Tiekia:(human)

Tiekia sat in a room with many of the dragon hunters. She was the youngests of 40 men not to mention she was a girl. She leaned back in her chair cautiously fidiling with her Sword with a dragon shieth. One of the men stood up and walked out of the room and it caught her attetion. "Ok now Tiekia I leave this to you...!Said the man who left. Tiekia Looked puzzled and sat up straight.

"Of coarse you wernt listening...your going to dragon headquarters were they keep the trapped and injured dragons you will help keep them intact...is that a problem?" said the General. She paued and put her sharp sword into her shieth and got to her feet. She then walked passed him and went to the teleporting room, She walked in and shut the door and smirked at the General.

She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes. She begain to fall asleep and had a dream.

It started when she was about 5 when she was outside with her family(older brother dad and mom) gardening in the yard. It got quiet and then out of no were a huge Dragon about fully grown came and landed right behind then. Before they could look back they heard a loud scream from her brother. The dragon had struck him down. Teikia's mom lifted her up and ran into the house. They heard the dragon rawr and then her father choke and a thump. Teikias mom held her close to her chest as tears rolled down her face. Finally it got quet when the house fell down and collapsed, Teikia's Mom was killed by the colapse. The dragon got ready to strike Teikia down when the general came in and pulled her away. They had a giant fight and the dragon lost. After that she spent her life killing dragons for revenge...the dragon gave her one last scar on her arm.....

Teikia woke up from a sharp pain in her arm and then herd a ding, she opened the door and left. She walked down a hallway and looked around she went by a door and knocked on the injured dragons room..
"Hello? Who is in here?"

Celeste

"I'm fine," she said, still staring at the dragon and the mouse."How are you? I heard they didn't take you along on the hunt. Thur was talking about it...."

"No. They didn't," said Miracle, "if they had a choice, they wouldn't let me know about any of them," she finished, bitterly.

There was a pause, then Celeste said, "What do you think's going on? Ever sinse that white dragon came, everyone's been acting really odd."

Miracle looked at the withered dragon and said, "Well... it's just that nobody's seen one in many, many years..."

Celeste looked at the white dragon in her mind's eye. What happens if they kill the white dragon, then?

She heard a sharp knock at the door and Miracle and Celeste both turned as somebody on the other side said, "Hello? Who's in there?"

-Kweraan-

Kweraan was annoyed. First there had been what he had assumed was his own imagination making up voices, but the sharp bite on his foot told him otherwise. The mouse had been trying to speak to him. And the news it bore was both fantastic and horrifying. The dragon on the other side of the wall was a white dragon. She should not be here, she was far too important to be in human captivity.
For once, Kweraan spared a brief glance at the two humans who were lingering around in his room. A curious mood had come to the facility, and it had been herladed by the arrival of the little white. He had to act, but how. He needed human help. Kwerann felt that he could trust the two humans with him the most, they had been around for a long time, and they treated him with respect at least. A third human entered the room, one who Kweraan did not trust at all. He could smell death on her, the blood of innocent dragons slaughtered.
Barging the latest arrival out the door again, Kweraan slammed the door shut and planted himself infront of it, so that no one would be able to open it again.
To the two humans' great shock, he turned to them and spoke, "We need to talk. I need to get out of here, with the little white. And you will help me."

Celeste

Celeste looked at the towering dragon and it dawned on her how magnificent he really was. She stood rooted to the spot. The millions of midnight blue scales glistened in the dim light of the room and his injuries seemed to diminish under the glare of his topaz eyes.
And to think she felt sorry for this creature!
All this seemed to sink to a lower part of her mind as the dragon continued to speak about what she had been wondering all along.
"This white dragon..."

Miracle

Miracle had watched the great dragon throw the newcomer out and close the door. Her hand immediately went to the dagger at her side in case this dragon decided the meat was not enough to settle his appetite. Celeste was beside her looking breathless and in awe at the same time. The dragon turned to them both and Miracle stood prepared to face anything the dragon tried. That was of course until it spoke, her hand immediately left the dagger and fell to her side.
"Why have you never asked before this time?" Miracled asked.

Cindallia~

Cindallia couldn't believe it. It actually worked! The most she was really hoping for was some acknowledgment. But that Kweraan actually listened to her!

"She's White," was all the little mouse needed to say--Cindallia knew that Kweraan would know the rest.

When she finished her sentence, another woman joined the group of humans. But this woman was not welcome, and every being in the room knew that. Cindallia watched in awe as the crippled dragon shoved her back out of the room. The captives here normally didn't get to choose their guests.

But nothing could describe her shock at what happened next.

"We need to talk. I need to get out of here, with the little white. And you will help me," the words had come out of Kweraan's mouth. And they weren't aimed towards Cindallia, but at the two human females.

~Aeronwen~

The little dragon picked her head up off her front claws and tried to see through the crack, something was going on in the other cell, and she wanted to know what.
There was a feeling of evil, of unhappiness, of death and she felt like cowering or running, but the trouble was that she couldn't tell where it was coming from.
She could hear the dragon talking in the other cell, and she could catch some of their thoughts.
"Move back," came a thought, aimed at her but without as much force or skill as she was used to. She stumbled backwards, wondering what was going on, but she didn't have to wonder for long.
There came a deep gouging sound, and the crack began to crumble, to open up wider and wider. She could see the midnight blue claws digging away and she rushed forwards to help from her side. When the whole was bigger, they stopped, and she saw the face of her friend in this nightmare of a place.
It could only be Kweraan.
"We need to be leaving, little white." It took her a moment to realize that he meant her, and she squeezed through the hole, ready to follow, ready to leave this place behind and forget about it, so it would remain in her deepest, least visited memories only.

