I hope it's okay that my OOC character, Victor, hangs out with you guys.

I gotta work on his bio some more. It was thrown together at the last minute before I had to leave the house.

Juliet gets up, nuzzles her

Juliet gets up, nuzzles her friend before giving a courteus little bow and heading off to explore the forest some more.

I hope you didn't mind Juliet sitting with Illrose. ; ) She needed some company, and saw Illrose all alone on top of the wall.

Gah, sorry for late reply.

Gah, sorry for late reply. ._.
But I don't mind at all, Juliet is really adorable. ♥

(surprise >.> edit: and what a beautiful face she has 8D)

"Illrose. You look terrible." The statement seemed to just fall lazily from Akira's mouth. It had little feeling behind it, really, besides perhaps a small mix of dark amusement or teasing disappointment. "I wonder, now, who could bring the Dragon Queen such a state, hmm?" He was fully aware he was playing with fire, and that he was being quite rude, but he wasn't one to beat around the bush. He didn't fear her wrath. Respected it, yes, but it was something he would be glad to one day see, no matter who the target.
Snowsauria's picture

Akira's words made her raise

Akira's words made her raise her eyebrows slightly. Not exactly the greeting she had expected.
"Why thank you." She replied, quite sarcastically, but with a slight smile on her lips. His question made the smile fade though, and her white eyes had a quite serious expression.
"Oh, various stuff. Not only _who, but also what. The death of a son, the leaving of another one and the return of an old enemy, for example." She added, a hint of cold in her voice.
OkamiLugia's picture

The unicorn chuckled at her

The unicorn chuckled at her sarcasm, and he raised an eyebrow curiously as she continued to speak. He put on a more formal facade, "I see... My condolences for your children. Such a great burden it is to be a mother." He paused a moment before continuing. "This enemy... Does he have something to do with why you are trapped within this form?" Illrose hadn't been here all that long, from what he understood. At least, relative to what must have been her true age. Did this enemy come from the outside, then? These thoughts raced through his mind effortlessly as he awaited her reply.
Snowsauria's picture

"It sure is." She nodded in

"It sure is." She nodded in agreement, swallowing. At least speaking of Blue Boy didn't make her burst into tears anymore, but she would always feel a painful sting of sorrow in her chest while thinking of her son. And Armageddon...well, at least he was still alive, and he was probably doing well, wherever he was. She just had to have faith in him. Illrose then smiled bitterly at Akira's question.
"Oh yes, he have everything to do with that."
OkamiLugia's picture

The unicorn stag grinned

The unicorn stag grinned darkly. "Oh ho! Now that is interesting. I assume you mean he is here within this forest when you say he has returned, no? I am certainly willing to lend any assistance when he chooses to strike again." Akira felt his heart beat faster at the thought of being able to shed some blood without any kind of worry. And alongside a dragon at that...
Snowsauria's picture

She grimaced, wouldn't

She grimaced, wouldn't exactly say it was 'interesting' that the Warlock had come here. Not at all. But since Akira seemed interested she decided to might as well tell the story as it was.
"Yes, he has. He and his companions decided to trap me here first, but someone here showed me a portal, and I found my way back home. So I sought out those who had trapped me here, and to make sure they wouldn't do such thing again I killed them. Sadly, one of them survived, and he has now returned to kill me." This made her more annoyed than anything. Annoyed that she had failed to kill every single one of the warlocks when she had had the chance to do so.
"I appreciate that, but I prefer to fight him on my own. Too many are involved as it is, and I really don't want anyone to get hurt - expect him, that is."
OkamiLugia's picture

"Ah, it seems things like

"Ah, it seems things like this have a way of never turning out as one hopes." He nodded thoughtfully and added with a smirk, "You care for others that much?" He found this quite amusing really, but he decided to keep his mouth shut on the matter. "Well, Illrose, I do wish to let you know here and now, I have no problem with killing or being killed. The world only chooses the strongest to continue to live. Being killed would simply mean my time was over." He shrugged casually, dismissing his small ramble, still with a small smirk on his face. "But never mind all that. I'm sure you will come out the stronger. You're a dragon after all."
Snowsauria's picture

