Celestia scooped up Oak like a kitten after putting an unconsious Skye in her wing, She beconed Midnight who was the only one still able to walk. Celestia got what happened from her daughter, Heisei was praying to Inari against Lightning, and as they walked home Celestia knew she'd have to get into contact with Whitefire and Coal. Celestia already knew that most sentiant creatures had been dragged into the fight too. As far as she knew they'd stop when the dragons did. She also had to track Xevius down and call her family. Lightning was almost as bad as a rouge. Malvada would not be attacked, Celestia's family had adopted her. She almost giggled at how her sister and cousin would coo over Xevius like a chick. But Lightning had to be dealt with... Soon...
Xevius walked over to where the strange stone he had found was. It was curious, and the warmth it gave off seemed to signify power. He did a bit of math in his head, and the results came up with the high chance that it was a left over bit of the end of a world device some ancient civilization had made, and a powerful one at that. Of course, they would have to be week, similar to humans, to need tools, which led to machines. Xevius new that it wasn't of human make, because he had found it here, and there were no human fossils here; human fossils were everywhere else, due to their ancient huge numbers and obsession with the after life. He jumped back, terrified. If it was from a race more powerful and more intelligent thatn humans had been, then there were two possibilities: It was a weapon, or else it was an energy source. Xevius doubted the second.
((>.> woah did I ever miss a lot in this rp.))
Malvada had missed all the action being that, one: she had fallen asleep near the mouth of the cave, and two: she was still all bummed up on her one leg that she wasn't able to use, she had woken up just in time to be able to catch sight of Lightning flying over head and it looked like he was wounded as well, it drew her curiosity, but even more so when she saw Celestia coming back with two passed out chicks being carried back in her wings and midnight trailing along behind her.
Celestia told Malvada what had happened after putting Oak in the nest, then Skye woke and started limping to Malvada and touched her leg. With a soft glow the bone healed and the splint fell to the ground. The chick yawned and walked to bed without a word. "See what I mean? I'm going to have to get my relatives and the three life dragons I know. My relatives won't let any fighting break out so I'm getting them first. Lightning is no longer a shadow dragon he's a menace, if he gets a hold of these chicks the world is doomed..." Celestia shot off leaving Malvada and Heisei to keep an eye on the chicks. Heisei started placing illusions around the den making it look like smooth earth...
Malvada could hardly believe it, she wasn't all to sure of Celestias story at first, but when Skye came and healed her leg, it was no doubt proof in her eyes, they really were the prophesied dragons! It didn't suprise her though when she was told about Lightnings invasion, it really just angered her, she didn't think he was all tha bad at first, but now the line has been crossed in her point of view, the life dragons seemed like family to her now, as odd as it was at first, and Lightning trying to hurt the chicks just about blew her over. She stood up from her spot and walked into the cave, laying down again infront of the nest where the chicks were laying, keeping her gaze facing out of enterance.
Celestia's relatives needed no convincing, her brother who'd chosen the nomadic lifestyle was visiting and came along. Celestia's brother had most she dragons swooning around him... Her brother's good looks often intimidated other males too. Celestia's cousin upon arrival started trying to get the chicks to pounce on her tail tip like a big cat would. Celestia's aunt stared at the three chicks then looked to Malvada approvingly "Garnering allies and bettering yourself smart move." Celestia's family looked after one another, in aultrisim everyone could benifit from having the bonds Lightning considered weakness. Celestia's male relatives didn't fit in the den but rain wouldn't hurt them. In fact Celestia's uncle had dry scale meaning he could use some rain. Celestia went for Whitefire, Coal, and Xevius, Celestia's kin could be counted on in a sticky situation that was clear, but to those outside the circle they were just a large intimidating group...
Malvada lifted her head respectfully as Celestias aunt spoke to her, as few words as it was, but the expression she was carrying was enough to make Malvada feel really good inside, to know that she had a family, or felt like she had a family type group that liked her, well more of approved of her presence at that point than liking her, but it did not really matter anyways, it was as close as she has ever gotten to anyone her entire life. Malvada stood up and made sure someone else was in the den to watch the nest of chicks before she walked out, she carried her head low in a rather submissive way as she walked past all the large males out into the rain, the one thing she didn't want was for one of them to turn on her. She just wanted some fresh air.
Neck was glum. He had forgotten what time it was, and that Lightning dragon had left, leaving Neck the only intelligent creature in this cave, and probably the only intelligent aquatic creature for miles around. He decided that he would find a way out of this cave, even if it killed him, which it very well might. Oh well, he had lived a long life anyway. 66432893 years, to be exact. He pulled himself out of the water and went the direction Lightning had gone when he had left, and was pleasently surprised to find two things: One, this cave was surprisingly close to the surface, and two, the it was raining, really hard too, and that pools were forming everywhere. Neck began to pull himself in a random direction, occasionally stopping in the larger pools. He hoped being beached wouldn't kill him before he found a permanent body of water.
Celestia's relative had inherited their territory from Celestia's grandparents. The relatives and Celestia decided that for the time being the boundaries were non exsistant. This was turning into a village like in the far north. Her mother aunt and uncle knew the turf best, during a drought they knew where there was water, famine they knew where the food had went. Celestia's lair had tree roots over it holding the ground together making this her most stable lair, her uncle and brother were working a new lair to accomidate them nearby. Celestia her mother, Heisei, and aunt were making a pond and a place for the chicks to splash around and practice fishing in. There was general construction going on and with the number of adult dragons around Lightning would have to be a moron to try anything. Celestia's sister and cousin had chicks of their own at the lair too they were playing with Skye and the kits at the moment just being children. The rain made the ground outside the lair soften making it easier to dig. Celestia's sister was hunting and her cousin was keeping a close eye on the chicks chattiing with Malvada remarking "My male cousin is a pushover just like uncle, big softies nothing to be scared of unless you threten family then they can get nasty..."
