IC: Hera Ledro blocked his brother, Sukani's, attack with his sword and jumped back. He whirled his Dragon Blade above his head and tore after his evil brother, slashing wildly. The swords made deafening clangs, resounding through the whole mountain range.

Sukani's tail slashed towards Hera, cutting his shoulder open. Hera jumped back and retaliated with a slash from hs own tail, though it was blocked by Sukani once again.

This fight had gone on for an hour already, and neither of the brothers were tiring. Hera considered this a very important battle, because it was for the fate of Earth. If he lost, Earth was doomed.

As the clangs of metal resounded through the mountain range again, Hera's mind flicked back to his home planet and how he missed it so. This was another reason why he and his other brothers fought Sukani constantly. They wanted revenge for their planet.

Sukani had invaded and controlled the mind of Hera back on their home planet and used him to destroy Allsieda (their home planet). After this, Hera, having been abandoned for dead and released from Sukani's control, his brothers, and the Dragons that chose to follow him (for this was the origin planet of the Dragons) fled through the wormhole that had been created when the Planet imploded and exploded. This wormhole led them to Earth.

But that was over 2 million years ago. This was the here and now.

Hera snapped back to attention as Sukani flew towards him, an evil grin reaching accross his face.

Tripod was walking down the moutian path, her blue eyes looked up at the sky above, "Ah what a nice day." Said Tripod as she hugged an item in her arms.

The Item in Tripod's arms seem to be a dragon's egg. Tripod found it when she tripped over it. Suddenly Tripod heard the sounds of clanging matel, "It sounds like some one is fighting, I do ever so hate fighting." Said Tripod as she continue to walk. "But I must keep going for I must find my way home." Said Tripod as she picked up the paste and hugged her Dragon egg.

Tripod past Hera and Sukani's fight with speed. Tripod only glansed over once to see who was fighting and then kept going past them. "That was close, for a second there I thought they were going to fight me." Sighed Tripod with releaf. Tripod looked at the Dragon Egg. "I guess you give me good luck." Said Tripod with a smile.
 
As my evil brother flew towards me, I raised my blade in front, barely blocking his attack. I jumped back as he swung at me again, and blasted him in the face with a blast of pure energy. On any other person, his face would be black with the ash of his scarred fur, but he already had fur as black as night. His red eyes gleamed hatred in every line, and I returned the gesture.

Ever since he had controlled me, I had harbored a deep loathing of him. Not that I didn't loathe him before, when we lived on Allsieda/Draconia, but now I hated him all the more. He was a shameless bastard who wouldn't know the word hnour if it slapped him in the face and called him pussy.

As I flew back, he had lunged at me again, tearing at me with his claws. I blocked one, but the other tore in and out of my shoulder. The same shoulder that had just healed from his attack with his tail blade.

Allsies can heal subconsciously. In other words, we have a biological factor that leads to an enzyme boost in our cells. This causes mass cell regeneration where we are wounded and heals over our wounds almost instantly. This is not without cost, however. The energy it would take a human to heal a wound like that does not skip over an Allsie. It takes just as much energy from us in an instant as it would a human over time.

As my shoulder healed again I raised my blade and slammed Sukani towards the ground, making a crater on impact. I juts wondered how long we could keep this up. I would have to transform soon.
 
Arriving on another world Nova wasn't as thrilled as she usually was, sure exploration was still thrilling but this world seemed so “Bland” for lack of a better term... well she decided to go through the motions anyways...


“Computer log location and name of the world into the central database, and do a full spectrum scan and attach those to the log.” Nova said as she walked backwards to go get her stuff ready.


“Sure Nova, Shall i call out sensory readings as they return?” The comp's AI answered, Knowing full well that she always said yes.


“Yeah do that, So what kind of tech level are we dealing with here?”


“Well it'd seem like its sort of weird, theres peoples using swords and i can also detect muzzle flashes and what appears to be Primal energy being thrown around... So for want of a better term we seem to have walked into arcanum.” the computer replied slightly puzzled, he hadn't liked that game much preferring a clearer distinction between swords and sorcery and mechanical realms.


