Glacie and Hilter where having the time of their life playing in the backwoods they called home when a nightmare intruded and started to chat with them. Glacie said "And how are the eastern dragons fairing nightmare?" "Oh they are fine although the chief has had some problems with a family of rouge whispering deaths but its nothing they cant handle and mind I ask why you 2 live together are not adult timberjacks are usually solitary?" Hilter said "Well we find surviving together much more preferable it gets lonely out there" "Indeed it does." added Glacie. "have you heard of the rumors that an ebonystriker is camped near here down the river not far?" At this both Glacie and Hilter let out a gasp. "no but our adopted father is a ebonystriker. He saved us along with our brother as hatchlings after we where abandoned. Did this ebonystriker hapen to be a dark purple?" "Why yes he was but I also heard he was mortally wounded and he might not survive well I have to go. but if you look for him hes camped out with a skrill and night fury along with a few humans there's a juvenile smokebreath there 2." said the nightmare as he took of north. For 10 whole minutes neither of the twins said anything till Glacie said "Well if its father we need to help him out and I really miss him so much I think we should head there." "Agreed sister and I bet the smokebreath is why hes their you know how much of a sucker for kids he is. I cant wait but I hope hes fine?" "quiet brother hes as tough as nails nothings bringing him down." "Ty sister you allways know how to lighten the mood." "I try my best." And with that the timberjacks flew off down the river hoping to be reunited with their dear father again.

When Jorgen entered the tent, he saw that both Azronicle and Rovertson were awake and seemed well. "Well, you seem well, all things considered." Jorgen said lightly. The Ebonystriker that had been Roversten responded, but Jorgen didn't understand dragonese. "Yeah, umm, hold that though. Shock, maybe you are better suited for this, I'll be outside." Jorgen said before leaving the tent. It took all his will power to not rush back into the tent to prod and probe at Rovertson. No matter how curious he got, Rover's welfare came first. ___________________
"Well," Shockstorm said once Jorgen had left, "How does it feel to be a dragon?" Rovertson responded "Weird but great in a way, My sight is all neon and I can see the wind drifting around us its so distracting, but I know that's only a trait of ebonystrikers so you wouldn't know it. And its extremely cool to be able to hear everything around me even to the smalest ant. Although its weird to have wings I cant move them at all I don't know how to someones going to have to teach me. And I feel so powerfull like I could move mountains and break trees. My skin is so wet with this poison and I can feel my spines I just have no idea how to use them. and the smell alone is fantastic! And having a tails creepy." Haze hopped up to Rovertson in amazement, "So you really did become a dragon! Did it hurt? What caused it? Are you a dragon forever or will you change back to a human?" Haze would've kept going, but Azronicle interrupted. "Young Haze hes still weak and he needs to recover his strength, Please let him be for now, for me." "Aww, all right. I'll stop for now." Haze said dejectedly. "But dont be sad little one, don't worry he can talk to you later in the meantime can you go play ill bring you the biggest cod I can find and tell more stories dear one." said Azronicle. "Really? Yay!" Haze flew out of the tent buzzing with excitement. Shockstorm sighed before addressing Azronicle, "He may be an annoying little fire spit, but thanks for, you know, tearing out your spike to save him. He really grows on you, doesn't he?" Shockstorm said. "Yes he does I have always had a soft spot for hatchlings but I find myself more attached to him then most, I sorta have a habit of seeing every one of them as my own and feel the need to protect them." said Az. "Anyway," Shockstorm said, turning back to Rovertson, "are you feeling any signs of weakness, or disease. We need to know if there are any bad side affects. As far as I know this has never happened before, and even the one other Ebonystriker I had met never mentioned anything like this happening!" "Im fine but so very weak I don't think ill be moving much for awile." Rovertson replied. "Okay, if you say so. But try to take it easy, we've met our quota for near death experiences." Shockstorm said before stepping out of the tent.
Once outside, Shockstorm heard a sound that he did not want to hear. They were some ways away but he'd recognize the sound anywhere, the sound of a race of dragon that Shockstorm has not had a very good history with, especially in this region. "Timberjacks!" Shockstorm roared into the sky. Can this day get any worse! Azronicles eyes just bulged knowing full well the sound of his daughters voice. "Glacie Hilter im over here" he roared loudly.

