Another lonely day...

[peanutgregory]

[randomly making a new thread because we can't continue the other one without Fizzy... ;P ]

The sun was blazing down on the mountain tops, making every available surface sear with heat. My muzzle twitched, and I sighed heavily. It was just so hot that I couldn't be bothered doing anything, not even zapping other creatures. I rolled onto one side, careful not to crush my wing. The ground was soaking up the heat so fast that it was impossible to stay comfortable. With a groan, I rose to my feet and glanced over the edge of my mountain. There was nothing down below, and the creek was barely trickling. "It's better than this at least," I muttered to myself, lifting my wings and dropping from the edge of the mountain. I spiralled down slowly, drifting gently to the creek and landing right in the water. I crouched and then splayed my body out in the water. It was cool and refreshing after the blazing heat of the sun, but even that didn't take away the loneliness of being up in the mountains. I sighed again, sending a small spark of electricity into the water to scare the fish. Even that held no joy for me today. A medium sized trout leaped outof the water and came back down with a splash. I opened my jaws and the stupid thing swam right into them. Snapping up the fish, I lowered my head completely under the water, only my nostrils breaking the surface. I wished Jertinus would've stayed here. I wished someone new would arrive. I was so bored! I needed to meet somebody new, and go somewhere or do something!
I opened my jaws and bellowed under the water, sending bubbles rising rapidly to the surface of the water. A muffled sounds arose but nothing as loud as what I would have liked. I sighed and resorted to the lowest extremes of boredom. I began blowing bubbles under the water with my snout, sending sparks flying into them to create a light show for my own entertainment.

[Immortal]

The young dragon watched the beautiful, that was at this point blowing bubbles in the water. His bright silver eyes watched her with fascination, the sunlight reflicked off his bright blue scales. His paper thin wings were folded up tightly against his sides. He chuckled when the sparks started popping out the bubbles. She was the first dragon he had seen in a five years. He crouched lower in the tall grass trying not be seen by her. It was very hot out today and he needed water but he was afraid of being seen. Not very many dragons likes him, because he was half Darkness dragon. His saphfire scals started to burn from not moving. Finally he couldn't take it anymore he had to get some water, he wasn't the biggest of dragons but he wasn't small either. He stood about fifteen feet to the shoulder. Crept down river and got some water, hopping she hadn't known he had been watching her. And he pretended not see her hopping that would help too.

(I'll make is profile now and find a pic of him

[peanutgregory]

I soon got bored of popping bubbles with electricity, and submerged myself completely again, closing my eyes and resting in the cool water. I could feel every vibration of every living creature in the water, from the stupid trout to the tiny strands of algae flowing around. I relaxed my body, letting my tired muscles uncoil. I felt the vibration of a muzzle breaking the surface of the water, just downstream from me. I focused, trying to determine what creature was taking a drink, and whether I could be bothered eating it.
Startled, I realised the creature had magic in its veins. I casually lifted my head out of the water and shook it, sending droplets of water flying everywhere. Rising to my feet, I began to slowly turn around, as I realised the creature was another dragon. I narrowed my eyelids and spun around, sending a wave of water crashing over the bank. I cocked my head and stared at the new dragon. He was larger than me, but not by too much. He had deep saphire scales and shining silver eyes. He looked like a Light Dragon to me, but I'd never seen him around before. And it looked like he hadn't seen me yet either. I arched my neck, holding my head up high and letting the sunlight hit my sky blue scales. Tiny beads of light sparkled off my body, and I added an extra dazzling sparkle with a tiny current of natural electricity, letting my scales appear to be dancing in the light. I slowly padded up the creek until I was nearer to the newcomer. "Ahem," I coughed, glaring at him. I hoped my scales would at least half blind him in the light. I could sense something about him but I couldn't figure out what. It was something just...off about him. It made me automatically wary, so I kept my distance, ready to take to the skies if need be.

(Cool beans!)

