Seh'lvah had spent ages talking to Veraxitoc about the issues of modern dragons, and how they were bitter between species because of the Dragon Rider Wars. He had lived through it apparently. And he had only just woken up! He was scarily old. And he didn't think like most dragons from then did. He was different. Like her, he wanted peace, and equality.

So between them, they had agreed to try and start a colony. The Colony. The Colony, the group they hoped all dragons would come to live under one day. To make their lives better, not worse. To improve the fragile relationship with the Human Nations, who thought they were  monsters.

She had found this beautiful valley in the Terrin Mountains, with caves and grass, and livestock, and everything. A perfect place for dragons. They could live peacefully. It would be nice when it was up and going. Dragons could socialise here, and talk, and be friendly. Hell, maybe the boy of her dreams would meet her here. Give her a first kiss under the moonlit valley. Mate in the cool shade of the caves. Settle down with kids. She would never need to go back to her own colony.

In absent daydream she sat, kissing the air, her eyes shut, whispering things in dragon whispers. Of course anyone who walked by would hear her. But she didn't know the daydream was putting her in that position, she was just there, in her personal heaven.

Klezmer Gryphon

Shamgar flew along on his weary, feathered wings. Having been flying for the majority of the day, he felt the need to stop and rest. As the weary gryphon flew, he saw a clearing, a green valley, full of caves. Hoping that they weren't occupied, he landed outside one of the caves.

Before he could step inside, something came drifting into his sensitive ears. Intrigued, he followed the sounds for a solid few minutes, eventually coming upon a female dragon, who seemed to be off in her own world. Having heard stories of these creatures, Shamgar, having hid behind a boulder, tried slipping away, but the poor gryphon's paw got caught, and he fell to the ground, his ankle twisting with a horrid popping noise.

He couldn't help but screech in pain.

Brisinger987

The screech broke her daydream, and she scanned the area. From behind a nearby boulder, giant grey wings were visible. She got up to investigate, not knowing that the other creature was injured, she stretched her legs before trudging over to the creature.

When she was in loud speaking distance, she began her little rant.

"You know, it's rude to spy on people, and to wake them up mid dream. And it is creepy to watch people while they sleep. Cause by that I would guess you were some pervert who got a kick from watching sleeping dragons!" Her voice was raised so that any other dodgy figures heard her too. "I eat perverts."

Klezmer Gryphon

Shamgar's mind was in a frenzy. First, he had an injured leg, and second, he had an angry dragon threatening to eat him; this wasn't a good day. He wanted to look up and meet the dragon's eyes, to apologize, and say it was a misunderstanding, but he couldn't. He was in too much pain, and too ashamed to even look at the dragon who was yelling at him; he started crying. He just buried his head under his talons and started sobbing, partly from the pain, but mostly from is dragon who was scowling him.

"I-Im s-s-sorry....." were the only two words he could say through his sobbing.

Brisinger987

Was this gryphon seriously crying?! Seh'lvah couldn't bear seeing others crying. It made her cry.

"No... No... D-d-don't cry! P-p-please don't cry! I-I-I-I didn't mean to! I'm sorry..." He walked over to him tears welling in her eyes, and she made a final beg before guilt overcame her. "P-please?"

Then she broke, and began to cry herself. She buried her face under her paws. She felt guilty, cause this gryphon was crying cause she had been grumpy...

Klezmer Gryphon

Shamgar was upset, and afraid. He peered out from under his talons when he heard the dragon say she was sorry, begging him to stop crying, but he couldn't control himself. He just kept crying. Although, he wasn't as much afraid of this dragon in front of him anymore as he was other dragons who might not be as kind.

Then there was his leg, which, in getting caught in a small crevice, had caused the whole incident. He blamed himself for getting into this mess, and, as upset as he was, tried getting his leg out, which lead to not only intense pain shooting up his leg, but also another loud screech. He then just gave up, he was hopeless...

Brisinger987

She stopped crying when he screeched in pain. His leg was caught.

She looked at the crevice, and then thought of what to try. "This is gonna be REALLY gross, but it may work." And with that, she summoned a load of saliva, and dripped it into the crevice, and helped him with his paw, but it didn't look like it worked.

Now he had a drool covered paw that was caught...

Klezmer Gryphon

While his leg was still stuck, the saliva, however gross he thought it felt, did help relieve some pain. Eewwww.... Well, at least it doesn't hurt as bad. he mused, reflecting on his peculiar situation.

Seeing on how just pushing himself up wouldn't get his leg unstuck, he had an idea.....

Flapping his feathery wings, he tried taking off. I sure hope this works....

He clenched his beak shut as pain rippled up and down his leg, tears starting to well in his eyes. After a few tries, his leg came free with another, sinister CRACK!

This lead to an even louder screech. His leg was broken. Free, but broken.

