OoC: @Ven Several players are playing villans as well as heroes so we can have a "team vs team" dynamic as opposed to the old "group of heroes vs one op bad guy". Kinda like what we're planning for the TDM thread.
OOC: I get it. Lets see how it works out.
Daniel crawled out of the cave, yawning again as he opened wide his maw. Arching his neck he investigated the area around his cave. Some levity had returned to him after his brief seclusion and he took to the sky to see if those people were still here or if they had moved on.

OOC: Ok, I guess I'll see it when we have a fight again.
Incidentally, if anyone here hasn't already seen the Dark Knight Rises, make plans to see it as soon as possible.

OoC: @Berk Sorry, didn't mean to direct that last post to you.
Anyway, I'm kinda at a loss with what to do with Makoto, so I'll just lurk.

Daniel circled high, having spotted where the group was. He waited for a cloud bank to move lower so he could decend.
AEanna passed James on the gangway, smiling at him as she went, and he responded with a casual salute. Strolling across the long grassy land, she made her way down to the shingle of the lakeside, taking a deep appreciative breath, pleased with the cooler, fresher air of the lake compared to the hot, muggy climate of the rainforest.
Too late Daniel noticed a thermal pocket rising, seemingly out of nowhere. At his leisurly glide he wasn't prepared for the sudden rise on his left wing. The leathary membrance tugging at his side and knocking him into a spin. He roared in frustration as he spun towards a lake.
AEanna went as far as the water's edge, where it gently lapped against the shore, forming small patterns in the shingle and then obliterating them in the next swash. Lazily watching the repetitive process and enjoying the sun, AEanna raised her hand, focusing on a larger ovoid cobble worn smooth by the water. It raised itself slowly and silently into the air, hovering before her eyes, and began to spin rapidly before suddenly launching itself out over the water. She smiled as it skipped across the surface three or four times before sinking, but as it went down, she was suddenly startled by a distant roar and searched around wildly for the source.
With a final outburst Daniel landed in the lake with a mighty crash. Completely disorientated he twisted and squirmed as he tried to find which way was up so he could rise. Some calm returned as he located the correct direction and began swimming towards the surface.
AEanna yelped in fright as a huge dark object thundered down out of the clear sky and crashed into the lake surface with a great explosion of white foam. A moment later she yelped again as the waves from the impact reached the shore and washed right over her, drenching her and plastering her hair and her simple dress to her golden skin. Struggling to her feet against the rushing backwash she stumbled back a few steps, spluttering and cursing with wounded dignity as water ran down her face.
James watched with equal parts amusement and concern, and unslung his sniper rifle as he began to walk down to the beach.

With a roar he broke the surface of the water, scales slick and soaked. How had he not seen that thermal. Some dragon, to fall out of the sky during a simple glide. Thinking of the failure on worsened his mood and he began to swim towards the nearest shore, the top of his head and the tips of his wings as well as the ridge along his back were visible. I cannor believe that! He snarled as he paddled.
AEanna, still disoriented and half blinded by her sodden hair and water dripping down her face couldn't see the lake, but James saw the v shaped bow wave travelling through the water and saw the dark shape beneath it. He also realised that AEanna hadn't noticed it.
"Oh, shit." He hissed, and took off at a full sprint toward the beach.

Daniel was close enough to the shore now and his claws just scraped the floor allowing him to begin dragging himself from the water.
AEanna flicked her hair back so that it trailed down her back and left her eyes clear, wiping water from her large eyes with the palms of her hands. When she lowered them, she froze in shock at the sight of the dragon rising out of the waves with sheets of water spraying from his wings and back. Suddenly James was beside her, drawing back the bolt of his rifle with a violent, practiced tug and levelling the weapon at it.
"Get back!" He barked at her, and as he did so, a memory came to AEanna of her conversation with Erica quite some time ago.
"James, wait!" She hissed urgently.
