On the beach Scarloc awoke from the sound of shouting. It seemed someone was going to take the armour, but they caught the thief. The dragon stood up and yawned, as he looked around. He noticed the Adrian was walking towards him, and asked if he slept okay as he was back in his true form. Before he could answer, the wolf quickly asked him if he knew someone known as Whitefang.

The beast was surprised as the name the canine mentioned was familiar to him. "Yes. My mother and father mentioned someone called Whitefang before. He is another of my kind too, but I haven't seen him. My parents probably knew him, but I don't know if he still lives on this island." Scarloc looked out to the ocean. "Before most of Lynthior sank into the sea, many dragons had a choice in the battle. Some stayed to fight, while others flew away to find other areas to live."

Scarloc turned to face Adrian. "This Whitefang was probably one of the dragon's that left. Since I have lived on this island after the battle, I have never seen any other of my kind." He said. Although most of the time he was living as a hyena, so it could be possible that this beast the wolf mentioned, could still live on the now changed Lynthior.

It seemed Adrian might want to seek out this dragon, and Scarloc would be willing to help. Although he would need the wolf's assistance once again. "If you want to, we could look for this Whitefang. But first do you know if there are any mages here? As I was sleeping I heard a voice, I think it belonged to the hyena who I changed into. It said I ended his eternal rest, and that he fought for my kind."

Further down the beach. Angela and Nicole were standing in the sea, armed with spears. Simon was sat on a boulder nearby and John walked over to the fox. "What are they doing?" He said as he gestured to the two canines in the water.

The fox looked at the John and grinned. "I found those weapons in my hut, and when Angela saw them she suggested to go spear fishing." He then gestured to bucket on the sand. "We have caught a few, so there will be feast for dinner." He then looked to the jackal in the sea. "Then your wife came by saying she could catch more, so I gave her the weapon, but Nicole has not had much luck."

The jackal overheard her husband and the fox talking, along with John laughing. Nicole got angry and burned the spear to ash, with the blade falling into the sea accidentally hitting a fish. She picked up the blade and walked out of the sea. "Well at least I got one." The canine said as she took the fish of the blade and dropped it in the bucket.

"Huh!" The wolf wasn't sure whether he was thrilled or disappointed. One for the matter that this dragon might've been a friend and ally of his great old father which he had never heard off until now, second what if this was indeed the truth, abandoning everyone like a coward, as that what they are who ditched their home just to save their own scrawny hide. He wished the differ, but his thoughts disarrayed upon Scarloc question concerning a potential mage, and that for some reason he had heard this hyena's voice which he had been cursed with ever since the warrior who's name Lance was killed protecting what he believed in.

Three fingers held placed beneath his chin, humming literally as to find words, or plausible just remembering whether he knew indeed any magicians. In the end he simply shrugged his shoulders, "not that I can remember sorry my friend, but thanks for the information, I'm glad your willing to help, but at the moment I feel you have your own priorities, but anytime you need help, you just come and ask, I'll be there for you." Giving a heartfelt smile in return. as if grateful what they've accomplished together so far, it's only fair he'd return the jest.

"Ask around, maybe someone knows about a mage though." As much he'd be willing to offer further assistance, he was so thrilled in his own thoughts. Perhaps...!
That's preposterous but what if there is indeed something living inside the volcano, but after the major disturbance, you'd think that'd be a time to show your self.

His eyes wandering off toward the southern part of the encampment, several ones approaching, one he could barely make out as Ethan.
And there's no doubt when he also spotted the human female, he doesn't forget a face that quickly.
At first the situation was tense, but it was quickly redundant, as both sides have similar intentions, even if trust is hard to come by, they may just have use for whatever nowadays, seen as things are already boding into an civil war between those who reside on this island.

