RufusSafer: The young woman walked down the street, humming a tune she picked up some where, holdign a basket of flowers. She smiled after everyone she past, wearing the new pink dress her brother had gotten her.
EeoRaptor: The townsfolk greeted her... it was nice to have her back... a few of them remembered her from when she was a tiny girl
RufusSafer: "hello!" she waved to the workmen who were busy repairing something that had been left in ruins from a year ago. She took out a small package from under the flowers and handed it to them. "Brought you some lunch."
EeoRaptor: They smiled and thanked her... she was a blessing after the war
RufusSafer: She had appeared after 10 years, retruned to them with her brother... they had heard the story that she had been under a curse and used by zaibach and after they were destroyed the curse was broken but it weas hard to belive... "Don't work to hard." She handed them some flowers too and smield.
EeoRaptor: "You take care heading home... Ive heard tell that mountain dragon has been seen about..
RufusSafer: "Don't worry. The only really dangerous creatures are men." She smiled at them.
RufusSafer: She continued on, toward the edge of town where the gaurds waited.
EeoRaptor: The guards were making sure that none of the remaining zaibach rebels were causing any problems.... but there werent many... just a few rogues that liked to steal food from the town
RufusSafer: She smiled at them and handed them lunch as well, and some flowers. "Hello!"
EeoRaptor: "Thank you Celena.. how is your brother Allen?" One asks
RufusSafer: "He's good. He's on the other side of town."
RufusSafer: "How are you doing?"
EeoRaptor: "No troubles today.. I think they've finally given up"
RufusSafer: "The rebels?"
EeoRaptor: The guard nods
RufusSafer: "That's good to know. They probably decided to find a nice place to settle down and start their own way of life."
EeoRaptor: "Hopefully."
RufusSafer: "I'm sure they have. Everyone's happy."
EeoRaptor: The guards nod
RufusSafer: She smiled, heading out of town.
EeoRaptor: Towards the forest that stood between her home and the town
RufusSafer: All by herself, humming that tune
EeoRaptor: Something big crunched through the trees to the side of her
RufusSafer: She turned, cocking her head to one side and stopping her humming.
EeoRaptor: Something big emerged on the path... just in front of her... something white and teal and feathery
RufusSafer: A very strange looking dragon. She did not look at it with fear though, which is usally what sets dragons off, but smiled gently at it.
EeoRaptor: One of its wings was at an odd angle... probably explaining why it was down in the forest instead of its mountain home. The creature swung its broad diamond shaped head towards her.. eyeing her as a potential meal
RufusSafer: She kept both hands together, holding her basiket of flowers. "Hello."
RufusSafer: her voice was calm, and melodic.
EeoRaptor: The dragon lowers its head and sniffs her..
RufusSafer: She was nonthreatning and unafraid.. smelling of the flowers she gathered... very sweet.
EeoRaptor: It snorts... and starts to trundle down the path ... deciding she isnt edible
RufusSafer: She giggles and starts to follow the dragon.
EeoRaptor: It crunches off the path shortly after... heading for the pool she landed her melef at when she had the brief relapse that tipped her brother off
RufusSafer: She followed it all the way there. "Where you going?" She asked.
EeoRaptor: It flops down by the pool and noses at its wing.... then just lays there
RufusSafer: She walked right up to it, setting down her flowers and pulling up a few. she then proceded to thread them into the dragon's mane. Some lovely purple flowers
EeoRaptor: The dragon just about ignores her.... its just another one of those little things
RufusSafer: She smiles when she's done.. the mane now interlaced with pretty flowers. "Sleep tight draggy." She giggles, patting it's nose as she picks up her basket and heads back down toward town.
EeoRaptor: Later that day the dragon raids a farm and eats 2 of their cattle.....
RufusSafer: The townsmen come in and try to drive it away, and one sees the flowers in it's mane... knowing who's flowers they were too.
EeoRaptor: It roars at them and drags off another cow in its jaws... heading back into the forest
RufusSafer: The townsman's jaws dropped. "Celena went up to that thing??":
EeoRaptor: She was innocent... but... going up to a dragon was just stupid
RufusSafer: "We'd better tell Allen."
EeoRaptor: Allen raises an eyebrow at the story
RufusSafer: His sister was in another room, washing dishes.
RufusSafer: "It's true Allen..t he dragon had Celena's flowers in it's mane."
EeoRaptor: "Why would she go up to a dragon.... maybe it was just rolling around in a patch of flowers.."
RufusSafer: "Well.. um.. you do have a point there allen.. but I swear it looked like hers."
EeoRaptor: "I doubt my sister would be that foolish..."
RufusSafer: "Are you sure? I mean.. um.. of coruse she isn't..." They all liked Allen's sister.
EeoRaptor: Allen nods "go back to your posts"
RufusSafer: "yes sir." They hurried out.
EeoRaptor: Allen goes into the kitchen and looks at his sister
RufusSafer: She's humming that strange tune again as she finishes the dishes.
EeoRaptor: "Celena...?"
RufusSafer: She stopps humming and looks at him, smiling. "Yes dear brother?"
EeoRaptor: "You werent... playing with any dragons were you?
RufusSafer: "Why do you ask?"
EeoRaptor: "One of the guards saw a dragon with flowers in its mane..."
RufusSafer: "Oh really? What happend to it?"
EeoRaptor: They had to run it off a farm ... it was stealing cattle
RufusSafer: "So it's ok then?"
EeoRaptor: "I dont know... they said they had to poke at it..."
RufusSafer: "Oh. It didn't seem dangerous to me."
EeoRaptor: "Celena, I dont want you going near it. We'll probably have to call someone in to kill it"
RufusSafer: She frowned. "why?"
EeoRaptor: "Its dangerous"
RufusSafer: "It was killing cattle.. it is not dangrous..."
EeoRaptor: "How do you know it wont eat people if it cant find cattle?'
RufusSafer: "Didn't eat me."
EeoRaptor: "stay away from it..!"
RufusSafer: She sighed. "Yes brother.." She frowned and walked out of the kitchen.
EeoRaptor: Allen sighs.. his sister is endangering herself foolishly...playing with a dragon....
RufusSafer: She walked to her bedroom.
