Posts by Wyrm of Dragonclan

OOC: Sure!

IC: Wyrm's concentration broke, and she had to close her eyes. When she opened them, she saw the temple in the past. The dragons that once lived here looked at her. Then, in a moment they were gone, and she was back in the present. She got up, going farther into the temple. She arrived at a balcony that was on the other side of the mountain. She now knew where to go to find Malice. She went back the way she came, arriving at her cave near Dragonclan. She went to a bag that stood in her den, and opening it (somehow) she saw her battle armor, good as new. She only put the metal necklace, the arm braces, the back piece of armor that went onto her wings, and the bracelet to her tail on. All pieces were pure platinum that had beautiful designs of gold sketched into them. She then headed back to the dragon temple.

"I am planning on taking a trip. I'll need you to pick out a small group of fighters, which will include yourself" said Malice, not looking away from the jewel in his hand. "Were going to meet some.. distance relatives, you might say." Malice then crushed the jewel in his hand, then letting the dust left over fall from his claws. "I do know how much you enjoy having fun, and so I hope you won't prove my judgement wrong."

"I'm going to lure Malice here by the next half moon. And where I'm going is dangerous, so I need to be prepared" Wyrm explained. "After all, I'm going into his terrain."

OOC: Malice is the evil dragon from Wyrm's past who will attack Dragonclan. The clan is planning to suffocate him under the tunnels in the tunnels. Thing is, Malice is one of the most powerful dragons, so there's that to consider.

IC: "Malice is no ordinary dragon. He's known to be one of the most powerful dragon in history. I can't promise that you'll return to Dragonclan with your life" said Wyrm.

OOC: Lol, so many cagons invading Wyrm's personal den XD yes she has her own den because she can't fit into the warrior's den without breaking it.

IC: "Whoever else wants to come with me, follow the tunnel that is lighted by purple crystals. There's a dragon temple on the other end of the mountain, which is where we'll be heading. Meet me there by nightfall. Oh, and if you want you can borrow any pieces of armor from this bag if you like. Though I would advise light armor." Wyrm got up, and started to make her way to the tunnel. "I would advise on taking the time to also let your loved ones know your leaving. If you want to ask me any questions before-hand feel welcome to ask them."

"Look through the bag and pick out what you want to use" Wyrm meowed. "As for who we are fighting, we'll be luring Malice himself here in half a moon. Though the journey is harsh..."

Wyrm arrived at the dragon temple. Rays of light shone down on into the once-great ruins. Going through several doors (of which several she had to speak an unknown language, for the doors were to protect the temple from intruders) she stopped in a rather large circular room, where the stature of a mighty dragon sat in the middle of the room. The dragon was sitting down while standing tall, with his large wings wrapped around himself like a shield. His tail curled around his feet and he seemed to gaze at the cagons as they entered the room. The strangest part was that this stature had three horns, two on each side of his head with one in the middle. Wyrm went around the large stature (which took up most of the room) to a circular door (nothing new, all the doors were circular, since they were build by dragons who seemed to hate corners).
Opening the doors lead to a large balcony, whose view was that of the lands on the over side of the mountain. Smaller mountains could be seen, as well as lands past them. A sea with islands to the east, forest at the west, and other lands in the north. "This is where we will be traveling" said Wyrm. "We'll be leaving at sunrise first thing. Tonight we'll be staying at the temple so that I can tell you about where we are going, as well as answering any questions you or anyone else have." Wyrm looked at the armor Acepaw picked out. "You have a good eye" she remarked. "That particular set of armor was given to me by a blacksmith once when I saved his village from a pack of madraken wolves. The armor has various enchantments that are particularly useful in certain situations. You'll find out soon enough."

