[She watches the Dark Lands... And thinks. Changes were everywhere. They came with mistakes or purpose. And now it was time to clean up their act and get moving. That's right. Everyone! So show your mangled faces for I have some judgements to pass. Things were going to change.. it seemed everyone, including herself, had hit an all time low. The Evils were still well respected but they seemed to be losing fear in their enemies eyes. That would be a change as well. The sable steps forth to speak with calmness, a coll collectiveness around her form as her tone reinforced her authority. Yes, there was anew King & Queen. And she would respect them and remain faithful unless some reason proved otherwise. I am not haughty. I am not shallow. I simply know]

Darks, here my words. We have hit an all time low. But from it we can only rise. Rise back to the top. So collect your fellow Evils...Common Sense, my sister, is now Queen of the Lights. She is still gaining the trust of the Lights. If we do this right, we can either help or hinder her. What do I speak of? A war my friends. Isis wished to gain control of all the lands.. At least the Lights. I have a different idea. If we keep the Lights from trusting their leaders..From rising to the top, who will always remain number one? Us. Play the cards right and the Lights will turn on themselves. If any have opinions or other ideas, let them be known. For now I will listen and your words will not fall 'pon deaf ears.

[She fell silent, pondering. Other things must be done. The Underworld was of no concern for her as long as it's Prince & Princess were corrupted by darkness. Everdark.. A different story. Raistlin would be dealt with.. Oh yes. The Shadow Lord would feel the wrath of the Darks & Lights alike. If he thought the birth of their children would help.. No.. It would only hinder. She had great things planned for her progeny]

A laugh comes from the shadowed labyrinth and Dark Tiger emerges from them, her eyes as cold as her body in death, blooshot and white-rimmed. Winged beast that was she smiled, wicked fangs of polished ivory glinting in the dim light.

A war? How lovely, how utterly lovely. Mayhaps, I can enact some revenge upon the East. I so itch to do the deed that I have sworn to do, and whenst this war be over I shall have Loh's head 'pon a stake.

No, he wasn't real, just a figment of imagination that portrayed himself in the dier aptitude of need; it was his time to set forth and whisper upon the darkening grounds of which he used to wander. Damn death, Osiris silently thought, and set his ghostly, crystalline talon to his face. But, no matter, he was simply in their minds...

But fvck, if Osiris had one pet peeve, he had a hundred, and this happened to be his first and utmost inquiry in which he was serverly pissed off. Closing his magnified, scarlet orbs, a wave of fury shoots through his diabolic, ominous features; gripping himself for impact. And though he speaks, it's a mere whisper, reverberating within the folds of the mind's of those present.

As you all know, I am obsessed with my pride. So, why would we attack when they are weak? That would mean we are weak and afraid to meet what comes next. My choice would be to wait and gather those up to train; but of course, it's only Osiris talking.

He was grim in the fact that they proposed the Darks to be merciless and all powerful; for one thing, they were not. They had to face the fact that many of their inferior did not know how to fight in such circumstances. Merely half the population, maybe less, fought in the war last time. But, did they want to do this? To diminish their equality and dominance even more? Osiris solemnly wished her were alive once more, to set some sense into these creatures that gathered. But, shit, he wasn't and damn the effect of death. Mrr. But now, he would hover over them like shadows. Little shadow Osiris. Beware.

His eyes glittering with bright light, his whole form alive and excited, the amethyst youth nods sharply, agreeing definetely with Osiris's words. "Osiris is right. We must become a fighting people, not a mere militia fighting purely on hatred and adrenaline. The territories ought to be restructured fully, into warpacks. From the age of a hatchling every Dark in every land must be taught that we must be stronger, must be quicker, must be stronger, alert every minute- then we can and will prevail." He pauses a moment to meet the eyes of those present with his own vigorous deep purple gaze. "I vote we begin training programs immediately, requiring all to keep muscles, instincts, and tactics finely honed. Everyone must take the Ordeal- we need all the magic power we can get. Leadership needs to be constantly tested as well- a poor leader can make a mess of even the best-trained dragons."