EeoRaptor: She just didnt understand why her brother had gotten so ... upset
RufusSafer: She found the dragon to be non dangerous to her
EeoRaptor: It hardly even seemed to notice her
RufusSafer: she liked it.. the dragon seemed lost.. like she once had been
EeoRaptor: But her brother had talked about hurting it
RufusSafer: that she didn't like.... she didn't want the poor dragon hurt
EeoRaptor: It wasnt its fault that it was hungry
RufusSafer: She would have to find a new food source for the dragon so he won't get hurt
EeoRaptor: What did dragons eat?
RufusSafer: She would have to make him some dinner.. try out some different food types.. maybe a roast
EeoRaptor: How much did it eat?
RufusSafer: probably a lot but maybe she could get it to settle for less
EeoRaptor: Especially if she cooked really well
RufusSafer: She would gather some things for dinner and cook for the beast
EeoRaptor: Prove to her brother it wasnt dangerous
RufusSafer: that it could be tamed...
EeoRaptor: Maybe it could be her pet
RufusSafer: something for her to ride.. she smiled at that
EeoRaptor: That would be neat.. flying on the back of a dragon... she had memories of flying.. odd ones that she didnt understand
RufusSafer: Ones she couldn't remember.. didn't want to remember.
EeoRaptor: But it would be neat to ride the dragon.. although... its wing seemed hurt
RufusSafer: she could probably help it with that too... she began rumaging for some bandages.
EeoRaptor: Forget what allen said.. that poor dragon...
RufusSafer: She was to kind just to leave it hurt.. so after her brother was asleep she slipped out to go find it
EeoRaptor: It was laying by the pool again... making a slight lowing sound.... almost like a cow
RufusSafer: She smiled at it. "Hello there."
EeoRaptor: It swiveled its head to look at her... one of its big eyes peering at her
RufusSafer: She smiled and curtsied to it. "I brought you something."
EeoRaptor: It sniffed her curiously.. but since she wasnt giving off anything but peaceful emotions...
RufusSafer: no fear at all.. only happyness and concern for the dragon, not even herself
EeoRaptor: It put its head down on its paws....... and just looked at her
RufusSafer: she climbed up on it, going to the injured wing.
EeoRaptor: It shifts a little... making that sound again
RufusSafer: She giggled. "Hold still silly..." She smiled and started to work on bandaging the wing, using a large ball of cloth strips.
EeoRaptor: It holds still..
RufusSafer: "Thank you." she hummed that tune as she worked.
EeoRaptor: It puts its head back on its paws... being very quite while she humms the tune
RufusSafer: It was a familiur tune to the beast... and one that the girl didn't know where she learned
EeoRaptor: It makes an odd sound... one that sounds somehow sad
RufusSafer: She finished and frowned a bit. "Draggy? Are you sad?"
EeoRaptor: It rumbles softly.. rubbing its face on the ground
RufusSafer: "Awww.. how come?"
EeoRaptor: It snorts softly... moving a little again
RufusSafer: She jumped down and went to the face.
EeoRaptor: It was as nearly big as she was
RufusSafer: She rested her hand gently on the tip of the snout.
EeoRaptor: Its eyes cross slightly to try and see what she's doing
RufusSafer: She smiled. "You're warm and feel nice."
EeoRaptor: It licked her
RufusSafer: She giggled. "Now I'm all slimy!"
EeoRaptor: It snorts.... and licks her again..
RufusSafer: She laughed, falling back to the ground.
EeoRaptor: It nosed her curiously... then put its head back onto its paws to just look at her
RufusSafer: She smiled, looking up at it.. not seeming to care that her dress got all muddy
EeoRaptor: It let out a huff and closed its eyes.... sprawling out more
RufusSafer: "Tired draggy?"
EeoRaptor: It let out a contented sigh...... one of its eyes opening halfway
RufusSafer: she stood up, wiping at her dress. "I suppose so. Well, I will see you again."
EeoRaptor: Its tail thumped slightly against the ground
RufusSafer: She smiled and leaned over, kissing the beast's nose.
EeoRaptor: Its eyes opened and it looked at her curiously again
RufusSafer: "Bye bye draggy." she walked away,.
EeoRaptor: It got up and started to follow her
RufusSafer: She stopped, turning back to smile at him. "Oh? You want to come with me?"
EeoRaptor: It stops when she stops and looks at her
RufusSafer: "My brother would not be happy;.. he seems to think you are dangerous. it wouldn't be safe for you back home."
EeoRaptor: It sits down.. with a small thump
RufusSafer: "I'll come visit you every day and bring you what food I can, alright?"
EeoRaptor: It looks at her and lays back down... curling its tail around itself
RufusSafer: She patted it and smiled. "Will see you tomorrow."
EeoRaptor: It sighed and closed its eyes
RufusSafer: She headed back home, sneaking back into her house.
EeoRaptor: Allen was none the wiser
RufusSafer: her dress was dirty though.. she'd have to wash it
EeoRaptor: Hopefully Allen wouldnt notice
RufusSafer: To bed she went.. sleeping.. and dreaming about the dragon
EeoRaptor: It haunted her for some reason
RufusSafer: The dragon seemed.. familiur yet not
EeoRaptor: it was odd
RufusSafer: When she woke she went right to the kitchen to start breakfast
EeoRaptor: Allen staggers into the kitchen...... looking sleepy and depressed
RufusSafer: She stood there in her night gown. "Good morning brother."
EeoRaptor: "Good morning celena" He says.. plunking down at the table
RufusSafer: "Are you alright?" She served him breakfast.
EeoRaptor: "Yes... dragon was making noise and I couldnt sleep... its going to have to go"
RufusSafer: "what?"
EeoRaptor: "Its dangerous Celena... we're going to have to either drive it back to the mountains or kill it"
RufusSafer: "What do you mean it was making noise?"
EeoRaptor: It sounded like it was moaning ...
RufusSafer: "How did you hear it?"
EeoRaptor: "It was quite loud..."
RufusSafer: "Oh... I heard nothing." She sat down with a plate.
EeoRaptor: "I figure its down at the springs..."
RufusSafer: "Brother.. it's not harming anyone."
EeoRaptor: "But it might...."
RufusSafer: "It's not a bad dragon."
EeoRaptor: "How do you know? Youre lucky you werent eaten!"