“'Kay... Nova said, guess that means the crossbow then...” she said while walking over to the armories gun rack “guess i can always get a real gun should I be so inclined...” She said as she pooled her clothing around her feet before wriggling out of her underwear and hopping into the shower for the last time in a while. This was a habit she had picked up a few worlds ago taking one last long shower you never knew when the next time you had warm water at your disposal would be. She had gotten so fed up with being dirty that she had engaged in a little liaison with the kings eldest son to get access to some clean stuff and a bath. Her clothing was resistant to dust and filth but it wasn't entirely proof yet, which she needed to talk about with the Syndicate who had engineered the cloth. That and the after a while the chaffing got very “intimate” so to speak. And you cant really wash Victoria's Secret in a mountain stream now can you?


Well after the personal grooming rituals had concluded she picked up her clothing and got out of her shower cubicle to go back to the cockpit, where she would get the lowdown from her ships AI who should by now have completed the scanning principles.


“Aaah Nova, clean and lovely as usual” the AI intoned as she opened the sliding doors to her cockpit “Okay this is the general lowdown on Feik VI, total population of 3 billion, spread out over a few major area's of the globe, and then primarily in cities and towns, a few odd people down major “interstates” and then theres the usual farmers. More conclusive scans seem to indicate my arcanum gist wasn't far off, as they do indeed seem to be on a “mechanical fantasy” tech level. Ooh and one more thing...” he put in a dramatic pause here “There what i can only describe as DRAGONS down there... you know i like you and all but do you really wanna go down to a place that could have you served for lunch to oversize lizards? I mean sure there the stuff of myth and legend and all but we get that stuff on every third world...”


“Dragons you say?” Nova remarked as her interest was suddenly spiked “Well you'd save me wouldn't you? I mean i bet you couldn't be able to stand the agonizing torture the other ships would inflict on you if you got back to the Cop without me.”said nova in a very sultry tone of voice “You'd never live it down.”


“Suppose you do have a point... And i barely get to play the hero as is anyways... Go forth my brave champion, to adventure and try to get into trouble I'd love to save your ass” He said while posting a :P smiley on his the large screen.



OOC: one page... i seem to be out of practice i should have easily made two...
 
OOC: I'll PM you in a bit. You should read the setting that is located in the Land of Dragons Sign-up Thread. We're not in the medieval ages.

IC: I blacked Sukani's attack and retaliated with my tail. smashing him into the ground. As I rose into the air, he grabbed my ankle and threw me off to the side. I used my Dragonic wings to halt myself in mid-air and right myself. I spun around to see him tearing after me. I brought my hands behind the right side of my back and transformed, increasing my power ten times it's original. That includes the power of my energy attacks.

I focused my power into my hands and created a glowing ball of white energy. Pure energy was great. I thrust my hands forward and blasted a hugge beam of energy towards Sukani. "Kamehameha!" I cried. The beam flew towards him, and he just managed to evade it, leaving only a searing patch across his chest. His fur grew back, though it was more grey than the rest of his black fur.

He stared at me with hatred, his red demonic wings flaring in annoyance. I had become a Ledrai Allsie, completely turning the tables.

My fur shone silver and my hair flashed gold. My claws and tail blade gleamed in a copper shade, and my muscles coursed with power. This was only one of the transformations I had.

But neither was he without transformations. He became a mirror image of me, save the red demonic wings versus my brown Dragonic ones. We were nigh exacty the same in power and speed now. The only question was, wh would back down from this battle first?
 
Tripod had finally reached an the front of a dark forest. It looked so thick that it blocked out the light from the sun. "Wow, this forest reminds me of home." Said Tripod as she placed the dragon egg in her back pack.

Tripod placed the back pack tight on her, She entered the forest, it was drak and mist covered the ground. "There must be some water source near by to create this mist." Said Tripod as she sniffed the air. "If I can find that water source I can camp there." Said Tripod as she looked around. Tripod has picked up the sent of water.

Tripod began to follow the sent of water, eastbound.
 
