The Arrival........

[raven]

MEANWHILE.......LOL.....

After recent events concerning Raven,Shadow and the dragon elders spent a week in council debating on how to best handle them before they really screwed up ..deep within the great halls under the mountains of their home the elders sat awaiting for one to arrive. At the appointed time a young dragon entered the chambers an bowed to all in respect .He was a bronze who had spent his life in solitude within the cosmos itself. When he received word from the elders to attend them he did have to wonder if they were still miffed about the whole misplacing of a few universe's but it had been solong ago surely they were over that. He lowered himself folding his wings back as the elders watched him . He had the oddest feeling this was not going to bold well for him.
The head elder poured a mug of nan's shine taking a sip before she spoke.' welcome home it has been too long. We have ...issue's that need to be handled so too speak and we have elected you to send you . ' The elder rose and approached the young dragon and placed orb before him. " first you will have to see what and with whom those are you will be dealing with .' A eye ridge went up slowly ..yea he was not liking where this was going. He gazed into the globe and watched events unfold...He was watching odd lil creatures who would be known to him later as humans in the house of lords...now as a bronze he was a dragon of order...an as he watched all the chaos unfold before him it made his left eye twitch.....he had never met one of these things before .Raven and shadow he had heard of but never met ...and everyone spoke highly of Nan. When he was done he looked up at the elders more confused than ever .
What is it you would have me do? do you wish me to kill these lil 2 legged pink things? ' The elders shook with a bit of laughter which only confused him more ." No young one ...we do not wish them killed but order needs to be restored to that place...your kin have been a bit heavy handed with their magic an the time has come to correct that.' She pointed to a pile of scrolls on a nearby table. " all you need to know is written there ...when you are ready we will be sending you to this place to carry out your orders...and you will need to take on a human form to blend in with them .'
Now the young dragon had never took on any other form and hearing this he looked at the leader elder an spoke, " am I being punished for something I am not aware of ? I know I have in the past misplaced a universe but it was so long ago I thought my punishment was over. '
The elder shook her head smiling softly.' no young one you are not being punished...we choose you for your talents in bringing order to chaos...you are not easy too sway and you follow the path when it is set before you . Since humans have trouble with dragon names you will have too choose a human one for yourself ..'
The eye started twitching again as he listened but he bowed his head in respect . " I shall do as you ask ..' he was'nt happy bout it but his respect for his elders was beyond question. with luck he would not be there long.
The elder took another sip of the shine before speaking ' once you arrive you will present yourself to the one called Inanna ..and follow the instructions written down in the blue scroll. Oh and before you go know this you will not be alone there..a old friend awaits you ' well now this bit of news confused him even more as he rose up an bowed.
I shall do my best to carry out my tasks set before me. :: a portal opened up behind him as he gathered up the scrolls thinking to himself wondering what he was getting himself into .........stepping into the portal he began his trip into the unknown......poor lil bastard ..he no idea what was waiting for him on the other side...

Bram Draklore [8:25 P.M.]: :: beforee he deparrted he took time to read over the scroll's already his head hurt....hewas not use to beingaround others and now he was being thrown in with a heard of creatures he knew nothing about, When he reached the place he had still not choosen a human form so for the moment hewas dressed in heavy robes that concelled his fetures ..walking on 2 legs was going to take some getting use too.. Just outside the house he took a deep breath as he neared the large door..as proper protical required he knocked loudly and awaited to be granted entrance . for one his age he was quite well mannered and proper ..he did take time to look around as he waited ...compared to where he spend his time this place was a bit dismal and a bit dry .-d

Inanna Hawk [8:30 P.M.]: As ever, Mustafa was there to greet this newcomer. Flanked by Gods help them all, the hatchlings..on two legs themselves armed to the teeth. With the Kabals all wishy washy, their older sister Madison on the high seas, it fell to them to help protect the castle.. that's what Kenya used to tell them all the time. Still, you wouldn't know it given Mustafa's game face, there was anything amiss with the hatchlings bearing arms. Scribbles may be the eldest, he still didn't speak, it was Mimic who held that honor in spades. With her gift, she easily masked her voice into a realistic blend of both her father's booming voice laced prettily with her mother's hiss. 'You come to the House of Lordssss...what business do you hold....friendsssss are scarce here..and I know you...not.' Havoc was next to his sister, the twisted little murderous gleam in eyes was definately Raven in a dark mood. Mustafa regarded the hooded one silently, offering no quarter as he merely nodded once.-d-

Bram Draklore [8:37 P.M.]: :: even in human form he knew his kindred for what they were and from reading the scroll's who they were ..thus he gave his deepest bow of respect as he spoke . Greetings to you young lords and ladies ..I am honored too meet you , My name is Bram I have been sent by the dragon high council of elders to address those that dwell with in this place. :: He rose back up standing straight. awaiting their reply ::-d

Inanna Hawk [8:41 P.M.]: The Hatchlings were anything but stupid. Nothing truly scared them, not their father's rumored rages, their mother's deadly games...but mention Nanny in a bad mood or the High Council of Elders..that did it for them. True Dragonkin right there. Mimic turned to the Scribbles, who looked up at Mustafa and nodded, then chirpered and chittered to his siblings. Mimic blinked a bit, then shrugged as again her voice shifted to that of Kenya's. It was the only basis she had for what Scribbles wanted. 'Ya got ID?' -

Bram Draklore [8:43 P.M.]: :: He just blinked and at a loss for word for aq moment and a confused :: what is a ID? -d

Inanna Hawk [8:46 P.M.]: Scribbles slapped a palm to his face and let it slide down, classic Raven..at his wits end, then scrawled across a parchment and held it up for the hooded one to look at. In short, the young one wanted the newcomer's credentials. Mimic chimed in again, using Madison's voice. 'You don't think we'd let you in on your own word..I've got cannonballs made of gold for you then.' -d-

Bram Draklore [8:49 P.M.]: ahh I see..well if you wish I can find a place out here in the shade and you can go speak to the elders I do not mind waiting please let them know I have arrived if it is not to much trouble. :: he gave another bow to them before he began to waqlk away looking for a nice shady spot to wait. -d

Inanna Hawk [8:55 P.M.]: Mustafa fought the smile that etched his features. Check mate. What would his little warriors do now? Mimic frowned a bit as she nodded to him. 'Very well, we shall verify it on our own.' Turning to her sister, she nodded as Cassandra closed her eyes. Bram..the name chanted in her head as the little seer worked her abilities..reaching out to the dragonkin surrounding the House of Lords. Her question was simple. ~Would the High Council of Elders send a Dragon named Bram to the Egypt?~-d-

Bram Draklore [9:00 P.M.]: :: the answer was a bit slow in coming but after talk amoung themself one did come :: Yes....:: along witht he answer there was back ground catter things like " wonder who did what that they would send Bram...and someones ass is in deep trouble....and the betting began...meanwhile Bram never one to ease drop was busy looking at the sand he had never seen any before an was quite curious about it since it was everywhere, ::-d

Inanna Hawk [9:06 P.M.]: That confirmed it and Sheldon was the one who marched towards the hooded one, bowing his shell covered head low to Bram. A series of chirps and chits, as Sheldon didn't really see a reason to speak either allowing Bram to follow them to his mother's solar where she set down a goblet and handed off a rolled scroll to a waiting Scribe. 'We have a guest...welcome...please.. ' She extended a hand to the seat across from her. 'Sssit.' Her blue eyes blazed briefly as Havoc stood at his mother's side, that one was going to be a pure sadist when he reached maturity.-d-

Bram Draklore [9:11 P.M.]: :: Bram followed a respectable distance not wishing to get run through on his first outing when he was presented to Inanna he bowed deeply too her an spoke :: Greetings to you great queen' :: from the scrolls that is what he gathered she was and as such addressed her so: My name is Bram and I have been sent by the dragon elders. :: he rose an gracefully moved to the offered seat sitting down ::-d

Inanna Hawk [9:15 P.M.]: 'I ssseeeeee.. my husband..has missed behaved...again. What is it..Egypt must pay for his...poor judgement.' Inanna asked as she titled her head to him. Reaching across the table, she poured him wine, then refilled her own goblet. 'They have..never sent an emmissary before.. I can only assume..he has trangressed greatly.' Setting the decanter down, again her eyes blazed. 'Egypt shall pay his penalty...however...I will not allow you or any other to claim him. The Dragon Lord's life..belongs to me....alone.' Beside her Havoc shifted closer to lean into his mother ever so delighted when his mother's scales began to rise.-d-

Bram Draklore [9:20 P.M.]: :: if he had his face uncovered she would have seen one huge mask of confusion on his face and it took him a moment to compose his thoughts ...this place was more disturbing than he thought .:: ah to be honest I have no idea who this egypt person is you speak off nor would they be punished for something they had no part in , I was not sent here to speak with your husband but to you and theother females of this place ..which is only proper since they are they ruling body are they not ? :: he was assuming that things here were run like they were on his world where the female elders ran the show and was assuming it was the sdame in this place.;-d

Inanna Hawk [9:22 P.M.]: Inanna frowned a bit, then sat back. Turning her attention to her son she nodded. 'Go and bring the kitchen ha....Ol Nanny to me.' She murmured before returning her attention to Bram. 'Apologies..I am used to paying for Raven's crimes against the Council..when they frown on his acts.' When the child returned, he was of a completely different nature. It had to be due to the sweet smelling treat in his hand, the other tightly wound about the older woman's as she smiled at him. Turning her attention to Inanna, the smile tightened a bit. 'You..bellowed oh wonderous one.' The foot tapping began as she shot a sharpt glance to Bram. 'Who dis here?' -d-

Bram Draklore [9:26 P.M.]: :: he nodded politely wonder what the hell her mate had done in the past to dare piss off the elders...what had he gotten himself into? :: When nan entered the room he rose an once again bowed :: Greetings to you mate of HeartsBlood from the dragons elders .I am honored too meet you as well-d

Inanna Hawk [9:28 P.M.]: Nan stopped tapping her foot at once as she stiffened. 'Lawd God A'mighty..what dey done went an' did now?' Inanna nodded reflexively to her. 'It was as I thought.. yet..he states his business is with the women of the House. I can only think he means you and I..Cassandra and Mimic are not yet of age.' -

Bram Draklore [9:32 P.M.]: :: he pondered this a moment before speaking :: umm well to be honest ..they said for now I was only to address the females of this place since they are the ruling body ..noone ever said anything about age and if I may speak freely what I am here to do will be of no harm nor distress but tis not my place to say whom can stay an whom may not...that is up too you .:: a bow given to them both ::-d

Inanna Hawk [9:35 P.M.]: Much to their dismay, the hatchling were shooed from the solar. Yet, that wouldn't stop them. Racing about, they headed outside and flew up to perch above the solar to hear what was said. Nan took a seat, as she clutched the fabric of her dress. 'Alright..now chile.. go on.. speak your peace.' Inanna blinked at Nan as she spoke so softly to Bram. The woman was a complete..marvel. -d-

Bram Draklore [9:41 P.M.]: :: he bowed :: as you wish ::: First he turned too Nan :: My first message is for you .and I quote ' Greetings to you mother we hope you are well it is our pleasure that we send you this message....we the dragon council are pleased you honored us with your visit after you left talked long into the night ,,and we are informing you that you haqve been given a seat upon the council of dragons and all honors that go with it...ps..you now outrank even raven in all dragonkin matter...we look forward to your next visit -d

Inanna Hawk [9:43 P.M.]: Inanna swore she falling dragons dropping from the skies and around the House out of the corner of her eyes. Nan blinked over and over. 'LAWD..don't dat beat all!' A soft smile grew on her face. 'jus wait until I tell Frickasee what dun happ'n now.' -d-

Bram Draklore [9:49 P.M.]: :: being a proper dragon he with held his laughter but under all the wrapping he was grinning ...He than turned to Inanna :: A message for you as well and I quote .' we are sorry Raven has been left unchecked for so long we were hoping he would ..show some sort of restraint with his magic....sometimes they forget and need a reminder their actions effect others so ...:: there was a pause as he read ahead and he had to blink a few times re reading what he was about to say ,,,under his breath he mumbled outloud " fuckberries" than continued to read the message:: as such when the sun sets on this day all of RavenHawks magic for the most will be given to you for saafe keeping to ensure his wild magic flinging habits cause your house fewer problems until such a time he can control his urge to burn your world up ...ps ..please if you would find him some counciling for his anger .-d

Inanna Hawk [9:56 P.M.]: Silence. Absolute silence as Nan blinked at Bram. Moments later, the older woman whispered the same oath and leant to look at the scrolls he was reading from. Not that she could make heads or tails of it. 'fuckberries...deys dun lost dey minds too...' -d-

Bram Draklore [10:00 P.M.]: :: he looked down the scroll too the next taask at hand as he spoke outloud :: is there one called ....<pauses a moment > Shar the wolf? :: once again not having one ..:: he slowly looked about the room than back too Inanna:;-d

Inanna Hawk [10:11 P.M.]: Inanna's eyes narrowed a bit. 'Not here...the do....' Inanna caught herself as Nan glared at her..if the woman wasn't a tad frightening before her new status..truly gave Inanna pause. She may now have Raven's power.. Nan had something so much more..coveted and precious.. the sheer love of the Dragonkin. Deep breath. 'My...sssiiss...' Pause..and repeat. No she it wasn't her hiss not in the slightest. Inanna was simply stuttering. Nan frowned. 'Spit it out..gal' Inanna closed her eyes and took a deep breath. 'My sister..is not in this land..nor even this time line. She resides in a new age..with her mate, Lord Shadow Hawk.' Nan nodded, reaching across the table to pat Inanna's thigh. 'dat's my gal..ya dun good.' -d-