OOC: OMG BULBISAURS!!!! SO MANY!!! WITH PUPPY EYES!!! OMG!!! *dies from cuteness overload*

"In case you haven't noticed, I don't have a warrior name ether, though for me it's by choice" said Wyrm. "Be patient Acepaw. You'll get yours soon. For now, we better focus on the task at hand." Wyrm went back into the room with the large stature. She looked at the cagons assembled there, Lavaflow, Firebreath, Acepaw, and Ghostpaw (sorry if I forgot anyone). "I see you all are prepared" she meowed. "Well, we'll be leaving first thing at dawn so if have any questions ask them."

OOC: Yes, yes he can.

IC: Wyrm went back to the balcony, and looked at the starry sky, asking for her dragon descendants and Starclan for success on their mission.

OOC (again!): Basicly, evil dragon named Malice will attack Dragonclan. The cats at dragonclan are going to prepare a trap for him (him being suffocated underground) in half a moon, which Cloud and Nightstar are in charge of, so go see them, and Wyrm and a small group of Cagons are going to lure Malice here and into the trap.

Wyrm closed her eyes. "More than you know. He destroyed and took away my home once. I must stop him from doing it again though." No sooner had she said that she heard small footsteps in the other room. Going into it, she saw Dragonkit in the room. Wyrm mentally face-smacked herself. Of course the kit would be curious.

I wasn't aware that this room had a corner, thought Wyrm (lol she breaking the fourth wall DX not another character that does that!). "Flarekit, Dragonkit, right now it's important that you stay in camp" she said, approaching the two. "Please, for your safety don't venture from camp again for the rest of the moon."

Wyrm thought for a moment. "Where we are going is now a place for little kits as yourself" she said. "You'll have plenty of adventures when your older. But, since you came all this way, how about I tell you two of a tale so you can tell the other kits?" Wyrm knew the kits were curious, so why not quench it with a tale? It would certainly save the clan a lot of trouble.

"I will tell you of the founders of my home" said Wyrm after thinking over what story to tell the kits.

"In the early days of the world, when humans lived in caves and the great saber-toothed cats roamed the earth, many creatures had no morals. It was a world where you had to fight everyday just to survive, kill or be killed. There were no clans, at least, clans like you know of today. The beasts of the olden world didn't know loyalty, so how could they form 'groups' who relied on each other to survive.
However, there were four who would change this.
The first was a fire dragon named Vanhi. Like many other beasts, he knew nether mercy nor loyalty to anyone but himself. If someone or something got on Vanhi's nerves, he would destroy it without a second thought. Because of this, many feared him, and many more hated him and wanted him dead. Yet, there was no one who could even scratch the mighty dragon, who strength was that of a god. However, there was one enemy he could not hurt, one who, try as he might, he could never lay a scratch on. That, was the guilt he felt every time he ended a lifeforce. Try as he might, no matter how much he despised the ones he killed, or how much he tried to push this feeling away, he could not help but be sadden by the deaths around him, and those he caused. Every day this feeling of guilt caused him to squirm with pain. At night he would lay awake for hours thinking of all the deaths around him. Until one night, in a dream, he was visited by a being."

OOC: THis story will spam into a couple posts, just warning you.

"This being claimed that the guilt that Vanhi felt was a gift that very few possessed, and that it would lead to something grand. The fire dragon was doubtful that this feeling could lead to anything useful, however. To him, it was a weakness.
Years passed by after the being visited him, and the days were uneventful. Until Farkun, an ape who was one of Vanhi's worst enemies, attacked the jungle nearby with an army of his kind. Vanhi went to the jungle, as he felt that no one should rule it but him, and challenged Farkun to a fight to the death.
Both were evenly matched, but at the end of the fight Vanhi overpowered Farkun. He was about to deliver the finishing blow when he stopped. Vanhi hated Farkun, but killing him would make the dragon feel even more guilty. So, instead of finishing Farkun off, he gave the ape a large scar on his face. Vanhi then told Farkun that he would not take his life today, but if he ever set foot into the jungle again he would kill him without a doubt. Farkun asked him why he was letting him live, and Vanhi replied, "I have already proven which one of us is stronger, so why should I kill you?"
Farkun did leave the jungle, but he vowed revenge on Vanhi afterwards. The inhabitants of the jungle came to respect Vanhi, because afterwards he protected them from harm. In repayment he asked them to stop fighting each other and instead lean on each other to survive. He left after he felt that the inhabitants would work with each other, and Vanhi then went on a journey to teach others what he had learn."

