(Oh! That wasn't a funny? Alright then, I'll modify.)

(Oh! That wasn't a funny? Alright then, I'll modify.)

(nope, that was part of that rune thing, lol)

 

[StarrNico]

Asclepius jumped a little when the brutal wave of energy was released from behind the door, then sighed in relief realizing it wasn't a rune trap. "I guess I'll get to work, then. This poor beautiful lady must be the one we are here for then?"

~~

Slygotha roared as the dragonkin stung her feet and attacked her face. " It's mine, you can't have it. MINE!" She went for the throat, in her frenzy ignoring the approach from behind. She pushed it over as it tried to right itself and planted herself over the top, her huge teeth rending chunks of flesh from its throat and chest. Gugol thrashed a bit more, then whimpered with pain as the stinger took effect. The net made contact with Slygotha from behind as she continued her assault on the downed dragonkin. With the arrival of the net came the shock and the pain to go with it. She collapsed on top of her victim, grunting with shock.

Trogdor bobbed his head, watching the broodmother go down. He saw the other dragonkin land on top of her in order to subdue her. He charged forward, making for the tail of the preoccupied dragonkin, sinking his little teeth in the venom sac attached to the stinger, worrying it like a dog.

"Yes, her name is Shaylee" Fay informed, setting the water bottles down on the floor beside him so he could use them as needed then going to the wall to work on uncovering and checking on the runes there. She wanted to be certain they wouldn't be trapped here or attacked from nowhere while he worked. Shaylee meanwhile would be unresponsive, her breathing and heart rate slowed like a hibernation or coma.

~~~
That one growled and turned, grabbing Trogdor and holding him with his head on the infant's neck behind his head. He delivered a blast of ice, hoping to make the baby let go and go unconcious so it could be transported.

The other male fell under Slygotha, with Gugal stuck between the two of them.

Fay smiled at him as he sketched a bow. "You have done well. There are more runes on the walls inside, though they were covered so we couldn't see them through the camera." She said, moving to open the door for them to go in. She was met with a magical attack that even pushed her back, though it would have done worse to someone that wasn't a god. She shook her head and looked in to see that Shaylee had passed out, having used all her remaining magic in that last attack. 

~~~
Kellan moved to Zypher, ready to take his group through


Anna went to the group she would be leading to go through the portal into the void. She glanced over then took a moment to go to Zypher to give him a kiss before they would leave. 
~~~

Aurora nodded "It is not easy to maintain, but yes, I can." She said, allowing Garmr to get on her back so they could be ready to go once more.before chuckling softly "Why do you think our kind is not often seen, even in the sky? No dragon can truly be invisible, but we can fool the eye into not seeing us. I will show you." 
~~~

"Dampening" Sorcha said and smiled at him again, moving away a little to start on that. She was glad the dungeon had already been cleaned up in the time they had been gone. Sound dampening wasn't that hard, but it did take a bit of time to set, especially for the levels they needed here. To dampen that attack, the ones inside this room wouldn't even be able to speak to one another, which might be a good thing all on it's own. 
~~~
Auger looked over at the flash of light then called out in praise of that one before looking to Ender again. He licked his lips nervously before glancing around the area then closed his eyes to try to shift.


Foneth smiled to Spyro then chuckled softly "Dragons do stand on their back legs on occasion, so it is not fully a new thing, but the balance is very different in this form." She explained a little "Besides that is the fact that we are not hatchlings and have better control over our balance than we did at that time. Even hatchlings stumble and fall before they can walk" 

~~~

The pair flew up to avoid the tree, following him to the cave then hovering there a moment before the one dropped the net until it was only holding one side, lowering himself enough that Reaper would catch his own tail in the net with all his wild movements, tangling it around him. They would give that a moment or two to work before dropping down enough to spay him with their ice breath


The group of people at the entrance were caught off guard, though they scrambled to get out of the way. Only a few survived that attack, dropping back to hide behind boulders and fire their weapons at his head, some had tranqs while others had the net launchers 
~~~
The first one through cried out at the attack before realizing they were babies. She twisted in the air, turning to get them to fall so she could grab them and take them out to the group outside. 


The other had the net and headed for Slygotha to drop it on her head or back, either would incapacitate her if he succeeded. He used his ice breath also, trying to freeze her to hide the net's approach. 

The last one had grabbed the baby, stinging it in retaliation when it bit at him before the mother arrived to slam him back. He managed to keep hold of the baby, trying to right himself when Slygotha attacked with teeth and claws. His wing tore easily under the assault, though he did use his tail and ice to sting at her feet and mouth. 

Zypher held up a hand to tell Kellan to hold on a second. He then smiled widely as Anna came to him to share a kiss. "Anna kisses, my favorite. I didn't want to bother you, you were busy. Be careful in there my love." He murmured softly to her.
~~~
Aeval and her sisters look to Aurora with eagerness and avid excitement. "We look forward to learning. " Pandora said pleasantly.