[Immortal]

I relaxed and drank the water, it was harder for my blood to heat up though so I was not as hot out here as others would be. I watched the beautiful dragon from the corner of my eye, she was extremly beautiful and lovley. I left my head and looked to her when the water spalshed onto the bank, but I quickly lowered my head and pretended to have noticed. When she came up to me, my simple answer was. "Ahem, what? Do I not have the right drink here as well?" I asked, and looked right her. My silver eyes somehow protected me from bright light. "Who might you be?" I asked and sat down relaxing on my huanchs.

(Sorry was in a big hurry!!! onlly have one minute left to get to the main house!)

[peanutgregory]

I glared at the new dragon, angry that he could be so rude. Didn't he know that he was in my territory? I pulled my lips back over my teeth and snarled, my eyes flashing in anger. I was usually the first to welcome new dragons, since I loved company, but just the mere presence of this dragon made my blood boil.
"Ahem, no. Actually, you don't," I growled to him. Sparks danced around my body, sizzling and popping almost immediately in the heat of the day. For once, it wasn't by my own consciousness that they were there. I was simply so angry that my magic overflowed. Now that I was closer to him, I could see that I'd been wrong in thinking he was a Light dragon. No dragon of my own clan would make me feel so angry and on edge. The spines along my back bristled as I drew myself up to my full height, and I glared right at the new dragon, noticing he didn't seem affected by the brightness of my scales. It just made me even angrier!
"I might be Ezmerelda, second in command of the clan of the Light Dragons," I said, my voice quiet but menacing. "So I believe it is I that has the right to ask you, who are you and what are you doing here?" The tip of my tail flicked back and forth in the water. I noticed how he sat down, acting relaxed. How could this new dragon be so arrogant and calm when he wasn't in his own territory?! I snarled again, although a small part of me wondered why I was being so hostile. I didn't even know him, after all.

[Immortal]

I watched the dragon pull back her lips and snarl. I saw the anger flash in her eyes and decided to stay calm, I hadn't come here for a fight or to enrage anyone. I was just curies about these dragons. I flicked my tail and hissed lightly, letting my eyes clould with darkness. "And when was it not aloud for a travler to drink from a brook when their thirsty?" I asked, in a totally mellow voice. She hadn't pushed my temper yet and I hopped that she wouldn't push it to far. There was only so much I could do to hold my dark side in. I sighed and looked to the water and said, "fine you may ask the questions. And it was just a question because I did not know your name. And I am Taipan, the unplaced. I belong no where and am not accepted anywhere. Mixed bloods do not fair well in this world. And I was just passing through." I said still staring at the running water. Everyone could sense my powers and didn't like them, and many hated my bloodlines. Darkness dragons were not very well liked around here, but what I learned with my short time with them was that we would all be in danger if they all dissapeared. THey were our guards and our protecters, most had been made into the things they were now, they had not started out that way. "I'm simply passing through and will be on my way." I said never taking my eyes off the water. Finally I said, "all are cruel to me and do not worry I will quickly leave this place." I said bringing my silver eyes back to her.

[peanutgregory]

I frowned at the newcomer at flicked my tail again, sparks flying from the end of it. He was right, as much as I hated to admit it. He did have the right to stop and drink. I lowered myself to my haunches and sat in the cool water, watching him. As soon as he mentioned he was a mixed blood, I froze. The moment he said it, I knew he had Darkness dragon inside of him. All my instincts screamed at me to either jump him and rip him apart, or to run. My wings quivered, and it took all I had not to spring into the air and fly away as fast as I could. "Where did you come from?" I asked Taipan, still wary. I knew I hadn't been fair in being so grouchy to him, and now I knew where my original dislike for Taipan had come from. I forced myself to be civil, as much as I didn't like this dragon. It wasn't his fault, being who he was. "If you need somewhere to stay for a while, there's an endless amount of empty caves up in the mountains," I said stiffly, jerking my snout upwards to gesture at my home. I frowned when he said everyone was cruel to him, and was about to argue when I realised it was probably true. After all, even I'd just been snappy towards him. I softened a little, although I stayed alert. "You don't have to leave straight away," I told him, the sparks dancing around me subsiding a little until the fizzed into nothing.

