{This is the main headquarters of Haishin's army. Only those on his side are allowed to see the halls within. The only time any pet from Anthony's army should be here is if they're being interogated/ trying to rescue a captive. If you would like to join, post here: http://landsofevelon.com/forum.....php?t=4061 }

Venin ~~~ K?°osz

"Hey, hey!" shouted the Venom Rollaby, bouncing on his toes. The Polly turned to stare at him. Venin was usually funny. Oddly funny for someone in Haishin's family.

The Rollaby nodded to his audience of one, hopped up the stone stairs to their leader's chair, and promptly flopped down in it. His tail hung over one arm, head resting on the other. One foot tapped the air in a bored manner.

Suddenly, his gaze turned to look at the Polly. "Hay, there!" he shouted, attempting to make his voice deeper than it really was. "Didn't I, Haisin, soon-to-be Lord of All the Land, tell you to go fetch me... something to eat?"

The Polly doubled over in laughter. That was one of Venin's best impressions yet. Not to mention it sounded like something Haishin would bellow across the torch-lit chamber.

"That's a good one!"

[Kestrel]

Feather Storm fluttered into their base, with Red Storm at her side, as usual.
"Hello. I am Feather Storm and this is Red Storm. Don't worry, we're on Haishin's side, too. So... you are?" After saying all of this, she turned to her mate and did a series of body and wing movements.
"Did you hear about Kotsuzui and Ydin's success? And they even captured Moria! I wondered when everyone else is coming..."
Feather Storm wasn't usually this talkative. She was more action then talking. But right now, there was nothing to do. She sighed and wondered what the Rollaby be had been doing. The Polly seemed pretty amused when they first arrived, at least.
Red Storm wondered where everyone was. There was only 2 people, besides them. Shouldn't there've been more?

K?°osz wiped a tear from his eye with one wing and turned, happy to see two more avians. He squawked loudly. "Red Storm and Feather Storm, eh?" he said. "I'm K?°osz. Glad to meet ya."

Venin jumped from his perch on the chair and bounced over to the birds. He nodded from one Turkizilla to another, then said, "I'm Venin," in a rather cheerful tone. "You mentioned Kotsu and Ydin. They should be back soon, so we can ask them all about what happened."

As if on cue, Kotsu and Ydin entered the room. Kotsu trotted out front, head held high with a grin of triumph on his face. Ydin plodded along behind, a Graffiti Albie draped over his back. He would occasionally glance back to make sure she was still... well... alive.

"Hey, everybody!" Kotsu shouted, his voice echoing around the chamber. "Where's Haishin-sama?"

[Kestrel]

"Haishin's suppose to be in a battle with Anthony," Red Storm whispered, his voice barely audible.
Hearing her mate, Feather Storm whirled around, and once again started talking to him in their language.
Turning back to the others, she explained, "He's not suppose to talk. It can get him very confused for a few hours, since he's deaf."
Noticing the Albie, she added, "Is that Moria? And which of you is Ydin, and which is Kotsu?"
At this point, Red Storm started 'talking' to Feather Storm. She nodded occasionally, but otherwise didn't do anything at all.
"Red Storm wants to know how the battle went, if you two were injured, how it was started, who launched the first attack, if the landscape helped at all, who delivered the final blow, and the likes. And Red Storm is him, obviously," Feather Storm pointed to the Turkezilla behind her. "And I am Feather Storm."

Kotsu grinned. This was why he loved fighting. Everyone always wanted to know how it went.

"I'm Kotsu. That's Ydin. The battle was easy, but the rocks weren't much help. She tried to bite my leg off. Almost managed it too. But Ydin caughted her off guard with his fire." He glanced back at his companion, who nodded in agreement. "The fire knocked her out, and we brought her back alive just as Haishin-sama wanted." He'd just left out the part where Moria had bitten his leg while he missed his attack.

Ydin gently lifted the unconcious Albie from his back and laid her down near Haishin's "throne." She'd probably need something to eat when she woke up. But for now, she would be fine.

K'san


Ra'ire

A pair of Garagnirs flew into the area.
"Hmm.."
The qarried one landed just before his tarnished brother. They were here to just hang out at their new headquarters for a while. Maye await some sort of battle set up for them. His large form bent and shrunk into the form of a human. He dusted his dark clothing and entered the building.

The tarnished garagnir did the same as the first, following his brother silently into their latest adventure. He thought of everything as an adventure, but battling was what he wanted to do, and so for his brother too.