Bram Draklore [10:21 P.M.]: :: he nodded too here :: very well if it is not asking too much trouble please infor her that her mate will be sharing the same fate as his brother even though he is not as bad as trying to burn the world down ...and his intent was a ...honest one....he needs to learn as thwe elders say...lighten up a bit? yes I think that is the term they used ....anyways on too the next itemon the list ....:: he looked to Inanna :: My I have permission to use just a bit of magic in your home for a moment ? -d

Inanna Hawk [10:25 P.M.]: Well there you have it. Hell had frozen over. Inanna and Nan stared at him as if he had absolutely lost his mind. In unison they both stood up at once. 'AH HELL NAW!' The thought..of Shadow's magic..in the hands of a homicidal wolf that was on the brink of a Dragon going into his own mating season. Did the Council think that one through fully. Shar could anihiliate a small country or something. Nan stared at Bram as Inanna clung to each other as the bowels of hell itself had opened before them. Inanna slowly nodded to him. 'Proceed with the Councils wishes..' -d-

Bram Draklore [10:29 P.M.]: :: he thought of this a moment before speaking :: not really sure I am undertanding much myself ...:: still though he looked at Inanna waiting for her permission to use magic. still trying to figure out why they were worried. ahead time please forgive if what I am about to do causes any ..problems ...: that being said a gateway opened up .not like the ones they used,,,this one look like a small star system ...through it he bought Kenya and her body guard ...before the gateway even closed a second spell was quickly cast putting the bear into a deep sugar coma knocking his lil ass out ,,,as for Bram he stood there eyeing Kenya a bow given too her after a moment ::-d

Inanna Hawk [10:41 P.M.]: There were days, it just sucked being a part of the House of Lords. One minute she was laying on her bed with Snarf curled up beside her, the two were eyeing the huge sapphire she'd gotten. 'What else do you think he has stored away? Do you think weeeeeeeeeee'' The last part a shriek as she was yanked back to Egypt. Once her feet were under her again and she registered where she was, she smiled at Nan...and even Inanna. 'Mama....Beloved... I didn't do it.. I swear!' Then her bear crumpled at her feet and that murderous gleam returned to eyes..as she was handed a bow. Gripping it one hand, she eyed the hooded one. 'You picked the wrong time to piss me off, stranger. No one messes with my Bear.' Reaching down, she swiped the bear up into arms protectively. -d-

Bram Draklore [10:47 P.M.]: :: He said nothing at first just watched her a moment before walking very slowly towards her :: I was not messing with him I just put him too sleep for the moment see I have formal affairs too tend too and if he seen me before I was done I would be longer in doing my task than I need be :: when he was close enough his hand reached out slowly gave the bears ear a rub as he spoke :: it warms my soul you found your way home my friend :: said tot he bear before he with drawn his hand looking to Kenya again ::-d

Inanna Hawk [10:51 P.M.]: Kenya eyed him a bit, at least she wasn't glaring daggers at him as he reached to rub the sleeping bear's ear gently. 'You know him...and call him friend.. most dragons hate my Bear.' Tilting her head she eyed him. 'Who are you..and what's with the bow? Do the dragons need me to kill someone, Beloved.' She turned to stare at Inanna.

Bram Draklore [10:57 P.M.]: :: soft laughter at her words :: I am Bram I am the one who set him upon the path to find you and yes I know him at one time very long ago we walked along the stars together :: he folded his arms as he spoke :: it was fun. but he had another path ...:: he turned too hisw seat and lowered himself into it :: he needed more to grow ,,,so I sent him too you ,he longed for a place too be....what you call family ..so I found him one...:: as he pointed too her ::-d

Inanna Hawk [10:59 P.M.]: Inanna canted her head to the side. Why did that bow somehow look familiar to her. And why was he seemingly gifting it to her? The question was murmured to Nan who shrugged a bit and whispered back the only time she knew dragons to come bearing gifts, they were going courting. BLINK! STARE! They both dropped into seats staring at Kenya. 'hot damn.' Nan murmured. Kenya missed it all as she was listening to Bram. Ok, so she didn't have to kill anyone. Good.. it'd be no fun if Snarf was asleep for the whole thing. Still hugging him in one arm she frowned. 'M'lord Raven gave him to Madison who didn't want him..' Shrug. 'I guess it doesn't matter how really..he's still mine...and you can't have him back.' Putting the bow back down at his feet, she then set her brand new sapphire before Bram. 'Here.. take this..if you need more I'll get it..to pay for Snarf.' Dual palm slaps to foreheads as Nan and Inanna looked on. Truly that girl..had lost her mind. Was she really trying to bribe..a dragon?

Bram Draklore [11:06 P.M.]: :: he shook hias head :: you mis understand why would I take back a gift I sent too you ..long ago ..I seen you in a dream....I knew he belonged too you so I arranged for him and Raven too cross paths ...and Ravens path would bring him too you ...so you see he is yours and if you know anything of dragons we never take back a gift even one as wild as Snarff is ...as for thwe bow thaat is yours as well ..it is one of a kind...when the time comes snarff will show you ...he helped create it very long ago -d

Inanna Hawk [11:10 P.M.]: Inanna and Nan shook their heads slowly..more in disbelief than warning. Again, this was Kenya they were dealing with. Shiny things and new toys were on the table. So much for warning her..'dat chile's a goner.' Inanna nodded silently as Kenya studied Bram a bit even as the little thief's foot slid forward to slap down on one end of the bow, snapping it upwards into her awaiting hand. 'Alright..but..I guess keep the gem..as a thank you from me..Snarf's my best friend.' Inclining her head to him, she turned to Inanna. 'If there is nothing else.. I should be going now.' Nan blinked as Inanna turned her face trying not to laugh outright. Gods, this..was almost to rich..even for her! A perfectly laid trap..and Inanna hadn't even planned it. -d-

Bram Draklore [11:17 P.M.]: There is one more thing there is to be a formal dinner party being held by the elders in honor of the women of this house ....including the young ones :: said as he looked up at the ease dropping hatchlings an grinned before looking to kenya :: keep your gem it would do me no good you and he can make better use of it .. anyways ...your formal attire will be arriving in a few days for a fitting ....it will be a all night affiar :: said as he looked to Kenya than back to Inannaq and Nan:: afterwards <pauses > not sure what thay meant but they said the shine will flow....think that's how they said it -d

Inanna Hawk [11:21 P.M.]: Well the jig was up.. and the whooooosh of air as Mimic and Cassandra settled beside him chirping excitedly. Never let it be said Raven's children weren't crafty while his sisters created the diversion, Havoc swept in scooping up the gem as Scribbles dropped a parchment in its place leaving behind a fake gem. The hand off to Sheldon who tucked it under his shell. Truly, the coolest babysitter they'd ever had was the bloody Street Rat. Kenya was taken off guard she missed the entire exchange as she gaped at Bram. 'Honor the women of the....M'lord Bram..apologies..but this is not a dinner I would attend. I am Kenya Kabal.. Third Door to Sin, Thief and Priestess of the House...I serve this house and its patron..I am..no lady of this house..or any other.' -d-

Bram Draklore [11:28 P.M.]: :: He cast his glance too Kenya as he spoke :: I value my life and my scales I do not question the elders ...your gown will be arriving with the others if they wish you too attend they have a good reason and i will not question them. and too be honest do you really wish too offend a elder dragon? besides ..you might find it .....of interest ...:: said as he bowed too her than rose agtain :: in the mean time :: said as he turned to Inanna :: since I am a guest here I earn my keep I require very lil and I have no issues with work if you require tasks to be done just ask and it shall be done-d

Inanna Hawk [11:33 P.M.]: Stare. Huh? What just happened? Inanna eyed them a moment, trying to decide if Bram was somehow asking her for to find a means to keep Kenya in Egypt or not. Work? A task for a dragon? While Inanna's mind was working out her options, Kenya swallowed hard. 'Apologies.. I would never offend the Dragon High Council..' Clutching Snarf tighter she sorta shook him. Wake up.. what the hell was she supposed to do. 'my brother's gonna kill me...' She murmured to him.
Nuzzling the bear as she spoke. Inanna finally spoke up. 'You are far to kind, Lord Bram.. you are our guest..please.. enjoy your time among us. Should something arise.. I will recall your kind offer of assistance.' Turning her head to Kenya, she noted her aggitation. Normally, she'd thoroughly enjoy it. Yet, given her family's current state, shifting it further to her advantage would strain their future. 'Kenya, perhaps..you should let Tejar know where you..return with him..I am sure your mother would like
the time to see you both?' Blue eyes slid to Bram. -f-

Bram Draklore [11:46 P.M.]: :: this caused him to figit a bit :: very well I shall look about an see if others in this area might need help with something ...tis not my nature to be idle so too speak umm is there anything I might need too know before I start roaming about the area? I do not wish to offend anyone -d

Inanna Hawk [11:51 P.M.]: Nan clapped her hands sharply. 'Now ya hush up ya hear, gal.. dis here be a newcomer..lawd knows I dun raised ya up better den dat..Tejar gonna know where ya is..ain't dat thick skulled..' Turning her attention to Bram she chuckled. 'ain't no need ta be frettin' none. Dis here family...ain't dat right, chile?' Foot stomp, that had Kenya standing up straight. 'yes, ma'am.' Nan nodded. 'Now iffen' ya was thinking.. you could take dis boy back yonder wit' ya and just let my lil' Tejar ya'll need to come home for some feastin'...I'll make ya'll extra cornbread and sweet rolls....' Bribery at its it best. Kenya shot a glare right then and there to Bram. 'Come with me.. and do not look at the colors.' Turning on heel she slid the bow over her back and shoulders, then swiped a hand over her palm, opening a portal. Turning her face to him she grinned brightly at him. 'C'mon slowpoke..' thrusting a opened hand out at him.-d-

[Jester Dreamer Thief]

Bram Draklore [5:57 P.M.]: :: Bram eyed the portal slightly tilting his head pondering it a moment ...he was new here and he was not one to hop into any portal not his own without knowing where it went first so he looked to Kenya :: where does that lead too if I may ask?-d

Kenya Kabal [6:03 P.M.]: Kenya lowered her hand and looked at the portal and then him. A soft smile formed. 'Ah..I forgot..' She offered him a ridiculous bright smile and laughed a bit. 'It's a portal..we use them to get go between my home here..and my home in New York..which..well I'll have to explain..and that'll take time. You don't have to come with me. But, my mother is right.. my brothers and I serve this house as our guest it is my duty to show you the beauty of our home. I have to let my brother know where I am though. He tends to worry a lot when things come up unexpectedly. He thinks I'm still in my room as we speak.' Canting her head a bit, she hugged the bear bit a tighter. 'will you..wait for me right here. I won't take long. Just long enough to explain to Tejar where I am, for him to explode and then agree...' A shrug of shoulders. 'you sorta have to know him..but..he's pretty agreeable about these things.' -d-

Bram Draklore [6:08 P.M.]: :: he gave a nod taking a step back :: perhap it is ...I have not yet ....adapted too things here so going to where you live may be a strain on me....:: more like he had seen images of the place an how raven was hell bent on burning the place too the ground quite frankly that place scared the hell out of him :: I will keep myself busy here ..perhaps chat with the young lords an ladies if they are still about please take your time -d

Kenya Kabal [6:12 P.M.]: That made more sense. Though, the Hatchlings were a handful. Bright smile and hella fun! 'That's a great idea. Well.. I'll be back..' Wiggling fingers at him, she teetered on her heels and freefell backwards into the portal that closed as soon as it engulfed her. Bouncing on her bed, she just did make it back, when her door opened and Tejar filled the doorway. 'Kedi, I've been knocking for five minutes.. are you still so angry with me? Please.. I'm begging you here.' Kenya rolled over onto her belly, pinning her bear under her breasts as she eyed her brother. So handsome, so sweet and loving, so caring and strong. She'd known him all her life, loved him just as much, why? why did he always break her heart? 'I'm fine as you can see, Tejar. I was summoned to Egypt. I'm only back now, to let you know my where abouts..' Her dark eyes were void of any affection, sorta like talking to another guard in the house..but lacked even that warmth. Kenya more than likely knew all their names. Tejar's lips flattened as he had no choice but to accept. 'I understand...I..hope to see you soon, Kedi.' Her brother murmured as she rolled off the bed and ripped the portal open again. Darting into it, she didn't bother to pack anything, or look back. Just..gone. Skidding across the floors of the House moment's later, only then did it occur to her, she never gave him time to explode..or even give her his usual 'hug and kiss and tell her he loved her' moment as he always did. -d- 'Back.'

Bram Draklore [6:20 P.M.]: :: now bram ddint have to go about wandering too long for the hatchlings he was a dragon after all so ...he found a table an took a seat on one side before he spoke loud enough too be heard :: if it pleases the young lords an ladies I would like to enter into trade for thew gem you borrowed from kenya .:: he sat back an waited too see if they would attend the talks ,,when she returned he stood and gave her a bow or respect :: welcome back ..=d

Kenya Kabal [6:24 P.M.]: Kenya rose from her crouched position. Unlike the males, who never remembered to brace for the landing, Kenya rarely crashed into things. Seeing the Hatchlings gathered, her eyes softened. 'Oh.. you're in for it now..they've got their game faces on!' Head cant as she shifted Snarf in her arms to wag a finger at them. 'Go easy on him. He maybe a dragon..but he's still a guest. You can't rob him blind..for at least three days.' She quipped. Mimic shifted into her mini version of Kenya and saluted her. 'theives code.' Kenya giggled aloud and nodded. 'that's right.' -d.

