(At the crack of dawn, the adventurers leave their home town, Zetheran, and set out for Luminesca. They venture into the deep forest of Kina, massive in area and lurking with danger.) Kel stared back into the city, lit up and beautiful at nightfall. "Are we ready?" her voice was flat, devoid of emotion. The trees that usually looked lush and healthy green had a contradictive look at night; the trees clung with vines and leaves fluttered to the ground. An uneasy silence hung in the air as the members of the party advanced.

Sorel sniffed the air and turned to look at his party members. He didn't know them well, and from the looks of it, this journey was going to be a long one...better get friendly soon... "So, what's up?" He said to nobody in particular as they proceeded into the leafy-floored forest.

Night was calm and silent, enlighten with beautiful crimson lights that were spreading from Zetheran devouring darkness that laid around. This was first time Aardeth was to leave on a journey so far away, so far he ventured nowhere but regions around and those were two day trips or so, but now he was to find real adventure. "Are we ready?" he heard Kel asked whole group and Aardeth was first to reply "More than we shall ever be." he spoke, his voice almost like trembling but it was just the coolness of the air that made him shiver. Aardeth cast a look over his equipment to check if he has everything needed. His katana was safely tied around his belt and his staff safely in his hands, that was all he was going to need on this journey. "So, what's up?" Aardeth heard Sorel speak to nobody while looking at the forest they were heading to. Coming from behind Aardeth gave him a slight punch over the shoulder and replied "Come on don't be so stiffed up. This journey is to be fun only as much as we allow it." Proceeding on Aardeth passed by to catch up the rest of the group that was slightly ahead. After all he had all characteristics of a leader and it wasn't up to leader to stay on the rear.

(Shouldn't this start off in it's own thread??) Marinus stood staring in to the sunrise. It was the first in quite a while that he had seen, he was always a person not fussed on getting up early. He was thinking heavily, about the friends and family he would leave behind, and the dangers that lay ahead. A voice broke Marinus’ concentration. He turned to see who it was, but realised the group was further ahead. Marinus ran up to them and tagged along near the back. He still wasn’t fully awake and didn’t feel like talking much at the time. “So, what’s up?” The man next to Marinus tried to start a conversation, but all Marinus could do was let out a yawn. Luckily someone else joined in to the conversation and Marinus was able to go back to his lazy walk. His sword, clinking against his shielded right arm was the only thing keeping him entertained. After a couple of minutes of walking, Marinus already felt more alert and ready to talk. “So, how long do you think it will take to get to Luminesca?” Marinus looked up to see if anyone was going to answer. After a moments pause, he brushed his long hair to the side and tweaked the chain that was hanging off his neck. There was a symbol of courage hanging off the chain that shined bright when ever there was darkness.

Kazu, the jumpy, always ready to go type grabbed Kel's shirt sleeve. "Are we there yet??" Kazu whined. Kazu was the youngest and most annoying of the group, but also liked to provide the comic relief through all the seriosness. The greenery all looked the same to the young flick reaper, and he was getting very impatient.

Kel glanced at Kazu with a straight face, but said nothing. They cntinued into the forest path.

Kazu sighed. "Fine, Ignore me." As the kid of the group, he liked to annoy people. They continued to walk, seeming to wait for their destination to come to them. A vile scent filled the air, and the atmosphere seemed to change mood. Kazu's crimson eyes became narrow. "Something or someone's coming," he growled through bared fangs. "And the smell of blood is smeared all over it." He saw that Kel already had her weapons out.

I seem to be building an army of dragons for no apparent reason...
Why don't you help me raise an army of dragons?

(Just so you guys know without checking her profile, Kel is an emotionless cyborg. She uses bells attached to ribbons that lace her arms for necromancy.)


It may take as long as we live, Kel's monotone voice replied in Marinus's head.

The group stopped suddenly when they heard a slight growl. The only noise to be heard was the slight tinkling of Kel's bells.

The growl was soft at first, so soft it was inaudible even in the silence of the night, but its volume grew, until the growl had transformed into a monstrous roar.

At that moment, The party was enshrouded in clouds of flame.

''Dragon!'' Sorel cried with surprise.

Sorel took in as much of the beast as he could before it blew out another column of flame. Its gleaming green skin shone with brilliance under the sunlight as it threw back its emerald head and howled.

But that's not right, he thought, dragons only live in dry places- where fire is the natural element...

Sorel glanced at the others and was unsure if he should protect them. Unfortunately, the dragon gave him no second to think; Sorel was knocked back by fire that froze him to the bone.

''C-cold...?'' he stuttered with astonisment.

And suddenly he knew of the great danger they were in.

''Stay away from the dragon's tail!'' he tried to yell, just as the enormous beast swept its tail along the forest ground.

Kazu leaped up just as the rest of the party did. The tail that blended in with the green grass swept across the forest floor. Everyone glanced at Kel, suspecting her to give orders like she always did. When none came, Kazu jumped the tail of the dragon and sped towards it.
"Guys, it's an opposite blood! It can cast both ice and fire. So use WATER!"
With that, he swung his scythe and a surge of water gushed towards the dragon's eyes.

Marinus’ pendant began to glow, as the group continued to march forward. At first, he did not take notice of it, but as it began to glow more bright, it was certain that something was coming.

The roar of the dragon startled Marinus. He had been in many fights, but he was never as good against flying monsters. As the flames grew close to the group, he could felt a chill go down his armoured right arm.

“What?” whispered Marinus

As the dragon came closer again, an order was yelled out.

''Stay away from the dragon's tail!''

As the order was yelled out the dragon’s tail came spinning against the ground. Marinus leapt into the air as the tail came swooping under him, it felt as if time had slowed down. By the time Marinus hit the ground, the dragon was ready for it’s second attack.

"Guys, it's an opposite blood! It can cast both ice and fire. So use WATER!"

When Marinus heard this, he remembered hearing about these type of dragons. He rushed towards the dragon and swung his body around. In one swift move his sword left his hand and spun rapidly towards the dragon’s neck. The sword sliced at the scales of the dragon, then fell back down towards Marinus. He caught the sword as he finished his spinning attack. To Marinus’ surprise, his attack had done little damage, almost no damage to what he expected.

“Damn, that thing is strong. We’ll need to find a way to take it out quick!”

(Er...exotic angel, I don't know if you're supposed to post that here...)
Kazu watched the dragon attack his team mates. What a pain it was. H e realized that it had the tough green hide, and that if they were to going to kill it fast, they would need to skin it first.
"Damn," he muttered under his breath. He charged again, yelled an elemental spell, and swung his scythe again. As he hit the dragon, his scythe turned a slight azure color and sent another wave of water at it.
Suddenly the dragon roared in fury. It opened its mouth and charged a huge ball of ice energy.
'Hit it NOW!!!' Kazu yelled at the top oh his lungs. 'IN THE MOUTH!'
(Sorry, guys. I have to type quotation marks with ' becase my shift button is gay.)

From the wood west of the path, three pinpricks of light glowed, and began to grow steadily. They seemed to be moving closer. From the shadow then, stepped a form, slight but straight and erect. From his mouth and eyes blazed light, as if he held suns concealed behind his face. The light shined, and his song poured forth. He sang the doom of men and worlds, and this beast would not resist him. His sorcerous light smashed into the fell beast, setting the road aglow with prismatic light.
