8 - [Action]

[winds_voice]

[If your character is lucky, they might spot a new creature in the skies for a few days. It seems that while Eleytheria has been staying in the mountains, he has discovered that he can in fact change his shape. However, his shape-shifting ability is not as free as he would have liked. Even so, he is glad to be able to use a more familiar body.

You'll find a gold and white dragon, serpent-like and graceful, circling over the village and the forest and leaving a breeze in his wake. While ordinarily this dragon would possess four small feathered wings, in Luceti he now has an extra pair - the pair that render him vulnerable. While he might be large and perhaps intimidating to some, Eley possesses no altered powers in this form and is purely enjoying an aesthetic difference. It brings him closer to his spiritual origins and reminds him of home... He had spent so long as a human now, perhaps this was what he needed. A chance to find a little freedom even if in this enclosure it didn't seem like much.

The dragon will be resting in various spots around the forest and mountains and just outside the village too, giving the people of Luceti a chance to approach if they wish.]

(OOC: Eley dragon will be here for a few days~ He won't be doing anything in particular since, save from flying, his powers are the same as usual, but if you want your character to go poke him then go for it! Also I have a WIP reference here. Sorry, no icons, you'll have to use your imagination. ): )

[Spock was walking from the Dome to his home when he felt a strange breeze... he looked up to see a most impressive creature..

...where had it come from?

The Vulcan stopped and stared.]

[winds_voice]

[This form seemed to make Eley slightly mischievous really~ He might have actually have been smiling if he could, for once he felt a lot more himself.

When he saw Spock stop to look at him he continued to glide in a wide circle around the Dome, before finally coming in to land once he felt his path was clear of the trees surrounding the building.

And then he spoke, but rather than coming from his mouth, his words seemed to come from within the Vulcan's head.]

You seem impressed. I have not seen anyone look upon me like that for quite some time.

[spohkh]

[Spock cannot keep the surprised look from his face.... The Vulcan's eyes widen and his hands instinctively reach up towards the dragon's face...]

Mister Eleytheria? I was not aware that you had the ability to turn yourself into a dragon while in Luceti... [Spock was thoroughly impressed... Eley was Beautiful....]

[While practicing his Valega in the forest, Saleh felt a gust of wind that immediately drew his attention. He stands up to follow the direction from which the gust had come. When he spots the dragon, he's instantly taken aback with awe.]

Great Dragon...

[Action]

[winds_voice]

[Being in the air gave Eley a whole new perspective of the enclosure. It was almost a shame he could not go too far and explore the rest of this strange planet. However, as he swept low he still managed to pick out familiar allies.

Knowing that Saleh had an affinity with dragons, he decided that perhaps he would like a closer look. So the dragon swooped low over the trees, searching for the nearest clearing, and made his landing there.

Now to find Saleh... unless of course he came to Eley first.]

[Action]

[mountain_sage]

[Of course, Saleh will wander in the direction, so eventually he will come across Eley. He doesn't quite recognize it, though, so he can't tell whether it's a threat, or just another peaceful creature. He watches warily, one hand ready to bring out his tomes if need be.]

[action]

[idealism]

[While he was outside, Tsuzuki wasn't lucky to see Eleytheria while he was in flight. However, he was fortunate enough to see the gold in his scale reflect the sun, once the dragon was resting. It was enough for him. Unafraid, he walked towards the mythical create, curious to meet the new feather.]

[action]

[winds_voice]

[Hearing someone approach, the dragon turns his head... to find Tsuzuki coming towards him. He doesn't seem particularly wary either. It was an interesting reaction, having someone approach him with no trace of fear. Eley watches him just as curiously, his tail lashing slightly.]

Do you always approach gods with such little fear? [He asks, his voice resonating in Tsuzuki's mind.]

[action]

[idealism]

[The booming voice in his head is a new thing. In Tsuzuki's experience gods use their mouths to speak, just like mortals. He ducks his head a little shyly. before looking straight into Eley's eyes. Up until now, the dragon hasn't given him a reason to be afraid. That says a lot. He hadn't even considered that he should be scared.]

[Then again, dragon can be fickle. He remembers how burns feel. That's the only reason he hesitates, before coming closer.]

Only the best ones. Your scales are so pretty!

[puubuu]

[If Eley happens to be in the forested area near the Battledome, he might notice Fattycakes outside his hut out there. Whether or not he notices the puffball (he is rather low to the ground anyway), Fattycakes will scamper up to the dragon. ...He's used to being able to randomly greet strange creatures without much fear of reprisal.]

Puuuuu~ Hi! Are you a New Feather? What'cha doing out here?

[winds_voice]

[It takes Eley a while to realise where Fattycakes even is, though he can't forget his distinctive voice of course. The dragon looks around from where he's lying, peering closely at the ground before he spots the puffball. He lowers his head closer to the ground to get a better look.

And then Eley's voice comes clearly into Fattycakes' mind.]

Ah, of course, you would not recognise me. It is I, Eleytheria. The Wind Spirit.

[action]

[savarin]

[That's strange, Red thinks. There wasn't a breeze before... and it certainly wasn't this dark. What's going on--]

Wh-whoa! What the heck is that?!

[He ducks inside the cockpit of Dahak, his robot, and drives it behind a nearby building. Is this the Malnosso's doing? Hopefully there's no need to fight the giant monster, but if there is, he needs to come up with a plan.]

[action]

[winds_voice]

[The dragon makes its way some distance from the village to land safely without causing any unwanted injury or destruction. He's still big enough that Red can probably spot him. And he seems to be... lying down. He doesn't look particularly threatening, but it gives him ample chance to ambush or approach as he sees fit.

Of course, Eley will probably wonder what on earth Dahak is if he approaches as well. This could be interesting...]