Bram Draklore [6:27 P.M.]: :: ya he was clueless there but he looked to the small ones :: what would you cansider a fair trade for that gem ? please keepin mind I know nothing of things in this world so that being said what would you like in trade for things not of this world?-d

Kenya Kabal [6:31 P.M.]: Kenya satisfied the Hatchlings wouldn't comepletely run him over, slipped from the room. He'd be safe enough with them and she should change her clothes. The hatchlings waited for their favorite babysitter to leave then five sets of innocent faces focused back on Bram, now reflected dubious intent. Scribbles was definitely their appointed leader as he chirped to his siblings. Mimic shifted again before his eyes into some odd human male person. her voice deepened as she waved some odd smoking stump in hand. Peering up at Bram from under a black fedora with a red band, she smiled. 'we're gonna make ya an offer ya can't refuse.' Scribbles nodded his head in agreement, then drew out, their list of demands and let them come alive. five horses with wings, five suits of armor, five brand new bejeweled beds, five different types of weapons that no kid should play with and...their own dragon bat-cave. Mimic flicked the ash on the cigar. 'that last one, we'll help with..get us that..or the deals off and we keep what ya shoulda taken to start with.' Did they know? Sorta. With Cassandra among them, they knew more than they should.-d-

Bram Draklore [6:38 P.M.]: :: bram nodded :: shall we start withthe weapons first ? I am sure each of you has a preference to a certain kind of weapon what shall the first kind be?-d

The Hatchlings [6:39 P.M.]: The others turned to Scribbles who stood up. In one hand, he held a worn down bit of khol, in the other pages of parchment. He needed something easier to manage, more compact and easy to get to and use.-d-
Mimic nodded as Scribbles chirped. 'He wants a magic feathered pen..one when he summons it he can write on anything, even the air itself.'

Bram Draklore [6:46 P.M.]: :: bram nodded than flexed his fingers ...taking a deep breath he began his work ..outside night fell quickly this was how he crafted ...when darkness set in ..those near him including kenya and her bear would be surrounded by a large universe...Bram looked around the system an than chose a distant star ...drawign from its essence streams of star light ebeed downward onto the table...very slowly the requested item took shape ....it gave a soft pulsing glow as it floated on the table .:: will this do ?-d

The Hatchlings [6:49 P.M.]: Scribbles eyed it then picked it up. A nod to Sheldon who took off running in a circle and leaped into the air extending one hand. Scribbles quickly drew a bowling ball that Sheldon shoved downwards over Bram's head. He..may want to move. Sheldon landed on his feet beside Scribbles, who eyed Mimic and nodded. 'he accepts it.' -d-

Bram Draklore [6:51 P.M.]: :: he just leaned to the side a bit to let the ball pass ...a it confused but un harmed :: who is next? :: he asked as he composed himself once more::-d

The Hatchlings [6:55 P.M.]: Mimic and Cassandra stood up together. Though Mimic was Havoc's twin, these Hatchlings worked..differently. Mimic shifted in her favorite person..Madison, complete with pistols. Whisking them out she fired off to the side..they lacked the kick. Cassandra turned and raised a hand, Mimic fired again. This time..there was a kick, still there was room for improvement. Where Mimic could..mimic anything or anyone..for it to impact..Cassandra had to enchant it. Both little girls turned to smile at him. Cassandra rocked on her toes tucking hands behind her back. "I'd like a pretty pink cloak please..one that can make me invisible too..and a orb..that changes..a marble or globe whichever I need.' A pause ..Oh and can I have a closet in the dragon cave for my shoes, please and thank you, Lord Bram.' Mimic was next as she smiled at him. 'I'd like a mask please, one that smiles..then frowns..when I do.' Much like her sister, she displayed excellent manners in bowing her head. 'Thank you very much.' -d-

Bram Draklore [7:04 P.M.]: :: Braam nodded than looked about the star system until he found what he sought and spoke softly :: a orb should be proper one ...what better than from the eye of a dragon yes ? :: he held out his hand an drew from the essence of the dragon star...pulling the light ,gathering it into a perfect orb,,,andallorbs must have a stand yes ....drawing upon starlight he fashioned a stand for it an place the orb on it :: from the times long forgotten your orb :: said with a smile than carefully he reached out and took the pistols looking them over ..he had to study them a while to understand how they worked....when he was sure he gave them back an cleared his mind and once more began to craft ...this time is was a set of pistols . with odd gems set in the grips...these he placed on the taable an spoke :: I think you will find these to your liking...these will kill anything .....including a dragon....-d

The Hatchlings [7:12 P.M.]: All five of them crowed around the orb and its stand eyeing it. Shiney! Five sets of eyes sparkled and five little voiced 'oooh'd' Mimic lifted her eyes and squealed in delight reaching for the pistols. All five of them frowned at him. Why would they ever want to kill a dragon? Mimic spun on on her index finger. Just her size too! Leveling it she fired and blew a massive hole in a column. Cassandra picked up her orb and grinned when it shrank to the size of a marble. Extending her hand, she nodded to Mimic who fired again..and blew the entire column into a pile of rubble. Both girls looked at him and nodded. They didn't agree as yet. Cassandra still needed her cloak..in pink..and his consent she'd have her shoe closet.-d-
Bram Draklore [7:17 P.M.]: now for the cloak :: for this he had the perfect star to draw upon ..oddly there were pink planets as well an on these he drew upon them to form the desire item ..unlike cloth when visable it woule shimmer like the stars inthe night sky for it was a living thing ..whenit was complete he folded it and held it out :: when worn you shall be unseen by all means not even magic can seek you out and you shall have as big as a closet as you need for your shoes ...what ever they may be :: yea he was clueless on that one:;-d

The Hatchlings [7:20 P.M.]: Cassandra clapped her hands and squealed much like Mimic, before whirling about and sliding the cloak over her head. It shimmered and in the next instant she was gone. Save for the echo of her giggle. 'I accept!' Mimic smiled and folded her arms. Her mask was all that was left.-d-

Bram Draklore [7:22 P.M.]: :: he thought about the mask long and hard and than spoke :: just curious do you want menacing or cute mask wise? -d

The Hatchlings [7:31 P.M.]: 'Both.. cause I'm scary..and adorable.. my mommy told me so.'

Bram Draklore [7:34 P.M.]: :: he nodded and once more began too craft drawing in the light of the univese to create...when it was done he placed it upon the table it tooo shimmered when it moved ..:: he looked too them all as he spoke :: I do believe the armor is next yes ?-d

The Hatchlings [7:37 P.M.]: Mimic picked it up and tried it one, immediately the frown formed. 'You deny my brothers.' One pistol was aimed at his head, as Cassandra's hood lowered and the pretty little girl's face was set in a fierce look, resting a hand on Mimic's shoulder, to ensure when Mimic fired, she blew away the double dealing dragon.-d-
Bram Draklore [7:40 P.M.]: :; blinks :: sorry this is a lagre task and I forgot what else is on the list ?-d

The Hatchlings [7:42 P.M.]: This litter, certainly stuck together. Vastly different it seemed, but together nonetheless. Mimic didn't lower the pistol. 'You chose to start with the weapons. There are five of us.. you've forgotten my brothers Sheldon and Havoc..we'll return to the list after they have their weapons.' Her voice had shifted again, this time her Uncle Shadow was used. He did have a way of speaking so subtly that made your skin crawl. -d-

Bram Draklore [7:43 P.M.]: ahh and what are the young lords weaapons of choice ?-d

The Hatchlings [7:47 P.M.]: Havoc moved to Sheldon and shoved his hand up under Sheldon's shell, rummaging. They used it as a storage unit?! Tugging out two magazines, Havoc laid them down. One..was a modern day weapons rag, the other on a Guitar rag. Havoc was very much like the men of the house. Blades..lots of them were his preference. Like his mother, he was crafty. He carefully pointed out a set of throwing knives, two short swords, one long curved sword, and wrist bands that were definitely inspired by Assassin's Creed. From the guitar mag, he pointed to one that looked a lot like his buddy Blue's guitar...until Scribbles dropped a page on it and it morphed. Ah, it changed to a shot gun...makes sense. Havoc lifted his head and grinned.-d-

Bram Draklore [7:53 P.M.]: :: Bram was beginning to feel like he was outfitting a small army getting ready for invasion ,he studied the pictures a moment than set too work drawing in more starlight he looked like one bend over a forge as he spun the light into the deisred shapes and forms....when he was nearly done he infused them witht he essence from the dragon star to give the weapons a bit more of a kick ...when he was done he placed the items before them for their approval and waited ::-d

The Hatchlings [8:03 P.M.]: Havoc eyed them and began the process of outfitting himself. Slide there, long blade across back, wristbands on, and Skriiiit of the blades springing out of them. A slow grin etched features as he retracted them. Picking up the guitar he turned around and played the chords Blue had taught him, before leveling the fret board outward and striking the strings one more time. Pressing down the D chord...for death apparently..the spray of bullets began. Havoc, future Rockstar Assassin at your service. He gave Bram a thumbs up. Mimic kept the pistol trained on Bram. 'Havoc and I accept. Now Sheldon..and we'll stop for...now.' She maintained her Uncle's voice. -d-

Bram Draklore [8:05 P.M.]: :: he looked too shelldon :: and what is your pleasure young lord? -d

The Hatchlings [8:08 P.M.]: Sheldon moved closer to Bram and lifted his hands to Bram's head, then pressed his shell covered head to Bram's. A scale formed in Bram's mind's eye. One used for judgement. This would be the first time, anyone beyond his siblings caught a glimpse of Sheldon's thoughts. Releasing Bram's head he stepped back and waited.-d-

Bram Draklore [8:14 P.M.]: :: bram nodded not saying a word and drew upon the skies ones more collecting starlight to form the desired object and placed it before him ...but he was not done he was a dragon of his word .....cracking his neck he stood an turned around ..studying the night sky he than closed his eyes bending the universe too his will ...the elderas might have a shit fit but he was bound by contract to complete the deal.....before him 5 suits of armor too shape..and he spoke :: from the time of the beginning armor forged in the heart of the brightest sun by the greatest foremasters .. gyazo.com/6695140a27031304b569123e8abe5065

Bram Draklore [8:18 P.M.]: :: another rack would take shape which held swords to go with them :: as with all armor great weapons are required ..these are the swords of the the first 7 of the dragon high lords ....you may take your pick of them . what is not choosen shall be set aside for your other 2 siblings -d -
gyazo.com/eb17c492cb8ec021b337b353f6e63922

The Hatchlings [8:23 P.M.]: All five chirped and huddled together. Arms linked about each other in a private little circle. As if their game plan was set, the rack was raided. The black and orange went to Havoc. The Blue to Scribbles, the white to Sheldon, the Purple swirls to Cassandra and Mimic claimed the red. Returning to the armor, they hovered the swords over thier armor and looked at Cassandra. On her nod, they all dropped the swords on the armor, as Cassandra cast the spell...well one should have a personalized suit of armor. Gathering their wares, Mimic spoke for them again. 'We accept this.. and on behalf of our older sister and younger brother. We'll stop here..its bathtime and Nanna's mate will tell us a story before we sleep.' With that, the turned on heel and headed for the doors. 'Don't worry..Kenya taught us to honorable thieves. Keep your word and we'll keep ours.' Mimic called over shoulder to him. Cassandra giggled at him. 'I think its soooooo romantic.' Spinning on her heel she raced to catch up with her siblings.-d-

[Jester Dreamer Thief]

Bram was far out of his element,something he was not use too. While Kenya went to speak with her brother he just stood there in thought . He had no place here His thoughts where cut short when Kenya reappeared ,where too start? he only got a welcome back out of his mouth before Nan came out of the kitchen an snagged her up. He just watched as she leaf the girl into the kitchen going on about the chickens wont pluck themselfs...his brow went up wondering what the hell a chicken was. As they vanished into the kitchen thoughts turned to other matters.

He left the house by the front door along the way asking where the nearest town or village . Pointed in the right direction he set out. Now Bram had lived a solitary life pretty much like all dragons do. True he was a dragon but far as he knew he had no family. Thus from the time he could fly he had been on his own. Solidarity was one of lifes great lessons he supposed, when one spends so much time alone one learns too love more passionately when one found the other part of their soul. Perhaps in the long run this was how things should be for when a dragon did finally take a mate it was for life and they would lay down their life too keep that mate safe from harm. He was unsure of himself as all young people were no matter what race. Would he fit into the house? From all he had learned and seen not many were fond of his type . All he could do was try.

After a a hour or so walking he came to the out skirts of the town an paused. first order of business was to find a place too live. This would take another hour of walking the streets until he found a small place. After paying the man his stomach began too remind him it has been some time since he last ate and too be honest he had no clue what food was like here . He spent a few more moments in small talk with his new land lord before inquiring about a good place to enjoy a meal . The elder was more than happy to help him find his way showing him different shops and market stalls..Bram explained to him that he was new too these lands and asked the elder if he would join him for a meal . The man gladly excepted and soon they were sitting in a nice shaded place near one of the stalls.

Since he was new the elder offered too order the meal ,Bram excepted but insisted he would pay. taking a few gold coins from his pouch that he placed on the table. The mans laughed as he ordered food. Soon various foods where placed on the table and Bram and the man pointed out each one and explained what it was in which Bram was thankful for. There was fish,beef,warm bread a bowl of honey,dates,nuts,cheese and 2 large pitchers of milk.

Bram waited for his guest too fill his plate first before he followed suit. He watched the man from the corner of his eye because lets face it dragons rarely sat down at a table too eat and he was clueless . So after a few moments bram began too eat sampling each food .He found himself very fond of the milk . As they ate the elder was more than happy too keep up the conversation talking bout crops the people ,pointing out different stalls and explaining which each person was selling .Bram drank it all in like a sponge. The meal lasted quite a while neither one rushing through it . When the meal was done he thanked bram for the company an the meal before excusing himself to tend too other things.

