It all beings one day when Dorada awakes and takes her morning flight...
~~~~~
Dorada stretched her great feathered wings out as she took to the skies.  Today was a very grave day; for one of their elder dragons had died the night before.  She sighed; Sapphire had been such a good friend... alas, she was in a better place now.  She was flying to find her parents, to let them know that it was as they had feared, and Sapphire was gone, and her mate had left the clan.

She landed outside of her parent's cave and said quietly, Mother?  Father?  I have something I need to tell you.  She waited a couple of minutes, thinking that her parents were asleep.  After about ten minutes, she walked into the cave.  Mother?  Father!  Wake up, please! She said, annoyed.  When still no response came, she breathed a tiny flame.

What met her eyes startled her.

Tormentoso!  Amethysta!  Come outside at once! Dorada cried, going into a semi-panic.  When said dragons met up with their feather-winged sister, she was nearly in tears.

Mother and Father have abandoned the clan.  What will we do?  Sapphire is dead, and her mate has abandoned the clan, as I feared he would after the loss of his dear mate. Dorada said, her voice hysterical.  Amethysta's triple-pronged tail swished from side to side as she said, Well, someone has to lead the clan.  None are better suited than you and Ayo, my dear sister. She held her head high as she said this, for she herself could not lead the clan without a mate.

It is as Aubrey and I feared.  How shall we tell my mate that her mother is dead and her father has left entirely? Tormentoso said, sighing.  Sapphire had been ill for quite some time, so everyone knew that she would die sooner or later.

I worry more about Ambrosia.  She looks at Ayo and I with pure, black hatred. Dorada said, remembering the hostility in the glance Ambrosia had given her the day before, when Il?©ana and Re'elkiin were still there; when Sapphire was still alive...  Finally, Dorada said, Come to us, my dragon friends!  There is news to be told; and it is grave news indeed.

[[Those who roleplay Ayo/Ambrosia and Aubrey do not need to post a form.  Just those who are bringing in other characters do.  And Ayo/Ambrosia must be roleplayed by the same person.  Siblings, together; after all.  Feel free to jump in whenever.]]

((YESSS. <3 *can't wait to post*))

Dragon's name: Aris
Dragon's age: just over one year
Dragon's gender: female
Dragon's color: white and sky blue, eyes are green
Description: heres her pixil image: (She has feathered wings)
Dragon's power: the usual dragon magic (as seen in Inheritance Trilogy) plus the ability to shape shift...
Dragon's crush: none yet
Dragon's mate: none
Other: sister to Ferrik

Dragon's name: Ferrik
Dragon's age: one year and a fourth
Dragon's gender:male
Dragon's color: pleasing, marmalade orange, with golden eyes, spines, claws, and a random scattering of gold scales over his hide. Lightning-like golden streaks decorate his paper thin apercot wings.  (Normal, not feathered like Aris's)
Dragon's power: the usual dragon magic (as seen in Inheritance Trilogy) his powers increase in power and ability during the day, and dwindel at night. Has a connection with the Sun.
Dragon's crush: none yet
Dragon's mate: none
Other: Brother to Aris

Ferrik ran his soft orange snout along the length of Aris's feathered wing, "Wake up Aris," he whisped to his younger sister, "There has been a death."
Aris mumbled something and rustled her wings, "That feels good..." she sighed, "A death? Oh dear," she said, waking up fully. "Who?"
"Sapphire," he intoned gravely, shaking his head, "Her mate left too. Our flock is quickly dwindiling in numbers."
"I know..." she sighed, "we should go and visit the others, some are bound to be quite distraugt." She stood up on elegant white legs, her tail sweeping the cool rock of the ground where she had slept. Ferrik stood up also, his orange and golden swirled hide catching the sun as he walked out. "Blind someone why don't you..." Aris muttered playfully, walking beside him as they made their way to the gathering place.
"Do you think that they will mind if we join them to hear the details? We are outsiders after all. Rouges as they might call us..." Aris said quietly, and a bit fearful. "What if they drive us away?"
"The you can approach them in your shifted form Aris, and tell me later. You worry to much," Ferrik retorted confidently, smiling.

[SpringsSong]

