Krispy: By the Force...

Obi-Wan: What?

Krispy: I think that was the scariest threat Alz has ever made toward us.

Anakin: Really?

Krispy: Yes. I'm serious. That is a pretty SCARY threat.

Steph: *smile* I suppose but um, Krispy?

Krispy: Yeah?

Steph: Don't cave.

Krispy: Right. But I'm not the one that caves. Luce is.

Steph: Yes, unfortunately but...

Wing: We will fix that.

Luce: You guys?

Krispy: Yeah, I know. They sound scary. It's even scarier that it's THOSE two saying it.

Zalari: Zalari Love Scenes?

Krispy: Er...sorry man. You know how Alz is. And *glomps him* I'M SO SORRY!!! I'm SUCH A HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PERSON!!! YOU DESERVE BETTER THAN WHAT I DO TO YOU!!!

Zalari: Krispy, I can't breathe.

Krispy: *quickly backing off* Oh...heh...sorry. *whirls on Steph* AND YOU!!!

Steph: *rolls eyes* What did I do now? And may I remind you that YOU are the brilliant one who came up with these ideas?

Krispy: That's besides the point!!

Obi-Wan: *laugh* Really now?

Krispy: YES! Stephanie! You were so MEAN!!!

Steph: *sticks tongue out* Yeah well BLEH to you! You're mean too!

Anakin: Children!

Wing: *blink* Did you and Obi-Wan just switch places or bodies or something?

Jedi: No.

Wing: Right...

Krispy: Ok well...I'm typing up the Zalari scene right now and well...using Luce's as reference cuz she started in an earlier part than I did...I dunno. The times are a bit confusing. So, I'm out!

Krispy: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! *cough* I'm sorry, Zalari. *smile*

Steph: *trying not to laugh* Looks like I have an evil twin.

Anakin: You call her the evil twin?

Steph: She's scary as heck!

Wing: She's got a point.

Zalari: *mumbling* I should have taken a longer vacation...

Obi-Wan: *sympathetically* Yes, you should have.

Krispy: And now the questions is...to post? Or not to post?

Steph: I choose the latter. All in favor?

Everyone: I!

Steph: All opposed?

Alz: NAY!!!!

Steph: There it's settled. Krispy, you don't post. We won out.

Krispy: Well, Alz...that was interesting and all but--well, I'll leave it to Luce. Do you think we should post?

Krispy: Accent??? *leaning forward to the point of almost falling over*

Steph: *disinterestedly filing her fingernails* Your powers never cease to amaze me...

Krispy: *snaps out of it* NO! I am cured. I am SO CURED!!!

Steph: Really? And how did this come to be?

Krispy: Don't pretend you weren't there!!!

Steph: *actually interested*smile* Yes...that was nice...

Krispy: *staring googly eyed at Obi-Wan* EEEEEEEWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNN!!! *sigh* He's so...*sigh*melt*

Wing: Well, it is Friday.

Zalari: Is that a good thing? I've been thrown around in the heads of Krispy AND Luce ALL DAY!!!

Steph: *shrug* You and me are in the same boat, dude.

Krispy: So Alz wants to know about the scene...*thinking*

Steph: *rolls eyes* Ok so here's how it was. *grabs Zalari and roughly positions him* Ok so he was standing there. And I was standing here. And he was like--

Zalari: *smile* This is an interesting way of dealing with her request...

Steph: *smile* I know. Er...you didn't say that.

Zalari: Right. I love you.

Steph: *really really purposely fake acting* Oh my god...no way!

Krispy: *smacks Steph* Don't ruin the image of this scene for me okay!!!! Sheez!!!

Steph: *cough* Right...sorry. But um...you have to leave now and Alz...*smile* You can just TRY to figure out my past.

Krispy: No!!! I don't want Yuya--

Steph: But c'mon! I wanna know if IT really knows!!! But Alz...very mean. BETRAYAL!!! And um...Firetail, I STILL LIKE YOU!!!!

Krispy: Alrite...gotta go to music lessons...be back.

Krispy: AAAAAA-----------LLLLLL----------ZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!

Zalari: Why do insist on provoking her when it's late?

Wing: You know how WEIRD she gets when it's late! She turns all...crazy!!

Anakin: MORE SO THAN USUAL!!!

Obi-Wan: It affects our own sanity.

Steph: WHY?!!!!!! WHY?!!!! WHY?!!!

Anakin: Look! She's so strong that she even takes over Stephanie!!!

Steph: HOLY SHEET!!! FIRALAER!!! YOU ROCK MAN!!!

Krispy: I think I'm in love...

Steph: *bursts out laughing* Ok. That's a new one. You're obsessed but you've never been in "love"!

Krispy: Er...I think I may have loved Christian...or maybe Obi-Wan? I dunno...but...OMG!!! Seriously tho...I think I'm really really...head over heels...*sigh*melt*

Wing: You're name is KRISPY!!! NOT MELTED!!!

Zalari: I didn't know you were aware of that.

Wing: Yes, well apparently I also read something by some guy named Terry Brooks? And I didn't!

Krispy: I didn't either!

Steph: That made no sense!

Krispy: LOVE DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!! LOVE IS LIKE OXYGEN!!!

Steph: LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDOURED THING!!!

Krispy: LOVE LIFTS US UP WHERE WE BELONG!!!

Together: ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE!!!

Anakin: *starts banging head against wall*

Krispy: I...every single time...

Luce: I read about...

Both: HIM *sigh*melt*

Steph: This is pretty pathetic...

Krispy: Think about it Stephanie! You've been in love!!!

Steph: *snort* Love is fickle. It slips from your hands faster than water and is harder to catch than the wings of Time. Love is a weakness.

Krispy: *in bliss* No no...that's just Sseriya talking...

Steph: Haha!

Krispy: I feel terrible like I've betrayed Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan: *smile* You haven't.

Krispy: Or worse yet...*gasp* EWAN!!! NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! EWAN IS WONDERFUL!!! I LOVE OH-SO-TALENTED, CHARMINGLY-FUNNY, ACCENTED, SCOTTISH EWAN!!!! *pause* Firalaer? You don't happen to have an accent, do you?

Steph: Please say no.

Krispy: DANG IT! I need to finish my APUSH notes and um...argh...FIRALAER!!! I don't even know what to SAY!!! ALZ!!! WE NEED ANSWERS!!! IF YOU DON'T GIVE ME ANSWERS--I WILL--

Steph: Go ahead and say it.

Krispy: I'm going to stop writing!

Everyone: WHAT?!!!

Krispy: Yes. That is correct. Besides, I've been in a strange, on-off writing phase all summer. It's about time I switched back to say--poetry. And reading fanfiction. Yes. I need a vacation.

Everyone: *STARE*

Krispy: I'm pulling a Britain. I'm cutting off my profitable West Indies trade from you and refusing to sign a commercial treaty until I get some answers! Don't make me pull a Repressive Act on you!

Steph: I'm almost scared...

Krispy: *sigh*faint*die*

Wing: What an interesting combination...

Steph: NO NO NO!!! Don't go all mushy because of Firalaer!!!

