Private/Closed Eli in Dragnos

[ThePlayfulFox]

The two cats looked at each other. "Our queen would probably like to see you then. She has been worried about the warnings she has been getting." the white she-cat said as she lowered the shield.
The orange tom nodded and said, "Also, there is a roc coming. It would be safer if you were sheltered while it passes by."
Shui looked at the orange cat. "A rock? Dangerous?" she asked, confused and slightly mocking.
"No," he said as he flicked his tail in annoyance, "A roc is coming. R-o-c roc. As in a large bird that eats anything smaller than it. Also, how did you get those wyverns not to eat you? They are even more dangerous."
The white she-cat sighed and said, "These are not wyverns. Wyverns have one pair of legs, these wyvern-like creatures have two. Must I explain more, because I must go and tell her majesty." She took off and flew slowly, waiting for more questions from her companion. The orange tom said nothing and just looked at the newcomers.

Tonalite sighed with relief when he found Steela and Silver. "Everything is ready to go. You can now den anywhere in Undi. Just don't use any metal dragon powers since you are listed under earth. Now, do you need any help with anything?"

 

[The Dark Fairy]

Eli thought for a moment "If we must, but we are in a big hurry right now, time is slipping tough or grasp like sand" he looked to the sky, wondering how big of a threat this bird could be

Silver nodded "Okay"

 

[ThePlayfulFox]

The orange tom motioned for the newcomers to follow. He glanced back at Eli. "I can show a few things that are on the way there. Like the stuff that is in the most direct route to the castle. You know?" he said, slightly irritable. "And about the rok, I know the queen will get it taken care of soon. As long as it isn't Stonefeather."

Steela looked at Tonalite. "How did you get done so fast?" she asked. She thought that it would take days, maybe weeks to finnish. But the grey dragon proved her wrong.
Tonalite looked back and forth. "Just a speedy prosess, that's all." he said as flew off. Two guards walked past the two metal dragons and asked, "Have you seen a grey Earth Dragon? We have reason to beleive that he is working against the throne of Ragenrok."

 

[RenzFlintrock]

Frostbite looked at these creatures suspiciously as he followed Flarea. He was doing overall better now that he was off the ship, but these Linx-like creatures were still curious to him. He padded along, unsure of what was going on. It seemed that was his usual state these days...

 

[The Dark Fairy]

Eli followed “the quicker the better, I have no clue when it will be to late” he looked over at the hottest place on earth worriedly

Silver nodded “Anywhere?” He looked at the guards “sorry, no I have not”

 

[ThePlayfulFox]

"Ok, we are not taking the most direct route like I said we would. Due to your size compared to us, our streets are much to narrow for you, except for one. Come on, there is something of interest there on the way. The Doombringer's abandoned home. From before she went rouge," the orange tom said. "It will be some time before the roc loses interest."
"Did you say roc?" a tortoiseshell she-cat with green eyes asked, a wicked smile on her face.
The orange tom sighed. "Yes," he answered, "Don't go after it, Linera."
She let out a hearty laugh. "I won't," she reassured, "alone." Her smile widened as she thought about tearing the roc to shreds. "Why didn't you tell me about the birdy sooner, Inferno?" she asked as she followed the group.
He flicked his ear in irritation and sighed. "The fact you want to kill stuff just for fun," he said matter-of-factly.
"I only do it for the empire," she replied, offended. "Now that the Bloodfangs are work for the Moonpaws. Now I'm going to get some Bloodfangs and get some action in. I've been bored just stalking in Lunarstone all day. You must understand this is good for my mental health." Linera flew off, going to get her chief and lead the Bloodfangs into battle.
"Word of advice, don't get a Bloodfang angry. It might be the last thing you ever do. Also, don't meet up with them after they have fought something. They can get crazy." Inferno said as he led them down the street.

The guards looked at Silver and said, "If we find out you do know something, then you will be in the same amount of trouble as he is. Now, I will ask you one more time. Have you seen a grey Earth Dragon? He goes by the name of Tonalite."

