Askin was extremely unhappy with her host who extremely resembled Azronicals stubborn as all hel will and nearly unbreakable but she slowly filled in seeds of anger into this 'Shockstorm' dragon trying to get ahold of its mind. Exploring this although frustratingly stubborn dragon but extremely interesting one she found a chink in the armour and a very big surprise. a: Azronical was traveling with him and b: Shockstorm did not like him at all at the moment and she filed this away thinking it might be useful later. dropping her defenses against the probing mind of the dragon she decided to have a chat with Shock. "Hey how did I end up in your body you creepy dragon. "You're calling me creepy! You're just a strange voice that is hitching a ride!" Shock thought angrily. "I am not creepy! Just because you can't see me doesn't mean I'm weird." I let out a mental huff unhappy that this dragon thought of me as a pest I thought I was helping this dragon. "How does your being an evil invisible voice not make you creepy". "I'm not evil I'm just different and since I'm stuck inside of you with no way out can we at least mutually get along till I can find my way out?" "An Ebonystriker friend of mine advised against working with you and that you may even attack, and I trust him quite a bit more than some creepy evil voice.". "Azronical is the most complete fool I have ever had to deal with ignore him hes a complete idiot and you're better off without him and I'm not here to attack you either!" "Now how do you know Az?". "If you want to know how I know Azronical ask him yourself I'm busy making myself comfortable." I was extremely frustrated by now because this Shockstorm Character completely refused to leave me alone at all. "Can't believe I have a stowaway voice hiding out in my mind! No self respecting Skrill would let this happen! This is what I get for travelling with Az. Now how about you explain yourself to me for a change!". "Deal with it I'm just as stuck with you as you are with me sorry to insult your all powerful pride but I'm not happy here either now leave me alone." I pulled up a mental block so Shockstorm would leave me alone for a short while and felt it continuously assaulted by the stubborn dragon.

Rovertson came over to Kyle and Darkender to see if everything was all right "Hey everything allright Kyle?" Rovertson said just then Darkender shrieked in terror and tryed to get away "No ofence Rovertson but what did you do to Darkender to make him act this way to you" Kyle said worried about Darkender "Honestly nothing at all I really haven't had time to even think about Darkender with everything going on." Rovertson said also confused about Darkender's behavior "Well we'd find out what up with you later Darkender because we have to go now." When Kyle got onto Darkender he shot off into the sky. "What is going on?" Jorgen asked Kyle ""I HAVE NO IDEA!" Kyle shouted as Darkender went higher and higher into the sky, eventually Darkender stopped flying up and started hovering, Kyle was holding on for dear life "Is it OK to open my eyes now?" He said hoping that it was was OK to open them. Kyle slowly opened his eyes and looked down to see how high they were, they were above the clowds which scared him he wasn't usually scared of heights but at this particuler moment he was "Darkender two things one why are we up here and two why are you so weird around Rovertson all of a sudden you were fine before he turned into a dra..." just then Kyle answered his own question now all he wanted to know was why Darkender didn't like it when Rovertson turned into a dragon "it will be OK Darkender I won't let anything happened to you and you don't need to be scared of Rovertson he's a friend and he wouldn't do anything to you unless I aloud him to, so let's go back to the others."Kyle said carefully stroking Darkender's head and also trying not to fall off.