Krispy: *suddenly revived* He touched my head! He gave me a BEAUTIFUL present!!!! AND IT'S NOT EVEN MY BIRTHDAY!!!! *sudden thought* Wait...Alz isn't going to find some way of making the keeping of this clip as some sort of bargain that I will be binded to right? I don't owe anyone any lifedebts so far and I don't plan on--*pause*

Steph: *dully* Too late you nitwit! Do you know how many times Firalaer has already saved your pathetic butt?!!!

Krispy: *glare* No thanks to you!

Steph: I'm the split personality. NOT the body-guard. Besides, you should wonder why the Jedi don't do anything about it.

Anakin: Hey! You get yourself into those messes!

Krispy: *shrug* Well, what could Firalaer possibly want from me? I'm...broke...and...very very...

Steph: Pathetic?

Krispy: *glare* Yes...that. Er...and Yuya, you know, ever since Firalaer showed up you've been acting like a spoiled child.

Steph: *smirk* A Brat-Child if you will.

Krispy: YEAH! You're like...Anakin!

Anakin: I resent that!

Krispy: Except even Anakin doesn't seem that bratty anymore! Heck! I like Anakin more than I like you!

Wing: And here we go with the insults again. Krispy, you want to owe Firalaer more?

Krispy: No, but I need to get this out. Now, Yuya, you see, we would call you Luke because Luke is whiny...

Anakin: Who's Luke?

Krispy: Er...no one for you to be concerned about...*cough* And, as I was saying, you're arrogant like Anakin. So you identify better that way.

Luce: So you're Anakin 2. Or Brat-Child 2!!!

Zalari: Do you two have any fear for your lives?

Wing: Yuya's gonna snap.

Krispy: Furthermore--

Steph: Yes?

Krispy: Omg...I just totally lost my point...well when I think of it...oh right. Aegis, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for translating. I'd be so lost without you.

Steph: That was original.

Krispy: You back off! I wrote about you today.

Steph: You wrote about Wing and Nerilay today.

Wing: *suddenly interested* Did you?

Krispy: Er...yes?

Wing: *checks over the scene* I'm...eh...it's alrite.

Krispy: Well, I'm glad you don't hate it then. But Firalaer!!! Why can't I have your shoe?!!! Can't you just get Alz to write you another one?!!!

Obi-Wan: You really need to get control of that behavior of yours.

Anakin: He makes her go all goofy...It's disturbing.

Krispy: And you know what? Luce thinks I should post the "scene" so I think I will. BLEH!

Wing: Wait! What scene?!!!

Krispy: TOO LATE!

----------------

King Loki of Lorraine was elegantly draped over his throne of platinum and sapphire, a satisfied smile playing on the young ruler’s sweetly curved lips. Lustrous silver hair was neatly tied back, just brushing past his broad shoulders, and eyes the rich green of Silvra’s forests surveyed the ballroom with careful scrutiny. All in all, Loki looked every bit like his brother Ares, except Ares had smoky black tresses instead of silver.

The Lorain family was known to be consistent with the colorations of its heirs. Every ruler was either endowed with silver or black hair and almost always had blue eyes. So it was a surprise when the twin brothers Loki and Ares were born, two boys of two hair colors and both with unusual green eyes rather than blue. With Loki being the older twin, Lorraine’s colors had remained blue and silver instead of switching to blue and black as was custom if the heir were raven-haired.
The ball was a bright swirl of colorful cloths and trinkets, sweeping music, and exotic perfumes, but nothing held his Majesty’s attention long. The much adored king had eyes only for one thing recently, and this object of interest was the woman hovering near the throne.

She was clothed in a fine cerulean dress that ended at mid-thigh before trailing down at a slant. Under this, white pants which laced up the sides neatly draped over most of the matching dress-boots. The gown hung from one-shoulder, translucent crepe of platinum hanging neatly on her concealed arm. The other arm, however, was completely exposed and all that adorned it was a band of gold circling her bicep. Two tiny rubies glittered from the armlet like blinking orbs. A ring of platinum ending in a single circular blue crystal graced the young woman’s neck, accentuating the delicate curve of her throat. This piece of jewelry was given to his Majesty’s Court favorites.
The mercenary Erida, formerly Circe of Atalanta (or so Loki had heard), looked stunning tonight. Many Ladies of the Court were very jealous indeed that some hired assassin captivated their king so. Pale amber tresses were pulled tightly back into a ponytail, but tonight they were fashionably curled. The locks fell behind her like so many golden ribbons, and a few tendrils framed her regal face. She could easily have passed for a member of Lorraine’s elite society.

But she wasn’t. Erida acted as Loki’s bodyguard this night, as he had wished. It was easier this way to be in her company. Loki knew that his infatuation did not sit well with many of his older advisors. After all, she was a mercenary, she was mysterious, and she was rumored to be the Dread Goddess, Circe. The witch of the Blue Dragon’s realm had abruptly vanished a few months previous, leaving behind her impeccably completed tasks and also havoc. Lord Blue was furious after discovering such a threat so close to his own abode. Loki’s agents there hadn’t been able to supply much detail in the area of the appearance of the mystifying Circe, so Erida could very much be the infamous witch.

Amused topaz eyes fringed with long lashes suddenly locked with his, the coy smile on her face causing him to blush slightly. She had been very much aware of his scrutiny and had enjoyed every moment of it. The beauty casually moved to her Majesty’s side as if he had beckoned her and bent down so as to better hear the seated man.

“You look enchanting tonight.”

“I must warn you, milord, to take caution with one such as me.”

“Really? Must I fear such ethereal light?”

“But of course, milord, for I am a fallen angel.”

Erida winked at his Majesty before returning to her post and her observation of the dancers, but King Loki would look at no one else tonight. Thoughts of taking on a queen were already streaming through his mind.

Wing: Oh...THAT scene...eck...

Krispy: If that raises questions, it's supposed to. Now, have fun figuring it out. *toothy smile*

Steph: *smirk* You are so bad.

::: spewed by Krispy at 9:15 PM

 
Krispy: Grr...u frustrate me so much, I'm almost tempted to post that scene that was driving Luce crazy. I wonder what she would have done if I hadn't told her...

Steph: *smirk* Who knows? But um...Don't give into temptation--all that wonderful Jedi stuff...

Krispy: ARGH! ARE YOU HUMAN OR NOT?!!! IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!

Steph: *smile* Wan-chan...

Anakin: LIKE A PUPPY!!!

Obi-Wan: *glare* Anakin.

Anakin: *cough* Sorry, Master.

Krispy: *adoringly* Master Obi-Wan!!!! *glomps him*

Obi-Wan: *smile* Hello.

Krispy: Firalaer's nice but I still love you! *squeezes him*

Obi-Wan: I'm...flattered...but please...let go...

Krispy: *suddenly struck by a thought* FIRALAER!!! *latches herself to his foot* Can I have your shoe?

Wing: What is with the shoe obsession?

Steph: *shrug* By the way Krispy, nice self-portrait.

Krispy: *disgusted look* PLEASE don't talk about that. The only reason I drew it was because I have to. It's worth a GRADE and it's all icky!!! You know Gennia drew my portrait and I turned out looking like Krunchy?!!! Ewww!!! *shudder*

Krunchy: *wide-eyed* UGH!!!

Zalari: My, the sisters make interesting noises...

Krispy: What is up with you Yuya? Did you have some awful traumatizing childhood? Is that why you're so mean and stuff? Is that why you don't want love and happiness? How can you not want happiness? Everyone wants to be happy!!! *latches onto Yuya* WHY WON'T YOU BE HAPPY!!! DAMNIT!!! I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY!!! WOOYA!!! COME HERE!!!

