Um, Dari also has a favorite pet, and it is a bludgeoner dragon, see the main art thread on the first page for a really bad drawing of it, and it will soon be posted about on Myths and Legends. :)

Um, also an important note. A keenthief is as big as a two story house. A bludgeoner dragon is as big as a castle. Just FYI.

Albero ~

We walk, in silence for quite some time. I can hear something, something large in the distance. Majnun is in one of his 'moods '. He's babbling, quietly, about nonsense.

"Bludgeon, Master, Imefungwe, run run Albero listen we can't stay must go go..."

things like that.

Abrany pauses. "I hear something," She says. I pause , listen. The crashing thing is louder now.

It's coming towards us, whatever it is.

"Let's get out of here before it finds us," I say.

" Agreed. " Abrany replies.  Majnun follows still muttering something.

A tree snaps not far away and crashes to the ground. This causes us to go from a quick trot to a run.

I steal a glance over my shoulder, and see a deadly dragon the size of a large fortress of castle.

"Oh Lunee, let's go!" I yell , and fear drives us forwards. The dragon didn't spot yet.

I heard the snap of trees being crushed as the monstrous thing turned towards us.

Then I felt, not really heard, a horrible, horrible screech. It slammed into my mind, and the world tilted. Darkness rushed up at the edge of my vision, and I tumbled. 

I think I was screaming.

Abrany has fallen too, and the two of us were tumbling away, in pain. Majnun hadn't fallen, and was racing after us, still muttering.

And then I caught a good look of it.

Dari~

I sniff the rabbit in front of me and turn away. Whoever thought I would fall for a deathberry trick is and idiot. I stop and wonder who would be that idiotic to poison my food. I shrug and turn to a massive cage before me. To white, pupiless but not blind eyes open. A deep, booming growl eminates from the darkness.

Hello, Master. How are you today? Is there anyone you would like me to kill?

"No, not yet anyway. But it is time for your patrol, and I know you love going on patrol." A huge mass wagged its tail like a dog.

Oh yes! Thank you good Master for letting me go on partol!

My lips curled upward in a malicious, sly smile. Silly beast. So much like a dog, and yet so dangerous. The perfect servant. I jumped up from the ground and alighted gingerly on a titanium bar the size around as a redwood one hundred years old.I jumped again with the same result, eventually coming even with a huge, thick lock. I strode up to it. The lock shivered and swung open. I'd been practising. If only Piiri could see me now. 

Piiri~

I vault over the wall, landing before Dari and Albero. Albero is on a chain, and Dari pulls on it maliciously.

"Tell me everything, or you'll be joining the Lays Mayit." Dari snarls. Albero shakes his head, jaws clamped shut. Dari growls and raises his claws. I scream and shoot forward. Dari stays his execution to look at the scream's source: me. He turns his wrist so that his claws face in my direction, but he promptly puts them down. He smiles and narrows his eyes. Suddenly, I feel a pressure on my mind, and I know it's Dari. In an instant Dari's eyes grow wide. I have not slowed since he launched his mental assault. I barrel into him and slash at the chain around Albero's neck. It falls apart as though it is stale bread instead of metal. Albero does not run, but he launches himself into the battle between myself and Dari. Albero shoves me aside and continues to fight Dari. Then, all is still. Albero has Dari, holding him tightly. Albero's jaws are open wide, ready to deliver the merciful killing bite. My eyes widen in fear as I realized it is a perfect copy of the battle between Dari and Quiki. I could not let that happen again.

"NOOOO!!" I was flying through the air. Albero closes his jaws and looks at me. At once, Dari's tail forms a barb and flies up, catching Albero by the throat. He releases Dari and lies there, dying. I collapse next to him, sobbing uncontrolably. Dari picks himself up and shakes the dirt off of his scales. He turns to me and smirks. He raises his barbed tail to strike me. I glare at him in defiance.

"You can't kill me. I'm carrying your secret weapon." I snarl. He makes an odd chuffing sound.

"I know, but I can rip it out of you and incubate it on pure dark magic." He smiles evilly.

"That's impossible." I retort. There are limits to magic.

"No it's not. You're dreaming. I can do anything in a dream." My gaze flicks to Albero's dead body. I'm in a dream. That's why he didn't heal himself. Relief floods through me. I shoot Dari a look filled with pure hatred and triumph. My tail forms a barb, and I plunge it into my chest.

I wake up with a triumphant roar. Twins usually have the same dreams, so that was the actual Dari. Too bad you can't kill someone in a dream...

~~

I am so sorry, this is kinda gory and I don't know where this is coming from, but it's really good and I think it would be funny for Dari and Piiri to refer back to this dream so I'm posting it anyway. 

I made it a bit less gory. I hope you understand.

