| Avoid the two legs? Hah, that was adorable. “Honey, we don’t need to avoid anyone. They’d just better run faster than I can fly. But yes, I suppose sticking with the trees would be easier…” He couldn’t fault her sense of direction either – it would have taken him a fair bit longer to figure out which way to go exactly. He didn’t say anything, but smiled slightly – pleased with Yrana for being intelligent. Many female dragons just… weren’t, which saddened him.
He laughed aloud as she asked about the members. “Yes, we all are. In fact, only the newest recruits don’t have a short temper. Most of us have good reason, mind, and as long as you aren’t a two leg sympathiser, we’re warm enough. There has been talk of hugs for dragons having a hard time, but that might be a step too far.” He didn’t want to put Yrana off, but it was true that the other members of ME were a little rough at times. It wouldn’t be right to pretend it was all fun and games Besides, Dyavol never lied – he didn’t see the need to protect anyone from the reality of the world like that.

| "Don't see how doing something so human as 'hugging' could help any dragon." she remarked. "I'll make myself the dragon equivalent of a thorn bush then I guess." She was trying to steel herself for the inevitable fear she was going to feel when she met this ornery pack of dragons. "I'll still be on edge, wouldn't want to be someone's midnight snack." When he said it would be easier, she immediately took off in that direction. "Got a general city or noticeable landmark to steer toward?" She spent lots of time in human gardens and secretly spying on botanists to figure out information she'd normally have to test on herself with likely fatal results. "Or a city to outright avoid should the case present itself...?" Any kind of information he could give her would make the trip smoother for them both, especially if they could avoid places ruled by black market trade. If she ever got the chance she'd study a human map and get the rest of the island mapped out in her head, then she'd be even more useful! She'd make a note to nip off one afternoon near a city and find something to help with her mapping troubles. | |

| “That’s a good plan, I’d stick with it if I were you.” Dyavol said, a hint of warmth in his voice, but nothing beyond his usual limited emotion range. All of a sudden they were talking destinations, however, and the warmth vanished; his usual cold demeanour returning fast. “We should make for Halosis – that’s old Plurith to you I would imagine. There will be someone there, I am certain, or else the main strength of Maledictus Eice will not be far away. Oh, and we have to avoid Caspan, but if we stay to the treeline we’ll skirt right around it anyway.” He refused to say why he refused to go through Caspan - it was the most direct route after all – but he would hear no argument on that front.
“Other than that, anywhere’s fine. If we run into trouble I’ll handle it, you’re in safe claws I assure you.” He seemed lost somehow – he’d not felt he had to watch out for another dragon for years, and he’d almost forgotten how to care for another. Hopefully Yrana wouldn’t notice. She hadn’t known him long enough to realise this was out of character, and by the time they reached the rest of ME he trusted that he would be back to his old self. The others would never have to know about his minor lapse.

| "Avoiding big cities isn't so tough, they're easy to see from the air." Having him assure her that she was safe was nice and all, but by no means did that mean she was going to relax any time soon. "Best to still be alert though, never know what kind of idiot two-leg is going to come after a couple of small dragons with a butterfly net. Wherever you think would be best to go I'll follow, or lead if I know where it is you want to go." Maybe she had some hidden potential somewhere that this experience would dig up. . .Ah well even if she didn't, Yrana was going to make sure this group saw she had value! Her size was her biggest disadvantage; but in the same breath her brain, albeit made for such a small body, was packed with useful information. On top of that she had every intention of exploiting every grain of what she knew to help the ME achieve their goals. "Dyavol, do you think I'll be able to make a difference? I hope I can. . ." | |

| Dyavol muttered a gruff ‘if you say so’, not really convinced by rana’s argument about butterfly nets, but he realised quickly that avoiding conflict would probably be easier now that he wasn’t travelling alone. Fine, let her have it her way – they wouldn’t go through the cities then. “OK, well I don’t know the route well, but I think that the big forest to the south-west will take us to close enough for me to recognise it.” He explained, gesturing with a forepaw.
He was all lined up with another emotionless response to Yrana’s next comment, but managed to hold it back. He wasn’t used to talking with dragons with a sense of insecurity, and everything about Yrana was out of his comfort zone, but he managed a painful kind of smile. “Of course you will, they took me on after all, so why not a second butterfly dragon? It’s not all fighting, so they’ll find something.” That was the best he could do, and the words felt wrong, but he hoped Yrana would realise he had at least tried to be kind there. Genuine affection was beyond him, so this was the best it got.
“We’d better head off soon – it’s still clear now, but the storm could come back any moment. Better make it to the trees before that happens, or we could be in for a very rough time.” He said firmly, setting off in the direction of the trees quickly, hoping Yrana would just follow.