He turns to B&C with a sharp smile. "Normally, B&C, I respect and admire your general judgement, but in this case I truly believe that if we go to war with no specific advantages, not even our natural bloodlust can necessarily see us through." There is something in the young drake's expression, something never seen before- such independance, such fierce determination and cunning. "If we had solid leadership, and well-established, consistently active territories, then perhaps it would be wise to try your tactic. But, in all honesty, we ourselves are in too much of a mess to embark on such an expedition at this time, in my opinion."

He fully realized that he had no experience in this matter and his ideas would not matter as he was still only a dracling, if King. So trustingly he stood by his older brother's side. He respected Bob's thoughts, and agreed with them.

Dark Tiger heard Osiris's voice, and she smiled remembering her own spiritual wanderings as he does now. She spoke softly, her voice barely coherant to her own ears, but she knew he heard her:

Ossie, what you say brings thoughts to me. I am eager to do my deed, but mayhaps I can stand and wait.

She smiled and continued:

Death is a horrid thing, is it not? Ye' are powerless, a meer shadow that haunts the shadow of the Dark things we are now. I have experianced Death, and I...more then others understand your yearning for mortality again.

~@~
As blood courses through her veins,
As her heart continues to beat in it's steady rhythm,
She yearns to challenge,
though how far she shall go is incertain.

This new creature, this dormant spirit is now again whole,
and yet...as is her passion for destruction.

This is not the same Dragoness whom before lived.
She is more.
She is less.
She is a pawn of Evil.

As ebon glints within her cold eyes,
as her flesh glints the same,
she yearns for the ever-incrasing lust to kill,
but how far her lust will go is uncertain.

This pawn of Evil,
this creature...
Once friend of many,
is now a Destroyer.

Dark Tiger she was dubbed,
but no more is she this.
Her name stands the same, yet..
this name no longer fits.

Death was unjust,
yet life is also:
a Rebellion from her former self.

The Destroyer.
The Rebellious.

[She listens to each one's opinions, listens to what each must say. With some she agress and others she didn't. And as she never had trouble with expressing what she thought.. Now it's time to speak once again]

Osiris.. How thoughtful of you to cling to us. Now shouldn't you be moping around in the Underworld?

[Words may be harsh but she was bitter about his sudden death. Well, maybe not so sudden but it still put her at an unease. Along with the birth of his children. Now she casts her hellish gaze towards Bob, a complex being with a simple name. And one she respected just as he respected her]

Yes, Osiris is right as are you. Infact, the idea had only just popped into my mind until you suggested it. I think that at least three dragons and/or dragoness's should be chosen form each territory and begin to train their fellow Evils. Perhaps the selected Trainers can be chosen from mocks or Ordeal experiance. Or simple knowledge of past events.

[So now was the Age of Solitude, when all Lands remained secretive and at unease. They were not weak, no Osiris was wrong there. And how extremly unthoughtful to suggest such a thing. But keep the ball rolling, keep the ideas coming. Smirk was sent in DT's direction. Soon enough dear, you will seek your revenge 'pon LoH]

His head tilted to one side, he smiles slightly. The events in the dragon land had a curious habit of going around and around - as if attached to a wheel. One could guess what would happen the next day if one was attentive. Onyx eyes flicker towards the young King; the one new event. Unexpected, but that did not mean much. The old generation still reigned, and the younger generation was still learning. Learning from the older generation.

When he sees Wytch Hazel his smile broadens unexpectantly. It is indeed interesting that one so young is so interested in the proceedings. A trait of the Shadows? He shrugs mildly, shifting his attention to the conversation at hand.

A quick, elusive smile slips across his features, but does not tarry long; he has little time for such expression, now. The small purple drake's face hardens once more, unreadable except for his powerful amethyst eyes, shimmering with intelligence stoked by the flames of youth. With those gradually-darkening eyes he gazes long and hard upon Dark Tiger. Death in these parts really doesn't seem to have the same negative impact it does elsewhere in these mountains, does it? His thoughts are wry and private as he contemplates the conversation and what he next intends to say.