Time went by, conversations among the locals and the new arrivals. Also today's catch what Angela and Nicole had gathered, it may very well feed everyone's mouthful. Before such arrangements Adrian felt obligated to ask Tanya about what she knows about this dragon which these indigenous constantly seem to thrive about.
Well she had never, "no Sir. Wolf I can't say I have, they don't exactly go on about naming these creatures of legend..." That's when her jaws simply dropped, almost wanting to yell out, as if all this time she hadn't realized there was a dragon among them. Quite alarmed, but the situation seemed way comfy knowing what such a creature could actually do in a heartbeat, but here we are, everyone seemingly adjusted to Scarloc's majestic form.

It's not going to be easy finding more about this mysterious dragon which Adrian was now so desperate to find, he simply let down an rather disappointingly sigh. However that doesn't cover the fact he wished her welcome to stay, as everyone else who he had embraced, wandering around camp.
"Think it's time for food, wanna join me." She simply nodded, knowing that in the end, she would have to consider moving back. For one, she wasn't a fighter, and she had never had much desire in getting involved, she simply accompanied aiding those who needed help as well proving much a guide, knowing this island enough to know her way around. However it was quite fortune they'd end up at the right encampment, after all there are other factions ruling out on this island.

As the wolf said, the dragon walked around to look for someone who knew where he could find a mage. He headed over to the sea to talk with the jackal called Nicole, since she was in charge, she may know where to find someone who had magic. "Excuse me. Do you know where I can find a mage? When I was sleeping, there was a voice inside my head. And I thought someone with magic could get it out."

The jackal gestured to herself. "I'm a mage, I could help." She then gestured to the ground. "Lower your head and close your eyes, I will see what I can do, but I don't know if I can get the voice out."

Scarloc walked into the sea and stood in front of the jackal. He lowered his head and closed his eyes. He hoped with Nicole being a mage, she could get the voice to out.

The jackal put her hands on Scarloc's head and closed her eyes. It wasn't long until she found the voice, but it was more than that. It was a revived spirit trapped within the dragon. "Who is this?!" It said in a demanding tone.

The jackal was surprised that the spirit was talking to her, she thought it would only talk to Scarloc. "My name is Nicole. This dragon you currently reside in, wants you out. But first why are in you in this beast's head?"

The spirit began to get angry. "He is the reason I live in his mind. Many years ago this beast was being hunted, he found my lifeless body on the beach. He also found a magical gem I had. The power of that gem turned Scarloc into my form, so for sometime he could change from a dragon in to a hyena, but soon he couldn't change at will anymore, so he wanted to change back as he thought it was a curse. In the end he got his wish, with the help of a wolf called Adrian. He was his true self again, but he awakened me as he did. He awoke me from my eternal rest."

The spirit began to calm down as it realised what Scarloc did was good. "But this dragon has probably given me a second chance at life. A life I want to live as myself, and not within this ice breathing vessel."

Nicole was puzzled. She didn't know how the spirit would get to live as itself, but she feared it could take over someone else, probably even her. "How would you live one your own?" She said in a worrying tone.

The spirit knew of the mage's fear since they were talking to each other through their minds. "You or anyone else have nothing to worry about. I can't leave this dragon's head unless there was another gem, and the only body I can return to is my own. I think this beast lost the original gem, but there is another. Far to the south of this island is the desert and there is a pyramid, inside is an artefact a shield what belonged to a legendary warrior as well as the second gem. It is the same pyramid where I got the original gem from." The spirit sighed. "The only problem is that someone else will have to go, since this beast doesn't have a resistance to the high heat."

The spirit's voice faded and Nicole took her hands of the Scarloc's head, as she opened her eyes. The dragon opened his eyes too, and he wondered if the jackal got the voice to leave his head. "Did you get it out is the voice in my head gone?" But he saw the canine was unhappy at the question, so he guessed she failed.

The jackal looked up at the dragon. "It is not just a voice, it is the spirit of the hyena. I couldn't get it out. At first it sounded angry, but it told me what you must do. You used a gem that you found on the canine, what made you change into his form? Well there is another inside a pyramid, in the desert. But it also told me you will need help because of your weakness to the high heat."

The dragon nodded and looked back to the village and noticed there were new arrivals. He knew some of them, when he was in the form of a hyena, the cheetah and the other guards. There was a human woman among them, who was staring back at him. Scarloc walked ahead to look for someone who could help him. He thought his best bet was Adrian, as he assisted him once before.

