The League: Bloodlines ((Started/Closed))

[tobi the good boy]

Bewilderment erupt across Contristo's faces as he witnessed a large shard of stone fly just past his left ear. The inside of the floating debris was visible for just a second as the piece shot forth.

The interior was a crimson red that pulsated, Contristo had noticed it when the stone began to crack A mighty roar echoed within the cage. He felt the pull of some invisible force tug at his clothes trying to pull him into the epicentre of the beast, however he managed to stand his ground. More stone rose from the earth beneath the floating cage and quickly covered the emerging holes where the leaking blood red light shone through.

A spark lit in the depths of Contristo's mind. The creature that had caused the carnage all around him had returned. This woman that begged at his heels moments earlier was the Dragon.

" RUN! "

Contristo quickly crossed his arms in an 'X' shape and commanded the shadows to come to his aid. The serpent coiled around his wrist faded and a torrent of black mist swirled around him.

When the mist had settled Contristo was standing in the exact same position he had been earlier but surrounding him was a glistening black ribcage made out of a material similar to the black glass found near volcano's. The black mist had thinned out but still radiated from the large construct.

Zech stared down the Roman leader, carefully picking out the key words of the Latin he spoke. He had learned a bit of it from hearing his companions speak, along with the Romans. Fighting an enemy became much easier when you spoke the language. Unfortunately he could not speak it; only understand pieces of it. He responded in Aramaic.

"We did not ask to be saved; you forced your rule. Now I fight for our freedom from you."

He looked to his side to see the Dragon there. He hid his terror and projected confidence that its arrival would benefit him. "You may find yourself at a disadvantage, Roman."

The tomb was being covered quicker than it could shed. Matrion thought she had won the fight to keep the beast caged. Oh how wrong she was.

The shell disintegrated and a swirling vortex of fire shot up into the air about a hundred feet. There was a loud roar that turned into laughter. "to think that she could contain me, pity." The dragon said as the fire subsided.

He walked over to Contristo. "you are the scholar am i correct? you want to study me, look at me, right? i think i'll keep you as a pet, then you could look at me all day." the amount of heat coming off the dragon was uncomfortable but not burning. he flicked one of his claws against the cage the man was in. "Pretty."

 

[tobi the good boy]

Contristo watched as the monstrous creature scraped its claw along the surface his his barrier. Contristo was surprised that the mighty beast could speak so elegantly in its draconian form. It took a great deal of his willpower but Contristo managed to compose himself and return to a dignified position.

" I admit, a creature like yourself would be a fascinating thing to examine. But I have no desire to be a lowly pet "

Contristo raised a single hand aloft before the beast, behind his cage of protection, and clicked his fingers. As he did a skeletal arm erupted from above the rib cage and drove into the beast with a great force.

As the beast took the blow and skidded to the side the shape of the cage began to grow. A shoulder blade had formed with a collar bone to match, a neck and skull was beginning to sprout forth creating a terrifying visage.

 

[mcpop9]

"Amusing trick, make me let my guard down to hear what you saying. i may be a day old but i'm not that stupid boy!" the dragon shouted and stopped skidding. He stretched his wings out in front of him. a massive ball of fire started to form in between them. "no names before we fight? i'll tell you mine, I am Elding, The white Dragon!" he launched the ball at Contristo

 

[CJ1145]

As the fireball flung itself at Contristo, a shimmering golden figure flung itself in front of it. For a split second, Zech wondered whether he should have simply grabbed his ally and avoided the fireball when it struck him head-on, scorching the air around him as his shield dissipated. He fell to the ground and sent dirt and sand flying as he tumbled several feet away. He made a dull groan of pain as he neglected the need to stand and fight a few precious moments.

"Mand uh'm Zhek..." he mumbled somewhat incoherently on the ground.

 

[tobi the good boy]

"Contristo, scholar and generally grumpy old man" He introduced, his voice was flat and betrayed no feeling

The ball of flame fired at an astounding speed, Contristo had barely enough time to draw the arm of the shadowy construct in to provide a second barrier to dampen the blast. When the flames connected a great gale of smoke formed where Contristo was last seen. As the smoke was settling a silhouette could be made out. Contristo was still in the ribs of his shadows but the skeletal arm was broken and seemed to have returned to it's black mist like origins.

The Shadows began to swirl again, reforming the arm but this time it wasn't a mere skeletal appendage, It looked to be wrapped in a black musculature that began spreading to the rest of the construct.

Contristo looked to his left and saw a man with golden hair fling from the impact zone of the blast. He attempted to rise while muttering something under his breath.