[Action] - Ignore the scales and long lips/eyes/ears she's been turned human for the week

[elongatedsmile]

[Xzana was bundled up tight against the cold. She maybe be a bit TOO bundled, but she did not like the cold that this body could feel. How useless. Then again, it was nice to be outside without falling into a hibernate state.

Then suddenly she looks up and her heart nearly stops. A dragon. She actually falls to her knees as she watches the dragon fly by. Hating the fact that she's not in her own body and can't fly after him.

Then the dragon lands, not too far away just on the edge of the village. She could still talk to him, but she's already tried to speak in her native tongue in this form. She just can't make the right sounds anymore.

So don't mind the girl bundled up in clothing staring at you. She's not sure how to move anymore.]

[Action]

[winds_voice]

[It's hard not to notice that feeling of being watched... something that Eley does enough of himself ironically. Landing not so far from the bundled human, the Spirit turns to approach her, standing a short distance away and peering down at her.

Now they both appear to be staring. At least until his voice penetrates her mind.]

Is there something you need, human?

[merelychewed]

[ Now that was a surprise to see. The only times Draco ever saw anything else remotely dragon-like were during those blasted shifts. He was sure nothing of the sort had happened, though, and even if it had, the sight of another dragon in his mountains, of all places, was enough to pull him out of his own little valley to go searching. Mostly out of curiosity, though some small part out of an ancient need to put up some minor defense for this 'territory'.

It must have landed somewhere else, since he couldn't see it in the air once he got up there himself. No matter. Draco knew all the best spots to land. It was only a matter of time before Eley would find his rest in the mountains disturbed.

Draco, not wanting to sneak up on him, gives a heads-up roar before swinging around to spiral down and land heavily on an outcropping of rocks, snow and ice kicked up from his wings and arrival when he does.

Dragon, meet other dragon. ]

[winds_voice]

[Eley had not yet spotted any other dragons here during his stay in Luceti. However he couldn't ignore the proud roar of such a beast as it echoed from over the mountain peaks. He looked up in the direction of that sound and when Draco comes in for a landing, Eley can't help but get to his feet, backing away a little from the spray of snow.

Well... this was interesting. There were many dragons in Aether, but he didn't often come face to face with them in his current form. Knowing now that there was another in Luceti made him feel strangely more at home, despite the ferocity of some of the beasts he knew.

And since he can't very well just stand and look at him, he'll speak, though his voice will come from within Draco's head.]

I had not known that there were other dragons in this enclosure. Do you speak?

[elessar_telcontar]

[The day was cold and Aragorn's breath frosted in the air like small puffs of smoke as he wandered alone through the forest, looking for something or nothing. A gust of wind caught at the icy cloud of breath before him. Strange on such a still day. Strange and unnatural. The ranger felt the breeze upon his face, oddly warm, and looked up, to see if the clouds were being shepherded by this soft wind. What he saw startled him into action in an instant. He pressed himself against the rough bark of the closest tree, though the skeletal winter branches would do little to hide him from the beast above.]

[Dragon]

[winds_voice]

[Though the trees might have betrayed Aragorn's location, the dragon overhead didn't seem particularly interested in him. In fact he acted as thought he hadn't even seen him, seemingly fixated on a point ahead. He wasn't hunting.

Eleytheria appeared to be landing not so far off from his hiding place. Finding a suitable clearing he circled around and lowered his altitude before touching down on the ground not so far from the nearby river.

He appeared to be thirsty, and completely unaware of anyone who might be watching him as he lowered his long neck and took a drink from the cool water.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[Whoa. That is... definitely a dragon. Fortunately Emil has dealt with enough of them by now that his reaction is to pause and just look up to watch it as it flies overhead rather than to panic and run for cover. After all, if it was really hunting, it would surely have noticed him by now, right?]

[Action]

[winds_voice]

[Eley seemed to be enjoying the attention he was getting already as he surveyed the enclosure from the air. He felt far more at home in this body and at this height, it definitely helped to lift his mood.

There were those who looked at him in awe, those who seemed wary of him... and those who found his shape familiar and didn't seem bothered either way. He recognised one such figure from his arrival in Luceti and after noticing him, the beast circled and descended to land nearby.]

You seem unperturbed. Is this familiar to you?

[He asked after a pause, though his voice came not from his mouth but from within Emil's mind.]

[weaponry]

[ Tenten discovers the dragon resting by pure coincidence. Her original intention for being there was looking for a needle that slipped out of her hands and went flying in the general direction during combat practice. Tenten looks on with awe.

Is that a dragon? This place is ridiculously awesome! She breathes in a very loud breath of wonder that could easily wake a sleeping dragon. ]

action

[winds_voice]

[Which was probably only helped by the fact Eley never rested particularly soundly anywhere in Luceti... not that he needed to anyway. Realising that someone was nearby, the dragon lifts his head and turns to look at the stranger now. He speaks, but not from his mouth. Instead his voice comes from within her head.]

Did I startle you, human?

Wow gosh I am so sorry this is late [action]

[folklorist]

[ There's another dragon. There is another dragon flying around and Helios is absolutely ecstatic to see it. It's almost in the same venue as a chinese imperial dragon, one of the more uncommon forms that he's seen here. He is just going to stare up at you Eley, yep. Because dragons are a thing. Maybe he should bring Luminair and Maggir along to get a closer look at some point! ]

[action] It's okay, don't worry! <3

[winds_voice]

[Eley had quite enjoyed circling the enclosure and making out the people below. It made him feel more himself - the Wind Spirit surveying the land below and drawing attention from all who spot him.

He recognised one such person as Helios. Knowing he already had a way with dragons, he might be circling around him now, descending with a view to landing not too far away. Once he touched down, lighter than his size would likely suggest, he watches the man to see if he might approach.]
