Legend of the Armoured Warrior

[JackZackson]

Concluding that the vanishing hatchling cannot be his own reflection he follows it for lack of anything better to do, after a few unsteady steps he leans heavily against the cave wall Left paw... no left paw first, no my other left paw

[X-Kal]

"Ooh drats, you were so close, too! Hrm... maybe something slower.

Ylfnogard spies the clearing for other creatures... something alittle slower. After a few minutes, an ox appears near the cave, oblivious to his surroundings. The ox calmly leans down, eating a clump of grass nearby. Leaving the whelplings to their task, Ylfnogard flits back into the the cave. He quickly whips out a large mirror, aiming it at Jack.

[Mess]

Mess feels an uneasy twitch inside his nose, but before it could result in a sneeze, a huge thing with branches on it's head runs him over. Mess, however, manages to get back up on his feet, desperately in need of healing.

[JackZackson]

Jack is instantly distracted from the daunting task of coordinating all his limbs and stares into the mirror, this time the scaly, green quadruped mimics his movements

[tinuviel]

Tiv runs around in circles in the cave entrance. "Humans? Humans? What's humans? They don't sound nice at all."

She then watches the other dragons, and carefully mimicks them.

[X-Kal]

Still holding the mirror facing towards Jack, Ylfnogard begines to tell the tale. "Since the dawn of time, humans have feared anything they do not understand. Before, they used to hide from things that were too scary. Today, they kill them instead of hiding from them. Sadly, they fear us the most." Ylfnogard utters a stange incantation. Suddenly, the reflection in the mirror fades away, revealing the image of human warriors, bearing sword and armor. The humans, however, are fighting each other in this scene! "It seems that they fear each other enough that they must kill their own kind. This is why we must be ready to respond."

[JackZackson]

Jack watches the new images, his mind overflowing with questions
Why is only some of it's body covered in scales? Why does it have only one very long claw? Why is it standing on it's hind legs?

[Valancy]

Valancy only vaguely hears Ylfnogard's words as she becomes aware of yet another dragon (Tinuviel). Valancy stares for a long moment, then makes an attempt to wobble over toward Tiv.

[Mess]

Mess, as it turns out, happens to be the first casualty. *Dead on level one*

Daily News:
Mess has been defeated in the forest by Antelope.
"Come back when you learn how to fight," Antelope scoffs.

[X-Kal]

Ylfnogard, sensing trouble, finds a place on the cave wall to mount the mirror, then quickly flits outside. Ramius quickly, but silently approaches Mess for his next feast. However, Ylfnogard flits by and gets in the way. "Hold it!" he exclaims, "These dragons are MY charge, not yours!"

Ramius puts on a pair of glasses and pulls out a few scrolls with fine print on them. He begins to read them, "According to regulations, I am in charge of managing the deaths of all creatures, ranging from humans, elves, dwarves..." and then trails off, hoping that Ylfnogard wouldn't be able to read the fine print. Of course, he did forget that the small size of the little guardian also made the text much more clear. Ylfnogard flits in front of the paper and reads the rest: "Felyne and Storm Giants, but NOT DRAGONS!"

Ylfnogard began to flit about Mess and bring him back to life. Finally, the whelpling's heath had been restored. He then looked at the ox, sighing. "Rules are rules." He pulled out a small dagger and killed the ox, allowing Ramius to take its soul in the dragon's place. On the plus side, however, the whelplings would have something to eat for now.