I took the pause of the battle and used it to ask Sukani a question.

"Why did you join with America?" i called. "Why is it that you wish to eliminate the Dragons? I know full well that you want to rule the universe, but why destroy the most powerful species in the universe? You and I are far more powerful than their general population, so they would prove you no threat. Why is it you wish to do away with them." I waited for his answer. Whenit was not forthcoming, I roared: "Answer me!"

He seemed to take pleasure in my predicament, and answered me slowly, allowing every word to hit me like an anvil. His voice was as cold as freshly mined iron.

"I admit that they are of little threat to me, but they are still a threat. You know as well as I do, little brother," he sneered. "That they can merge their enitities and create more powerful beings than themselves. Bush has the right idea to destroy them. With them out o the picture, I can rise to power. That idiot Bush thinks that he wields the greatest power in the universe. Yet he is nothing to us, and we could slaughter any number of his pet humans. I will not deny brother that you are indeed as powerful as I am. Only your grandson is truly powerful enough to stop me. You know it too," he said, mocking me. "Only jake is truly powerful enough to stand in my way, and he must be eliminated. That includes his kin." Sukani considered me for a moment before continuing. "That means that there is more than one reason for me to destroy the Dragons. But enough of this." He stared at me with those pitiless red eyes. "Its time to kill you."
 
OOC: Small side note the * symbols are used instead of quote marks (“) when Ku speaks Japanese rather then English.

IC:
Somewhere deep inside the forests of Yakushima island (japan) a light never seen by the animals that lived there before appeared and illuminated the darkness. The light wasn’t a reflection of the star filled sky or full moon that shone it’s dim light through the trees.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
The light was only a small ball not bigger then a squirrel’s eye however it steadily seemed to grow bigger. As it did the light seemed to divide from white into many different colours all whirling through each other hypnotizing those who would watch. Slowly the light accelerated it’s growth and soon it was over 2 meters in diameter. Then it suddenly the light turned dark and suddenly imploded. A strong gust of wind that though power left a gentle feeling swept across the ground throwing up leaves and twigs into a whirling storm.
When the leaves settled down an circle of blue light standing upright had taken the sphere’s place. Through the circle a alien world could be seen, not only did the sun shine there while the forest of Yukashima was still hours away from dawn, but the grass and trees were all from a realm that’s wasn’t earths.
A young man stepped through the gateway, after coming through the gateway behind him shrunk, becoming smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Ku looked around him, the night air of the forest felt rejuvenating to him and for some reason the smell felt nostalgic. It was a familiar smell, Ku had repress memories of his childhood and looked around him to determine where he was.
Even with the dim light Ku could feel the trees, plants and animals nearby. Ku was surprised, somehow he knew them. While he had visited several world they had always seemed off while this place felt like home.
Holding up his hand an orb of light appeared above it and Ku saw the nearby tree. He walked towards it and touched it with his fingers, slowly following the bark’s lines from up too down.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Ku spoke out loud:
*This is…… a Sugi?* It was like an exact copy of the tree native to his home country Japan, but it couldn’t be, he fled that world because of the avatar inside of him. Io controlled where he went and he wouldn’t let him return here until his duty was fulfilled.
Ios’ voice came from inside:
This world is similar too you own, Perhaps…
Ku:
*Perhaps what?*
Ios:
Nothing just search for civilization first. But do not make contact yet.
Ku didn’t need to reply he clenched his fist and the light died out. Then he leaped up and and steadily flew close over the tree tops towards a bundle of lights in the distance. Most likely a city.
Soon he was flying over water and Ku let his hand touch the surface as he flew close too it. It was cold, and it tasted like salt. Ku increased speed, this world he was on was starting too look more and more like his own, though Ku had mixed feelings about that he wanted too know, too know how everyone was doing after he had left them. He always told himself that with disappearance they would be left alone by those who were after the power of the avatar. But there had always been a second voice in the back of his head saying that would be killed and he had abandoned them.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
As Ku came closer he noticed more light that had previously been invisible. Lines of light from highways and small clusters from villages. Ku landed near a small village and walked closer towards it. over the asphalt road. Then he stopped at a road sign. Ku read the characters: *Kagoshima 50 km*. For the first time in ages he had read something himself, previously Ios had always translated the texts for him when he read something or just gave the general meaning of the words, as Ku could read no languages other then his own.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Ku:
*This is Japan… I’m home. *
Ios replied:
This is earth but it’s not your home world…. we’re in a alternate dimension. Such dimensions are quite common. Usually they are very similar too their counterparts, City names and even people are the same but at the same time they are also different. I can already feel the presence of dragons on this world. Something that wasn’t the case when I was on your home world. Be careful not too think this is your world. No matter how similar they may be.
Ku:
*You mean that I can find people here that lived on my own world as well? *
Ios:
I mean that it’s possible for there to be an second you walking around here.
Ku:
*A second me? That would be awkward. However I still wish to see how many people from my world live here as well.*
Ios:
It’s your choice however I urge you too be careful.
Ku looked at himself, he had always managed to repair his clothing through magic so he looked like a normal high school student however he couldn’t walk into town at this hour of the night.
Ku instead walked towards a group of trees and leaned backwards against them and closed his eyes. Tomorrow he would start his investigation. He didn’t have to worry about money, as he had a few gems in his pocked he could sell at a jewellery.