RufusSafer: "lucky?"
EeoRaptor: "yes.. it could have eaten you...
RufusSafer: "No.. it wouldn't have eaten me..."
EeoRaptor: How do you know?
RufusSafer: "I'm sure of it."
EeoRaptor: Allen sighs "Celena... Im going to have to send you away until this dragon is dealt with..
RufusSafer: "Send me away??!"
EeoRaptor: "for your own safety.."
RufusSafer: She frowned. "I'm already safe..."
EeoRaptor: "celena........" allen sighs
EeoRaptor: "Its a monster... not a pet.."
RufusSafer: "It's not a monster!"
EeoRaptor: "Celena! thats enough... pack some things... i wont have my sister being eaten by a dragon..."
RufusSafer: "No!"
EeoRaptor: "Celena..."
RufusSafer: She frowned heavily at him and stood up.
EeoRaptor: "Please.. I dont want to lose you again........ "
RufusSafer: "then don't send me away."
RufusSafer: there was a slight flickering in her eyes.
EeoRaptor: "dont go near that creature Celena..."
RufusSafer: "why?"
EeoRaptor: "it is dangerous"
RufusSafer: "No it's not Allen! It's a good dragon."
EeoRaptor: "Celena.. there is no such thing as a good dragon!!"
RufusSafer: She frowned again at him. "you're wrong.." And went to her room.
EeoRaptor: Allen sighs.... deciding he has to get a party together to deal with the beast before she gets hurt
RufusSafer: after a minute he heard the front door slam as she left
EeoRaptor: He jumps up "Celena!!"
RufusSafer: She ran.. ran from the house... down throuigh town.
EeoRaptor: Allen tries to give chase but she is too fast
RufusSafer: Runing through town, past those that know her.
EeoRaptor: Allen has to stop in the town.. panting
RufusSafer: She ran right past the gaurds at the front gate
EeoRaptor: Allen is way behind.... crying for her to stop
RufusSafer: she vanished into the woods and the guards looked to allen when he had to stop there. "Allen? why is Celena running?"
EeoRaptor: "She's... going... to ... the ........ dragon" Allen pants
RufusSafer: "What??"
EeoRaptor: "We have to get.. a band together... now before she gets hurt!
RufusSafer: They nod and run off to get the men, none of them wanting to loose Celena. They all liked Celena.. hell.. som of them men really wanted to court her but didn't want to envoke Allen's wrath.
EeoRaptor: Allen was genuinely worried about his s ister... his experiences with dragons in the past had taught him they werent to be played with.
RufusSafer: Celena cried softly as she got up to the pool.
EeoRaptor: The dragon woke up at her approach... rumbling
RufusSafer: She sat down by a tree, crying into her hands.
EeoRaptor: The dragon gets up and ambles over to her
RufusSafer: She sniffled, turning his eyes to look at it.
EeoRaptor: It flopped down next to her and put its head in her lap
RufusSafer: She smiled a bit. "Oh draggy.. they want to kill you."
EeoRaptor: It rumbled and nosed at her... wanting to be petted or something
RufusSafer: She reached out and stroked it's nose. "You're so nice.. why would they want to hurt you?"
EeoRaptor: It closed its eyes... and sighed contently
RufusSafer: "I like you draggy."
EeoRaptor: It licked her again... with its big rough tongue
RufusSafer: She laughed, the tears going away.
RufusSafer: "that feels nice."
EeoRaptor: It yawned... big and wide.. such sharp teeth it had
RufusSafer: She smiled, keeping her arms back,
EeoRaptor: It seemed like such a lazy dragon.... whenever she saw it it was sleeping
RufusSafer: She liked that and wrapped her arms around the snout, deciding to sleep as well.
RufusSafer: "I'll keep you safe draggy..."
EeoRaptor: That was how the party found her... asleep with the dragon's head in her lap
RufusSafer: The men gasped, looking at the scene.
EeoRaptor: Allen frowns , wondering what to do
RufusSafer: his sister seemed to love the dragon or something.. her arms around it's snout.
EeoRaptor: Allen sighs.... its a dangerous thing.. and he cant let her get hurt
RufusSafer: She was fast asleep.. he'd have to get to her first
EeoRaptor: Allen sneaks up to her and pokes her genty
RufusSafer: She clutched the dragon tightly as she opened her eyes.
EeoRaptor: "Celena... please...
RufusSafer: "Allen..." She frowned at him
EeoRaptor: "celena.. its dangerous... why wont you listen..?"
RufusSafer: "No! the draggy is nice..."
EeoRaptor: Allen sighs 'please dont make me drag you away from here.."
RufusSafer: She climbed up on the dragon's head.
EeoRaptor: It woke up slightly... shifting and unfurling its wings
RufusSafer: "They've come to hurt you draggy.. let's get going."
EeoRaptor: It growled... noting Allen and the other armed men... and clambored to its feet
RufusSafer: She clung to it's neck. "Please do not hurt them draggy..."
EeoRaptor: It growled again... shifting on its feet from side to side...
RufusSafer: "Can you fly?" She asked it
EeoRaptor: As if in answer it spread its wings and leapt skyward.... listing a little but managing to get airborne
RufusSafer: She clung tightly but not so tight as to hurt it.
EeoRaptor: it flapped higher... heading for its home now that its healed... and carrying Celena with it..
"Celena!!" Allen shouts... his sister has really lost it
RufusSafer: The men around Allen colapsed to their knees. "COME BACK!"
EeoRaptor: Allen hangs his head... "Men.. we have to go after it.. "
RufusSafer: "How sir?
EeoRaptor: "I... dont k now.." Allen says... sounding lost.. "
RufusSafer: They sniffled. "Why'd she go off with the dragon?" one asked.
EeoRaptor: "My sister.. has problems.. she cant see the truth..." Allen says "Its going to eat her..."
RufusSafer: "AH!! WE have to kill it then! We'll be lost without your sister."
EeoRaptor: Allen nods "we have to follow it... quickly..
RufusSafer: "What do we need?"
EeoRaptor: "Those guymelefs we refitted with levistones.."
RufusSafer: "Right! let's go!"
EeoRaptor: Allen lead the way in the rush to get to the stored melefs
RufusSafer: They all hopped in wanting to get to Celena.
