[Daoine]

As Daoine approached the Coliseum she looked at it with wonder. She's only seen it from afar untill today, always wondered what it would be like inside. Upon walking into the sand ring, the glowing crystals immediately caught her eye. They looked magnificent and ofcourse -being a Dragon- the shining objects tempted her imagination.

Looking around her she noticed that she was still alone. Carefully she took her golden spear from under her cape and examined it. It was already a beautiful gift when she received it from Xanth after the defeat of the Hind but with the latest alterations it looked even better then she ever could have wished for. And hopefully it's function would be just as well.

She'd hadn't had a good training in quite a while now. That's why she had set out to find someone to practise with in the coliseum. Ofcourse she could have gone to the Scrapping Ring where there were always eager fledglings but this time she wanted a decent opponent, someone who could actually teach her a thing or two about battling.

(OOC: Please no one else post to fight Daoine, she is waiting for Kade)

[Arkadios]

Walking into the scrapping ring, memories of his last visit here made him smile. He'd attempted to fight Dazadi, but found he didn't want to. Not with weapons anyway. It was a good thing too... she could have been pregnant then... he wasn't sure when she'd conceived. Smiling at the thought that led him to, he saw his sons face. So small, so perfect. He'd make a fine warrior when he grew up. Following in his footsteps no doubt. He'd followed in his fathers. Despite his mothers yearning for him to become green. But, it was tradition. A long line of male red dragons existed in his family. He wouldn't be the first to break it. And he didn't think Amadeus would either.

Luna chattered at him as he walked into the ring, wondering why he'd come here. He tried to tell her he shouldn't be training in the Palace practice grounds... he could hurt someone. But she really hadn't cared much. Thus, he was trying to tell her why this would be much safer. At least here there were restrictions. You had to be more skilled to fight in this part of the coliseum. He'd train with Luna, probably with a dummie or some type of intimate object. If someone should walk in however, he'd not be fearful of hurting them. Besides, he was interested in summoning Siphae and Aurelia. They might have met already, seeing as they lived in the same realm, but he'd like for them all to meet. Luna had met Siphae, but not Aurelia.

Walking into the center of the ring, unaware he was not alone, Kade summoned Siphae and Aurelia both. Waiting patiently, Luna remained oddly silent. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a small cube of beef he carried for a treat. Yes, he knew she wasn't a pet, but Luna didn't mind this treatment. She'd already ransacked his pocket once before, eating everything he had in one sitting. She regretted it later though when he had nothing left to give her. Accepting the cube, she ate it quickly, her tongue snaking out to lick her jaws, tickling the back of his neck. Hey! Quit that. He said lightly, reaching back to lift her from his neck and into his arms.

Suddenly in a puff of smoke, Aurelia appeared in all her glory. Kade loved Siphae, loved her beautiful midnight blue color, and sapphire eyes. She was really a sight to see... but Lia... Lia was really a beauty. Somewhat bigger than Siphae, which, was almost hard to believe, Lia stood tall on her back legs, then came down to the ground with her wings to greet him. Unlike Siphae's western style, Lia was very much a wyvern dragon. Her wings attached to her front arms. Her movement on the ground might be more limited, but in the air... she was killer. She adorned the colors of white and light shades of pink, clearly sporting her sept as an air dragon. Her breath was just as deadly as Siphae's, without the pain. Gas. Shaking his head, Kade smiled and walked up to Lia. Seeing her cousin, Luna scattered up Kade's arms and onto Lia's head. Neither seemed to mind each other, and Kade was glad for that. Giving Lia a slight bow in greeting, he reached out and stroked her head gently.

[Daoine]

Daoine had been in the training square for a while now, playing with her spear a bit and trying out different poses and fighting stances. Suddenly the silence in the ring was broken by the sound of a chattering imp-dragon. Daoine turned around and saw how the red Dragon from the park in Paris entered the ring. He was accompagnied by the imp she heard. Daoine stayed still and looked at them from a distance. He seemed like an interesting man. She'd seen him now a couple of times with Dazadi, and from what she gathered the couple were lifemates in the strongest sense of the words. She had clearly sensed the bond between them. However something seemed different about him since she last saw him, she could sense it. But what was it exactly?

