Roleplaying

I turned his head to adress the new dragon with as much as a small dip of the head. Then I quickly turned my attention back to Nightmare who I was listening intently to.

Her plan over all was great. I had no objections came to mind. I thought overed it and puzzled over a question that came into mind but everything else was fine."Alright, I agree with your plan. Its the best thing we have at the moment...well its better then anything. We will get our revange...and I will love the feeling of real air under my wings. Now we need to keep meetings under secrecy...if the humans fine us talking over and over again they MIGHT think something is up. This is proably the best spot to meet up in...perferably at night...if there is a night in this place. And I geuss we shall see if we can stay alive." I said shuffling my wings and sitting down.

I nodded, listening to Valdr carefully. Suddenly, something in his words sparked memories.

A moonlit cliff with fireflies dancing all around. Looking into his eyes and knowing all was right. Being comforted under his wing, and feeling his warm breath on my head...

 The memories came hard and painful. Dreamcatcher, my love who dissappeared without a trace, was a touchy subject for me. A thought hit me. What if he was captured by humans?The possibility of finding gripped all five of my senses and I struggled to answer Valdr. "Yes.. er,... I mean this place is fine... um... Do you thinks its possible lost friends where captured and still live here?" the words came in a jumble to quick for me to stop. I clamped my mouth shut, knowing I had said to much. What was the possibility he was alive anyways? I knew I could not undo my words, so I waited semi-patiently for Valdr's reply.

I was back in the meadow and overheard the escape plans. I'll have to speak with the fox since my own escape plans depended on the furball. Moriko was her name I think. That human had worked me too hard and tried to make me mate with a shadow dragon. He was handsome and everything but locking me in that small no melt cage with him wasn't pleasant. I glanced at that shadow male who was strutting around like he owned the place. Both the fire and ice males were glaring talons at him. The fire dragon was yammering at the ice male about ways to kill a shadow dragon, while the ice male just glared silently. Shadow dragons are rare and a purebreed is unheard of. They interbreed with ice dragons regularly. Ice dragons are thin on the ground thanks to fire dragons. Shadows are just plain rare. The human said something about breeding a black ice dragon. I'd mentioned that black purebred ice dragons did exsist, but she wanted to have one without paying for a special hunting trip. I did not like that human anymore. It was a novel experiance but I wanted to go home.

I sat there puzzled over her question for a while. What was she talking about old friends but finally he came up with a note worthy answer of the sorts,"Well it can be a possiablity but chances are slim. We are forced to our knees to serve the no scales, the pink flesh creatures. We are forced to think like an animal and if one as been in here long enough they would go insane like a mad animal and lose all memory judgeing by some in this place. And if they are new they are scred and fagile and will either attack or run from anything that moves there way. AND if they arnt either of those then they proably died fighting like they were train....forced to do."

Valdr didnt know if this was any help, if this was to dark and negative, and if this would be any use to the Demon in front of him but all he knew was he wanted to help his new alli, friend in anyway possiable.

Sorrow swooped through me. Valdr was probably correct, there was little chance he was still alive. I hung me head and tail, allowing my feelings to overcome me. I paid no attention a flapping sound behind me, I didn't care. "Than my hope is lost." I said, despair plain in my voice.

"Hope is only lost when you choose to give it up." A voice rumbled behind me, proud and longing. I turned around slowly, and my heart fluttered in my chest. He stood before me, and my heart swell, blooming beautiful flowers and reaching out delicate tendrils towards him. He did not look into my eyes, avoiding my gaze. Does he still love me? Does he care? Can I be with him again? The thought rushed through, and the longer he avoided his gaze. The more concerned I felt. Finally looked up, meeting my eyes. Joy plugged my senses, I could see his love for me in his reflective eyes, and I saw he felt my joy to. He seemed to ask something from me, and I answered his call. My voice was barely above a whisper. "Dreamcatcher"

The wind turned under my mighty wings. The roar echoed in my ears. It was Nightmare, of that I had no doubt. How could they capture her? I thought angrily. My guardian angle was slammed into this.. this.. this monstrous place. I scanned the ground, and saw her next to a large dragon.

"...  AND if they arnt either of those then they proably died fighting like they were train....forced to do." the red dragon spoke. I knew he was talking of past creatures,for the tone of voice said it all. Nightmare bowed her head in despair. I landed gracefully behind her just as she said "Than my hope is lost."

"Hope is only lost when you choose to give it up." I said, repeating a phrase she told me long ago. She turned around slowly, but I did not meet her eyes. I was scared, would she hate me? Did she blame me for my capture? Had she found another? The questions burned my soul. I built up the courage and met her eyes. I saw the same longing, and knew she still loved me. But I had to be sure I stood silent, waiting, listening.

"Dreamcatcher"

Her voice was a whisper, and I knew she missed me as much as I missed her. I said nothing, but rushed forward and put my head over her shoulders, embracing my lost mate.