Jorgen was initially as surprised as everyone else was at Darkender's strange behavior. That didn't last as it dawned on him that this was in reaction to Rovertson. He had seen the slight change in how Dark reacts to Rovertson, Jorgen was just surprised by the magnitude of this outburst. "Well I guess that means we're leaving now." Jorgen said. "Maybe as we fly, Shock and I will fly the middle and you should stay on the opposite side as Kyle, Darkender. Just as a precaution." Jorgen said to Rovertson as he took off on Shockstorm, with Haze riding on Jorgen's back. "Im fine with that I realy do not want to upset him either." replied Rovertson. "Good, I don't want to agitate Darkender too much. I don't like the idea of cleaning up little bits of Kyle from the forest floor very much." Jorgen said as he and Shock launched up into the air, followed by Azronicle, Rovertson, and the Timberjacks. "You okay Kyle?" Jorgen asked. 'A little shaken but I'll be fine thank." replied Kyle. "Well, off to Yulkster then! We should be good so long as they aren't still mad about the time I burnt down half the village!" Jorgen said as they began flying onward. _________________________________________________
Shockstorm watched Darkender bolt up into the sky with surprise. What is that Night Fury up to now!? If this has something to do with how he's been around Rovertson then I hope he has a good explanation! "Ohh quiet we all know you are all smoke and no fire." said a creepy voice in his head, Askin. "Oh, just be quiet." Shockstorm said aloud. "Ouch mean little sprite isnt she even tough I find it quite funny how your stuck with her." said Azronicle. Shock looked a lil fazed at the fact that Azronicle seemed to be able to hear Askin alsobut this did not last long. "You can shut up too." grumbled Shockstorm. "What are you 2 arguing about now?!" asked Rovertson, looking between the two. "Oh, nothing." Shockstorm lied. "Ohh nothing here 2 just teasing Shock as usual." said Az. Rovertson rolled his eyes at his dragons antics. Shockstorm was glad once they began moving. Finally they were leaving this stale clearing and moving on! Shockstorm thought.

Azronicle noticed they where mearing the area where yulkster was when an very familier voice started to annoy him. "Hey where have you been Azronicle haven't got to talk to you in forever you insufferable dragon." Silently and privately Azronicle replied so Shock could not hear. "Shut your trap im not in the mood for your games I dealt with you for 4 full years and still can't rid of the feeling im being constantly watched!" "Glad I make such an impression you are fun to mess with." I just got tired of the useless banter between me and my old pest so I locked myself in a mental barrier and thats when we flew down hidden behind a mountain right near Yulkster to discuss our plans.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We need to split up if all of us are in one place we can be taken out all at once. Me and Haze will stay back whilst Azronical leads the rest of you to the place where the item we need is stored. sleep up tommorow at dawn we will do this."

Kyle landed a little away from the group for their safety luckily he could still here them so he heard the plan that was being planned he opened his bag and sore that he only had one fish, both him and Darkender were looking at the last fish and both of them wanted it luckily Kyle didn't mind being hungry until he got more. Kyle grabbed the fish and gave it to Darkender who was now carm and happy before falling asleep next to Darkender
Darkender slowly ate the fish trying to enjoy every bit of it considering Kyle chooses to starve himself so he didn't have to,he looked down at the human sleeping next to him and thorough The things this human does for us dragons, why. He shellered Kyle with his tail and lower his head but did not sleep instead he watched the world making shore that nothing would hurt this very caring human.

Jorgen and Shock landed on a large, misshapen rock that was surrounded by bits of wood; a little ways away from everyone else, but still close enough that he heard the plan. "How ironic that we're going to camp right where that psychotic Gronckle used to sleep!" Jorgen said to Shock as he started setting up his tent on the rock. "That was a fun trip, until we burned down that one stall and got chased by angry villagers. What were they selling at that stall?" Shock shrugged in response. "Oh! Now I remember, that stall belonged to that one guy! The one selling cabbages! I think we ended up burning his cabbage fields a few months later." Jorgen undid the straps that held his travel gear onto Shockstorm and pulled over the basket filled with fish. At the smell of the fish, Haze flew over and looked at Jorgen hungrily. "Don't worry Haze, I've got just the thing!" Jorgen said before giving Haze an Atlantic cod. "There you go, and for Shockstorm we've got four more cod!" Jorgen said as he tossed the fish over to Shock, who caught the fish in his mouth. Jorgen put away the salted fish and pulled out another basket. "And for my dinner I've got..., bread, cheese, a bit of salted pork that I import from the mainland, and a few clams." Jorgen said to himself as he put together a pile of firewood and pulled out the food. Jorgen began cooking after Haze set the pile of wood on fire. Jorgen began cooking the clams as he snacked on the tough bread.

