Dragon Lore LARP Forums

As the blood hit the ground the four dragonknights felt the world around them shift from solid matter to spectral as the twelve pointed star rose from the ground..a blinding light encroaching on their senses....

Those creatures that witnessed the star becoming activated momentarily saw strong powerful figures materialise from the atmosphere around the knights...elegant wings encircling the knights within their embrace before each knight and the spectral form vanish from within the star....the bright light lasting only moments longer before all traces vanished....

As they travelled through the realm guided by Shravani's dragon echoing roars can be heard as their dragons welcome them into their realm...here.. in this place their dragons become flesh and bone...hardened muscle and strong powerful wings.....

Their ties with these magnificant creatures powerful and strengthened within this realm.....

Their vision a kaleidoscope of colours bombard their senses as they enter this realm. Feeling their powerful bodies, the beat of the massive webbed wings, seeing through their eyes as they scan the countryside below. Sensing other beings within this realm they look upon. This is neither a good nor bad realm but neutral and all that exists here does not favour life......


The experience over in seconds the dragon slams their mind and body back into one as they release them through the fabric of their realm into their own. Instantly becoming responsible for their own body functions ...

Perceptions shifting rapidly back into this realm...the realm where the knights exsist......Lungs sucking in great gasps of air to flood their oxygen starved bodies within enriched blood.....the wings open to release them gently into their own land.......

Each knight weakened....... slump weakly to the ground....senses spinning....their link with their dragon weakened for a time as both recover from the powerful ritual they had implemented....

A dense forest raises up around them....all is silent.....

{All knights feel very weak and ill.....though communication with their dragons is possible}

As Aith slumps to the ground as the illness comes to him, he tries to lean on a tree but in his weakened state he just abouts gets over to a tree to lean on. As he lies there he just thinks to himself about the past few days and asks Lurtore. *Why did you choose me? For what do I have to give to help as a knight? As I have no skills or talent that you would want. What is the rock? What are the challenges that I have to there and why do I have to take this test? Who are you and why can't I see you know but I could back then? I was told I have to learn to control something but what do I have to control?*

Shravani had preformed the ritual to return the four knights, all of whom should soon be going to the rock, but she had forgotton the worst part of this ritual. She lay staring at what she could see of the sky through the trees then speaks quietly "you all alive?" she was and she had seen Aith moving about but not Chadda nor Grim she then raised her hands to rest them on her forehead, the slice across the palm of her left hand had stopped now, she lay now silent waiting for a responce, hands on her forehead staring blankly at the sky above.

Landing some way apart from the others, Grimwrinkles mind raced. His child-like psyche unable to rationalise what had just happened, he reverted it back to his dream wonderings that he had had before. Denying all that had happened over the last few days since Keep had wounded him so terribly.

Hearing the familiar voices nearby, he stealthily crept closer with the intention of following them for the pure sport it brings

{fade}

Not moving Chadda lays slumped on his back, wondering whether the sky is spinning from his recent experience or the last few mouthfuls from his hip flask.

'Yurhgg...' is first all that escapes his lips '...remind me to keep my feet on the floor from now on, so anyone know where we are?', he pauses and resumes his attempt at stopping the world from spinning.

*Each chosen knight has qualities...you are no different..the rock is the completion of your training.....allowing others to call me through you means that completion must come sooner...you must...once more prove yourself to the dragons....even more so because ....you turned upon one of your own! You WILL be tested once more to prove your worth!* Lurtore's thoughts echo through Aith's head...anger fuelling the closing thoughts.....

Around the small group trees abound.....a gentle wind whispers through the foliage.....bird song can be heard and the gentle rustle of unseen animals moving within the undergrowth around them....

There are no distuinguishing landmarks of the area they are in.......

Shravani...being the one who implimented the ritual is weak and not quiet thinking straight.....as she lies upon the damp ground a voice thunders around her head....*You turned upon one of your own! You WILL be tested once more to prove your worth!*

As Aith heard the thoughts of Lurtore he was beginning to realise that he was a knight, even though he had refused it believe it for a few days though.

Once hearing Shravani he moves into a position to see her in his weakened state and replies to her saying "I am ok Shravani, but are you meant to feel weak after that as I can barely move at the moment.

While waiting for a reply he thinks to himself about the past few days that had happened to him and thinks to himself *was it right to summon you there lurtore, I felt like I had no option at the time. What should I have done or what would you have done then?*

*What was done is now past....the dragons aided those who requested it then one of their own turned against a knight for no other reason than greed....power and greed are their downfall.....we shall not aid them again.....*

Shravani hears both Chadda and Aith say something but dosent register what is said so just mumbles a couple of words nothing special is said just a couple of words, her dragon going off at her talking about You WILL be tested once more to prove your worth she didn't even register what he said completely just that he told her she had to prove her worth again, oh well another trip to the rock, but will she leave this time, something that she didn't even care about at this moment in time.

Their senses tingle as a rustling in the trees around them can be heard........

Animals spring from the treeline running across the small glade dissapearing into the trees opposite......
