(this is NOT plajarism) The Last Dragon..... dun dun dun (Eldar + Star onexone)

Plot: Everything seemed at peace for once in the kingdom of Ericycca. Quiet, peaceful, no obvious problems. Slowly but steadily, though, people have noticed there seem to be less and less dragons. It's subtle enough that there is little arousle in actions, but people are still becoming unsettled. Where are they going? Why are they disappearing? Is something wrong?
Of course, the dragons disappearing directly doesn't bother most people. They are rarely seen anyways, and when they are, it's not in much of a friendly way. But magic seems to be fading as the exsistence of dragons does as well. And who knows that whatever is taking them is going to leave people at peace forever?
So many things that people worry about, but so many rumors causing more worries that the king doesn't feel it necissary to do anything.


Intro: Zorina lay on the side of a rocky mountian, overlooking a wide valley. sunbathing. Her vanbrant colored scales reflected the sun's light, leaving only it's warmth behind. Her yellow-and-orange striped tail hung off the ledge, swinging lazily from side to side. Her arms, which had leathery wings attatched to them, were folded neatly underneath her, and her eyes were only half way open. She let out a sound of content, sort of like a cat's purring. She was happy and relaxed, unawares of what was going on in the rest of the world. Which could be more unnerving for her than you'd think.
(( I apologize for the short post, Zorina isn't all that developed yet.
Now, I have to figure out a way to get Aura to fit into this.... lol.
And we have to figure out what's taking the dragons. xD I never really much liked that part of the book, so we need a new idea. ))

(( *laughs evilly* Hey, I have an idea. I should totally play an extremely stubborn and obvnoxious (but not shallow, that's the key) guy and then Selene and him could fall in love, just for the sake of irony. xD And the sake of me having more charries to play. Lols. :3
But, of course, since Selene is your character, and because you should never take all of my twist ideas seriously, you should decide. Lol.
Urg.... sorry.... I'm kind of in a hurry. Nag me to reply when I get back! ))

(( Hey, I've got an idea.... it would sorta contradict the intro, though. xD ))
Zorina snapped awake as she sensed another presence nearbye. A magical one.....
It was weak. Weaker than it should be..... but it was possible. It's not like it was the strangest thing that was going on.
Hopeful, she got up, the wings on her front arms blowing behind her in a light breeze like a cape. She quickly lifted off the mountian and turn to fly in the direction of the source. Toward the valley.
Aura Glen lay in the foothills of the mountian. Naturally, her dagger was with her, as always. And her hair was pulled into it's usual braid. But her reason for coming here; let's just say, not so usual. She was thinking. Thinking where she could have a clear head. Thinking about rumors. The rumors, the whispers that seemed to get more and more exaggerated each ear they passed through, about the dragons. The whole matter made her curious, and she'd heard plenty of different stories about it.
Of course, she didn't doubt that the dragons were disappearing at all. She'd seen dragons before with her own two eyes. And well, there were things going on all over the place, and the dragons disappearing explained all of them. The only problem she had was that everything she 'knew' was from rumors. She still had to seperate truth from superstitions, so she didn't have the slightest as to what to do about it.

(( Okay. He'll come in later. Lol.
xD Nice....
That's a shame.
Aura's never met a guy before, except for her abusive adoptive father, (yes, I know, she's messed up) so this should be fun! ^^
There are three things I love in rps: Awkwardness between charries (if you ever see a rp with Narilyn, you'll see how much I torture her. xD), People who hate each other but are forced together somehow (Hello, Tessani and Corellion. Lol. Or Tessani and Scitters, for that matter.), and romance (cause that usually brings awkwardness. xD).
It was more of an idea for me. I was just saying that because. ))
Aura looked up as she was sure she saw something pass over her head.
Her eyes met nothing but a blue sky. But she had no doubt she had seen something. Sitting up and looking to the side, she saw an orange form in the distance. Her eyes went wide. It couldn't be..... She stood up, and watched for a moment, squinting over at the thing in the distance, trying to make sure that her eyes weren't just playing tricks on her.
Zorina swooped over a sparse expanse of trees, pinpointing the source, and began to circle it. But there was nothing down there! It was just trees! Certainly not another dragon.
Crestfallen as well as confused about where the feeling had come from, she landed in the forest gracefully. Turning her head, she saw a girl slumped against the tree she'd been circling and stiffened in surprise. Had the power come from her?

(( Yes, sarcasm comes with the two hating each other. Lol.
It's gonna be fun working with you. xD
Gar. Gotta go. Again. Just pm me a remindier. Sorry. :/ ))

(( Oh, I completely forgot about irony. XD Irony is the forth thing. xD
Okay. *cup materializes in hand* *holds cup up*
*Has idea* I still don't know how we're going to make the dragons disappear, but we should make that right before it happens, the dragon falls under a disease or spell that makes them go crazy and sends their powers on the fritz. ))

As she stepped back, Zorina took a step forward. She was befuddled. But she wasn't mistaken. There was power radiating from this girl.... But why? She looked normal enough.
And she was also very aware that the girl was uneasy by her presence, but she was pretty used to that. Not like she'd bother herself to care. "Who are you?" she demanded in a brisk, but melodic tone. "Why do I sense magic coming from you?"
And then the dragon disappeared into the trees.
Aura grunted in frusturation, and shock. A dragon? She wasn't sure if she'd ever see one of those again...... She fell back onto her heel, just realizing that she'd been standing on her toes just to get a proper glimpse of the beast. The minute her heals hit the ground, she was off, running toward where the dragon had landed.

