In reply to: Nuitari 's message, "| Enlightened Mistress |" on 12:50:27 01/23/03 Thu

Shit.
Silven occs flicker momentarily toward Kaal, watching her son bleed by the bastard's claw. To think, she had found 'Kaal interesting..smart and brave. Occs widen, she doesn't speak to the heir, just met the eyes o' Arkados. She didn't say anything, but when 'Kaal echoed his threat she said softly, her manner almost calm.

Don't dare, don't touch another scale on his head, 'Kaal.

A shudder swept through her form.
Deja vu, all over again.
Would she be shunned throughout the bloody Dragonlands?
And why didn't Raistlin come?
She needed her master now...
He was the only one who trusted her, the only one who gave a damn.
But was this a set-up?
No.
She couldn't imagine Raistlin setting her up, for he had been the one to give her this gift.
And what of her second gift-?
The Shadows themselves, her solace. So many undead here, and yet Shadow o' Terror did not make an appearance.
But if she managed to get out of this-?
No, nononono..she needed to do what had been commanded.
She needed to kill Nuitari.
What if she did survive?
She had nowhere to go...hiding in the shadows was no life, with no one..
Her dear child.
If Kaal killed him...

Ooids flare, dangerouslly.
She didn't dare move.
Not with so much power bristling about her.
She needed help..
Who the hell would help her?
Even as that thought came, came her thought of arrogance. And yet she was alone.
Alone.

Takhisis
[.the shadow's Lady.]

[Her expression was blank as she listened and watched. Absorbed everything. And finally she moved. Moved out of Takhisis's way and went to join her brother, the only still living sibling she had in Everdark. Kaal. And her gaze was calm once more, she was calm again]

My apolgises Takhisis. You may continue whenever you feel ready.

[The others could stop her if they would like but her judgement had been passed. She wanted this bitch of an Aunt dead. Perhaps she would gain her family back. Perhaps not. But she would be satisfied once the supposed Light was dead, even if she wasn't the one to avenge them. Her gaze shifted to Onysablet. No, she had never connected with her younger sister. Never connected with any of her siblings.. Except one. The young Pure Sky dracling. Where was he?]

..K.a.a.l..
.g.i.v.i.n.g.i.n.?.

The drake listens silently as he is addressed by Onyx and Takhisis. Optics flicker to Nuitari, holding a flicker of dissapointment. He had a higher opinion of his aunt than his. But, it was so hard do deny Onyx life. He wouldn't do it. He was ruthless. He wanted Onyx back. His mother, perhaps he would like to know her. But Nuitari offered him knowledge. Struggling, the decision was his. He held very literally his sister life in his hands. And perhaps his aunt. Shaking his head he gazes down at the hatchling. Watching the blood fall.
Optics flash to Takhisis, spotting this extreme weakness in the dragoness and memorizing it. She would pay, oh yes she would. And so would he. Claws slips from the draklings tail as he releases him, optics focused on his aunt. Voice mangled with pain, he whispers softly to himself.
Good luck Nuitari.
Staring in disgust at the hatchling before him, he turns and flows into the shadows. Exiting this cavern. Leaving Onyx to watch her life return. If it did at all. He felt weak. Unable to preserve what he wanted. Maw curled into dusgust he looks back to Jeispera.
I believe a one of our guests needs your help. You should go to him.
Optics, like voice, were emotionless. Digust and frustration was gone. Once again, he was a ruthless clown. Taking pleasure in pain. And strangely, hoping it was Takhisis's.
Then, he was gone.

[She watched him dissapear and a pang of guilt struck her. As much as she dispised young Kaal she desperetly cared for him as siblings do. She wanted to.. Protect him from everything. But as she admitted to even herself the Shadows main weakness was pride. And she turned from him]

[She would now leave the others. She did not have enough power to heal the two Mortals yet, she did not know enough. But perhaps her Mother would guide her through it]

Hunter green dracling hisses angrily at Kaal, pearl teeth bared. Another bright red flash echoes through everyone's minds. He was not a happy camper. One day, one day. He promised himself.....

| Glaring at Jeispera, her orbs then narrowed their gaze towards the undead dragons | Hatred pooled through her body | Rage within her finally burst | Without a thought, her body regained its black sheen | Muscles slightly showed more, rippling under sable plates | Eyes shine with eerie glow | Without a flaw, the female Shadow looked like a feminine version of her twin | Hatred rose within her, as her talons wielded her towards the departing few | Smirking, she spoke in a demonic tone | Then I will finish the revenge I started years before | Hissing, the black lithe creature lunged at the dragon she had despised for years | The ebon brute, most like his father in all but mentally | Outstretched talons rake towards the dragon, hatred raging in her blue and silver orbs | Poor Kaal | He was supposed to be the one to die first | Smirk of devilish intent laces her vixen face, as she attacks the male |

.b.l.o.o.d.s.h.a.l.l.f.a.l.l.

