rider soon...will this mean i'll be able ride dragons...and do i get my own personal one or can i ride anyone that will let me?>

[Haku]

< u can ride a dragon if it will allow u to, however very few will.> *rubs up against him* <u can have ur own personal dragon companion, if u become clse enough to one of the dragons, which u can ride as well. I myself can become large enough for u to ride me and i wouldn't mind giving u a lift, but if we do that now we will be spoted>

[ice slider]

<well i wasn't implying that i wanted to know...i just want to know more about being a rider so i don't screw up a lot>

[Haku]

*laughs at him quietly*<u cannot screw up on being a rider. just like u cannot screw up on being an elf or a human. Just be urself, but at the same time watch the changes that are happening to u and u will be a great dragon rider. u'll see.>

[ice slider]

<i hope so...i don't want to harm a dragon though...i would never live it down>

[Haku]

*luaghs out loud only this time harder. other dragon curls tail around his mouth* shhh *lets him go* *dragon following kilik around*sry. <it's just that i've never heard of a dragon rider harming a dragon. the other way around yes, but u harming me!! don't worry bout it u have nothing to fear there!>

[ice slider]

<well what was i to expect...im an elf...i get concerned easily>

[Haku]

<right at the moment, if i were u i'd be more worried about getting hurt or killed by a certain dragon(the host of this castle) then i would about harming or killing a dragon>

[ice slider]

<i just can't focus...this is all overwhelming>

[Haku]

<breathe my dear friend. It's all in the breath. Breathe deeply and clear ur mind. u must no how to meditate. look inside u, find that spirit dragon and open ur heart to it. then it will tell u everything>

[ice slider]

<o.k i'll try>*starts meditateing*

[Haku]

*waits silently, while the other dragon keeps watch*

[ice slider]

...........................

[Haku]

*starts shifting around* "stop moving" says other dragon. "sorry i'm nervous and impatiant." *stops moving around*

[ice slider]

..............<how sad...im the onty dragon rider...this is a rare thing to be isn't it>

[Haku]

<it's not sad. it's a mirical. dragon riders are rare. too rare! u should be proud of ur gift. i no it seems like a curse, but it is adn never will be a bad thing to be. Look at lillian, irvine, xianos, nic and draco. they all treat u as though u r one ofthem. whether u r an elf or a dragon seeker. u r not a lone>

[ice slider]

<i knew that...i just think there should be more than one...ohwell im happy with this anyway>

[Haku]

< i am glad to hear that. did the meditation help? did u figure some things out?

[ice slider]

<yes thank you...i know what i have to do...by the way i never got to know your name...may i know?>