It hurt me deep to see a friend in dispair like this. I didnt know what to do or what to say to comfort her and it didnt help when I dint know the cause. I was going to open my and say something to her when the smallest of movments out of the cornor of my eye stopped me. I looked up. Another demon dragon like thing landed on the ground, stirring the small partches of grass and dust flew into the air as it was disturbed. He spoke to her and I could tell something stirred alive within her. I watched them carefully waitting to see what would happen, what would go down. It was when he looked up at her did I know what was the case. It was Nightmare's mate. It was clearly told in the way he looked at her and the way she looked back at him. Nightmare siad something so softly that I couldnt make out do to lack of paying attention, but the male rushed up and embraced her.

"Two loved ones are reunited. To back it had to be in this place." was all I managed to say, to them and to myself.

I saw the reunion and smiled which freaked out some herbivores and one skittish griffin. Pity dragons didn't mate for life, some males stuck around to help with their young but that was rare. Soon as the chicks were fledged the males were gone. I wanted to let the pair in on my escape, Moriko was the one this whole plan revolved around. She could shut the force fields off. I'd have to carry her and Fiona off, it'd slow me down but Fiona was in this too, she'd found the meadow's generators. It sickened me how centaurs and kitsune who spoke the human's own language as they wished and had hands, were treated as slaves by humans, and the other creatures were forced to entertain them. To think I'd considered my owner a nice human was just wrong. Moriko and Fiona had opened my eyes I'd get them out one way or another... I owed them that much.

I awkwardly stepped back, rembering where we were. Nightmare tried to hold onto the embrace, but decided to settle standing next to me, shoulder to shoulder. Her cinamon scent whafted around me, and I greatfully inhailed. Nightmare looked at the dragin. "Er, Valdr, this is Dreamcatcher my mate. Dreamcather, this is Valdr, a dragon I just met."

I cut her off with the flick of my tail. "As Nightmare said, I'm Dreamcatcher. I'm assuming you've just been captured because you don't have many scars. I've been here for about six months now, and trust me, lay low. There is much to know, and little time to share it. Your next battle typicly happens once a day, twice if your unlucky. The humans will give you a shot, if you haven't had it all ready, that enhances you gean code to make you heal faster, but it causes more of your wounds to scar. Any thing you want to know?" I was being blunt, but this dragon needed to know the rundown of this place if he was to survive.

I listened carefully, taking in details as he spoke quickly and bluntly."I think I have it now. I have the run down on how some things work here. The other stuff I should get quickly, for I usually do. For now I geuss we just sit around and wait for the next fight, and hope to anyone out there that we survive." I said in my deep voice as I turned my head around to peer behind me. I was itching to fly in the cool air outside but that wasnt going to happen. Already this place was taking afect on my mind. I shook my head almost violently and quickly dug my claws into the dirt and rock. I was rather brain dead right now and had no idea what to do so I quickly turned my attention back to the others. "What should we do now. Just sit here or go a merry ways until next meeting?"

I shook my head. "There's no time. There's never time in this place." I had been through torture for six months, phsyical and mental. "The longer we stay, the harder to escape. Creatures here go mad, no one here has any hope of liveing. We HAVE to give them hope, some way, some how. We have one attempt at escapeing, and I've seen many try. If we can manage to get a big enough group we might have a chance, but I have no clue how to get past the force feilds."

Nightmare sighed. "I do not belong in this conversation. I'm a listener, and I wait for my prey to come to me. I will try to gather information while you plan." I stared at her, not wanting her to go, but I knew she was right. Nightmarewas an ecellent spy, because she knew when to speek, and when not to.

 

I listened silently to their plans. I had no place here, right now, no matter how much I wanted to be near Dreamcatcher. I sighed, capturing Dreamcatcher's attention. "I do not belong in this conversation. I'm a listener, and I wait for my prey to come to me. I will try to gather information while you plan."

I turned and walked off, feelin Dreamcatchers gaze on my back. I headed to the force feild that had the humans behind it, which was ot of sight of the others. I sat a few feet away and studied them closely. A few turned their attentions towards me, which I didn't like. I waited and noticed a small girl walk up o the force field, her eyes intent on me. She looked up at the top where the force field came from. I followed her gaze, and waited. For what, I didn't know, but I waited with the girl across from me for some unknown happening, paitently, silently.

I overheard the other escape plans still smiling as the kitsune walked up acting like she didn't know me at all, Fiona was playing the part of 'introducing' us. Fiona worked my show prep among other things before that she worked with Moriko in the slave driver's home. All three of us huddled like we were gossiping and talked about the escape plans in hushed whispers. I spoke "A few others I overheard were planning an escape. I say we let them in on this so it might be easier to pull it off." Fiona agreed quickly, the centaur seemed to follow my lead for some reason. Moriko sighed "I'll have to speak to them first before I consider letting them in. They might be spies for the humans..." The fox stood up and said "Point them out Serafina so I can see if they are spies. I'll know a spy when I see one since the male I was courting was the one who ratted me out." Fiona started glancing around warily, "I have issues with stallions. But I'll put up with them untill we are free." I huffedwhile pointing the other escapees out "You have male issues too huh?" 