Nicole walked out of the sea, and noticed the bucket was gone. She guessed Someone took it and cooked the fish, since most of residents and new arrivals where eating. She walked further into the village, and the fox handed her a plate of fish. He gestured to where John was sitting and the jackal sat at the same table her husband was sat at and started eating.

Warzak85DF > 11-06-2018, 12:52 PM

Excluding those taking care of guard duty, was everyone gathered around the center at camp. Each had it's share, but the fish wouldn't suffice for long. That's why some had volunteered going on out hunting for wild game. For the very first time, this was now a growing community preparing for what could possible be an ultimate clash.

Even if Seth had traveled for a few days, he felt more then happy delving into his hunting experience, it's one of those perks being a leopard, or any feline for that matter.
Before setting off, he had at least some time to adjust with each individual who was among them. A boost of confidence with a dragon in their midst, and the majority was trained well with ether a sword, bow or other accessory.

Tanya had stealthily her way around camp, until she was deliberately only a short distance from the beast. All this time, she had thought these creatures being extinct, but not anymore. She had to wonder, was this the one they had been worshiped after for so long?
Her courage got the better off her, walking in front of Scarloc.

"Excuse me oh wondrous beast, may I have a word with you?" Everything about him was like a fantasy. And those scales, their just reflecting so well in the water.
"I've lived on this island as long I can recall, and the people who took me in, has always had this tremendous desire reaching out for one such as you, but never had I imagined it was no more then idle rumors."
Wasn't sure if this dragon would answer her at all, she at least allowed him the courtesy giving him said chance at least.

If allowed to, "would it be to much asking whether you'd want to accompany me there, they would be overjoyed to see that all their efforts haven't been for nothing. Call it a favor, in return I'd do anything for you, and I'm sure more would do the same." Counting with the indigenous people of course.

At the table, Adrian was still seated, he was discussing with someone about various experiences both had shared, as if their genuine interest for each others adventure kept them staying long after lunch hours. Of course the occasional look around, whether potential interests occurred.
Taking note of the female human near the dragon, yet it was only natural everyone had an favouring interest.

Eventually both split apart each their own way, Adrian looking to check on John, in case he has something available needs tending, or whether the idea is to find a better location, as the beach is nice alright, but it ain't proof worthy against attacks.
"John!" As the distance between the two shortened, and merely drawing his attention.
"Just wanted to know, any plans as what need doing, or is this all temporary?" Foremost looking to volunteer help out seen as he can only do so much with just a few names to work with.

It's been days since the volcano has ruptured. While the indigenous had no high demands on re-establishing of their homes, rather as simple with a roof above their head was all that's necessary.
What's important to them was to continue their natural routine, wandering toward the top of the mountain, in hope that their so called god would soon answer. After all, they know nothing about the ice-draconian creature, nor what's to be found south. Instead they continuously believe that one of them still lives at the heart of the volcano.

That doesn't however nothing with their belief. And upon the 6th day, they had arrived once again. The air which was highly poisonous from all that sulfur, has finally subsided enough that you could breathe, while the effects may in the end prove life changing in the end, but that doesn't bother them the least.

A shocking discovery as one starts crying out for everyone to gather near his location. His hands all frantic trying to address what lies before them.
Quite the observant there's some animal carcasses, rather freshly picked clean. Not only that, a huge footprint.
"Draconian!" They all seemingly agreeing with each other, but the bridge has collapsed, possible exited on the other side. No more chanting, their tremendous desire leaves them desperate fixing the bridge, and so an immense project begins. With combined efforts and sufficient tools available they finishes in merely a few hours.

And so, one after another they cross the big gap, looking for more evidence that something has recently been visiting. Question however if it's airborne, the chance of uncovering the guilty animal butcher was likely not going to happen.
Upon reaching the exit, the plateau has also been destroyed. With no rope available, they could do little finding their way down. It was a hopeless cause. Disappointed they all turned heel and wandered back. At last notice, one of them decides two should remain in case it would return, perhaps this is it home, and thus it may come back. They all agree upon the matter, promising they would bring food and drink before leaving to their homes.