Daoine tried to remember if she had seen this imp before but as much as she shought back, she couldn't recall ever seeing this particular imp before. As she observed their interaction, her vision was suddenly blurred by a puff of smoke. A huge Air Dragon appeared in the ring. Daoine winced as it moved towards Kade. Would there be trouble? Quickly though she sensed the recognition between them and she relaxed.

Deciding it was not really appropriate to just stand here while looking at the other Dragons, Daoine subtilly cleared her throat hoping the sound would make them notice her presence.

[Dazadi]

Dazadi poofed herself and Tom into the training ring, brushing herself off as she backed away from the vampire. Normally so in tune with her surroundings, Dazadi was so focused on Tom and saving Suka from the vampire's wrath that she didn't pay as much attention as she should have, probably a little offset by the flux in her hormones. Whatever the reason, she didn't notice Kade, Daoine, or the two dragons at the other side of the circle. Her attention was fixed solely on Tom, wondering if he's actually be stupid enough to attack her or if he'd get second thoughts now he knew she could teleport - and that meant, if nothing else, she was more powerful than him.

She wondered, too, if he realised she was an Aide or if he was so driven by his need for revenge that he didn't care. That was a dangerous frame of mind to have, not so much a death wish as an absence of his desire to live. Not caring... She knew how that felt. It wasn't fun. But she wasn't a shrink, and she didn't understand people well enough to even try talking him down. The only thing she was good at was the fighting, and maybe he needed that. If nothing else, Daz understood violence. This guy... he needed to vent. Maybe she'd let him win, maybe not. But she was as good a target as any and as she'd tried to point out back his bar, before Suka attempted to take the blame torch back, this was all her fault.

Now we can fight, she growled, withdrawing her dagger and waggling it at him, her eyebrows arched tauntingly. She started to explain why they were here, but she'd never been big on words and she doubted he cared. All he knew was that he and his girlfriend had taken a beating - something that would undermine anyone's confidence, especially a male's - and he needed someone to punch out. So be it. If you dare.

[Tom]

Tom realised he'd bitten off more than he could chew when the pub was gone, replaced with a circle of sand. He wasn't too sure where he was, but the fact that he was somewhere different was cause enough for concern. Teleporting was a high level skill, meaning that whoever this anyeli was, she was a high level. Perhaps even an aide? The idea of backing down flashed into Tom's mind, and he was about to open his mouth to say as much, when the anyeli spoke again. So she didn't think he'd have the guts to take her on? Her words had the same effect as lighting a touch paper, and the fuse on the ticking bomb that was Tom's emotions had been well and truly ignited.

He eyed the anyeli's dagger warily, and withdrew his own dagger, which seemed short and stubby in comparison. Still, it was the best he had. Not knowing what he was supposed to be waiting for, Tom figured he should start. Taking a step forward, Tom threw himself at the anyeli clumsily, his feet aiming to land somewhere around her middle.

[Arkadios]

Running his hand over Lia's muzzle, he looked into her clear pink eyes. Smiling at how beautiful she was, Kade took a step back wondering why it was takeing Siphae so long. This was the second time she'd not answered his summons right away. Not to mention dissapearing forawhile without a trace. Although, it was understandable this time. She was resting from their ritual. And he really should have let her continue to rest. But he wanted all three of his girls to meet. Especially Phae and Luna.

Hearing someone clear their throat, Kade looked up to see a familiar face. Cocking his head slightly trying to place her, thr realization of who she was washed over him. Ahh yes, the girl from Paris. Her golden dragon had seemed new to her. She probably had just learned to summon. Smiling up at her as Lia and Luna looked her way, Kade was about to give a friendly greeting when he heard... or rather felt, another presance.

Twisting around, Kade looked toward the two newcomers. Immediatly he saw Dazadi, and a frown covered his face. If she was here to watch him... fine. Especially since Dora was watching Amadeus. But... the stance she took with the man... the bar tender, he didn't like it. When their words reached his ears... or her words rather, Kade shook his head. Barking out mentally, Kade made a sprint toward his lifmate. Dazadi no!

The moment the man started his attack, Kade didn't waste a minute. Running as fast as he could, which was damn fast, Kade placed himself in between the man and Dazadi. The blow he took knocked him back slightly, but he'd prevented Dazadi from being hurt. No. This fight will not happen. He said to the man, then looked at Dazadi. You arn't fit to fight. I will not allow it. He projected firmly. Reaching out, he did the one thing that would prove his seriousness. Kade took Dazadi's dagger from her.