Wing: *grimace* omg...she's going to die.

Steph: What has gotten into her?

Obi-Wan: Anakin, start digging.

Anakin: *already digging* Way ahead of you Master.

Zalari: What? You sensed all of this thru the Force?

Obi-Wan: No. When she started acting strangely--

Anakin: We knew something was coming...

Steph: WAIT!!! You want IT to be happy?!!! NO NO NO!!!

Krispy: YUYA!!! WHY DANG IT?!!!

Wing: You're very nosy, you know that.

Krispy: NO! Just curious. *unlatches herself and backs off* Sorry...er...spur of the moment thing but...I do wanna know. Was it some troubling childhood? Was it a tragic past? Or have you so completely lost faith in the world? Perhaps you never had faith in the world to begin with? Then, what exactly is the point of your existence? Are you unhappy because everyone hates you? Or because people are trying to kill you? Are you happy that people hate you? Do you derive some sadistic pleasure from not giving the rabbit Trix?!

Steph: WHAT?!!!

Luce: Silly rabbit! Trix are for kids!

Krispy: SADISTIC SADISTIC KIDS!!! The same ones who hound the poor Lucky Charms leprechaun who's just trying to protect his property!!! WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?!!!

Anakin: Um...what does cereal have to do with Yuya?

Krispy: I dunno...Yuya? Do you want some Trix? I can get you some Trix! Or how about some Lucky Charms? Cheerios? Frosted Flakes? Honey-nut Cheerios? Apple Jacks? Corn Pops? Wheaties? Cookie Crisp? Cinnamon Toast Crunch? Kix? Berry Kix? Corn Flakes? ABC'S? Fruit Loops? Flintstone's Pebbles? Honey Oat Crunch? Banana Nut Crunch? CoCo Puffs? Star Wars Episode 2 cereal????

Steph: I don't think IT wants cereal...

Krispy: Do you want Stephanie to stop calling you IT??!!! Do you want her to tell you her long and sad past when she used to be an emotionless rock?!!!

Steph: HEY?!!! What are you getting me into?!!! KRISPY!!!

Krispy: Well? What do you want? Do you want Firalaer to stop bugging you? Do you want Alz to stop bugging you? Do you want me to stop bugging you? And if the latter is what you want, I'm sorry. I can't do that because I must know. I MUST KNOW!

Zalari: And why exactly MUST you?

Krispy: BECAUSE I DO!!! DO NOT QUESTION ME!

Zalari: Now, you are somewhat frightening.

Wing: Somewhat...

Krispy: Do you want Wooya to go away? Well, that can't happen either. He's the only one that can make you happy and loved. Right Wooya?

Wooya: LOVE AND HAPPINESS!!!

Krispy: *laugh* He's so Good-Hearted!

Obi-Wan: Alz, I suggest you stop tormenting her. Look at what it's caused.

Steph: *singing song currently stuck in Krispy's head* Do you expect me to believe, I was the only one to fall. I can feel, I can feel you near me. Even though you're far away. I can feel, I can feel you, baby. Why? It's not supposed to feel this way. I need you. I need you. More and more each day. It's not supposed to hurt this way. I need you. I need you. I need you. Tell me. Are you and me still together? Tell me. You think we can last forever? Tell me. Why.

Krispy: WAIT! *stare at Firalaer* YOU SCHOOLED WITH WITH---WITH--

Anakin: Oh no. She's becoming incoherent...

Steph: WITH IT?!!!!!!!!! *points at Yuya*

Krispy: Thanks Steph.

Steph: *shrug* No problem.

Krispy: I think...u know...everytime I think about this...everytime I glance over that blog...I...I...

Wing: Fall more and more in shock.

Zalari: And become more and more incoherent.

Obi-Wan: KRISPY! You need to finish your work lest you fall even further behind in math!

Krispy: But but...everything is so...unresolved and...hanging...hanging...*getting a frantic, deer-in-headlights look*

Steph: Eh...that's not good.

Krispy: ALZ!!! I've friggin FALLEN off the CLIFF and am hanging by my fingernails!!!!

Steph: Oh how you love to use that metaphor.

Krispy: HECK! I'm hanging by my teeth at this point and if you don't do something about this soon--

Steph: Well, you know Krispy's history with cliffs...

Zalari: Especially their jagged, rocky bottoms...

Krispy: *suddenly snaps out of it* I just had a thought--

Anakin: Do miracles never cease?

Obi-Wan: If you do not finish soon, you will come to regret this.

Krispy: *glare at Anakin*then turn to Obi-Wan and smiles* I regret a lot of things...later... Anyway, I named Erida wrong. She should Eris.

Steph: Pray explain yourself.

Krispy: "Erida" is the goddess of hate. "Eris" is the goddess of discord. I believe Erida caused more discord in her dealings with you Wing than hate really. That just was kinda added in there I suppose? Well, it's too late to change it now. I'll just...be more careful next time.

Anakin: Discord, hate...all related.

Obi-Wan: Back to work. NOW!

Krispy: Yes Master!

Obi-Wan: *wince* Please, stop shouting...do you realize how loud you are?

Zalari: *similar expression* I believe she does...teenybopper moments and all...Krispy, please remember that some of us have better hearing than human hearing and...thus...your voice is somewhat...amplified...

Krispy: NOT HUMAN!!! HE FRIGGIN ISN'T HUMAN!!!!!!!!!!!

Steph: You know, I think I've lost any keen sense of hearing that I may have possessed BECAUSE of your inclination toward SHOUTING EVERYTHING RIGHT NEXT TO MY EAR!!! IT'S A WONDER I'M NOT DEAF!!!

Obi-Wan: Nervous breakdown?

Anakin: I think so...

Krispy: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! VIBRATING MANATEE!!!

Wing: WHAT?!!!

Luce: Brian and the vibrating manatee!!!

Krispy: OMG! And Firalaer saved me!!!!! *squeak*

Steph: I've found ever since Firalaer showed up that you emit the most...interesting sounds...

Krispy: And BLEH to you Yuya! HA! GO WOOYA!!! I'm so good...

Steph: You know, I find that very weird about you. You always say you suck but after you've completed something satisfactorily you compliment yourself. I mean, what's up with that?

Krispy: *calmly* I rock. It's a given.

Zalari: Where did this sudden confidence come from?

Krispy: Let me give you an example of the music I'm listening to right now. *starts singing* I don't give a damn. I don't give a damn. I don't give a damn. What you say about that. You know I don't give a damn. I don't give a damn. What you say about that. You know I'm not gonna cry about some stupid guy. A guy who thinks he's all that.

Zalari: I see.

Anakin: Um...empowering...I suppose...

Steph: *joins in* You went to all your friends to brag. Guys are always such a drag. Don't you know the reason that I kissed you was to say goodbye.

Together: I don't give a damn. I don't give a damn. I don't give a damn. What you say about that. You know I don't give a damn. I don't give a damn. What you say about that. You know I'm not gonna cry about some stupid guy. A guy who thinks he's all that. I don't give a damn about you. I won't give it, I'm not for you...

Obi-Wan: Interesting...

Anakin: Eck...

