^The first hint of emotion follows^Amusement^Her cold features crack for a moment and an amused light breaks over the dragon creature^Then fades as she becomes serious once more, though it was clearly a mask, as her eyes laughed^
^It's a good choice for you Timeline^But there are too many elements for you to control them all^Which elements do you wish to control?^
^She watches him with strangely bright eyes^For now, he was truel her pupil^She was mistress of the elements^And so would train him^

He cocks his head in thought. The elements of the ancient world, Fire, Water, Air and Earth. A smile reflects in his own eyes. The elements that were said to be the form of every thing on earth, and the creators of life. A twinkle in his eyes reflect her thoughts, very ambitious for one of his size. I have no wish to control the elements of life, merely the basic components of a physical form, for my family and I's protection.

^The dragoness nods and speaks again, her face masking over into a cold and unknown expression once more^
^Perhaps little dragon, this I can do^But you will have to be very strong, to very well to recieve all four^Even then, they may be limited more then you would like^Advanced training does seem to be a very good idea for you^
^She was thinking aloud, perhaps because she wanted himt o know this^
^But first you must begin you training and prove yourself worthy of these elements^You will be trining for four tests^One of fire, one of water, one of air and one of earth^Those that you pass you will recieve^But first we must prepare you for this^
^A sly grin^
^I hope you are full little dragon^For now your training begins^For one week you will sit in meditaion^Unmoving, though unbroken^For patience and self control you will need to control these elements^For one week, you will be tempted with unknowns^Tempted to break meditation^If you do so, you will fail your training^
^She was serious^For one week, she was forbidding him to move^He could not scratch an itch^Stretch out a soar muscles^In this he woud learn patience and tolerance^She would pit his against fear, greed, hunger, thirst^Everything one need to survive^Against himself, his family^Literally everything^For one week^
^I am serious little dragon^So, make youself comfortable and make peace with youself, for now you begin^You may see disturbing things in your meditation^Vision quests even, if you are lucky^You mind will sometimes entertain itself^Sometimes you will be lost in blankness, nothingness^Insanity is a possibility^This is risky^So, little dragon, begin now or turn away^But whatever your choice, make it wisely^If you fail, you will not be allowed a second chance^Success is your only option^Good luck^
^With this, she is gone^Like a whisp of smoke^And he is left alone to make his desicion^Alone, unmoving, for one week^Good luck, little dragon^

He sits down, straight and tall, as was most comfortable to a breed that was used to living in the air. He closes his eyes with a gentle sigh. Truth be told, the one thing he did not fear was the powers of the mind. Slowly he slips into the trance, not even a shudder of fear.
(OOC:Am i correct to asume you are playing the junk in his mind or is that my job?)

[..::Breaking::..] -- Shattered, 19:44:17 01/23/03 Thu
[..::Breaking::..]
[ for so long, the dragon sits in silence ][ darkness ][ everything is gone ][ touch, taste, smell, sound and sight are gone ][ consiouness fading... ]
[ and then he came ][ a shimmering image of deep forest green, parted with running rivers of a bronze-brown color ][ dark in the dragons mind ][ he sits before what must be his eyes, for every part of this magnificent creature is visable ][ he is not a dragon ][ nor is he any creature for that matter ][ border of the creature are rough, if not non existant, and he doesn't seem to move, merely flicker out, then in again in another position, taking on the idea of movement ]
[ and now he, for it was a he, sat before the mental eyes of this small creature ][ four legs extended from a horselike body ][ and extending upward a slender human like torso, with two human arms ][ slender, lengthy fingers toy with a small charm at his side and nails of onyx extending at least an inch from his fingers ][ face is humalike in shape, but lips are non existant and only three small slits reside where the mouth should be ][ eyes are huge and pupiless, simply two pools of gold ][ Two deer like ears standing high and stil upon his head ][ a dark, shaggy mane traveling down his spine and a tail, both of golden hue ][ the strange creature stares, unlinkng and unmoving at the drakes mental image ][ and then it speaks, a splitting pain of mental power in the drakes mind ]
[ another? ][ i suppose you too are training for control of the earth ][ my domain ][ i thought i told spyryt to stop sending you to me ]
[ the creature muses silently for a moment, mind obviously elsewhere ][ argueing ][ a sigh ][ he had given in ][ eyeing the dragon doubtfully he speaks again, burning the words into his mind ]
[ fine ][ i am Shattered ][ true creature of the earth element ][ the true gaudian ][ this little dragon, as i have no name for you yet, is a vision quest ]
[ that trainer, spyryt, had convinced him not to leave the drake in unbreakable darkness ][ and he was a warm soul, much more enjoyable when he wasn't in a bad mood ][ as he speaks, the world around him changes from blankness and nothing to a rich forested landscape ][ dark and menecing before him was a blackened forest ][ the creature faces it, golden optics emotionless, but mind speach holds a drawl of pity ]
[ in order to become a child of the earth, as you obviously wish to be or spyryt would not have sent you to me, you must first accept this ][ the 'power' you seek is not truely a power ][ it is a cooperation between the 'powerholder' and the element ][ this cooperation is gained from the elements center][ remember this, as it will come in handy later ][ you must be patient, and understanding ][ most of all, patient ][ earth has been here for eternity ][ she has no hurry ]
[ using the strange blurred moven of flashing in and out, he raises a taloned hand ]
[ her 'being', if you will, resides in there ][ go to the center ][ along the way, hopeful you will gain an understanding of what you are about to recieve ][ is you wish to be hurling earth about, you must first gain her permission ]
[ a touch of sarcasm? ][ perhaps ]
[ i wish you luck little dragon ][ any injury you retain here will carry into your physical world ]
[ faces the dragon once more, without truely moving a muscle ][ so fast the eye did not see him move ]
[ do not ignore the little things ]
[ just a quickly as he appeared, he is gone, leaving the forest before him ]
[..::Shattered::..]
((hope that made some sense. and yes, I'll be doing most of it. course, he'll be left to his own thoughts for awhile sometimes. hopefully he'll think about something:p also, what is Timelines greatest fear?))

