Roxan appeared on the island and spotted a familiar face. She waved and began walking towards him, filled with joy.

[color=seagreen]"Viscardi,"[/color] she called. [color=seagreen]"I see father has kept his promise."[/color]

"Yes! Much to my surprise. He doesn't usually restore the dead to the living. I assume I have you to thank for this second chance at living? I even still have my blade and armor, truly, I am impressed by your negotiation skills." He eyed Roxan. "Or is he just like every other father and you have him wrapped around your finger?" 

The former warlord's gaze returned to the dragon eggs. "Seriously. Should I be going to get my armor? I don't want to have to rebuild this hovel because an angry mother Dragon and her husband found out you stole their eggs and are coming to get them back."

Roxan grinned. [color=seagreen]"Aye, you do. And if I were given the chance, i would most likely wrap around my finger. Give me credit, Vis," [/color]her eyes were sly. [color=seagreen]"I merely went into negotiations with a very distressed male dragon. I offered his children my protection in exchange for the privelege of raising them."[/color]

She strode forwards and handed him the starburst colored egg. [color=seagreen]"This one would suit you, i can feel it. I'm planning on making both immune to my touch, and, I've heard that they form strong mental bonds with the first person they imprint on."[/color]  Roxan held her egg close to her ear. [color=seagreen]"They should hatch soon, in a couple of hours."[/color]

Viscardi's eyes narrowed in suspicion. "And why would a male dragon be distressed and need you to protect his eggs? They are, quite literally, the most dangerous mortal creatures on this pla-" Viscardi suddenly paused. "Please tell me you didn't steal these from a Champion of a God or a God himself or herself."

He looked at the egg in his hands, then sighed. "Very well. I can't refuse you. A dragon bond would be incredible, I will not lie. But if an angry God lands here demanding that we give them back their dragons, I am going to smack you upside the head, child of the God of Chaos or not." A merry twinkle entered his eye. "Well, go on, mock my feeble attempts at making a house. You know you want to. The mighty warlord of the north can't even make a hovel with all his power."

[color=seagreen]"Very pitiful house, that one,"[/color] she was grinning, michief in her eyes. [color=seagreen]"And no, i didn't steal them, not really."[/color] She bumped his shoulder with hers. [color=seagreen]"Come on, you poor thing, I'll help with the house."[/color] She helped him quickly, and it was noon before she finished with the roof.

"'Not really'? Why am I not reassured?" Viscardi muttered, shaking his head and following.

Then, just as Roxan was about to start on the door, she heard a cracking sound.

[color=seagreen]"They're hatching! Come on, Vis, they have to imprint on us, quickly."[/color] She scrambled down and sprinted to where she had placed the eggs underneath a tree and crouched in front of hers. Already fracture lines were appearing along the marbled shell, and a few fragments had fallen to the ground.

Viscardi follwed the Demi-God, keeping his sword close. He knelt in front of his dragon egg, watching as fracture lines appeared and the egg began to hatch. With a loud crack, a claw popped out of his own shell. "I hope you know what to do, because I don't have the slightest clue."

[color=seagreen]"When his whole body emerges, help him unfold its wings and dry it off,"[/color] Roxan replied. [color=seagreen]"They usually need help with that, because their wings are wet and twice their size. Also, it's what mother dragons do when they hatch."[/color] She hummed as her dragon's head emerged. with a loud crack, the rest of the shell burst open, and the hatching tripped over its wings. [color=seagreen]"Mine is a male,"[/color] she said drying him off with a cloth. [color=seagreen]"You can tell because his egghorn is bigger than yours, who is female."[/color] Roxan cradled the hatchling and looked at Viscardi with excited eyes. 

"Someone did their research." Viscardi noted, helping his own hatchling out of the shell and carefully spreading it's wings, and drying the dragon with the aid of his shirt. He was covered in old battle scars, and the most recent one that had killed him. He couldn't help but smile at the excitement radiating off of Roxan. "What's next?"

Roxan tilted her head, thinking for a moment. [color=seagreen]"You know how to message me with your mind, yes? Like when i warned you when you got into that last fight?"[/color] she looked pointedly at his stomach, then back to his eyes. [color=seagreen]"It's like that, and you have to ask her what name she would like. It establishes respect between both of you." [/color]

"To be fair, that fight was going perfectly well till he ignored all ideas of self preservation." Viscardi said mildly, stretching his mind out to his dragon's. [i]What name would you like, little one? [/i]

[i]Certainly not Little One.[/i] The tiny beast retorted, drawing a chuckle from the former warlord. The hatchling tilted her head, considering for a moment. [i]May I search your memories for a suitable name?[/i] She asked, staring up at Viscardi. [i]You may.[/i] The dragon searched through Viscardi's mind selecting a name from his long memory. [i]This will do.[/i] She said with a finality. The warlord chuckled again, smiling. "I certainly hope that we have a better relationship than the last Ryva." 

Roxan smiled. [color=seagreen]"Indeed,"[/color] she chuckled stretching her own mind out to the small male who was settled comfortably in her arms. [color=seagreen][i]And what of you, lad? What name would you ask of?[/i][/color] She spoke gently. [color=a0410d][i]I would ask that you call me Raktavira.[/i][/color] Roxan grinned. [color=seagreen]"Raktavira,"[/color] she mused. [color=seagreen]"Excellent."[/color] Then she paused and turned to Viscardi. [color=seagreen]"Vis, do you think you could help me with a spell that allow my touch to be ineffective on Raktavira and Ryva?"[/color]

"Of course." Viscardi replied, holding Ryva as she insistently nudged his hands and arms to make him do so. "What do you need me to do? I'm afraid I have little experience using magic beyond Vistoc and Wi."

[color=seagreen]"What I need is for you to help me find somewhere calm on the island. Like a little clearing."[/color] she said, standing up. [color=seagreen]"But we can do that after we get Raktavira and Ryva fed."[/color] She went and got them some meat, then went to look for a clearing with Viscardi. She sat in the middle of the clearing and had Ryva and Raktavira sit in front of her. She pulled off her gloves and laid a hand on each dragon's nose, closing her eyes and searching for the right magic. Reaching deep within herself, she pulled on the core of magic that enabled her toxin use, stretching it towards the dragons. The magic flowed into their systems, sinking into their blood, becoming a part of them. At last, she removed her hands, disconnecting.

She opened her eyes and waited. The toxin killed the victim immediately, but Ryva and Raktavira remain sitting. She sighed in relief and stood. [color=seagreen][i]Come, Raktavira, Ryva, we have work to do if we are to win Garakai back from Ialu.[/i][/color] To Viscardi she said, [color=seagreen]"We need to win Garakai. Once we get back to the hut, I need you to help me."[/color] Viscardi nodded, his eyes lighting up at the thought of winning back his home. Within a few days, Raktavira was half grown, and big enough for Roxan to ride him. She fashioned a saddle from the leather of the deer he had killed, and adjusted the straps. Turning to Viscardi, she smiled. 

[color=seagreen]"I'm going to recruit some riders. I've found a nest of abandoned eggs at the foot of the waterfall, but they're still alive." Then she mounted and Dragon and Rider flew off.[/color][/center]