Krispy: *abruptly stops* ALZ!!! CLIFFHANGER?!!! WHY?!!! Today I even resolved the suicide scene because you got me all thinking about it!!! ARGH!!! I wasn't even in the MOOD to write something depressing!!! I wanted to write something...nice...

Steph: HA!

Krispy: Hey! I didn't stab you or anything in that scene I posted it.

Steph: I have a huge headache in that scene. DUDE! I can't even STAND! Do you know how disoriented and FREEZING I was in that scene?!!!!

Krispy: Er...Zalari gave you his cloak?

Steph: *stare*

Krispy: Ok ok...but it was...nice. *smile*

Steph: Right...

Krispy: But Alz!!! That was so mean. NOT HUMAN?!!! What kind of BOMBSHELL is that?!!!

Anakin: Why is it that this whole place is populated by non-humans?

Wing: What do you mean? You're human. You're master's human. Er...Sseriya is more human than anything else now. Silverfall is human. And all the writers are human.

Krispy: I'm not human.

Wing: Perhaps disillusioned humans in denial of their humanity, but they ARE human.

Krispy: Kangaru, Wing. Get it straight.

Wing: No. Human.

Krispy: Wing...*voice suddenly changing* "If you do not kill me, Wing. I shall surely destroy you all."

Wing: *stiffen* All right, oh-so-mighty Authoress, I defer.

Krispy: *smile* Good.

Steph: Abuse of powers! Despotism!!! Tyrrany!!!

Krispy: Back off colonial sewer trash!

Zalari: Can you two not start this again?

Obi-Wan: I believe it has been established that the Revolution is over and that Stephanie won.

Steph: HA! Obi-Wan's on MY side!

Krispy: Off with her head!

Steph: WHAT THE FRELL!!!

Krispy: *cough* Sorry. Er...Alz...*smile* Please be nice and explain yourself because I think I'm still in shock right now and who knows how long it will last...and you did CLIFFHANGERS!!! UNFAIR!!! I had resolved scenes!!! Or well--granted that the one I posted may raise a few questions but that's a given!!!

Steph: So...that's all we have to say.

Krispy: Right...for now cuz I have to do my work. And again...FIRALAER'S NOT HUMAN?!!!! HOLY SHEET!!!

Krunchy: Er...he's not human? *shrug* I already knew that.

Krispy: How did you already know that?!! Heck! You haven't even introduced yourself to him yet!!!

Krunchy: Cuz...his name. Of course he isn't human.

Everyone: ???????!!!!!!

Krunchy: What? Everyone else with weird names isn't human.

Krispy: Obi-Wan has a weird name and he's HUMAN!!! Anakin has a weird name and he's HUMAN!!!

Krunchy: Well Obi-Wan has midi-chlorian thingy's and that's not human. And Anakin has midi-chlorian thingys and became a ro--

Krispy: *jump on krunchy* NOOOOOO!!!

Anakin: *very annoyed and frustrated* WHAT?!!! What do I become?!!! TELL ME!!! I will find out!!!

Krispy: You become a rower--u know that rows boats...

Steph: That was lame.

Krispy: *glare* Shut up.

Krunchy: See. Not human.

Krispy: YOU have a weird name and YOU'RE HUMAN!!!

Krunchy: You do too! Besides, it's not as weird as "Obi-Wan" and stuff! And, um...I'm a droid. *beep*

Krispy: WOOYA!!! It's okay! YOU don't cause death! That's Sweet and Low!!!

Obi-Wan: *clears throat* Actually, Sweet and Low has not been proven to directly cause death. It says that it may cause cancer.

Krispy: Ha! Me no nightmares? Were you not paying attention to me when I--

Wing: right...did it to yourself. Don't do that again. It's a bit...disturbing.

Anakin: A bit?

Wing: VERY disturbing.

Anakin: Much better.

Krispy: But but--man...Wooya!!! Perk up and ignore Yuya! Sugar is good! Have you seen me at Calphil?

Steph: OMG...*shakes head*

Krispy: I eat sugar by the packet! Come on! And I'm still friggin alive!!!

Wing: Insane...

Anakin: But alive.

Obi-Wan: You really shouldn't do that though...

Krispy: Yeah! At Calphil I have like 3 cups of Mocha Blast with whipped cream and chocolate, a fruit smoothie, AND packets of sugar. I'm so serious. I just like to eat packets of sugar.

Steph: She smokes them too--

Krispy: Yeah I--WAIT! NO I DON'T!!! That's GINA!!!

Anakin: *trying not to laugh* Chain smoking sugar packets!

Krispy: I DO NOT DO THAT!!! I eat sugar. I don't smoke it. Oh right...and I drink so much soda that I'll probably die of aluminum poisoning or something...

Obi-Wan: Do you see why she is permanently hyperactive?

Krispy: I AM NOT! You guys are such exaggeraters!!!

Zalari: Really now?

Krispy: EEP! You're back! *attacks him*

Zalari: *side-steps her* Yes. I am.

Krispy: *already back on the topic of food* OMG! You know I got chocolate chip cookies today?

Steph: *brightens* You did?

Krispy: They are like so good...

Zalari: Weren't you comforting the bear?

Krispy: Right...so you see Wooya? You're not going to kill people! And besides, its not like marshmellows are the only things that give people cavities and stuff. Krunchy deals with cavaties and she doesn't even LIKE marshmellows!!!

Krunchy: *glare* Thanks...

Krispy: So cheer up! You're sugary because you bring happiness and love. Sugar is sweet...u know it all goes together. Sugar puts people in a happy mood.

Anakin: I seriously think she has mental problems.

Wing: I thought you thought that a LONG time ago.

Anakin: Yes, this only confirms it.

Zalari: You haven't even seen what's in some of those back closets in her head...

Wing: Is that where you've been?

Zalari: *shrug* Perhaps...

Steph: *smile* Sneaky...

Krispy: Oh and by the way Zalari, Stephanie missed you. *smile*

Steph: *death glare*

Zalari: Really?

Krispy: Yes and she does lo--

Steph: *jumps her*

Krispy: OW!!!

Zalari: Krispy, are you spreading rumors again?

Krispy: No! Ok ok ok...yes...sorta...well it's not totally out of the ball park!

Obi-Wan: Sports analogy...

Krispy: AND I WANT TO KNOW FIRALAER'S IMMUNITY TO YUYA!!! Is it available to be purchased?!!!

Everyone: *Stare*

Krispy: What? Wouldn't that come in handy?

Everyone: Purchase immunity?

Krispy: Eck...leave me alone...hey Steph, you know, you used to sound like Yuya.

Steph: *choke*gag*

Obi-Wan: *patting her on the back* Calm down. Are you all right?

Steph: *coughing* Fine...fine...*waves him off*...WHAT THE FRELL KRISPY?!!! Do not compare me to IT!!! *throws a fireball at her*

Krispy: *ducks it* Haha...now u sound like Firetail AND Yuya!

Wing: She does have a death wish...

Steph: Would you care to explain yourself, *sweetly* my dearest other self?

Krispy: Um...*stupid grin* No...

Steph: ARGH! COME HERE!!! *lunges at her*

Krispy: *moves just out of reach and bolts* Nope!

Steph: WHY YOU--*starts chasing her*

Obi-Wan: *mildly surprised* I was not aware that Krispy could run so fast...

Anakin: Yeah...she's...fast.