"I'm not letting last time repeat itself! We need to go into the trees and ambush them, and go for the kill, you can't trust a Timberjack!" said Shockstorm. I bit him hard then took my fore paw and ran a jaged cut along the side of Shock not deep enough to maim but a warning to what I would do to him if he tried to hurt them. Shock screamed in pain as i ran my claws down his side menacingly "Those are my children your talking about wretch shut your trap!" I said a little to harshly. Shock flinched and was sent into a long silence before he replied unbelieving "You, an ebonystriker, had Timberjack hatchlings? Either way, I won't let that incident happen again, still can't trust a 'jack." I slamed shock in the face with my wing and held a claw at his throat drawing blood and said "Then I will kill you. Simple as that I will behead you and bury you in the darkest hole in Midguard to never be seen again if you hurt them. They are my adopted children dimwit and if you lay a claw on them I will personally hunt you to hell." Shockstorm was breathing heavily in fear he had never seen Azronicle more vicious in his life he believed with all certainty that if he even look at them wrong he would not survive the encounter. He saw the deepest of hatreds in the second he had said his first words and he knew that with that kind of hatred running in Azronicles blood he would be unstopable. He would die. there was no chance of survival if he harmed the timberjacks. I knew I was overreacting but I didn't care at the moment I just wanted to see my dear timberjacks. I shakily got to my feet and walked outside the tent trying to get in sight before falling to the ground in the middle of the clearing. Everyone had come out after my skirmish with shock and watched from a distance afraid to approach me wondering what just happened. Then there they where, they looked a lot bigger since I last saw them and i felt a deep pride at their power as they landed beside me. "Oh im so glad to see you two my Glacie and Hilter you've grown come here" Glacie said excitedly to me "Oh father wait till you hear about where we live and everything thats happened to us since we llast saw you its not the same being without you!" I pured so loud thor prolly could hear me. "DAD your hurt who did this to you ill Bury them in hell for even touching you!" "Hilter don't worry just be glad we are together again come here sweetlings and greet your father properly." Both did just that first Glacie then Hilter walked up to me and we rubbed our noses together then licked each others flank in the traditional greeting. "Glacie dear tell me everything thats happened we have alot to catch up." Both Glacie and Hilter took their wings and placed them over me protectively worried about me. I pured in comfort as they warmed me up with their hearthfires. "We have been living just down the river for years the teritory is rich in prey and no other dragons live around us so we dont have to fight for teritiory, but I wont ever leave you again dad its just not right. even if it will put us in danger theres no way we will lose you again." I crooned in delight knowing I will be with my dearlings again. "Dad Im worried, you do not look well who did this to you i will make sure they don't hurt you ever again" said Hilter fiercely. "Hilter im fine, no We are fine don't go throwing your life away in anger. Just be happy that we are here and safe for now and leave the future be. Anyhow I refuse to put you two in danger again it was that devil Rezeroth." I felt both my children stiffen the second the words came out of my mouth. "That.... devil cant he just leave our family alone." said Glacie sadely. "Dont worry I wont let him hurt you two ever again. Now help me to the tent I need to sleep." Both of them helped pick me up and balenced me on their shoulders as we walked into the tent where Rezeroth was sleeping. I layed down as Glacie burned the gorund around me to help me get warm. " Dad." said Glacie nervously. "Yes sweetheart?" "Im gravid with an egg." I went between several emotions I was stunned, joyous, protective, and in love with the idea i was to become a grandfather. "Thats great Glacie im so happy for you I know the hatchling will be the most beautiful in the the whole of Midguard!" "I love you dad" "so do I" said Hilter. "I love you to dear ones." I said with a purr as a I fell asleep with with my children covering me with their wings protectively.

Kyle sore everything that had just happened and he herd most of what they were saying until they went into the tent, that first he was scared, then shocked, then scared again, then surprised and then happy. When they went into the tent Kyle said "Well you don't see something like that happen everyday" then he turned to Darkender who wasn't him self lately "What's wrong" Kyle said but Darkender only replied with a sigh and drew what looked like two adult night fury's and a night fury hatchling.