(( XXXXXXDDDDDDD I'm sorry, I wrote that poorly. When I said 'and then the dragon disappeared into the trees', I was switching back to Aura's point of veiw. xD She's still standing there. Sorry.
But I like the idea.
xD I just read it a few months ago. He doesn't want them gone. He forced them into the ocean because their beauty is the only thing that makes him happy.... blah blah blah, phsycotic oppressive king, you get the idea.
Yeah..... NOT gonna happen. ))

(( "Why do these things always happen to me?"
~X~
Because the person behind the computer controlling your every move says so.
Yeah. That book is kind of depressing. ))
Zorina, usually even tempered, was now slightly irritated by the girl's sarcasm since... well, she was still confused and not really in the mood for it right now. She drew back her lip in a light snarl, her claws dug into the dirt, and she arched her back. You could just imagine her fur bristling, if she had any.
But reminding herself that threatening the girl wouldn't do any good, she relaxed, and lifted her head slightly. "My name is Zorina. But I doubt that tells you anything."
She pulled her lip back again. "Now answer my question."
Aura weaved her way quickly through the trees until she could make out the orange creature she'd seen before through the trees. She came closer and took shelter behind a nearbye tree. Just until she knew what was going on. She was talking to someone else. A girl. She strained her ears to hear the conversation.

(( xD
Now for the problem of, who's playing the wizard?
Since it made the effort of refraining from eating her alive
~X~
*falls out of chair laughing* ))

Zorina was back to being completely confused. Is it possible my powers are not working? she thought, puzzled. She mulled over the thought in her head, triple checking if she still sensed magic from the girl. There was no doubt about it. It was sharp and strong, if not quite having the feeling of being unearthed. She couldn't beleive that she would make such a mistake, even if there were something wrong with her powers. Maybe it was her that didn't know about them.....
Drowning out most else of what the girl said, she just snapped out of her dazed state when she asked what she was. Zorina gave her a judging glance, as if she expected her to already know this, but answered nonetheless, "I am a dragon, of course."
Aura, yet to reveal herself, was somewhat glad that the girl asked. She had figured that out awhile ago, but the answered confirmed it.

(( xD Alright. My friend and I pretty much rp each other's NPC's all the time, so I should be able to adapt. }:-} ))

Zorina let out a frusturated growl. Quite honestly, the very same question still baffled her.
"Yes," she answered the question the best she could, "I can sense magic as you can see or feel. As for you, my senses may be playing tricks on me, but I doubt it. There is something very strong coming from you, but it seems muffled, like it has not yet been aroused. Zorina shifted into sort of a crouching position, putting her muzzle to the ground, but still kept a close eye on the girl.
Aura's interest perked. She had heard of dragons having special senses, but had never acually witnessed it herself. And the girl, who was apparently magic, seemed very confused by this all. Of course dragons were real! Did she think that just because she had never seen one it wasn't there?
Well, that might very well be true now. And that's what puzzled her. Where had this dragon come from?

Zorina watched her carefully, noting her unusually sharp teeth. But she didn't say anything.
"Perhaps if you don't realize that you have it," Zorina offered, much more for Selene than for herself.
(( Meh. Writer's block. ))

Zorina watched her for a long minute, seeming almost sorry for the girl, if not slightly agitated.
"Yes. That is true. But denial can be stronger than you think," she remarked. (she hit that nail on the head. xD)
Then she looked over to the trees and saw a slight movement. Becoming suddenly alert, she stood up striaght. "Who's there? Show yourself."
Damn! Aura chastized herself for not being more careful. Maybe if she just lay low....
"Come on! I haven't got all day!"
Or not.....
She stepped out catiously from behind the tree. There was no way she was lowering her head. She had to see how badly the two reacted.....

(( xD
XXXXDDDDD Wow, and here comes the hammer right back at Aura. ))
"What are you doing here?...." Zorina growled, narrowing her eyes suspiciously.
Aura gave one glance over at Selene, her calm expression soothing her a bit, but now she had to attempt not to tick off the one she was more worried about upsetting. "Acually, I came to ask you just that question."
Zorina was caught off guard, but did not loose composure. "Explain yourself."
She nodded, clasping her hands together in an uncertain motion. But she'd already got herself into this. What's the worst that could happen?
She had to refrain from wincing. Okay, not the best pep talk.
Deciding to just spit it out, she began, "I just saw you in the valley, and it's been so long since I've seen one of your kind. What with all these rumors going around, I had thought dragons were gone."