Krispy: *stops* WAIT! Okay! I'll explain!!!

Steph: *stops short* Go ahead...

Krispy: *cough* And I quote, "Love is a fickle thing. Emotions are a weakness, and I can afford none."

Steph: *blink*

Krispy: Or how about, "Love is a weakness. Hate is strength. Anger is power. And Beauty is a weapon."

Steph: Okay okay. You made your point. I was really really really dumb back then.

Krispy: No no! Not at all really. Actually there's much truth in that. It all depends on your point of view. Heck, beauty is a weapon and you had it honed to a very sharp point.

Steph: *smile* It's just unfortunate that human beauty doesn't have as much effect in the eyes of the dragons I so often dealt with.

Krispy: *shrug* Well, you can't win them all!

Steph: But ewwww...I sound like---IT!!! *shudder*whining* ZALARI!!! MAKE IT GO AWAY!!!

Zalari: Right...

Krispy: Oh but on a lighter note--because I'm feeling oh-so-generous...here's a short little posty I wrote last night. That's why it's so short and I'm not really sure what this is at this point but...here u are...ALZ! I'll be expecting a post. And this is not a cliff-hanger!!!

----------

The tavern-inn was a fairly decent place, Zalari decided. Or at least, no one had questioned their semi-awkward entrance. Sseriya had been drifting between wakefulness and unconsciousness, her steps unstable and movements uncharacteristically graceless. She had needed his full support just to remain upright.

Perhaps they all believe she is drunk.

Zalari smiled at the thought. How ridiculous would that be? Well, it seemed fortune was not entirely against them this night. He had been able to secure a room for the two of them; one room because the inn only had one to offer and because he wanted to keep an eye on his surly companion. Despite the clandestine agreement between them, Sseriya still acted something just short of rude and hostile towards him. The Bronze prince shook his head. These times were trying, and she probably just had other problems on her mind.

As the drake returned to the table where he had left the girl, the sight of her caused a look of concern to cross his face. Sseriya sat hunched forward, brow furrowed as if in deep concentration. What alarmed him most were the violent tremors that ran through her every few seconds and how her skin was tinged the pale blue of winter frost. Zalari quickly removed his cloak and wrapped it around her shoulders. He felt her stiffen at his touch, but she soon relaxed again. Sseriya’s eyes remained closed as Zalari secured the cloak more securely about her. Finally, she looked up at him, the fire of the candle on the table reflected in her eyes. It took a moment for her to recognize him and to realize the presence of the cloak. With faint surprise, the Emerald princess almost nervously clutched at it, fidgeting with the hem.

“I’ll bring you something warm to eat,” Zalari said, leaving to find a server. She stared at him without speaking, but as he left, the Bronze prince was surprised to hear Sseriya call his name. It was the first time she had not addressed him by title. He turned to her. At first she avoided eye contact seemingly contemplating something, but then those golden eyes, so much like his own, returned their gaze to his face.

“Thank you.” The words were soft-spoken, and maybe even gentle. Zalari smiled in answer. The girl quickly looked away as if she weren’t sure of the words that had left her lips. The Bronze prince left, feeling much better than he had at the outset of this journey. Sseriya shrugged deeper into the warm folds of the cloak.

Krispy: Back to the subject of guys...

Obi-Wan: Don't you still have much unfinished?

Krispy: Yes, but tomorrow is Wednesday and it's not that much...

Anakin: Let's see what you say when it's 2 and ur not done.

Krispy: Back off Brat-Child. Anyway, right guys...first off...Sincere!!!! But...haven't met him yet. Second, Yuilor? But doesn't he and Ciel...eck...I won't even ask...then there's Wing. As Aegis put it BIRD!

Wing: *deciding to keep quiet*

Krispy: No offense. But you know, it's hard to be obsessed over your own characters. Wing, your cute but I just don't have the overwhelming desire for you to *shrug* I dunno--touch my foot or for me to steel your shoes, you know?

Wing: Thank the gods for that.

Krispy: So same thing applies to Zalari but u see there's no point there because he still loves Sseriya who may or may not have loved him back--SHEEZ STEPH! The least you could do was make up your mind!!!

Steph: BLEH!

Krispy: And um...Firetail...well he already stated his position on this matter...

Anakin: What about that Nick guy? You didn't mention him before.

Krispy: *thinks* Nick is single now and um...OMG! Gennia just showed me this wonderful picture!!! *sigh* Oh...he's looking good again but um...I dunno...Nick is so out of reach and--

Steph: *off-handedly* He's evil.

Krispy: Yeah and that. I already have an entire organization dedicated to hunting him down and exposing to the world his true evilness.

Obi-Wan: Intersting.

Anakin: Right...

Krispy: *sigh* And Firalaer...OMG! He's MODEST too!!! That's it. Steph, get the glass boxes.

Steph: *smile* My pleasure...

Wing: Oh no. Now she's serious...

Krispy: Oh by the way Yuya, Wooya is still headed toward you wanting to give you LOVE and HAPPINESS.

Steph: *smirk* And I'm not sure if I can put him back to sleep...

Obi-Wan: I am truly beginning to doubt your being on the Light Side of things.

Anakin: Beginning to doubt? Master, I think they were Dark from the start of this.

Krispy: No, just a little off, not Dark. After all, I'm Jedi.

Anakin: Questionable.

Wing: A little off? What an understatement.

Krispy: Don't you feel better now that you've reconciled yourself with D'Capisette?

Steph: AH! What the heck?!!! Where did you come from?

Krispy: Oh sorry. Did I surprise you? This thought just occured to me.

Steph: Go finish your work! Then come back and rant at me all you want.

Krispy: Ok then.

Krispy: This sucks...

Steph: What sucks? A lot of things suck...but today seems to be a good day for you, so why should anything "suck"?

Wing: You keep good tabs on her, don't you?

Steph: It's my job. You know, I never noticed how empty it is without Zalari--

Krispy: AAAAAWWWWWW!!! You miss him!

Steph: *immediately defensive* I said no such thing. I was going to say--

Krispy: No you weren't! How cute!!!

Steph: *blink* Er...no. Besides, he's the only person out of our original group to not be here. I was merely observing that--

Krispy: You do love him!

Steph: *stare*

Anakin: Wow, you shocked her into silence.

Krispy: *sigh* How sweet! It's about time!

Steph: I do not--I...no...STOP IT!!!

Obi-Wan: *amused* Krispy, stop spreading rumors about your split personality.

Steph: *cough* ANYWAY, what sucks?

Krispy: Why is it all the cute guys are taken?

Wing: Expand?

Krispy: Ok...there's the one and only Ewan who is married. Christian is head-over-heels in love with Satine. Robert has Celine. Grimes is married. The Eye is obsessed with some killer woman. Obi-Wan is sworn into the friggin Jedi Order. Various BSB people are married or engaged or have girlfriends. And the oh-so-perfect Firalaer likes Ciel!!! ooohhh...I'm jealous!

Anakin: The green-eyed monster rears its ugly head.

Obi-Wan: Well put, Padawan.

Steph: Well, life is unfair like that.

Krispy: And you!

Steph: Me?

Krispy: Yes you!!! Happily married to Brian and with Zalari still hanging off your every word and then heck! There's even Wing who u don't get along with BUT nonetheless is HERE and is one of your FRIENDS!!!

Wing: Er...okay...

