Mysha smiled slightly as Drake spoke. And her hopes that Larkes and his intriguing friend would stay were proved when Larkes said that they weren't going home. Nodding once, she said "We will need to get word out to other settlements to alert them, and then we need to see about hunting that thing. It'll be dangerous, but we need to try and see if we can at least wound it somehow before it picks up speed."
Ma'ait was also busy checking on their kids, despite their protests. As she did, Magna said "Xandy turned into-" She yelped as Xandrite whapped her on the side again, the white youngling saying "A complete mess! Felt the ground shake and I started crying like a hatchling!" She smiled sheepishly as Ma'ait blinked slowly. Magna glared at her sister before asking her parents "Yeah, about that... what happened? Are you two okay? Were we attacked?"

((Hello! So right now the plot is that an ancient and powerful evil previously locked away has been released and now the kingdom we are set in is trying to combat it, though it just emerged earlier that day. Also, in this kingdom dragon’s and humans live alongside each other in very peaceful happiness, though much of the rest of the cintinent is not so. If you’d like to jump in you could join the current plot or I or someone could make a new character(s) to rp with you in another place and another plot))
Drake nodded and thought about that for a while. “Then that’s what we must do. We can get help from the Fort Guard and from other nearby townspeople with dragon’s and spread the word.” He said with a decisive nod.
Shard continued to examine his children to ensure that they were all okay. “Not really attacked, my little loves, but we aren’t exactly fully safe yet either. For the time being you’re to stay here within the fort walls. Do NOT go out of the fort unless instructed.” He said.

Mysha nodded in agreement with Drake before turning to Larkes and Aldnoa. "My husband and I would be pleased to have you two accompany us on the hunt once we get going. After all, it would be a little rude to have you stay here after traveling all this way." Looking back toward the fort, she continued "As much as I want to go looking this moment, Ghio will except that. We will start tomorrow. Your dragon will have a place found for him to stay, while a room in the fort will be set up for you."
Magna seemed alright with that rule, but Xandrite looked annoyed. "But dad! We want to help! We're getting stronger every day!" She then looked to her mother, who said "Shard is right. We want you four safe. What is out there is too dangerous for you to even be near."

Ok and Id be ok with jumping into the current plot. Is there a specific place my person shpuld be?))
Max sat in a chair dazing off into the wall across from him. He slowly stromed the back of the 6 foot long blue dragon that lied beside him. He felt the strong breathing and the warmth of his best friend. The brown hair teenage boy had no idea how to feel after it seemed a full out war had begun earlier that day.

((Hi Long! If you’d like I could rp the dragon or I could make a completely different character to rp with you. Also, urgently only the kingdom leaders know of the coming battles. The rest of the kingdom would only feel a couple small earthquakes))
Larkes nodded appreciatively. “That is very kind of you, Queen Mysha.” He said, bowing respectfully. Standing back up, he added another statement, “And on my honor as a ruler and fighter for my kingdom, Aldnoa and I will stay and fight for your cause until you seem our services no longer necessary or until this matter is resolved.”
Drake smiled and nodded slowly as Larkes said what he did. “Thank you, Larkes. With your help I’m sure we will find a swift end to all this.” He said as he still remained close to his beloved wife. He looked to Mysha and smiled. “Why don’t we go and see if some food is set out, hm?” He asked, kissing her temple lightly.
Shard nodded in agreement to his mate and he laid down and curdled his tail around all his children, which was getting harder to do by the day. “Yes, listen to your mother and I, children.” He said softly and seriously, taking time to lick each of their heads a couple times. “I know we’ve said this a thousand times already but... your mother and I love you all with all of our hearts. We don’t want any harm to come to you ever... but we also know that you’re getting older and will eventually want to explore and make your own lives for yourselves, and we understand that. But right now, with the coming danger, you’re still much too weak to put up any fight against the danger we’re confronting. And your mother and I can’t keep Mysha and Drake safe if we know you kids could be in danger. That’s why we are saying you need to stay here. Because by doing so, you’re also helping to protect the peace that we have and helping keep the humans safe.”