Seating himself in a sphynx-like pose, wings lifted slightly from his sides, long, slender head swivelling variously to listen carefully to each speaker in their turn, nodding at appropriate intervals. Finally he speaks, voice quiet and unassuming but alive with ringing, bell-like clarity. "As we all are wont to repeat, the old days are over. Superior as indeed we are, I hope we all have learned that any victories we gain by simply gathering what strength we have and diving into battle are short-lived, satisying though they may be at the time. The proof for this is, as the saying goes, in the pudding: namely, the Lights are still around. Essentially I've come to the conclusion that no matter how many of their irritating royalty we murder, the Lights keep rising back up, more determined each time if not any stronger or more intelligent. Now a new era has begun for all of us. I propose we take utmost advantage of it, because from past experience it seems unlikely the Lights will be clever enough to do the same." Standing, wings raised, his tone changes slightly, becoming stronger, deeper somehow- more self-assured, farther reaching. "But the key is that we have to act fast, and be as covert as possible. If the Lights find out, they'll panic and respond in kind. They can't know too much about this until we want them to."

[Her thoughts became well gaurded as the Shadow appeared. Hmm.. Raistlin was an extremly powerful ally for the Darks, but what if he wished to turn them into fools. Play behind their backs and strike up a deal with CS.. After all..He only fought for himself and his precious Everdark. This decision would not be decided 'pon she. Yet it was clearly known that she did not approve as her crimson gaze narrowed 'pon Bob. There was little time for the Lights were suspicious.. A trait that seemed to grow on them.

There was no point in denying it; he was useless. Youngster, untrained, and inexperienced. He was nothing compared to these veterans who had lived through so many deaths, wars, and murders. His teeth clenched tightly in frustration to hear the adults speak. It wasn't fair, his position, so he would just have to change it himself.

"Raistlin." Stepping from where he had "hid" by Bob's side, he raised his eyes in hope of meeting the Shadow's formidable gaze. "I am young; too young to know anything of use to anyone. What I can do, Bob can do ten times better... ten times more. You say you will train those who wish it. Will you train me?"

Though normally he might have added a nice, polite "please", he felt that in this circumstance the word was inappropriate - a sign of weakness. His eyes were enough with the half-plead submerged in their depths; the natural strength of the dracling masking all other emotion as he awaited the elder's response.

DT snarled again, her temper rising as it seemed to do often recently, and she got to her feet to speak now, ebon scales glinting wicked, like the Dragoness was a vase filled with poisonous flowrs, beautiful to look at it; deadly to the touch. Her voice was harsher now as she spoke, a hiss in every word:

This war is being seeked all wrong! Every aspect can eiether make us or kill us, everything about this is too 'iffy,' what makes this battle diffrent then any other fought on Dragon soil?
What makes this diffrent then our other searchings for conquest? Mayhaps, we shpould learn from our mistakes instead of going into it blindly again!

Optics go to Bob:

What you speak of is true, Dragonkind has reached a new era. But is it possible that this new era will set the name of Darkness in stone or foresaken in the hands of Time?
I ask of you this: my fellow Darks, can we learn from the past now? Or will we fly blind?

She lay back down, again serene, though eyes remained wicked and poisonous.

The Death of our kind will not happen..the death of the Lights, that must be set in stone.

She spoke these words softly.

His eyes followed the Shadow lord. He could not be sure of what had gone on in the past between the darks and Everdark, but he did realize that a chance had come to learn; he should take it. The one thing that bothered him was the indication that the adults may not allow him to be trained by Raistlin. Allow? The young King finally tore his eyes away to glance among his elders. In this one circumstance he would not not be allowed this. He needed this. If he were to be as good, or even better, than his mother he would have to work for it.

The dark side needed this.

They could not take the chance of Everdark siding with the lights - could not the adults see that? An alliance with the Shadows would be good, they should all take a chance with it and learn from it. The darks, his darks, should learn what they could from the Shadows.

But then... he might as well as stay on his elders' good sides, right?

"Bob, Blood & Chocolate, Oberon?" He named the dragons gathered that he knew; reminding him that it was time to become very, very social. "Would any of you mind if I was trained by Raistlin?"

OOC- Lousy, LOUSY post. I think my muse, if I ever had one to begin with, fled. Anyways, has Raistlin left or is he waiting around for an answer? I'm a bit confused with the word "pace".