| It didn't escape her observations that he was struggling to be normal and talk with her, but there were a good number of explanations for that. "No need to repeat yourself." The last thing they needed was to get caught in a storm. Butterfly dragons and other small creatures didn't tend to fare well. Time passed sort of slowly the closer they got to their destination, but the ruins of Plurith, the new Halosis, were easily recognized considering the surrounding area. "You guys did a ton of damage here." There was a hint of excitement in her voice, and she couldn't help her tail swishing the way it was. "This was done by a handful of dragon? Wow!" If a small group of dragons destroyed a city like this, a few more members and they could go after a small army! | |

| Flying back to the ruins of Plurith felt like going home to Dyavol. He had fought proudly in the battle that had destroyed the place, and he felt as much at home there as he ever had elsewhere in DC. He picked up on the excitement in Yrana’s voice quickly, and grinned. “We sure did, tore the place to pieces, along with almost all of the residents. Left just enough alive to go and scare to other two-legs with the story.” He sounded so proud of that fact and it was possibly a little disturbing to hear, but he didn’t think about that kind of thing very often. “Two legs are weak and fragile, we could take a small army any time, and before long we’ll be tracking down the two big groups of them. No force on the island can stand up to the might of Maledictus Eice.” He slowed and landed on a broken wall, looking around. There was nobody immediately nearby, but there was certain to be another few dragons in the area. The non-fighters sometimes stayed in Halosis even if the others were elsewhere. They were sure to find the main force before long. It was only once he had processed that thought that he noticed the dark red stain on the bricks he was stood on. It was hard to recognise the old city, but Dyavol realised quickly that this particular mark had been his doing. He’d opened the throat of a man trying to protect his home. Years ago that might have struck a chord with Dyavol, but he was beyond sympathy for humans now. | |

| "That's incredible!" she chirped as she explored the smaller tunnels and holes in the ruined buildings surrounding her. Her attention was drawn to the pins in his tail and she instantly remembered his story of how he came to hate humans. "I don't know if I'll ever be as good a fighter as you, but you can count on me to support the Maledictus Eice to the very end." Of course to her that meant the end of eternity since she knew any day could very well be her last at this point and with war on the horizon that possibility felt more and more real every day. The city around them still felt alive to Yrana, there was still a pulse under the decaying corpses and broken structures, but it wasn't a literal "life", it was the residual magic left behind after the dragons had decimated it. "I could make a home here if I had no plans of ever getting involved with the cause, but I want to do my part and try to make a difference before I decide to hide away until humans are eradicated." | |

| Dyavol grinned as Yrana investigated. “Truly, I’m no great fighter, I’m just good at catching people by surprise. I’d call it the perks of being smaller. Nobody notices a butterfly dragon when there’s two Clubtails to deal with, so I open their throats before they realise I’m even there.” He sounded so proud of that, but he was aware that Yrana would probably need a slightly gentler introduction to the cause.
“Well, you’ll be welcome here, we never turn a dragon away. And you won’t have to fight if you’re not up to it – we need dragons to keep an eye on things, and find food for in between big hunts.” He was trying unsuccessfully to paint a more homely picture of the dragons who he now considered his family, but it truly was much kinder here than all that. Dyavol never noticed the nicer touches; he was completely blind to sentiment these days.
“Well, you can make yourself at home, I’ll try to find some of the others to introduce you…” he looked around. It was quiet – most of the force was away somewhere, ut he was sure he could find a nice calm healer somewhere to introduce Yrana to.
((I’m struggling for plot now, we can either start an adventure or maybe thing about leaving it as an introduction to ME?))

| [OOC: We can leave it as an intro to ME but I'll at least write the wrap-up post. :3]
Yrana was getting a wee little bit nervous now about meeting some of the rest of the dragons in her new family. She didn't want to end up being someone's snack if things didn't go off flawlessly. "You sure I'm not gonna be someone's chew toy straight out the gate? I'd hate to be looked down on because I'm too little to be a real threat. I guess everything will work out somehow." Still the area around her had so many little places to hide and make nests, but maybe she could engineer her own little fortress that she could decorate with flower petals and soft bits of fabric from the wreckage to make a bed. It might just work if she could find an alcove big enough! Her tail swished back and forth anxiously as she sniffed around and looked at the broken skeletons without too much thought as to what they were to start with. "Might take some of these bones to build a little enclosed nest somewhere amongst these ruined buildings. The fewer things that can invade my personal home the better." Oh yes, she'd find a way to conquer her own little territory!