Once more Bram was on his own so he wandered the market place an began shopping for things he would need . He bought a few changes of clothing ,a large clay crook too keep water in and other small items . Loaded with goods he made his way back to the small building. Once he was inside he closed the door and placed the items on a table then began too clean. Since he had no idea how people reacted to magic he closed the small windows . Unlike Raven he rarely used his magic preferring too work with hands . But for now the day was growing long and he wished a clean house before he lay down . with the help of a few spells the place was soon clean. He sat the water crock in the corner an put just a small spell on it so it would always refill itself an stay cold. A small fire was build in the fireplace and fresh straw made up his bed.

Once the chores were done He ventured back outside slowly looking about . He needed something too do . He wandered the streets for a while watching the labor of others. If one had to classify him he was a craftsman who loved to create and when he found himself mere the local glass maker....Bram moved closer and watched for a while before deciding this is what he would enjoy doing . And it was he he applied for a job.

Meanwhile back at the house the bear was coming out of his induced coma .First words out of his mouth were " someones needs to either kills dat damn scribes or puts a fucking muzzle on hers!! He than blinked looking around he was in the kitchen and ohhh the heavenly smells that assaulted his lil nose made his tummy rumble..he piped up as Kenya was plucking a chicken . " ohh mes didn't knows you could cooks.....can mes has a sweet rolls mes mighty hungeys?

Kenya Kabal [7:19 P.M.]: Chickens. Chickens. Chickens. Did her mother confiscate every last bloody chicken in Alexandria? Gods, she was up to her ears in feathers here. Since she'd gotten home, it was chickens from sun up to sun down. Seated in a little cove outside the coop, safe from the sun's heat, the feathers were yanked out and dropped until the pile of naked fowl, was gathered and taken to the kitchens. She'd suppose it could be worse. She could be stuck in the temple. That..would have sucked. A glance to the kitchens where Snarf was more than likely stuffing his face with sweet rolls. It wasn't like the bear could help.. No hands! A chuckle, grew into a snicker, to a full blown giggle as she recalled Snarf looking up at her and blinking. 'mes gots no hands..hows i'se plucks chickens wifs nos hands!' Oh to be a stuffed bear..at least for right now. Blowing a puff of air, to rid her face of an errant feather, Kenya snagged another bird, and broke its neck. 'One feather..two feather..three feather.. Four!' she counted aloud..making up a silly song to pass the time. 'the next time Mama comes a smiling.. run for the door!' -d-

Bram Draklore [7:26 P.M.]: :: Having secured a place too sleep and a job Bram filled a skin with water and strte back too the House....stoppng along the way just long enough too buy some dates these he ate as he walked back . upon arriving he paused just outside and cleaned himself up getting as much dust off himself as possiable . Entering the house he felt a slight tug ..he ad always known how too find the bear...if one smelled cooking the bear was not oo far away ...He made his way towards the kitchen an entered slowlly listening
too the singing as he entered .He looked too the bear an grinned :: was wondering if you were going too sleep the whole time ...tis good too see you again old friend . :: well ther are only a few times in life where the bear as tken off guard..lil fuzzy just sat there his jaw hanging open looking at the man his mind trying to process..:: BRAMS???!! yous heres? for real??! dems lets yous out of dat prisons finally??!! :: the small bear lept at the man an hit him with a big hug :: aye I am pleased too see you found your way home . I am happy for you :: said as he sat the small bear back down on the tble and greeted Nan and Kenya who was singing :: I hope I am not intrudeing -d

Kenya Kabal [7:31 P.M.]: OUTSIDE, the chicken coop, Kenya bobbed her head side to side as she sang her little ditty. 'One feather.. two feather, three feather, Four! Woe to the chickens as the people scream 'MORE' Another little snicker, broke into an all out cackle as Kenya danced a newly plucked nude chicken on her lap and got into her singing. 'Break it down...chicken dance' Humming aloud she danced the poor dead bird around the little shack, before it hit her. Old School 'Oooo Do da Bird! Oh wee oh weee Oh' Slide to the left, flapping her arms...slide to the right, flapping her arms..in one hand..a flailing plucked chicken. Nan smiled at Bram, sliding a plate of rolls to him. 'hello again....welcome.. go on..help yo'self. Dems my sweet rolls. Tell me iffen ya like 'em'

Bram Draklore [7:40 P.M.]: :: now the bear wa too damn curious for his own good an that song caught his attention..so he went too the back door peeking out and blinked as her and being snarf he just had too call out :: has you been in nans shines agains kenyas?! "" Bram gave Nan a bow or respect before he took a seat at the table. :: thank you :: he picked up a sweet roll taking a bite ..oh yes he was going to like visiting the kitchen when ever he could .As he ate he looked over too Nan :: is there anything I can do too help you ? I kinda feel out of place not doing anything -d

Kenya Kabal [7:55 P.M.]: Nan smiled nodding to him. 'Idle hands..' She murmured and paused hearing Snarf. Rising from her seat, she shuffled to the window to look out. With Heartsblood away..her age had reclaimed her. 'dat gal knows better den be out yonder sippin' shine..when dere be work to be done. Bram.. go on out make sure those chickens is plucked.' Up and down, bob on toes as Nan was a tad bit short to peer through the window, so she went with Snarf's thought that Kenya had been drinking.-d-

Bram Draklore [8:00 P.M.]: :: give a dragon a simple job and something is bound too wrong ..he finished off his swet roll hoping there ould be more later on his way out of the kitchen he kissed nans cheek and thanks her for the treat .Then quitely he strolled outside . He watch Kenya dance around witht he naked bird an sing .he found it quite curious was it a custom to dance witht he food one was going to cook? Snarf seen the look on his face an started laughing as Bram spoke :: Nan said too come out and help you...pluck the
the chickens...-d

Kenya Kabal [8:03 P.M.]: There was no interupting Morris Day and the Time..in any form! Slide to the left..slide to the right, snag another chicken, spin around and... scream your head off while flinging said LIVE chicken at Bram's head. Dark eyes widened as she blinked. Omigods, omigods..dart forward. Its the end of the world.. I threw a live chicken at a dragon! Darting passed Bram as he battled with a chicken flailing wings, hoping to fly for its life..just once.. she leant forward to scoop up the bear who was laughing his stitching out. 'grab the bear..run like hell.. deny everything.' Kenya plotted as she headed for the kitchens.-d-

Bram Draklore [8:09 P.M.]: :: yea this was soo not helping him fit in ..he had no idea what plukin a chicken was,the bear was laughing his ass off and not he had some feathered creature thrown at him that seemed to be a bit pissed at running it into him...calmly he seperated himself for the fowl creature <yes bad pun intended> and took a step back away from it not sure if it was a mystical creature with magic...slowly he backed into the kitchen and closed the door eyes not leaving the bird uno the door was shut :: why did you throw a angry bird at me ? did I do something too offend you or upset you in some way ? :: he asked kenya as the bear was laughing even harder now which only confused the poor man even more rthan he was :-d

Kenya Kabal [8:53 P.M.]: Kenya hugged the bear. 'it was uh accident.' a complete childlike murmur around a sweet roll being shoved in her mouth. That only succeeded in making bear laugh harder. Nan blinked between all three of them. 'What in da world...' Raise of hand to pluck a feather off Bram's hair. 'Lawd...I asked ya to make sure she was pluckin' chickens not lose a fight wit' em.' -d-

Bram Draklore [8:58 P.M.]: :; Serious as a heart attack he looked too Nan and spoke :: I am kinda new here and not well informed of customs here ...on this world is plucking and fighting chickens part of the courtship ritual? :: yep the small bear lost his shit and was howling with laughter and pointed to Bram:: mes knews it!!! :: than the bear makes lil fuzzy kissy lips at him an fell back in kenyas arms laughing even harder :: no's wonders yous been acting funnys :: Bram took a deep breath ..lords ya jus had to love the childlike manners the bear had ,,soo damn care free and blunt about everything . He looked to Nan really having not a clue how to proceed here ::-d

Kenya Kabal [9:05 P.M.]: Nan bit back a laugh as she shooed him out of the kitchen. 'Ya'll go on git.. ya'll dun made enough a mess for today.. Kenya... chile, stop stuffin' yo'r face and take dis here Bram out yonder and show him where ya dun growed up.' Kenya tilted her head a bit. Not..in trouble. She wasn't gonna fry! Slide off the stool she literally perched on, still holding the cackling bear. 'Uh.. ok.. this way...' She moved behind Bram and paused the moment her mother turned her back, she swiped the plate and dumped the rolls into the space between her and the bear. Mama didn't say nothing about leaving the rolls behind. One handed, palm slapped into Bram's back, pushing him forward. 'Ok..time to go.. march.. full speed ahead.. hot cargo on board..' really, she'd just stolen a plate of rolls.. this is where one should run. Didn't this guy know anything. "Snarf...gimme a hand here.' -d-

Bram Draklore [9:14 P.M.]: :: The bear was ton between laughing an helping her stash them rolls...once they they were out of the kitchen an safe the bear composed himself enough too look up at Kenya :: finks mes shoud makes some introductions :: Kenya meets Brams....:: he looked to Bram :: hims knowns as a star weavers ..Brams dis be Kenyas ..hers is knowns as dee street rats :: now the bear was just trying to be helpful as can be .he climbed up on Kenyas shoulder arm around her neck so he would nots falls off an looked to bram :: do dee others knows whys you here ? ::: Bram thought of this a moment thn spoke :: Inanna and Nan knew the first few moments I was here how I do not know but seeing how they went through the same thing I should have known it would not be a kept quite long .:: he smiled too Kenya :: I hope I have not caused you any problems with Nan.-d

Kenya Kabal [9:20 P.M.]: Kenya looked between the two as she arranged backpack, rolls and bear. Glancing up at Bram she smiled brightly. 'Huh.. oh no.. its fine. I thought I was just going to die a painful death for slapping you with a live chicken. I'm good!' She bobbed head and walked ahead a bit, listening to them. 'Why wouldn't they know.. its feast to to honor them, Snarf. Don't you pay attention..at all? No wonder you always get in trouble.' Raise of hand to ruffle fur between his ears. 'So.. I'm to show you around.. um.. where do you want to start?' Turning around, she walked backwards so she could face Bram. 'what's a star weaver?' -d-

Bram Draklore [9:25 P.M.]: :: and the bear thought the dragons were clueless but the bear was having way too much fun at bother their expences soo he shifted around in fro of kenya a fuzzy paw on each of her cheeks nose pressing to hers as he spoke :: now listen too mes fuzzy lil lips ...Brams here too courts you ...and a star weaver is ones who creates stuff wif star lights :: Bram looked too the bbear than too Kenya :: umm yea what he said and we can start where ever you would like since I know nothing of this place :: he took a sweet roll an jammed it in the bears mouth before he got him into trouble than looked back too kenya motioning her too lead the way :: after you please -d

Kenya Kabal [9:29 P.M.]: Kenya dug her heels into the sand. 'To...what?' Kenya's eyes were locked on the Bear's upside down eyes as they were nose to nose, until Bram shoved a roll in its mouth after Snarf righted himself. 'Did..he say court..me? As in...date?' Kenya turned around to look at Bram as he motioned for her to lead the way. 'You...' Index finger point at him. 'want to date...me?' Point back at herself. Lip twitch. Shoulder quiver..then the all out giggle of a bubbling laughter. 'HA! you'll never survive it.' Slap of hand on Bram's back. 'C'mon.. I know just where to start.. ' and impish grin over shoulder at him. The devious glint in her eyes. 'if you can keep up.' -d-

Bram Draklore [9:34 P.M.]: :: Bram winked : I survived the bear and th dragon elders...I am sure I am pretty much ready for anything tasked to me at this point ::; famous last words of all cocky right before they get their ass's handed too them he gave the bears head a rub laughing softly :: still the same ole snarf ..:: he looked to kenya :: lets began shall we? show me the wonders of your world -d

Kenya Kabal [9:44 P.M.]: He was here to date her? A dragon..and her? Kenya shook her head, with a chuckle. Tilt of head back as she led them to the garden. Taking off her backpack, she turned and handed it to Bram. 'I used to play here a lot with my brothers. Since you are new.. may as well have some fun.. wanna play a game? Its easy.. all you have to do..is find me.. and..no flying.. that's just cheating. Snarf can go with you..since you're new and all that.' A tweak to Snarf's nose. -d-

Bram Draklore [9:47 P.M.]: :: he listenedand nodded as he took the bear :: alright no flying :: He sat the bag down an took the bear out of it :: this time you walk like me I aint packing ya :: he looked too kenya :: so how do we start the game ?-d

Kenya Kabal [9:50 P.M.]: Kenya spun around to face the infamous maze of the garden. 'Well this is a huge maze..with lots of twists and turns. Beyond it is the stables. Make it to the stables first. you win..find me and prevent me from getting to the stables.. you win.' Turning around to face him again, she pointed to a tree. 'Over there.. close your eyes.. no peeking.. Snarf, you too.. and count to oh..say.. 150.' She grinned as she smiled up at him, her gaze slightly going a bit further over his head, then back to him.
'then..come find me..or make it to the stables first. either way works...if you really get lost and scared..like I did the first time I played.. just call out..'LOST' and I'll end the game and save you.'-d-

Bram Draklore [9:54 P.M.]: :: he thought on this a moment than spoke :: let me make sure I have this riht ..if me or the bear find you we win yes ? or get to the stables before you correct? -d