Brisinger987

Oh god! She could tell his leg was broken, and she had no idea what to do. That was when Veraxitoc arrived.

A pure stroke of luck and good fortune. He surely knew how to do broken bones. Surely.

-------

Veraxitoc glided to the valley with an unusual grace. The gryphon was screaming but he could wait.

"What have you done little Gryphon? Seh'lvah." He nodded to Seh'lvah.

Klezmer Gryphon

Shamgar was in pain, and both dragons could see it on his face. When he finally stopped screeching, he tried to stand, but couldn't balance on three legs, so he he just layed on the ground.

While he wasn't screeching, he was still in a lot of pain, and couldn't really bring himself to speak. So, using his talons, he scratched his name into the dirt, and had an arrow pointing towards himself. Hopefully, the dragons would know what he meant.

Brisinger987

Veraxitoc looked at both of them, Shamgar and Seh'lvah. They both had fresh tears on their face. If they started crying again he was doomed. He couldn't stand crying. He hated it. Two of them would be hell. Hell so bad he might actually strangle one of them. Probably Seh'lvah.

"Ah, a break. Shamgar, this will hurt, but it is the only piece of healing magic I know." Delicately, trying to cause as little pain as possible, he pressed on the break, lining it up. That would be the painless part. The healing would hurt more.

He spoke the incantation and breathed on where the break was.

Klezmer Gryphon

Shamgar cringed while Veraxitoc worked his magic. It hurt, but at the same time, it was relief. After the dragon had finished, he stood ever so carefully, nervous that his leg would give.

Walking around a little bit, he decided it might be a good idea to explain to the elder dragon what had happened. Nervous as he was, he started telling in detail what had taken place, from him just landing at one of the caves, to his leg getting caught in the crevice.

Brisinger987

Seh'lvah was outraged. "So you WERE watching me sleep! Are you some sort of weird person with a dragon fetish?!" She blushed at the explanation Shamgar had given. She hadn't fantasised. He had interrupted her before she had started fantasising...

Veraxitoc meanwhile had actually tuned out, and turned when Seh'lvah begn accusing the Gryphon of things. He hoped this wasn't why they had started crying the first time.

Klezmer Gryphon

"I don't have a dragon fetish. I get a little too curious, that's all," he replied. He was blushing, but not as much as Seh'lvah. Indeed he was watching her sleep, but it wasn't intentional. He was just following the sounds he heard.

"And, I was just leaving when my foot got caught, and caused this whole mess". He added, flaring his wings to make his point.

Brisinger987

"It's still creepy..." Seh'lvah added. In some respects the boy was cute. He was creepy but cute, and he seemed nice. But she had made a point earlier and she wouldn't drop it just cause his leg got broken.

"And besides, it's not like I was doing anything really weird..." She had been planning to had the interruption not happened but she left that part out. She just didn't want to lose the argument.

Klezmer Gryphon

"Really? Like kissing the air?" Shamgar retorted, as he had seen that much. He found Seh'vahl to be pretty for a dragon, and nice, but he still was a little wary of the fact that she threatened to eat him.

"Then again... Daydreaming does do strange things to people..." He said, laughing at himself. He sometimes talked to his tools, but only when he was really bored....

Brisinger987

Seh'lvah blushed, out of embarrassment and anger. He did NOT just pull that card.... "I wasn't kissing the air... I breathe weirdly when I am asleep..." The defence was a poor one, and she had nothing on him to make  him embarrassed.

"Well Shamgar, my question is, why are you in this valley? We are here scouting out a good nesting place for our Colony to start, we just need more people." Veraxitoc said, sitting down on a patch of grass. The Gryphon boy was nice, and in Veraxitoc's eyes, he looked to be flirting with Seh'lvah, but Veraxitoc could bring that up with Seh'lvah later.

Klezmer Gryphon

Shamgar's ears perked up at the question. He had only stopped in this valley to rest, but he now felt there was something else that called him here.

"Sir," he said, bowing respectfully, his goggles falling down in his face, "I only stopped here to rest. But, I feel there was something more than just a need to rest that brought me here..."

Brisinger987

"You think fate brought you here? There is no such thing as fate! If there was fate, it would have given me a boyfriend..." Seh'lvah smirked, finally finding an upper hand. Although, she couldn't stop thinking about how cute he was, and how nice he actually seemed. She wanted to get to know him.

"Seh'lvah, don't be so quick to disown fate. I have seen things that have lead me to believe in fate, even if I don't believe in gods." Veraxitoc scolded her. She was being silly, and immature.

Klezmer Gryphon

Shamgar could help but laugh to himself. Seh'lvah was pretty, and seemed nice, but she was also quick to jump to conclusions. However, there seemed to be something tugging deep within him, something that was disturbing him....

"Veraxitoc," he said, holding back the sudden urge to cry, "May I speak with you in private?"

He felt he need to get something off his chest. He needed someone to talk to....