Bob�s expression does not alter as Raistlin makes his offer, his stony gaze not giving an inch, meeting the strange eyes of the Shadow Lord, an old enemy and enigma to the young Prince. Though those eyes look older and cloudier than ever, the body weakened by all he has been through, the Shadow�s black heart has clearly lost none of its devious fervor, its cruel unpredictability. Out of the corner of his eye he notices B&C�s expression. Odd, I thought she would have been the first to approve. After all, she�s the one who had an affair with him. With a mental shrug he temporarily dismisses the matter, staring into the decrepit drake�s eyes long and hard. When he speaks his tone reveals nothing. �Well. An Alliance between Everdark and Dark, eh? But an Alliance is somehow so� formal. What about more of an agreement? I scratch your back, you scratch mine, style of thing?� The canny young purple drake would be a true fool to trust the self-ordained master of deception; Everdark and Raistlin both serve their own needs first and foremost.

Turning to his brother a soft smile cracks the hardening of his features, but he says nothing. Tarquin, you�re cleverer than everyone thinks you are. I know you won�t be brainwashed by him. Allowing the dracling to take the first steps onto his own path unhindered, the elder brother�s eyes narrow as Dark Tiger speaks.

His voice turns dry. �Dark Tiger, your rhetoric is inspiring indeed but to write in stone one needs a chisel. The Darks at present are little more than a crude mallet, if even that. Learning from our mistakes? Why, of course! The veterans of past wars would teach youngsters what we did right and what we did wrong. We are not seeking war yet. We are seeking a new system that will allow us to win the war, when it happens. And by win I don�t mean merely Light casualties, Light rulers murdered. I mean the end of Lights, full stop. And clearly that can�t be achieved by our present blithe methods. We�ve got the brawn and the numbers. Now we need a system that will make the best conceivable use of them.�

The eldest Prince�s eyes are aflame again. �Now, at this turning point, is where we decide the future. Do we continue to fight futile wars, or do we prepare properly, learn, study, spy and train�. And then destroy the Lights finally, when they least expect it? Those in favor of restructuring territories into warpacks� those in favor of my plan� say aye. Those against, say nay. Those who think my plan is a start, but have more to contribute, do so!�

If you think it best to train with Raistlin, then do so.: His obsidian eyes then turn towards Dark Tiger, so newly having returned to them.

The dracling steps up slowly. Her mother, the warrior? Did that not have some giving blood in her veins? Her muscles tense, as if in hesitation, but she slides back to her position. She would never be allowed....but more than anything, she wanted to fight. For her father? Nay....well, athough she had not had proper time to aquaint with a fatherly figure in her life. But she wanted to fight. The bloodlust, the victory....it all appealed.

..A.l.l.i.a.n.c.e.?..
Do you suppose it lucky to be born?
I hastily reinform those it just as lucky to die.

Silently the lanky beauty emerges her stunning emerald form from the shadows.
Taking a stance by her friend Blood and Chocolate as she nudged her, inaudibly saying she is with the ebon warrioress.
For the first time, she sent Prince Bob a smile. For long she hadn't the best of thoughts of the young Prince. She never hated him, no no, not even close. She actually liked him a bit. She admired his intelligence, for a dragon under the age of 10 he spoke like a battle-worn elder. Wise and rational. Though he could hold a nasty grudge if he wanted to of course. And stubborn as a mule at that. A perfect Prince, you may say.
Speculating over this still forming plan, the lovely Gaia Sovereign sent her thoughts mentally to thee raven B&C. She wasn't the brightest of these dragon higher than she is rank, and she knew that if her imput was silly, B&C would tell her through mind and not humiliate her. She had had enough humiliation to last past her lifetime.
..~*~..My friend, what if we brought large armies of our preeminent warriors 'pon each TT at the same time. A sudden strike to keep the majority of the Lights busy. Some of those in Celestial Stargaze may depart to aid their friends, leaving only a few to guard the Royals. T'would make an attack on them much easier. Or perhaps if we sent a few Darks, unknown to them, undercover as Lights to live there before we attack. They could fight the guards while one of us went for the Royalty, hmm? This is just my two cents, you, Raist and Bob are the true professionals here when it comes to War Strategy..~*~..
Setting down her slender form, she gazes 'round for her Diciples-Crystal's Tear and her eldest son. For they were Gaians in need of heavy training. Especially if they are to fight, most likely, in this upcoming War.
Her everglowing prisms flash to the Shadowlord, a warmth growing in them, she she elegantly rises. Gliding on frail limbs to him, her muzzle brushing 'gainst his neck as she now places herself next to him. A soft whisper tickles his ear, though the words emitted are most serious and important, to her at least.

