OH no!!! The poor kid. And what of this friendly dragon? Will he know how to save the boy's soul? I hope so. And I hope that the good dragons will be able to do something for him as well. I just wish I could seal that dragon back up again, or better yet, banish his spirit to the depths of the underworld/hell. That would teach him. This really is turning out to be a good story.

now why would you want to deny me a chance to take someones body for my own? besides it is not like the boy is dead just... away for the moment.

Maybe because you're evil in this story? Now if you were really a good dragon, I might be a little more sympathetic, but it appears you just want to cause destruction and mayhem and use the boy's soul for your own selfish purposes. If you were to share the body with the boy, that might make me a little more okay with it. But you'd have to be a good dragon to do that wouldn't you?

I am not evil, I am just misunderstood. as to sharing the bodythat is completely out of the question. eventually my conciousness would merge with his and i do not want that and nor would my mate.

now why would that be out of the question? I would think the human would do you some good.

There is no room in my army for him, so his soul will be altered and given new flesh in a form that is more beffiting to one who will be inheriting my element.of course there are always positions of power for those who wish to join me, and i could always use a shpeshifting spy.

Sorry Xaentrick. I'm not interested. If you try to start another war, I'm afraid I may have no choice but to join your parents and brothers. Though I would gladly visit your lovely abode to say hello.

Oh really? Well my parents tend to stay nutral unless something threatens the realm. then they might step in if my brothers can not stop it. although I tend not to do that so I will help them when it is in my best intrest to stay alive. also if you do decide to stop by do let my mate know. She tends to disibowel intruders.

I'll keep that in mind, though I think my power would protect me from her. I have a unique ability, a defense that automatically kicks in whenever I'm put in danger. A barrier of sorts, inpenetrable unless I or it allows others through. It can take any kind of attack, magical or physical, or anything else you can think of, and absorb the energy from it to use against my opponent, or it sends the attack back at the attacker. Pretty much wherever I choose to send it. It's created by one of my rings. My other ones also have special powers. For example, I could take on the form of a dragon or any other creature I wish to. I can heal most any wound and break most any curse with them and my own magical abilities. I do also have a human form which is the form I was born with. Over time, I awakened the magic within me as I was drawn to different worlds and adventures in those worlds. Culminating eventually in the kitsune you konw and love today. But I think I may drop by some time. I'd love to meet your son. I ahve a feeling he has great potential.

Well those could cause a problem or two, but you must remember I dwell in the darkness and all beings have a taint of darkness on them. unfortunatly it works the same way with the light and my brother knows that. he knows that as evil that i am there will always be a tiny portion of good that dwells within me no matter how small. the only good news is it is the same with him

I know. I noticed you wife noticed that too.

Besides, I control all elements including light and darkness, so I think I'd fit right in.

No one can master all elements. you can trainin them all but unless you take the time to truely devoute yourself mind body and soul. Even then you can not master the element for they are always changing and growing. I was hatched with an exceptional skill in the darkness and even I have yet to understand what it is truely capeable of.

true, but the thing is that I was a child of prophecy and so born with a unique understanding of all the elements and they bend to my will because they know that I am good. It's hard to explain. It's a sort of an instinct. I will things to happen and they do. At least elementally speaking. With the rest of my magic it varies. I sort of need training. I've gotten some and can control my magic, but most of the power I use is just that, raw power. To seal away evils etc. I mean destroy the world and universe evil, not the evil that you are. I could get to like you. But yeah. I stand in need of help in that reguard for casting the big spells.

Then be very carful when you visit for my lair is built on a nexus, and not just any kind of nexus. A leech nexus it slowly drains to power of magical artifacts and even drastically weakens the powers of magic users. all of your rings may not work and as weak as you are in normal magic it will be almost non existant at my lair which is good and bad for since it also drains my abilities to the bare minimum.

then how did you cast the spell that restored your mate the rest of teh way and also place that human soul into her womb? That would take some powerful magic wouldn't it? And like I said, my rings can draw power from anywhere, and my barrier would protect me from the magic drain, I assure you. I'd be just fine. Perhaps I could even close the nexus for you. If you wanted it closed.

simple I was using part of the soul to fuel it so i was not using my power and the spell on my mate was already cast it just needed to be given the right amount of power to complete it. as for the placing it into her i did it a different way, I just like to censor my stories for the hatchlings.

ah. a wise decision on your part. I do hope you never choose tot ell the truth of what you did. That would be rather ... adult. A little too adult for my tastes. Still I'd love to visit your abode some time and perhaps your brothers as well.

Luminarus loves visitors, but he does not like it if they are not formal. Durndel and Perion do not like company at all. Xenthroes is never in one place long enough to actually talk too. then kale tends not to listen to others.

Sounds like you have quite the interesting family. But how are they supposed to be divine dragons if they are not willing to listen to others?

Simple, it is our parents that are the divine ones. Other than being ageless and being born into an element there is really nothing special about us. we are around just to grant the illusion that our parents are able to help everyone.

it doesn't seem like such an illusion from what I've read so far.

well it would not be much of an illusion if you could see right through it

a good point. A very good point. So ... when do you think I could drop by your lair anyways?

Any time you wish to drop by you can visit. Just be sure to inform me because we have been having a little slayer problem and Devak has been on edge ever since Porject dropped by randomly.

oh my. I definitely will. Would you mind if I stopped by tomorrow? I would like to get to know your wife and son.

Sure

maybe we should RP the meeting. It would be interesting to visit your world and quite honestly, we're running out of space on here anyways.

that sounds like a good idea

cool. just let me know when you want to do it. I'd prefer on weekends if you can manage it, but I'll be available tomorrow evening as well since it's a three day weekend. You can PM me or we can do it on a chat like MSN or Yahoo. just let me know hwich you prefer in the PM. Also, I'm in Mountain standard time. which time zone are you in?

a weekend is just fine. I am in eastern standard time

cool. Then would you like to try it this weekend towards the evening, say around six or sevenish on friday Mountain standard time?

sounds good to me

see ya then. I'll PM ya.

roger that

How will we be doing this?

I'll probably PM ya and then depending on which you prefer, we can do Yahoo Instant messenger, or we can do MSN. I can give you the contact info when I PM you after you make your decision.

not much of a decision if i only have MSN. =P

MSN it is!!! PM me with your info for it and I'll add you to my contacts list there this weekend. THough we'll ahve to change our time a bit. I have a show I need to participate in that I'd forgotten about for tomorrow. So I probably won't be getting on til around nine my time. As such, I understand if you want to delay the RP until say Saturday afternoon/evening instead.

also i will be posting the next chapter rather soon around an hour or so