-Kweraan-

"Why have I never asked you before?" Kweraan said in reply to one of the humans as he watched the little white force her way through the small gap he had made. "There was never any real need. Now the situation is dire for my people. I need to get Little White away from here, now."
"What's the quickest way out of here?" Kweraan eyed door the humans used with apprehension; he would never fit through there, not without ripping down most of the wall. He had never left his room, not since he had been brought in here, and he was to absorbed by pain to pay too much attention to the route they took then.
"Little mouse, I'll need you to be on the lookout for danger. And you two," Kweraan said, meaning the two humans who gazed on as if shell-shocked, "will guide us out. Little White, stay close to me. If anything should happen, you are the more important, you must escape. Don't come back for me should I be left behind. Understand?"

"Then let's go."

Celeste

Celeste heard the instructions and intended to follow them.
Then, the sound of angry yelling came from outside the doors.
Tiekia must have told the other hunters that Kweraan was doing something odd. Now, they were coming to see what had happened.
Celeste and Miracle were going to lead them through the main building and out, which was the simplest (and largest) path other than the small door that they had come through.
Celeste turned to Miracle to find her thinking hard, and Celeste turned to the dragons, the white one worried for more reasons then the yelling, and the older one quite calm despite.
"We have to find another way. They'll be all around us."
Miracle turned sharply and meaninffully to Celeste, "The only way out is up."
Celeste looked towards the ceiling, to Kweraan, then back to the ceiling.

Miracle

Miracle watched the beautiful white dragon squeeze its way through the crack, she listened to the old dragon understanding his reasoning for not speaking out before. She heard the sound of the other hunters making their way towards the domes. It was here and now she chose her side, stay with the hunters or help these innocent creatures.
"Can you fly, dragon?" Miracle asked, she looked up to the ceiling knowing it was the weakest point of the dome.
"If it is the only way," the dragon answered.
"Everyone stand back, in the corner." Miracle watched the two dragons, a white mouse and Celeste push themselves in the corner. She drew an exsplosive disk from the holster attached to her boot, she threw it up to the ceiling and bent down covering her head. "Cover yourselves!"
The disk impacted with the cieling and the dome shook, it sent pieces of the cieling falling in chunks around Miracle and the others. When it stopped Miracle stood up and turned to the group.
"We must hurry," she said.

-Kweraan-

There was but one way out. Up. Kweraan knew it would be a struggle for him, especially considering he knew he needed to take the humans with him. He had not flown for however long it had been since his capture, and his muscles would be weak.
"Get on my back," he said after flexing his wings tentatively a few times, watching the little white follow suit, Kweraan wondered how often she had been flying, she was still only very young.
The mouse scampered onto the little white also, almost invisible against the white scales.
"Let's go," Kweraan said again, kicking off from the ground, wings beating hard, but still easily outstripped by the little white as they slowly approached the beckoning sky, and freedom.

Thur

Thur laughed, relaxing his mind. After the mouse had started speaking with One Eye, Thur had hidden himself from their minds. Now that they were about to try and fly Thur decided to act. He drew his pistol, aimed at One Eye, fired, aimed at the Ivory, fired. The chamber clicking sounding that it was empty each time.Then he chuckled, "Fly away, little dragons, you have until I can strike a deal with the hunters to escape."

Cindallia~

As the two dragons lifted the party into the sky, the tiny mouse saw a glimpse of one more human. This time male, and he was pointing something at them--had she heard them called guns? Nothing happened, so Cindallia ignored it, now having more important things to worry about.

Like how she was going to stay onto the back of the White dragon. She tried curling her claws under the scales of the dragon's back (where they were toughest), but she could feel a burst of pain from the dragon when she did. So she was constantly climbing up the dragon's head, almost to the top, and falling back down, and climbing up again, over and over during the flight.

The dragon's flight was weak, and Cindallia could feel how hard the small dragon was trying to keep up with Kweraan. Cindallia climbed back up the dragon's head, only this time she climbed towards her ear (or, where it would be if you could see it easily) and called:
"Dragon, fly as close as you can to the tail of the crippled dragon," Cindallia requested. And the White dragon did so, understanding what the mouse was going to request.

With some trouble, Cindallia jumped from the tip of the White dragon's nose to the the tip of Kweraan's tail. Kweraan was a much more experienced at flying, and was much more stable, even though he had been locked up for most of Cindallia's lifetime and was carrying two humans on top of that.

The mouse scampered up Kweraan's spine, between the two humans, who barely even noticed her. Cindallia could feel the fear, shock and awe from both of them. When she got to Kweraan's ear she said earnestly:
"Kweraan! We need to take a brake as soon as possible! The little White dragon cannot fly this far! She is too weak! You must land."

~Aeronwen~

Aeronwen's wings were smaller that Kweraan's and she found herself puffed, and her wings aching, while he just kept going forwards.
She wasn't going to give up, or to show her weakness and inexperience, she pushed on for her mother.

But then the mouse asked her to fly behind the big blue, and she moved in, sliding to fit into his slipstream, and the mouse jumped off and crawled up his back.

It wasn't long before they began to descend, towards a gully hidden in shadow.

Aeronwen descended, and when she reached the ground, she was glad that no one was on her back, and that the others seemed to be paying too much attention to the big blue's landing to notice that she faltered. She had only flown short distances, and had never had to land at such high speeds before.

The walked down into the gully and found the trickling water.

Aeronwen drank her fill of water, she was surprised there was any left for the others, and then she collapsed onto the ground, too hot and bothered to worry about them thinking her weak.

She struggled to keep her eyes open.