Dorada looked about, awaiting her mate.  What Ayo told me a few days ago worries me.  He said that a voice told him that he was not to have a hatchling with me.  I never understood it.  And then Amethysta says that she heard a voice tell her that he and I will have a very special clutch, and that all of them must be guarded.  There is an evil in the air... She said, shuddering.

Here, here; sister. Tormentoso said, looking to the skies.  The sooner my mate awakens, the better.  She deserves to know what has happened to Sapphire. He closed his eyes, and then, reaching out with his mind, he said, Aubrey?  Wake up, please.  There is grave news to be told, and you... you deserve to hear it first.

Amethysta looked at the worried faces of her brother and sister.  I think I know why Mother left.  Remember how she was distraught when she saw your wings, Dorada?  Or how she gasped in fear when she saw my tail, and knew it was me?  She left because she thought herself a curse to the clan, and Father left with her so as to not let her feel rejected. She said, looking about.  Spotting Aris and Ferrik, she smiled.  Ah, not all hope is lost.  Look there; there are two other dragons that I have not seen before.  Maybe they wish to join our clan. She said, smiling.

Dorada, meanwhile, was trying to reach out to Ayo, saying, Wake up, my dear; please... we must talk with the rest of the clan.

[[We really need to have Ayo, Aubrey, and Ambrosia join in next before any more roleplaying goes on...]]

[Kyrit]

The sound of claws scrathing against rock below them...The male landed a few feet away from his beloved, wings slowly folding behind him as he slowly walked over toward her. There was a great air of sadness about the blue male, seeming to be contemplating many things. Yes... his sister had refused to come with him, just giving him that ever maliceful look as she watched him leave to meet with the others. Then there was the death of Sapphire and the loss of her mate.

There was something else that was rather puzzling... Dorada's. and the others of course, parents were there... "Tell me... What has gone on today?" he asked softly, standing mere inches from the golden female. "I know of the death... but where are your parents, dear?"

~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes... that was right. Ambrosia cared not to go with her brother to see what was going on. It would mean seeing him with that wetch Dorada. Instead the female had decided to stay in the darkness of their cave, watching the entrance least some outsider try to come in and disturb her. She didn't much care about what went on with most of the clan anymore. Who cared if some old hag had died? For all she cared they could all die. If she wished to she could start her own clan, away from them.

[SpringsSong]

Amethysta's head snapped around to see Aubrey and Ayo arrive.  Ah... good, you have arrived.  Ayo, where is your sister? She asked.  She kept her eyes fixed on Ferrik and Aris, waiting for them to speak.

Dorada looked at Ayo sorrowfully.  They have left.  They're just... gone.  My mother had spoken of leaving, but... I never thought she would do it.  She so often said that she wished to leave and rid us of her curse... Tears came to the golden femme's eyes, and then; observing that Ambrosia had not come, she sighed; saying, I fear for her.  Her hatred grows deeper every day...

Tormentoso sighed in relief when Aubrey arrived, and then, his expression saddened.  Aubrey, I... your mother, Sapphire... She is gone from us.  It happened while we all slept.  And your father... after he buried her himself, he left.  I-I am sorry, my dear... He said, walking over to Aubrey and nuzzling her.  And as Dorada said, Il?©ana and Re'elkiin have also left the clan.  None are left now but us...

[Kyrit]

He heard Amethysta's words, but only looked downward at the ground instead of replying. He disliked that his sister loathed him so. He wished to be close to her, able to talk to her just like the three siblings surrounding him could talk to one another. Maybe, just maybe, if Ambrosia found a mate, or at least a male that she liked, her hatered would fade. It was possibly just jealousy.

Ayo's nose slid across her cheek, wiping away the tears. "Well it is always possible for us to go on a search party and try to bring them back... Surely they would understand that  no one here is reall fit to lead the clan... we're all still so young." More words about his sister... It was all rather sad. "I don't know why she hates us... It seems like there is nothing I can do to please her though..."

