Protectors of the Earth

[Grace.E]

Emrelda's last bit of energy that she gathered was used up when she basically teleported about 100 feet away from where she battled with Chrono. She mentally gave him the finger before she passed out. instead of darkness, she was surrounded by white light. her head was throbbing.
"Emrelda...My daughter, wake up"
she knew that voice well. she sat up, her head pounding slowly going away. even though she gave some of her power to Chrono, it will take centuries to get to her level...she forgot to mention the side effects that happenhe will be experiencing killer migraines for a while... she smiled at the thought. payback time. she looked up at the dragon she called father. he was huge, his body glowed as his thousand Angels stood by his side.
 Someday...I HAVE to look like him she dreaded the day when she would have cults worship her and Angels swarming her like bee's... but this is what you get for being Celestial. not to mention her father was dream keeper and one of the three kings. she hated being Royal.
"Father" she lowered her head in a respectful gesture. she was back in dragon form. "what brings you to see me on my better days" her voice dripped with sarcasm. her father, gave her an eyebrow.
" Sinsherogosa..." his voice was deep and musical, Emrelda winced, she hated when her father used her celestial name, he only used it when was basically pissed. "You have two mistakes today. One, giving a dark, powerful dragon your healing power and Second, getting involved with something that is beyond your skill"
Emrelda rested her head on her knuckles, she stared up into those blazing gold eyes she inherited "And?"
"you have only several choices to chose from" he was suddenly surrounded by golden mist. then reappered into a tall, unbelievably handsome man with jet black hair and wearing emerald robes. Emrelda also transformed, her red hair, Ivory human skin and elegant woman body made her look like she belonged in heaven in the dream world. two chairs appeared along with a table and two silver goblets that were filled with golden nectar. she sat down when her father did.
"Emrelda, the messenger has sent you the message of the Oonagi I presume" his voice was strained and filled with dread. Emrelda nodded as she swirled the nectar around in her goblet. she raised the goblet her her human lips.
" Your friend, Chrono Blackwyng is in serious trouble" he said sharply. Emrelda nearly choked on her drink, Blackwyng...she knew that name well, a member of that tribe was after her...for what?
"He had other intentions then just killing you daughter, but anyways he is in serious trouble that Taea has taken a sexual interest in him, we cannot let him be captivated by her seductive spell"
Emrelda was suddenly curious "what does she want?"
"his gene so that she may create spawn" he continued to look at her " his power is strong and rare, not that you have inhanced it, she wants him more"
Emrelda rolled her eyes "and why do I care?"
her fathers eyes grew narrow "because their spawn will kill every single life form without any sense of love and mercy, just like Oonagi. Gaea has lost control of her protectors and now they want to kill us all so they can take the world for themselves, Taea will pleasure and fulfill his every desire until she finds someone else that is interesting then will cast him aside as if he didn't exist"
Emrelda snorted, she watched as a dream floated by. "what do you want me to do?" she asked "Kill Taea?" her father shook his head "she is powerful, you will be killed...I want you to do something else more tricky"
Emrelda dreaded what the plan was going to be, she leaned back into her chair, staring at her father with an intense glare. "What is it?"
her father sighed "Make Chrono...fall hopelessly and madly in love with you"
Emrelda's mouth dropped. she leaned in over the table "two words father, HELL NO!" she yelled the last two words.
"it's the only way my child..." a soft, motherly voice spoke, Emrelda's body went cold. at the table appeared Gaea herself. Emrelda's heart was filled with so much love that she was going to cry.
"Daughter of Dreams, remember...the human heart you posses from all those years ago when you switched heart essence, you are a nineteen year old woman trapped inside a dragons body. besides you could even love him in return" her voice was gentle. Emrelda crossed her arms.
"Hell no" she repeated. Gaea sighed, she looked at her father. He nodded
"Emrelda, what if I gave Isobel back to you...but reincarnated as your own child?" Emrelda almost fainted. they were willing to give her Isobel if she did this to Chrono...she sighed as she debated inwardly. her head fell into her hands. tears threaten to spill over "fine...I'll do it, for Isobel" damn my human heart, mind and soul she thought

Shiro sniffed around the area, looking for traces of magic. The fight lead away from there. He could sense the magic. He lept onto his horse and followed the trail. There she was, layed out and sprawled on the ground. Shiro looked with awe, wonder, then outrage and fire. His fur started to spike up, and green fire shot out of his nostrils and eyes.
"Okay... where is this son of a" at this the fire was too much for him to speak any more.