 

[mcpop9]

"Amazing sense of..." the dragon seemed to stumble, looking for the word. "companionship. never the less, you should never interrupt a duel." Elding raised a finger and the man started to float. he sat him down on some rubble, far enough out of the way of harm and to watch the duel. his attention snapped back to the man in the shadows. So no one else interrupts lets do this." a ring of fire was created that encompassed Contristo and Elding. "slathalin"

.
Titus stared at the creature standing in the distance. Remember the Germans. Assess their strength " Run. Now. Go to Caesarea Maritima. They won't believe you. Tell the General that Titus Equitius, his man, his evocati, saw the Germans here. He'll know what to do." Titus commanded the fearful soldier. His hands began pulsing even more than earlier.
This will hurt

 

[tobi the good boy]

Contristo braced himself for the flames. The shadows had always retained a cold embrace but this time was not the case. Flames engulfed Contristo and had he not been in his construct he surely would have been roast to death.

The shadowy skeleton sprouted another arm giving it a sense of symmetry. Contristo's creation was now entirely muscled which added another layer of defence on top of the 'bones'.

As the Dragon began to advance Contristo made one more alteration to the design of his monstrous creation He created sharp edges on the tips of the fingers to give it some cutting power.

While Contristo remained motionless, the Great shadow raised its arm and lunged at the beast. The Dragon expected a simple blow like it had received earlier only to be surprised by an attack with at least threefold as much force. The jagged claw on the thumb of the Shadow had left a gaping gash along one of the white Dragons wings and sent it into the ground leaving a great crater it its wake.

The all encompassing flames dissipated and as they did the Shadows began to fade. Just as the infernal blaze had finally died down the shadows has returned to it's mist like form with Contristo on his knees gasping for air.

Spoiler: OOC

Dragon ain't defeated, just wounded and Contristo is tired you guys deal with her

 

[mcpop9]

Elding got up and prepare to charge another fireball, he spit blood onto the ground. "I shall destroy you and this entire village!" he raised his right arm and a ball of fire appeared in it.

The Dragon started to grin, well as much as one could. the ball grew to the size of a beachball then stopped. The grin turned to pure horror. Its right arm began to jerk slowly towards Eldings head. "No its not possible... I WON AGAINST YOU, YOU BI- but was cut short by its hand reaching the side of its head and blasting it point blank range with the fireball.

The dragon was thrown from the blast and knocked out, but still in dragoniod form.

"Everybody stand back, get the wounded out of here." Onyx shouted out, watching as the dragon flew backwards from the force of its own fireball exploding on the side of its head. Onyx wondered what this beast was up to, and before he knew it he was grasping his glaive in both hands. He boldy stepped forward to where the dragon lay unconscious, and jumped up onto the dragon's motionless body. He carefully made his way to the dragon's neck and waited to see whether it would wake up, because despite it being a killer... there was still a girl somewhere inside it, and Onyx would be damned if he was going to kill her.

 

[mcpop9]

Matrion came out of the back of its mind and took control of the body, something felt different though. Her body was larger than before and she felt power flowing though it. Then came the pain, it was a pain of a magnitude that she never felt before. Her eyes opened and started to dart around. then Matrion let out a scream, it came out as a roar. the roar was noticeably more high pitched and feminine than before when eliding had control.

She felt a heavy weight on her chest and a coldness at her throat. Matrion didn't move a muscle besides her eyes and an involuntary twitching of the damaged wing.

 

[DragonofDecay86]

"Girl, are you back?" Onyx questioned, in a hushed whisper that only the dragon could hear. The roar the dragon had let out earlier hadn't been the same as now, and Onyx was hesitant to slice the dragon's head off if it was still the girl.

"Give me a sign if its you."

 

[mcpop9]

Matrion tried to speak but since the mouth was different than a human one she failed miserably. some sound came out of its mouth that was a mix between a roar and a gurgle. a hint of flame exited the tip of her snout.

she dared not move for the knife at her throat.

 

[DragonofDecay86]

"I take that as a yes, otherwise I probably would've been dragon food right now. You want to get out of here right, because those soldiers aren't going to let you live. Throw me as hard as you can into one of the nearby buildings, and then make your getaway. I won't be hurt, so just do it." Onyx whispered, easing the glaive off the dragon's throat but still keeping it low enough to make it seem like he was about to behead the dragon.

Onyx could already feel the familiar sensation as armor slowly covered every inch of his body starting from the center of his chest outward. Once the dragon threw him, he would armor himself up before he hit something so he wouldn't get hurt too badly.

 

[mcpop9]

Paralyzing pain shot up and down Mation's spine when she tried to move. She shook her head, not going anywhere anytime soon. after a bit of practice she got a few words out. "Leave, fate.. soldiers, Be.. fine."

 

[mcpop9]

Spoiler: ooc

large fight many flames, matrion on the ground with pyro on top of her and indragon form. she is struggling to understand the new body she's in and has a torn wing membrane.

 

[DragonofDecay86]

"So you'd rather be killed for something you had no control over, then get away? They won't care about whether you couldn't control it, and they don't care about excuses. They want your head girl." Onyx said, glancing back at the others to see if any of them had made a move to kill the dragon, but so far none of them had, "Don't be stupid. You can atone for the sins you've created here in other ways then dying."
