Slipping down the stairs of the Inn, the dragon unfurled her wings and took to the air, gliding on the cool breeze, she headed toward the school.

Taking her time, she wasn't in any rush, she enjoyed the cool breeze blowing across her scales, and the sights she'd missed for so long.

People around the town now paid little attention to the dragon, having gotten used to her, some even waved as she glided overhead, returning the greetings, she continued on until the school was in sight.

Landing in front of the building, she glanced around a moment, before moving toward the door, and settling, she tilted her head a moment, before knocking with her tail.

Is anyone home?

A red-haired elven woman came to the door.

"Oh my! Is there something I can help you with?"

Icer1978

Date: 2006-11-11 22:53 EST
Blue eyes blinked as she nodded to the red haired woman, dipping her serpentine neck in greeting.

I came to visit a friend..., her name is Tina.

A feminine voice, with a rather thick accent, seemed to call from somewhere down the hall. It was the Cook in the hallway beside the dinning room, after half hearing the door being answered.


"Oi now, who's 'ere? We've got another one fer dinner, Lass? Speak up now. Do tell so I can make sure I fix enough."

So much for formalities.... it must have shocked the dear Headmaster's assistant into sheer silence for the woman said nothing for several moments......

The cook moved from the dining room to the front door area and offered a warm dimpled smile to the dragoness.

"Aye, yer one of Tina an Sha'uri's friend, no? I've heard 'em talk about ye, that is if yer name be Icer. They're up in the classroom right now an probably due fer a break any time now. Would ye like me 't take ye up there?"

The cook waited patiently for her answer.

Icer1978

Date: 2006-11-30 21:18 EST
The dragon nodded quietly before speaking, yes I am Icer, but I'm in no hurry.

Shauri

Date: 2006-12-02 14:46 EST
"No trouble at all. Please, I'll take you to the kitchen. They're due for snacks any minute. I've got refreshment in there already set up for them so perhaps it's best for you to wait there. It'll be a good place for you to wait, give 'em a good surprise it will. Right this way..."

The cook beckoned Icer to follow as she led her to the kitchen and a table with snacks and drinks waiting. Then the cook moved out of the room.

Up in the classroom, Sha'uri put down her book and set it on the table.

"Ready for a break Cupcake? I'll race you down there! One, two three... go!"

She pretended to get her foot caught in a chair, giving Tina the headstart to the kitchen...... and they were both running for the stairs.

:: And she bolted like a flash...well as fast as her little legs could take her..she ran and weaved until she entered the kitchen with no Sha'uri..jumping for joy she giggled to the cook::

I beat Sha'uri!...

:: Her voice cut off a bit as she turned and let out a little squeel of delight::

Icer!

:: And off she went to give her a hug::

Icer1978

Date: 2006-12-13 11:36 EST
The dragon followed quietly behind the cook, she'd just gotten to the kitchen when she heard a familiar voice, a smile and hug were then given.

Hello Tina, I thought I'd drop by and surprise you, winking to the girl, afer all, I did promise that I'd visit you. So how have you been?

Shauri

Date: 2006-12-13 15:25 EST
Sha'uri paused at the top of the steps, hearing Tina's squeel of laughter and Icer's name. A broad smile was genuinely splayed across her visage and she jumped down the stairs three at a time.

"Hey there my friend! Welcome. Good to see you, Icer. It's been quite a long time, no?"

She gave her a hug and motioned to the table,

"Help yourself hun."

She moved to take a seat on the other side, grabbing a cup of tea, which the cook had poured three, and two big 'ol sugar cookies cut in the shapes of angels and dragons. She had one of each.

Icer1978

Date: 2006-12-15 23:39 EST
A smile as she looked over to Shauri, yes it's been quite awhile my friend, and I'd like to thank you for the gift on my hatching day, it's coming in very handy.

Shauri

Date: 2006-12-17 20:30 EST
"I'm glad."

She beamed a smile and took a bite out of the angel cookie, snapping off a wing into her mouth. The morsel seemed to melt in her mouth with a heavenly flavor mirrored on her dreamy visage and soft utterance of pleasure. The cookie seemed to be just what she needed. She shifted the plate a bit closer to Tina and Icer.

"Mmmm... These are so buttery. Good."

Icer1978

Date: 2006-12-24 23:06 EST
A blink as she watched Shauri pushing the plate toward her, then carefully, a talon reached out and she picked up one of the cookies, studying it curiously and sniffing it before slipping it between her jaws, and tilting her neck back, she let the confection slide down her throat.

