It was three months since my talk with Nefarian, i have been looking all over the isle for the red flight member but since his tracks mixed with all other dragons i could not find a demn thing that could lead me to him.
But at least my months were not all waisted i have spended time with Noxarion and became fast friends with him, he is one hell of a jeweler and enchanter he spends almost all his time looking for gems and jewels and seems to have worked some sort of seconds sense wher to find them on the isle, all the while keeping up somewhat shy but up beat personality he is a nice change of pace betwine Onyxia's playing succubus on all boys she can find and Seballian's constant pranking and joking.
I have invited him to our nest for i knew that ther are some gems ther, unexpectedly it worked to turn him in eyes of my brood from some whelp they are not to kill if found on our hunting ground to my most favored flight member instantly my broodmates have changed ther approach to him like Tenebrian would out right follow his orders while someone like Onyxia and Seballian have made efferts to make ally of him...or mate(god dammit Sister)
while Nefarian is being...Nefarian.
Today was intresting day on isle all broods are havy in activity you see today was the day that the Brood Mothers normally returned for the mating season. They usually turned up turning the dry season but it had been unusually rainy lately. Storm Clouds were regularly appearing over the horizon, drenching the island for a few days, before moving off. Just last month a hurricane had passed through, even though it wasn't the season for hurricanes. I had the bad feeling that it wasn't natural.
When I had gone to the Teacher with my worries, he had passed it off with contempt, making an idle comment that Redwings were just trying to find a way pass the defenses again, and that there was nothing to worry about.
"nothing to worry about..."only the fact that i know that ther may well be at least one red on isle all ready how long before more would show not like a hand full of drakes and whelps would stop a par of full blown dragons or even worst Wyrm's last thing we need hir is veteran of demon war with a bone to pick with us.
Curious in this attempts I was now flying around the perimeter of the island, currently on the east side, looking at the various rune-stones that created the wards. The rune-stones were on raised stone platforms and had a wide verity of runes carved on them. There were hundreds of these rune-stones that surrounded this island and other island's about 40 kilometers away from the shore in a semicircle.
for some reason We weren't allowed to fly to the second island, I had no idea why. Every time I tried, a spell would inevitably push me back.
Looking up from another rune-stone I'd been inspecting, I spotted another storm-cloud on the horizon. The storm-cloud was moving quickly towards me, and would no doubt be here in an hour or two
I jumped into flight, using a stone to help me gain altitude. I wanted to see if I could spot a Redwing. I honestly had no idea how sending storm-clouds our way would help them break the defenses, but that didn't mean it wasn't worthy of concern...or interest after all many time in lore someone was using wards to keep foe at bay i could use knowledge how to break them.
I was now about 120 meters above sea-level, and I strained my eyes to see if there was anything nearby the border. There was nothing. At least, nothing I could spot. Even after basically plastering myself against the ward I couldn't see anything other then storm cloud.
I huffed in disappointment It was just a random coment from Teacher it is just as likely we were getting some unusual weather this year.
I turned my tail and was about to hightail it back to the island when I heard a voice speak: "You're a little bit young to be flying this high, aren't you?"
The voice was feminine, and had a wry undertone to it. I turned my head to the source of the voice. It was a Redwing Dragon a Dragon with a Capital D it was as i feared a red wyrm was present before me.
That ward is still hir so i am save but i need to play it well i need to make good realtions with flights if i am to not be openly hunted in years to come
"How did you sneak up on me?" I asked curiously, but didn't wait for an answer. "Some spell, right? I think I would spotted you if you hadn't used a spell." let's hope she bites the bait and thinks happy going whelp
The Redwing gave me a sly smirk. "Not at all, any dragon worth their wings could sneak up on a little whelping like you. What's your name, Whelping?" no magic huh looks like perception is next thing to send points in to. let's hope she will not be mad about thruth i know i cant lie to grow ass wyrm and expect them not to catch me lie to ther faces
I gave a slight smile. "I am Acalagon, and I'm not just any Whelping, I'm a son of The Mad One himself!"
The Redwing frowned, giving me a disapproving glare, shit shit shit. "The Mad One? Do you mean Deathwing the Destroyer, Slayer of the Blue Dragonflight, Enemy of All Life?" well at least now i am 100% sure this is WoW world and i got at least something close to a date we are after the betrayal so at least 10000 years down line to events of classic WoW
let's change topic fast I shook my head, looking at the Redwing. "Redwing. Go back to your Queen we both know you will not succeed today."
"Oh, and what is it that you think I am doing, Whelping?" She asked with new found curiosity.
"You're trying to get past the wards, obviously," I replied with a shrug
For a moment Redwing made a line of sight with something behinde me and acted as if she just realized something. "Wait, why am I talking to a Blackwing Brat?"
She turned to look at me. "I thought you'd be scared off by now?"
"Why would I be scared?" I asked. "You're on the other side of the wards, so you can't hurt me." i hope
"What if I had found a way through the wards and was just waiting for the right moment to jump on you?" She said with a big grin, revealing all the sharp teeth in her mouth. No doubt trying to intimidate me.
"Please," I scoffed. "If you could have gotten through the wards you would have done so by now, and we wouldn't be having this conversation" Giving her a wide smile " i would have slayed you and be half way to geting praised by my teacher by now"
For a moment she just looked confused, before suddenly turning her head back up and laugheing.
"haha a whelp with a sense of humor maybe the black are not all lost haha" she said in between laughing " ohhh yes Brat you've seen through my master plan on how to survive this encounter with something as mighty as you HAhaha!" she said playfully, before turn to glance at something over her shoulder.
"I've got to go," she said after turning back, giving me a slight smile. "This was a nice talk, Whelping. See you later!"
And she turned to leave, "Wait!" I called out. "What's your name?"
She paused, turning around. "Keristrasza. My name is Keristrasza."
"Keristrasza," I said, pondering. The name sounded familiar but i am not sure of the details. giving her a warm smile "I'll remember that name, Keristrasza."
"And I'll remember yours, Ancalagon," She said with a final wide smile, before turning and leaving.