 

[The Dark Fairy]

Eli shook his head "Ok, great" he lit his fist up with his energy, entertaining a few ideas before putting it out "How long will it take to get there? I can not stress enough we need to be fast"

Silver had honestly not known Tonalite was the one until they had said that "Oh, her, sorry I know the collective knowledge that she is brown, a earth dragon, and her name is Tonalite, nothing more"

 

[ThePlayfulFox]

"We will be there soon. Geez, you remind me of the old felines from legend. So impatient," Inferno huffed in annoyance. His ears and tail flicked, showing his mood.
Shui hovered next to Eli. "I don't think he should judge. I mean, just listen to him," she said.
From overhead, a flock of cats could be sighted. "TONIGHT WE FEAST, MY TRIBE!" a large dark brown tabby shouted. Mews of agreement filled the sky above Lunarstone. Inferno pinned his ears to his head and hissed at the noise. Shui placed her hands to her ears and Flarea and Yuro placed their talons behind their horns.

"His," one of the guards said before turning away. They started whispering to themselves about the two but didn't make any move to arrest them. One dragon watched with interest but didn't confront the two, instead, she flew off. Steela looked at Silver. "That could bite us in the rear," she whispered to him.

 

[RenzFlintrock]

Frostbite was annoyed by the cacophony of mews and hisses, and put his front on the ground to cover his ears with his forelegs, while keeping his back legs on the ground. He growled, and considered flying up to the pests, but decided against it since he didn’t want to make unnecessary enemies. For once he was thinking slightly more clearly. His tail still twitched angrily.

 

[The Dark Fairy]

Eli looked up and covered his ears "I'm just on edge with what's at stake here, and we are in a mad race against a lunatic that won't stop for a bird

Silver shrugged "think of it like this, we gave away nothing that could pinpoint their location, and they can't prove if we do know more"

 

[ThePlayfulFox]

"Sorry! Can't hear you over the screeching Bloodfangs! Speaking of which, can you all please shut your muzzles!" Inferno shouted, to be heard over the cats from above. The Bloodfangs grumbled a little then were silent. They loved to shout their war cries. That's what they did before they joined the Moonpaw Empire. Inferno shook his pelt then pointed ahead of him. "There is the palace of Lunarstone. I think you are happy now. Anyway, the queen will either be by the entrance, in the throne room, or on the balcony." The orange cat turned away from the group.

Steela nodded. "A lot of dragons are weird here. Like so much whispering and stuff. I seriously think this town is hiding something," she said as she sat down, watching the other dragons. They all seemed to be acting normal now, but before they were whispering. Probably about Tonalite.

 

[The Dark Fairy]

Eli walked up to the castle and called into the portal "Hello? I'm looking for the queen!" he tapped his ear "Ready a pixie size temperature flux reagulater"

Silver nodded "I know what you mean" he looked around "You ant to look for place to settle?"

 

[ThePlayfulFox]

A grey she-cat padded up to Eli and pawed at his leg, trying to grab his attention due to her being much smaller than he was. She looked up at Eli, her amber eyes gentle, yet firm. "I am her. You may call me Queen Nova, leader of the new Skycat Empire, queen of the Moonpaw Tribe, and watcher of the Warning Stone. Follow me, I want to show you something important. No, it will not take long. Yes, you do need to see this to understand. I will also be giving you a guide and extra warnings. So no running off," she said as she walked up a white spiraling staircase. Queen Nova didn't check to see if her guest were following her, for she trusted them to come.

Steela nodded. She felt tired from all of the walking and the whole untrustworthy village thing. She walked towards the dens of Undi. She looked for one that was uninhabited.

 

[The Dark Fairy]

Eli followed the queen up the stairs "How much do you know?"

Silver located a den large enough for both of them to fit comfortably, and then some "What about this one right here?"

 

[ThePlayfulFox]

"Not much," the queen answered, "All I know is that three warnings came so close to each other and that the latest one gave me a picture of the ocean. I sent a cat to check it out, but she won't be returning. Ever. She is gone now. Back on topic, that is all I know. Further understanding would help me and my cats find something to stop it." She led them past a room with a stone throne with a pillow on it, making the cat on the seat comfortable. She didn't glance at anything in the room and kept going into a different hallway. She made a left turn, passing a group of Skycats planning for an attack on a 'rebelling' tribe. She paid no mind to this room as well. Another room they passed had groups of Skycats enchanting objects to make the wearer more powerful in some aspect. It wasn't very noticeable, but the queen had a tail ring. She made it to the end of the hall, reaching the balcony. She placed one paw on the huge crystal and closed her eyes. "This is the warning stone. No, I cannot give any to you. It picks up on any dangerous magical energy. Magic is the unexplainable. Need I explain further?" she said.