EeoRaptor: "Lets go!" Allen shouts.. starting his melef and heading in the direction the dragon went
RufusSafer: Celena clung to the dragon as they landed, sniffling.
EeoRaptor: It bounced to a stop and plopped down
RufusSafer: "Why do they want to hurt you so bad draggy?"
EeoRaptor: It began to amble along... nosing about in crevaces as it moved
RufusSafer: "I don't want them to hurt you."
EeoRaptor: It gave a sigh and spun around in a circle to plop down
RufusSafer: She curled up on him.
EeoRaptor: It sighed and began basking in the sun
RufusSafer: "I want to protect you from harm but I don't know how."
EeoRaptor: It was asleep again... content with being home
RufusSafer: and it as warm, she smiled and fell back asleep in its wings.
EeoRaptor: It snored softly.. but soon the sound of melefs could be heard approaching
RufusSafer: Celena woke up upon hearing them and looked up into the sky, something filling her with dread and a strange memory,.
EeoRaptor: That memory of flying again
RufusSafer: and of the guymelefs... she felt her heart beat faster and a pain shoot through her body.
EeoRaptor: What was wrong with her?
RufusSafer: She didn't know... her mind clouded over with rage... her eyes turning red
EeoRaptor: Before she knew it.. she was locked away again... Dilandau was in control
RufusSafer: He whistled for his guymelef, hearing the others coming, and jumped into it.. laughing... "Ooohhh.. a fight heading my way??"
EeoRaptor: The dragon wakes up.... fluttering in confusion
RufusSafer: The guymelef turned invisible.. waiting for the ones headed this way.
EeoRaptor: The dragon roars... feeling the rage of the one that it cant see anymore
RufusSafer: but that's what the others saw when they got near. "Where's Celena??" One cried, seeing the raging dragon.
EeoRaptor: Allen gags.. thinking it ate his sister "kill it... !!"
RufusSafer: One swooped down for the attack, but blew up when something speared it through.. a set of liquid metal claws.
EeoRaptor: Allen blinks
RufusSafer: There was a laughder echoing... a very disturbing laugh.. and something shimering as the claws retracted.
EeoRaptor: "Dilendau..." Allen whispers...
RufusSafer: "AH! zaibach guymelef!" one of the guys shouted.
EeoRaptor: "Stand back.." Allen shouts to his men
RufusSafer: They did as told. "What's going on Allen?"
EeoRaptor: "Its... dilendau... very dangerous"
RufusSafer: "Oh gods.. him!!?? I thought he died or something!!" None of them but Allen, Van, and a few VERY special people knew the truth.
EeoRaptor: "Go back to town... I will take care of this myself"
RufusSafer: "But sir! We can't leave you to face that maniac and a man-eating-dragon by yourself!"
EeoRaptor: "Dont worry about me.. I have dealt with Dilendau in the past."
RufusSafer: "But... sir...."
EeoRaptor: "Go..."
RufusSafer: They flew off.
EeoRaptor: Allen lands his melef and gets out.... far enough from the dragon to be safe
RufusSafer: There was a laugh and the red guymelef came out of it's cloak. "Alleeennnn.... why do you keep haunting me?"
EeoRaptor: "Give my sister back..."
RufusSafer: "Your sister? I don't see any girls here."
EeoRaptor: Allen sighs "Youre going to kill me I suppose?"
RufusSafer: "Hmph... what are you doing here anyway?"
EeoRaptor: "Chasing down a dragon.."
RufusSafer: "Dragon? Where? I havn't hunted any in a while..."
EeoRaptor: "Over there.." allen says... waving his arm
RufusSafer: The dragon slayer turned, not paying attention to allen
EeoRaptor: The dragon is looking around confusedly... making small sounds
RufusSafer: "Draggonnn..." Dilandau laughed... heading towards it.
EeoRaptor: Allen watches.... deciding to let Dilendau solve his dragon problem
EeoRaptor: The dragon swivles its head towards dilendau and makes a small chirping sound
RufusSafer: but... Celena... she seemed quite attached to that dragon
RufusSafer: "Get ready for the end dragon..." The dragon slayer purred, closing in on it
EeoRaptor: The dragon honked and spread its wings
"Dilendau.... stop..." allen shouts
RufusSafer: "Go away Allen... or I will kill you..."
EeoRaptor: "You cant kill it.... Celena.. "
RufusSafer: "Celena?"
EeoRaptor: "I .. dont kill it.."
RufusSafer: "Why not?"
EeoRaptor: "I said not to.. damnit.. fight me instead"
RufusSafer: "then get in your melef..."
EeoRaptor: Allen nods ... and climbs inside... he figures he might as well die if Celena is gone again
RufusSafer: The red melef turned away from the dragon and vanished inside the cloak.
EeoRaptor: Allen draws his sword...waiting.. knowing that this will not end in his favor
RufusSafer: A group of claws came out from the invisble thing, streaking out at Allen.
EeoRaptor: Allen blocks them with his sword... barely in time
RufusSafer: "Mwaaa haaa haa!! I havn't had this much fun in a long time!"
EeoRaptor: Allen wishes the stupid dragon would just run away instead of just sitting there
RufusSafer: The melef uncloaked and charged at him.
EeoRaptor: Allen dodges and tries to grapple with it.. not wanting him to cloak again
RufusSafer: "Mmm... time to have some fun Allen..." The liquid metal claws wrapped around him.
EeoRaptor: Allen grits his teeth...... its prettymuch over for him......
RufusSafer: unless he could get Celena back
EeoRaptor: "celena..." he whimpers... alarms wailing in his melef as the liquid metal pierces it
RufusSafer: "Grrr... why do you keep saying that name??!!!"
EeoRaptor: "My sister... give her back... even if you have to take my life... give her back"
RufusSafer: "Your.. sister?"
EeoRaptor: "Yes... you... are my sister...'
RufusSafer: "Sister..." The red melef paused in it's attempted destruction.
EeoRaptor: "Celena... please... I wont hurt the dragon... just come back"
RufusSafer: "Sister...." HE yelped and the cockpit opened... spilling out the controller.