OOC: Ok, here are a few suggestions.

Space apart your paragraphs and speech areas. Kind of like mine. A new paragraph for each speech or section will work wonders. Yours looks really run on (no offense intended if any is taken). I'm not allowed to make long OOC posts, so I'll leave it here and PM you later.

IC: "You haven't succeeded any of the other millions of times that we've battled," I said, hurling myself at him. "What will make this time any different?" Our swords clashed, the metallic sound resounding through the mountains. I jumped back and reverted my direction, leaping at him with even more force. Our swords met in midair and we separated again. As we flew off, I gave my tail one quick swing, cutting his shoulder open. As he was an Allsie, like me, his shoulder knitted together almost instantly. It was a very frustrating battle, but it was one that had to be fought.

To my surprise, Sukani continued to fly away, and shran into the distance. "We'll leave this for another day, little brother," the bastard called. "But for now, rest, and I will kill you next time." He always ran. The coward.
 
"AAAHHHH!!! Somebody help me!" Yelled Tripod as she was being chaced by some wild boars. "I'm sorry that I tripped on you!" Said Tripod as she looked back. The wild boar seem not to care and speed up. "AAAHH!" Yelled Tripod as she ran faster.

Tripod had no Idea where she was going, all she wanted to do is get a way from pack of wild baors that was chasing her. Suddenly Tripod hear a the rush of water, it was a waterfall! Tripod qyuickly jumpped into the hear by trees, trying to lose the pack of boars. She looked out frm the tree branch she was standing on. "Ah, I see ti the waterfall." Said Tripod as she point eastward. "It looks like it-" Said Tripod before she was interrupted by the shaking of the tree.

Tripod looked down, the boars were ramming the tree from below. "I DIDN'T THINK THAT THESE BOARS WERE SMART!" Said Tripod as she held on to the tree to keep her balance.
 
OOC: Just so it is fair to everybody, and so that it is available for all who come and read this RPG, I will place some writing tips for all. This is not because I have noticed a lot of things wrong, but a fair few minor things with our speeches. THIS IS FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL FUTURE, PRESENT, AND PAST PLAYERS, SO IT MUST BE A LONG OOC POST.

(BTW, RPGirl, you have been promoted to a Level 3. You are well on your way to becoming a squire.)

Tips

1. Separate paragraphs and speech paragraphs by an extra space between them. This will refrain from confusing SOME people as to what is in the post.

2. Use varying symbols (asterisks, slashes, dashes, etc.) to your advantage. If, for example, you put an asterisk (*) beside a speech or thought, it emphasizes that thought, giving it more power and meaning.

3. If you are having trouble with spelling, open up a new Microsoft Word or a similar document, and type that word in there. The Spellcheck should show you what is wrong with it.

