Subject: Two shadows flit across the ground in the shape of dragons

A copper dragoness watches the ground fall away behind her and keeps a watch for her destination. Finding it, she grins and lowers one shoulder, gliding down and to the side. In her paws lays the biggest buck you've ever seen. When she gets quite close to the ground, she drops the buck, then she herself lands. Her scales are copper and her eyes are like molten gold. Her teeth, claws, and under-wings are gold as well. Hello. I am Sun Dancer. Heart of Pearl is said to reside here. I have come to visit her.She smiles, teeth flashing and searches for Pearl, her friend.
The other shadow belongs to another dragoness, Sun's sister. She also slopes to one side, but she goes into a slow spiral that brings her directly next to Sun. She drops her load, an equaly large doe, and then lands gracefully. Her scales are a light blue, her teeth, claws and under-wings silver. Her eyes, too, are silver. The shyer of the two, she generally keeps quiet, but now she feels that she should introduce herself. Hi. I am Star Burst, Sun's full sister. And yes, we have come to visit Pearl. We have heard that our native lands are having trouble. Is this true? She knew the answer in her heart already, though, for along her passage here, she had seen the thin bodies of those she once knew.

[> The large dragon nods...... -- Thunder Clash, 16:17:30 12/13/02 Fri [1]

He smiles at the two dragoness'. It is true. There is a famine within the lands and we are having trouble finding food. The wolves may be willing to make a treaty with us though. Food for us from them in return for protection for them from us. I think it's a rather good idea, but we will see what their Queen says. He makes a slight bow before introducing himself. I am the Leader of these lands. My name is Thunder Clash, but as friend's of my mother's, you may call me Sparks. I am Heart of Pearl's adopted son. He smiles at them and waits for his mother's arrival....

Hello you scallywags! So good to see you again! And I see that you've met my son, Sparks! Good, good. Oh and the meet. Such fine beasts. It mist have taken a good deal of time and skill to get these buggers. She laughs and hugs the two.

[> [> [> ~Pearl!~They cry and hug her back -- Sun and Star, 18:59:47 12/15/02 Sun [1]

Sun bursts out happily Pearl! Hey, how have you been? We've been hanging out in the wolf lands, of all places! She laughs her light but full-throated laugh. We brought you some food. Does this help around here? Are you hungery? She asks, slightly teasing on the last bit, knowing that they probably were. Hello, Pearl's son, Sparks. Very nice to meet you. She says, mockingly formal, then smiles her wide smile.
Star smiles, her silver teeth glinting slighly. Her equally silver eyes are soft and gentle as she hugs her old friend back. Hello Pearl. I hope that you've been faring fairly well. She says this quiety, as was her manner of doing things. The last hunt, in which she brought down the doe, had changed her somehow. She seemed a little bolder than she used to be, though not too much bolder. She was still soft spoken and gentle. She turns her soft silver gaze towards the dragon beside the small group of dragonesses. Hello Sparks. It's so good to finally meet you, after what Pearl has said about you. She does boast about you a lot. I guess it's motherly love. I can imagine what thats like, though not well, for I am no mother. She says this last bit almost wistfully, for she had never met "Mr.Right".

I thank you both for your kindness in bringing us something to eat. We shall all share in it I believe, but of course, ladies are first. Silver gaze flickers from one to the next as he waits for them to begin eating before he does.....

[> They laugh at his chivalrous act, but oblige anyway -- Sun and Star, 10:12:48 12/19/02 Thu [1]

Her laughs rings out, a solid soprano. Her golden eyes sparkle as they rest upon Sparks. I thank you, Sparks. She bows over and takes a small mouthful of the doe, saving most of the meat for the two far-more-hungery dragons.
Star follows suit after her sister, taking a small chew from the doe, saving most of the doea nd then the buck for Saprks and Pearl. Even though her inner voice told her to keep quiet, she comments My sister and I no longer wish to live with the wolves. Don't get us wrong, they are very nice, but being apart from one's own species for a long period of time is......hard. We wish to return, but not to our own TT. She raises silver eyes to look at the two residents of the North, then pushes on, the boldest she dares to be. May we live here? We wouldn't get in the way, infact, we'd probably help! We could still hunt in the wolfen lands, for we are linked to them by bonds.

[> [> He smiles at them both..... -- Sparks, 13:17:08 12/19/02 Thu [1]

He still does not move to eat anything as his mother had not yet eaten anything. He nods his blue and purple hued head at their request, silver eyes resting on the matching silver gaze of Star. You are both more than welcome to stay here. In fact, I would be delighted that you both stay. I am currently working on a treaty with the wolves. They should report to me from their Queen fairly soon. He smiles again at them both, happy to have his TT growing for his little neice or nephew......

[> ~shimmer~ -- Pearl, 12:20:31 12/20/02 Fri [1]

Son, when did you become so valiant? She laughs then takes a mouthful from the buck's front shoulder, slightly tough meat, but meat that she loved. She turns her blue yes on Sparks. Go ahead, eat. Oh, and take a taste of the buck's hindquarters. You'll probably never taste anything so good in your life! She smiles, then falls back to her meal. After a few moments, she raises her muzzle to say, Star. Sun. Thank you so much for the meat. I can't believe how hungery I actually was!

He says nothing in response to her comment about him being valiant. He'd always been very curteous to others all his life. He shrugs and does as she suggests, taking a large bite of the bucks hindquarters. He smiled and nodded, swallowing. Very good indeed. I thank you Star and Sun.