[ Piper's Boutique :: Dafont :: Ca-pris :: Time On My Hands :: Gamespot ]

[Tom]

Tom frowned as he got to his feet. He felt rather like he'd thrown himself at a brick wall; the man in front of him had come from nowhere to block his attack. Tom frowned with irritation. It seemed no-one in Elysia could just have a straight, simple fight anymore, instead there had to be at least 10 other people declaring their guilt or lack of, and insisting they were here to protect one another. Standing with his hands on his hips, Tom studied the man as he took away the Anyeli's blade. He was big, and his eyes were black, meaning he was probably a black dragon. Tom groaned inwardly. Two anyeli and a dragon versus him? It just didn't seem fair.

As the Dragon had not spoken once whilst he interrupted the fight, Tom felt it was fair enough to ask for some sort of explanation.

"Umm....hi. Er, do you mind? Trying to vent my spleen here." He said edgily, not wanting to irritate the dragon but still desperate to get some kind of revenge for himself and Piper. Explanations could come later, he wanted to attack now.

[Dazadi]

((ooc: Kade did speak. ^^))

Daz was excited to be in the middle of a fight again. There was nothing in the world she found more exciting than facing off with someone, even when she was out to give that person revenge. Of course, she doubted Tom would appreciate that she was enjoying this, it'd probably make him madder if he knew, but she couldn't help who she was.

Stepping one foot back to dodge the attack, Dazadi's eyes widened as a blur of red and black suddenly slammed into place right in front of her. The flood of emotions and words hit her like a brick, making her realise she'd been accidentally blocking her lifemate. Oops. That would seriously annoy him. She hadn't even realised she'd been doing it. That would explain how she'd ported in here and not even known he was here already.

Confused, she let Kade take her dagger, only realising what he'd done when the weight was no longer snug in her hand. Growling, she stamped her foot and grabbed it back. She didn't care what he said, she was having this fight. I'm fit enough to kick his -donkey-, thank you very much, she snapped. The only thing that stopped her from punching her lifemate in the face was the fact he had taken the dagger in the first place. One warrior to another, that just wasn't done.

Love, please... this is my responsibility. I have to do this. She knew it was hard for him to let her get hurt, that was who he was. But he'd worked with her for decades, he knew what she could do even before the Aide thing. He had to trust that she had a reason for this, that she wasn't trying to get herself killed.

Hearing the irritation in Tom's voice when he tried to hurry them up, Daz held out her hand, one finger up. It wasn't a rude gesture, she was telling him to wait a minute, but she never once took her gaze from Kade's. Love, please.

[Arkadios]

Feeling how Kade was upset, noth Lia and Luna came forward. Lia ambling awkwardly on the ground with Luna holding tight on her horn. Kade told projected his status to them, letting them know they could remain where they are. Lia respected his wishes, actually taking a step beack from the three. Luna however chattered loudly, then ported onto Kades neck to continue to chatter her displeasure in his ear. Waving her off in annoyance, Kade frowned whtn Dazadi took back her dagger.

Crossing his arms while looking at her, Kade shook his head. No Dazadi, you arn't. You havnt even rested a full day yet, not to mention the few weeks your supposed to be taking it easy. This, is not taking it easy. The concern was in his voice, but it was masked by a strictness he normaly didn't use with Dazadi. Not until she became pregnant. When she spoke directly to his mind, Kade calmed down slightly, enough to make Luna settle around his shoulders gently.

He was about to reply when the man took that piticular moment to chime in, causing Kade to turn and look at him. Giving him a glare enough to put him in his place, Kade spoke evenly. You attacked my lifemate buddy. Be glad i've not gutted you yet. Hearing Dazadi speak to him, Kade turned to look at her, seeing the pleading look in her eyes.

Letting out a sigh, Kade shook his head. Sadness overwhelming his face, Kade looked down, then back into her eyes. What about Amadeus? It was all he needed to say. Hopefully it was enough to deter her from this fight, but if it wasn't he'd still not let her. He'd step back in, and ruin every moment. Her pride, or whatever was going on, was not worth injuring her, and possibly making Kade a single parent.


[ Piper's Boutique :: Dafont :: Ca-pris :: Time On My Hands :: Gamespot ]

[Dazadi]

Dazadi was all set to fight both Tom and Kade, not to mention the two dragons if she had to, just to let off some steam and let Tom vent along with her. Except Kade had to go and make her feel bad.