[Immortal]

I nodded my head to her, "well in truth I don't know where I came from, I placed with the Ice dragons by the queen but it was to cold for me, so they moved me to the Darkness dragons. This too didn't work. They are a close group and don't like mixed bloods, they said I was too gentle." I said looking to the sky. "They said I didn't belong there and that I had to leave." I sighed and relaxed my body a little more, this dragon was just reacting like she should to a darkness dragon. It was funny that I didn't even know my own parents, but Ever did and just said they were Ice and Darkness. But never told me who they were. "I appreciate that, but if I am truly not welcome I will leave." I said nodded to her.

[peanutgregory]

I frowned at what Taipan said. "The ice was too cold for a part Ice Dragon?" I asked sarcastically. I cocked my head to the side and watched him look at the sky, starting to feel sorry for him. I couldn't imagine what it felt like, to be moved from clan to clan, never really fitting in. I was lucky to be born into my clan and to know my place, from the moment of my birth. "It must have been hard to leave...I guess they would've been kinda like your family." I said, sympathizing with Taipan. As much as my own family got on my nerves, I knew they would always support me and would never tell me to leave. "No really, you can stay. As long as you need to," I told him. I wanted to find out more about Taipan and where he came from. And I was still wary of him, no matter how sorry I felt for him. Until I was sure he could be trusted, I wanted him to stay close so I could keep an eye on him. I decided to change the subject. I didn't know anything about the Darkness Dragons, except that I despised them. I forced myself to relax into the creek, and glanced up at Taipan. "What was it like, being with the Dark clan?" I asked curiously.

[Immortal]

I growled and hissed out. "Ice dragons have hot blood, and I have cold blood." I sighed and looked off into the sky again, this was the warmest day yet and I loved it. What ran through my blood was more ice water, because it was so hard for me to feel warmth. "It wasn't that hard to leave I hadn't been there very long, but there were a couple dragons there that treated me like family." I nodded to her and said, "thank you for the kindness." I smiled and thought about my time with the Darkness dragons they were very proud and strong. They did sometimes find enjoymeant in scaring others but they rarely killed other dragons, although some young Darkness ones were killed but only if they were to weak to fight back. "Brutal, they are slightly on the crazy side. But they are loyal and do love their families, they are slightly mean and cruel but mostly because they were bred to fight. They are our protecters, they deal with all the problems and threats that we do not hear or know. And even some that we are never told. They are guardians of our land." I said, I didn't think like this just because I was part Darkness dragon, no I thought like this because I had seen it first hand. They were the ones who delt with everything to do with our land.

[peanutgregory]

I half rose to my feet as Taipan hissed, ready to defend myself. I settled back down once he began talking, and forced myself to relax once more. I listened to him and felt sad for him again. I nodded at his thanks. "We're a welcoming clan, here. Most travellers stay a few nights to rest and recover before moving on, it's the least we can do. There aren't enough of us to fill even half of all the caves around here."
I watched Taipan as he thought to himself, and I could sense that in a way he was proud about knowing the Darkness Dragons. I frowned at his explanation of them though. "They can't really be protectors," I growled, frustrated. "The Dark clans are betrayers! They're evil!" My tail lashed in the water, disturbing the fish and sending waves and ripples cascading over the surface. My father had told me never to trust a Darkness Dragon, no matter what they said. He told me no truth comes from them, and that they would kill another dragon with the first chance they had. I whined in distress and crouched lower in the water, my eyes narrowing and darting back and forth. I didn't know what was true. "They're murderers," I whispered, although it was more to myself than to Taipan.

[Immortal]

I nodded not reacting much to her, "I do thank you for the offer, but after what I have to say to you, might not be so welcoming. And I will understand that." I sighed trying to control my anger at her attitude towards the Darkness dragons, but I couldn't help my self from giving a silent growl that she couldn't hear. "They are protectors, and they are not betrayers! They are the only clan that has never had at least one dragon turn against queen Ever! The first dragon the was ever a Darkness dragon was Queen Ever herself! Her sister was the first clan leader, to lead them!" I snapped but did not yell or truly show myself as a threat. I was stupid when being in someone else's land. Finally I added, "they are dark but they are not evil."