I groaned as I stirred, the last of unconsienceness crwaling slowly out of me, the darkness behind my eyelids was chased away by the little light that made it through the lid. My eyes fluttered open, red like an albino rodent's, and squinted against the light, blinking a few times till my eyes adjusted. As I looked around I wondered where I was and after a moment or so I carefully, slowly, sat up. Absently I went to scratch my neck and jumped with a start when my nails scrapped something around my neck.

"What the-?!" I yelped in Latin, growling when I realized a collare was decorating my neck.

I snarled and leaped at a shadow, failed and ended up hitting the ground. Due to exhaustion my powers were weakened, something on the collar felt cool against my skin. This cold thing kept me from Shadow Traveling outsit the boundaries of the enclosure I was in and once more i looked around, wondering where i was.

I flashed my head up as soon as I could move. That was a mistake, everything tilted sickeningly and blurred, as well as my head throbbing and me feeling queasy. My tongue was parched, and my stomach growled. As soon as everything stopped spinning, I staggered up. I suddenly regained full conciousness and I screeched in anger. Where was Ala?! Where was I? The thought randomly came into my head, and everything went back to normal color, not red. I looked around and realized I was in a tight cage made out of a force field; I couldn't even stretch my wings. I saw a very angry, large pegasus in another cage, yet his wings were sleek and about the only thing nice about him. The pegasus looked very witty, and seemed to be waiting for the force field to dissapear as he glared at me. How dare that petty horse think that he can defeat Yalio, of all griffins! I thought, hissing at him. The ugly horse just tossed his head and winnied threateningly. I growled back and lashed out at the bars, a roar coming out of my beak uncontrollably. I decided that the horse was most likely there from the humans to try to defeat me, but I felt - I knew they couldn't kill or even likewhise hurt me. Or so I thought.

A massive Colosseum, with massive arenas. These have built in generators that create force fields. The fields send and heavy electric shock the sends you backwards if touched. Many of these are placed everywhere.

The Holding area

(For all creatures)

This was created to hold all captive mythicals. It allows the creatures to roam around in this massive meadow, and interact with each other. This is used for studying the lives of mythicals, and is also a time for them to rest and recover for their next fight.

The Stables

(Reserved for serving Pegasus, Unicorns, and other horse-like Mythicals)

This is where the hold all mounting animals. Some horse-like mythicals are tamed and trained to help the humans capture more creatures.

The Forge

(Reserved for Dragons, Phoenix, and other fire elementals)

This humongous cave was built to house magma-core mythicals. Its heat sooths their restless hearts and keeps them relaxed. This is essential so that other creatures have a chance before facing these seemingly invincible beasts.

The Forested Mountains

(For all creatures)

Your original home. This is where you lived before the capture. It is filled with snowy mountain tops, rocky cliffs, and dense forest.

Myths of all types walk the earth, from unicorns to Pegasuses, demons to dragons, basilisks to mutants. All lived in relative harmony, until the humans that is. Now, the humans have built a massive Colosseum, used to pit mythical creatures against one another. To fight to the death.

You are a creature of myth, captured alive to be fought against all types of species. As you struggle to stay alive, you must plot with others to escape, and wreak your vengeance. But not is all that it seems. You are under constant surveillance, make escape that much more difficult.

After you pass the initial test battle, you will be assigned a 'trainer.' The are members of you species who's DNA has been enhanced, so that the may speak English, and train you for better fighting. Some of these are cruel and harsh, others soft and kind.

All you can truly trust is a single phrase. Kill, or be killed.

This will be added to as the RP moves along.

The RP is in First person! (I, me, etc) You must make separate posts for each individual character! (so we don't have slackers who put 3 characters in 1 post >>)

First, I would like for this to be a complex plot ECT. I love detail, and would 'prefer' for it to be descriptive. I feel the current and higher word minimums will help from slack.

 

Any mythical creature is allowed. If I forget one, please message me and I'll be sure to add it. (With the accepting of humanoids like trolls, ogres, and giants. not sure if I want to have them)

Many updates/ warnings/ future plans/ etc will be posted in the occ chat, so be sure to check it often. ^^

MILD gore is allowed. You can do a bit of blood and such, but nothing like 'the guys intestines spilled out everywhere,' that is slightly disturbing.

So, I want to know you RPing ability before I accept, so please write a short RP-like post on how he/she got captured and put it in the extras section. (see my character Nightmare for an example once i add her) IF you can prove to me in the description that your OK (good description EXC) I MAY be lenient on this rule.

Make up the creatures you face, and do NOT kill others unless they give you permission!

Images are welcomed

Also, surgery is performed on basilisks so that they cannot freeze creatures in place or turn the to stone.

More my be added at other times.