Azronical roared to get every up and about and watched as everyone started to gather their items for the upcoming visit into town. Everyone formed a protective circle around each other as all of the people in the streets gasped and ran into their houses with the click of locks. "Seems we are not mistaking when we thought we would be alone....." I said wishing Rovertson was still here. "We should hurry. These people aren't a very friendly lot towards dragons and dragon riders." Jorgen said. I knew he was correct and we needed to hurry fast and get out but suddenly I heard a whistle go through the air and saw arrows flying downwards towards us. Breathing a shield I managed to protect everyone from everything but minor scrapes from the arrowheads. "MOVE!" We ran down an ally way to my left and I stayed back holding the entrance till the dragons with the weak skinned humans where out of range. Opening my mouth I returned fire taking out nearly 12 men with my hard homing spiked and wounding a few other until I ran out of spikes. I heard scuffling I looked up on the roof above me just in time to see a net weighed down by rocks fall on me one of the rocks hitting my head leaving me unconscious but not before I heard another dragon roar and a house nearby me explode with lightning obviously Askin's doing and saw Shockstorm get tied up in a familiar device to the one holding me down.
few hours later.....
I awoke Next to Shock, Jorgen, Kyle, and Darkender beside me and Glacie and Hilter trying to free themselves from their bonds. I heard a slash and saw the ropes covering Glacie's wings fall down to her side. "They didn't Expect timberjacks to have such sharp wings Father." Glacie then began to cut everyone's bonds. Kyle said "Well that didn't go as planed" "Tell me about it they got us by surprise I want to kill them now for leaving me in such a demeaning position." Said Hilter in exasperation. Looking around I noticed that we where in some kind of arena with no way out from the inside. "What do you suggest Jorgen?" "I think the only thing we really can do is wait and hope for rescue. Shock and I have been trapped in here before and it's really well built, as far as I know there is no way out without outside help.". "I agree I just hope those two can help us if not looks like we will be fighting our way out." Said Glacie.
Few hours before then........
Rovertson watched Haze to keep him distracted as he worried about Azronicle and the others. will they be ok are they in danger do they need my help? These questions flew by in his mind as he watched Haze pacing probably thinking similar thoughts about the party. Suddenly Haze bolted upright and the gem attached to his neck glowed ever so little brighter. "Whats wrong Haze?" "The others are in danger!". "How do you know?" "I'm not sure, it's just a feeling that Az and the others need our help.". "What do you mean you have no clue how you know they are in some kind of danger!" Getting up I decided to trust blind faith and told Haze to help me find the rest of the party. Sneaking into town was not easy. First off there where so much militia patrolling the streets that we had to hide in dark alleyways and pray we where not found hearing a loud roar followed by another in the distance I felt Haze stiffen on my back suddenly and whisper ever so quietly. "That's them! It has to be!". I hurried my pace Haze leading me through the alleys finally reaching a Rock dome with a large entrance locked from the outside. The gem on Hazes neck glowed brighter still lighting the way to the door and taking my claws I pulled the large metal beam and pushed it open.
............................................
"Someone is coming! Get ready." said Shock hearing the door start to open. We all gathered on both sides of the door ready to ambush whoever came through. placing my tail down on the ground I could tell something large was standing on the ground on the other side and when it opened I rushed out pulling my front leg forward sticking my spike directly on whatever was their throat. "Umm Az can you please place that thing down." Chuckling when I recognized the voice I stuck the rest of my body around the corner with Everyone else following me through. "Yous made it" Exclaimed Kyle. "We barely made it through some close calls." "I was so worried!" Haze said. "Why did you bring Haze Rovertson you know how dangerous this is!" I scolded him for his idiot behavior. "I'll explain later we need to move if we are going to reach the house." Slowly creeping through the alleyways we eventually made it to the safehouse Rovertson had constructed long ago. "I'll be right back I'm going to get what we need" I said walking in.
.................................