I heard wings flapping and turned to see a beautiful golden dragon land, he folded his wings tightly against his body and eyed me with uneasiness.

[peanutgregory]

I could sense that Taipan was growing angry with me, and I crouched lower in the water, although I wanted to draw myself up tall and roar at him. I stared up at him as he spoke, and I could tell that he was telling the truth. Or at least what he believed to be the truth. For once in my life I was speechless. I didn't know what to say or do. I whined again as he snapped at me, cringing. I was the second in command of my clan, yet I was afraid of this new dragon. "I can't bring myself to believe you, not after everything I've been told," I said quietly to Taipan. Everything he said about Queen Ever might be true, but it didn't mean that I liked it, or necessarily believed him. I wanted to be nice to Taipan, to let him stay in the caves and let him rest, but I desperately did not want to believe what he was telling me. I was only young, and most Light Dragons said I was naive, and I was happy to stay that way, oblivious to everything that went on outside of my territory.
I heard familiar wingbeats, but kept my eyes trained on Taipan as he turned to see who was joining us. I sat up a little in the water so it didn't show how afraid and unsure I was, and I coiled my tail around me. I couldn't help but feel a little better now that I had company and didn't have to face Taipan completely on my own.

(It's Jackel that just arrived right?)

[Immortal]

(Yeah it was.)

I looked away, way was I being so obnoxious to her? She didn't mean no harm and she wasn't raised with the darkness dragons or raised with their greatest allays. I smiled at her answer and whispered, "don't believe everything your told." I knew I was giving advice against me as well as others, but I hadn't thought of the darkness dragons as anything more then simple evil but once I was required to spend time with them it made me understand way they were the way they were. It was a requirement to be in their clan. You couldn't be afraid of killing others even your own family.

Jackal landed and slithered over to the water and whispered to Ezzy, "who is this?" He wasn't to keen on this dragon but he also sensed him to be a pretty young one, not much older then Ezzy herself. But there was something dark swirling around him that he did not trust.

[peanutgregory]

I frowned at Taipan. Sure, it seemed like there was a shred of truth in his words, but how could he have the nerve to tell me not to believe what I was told by my own family? "I barely know you, where's my reasons to believe what you tell me?" I whined to him. Still, I'd caught his smile and it made my insides twinge with unease. I growled, more to myself than anything, and looked over to the great golden dragon who'd joined us.
"Father, this is Taipan. He's...a traveller," whispered back to my dad. For now, I wasn't sure if I wanted to expose Taipan as a Darkness dragon, although I was sure it wouldn't be long until my father figured it out.

[Immortal]

I snorted and shook my head. I looked into the water, at his words I jerked my head up and said. "You may speak straight to me, Jackal leader of the Light dragons." I nodded my respect to him and looked back into the water. Older dragons made me nervous, well all except Tayra. She was one of the oldest of all the dragons and one of strangest ones. She was one of the legendary Fear dragons. They controled the power of fear.

Jackal ~ I studied the young dragon, he didn't look at home around me. I narrowed my yellow eyes at him and sniffed the air. I could tell he had Darkness in him but I did not put a lot of stock into a half breed. He did not seem to be a danger to me or Ezzy but I did not trust him yet. "What are you Taipan the traveller?" I asked. His head snapped up and his silver eyes met mine, he seemed to be thinking of wether or not to answer honestly. Finally he said. "I am half Darkness and half Ice." I hissed out a slow breath at him, I did not have a problem with half bred Darkness dragons just the full breds. "What are you doing here?" I asked.

Taipan ~ I flicked my tongue and hissed, "I am merlly travling through your lands as a vistor nothing more. I do not wish to give you trouble." I looked away from the old dragon and back into the water...