Since mostly everyone was having their dinner. Scarloc decided to head back to the dunes, and wait until some would assist him get rid of spirit inside him. Although before he headed back, a human woman walked up to him and explained that others would like to see him, and she would owe him a favour in return. The dragon thought about who these others would be. It seemed they could be descendants of the new inhabitants that came to Lynthior many years ago. "Okay I will go back to see these folks, but first is there any warriors there, that could help with me something? In the desert far south of the island there is a gem in a pyramid. I need that gem, but I can't resist the heat there." The beast looked around the village. "You may need to bring some others, at least two. I'm not carrying more than three of you on my back."

Upon overhearing the conversation between the Scarloc and the human woman. Angela walked in and stood to the dragon's side, and looked up to his head. "If you are in the need of assistance, I can help." The coyote said with confidence, as she folded her arms. "But why do you need this gem anyway?"

The beast lowered his head towards the coyote. "I need the gem to get a spirit out of me. Your friend's Adrian and Nicole know that I used to have another form as a hyena. For many years I used that form to hide from hunters, who wanted the dragons gone. But that canine form was from a dead a warrior, and since your wolf friend helped me regain my true form, it's spirit was revived within me." Scarloc looked to the human woman. "The spirit wants it's body back, and that gem will be needed. I will explain more when we get to the others you mentioned.

