Subject: A tall black pegasus mare swoops in, silver hooves draped in long, black feathers slicing into the soft ground as she lands... Author: Calliope [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:32:48 04/22/01 Sun Eyes skyward, she cries out to the great dragons above her. *I would like to challenge one of you - any will do.* Her silver eyes reflect the dim light. *I'd like to try for the power of healing, but I understand that this is rare. If this power is unavailable, I would like the power of transcendence.* She bows slightly, and steps back. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date The red dragon inclines her head downward,peering at the mare with a large eye.A slow smile spreads across her features like flowing lava.>> Emerald Fire 20:08:55 04/22/01 Sun Silver eyes shining with determination, she speaks with confidence. *I'd prefer a physical challenge, but only if I may use my power...* >> -- Calliope, 14:51:24 04/23/01 Mon [OOC: Whoops, forgot my stats. Calliope is a 7 year old pegasus mare - essentially, a winged friesian. She's Lead Mythical mare, mate of Calydor, and very magically experienced. She was one of the mages who fought the Mage Storm.] -- Calliope's player, 14:56:05 04/23/01 Mon The dragon grins."You may use any power you like,but be ready to stretch it to the limit.You seem a capable sort." (OOC:Thank you for being so informative,I have been stressed out of my mind by standardized testing.It helps greatly.A note to future challengers!)>>> -- Emerald Fire, 21:41:55 04/23/01 Mon [OOC: I understand! Prarie States, APs, SATs, ACTs and SAT IIs in the next month! Rock on! :)] Calliope freezes, completely motionless. She tightens her Shields, and, moving slowly, bends her knees. Her wings and legs twitch with energy. Suddenly, she leaps, spreading her wings, taking to the skies around the fighting grounds. Her speed keeps her unscorched.>> -- Calliope, 04:41:29 04/24/01 Tue The dragon snarls angrily,batting at her face.She shuts her eyes and reabsorbs the energy,soothing her injured head.Whipping her head foward,fast as a striking snake,she snatches the mare by her tail.With a petulant toss of her head,she flings Calliope like a frisbee.>>> -- Emerald Fire, 21:54:59 04/24/01 Tue [OOC: he he he. :) Nice!] Opening her massive wings, she uses not power, but a little bit of physics to break her fall, swooping back up into the air. She flies high above the dragon for a moment, thinking... -- Calliope, 04:28:14 04/25/01 Wed The dragoness grins,and dips into her magic store herself.SHutting her eyes,as much to block out the annoying little mare as to concentrate,she maliciously brings foward her defense.>> -- Emerald Fire, 19:12:45 04/25/01 Wed [Nice one! I'm impressed!] The mental blast, silver-blue in her mind, roars as it races back towards her... -- Calliope, 04:22:58 04/26/01 Thu [Swearing...tsk tsk] The dragoness blinks,unimpressed at the 'hey look over there!'diversion.>> -- Emerald Fire, 21:25:30 04/26/01 Thu Tapping gently on the dragon's temple, she smiles before gouging her sharp silver hooves into the dragon's right eye. She sprints off, shielding herself from any physical or magical attack, before swooping around behind the dragon's ahead, leaping through the shadows, where her black coat intermittently blends in. -- Calliope, 03:53:56 04/27/01 Fri The dragon hisses angrily,and roars out flames in all directions. She sends cooling energy to her eye, resoothing it.Snarling, she swings her head to search for the mare.Grinning,her nightvision(they have a feline cortex,with partial reptilian aspects...I'm a scientist!=p)all but spotlights the flying mare. -- Emerald Fire, 18:54:51 04/27/01 Fri [ARG! I hate evolution of non real characters!!!! :)] Calliope squeals in pain, frozen for a moment. -- Calliope, 22:13:35 04/27/01 Fri Oh,you think your'e tough now,huh? Inside>>(hee hee! Good one! =p) -- Emerald Fire, 11:55:36 04/29/01 Sun Calliope does a quick scan of the dragonesses mind. *Tsk tsk. So transparent...* -- Calliope, 12:32:00 04/29/01 Sun Let's start a new thingie, shall we? :) Calli's player 12:34:19 04/29/01 Sun I was just gonna do that,but you beat me to it.>>> -- Emerald Fire, 17:36:11 04/29/01 Sun Hackles raised, the mare focuses inward, drawing energy from any source she can, just in case. *What's that?* As she speaks, she takes into account the incredible size and grandeur of the dragon... she catches herself staring. -- Calliope, 19:29:25 04/29/01 Sun She places the mare on the ground in front of her and stretches herself out."Get past me.Without wings or magic.Use agility and natural thought. This is a physical challenge after all.She blocks any way around her,and unfurls her wings.Baring her teeth,her voice thunders forth."Come on,I'm waiting.">> -- Emerald Fire, 22:01:54 04/29/01 Sun Calliope blinks, dumbfounded. *Get past...oh gods...*>> -- Calliope, 04:14:14 04/30/01 Mon She clicks her talons impatiently,and swings her tail foward.>> -- Emerald Fire, 06:40:11 04/30/01 Mon [OOC: AH! Gotcha. Okley :)] Calliope rears, tossing her head, frustrated at her inability to think clearly. Suddenly, she sees!>>> -- Calliope, 17:44:51 04/30/01 Mon Snarling,she whips her long neck around and nudges Calliope back to the front."Nice try, but you can't use those piles of feathers on your torso in anytrhing involving flight. Her grin is quite smug,and she bares teeth threateningly at the mare.>> -- Emerald Fire, 21:22:04 04/30/01 Mon Cursing under her breath, Calliope looks desperately for some answer to her final challenge. Rearing, she sees a small space, just barely wide enough for her to fit her body through>>> -- Calliope, 04:02:51 05/01/01 Tue The dragonness's reactions are quick,but this confuses her for a moment,and she braces her leg further,giving the mare a wider space to travel through,unknowingly.Her spur glitters dangerously,and she waits for the mare's frontal attack. (NT) -- Emerald Fire, 06:45:47 05/01/01 Tue As the mare leaps through the opening between the dragoness's forepaw and abdomen, she tries to tilt her body to one side, to dodge the spur. *I hope Calydor can still heal me...if I make this leap...* -- Calliope, 14:35:01 05/01/01 Tue She slams her spur,hoping to gouge the mare completely.All she succeeds in doing is making a slash on her hide.Her snarl of frustration resonates throughout the cave.>> -- Emerald Fire, 21:28:00 05/01/01 Tue She gasps with pain as she lands, nearly collapsing under the initial shock. She manages to stand, legs sprawled, eyes closed, hoping the pain will die... but she sees her own blood cascading down to the cavern floor.>> -- Calliope, 04:25:58 05/02/01 Wed The dragoness chuckles softly,the sound having an oddly kind note to it."All right,as you wish.">> -- Emerald Fire, 06:35:43 05/02/01 Wed Calliope stretches her healed wings, silver eyes shining with gratitude and accomplishment. *Thank you, Emerald Fire.* Beaming, the black mare takes to the skies, back to her home. -- Calliope, 14:50:54 05/02/01 Wed
