(This is just a draft, as I literally had next to no idea what to do with the setting when it came up while rping so yeah, things can change as we all go along, and of course there needs to be a way for Larkes and Aldnoa to show up x3)

I’m fine with whatever, tbh. Just let me know the plan!))
Drake got about Shard, who gingerly picked up the egg in his paws. “We can keep the egg safe, love. I know we can.” Shard said to Ma’ait as they took off.
Larkes smirked as the man was caught completely off guard. “Like Aldnoa said, all those resources for free?

(Oh man! well, that's certainly interesting... I'm hooked X3
I'd be up for something like that. I'd also be cool with an overarching timeskip, to where a small city state has been established, and after hearing about this, have flown to Mysha and Drake.)

(We can do it now I suppose, with Mysha and Drake's people more vigilant after interrogating prisoner guy x3 Ooh, and this means mystery egg hatched too maybe xD How far do you two want to skip? I'd think a while to have that city state up and running like Sam wants)

((Sounds good here! Where should we say the relationships are right now, Smoke? Like with the dragonlings they tried for and the two humans and such?))
And what about the city-state Sam?))

(Well, for sure by now Mysha and Drake would be married, but maybe no kids yet cause Mysha is stressed af about cause Ghio perhaps could be causing problems with his followers. And as for Ma'ait and Shard maybe they had... three eggs? Four with the mystery egg. They're a young dragons now though, cause the years of timeskip. Ooh, and maybe the kingdom can be more dragon friendly too?)

(Sure.)
After a few years passing, things were looking up for Drake and Mysha's kingdom. As well as expanding, dragons had been cautiously integrated into the lives of their people. Some people became riders, but some would always prefer their horses. Either way, the mass of cities and villages looked to their two leaders, now married and settled into their roles as the ruling party. Rhayne, Beta and Zeta were apart of their council of advisers, and then there were their dragons of course. Ma'ait had three beautiful eggs who hatched and grew into young dragons. Magna, (and the two others that Tob gets to rp), and their special mystery egg, who had hatched and been named Xandrite. Magna looked like her father, with black scales and similar wings, but had her mother's gold eyes and dorsal plates. Xandrite was completely white except for her emerald eyes, and had two sets of wings on her back and sharp tail-flaps.
Currently, Mysha was overseeing training for some new warriors that would help guard the fort, standing at a distance and watching them train away. She was really just taking a break after having been on a patrol to clear out some rebels too. Ma'ait was sitting nearby with Shard, though their kids were absent. The dragoness had allowed them to go to a little section in the main city where it was mainly just dragons, where they could hang around and socialize. It was a slightly reluctant choice though, but Magna had convinced her parents to give them a little freedom. They had to be back before nightfall though!

(But we're starting in the other territory I assume- at the hole Larkes and Aldnoa have learned of. They go there by themselves, and meet the others. Shall we roleplay that?)

(Hmmm, it wouldn't be a good idea for them to intrude, because that trap is located within Drake and Mysha's kingdom. Maybe Aldnoa and Larkes arrive at a checkpoint, ask about the matter and are allowed to see the rulers and eventually they go there?)

Drake was sitting beside his wife, having just arrived after her from taking care of some other business. He sat down next to her and immediately took her hand in his. “Hello my love.” He said happily. “How was the patrol?”
Shard was with his mate, trying to distract himself from worrying about his sons and daughters being out on their own. Pyre was very similar to his mother, unlike his brother Scaws who looked nearly identocal to their father. The two of them were with their sisters as hey walked into the city. Scaws was very close to his older sister Xandrite, having a much more timid nature than Pyre.
((Whatever works! Could you start, Sam?))

Mysha hummed in acknowledgement of the question, leaning over and kissing Drake's cheek. "Fruitless," she said after pulling back. "We caught another prisoner, but I doubt she will say anything different than what the other rats are saying, which is next to nothing new." All they could do was continue to guard the trap, which had been approached multiple times by that weasel's group. "I just can't believe we haven't at least caught Ghio yet. I bet that group would fall apart if he were dead."
Xandrite was leading the way, looking around at all the dragons. She wanted to go find dragons their age though. As they all walked, she said "Let's not mess this up, alright? I wanna get in with the cool dragons, so try not to talk too much." Magna shrugged her shoulders, leaning over and whispering to Pyre "She's abandoning us as soon as she sees a "cool" kid-" Magna yelped as she was lightly slapped on the side by Xandrite's tail.

Aldnoa came in for a landing at the large gate that marked then entrance to the kingdom. Another one, just like their own, where dragons and humans were intermingled. Another lovely place, aside from some awful secret. As the guards came to greet them, Aldnoa announced their arrival in a booming, larger-than-life voice. "I am Aldnoa, dragon prince of Eris! With me is Larkes, my brother in oath, and second ruler of our kingdom! We have come for an audience with your sovereigns!" He called out. And with that, he glanced to Larkes, to confirm.