Rovertson woke up to a strange sight, there where the two timberjacks that Azronicle seemed to have a connection 2 the last time they met standing guard protectively around him as he slept. "Um hello" i said nervously. "Who are you? I didnt know father knew any other ebonystrikers." said the female timberjack curiously. I deadpanned did I just hear that timberjack call Azronicle father? "ummm did you just call Azronicle father i knew you two had a connection with him but never knew it was like that." "Do we know you, you sound familiar but i know for shure that ive never seen another ebonystriker besides my father and to awnswer your question Azronicle saved us as hatchlings and raised us as his own blood." said the male cautiously as he lay a protective wing over Azronicle allmost as if i was a threat. "Oh well you do know me but in umm.... another form you remember the dark skinned human that traveled with Azronicle well that's me i know hard to believe but somehow ive turned into a dragon." Both of the dragons infront of me gasped in desbelief but then the friendly female one smelled me and whispered something to her companion. "Well as hard as it is to believe smell doesnt lie you do carry the same smell." "so what are your names? I was always curious about you after i saw how sad Az was after you two left." "Im Glacie and this is my brother Hilter who are you?" "Well my names Rovertson and since ive met Azronicle we have been inseparable, hes almost like a father to me i lost my parents a long time ago." Both of the timberjacks shared a glance of humor at me saying this.
-------------------------------------------------------
"Hmm think we should ask father about this strange dragon boy or whatever he is." said Hilter after they left the tent for some peace sure that Azronicle should be safe with young Rovertson. "Yes if im not mistaking i think father might be taking care of him as he did us but its obvious he doesn't know how much he probably means to him" Said glacie in her singsong voice. "True he does have a habit of picking up random strays." laughed Hilter knowing full well how protective of hatchlings his father can be. "Strange to think he might be our brother and we don't even know for shure as for him turning into a dragon its definantly unusual." " true think we should tell him that he might mean more to father then he knows?" "No thats for father to tell when hes ready." said Glacie mulling over the implications of what they heard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm going to interduse myself to them what about you Darkender" said Kyle thinking that they might as well meet the newcomers. it might be nice to meet them Darkender thought as he remembered the timberjacks from yesterday. The pair found the timberjacks just outside the tent and Kyle started the conversation "hi there my names Kyle and this is my pal Darkender" "You can understand us? Whoever heard of a human who could understand our language?" Said Hilter to his sister "True but he seems friendly. Do you know how to take care of dragons? Im gravid and this is my first and im afraid that something might go wrong if you do know anything could you help?" Questioned Glacie nervously not exactly comfortable giving out such an intimate detail. "Really congratulations you must be so happy oh and to answer your question I'm one of the best when it comes to carrying for dragons" Exclaimed Kyle. " Good Father is not feeling well last we saw him he could barely stand can you do anything to help?" pleaded Hilter scared that Azronicle isn't admitting exactly how bad he is hurt because of his stubborn pride. "I'll see what I can do" said Kyle as he walked to the tent to check on Azronicles well being.

After his little 'chat' with Az, Shockstorm was well beyond agitated. He stalked into the woods, static arcing off his body from all angles. Shockstorm didn't care, he needed to get away and clear his thoughts. He had a feeling that if he stayed in the camp, he'd just instigate those 'jacks and Az into a fight that they didn't need. Shockstorm eventually found a nice shady spot on the river's shore. ________________________
Jorgen stood for a moment, he was curious to meet the Timberjacks, who seemed to have a history with Azronicle. On the other hand, Jorgen figured he should go tend to Shock. Jorgen figured Haze was going to be fine and followed Shock into the woods. He found Shock next to the river's bank a short ways down stream from the camp. "Well, someone is in a bad mood." Jorgen said jokingly as he sat next to Shockstorm, "Let me guess, you have a history with Timberjacks." Shockstorm sparked a yes and Jorgen sighed. "You really need to stop picking fights with every dragon type you've had a bad history with, one day you'll meet a dragon as proud as you are and I for one wouldn't want to be around for that fight." Jorgen said as checked his skrill's wounds. The cuts certainly weren't the worst Shock had received, but they were still pretty bad. "Now I have to patch you up like always." Jorgen said to Shockstorm, still joking as he began working on Shock's wounds. After Shock's injuries were taken care of and Shockstorm had calmed down, Jorgen and his skrill walked back to camp. ___________________________
Haze was eager to see those new dragons. Anyone who's presence upsets Shock has to be interesting! Haze flew over to the tent, but he realized it was pretty crowded with everyone inside so he curled up outside the tent to sleep. Haze was still pretty tired from the whole plague-venom-curing-whatever that happened to him, anyway. I'll just meet them when I wake up! Haze though drowsily.

