Esiria, a land now isolated due to the efforts of the last remaining Goddess, is inaccessible to all beings and lies in the east. Soare, a continent in the west, is composed of three distinct nations: Ashoka, Soto, and Morrim. Lying between the two major continents are the Scattered Isles. Since the dissolution of the pantheon and the fall of the gods, these countries have existed in relative peace and prosperity. But how long will that peace last?

Drake was wandering through the forest, aimlessly as usual. He'd probably have more luck finding bandits somewhere else, maybe along the road, but... He liked wandering through the forest. And chaos tended to manage to find him anyway... Speaking of which... Drake thought he heard people talking nearby. He couldn't quite make out all of the words, but what he was able to hear wasn't pleasant... At all. Drake walked toward the voices cautiously, prepared for combat at any moment. As he got closer, he could hear the conversation more clearly... No matter how he wished he couldn't. Then, he ended up walking right into a clearing through some thick bushes that had been obscuring it. There were a number of thugs in the clearing, all with weapons of various types next to them. As Drake stepped into the clearing, their (disgusting) conversation halted, and they stared at him. Suddenly, one of them, maybe the leader, shouted, "Get 'im! He might have somethin' on 'im!" as he picked up his axe and leaped up before charging at Drake. Drake's eyes changed in an instant, the irises were now golden and the pupils had become slit, appearing almost to be looking into endless flames. Drake said to them, "You want to fight me?" Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and Drake was now in dragon form. Alright. And when I win and destroy all of you, the world will have that much less scum in it! Drake couldn't stand monsters like these at all. As far as he was concerned, they could die in a fire... And would. Drake shot into the air, avoiding several attacks, including some throwing knives, a couple of arrows, and the leader's attack. The leader cursed when one of his men's arrows grazed by his leg... A poorly aimed shot. How pathetic. Drake thought to himself. He then took a deep breath and unleashed flames upon the nearest bandits, while dodging ranged attacks as well. After twenty seconds, he'd expended his flames for now, and every single one of the bandits had been reduced to ash... Except the leader. The leader looked up at him, too terrified to say anything at all. Drake gave a snort of disgust before darting toward the man and unleashing a blinding flurry of claw attacks. Drake eventually stopped, but by then, he'd left the man's torso appearing ripped apart, with the ribs showing. There were several cuts on the man's arms as well. Drake flew back a bit, and then shifted to human form with a flash of light. When Drake shifted, he was kneeling on his right knee, his cape hanging over his left shoulder. Drake still had a look on his face that wasn't quite angry, but neither quite calm. It was a look that said, "You're going to die." though the ones it was directed at were already dead. That look quickly faded to an expression of almost disinterest as he stood up, and then his eyes returned to normal as well. Drake looked around him at the ashes that were remaining of that bandits, their slightly melted weapons, and at the shredded corpse of their leader. He smirked slightly... This had gone much better than that time Shien-Zen had to rescue him a week or so ago. One of the bandits there had some sort of fire immunity spell, and so Drake had come into close combat with the man, who had lashed out with a knife, giving a deadly blow... But that didn't really matter now. Drake supposed he'd just resume wandering now... But he stood there for just a moment longer. He had nowhere to go anyway... |

"Ohmigosh!" Agnar said in complete and utter horror as he saw what had transpired. He had been wandering in the area, aimlessly as always. Today he had been simply messing with his ghost sound spell and was having too much fun with it. He looked at the chaos that had ensued, the ashes, the blood, the shreaded corpse. "You.. Teh draggony man. You killed....all of these adventurers who were mindin their buisiness. Why would ja doooo such a thing." As he said this, he flailed his right arm, pointing at Drake, as he held the other staff with his left hand. "Yea...know....this reminds me of a day in meh youth. Funny story. I too can transform into a dragonny man, a pink one. Can't no more though." He took this time to examine the person, he knew full well that Drake had been attacked, he was messing with him. A 6,7 young man, rather imposing, could shift into a dragon. Seeing how he had done that, Agnar could assume he was something along the lines of a Animagus. He had encountered few of these before. They were an interesting bunch. "So...uh....yea...Whydja do this....you got something against adventurers or somethin?" |