I'll leave it at that for now.

IC: I heard a cry in a forest some distance away. It was too late to chase after Sukani now anyways. He had fled like the coward he was, so i had no reason to chase after him. Especially if he was as weak as he was.

I reverted back to my normal form, my fur turning blue, my hair black and my tail blade and claws bony white. I flared my wings and jumped off towards the source of the call, using my wings only to keep my balance and my energy to propel myself forward. I straightened my tail and readied it for use as a rudder, so that it would be easier to turn.

It took onlly about 2 minutes to come to the forest, and the cries for help were quickly located. There was a girl who was up in a tree, with some boars crashing against the tree top dislodge her. I frowned. Boars were always persistent. I drew my sword and slew them both with 2 quick slashes from my blade. One's head was separated and the other was disposed accross the spine, separating it from the rest of the body.

I walked over to the tree, but not before crouching over the fallen animals and giving them my deepest apologies, telling them that I did what I did because they were endagering another life. I then used my Earth Elemental skills to pull the ground over their bodies and bury them. I raised two marble stones from the ground, and put them at the head of each mound.

When I came to the tree, I held my hand out towards the Tripod that was stuck in the tree. I had met their kind on other planets before. "You need some help?" I called.
 
"Oh," Said Tripod as she looked down at Hera. "Thank you so much. Sorry Mr.Boars." Said Tripod as she let go of the tree. Tripod was about to reach out for Hera's helping hand but she slipped and fell out the tree, with three quick flips she landed saftly on the ground next to Near.

Tripod looked over at Hera, "Thank you for saving me, My name is Tripod its very nice to meet you." Said Tripod in a soft voice as she reached out to Hera's free hand and shook it. Tripod quickly let go of Hera's hand, "Oh the Dragon Egg I hope its okay!" Said Tripod as she pulled the Dragon egg out of her back pack. She gave the egg a good look and sighed with relafe. "Thank goodness it didn't get crack." Said Tripod as she put away the dragon egg back in her pack.

"I'm sorry to rush off like this, but I have to get to the waterfall, bye I hope we can meet again." Said Tripod as she walked off. As Tripod walked off she tripped but she got up and dusted herslef off, "I'm still going." Said Tripod as she marched off.
 
I stared after her with curiosity. It took me a second, but I decided to go after her. "Hey!" I called, jogging to catch up.

it ook a second for me to catch up with her. "Ok, I think that we may need some questions answered here," i said, giving my head a slight jerk towards the dragon egg she carried. "Number one is: Who are you? And why do you carry a Dragon Egg? Where did you get it?" I was amazed. Very few Dragons that I knew of would allow anybody to carry their eggs like that. I am the only one [along with my part-Dragon grandson and the rest of my family (excluding Sukani of course)] who was ever trusted to carry eggs without the supervision of another Dragon. Who was this girl to carry one of the sacred eggs?
 
"Oh" Said Tripod in a ditzy manner. "We meet again." Said Tripod as she slowed down her walking past. "Um, don't worry I took care of Dragon eggs all the time back and home...oops did I say that out loud." Said Tripod as she giggled. "Um, But I alredy told you My name is Tripod and I'm.... looking for something." Said Tripod as she looked back in front, so she won't trip.
"But, you haven't even told me your name yet, who are you?" Said Tripod as she stopped and looked at Hora.
 
"My name is Hera Ledro," I said, walking pace with her. "I would go into a great deal of detail about past and all, but I wouldn't want to bore you." I grinned. "I am more than nine million years old after all, thats a lot of history."

"What I meant when I asked wh you were was not your name, but what are you? As in, are you a Trigater or something else?" So many questions to ask, I thought. I heard a rustle of movement over in the bushes not 3 feet away, and drew my sword. "Hold on," I whispered. "There's something in the bushes." I slowly pushed my tail around the bushes and behind the one who made the noise. In an instant, I coiled it around the person's ankle and hoisted him up. It was a human. And he had been holding a gun.

"Who are you?" I demanded. "What do you want?"
 