Rovertson saw a large line of militia men appear from the streets. An idea suddenly hit me that seemed brilliant in my mind. "Haze make so much smoke nothing can see us at all not even ourselves." "But then how will we fight?" said Haze confused. "Are you sure? We won't be able to fight as well and we might even hurt eachother. Plus it'll make escaping even more difficult!" Jorgen said now extremely confused on why I would want to blind us completely. "We don't have time to argue just do it!" Haze started spewing smoke as fast as he could soon Everyone nearby was blind as a worm. Many of the soldiers now coming after us muttered fearfully swinging blindly at the smoke. Suddenly I felt just what I needed kick in and my tail heated up to almost being uncomfortable. I saw every soldier nearby as a white hot glow and sprung into action. Opening my mouth I shot into the ranks Knocking down men left and right holding their chests and heads in agony. Running as fast as I could I entered the sea of white in a complete bloodlust from the chemicals flowing threw the air from my spikes barely noticing a thing as I moved at a blinding speed slashing strait threw the Armour of the blind men with my claws and throwing them around like rag dolls and hearing sickening squelches as I felt bone break beneath my weight. Suddenly my side spiked in agony as I felt a spear thrust into my shoulder blade but the bloodlust completely disintegrated the any pain and I took the man in my claws and threw him into a group of soldiers knocking them all down. The numbers I killed blurred into uncertainty as 10es became 20es and 20es became 100eds but nobody could hurt me nothing could see me I Was Invincible. Still more soldiers pored into the area and I knew all it took was 1 lucky hit and I would fall suddenly almost not of my own will my grapnel spikes shot and Light leaked from them entangling all the men in its hungry grasp and I heard men scream being burnt alive by the white hot heat of the light. A few seconds the bloodlust wore out and I collapsed in exhaustion but not before seeing the smoke clear out and hundreds of bodies strewn everywhere bleeding form gaping wounds and I felt afraid of my own power.
..............
As the dust cleared Azronical having just left the house saw a sight that sent his heart dropping. Rovertson was lying unconscious on the street covered in blood so thickly he was nearly pure red from the substance and a spear sticking directly threw his Shoulder shaft broken from the fight. Everyone just stared silently in complete shock hardly daring to breath at the spectacle when I ran to help Rovertson rushing to his side and feeling for wounds. It as then I realized the true source of all the blood. miraculously He had not 1 injury but the spear in the shoulder and nearly every drop of it was from the people littered on the ground like slaughtered sheep. That term fit the situation perfectly the people had no chance not being able to see anything but death incarnated it seemed flowing around them picking them off one by one unkillable and unseeable. "Help me lift him you idiots we need to get out of here!" "Dear mother of Thor! I've never seen so much death and carnage all in one place before, at least not since the destruction of my tribe. Whatever power that was, it sure is dangerous and terrifying." Jorgen said completely numbed by the sheer destruction and all of the dragons without a word helped pick up Rovertson fleeing from the city that ran thick with blood on its street like a river.

Since no one talked on the way back to where they had set up camp, Jorgen had plenty of time to think of the day's events. Getting into Yulkster had been easy, they just walked right in. But even Jorgen hadn't anticipated how prepared the local militia had been to deal with them. First they had gotten Azronicle, then they had cornered the rest of them. At that point some sort of compulsion had overcome Shock and the Skrill had released a blast of energy that launched everyone away, and as far as Jorgen could tell they were all knocked unconscious from the blast as well. The next thin Jorgen knew, he had found himself and the others tied up in the local kill ring! He hadn't mentioned this to the others, but the reason he knew that that place was nearly inescapable was because he had helped design and build it.