Glaring petulantly from under her lashes, her head tipped downward slightly, she kicked her foot in the dirt, weighing things up in her mind. On the one hand, she had given birth just a couple of hours ago and before that the brat had been keeping her powers to himself - not that he could actually use them very well. On the other, she was a strong, powerful Aide and a fast healer. Kade was always trying to change her, it undermined her confidence in herself and their relationship, but they'd already been through all this. She'd agreed to be careful and he'd agreed not to try shackling her to the kitchen sink.

She wasn't going back on that now, not when she did have to consider their son, but dammit. Tom needed this as much... or maybe even more... than she did. There was no way she was sending him home unhurt just so he could track down Suka again. I'm not going to die, Kade, not today.

Meeting Kade's gaze through her bangs, Daz lifted a shoulder in a half-shrug, shifting her grip on her dagger so the blade pressed flat against her wrist, the hilt snugly fit into her palm. Flashing her lifemate a hot stare, she dipped to the left as if she was going that way, then snapped back around to his right, spinning so her back was to Tom, out and around to face Kade with the vampire between them.

Maybe it would be fun trying to fight Tom while Kade was doing his macho thing. If it got too tedious she could always port Tom to the temple where Kade couldn't go, but she really didn't want to do that. She didn't want to start an argument. She just needed... to atone.

[Tom]

Tom stood still, glaring at the dragon. He was irritated by his threat; yes, so he was attacking her lifemate, but it was hardly unprovoked. However Tom could see the man was clearly stronger than him, and so didn't risk a response. Instead he looked around the temple. Seeing Daione, he gave a small wave and a nod. When he returned his gaze to the arguing couple, Tom was surprised to see the Anyeli had escaped the dragon, and seemed to be ready to fight. Unfortunately Tom seemed to be in the middle of the anyeli and her lifemate now. Hmmm. This didn't bode well.

"Have we finished our lovers tiff now?" Tom asked teasingly, knowing that if he angered the anyeli she'd be more likely to make mistakes. He didn't make a move. This time he'd decided she could go first; being a lady and all.

"Please, go ahead." He invited mockingly, tipping an invisible hat towards her.

[Arkadios]

Kade watched Dazadi carefully. Her remaining quiet never ment good for anyone, especially not herself. When she tipped her head down however, he was sure he'd gotten to her, sure she'd not fight him knowing how stongly he obviously felt about it. But no. That clearly wasn't the case. For the moment Daz looked up at him through her soft black lashes, Kade let out a sigh, watching her shrug.

Her actions were fast and unpredictable as always. He could have known she'd try something like this, but how was always a mystery. Looking at her taking a fighting stance on the other side of the man, Kade stood still shaking his head. He didn't want to do this, but she was forcing his hand. And then of course the man had to pip in, which only made things worse for himself.

As the guy had his back to him, tipping an invisable hat to Dazadi, Kade shook his head. Idiot. Quick as a flash, not a single warning of any sort, Kade moved up behind the man and moved to grip him in a headlock before his antics toward his lifemate had ended. Using the strength he had as a red dragon, and the mind control he recently gained, which, was still very rusty, Kade tried to keep the guy still while looking into Dazadi's eyes. If you don't stop, I'll snap his neck. Then you won't have anyone to fight. He said almost casually.


[ Piper's Boutique :: Dafont :: Ca-pris :: Time On My Hands :: Gamespot ]

[Tom]

Tom choked as he felt the sudden pressure on his neck and head. He realised it must be the dragon, and cursed his own stupidity for turning his back on the guy. He lamely tried to struggle, waving his arms and gasping for breath. When the man spoke, he stopped struggling; surely this man wouldn't snap his neck in cold blood? He had no issue with Tom, the only person Tom needed to prove anything against was this Anyeli, the one who was at fault for the beating he'd taken some months before.

Tom continued to gasp for breath, realising that his struggles were getting him nowhere. He allowed himself to go limp, his legs collapsing underneath him. Sure, it was a little dramatic, but Tom hoped that it would provide the distraction he wanted. However, as he tried to move his legs upwards and aim a kick at the dragons.....goods, Tom found he was unable to...what was preventing him from doing so? He wasn't one hundred percent sure, but he didn't like it one bit, not being in control. With all hope pretty much lost, Tom remained still, resigned to his fate-whatever fate the anyeli chose for him.