Next morning Ku was woken up because something was poking into his side. Ku opened his eyes only to look into two giant marble like eyes that stared back at him.
Ku shouted: *Whoah! * in surprise and rolled away. When he looked at the creature that had woken him up he realised it was a dragon, a dragon whelp to be more exact though. The dragon with golden scales slowly walked in a circle around Ku observing him from every angle. It couldn’t be older then 3 years Ku estimated, for a dragon’s point of few that was still an infant. Ku looked around to see if it’s parents nearby but as expected they weren’t in sight. Dragons were solitary creatures and usually parents let their offspring develop completely on their own strength.
Ku kneeled down and took a ruby out of pocket and presented it too the dragon. The dragon cautiously came closer and inspected the gem in brought his nose up to it and sniffed it a few times before using his tongue to lick it out of Ku’s hand. The dragon then swallowed the gem and made a pleased sound.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Dragons were capable of digesting many things, though their main source of food was meat and sometimes fruits, gems like the ruby Ku had given it were like spiritual food strengthening the dragons magical powers even if only a little. But more importantly the gems tasted like candy to dragons. Young dragons are very fond of it especially before they become sentient. The dragon seemed to take a liking to Ku and now happily leaning against Ku’s legs.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Ku didn’t know what to do with the dragon and decided to leave it alone for now and head into town. He figured he was somewhere in the Kagoshima prefecture. He stepped away from the baby dragon who was visibly disappointed by Ku’s rejection, and the dragon came after him.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Ku spoke to Ios:
*Is there anything to do about this little one? *
Ios replied:
As soon as it looses interest in you it will leave you alone. Until then it’s best if you bear with it.
Ku:
*I was more wondering whether I won’t stand out too much with a dragon following me around.*
Ios:
Most probably you will but from his behaviour I don’t think he’s unfamiliar with humans. Therefore it’s likely humans will not too surprised with it’s presence either. The following you are bit is more of a problem.
Ku sighed in the end it seemed like he just had to take his chances and head into town. With the dragon whelp in his wake Ku headed towards the village.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Ku came at the village entrance and noticed it was quite a rural town. Only a hand full of people were on the street however all of them were staring at Ku and his new friend. Ku decided to ignore the situation as much as possible and continued walking towards a convenience store. However as he continued walking he noticed an elderly who had been staring at him before suddenly bowed down while the dragon whelp passed him.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Ios:
Apparently the dragon is at least of some importance too them.
Ku mumbled:
*Hmm, I guess you’re right. I wonder if these people are familiar with it. *
Ios was just about to reply when suddenly a heavy bell was sound spreading a lout “Dong” throughout the entire village. Ku turned too see it’s origin and noticed it was coming from a temple where people were ringing an enormous bell.
The dragon behind Ku raised it’s head and suddenly dashed towards the temple. Ku wondered what that was about, after throwing a look at the store he decided that could wait till after he had investigated. After all this was a good opportunity to learn more about the dragons in this world.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Ku headed towards the temple, when he arrived he saw that it was bigger then he originally thought, the giant doorway was open and Ku could see that the dragon whelp was in the middle of the courtyard eating an dead cow.
A sweat drop formed on Ku’s forehead.
Could it have been the sound had been the ringing of the dinner bell for the dragon?
Though he had not spoken out loud Ios still heard Ku’s thoughts and replied:
It seems like it. Apparently they feed this dragon, for some reason. Perhaps we can find out more if we investigate.
Ku stepped forward, however as he went through the doorway to the courtyard he filled shivers running down his spine.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Ku realised he had been careless, apparently the whole temple was protected by magic, which he could easily have found out if only he had used his sixth sense. But ever since he had thought this was his own world he slightly forgot about using it. The spell protecting the temple was apparently not effective against Ku though, however it could mean trouble.
Suddenly the door of a nearby building was thrown open and a young girl wearing priestess robes came running out, she placed herself between Ku and the dragon whelp spreading her arms as if in an attempt to block his path.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
The girl glared at Ku and spoke:
*Who are you and what do you want with Ryuuki-sama? *
Ku thought
Ryuuki-sama? Ahh the dragon.
Ku replied:
*I am.. uhmm.. Yukito.* Ku felt somewhat guild from using his friends name instead of his own but for now he didn’t want to trouble any possible other dimensional counterpart of himself. *I came here to learn more about dragons. *
The girl shouted:
*Like I’d believe that, you’re an American assassin aren’t you? *
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
American assassin? Ku thought, The Americans were after the dragons life? What was going on in this world?
It seemed like the girl was convinced of Ku being bad guy and Ku had no idea on how to convince her otherwise. However it seemed like he didn’t have too, the dragon whelp which the girl had called Ryuuki had stopped eating and moved around Hitomi and headed towards Ku.
The girl cried out:
*Don’t Ryuuki-sama he’s a bad guy! *
Even though she looked like she was about to grab the dragon and drag him away the priestess girl seemed reluctant to touch the dragon. Ryuuki seemed to ignore the screams of priestess and bit into Ku’s coat and tried to drag him towards the priestess. Or more likely the cadaver of the cow. Apparently it wanted to repay Ku for the treat he had given him earlier.
Ku didn’t want to be impolite however he didn’t feel like eating raw meat either and instead just sat next to Ryuuki while the priestess girl could do nothing but stare at them for a while.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
When she had regained her senses the priestess stood behind Ku and said:
*Why are you so friendly with Ryuuki-sama? He’s doesn’t ever share his food with anyone, not even me. *
Ku could sense some sadness in the last part, apparently she cared a lot for the dragon whelp, making Ku wonder what kind of relation she had with it.
Ku:
*It was following me around earlier, when it headed here after that bell was rang I decided to follow it too see where it was doing.*
The priestess seemed to be at a loss. She couldn’t make out anything off the situation, because Ryuuki was friendly with Ku it proved that he wasn’t a bad person but he had still walked through the barrier like it meant nothing too him.
The priestess spoke:
*Are you perhaps a dragon priest as well? *
Ku looked at the girl. He didn’t know what a dragon priest was but from the circumstances it seemed like it was someone who took care of dragons. Ku knew that he could claim he was however such a lie was probably easy to figure out for the girl.
Ku:
*Let’s just say I know a lot of things about dragons, however I’m not familiar with the term dragon priest. *
The priestess was now completely confused, everyone knew who dragon priests were, it was a honourable job many wished to have. Still in front of her was someone claiming ignorance.
Ku stood up and said:
*I need to know some things, if you promise you won’t tell anyone about it I’m willing to teach you a few things about dragons if you tell me what I want to know. *
 