EeoRaptor: Allen climbs out of his melef and goes over to Dilendau
RufusSafer: he.. no.. she.. smashed into the ground
EeoRaptor: Allen picks her up and cradles her "Lets go home Celena.."
RufusSafer: She was out cold.
EeoRaptor: He kisses her forhead and climbs back into his melef with her
RufusSafer: she was hurt... she had hit the ground pretty hard
EeoRaptor: Allen takes her home... whimpering... what has he done to his sister?
RufusSafer: It was his fault that she went off with the dragon
RufusSafer: Celena was out cold on the bed, she was alive but perhaps had gotten injured in that fall... some blood was in her hair*
EeoRaptor: Allen carefully tends to her.. cursing himself....
RufusSafer: She might have a concusion what with the blood coming from the back of her head
EeoRaptor: Allen frowns and carefully wraps her head... not sure what else he can do for her... he should find a healer
RufusSafer: There came a knock at the door to his home.
EeoRaptor: Allen tucks her in and goes to answer the door
RufusSafer: One of his men was there. "Allen? What happend?"
EeoRaptor: "Nothing... I drove Dilendau off and found Celena.. but... she's hurt"
RufusSafer: "Celena? Oh thank the gods she's alive.. what happend?"
EeoRaptor: "She fell... and hurt her head.. she's bleeding... I... need to find a healer"
RufusSafer: "right away sir!!" the man rushed off.
EeoRaptor: Allen goes back to he side... worried
RufusSafer: She was still passed out when the healer got there.
EeoRaptor: Allen was sniffling over the unconcious girl... she wouldnt wake up
RufusSafer: The healer set his stuff down and looked at her. "How was she injured?"
EeoRaptor: She fell and hit her head.. in the mountains
RufusSafer: "She goes up there at times?" He opens his bag and gets out a few strange instraments.
EeoRaptor: “She followed a dragon...”
RufusSafer: He was taken back by that. "A dragon? Goodness me..."
EeoRaptor: "yes... she was trying to make friends with it..."
RufusSafer: "She hasn't changed has she?" He startes to wrap her head with fresh bandages.
EeoRaptor: "No. she is too innocent for her own good.."
RufusSafer: "Eleven years ago I, like many others, figured that's why she had vanished.. she had followed the wrong creature and gotten.. eaten.." He frowned.
EeoRaptor: "Yes.. im afraid I'll lose her to something like that.. I... Im thinking of sending her away to someplace.... where they can watch her at all times.."
RufusSafer: "What sort of place?" The healer turned to him, mixing something in a bowl.
EeoRaptor: "One of those... asylums.."
RufusSafer: "You're serious about that Allen?" The healer sighed. "The life in this town would shrivel up again just like it did 11 years ago..."
EeoRaptor: "I .. I'll have to quit as a knight then... I . cant leave her alone anymore... especially if she's going to be following dragons.."
RufusSafer: The healer sighed. "She'll be fine Allen..."
EeoRaptor: Allen nods "I'd.. die if I lost her.... "
RufusSafer: "So would many others.. so many in this town care about her.. not just you Allen.. remember that."
EeoRaptor: "I know... its my duty to keep her safe..."
RufusSafer: "Yes... then keep her safe."
EeoRaptor: Allen nods "will she... heal then?
RufusSafer: "Yes, she'll be ok Allen." He pours the contense of the bowl into the girl's mouth. She moves just a bit, making a face in her sleep as she swallows.
EeoRaptor: Allen sighs in relief and picks up her hand to squeeze it gently
RufusSafer: a slight smile comes to her face as she sleeps.
EeoRaptor: "She means the world to me.. and possibly more.. Thank you for your help"
RufusSafer: "Any time Allen." The healer packed up his stuff and smiled, leaving.
EeoRaptor: Allen sighs and sits in the armchair he pulled over to beside Celena's bed....... thinking of how lonely his life would be without her
RufusSafer: without her smile... without her cheerfulnes
EeoRaptor: He wonders if he shouldnt rely on her so much. perhaps he should find love of his own.. she wasnt going to be there forever. there were plenty of young men in the village.... that looked at her *that way*
RufusSafer: Many of them wanted to make her their wife but were afraid to approuch Allen about courting her
EeoRaptor: And he knew it.... if one day one was brave enough to come forward... he would let them...
RufusSafer: It was an hour before her eyes fluttered. "Allen..."
EeoRaptor: "Celena... are you alright?"
RufusSafer: "My head hurts.. wha.. what happend?"
EeoRaptor: "You fell up in the mountains"
RufusSafer: "I last remember the dragon and.. and a strange noise..."
EeoRaptor: "Its alright.. you’re safe now.."
RufusSafer: She sat up slowly, grunting in pain. "I have dinner to make..."
EeoRaptor: "no no... lay down... youre head is hurt.. I can cook for tonight"
RufusSafer: "Don't be silly... "she swung her legs over the bed and tried to stand.
EeoRaptor: Allen pushes her back down gently... "Youre going to make yourself worse"
RufusSafer: she frowned up at him. "Brother... I can take care of myself..."
EeoRaptor: "celena.. you are hurt and must rest.."
RufusSafer: She frowned some more. "But I don't like resting..."
EeoRaptor: "Just for today... please?"
RufusSafer: "fine.. one day." she went back to sleep.
EeoRaptor: Allen pats her and goes to make dinner
RufusSafer: The next day she managed to get up at her normal time and leave before he woke... ready to make her rounds through town.
EeoRaptor: Allen sighs at her determination..
EeoRaptor: "If only I were that determined with him........"
RufusSafer: She walked down the street holding flowers
RufusSafer: Her head was still bandaged though, but she smiled at the people she passed.
EeoRaptor: The men in town were happy to see her back on her feet... but concerned
RufusSafer: She went up to a group of men, oddly the same ones that were in Allen's group the other day, and held out her flowers.
EeoRaptor: "T. thank you Celena' They say....taking them not wanting to mention that they can put them on the dead squad member's grave
RufusSafer: She frowns, noticing their sandess and goes to the one that had nearly been clipped the other day. "what's wrong?"
EeoRaptor: "Oh... one of our squad.. died.."
RufusSafer: She frowned. "Oh, I'm so sorry.. what happend?"
EeoRaptor: "We ran into the rebel dilendau when we were chasing that dragon off... I thought he had died in the war... but... he killed.."