The drake turns on his aunt quickly, whipping around. Teeth bare in a deep expression of rage as optics flare up with harted and disgust. Within an instant, his crystalline talons fly he topaz side of his charm and he closes his optics momentairly. A dark rush of energy swallow him and he becomes lost in awe of his own power.
Scales rush from deep black to the deepest gold topaz. Talons are washed with ashen hue. Optics, now flickering open, a shockingly bright yellow. His scales ripple with the effect of th power within, shocks sparing up from his body. He couldn't control his power yet. But he could still use it to kill. Curling his neck into an 'n' shape he guards his heart stone carefully and whips his tail up at his aunts head. His touch was lethal. All he had to do was touch her. And he would be safe. Onyx would return. His mother would return. Jeispera, in all her pride and ignorance would be safe.
One touch.

Damned 'Kaal!
This was her prey, not his!
Wretched fool turning on her, and taking down Nuitari himself.
At least her son was free of the young heir's claw.
Something flared in her skull, hellish occs narrowing to meer slits. Watch Kaal take the credit for this, when this was her duty..she said that she would do this...it was damn near an oath.
Let the shadows be her witness.

She entered the shadows in 2-D form, moving with a purpose, listening to the shadows as they mumered.
A roar escaped her maw as she broke from 2-D, the shadows tight around her, a dread aura of evil.

Die, bitch!

She didn't give a damn about Kaal there, he was doing what he shunned her for. How ironic.
They were allies for the moment.
United in one cause.
To take life from Nuitari's veins.
Pinions unfurl an' she lands harshly 'pon Nuitari's back, talons curling around her necklace's chain, wrenching it back..eiether it would choke her...or it would break...

Takhisis

| As her eyes spotted the electric charm upon her opponent�s necklace, they severely narrowed | She had underestimated him | Again | Bracing herself for pain, she believed that she could live through the electric jolt she was about to embrace | Twisting her body in such an usual angle, her orbs caught Takhisis�s precise movements | And immediately, she knew who had sent her to kill the Light Lady | Not the prince, nor the princess | Neither the undead | With the grasp of her necklace, she knew | It was her twin | Her brother of blood | Raistlin | She knew now, that she indeed was playing with death itself | She was prepared for it, she did not fear the hug of Lady Death | Not now, she had gotten what she had wanted | Yes, Takhisis� But, give my regards to my brother for me, if you live through this | Smirking, as the dragoness of Impure descent grasped the necklace of diamond around her neck | Her own talons raked down upon the Shadowess� own necklace | With enough force to pierce her plated chest as well | Smirking deviously, her body then lost all of its balance | Falling into the Shadow Prince�s golden scales | But dragging the assassin with her, clinging onto the necklace and hopefully flesh | As the electricity flashed throughout her body | The jolts of pain and then numbness erupted | But still, she would live | Was that alone enough to kill the Light Lady, now Darkened vixen | Orbs of silver and sapphires remain open, gazing up into unknown space |

..K.a.a.l..
.d.a.m.n.

He glares sullenly at the dragoness that attacked his attacker. He cared not who she allied with. This was his revenge.
Away Takhisis, or I'll kill you along with her.
Then he moved swiftly to his fallen aunt. If indeed she had fallen. His face twists into buried pain and hate as he shakes his head.
Goodbye Nuitari.
Then, swiftly he reaches down with a golden and ashen hand. One that he was attempting to focus his power on. Down, he dropped his hand to the dark vixens heart stone. Whipping hsi tail around to knock the assassin away, if she was still near. And she would have moved, if she had any brain at all. For he was still lethal in touch. Pausing for only one moment to gaze into ther blank eyes, he smirks with the devious adrenaline rush one gains before a kill. And plunges an energy filled paw towards her heartstone.