Steph: *smirk* Hey, you're the writer. Who am I, a mere character, to oppose you?

Krispy: *growl*

Steph: I can top that.

Krispy: Unfair! Dragon!

Steph: Lobster-back!

Krispy: *gasp* You didn't! Traitorous colonial back-country sewer scum!

Steph: Stuck-up snobbish imperialistic Tory!

Krispy: Brutish buckskin savages!

Steph: I spit on your stamps!

Krispy: I take your charter rights!

Steph: *gasp* I'm invading Canada!

Steph: You're back so soon?

Krispy: You know an awful lot about the Revolution, Steph.

Steph: *shrug* I used to be a pretty good military thinker. It is wise to study old battles, especially one with such great odds. Who knew the Americans would win!

Krispy: Heh...anyway, I came back to note...THAT WAS A CLIFFHANGER!!! ALZ!!! How mean! You've done more cliffhangers than the rest of us COMBINED!!!

Wing: She wishes to torture you like that.

Krispy: But that's mean...and um...why the heck does Firalaer seem immune to Yuya. I mean the rest of us have been threatened and well Silverfall was even attacked...and yet look at Firalaer go! YOU ROCK MAN!!!

Obi-Wan: Krispy, really. It's the first month of school and you cannot continue missing your first period class.

Krispy: Alas, the Jedi is correct. Thank you Master Kenobi. I shall leave, but--*looks around* Where did your bratty Padawan go?

Anakin: I heard that!

Krispy: Ah! There you are! Well then, I'm out.

Krispy: THAT WAS SO WONDERFUL!!!

Steph: I guess I don't need the Minute--*stares at Wooya*

Anakin: *also staring at Wooya* Can marshmellow bears breathe upside down in water?

Obi-Wan: You mean underwater?

Wing: I don't...think so...

Steph: OMG! SAVE THE BEAR!!!

Krispy: *screeches* BEAR!!! WOOYA!!! *grabs Steph* WAKE HIM UP!!!

Steph: Are you serious?!!!

Krispy: CAN'T LET BEAR DROWN!!! AGAINST MY MORALS!!!

Wing: You have morals?

Krispy: Few and strange but YES I DO!!!

Steph: Um...okay...*snaps*

Wooya: *wakes up underwater*

Krispy: WOOYA!!! Your twin needs some love and happiness NOW!!! ON THE DOUBLE!!!

Obi-Wan: Krispy, I do not think that was wise.

Wing: You have a death wish don't you?

Anakin: No, she's just insane.

Wooya: *clambers out of pool, taking a large amount of water with him* LOVE AND HAPPINESS!!!

Krispy: Yep! Right on over there, say hi to Firalaer but Yuya really needs you. I think you're finally having an effect. Yuya seems to actually have a heart.

Steph: *rude noise*gets rid of pool*

Wooya: *heads on over to Yuya*

Wing: You set the beast among us.

Krispy: Yeah well...cry havoc and let loose the hounds of war.

Steph: Alexander the Great?

Krispy: Yep. Now, Alz, WHAT DID YOU SAY TO FIRETAIL!!! I'm SO OUT OF THE LOOP!!!

Obi-Wan: Then learn the language.

Krispy: *stare* I can't just learn a language!

Wing: *smirk* Dragons can. They have the gift of tongues.

Krispy: *rounds on Steph*

Steph: Oh no...*backs away* I've never had that supposedly inherent talent! Probably because I'm half human or maybe because of other things like Selendrile but--no. I have no talent for languages...

Krispy: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!!! How the heck did you negotiate treaties when you--

Steph: My dearest other self, my brother deals with the talking and I deal with the fighting. If you mean among the Dragon Clans, well, that's my native language. Naturally, I speak it.

Krispy: BUT BUT--I WANNA KNOW!!!

Obi-Wan: Krispy, watch your time.

Krispy: Argh! WORK! I want in on the secrets and yes Firetail, there are many fire people in here--

Steph: You may want to explain about the certain king guy that seems to have already gained a fandom?

Krispy: Oh him...hah...well he has a twin brother and um...thatz all. *smile* Luce knows a bit about it but u know, I need to keep my own secrets. Besides, he wouldn't show up here because a lot of complicating things would insue and plot twists would most likely slip and well...

Wing: *sour expression* I don't like him...either of them...

Steph: *teasingly* Oh, but Wing! You don't like the Black Knight either?

Wing: *glare* You should talk...Fire.

Steph: *shrug* You're right. I should keep my trap shut.

Wing: ESPECIALLY in the case of Erida? Am I not correct?

Obi-Wan: Yes, I thought they liked the British as well.

Steph: Ha! *throws Wooya into a pool where he succeeds staying asleep and floats* I throw your monopolized bears into the sea!

Wing: *amused* Boston Tea Party...

Krispy: *gasp* That's it! I've had it with you "buckskins"! I pass the Close Boston Port Act!

Steph: *gasp* You did NOT just close my port!!!

Krispy: You bet I did illiterate back-country trash!

Steph: Pompous lobsterback! Nonimportation! Boycott of your tainted goods!

Krispy: I revoke your royal charter!

Steph: I burn your effigies and tear down your statues to make bullets!

Krispy: Send in the Royal Army!

Steph: Martial law! I tar and feather your tax collectors! No taxation without representation!

Krispy: I pass the Repression Act!

Steph: The "Intorlerable" Acts! I call for a Continental Congress and vouch for independence. Give me liberty or give me death!

Krispy: I demand obedience! To war!

Steph: I demand independence! To war!

Anakin: Er...I have a feeling this is a lot more than just a fight...

Obi-Wan: I believe it has something to do with the history of the country they live in.

Wing: Do you pay attention to her classes?

Obi-Wan: A Jedi is always seeking knowledge.

Anakin: There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.

Steph: *smirk* And guess who ultimately wins? ME!!!

Krispy: Yeah, with the help of the snooty French and must I remind you that D'Capisette happens to come from there!

Steph: *rude noise* I won the war, got the good side of the bargain in the Treaty of Paris, PLUS you recognized me to be my own independent nation.

Krispy: *smile* But who's got all the hot British guys now? *hugs Obi-Wan*

Steph: He's not British!

Krispy: Yes...but Ewan is. *smile*

Steph: BLEH to you!

Krispy: And so is *english accent* my dear Duke of Kent.

Steph: You're just bitter cuz I won out and now I'm the most powerful nation in the world! Besides, I got Grimes.

Krispy: Christian is mine. He's English. And omg! Stephanie! You asked D'Capisette for aid?

Steph: *snappishly* HEY! I, as in the U.S., received aid from France, not D'Capisette. Besides, Christian may be English but he's in FRANCE!

Wing: Somehow this is no longer accurate history.

Anakin: Well if you look at it in the fictional-relating-a-story sense, they're right on target.

Obi-Wan: Krispy, breaks over.

Krispy: Okay. Alz! I expect a post! Don't make me pass an "Intolerable Act" on you! Or send in my lobsterbacks!

Steph: You see! It's utter tyrrany!!! Well, not really since Alz rarely listens to you so in that case, I shall add to your cause. I'll send in Minutemen or more modernly Task Force Ranger and Delta! POST OR DIE!!!

Obi-Wan: Then what are you doing here?

Krispy: Regretting that I posted...I could have held back and just...used this same scene some other time...

