your hands protect the flames

Who: The Dragonsworn
What: The first arrival of the Dragonsworn goes a bit...awry.
Where: Scattered around the perimeter of Suramar.
When: Dawn on March 21st
Warnings: Please PM the mods if any warnings are needed

It is almost as if you've woken from a daydream when the ground meets your feet. The stench of fire is overpowering, and though dawn is just approaching in the canopies of Kalimdor, bright flashes of green can be seen between the branches of impossibly tall trees. If that doesn't snap you out of your surprise, then the sound of nearby spitting in demonic tongue may persuade you to get a grip and notice your surroundings -- you are not alone. There are others like you, huddled just a bit too close, with a somewhat familiar face keeping you from advancing further. Looking down at your hands may briefly reveal a momentary flash of color, but nothing lasting more than a few seconds.

The mages of each flight take the helm of their charges, and they are quick to notice any movement from their groups despite channeling some sort of spell to keep you protected. Stray fire will bounce off an invisible shield that ripples when anything make contact with it. There seems to be nothing in sight but your new comrades, and your guardian -- at least not on the ground. The sky has flying demons swarming a pack of dragons -- and the dragons are very clearly losing. Look just a bit farther, and you might find more dragons, though these clearly have different colored scales than the ones above your head.

While distracted, you may hear your guardian speak to you. "There may yet be wounded nearby -- if you care to, bring them here, and we will tend to them from the Sanctum." Briefly, they gesture skyward, toward the dragons flying overhead. "Do not bring to us any that are not our own, lest you invite their demise!"

But the mage is focused on casting -- they are in no position to halt your advance, and they know it. They speak with concern -- concern for you, concern for the dire situation at hand. The demonic cackling is drawing near. The forests are rapidly becoming overrun, and there are already a few dragons slain on the forest floor.

"Take care, Dragonsworn -- I am bringing us to safety, but it will take time. To wander far is to invite your ruin, and we cannot afford the loss of your life."

[OOC: You are free to mingle on this post as you choose, despite the flight groups being scattered through the forests around Suramar -- after this log, you will be separated into your sanctums, and your interactions will be watched much more closely. Attempting to enter the city itself will result in a vicious attack from demons that will kill. The Dragon Mages will be tagging sporadically to heroes of their matching flight, and the conclusion of this log will lead Dragonsworn through portals to their Sanctums.]

No, of course not, do I look like a winged monstrosity? [He folds his arms.] It's not nice to stare, you know. Didn't anyone teach you any manners?
hexdere: (i see)

[ She shakes her head, scoffing. ]

Manners are for those who warrant them, and you have given me no reason to think of you as such a person. Do you have any useful information?

I'm pretty hard pressed to share with an attitude like yours. [He harrumphs, but even he knows now isn't the time and place to really argue.]

But listen. I don't know much more other than the fact that we cannot leave this place and supposedly those darn dragons brought us here. [The latter being hearsay, not information he got from a mage. So who knows if it's true?]

[ She wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't. Dragons were probably the cause of everything that went wrong, ever, as far as she was concerned. ]

"Dragons. Of course. I'd suspected as much."

Explain yourself. [With the way she says it, that makes him a little concerned.]

Seems like you might know a thing or two about troublesome dragons. [He spits the last part of the sentence out with some venom. He can also think of a dragon he didn't like that gave him problems.]

I was just on my way to kill one, at the behest of another. [ She shakes her head, casting her gaze downwards. ]

I never particularly mind the chance to perfect my skills, but it seems like they like to treat us as toys to break, and I'd much rather stay whole.

As would the rest of us. [He takes a glance around, to make sure they were still speaking in private.]

They want us to fight alongside them. That sounds pretty familiar to you, doesn't it.
hexdere: (really now)

[personal profile] hexdere 2014-03-29 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm more used to fighting 'for' them, than alongside.

[ well, she fought with at least three other dragons but those dragons were also fighting for other dragons... ]

This is a welcome change of pace.

That was your first mistake, taking orders from a bunch of ingrates. Next time I suggest you fight on your own accord. Or leave them to their messes. And if they give you any trouble, you destroy them. Simple as that.

[Because that's completely simple, right? Probably not...]

[personal profile] hexdere 2014-04-02 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, please. Does that mean you intend to try to destroy these dragons?