[In the vision he stares into the dark forest.]
[You wish me to go in...there? His vision form narrows his golden orbs to peer into the forbiding shadows.]
[The center of the...forest? He shakes his head, not needing an answer. It makes sense, I should speak with this..."Earth." It seems she deserves the respect of asking to use her so.]
[His lips turn cold and quiver slightly, nervous about what lay beyond...after all, Shattered had spoken of this being truth. And that he would treat it as. Whatever lay in this new found place, he would face it. There's no reson not to go.]
[He takes a deep breath, a part of him upset about recieving such pitty. This so-called Shattered would be surprised. So he was small, he was fast, he could easily speed away from most threats...most. Earth...if you can hear me great one, I shall be serving you soon.]
[He looks to Shattered. Perhaps I shall see again, wise one. Untill then. The tiny dragons wings buzz for a moment before carrying him to a very low hover and wisking him into the forest.]
(ooc:Hmm...that's a toughie. *grin.* It's a tie between losing his adoptive sis, Renegade (who's head is very likely the size of his entire body) and having to fight/kill someone he cares for. So...I'd guess...Having to fight Renegade to the death. (vewy lightish fo' a dark...but jus' da same...) If you need Ren's stats i can give ya what i know 'bout her looks and personality. And...uh...just curious...what are the brackets for? And you do know this is all in the vison that he's moving right?)

[Ooc: Renegades info would be helpful *smiles* The brackets really aren't for anything. I just like playing around with the temporary chars I make up in ordealing and training. Their post style of course. For my other chars. Lol, you don't need to use them. And yes I know. lol, duh he couldn't exactly fly into a forest in the hall, he's run into a wall *rhyming!!*]
)(Darkness)(
)(As the miniature dragon zips though the forest, it becomes harder and harder to find a path through the thickening trees. Like they are trying to stop him. Finally, a clearing passes into veiw. As his dragonfly liek wings carry him out into the open space, he find it immpossible to continue forward. In fact, he finds it impossible to leave the dark clearing at all. Sunlight barely peers through the ticket of leaves above, and a wall of leaves, branches and trunks blocking ay vertical motion. He was stuck)(
)(For a long time, the dragon is forced to remain in the silent clearing. Unbroken silence. That is until a crashing noise tears the silence in two. A low grumbling rumbles through the trees, finding its way thought the wall of trees to the dragons ears)(
)(Ho hum, finding little flying things they are. Little things? How could it be harmful to the trees I ask? But no, no no no they make me come all the way here. To see a little thing. Little things couldn't have stolen it. No no. But we can't have intruders. Nope, Eeareth would not be happy about that)(
)(The voice becomes louder, and the annoyance it clear in its muffled voice. Then quite suddenly, the trees lurch aside just as a strangely formed creature breaks into the clearing. As soon as he is in the clearing the trees glide smoothly back into place. A strange murmering buzzes in the dragons mind, in a language unknown to him. Then the craeture caught his attention)(
)(The earth gaurdian Shattered, looked normal compared to this tree creature. With skin of bark, his body was basically a tree, with two limbs protruding for arms, each tipped with four branches as fingers. Two three toed legs grew from the base of this creature, acting as legs. His head was topped with a few broken branches flailing towards the unseen sky, a series of little green leaves growing upon them. The creatures mumbling stops as he stares at the dragon. Optics of deep, deep gold peer at the creature, two perfect ovals deeper than the deepest pool. Thoughtful, they were, touched with wrinkles of kindness. Unlike the centaur like guardian, this creatures posses a mouth, with two lips of rippling bark. He stares blankling at the ittle dragon for a oment, then scowls and speaks, voice thrumming into the dragons very being)(
)(And who exactly are you? More specifically what? Yes ho hum.. What are you? And then, why are you in the forest. Intruding! Yes yes you are. Perhaps you are another theives. Not happy about the last one. He paid well, he did)(
)(Optics glare menecingly at the little dragon, just as strange to him as he was to the dragon. Waiting)(