[> [> [> Thay both smile -- Sun and Star, 19:48:31 12/21/02 Sat [1]

No problem! We were more than happy to bring you the kill. In the wolfen lands, we had enough to eat, so we're not that hungery right now. You take as much as you want and don't worry about us!. Her smile is wide, enjoying the idea that they had actually helped someone (something which never ceased to amaze her!)
Yes, you listen to Sun. What she says is truth. So go ahead and dig in!. Her smile shows her equal enjoyment in the helping of others.

His silver gaze flickers to Star again before he takes another bite. She seemed to be a shy one, but he liked her all the more. More mysterious and intriging. Silver orbs found hers again before he quickly looked away, pretending to be absorbed in the food....

Blue eyes watch her son and the two sisters while she ate silently. She also watches when, noted with approval and amusement, she notices her son glancing at Star. She suppresses a grin by biting into deer flesh again. If things were to develop between the two, then she must not interfere, but let it happen on it's own.

[> [> [> [> [> [> The sisters try to figure something out -- Sun and Star, 19:58:38 12/22/02 Sun [1]

Golden orbs flicker around till they lie in the direction of their old home. Star? I wonder whatever happened to Mom and Dad? Are they still there? Are they ok? Hmmmmm.....
Silver eyes also turn from their position of watching Pearl and Sparks (mostly Sparks) to look towards home. Yes. I have wondered myself, sister. Although, from the way things looked when we left, I don't think that much is happening now. She staes this slowly, saddly, as gaze drops to the ground, where she scuffles the dirt with a silver taloned foot-paw.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Brute's silver gaze flickers up at their words...... -- Sparks, 20:03:49 12/22/02 Sun [1]

He looks at them quizzingly. Whom are your parents and where were they living? It would be easy enough to find them if they are still here. He smiles at them both. He would be happy to help them look for their parents....

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Golden gaze follows the same path of silver one till it too gazed earthward -- Sun and Star, 20:56:05 12/22/02 Sun [1]

For once, Sun decides to keep quiet and stay out of the light of the conversation. She was too deeply immersed in memories at the moment.
Star, left to explain, struggles out of memories of her own, and lifts the path of her silver orbs till they were on Sparks. Our last meeting with our parents, adoptive parents, was in the West TT. They were Mists of Avalon and Silfia. Soon after me and my sister were born, our real parents left for some reason and never returned. Mist and Silfia took us under their wing, almost literaly. After a period of time where both of us, Sun and I, had to be away, Mist and Silfia told us that while they would still be regarded as their children, we wouldn't be recognised publicaly as such. It hurt slightly, for they had raised us. When a wolf came to our lands, asking if a dragon would perhaps act as a gaurdian for her in the wolfen lands, we agreed and left. Now we are back, only we are here. While we still care about the welbeing of Mist and Silfia, we don't really care to go and visit, at least, not for a while. We will most likely go in a short time, but not now. When at last Star is done with her story of explaination, she conyinues to hold her eyes on Saprks, hoping that he would understand.
(maybe to understand their feeling a little better, you could go to the West TT and find the post and read what passed between Mist and Silfia and Sun and Star. It's only a suggestion though)

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> He nods slightly at her words....... -- Sparks, 10:11:30 12/23/02 Mon [1]

He gives them a a soft, reassuring smile. While I can't say I completely understand you, I can in some ways. Pearl is not my birth mother, but I feel as though she is such. She raised me from right after I hatched. If she were to say I would not be 'publicly' acknowledged as her son, it would hurt me as well. However, remember that you will always be their daughters' in their hearts. I think that is most what counts, even though I do not think that they should have said that you would not be recognized as such in others' eyes. He sits back on his haunches, silver belly glimmering in the firelight. He had spoken what he felt, even if it may have been a bit out of bounds for him to say. But it seemed as though they had needed his words, so he had freely and happily given them.....

Sun comes back out of her reverie and smiles at Sparks. Thank you. I think that perhaps we will go visit them after all.
Star also smiles, liking what he said. Yes. she remarks to Sun We will go visit them now. turning to Sparks, she asks Would you like to go and meet them? I'm sure that they would like to meet our new leader. She smiles encouragingly, hoping he'll say yes.

I'd love to come with you to meet them. He looks towards his mother. Do you want to come also? he inquires with an arched brow....

I'll just go look to see if any draklings need a mother. She says, tehn takes off with one mighty drag of her strong wings and soars magestically out of the North.

Sun gives a savage grin as she stares at the sky. She drags her wings to her side as she prepares to take off. Her golden eyes flicker to Sparks for a second. Thank you Saprks, for accompanying us and excepting us. Her eyes leave him once again to look skyward.
Silver eyes gaze gently at Sparks. Yes. Thank you. Now, remember that we're going to the West TT. Just making sure that you end up in the right place. She comments with a soft laughing edge to her voice. She lifts her wings delicatly, and spreads them widely by her side. She gives them a few good thrusts to limber them, then lets them hang by her side, open and ready for take-off. With a last smile, she leaps catlike into the air, and at the pinnacle of the jump, her wide silver wings catch the air and takes her aloft. Silver eyes glance to see if her sister and Sparks were joining her.

His own indigo wings flare from his sides, spreading wide. I'll meet you there, he calls to them, leaping into the air behind them....