Steela nodded. "This is perfect! To perfect. Do any dragons live in there already?" The metal dragon looked around her, for any signs that the true owner of the den would come back. If there was an owner.

 

[The Dark Fairy]

Eli walked up to the crystal and studied it "Haven't seen one of these in centuries" he muttered. he shook his head "Anyway, the warnings you got were probably Muel placing the destruction rods, witch is very bad" he walked to the railing and pointed to the hottest lace on earth "If I'm not wrong, that's his next target"

Silver looked around "I think so.."

 

[ThePlayfulFox]

"Be warned," The queen said, "the Deathborn and her followers are there at the moment. She is dangerous. You might have heard a different name for her float around, Doombringer, but that is not the term that the Moonpaws made for her kind. She wants to see the empire fall, something that I cannot allow. I understand that you are busy, but if you see her, please take care of her. Capture, the punishment must be carried out by trail. Also, she has three friends, one of them is stuck in a dream prison that was made for the Deathborn instead. Now, I will give you some escorts, that will make everything fly soother for you."

Steela nodded. "Thought so," she continued to look for an unoccupied den.

 

[The Dark Fairy]

Eli looked off into the hole "I'll take that into account, I must be off as soon as I have my escort then" he looked over at hs ship "A small stop at my ship, then to the hottest place on earth"

Silver looked around and found a den just a bit smaller than the last "I think I found an empty one!"

 

[RenzFlintrock]

Frostbite sat down on his haunches and puzzled as the queen talked. So... there was a kingdom of talking lynxes of various sorts, and there was also a group of lynxes who wanted to overthrow the kingdom? This sounded slightly farmiliar, but he couldn’t quite place why. At this point he has just been blindly following Flarea and trying to understand to the best of his ability.

 

[ThePlayfulFox]

The grey queen nodded and called out to a mostly white she-cat with a silver tabby back, tail and face. The new cat flapped over to the queen and bowed. "Your majesty," she said, now that she was closer, it was clear that her white paws were ink-stained. "You would never believe what I just read!" She turned and saw Eli, a huge grin now on her face. "OH MY GLISTENING STARS!" she shouted with excitement, "The reports can wait! What is this thing? How does it stand upright? What does it eat? Does it mate for life, or chooses a different one each season? I have so many questions!" She flew over to Eli and tried to paw his face as she said this, her one blue one green eye glistening with excitement. She glanced over at the dragons her eyes widening again before she was cut off.
"Stella!" the queen shouted firmly. "Get Inferno. He already knows them better than any of the other cats." Stella looked at Queen Nova, bowed in midair, and flew off, grumbling on the way out. "Sorry about her, she is eager to learn new things. More than most other Moonpaw students," Queen Nova apologized, her voice much gentler.

Steela looked at the cave. "It might do then," she said as she entered to get a better look.

 

[The Dark Fairy]

Eli turned around and started to head out "Have the team meet me at my ship" he walked through town to his ship and pressed a hand to his ear "Prepare document H01-99, just in case" he arrived at his ship and leaned on it, waiting for the team

 

[ThePlayfulFox]

Stella found Inferno and one other cat. The knowledge-hungry she-cat led the two to the queen. "Will this do, your majesty?" Stella asked.
Queen Nova looked at Inferno and a brown Fireclaw tom that accompanied him. "Yes, very so. Well done, Stella. You may now return to your duties."
Stella flicked her tail and turned her head slightly away. "About that your majesty," Stella said, in what was probably her most serious tone, "May I join the escort party? I wish to expand my research. Please?"
Queen Nova gave Stella a knowing look. "If I do not say yes, you would sneak out anyway." Stella looked at her paws, hot with shame. Queen Nova nodded and said, "You may go, and I will even give you something before you go. The two will head to the ship and alert our new friend that one more is coming and that she is being held up." Inferno gave a low growl under his breath but said nothing as he flew off with the other brown Fireclaw. Flarea, Shui, and Yuro flew back to the ship.

