JUMP IN: Dragons and Humans RP

Drake noticed that he had more company and he instantly kicked out with his foot, coated in black flames, at the dog before sending more slashes of black flame at the bigger creature. He wasn't going to be taken down so easily.

Pyre had been watching out from their nest and he growled softly as creatures started crawling over the walls, whereas Scaws was whimpering and shaking scared.

Drake watched the humanoid crumble and he turned to the dog and blocked it from getting at him. "Don't even!" He snarled, slashing his sword at the dog.

The dog hissed as the sword cut it, but it didn't seem affected as it kept trying to attack him. It managed to grab onto the sword with its jaws, trying to yank it out if his hand. That left it open for another attack though, with its belly exposed as its taut paws tried scrabbling at his armor.


"Hush!" Xandrite hissed quietly, looking around just in case anything was getting too close. Magna was busy trying to comfort Scaws, but jumped when she saw one of the things had noticed them. Narrowed sockets trained on them, it chattered and hissed before moving toward them.

The dog crumbled and fell apart, just as more battle-cries could be heard as more people joined the fight. Mysha had eventually returned to Drake, growling "Ghio is not here. Not even the other traitors. Just these... things."


Magna looked around with a scared expression, trying to look for a safe way out as the thing neared them. She jumped as it reached to grab Pyre, but Xandrite bit its thigh, causing it to recoil and hit at her.

Mysha shook her head, using her spear to help Drake with the fighting. "Ghio has nothing to do with this, I'm sure. This is some sort of necromancy, and no human has had the capacity of such in thousands of years. It has to be entirely that demon." The question was why they were there. Maybe their master was angered by the events earlier that day?


Xandrite was able to scramble away with Pyre helping, Magna watching as the creature recoiled again at the flames. Its arm, where the flames hit, had crumbled and some parts began to fall from it. Some human guards were trying to get over and help, but more creatures kept coming. Two more showed up to the young dragons, Xandrite shrieking as one grabbed her by the leg, attempting to drag her away. Magna tried jumping on it, not possessing black fire like her brother, but she was pried off by the second one.

Mysha tried to figure out why those things were there, and she looked up. Seeing shapes in the sky, flying overhead, they didn't seem to be descending into the city. They were heading back toward the fort, and that was when she heard a dragon shriek over all the fighting. Turning to her dragon, she told Ma'ait to head back.


The creatures hissed at the flames, backing away. Xandrite had been let go, scrambling over to Pyre just as something else showed up. And suddenly she and Pyre were in the air, something grabbing and scooping them up. Magna shrieked and tried to get ahold of Pyre's tail, teeth digging in. She was yanked back down though, watching the two siblings get carried into the air.

Mysha watched their dragons fly away before continuing to fight. She could already see plenty dead, mainly burning up in fires. And then she saw him, atop some burned-to-a-crisp dragon that carried him through the fighting, nodding a little to himself as he saw the carnage.


Xandrite wasn't able to do much, relying on Pyre to try and free them. The beast seemed to be smart though, swinging and moving Pyre to have his snout pointing downward. Upon seeing Shard, the creature hissed before picking up speed, attempting to fly away.

Ma'ait landed on the ground at the fort, squashing a few of the creatures. Leaving Shard to get the one in the air, she kept Magna and Scaws safe on the ground.

Mysha hummed. "You go get him. Your fire will probably be more useful anyway. I'll continue helping the people. Be careful." She then left him to it, going off to help others wherever.


The beast closed its wings and dropped a ways to avoid the fire, nearly smacking the young dragons into a wall just before it started flying again. It hissed and roared, flying close enough to rooftops to almost skim them with the babies. As it did, tons of those humanoids started jumping up onto the rooftops, just in case Shard got close.

Ghio noticed Drake, eyes narrowing behind his mask. "You two really need to stop trying to get in the way." Hopping off of the burned dragon, he pulled out his own sword. "The Dogs are wrong for once. The world is going to change whether you want it to or not."


The beast was forced down, crashing into homes. The humanoids used the opportunity to jump up at Shard though. Some grabbed onto his tail and low-hanging claws, the others using their hanging companions as ladders and starting to pile onto Shard and weight him down. The creature carrying the kids was down though, but there were more to swarm them, trying to move the limp and slowly-crumbling limbs to grab at the kids.

Ghio tsked before changing shape, into the glowing mass from a ways back. The bright figure lurched forward, pillars reaching forward as arms in attempt to swing at Drake. "I'll take delight in watching your people burn away, and every dog will be torn out of existence and replaced with dragons." Probably not "regular" ones though, seeing the winged demons flying around.


Xandrite squirmed out from the huge body just as it finished crumbling, helping Pyre too. The creatures attacking Shard burned away or moved back. Xandrite spread her wings and tried to fly away, but she felt something dragging her back. Turning to the ugly thing, she felt anger bubble up, and she actually vomited. it came in the form of magma though, spilling out onto the thing's face, and it began eating away like acid. The rest of them immediately backed away, chattering softly before turning and leaving.


Ma'ait was keeping any enemies away from Scaws and Magna. There was a LOT though, but statues from the fort had moved to help the dragons. Even Beta and Zeta were running around. "You'll be alright," the dragoness promised her kids. "Just stay by me."

The dragon hissed, backing away as Ghio got off to move toward Drake. "I wonder if you'll believe the same thing when this place is burned to the ground and everyone living here along with it!" Somewhere from his arm shot a beam of light toward Drake in attempt to hit him. "Dragons are already questioning this setup here. Won't be long until they join me."


Xandrite was still shaking a little as they were carried away. What had even happened? She just... well, she didn't really understand what happened.

Ma'ait spewed flames at attackers, pausing brief enough to say "I don't know, but I think we may have angered someone, and started something." She didn't want to flat out say that they brought on the wrath of an ancient demon though, which was the truth. Just as one of the creatures leapt for them, she swung her tail around and sent it stumbling back.

Ghio snorted, watching his dragon back away and roar in anger at the black fire. "Traitors? Please. If anything, everyone here is a traitor for not following my to the south forests." He then looked around, noticing the creatures were... leaving? What?? Grunting, he watched them chatter and hiss as they ran off back toward where they came. When the humans started showing up to see if Drake needed help, Ghio growled in hate before turning and once again managing to weasel his way out of death. Changing back into a man, he got onto his burned dragon, who turned and took off. "Just you wait. I'll take much pleasure in killing you!"



Ma'ait and the kids were fine, their mother keeping them safe. As the trio neared the fort though, the attacking creatures there looked up. They shifted around, looking amongst themselves before eventually turning and leaving, swarming back over the walls.

Ghio simply snorted, retreating into the night as Mysha showed up. Watching him fly off, she heaved a sigh. "He has to be the worst rash in existence." They could never get rid of him! Her father used to say that those types of people had the worst ends though, so she took comfort in that. "Let's just... head back. I'm sure we'll be getting reports on the dead soon." She then looked as Ligach trotted up, fur covered in soot and gnawing on a charred bone he retrieved from wherever after helping out.


Ma'ait nodded slowly, looking Shard over to make sure he was okay. "I think we're at war now." Hopefully it would end soon though, since they had the materials to defeat the old beast. Magna looked around, still shaking a little before asking "We'll be okay, right?"

Mysha smiled gently before walking back with Drake, forced to look at the the parts of the city ruined by flame. "They just started a war tonight." She shook her head a little. "I welcome it though. I can't wait to kill that old monster as his goon."

Ligach blinked once, noticing Arcane. "What's wrong?" He glanced around. "Do you see something?" Perhaps there was something still there?