Steph: *sly smile* You could always take it down...

Krispy: *considers* Ok so I'm assuming Luce read it already but thatz alrite cuz she's my partner...but Alz...

Anakin: What if she already read it?

Krispy: Yeah...there's that. And I should send this to Joyce lest she finds out and kills me...

Obi-Wan: You don't exactly have time.

Krispy: That. *looks around* Where's Zalari?

Wing: He decided to take that offer you gave him about a break. Something about having a huge headache and just wanting to be home?

Nerilay: Could take no more from them, she thinks. Yes? Although, Nerilay should leave as well. She serves no function here. *smile* I enjoyed seeing Fire again and spending time with the bird. They are all very strange, these foxes and those humans and that marshmellow bear and Nerilay's fellow sea-dweller? Yes. I shall visit soon, she thinks. But for now, farewell! *vanishes in a spirt of sea-spray*

Krispy: Oh no! My numbers are dwindling!!!

Steph: As if you don't have enough people. Heh...

Krispy: Anyway, what do you think of tall guy with silver hair and green eyes?

Steph: *suspicious* Why?

Krispy: Because...

Wing: That could be a number of people but its sounding awfully familiar like...someone I know.

Krispy: *smile* Remember Lorain?

Wing: The royal House of Lorain?

Steph: As in the City-State?

Krispy: *nods* Yep. One and the same.

Steph: OMG...

Wing: Force, no...

Anakin: You really are being affected by us, aren't you? Unless, the Force is existent in your world as well?

Wing: I suppose the Force exists everywhere just in different forms.

Obi-Wan: Very likely.

Steph: You mean the King guy with silver hair and "eyes the rich green of Silvra's forests" guy?!

Krispy: Who else would I be talking about?

Steph: Like Wing said, that could have been a description of any number of people!

Krispy: I suppose...

Wing: As in the Twins of Lorraine?

Krispy: You are correct, my good sir.

Wing: What about them?!

Krispy: I don't know. Just wanted to see if I was properly filling your head with memories is all. I'm sure you remember now. *smile*

Wing: *glare* Of course I remember because it all leads back to--

Steph: *softly* Erida of Lorraine...the mercenary.

Krispy: *cheerfully* Yep. Okay well, now that I'm done playing with both your minds, I'm gonna go back to properly doing my notes.

Obi-Wan: So that you can get some sleep.

Krispy: Right. *suddenly thinks of something* Why are you Jedi never curious about any of this?

Anakin: Because we're Jedi and we've given up hope of prying information out of you.

Obi-Wan: *knowing smile* Or simply because I've made myself very familiar with the "creative" parts of your mind and may have taken a few peeks.

Steph: Something I MUST say, yes. Something I'd LIKE to say, no.

Zalari: And in the forest, no one will hear you scream.

Everyone: *stare*

Zalari: Sorry. I just really wanted to say that. Look at how you've affected me Krispy.

Krispy: Yeah. I'm starting to think you need a break from us. I don't want you to be turning pessimistic and resentful like Wing.

Wing: His character is pretty well established whereas mine is still pretty moldable and you won't send ME away for MY own good?

Sseriya: I have decided--

Krispy: Wait! Why are you...I...*whining* SSERIYA!!!

Sseriya: I have much better control this way. What I must say is to Monsieur D'Capisette. I have acted...appallingly and I do not wish to apologize for that but, I will make an effort to be more civil toward you. After all, the object of my eternal hatred at this point and time is...that creature. And, Firalaer, I do apologize to you for my hysterical babbling last night.

Krispy: You really creep me out, you know.

Steph: *smirk* I know.

Krispy: Er...right...so I will leave to art class--

Firalaer: Lady Krispy, I believe you made a bargain last night?

Krispy: Ok posting...

----------

The passage of a few days found Sseriya riding hard west to Atalanta, ruled by the Blue Dragon; only there would she be able to find Lords Black and Storm out of their homelands. With what had happened, entering their home turf was not what she wanted to do. A Council of Kings was being held by Dragon King Blue, and as always, Lord Emerald had been invited. The girl often wondered why the other Kings bothered with sending for her father. He and the other rulers of Jewel Clans rarely attended.
She glanced over her shoulder at the forbidding mountains that guarded the Ice Dragon’s domain. A chill ran through her as if the frost of that kingdom could reach her even here. The Ice and Crystal Clans unsettled Sseriya. Now, those two Clans were secretive. Any recollection of Crystal drakes in her mind was from books. But what troubled her more at the moment were the mists that shrouded those peaks. It expands…She pushed her mount faster.

Nothing dared delay her journey as her chestnut horse splashed through the swamps and wet plains of this region. They knew better than to get in the way of this particular rider. All the creatures could sense the ancient power that flowed in this one’s veins.

Sseriya pulled the hood of her emerald cloak up. Having hair slapped in her face by the wind was becoming irksome. The cloak billowed behind her like huge emerald wings outstretched.

Her steed did not falter when the footing suddenly became slippery as opposed to the muck they had just gone through. In fact, the horse’s hooves seemed to take to this ground as easily as it did on a fast track. The maiden leaned forward and crooned encouragements in the fine ear of the animal. She had trained this mare to be her travel mount. With a little application of magic to the terrain on Sseriya’s part, the horse had no problem finding good footing. They were making incredible time.


The girl waited on the beach impatiently for the boatman to arrive. Dragon King Blue’s dwelling happened to partly be an underwater cavern; an excellent defense really but not to Sseriya’s taste. Hoping she would be able to find her horse when she was done and cursing the coldness, she pulled her cloak more securely around her. A breeze coursed down the beach, scribbling in the sand. Normally, Sseriya would have found some enjoyment in being by the sea, but not now when she had to speak with the Council. Speaking among haughty Dragon Kings was hardly her favorite thing to do. That’s when she realized her stupidity. The boatman would not be coming because the Kings were in Council already! Sseriya bit back a hiss and roughly imposed her will on the boatman. He would come to her.

Through the gray gauze of early morning, the boatman slowly became visible, a dark specter floating on the waves. The thing was dressed in dripping rags, seaweed tangled about him. Skeletal fingers clutched bloodlessly to the one oar. It could be a spelled corpse, she thought, suddenly more wary. The boatman was definitely not happy for having been so rudely summoned and brought here without its consent.

“I am Sseriya of the Emerald Clan. I seek audience with the Council in place of my father, Lord Emerald,” she stated plainly. You will not deny me, servant of Blue.

The thing consented with an exhale of breath, the sound of sailors releasing their hold on life. It allowed her to board the small vessel which tipped a little under her weight but stayed afloat nonetheless. Sseriya wrinkled her nose at the distinct smell of salt and fish coming from the boatman. They pushed away from shore. Had there been someone to witness their departure, he would say he had seen a girl descend to the Underworld across the river of Death.


Not too long later, they reached a dark rip in the side of the cliff, and the current gently pushed the dinghy in. Sseriya blinked, letting her eyes adjust to the dim lighting. She noticed lanterns hanging in the area around the landing. Probably for the other Kings. The light gave the cavern an eerie shine, something much like looking at the sun from underwater. One could easily tell the pearly walls were the result of long years of erosion. The boat was pulled to the dock. Sseriya departed without a word to the boatman, and it went back into the depths.