On Jorgen's first visit to Yulkster, the town had been near destruction due to dragon raids. He decided to help the town and build this arena and repel the dragons. To make sure it was inescapable, Jorgen had designed it so neither himself nor any dragon could escape. Once it had finished, Jorgen had gotten in an argument about how the dragons should be treated. From then on he had had bad relations with the town of Yulkster. Jorgen looked over at the limp body of Rovertson, being carried by Azronicle, Shock, and the 'Jacks. He was grateful and all that Rovertson had gotten them all out of Yulkster safely, but Jorgen was curious into what inspired him to go and slaughter three fourths of the whole town's population! Jorgen also wondered why Rovertson had brought Haze when he came to rescue them. Why was Haze's presence so vital to the rescue? He also wanted to know what was worth risking all of their lives to get. What was it that was so important that Rovertson absolutely needed to retrieve it from his safehouse in Yulkster!? What could be so important about this item!? Jorgen looked over at Rovertson's limp body again, and hoped that the energy he used up during his killing frenzy hadn't been too much. Somehow Jorgen doubted that electro-shock therapy was an option this time. __________________________________________________
Shockstorm trudged along silently under the shared weight of the unconscious Rovertson, trying not to lacerate his body with his spikes. All the Skrill wantedto do was curl up and sleep, that's how exhausted he was. And based on the silence from within, Shockstorm had a feeling he wasn't the only one who had all his energy drained when he had released that explosion. Shockstorm had not expected the fight to go the way it did. When those annoying humans caught Az, it had been up to Shockstorm to protect the group, but they were forced into a dead-end trap. With their backs against the wall, he had gotten a crazy idea, the idea to release a blast of death-static at those little warrior humans.
Shockstorm was fairly certain it was the moment when a human archer drew an arrow aimed at Jorgen's chest that pushed him over his toleration point. At that moment, he and the Askin voice whatever's thoughts had agreed and almost fallen into unison, allowing a massive discharge of energy that knocked Shockstorm, and apparently all the others, out cold. Shockstorm was amazed that this little voice in his head had brought with it such a volatile source of energy. No wonder Rezeroth is so hard to beat! Shockstorm glanced over at Haze and saw that the little guy was trotting along by Jorgen, mindfully remaining silent and calm as they returned to the camp. He was glad that little Haze had the courtesy not to brake the silence, right now they just needed rest and for Rovertson to recover.

As no one in the group that went into the town was talking Kyle took the time to admire the town and its architecture, it seemed like a peaceful place until the local militia launched an attack on them, Kyle pulled out his sword and stared taking out some of the soldiers he was doing well until Azronicle got taken down, then the soldiers had them cornered, Kyle was going to run at them swinging his sword so the others could escape but Shockstorm had another idea and he let out a powerful blast which sent Kyle and the others flying and knocking them unconscious and the next thing he knew him and the others were in some sort of arena.
Kyle was worried about Rovertson as the others carried him back to camp whilst Kyle stayed back with Darkender, after seeing what he did to the soldiers two think came to Kyle's mind, one what has gotten into Rovertson he's never behaved like that before and two Darkender is going to be even more afraid of Rovertson now. Looking down at Rovertson Kyle hoped that he'll be OK.
Terror that all what was going through Darkender's mind after seeing the results of Rovertson's slaughter fest, he was going to fly away in terror but he notice the spear in Rovertson's shoulder and felt sorry for him and some for the terror that Darkender had went away but not enough as he walked behind the others as they carried Rovertson back to camp.

Azronical felt depressed at the newest problem. They had long since returned to camp and had set up a tent for Azronical to be beside Rovertson to guard him. I had not let anyone near him not even Kyle or Jorgen to help heal him because I knew it was not needed and my protectiveness would not allow me to do so. Glacie and Hilter walked in and silently sat beside me calmly placing their wings o my back to comfort me knowing silence is what I needed. Taking the leftover part of the spear shaft in my mouth I gently tugged pulling it free of Rovertson and threw it aside. Gently I licked the wound till it stopped bleeding. Glacie and Hilter on their own helped me clean the dried blood off of Rovertson making me feel all the more gratefull for their silent companionship during my time of stress. Slowely the grime of war was washed off my poor Rovertson leaving him clean enough to travel because I knew the 1 place I could help him recover. "Here I come.... Home" I quietly whispered. Glacie started to warm Rovertsons limp form up with her hearthfire tenderly avoiding overheating the sleeping dragon. I started to form rock into a shape and finaly when I finished it was a stretcher made of rock so Rovertson could be flown comfortably to Asralie without further injury.
