[Closed] The Aerial Exploration Syndicate (RP for Non-Anthros that can fly)

[Niphi]

Niphi frowns down at the young dragons with a hint of curiosity, "The old drake on the boarder told you to come out here?" She shakes her head, evidently disapproving,"Who is this drake?"

[Sarrus]

"He was old." She stammers "an old yellow drake..." she pauses "he had no eyes but he seemed nice."

[Niphi]

Niphi's nostrils flare and she grimaces, "Anyone who sends children out into this forsaken place is not 'Nice'," she turns to Sarrus and Tan, "Do you think this is worth checking out?"

[Razuel]

Raz walked towards the little drakes and lowered his head to the one he hurt and he gave her a small little dragon shaped gem, "I'm sorry for hurting you, little one... please, I know that you may not forgive me for hurting you... but, please, take this small gem as an offering for your forgiveness...", Raz looked up at Sarrus and gave them a weak smile.

[Sarrus]

Sarrus meets Raz's eye as he looks up at him for a moment, his expression one of scrutiny before nodding slowly. Then he turns to Niphi and purses his lips in thought. "I think it would be better to press on with our mission." He turns to Tan, "What do you think?"

The young dragoness looks down at the gem, flinching a little as Raz draws close to set it before her. After a long pause she asks, "D..Did you make it?"

[Razuel]

Raz nodded to the little dragon, "Yes... I did... although my fire can be used to make explosions, the harmless crystals in it can be pressured together to make a beautiful sparkling gem... but please, do forgive me..."

[Angder]

"Heading back would be a waste of time, there is no guarantee we could even find whoever let these two out here. We should just keep moving" Tan states. "Besides. I doubt these two will come back out here anytime soon." He turns to the two young drakes, glaring at them, almost snarling as he speaks. "Unless you two have any further plans?"

[Sarrus]

The  young dragoness looks into the gem. "Its very pretty..."  Both her and her brother recoil at tan's words, though, both shaking there heads.

"That settles it then, we press on." Sarrus says, stepping back up to the group.

-- Day 10 --

Aside from the fire, the journy has been more or less trouble free with Sarrus leading the group in the direction of the previous expedition. The previous day, the dragons passed the point at which the Syndicate's records of the area ended.

Not long into their venture into uncharted lands, they come across a strange sight, a vast, smooth lake that reflects almost perfectly, like a mirror. Right in the middle of the lake is an island that appears perfectly square.

Spotting the island, Sarrus calls out, "We should check that out! It almost looks... man made."

[Razuel]

Raz nodded and started to descend on a low part of the island, landing on it and feeling the dirt beneath him, "It feels weird... I don't like this..."

[Angder]

Tan flies low over the water, pausing to hover just behind Raz, observing the island for any sign of movement. "We are dragons" he mutters "If anyone is about, we can assume they have seen us."

[Niphi]

Niphi glides down after the group towards the strangely shaped island. She flies down low, skimming the lake surface as she heads towards the shore, looking down at the water with interest before dipping a talon in and dragging it through the strangely still water on her way to land on the island's shore, "Nature doesn't do straight lines, I've never seen anything like this," she looks up the clear line of the water's edge on the island's shore, "Anyone know why someone would build something like this?"

[Sarrus]

Sarrus lands last, looking around the island. Right in the center of it is a square hole and a set of stairs leading down under the lake. Sarrus looks over at it uncomfortably. "That's easily big enough to admit a dragon... I supose we should go in, the previous expedition must have seen this."

[Razuel]

Raz looked at it and felt uneasy, "Sir,  I know that we're expanding such and such, but that may not be wise to go in blind... we should wait a bit to see if someone goes in or coes out... don't you think?"

[Angder]

Tan shakes his head. "I would not have thought one such as you would scare so easily Raz." Tan moves a few steps towards the stairs, then glances back at Niphi and Sarrus. "Though perhaps someone  physically stronger should go first, in case there is something nasty or aggressive down there."

[Razuel]

Raz gave a growl, "I am strong! But I'm also smart, and in such a case, it'd be best to wait to see if someone or something comes out or goes in...", Raz then gave a sigh, "Besides, being scared is different from being reasonable..."