Angela climbed up and sat on the dragon's back. She looked at the village and waited to see if anyone else were going to join her and the human woman Tanya. If not, she guessed Scarloc would just fly to where these others, she overheard were.

~~~

As John was sat at the table looking at the sea. Adrian walked over and asked if there were any favours that needed doing. Also he asked if they were staying at the beach. "Some of us will be. Since I can't go into battle anymore and Nicole isn't much of a fighter, we will be staying here. As for Simon, Tom and Angela I don't know." The jackal looked to the south of the village. "Many of the archers along with Ethan and his guards will be fighting, I assume you will be too."

The jackal looked to the huts and gestured to one with two torches lit by the door. "You can do me a favour. When Nicole and the villagers arrived here, they found an unconscious lion. We don't know his name, but the former residents of this village turned on him. I need you to wake him up, as we maybe fighting more than just Edward and his guards." The canine didn't know if the former residents of the beach village were working with the enemy, or were they going to be trouble in the future?
RE: Cast Ashore

Warzak85DF > 11-17-2018, 05:31 AM

At first he wasn't sure how he'd make a difference making someone awaken from unconcious. Thus he felt the task at hand was something suitable for someone else. Yet if that's what he want, then he shall comply. "As you wish John." Without further ado, with the task at hand, he didn't waste any time wandering across toward the other hut. Yet he couldn't avert watching both Angela and Tanya discussing with Scarloc. Perhaps he's found a reason after consulting with Nicole the mage. Decided that he'd better check on the matter, as the lion would surely not awaken by his own accord anytime soon... right?

"Ho there, what's going on?"

All three told him about the mission at hand, and that they where going south. Adrian felt obliged, folding his arms, "I'll be coming with you, but can you give me few more minutes, as I need to attend something at camp before we move?" Well the request was more in generally leaned toward Scarloc, knowing he'd rather carry on swiftly, then delay the inevitable.

Quickening his steps as he made his way toward the hut with the two torches, pushing the tent entrance aside, finding the lion still in bed. "Hey wake up..." Increasing in altitude the second time he repeated those words. With no sign whatsoever, he took a hold around both the feline shoulders, shaking abruptly, until the sudden eye flick, with both suddenly having a staring contest between the lion and wolf.
Shortly after removing his hands, Adrian took a moment considering his words careful, while the lion literally uttered out a few words.

"Where am I?"

Stumbling literally with his own words, "you needn't know."
With a short pause. "Rather tell us what you know about Edward, and whether your initial crew are aligned with that fox."

No shortage of compliance at least from the lion, but sadly what little information there's to be give, didn't exactly provide a solution as to their whereabouts, or any other Intel which may have proved useful. Before leaving, he made sure the lion was to be fed and given water.
Making his way across toward John, he quickly informed him about the shortage of information that this lion had been able to provide, rather then he had no more desire working under such evil.

Before departing, he made sure telling him about their mission, so he wouldn't question their loyalty for abandoning the encampment.
Returning to where he assumed Scarloc and the girls were situated. Taking what few provisions they could use, and his newly acquired weapon. Wasn't long after that they all took toward the air. This was all fantasy for the girls surely, but it's happening, and whether scared or thrilled, the experience was one of a kind.

Walking there would had taken them more then a day, but from a dragon's perspective they reached the indigenous people in due time.
Shock and awe as they witnessed something they had wished for since their ancestors lived on the island. Tanya rest assured Scarloc they wouldn't do nothing but curiously admire him from all angles.

"Heus esse." Quickly taking the word from her mouth as the leader him self arrived at the scene.

Quickly ushering all of his men to bow down. They of course believed this being the same who had abandoned the carcass back at the volcano.
Even the dragon must feel good about him self, with so many admirers flocking toward his grace. As that's what they are in the human eyes. A God in his own celestial right.

"Tibi gratias ago pro signo."

"What sign?" She clearly had no idea what they were on about.

The man who addressed the situation told them about the animal corpse which littered the volcano site. As if that makes much a difference, but it does for them.
Of course the ridiculous thing they could muster was that they had brought down the dead carcass, "Is this yours?" they asked the dragon. Perhaps much to his surprise, Scarloc wouldn't have any difficulties understanding the language of Latin, as it's all formulated in the tongue he knows. Of course he hadn't said a word, they hadn't the slightest idea he could talk.
RE: Cast Ashore

Zamau > 11-20-2018, 01:27 PM

As Adrian came back. Angela climbed up on the dragon as he told the wolf about the mission. The coyote sat holding on to Scarloc's neck, wondering how long the journey would be to Tanya's tribe. The canine was nervous about flying, since she was afraid of heights. But it seemed the beast taking them there, was the fastest way. So she tried to hide her fear from the others.

Once Adrian and Tanya were onboard, the dragon took to the sky. What could of took them days to get to the human's tribe. if they walked. Scarloc got them there within minutes.

Angela climbed down from the beast and was relieved to be standing on the ground again. once she was on the ground, she noticed many from the tribe had surrounded them and started bowing. The coyote looked back at the dragon, then back at the tribe and wondered if they saw Scarloc as a deity.

One of the tribesmen brought a dead animal carcass to the beast, asking if it was his. Scarloc looked at the corpse then at the tribesman. "What is the meaning of this?" He glanced at the tribe who were bowing. "Stop this at once. I am not your master, you don't have to bow to me. My kind have been gone from this land for a long time, if your leader was a dragon it is not me, but he may return."

Scarloc looked at the human woman then to the rest of the tribe. "Your friend Tanya suggested I come here, in return I ask for your assistance. There is a spirit inside me, and what I need is gem. This gem is inside a pyramid in the desert to the far south of the island. I can fly three of you near there, but I can't fly into the desert. Many dragons breathe fire and I breath ice, so because of that I cant resist the hot climate." The beast looked at Adrian and Angela, then looked back to the tribe. "I guess I already have two who will help me, but another one could help to. The desert can be dangerous, so you have a choice to assist me or not."

The beast needed that gem, but he would understand if anyone in the tribe would chose not to go. He didn't know if anyone here has been to the desert before, he wondered if Adrian and Angela might back out to help him too.

~~~

Back at the beach village. The lion who Adrian woke up, walked out of his hut. Outside he saw two jackals sitting at a table and walked over to them.

Nicole saw the lion an smiled. "Well you're finally awake. Are you okay?" She said, as she gestured at chair at the table.

The lion sat down at the table and yawned. "Yes your wolf friend woke me up, he also left me some food too." He said as he looked around for the canine.

"Adrian told me he didn't get much information from you before he left with two others and a dragon. John said as he gestured to the entrance of the village. He then looked at the lion. "My wife found you unconscious in this village. Who are you and what happened here?"