~~~~~~~~~~

There was the scent of a new dragon in the area... a male. She had known of the other two outsider for some time now, but this one was a new scent. Still... there wasn't much that could draw her forth from the darkness of the cave she lay in. This was definately not one of them.

[Kricket]

((Ooh! I'll join. I can't wait for the third Eragon Book to come out. *glares at book store*))

Dragon's name: Zaiyndrweair (Zie *die with a Z* - an - drear )
Dragon's age: 1 year and three months
Dragon's gender: Female
Dragon's color: Ziay is is a blue black (that one that if the light is right it has a blue sort of sh dusting too it :3) dragon, with silver edges to each scale. She has two long, white horns that come out from the top of her head. White vine like designs come up her legs and tail, and black designs are on her horns. She has golden, cat like eyes, a long tail with a single curving spike - white like her horns - and silver claws. Her wing membrane is white, and her teeth are white - silver.
Dragon's power [optional]: She has a sort of magic "pull" that alows her to seach out other dragons of equal or more power to herself. This is only for dragons she doesn't know, as all family / friend bonds don't have that "pull". She has the ability to mold whater and shadow - like the shados that we have - into statue like creations.
Dragon's crush: None
Dragon's mate: None
Personality: Generally cool and level headed, it takes alot to frighten, startle, worry, anger, depress, and aggitate Zaiy. She has a sense of humor than can sometimes become cruel and malisous, but if some one is there to stop her, she usually will. She acts alot on instinct and sudden desisons, but she always thinks them out before she acts. She doesn't truly desire companionship, but she does like to know that she is still sane even when she talks to herself in her own privacy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zaiy sighed. Morning brought trouble that the night kept away with bright stars and silent air. Morning brought sun light, noise and distress. And what was this now? An scent on the wind that spoke of sorrow and loss. Indeed. And then .... the pull. It was a subtle shift in her mind, like wind across grass, and she knew that a certain power lay West of her. West... a place of mistery to her. She shuffled her wings in mild amusment. The only part of the area she hadn't explored was the West, partly because she knew that others had taken residence there. But, what good would it do to hide all the while?

She yawned, her teeth glinting in the sun light. Well, lets best be off, she thought.

The ground was covered quickly - though she was flying - as she was larger than the average female and her wings powered through the air. Her secondairy eyelid came over her eye instinctively, protecting it from the wipping air that she drove through.

Within a short amount of time (unrecorded as of today) she was within sight of the little group of dragons.

Little was most certainly right.

It seemed, to her, that there where... seven or eight, when the usuall group had ten or twenty. What had they been doing to drive the others away? Honistly she didn't care much, but if her solitude could be forsaken for a decent company now and again, all hail them!

It was a sudden desire to show off - to any males below of coarse - that drove her to slow down her wing beats. She had been circling on a relitively flat air current untill then, and her desire would bring her spiralling down.

And so she did, turning on wing - tip to spiral down toward the little group, making sure that the light cought her just right, so that her blue black and silver body would shine without blinding her audience.

She didn't land directly with them, instead she landed below and to the right of them, on a smallish ledge. She extending and then closed her wings, and looked down at the freshly plucked doe. She had been hungry, but she hadn't wanted to stop, so she had sipmly flown down, scattered the herd, and plucked a still kicking doe off the ground. It was dead now, one of her claws had punctured its side, but its eyes where open and she could swear that it was glaring at her.

Food doesn't glare, she told herself strictly. She engulfed it quickly and with vigor, making sure not to make too much noise so as to creep out the dragons above.

[SpringsSong]

[[Yay!  Another Eragon fan!]]

Dorada looked around her, noticing the new dragon that had landed above them.  She shook her head, tears filling her eyes.  We could possibly send out a search party, but I doubt that they would return with us.  None of us are fit to lead the clan yet, except maybe Amethysta.