| And so she watched his movements | But the first jolt had knocked the wind out of her | So all she could do was watch the prince win | Narrowing her eyes, a smirk appeared upon her face | Breathing deeply, she allowed the charged talon to grasp her |

ZZZZzzzzt

| Her eyes remained open | Their pupils were gone, eaten away by the electrical impulses | Her body lay limp | Neck no longer arched | Talons scarred upon the floor | But still, no luck

The Heart Stone remained brilliant, untouched, uncracked

| For a moment, her heart stopped | But now it beated with undying fury | Blinking her eyes, she realized she was blind | But, sight was not needed now | Touching her own charmed chain, the darkness prevailed around them all | And the shadows directed her | Still lying there, the enlightened and darkened mistress lie | A smirk upon her face | Try again, will you? Even I could figure out, that once you use your power - It drains itself everytime you use it in a row... Would you like to try again? Or do I get my turn | With a hiss, she stood upon her two legs, two arms | Smirking, she ran directly at him | Holding her charm, as a dark energy aura surrounded her | If touched, the shadowed aura would drain energy, little by little | And so, ebon charged scales reached for the golden dragon |Waiting for revenge |

Takhisis cursed, a talon closing sharply o'er her own charm, the chain links miraculouslly staying firm as she pulled sharply away from Nuitari, scales next to her own Heartstone lifting away. Blood flowed around the ruby Heartstone, as if the stone itself weeped blood.
She managed to duck before Kaal's lethal talon touched her, pain in her chest. She saw Nuitari's move and gasped.
The light one rushed 'Kaal, shadows about her.
But Takhisis would intervene.
Clutching her charm tightly, wishing the shadows would help her, running head on into Nuitari.
Blessed shadows..
That was her only thought, her other thought being she would not fail her Lord.
Raistlin.
Silven occs narrowing as she felt the other's aura of shadow, desperatly calling the shadows to her, hoping the darkness itself would intervene.
She was the shadow dancer.
Nuitari had the power too, but Takhisis loved the shadows..she did not hide behind a light body.
Blessed Shadows..

..K.a.a.l..
.d.a.r.k.n.e.s.s.

The drake roars in frustration, pulling away from the shadowess. Optics flaring with fury he retreats from the dragoness. Now her touch was just as fatal as his. Which had proven not so lethal. But she was blind. One sense down, four more to go. Pulling back, he was almost thankful got the intervention of his sister and Takhisis. But also annoyed. He could do this.

She was right though, he couldn't continue these head on attacks. He wasn't as strong as she. Mind working furiously, he considered his options. Two dimension form wasn't exactly safe with these two shadow dancers about. He would only put himself into more danger. He need light. Light dimished shadows, leaving them without a power to control. But where would he find light in Everdark! Frustrasion pounds at his youthful mind. He could be a source of light, but he wasn't about to test that out. Waste his energy. Think Kaal, think! Okay, Nuitari couldn't see. And he couldn't touch her, for fear of losing his energy. But if he had no energy to lose...

Taking a gamble, the prince focuses on the opposite side of his charm, allowing ebon and crystalline to embrace him once more. Take out her senses. She couldn't see. Next, he would take out her sense of smell. Then ears. Taste wasn't a problem right now, and neither was touch. He wouldn't allow a touch from her. Quickly he slinks forward, cursing Takhisis's bulk. Awaiting for the shadowesses to hit each other, he remained tense, reading to move. Reading to attack.

As Takhisis raced to clash, she thought the same thought as 'Kaal. Light diminished Shadow. She shifted gears, calling away the shadows for a moment and calling light. Light erupted around her, a golden aura against her ebony form, ready to clash, ready to call the shadows back whenst the time came...She roared, her last note before she would clash...

..K.a.a.l..
.h.i.s.s.

The drake saw the dragoness attack the larger body, Takhisis of course. And leap forward at his chance. Talons raked forward, slicing at her maw. Aiming directly for her nose.

Small green brute hisses and scuttles away from the light. He didn't like Light. Yuck! His white gaze flickered to his mother, a growl edging in his throat at seeing her blood. Damn Shadows'. He was begining to really not like them. He wished he was bigger, so as to assist his mother, but he was not and couldn't change it. So he disappeared into the shadows, taking on his 2-D form with ease.....