[peanutgregory]

I glanced back and forth as my father and Taipan exchanged their conversation. I ground my claws through the water, and sent a spark of electricity at a trout, making it leap out of the water. It landed with a splash and I lowered my jaw, snapping it up. I stared at Taipan as I ate the fish slowly and deliberately, then moved my gae to my father. Lowering my voice, I spoke to my dad. "I don't think he's a threat," I said to my father in a whisper. I flicked out a piece of fish that was caught between my fangs and then watched Taipan thoughtfully. I was still annoyed that he'd said so many things about the Darknedd dragons that I didn't want to believe, but I realised that I wanted him to stay. After all; I'd been wishing before for somebody new to talk to and meet, and I'd got my wish. I looked at Taipan and sniffed the air silently, but I couldn't detect any trace of a threat in the air.

[Immortal]

Jackal ~ I shook out my golden scales and looked to Ezzy. "I have to agree with you Ezzy but it is not his Dark blood to worry about, it is his Ice blood." I hissed staring at the blue dragon, at my words his head jerked around and he hissed. "Why is my Ice blood a threat?" He didn't say it in a mean way but a curise way, I lashed my tail and cut down a small tree with the razor sharp tip. "Because Ice burns you more then the dark does." I said, Ice cold burn you in more ways then one, but an Ice dragons heart was frozen and many with their blood were the same. I smirked and sat back on my haunches, "this land sure seems populer to you half Darkness dragon." I said with a chuckle.

Taipan ~ I slightly glared at him and narrowed my silver eyes on him. "Well it is easy to get lost in your mountains, now I know why only Craz patrols your lands..." I hissed, Craz was the only dragon wouldn't get lost up here. Over time Craz had become a pretty good friend to me, and that's how I new Darkness dragons were loyal. And the way she acted to Shadow made her look cold but you could tell that her and Shadow loved each other just by the way they looked at each other. I sighed and looked into the water again.

(BTW every dragon knows who Shadow and Craz are because they lead the Darkness dragons. And I think I'll figure out a way to get Tayra here )

[peanutgregory]

I jerked at what my father said, shocked. Today was just a huge learning curve for me, wasn't it? I looked over at Taipan and felt a little sorry for him, being judged so much for something he had no control over. I whipped my head around to stare at my father as he made his comment about the Darkness dragons. "Dad!" I hissed angrily. I knew he was talking about Jertinus. There was truth in his words though; the only dragons who'd visited lately were half Darkness.
Turning back to Taipan, I was about to explain what my father meant, but he spoke before I could. At the mention of Craz, every scale on my body stood to attention and I jerked upright, hissing without control. I glared at Taipan, snarling as he spoke. I knew it wasn't exactly an insult, it was true that our mountains were difficult to navigate, but the way he said it was so full of criticism that I couldn't help but be irritated. "Well I'm sure you'll find our home easy enough to get around," I said through gritted teeth. "The big empty spaces in the side of the mountains are called caves, that's where we sleep. And the big pointy green things? Those are trees." I narrowed my eyes and could almost feel the sarcasm dripping off my words. When I got mad, I got smart mouthed. I couldn't help it. I lashed my tail in the water and beads of electricity jumped from my scales.

(Yeah haha. Even I know who they are :3 But who's Tayra? :S Never heard of her before muwahahhaa)

[Immortal]

(Tayra is gonna be my new Fear dragon. You can read about them in the dragons.)

Jackal ~ My golden scales shimmered and I growled low in my throat whipping my tail, I lifted my lips in a snarl and snapped. "Don't you dare say that name in my pressence! Those heartless dragons have no right to be anywhere my land!" My white teeth snapped together as my anger poored out of me.