Rovertson walked back into the tent to find both Kyle and Jorgen tending to Azronicle who seemed to be passed out after the tremendous effort it took him to go see his children again. "hmm wonder if hes allright." Instantly both Jorgen and Kyle turned around both with shocked expressions on their face. "What's wrong is soemthing behind me?" I looked around for a threat and saw none. Jorgen recovered first from whatever had shocked them and said "Umm, I think you just spoke, like human language spoke. Kyle please tell me you heard that too, todays not a good day for going insane." "I DID WHAT?" Kyle said "Jorgen your not insane Rovertson did just speek like ahuman" "ok now I can talk like a human hmm I am the strangest person ever" I sighed. Jorgen said "You wouldn't mind if I... studied you, would you. Purely for academic reasons, of course." "Ughh do whatever you want I honestly cant blame you for wanting to study me I would do the same in your position." I layed down and waited for Jorgen to do whatever he wanted to do feeling like a total freak of nature. But secretely happy that I retained the ability to talk.

"All right, just gonna let you know this may hurt, well, a lot. I do have some herbs that make a good anesthetic, but you may get a headache which could last a week. Your call." Jorgen asked as he pulled out his journal, some herbs, and one of his sharper nadder-spike throwing knives. "Oh gods im going to regret this.... " replied Rovertson. "Kyle, you may need to stay, I'd rather not have to tell Az that his human, erm fellow Ebonystriker, died during my tests. Some may be a bit... invasive." Kyle replied "I don't think it will mater if I go or stay but I might stay to watch". "Okay, lets start with the vocal cords." Jorgen said as he began inspecting, and in several cases cutting, Rovertson's new dragon body. After two events of nearly cutting Rovertson's jugular and an hour of examining his throat and neck, Jorgen had all the notes on that part of the body and sealed it back up. "Thanks for your cooperation so far. I would advise going easy on the talking for a couple days, though." Jorgen said before moving over to the wings. "Your lucky i can barely feel you doing anything to me or i would tear you to shreds for the pain." He was curious to see if the wings had developed fully, or if they were innate. Jorgen changed to another knife and began working on the wings. Thankfully for Rovertson, this did not require cutting so much as blunt trauma. "Well, it seems these wings came in well, you just haven't been able to use them because of how sudden the transformation was. Your body is still adjusting, you should get control eventually." Jorgen said as he moved to grab a small sponge and empty inkwell. "I cant even feel my own arms and legs from this anestetic". "Now I'll just collect a sample of your venom and you'll be free to go!" Once the sample was secure, Jorgen packed it carefully into his bag for future study. "Oh, and if Azronicle notices the cuts, make sure he doesn't hunt me down. I've already gone through that once in my life, don't need to do it again." Jorgen said. "Cant promise you that its not like hes under my control" Said rovertson barely managing to speak.

Rovertson grumbled after getting himself cut up by one very curious Jorgen. Honestly did he have to cut my neck apart I thought as I took a deep breath and breathed out a golden mist in front of me and was instantly healed as I walked thru it. This was very tiring as I felt physically drained from the effort of the healing. Walking to Azronicle and his children I woke up Azronicle with a small lick to the face. "huh?" "Az its me Rovertson how are you doing" I said worriedly. "Better then ive felt for many decades my hatching." Az said as he fell back to sleep with me now curled in his paws purring. Did he just call me his hatching I thought as I fell unconscious.

