The dragoness was angry, no, she was well beyond angry, and after feeding her young and her mate, she stormed out of the lair, taking wing toward the forest with a roar.

One wyvern, there was one wyvern she was after, but she'd cut down any that stood in her way, no one messed with her family, her father, and especially her mate.

Snarling, she flew deeper, toward where she'd seen Kronos disappear to, there would be no stealth, no, she was going to rip him limb from limb.

::Kronos was waiting for her, and he was not alone. Matthew Spade rested upon his back, and both were changed. Kronos' scales were now green mixed with black, and Matthew's armor was pure black.:: She comes for us, but we will stop her.........

Shespotted Kronos and charged head on, swiftly avoiding the wyvern's poison tail as he snapped it out at her, trying to find an opening.

Sir Matthew Spade

::She was quick, Kronos gave her that. She avoided his tail easy enough, but he had yet to exert his new powers.:: Icer......I'm sorry for what i have caused. But it is necessary, you must understand. If we are foced to, Matthew and I will kill you......and your mate.......and wipe out your entire line.

Eyes narrowed and she charged on both, you will do no such thing..

Now she was angry, and lunging foreward, she sank her jaws deep into the wyvern's throat, ripping it open right there on the spot, NO one threatened family and got away with it.

Sir Matthew Spade

Date: 2007-10-14 11:21 EST
::What seemed to be the wyvern vanished in a cloud of smoke. No wyvern was that powerful, to possess such magics. Something serious had happened.:: You cannot stop what has already been started, Icer. In war, certain sacrifices must be made, and your husband was one of them. So was your father. Your mother, too, is a target..........and so are you.

Snarling at both the words, and the fact that the wyvern disappeared, she scanned the forest, searching, her senses on alert, but how she missed them behind her, was just a mystery.

All she knew at that moment was pain, and she stumbled, shaking out her neck, before falling, out cold on the ground.

Sir Matthew Spade

Date: 2007-10-15 07:37 EST
How......disappointing. ::This said by Matthew as he jumped off of Kronos' back.:: I was expecting a bit more of a challenge, but what can you do' ::He could have easily killed her with a mere stroke of his sword, but instead, he placed a heavy collar about her neck with a note attached to it before he and Kronos took off and away.::

Icer, When you wake, we shall be long gone, so don't bother looking for us. We could have killed you or infected you like we did your husband and father......but you are not a threat. The wyverns, once on the brink of extinction thanks to you and your family, are coming back. And when they do, nothing but death awaits you all.

Ice blue eyes blinked open, and she peered at the note snarling, rising unsteadilly a moment, and clawing at the heavy collar about her neck, before walking the direction she figured the two had gone.

Sir Matthew Spade

::Matthew was in trouble, for now he was on his own. Kronos had dumped him off yesterday, literally dropping him into a lake. He had nearly drowned with the efforts of getting out, and he was absolutely baffled as to why his beloved friend Kronos would turn on him so.:: It must be that dragon's fault! :He sneered:: I'll make her pay for this!

Icer1978

Not risking flight just yet, the dragoness moved through the trees, pausing when she arrived at the glade with the lake.

Keeping hidden, she peered out, watching Matthew, the tip of her tail twitching as she clawed again at the heavy collar.

Sir Matthew Spade

Date: 2007-10-17 08:24 EST
::He felt her there. He couldn't see her, but he felt her. He stopped in the clearing and drew his sword, a crimson blade that was surrounded by an aura of darkness. He stood there, motionless, his eyes closed and his back to her.:: I can tell your watching me, dragon. You dont spend your entire life around a wyvern and not learn how to heighten your own senses. I can smell your dragon stink from here.

Icer1978

Date: 2007-10-18 09:37 EST
Funny, I'd say your the one who stunk, she didn't leave the confines of the forest, keeping an eye on Matthew, and especially the blade.

She knew what it was.., Dragon's Bane, Matthew kept the poison on his blade, she knew from experience.

Wings rustled, but she still didn't leave the safety of the forest, ice blue eyes studying his movements, though I should ask you.., why did you place this cursed thing around my neck...

Sir Matthew Spade

Date: 2007-10-19 07:08 EST
::He smirked, and yet he still didn't move from his place.:: That collar is very special.......you see, it gives me an edge in the battle that is undoubtedly to come. It lets me read your thoughts, it lets me know what you are going to do, how you will attack me, and let me know your every strategy, before you even think of them yourself.

Icer1978

A disdainful snort was given as talons tore at the heavy collar, just too bad I keep my mind shielded, and.., giving a grin.

What about Kronos..., seems he left you...waterlogged, the dragon smirked from her spot, watching the soaked Matthew, before sending a blast of icefire hurtling forewards, her intent would be to freeze the man solid, though she'd be glad if his feet stuck to the ground, keeping her mind shielded from those that would pry.

Sir Matthew Spade

Date: 2007-10-19 09:45 EST
::He waited until the last possible moment and rolled out of the way, jumping high into the air when he gained his feet. There was a loud SNAP, and he hung in the air.......Wings the color of his wyvern, green intermingled with red, held him suspended in the air.:: Your shielded mind cannot save you.......you will die here. So will your husband, and your sons, and your daughters........and your father.

Icer1978

Date: 2007-10-19 10:27 EST
None of us shall perish, save you.., her eyes narrowed and she lunged from the treeline, jaws snapping, tearing into one of Matthew's wings, he'd done the worst thing one could ever do, he threatened family, Kin, and he would pay dearly.

Sir Matthew Spade

Date: 2007-10-20 15:20 EST
::He let out an inhuman roar as his wing was torn into, and he slashed his blade across her side. It wasn't deep enough to be fatal, but the damage was done. Once the dragonsbane was in her bloodstream, she would be forced to flee and recover.:: I will never perish. And remember this before you attack me again.........your father is attached to me, just like Kronos. Take me down, and both of them join me in the cold embrace of death!