Tina Storms

Date: 2006-12-27 17:41 EST
:: She took up a cookie and with small bites she ate..and then she ate a little faster with a beaming smile to the cook she lifted one up and waved for the cook to join..she didn't want to leave any friends out you know::

Shauri

Date: 2006-12-27 21:06 EST
Lyndra came back in the room with a tray full of dirty dishes. She set them down and looked over to see how well her cookies were being eaten. The look on their faces as they ate was thanks enough for this cook. She beamed brightly at Tina, but shook her head.

"Thanks, love, but I've gotta get these dishes done up. Besides, I already had three. Shhh"

Lyndra put her finger to her lips and winked to the girl, assuring her she hadn't missed out. Then she set about her task of doing the dishes..

Sha'uri finished her cookie and sipped her tea.

"So, anything new your way, Icer? How's your husband? And, Brian and Jen? And Ty?"

Icer1978

Date: 2006-12-27 23:06 EST
Settling beside Tina, her gaze returned to Shauri after she had finished her cookie. My mate is fine as are Brian and Jen and Ty.. well.. lowering her voice to speak softly, he's a hatchling again.

Shauri

Date: 2006-12-29 18:00 EST
Blink. Several more blinks followed upon dumbfounded expression. It was obvious she was struggling with that last bit of information.

"uh... is a hatchling? What happened?"

Icer1978

Date: 2006-12-29 20:00 EST
I'm not really sure what happened, all I know is that he hatched again around eleven days ago.

Shauri

Date: 2006-12-30 16:38 EST
She thought about it a moment with a grin forming. She couldn't help it, the thought just came to her.

"Was he trying to see which came first, the dragon or the egg?"

Mirth twinkled in her sapphire hues though she well knew the seriousness of the situation.

"Just kidding. Poor Ty..... we'll have to be sure to introduce ourselves to him again.

Icer1978

Date: 2007-01-04 03:01 EST
A soft chuckle was given, yes, you will have to and he's quite the clawful, but then, so are the rest of my little ones.

Shauri

Date: 2007-01-04 17:57 EST
"Oh, not Ty..." she teased, feigning that surprised look for all of two seconds before she winked and chuckled.

"Eh, yeah, I know the feeling. My boys, Alexander and Bryce, were a handful and a half. Must be that dragon thing... Thankfully, I only had two, rather far apart, too. I would hate to see how they would've been had they been born closer together. With Alex so wrapped up in technology and Bryce as the braun, they probably would've blown up the Nexus or something. Thankfully, they're all grown up now. So how many kids do you have, Icer?"

Icer1978

Date: 2007-01-06 19:24 EST
Biting her tongue a minute as she heard Shauri, she glanced toward the floor, then back toward her friend. I have twelve Shauri.

Shauri

Date: 2007-01-08 15:28 EST
Blinks! Her eyes couldn't have been bigger, sapphire hues a beacon of mirth building to overflow with laughter as it finally burst from her throat... true, throaty laughter!

"By the goddess of fertility herself! Bless your heart Icer!"

She got up and hugged the dragon, her friend.

"You truly are blessed... twelve... always wanted a big family myself but.. wow, that is a lot of children!"

She sighed gently as she sat back down, trying to hide that tinge of sadness and stuff it, the pity party, back down into her pool of emotion. She really had wanted a big family of her own, but knew it would never happen. She'd be, and was truly, happy for Icer to have such things.

"I would probably mix up their names. How do you keep it all straight?"

Icer1978

Date: 2007-01-08 18:58 EST
Smiling as she was hugged by Shauri, sometimes even I get them mixed up, but now you know why I tend to try and stay away from my lair now and then, it's rather hard after all to sleep with twelve little ones pouncing you awake at every hour of the night.

Shauri

Date: 2007-01-08 19:41 EST
Nods.

"Well, you are welcome to come sneak a knap here any time you feel the need... use any guest room or where ever you feel comfortable. I sometimes shift to dragon form and use the roof on a sunny day... usually on the week ends. It's very peaceful up there, though it does need some cushioning.

Icer1978

Date: 2007-01-09 10:01 EST
A soft chuckle was given and she nodded to Tina and Shauri.

I wouldn't mind a nap now and th.... before she could even finish, the dragon's head had hit the floor and she was snoozing, even if she didn't want to show it, she was exhausted.

Shauri

Date: 2007-01-10 16:05 EST
Her gaze followed as dragon snout met the cool kitchen floor.

Blink. :shock:

Sapphires shifted her gaze to Tina.

"Now.. that's really tired."

Nod.

"Well, Cupcake... now is as good of a time as any to show you how to cast that levitate spell. I'll get her levitated to take her upstairs if you'd open doors for me that would help."

Setting her tea down, she stood up and held her hand level, palm down over Icer's sleeping form while a few arcane words were spoken softly, yet with authority. The energy made her hand glow momentarily as she touched Icer gently. The dragons's form lifted slowly off the ground. Sha'uri looked to Tina.