Hey, people! There is one slot left to be a Blessed One! Take it or leave it! If there is not a new Blessed in one week either Sybill or I will make one. After that there will be no more Blessed Ones, but maybe a Blessed army... ANYWAY. Please guys! we need the last Blessed to show up! I do have an awesome power for the last Blessed to have if all else fails- an Analyst. The last Blessed would be albe to see three-dimesionally, have some sort of mental echolocation, and will be able to take anything apart in the most effective and (in some cases) lethal manner. They would be able to find the flaws in any structure and take advantage over it. They would have mental manipulation powers, meaning levitation, telopathic destruction, etc. *Goes off on a huge and very long tangent filled with extremely compicated words*

Piiri~

I stroke Evea's youthful cheek as she is curled up on her pelt beds. Of course, she can't feel it, but watching over her gives me something to do. I've already cleaned up all of the caves so that they are tidy in at least this dimension, sorted the herbs and other things that Albero gave to me, read the books in Abrany's cave, the scrolls in mine, memorized the maps on the skins I found in my cave, dug through all of the shelves in my cave, found some hidden compartments big enough for all of the Blessed to fit in, found secret tunnels leading away from my cave, walked through them for a while, decided to go back and check on Evea, and here I am now. I sighed and looked longingly at the marble dais outside. When will the others be back?

@Piiri

The new blessed that you planned sounds awesome. I think, though, that maybe it should be less OP. Maybe just an analyst, not all of the other stuff. I think it’s important for our characters not to be super powerful or over the top. I really like the idea, though. I had never thought of that.  

Piiri~

I walk through tunnels of rock, scanning the walls for I don't even know what. The sound of my claws on the cold, hard stone is the only thing in these tunnels besides myself for miles. I groan and open my wings. The tunnels are wide enough for me to fly in them normally, but I shift into a barn owl, one of the the quietest bird in flight. My wings make no noise as I glide through the passageways. My eyes narrow when I detect a low frequency, silent, it's more like a vibration, but it hangs in the air. Golden light permiates the darkness, beckoning me forward. Suddenly, the tunnel stops and I find myself in a huge cavern. In it stands six stone figures in the perfect likeness of each currently known Blessed. All of them have their heads bowed and their eyes closed. One of each of the doppelgangers' hands/claws/paws are over each of their hearts. Above each statue floats a plaque, bearing the name of the Blessed whose image is carved into the stones the plaques float over. I shift back into a dragon. The stone in my image, which had been a barn owl, also changes into a dragon. I cock an eyebrow. The stone Piiri is holding something over her heart. I walk over to her, and as soon as I am in armshot yet another change overtakes her. Her eyes open, revealing nuggets of silver. Her arm, with the sound of grating stone, moves from her chest and her claws unfurl, revealing a quartet of silver chains. I cock my head this time. The stone Piiri proceeds to wrap each of them once around all four of my ankles, closing them with a clasp so that there is no extra chain. Immediately after Stone Piiri closes the last clasp, I am crouching on the ground, my paws in front of me. They are made of stone, with silver chains wrapped around the ankles. I am in Stone Piiri.

~~ 

Piiri~

I stand there, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, Albero flies into the cavern. I am thrilled to see him, but my thoughts are too fast to discern what I want to do. Stone Albero hands him a key. He looks from the key, to the silver anklets, and back again. He kneels and puts the key to the clasp on one of the chains. I yank the paw away.

"No!" I shout. Albero jumps away from me, startled nearly out of his long, furlike scales. "Wait. Yes! Well, maybe." I stick my paw out to him. He warily sticks the key into the minute keyhole on the clasp. A terrible pain, like I was being shredded, ripped me from my senses. Then. I was standing in front of Albero. His eyes filled with tears and he through his paws around me. I could feel his body shaking as he was wracked with sobs... I'm not! in suspension anymore! But something is wrong. I can feel myself growing steadily more tired, but I won't let that get in the way of my joy. At least for the moment. For the moment I merely return Albero's hug. Eventually I let him go. Stone Piiri and Stone Albero return to their normal positions, but not before Stone Piiri slips something into my claws. I look at Albero, then at the item in my claws. I open my claws, revealing a perfect, round ball of black stone. Seemingly floating in the depths of the stone, is a star. The tiny light shone pure white. I gasp when I see it.

"A lost star diamond!" I whisper.

"A what?" Albero cocks his head.

"Legend has it that, whenever a star gets lost in the sky, it comes down and hides in a black diamond. The star lives on in the diamond, never dying, but not living, either. It merely exists, preserved in the diamond forever. Lost star diamonds are said to have inter-dimensional powers, being able to transport the holder between dimensions, but they take energy away from the user, which explains why I am growing weaker. I'd best get back to suspension, but I'll explain more about the diamonds later, or you can rummage around the books in my cave, I'm sure there's got to be something worth while about them." I say. Albero nods, sniffs, and sighs. He can't see me anymore.