A snarl was given both to the dragon's bane blade as it ran along her hide, and the threat, yet she released Matthew, though taking a chunk from his wing before wheeling to land back within the confines of the trees.

Ice blue eyes glared out from the forest as she tended carefully to her wound. Though she wouldn't move much, laying within the safety of the forest.

Sir Matthew Spade

Date: 2007-10-23 08:14 EST
::Even with a large chunk missing from his wing, and despite the pain and the blood loss, Matthew was able to stay in the air. He had seen where the dragoness had gone to hide, and had be not been wounded, he would have pursued to finish her for good. But as it was, he had to go heal himself, of he would be an easy target. Matthew fled as quickly as he could fly, heading for his safe hideaway.::

Icer1978

Date: 2007-10-23 10:03 EST
Ice blue eyes followed Matthew's path, and the dragoness grinned as she watched blood trickling from Matthew's wing.

Moving closer as she healed herself, a spell passed from her jaws, one that would sever a paired bonding without harming either party, yet, the words would echo in Matthew's head as he flew and the dragoness grinned.

All she had to do now was wait. Keeping watch, and letting little time pass, she slid through the trees and brush, following the blood trail Matthew left behind, the sweet coppery smell freshly fallen on the fern and leave fronds.

Keeping her distance only momentarilly, a dark grin played upon her snout as she slid around behind Matthew when she found him, jaws sinking into his windpipe, her tail wrapping itself around the sword and flinging the tainted blade off into the forest.

Her jaws locked tightly, she finished the severing spell, not only for her father, but she did it for Kronos, he'd proven himself worthy enough to her.

As for Matthew.., his time was running out.

Sir Matthew Spade

Date: 2007-10-23 12:01 EST
::How the dragon had managed to get to him while injured baffled him. Even more so how she had severed not one, but BOTH of the bonds he had held so tightly. It's true, his time was running out. He may die here, in her jaws......but he wasn't going to go alone. With a quickness only desperation can bring, a dragonsbane dagger was produced from his boot and drove deep into her throat.:: "I'll.......not go.......alone......."

Icer1978

Tearing the blade from her neck before a fatal dose could be administered, she snarled, slamming the dagger into Matthew's side.

I have too much to live for.., foolish one.., a shake of her head, watching, waiting for Matthew to expire.

Sir Matthew Spade

Date: 2007-10-24 07:26 EST
::Matthew's time had at last come. The dagger stabbed into his side administered a lethal dose of dragonsbane into his own body. Since he was once bonded to Kronos, he gained the blood of the dragonkin, and in the end, his best weapon took his own life.

However..........It has yet to be seen what, if any, effects this will have on Kronos, his former wyvern, and Aurok, the other to whom he had been attached.::

Ripping the dagger out of the deceased matthew, the dragon sent it hurtling into the muck, where it sank from view, never to be used against she, or her kind again.

Rumbling then, she slid through the trees, slowly, dragging the corpse along, her wings getting snagged along the way, but she'd not fly, not with the dose of Dragon's bane still in her system, a roar was given then, and soon she was out cold.

Aurthur Shimmerscale

::Aurthur had recently recovered, and once he had gotten wind that his mate had went out to hung Matthew alone, he was hot on her trail. Unfortunately, he was too late to stop the attack, and when he heard her roar, a savage pain gripped his heart, making him gasp out in pain. A special link had formed between them over time, and he felt her pain as though it were his own. He was not far from her, but for now, he had to go to ground, otherwise his flight would fail and he would smash into it instead.

Once on the ground, he followed her scent trail and found blood all over the ground, and a trail of it as though a body were being dragged. He followed it and there found his mate.:: My love! Are you alright"! What has happend" ::He cradled her head to him, and it was then that he discovered her wound, and he hissed as he smelled the foul taint of Dragonsbane. He could suck the venom out, but it would inevitably kill him, so he began to use his healing magic instead, concentrating with all his might. He would not lose her......not to the likes of Matthew.::

Icer1978

Date: 2007-10-25 10:44 EST
Ice blue eyes slowly opened, and she smiled, cuddling against her mate then, Matthew's lifeless body laying not far from them.

Matthew is gone my love.., can we go home?

She was being careful, standing a little shakily at first, leaning against her mate as he sent his healing into her.

Soon then, there was no Dragon's Bane left in her system, and she stretched, flapping her wings once to test them, before nuzzling back against her mate.

Aurthur Shimmerscale

Date: 2007-10-27 12:08 EST
::He sighed with relief as his mate recovered from the dragonsbane, hugging her close to him. Tears streamed down his cheeks, and he nuzzed her happily.:: Yes my love.......of course we can go home.

Icer1978

Date: 2007-10-27 15:02 EST
Nuzzling his tears away, she smiled and cuddled close, gently nipping his ear. Perhaps you could carry me? Aurthur got a hopeful look, and a kiss stolen right then and there.

Aurthur Shimmerscale

Date: 2007-10-30 19:25 EST
::He sniffed, then laughed softly as he was nipped.:: You know that i have no problem with carrying you home, my beloved. ::He scooped her up easily in his arms and took flight, heading towards their home.:: But when we get there, i think you should lie down and rest for a few days......just to be sure the dragonsbane is out of your system completely. You dont need to be pushing yourself.

Icer1978

Date: 2007-10-31 21:19 EST
Snuggling against her mate, nipping his ear lightly. I'm fine love, but maybe I will rest for a little while at least.

Yawning then, she fell asleep in his arms, cuddled close, just the way she liked to be, obviously the dragoness was exhausted.