RufusSafer: "Dilandau?" Her face went pale all of a sudden.
EeoRaptor: "yes... are ... you alright?"
RufusSafer: She sniffled, a tear coming to her eyes as she looks down at the ground.
EeoRaptor: "Celena?"
RufusSafer: "I'm.. sorry..." She whispered.
EeoRaptor: "sorry?"
RufusSafer: She shook her head, strange images flowing into her head as she looked up. "I'm sorry he's dead."
EeoRaptor: "we're all gonna miss him.... why dont you run along now... you look pale..."
RufusSafer: "I'll.. I'll be ok.. is there anything I can do?"
EeoRaptor: "Bring more flowers for the monument"
RufusSafer: "I will..." She headed back home to get them, and a few more things.
EeoRaptor: Allen is at home looking depressed.... he doesnt want to go out at all...
RufusSafer: she gathers some flowers and then heads to her room, remembering something*
EeoRaptor: Allen stalks up behind her ...
RufusSafer: She was rumaging in her closet, going all the way back... to where she had IT stored.
EeoRaptor: Allen waits for her to finish whatever she's doing
RufusSafer: She brushed her hand over it.. Dilandau's uniform.. memories she'd had burried flooding into her head.. bringing tears to her eyes. she didn't even relize her brother was behind her.
EeoRaptor: Allen frowns... seeing what she's found "C... celena."
RufusSafer: She gasps, dropping her flowers, and turns her head to look at her brother.
EeoRaptor: "Im.. sorry... to interrupt you... I was going to ask if you would be alright for a few days while I took a trip to Fanelia.... but....... I dont know about that now”
RufusSafer: "Brother..." she frowned.
EeoRaptor: "I... wondered how long it would take you to realize.."
RufusSafer: She turned back to what she had been looking at, picking up the tiara. "Realize what?"
EeoRaptor: "Who you share your... past with..."
RufusSafer: "I try not to think about it." she rose to her feet, gathering up her flowers.
EeoRaptor: "are you alright?"
RufusSafer: "YEs... go on brother.. go visit fanelia..." She walked by him, shutting her closet door.
EeoRaptor: "are you sure?"
RufusSafer: "yes..." She said quietly, fingering the tiara and heading out of the house.
EeoRaptor: Allen frowns... not wanting to leave now.... she's being so curt with him.... as if she's angry for him wanting the best for her...
RufusSafer: But it wasn't that.. she was angry at herself for things she didn't remember...
EeoRaptor: Allen packs and heads out for fanelia.. not wanting his sister to think he's trying to baby her
RufusSafer: She headed back to the men, holding the tiara, something that any of them who had seen dilandau in person, would remember...
EeoRaptor: They look at her as she approaches
RufusSafer: She held the tiara to her side, the flowers in her other hand.
EeoRaptor: "Celena?"
RufusSafer: She sighed, not sure what to say as she held out the flowers.
EeoRaptor: 'thank you.... whats that other ... thing?"
RufusSafer: She held it up, the jewel facing out.
EeoRaptor: "W...w here did you.... get that?"
RufusSafer: She looked down, not sure what to say as she sat down.
EeoRaptor: "celena?"
RufusSafer: she sniffled. "I was wearing it when I woke up a year ago.." She whispered.
EeoRaptor: "Y... you.... ?"
RufusSafer: she set it down, tears coming to her eyes as she covered her face.
EeoRaptor: The men look at each other....... Celena...... is dilendau?"
RufusSafer: it was unspoken but they all knew whateachother was thinking
EeoRaptor: Nobody was sure what to do...
RufusSafer: And she was crying,. remebering what she did
EeoRaptor: "Where is allen?"
RufusSafer: "A-away.." She managed to say.
EeoRaptor: "Celena... I want you to go home... and stay there until he comes home.... I dont want anyone doing something stupid to you..."
RufusSafer: "He's not coming back for a while..."
EeoRaptor: They frown "Alrigh... just... dont let any of the townsfolk know about this... "
RufusSafer: she lifted her hands from her eyes, looking up at them, wondering why they were being nice at all to her.
RufusSafer: "You want me to go?" she asks slowly.
EeoRaptor: "Celena.. if you really are dilendau... you didnt do those things because you wanted to.."
RufusSafer: she nodded slowly. "I have.. nightmares.. about it..."
EeoRaptor: "we both love and respect you and allen... understand.. just... the townsfolk might not be as forgiving... we've seen war and know that people dont necessarily do what they want...."
RufusSafer: She stands up and nods, wiping the tears from her eyes.
EeoRaptor: "You want me to send someone to stay with you while Allen is gone?"
RufusSafer: "No... I really don't want to go home."
EeoRaptor: "Where are you going then?"
RufusSafer: "To find the dragon."
EeoRaptor: "Th... dragon??? Why??"
RufusSafer: "Because I must have scared it."
EeoRaptor: "Well.. I... dont know if you should go.... but youre going to anyway..... arent you?"
RufusSafer: "Yes... I need to find it."
EeoRaptor: "alright... please... be safe..."
RufusSafer: "I will... I promise." she tucked the tiara away and turned to head out of town.
EeoRaptor: They watch her go... wondering what to say to Allen
RufusSafer: Did allen know the truth all this time? is that why he told them to go?
EeoRaptor: He probably did... but didnt want her hurt... or then for that matter
RufusSafer: So the momment he knew he got them to leave
EeoRaptor: They were lucky to have only lost one squad member
RufusSafer: But why had she turned into dilandau anyway?
EeoRaptor: That was a mystery they'd have to ask Allen when he returned from whatever business he had in Fanelia
RufusSafer: Celena headed up to the mountian, carefully walking because she was still a little dizzy.
EeoRaptor: The dragon was near where she left it... sleeping again
RufusSafer: she smiled and walked over to it. "Draggy.. you're ok..."
EeoRaptor: It woke up and rolled onto its back
RufusSafer: She smiled, climbing up onto the beast's belly
EeoRaptor: Its scales were smooth and soft... cloudy grey in colour
RufusSafer: she smiled, not noticing the tiara fall from her waist band
EeoRaptor: It seemed... hapyp it its own way... to see her
RufusSafer: "How are you draggy? Your wing healing?"