Whitefire landed as the down pour got harder, Coal right behind her. Coal refused to leave Whitefire's side unless he was hunting. She was heavy with his chicks. She heard commotion and smeeled several life and shadow dragons. "A fight?" she asked coal.
"No, there is no smell of bllod. But I will go first just to be sure." he answered, shelding whitefire's body with his own.
Whitefire rolled her eyes and headed forward. She had heard a fimiliar voice, Celestia's to be exact. She came upon she clearing. Cunstruction was going on everywhere, and some chicks were playing in a pond.
Midnight turned to see two dragons she had never seen before. One was black with red wing membranes, the other white with light blue membranes. She dashed towards her mother and ducked betwwen her front legs. "Mom, there is some strange dragons over there." she told celestia, pointing.
Oak regained conciousness, not slowly, but with a flash, being fully restored to metal capacity the moment he awoke. That was how he had awoken his entire life, so he didn't know how strange it was. He found himself near the back of the den, which contained a few other dragons. A quick look outside revealed it to be raining heavley. Oak decided he would go outside, even though he didn't really like the rain, for one reason and one reason alone: He was starving. He felt like he had gone without food for longer than he had even been alive. He left the den, and slipped between the larger dragons, and then dashed off between the trees to try and find some sort of rodent. Where was the harm in that? It was raining, so those birds of prey his mother seemed so worried about probably wouldn't be out.
Meanwhile, a huge form hauled itself behind Coal and Whitefire, still pulling itself further, simply going around the large group of dragons than through.
Celestia looked at Whitefire, "Can I help you? These are my family before you ask, adopted and blood kin." Heisei came walking up with Celestia's shadow dragon cousin. Celestia's cousin gave the pair a wary glance and went over to her mother. Celestia's aunt watched the pair through narrowed eyes the glare was a warning 'if you threaten my kin you will regret it...' Celestia continued "That male Lightning has been after my chicks so I called in the family. I also have a student who is the adopted one. Celestia gestured to her chicks "Apparently the three of them are prophesied I don't know the prophacy though. Midnight Oak and Skye, If Lightning thinks he can take them he's mistaken. Especially with my aunt around, she wants to tear his throat out for trying to take my chicks." Celestia looked at Skye splashing in a puddle and Oak trying to stalk a mouse before adding "My family is on both sides of the war but we disregard that concerning our kin... If you two will excuse me my son is apparently hungry."
Whitefire held Celestia's aunt unmoved. "If you wish to be unfriendly then spit it out. Otherwise keep you glares to yourself." she turned back to celestia. "If you ask for my opinion get rid of the family. Lightning is crafty, and actually, I've found the more dragons, the better for him. He uses confusion as a distraction and gets whatever he wants quicker. He will not stop because you have numbers. In fact, I carry coal's chicks" she looked at her mate, "as we speak and yet he still hunts me. I only know fractions of the proficy like she stands alone, behind all told..."
Midnight iterupted. "Hey, that sounds like the poem we found!" she said, and repeated it perfectly. "
A coming war shall strike fear,
into all that dare come near,
Yin and Yang are left powerless,
as blood of innocence is shed needless.
Hidden deep in ancient lore,
they find the souls to entrust,
who can save all they cannot.
Yang of the sun, of fire and man,
the mighty Oak always stands.
With bravery known, along with his strength, he protects all, both strong and weak.
Yin of the night, of water and maiden,
like the Skye that envelops all the land.
Her love is known, and she is quite passive, she feels all, both small and massive.
But there must be one other,
To stand beside sister and brother,
One of balance and justice,
both strong and weak,
both hot and cold,
both brave and meek.
She stands alone, behind all told,
and the Midnight tide will wash away
all the wrong within the world."
Malvadas eyes widened at the sight of Coal and Whitefire, they knew who she was and she knew who they were, it didn't help they had not met on the friendliest of terms. Just being in there presence again made her extremly nervious, expecially with them together, but hearing Whitefire was heavy with Coals chicks sent chills down her spine, and remembering when they were in the cavern, how Lightning and She, attacked her, and now Lightning is the enemy. She couldn't take it any longer, her nerves were shot. So she darted past the dragons, going right by Whitefire and Coal back into the den, figuring at least Coal wouldn't have been able to fit.
Celestia shook her head after feeding her son, "I can count on my family the chicks are guarded well, my relatives hunt rouges, against a unified front who has this much combat experience and knows the turf better than he does. I know how to navigate the pit and Xevius has tunnels if he shows up, My uncle lives along the coast and knows quite a few islands. My blood kin put informal boundaries on my grandparent's territory, we've all grown up here. I am aware of Lightning's confusion tactics I've heard of his battle tactics from the shadow dragons in my family. With my kin sides do not matter, with my kin the war does not affect our relationship." Celestia's cousin added, "Shadow or life we leave politics out of family life, mess with one and you make everyone else very angry, Skye looked out from behind her mother's leg and asked "Mommy why are they here? We can handle the big yellow meanie... The rain and wind say so." Celestia looked at her youngest who was practicing water control it was swirling around her in almost a joyful dance, Skye started giggling innocently and started dancing around with the water that took the shape of a dragon chick "Look mommy! I made a freind!" Celestia smiled at her youngest proudly. She turned to Coal "With my family here I dare him to show his face, he will regret it. Celesta's aunt grinned sadistically, "He reminds me of the male who killed my Skye his daughter... If he trys to go after my great neices and nephew, or my grand chicks I will enjoy making him suffer..." Celestia shook her head "Aunt you're doing the sadistic grin again..." The older female shook her head...