The lion looked worried. "My name is David. Did you say that this Adrian left with a Dragon?" The feline looked at the huts. "One of the resident's turned on me. His name is Scott, and one of those flying beast's helped him. He got all the villagers to turn on me, saying they would gain power by serving him. They all left me alone soon after."

The cat then looked to John. "This beast who left with the wolf. Was it red?" He said in a worrying tone as he thought it could be the dragon who helped Scott.

John was surprised to hear, that the beast what helped the former villagers turn on David, was the same one, he and Angela saw at the pyramid in the mountains. The jackal shook his head to the lion's question. "The dragon who left with Adrian is grey. His name is Scarloc." The canine looked to the sky and hoped the wolf, coyote and human would be okay, since there is another flying beast out there and is seems there are more enemies other than Edward and his guards.
RE: Cast Ashore

Warzak85DF > 11-22-2018, 11:24 AM

A sudden awe as the creature naturally could speak.
Dropping the carcass, they immediately took upon it's request. Their leader made a short stroll toward his temporary hub, in his hand upon return, he held a book, seemingly ancient by it's cover. The title says "Legend of the Forefathers" handing it toward Tanya, who carefully took note of the first inscription that followed.
"Artifacts said to unleash certain spiritual creations can be found at the southern shores. However there's one important detail which these items don't show. Is that to release something which has already fallen, a sacrifice must be made."
Upon reading those few words, she knew this wouldn't be simply any treasure hunt, but one of them wouldn't return.

Looking to the leader, she looked concerned. "Quid sibi vult hoc exstat. Nonne est alius solutions", ("What's the meaning of this. Aren't there no other solutions.")
They both had a look at what it said, before looking dismissively toward the dragon.
"Apparently no. You still wanna go through with this?" Tanya wondered. Well it's obvious she didn't know the consequences walking with a spirit who's condition could much worsen as time goes. It's a risk perhaps not worth taking, but it's still a strong point to consider before leaving out on this journey.

Adrian had all this time concentrated on something entirely different, not out of disinterest but out of curiosity for whoever had filled whatever animal content. He thought only of what said information was on his sword.
Sliding down from the dragon's back, if only for a minute, he walked up to the leader, who's attention was of course elsewhere, meaning Scarloc.

"Tanya, may I ask if you could help me with something here?"
At first she wasn't sure what to respond with, thinking this better wait. But out of courtesy allowing their winged friend consider their next move, she took heeding of the wolf's request.
"Thanks...!" Wasn't sure what this was all about, but then she realized.

"You want to know about whether anyone has heard of ether your forefather or this dragon, am I right?" With a single nod in return, she looked to the second in command, knowing that the leader had no other concern then the dragon which is in place at this moment.
"Hoc nomine enim dicit aliquid ad te?", ("This name, does it say anything to you?")
Referring to both names imprinted on the sword which the wolf was carrying.

Baffled he urged to have a second look at a closer inspection if allowed too. Adrian wasn't exactly protective so handing out his sword without questioning wasn't to bad, after all he sought answers very much like his airborne friend.
"Come wolf-man." Surprised he knew their natural tongue, he accompanied the human toward what seemed like an altar at the center of camp.

At the same time, Tanya had returned her attention toward Scarloc, she wished there was some other answers about these gems, but it's obvious the solution comes with an unwanted bitter taste on her mouth.

The wolf looked at the man in action, as he literally attached the sword in what seemingly fit perfect with the shape on the stone. At first he tried to reach out for the weapon, as if unsure about what he tried to accomplish.
What felt like an eternity, the conclusion was that a short emitting glow transcended across the dead object.
A flash of imagery almost like a scenic theater show, it showed something the wolf could see, but him alone.