Azronicle woke up with a start feeling the desperate need to eat rip away at my common sense making me shakily get to my feet trying not to wake up my children. I felt lucky to be finally reunited with my sweet-lings I lost so long ago. "Hmm maybe I should avoid shock today I did maul him in my anger he wont be happy but I refuse to feel remorse for what I did." I said to myself. Ever since meeting Rovertson I have slowly gained bad habits like talking to myself darn silly humans! as I exited the tent i found everyone to be sleeping. Hmm seems no one will try and stop me from going to get some quarts today I thought feeling distinctly pleased Jorgen and Kyle wouldn't be up to stop me from overexerting myself in my search. Then I heard a whispering that i knew belonged to one of my most hated species. The whispering death! Dammit with my history I knew he would attack me on the first notice of me so I prepared myself for a fight. Then in my panic I felt a weird instict I never knew was there but it told me to place my tail on the ground and leave it there. Ridiculous thought why would I do that when i was about to be ambushed by a god damn whispering death! Absurd! But it felt so strong the pull to the ground that I couldn't refuse this ridiculous temptation. Placing my tail down and instantly it felt like a whole new world was opened before me. I could see each individual worm beneath me every cave underground river every rock Anything that was part of the ground I could feel thrue my tail as if it was part of me. I gasped out loud. I felt a whole new world underneath me thru my tail. It was truly amazing but i didn't have time to gawk the camp was in danger I roared at the top of my lungs "Whispering death attack!" Then I found what I was looking for I Felt the whispering death moving thru the ground with its usual eaze heading strait toward me. And I knew in my current state if none helped me I had no chance of defeating it unless my blood lust triggered but in my highly exhausted state I wouldn't be able to fire my homing spines for the life of me. I prayed my roar awoke everyone to help me.

3 hours earlier
Rezeroth was angry, so very very angry. Of all the damn Ebonystrikers who had to survive it had to be that damn fool Azronicle. He had killed each and every one of his family friends and clan brutaly infront of his eyes, yet that damn fool had managed to survive him not ounce not twice but 7 times! He needed to wipe out that scum but he was still weakened from another ebonystriker named Azura. That weakling! She had lured him into the ocean and trapped Him in a DAMN ICEBERG! It took 3 full days to free himself from that blasted piece of ice. Rezeroth reveled in how he would repay that dragoness. Ohh the pleasant possibilities! Maybe a few limbs missing maybe skinning her alive. Rezeroth chuckled at the thought feeling suddenly much better at these thoughts. But first he had to pay that blasted male ebonystriker a visit to finally rid him of the thorn in his side. Suddenly a Whispering death appeared nearby but definitely far enough away to avoid being poisoned to death. "What is it you have of me Rezeroth the great." Said the whispering death quaking in fear hoping to flatter the very daemon who would probably be the end of him someday. "Go attack the human encampment north of here bring me Azronicles head or yours will have to suffice" he spat out the word human and Azronical in undisguised hatred. The whispering death trembled knowing full well Rezeroth has never made an empty threat in his life. "GET! Don't just stand there unless you want you head to be my next dinner filthy mongrel!" And with that the whispering death did get and faster then he ever had. Rezeroth chuckled as he felt the deaths fear seep into him empowering him. He decided to go kill some of the filthy human population nearby for strength and maybe some cheap entertainement while he waited for Azronicle to die finally by his hand knowing full well that he was weakened from the last attack he pulled of on the filthy dragon. He hated this one ebonystriker so much more then the others because of one reason. This dragon did not fear him. In all his time Rezeroth had never met a dragon who didn't fear him he never met one who would fight back without fear and it insulted him terribly.

Shockstorm heard the alarm just before he heard the whispers. He jumped up quickly, but soon remembered his fight with Az and winced from the sharp pain. He moved out from the large tent in time to see Az scanning the ground for what had caused the wake up call. "A death! Az get back, you're in no condition to fight!" Shockstorm roared over, "Darkender! Humans! Get up! We're under attack." He moved over towards Az and took up a defensive position nearby. "You know, this would be so much easier to deal with if someone had not attacked me!" Shockstorm sneered over to Az, even if they had a Whispering Death to deal with. ___________________________
Jorgen woke when he heard his skrill make a sound he knew well. Shockstorm's 'warning/imminent danger/get your butt up' roar. He got up quickly and pulled out his two most useful items in situations like these, his shield and ax, and ran outside. He had no intention of fighting whatever dragon was attacking, but he knew he could cause a good distraction with these tools. Once outside, Jorgen heard the distinctive sound that only one dragon could make. A Whispering Death! This is probably the most trouble I've ever had at just a single camp site. I've travelled with Kyle before, so this can only be a result of Rovertson and Azronicle. I'll need to look into that. Jorgen thought to himself as he prepared to face this Death. _____________________________
Haze woke to the sound of Shockstorm roaring and Jorgen grabbing weapons. Under normal circumstances, Haze would've wanted to know what was happening, but exhaustion and the creepy whisper sounds kept him in his snug little sleeping spot. He hoped he didn't miss too much, he'll have to ask some questions later. Haze eventually drifted into a deep sleep.