....... Next morning
Everyone was unusually silent in the time since the battle mused Glacie. She was worried for her father's mental state but decided better on his feelings. Dutifully helping carry the stretcher while flying they flew for multiple hours in complete silence to words a destination only her father knew where they where heading.
....... Arriving
"Everyone stick close to me or you will get lost this place is protected." I walked forward threw a gauntlet rock lined up designed to confuse and mislead Travelers finally making it to a dead end. Walking to the rock wall I placed a claw on a slight indentation in it causing it to slide open revealing the lost city of Asralie. Rivers flowed all threw-out the landscape reflecting the light in a rainbow of colors and multitudes of houses long since destroyed layed amidst the layers of dust on the ground. A single tear slid from my eye distressed at the state of my homeland but I had to be strong for Rovertson. Leading the group to the old water shoot admist the large sea beside the Rubble of the once glorious city I called home I dived in ordering the others to follow. Very soon we reached my old home somehow intact under the water. Everyone piled in shivering from the cold water but to tired to complain. I removed of the rock covering Rovertson in a dome to allow him to breath and slid beside him resting to dreary to explore the remains of my homeland till tomorrow.

As they all filed on into the underwater structure, Jorgen's thoughts randomly went over how unfortunate it would have been if Shock's new static had discharged while they were in the water. After all, a discharge of his normal static had been enough to nearly kill a Bonenapper that had been in the water! Jorgen tried to keep his thoughts from focusing on the city they were in, he knew he wouldn't be able to contain his curiosity and would have to learn more; breaking the group's almost mournful silence as they wait to make sure Rovertson is okay from his little slaughter-fest. Oh no, he thought, I've already gotten onto that topic! Jorgen realized it was too late to redirect his thoughts and his mind filled with his observations of the ruined architecture. All of this, made by DRAGONS! he thought excitedly as he pulled out his notebook and began sketching what the city looked like now and what he thought it might of looked like back when it was in good condition. He went on like that until he finally began to succumb to his drowsiness and curled up next to Shockstorm. ________________________________________________
Once they were all inside the structure, Shockstorm picked out a corner that was separate from the others and curled up in it. It didn't take long for Haze to come over and curl up under his wing, and Shockstorm let the Smokebreath doze off under the protection of his wing. When they first arrived, he didn't know why they were here. He had flown over this area many times searching for an old Ebonystriker city. When Shockstorm saw Azronicle open that stone gate sort of thing, he knew this had to be the same city from the stories he heard when he was younger from a certain Ebonystriker. Shockstorm had been prepared for the amazing and beautiful city that the old Ebonystriker Vidoron had told him and his sisters about, almost a century ago. What he saw instead was very disheartening, though the rubble of the once-great city were still a remarkable sight, and led one to imagine what the place must have looked like before it's downfall. Now he was just content to rest and hope that they all can have time to recover. He could tell that Askin felt similarly on the matter and Shockstorm soon began to doze. He barely even noticed when Jorgen came over and curled up next to him to sleep.

Kyle shook off the water when he got in to the structure, looked around and started thinking where the hell are we? he had just finest shaking off the water when Darkender came out of the water and drenched Kyle by accident. Kyle gave Darkender an evil look as he walked to the corner opasit Shockstorm not knowing what he had done Kyle didn't bother shaking himself of again incase he got drenched again instdead he just walked over to Darkender who sore that he was driping wet, rolled onto his side and let Kyle sleep next to his warm body then warp his wings around for exstra warmth.

