Roleplay

[quote=Valentine][center][img]http://i58.tinypic.com/30kxapk.png[/img][/center] The Guardian's nostrils flared, though his eyes remained riveted to the scene before him, for the glimpse of Zion he caught through the corner of his eye was enough. About five different dragons, all appearing quite unhealthy, lay in fitful sleep among a dozen other empty nests, belonging to the unlucky ones who were still on duty. The Guardian spoke, his voice low and not exactly pleasant. [b]"Why don't you come down here and get a better look, pretty boy."[/b] He rumbled. [b]"I'll show you a thing or two about scales."[/b] Valentine watched from her perch in anticipation, staying low in the branches. The sound of the Guardians voice nearly made her knees quake. [i]Suck it up, wuss.[/i] She scolded herself, craning her neck to get a view of what the brute was guarding. [i]You're not the one in danger here.[/i] [/quote] @Amariex

[quote=The Guardian ] He couldn't stay put after the string of insults the wildclaw had just spewed on him, and to his credit, he had a feeling they wouldn't stop there. The Guardian's head turned and he forced himself up, anger plastered all over his face. Looks weren't exactly something he cared about, but there wasn't a chance in a lifetime where the brute would just sit idle and take any sort of abuse. Verbal, or physical. [b]"You talk awfully big for such a weak looking dragon."[/b] He growled, lashing his tail. [/quote] @Amariex

[quote=The Guardian ] [b]"That's it."[/b] The guard growled, forgetting about his duties. Stepping away from the tree line, he spread his weathered wings and lifted himself into the air, a bit clumsily. The leaves rattled on the trees with the wind he generated, which only served to provide cover for Valentine, whether he knew it or not. [b]"If you're to much of a coward to come down, I'll come up."[/quote] [quote=Valentine] Valentine was making her way towards the nests, half climbing and half gliding from branch to branch. in the time the two had been going back and forth, she'd covered the distance around the clearing. She crouched low on her branch, just on the edge of the make-shift den. All five of the servants had awoken, and two had already run off into the woods, assumingly to avoid the conflict. They were all smaller-breed dragons, but so was she. It killed Valentine that she couldn't take them all, but she only had two hands, and there was only one she thought she could carry. Even then, it would be a challenge. [/quote] @Amariex

[quote=The Guardian] With a deep, rumbling roar, the Guardian propelled himself in the air, caring nothing for grace. He made a B-line straight for the agitating Wildclaw, his naw gaping to reveal two rows of large, sharp teeth. Extending his neck, he clamped his jaws down on where he estimated Zion to be, bobbing up and down with each flap of his wings. [/quote] [quote=Valentine] The second the Guardian made his move, Valentine turned her attention to the young Pearlcatcher below her, confident that Zion had him completely distracted. Swooping down, she grabbed him, wrapping her arms around his chest. She could feel him stiffen in surprise, and quickly shushed him before he could scream. [b]"Shh. We're getting you out of here. So shut up."[/b] Valentine instructed tersely, gliding back up into the air. The Pearlcatcher was heavy, but thankfully, he was cooperative. It took all her strength to keep herself and him aloft. She couldn't look back to see that Zion knew the job had been accomplished, so she just had to trust that he could get himself out of there. For now, her main concern was getting the young dragon to safety.[/quote] [[ @Amariex Would you mind skipping to when they both arrive at the Deepheart? We need to wrap this up before the feast. ]]

[quote=Valentine] Valentine landed on a wide ledge, setting the Pearlcatcher down with aching arms. He'd been surprisingly cooperative throughout the entire venture, but Valentine had felt him shaking and knew that he must be terrified. She listened to Zion's mocking comments, rolling her eyes but finding she couldn't hold back a smile. They'd done it. They'd actually done it. While he talked, she checked the young one over, sitting close to him with her wing on his back. [b]"That was some top notch teamwork we had going on." "I suppose we need to notify someone about this now,"[/b] [b]"Because with the power of annoyance and jumping from branch to branch, they're nothing we can't do."[/b] Valentine laughed softly, going quite at the mention of telling someone about their little adventure. She was afraid about how they'd react to having a former rouge captive among them. There'd be thoughts of spying for sure- not to mention what they'd think of her. [b]"Your leader or mine?"[/b] [/quote] [quote=Ricis] [b]"How's the little one holding up?"[/b] Risis just nodded shakily, not really meaning anything by it, but not wanting to respond either. He didn't know whether to believe his luck or not. The pair seemed nice enough, but everything had just happened so quickly. [/quote] @Amariex Thanks. :)