(ooc:Renegade looks like a panther with dragon wings, neck and head. She's got green eyes...black velvet. That's all I really know 'bout her looks. I'd guess she's 196 or so years old...probably the size of a truck. Her personality is along the lines of...oh dear...cocky, smart, bored easily, travels a LOT...gets into trouble easy...Lol. I saw the first Lord of the Rings movie...other than that i'm totally in the dark.)
He lands in the clearing and looks up into the odd tree, not daring to return the scowl. The tiny wheels in his head turn visably through his eyes. Distrust clouds his mind, not fear, not curiousity...as would most dragons of his kind.
My name's Timeline, I'm a fairy dragon. And I'm no theif I asure you, I was told by Shattered that I could find Earth here. I hope to master it's powers and found I should very well ask for permission...I couldn't help but over hear you mumbling something about "little things couldn't have stolen it." Is there something amuck in this forest?
He cocks his head to show honest consern.
If there is, do you need help? I'd be glad to asist you in any way if you can just help me find my way.

)(the tree like creature starts slightly as the drake speaks, eyeing him, still suspisious)(
)(Shattered? Little dragon, as it seems you are, Shattered is but a ledgend. The god of all earthly creatures. But if you have seen him, hum ho...)(
)(The creature falls silent and ponders this new information, along with the request to help. Looking down at the creature once again he nods thoughtfully)(
)(Perhaps, yes yes perhaps. Come, follow me)(
)(The tree creature turns a mutters a few unaudible words to the trees, which immediately cleared. He motioned for the little drake to follow and then took of at a meaningful pace into the much friendlier forest)(

Timeline buzzes after the creature, confused in such a mannor her feared his head may explode. He say a legend? How weird was that? Then again...he was helping a talking tree with some odd tiny theif problem. Well this was a vision so...he suposed this was probably very natural.
Um...What is it these "little things" have stolen? Where are we going? He stops from asking other, more stupid questions, knowing he could enrage the tree-man with his curiousity if he wasn't careful.
(ooc:no prob)

)(the tree thing continues plowing rather meaningfully through the trees, though never touching one. For they moved quite quickly from his path. At the drakes question he slowly slightly, as if he could not think and walk at the same time. Grumbling to himself he speeds up again)(
)(We are going to see her. Hurry hurry little flyer, we have to reach a shelter before dark)(

Her? He sighs and shakes his head, realizing he would get no real answer from the tree. He desides to speed up as well, not knowing what was going on but not wishing to face whatever the tree feared.

)(keeper o'the trees)(
)(The treeman ignores the little drake, doing it quite well too. Soon, he parted once more, this time into a paradise like clearing of grass, flowers and a small river. Satisfied, he dips his roots in the water and sits down. If you could call it sitting. With a pleased sigh he speaks)(
)(We will rest here. Until the darkness passes. And while we wait, I will tell you of our problems, so as she will not confuse you. Much)(
)(He grinned slighty)(
)(Lately the little people have been up and about, stealing things. Like, leaves roots acorn. At first, they were only small things, things the forest would and could replace. But finally, they have gone to far. In the center of the forest resides a golden topaz gem, the center of all life. Within the gem are all the rule and desciptions f every earthy creature. If it is canged in the slightest way, disaster would result. If you truly mean to help, you will get it back for us. Then, she will help you. Permission, I believe you are seeking? Hooo hum. yes, she perhaps will grant it too you, but only if you manage to get back the Gem of Life. Ho hum... Yes yes, rest now. You'll need it)(
)(Without another word, the tree man was snoring quite softly, a gentle thruming that escaped his lips. And so he would remain until morning)(

Timeline snorts and curls up in a pile of leaves. Sounds like Kender to me. With a shake of his head he returns his attention to the tree. Oh come on, nobody can...oh well. He yawns and with a shrug tries desprately to grasp some sleep, although the odds of it were highly unlikely.
