The cavern built for royalty glistened in the flickering of oil lamps hung in various corners, bringing a crimson tint to the air. Only the sounds of the gentle fountain that flowed from the ceiling to the dark pool that was cracked into the floor. A flat slab of rock rested off to the side, containing rolled up scrolls, a skull holding a jeweled sword of the last dragon-hunter she had encountered, and a collection of "gifts" she had recieved over time.

Her Prized Gifts:
A small jeweled necklace (Darkness)
The Blood Ruby (Traum)
An amethyst on a gold chain (Oberon)
A diamond on an opal pendant (Drako)
A blackpearl necklace on a golden chain, engraved on the clasp with: ~*‡To My Devine‡*~ (Tiberius)
Glass pendant on a silver chain (Jopar and Lona
A dagger (Crusader)

But the jewels were faded by a thin coat of dust. Care no longer met them now that their owner had faded...vanished to a world better left unknown. The Dark Lair


Subject: Bob enters, helping Oberon carry the prone form of the fallen Queen. "We need a healer! Fast! I don't know how much longer she can last."

Isis...
This is a gift of peace between you and myself. I hope it is good enough, for I am constantly watching the Light queen, making sure my pupils dont end up killing her. What I have placed upon your draclings neck is a necklace of conquest and power. Of evil and of victory. Allow her to wear it, for it shows her dignity and beauty so much more, a piece of my heart stone from my Shadow dragon heart placed inside the necklace itself. Our hearts do not make us age... She will have a long life... and the beauty that she has gotten from her mother will not fade. Only this gift is given to her because of her strength, her evil, her mother. I wish you both good luck... Isis, the necklace I give you is not the same... Yet it is etched with power and magic itself. Wear it for beauty and even more strength, for the shadows of my kind will always be with you when it is wore. Good luck, I say to you... Isis, and Halette.

+ necklace of gold and sapphire glitter upon the dracling +

Subject: "Eknath, Styx." Pronouncing their names in an almost-British accent, she then guides them closer to her. She eyed the silk goose-feather cusions on the oppposing wall of the cavern, far enough away that she would have to leave her children but a moment. Merely a moment, but too long for her to chance. But how may I rule when my only care is to protect them? The thought dissapates, as she hears one cry.

Her hatchlings are now hungry beasts. The Queen fetches a strip of fresh deer meat to each, bringing forth the appetizing aroma of the uncooked flesh. The meat was boneless, soft enough for their teeth to tear. Calling them, again, by name, she eyes the hatchlings around her, seeing to it that none suffered in any degree.

·The final egg shivers, and a crack penetrates the length of it. A silver dragon emerges, and his metallic scales shimmer in the dib light of the golden cavern. Large opal eyes turn upward, in search of his golden mother. He cheeps loudly, announcing that he was here. Carefully spreading four paws, he rises shakily and flaps damp limp wings, rising an inch or two off the ground. He falls back to the ground and cheeps loudly again.·

The egg rocks precariously. Scrabbling sounds come from inside its polished surface, the sounds of uncut nails fighting the hard imprisonment. Then, the egg's red is suddenly blemished by a long black mark of beginning freedom. An ebony claw peeks through, furiously scratching, scratching, scratching....

The crack broadens, and the first taste of fresh air rushes inside to meet the deprived hatchling. A haunting croon comes from the muzzle that is thrusted out of the egg. Bit by bit the hatchling emerges to greet the dark dwelling of his mother. Deep blue eyes blink away the glaze of just awoken life, and then shut abruptly as they are flooded with more light than they can hold at first glance.

Gleaming wetly, the richly-colored bronze hatchling pulls himself from the egg, shattering most of it as he whips his tail weakly. He stumbles, and draws himself upright on four unsteady paws. He lets out the haunting croon once more, his head turning uncertainly side to side. All he can think of is that of who he would soon call mother....

"I fear I must ask you, Osiris, a question that must not wait. Certain circumstances have arisen that draw me to the the realization that the Evils have-."

She pauses, as her eyes swept his form. If only...but, no. "There is no heir for the Evils. Bob may be my son, but his blood is not mine. Osiris, I wish for you, if you will, be the father of the heir of the Evils. You are more than suitable, both mentally and physically...and I actually enjoy your company."

The Queen appears anxious now. "I fear the Lights would take advantage of me if it were known before they hatched. If you do agree, allow this to be kept secret until they arrive. It is not shame, but safety."