"They do." She agreed, before

"They do." She agreed, before glaring at Akira, almost confused by his behavior, by the way he spoke. If she hadn't known better she would have believed he tried to make her angry or something.
"I do have family and friends here, believe it or not, and yes, I care about them!" She almost growled at him, before snorting.
"By all means, if you care so little about your life, then do what you wish." But it was his last sentence that really threw her off. Illrose got up to her feet, staring at him with cold eyes.
"Do I look like a goddamn dragon to you?! Do you think I would have had this shape if I could have turned to a dragon here and now?" Illrose didn't know where the burst of anger came from. But Akira's sentence had made it seem like she believed she was stronger and tougher than others in this forest just because she was a dragon in her own world. Well, she didn't. No, there were others here that still had parts of their original form in this forest. Some had paws, some had wings, some had canine teeth. She had even seen others turn into smaller dragons here, and she had nothing! Not claws, not scales, not wings. She couldn't even breathe fire. No, here she was just a simple deer.
OkamiLugia's picture

Akira's expression didn't

Akira's expression didn't change. It hadn't been his intention to anger her, but this outburst did teach him more about Illrose than any previous exchange before. Her defensiveness of those she cared about greatly reminded him of Edward Elric, who Akira was sure had succeeded in destroying the Homunculi, even with all his "family" and "friends" to care for all the while. In that life, Akira had been a man. And he had been killed. But was there such a thing as self-doubt in the mind of this former man, even though he had not been "chosen"?

He arose as well, quite dainty looking next to the moose, his black hair much resembling hers. "You misunderstand me. Simply because you are trapped within that body does not change who you are. There is much more to you than a form and shape and the name it is given." He shrugged again, "If you wish yourself to change into a moose, however, that's none of my concern."

He began to walk past her, deciding to give Illrose a break from his pestering. While in his past life he would have likely dismissed her "care" for others as a weakness, this encounter as a whole had only strengthened his respect for her, even if he seemed rather condescending on the surface.

(jeez it is so hard to get into his head sometimes @.@)
Snowsauria's picture

The anger vanished just as

The anger vanished just as quickly as it appeared, leaving Illrose quite speechless for her own behavior. She stood silent for a while, but then noticed that Akira was about to leave.
"Wait." She quickly said, taking a step after him.
"You are right. I am still a dragon, no matter what I look like." But still, she couldn't deny the changes this forest and this body made her go through, how her mind slowly changed from a dragon's instincts to a deer's instincts. Almost too slowly to even notice, and impossible to stop. The only solution to this was to actually get out of the forest, back to her dragon body and dragon instincts. But now that portal was closed and she was trapped here, again.

( Haha, I understand how that is. xD )
OkamiLugia's picture

When Illrose called out, he

When Illrose called out, he turned his head back so one eye could see her. "You want to remain a dragon, then?" His smirk was gone, and after a moment he turned to face her again. "If I remember correctly, you were once free to roam outside this place... Has this enemy of yours trapped you once again?"
He was fairly surprised that she wanted to continue speaking on this matter, what with how irritated she seemed just moments before.
Snowsauria's picture

"Of course I do. It's just so

"Of course I do. It's just so difficult when I'm here, so far from everything related to what I really am." It would have been much easier if her appearance still somewhat resembled a dragon. If she had had wings or claws or something, instead of simply turning into a human-faced moose. Illrose sighed, before nodding.
"Yes, he has."
OkamiLugia's picture

Akira nodded, looking

Akira nodded, looking uncharacteristically serious. "Then he must die, no?" Then, his expression more casual, "One can only hope he has some kind of weakness. Find it by whatever means necessary, and destroy him." He paused again, and another dark smirk played across his face. "Men as a whole are quite weak, after all, even if for all their insistence of destroying everything they fear."

Okami; ( Very sorry for late

Okami;
( Very sorry for late reply, I must have missed your last comment somehow. .__. )

"Oh yes, he must die, but first he must open the portal so I can get home." That was very important, no matter how much she wished to kill the Warlock right away, she had to get him to open the portal again first. And since he probably wouldn't do it just like that, she had to find a way to persuade him. She looked over at Akira, then smiling slightly.
"I will find his weakness, whatever it may be." She nodded, after all appreciating this little chat even though she had snapped at Akira just moments ago.

AliceV;
Thank you, I'm glad you think so. ♥

"Ahh, I see now..." He mused. How ironic. That would be quite the challenge for Illrose, wouldn't it? He grinned when the dragon-doe affirmed her conviction of destroying her enemy. No matter the outcome, he was sure the battle would be glorious. "I wish you luck, Lady Dragon."

Beauty and grace, beauty and

Beauty and grace, beauty and grace
Bones of strength, body worn with age
Even those who seem to have lived through it all
Show beautiful elegance and resilience in their form
Calm collected one, continue to breathe your wonders
Continue to grace this Forest with your unyielding presence
For you, Illrose, are the embodiment of beauty's strength

"I thank you for that, I'll probably need luck to beat him." She stretched out, not bothering to worry about the battle that was sure to come one day.


Quad;
"Thank you." She whispered to the tiny bird by her side.