Azronicle awoke suddenly. I pulled my wings off of Rovertson and stretched my legs and wings trying to get some feeling back into them looking around noticing everyone asleep still. roaring to wake everyone up I watched as they groggily did as they where told. "We need to get underground it isn't safe up here down there there is a few things that will help me heal Rovertson and weapons that are dearly needed if we are going to fight Rezeroth also supplies and shelter whilst I heal Rovertson he is in no normal sleep only my ancestors know the cure for this." "Umm, aren't they pretty much all dead? How are you going to get that information if they aren't alive to tell you?" Jorgen asked. "I know but they left records that will help maybe even take out Rezeroth and I know the cure is there 2." helping lift Rovertson I covered him in stone and we rose to the surface again. Slowly we made our way across the ruined city to one of the undamaged shafts heading downwards. We reached the shaft and slowly made our way down careful not to trip of fall down the steep slope finally hitting the bottom to see a site that made me feel all the better. It seemed that Rezeroth was unable to destroy the sub-level under the earth leaving masses of houses intact and in pristine condition. "This place is AMAZING! The architecture here is unlike that of any human civilization I've seen! My assumption that this place was built by dragons must be correct!" Exclaimed Jorgen. I continued down leaving Jorgen to comb through the houses obviously enjoying looking at the variety passing by a house made of Rubies and emeralds I felt my hunger return after days of being dormant and decided to look for the storehouse leaving the others to explore. Picking my choice of gems I returned to the group currently gawking at a house made from the memories of an ebonystriker. "Follow we need to hurry." Finally finding what I was looking for I led the others to a stone door that was sealed shut into a giant building. pulling out the object we retrieved from Yulkster I fit it in the hole on the door and turned making it slowly creak open. "What so the thing we got from Yulkster was a key" Said Kyle "Yes it is a key." Walking into the dark cavern I positioned the key into another slot and suddenly the walls came to life with images that separated from them telling the history of my race. "Wow. Now that has got to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen!" Jorgen commented "Its the history of my race all of our past put together in a library of sorts." Walking to a set of images I placed my claw onto them setting off a reaction showing the last battle between Rezeroth and the ebonystrikers of Asralie crying all the while I watched the slaughter of my race but I felt it to be my responsibility to remember all the info on the walls so one day I could pass it down so it was not lost. After a few hours of scouring threw the library I left the others in there to study it walking to the armory and using the key ounce again to open it. finding a few jewel inlaid swords that where scavenged from back before the protective barrier was set and humans attacked our kind viciously I pulled them out and set them aside thinking Jorgen and Kyle might want to look at them. My eyes finally rested on the case I was looking for. Slowly I pulled open the lid revealing a set of artificial claws inlaid with precious gems and started dragging the swords and claws back to the library entering silently watching the others study the walls.

Kyle was stunned when he sore the houses when the reached the botom of the stairs he walked up to one and looked inside "Wow I wouldn't mind living in a house like this how about you Darkender?" Kyle said looking at the equally amazed Darkender, they walked out of and saw Jorgen, Shockstorm and Haze looking at a weird looking house and desired to take a look themselves, after a minute Azronicle told them to follow him.
After Azronicle showed them the library Kyle wanted to walk around the library by himself. He was walking around until he sore a image that court his eye. He walked up to it and placed his hand on it and it showed him 4 hatch lings happily playing with each other. Kyle couldn't help but feel that he knew one of them but he just tried not to think about it.
As Kyle was studying Darkender decided to walk around by himself trying to clear his mind, he had started to think that Kyle liked Azronicle more than him how can I make myself more like Azronicle so Kyle would like me again Darkender thorough. When Darkender turned a corner he sore Azronicle dragging two swords and some sweet looking claws I need to get my claws on these claws he thorough as he walked over to Azronicle "Hello just setting up some supplies." Azronicle said seeing Darkender coming over. Darkender stopped in front of Azronicle then pointed to himself and then to the claws "You want to use these? You better promise not to lose them they mean a lot to me" Azronicle said , Darkender smiled and nodded "Okay but don't lose them or I will not forgive it. Ill tell you some about them later." Azronicle said. Darkender gave Azronicle a friendly pat on the back before grabbing the claws and trying them on.