"Okay, hun, lead the way to one of the bedrooms up there near ours."

She would follow her up.

Icer1978

Date: 2007-01-11 11:37 EST
The dragon was blissfully unaware that she was floating, and any that spotted her might think that the dragon hadn't slept for ages.

Still being floated along by Shauri, she was napping peacefully.

Briarius

Date: 2007-01-11 20:55 EST
The Headmaster walked by with a man, apparently giving a tour. The man just stared agape at the floating dragon.

"...and this is our kitchen area where our Mistress Lyndra tak...is something the matter?", the Headmaster noted the man's expression.

"Th...th...a....a...dra....dragon...."

"Ah! I see we have a visitor!"

The man faints.

"Perhaps...a slower introduction to life in RhyDin...", he turns to Sha'uri and Tina. "What have you two done to Mistress Icer?"

Shauri

Date: 2007-01-12 16:29 EST
The poor man.. Sha'uri couldn't help but grin, mirthful hues twinkled as she gazed at Bri. She put a finger to her lips, hopefully in time to keep the dragon from being roused, and gave the Headmaster a good Shush, which was kind of fun.

"Nothing." she whispered, keeping her tones hushed.

"Being a mother of so many, she's just exhausted, unlike our other poor guest. I hope he didn't messed himself. YOu get to clean up thAt mess."

She gave Bri a wink.

Icer1978

Date: 2007-01-13 04:53 EST
There was a flick of an ear as the Headmaster spoke, as well as a yawn, but still the dragon slept.

Tina Storms

Date: 2007-01-13 13:00 EST
: She giggles a little when Icer just fell asleep and slowly nods to her mother as she lead the way up to the other bedrooms her eyes falling to the man who had fainted...soo..being the girl she is she finds a cloth with cool water..sets it on his forhead and straightens him out so he is comfortable all before she gave her father a hug::

Shauri

Date: 2007-01-14 18:05 EST
Sapphires full of mirth, Sha'uri covered her mouth to keep from giggling as she watched her little girl play nurse. She wasn't making fun of her, no.. it was more of a proud of my girl kind of thing for Tina helping the man out.

"You did a good job, Tina. That was very thoughtful of you. Thank you."

She winked to Bri as she took Icer up to one of the guest beds and set her down to rest comfortably. The door was shut quietly, leaving Icer alone, and Sha'uri made her way back downstairs.

Briarius

Date: 2007-01-14 23:25 EST
The Headmaster was just setting the man on a couch in the recieving area.

Icer1978

Date: 2007-01-15 03:03 EST
Laying coiled up on the bed, one eye opened slightly as the door was closed, then yawning, she rolled onto her otherside, making herself more comfortable and closing her eye once more.

Shauri

Date: 2007-01-15 06:21 EST
Not seeing anyone in the kitchen, except Lyndra, Sha'uri made her way towards the front when the cook pointed her that direction. She entered the receiving room to find them.

"So, who is he?" she asked as she came to stand by Briarius."

Briarius

Date: 2007-01-15 19:22 EST
"A member of the RhyDin Education Ministry."

He looked down at the man.

"I would have thought he was better prepared for a dragon."

Shauri

Date: 2007-01-15 19:33 EST
Snickers, though tries not to.

"Can you imagine what he'd have done if he saw me in dragon form?"

Briarius

Date: 2007-01-15 19:49 EST
The Headmaster snorts.

"Perhaps we should bring him around"

Shauri

Date: 2007-01-15 20:05 EST
Nods, pulling out some smelling salts in one hand and a glass of water in the other. She sets the glass down and moves closer to the man's head, breaking open the aweful smelling stuff and waves it under his nose, patting his cheek gently.

"Sir? wake up, sir."

Briarius

Date: 2007-01-15 21:30 EST
The man comes to

"Wha...what happened?! Headmaster Ravensheart! What was the meaning of that?"

"If one is running a school for the magickaly gifted, one has to have magickal beasts around, correct?"

"Well..." He looks to Sha'uri. "Who are you?"

Shauri

Date: 2007-01-16 17:48 EST
She grins, an impishness was seeping in as she tossed the salts over her shoulder.

"One of the magical beasts... who teaches."

She winked and gave the man the water.

"Here, drink some water."

Briarius

Date: 2007-01-16 22:01 EST
The man stands and leaves

The Headmaster looks confused.

Shauri

Date: 2007-01-18 15:50 EST

Sha'uri looked as confused as Briari.

"Are you sure he was from the RhyDin Educational place? I would have thought one from RhyDin would've been used to such things as magic and beasts of all sorts.."

Shrug.