Mysha nodded once to Larkes, satisfied that he seemed intent on helping. They needed all the help they could get. She then looked over at Drake as he spoke, nodding again. Her stomach also happened to growl as well. "Yes, let's. I think we could use the time to relax." Because it may be the last time they get to for a while. Holding Drake's hand, she walked with him inside, though she gestured for Larkes to follow as well while some guards went to fine a spot for Aldnoa to settle.
Magna seemed happy with what her parents said, her eyes wide with curiosity. So, they were still helping even without fighting? Great. Chirping happily, she looked over at her siblings. That's when she noticed Xandrite. The white youngling was smiling, but you could tell something was still troubling her. Ma'ait nuzzled Shard gently before looking down at all of their kids. "Come on, let's get inside. You can tell us about your day!" She then turned to lead them inside, where there was a large room fitted to accommodate the family of dragons, though that would change once the young started to get too big.

Aldnoa shook his head, but said nothing of the impossible odds. This would be their end, unless they had some incredible strategy to destroy it. "Time to relax?" He murmured softly. "No. Someone, take me to the library. If I am to fight this, I will give myself every advantage I can."

Zeta had arrived, looking up at Aldnoa. "You'll not find much about such matters in a library. Come." He gestured for the dragon to follow, aiming to take him to where the only solid depictions of the creature were. "Mysha says that it was locked away long before much of anything readable was invented, more or less, and even then the people here as a majority didn't learn to read until a few years ago due to being more of oral learners for the most part. If you don't mind crude art, we will be going to some of the first places the people here settled." That was where one would find anything reliable about the beast.

Aldnoa nodded and followed. He wasn't after the library perse, but knowledge. Anything to give him the edge in protecting Larkes, whom was brave but weak, in the face of this monster. "Take me there."

Larkes smiled as the queen so graciously allowed him to accompany her and Drake to the eating area and he walked behind them eagerly, his stomach also growling.
Drake smiled and nosed his beloved wife lightly on her temple and ear. He just wanted to love on her and relax while they could. The past while had been stressful, and he knew it would only get more stressful in the near future. As they walked to the eating area, Drake led their small group to the head table.
Shard held up the back as his mate led their way to their family area, Pyre and Scaws walking close to their mother. Shard looked over at Xandrite as they walked inside and he licked her head. "Everything okay, Xand?" he asked softly.

Mysha smiled gently as Drake showed her affection. After she settled down in her seat, her hand reached over to grasp Drake's, looking over at him with her small smile. It didn't take too long for food to be brought in. And there was Ligach, who was already looking around for any food that was placed close to the edge of tables. As the food was set down, Mysha sighed "Let's just try and enjoy the time before things pick up, hm?"
Xandrite looked over at Shard when he asked if she was okay. "I'm fine," she decided after a moment. "Just a little scared is all. What if that thing destroys our home? Or what if something happens to you and mother?" She seemed to be focusing on the bad outcomes rather than anything positive, but only cause she was so worried now.
Zeta nodded to Aldnoa, already leading the way. One would think such places were kept somewhere secluded, but they were actually nearby. The only one that wasn't was where the branding took place. Other than that, the large caves where people settled were protected by walls and guards despite nothing dangerous being there. "Here we are," Zeta eventually said. "Not anything magnificent like a library, but still reliable in this particular case. Go ahead, it's big enough for you to go in."

Aldnoa ducked his head as he walked in, despite it being a head larger than he. "Amazing. These are how old?" He asks, padding up and down the chamber, getting a first look at everything.

Drake nodded in agreement as he sat down beside his beloved Mysha and he looked as the food was put out. He watched as Arcane trotted over to Ligach and padded alongside him, also looking for food. Once the plates and utensils were placed in front of them, Drake immediately started getting food, followed by Larkes. "Eat up, Larkes. Make sure you eat your fill." Drake said. If he'd learned one thing the past few months is that this kingdom ate and ate well.
Shard huffed a little, licking her head a few more times. "Don't worry so much, my daughter. Everything will be okay. We have humans and dragons alike on our side, and there's nothing that can stop us."

Zeta simply shrugged. "No one alive knows. Definitely long before people really began to organize beyond families and tribes." As they looked among the walls, there was of course art and such along them, paintings. The images weren't exactly crisp and expert, but they got the idea across. Humans hunting and fighting, yet they weren't fighting typical animals or other humans. Misshapen beasts and, one that seemed to be a recurring image, a large monster with a dark body and red streaks mapping it out.

Aldnoa gazed deeply upon this constant face. "Our foe." He murmured, following the story painted out. Was there a secret to be derived? A hint in these pictures to a weakness? What did the ancient people do?