Garmr settled on Aurora's back and griped on where she could. She looked around quietly as the others loaded up and started driving into the void in single file.
~~~
Racine dipped his head to his lovely mate and went to work on the draining magic containment cell. He closed his eye and called upon his core magic to forging deep within the bars the spell itself. That way it would manifest a cocoon like effect, not letting anything of magic origin escape. For no doors or windows would be seen by the occupant. When he had finished, he looked to Sorcha and watched her work. She was a rare beauty and to see her weave her magic was mesmerizing.
~~~
Jackdaw finally reached the Balors new portal's location. They'd all agreed to move it away from the tree of life. He had the presence of mind to slow in his approach as he came into view of the guards. He stopped short and shifted. "Guards of Ettence, I seek council with you queen. There's grave matter that she must be informed of." He said formally.
~~~
Ender watched Auger curiously and waited to see the results of his inward reflection.

Spyro nodded at that and agreed, " yes the balance is significantly different. Not to mention the perspective! I could see for miles from that height. "
~~~
Reaper felt the moment the net Madd contact and was to late to stop his tails entanglement within its webbing. The intensity the shocks jolted him and caused him to get caught by one of the nets launched at his head. The result of that onslaught was imminent. He collapsed in a heap of pulsing agony at the mouth of the cave. Every muscle misfiring with uncontrollable twitches from the shocks of the nets. He moaned piteously as I heard his mate fighting within their den.
~~
Nevitha was tenacious enough to have wrapped her tail around the body of the dragonkin, so the aerial acrobatics had little to no effect on her retaliatory attacks to the sack of its head and neck. Much like a pit bull with a bone.

Razeth however fell off the back, but had his jaw locked upon the scorpion light tail. He dangled precariously low as the dragonkin circled the hoard chamber.

 

[Bantambird]

"Yes, her name is Shaylee" Fay informed, setting the water bottles down on the floor beside him so he could use them as needed then going to the wall to work on uncovering and checking on the runes there.

The other male fell under Slygotha, with Gugal stuck between the two of them. 

"If this is a water horse, we'd best dose her with water before proceeding further, if that's alright? I don't like the looks of her, she's awful pale," Asclepius murmured as he slipped an arm under her collarbone to support her.

~~

Slygotha was fading fast, jerking around. Her tail thrashed about, the barb on the end acting like a bludeon more than a knife. Gugol gasped from between the two forms, then was out, hardly breathing, close to death. In one last great effort, Slygotha heaved her heavy body off the squished wyrmling, then, with a great groan, her head arched back and fell to the side. Trogdor grunted in pain, letting go. He spit acid at its eyes in response, then pawed at his own face, crying and trying to escape.

Anna smiled at Zypher again "You too, I couldn't go in there without a kiss for luck" She said, teasing a little before touching cheeks "You take care, We will see one another after the battle"
~~~
Aurora took off to fly since they were going in from the outside. Her first stop would be at a river to collect enough water to mask the both of them, letting Aeval see how she manipulated the water to show the sky above instead of them. "A cloud is simpler, but moves too slow naturally for what we need to do.Anyone watching the sky very carefully will see something moving, but will not be able to see what it is." She said before flying on, towards the mountain that housed the Menajarie.
~~~
Sorcha finished and took a breath before looking to Racine, going to his side to join him once more. "It is done" She said simply then looked around the cell. It was as ready as they could make it now.
~~~
The guards looked to him then dipped their heads "Do you need a ride?" One asked kindly "There are many just inside that can take our place so we can get you to the castle faster." Yeah, this had become a preferred posting for many, watching over the doorway and seeing the realm they had come from.
~~~
"Not just the balance is different" Foneth said and smiled to Spyro "You should now be able to access your magic." She said then looked to Ender and back "Is your brother-bond back again, now that you are both able to take dragon form?"

Auger frowned and turned his head to look at his wings, still the same. He sighed and shook his head, glancing to Foneth before closing his eyes to try again.
~~~
With Reaper down, the two dragonkin landed to pull him out of the entrance so the humans could get through and Marcus and Pariah could come and either force a shift or simply knock him out so he could be transported safely.

The two living dragonkin from inside came out with three of the babies, heading for the group of humans to get them knocked out and off them for a safer journey. Those two dragonkin needed medical attention as well.
(lol, only four remain.)

"If this is a water horse, we'd best dose her with water before proceeding further, if that's alright? I don't like the looks of her, she's awful pale," Asclepius murmured as he slipped an arm under her collarbone to support her.

~~~
Fay nodded and glanced to him "I was trying to be certain we wouldn't be trapped or attacked" She said and came over to help him dose the female with some of the water, hoping it would help her "Do you think it is safe to move her?" She didn't like how Shaylee looked here "There is a lot of iron in this place, and that is a weakness to the fae."
When she started pouring the water the runes on the walls activated, making it hotter and taking away the humidity in the air, revealing their purpose.

Asclepius furrowed his brow. " Darn it Fay, I'm a doctor, not a tactician!" He exclaimed. He looked up, spotting his briefcase open in the other room. "Get over here!" He commanded, and it snapped shut, then drew to him like a magnet. Opening it again with his free arm, he quickly carried her down into his study, laying her gently on the rug.
"We may not be able to leave the room, but with the pocket dimension, technically we are still there. If I close the door, it will have about a day's worth of air until she starts to suffocate. But what happens up there won't affect what's in here since it is another dimension. There probably isn't much iron in here since books and desks and most gemstones don't have iron, but I haven't really checked. I'll go up there and work on the runes, if you might stay down here and minister to the fair lady. Is it alright if I close the case? It will keep it cooler in there. I can stand heat, it doesn't bother me, it's the cold I don't care for."

~~

Slygotha is exhausted and drained, she has used up her magic reserves and her acid glands are dry. Gugol is on the brink of death, her internal organs crushed. Trogdor squealed and thrashed about until he was tranquilized, then he went limp.