Wyrm paused for a moment, letting the kits sink in the story. She would tell the story of the other three dragons in a much shorter tale, and then would tell the kits how they founded her homeland when she and the others returned.

OOC: Yes. Also, Should Wyrm tell of the other three dragons now, or wait until after Malice is taken care of?

OOC: Okay!

IC: "Next, I'll tell you of the next founder. Like Vanhi, he was a dragon, one of electricity. It was a couple of years after Vanhi left on his journey to change the world, and after he influenced so many.
The Electricity dragon's name was Arjun. Unlike others he was a happy-go-lucky kind of person who always could see the bright side of any situation. Others, however, became jealous of the young dragon's ability to never be sad, no never feel the harsh reality of the world surrounding them. No matter what happened nothing could stop Arjun from always having a big grin on his face. In fact, the next founder, the ice dragon named Yseult was one of many who hated the young dragon. So much in fact, that he decided he would open the eyes of Arjun to the harsh reality.
However, whatever Yseult did could not put Arjun down. Since you are still kits I will not tell you what he did, other than anyone else would had been devastated. One night, Arjun went out late, sneaking out of the village he lived in. Wondering where he was going, Yseult followed him. Arjun stopped at a grave and was silent. Then, he began to sing a song."

Wyrm paused for a moment, then began to sing the very song that Arjun sang. (I just looked up a song, and found this. It's a very nice song. I was originally trying to look up a Japanese song, or type a song here, but I found this instead: ).

"Yseult realized something as he heard Arjun sing this song. The young dragon had suffered so much, most likely more than anyone else, yet he continued to smile because he hoped, no, KNEW, that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Arjun broke down in front of the grave crying. 'Why is it that I am hated by everyone that I come cross? They call me a brat, and say I know nothing of the world. Is what there saying true? Do i really know nothing of the pain they feel? Then what's this ache in my chest that I feel everyday?'
Yseult came out of hiding. Arjun jumped up in surprised, backing away from the ice dragon. 'Relax. I'm not here to hurt you.'
'Then why is it that you always follow me, and make me suffer all the time? Don't think I don't notice what you've done' said Arjun.
The ice dragon quickly gave Arjun a hug, which surprised him. 'The reason why everyone seems to hate you is that they are jealous of you. They see you smile, when they can not. Arjun, I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you because of something so trivial. Please, you don't have to suffer alone anymore, you can tell me all your troubles.'
So, the two of them went back to the village. They talked for the rest of the night, and every night afterwards. The two became the best of friends, and shortly left their village to find others who have suffered like they have."

Wyrm paused, letting the kits sink in the story. After this would be the story of the earth dragon, Mankato. She would tell them when she got back about how the four met if they wanted to learn more.

OOC: Thanks!

IC: "Yes. The last founder of my home, Mankato, the earth dragon, and whom this dragon temple was made for." She flicked her tail towards the giant stature of thee impressive three-horned dragon that was in the middle of the room.