The priestess thought about Ku’s request, the situation she was in was confusing and this decision was important. Though she eagerly wanted to know how come the young man was capable of being so friendly with Ryuuki-sama who normally was so full of pride and didn’t get affectionate with anyone.
The girl spoke:
*……Alright. But not here. Let’s get inside. *
Ku stood up and left Ryuuki to finish his dinner, he followed the girl towards the temple and the entered. The wooden floor creaked under Ku’s heavy steps while the girl let him into a small room with a low table surrounded by some cushions. The girl sat down at one side and Ku took place opposite to her.
The girl spoke:
*Ask away. *
Ku smiled:
*Why don’t you first introduce yourself? *
The girls face became red, apparently she had completely forgotten that she hadn’t introduced herself to Ku.
The girl spoke:
*My name is Kurogama Hitomi, the priestess of this temple. *
Ku:
*Nice to meet you Hitomi. Could you tell me what dragons mean to the people of Japan? *
Hitomi was puzzled but decided to answer anyways:
*Dragons are holy creatures that protect us from evil in return we nurture their offspring like Ryuuki-sama. Of course only a few dragon baby’s are born during each generation, it’s a great honour for our temple to take care of one.
People are forbidden to harm dragons, unless attacked of course, you also may not try to force to do something it or intimidate it. Meeting a dragon brings good fortune therefore it is polite to bow when a dragon passes you. However I never seen a dragon following someone around like it did with you.*
Ku smiled:
*Hmm I guess I could tell you a little trick. But first let me ask you. What do you feed Ryuuki? *
Hitomi was red with anger:
*That’s Ryuuki-sama! Anyways we usually feed it raw meat like the cow out there. Sometimes a sheep and some fruits as well.*
Ku:
*Nothing else?*
Hitomi:
*No why?*
Ku reached into his pocket and took out a few gems and laid them on the table. Ku:
*Ever tried giving him one of these?*
Hitomi’s eyes became big as she picked up an emerald. She had probably never seen or heard about emeralds that size. After all these came from an other world with very high gravity and a soil rich with minerals. Allowing gems to become as big as fists. What Ku had brought with him were rather small ones in comparison.
Hitomi:
*These must be worth a fortune. * She glared at Ku *How did you get these? *
Ku:
*They were a reward given to me. I didn’t steal them if that’s what you think. If I had done so then all news papers would have been filled with it.*
Hitomi:
*These are gems right? Is Ryuuki really capable of eating such things? *
Ku:
*Dragons are quite fond of gems actually, they enhance their power also it could be considered dragon candy. *
Hitomi studied the emerald between her fingers. Then said:
*So this is why Ryuuki is so interested in you? Because you have candy?*
Ku scratched his head:
*Well it’s one reason at least. There is a more important reason which I can’t explain to you, but this should at least help. I have more questions though.*
Ku continued to ask Hitomi all sorts of questions about the dragons and how the world was doing. Especially the war between America and the rest of the world caught Ku’s curiosity. Io had send Ku here without explanation but as far as Ku could tell he would need to put a stop to Bush’s plans before dragons became extinct on this world. When both of them were done questioning Ku left the gems with Hitomi in exchange for a lot of cash. Though it was not nearly their true value Ku didn’t mind. The gems would only get unwanted attention if found and they were quite useless when trying to travel half way across Japan. With the money he could buy a train ticket at Kagoshima not to mention buy food. He hadn’t eaten after arriving on this world and an entire day had past already.