Queen Nova looked at Stella and motioned for her to follow. The two walked towards the Enchanting Room. "You know when a Moonpaw becomes an adult they get one enchanted item?" The queen asked.
Stella's eyes lit up at the question. "Yes! Of course!" she answered, "It is an ancient tradition! I mean we have been doing it since the days of magic. Of course, those days are long gone now due to us getting a bit over our heads-"
Queen Nova stopped Stella's ramble with a glare. "Normally we have a big ceramony, but you are about to leave. And your ceramorny was sceduled for tomarrow. I beleive you have forgoten," Stella looked down at her ink-stained paws. "I will take that as a yes. Now choose something quickly." Stella broswed through the enchanted items and picked a gold collar out. "That will do then, do not lose it for you will not get a new one." Stella nodded as it was placed around her neck. "Now go. I beleive he is waiting for you." Stella nodded one last time and flew off, one cat tossed her a bag full of paper, ink, and some books. Stella nodded to her classmate and flew to Eli's ship.

Inferno landed outside of the ship. "One more is coming. She is being held up by Queen Nova," he alerted.

 

[The Dark Fairy]

Eli nodded "We leave the instant they arrive" Lily had been re-exploring the ship this whole time and now emerged "The old ship hasn't changed that much" Eli nodded "I like to keep it the same, to remember"

 

[RenzFlintrock]

Frostbite followed the others back to Eli’s ship. He didn’t want to go back in, but that seemed like it was what he would have to do.

Meanwhile, unnoticed, a small kitten had been sniffing curiously at the ship. He was very curious, as most his age were, and he snuck inside to investigate as soon as he had a chance.

 

[ThePlayfulFox]

Flarea, Shui, and Yuro arrived. "Great, we were beaten by a cat with wings and the slow dragon," Shui said as Flarea landed. Yuro thought that he saw a small kitten, but guessed it was his imagination. The brown Fireclaw flapped above them, showing the last member of the team where the group was. Stella landed, bag between her paws. "I am here," she huffed.
Inferno glared at Stella. "What even is in that thing?" he asked, "Books?"
Stella nodded, "Ink and some paper as well!" She slipped into the bag properly, one wing through the single strap, the other fastening the bag on.
Inferno growled, "What are you even going to do with that stuff?"
Stella sat up proudly. "Why, write my findings of course! The book is for cross-referencing." she snorted with laughter at the last sentence.

 

[The Dark Fairy]

The computer instantly noticed the kitten and spoke into Elis ear "Sir, there's a small intruder" Eli sighed and got up "Just a second" he walked in the ship and picked up the young cat by the scruff and placed him outside, closing the door behind him "Now, we leave" the gloves and boots flied from his belt onto his hands and feet. Lily nodded

 

[RenzFlintrock]

Frostbite looked nervous.

“Um... if we are going to a really hot place, is it okay if I-?”

He was conflicted, since he felt it was his duty to go, but he knew he would not fare well with that much heat.

* * * * *
The kitten tried to dodge away, but was not quick enough. He was carried out by the scruff of the neck, scratching and hissing. He was a feisty one, for sure. The kitten fell to the ground when Eli threw him, and he hissed defiantly. He paused for a moment to lick his sleek but slightly grungy silvery white fur.

 

[ThePlayfulFox]

Flarea looked at Frostbite in concern. "If you what?" she asked as her tail swished in the grass. Shui gave Frostbite a questioning look and Yuro stood behind Flarea, a bit more confidently than before, however, it was still a very insecure stance.

Stella was about to argue with Inferno more, but then she saw the tabby kitten. She padded over to it, crouched down, and asked, "Where are your parents? Shouldn't you stick with them? And what tribe are you from?"

 

[RenzFlintrock]

Frostbite crossed his front feet nervously before responding.

“Well... heat... ice... I was going to ask if I could stay here... but I don’t know if that’s a good idea either.”

The ice dragon looked worried.

***************

The little kitten stopped grooming himself and looked at the cat in front of him. At the first question asked, the kitten began to tear up, and didn’t respond.

 

[The Dark Fairy]

Eli looked at Frostbite "Don't worry, I have a plan for that" looking over at the cats, seeing the kitten and sighing in frustration "Look, we need to go, if your going to mess with that kitten, just bring him with"

 

[ThePlayfulFox]

Stella looked at the kitten. "Hey little guy," she mewed, "do you want to come with us? If you do not, I am sure he will allow me to take a quick detour to Lunarstone and drop you off there. I mean, we cannot leave you here. Not with all the foxes, badgers, rocs, eagles, and other predators that would eat a kit like you in an instant."
Inferno glared at Stella, knowing what she was trying to pull off. "Don't try, Moonpaw. All your talk of 'helping other, more unfortunate cats' and 'sharing greatness' is all fine and good. But you have no knowledge of the other tribes. I have a feeling that it is out here for a reason, and your tampering will ruin this cats life!" Inferno growled. He did not want to deal with a kitten, for they were a lot of work. He also didn't know who's kit this was, so he did not want to look like a thief.
Stella hissed back, "I cannot leave him here. That is not my way. I would be a disgrace to my old friend if I did. She did the same for me, so I think that I should repay by helping this kit, even if it is a small thing that I do."