..~*~..My, Everdark and the Darks, allied? If this proposal goes through, or not, I offer an alliance of the Gaians to the Shadows. Forever having our aid and loyalty, for I, at least, see your kind a bit superior to my dwindling breed. Nearly extinct are we, and could have all the help we can get. What say you, Shadowlord?..~*~..

She stay still next to her dear, her nose gently grazing his ear and cheek as she waited his response. She dearly hoped he'd say yes to her own proposal of alliance. But if he said no...her kind shall surely go extinct if nothing rash yet brilliant was done. Having a thought that maybe having the aid and trust of the Shadows may help save the last few of the Gaias. though even if there where a thousand Gaias, she'd still offer what she has. Out of loyalty to him, and love.

"I am fog and fickle mist
I am all that can't be tamed
I am born of devil's kiss
Sear potential unrestrained,
I do not know what haunts me,
What saddened my mind all day;
An age-old tale confounds me,
A spell I cannot allay...."

[She thinks silently, digesting Ezzy's words. Letting them roll in her mind. Her sister, her neices and nephews. Royals. It seems the female balks, the warriro hesitates. Everyone liked to geuss what the raven's weakness was. Love..maybe..Pride..perhaps. But no, if anything could get her... The warrior's weakness was family. The words slowly form and echo in the Gaiains mind]

What exactly do you plan on doing to the Royals? Any ideas on what is in store for them?

..K.n.o.w.i.n.g..
Intently she heard the femme's words, sensed with all her attuned senses the well hidden feelings o' the warrior.
She knew that each Light Royal now was a member of B&C family. She knew B&C showed a fondness for her Neices and Nephews, she could see it when they visited. She knew not of her true thoughts on her Light sister, but her idea was a sort of test to possibly aquire a grasp on that subject.
..~*~..I shall do whatever you ask of me, Blood and Chocolate. I know they are your family, I truely know not how you feel about them, but I have an idea, how ever small it is. Perhaps if you kept them as prisoners here, forever, and spare their lives. But, it is yours to decide. I am beside you, as always..~*~..

[No response is uttered as she struggled with her inner turmoil. Her sister, the Light Queen, had been the one to raise and take pity 'pon her. Yes, the suggestion of War had been hers. Yes, she had agreed with Bob's plan. She would fight and destroy the Lights. All of them..Except her family. It wasn't even her decision but she would keep them alive. Once, long ago, she had tried to kill her sister in the 2nd War and had not succeeded. Because she didn't want to. But would the other's understand..Not only that but Soul Desire had been light. Her desire]

DT silenced quickly at B&C's response though when Ezzy came she grinned at her friend.

Ah, Ezzy, glad of you to join our 'party.'

She nodded slightly at Bob, showing the young prince she meant no ounce of harm by her somewhat harsh sarcasm. She winked at the prince and turned her eyes to Oberon:

Bob is a wonderful prince, I shan't say he wasent. He's saved my hide from the bloody East once and for that I am in his debt. I speak not angrily, I would trust him with my life: though what life it is I lead I am uncertain.
My sarcasm is mearly for my own benifit, I must have something to ease what pain lies within, pain none of you could ever comprehend.

She snarled and said softly to herself:

I will overthrow LoH, then mayhaps..the Dark Lair itself?

Maw formed into a sneer and then she looked 'pon the others again, again her face cold.

+_+_+I used D&D stuff for Raist's thoughts. They are actually very accurate. Lawful is just living evil by the rules, chaotic is doing whatever necessary within slight limitations to gain whatever, and neutral is true evil. hehe

Every moment his vigor is growing- the young drake's mind scintillates with intelligence, intelligence perhaps acquired from his strange past and unknown parents, or perhaps absorbed by some form of intellectual osmosis from his mother and the other reigning Darks. Every breath gives him immense pleasure- he feels lucky simply to be alive in this Time of Changes, and finally able to shine, truly in his element. Many challenges lie now before him, many hurdles he must clear... and with his youth he is sure to fall on at least some.

He nods elegantly at the beautiful Lady of the Gaians, inexplicably riled by the snake-like charmer Shadow even being in her proximity. "Your kind has much to offer us, and we have much to share with you. I would love to further contemplate your thoughts on strategy." The amethyst drake reaches out a talon, to seal the deal with a shake.