[KittKat chunky~]

The small cat woke up, the free magic in the air causing the bell on his collar to hum in response. He licked the air, looking from Shiro to the figure on the forest floor. He cocked his head, tail flicking "I do believe you have found your betrothed sweetheart... Now while i am no expert on mortals, i do believe she should be breathing a little more than that..." The cat jumped down from the horse, stretching languidly "I see you have yet to find me a fish however..."

[Grace.E]

her healing powers were healing every little problem that was on her body. she felt her strength renewed. but she still continued to lay there, motionless. how was she going to tell Shiro about the only solution from becoming destroyed by spawn that will desire blood of life and the need to destroy everything in their path. she had no idea how she was going to make Chrono of all people to like her, then possibly make him love her. it was very improbable, Dragons don't mate for life. and when a pair does its extremely rare. even though in return for her task she will have Isobel back... she hated the plan. she wanted to find some other way to get Chrono away from Taea. but her father and Gaea told her that if she strayed from the plan, she will get nothing and die.
What good is this plan going to do when Taea has a powerful hold on him...and over protection and jealousy will get me killed if I even think about him
she mentally cursed her father for such an idiotic plan. but even Gaea agreed to it. Emrelda began to wonder what would happen if she succeeded. she dreaded the results
But one things for sure....I know nothing about Romance, the whole plan is gonna fail anyway, might as well not get my hopes up.
she opened her eyes. she was weighed down by angry, dark power. she recognized it as Shiro's. she sat up slowly, she caught eye of a cat staring straight at her.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono started to regain consiousness, his spear had acted on its own, pinning Taea to the ground and apparently suppressing her power. Shes only interested in your power you idiot, get aw- Taea screamed loudly as the spear flew off and far from Chrono's sight. He felt her touching him again, but it was a possessive hold and too unnerving to let her keep hold. his arm suddenly burst into flame and she hissed in pain before letting go, and Chrono made a run of it, feeling his spear slowly return to him. His earth control was locked up again as vines caught his feet and he hit the floor. More vines started wrapping around him, and thats when he lost his focus and control. wind had become strong enough to tear a section of vine into shreds, followed by one part suffering from spontaneous combustion, and it ended with a segment of vine suddenly shrivling up as all the liquids inside it were suddenly pulled out. This kept repeating until all the vines were gone and Taea was no longer plaguing his mind.

She had not given up however, for the sudden display of power actually attracted the attention of the other snakes that put their locations in his mind; but he did not attract the snake of spirit since he showed no real control over that element. Now it went from one elemental snake falling for him, to all four now clamoring for his power. By the time all four snakes had his location, his spear was back in his hand and he was just recovering from his sudden elemental explosion. It usually wasn't that scary for the touch... If that spell is truly of the healing type, it probably buffeted the emotional control of her presence; that is how I could tell her attentions had no real interest in your well-being. What about Emrelda? Shes probably the safest bet since she not only has no attraction to you, but probably saved you from making a really idiotic decision with the help of that horn. Chrono was somehow at the mountains by the time the spirit in his spear had finished 'speaking'. She won't mind if I hide out here and suppress my power before I get spotted, will she? he came to a cave and walked in before his spear 'said' anything; She might not even know you're here...

[Grace.E]

Emrelda was distracted when she sensed a struggle. she got up and looked down at the cat. she sniffed the nasty Shiro smell. he wasn't far...he was looking for whoever hut her. she tensed when she realized it was Chrono. she sniffed the air again. he wasn't far. he escaped Taea. she had to warn him about angry Shiro. she transformed and bolted through the forest. following his scent. she found him in her cave! she climbed up the cliff she pounced and pinned him down.
"A friend of mine is looking for you...he isn't happy" she looked eastward. then back at Chrono "why are you still here in my cave?"

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro flew along the forest following the energy. There was a demonic presence here to boot. Not fun. Whoever this thing was, it is going to be a dark day for them.

It is time for payback... spirits started to form around him as he rode. Warriors, Celts, villagers, brigands... people from previous lifetimes buried in the forest. They gathered and drummed into rhythm.

"Come out come out, wherever you are..."

[KittKat chunky~]

The cat sighed, licking one paw... "People are always in such a hurry these days..." The small bell on his collar hummed angrily, the marks in the leather and metal squirming in frustration. The cat sighed again,  compelled by his binding to follow Shiro, to complete the final acts... The cat broke into a run, much faster than any normal cat could. The bell on his collar hummed happily now, for soon its deed would be done...