[Dazadi]

Dazadi's eyes widened. It wasn't often Kade went to extremes and she hadn't expected him to make threats against someone else's life just to bring her to heel. It didn't seem like him at all and her frown said as much.

Concerned - he never made idle threats, she knew that much - she tapped the blade of her dagger against her thigh as she thought quickly, scanning the arena and the minds in it. What she found was interesting... and gave her a way out.

Spreading her hands in surrender, she tucked her dagger into the sheathe at her hip, ambling slowly towards the pair. She wasn't a seductress and she was sincere - Kade would know as much if he looked her in the eyes - but she used every wile she knew (which admittedly were shockingly few) as she crossed the gap between them and pressed herself against Kade's side. Let him go, then. But Kade... he needs to fight someone. And frankly so do I. Arching her eyebrows as she tipped her face up for a kiss, brushing her hand - more accidentally than deliberately - against Tom's shoulder. Looks like you're nominated as our dummy.

He wouldn't like it but tough. If he was going to be all dramatic every time she needed to let off some steam, she'd do it on him. And she didn't think Tom really cared who he fought, not deep down. Unfortunately, she was still losing out because she'd never be able to atone for her mistakes at this rate.

We're not leaving until both of us have fought someone, she promised, her voice deep and her gaze intense.

[Daoine]

As Kade had noticed Daoine he seemed to be making his way over when suddenly two people transported into the Coliseum. Recognizing both Tom and Dazadi immediately, Daoine wondered what had brought them out there. It seemed that Tom was pretty upset over something and she could clearly sense that Dazadi was filled with guilt over something. In a matter of seconds Tom launched an attack towards Dazadi but Kade stepped in before anything else happened. Daoine decided to stay back for now and just observe what was happening. The love and care she sensed from Kade for his lifemate where tremendous. The feeling was slightly overwhelming for Daoine, even if she was much stronger now then she used to be. She couldn't remember the last time she'd sensed a bond so strong between two beings.

Both Dazadi and Tom were determined to fight, Daoine clearly sensed it, whatever their reasoning for it was. Yet it seemed that Kade was absolutely agreeing with it. Daoine wondered why he was against it. The Anyeli was one of the strongest women in Elysia, she was an Aide even. Surely she would be able to stand up against a Vampire like Tom? Besides that, even if the injuries here could be much more serious then in the scrapping ring, no one was going to die.

Consciously Daoine made her way from the other side of the ring towards the trio, respectfully nodding towards the imp and beastdragon as she passed them. When she finally reached the group she nodded a "hello" to Tom and Dazadi , then turned to Kade. "Kade" she whispered "you're a Dragon. Don't let your judgement be clouded by your personal feelings. Sense theirs .... sense what théy need. I understand that you don't want any harm coming to Dazadi, but she can defend herself. Even I can sense they both want and need this, it's going to be allright. Have faith in her."

[Arkadios]

Holding the man still, Kade felt him squirm about in his arms. Holding the guy wasn't difficult at all. Rather easy to be honest. He'd been a red dragon for so long, his abilities there easily controlled. When the man went limp however, he felt a bit of pride well up. Either this was a tactic, or just out of pure exaustion, but Kade believed that his blue sept powers were truly working.

Kade's eyes remained on Dazadi, even through his brief moment of triumph. Watching her movement carefully, knowing she would just as easily turn on him as she would attack the man he had in a death grip, Kade didn't look away once. Watching her sheathe her dagger, Kade kept his grip on the man, focusing on controling his body while trying to ignore Dazadi's attempts at distraction. Looking down at her as she came to rest pressed into his side, Kade clenched his jaw slightly.

Dazadi always had a way with him. Even here now, in the midst of a fight, she tempted him severly, making him want to take hold of her and show her just how much she ment to him. But her words however, kept him grounded. Seeing her tilt up her head for a kiss, Kade bent his own head slight to meet her when his eyes fell on Dazadi's hand touching the mand shoulder. Lifting his head quickly, a bit of anger boiling up inside, Kade moved back and away from his lifemate, his grip hardening on the man. Before it had been just a tactic to get her to understand how against this he was, but now...