Kenya Kabal [9:59 P.M.]: 'Yes.. but...no flying.. that's an unfair advantage..since I don't have wings.. but.. everything else..is sorta fair game.. ooh and you can't go through the maze barriers..the Beloved is really really particular about those bushes.' She explained, rocking back and forth on her heels, her hands tucked politely behind her back.-d

Bram Draklore [10:01 P.M.]: alright let us begin : he and the bear faced the tree closing their eyes ..Bram did the counting ..he loved the bear but snarff had his own way of counting and it was never right :: get set ......go....1...................2..............3....................4......................5.....................6..............7....-d

Kenya Kabal [10:07 P.M.]: Kenya backed away quietly, then spun on heel and took off into the maze. Darting her way around it, she glanced up ever so often. She counted with him softly. '8.......9.........10.................20................30..............40............50...........60............70..............75...........100............120..........140....' Slowing to a walk. '141..142....143....144....145....' and stop. Glance up she grinned and darted forward, scaling the tall oak to perch on a thick branch. '146...147...148..149....150...' She murmured as she glanced down from the tree. That should keep him busy for awhile. Folding her hands behind her head she chuckled softly.-d

Bram Draklore [10:17 P.M.]: :: when the count reached 150 he opened his eyes and looked to the bear :: as agreed no flying ..you ready for some fun? :; Snarff laughed :: you gots a plans? :: bram nodded and picked the small bear up :: yep remember how we made a gme of picking fruit? same plan :: the bear laughed an braced himself :: mes ready !! :: with that bram tossed he lil bear high into the air straight up ..as he went up bram hollwered :: point in the direction if yousee her!!-d

Kenya Kabal [10:20 P.M.]: Kenya turned her head and blinked. 'well hell.. that's a new one.' Lowering her arms, she shifted to a crouch as she watched Snarf soar into the air. 'tricksy dragon.' she murmured sliding back a bit closer to the tree.-d-

Bram Draklore [10:26 P.M.]: :: the bear looked around andas he came down he hollered :: cants see her !! :: bram caught him an started through the maze only pausing now an than to toss the bear up into the air getting direction on which way too go ....and together they began making their way to the stables ..with each toss into the air the he would ask the bear if he saw any sight of her ...snarff was laughing having a great time ..even snagging a few figs on one of his trips down...than bram had another idea : hey bear put your nose too good use do you smell the scent of sweet rolls up there ?!-d

Kenya Kabal [10:29 P.M.]: 'Houston..we have a problem.' She murmured from her perch. A glance to the right and she darted forward, a leap from one branch to the next..to the next. 'Down wind..gotta stay down wind.' She murmured as she slid down a tree. Slipping into the maze she took off running..towards them, then veered off to the left. -d-

Bram Draklore [10:33 P.M.]: :: from up in the air the bear scrreamed::: thinks mes saw hers over dats way ::: bram caught him and had to think fast on the fly :: ok bear your lighter than I am so up ya go : he tossed snarff upon to the top of the heages from up there he would have a good view of how to et through the maze :: I will stay down here you up there I will follow you .if we win I will buy you a warm jug of honey ::He know hos to motivate the bear who took off like a flash with bram hot on his heels:-d

Kenya Kabal [10:36 P.M.]: Kenya chuckled as she sprinted through the maze. It actually did change every few years or so..so a few wrong turns did set her back a bit. Skidding to a stop she turned and darted back the other way...damned dead ends. -d-

Bram Draklore [10:41 P.M.]: :: the bear had a one track mind when hoeny was on the table ..he proved too be a good guide sometimes it paid to be made of cotton after a few minutes snarff hollwed down :: cant sees her still but dee stables is getting close ! :: Bram nodded an picked up the pace ..oddly him an the bear did work together well Snarf had a plan too ..lets face it he was twisted bout as bad as the dragons an so he started talking very loudly too bram :: has you seens kenyas nakeds yet ? hers has dee cutest lil
birth marks on her butt cheeks ,,,,if you wants too later mes can shows you where hers wikes to takes a baff you can see for yours self !! :: Bram blinked and lost focus an ran into a solid wall of hedge ..spitting out a mouthful of leaves he eyed the bear as he started running to catch up :: your one twisted lil bear ..what the hell did those dragons teach you when i sent you too them???!-d

Kenya Kabal [10:47 P.M.]: Kenya had lost track of them and opted to head for the stables. She had to be close, when she heard..her beloved little bear. 'mes shows yous wheres shes takes baffs' What the hell had he done to her Bear? 'Why you...' Kenya huffed and raced towards the sounds of the voices and SLAM! Straight into Bram and bounce on her backside. Well...she found them..or they found her... Turn of head. And there was the stables....twenty paces dead ahead. -d-

Bram Draklore [10:51 P.M.]: :: the bear looked down ad the 2 and just smiled to Kenya :: gottchas!! :: and the lil bear took off makng a mad dash for the stables meanwhile bram reached down taking Kenya by the hand a smile given right before he picked her up and tossed her over his shoulder :: we win :: with her draped over his shoulder he followed the bear walking to the stables ..when he reched base he nodded to the bear :: well played my lil friend well played -d

Kenya Kabal [10:54 P.M.]: Blink! And it all came crashing down on her. Slung over his shoulder, she tittered...then snickered, until he erupted into all out giggles. 'That..is so wrong.. Snarf.. when I get my hands on you.. its the fluff cycle for you!' Hanging over Bram's shoulder didn't seem to phase her to much, she'd been slung over one brother or the other for years. It was just a mere matter of not letting all the blood flow to your head. Still, this was a dragon. SLAP! to the ass on Bram. 'Ok.. you two won.. you can put me down now.' -d-

Bram Draklore [10:59 P.M.]: :: thinking this was how the game was played he gave her ass a playful smack before he sat her down and he had to ask very curious :: what is a fluff cycle? :: the bear fell over laughing then got up running over too Kenya hopping into her arms :: its hows her gives mes a baff makes me all warm and fuzzys:: Bram than looked too Kenya :: tis good too hear laughter again -d

Kenya Kabal [11:01 P.M.]: Kenya blinked as he smacked her backside making her take a step forward. Arms wrapped about her Bear as she hugged him. 'lil turncoat..what'd you trade me in for.. honey mead?' She asked before looking up at Bram. 'its been awhile? How come?' d-

Bram Draklore [11:05 P.M.]: "" the bear hugged her tight :: mes would never trades you for all dee hoeny in the world ..mes just "founds" you for a jugs of honeys :: bram grinned the looked to Kenya :: dragons led a solitary life for the most part ..with the exception of traveling with the bear there and now I have not had much contact with anyone less I was in trouble with the elders ...mispalce a solar system and ones in trouble for a while.:: said with a grin -d

Kenya Kabal [11:12 P.M.]: Kenya looked between the two, listening. They did seem very close. 'A jug of honey?' A pointed look at Bram. 'It better be a BIG jug..' Grin. Tilting her head to the side the confusion masked her face. 'The only dragon I know as you've described is Lord Shadow Hawk. All the others seem to really enjoy being around people.' As he continued her eyes widened. 'you..lost an entire solar system?' A soft whistle emitted from her. 'that..could probably do it.' -d-

Bram Draklore [11:18 P.M.]: wasn't my fault :: eyes the bear :: SOMEONE distracted me ....well as for raven him and the other have been here a while with the exception of my home ..I spent most my time out there :: said as he pointed up at the sky then looked to kenya :: it pleases me snarff is happy with you ...and you him ...:: grins :: I am sure he is a handful if he has not changed his wild ways..I lost track of him once i put himon th path too met up with Raven....never will you find one as loyal as he is believe it or not and
it will be a big jug . so tell me what is your rolle herein this place ? you said you had a brother?-d

Kenya Kabal [11:26 P.M.]: Kenya smiled and tapped a finger on Bram's nose. 'Brothers' she corrected. 'I actually have three...' A pause as the light faded from her eyes a bit. 'one...died. The other two are Kejar...and Tejar.' Nuzzle to Snarf. 'You're right about Snarf though..he's loyal..and he makes me laugh.' She stole a page from Bram's book and tossed the Bear in the air to catch him again. 'and we're a perfect pair..aren't we?'--d

Bram Draklore [11:29 P.M.]: sorry for your lose :: he smiled as the bear was tossed into the air and came down laughing :: I look forward too meeting them ...though from what I have been able too getout of the bear there ..not too many seem ..fond of my kind ..is this the norm with all or just some? :: ask as he leaned on the stable fence watching her ::-d

Kenya Kabal [11:34 P.M.]: 'No..not really. It's just the dragons way..they're kinda..all...RAWR..I'M GONNA EAT YA...and..we can't defend against it. Ya know.' She explained and giggled at his confused look. 'we're different. and Raven has a really hard time adjusting...he really means well..but...sometimes..the things he does..with good intentions...really makes things worse in the end.' -d-
'Not that we..humans...don't do some really stupid things ourselves. So its kinda like the dumb leading the dumber.'

Bram Draklore [11:38 P.M.]: :: nods :: so I have heard ...it is a wonderhe is still sane..I haveheard stories ..as for as eatting you between us drgons rarely eat other beings ..not good for their stomachs and how do you feel about them..dragons that is ? :: if she hated dragon he was one screwed lizard for sure .:: no one is truly dumb I think everyone has to make mistakes in order too learn and beome something better than they were .-d

Kenya Kabal [11:46 P.M.]: Kenya mulled it over a bit, then lifted her gaze to his. 'No..to be honest..some humans..truly are just that dumb.' She was silent for a moment, before she smiled brightly at him. 'I like the dragons. They're funny, strong and well there is something to be said when Raven, Shadow and Heartsblood go all..'GRRRRR and bad ass.' It's pretty cool to watch and let me tell you..mess with their women, they'll layeth the smack down like nobodies business.' A firm nod. 'So..yeah.. I like them. Their honest.' -d-

Bram Draklore [11:52 P.M.]: :: he laughed softly at that :: seems you know quite a bit ..:: He looked up at the darkening night sky :: I have no plans on messing with any of them ..I have seen what happens ..not pretty ..andin the end no one really wins . :: He unslung the pack and took out a sweet roll before handingit back too Kenya :: I have to admit I find the food here ..quite good...though I will have to get use too sitting at a table and more so use too this form ..still feels a bit....odd too me.-d

Kenya Kabal [11:55 P.M.]: Taking her pack back, she knelt to reaarange it, then gingerly slid Snarf inside. He'd somehow, fallen asleep. Must have gotten bored with all the talking. 'We'd better get that jug..if its not here when he wakes up, he'll hurt ya.' She smiled up at Bram, closing the flap. 'C'mon.. I know where we can get some. Have you been to the markets?-d-

Bram Draklore [12:00 A.M.]: :: he grinned :: yes I walked there early this morning found a place too live ..had a great meal with one of the elders there and did s bit of shopping but I would not mind going back .still quite a bit of things I have not sampled yet :: he looked at the bear being placed in the bag :: think maybe 2 large ones he does have a bottomless pit of a stomach . while we walk you can tell me more about yourself :: yea he har no damn clue bout horses or camels as ways of getting around -d

[Jester Dreamer Thief]

Kenya Kabal [12:58 P.M.]: Kenya stared at him for a moment. Walk..to the markets. Dragons..were odd. 'Um' Glance up at the night sky. 'I was thinking something closer and faster.' Heading back to the House, she settled her backpack in the kitchen with Nan, letting her know that Snarf was asleep inside it. The old woman nodded and watched as Kenya left the kitchen heading back to the stables. Two horses were brought out. A grin to Bram as he sort of just followed her around like a lost puppy. 'Ok..so this a horse..Don't eat them.'