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono remained in his submissive position, not wanting to anger the only possible help he could get. "The horn you told me to grind and drink, it took the drug out of Taea's hold. So, I ran to get away from her, and she tried to capture me again, and after my powers went kind-of haywire I managed to get more than one snake interested in me. I was hoping I could hide out here while clamping down on the strength I give out." his eyes were unusually big for his skull as he passivly pleaded for Emrelda to hide him.

[Grace.E]

Emrelda growled, a little voice that didn't belong to her was telling her to keep him hidden. she sighed as she unpinned him. she looked out side, it was getting dark, the sun was setting. she walked over to her sleeping spot and laid down.
"First he wants to kill me, now he wants my help.." she said to herself. she stared at Chrono through the fading light. Dragons can see perfectly at anytime of day,
"Fine you can stay here" she curled up her small body. as a runt dragon she was only as a tall as a large horse. "I want to know why people are trying to kill me when I am only doing good..." she lifted her head and stared at him intently "I don't raid villages, I don't eat humans, I certainly don't eat livestock, and I don't want anything to do with world domination" her insides were heating up in anger. anger was a human emotion, dragons only felt irritation...but since was wasn't really a dragon anymore, she felt all human emotions. she rested her head down again. hiding her face behind her tail.
"I hate being misjudged all the time"  a single silver tear of frustration slid from her amber eyes. she hated showing her emotions but today has been stressful, she began to hope that this was all just a dream.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono got up only to sit back down again by Emrelda's head, and decided to add his two pence, despite being 'protected' by her good grace. "Not all demons destroy cities or ruin lives, but they're still hunted due to association, the same with dragons and any spirit that isn't declared 'holy'. You're either feared, hated, loved, or ignored by those around or "below" you." he smiles at Emrelda and his partially predatorial features seem to melt away when looking at her. "To be honest, you're one of the few dragons I actually know of beyond the face, most run at the mention of 'Blackwyng' and never tell me why..."

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro was plain pissed off. He followed the magic like a hound...

...right to Emrelda's cave.

The flames around Shiro's eyes flickered and sorta poofed, then toned down. What was this? Was Emrelda protecting him now? He walked his horse in, many confused spirits floating around the room, unseeable to the human eye. He noticed the two talking.
"Oooookay.... what did i miss... cause for all i know, last i saw you, you were scratched to hell..."

[Grace.E]

Emrelda looked at Shiro "you done now, lets talk", she looked back at Chrono "You name does not fear me, nor am I scared of you. I see good in you somewhere beyond your demonic exterior" she gave him a grin. she sighed heavily
"I guess I have no choice, since your both here...might as well tell you something" she sat up cat like. its time the Shiro and even Chrono should know of her lineage.
"Emrelda is my chosen name, my birth name is Sinsherogosa...my daddy kins up in heaven is famously know as Kamal, Keeper of Dreams and one of the three kings of Heaven..." she laid back down again and rested her head on her tail and closed her eyes. "now you know that you are under Celestial protection" she opened one eye and looked at Chrono "Taea won't find you here, even if she did she can't come in" but I am still worried about the other...four, only the three other elemental Oonagi know of Chrono and want him...but does the fifth one know? but also I am curious, are all the Oonagi female? she thought to herself.
Remember Daughter of Dreams...the plan is still in action, the first steps are already beginning in his Heart that voice wasn't Gaea's, Not her fathers. but the voice was a womans, soft, beautiful with a hint of passion. a lovers voice. Liar... she replied, the voice chuckled Suit yourself Child
Emrelda was beginning to feel very irritated by all the gods and goddesses speaking to her about 'the plan' It's not going to work, he will figure it out by the end of this month

[KittKat chunky~]

The cat followed behind Shiro, twining between his legs it mewed "So... This is the one you cam all this way to save..." He smirked, looking up at Shiro "How very... Galant... Especially for a dead necromancer..." He walked past Shiro, keeping far enough away from everyone to feel safe... In truth it was they who where in the most danger, though that would only be the case if he where released from his bonds... The cat smiled, licking his lips... Oh what a good day it would turn out to be, if one of them could just slip his collar off...

He sighed, sitting up and wrapping his tail around him... Until then he would just have to finish the vows... This necromancer would do just fine, he just had to wait for the right moment...

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro looked down at the cat, listening to it's remarks. He glared a little, and noticed the collar around its neck with ((i believe it's)) a miniature Saraneth around it.
"Wait a second... you aren't free. Your bound to someone... who is your master?"