 

[RenzFlintrock]

The kitten moved closer to Stella and tried to nuzzle up to her. She seemed very kind, the first person who had been kind to him for a very long time. He still sniffled, but looked a bit happier. “M-mi... Swiftbrush...”

 

[The Dark Fairy]

Eli checked his watch and looked out over the sea, and saw Muel's ship on the horizon. He looked back at the group, pulling out the cage "Decide in five seconds, because that's when we leave"

Silver walked in to the den "So, do we ask, or just take it?"

 

[ThePlayfulFox]

"Swiftbrush, you chose. Stay or leave?" Stella mewed gently to the kit, placing her tail on the kitten's back as she accepted his nuzzle. Inferno angerly sighed and glared at the two, ready for take-off. She looked down at the kit, awaiting his answer, her blue and green eyes sparkling as she remembered being in this position. "Se la ve," she mouthed. Even if she said them out loud, she would be the only one who understood what those words even meant. Luckily for her, Inferno, Shui, Flarea, and Yuro didn't notice her muzzle movements while she mouthed what had became her motto after studying these words for hours.

 

[RenzFlintrock]

Swiftbrush didn’t know what they were talking about, at all. But this cat was being very nice to him, and she had also mentioned a lot of dangerous creatures out here. So he didn’t actually say anything, but stood up and made signals implying that he would follow her.

Frostbite looked confused when Muel’s ship was sighted. He looked to Eli’s ship, then back to the one in the sky, then looked more nervous, if that was possible.

“There are more of those things?!”

 

[The Dark Fairy]

Eli lifted off the ground "Yes there are, now let's get going before he beats us there" Lily looked up at Eli "Umm..." Eli nodded "Right" He picked her up after his gloves flew to his back and set themselves up there

 

[ThePlayfulFox]

The shield that protected Lunarstone from Eli's ship appeared again, but this time Queen Nova wasn't accepting visitors. Some cats powered the stones that were enchanted to make a protective shield around the city, just in case of an aerial threat. Stella saw this and knew there was no turning back now, so she gave one huge blast with her wings and took off, looking down to see if Swiftbrush would follow. Flarea, Shui, Yuro, and Inferno also took off.

A grey tom with green eyes was hunting. Not for only himself, but for his friends as well. The tom declined any help from his marry group and went alone, much to Star's disappointment. Well, it was more of consern for his well being than her careing for him in the way he wanted her to. She was still getting over her last mate, Night, who was put to death due to the fact he was a Doombringer, or as Star calls it a Deathborn. He hissed at the nerve of some cats, espacely Queen Nova.

 

[RenzFlintrock]

It took a few seconds, but Swiftbrush was able to take off and follow Stella. He still had no idea what was going on, and he was curious as to why the shields activated. He flapped violently, trying to catch up with Stella.

“Where are mwee gowing?”

***************

Frostbite took off as well, following Flarea. He was still very nervous. He flew more steadily than usual (for him), however, and he felt slightly comforted, although he wasn’t sure why. His white wings flapped, and he unconsciously compared his flight to those of the other dragons, the winged lynxes and Eli’s strange propulsion. And of course, his hunting instinct unconsciously sized up the winged lynxes. Not that he was feeling hostile towards them any more; it was just how he worked.

 

[ThePlayfulFox]

Stella glanced back at Swiftbrush and answered, "To the Fireclaw home, Volrinaia. Or as I like to call it Korvalavitch." Her eyes sparkled at the ancient name of the Fireclaw's homeland. She moved herself sightly back to help out Swiftbrush. "I have not said my name yet, have I?" she mewed in realization, "It is Stella. My name is Stella, Swiftbrush."

 

[The Dark Fairy]

Eli blasted off as fast as the rest could go and looked down at Lily “Be ready to do you little trick if we need to” He looked back at the group for a second before focussing back on the hole

Mike practically laughed at the shield and pressed a few buttons, stoping at the city preparing a quick assault, just for fun