Drake suddenly heard a voice cry out, "Ohmigosh!" and he whirled around to look. There was a man standing there, appearing horrified. The man began talking some more, with a rather... Odd way of speaking. Apparently he thought that Drake had attacked those men out of nowhere, just referred to them as adventurers? Drake tried to respond, but the man kept speaking... The man said something about having once been able to turn into a dragon as well?! ...A pink one. And not anymore? Uh-huh, yeah... Drake somehow doubted that. This guy seemed rather strange... Then the man asked why he'd attacked the bandits. Drake simply sighed, "I didn't attack them... They attacked me! And you probably didn't hear the disgusting things they were talking about doing earlier... They were bandits, and I was just keeping them from harming innocent people." Drake wasn't sure what else to say to the strange man... He had a bad feeling that this was going to somehow end up as being utterly insane. Chaos seemed to love following him... And apparently sending strange people like six-winged angels who punch a bandit from the sky, heal you, and then start picking a bunch of fights, and strange men who spoke in odd ways, made claims they clearly couldn't back up, and seemed to see situations as the exact opposite of how it happened... |

The young boy in front of him sighed, telling Agnar that they had attacked him first, that they were in fact the bandits and were apparently talking of many foul and evil things before he had arrived and brutally slaughtered them. Agnar believed him but did not show it. It was time to have a little fun. "I see. I see. I see....." Agnar repeated. "Hmmmm.....Talking bout all sortsa rapin and pillaging and fraud. Ahh yes. Document fraud. Cruelest of actions that can 'ccur in these.....these......places." Agnar stopped and began to stroke his chin which was hidden under his beard. As he did, a small tiny brown bird flew out from it, no illusion. Small animals had a bad habit of entering his beard when he was asleep and remaining there until disturbed. Fortunately, none had caused any harm. "Ohhhh....them birds and their nestin. So annoying. Hidin ‘mungst meh beard and what not." He grabbed his beard and began to stroke it, making sure nothing more was in it. As he did he examined the corpse on the ground. Some how this man had survived being incinerated. As a result he had been violently torn apart by the claws of Drake in his dragon form. His arms had various cuts on them, pieces of his flesh and muscle simply torn off. His rib cage had been violently exposed. Agnar contemplated an idea, it would however, involve the use of this corpse. He turned his head back to Drake. “Suppose them boys had it commin. Seeing how they jumped yee and talked such foul talk. Anyway, how old are yea…you dun seem that old. Yet you’re so big. And a Draggonny man on top of this all. Hyuck Hyuck Hyuck…oh hoooo hooooooooooo oooooo Hyuck. No…you must be in your mid-twenties at least. Man your size. Dragonny man your size. Must be bout 24 or 25” He was glad Drake couldn’t read his mind. Inside, Agnar was cracking up. He himself was amazed he could keep a straight face. It’s a good thing he had that laugh of his. If not for that, he’d probably have given himself away. Edited by DH_Ninja, Jul 26 2009, 11:32 PM.

Well, the guy wasn't still acting like he thought Drake had simply attacked them. Though why would he mention document fraud along with rape and murder...? This man was seriously weird... And then a bird flew out from the man's beard. Drake jumped back slightly, startled, before his face went back to an "I have no idea what is going on and I have a headache..." look. The man didn't even seem startled either, just commented that the birds were annoying. Drake wondered if he should just walk off, this guy was really strange... After some time of just stroking his beard, the man suddenly spoke again. Asking how old Drake was...? Drake responded, sounding unsure, "Er... I'm sixteen years old..." He very slowly backed away toward the opposite side of the clearing as he talked. Even though he'd been lonely when he wandered by himself, this guy just plain freaked him out slightly... He didn't want to stay and talk... Edited by Drake Aurelis, Jul 27 2009, 10:13 AM.

"Only sixteen years old! My oh my oh my. You look soooooo much older then that. Wait, why are ye backing away from meh." Agnar commented. "I mean no harm, maybe I do, hmmm, nope, no I don't. Anyway, my name is Pablo MacLucid, say would a fine strapping young sixteen year old dragonny man such as yourself happen to have any.......magicky stuff." Agnar began stroking his beard again, simply to stroke it. Nothing more, nothing less. He wanted magical items, stuff to annalyze, perhaps even a traveling companion to accompany him on many adventures as well as oddeseys. He looked over at the bandit that lay on the ground torn appart. Perhaps this man had an item or two, considering they hadn't been incinerated. |