In front of him was looked like his own father, but the fancy jewelry, and explicit decorations upon the clothes had all been replaced by a wittered black man-suit.
"Hello Adrian... I knew you would one day stumble upon my sword, and for that I concur, you did good, abandoning your loyalties unlike my son, and so forth after his."
Adrian him self wasn't sure how to process what he was witnessing, nor could he fathom how his name was known, when he wasn't even considered at that time. Surely this is just a mere coincidence. He was sorely mistaken however, as this wasn't just images, but the one before him was indeed his great-great-great-father in the flesh, but in a spiritual commodity.
"You must have questions I'm sure, but let it know, I have little time to spare, and thus allow me to finish." A faint smile crossed his muzzle, upon receiving Adrian's acceptance. "You must find my companion, he is old, but compared to me, he doesn't age as well like we do." Faintly chuckling at his own impersonation of what their kind is compared to the ordinary living.
"I'm sure you've discovered his name by now. All you need is, locate my burial site, there upon the crystallized altar, chant his name three times, and let the magic flow."

A questioning expression filled the wolf's face, as he was already questing, now he needed to find the location of his great old father's tomb.
Fortunate, this wasn't the last. "Before I shall depart, know this that upon seeking out my old soulmate and friend, you may never return, so consider this carefully, as you and him have what it takes, but no matter your decision, I know you'll do the right thing... I wish I had lived in a different time and in other conditions, but unfortunate that's not the case, and thus I shall never be allowed to teach you a thing or two when the time comes. All I can do is give you a fair warning, this being doesn't trust anyone unless proven righteous. Also, if you don't mind, wish him good fortune from me, won't you."
At this time, the faint imagery only proved weaker as each second passed. He knew this would soon dissipate into nothing, but he had no idea as to where this burial ground is, and knowing the island's extent, chances on finding it on foot is equals none.

"Goodbye Adrian, I trust that you'll do the right thing."

"But.. but where am I to look?" Unfortunate time wasn't meant for further questions, none in fact, all he knew is that he now had a sole purpose, in which he would never be allowed to leave this island, unless ignoring his plight.. But he ain't his father, he couldn't care less for luxury and titles. If he can successfully adjourn his duties as royalty then so be it. Only problem is, he's not sure where to start looking.

The human looked concerned as if the world has seen a ghost.
"You okay there wolf-man." Which in return, Adrian was expressionless.
At least he retrieved his sword, before both parts made it back. As much he felt a big responsibility finding this creature, who he assume is like the legend says, a dragon of great personality. He wasn't going to turn down on his friend, who's helped him thus far uncovering the sword.

"So what has been decided my friend. Are we on route south?" The wolf asked.
RE: Cast Ashore

Zamau > 11-27-2018, 12:55 PM

Angela didn't like the sound of what Tanya read. If the dragon wanted that spirit out, someone would have to give up their live. The coyote didn't want anyone to die, so this spirit could be free. She looked up at Scarloc and guessed he wouldn't want that either.

Scarloc started to get angry after hearing what could happen if he got the spirit out. "This is unacceptable!" He shouted. "I want that spirit out, but not a cost of someone else's live. There has got to be another way." The dragon said as he calmed down. The beast didn't want anyone to die for him otherwise he would be no better than the new inhabitants who fought against his kind.

Angela, Scarloc and Tanya stayed back, as Adrian went with the tribesmen to the centre of the tribe village. The coyote saw they were heading to an alter, and the wolf placed a sword in stone.

The coyote looked up at the dragon who was unhappy because of what must be done to get the spirit out of him. She hoped there was another way, but so far they knew the only way was what they were told. It wasn't going have a good outcome, so she hoped there would be another way. Angela turned her attention to the alter and sword Adrian had. "Do you know what they are doing?"

Scarloc glanced at the coyote. "I have no idea. But I think it might have something to do with that sword. It has names on the blade one of them is familiar to Adrain. Before we left the village he told me if I recognize the names, which I do. One of them belongs to a dragon and I guess the other belongs to an ancestor of his."

Angela remembered back to when Adrian mentioned he seemed to have a connection to this island. Maybe he did have some ancestors who used to live here, but so far the only knowledge seemed to be is a name on a sword. Maybe his ancestor who that sword belonged to, probably used to visit this island and lost the weapon.
The coyote noticed the wolf walking back, so she climbed up onto the dragon's back.