He offers one of his odd little smiles to B&C, then turns his slim head to face Raistlin, his expression clouding once more. "Fine. We shall be agreed. An Alliance of equals, a lasting friendship between your race and my kingdom. How about it?�

But then he sees the Shadow disappear, and a small smirk appears on his features. "Well, then, you have just wasted an excellent opportunity. What a terrible, terrible shame, Raistlin dearest."

His mind laughs at the ebony Lord's underestimation of the amethyst beast. Ahh, what an excellent advantage, to be underestimated so. Lawful? He scoffs internally. Laws exist merely to attempt to keep dragons like him in line!

{OOC: Yes, yes, I know Raistlin's musings about Lawful, Neutral and Chaotic were thoughts, but I had to have my Bobby-boy comment. Forgive me!}

..|~*~|..

..F.a.i.t.h..
From night to night, my journey,
The long pilgrimage before me.
From day to day, my journey,
The stories that will be forever.

Ah, what nice circumstances have unfolded! The Shadows now at 'peace' with the Darks, and after some discussions, the Gaians with the Shadows. How woderfully this all played out wouldn't you say? Perhaps the Darks shall put an end to the Light infestation for good.
Her lov'ly prisms watch with sorrow and understanding as her new love had vanished. An annoying yet envious trick of the Shadow. Guess they won't have that discussion, or whatnot, in her chambers afterall.
Pausing, she eyed the Prince thoughtfully with a single, side-glancing optic. T'was the first time they agreed on something, much less he ever asking her for anything she was willing to offer. Gracefully, her turns to face him respectfully, taking elegant steps forward and eventually taking his claw in her own slight one. Speaking in a humourous tone, as with Dark Tiger, her way of keeping sane and masking a pain that bores O so very deep within.

..~*~..Well, perhaps now you'll have the Gaian's full loyalty and trust, eh Prince Bob? Though I am flattered that you wish to inquire an old crone as me..~*~..

Shifting to the Prince's side, she sent DArk Tiger a warm smile and welcoming nod. Hoping that she still held her vow to aid and protect the emerald. The elder dragoness still was a strong and fearsome as ever, if not more. As much as she didn't want to admit it, she possibly will need some help. Age was catching up to her, she no longer had the stamina she once had, stamina the young DT had. Nor the speed.
Her cool eyes gazing at each and all 'round her, t'was crucial times. Each child needed training, each adult practice and improvment, each elder and veteren needed to teach and, possibly, reparticipate. The Gaia herself hadn't ever truely participated in the Wars of the past. She only sat back and waited, uncalled, un-needed, unwanted. How she wanted to be of use this time, for it may be her last. And she'll serve her last to her furthest capabilities, indeed.

..~*~..Now, shall we discuss our tactics here? Or elsewhere in a more private and secluded area? 'Tis your hour, Prince Bob. I know you shall lead us well..~*~..

Eyeing the Prince she placed a talon 'pon his shoulder. Eyes avoiding the sable warrior as she spoke once more to her through her haunted mind
..Ask what you need of me and I'll obey, dear friend. Ask me and I'll kill any you wish, or protect if desired. I do not want this War, for without Lights what are Darks? But I cannot stop the will of those higher than myself, and this is what our Isis wanted. So I shall participate, and give my all to be of help this time around. I shan't fail once again, I won't let myself..

And so she waited, and vowed ever so faithfully, even if her vow contradicted her shattered mind and heart. But she still vowed her faithful vow.
"I am fog and fickle mist
I am all that can't be tamed
I am born of devil's kiss
Sear potential unrestrained,
I do not know what haunts me,
What saddened my mind all day;
An age-old tale confounds me,
A spell I cannot allay...."

Ezmerelda,

She stays within the shadows though she is not hidden. Her flame covered body would never allow that. The orange and yellow flames lick about her hide, part of it.

Have you heard nothing that was said Blood Lust?

[Warrioress lets herself become distracted, listening to Ezzy as she glanced to the emerald Gaian. What to do.. What to do? Conflicted she was, for she had brought up the suggestion of War herself to bring unity with her people, the Evils. Her response is slow]

I am not sure. All Lights can be spared.. Except for my family. If anything happened to CS, Rage would be devestated and would seek revenge. As would the rest of the family. All Lights can be killed, except for the Royals.