"Mankato was a religious traveler. He would travel the world, spreading the beliefs of good-will. He believed that there was an afterlife, and that if you did good you would spend the rest of your life in a utopia. He had his share of adventures, but the one I'm going to tell you is as much as his tale as it is for the other four I have told you of so far.
Mankato traveled around, searching for Vanhi, Arjun, and Yseult. He was searching for them, because one night, the same being that visited Vanhi came to him, telling him to find three other dragons. So, he went to each town now, gathering information on them. First, he went to find Arjun. Yseult was not with him, for the two had decided to go separate ways for a bit, as one wanted to settle down while the other wanted to travel some more.
Mankato told Arjun how a being came to him and asked him to gather three dragons together for it. Arjun asked why, and the earth dragon replied he did not know, but it would change the world as they knew it. Arjun agreed to, and said he knew where Yseult was.
Yseult was currently at his homeland, a snowy mountain range, where a creature of ice resided, who threatened to destroy his home. Mankato and Arjun joined up with him after an attack. and together the three of them hiked up to the tallest peak, where the ice creature resided. When they got there, however, they quickly realized that they had no chance to defeat this mighty creature. No matter what they did, they couldn't lay a scratch on the creature. Just as they thought they were done for, a blast of fire came out of no where, hitting the ice creature and making it shriek, for fire was it's weakness.
A fire dragon had come to help them out, after hearing from the village of the creature that plagued them and the three who went to stop him. The fire dragon quickly defeated the ice creature, chasing it away. Mankato approached the fire dragon afterwards, asking him if he was Vanhi. The fire dragon replied that he was, and asked how the earth dragon knew.
At that moment, the creature that visited Vanhi and Mankato appeared in the cave. The creature claimed that the four of them were destined to change the world from the wasteland it was to a world of beauty, where everyone could live in peace. Yseult asked the being how they could do that, and the being replied, [glow=blue,2,300]'You have already changed the world.'[/glow]

[glow=blue,2,300]'You four, from birth, were gifted with blessings. Mankato, while other turned a deaf ear away from justice, you have always listened closely to the whispers of good and spread it's teaching and morals to others. Yseult, you have always been one to help others in need, no matter what the cost to yourself. Arjun, the pain you have suffered has helped you to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and you have helped so many to find it as well. And Vanhi... You follow your heart, and because of this, you always know what is right. And you four have spread these gifts to others as well. Before you, there were no villages. It was kill or be killed. But now, all kinds of creatures can gather in peace. Yet, your job is far from over. Together, build a place where you can pass your gifts to future generations so they may help the world as well. I have waited so many years to pass this task to someone else, as this task was mine at first. But I died young, too young to make a difference. Please, complete my task so that I may rest in peace'[/glow]

And with that, the being finally passed on. Vanhi, Arjun, Yseult, and Mankato build a city where creatures far and wide came. This city was later to be known as the city of dragons, in honor of the four dragons who changed the world. A temple was built for each of them. The temple we stand in now, the temple of Earth, is one of them. And where we will be going... is the dragon city... So we can get rid of Malice once and for all..."

Wyrm paused. "And that is the story of the founders of my home. They went on many adventures afterwards, but the sun will rise soon, and we must depart as soon as possible."

OOC; Thank you, just something I came up with along the way.

IC: "If anything, I should be thanking you for letting me share that with you" meowed Wyrm. "Where I'm from, it's one of many stories that everyone knew. It's nice to know that now others know it as well." She got up. "We'll be leaving soon. Kits, I would advise getting back to camp before they realize your missing."

"Hopefully there won't be any dieing" meowed Wyrm. She spread her wings outside and flew into the air, above everyone else.

"That said, all of you be careful" Wyrm meowed. "Where we are going is dangerous. I can not promise you'll all make it back alive. I can, however, promise it'll be more likely you'll live if you make sure to listen to me, and don't do anything foolish. Dragonclan needs every single one of you alive to survive."

"Your welcome" meowed Wyrm. "It's sunrise, so I'm sure the clan will notice your missing soon, so you better get going back." And with that, she flew down the mountain, as they were nearly at the peak of it. Rivers, which went through the mountain, lead to waterfalls as she brushed the surface of the water with her claws, enjoying the flight. Following the main water stream (as there were a lot) would lead them to a dense forest, which she had explored with her free time. Already they would be in different lands, as the forest had a magical feel to it. Though that could also be because of the mushrooms and fireflies that lived there, among other things. It would probably take them two or three days to get through the forest, though. It was rather large, and flying over it would be almost impossible, as there were no updrafts and no where to land, as the forest's canopy was dense. That was why they were following the river, so they could enter the forest without having to go through the tree branches. She closed her eyes, as she felt the wind blowing around her,