Bram Draklore [1:01 P.M.]: :: when she showed him the horses and said dont eat hem his brow went up pondering a moment ...never taking his eyes off the amimals he leaned over whispering to her :: what are they for than if not eating? -d

Kenya Kabal [1:02 P.M.]: Patting the horse's neck as it nudged at her hip. Sugar. Kenya had sweets. The horse was good to go, whereever she wanted. Fishing out a cube she fed it to him. Handing Bram a few cubes she grinned. 'The fastest way to make a friend of these guys..is through their bellies. You try it. That one's Blackfell..I stole him awhile back, but haven't had time to break him in.' As if that just explained everything and murderous look in the creatures eyes. 'they're kinda picky..somethimes they pick thier owners and will only let one ride them...I think Blackfell is one of those.' Blink. 'Um...yeah....' Turning she swung up ontop of the other's back patting its neck. 'This is Lollipop..she likes sweets..so it fit..and you don't eat them..you ride them, silly.' -d-

Bram Draklore [1:07 P.M.]: :: he took the sugar cubes and being curious he popped one into his own mouth before he copied her offering one too the horse . somewhere in the bad of his mind he heard the lil bears voice sceaming " donts dooo its!!" but he was trusting her . After the cubes were gone he followed her example and hopped up ontot he horses back once he got his balance he looked over too her :: now what? -d

Kenya Kabal [1:11 P.M.]: Black seemed okay with the dragon on his back. Maybe because he knew Bram, could in fact..devour him in the blink of an eye. Kenya grinned. Fear was a motivator. Taking the reigns, she showed him how to hold them. 'Use your thighs to guide him in the direction you want to go. ' A little click of her tongue. 'yah.' Lollipop took off galloping out of the stables and garden towards the sands. -d-

Bram Draklore [1:18 P.M.]: :: He watched her making note of everything she did and followed suit ..reins in hand he clicked his tongue and was a bit startled when the horrse took off, but the guiding the horse with his thighs yea he was clueless ,,the damn hoarse wa all over the place ..if one didnt know better they would swear the horse and its rider had been drinking ...he did his best too keep up but it was slow going ...he was starting to regret not flying but he was a guest here and it was up too him too learn their customs even if it did kill him :-d

Kenya Kabal [1:21 P.M.]: Kenya glanced over her shoulder at him and giggled. Turning Lollipop she circled back to catch up with him and leant to the side, and transferred horses, slipping behind him. Lollipop kept pace even as she was now riderless. Kenya slid her arms around and took the reigns over Bram's hands. Her thighs closed in against his so he could feel how to guide Black with them. 'Relax..Black'll run all over you if you don't show him who's master.' Tugging the reigns a bit, she pressed her thigh against his left flank. A few minutes later she did it again to the right. 'Get it now?'-d-

Bram Draklore [1:27 P.M.]: :: He blinked when she transfered horses so smmothly ,,how the hell did she do that without falling? he listened too her instructions and paid close attention but he had too ask :: if you guide this creature with your legs than what are these for? :: asked as he tapped the reins? :: for some reason when she pressed up against him it suddenly became a lil difficult to concentrate...yea focus dragon :: do they serve a purpose?-d

Kenya Kabal [1:30 P.M.]: Kenya smiled. 'You can use both..Lollipop is mine..so I don't need to use the reigns so much..it helps in a fight..I can use my arrows and not worry about her running off.' She fell silent as the pulled the reigns back toward when. 'Whoooa.' She called slowing Black down to a halt.
'Its alot to learn.. maybe we should ride double..until you get the idea.' -d-

Bram Draklore [1:33 P.M.]: :: one thing about it when it came too this lot of dragons being clueless was a past time for them ...he looked too her ,,than too her horse than bck too her :: your going too put this horse on top of that one? is it safe? :: not in his mind he had this eally fucked up vision of them on one horse while it rode the other ::-d

Kenya Kabal [1:42 P.M.]: Kenya giggled. 'No no silly, we're riding double now. Two of us on one horse..' She patted Black's neck. 'Black's not broken..so we should probably use Lollipop. The camp isn't that far. The nomads are pretty welcoming..you'll like them. and..they have honey.' Grin as she turned her face to his. -d-

Bram Draklore [1:47 P.M.]: :: he turned his face too hers :: nomands? :: he than looked too her horse and wondered if he could do what she did without killing himself ..he decided best not make a damn fool of himself...but she forgot one lil detail..how too stop the horse so he just assumed that if one click of the tongue got tit started a few more would stop it ..so dumbass dragon gave a few more clicks of his tongue and the horse too off like a bat out of hell ..which only made him put a death grip on the mount too keep from falling off ..the reins were as useles too him as wings were too the bear ..it was hard too say who had a wilder look in their eyes him or the horse ,,but he was pretty sure he was about too die..if he had known any of the bears cuss words he would have been screaming everyone of them the only word that came too mind he screamed :: LOST!! -D

Kenya Kabal [1:56 P.M.]: Kenya literally... hit the sands face first as Black shot off. Getting to feet she stared as Bram took off. 'Oh damn...' She murmured, then turned running towards Lolli and whistled. Lolli came running up alongside Kenya who skipped the reigns, grabbed the mane and swung up onto her back. 'Run like the wind, Lolli.. catch Black.' She murmured, leaning close to the horse's ear. As the closed in on the horse, Kenya shot a glance at Bram's panicked features. 'Let go...fly..Dragon.. Fly.. ' -d-

Bram Draklore [2:01 P.M.]: :: Yea he was pretty sure he was flyng already his mind was not in the moment cause he was fighting to stop this thing ..during his struggle without meaning too he put his heels too the horses flanks and thus only increased their speed..was no way in hell he could go turb dragon without crushing the horse and he wa pretty sure that would upset a lot of people.. arms locked in a death grip around the horses neck he hung on for dear life an started making death threats on the horse promising many ays too serve its ass up on a roasting spit... and all the time he kept scraeaming "LOST!!" his ass didnt need saving in the maze but it sure as hell needed aving now ...and right now he was praying their were no cliffs around here of they both be screwed ::-d

Kenya Kabal [2:06 P.M.]: Kenya stared at the death grip Bram had on the horse. Could you choke a horse out? Maybe, she saw a movie where a guy punched out a horse. 'BRAM LET GO! IT'S SAND..AND YOU'RE A DRAGON..IF YOU FALL YOU WON'T DIE...LET GO AND GLIDE..YOU HAVE WINGS FOR GODS SAKES!' d-

Bram Draklore [2:12 P.M.]: :: why was it always the painful ways that were the easiset ways out of a problem soo he let go and more or less just leaned over until he fell off the horse...than for about a 100 yards he went rolling across the sand leaving a trail of dust behind him ...when he finally came too a stop he was dizzy and had sand in places he didnt know he had!! and the friction burns from the sand he looked like he got into a fight with a sander...and lost ..slowly he sat up and spit out a mouth full of sand looking around::-d

Kenya Kabal [2:18 P.M.]: Kenya transferred horses again and quickly reigned Black in, then turned him back towards to Bram. Looking down at him, she frowned. 'Why didn't you just let go when I said to..you would have had time to shift to a dragon.. Raven does it all the time.' A soft sigh as she hopped down and moved to help dust him off. 'Are you hurt?' Concern etched features as she looked up at him. 'I think we'd better walk.' -f-

Bram Draklore [2:24 P.M.]: :: He stood up dusting himself off :: I did'nt want to take the chance on hurting the horse..:: he shook his head :: no I am fine ..nothing broken :: but he was embarrssed as hell ..dragons should be given a training course before going too worlds they have no clue about ..he took a deep breath :: sorry I dont seem to be adapting as well as I thought I would ..I will walk no need for you too .-:: a smile given too her ::-d

Kenya Kabal [2:26 P.M.]: Kenya looked up at him and smiled softly. 'No..its my fault. I should have thought this through..' Pause. 'No, that's not it. I supppose I did and opted for this just to be mean..' Petting Black's neck. 'told you humans can be dumb.' A small pout. 'I'm sorry.' -d-

Bram Draklore [2:30 P.M.]: soooo you were trying too kill me ? :: a touch of mirth in his tone of voice as he walked along side of her horse :: next time can you use a method that would be less...painful? :: said as he paused mid step to shake sand out of his pants leg before he continued too walk along side her :: no need too be sorry from hat i have heard dragons aint high on the well liked list on this world so its understandable -d

Kenya Kabal [2:39 P.M.]: 'no, its not the dragon part its more than that. I can't explain..but it sort of makes me mad, you didn't tell me you were here to date me.' Head lift. 'not so hot on the honesty part like Heartsblood. He let my mother know from the start, she was his one way or the other. I guess I thought that was the way it was supposed to go. You wanted to know about me.. well that's one thing...I'd like if you were straight with me.' -d-

Bram Draklore [2:43 P.M.]: :: he pondered this :: but I did make my intentions clear I gave you a courting gift which you accepted and when you gave me that gem ..in which I am still in trade talks too get back I just assumed you had accepted :: he looked up at her more than puzzled:: If you felt like you were mislead than the fault is mine and I am sorry it was not my intent not to be honest I just assumed since you knew raven an the others you knew some of our customs -d

Kenya Kabal [2:47 P.M.]: Kenya stopped in her tracks as her dark eyes narrowed, for a moment that murderous gleam crept into them. 'When you assume..you make an ass out of you and me. Learn right now..and fast. A Kabal..is no one's ass...not even a dragons.' Stomping off, she tugged on the reigns pulling the horses to the ridge and pointed to the camp below. 'There.. this the camp of Ahseem...they should have the honey you need for Snarf.' Her tone was low, but the edge to it there nonetheless. Something about his statement rubbed her wrong.-d-

Bram Draklore [2:53 P.M.]: ::now that just rubed him the wrong way ok he might have messed up but thi was not all his fault ...when he caught up with her he looked up with her :: before you go climbing my pillar your assuming too much yourself ,,I never said you were anyones ass and further more it was your brother who mad the arrangements ..SO it would seem we were both left in the dark because your brother failed to mention it too you and I was not talk you didnt know..:; why was it that when it came to courting int he house it a fight that being said he looked down upon the camp hoping they were friendly ::-d

Kenya Kabal [2:55 P.M.]: Kenya clentched a fist. 'Leave Tejar out of it. If he was trying to find a match for me, he wouldn't have picked a dragon.' Turning to face Bram she glared at him. 'this is what I meant. No one knows anything about the person. And no one explains anything. You said Snarf was a gift..a gift from a perfect stranger. It is our custom to at least return the courtesy in kind.. it doesn't mean I'm giving myself to you..or accepting anything more than the kindness of the gift given. Do you know how much damage that kind of thinking has wrought on us all? Raven wants to destroy the world because he's to stupid to shut up and listen.. or ask about something he doesn't understand.. My brother thinks he has to save the fucking world from Raven and can't be bothered to actually look at the world around him and see it falling apart. and.. you.. you're letting yourself be blindly led into a world of shit.. over the possibility of a mate...a mate...' She turned to glare at. 'who's quite possibily more insane than you could ever handle.' -d-

Bram Draklore [3:03 P.M.]: :: Bram palmed his fame an took a deep breath speaking calmly :: your brother is the one who asked raven if he knew any nice single dragons ..and yes I sent snarf too you very long ago not as a gift ..he needed a family someone who could take care of him an love him..it was all he ever wanted...as for raven too be honest it is not his fault...no one will ever know what his mother did to him all those years she had him imprisioned ..:: he paused listing to her and was about too say something be thought better of it ..he remained silent the rest of the way into the camp. when thy reached it he paused looking about takingin everything .he was so going to have too come up with a way to learn about this world ..scrolls a crystal ball hell he would settle for what ever the bear knew at this point ::-d

Kenya Kabal [3:09 P.M.]: Kenya stamped her foot. 'We're all broken. We've all been imprisoned in some way. Its nothing special, it doesn't give you permission to do as you please because you think its right..' Silence as he walked off. Kick of sand and stomp of feet as she unleashed a stream of curses that would have made Snarf proud. Lift of head she screamed after him. 'EXACTLY WHEN DO WE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR OWN ACTS THEN!! NOTHING IS RAVEN'S FAULT, OR TEJAR'S THEN WHO"S..THE PEOPLE THEY HURT?!?!?!' d-d

Bram Draklore [3:18 P.M.]: :: He turned looking at her not saying anything for a moment :: the fault is mine alone and I will take responsibity for it..it was never my intention too hurt you or anyone ..but it seems I have for that I am sorry .if it means anything ..which at this point I am unsure. but I will make amends for the insult . :: He took a few coins from the small pouch as he walked back over too her these he pressed into her hand :: for Snarfs honey ..I never break my word and I pay my own way .:: That being said he went back and found a place by one of the campfire an sat down when someone passed him a mug he didnt ask what it was he just drank it in silence and hey said draons had a temper. -d

Kenya Kabal [3:21 P.M.]: Kenya's mouth snapped shut as he handed her the coins and walked off. Teeth grind as she turned and really considered throwing them at his head. Instead she went off in a different direction to secure the honey. Ahseem came upon him watching Kenya stalk off. 'ah...the litte Street Rat has returned..and brings..a new mouse with her, yes?' -d-

Bram Draklore [3:22 P.M.]: :: blinks :: new mouse ? :: yea no idea what a mouse was but it didnt sound like it was anything good :: she always have a temper like that ? :: asked as he downed the content of the mug an asked for a refill ::-d

Kenya Kabal [3:26 P.M.]: 'The Street Rat.. never.. she's always been a happy little thing. Always laughing...time though..yes.. time changes a person. 'You come from the House no? You soon see.. always entertaining.. there.' Brow knit. 'Not a mouse to the master thief..ah..her concubine then.. she is a beauty..would bid to purchase her myself..if I were younger. 'd-

Bram Draklore [3:30 P.M.]: :: Bram looked at the man and blinked : wait,,,what?? what is a concubine? ad ya I am kinda new too this land so I am los as one can get right now ...:: he paused :: again what? she is a master thief? and she is for sale? :: te fact that he was having his first strong drink ever did not help the dragons mind as he downed another mug of what ever it was he was drinking but it did have a nice fruity taste too it :-d

Kenya Kabal [3:38 P.M.]: 'Aren't all women for sale, my friend. yes, that is the great Street Rat.. as the tales speak..there is not a treasure she will not risk life and limb for.' Frown. 'ah.. you are one of the others no less.. a concubine...whore.. bed warmer..' Nodding towards Kenya as she approached them. 'that one..would a prize in any harem. Look at those hips, made for breeding..her tits..' Ahseem sighed as he eyed Kenya. 'a pity she was ruined by being trained to use a blade.' -d-

Bram Draklore [3:43 P.M.]: :: Bram sat his drink down and stewed for about 3 seconds he might be new too this world but that there was killing words and now he was at his beyond pissed point ..he might not know kenya very well but callng her a bed warmer just set the dragon off ..Bram leapt on the man his hands going around his throat squeezing ..murderous rage in is eyes as he took the man too the ground pinning him...only one was going to walk away from this one and ya can bet it damn sure would be the dragon ::-d

Kenya Kabal [3:49 P.M.]: Ahseem's eyes widened as his hands flew to Bram's over his throat. 'ah...' gasp..wheeze...'the Street Rat's yours...' gasp...wheeze. 'apologies...i mean no offense.' 'may allah gift you many strong sons from her.' Would Kenya's voice in his head about now..as he a newcomer was about to choke the life from a human who was merely stating what he knew.. to be fact. ~when do we take responsibility for our own acts...ask when we don't know..assume..and make an ass out of us all. ~ -d-

Bram Draklore [3:57 P.M.]: :: this only pissed him off more an he squeezed harder and he screamed at the man:: dont know who this allah is but I dont want his blessings !! :: he let the man go a stood up . not saying a word he left the camp and began talking to himself ::: well done bram in a matter of hours you have offended one bout killed another..made a ass out of yourself and pretty much are a fucktard ...no damn wonder everyone hates us ...:: as he walked he wondered why things were starting too look a bit odd and out of focus ..and why was the night sky turning the wrong way ?-d

Kenya Kabal [4:03 P.M.]: Kenya reached Ahseem as Bram left him behind. Helping Ahseem up, she hastily made sure he was alright, before apologizing profusely to him, complete with bended knee and left hand folded over chest. Her head inclined to him as she offered her sincerest apologies again and again. Then explained fully. 'and so you see.. intended does not understand our ways..as humans for one, let alone..nomads, Egyptian, Roman nor Greek..and we, despite the dragons living among us..do not know their ways. ' -d-

Bram Draklore [4:13 P.M.]: :: when he was far away from the camp he just sat down on a dune looking up at the night sky ..he took a deep breath exhaling slowly ..than his hands began to move working with starlight helped him when his thoughts were jumbled ..the light was like fine silver stands as he began too weave patterens soon multiple stands were being woven carfully ..it had no plan shape he just likes the soft music they mad when they passed through one another ..as he sat there he became lost in his thoughts wondering how he was going too fix things if they could be fix ..worst case outcome the elders could use his hide for a new rug .-d

Kenya Kabal [4:22 P.M.]: and such.. Bram entered the same pattern as the others. Since Bram left her behind, with the help of two men, she secured the large jugs of honey to Black and began the walk back to House. Swinging up on Lollipop's back she held the reigns on Black in one hand and shot a glance to Bram as they neared him. She watched him in silence on the dune, as he appreared to be thinking. Curious, she slid off the horse and led them both to him. Sitting down beside him she looked up as he was not really seeing anything but twinkling stars. 'what are you doing?' she asked softly, tilting her head a bit towards him. -d-

[Jester Dreamer Thief]

and in New York......