Scarloc gestured to his back after Adrian mentioned about heading to the south. Once the wolf and human got onboard, the dragon flew up to the sky once again. When the beast was in the air he could see the desert in the distance, he could also faintly see the pyramid. The beast flew down to the forest outside the desert, as he could feel the warm heat. He landed on a ground near a lake, and gestured for the two canines and Tanya to get off.

Angela climbed down and looked up at the Scarloc. "So are you going to be waiting here while head into the desert to find this gem you need?" She said as she gestured to the trees.

The dragon nodded. "Yes I will be, but you, Adrian and the human won't be heading there now." Scarloc looked at the dunes beyond the trees. "The desert is large, and with how long we were at the tribe village, you won't make it to the pyramid before nightfall." The beast looked back to the coyote. "What I suggest you two should do, is go at dawn. The heat might be not as hot then."

Angela nodded, agreeing to go through the desert the next day in the morning. She walked over to Adrian, and remembered when he headed to that alter in the tribe village. "Back when Tanya took you to that alter what was that about? I was waiting with Scarloc and he told me about the sword what had some names you recognize." This was none of the her business, so she would understand if he didn't want to tell her.

((Note to you Sir. I used one of the indigenous men showing Adrian the altar, Tanya was all this time residing nearby Angela and Scarloc. Also was planning to come along with Tanya as well, so if you can manage to make a few edits, I'll carry on. Otherwise it'll look weird that's all. ^_^))

The journey lasted but half an hour. It's incredible how fast they can maneuver in the blink of mere minutes from place to another. Yet the warmth suggested they would have to traverse last couple of miles on foot, considering their draconian's weakness toward exceptional heat.
Sliding down by the dragon's thigh, Adrian took a moment embracing the nature that surfaced around them. The water that flow nearby was as refreshing like a hot bath, in fact it had been ages since he had a good one.

Before he could wander off, Angela curious as she had been, wondered about his magical experience with his old-old grandfather, which of course only he had been able to see, but he wouldn't blame her for wanting to know. And as far he could tell, she was trustworthy enough, same with Scarloc and maybe even the human female, after all she had been mostly kind towards them ever since they first arrived into the indigenous village.

"I'm not sure you would believe me." Adrian first acknowledged her question, then adding, "can you imagine ever seeing a portrayal image of someone which is there, but not in any physical form?"
It wasn't important whether she would say yay or nay, but perhaps he hadn't lost her completely yet for thinking him a total nutcase.
Allowing her a chance to answer, whether it was silent or vocally, didn't matter as he carried on, looking as birds passing from one tree to another.
"Well anyhow, it was a message, even if it was as clear like him being there right in front of me.. my great-great old grandfather that is, Valiant." Closely inspecting his sword, wanting to include her in this as much for sating her curiosity. "Well he said something about finding his burial site, there I should call upon what I'm assuming is a dragon, from Scarloc's knowledge three times, and he should appear if it's any true too what he said to me. And that's all, really, I have no idea where to start looking, as the translucent image was by that time already dissipating." It was tougher then he'd expect telling her, almost difficult holding a tear from breaching down his hairy cheek.
However after already showing enough weakness, it's about time he prove them he's different.

The human took the opportunity setting up camp, or at least find some branches in the wood, which can be used for cooking something which she had brought along for their journey.
She wasn't long gone, finding plenty of loose strings nearby, the water nowhere near as cold like on the other side of the island. Strange isn't it? With so many different climates on an rather small scaled island, all things considered.

Her eyes allocated something in the distance.. "What's that?" Whether the draconian ally had better visual of what looked like sticks with heads scalped on top.
Perhaps a warning? She didn't think of it as much, but if they could get a certain confirmation from Scarloc, maybe they should be aware this isn't just any walk in the park, but dangers ahead threatening anyone daring to get close to the pyramid.

Out from her backpack, she pulled out two steaks which the people had offered, along with some vegetables and fruit gathered nearby. Immediately starting to prepare for some supper, as they'd likely have to get an early night, getting up early the very next morning.