Jorgen was immensely curious about these images that were apparently the history of the Ebonystrikers. He was amazed by the level of power that this place still held, but mostly he was too busy writing down as much as he could to bother with other thoughts. He was vaguely aware of Azronicle pulling weapons out of another area and Darkender walking around the place, as well as Haze trying to see everything and Shockstorm doing, well Jorgen wasn't really sure what Shock was up to, but he was too busy to care. He was watching image after image go by as he tried to record it all. Then one image in particular caught his eye. In this image, he saw four young dragon hatchlings, three of them were Ebonystrikers, but the other one... "Dear mother of a diaper-wearing Thor!" Jorgen muttered to himself. "It can't be, that's a Frozenferno!" he said aloud, unable to keep it to himself. If I'm reading when this memory is from correctly, Jorgen thought, then this memory is from only about 300 years ago! Which means somehow a Frozenferno survived my ancestors! Maybe... no, that's a stupid idea. I should focus on writing these down for now, no need worrying over crazy ideas. Jorgen continued copying the records, but kept in mind that he should ask Azronicle about that Frozenferno, see if he knows anything about that. He also wanted to ask about one of the hatchling from the same memory, one that looked startlingly similar to Azronicle. A little while later, another memory caught Jorgen's attention. The memory itself was hardly remarkable, but what he caught a glimpse of in it did. The gems that two Ebonystrikers were wearing, they looked very similar to the ones being worn now by Azronicle and Haze. He searched through he memories and eventually found one that explained what they were, and had Shockstorm translate for him since the Skrill had just come over from another set of memories. Apparently those gems allowed a sort of connection between those who wore them. They also had the power to transfer energy and even powers between wearers! Jorgen quickly jotted down the little touch of information before continuing to comb through the memories. ___________________________________________
Shockstorm was fighting back a wave of emotions, most of them bad, as he looked at the memories of a certain Ebonystriker. He was watching the memories of Vidoron, the Ebonystriker that Shockstorm, his father, and his sisters met when he was young. Vidoron had entertained them with stories of the great city of Asralie, the same city Shockstorm knew he must now be in, and helped the family of Skrills get over their recent losses. Now Shockstorm was watching those memories through Vidoron's eyes, and Shockstorm could barely contain his sorrow at the sight of his two little sisters again. He watched the entire time his family spent with the Ebonystriker go by, until Vidoron left them. What came up next surprised him. The images just showed Vidoron flying out over the sea, but his thoughts were what surprised Shockstorm. "I have come to the realization that I cannot run from Rezeroth forever. He is just too powerful. When that one little male skrill asked me why I didn't just hide, I had given him the same response that I gave little Spitfire when he had asked a similar question when we separated. I simply joked that it wasn't that simple. But I have found that it really can be that simple! I now realize that my only salvation is to go where even Rezeroth cannot, I will go to the deepest place in the oceans, encompass myself in ice so the pressure doesn't kill me, and enter a hibernation-like state. I will maintain enough consciousness to know when the Plaguedragon is finally gone, when the world is safe from his menace. To any Ebonystrikers who may yet live, know that even the killer of our race has limits, and I hope for the day he ends." Shockstorm was hit by a wave of emotions that he could barely handle. He thought he might even break down, but then he was saved by Askin. He felt the voice getting ready to speak, likely some form of mockery, and the thought of being mocked by static filled Shockstorm with enough anger to snap out of his emotional ditch and suppress Askin. After that he decided to try and comb through Vidoron's earlier memories, to try and see if he could find this 'Spitfire'. What Shockstorm found instead was quite a surprise. He saw a young Ebonystriker, little more than a hatchling, talking with Vidoron. Shockstorm felt that this hatchling was strangely familiar for some reason. He looked over at Az as he was dragging out some weapons and realized why the hatchling was familiar. That was a young Az! The conversation seemed to be about Az nearly getting Spitfire hurt, but Shockstorm wasn't paying attention anymore. Somehow seeing Az as a little hatchling made it harder to resent him, even if he had given Shockstorm some bad scratches and a new scar. After that revelation, he walked over to Jorgen to see how his human's obsessive work was going.