Amethysta scoffed.  You forget, my sister; I constantly feel a loneliness tugging at my heart.  I wish to find a mate before I would dare try to lead the clan.  Otherwise... who knows what I might do when my heart is pained?  You know I tend to get... very angered when I feel lonesome... and that means dangerous storms. The amethyst dragon said, her tails flicking from side to side.

Aside from you, Dorada is the eldest of us three.  I say that she and Ayo should lead the clan until either Amethysta finds a mate or we find Mother and Father.  Right now, my priority is making sure Aubrey does not slip into complete and utter depression because of the loss of her parents. Tormentoso said, looking at his two sisters.

[SpringsSong]

Dorada looked up at the black dragon as he landed.  Please, pardon Aubrey... the poor girl's lost her mother. She explained quickly, sighing.  Then, she looked up.  Wait, who are you and where did you come from? She asked, tilting her golden head.  She didn't recognize this dragon at all whatsoever, and plus, no black dragons had been in their clan to begin with.  Amethysta and Tormentoso also looked up, but Tormentoso soon went back to comforting his mate.

I know how it is to lose a loved one, my dear.  Sapphire was a good friend to all of us, but an even better mother to you.  We all shall mourn her passing. He said, nuzzling her affectionately.

Amethysta, meanwhile, said, Come on, my brother and sister.  We must decide whether or not to search for Mother and Father!  I can already tell that Dorada and Ayo don't feel like leading the clan just yet--Shall we go and search out Il?©ana and Re'elkiin? She asked, her voice firm.

Yes. Came Dorada and Tormentoso's unison reply.

~~~

Meahwhile, off somewhere deep in the forests, nearing the foot of the Beor Mountains...

A sapphire dragon walked along, her head lowered.  Re, I do not at all feel like we should have left now.  I can feel it in my heart; Sapphire has passed on and our children need us. She said, tears coming to her voice.  The emerald male nuzzled his mate affectionately, then said, Come now, my dear.  This was your choice; are you going to go through with it or no? When Il?© gave no response, he asked, Shall we go back?

Il?© sighed.  Only if they should come to us.

[[I'll psot Il?©ana's and Re'elkiin's details later...]]

[Polaris]

Aris and Ferrik had been lurking back, intimidated slightly by the the multitude of dragons. Usually because of Aris's... drawback they had to stay away from wild heards. They seem upset... It was Sappire's death that has caused this all... Ferrik could hear them talking, his ears twitching in their direction. "Ferrik..." Aris murmured, and pointed to the sky. Yet another dragon was coming in, a maginificent blue-black, like a crow's feather. A black and gold dragon had also come in, this was getting to be quite a gathering.
"I'll go first, keep you head down," Ferrik instructed, walking out into the dragaon gathering. Greetings... he cast out with his mind, in common tounge, I am Ferrik, and this is Aris, we are siblings...
Aris heard his words in her mind, but kept her green eyes lowered to the ground, for if the other dragon's saw them they would surely recognize her human eyes. She was an outcast, a fluke. A shiver ran down her body, she couldn't even talk to them... not even if she had wanted to.
Ferrik moved closer to her, he knew what she was thinking. He would not let her run away again.

[Kyrit]

Ayo had been so shocked at the meantioning of Dorada and him leading the clan that he had gone quiet for some time. After finally coming to, the dragon looked toward the horizon, eyes gleaming. "They are out there somewhere... If we can just find out where then maybe we can get them to come back to us..." All one could do was hope and try for the best.
(Don't feel like dragging his sister out yet. >> *dead at the moment*)

Wynd flew over Alaga?´sia, enjoying the morning breezes. She looked down. Everything was beautiful. She went and perched on a nearby hill, taking in her surroundings. She was new to here, from far off. She was trying to learn the territory. But, she didn't have a lot of energy, so she laid and took a small nap.