There to meet Aldnoa and Larkes were a mass of soldiers, clad in armor made of fur, bones and metal, markings etched into the metal and bone. Their weapons were a similar fashion, bone and metal and etched with symbols. If they were surprised by Aldnoa, they didn't show it, their eyes narrowed behind their masks, which consisted of metal and of course skull bones. The one who looked in charge stepped right up to Aldnoa, looking up as he grunted "On what grounds do you wish to speak with our rulers?" It was most odd that they showed up to their main city, but they seemed of high status so maybe they had something of importance to adress?

"That must suck,living up here."They both replied. "It doesn't!" The dragoness insisted. "Please, stay a little while. You'll find you like it here." The girl laughed and shrugged, dismissing the subject. "I'm Laura." "I'm until the human's fed,then I'll think ahead."Snapper growled. "Charles..."The man replied."Why'd you get dragged up here?"

Drake nodded as he settled in beside his wife to watch ally hat was going on. “Yes, That Ghio is about as slippery as they come...” he said in a grumble. “But his day will come and when it does he’ll be fed to the young dragons.” He said, fists growing black from anger. But he quickly calmed down and sighed. “At least he had t made any attempts to attack us or our dragons’s family...” he murmured.
“Hey! Remember was dad said! No hitting each other unless we are play-wrestling!” Pyre stayed, glaring at his big sister. But he glanced over at his hatchmate and nodded, giggling a little. He too expected their older sister to just ditch them when she had the chance.
Larkes nodded in confirmation to Aldnoa then watched as the mass of soldiers came up. “We seek an audience with your rulers to discuss amatter of Grace inportance. We have heard that your kingdom is now much like ours, friendly to dragon’s and the humans that side with them. But we’ve also heard that this kingdom harbors an ancient evil that threatens to one day destroy everything. We want to discuss this with your leaders urgently.”

"Right now that the water is getting boiled you can help me with cutting some herbs for the soup that will be made." Amanda said as she led Ocean back inside. "When he first met us Thorn he was curious and and after a while he gained my trust." Scarlet said with a sigh. Ash?)

Sorry!))
Ocean nodded and followed after Amanda, casting one last glance to the two dragons before he followed Amanda inside and closed the door behind him.
Thorn snorted, dust blowing off th ground as he did so. “Even then he still has yet to earn my trust. Ever since that attack ears ago I haven’t been able to trust humans who weren’t barked born hers.” He said with a low growl.

Mysha snorted at the comment on how evasive Ghio was. "We will catch him one day." Smiling slightly, she hoped she was right. "As long as we keep doing what we're doing though, we'll be fine. He and his group will get nowhere near the trap."
Magna snickered as Xandrite scoffed at Pyre. The two females then looked as they found where the younger dragons hung out, and Xandrite led the way to the space. Smiling widely, she walked over to a group settled by a pile of goodies. The young dragons looked over, but Xandrite tried to look taller as she stood straight.
The soldiers snorted as they looked up at the two. They might as well, as no one had ever come with such matters. The command to let them in was given, and the lead guard motioned for Aldnoa to follow. As they passed through the outer wall, the two would be forced to see the bones and such set into the walls. People curiously looked as they entered, but only briefly before going about their business.

Aldnoa relished their stares. His plan had always been to increase his name, expand his influence, and learn everything he could of the new world he had entered. But their gazes left just as quickly, and he let his head slouch just a bit as they walked.

Surprisingly, Aldnoa got no looks of surprise or confusion. The people there had seen much more alarming things, so they mostly just went about their day. The guard led them to the outer wall of the actual fort, watching Beta speak with the guards already. The automaton turned toward the two, a clicking noise sounding as he blinked, eyelids flicking downward briefly. "What is this?" he asked the guide, who explained everything. Beta made no initial response, gears turning beneath his plating. Turning away, he had the guards let him in only.
Beta soon found where Drake and Mysha were sitting, stopping beside his creator. "There are two here to see you, a young man and his metal dragon. They apparently want to know about the prison." Mysha blinked slowly, turning toward Beta. "Why are they within the walls?" Beta made no expression. "A guard let them in. Shall I have them escorted out?" Mysha ran a hand through her hair, thinking about it. Then, she answered, not even taking a moment for any advice from the others. With a glance at Drake, she answered "No, but I want them separated. We will meet with the man only, and his dragon will stay outside. No restraints are to be put on him though. If they don't like that, they can leave." Beta nodded once before going to tell the two the news. His face remained expressionless as he said "Our rulers will meet with the human only. There will be no restraints or attacks made upon you or your dragon, but he is to remain out here. My companion Zeta will keep him company and will be asking him as well how you two came to know of this. If you do not wish to comply, you are free to turn back, but no changes to these requirements will be made. Mysha is very cautious when it comes to the subject you speak of, as we weren't aware that word got out." So that meant Ghio was spreading his influence around, and rumor must have made it to these two.

Aldnoa opened his mouth to reply, but thought it wiser to silence himself for now. He dipped his head, and prayed to himself that he had told Larkes everything he needed before being quizzed by the two inside. "I will stay outside." But this excited him, too. Here as well were other metal dragons! They were different perhaps, of an earlier and less-precise model, but nonetheless his own kind. He was eager to ask them questions about their own kind, but once again found wisdom in quiet.