EeoRaptor: It fluted softly... that tune she was always humming
RufusSafer: She smiled, humming back with it. "You know the song too?"
EeoRaptor: It wags its tail slowly
RufusSafer: She hummed in tune with it, her eyes closed and her head swaying back and forth.
EeoRaptor: the dragon joined in with her... embelleshing it slightly
RufusSafer: She laughed when they were finished. "That tune.. I wonder where I heard it..."
EeoRaptor: It rumbles... probably not remembering either
RufusSafer: She lay her head against his stomach. "I'll take a nap."
RufusSafer: She dreamed as she fell asleep.
EeoRaptor: Dreamed of things she didnt remember....... until now
RufusSafer: Dreaming back when she was... dilandau...
EeoRaptor: But... this was a different Dilendau from the one everyone knew...
RufusSafer: The boy who walked through the corriders at night when he had to send all his dragon slayers out on patrol because of the new stragious
EeoRaptor: How lonely it was for him... until he found someone to spend those nights with...
RufusSafer: As he was passing the garden he heard someone humming... that was odd... no one usally hummed before.. or even went into HIS garden...
EeoRaptor: Folken.... was there... but in a way he'd never seen..... he was quiet obviously preening the large wings that sprouted from between his shoulder blades
RufusSafer: The boy stopped and raised his eyesrows, eyes widding in amasment. "He's an ancient..." He thought, sneaking in to get a better look.
EeoRaptor: Folken was obviously quite intent on his duty... sitting by the small pool the garden held
RufusSafer: He would have stayed quiet but Dilandau accently dripped on something and fell face first into the water. "AH!H!":
EeoRaptor: Folken jumps.... trying to hide his wings
RufusSafer: The boy was soaked now, gurgling.
EeoRaptor: Folken notes who it is and moves to fish him out of the water
RufusSafer: "Arg! I'm all wet!" He complains.
EeoRaptor: "Well you shouldnt be snooping around..."
RufusSafer: "you're in my garden..."
EeoRaptor: "I.. needed a place with running water and enough space to do this..."
RufusSafer: "No wonder you're in charge.. you're an ancient."
EeoRaptor: "Yes... unfortunately.."
RufusSafer: The boy tried to dry himself off.
EeoRaptor: "Well... now that you know" folken says.. picking up what looks to be a pair of scissors and brandishing it
RufusSafer: The boy backed up a little, nearly loosing his footing on the edge of the pool, but getting a defiant look on his face.
EeoRaptor: Folken smirks and gives the scissors to him... which turn out to be more like calipers "Youre going to help get out an impacted feather thats been bothering me...
RufusSafer: "Oh?" He takes them and steps toward Folken. "You want me to help you now?"
EeoRaptor: "Yes... as long as you are here... you might as well
RufusSafer: "Fine then." He got to work, searching for the impacted feather.
EeoRaptor: Folken shivers a little as his wings are touched... they're very sensitive for him
RufusSafer: Dilandau grinned at the reaction, inentionally running a finger down the bridge as he searched.
EeoRaptor: Folken shudders... this time more. with a small helpless sound
RufusSafer: "Mmm... that's a sound I long to hear since you sent all my boys out on patrol."
EeoRaptor: "Be.. have back there.. "
RufusSafer: "Must I?" He found the feather and pulled on it.
EeoRaptor: Folken grits his teeth "Its not nice to ... torment your superiors"
RufusSafer: "Torment in what way?"
EeoRaptor: "Sexually... now... pull it out please"
RufusSafer: Dilandau grinned, pacing his hand firmly on the wing bridge as he pulls on the feather.
EeoRaptor: Folken leans back against the had slightly...... gritting his teeth
RufusSafer: The feather came out and Dil still didn't let go of his wing.
EeoRaptor: Folken relaxed a little
RufusSafer: "You're so warm... Folken-sama..." Dil whispered.
EeoRaptor: "Dilendau.. what are you up to?"
RufusSafer: "I'm lonely... I can't sleep in an empty bed..."
EeoRaptor: "Are you suggesting?"
RufusSafer: "Yessss.... either that or I don't sleep.. and you really don't want me all tired do you?"
EeoRaptor: "Dilendau that is quite inappropriate
RufusSafer: "What is?"
EeoRaptor: "Asking me to sleep with you..."
RufusSafer: "why is it?"
EeoRaptor: "I..."
RufusSafer: "I sleep with my boys..."
EeoRaptor: "Im not one of your boys...
RufusSafer: "Please?" He slid up behind Folken, rubbing the wing.
EeoRaptor: Folken closes his eyes.. "s... stop " he moans softly
RufusSafer: "why? You like it."
EeoRaptor: "...."
RufusSafer: Dil leaned down and licked the back of Folken's ear.
EeoRaptor: "Youre... overstepping..'
RufusSafer: "what will you do to me?"
EeoRaptor: "..."
RufusSafer: "Wil you punsih me?" Dil kiss the ear, moving up his other hand to stroke the other wing.
EeoRaptor: "dilendau...”
RufusSafer: "Yes Folken-sama?"
EeoRaptor: ".... this is going too far"
RufusSafer: The boy frowned, dropping his hands. "But I can't take sleeping alone..."
EeoRaptor: "I'll sleep with you..."
RufusSafer: "Thank you.." the boy pressed his face against Folken's back, between the wings.
EeoRaptor: "I dont know why Im letting you... perhaps... because I pity you... perhaps...... I am lonely myself"
RufusSafer: "pitty? Why pitty?"
EeoRaptor: "I know you dont like being alone
RufusSafer: "I hate it. I hate being alone."
EeoRaptor: "I wont leave you alone then... not tonight"
RufusSafer: "Thank you." Dilandau lightly kissed the middle of his back,.
EeoRaptor: "Perhaps... we should take this elsewhere...
RufusSafer: "yes, your room?"
EeoRaptor: Folken nods... folding his wings and putting on his cape
RufusSafer: Dilandau stood up, wanting baddly to get out of the wet clothing.
EeoRaptor: Folken starts to head for his room.
RufusSafer: The boy walked right in behind him. he really did look too young to be wanting sex, only about 14.
EeoRaptor: Folken opens the door and ushers the boy in
RufusSafer: "Wow... your room is nicer then mine."
