The Realm of Dragons [Shuhei & Fuujin]

Loud and terrifying were the cheers of the monstrous spectators.  Thousands of Dragons of all shapes, sizes and colors filled the arena and roared with glee as the humans began to flood in to the Colosseum like pigs to the slaughter.  The heroic Zeus walked beside the White Wizard amongst the rest of the gladiators at the centre of the group.  Opposite of them stood three tall blue Dragons with spears as tall as trees and wore only shin guards and a shoulder plate each for armor.  They raised their spears to the audience and roared loudly and in turn the crowd roared even louder in support of their champions.  Shuhei looked to Zeus.  "I thought you said there was only one Dragon?"  Zeus chuckled.  "You can't expect a single Dragon to become a Hero without other Dragons to rise above!"  Shuhei scratched the back of his head.  "I suppose."  The cheers went on as a Dragon approached the rail at the lowest level of the arena, on a sort of platform.  The Dragon was purple and green with feathers instead of scales and wore a long silky blue robe.  It raised its arms and roared loudly, catching the attention of the monstrous masses, silencing them.

"Welcome one and all to the reenactment, of Katharn!"  Again, they cheered, some flew over the stadium dragging flags of various designs and colors with meanings unbeknownst to the White Wizard who watched in awe at what humans of his world would never bear witness to.  "The first battle of Katharn!  The humans have amassed their armies and have begun their assault, but the mighty Katharnian keep them at bay!"  Very rapidly, the three blue Dragons charged the mass of human gladiators.  "Ready yourselves!"  Zeus yelled as he charged through the crowd of gladiators to the front of the line just as one of the Dragons lunged its spear towards the crowd.  Zeus skillfully hopped to the size allowing the spear to barely miss him and with his above average sized body, hugged the spear shaft and pulled with all his might.  To the dragons surprise, he could not withdraw his spear no matter how hard he pulled.  Zeus' feet dug in to the dirt as the dragon pulled against him. Though the Dragon couldn't pull Zeus, he had no trouble lifting him.  He raise his spear in to the air and Zeus along with it.  Thinking quickly, Zeus let go of the spear and fell on to the Dragons back and grasped the strap of the beasts shoulder plate.  The Dragon squirmed and twirled but couldn't shake the mighty Zeus.  

Shuhei smiled as he watched his new friend take on the dragon, but it quickly faded as the human screams brought on another wave of cheering from the audience.  The other two Dragons had run through the crowd of gladiators, tossing many aside but thankfully none were killed.  Shuhei's expression became angry.  "They're just playing around with us."  He looked around him at the others who were shaking in fear and knew not what to do.  He clenched his fists and leaned back, inhaling a great amount of air in to his lungs and then unleashed a loud terrifying roar which even shook the Dragons.  "Form a circle around me!"  He yelled, though none moved.  Anger filled his face and he roared once more. "Now!" Quickly the gladiators formed a circle around Shuhei in two rows.  Many however were still lying on the ground unconscious from the last run through the Dragons made.  While Zeus kept one busy, still latched to the beasts back, the other two laughed at the humans attempt to from in to a defensive line.  Shuhei looked around at the terrified men around him, taking in to account what they each possessed for a weapon and began to formulate a plan.  Although he had the ability to fight for the men, he thought it would be better to teach them to fight for themselves like Zeus.  He crossed his arms.  "Prepare yourselves!"


OOC: Sorry for the long wait.

(I probably shouldn't even be trying this as it's 3:15 AM and I'm dead tired yet have a balance of suggary sodas and two power bars coursing through me.  But eh.  Whatevers.  This mission doesn't even have a per post word requirement

*Lets sleep guide her*).





The creeping sense of isolation and alienation sunk hard on Elen,  but she did not allow it to penetrate her heart and give in to some sense of panic.   She was alone,  and dragons wanted to doo who knows what manner of things with her.   At least one of those things had to include a thousand and one different ways to eat her and that was not high on her to do list.

Elen raised her altatutde significantly when the realization came in that in conjunction with the tall trees,  the naturally accute eyes,  and the fact that many flying creatures were probbaly common;  that staying in the air over a major population center was NOT something to give her survival points in this mess.   At a higher altatude she obesrved a while longer until it appeared a dragon was flying in the night on a path that would bring it close to her,   so she took off away from the city and back to the wilds which at the very least wasn't crouded over with a thousnd dragons per square mile.   Nope.  Juset a lot of trees and od small less than intelligent "Animals" though "Animals" was sa term loosely applied...  considerign tat most of the sentient races seem to be a breed of some such animal or another and that of a dragon giving them sentience.  

Dang dragons, always breeding with everything.    How oes a dragon fit it's tools of this trade into natures smaller animals in the first plce?  Heavens know what dragon thought it would be a good idea to bone a rabbit as was the creature she first saw,  the dragon-rabbit creature.


(And I'm falling asleep.)

The sky was overtaken by a Dragon horde. As the Dragon citizens tried to escape, the Guards flew in from the opposite direction, however the air traffic was a bit much for the guards to properly react to the uprising and they couldn't help but bump in to a few of the pedestrians and wade slowly through the crowd. The ones on the ground however had no trouble reaching Shuhei and his troop of Gladiators. Roughly six large Drakes rushed them, and the gladiators charged right back at them without hesitation. There were still roughly a hundred or so Gladiators left from the reenactment so they didn't have too much trouble climbing on to the Dragons and overwhelming them. After one was taken down by the thirty or so humans climbing on it, stabbing it with swords, Zeus took up one of the Dragons tridents and leaped through the air, swinging the enormous weapon (Which was probably five times his size) and nailed a Dragon on the head with it, zapping it with the weapons power. It fell backwards and soon the other four fell as well. "We can do this!" Shuhei shouted.

Just as things seemed as though they were going smoothly, tridents began to rain from the sky over them, eliminating the gladiators left and right. It seemed as though the initial mayhem created by the swarm of panicking civilians had ended and the guards were now able to intercept the threat. "Stand fast! It's not over yet!" Zeus pointed towards the sky where storm clouds were quickly beginning to form. The sound of thunder echoed in the distance. "This could get interesting. Zeus! keep the men safe for now!" "Aye Aye!" Shuhei knelt for a moment and then quickly shot up in to the sky like a missile. Some Dragons tried to swing at him with their tridents, but Shuhei continuously rolled and dodged every one of them, until he reached a point in the sky where he was above the army of Dragons. A flash of lightning lit up the sky as Shuhei raised his hands in to the air. "Radiant Storm!" His hands seemingly vanished as they began to move too quickly for the eye to see and he began to fire hundreds of bolts of white light down on to the dragons. As if Heaven had rained down judgment upon them Shuhei began to eliminate them one after another in a hail of holy might.