They followed the sound of voices and entered a room. Quite a few others were here too. Both bowed with old-world courtesy and introduced themselves.
"I am K'san, and this is my brother Ra'ire."
"We are here to help Haishin's cause."

[7][7]

[Kestrel]

(Exactly which is Kotsu and which is Ydin?)

"Did you hear about Kotsu and Ydin's victory?" Red Storm immediately asked, earning another lecture from his mate.

Glaring at him, Feather Storm addressed the humans. "I'm Feather Storm and that's Red Storm. He's deaf, and it isn't good for him to talk, even just a little." Finally turning around, she noticed that the new entrants were humans. "Do you have another form, or are you just humans?" she asked warily. Humans wouldn't be able to help them very much.

Looking around, she decided that she and Red Storm could be helpful be getting the place ready for more people. Some paper would be helpful, too, if any of them could write. Plans, maps, and other things could be written down on them to show everyone. And some chairs and beds would make if much more comfortable. Nests for the birds, and whatever kind of bed the others would like. A table for eating or two. She didn't know how many people were coming.

Quickly, she told this all to Red Storm, and with a quick explanation to the others, the two soared out, to snatch the ideas away.

The brothers looked at the large birds before them. Ra'ire shrugged, but K'san remained still.
"We are not mere humans. We've only assumed this form to fit through the doors. We are naturally much, much larger than this."
"We are garagnirs. Only four of us within our pen. Our sisters decided to stay out of this."

Ra'ire moved across the room and sat on a plain desk. His brother, though, held his position near the door, looking over the strangers who would eventually become partners.

[8][8]

[Azura Rayume]

K?°osz fluttered on his perch, a sconce high above the heads of the others. The sight of the humans unnerved him, even though he knew they were really huge rock dragons. Still, humans always made him nervous. His family had been captured by humans when he was little, and that had driven him to live with Haishin.

Venin rolled up to Ra'ire, sniffing him inquisitively. "Yeah, he's a Garagnir all right," the little Rollaby confirmed with a curt nod.

Kotsu strolled up to sit beside his small "brother." "How can ya' tell?" he asked, sniffing as well.

"He smells like rocks."

"Ah."

Ydin hung back, perferring to guard their captive, however unconcious. The Gyrophant considered all this sniffing and questioning each other to be rather rude.

((K?°osz= Polly; Venin= Rollaby; Kotsu= Tali; Ydin= Gyrophant. Sorry that wasn't too clear.))

[Kestrel]

Lugging a pile of papers, some pencils, a pencil sharpener, a pack of pens, and a chair, Feather Storm entered the Cathedral. Just to see Kotsu sniffing Ra'ire.
"What are you doing, Kotsu?" she questioned, just as a screeching sound annouced the enterance of Red Storm. Which meant she was drowned out.
"What are you doing, Kotsu?" she asked again, almost shouting... exactly when Red Storm decided to try and fly. What followed was very uncomfortable for Feather Storm. First, her mate lifted the table and chair he was carrying. Everything was okay. But then he decided to go higher, and to start towards the chair Feather Storm had just placed in the corner. This meant flying over Feather Storm. Unfortunately, just when he was about to pass over her, he dipped lower, struggling to keep the table and chair from falling. The leg of the table hit Feather Storm's head, and Red Storm fell onto her.
When Feather Storm finally struggled out, the table and chair were (amazingly) still in one piece. But Red Storm's wing wasn't so lucky. Some of the bones in his right wing had been broken, and some had been crushed. Feather Storm could feel a broken bone somewhere in the ribcage. This couldn't mean anything good...

[Akida]

K'san stood in his place and watched the events of the comotion play out before him. He leaned back against the wall and crossed his arms, face blank from any emotion. K'san like the gyrophant's attitude. Silent, honorable. There was a sort of growing respect for Ydin.

Ra'ire looked down at the rollbaby sniffing him. He shrugged, then looked up at the returning turkezillas. He half-smiled and chuckled softly to himself, then changed to shock when one of the large birds landed on the other.

[9][9]

[Kestrel]

"Broken bone," Feather Storm squawked. "Red Storm's wing bones are in very good condition, either," she said, after examining his wing. "But we brought back some supplies," she said, hoping someone would be distracted by their injuries, which was kind of hard to ignore, considering Turkezillas weren't exactly tiny.
Meanwhile, Red Storm had been knocked unconscious. Sighing, Feather Storm dragged him to the corner, where'd he be out of the way, then sat down herself, to lessen the pain of her broken rib. She would straighten up the things they just brought, but her chest burned like fire.