Sharing Tears [8:08 P.M.]: New York..again. Since it seemed something was going and the male dragons were fleeing Egypt for the lives, Shadow had them there so he could be with his brother and Heartsblood. Not that she minded. NY was pretty cool. Good eats too. That being said, it was over a plate of ribs, she was zapped..along with Shadow. Talk about reducing them both flailing masses of flesh for about three minutes. Shadow's magic shifted from him to her and her wolf lost its mind! It took Shadow two full days to track his freaked out mate down it the bowery. Caution was a factor since every step he took towards her and her to him, lightening shot out haphazardly. He literally had been fried twice, before he could her wolf to stop thinking about being struck lightening, which was what it had felt like for her. Three days later, Shar was somewhat..normal. At least for a wolf now posessing Dragon abilities. -d-

ShadowHawk [8:17 P.M.]: :: Shadow put a death grip on the ribs and was about too enjoy his first bite when he felt like someone yanked his tail so hard his tonsils popped out his ass ..his most powerful draggy powers ..GONE!! three days later he was standing there looking at his wife a odd lil grin on his lips even with limited powers he was finding this experience ..amusing...just for fun he walked over to her and whispered in her ear ohh so very softly :: do you have the urge too eat humans yet ...bbq'ed?-d

Sharing Tears [8:21 P.M.]: Shar turned her head to him and smiled. So easy it was to smile for him, when everyone else tended to get little more than a growl. Lift of head as she turned to wrap her arms around his neck and pull him towards him. 'maybe...just one..not so human.' Lift of head to give him a soft kiss. Laying back on the couch she played with his hair. 'What's all this about anyway?' Shadow really hadn't had the chance to explain considering Shar had been a touch all.. growly and blowing up everything she saw when the transfer first hit. -d-

ShadowHawk [8:25 P.M.]: :: He smiled softly as he returned the kiss ,while she got comfy he explained :: well from what I was told...this is the result for turning everyone into kids ...it seems the elders feel I take things such as wishes out of context...that an the fact nans honey moon was cut short. soo you got 90% of my powers ..same thing happened to raven and inanna....thy feel it is a long over due lesson on how not to be throwing magic around when ever we feel like it ..I am still blaming Raven though ..he started this :: said as he put his arms around her :: it wont be too bad ..I dont mind not having powers for a while I have all I really ned right here :: a soft kiss stolen from her lips as he hugged her ::-d

Sharing Tears [8:29 P.M.]: Shar moved again and shifted around to straddle Shadow's hips. 'So.. I'm like the Crypt Keeper for now. Holding on to your magic until you get a grip..' She chuckled pressing her forehead to his. 'if its any consolation.. you stand a faster chance of that happening than Raven does, don't you think?' -d-

ShadowHawk [8:33 P.M.]: perhaps ..:: said as he looked up at her a smirk given :: I mean I do not have too deal with house issues ,,,the parrot or the bear ...and the new house guest.:: at this he could not help but laugh :: though I would give a weeks worth of ribs to be a fly on the wall about now :: He brushed his lips over hers as he spoke :: I think you will make a fine wolf dragon ..wonder if there will be sside effects too this.-d

Sharing Tears [8:37 P.M.]: Shar eyed him. 'But, I don't want to be a wolf dragon, Shadow. I want to be Sharing Tears, the Huntress, mate of Shadow Hawk. That's it.' Dragging her hands down his chest, she unbuttoned his shirt. 'if you ask me.. your Elders are as clueless as you and Raven can be. What if giving me your magic does have side effects..' Her hands stilled on his chest as her eyes narrowed. 'like Drahden's experiments on my wolf.' Her healing factor had been permenently screwed up beyond repair. 'They could have killed me then and there..and where would that leave you, my Shadow. To return to your solace..because another's act took me from you, for your own good to teach you a lesson.' Wolf logic could be brutal. -d-

ShadowHawk [8:45 P.M.]: :: he smiled :: your safe my word of honor ...and you will always be the wolf ...my wolf......:: he paused in thought and wondered a moment :: you know my heart ...this my have a hidden perk we have not thought of ...as you know us dragons heal very quickly we can even re grow missing limbs...due too our magic....so I am wondering if just maybe this might repair whatt hat bastard messed up inside you .:: he pulled her tight to him in a strong hug :: nothig is going to happen too you my heart ..the elders would never put anyone of you in danger.-d

Sharing Tears [8:49 P.M.]: Shar nodded tugging his shirt from jeans and sliding it back off shoulders before leaning to nuzzle his neck. 'Maybe..but I didn't..and still don't. Your Elders are taking a gamble, don't you think? I am human and wolf. I am not of magic..just born as you see. You are a Dragon, draped in human skin because you chose a mate that wasn't a dragon. You're pure magic.' A kiss to his forehead. 'from tip...to tail.' She murmured, before kissing his lips softly. 'I do not care if my healing factor fails completely. My mate protects me, and should I die.. I will die knowing I loved..and was loved in return.' Rocking back she slid further from him to lick at his chest. 'though it does help, the skin you wear is hot as hell.' Suckle and scoot back up on his lap. -d-

ShadowHawk [8:57 P.M.]: :: he thought bout this a moment she was making it difficult to focus ..:: if it will ease your mind I shall speak too them about it .I do not want you worring yourself sick an loosing sleep over this :: he kised her sweetly arms wrapping back around her and had too laugh at the skin remark :: all too impress you my dear lil wolf . and for the record sometimes being a dragon aint all its cracked up too be but it does have its perks :: a wiggle of brows as he held her while he turned over on the couch this pinning her beneath him ..:: we do have certain ..talents :: said as he tore the buttons off her shirt one by one and spit them into the floor ::: this dragon for example has a huge sweet tooth for one certain lil wolf...:: he laughed softly as he took hold of her wrists and held them up over her head as he used his mouth to open her shirt ..with it out of the way he placed a soft trail of kiss's over the top of her breasts -d

Sharing Tears [9:05 P.M.]: 'Its not that I worry..though it does concern me, these Elders..did not consider these issues before doing such. If you ask me, again.. its as I said..dragons..all of you it seems take for granted, they know best...and as you can see... they do not.' Arching up against his mouth, she ran her nails through his hair. 'Had they, I'm sure they would have warned thier favored son..to beware the wolf girl.' Grinning she pulled on his head until she could kiss and rolled them both off the couch to the floor. -d-

ShadowHawk [9:10 P.M.]: :: Laughing as they tumbled into the floor he made sure he cushioned her fall :: perhaps there needs to be more meetings of the mind ..even if I was not a dragon I would still love you and being here with you ...:: that's when he smirked :: though I would request that I be able to keep my forked tongue ,,it does have its ,uses..:: laughing he tickled her sides it was so easy being himself with her ..everyone else he wanted to lock away in a small room with the bear and parrot ...death by jibber jabber :: I think like us they mean well but never really had much contact with this world...perhaps it will get better once nan and inanna are on the council ...and some common ground can be found -d

Sharing Tears [9:21 P.M.]: Shar eyed him a moment. 'I believe, you're in that position now..don't you think?' She paused. 'Inanna and Nan are to sit on this council as well?' Brow knit in confusion before she let it go. 'Perhaps.' Since being a kid, Inanna and Shar had been forced to come to some happy medium. The old woman 'Grandmother' as Shar had opted to call her said it was along time in coming. Neither of them could kill each as they were mated to brothers and thus, family. They could go outside and kick each others asses til they exhausted each other, nothing would change that. Once again, Shadow had her hands above her head as he nipped at her and made thinking a bit hard. He was right, there was something to be said for a forked tongue. A low groaning growl from her and her wolf as she focused on her mate. So lovely. 'let's hope for the best. As for you, Shadow Hawk..what are you supposed to be learning from this little punishment?' She smiled.-d-

ShadowHawk [9:31 P.M.]: how to not take things so literally when someone else says something like ohh I wish this or ohh why dont you just make us all kids ...in truth i was just trying to be helpful but at the same time ya have too admit I can be ..one clueless dragon? yes? :: as he talked his tongue flicked his tongue over her nippes teasing her :: Raven he has anger issues ...believe it or not he wants orde rin the house ....of late there has been very little of that...everyone doing their own thing picking battles on 3 different fronts which will sooner or late bleed over into the house ..I know kenya and tejar are not his kids but he thinks of them as his own and would kill for as he would for any of us..we go to extremes too protect those we love . :: a teasing growl as he nibbled on her nipples who said one could not talk with their mouths full? he could multitask with the best of them-d

Sharing Tears [9:37 P.M.]: She had to ask. Her mind really wanted to focus on his words, while her body would much rather focus on his mouth. A soft moan as Shar let him have his way with her body. 'Raven should have done his part long ago. He is Inanna's problem to deal with, now. As you are mine.' Her breath caught as he nibbled on her. God he'd figured the art of sex out almost instantly, when they'd gotten around to actually sleeping together. He could shut her brain down with a look and short circuit everything else with a kiss or mere touch. What had they been talking about again? 'Tejar and Kenya are his children..he need only take those two before they are gone as Kejar is.' Her hands slid into his hair. It was getting harder and harder to think, when all she really wanted was him, a bed and maybe a some whipped cream. 'In any case, for now, its thier issue to sort. We're here, they are in Egypt..' Tug on hair as she turned his head to lick at his neck and shoulder. Apparently, the memo she was supposed to travel to Egypt hadn't been received.-d-

ShadowHawk [9:49 P.M.]: :: he grinned at her thoughts ,letting go of her wrists his hands unbuttoned her jeans and with a few well placed tugs they were down around her ankles :: whipped cream huh? maybe of I moved my tongue fast enough I might be able too whip some up :: yea bad joke he was still working on witty puns ..sly grin as his lips trailed down over her stomach soft kiss's placed on her skin .making lil remarks as he did :: as for myself I have found I enjoy lakota cream...it does a young dragon good you know. :: a soft chuckle as he reached down and finished removing her jeans ..tossing them over on the couch than gave her sides a tickle::-d

Sharing Tears [9:55 P.M.]: Shar burst out into luaghter as she was actually rather ticklish. Curling against his fingers she rocked side to side, drawing her legs up. Reduced to panties and topless she scrambled from his grasp. 'Is that so huh? But, you've been a naughty dragon.' She teased. One hand raise to hide her breasts from his eyes. 'I'm not sure you deserve any kinda cream.' Now that she was free of him for a moment, she frowned a bit. 'Um Shadow...you said Raven and Heartsblood were, without their mates...and Tejar's got issues..exactly who..is watching over Raven and Heartsblood...while their..roaming the city....alone?' And just like calling upon the devil himself... CRASH. In through the door came the two dragons looking haggard. Heartsblood blinked at Shar, Raven, stared at his brother. 'bad time?' -d-

ShadowHawk [10:00 P.M.]: :: He thought aboout this but just as he was about to answer and give her one wicked tongue lashing the door crashed in and he blinked seeing traven and hearts ...for a moment he said not a word than he just burt out laughing his ass off and shared images in his mind with Shar about all the times raven had gone to touch snake tits an the moment he had them in his talons Tejar would pop in witthe need too have a talk with raven.......he laughed even harder as he looked to his mate an said :: I think this is becoming a curse of some kind :: he had no shame but he was not about to share the half naked view of his mate ..pulling a blanket off the couch he covered her up before she killed him ..sitting up he looked to the other :: you know you owe me a door ..now since your both here thatmeans only one of 2 things ..something very bad is happening or you done pissed your mates off an ya need to borrow my boat to go fishing -d