Taipan ~ I did not answer Ezzy, but when Jackal snapped at me, it was the last straw. I turned my red eyes on them and whipped my tail cutting down a small tree. I lifted my lips and snarled. I flapped my wings snapping the tips together. I looked right at Jackal and whisperd, "back off, I did not come her to fight! I came here because I am leaving the dragon land! Now back off!" I snapped letting the Shadow Ice seep out of me and wrap around me like another creature again. Jackal snorted but took a step back and nodded his head. I turned my now silver gaze back to Ezzy and laughed, "I think it is very easy to get around your land. But think if its this easy for me to learn don't you think others will learn it soon as well?" I hissed with a chuckle. Craz wasn't just the one to patrol here because she was the only one who wouldn't get lost but because she was one of the most trusted dragons by the queen. I smirked at Jackal and said, "who would you rather have patroling your land a trusted guard of the queen or slayers?" I knew he wouldn't and couldn't answer the question, I knew he knew as well I did that the Darkness dragon were what kept the Slayers in check.

[peanutgregory]

My scales tingled as my father raged at Taipan. I felt a tiny smug satisfaction inside me, which quickly disappeared as Taipan lost his rocker. I hunkered down in the water and whimpered like a pathetic pup, cowering in the water as Taipan made my father back away. I looked up as Taipan turned his gaze to me, and glared at him, for once not a word left my mouth. Sparks danced in my eyes, blurring my vision. I couldn't believe my father had let Taipan talk to him like that! I opened my jaws, yet no sounds came out. I lashed my tail angrily, and bristled at Taipan's words. No matter what he said, I would never trust a Darkness dragon. I hated how powerless Taipan could render us; we knew there was truth in his words, as much as we hated it.

[Immortal]

Jackal ~ I growled and sat down. I glared at Taipan and threw a glance at Ezzy, I knew she why she was angry but the reason I ad backed down wasn't because Taipan was stronger, but because my clan was known for being peacful and welcoming to outsiders. Plus he had said that he didn't want to fight with me. And some how I knew he was telling the truth. I shot a look to Ezzy, it was a I'm leader back off look. And then that is when it truly seemed to hit me, he said that he was leaving our land. "Did the queen give you premission to leave?"

Taipan ~ I smirked at Ezzy not being able to say anything and then looked to her father, "if my bloodlines are as low as you think they are, isn't my nature to betray my queen?" I asked saracasism dripping off my every word. I looked to the water and whispered, "I am leaving because I do not belong here. There is no place for an Ice Shadow. My blood runs to cold to survive with the Ice dragons and my nature does not run dark enough for that of the Darkness dragons..." I looked up to the sky, and sighed. Every other mix blood had a home but me, I had nothing. I didn't even know who my parents were.

[peanutgregory]

I withered at my father's glance and looked away, back at Taipan. I caught his smirk and glared, then listened to what he had to say to my dad. I cocked my head and lashed my tail thoughtfully. As much as Taipan annoyed me, it saddened me to think he would leave just because he didn't feel wanted. "Stay here," I said suddenly. We had more caves than our clan could fill, and it wasn't like Taipan intended to kill us. Crackles of light jumped from my scales as I looked to my father. I then realised I'd spoken out of my place, and I whispered to my dad, "He can stay, right?"
Taipan had angered me, but my irritation had faded as quickly as it had come. I wanted somebody to stay around and talk to. I needed a friend that wasn't part of my family. I softened my eyes and let electricity make them shine a little, turning my innocent face to my father. I saw my reflection in the water and quickly shook my head. Puppy dog eyes didn't work with dragons...it looked more like I had a thorn stuck in my eyeball. I flashed my teeth to my father and grinned. "Please?"

[Immortal]

Jackal ~ I cocked my head to the side and looked at Taipan, I did feel sorry for him. I smiled a gentel smile at Ezzy. I smiled, lowered my head and whispered. "He can stay." I sat back on my huanches and laughed when she tried to do the puppy dog thing. I smiled at her and said, "Ezzy that look does not become you." I laughed and again and turned to Taipan. "Before you leave the dragon lands please consider just staying here untill you find your true clan."