Looking into dazadis eyes, his own intense for a different reason, he listened to her statment. Swallowing the bitter taste within his mouth, he looked at her, not believing that she could put herself in a situation like this so soon after giving life to their son. Would he always be chasing her like this? Having to treaten somone or something just to hold her back? Would he always be the one looking after their sons well being while she ran around half cocked? His thoughts clear in his mind, not bothering to hide them from her should she probe, Kade heard a soft whispering near his ear. Looking down to see the dragon from Paris, Kade listened silently. The words she spoke made him boil inside, although his expression remained blank. She spoke as if she knew him, when infact she knew nothing of the situation. Had she known the whol truth, and that there was an infant waiting at home for his mother, she probably would not have been so bold. Not saying a word, choosing to ignore her presance, Kade turned his head to find Dazadi's eyes.

Luna, who had been sulking from Kade brushing her comments off, suddenly burst with angry chatter. No one but Kade being able to understand her, she twisted on Kades shoulder and chittered harshly toward the female dragon. Caught up in her own excitment, Luna lost her footing and tumbled down Kade's back only to port herself just before hitting the ground. Ending up right int the females face, her wings beating to keep her afloat, Luna looked the dragon carefully in the eyes. Don't stick your nose where it dosn't belong. She told her harshly. Luna was mainly reacting on Kade's own thoughts and feelings, but she couldn't believe herself that one could be so bold.

Locking minds with Luna, Kade spoke her her privatly. He'd not yet attempted this, and Luna had advised against it so soon, but she felt his determination, and knew she needed to help. Guiding him through it, giving him encouragment as best she could, her back now turned on the female dragon as she watched him carefully, Kade slowly began to morph into a black beast dragon. Black scales began to sprout over his entire body, the sight most grusome and unattractive. In much pain and discomfort, his morphing was irratic, taking over all his control, his mind letting loose its hold on the man. Unfourtunatly for him however, the first full limb to grow was that of Kade's Western style claw. The weight of his arm was enough to make the man buckle and let Kade pin him to the ground.

Slowly the rest of his body began to morph. Although the process was slow and painful, not to mention utterly grusome, Kade was able to complete the transition, the last of his body to morph being his face then wings. He'd taken the western style for reasons not really known. Although they were large and powerful, Wyverns were able to fly better, and their size was immense. But Kade had found western's ground travel seemed more efficint, and knew he'd be on the ground often.

Beating his wings hard, mainly to shake off the sensation of the morph, kade looked down at the man in his claws, then at the female dragon, finally to Dazadi. Remaining silent, he stared into her eyes. There was much Dazadi could do, but what could she do to a dragon? How could she protest now? And how does a humaniod fight such a beast? Shifting his heavy weight slightly, getting used to his large size, he avoided crushing the man as he waited for Dazadi's reaction.

(ooc: Not sure if i godmodded, i tried to avoid it as much as I could. If its not cool with anyone, ill go back in and edit )


[ Piper's Boutique :: Dafont :: Ca-pris :: Time On My Hands :: Gamespot ]

[Dazadi]

Dazadi was hurt that Kade rejected her, letting her hands fall slowly to hang loosely at her thighs, looking at Daoine dimly. Why did she know that woman? And what the hell was Luna ranting about?

Shaking the vague sense of deja vu off, Dazadi's eyes widened as Kade slowly transformed. She'd known he could do this eventually, of course, she'd read as much as she could about Black Dragons and Kade had been very forthcoming... but this... She had never imagined it could be so ugly or painful. She felt every tear in his muscles and every crack of his bones in her own body, as if she was the one morphing. It was like nothing she'd ever felt before, not even the many broken bones she'd suffered during flight practise and her training. It made her sick and her knees almost buckled under her.

Staggering back, she stared up at the dragon blankly, confused. What the hell was she supposed to do now? Unlike her lifemate, who could at least enjoy the pride of achieving the dragon's form and the powers that went with it, Daz was left with the horrid sensation of having her body torn apart. She could still feel the rips, almost like pulling a muscle and feeling the twinge for weeks after. It washed away any daredevil aspirations in her and left her feeling drained and nauseous. Kade had won, but at what cost? He was trying to change her all over again, trying to stop her from being who she was. Yes, she had a son now, and a family, but she was still Dazadi. She still lived - and would die - by the sword in a fury of violence. She was an Aide, to boot, she couldn't understand why he was so gung-ho about locking her down. It was like he didn't trust her - and that hurt more than any physical pain could.