Tripod jumped up in supried, "You're a dragon!" Said Tripod with a smile. Tripod then looked at the human. "He looks like a bounty hunter, I hope he's not after me." Said Tripod as she scrached her head.
"But to answer your question, yes, my last name is Trigater. Tripod Trigater is my name. And how do you know about my clan. We are very scecrtive." Said Tripod as she looked at Hora.
As Tripod was talking to Hora, she filked a pebble into the gun, so if the human did shoot the bullet would hit him not Tripod.

OOC: lol. RPGirl, my names Hera, not Hora (god those images you gave me...*shudder*)

IC: I could see that Tripod was referring to my dragonic wings when she cried out "Yo're a dragon!"


I continued to stare at the human's hard, stubborn face, but addressed Tripod. "No, I am not a Dragon. My age and wings are a biological aspect, though they are Dragon-based." I gave the human a cold stare. "But we will talk of this later. Now, human, answer me. Who are you and what do you want?"

The human grinned, but answered not. I coiled my tail further up towards his back and tightened it. I was amazed to feel metal instead of bone when my tail blade punctured his skin. What was he?

OOC: I'm going to start a Land of Dragons Quest Discussion Thread. I'll explain more in that thread, but it's basically a place where we can talk and vote on quests for groups to partake in. It would make this a lot more organized, and we wouldn't get confused with people making their individual quests come first.

BTW, RPGirl is officially my second-in command, and Drachnon (who has just been promoted to Level 3) is my third-in-command.

ooc: sorry about that Hera-sama, and mega magic thanks.

IC: Tripod looked at the human, "Hera-kun, don't hurt him, I can't stand voilence." Said Tripod as she looked at Hera and then back at the human.
Then Tripod smell somthing from the human, "Does this human have metal in his body?" Said Tripod as she looked at the human with a puzzled look.

Tripod smell a very strong sent of metal coming from his blood. "Oh my gosh he's bleeding!" Said Tripod as she saw some blood trikle from the human, Tripod fainted due to the sight of blood.