Two drakes stood guard at the only entrance leading out of the landing area. They eyed her suspiciously but didn’t know what to make of her strange magical signature. She was drake but felt bizarrely human. When the Blue guards found cool amber orbs fixed on them, they realized exactly who she was. Despite their curiosity, they knew better than to delay her.

Sseriya entered a tunnel that was oddly lit in sparkles of aqua and peridot. She was even more amazed by the structure of the path. Rock slowly melded into some sort of transparent glass, giving the viewer a fantastic glimpse of underwater life. The glow of blue and green was produced naturally by bioluminescence. Magic kept the tiny organisms shimmering when they neared the windows. However, the Emerald princess had little time to enjoy the wonders of the ocean and continued on to the main courtroom where she met the Council of Dragon Kings.

They stared at her in surprise, all six of the rulers present; each a magnificent modification of the others. She strolled confidently up to them and placed herself in what would be her father’s spot.

“Daughter of Lord Emerald, welcome,” the Monarch of Atalanta said, puzzlement evident in his voice. The sea serpent decided to keep a wary, ever-changing eye on his unexpected guest. Sseriya, in turn, studied her host for another moment, taking in his different features. Of all the Clans, the Blue Clans deviated in appearance the most. Their dragon forms were longer and thinner, more streamlined. The finely built wings were more for skimming through water than cutting through air. Depthless blue, pearl-faceted scales let liquid slide off quickly but absorbed enough moisture to keep the coat so sleek. Sseriya thought the Blue Dragon to be beautiful indeed.

“Welcome? You,” spat Lord Red, magma practically oozing from his mouth, “do not belong here.” Four ebony horns rose from the top of the sculpted head that was more jaw than face. Disquieting pools of ink were narrowed in disdain. “This is a Council of the Kings. Lord Emerald should have come himself, not send an underling! Even our Dukes are not allowed to—”

One glance from remarkable golden eyes silenced the Red Dragon. Sseriya casually removed her cloak and regarded each dragon in the room. Lord Red was still glaring at her, just as Lord Blue was watching her. The Gold Dragon looked down on her condescendingly as he had always done, and Storm was as disinterested as usual. Black had a smug smile on his reptilian face directed at Red, and Bronze…

Her gaze lingered a bit longer on the Ruler of Ercidni. He seemed to be oddly interested in her. No matter, she was not intimidated by them and never had been. Ignoring the scrutiny, Sseriya smiled inwardly at this sight. One girl clothed in emerald and black among six formidable Dragon Kings, and she made every last one of them uncomfortable.

“Lord Emerald is absent due to some findings that are questionable to the health of his domain,” she paused, watching the facial expressions of each drake, “It is of these findings that I came here to speak about. If—” Sseriya gave Lord Red a pointed look, “If my lords would so graciously allow me to do so.”

There was no inflection in her voice, but they knew this was not unusual. They all shared a look before Blue nodded consent.

“There is an abnormal fog that has entered Silvra,” her gaze fell on Storm, “It has spread and continues to travel south. And—” She stopped. Lord Storm did not seem to notice her, his expression remaining aloof. Sseriya’s head was starting to hurt. Ever since her encounter with that…hole…Shaking herself out of it, she forcefully pushed on. “There are gaps. More and more, my Clan is finding either its magic obstructed or simply an entire lack of magic in certain areas of Silvra, namely near the Northern borders where the fog seems to be coming from.”

The drakes shifted, a muffled grumble coming from some of the reptilian bulks. Unsettled, a whispering began in the great chamber. It rose, echoing like the sound of water lapping the shore building upon itself layer by layer. Sseriya would have done something to quiet the din but the throbbing had returned. Mentioning the holes seemed to have triggered something. She winced, putting a finger to her temple. No one noticed.

“Lack of magic in Silvra? Every living thing in those forests possesses some enchantment!!!” roared the Gold Dragon. Thin, flexible cartilage crowned his narrow skull like a mane of feathers and trailed down the slender neck. These were now bristling in agitation.

“Disturbing,” mumbled the Blue Dragon.

“There is also—” But no one heard Sseriya’s soft comment before she grimaced. The pounding was getting worse. She hastily recomposed herself before raising her voice just enough to call some notice back to her. “Because it seems to be coming from your lands, Lord Storm and Lord Black, have you noticed anything unusual?”

Silence immediately filled the room at the blatant implication in the Emerald princess’ words. The Black Dragon’s sinister smile only widened, dagger-like teeth shining. He nearly purred his response.


“Fair Emerald, my lands are frequently enshrouded in semi-darkness.” Smoke curled from his nostrils. “I have noticed nothing strange.” The drake glanced at Storm. “What say you, brother Storm?”

Lightning blue orbs swirled as the Storm Dragon sat up on his haunches. The tail coiled around to the front of the leviathan, and he placed his forepaws lightly on top of it. Weather-worn wings were languidly stretched, creating distant thunder. His voice remained the slightly metallic coolness of an approaching rain.

“The tempests have moved as they always have, Princess. Although, I have heard rumors of these gaps at the ends of my borders,” he leaned forward, enormous head descending to her level. Storm exhaled, careful not to harm the slight individual. Sseriya was overcome by the scent of spring showers. “But I have not had the leisure to investigate. I will, if you so wish, fair Emerald.”

Sseriya held the other’s gaze with no readable expression. Finally, she bent her head in a nearly imperceptible nod. “The Emerald Clan would appreciate your inquiry, Lord Storm.”

“Has anyone else experienced oddities?” their host asked. Storm raised his head away from Sseriya.

The Bronze Dragon spoke. “My patrols have reported some strange migrations of birds, but that is all.” Amethyst pools locked on the girl standing among them. “I will surely let you know more, neighbor Emerald, as the information becomes available.”

“Then the Emerald Clan thanks you, Lord Bronze.” The Ruler of Ercidni kept watching the princess for longer than she would have liked. “Then, my lords, I must bid you farewell. Thank you for the audience.” With that said, Sseriya whirled, blonde pony-tail swishing behind her, and left. They listened to the clicking of her boots down the tunnel and then to the gentle plunk of the dinghy being boarded and put to sea. The quiet stretched over the dragons until it was broken by a hiss.

“Insolent halfling!” Red bellowed, claws digging into the glassy floor. The Gold Dragon shared similar sentiments.

“She had no right to attend the Council. Not even her blood Line justifies that!”

“She is still an inferior, Firedrake or not!” The ground sizzled from the lava spilling from the scarlet reptile’s maw.

“Exquisite eyes, those,” murmured Lord Bronze, gaining an agreement from the Monarch of Atalanta.

“And an extremely controlled personality,” he added. “Dangerously so…”

“Then is it no wonder why she is known to be what she is?” Black’s grin had never faded throughout the meeting. By now, the others were used to his mysterious sense of humor. Red and Gold grudgingly concurred with low growls.

“There is a saying that one sees the soul through the eyes,” Storm quietly remarked. The others looked at him curiously. Gold pulled himself to his full glittering height, pressing closer to his brethren.

“So tell me Brother, what did you see?” the drake asked, his Draconian the most mellifluous of all. But Storm’s expression only darkened and became somewhat grim. The misty gray of his scales dimmed and deepened to thundercloud black. The azure orbs grew more intense as his anxiety increased.
“I saw nothing…” There was a pause, and the others moved back, startled. “I saw nothing in those eyes except a sea of liquid fire.”