Sharing Tears [10:06 P.M.]: The images flicked in her mind and she chuckled. 'So Raven's insane due to lack of sex?' She smirked keeping her breasts covered. As Shadow covered her, Heartsblood arched a brow. 'What's wrong with Shar's ass?' Pointing to her boy shorts that read 'BAD ASS' across them before Shadow covered her. Raven sighed and moved to flop on the couch. 'Yeah yeah.. I'll pay for it, like everything else. And no, we haven't pissed the wives off, we'd need to be able to get to them to that. With all this going on and Bram being there, we've been bumped down to errand boys..which is oddly safer than being in the House.' Heartsblood shrugged. 'Debatable, the grocery store is a horrible horrible place to visit.' He too, joined Raven on the couch. Shar chuckled and turned her face to Shadow, sliding a hand over his cheek before kissing him. 'Looks like you guys need to have some time alone together. I'll be upstairs.' Turning to Raven and Heart she smiled. 'Try not to end up in jail with my mate, if you go out.' -d-

ShadowHawk [10:14 P.M.]: :: Shadow just blinked how the hell did he go from fondlinf her tits to playing host ..what was more disturbing was the fact he had no warning of their coming ..which was odd he always knew when his twin was near ,,he was chaulking that up to the fact he was too busy teasign his mate ..he looked too the 2 than too Shar than back too them :: this better be damnn good like someone better be a dying :: He got up off the floor and hoped like hell Shar was just going up there too get dressed an would be back soon...meanwhile since he ws now a host he went too the fridge tooo out some root beers and tosed them too the others :: so whats going on -d

Sharing Tears [10:19 P.M.]: Heartsblood was younger and spent far less time among those in NY, he'd barely gotten used to the humans in Egypt who tended to run unless Nan was with him. 'I want my mate, this place makes no sense. They are worse here than in Egypt. Bram has come no doubt to claim a mate yet, in doing so, he robs of us ours.' Hearts dropped his head back against the couch. Being newly mated compared to the other two, the seperation was getting to him. Raven nodded catching both cans before one struck Hearts in the head the poor red dragon was so in despair he didn't see it coming. 'Get used to it. I was robbed of my wife after the hatchlings were born. I don't think I could pick my wife's tits out of a line up if my life depended upon it.' Meanwhile, upstairs, nope, Shar meant it. Guy time. The Dragons should learn the art of it. Hanging with the guys. Of course, he'd been a naughty dragon and was being punished. Settling on their bed, she dropped the blanket and thought really hard focusing on Shadow, and let the naughty thoughts of them together be..shared with him..while he spoke with his kin. -d-

ShadowHawk [10:25 P.M.]: :: blinks and tries too focus which was hard damnit !! dragons the new form of birth control and killing intimate evening :: alright I am lost here .what does this bram have to do with anything concerning your mates ? and why ..:: paused as shars mind hit his with images ...ohh she was having wayyyy to much fun with him but gods he had to love her she gave as good as she got :: so you 2 are titless at the moment because this bram came to claima mate?? who the hell did he come too claim ? :: while he waited for a answer he sent his own thoughts too shar of her lil ass being tied down and teased without mercy with every device the dragon had at his disposal::-d

Sharing Tears [10:28 P.M.]: Raven shrugged. 'How the hell should I know. No one tells me anything. All I know Inanna and Nan are planning a dinner, males are not to attend, according to Bram and why would the Elders send him if that wasn't the reason, we haven't seen him eons..they could have just shown up, or sent some other dragon.' Careful, what you wish for. This was the dragon equivalent of phone sex, or sexting. He started it with that response. Shar rolled over and opened a drawer. Grabbing a toy, she turned it on and moved to stand before a mirror. Sliding the toy over her boy shorts she shared that image with her mate. Heartsblood shrugged. 'factor in its mating season. It does make sense. All single dragons are looking for mates.' Taking his rootbeer he opened it. 'Any sane dragon with half a brain should be buried balls deep in his mate.' -d-

ShadowHawk [10:34 P.M.]: :: Shadow was doing his best to figure this out thus he looked too Hearts :: ok tell me everything you know if there is to be a dinner Nan would have something to do with it and your always with her and <chokes as he get the image of what his mate was doing .. bob was going to have a accident one of these days very soon> composing himself he looked back too Hearts and his jaw ticked at the balls deep in the mate part : 'ya think??!!' asked as he cracked his root beer open and downed half it no wonder raven had anger issues. Shadow got this fucked up image in his mind of his twin being so frustrated from lack of banging his mate that his head imploded. He was doing his best too stay focused but 70% of his brain was focused on what his loving mate was doing to drive him insane ::-d

Sharing Tears [10:39 P.M.]: And loving she was as she tossed the toy over shoulder. She preferred one cock..and it was attached to him. Opening the closet she fished out one of his shirts and donned it, then crawled on the bed. Laying against the pillows, she smiled as she stared at the closed door, recalling the first time Shadow realized, wolves went into heat..and the night they shared destroying an entire hotel suite. It'd been the first time they'd ever slept together and he'd been pretty hard pressed to pry her mouth off of parts of his anatomy. Go figure. Raven kicked a foot up on the coffee table. 'Bram showed up, next thing I know I'm powerless, Nan's ordered every chicken in Alexandria be brought to the House, Snarf...is eerily well behaved and my wife...frighteningly..silent.' Heartsblood nodded. 'My mate rises even earlier, and comes to bed even later..I believe she's asleep before her head hits my chest. The Elders coming, does little to calm the state as everyone is scurrying about. What vexes is me.. is we are barred from this event. I would have reason why? Should we not all celebrate the council ruling..it involves our mates. I want to see my mate take her seat..raise my roar in approval..and am denied this. It makes no sense.' -d-

ShadowHawk [10:49 P.M.]: :: Shadow held up a hand :: excuse me for a moment :; he took a deep breath and closed his eyes ...this would be faster than waiting for those too to get the story out he would speak too the elders directly ..he opened his mind fully too them and spoke :: forgive the intrusion but I have raven and shadow here going on about a dinner ,seats on the council and someone named bram coming to find a mate ..if I my ask can you please expand on this . There was soft laughter in the distance and a soft voice spoke :: he got put out of the kithens did he ? :: another round of laughter was heard before the answers came :: Inanna,Shar,Nan,Kenya and the 2 of the hatchlings are too attend us ...for a formal dinner as is custom ...as you know this is a private affair what is called in their world as womens talk..ball gowns are being sent too the house for all the ladies ..and once we have annouced the outcome than the males will be called in ..so tell hearts to stop moaning over a few mised sweet rolls :: there was
another soft laugh and than since shar was still conected too his thoughts they spoke too her :: we look forward too seeing you dear ..be sure too keep this young one in line :: the connection was than broken and Shadow sat there doinghis best not too laugh as he opened his eyes and looked to raven :: chicken shit I know why your here now your tryig to get out of putting Inanna in a dress ! I just spoke to the elders they told me everything-d

Sharing Tears [10:59 P.M.]: Raven snorted. 'why would I put my wife in a dress when I've been trying to get her out of one for the last six years!' Heartsblood looked at Raven and Shadow. 'what did they say?' Upstairs a thump echoed as Shar got the shock of her life.Wasn't every day she heard voices in her head and fell off the bed. 'Ow.' Rubbing her head as she'd clipped it on the nightstand.-d-

ShadowHawk [11:04 P.M.]: :: Shadow had a death wish perhaps as he turned looking up the stairs hearing a thud ,he turned back laughing softly :: someone just found out she has too wear a ball gown as well ...and the reason the men are not invited from what I gather is there is some formal arrangements to be discussed that at the moment does not concern us ,,once these are ot of the way than we may pass into the grand chambers ..they call it womens talk I think it has to do with the one called kenya I was not given details nor did I pry I am in enough trouble . :: he looked bck up the stairs :: you ok up there Shar?-d

Sharing Tears [11:09 P.M.]: Heartsblood frowned. As Raven claimed Tejar as a son, Heartsblood claimed Kenya. 'What about Kenya?' Growl. 'They can't think to put Bram with my mate's only baby girl child!' Raven slid a hand over his cheek. 'tejar's gonna shit a brick.' Shar didn't respond. Clipping her head kinda hurt. Finding out she had to go to this shin-dig and wear a gown..didn't help. Sitting on the floor, the Huntress looked a little shell shocked. In the next instant, all Shadow saw was the first and only time Shar had been in the House, attired in Egyptian clothing, hanging off a balcony trying to find a way out. What do you know.. she couldn't find a place to hide a gun in that outfit. -d-

ShadowHawk [11:16 P.M.]: :: Shadow just pointed to Raven :: Tejars idea he asked raven to arrange it :: once again he paused an laughed at what she was thinking ..and made a note to hide all her guns before the dinner ,than he looked to Hearts:: have you forgotten yourself ? who better than a dragon. think about before you get pissy..if it works out .he will always be with her,,,,,he will always love her ,,,he will never cheat on her .she will be a queen in his eyes and give his life to keep her safe...this is us..who we are in case you have forgotten so much. perhaps that is why tejar made the request.yes we can be .......chaos at times but we do have honor -d

Sharing Tears [11:21 P.M.]: Heartsblood nodded. 'I have no qualms with a dragon mate for her, especially if it is as you say, Tejar's request..but Bram...he's nothing like Kenya. She's far to free spirited and loving for such a boring dragon who lives among the stars.' Head rolled back. 'If it is as you say.. then Raven and I can return to our mates and do not need to be here.' That thought in mind the younger dragon set his drink on the table. 'then.. I shall return. Having my mate asleep beside me is better than nothing.' A kick to Raven. 'Get up.. you can at least claim your Queen of Snakes' nights if her days take you from her. Until this is over, something is better than nothing. We've taken enough of Shadow's time. Considering the state he's in..and the season we're depriving him of precious time.' Raven looked up at Shadow. Somehow, Raven just couldn't picture Shadow getting down to business with a mate. 'I'll fix the door on our way out. Tend to your mate.' Raven said as he embraced his brother and headed for the destroyed door. He had just enough command of magic to repair it..and leave a 'DO NOT DISTURB' sign on it. -f-

ShadowHawk [11:28 P.M.]: :: he palmed his face as they left ,he would not need a sign if certain dragons learned too knock..once they were gone he finished his root beer an ventured upstairs ..she had been way too quite an now he was curious. Entering the bedroom he leaned on the door way watching her :: gold coin for your thoughts-d

Sharing Tears [11:30 P.M.]: Shar jerked her head up and slammed it against the nightstand behind her she was lost in thoughts of all the escape routes of the House. 'Ow...fuck a duck..that hurt.' Rubbing the back of her head she reached out a hand to him to help her up off the floor. 'Did they leave? I thought maybe you guys would go out or something.. do..guy shit..ya know.' -d-

ShadowHawk [11:33 P.M.]: :: He helped her up an very gently kissed the spot on her head that she just put a knot on then took her in his arms :: lets see a choice of going out with the guys or staying home with you snuggling by a warm fire ...........you would win every time ..dont get me wrong love the family, but they can't pull off the 'bad ass' panties like you can :: said as he shook with laughter :-d

Sharing Tears [11:34 P.M.]: Shar smiled, sliding her arms around his neck. 'You bet your ass they can't.' She laughed kissing his neck. 'so....you wanna snuggle?' -d-

[raven]

Onward!!!.....Meanwhile back at dragon home........after weeks of prepping the day of feasting drew near..it had been no easy task to put together such a massive amount of food an drink ..needless too say the female patriarch's of the dragon clan kept the males jumping and very busy they were the hunters after all and they were tasked with bringing in everything that was required to insure the ceremony went off without any problems. The aromas of breads,slow roasted meats,fresh baked pastries,pie's,and cakes filled the home under the mountain's with only a few minor incident's when a bold youngster tried to pilfer a slap of meat or sweet roll... more than one was walking around with a giant size rolling pin knot on the noggins.One had to wonder where they had learned that lil trick from.
The grand hall had been swept and cleaned within a inch of its life. The tables and chairs had been polished until one could see their own refection. Now dragons being who they are loved things rich in color and beauty . Rich tapestries hung from the ceiling each depicting those who would be being honored at the feast , There was one of Inanna and on either side those of her children, than there was Nan,Shar,an Kenya.
All was ready so now came the hardest part of all.......

Back at the house of lords Raven stood outside in the hallway a lil out of breath an sporting a black eye his fist banging on the door . " Damnit open this door snake!! it is just for one lil feast!! wearing a gown for a lil bit will not kill you !! ' on the other side of the door there was a loud hiss an glassware shattered on the door" ' YOU HAVE LOST YOUR DAMN MIND IF YOU THINK I AM GOING TO WEAR ANYTHING PINK!! "
Now unknown to the both of them they were victims of their own childrens twisted sense of humor for they had swapped out the gown sent by the elders for one that was a blinding pink with lil powder blue ruffles down the back. and at the moment were betting on just how long their father had to live before mom tore him a new one...

Meanwhile Shadow was having his own problems not as serious as raven getting his head taken off just that he was trying to explain to his cupcake that she could not wear her boots under the gown..this led to ' The Look' with arms crossed over her chest as she calmly stared him down one of those hell bent gonna do it kinda looks. ' here's the deal puff...if I don't get to wear my boots that you can bet your sweet scaly ass that it will be a very very long time before you ever see my ass naked again...so you best think on that ." ...........

And back at the house....... Bram was still trying to adjust to things....unlike his kin he rarely used magic preferring to do things himself right down cooking his own meals .At the moment he was quietly laying at the bottom of the bathing pool enjoying a good soaking and enjoying the view watching Kenya bath and play in the water. He found her a curious creature at times and had gotten intot he habit of watching her when she was unaware he was around..ok so he had used a lil magic to blend into the color of the bottom of the poor. But everyone should know by now all dragons had a lil pervert in them .................................