EeoRaptor: Well.. I am higher ranked than you
RufusSafer: "Hmph, I see rank pays off..." He goes over to the bowl of fruit Folken has sitting on a table and picks a grape up from it.
EeoRaptor: "Why dont you take those wet clothes off " Folken says...
RufusSafer: "Love to." He pops the grape into his mouth before stripping completely before Folken.
EeoRaptor: Folken looks him over with a critical eye
RufusSafer: The boy was.. beautiful.... but still young
EeoRaptor: Folken moves over and caresses Dilendau's cheek
RufusSafer: The boy leaned his cheek into
RufusSafer: folken's hand.. warm and strangely soft as he smiles just a little.
EeoRaptor: Folken rubs his thumb along Dil's cheek and kisses him
RufusSafer: The boy closed his eyes, pressing his mouth to Folken.
EeoRaptor: Folken explored the boy's mouth... a bit guilitily
RufusSafer: The suculent 14 year old's mouth. the boy pulled his arms around folken's waist, letting the tongue explore as much as it wanted as he worked on the pantas.
EeoRaptor: Folken continues the kiss.. his hands moving down the oh so smooth flesh... knowing that this boy is... special
RufusSafer: Very special... probably he didn't even know it...
EeoRaptor: He was delicious
RufusSafer: And his meer touch as he got Folken's pants down was enough to set people going.
EeoRaptor: Just.. his playing with his wings... had..
RufusSafer: "You should lay down.." Dilandau whispered.
EeoRaptor: "yes... I suppose I should"
RufusSafer: Dil pulled at Folken's shirt and cloak as they headed for the bed.
EeoRaptor: Folken unfolds his wings again.. as he sprawls out onto the bed
RufusSafer: Dil climbed over top of him, kissing his chest lightly.
EeoRaptor: Folken wriggles a little
RufusSafer: Dilandau moved down and wrapped his fingers around Folken's hardness.
EeoRaptor: Folken moans.. arching his back slightly at the touch
RufusSafer: "You're bigger then my dragon slayers Folken-sama..."
EeoRaptor: "Im a little older than them... and you too..."
RufusSafer: "Yes.. that you are..." The boy rolled onto his back next to Folken.
EeoRaptor: "Does it bother you?" Folken asks... moving over him to nuzzle at his neck
RufusSafer: "Not at all..." The boy grinned, looking up into his eyes, sliding his legs appart.
EeoRaptor: Folken kisses his neck... biting it ever so softly... and rubbing himself against the boy
RufusSafer: The boy's eyes closed as he purred softly, feeling Folken tight against his petite body.
EeoRaptor: "My only worry is that I will hurt you" folken whispers... knowing that even if dilendau told him not to... he would still... fuck him"
RufusSafer: "Shh... don't worry..." the boy purred, licking his cheek softly.
RufusSafer: The boy seemed eager for having Folken inside of him
EeoRaptor: Folken presses into Dilendau... needing to sate himself
RufusSafer: Sate himself with the very tight and hot body that let out soft sounds of bopth pleasure and pain under him.
EeoRaptor: Folken began to thrust slowly.. kissing the boy passionately
RufusSafer: The boy whimpered just a bit, openign his mouth to recive the kisses.
EeoRaptor: Dilendau both tasted and felt good
RufusSafer: The perfect little sex toy
RufusSafer: "Folken.." the boy moaned.
EeoRaptor: Folken picks up his pace... groaning softly.. his cock probing deeper with each thrust
RufusSafer: "Ah!" The boy nearly screamed each time it weant deaper, but seemed to be enjoying it..
EeoRaptor: Folken growls and bites down on his neck with a final thrust... bursting into the boy
RufusSafer: The boy winced as his neck was bitten down on, unab le to control himself coating Folken.
EeoRaptor: Folken licks the boy's neck gently.. collapsing onto him
RufusSafer: Dilandau let out a heavey sigh. "Folken-sama..."
EeoRaptor: "Youre quite good"
RufusSafer: "Never had it that good before.." He panted, eyes only open a slit.
EeoRaptor: "Never?"
RufusSafer: "No one has fucked me that good... mmmm...."
EeoRaptor: "Oh... that was my first time with a man.."
RufusSafer: "REally?"
EeoRaptor: Ive been with many women...
RufusSafer: Dilandau grinned, then sunddely frowned as the memories he usally had bottled up so he cvouldn't remember breifly flashed through his head. He frowned, a sad look crossing his eyes.
EeoRaptor: Folken cuddled him
RufusSafer: "I think.. i was a girl.. once..." He put a hand to his head.
EeoRaptor: "I figured that.. you smell like one" Folken murrs
RufusSafer: "I what?"
EeoRaptor: "Smell like a woman" Folken says... nuzzling
RufusSafer: "You can.. smell me?"
EeoRaptor: "Yes.. draconian blood"
RufusSafer: "What else can you tell about me?"
EeoRaptor: "youre older than you should be..."
RufusSafer: "Older?"
EeoRaptor: "Yes.. you look about 17.. youre.. probably only 13 or 14
RufusSafer: "14..."
EeoRaptor: Folken nods
RufusSafer: He closes his eyes. "I need to forget again."
EeoRaptor: Folken kissed his neck "sleep"
RufusSafer: "help me forget?"
EeoRaptor: 'How would you like me to do that?"
RufusSafer: "Anyway you can"
EeoRaptor: Folken starts humming... an old fanelian tune.. nuzzling Dil's ear
RufusSafer: The boy sighes in contentment. "Thank you."
EeoRaptor: "welcome" folken purrs.... still humming softly... cuddling dilendau to himself
RufusSafer: All this Celena remembered.
EeoRaptor: how much... that man had loved him... even though he never could say it
RufusSafer: Celena smiled on her sleep, the warmth sinking into the also warm dragon under her.
EeoRaptor: Thier dreams were being shared
RufusSafer: She opened her eyes a little, looking at the sleeping dragon.
EeoRaptor: It was snoring quite loudly
RufusSafer: She smiled at it, resting her hand on the chest.
EeoRaptor: It made her oddly happy
RufusSafer: The chest was warm.. very warm.. and radiating with something that made her smile more.
EeoRaptor: It was love... of his soul.. but she didnt understand that.