I... Looking away, she shook her head. You don't have to chase me anywhere. I'll be at home. Glancing apologetically at Tom for ruining his plans yet again, frowning at Daoine as she tried once more to figure out why she knew the woman, Dazadi shrugged a shoulder. She could never remember anyone anyway, what was the use?

Staring at her feet, Daz teleported home.

[Arkadios]

Letting the sensation of sucessfully becoming a beast dragon course though his veins, Kade felt the power within him pulsating. It was like being a red dragon times 10. He couldn't believe what he was feeling. Well, he could believe it, it was just... undescribable. Looming over both females, the guy stuck under his claws, Kade suddenly felt Dazadi's thoughts tugging at the corners of his mind.

Frowning... if a dragon can frown, Kade watched her quietly, feeling the pain and depression she was going through. Listening to the thoughts she had, Kade felt like they just re ran time to their previous argument. Guilt and anger washing over him, knowing that he'd upset her but not understanding how, Kade felt a sudden pang of pain. Not physical, but deep within. Swallowing, he looked her her through hurt eyes that reflected her own. When she spoke, her voice only confirmed the thoughts he'd recieved.

Pain rocketing through his heart at the pathetic sound in her voice, Kade reached out to her, but not before she was able to port away. The moment Dazadi left his sight, the pain depression he felt quickly boiled into a heavy rage. His claws around the man dug into the dirt, his weight bearing down on the small frame. Letting loose a nasty roar, Kade moved his claw, snatching up the guy in his teeth and hurdling him across the ring towards the wall. Not bothering to watch what his fate was, he sucked in a large breath, his actions more natural than he could imagine, he let loose a collum of fire, shooting it out before him into the air.

Below him, Luna had ported to the safety of Lia, and the two backed away allowing Kade to let loose what he needed to. Just as disgusting as the morphing process was from human to dragon, it was no less morbid in reverse. The pain as well remained the same, and without concentration, Kade was left with quite a few scaly patches on his skin when her was done. Walking toward the man that he had decided to place blame, Kade unsheathed his katana, jaw clenched ready to fight. You wanted a fight? Now you have one? Why he was doing this.. he really didn't know. He was angry... upset. He wanted to hurt something, and preferable the mad that had wanted to hurt his lifemate.

(Ooc: Major godmodding yes i know. i wanted Kade to reply asap tho to Daz leaving, as thats what he would have done. If you dont like it Nattie, i have no qualms in editing Just let me know! *pats Tom* Poor guy)

[Tom]

Tom groaned as he hit the wall, his ribs already tender where the dragon had pounded him underfoot-or was that underclaw? His ears were ringing as the dragon spoke again. The last thing he remembered before he was spinning against the wall was the apologetic glance he'd recieved from the Anyeli. That confused him; she was either not all there, or one of the good guys at heart. Either way, he had no chance to dwell upon his thoughts. It seemed he'd found a new sparring partner.

Staggering clumsily and painfully to his feet, Tom gasped as another flash of pain shot down his body. He coughed, spitting out a mouhful of sand onto the ground and looked up at the Dragon.

"You're on" Tom rasped, his voice shaky. It was a pointless fight, he knew that, but he wasn't backing down now. Maybe he'd find some kind of relief for at least attempting to fight. Tom once again grabbed his pair of daggers and stood, his knees bent.

"Bring it."

[Arkadios]

Kade was majorly weak from his morphing. It took a lot out of him, especially since it had been his first time doing it. Breathing heavily as he approached the man, Kade didn't eben follow the recpectful bowing to on another. He was angry, and was releasing that on the nearist target to blame. Lifting his katana the moment he was close enough, Kade moved to slice the man's dagger in half.

Pulling back, he slowly began to circle him. The more the moment's passed by, the more Kade calmed down. Eventually he got to a point where he knew killing this man wasn't right, but beating him up would serve him to remember not to go after his lifemate again. Tossing his swoard to the ground, Kade stared at the man. If he continued to use weapons, so be it. Even if he got the katana for himself. He wouldn't win though. Kade might go home brused and battered, bloody beyond repair, but he would go home the victor.

With a yell, he lunged forward, his fist aiming for that of the man's face. Followed with is other fist aimed for his ribcage on his side. He was putting himself right in the advantage point of being cut up, but he really didn't care. His skin was tough. It would take a hard stab to penitrate.