Well... Yeah, Drake did look older than sixteen. For one thing, he was so tall... And he'd probably keep growing even more. The man had noticed Drake's backing away, and he winced. Well, at this point... Maybe he should just go into dragon form and fly off? Since the man had already noticed him backing away... Then, the man introduced himself as "Pablo MacLucid" ...Interesting name. Rather ironic too... Was it real? Not like he supposed it mattered in itself, but few people that hid their names had no real reason to... Though it could be real, even if it was so ironic... Suddenly, "Pablo" asked Drake if he had any "magicky stuff." Drake looked at him strangely, "Magicky stuff?" he asked, "You mean like... Enchanted items?" He shook his head. "No, I don't. All I really have are these two swords, which are rather ordinary. I can sense enchantments as long as they aren't made to avoid being detected by someone who can sense magic..." He stopped talking right there. He probably shouldn't have said that... Drake found this man to be extremely strange. He didn't want Pablo to be interested in him, and if he was searching for enchanted items, he'd likely be wanting Drake's help... Drake did NOT want to get caught up with this guy. Then again, this guy couldn't really force him to do anything, could he? |

"You can sense teh magicky stuff!" Agnar exclaimed, he was too excited, he stood up straight, a loud cracking sound could be heard from his back. He hadn't stood up straight for quite some time. He turned to hte left as he kept his feet firmly planted on the ground and then to the right, each time an equally loud crack could be heard. "Maybe you can help this old man out, I search for these magicky items and traveling alone can be oh so lonely. would ja mind occompaning meh on my many oddesseys and journeys as I travel the world." He proceeded to return to hunching over, he didn't like standing up straight and it wasn't like good posture was going to start helping him out after years of hunching over. Frankly, he just didn't really care much about his back any more. "So, whaddy say, before I start questionin' why a dragonny man carries around two ordinary swords with em." |

Oh crud... Drake thought to himself. As he'd feared, the guy was now extremely interested in him. Drake really had a look on his face like he was about to dart out of there faster than a bat out of hell. Because he really had no idea why he didn't... He wasn't interested in being near this man, Pablo freaked him out far more than anyone who actually seemed like they could endanger his life ever had... Pablo asked if Drake would travel with him and help him look for artifacts. Then he said something about questioning why Drake would carry around the swords. Drake just looked at Pablo like he was crazy... Which seemed quite likely to Drake. He said, "Er... I carry the swords around so I can fight in human form instead of dragon form if I want to... What's strange about that exactly?" Drake shook his head, "Anyway... I'm not so sure about traveling with you... I-" Drake really had no idea what else to say. He was seriously contemplating getting out of there as fast as he could, even wondering why he hadn't already done so... While Drake tended not to be so blunt as to actually say that he had no desire to travel with Pablo, his demeanor showed it perfectly. He didn't quite look scared, but he did look freaked out, like he wanted to get out of there... |

"Awww, that is a gooood point. Hyuck! Hyuck! Hyuck! Awwwww shucks, wish I had thought of dat one. Awwwww you dun wanna travel wit' meh. That's fine...I guess." Agnar gave a long sigh, upset by the thought. He wanted a traveling companion. He needed to think of something quickly. "Say.....perhaps I could prove useful in your journeys n' such. Ol' Pablo can do maannnny magicky things. I can magicky sounds and images as well as make all sorts of people shut up. In fact, I am the great Artificer, Pablo MacLucid. Please....alow meh to occompany you on your journeys." Agnar began to hold his chin, looking at the boy's eyes. He hoped for a change of heart. It would make things so much more worth while. |

Agnar really seemed to want a travel companion. But Drake really wasn't sure if he could take traveling with Pablo for a long period of time... He was kind of afraid of what might happen. The strange man then started talking about that he could probably be useful, make "magicky sounds and images" as well as... Make people shut up? Drake couldn't really understand what that was about. He referred to himself as a "Great Artificer" He shook his head, "I... I don't really think so. I'm sorry. Maybe we'll meet again...?" Drake really kind of hoped not. He finally decided to go on and leave, it wasn't a good sign when he met someone that he didn't want to travel with even though he tended to be lonely himself... He was still conflicted, but he knew what he'd do. He shifted into dragon form with a flash of light and then said Bye... before flying off into the forest. |

Agnar watched as Drake took off into the air after declining his offer. "Shame I neva even got his name." Agnar said scratching his chin. He began to travel in the direction that Drake had been going. Teleportation was truly a blessing. He would use it to keep track of Drake and follow. We shall meet again. I will follow you, prove my worth. He thought as he began to follow and then seemingly vanished as his whole entire body was enveloped into a white form. |