Mysha looked over at Laarkes as Drake spoke to him. After a short while of just eating, she eventually found herself asking the other man "So, is the settlement you come from prospering? You must have quite a reputation where you are with a dragon like Aldnoa." She was a little curious about their story, and perhaps she would share more about her and Drake's people if Larkes cared to know.
Xandrite seemed reassured, smiling up at her father before settling down in their room, resting beside Magna and Scaws. "We're going to beat whatever that thing is," she decided with a determined look, Ma'ait cooing softly at her daughter. "Yes, we will as long as we work together and keep each other safe."

Zeta didn't know if anything would prove helpful as they looked, but it was the spot that depicted most of anything that looked remotely like that creature. As he studied the walls, watching the monster wreak havoc upon the humans and even dragons. He had yet to see any particularly useful info, but it seemed that teamwork held its own, while groups of only humans or only dragons fell fate to the monster quicker.

Aldnoa noticed this as well. He also saw water have no effect on the beast, but wind seemed to stagger it in another. "Notice this piece?" He asked, pointing it out to Zeta. "Wind."

Drake also looked at Larkes, he too interested in Larkes’ past.
Larkes looked over as the Mysha asked about his past. Finishing the food in his mouth and swallowing, Larkes began his story. “Well, after Aldnoa and I bumped into each other and became friends, we traveled to the kingdom we currently represent. We soon ‘convinced’ the king we were not enemies and such, we started working for him. We quickly earned his respect and were made honorary princes. After a while of adventuring we decided to come here.” He said.
Shard licked his mate as they laid with their kids. “You’re such a good mom to them.”
Pyre settles down next to his sisters and Scaws laid down too with a yawn.

Zeta nodded. "I have seen it before, but in this one after it seems to recover." He walked along the walls. This thing was quite adaptable. As humans and dragons worked on ways to beat it, it would overcome it. "It was held down by chains though... but I don't see anything like that here. So either that piece is missing or destroyed." Something so breakthrough would surely have been recorded, so where was it? "I have some idea, but I'm not sure."

Mysha watched Larkes as he told them about how he and Aldnoa turned up. "What a journey," she said when he finished. "If only ours was as clean-cut." It seemed Aldnoa was enough to secure a spot into importance, as Mysha assumed there were not many at all like his dragon. If her people didn't have the statues, then they probably would've been spooked like she was sure others were. "Good to see you and Aldnoa have remained a team. He is very protective of you."

Max lazily got up from his chair. The blue dragons head by his side raised and looked up at him. "Come on Fusion. Lets go look at some stuff in the market." The dragon stood, but had to slightly crouch as to not knock anything over in the house. The two walked out of the house and down the road. Max did not bother paying attention to the earthquakes earlier that day, just assumed theynwould pass and wouldnt cause any real damage.

Larkes nodded and smiled. “Yes, I’m very happy we’ve remained a pair as well. And yes, he’s very protective of me. Even though he doesn’t like to admit it.” He said amusedly. He then flipped the subject onto the two rulers. “And what about you two and your dragon’s?”

Mysha looked over at Drake. It was only fair that they share now. Looking to Larkes again, she said "Well, I met Ma'ait when she was an egg. I actually peeled said egg apart because she was so weak, couldn't do it herself. I raised her in secret until she could fend for herself, and even then she visited me. The people here didn't like dragons at the time. Slaughtered them. Just before I met Drake, they had captured Ma'ait for their sick games that would end in her death. I freed her, and in turn they took my arm, mutilated my leg and took one of my kidneys, which held my source of power at the time. She carried me for hours until we crossed paths with Drake and Shard. I would've died if not for his help."

Larkes eyes widened, completely believing the Queen but just very very surprised. He then looked over at Drake as he continued.
“And I met Shard during our adventures. After we met Mysha and Ma’ait we decided we had to help Mysha get her revenge on the person’s who wronged her, mainly the former leader, and get her power back. “And then one thing led to another and here we are.” He said as he looked over at his wife and smiled. “And I couldn’t be happier.

Mysha smiled over at Drake, content with how things were and even with what happened to get to that point. "And neither could I," she said before looking at Larkes. "And to keep life as good as it is, we will need to make sure we claim victory over that creature." She looked around the room, watching others talk, and watching Ligach and Arcane steal bits if food. They looked like a family. "If all goes well and we don't all die, maybe you can have an official look around. With everything coming up, I don't think you'll have a lot of time." Larkes and Aldnoa seemed like good individuals, potential allies in the future.

((Also, Long would you like me to make a new character? Sorry I lost your last reply))