*Shifts slightly hoping he has not become an pain to his Queen* "I have told all the tt's that are active and are in need of protection that they must choose 3 or 4 worthy and willing dragons to defend against light attack. I'm almost posstive they will do as told and there will be no problem there. On the other hand I have a slightly personal question to ask more of myself then of you my Queen." *Takes a deep breath then contiues* "It has come to my attention that I have not been given a place in the attacking ranks. So I will take this as a slight hint that you do not wish me to fight. Or have I misread my Queen's intentions? Either way, I have decided that I will stay at the Evil East to defend unless one of our own is needed to be replaced. If this does not please you I will listen and do as you say." *Dips raven crown in respect and awaits her answer*

"Firstly, I need someone to round up all of the hatchlings (under the age of four) and put them under care in the Dark Lair. B&C, I wish for you to help care and organized them. Although you may disagree, I am ordering you to stay clear of all fighting in this war. I hear you shall have a clutch soon, and for their safety and your own you are to stay put in the Dark Lair. A sutle hint, assistance may be wise in this task.

"Now, I have organized (from a list of names that replied to varies messages) two bands of dragons. The first is led by Oberon and includes: Bob, Soul Desire, Rouke, Blackest Soul, Quiet Death, Dark Tiger, Limitless Time, Carth, and Spakinth. The second is led by Osiris and includes: Ezmerelda, Drako, Temptress, Catastrafy, Arziel, Deadly Sin, Try Me, Deadly Silence, and BT. Oberon and Osiris, please attempt to round up your troops. The majority reside in the Dark Lair. I shall email (or AIM) you further information as well.

"Rage, see to it that all Evil territories each have three or four defenders. There are several extra residing in the Dark Lair that would be eager to defend if any tt needs their assistance."
She ponders for a moment. "The ones that come to mind are Modern Crusader and most of Famina's gang, but I am sure there are others.

"Anything else?"

He laughs. "But she couldn't keep up with me. Anyway... We shouldn't worry about her. With her in charge, the Royal Territory should be a doddle to capture, if we wait till Tib's off somewhere."

He grins happily. "Oh, and they've got a princess. Her name is Soleil and Aramil told me she's around four years old."

Isis, I believe that many neutrals shall not be authorized in this war, I notified them immediately, and none have spoken to me since. Rather inactive are they, and I do not believe them to be of any help, but I will cast an eye on the light tts, making sure no neutrals have entered or are convercing in or around them. If so, I shall notify you immediately, and after...if you wish I shall dispose of them. Black dragon nods before sitting on a rock.. I do believe Tib has quite an army, shall I go to each tt and tell them to form an army, or shall I form one in the tt for them? I have watched very closely the dragons and dragonesses in each tt, and know their power. I shall assemble them If you'd like, you may ask me my opinion if questionable, Isis. Nods once again beofre turning to face the shadows, brow furrowed at the unsilenced light that creeps o'er the mountain.

:The count you requested: twenty-two full grown dragons in The South TT and twenty-five hatchlings. But one dragoness by the name of Abracis is taking care of the hatchlings.
:In the North there are roughly seven adults and perhaps one hatchling. But my information may be false considering that the TT is for claim.
:In the West TT there are thirteen dragons and four hatchlings.
:In the East TT there are fourteen dragons and one hatchling.:


The dragon tilts his head. :And lastly, there are approximately six dragons in the royal TT and no hatchlings. Will that be all? Or do you have another errand for me?:

"Blood and Chocolate, go to Common Sense and tell her that she and her territory members will experience no harm from us is they, in whole, do not participate in the war by either fighting or sheltering other Lights.

"Osiris, go to the Neutrals and tell them that either they will assist the Evils or refuse all non-family contact with Lights. Inform them that if they are found harboring or assisting the Lights, they will not be spared from a home battlefield.

"Oberon and Ezmeralda, I would appreciate a rough estimate on the number of inhabitants in each of the Light territories."

"Rage, survey each Evil territory and find how many are willing to fight in either defence or offense.

"Bob, I want you to go to the Roayal Light territory and simply eavesdrop. If anyone objects to you being there, tell them that you are the son of Isis and therefore are allowed to be present in there. Of course, if they become violent in any way, I do wish for you to leave."

She surveys their faces, wondering if there were either objections or questions. But, she did not wait long. "After you complete your task, post the results (if any) in this lair. Tell nothing of what goes on in here, and only question me (concerning the war) in here. Once each of you finish, we can proceed to Phase 2, the fun part."

"Mother!" He finally breaks and his face cracks into a grin. "Tiberius is assembling his troops... for what that's worth! He has only three subcommanders under him, CS leading the North, Doh in the West and Silfia in the West. Both Mist and Aramil have offered to challenge for Ramoth, Tiberius has as yet authorized neither."

He bows his head to the Queen. "And now, mother, I will return to my duty."

Taking again to the air, his light body is carried swiftly by long wings.