Darkender woke up because of Shockstorm's roar too and heard the whispers of the whispering death and growled s he ran in frunt of the others knowing that Az and shock weren't in good condition to fight and he hoped that the timberjacks would wake up and help fight
Kyle heard all the noise and woke and thorough what is going on and it wasn't long till Kyle heard the whisper "Great just what we needed a whispering death can this get any better" Kyle said as he pulled out his sword and prepared for battle

Azronicle watched as everyone else came out to fight excluding the weakened members of the party but he refused to leave because he was their one way of finding that death. "Hes right under you Darkender MOVE!" and with that Darkender jumped from where he was standing only moments ago for the death to borrow strait under where he was saving himself. "How do you know? Are you sensing through your tail or your legs? I need to record all of this into my Book on Dragons!" Jorgen said. "Not the time Jorgen!" Then Kyle jumped in stabbing the thick hide between two scales on the deaths side cutting straight threw. "My swords stuck" said kyle worriedly. Darkender recovering from his haze jumped on the death's back before he could go underground and shot the death in the back with his plasma bolt repeatedly knocking the death silly for a few seconds till help could come.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glacie and Hilter rushed out of the tent to find one very pissed Darkender basically ridding the poor deaths back. It was a rather comic sight but this was not the time Glacie jumped at the death slashing its sides repeatedly till the death was majorly scratched up while Hilter kept biting the death till as sudden as it began it was over. The death retreated knowing defeat when he saw it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 hours later.
Azura was trying to get as far from that damn demon as she could. What had shocked her is that egg breaker could never find her till now. I shouldn't be alive, he had me pinned but I managed to trick the traitor in the water and freeze him! Somehow I knew unless I get as far away as possible I would be found and dragged to whatever hellish torture is planned for me. Then just as I was passing part of the river I heard the tell-tell whisper. Before I could react a ring of fire was shot at me singing me horribly against my unprotected body. As I fell I thought to myself why do I have to be the one dragon out there now who isn't immune to fire! I hit hard falling unconscious.

Jorgen watched the Whispering Death disappear back to wherever it came from before he walked over to to Azronicle with his notebook in hand. "Hey Azronicle, would you mind if I test out that sensing thing you did? I just need to know how you did that so I can record it for future reference! There is so little that is known about Ebonystrikers, and I get to travel in the company of one. Rovertson doesn't really count, I could tell he's still part human." After Azronicle nodded his consent, Jorgen called Shockstorm and the now fully awake Haze over to him. "Shock, I need you to stay around the perimeter of the cloud we're gonna make." Shockstorm sparked a confirmation and moved a few feet away as Jorgen turned to young Smokebreath, "Haze, I want you to go a little ways into the Death's tunnel and create a cloud of smoke to envelop all of us. Once we're all completely set I need you to pick a spot to stay at while I conduct my tests." Haze bounced eagerly before flying around creating the smoke cloud. "Azronicle, I'm going to be here with you administer my tests."
After the smoke cloud was complete and when Jorgen figured Haze was in place, he directed Azronicle to lift his tail. When Azronicle gave no indication of being able to sense Haze, Jorgen had him lower his tail again. This time Jorgen could tell that Azronicle could sense Haze's vibrations through the ground. "All right Azronicle, if you can find Haze then I'll consider this test a success." Azronicle immediately loped off into the smoke. A few moments later he returned with Haze riding atop of him. "Hmm, looks like you can sense the vibrations in the ground through your tail! I've never seen any dragon with that kind of ability. To think that I'm the first dragon scholar to accurately record the nature of Ebonystrikers is just... wow. Anyway, Shock! Go ahead and disperse this smoke!" Jorgen called out. Once the smoke was clear, Jorgen immediately pulled out his journal and jotted down notes from this experiment before closing it again. "All right, that's all I needed. We should all get some rest now, while we have the chance. Once everyone is up and good, we should plan our next move. It's not safe to stay here for much longer and we still haven't gotten to Yulkster." Jorgen walked back to his tent with Haze and Shockstorm to get some sleep.