Taipan ~ I whipped my tail and tilted my head to the side looking at both the Light Dragons, why had they asked me to stay? I didn't understand their kindness to me, but I nodded. "I will stay for a little while but I don't think I will ever find a place to live." I sighed and then laughed thinking of what Jackal had said to Ezzy. I glanced up at the sky, soon someone would come here looking for me, and I knew they would expect me to go with them. I looked around the clear blue sky, I wondered who would be sent after me.

[peanutgregory]

I grinned at my father excitedly. "Thank you!" I hissed, smiling. I growled to my dad, glaring, then laughed. "I know, I know," I admitted. I turned my gaze to Taipan to see how he would react. He seemed undecided still, and a little held back. I smiled when he laughed though, it made him seem happier. I still felt sad for him though. I had no idea how sad it must be to think you would never have a proper home. I watched as he glanced at the sky, and wondered what he was thinking. I wanted to take his mind off it, whatever it was. I glanced slyly to one side to catch my father's eye, then winked one scaly eyelid at him. I looked back to Taipan and with a satisfied hum, I zapped him right on the snout with a burst of electricity.

[Immortal]

Taipan

I heard Ezzy thank her dad and smiled to myself watching the sky, how great it must be to have a family. I thought, as I stared into the sun something zapped my nose. I yelped and jumped backwards, my wing ruffled and my scales shot up to stand on end. I snorted and then sneezed and looked to Ezzy pretending to be mad I said. “What the heck was that for!” But I couldn't keep pretending because I broke out laughing harder then ever, when I got my breath back I narrowed my eyes and thought of the Ice Shadow in my blood and let it seep out and freeze the peace of the broke that Ezzy was in. I smiled and lashed my tail.

Jackal

I shook my head at Ezzy and roared in laughter when she zapped Taipan. And I went into even deeper laughter when he froze the water around her, maybe this dragon would be a blessing to have around after all, maybe he could keep Ezzy occupied enough to stop messing with the poor fish. I smiled and lashed my tail before snorting, I glanced at Ezzy and said. “Don't hurt him to bad.” I smirked and said to Taipan, “I must bid you goodbye for now.” I jumped into the sky but not before sending a beam of light strong enough to knock Taipan off his feet and break his leak to the frozen water.

Tayra

My wings ached and my muscles burned I was so gonna beat the crap out of Taipan for making me fly all the way up here to get him. I was planing a serious prank on him very soon. I smirked at the thought of the trick I could play on him, but I needed the help a very good trickster but where would I find one who would enjoy a trick on Taipan? I wonder still flapping my wings when finally I smell him. I smirked and land far off and stalk up to him, but he was with another dragon and he seemed to be playing a goof on her, I smirked and just rested down waiting to see what the beautiful light dragon would do.

[peanutgregory]

I nearly fell over in the stream laughing at Taipan's reaction. I arched my neck and blinked innocently at him, feigning innocence. "What was what for?" I asked, grinning. I narrowed my eyes when the water around me turned cold, and before I knew what was happening I was frozen in the creek. "What the...Hey! That's cheating!" I yelped, trying to pull my legs out of the stream. The whole chunk of water I was in was frozen solid. I glared at Taipan and lashed my tail, before realising that my tail too was stuck fast in the water. I looked to my dad for help but he was too busy laughing. I sent a spark at him but he lifted off just before it connected. I humphed and glared, sulking, then grinned as my father knocked Taipan over, stopping his magic from freezing me. With a huge jump, I strained my wings and broke free of the ice, flapping higher to gain altitude while Taipan was still regaining his feet. I sent bolt after bolt of electricity into the water around him, making the droplets sizzle and pop continuously in a big light show, trying to blind him momentarily. I landed silently behind him and zapped him from behind, grinning and leaping out of the water before he could freeze me into the creek again. Just for fun, I zapped a trout swimming past, making it leap out of the water. It landed on Taipan's snout with a thump, then flapped uselessly, suspended there. I snorted with laughter, that had worked better than I expected! Taipan looked so ridiculous, with a fish flopping around on his nose, hat I burst into laughter then and there. I could barely breathe from laughing, my talons dug into the soft earth on the banks of the creek and I rolled onto my side, chuckling.
