Sorry to keep underestimating my workload! I'll put something up this weekend or Monday, I promise.

I'll have something up most likely Tuesday or Wednesday as well.
Made a post, was busy with a video project I slacked off on.
I should be responding quicker in the coming week or so.
Ocotl gazed in wonder at the dragons fighting up ahead, hardly noticing the fallen tree close by them.
"He isn't taking good care of his guest," Mirazan muttered, picking up the cat with a tentacle made out of light. He glanced over to her small form, blinking slowly.
"What do you two eat? Fruits? fish? Light soil and water?" she asked, leading them to a secluded waterfall with a small lake. Fires and flares from dragons fighting or having fun lit up the night sky near them, creating a sort of twilight closer to the center of the village. Fireflies danced around the deep blue water in the dusky light, blinking sluggishly. The din of cicadas and the occasional animal cries filled the air around the village. A cool breeze was blowing through the trees, the leaves rustling peacefully.
"I am originally a forest spirit, and we draw upon the forces of nature to power us," Ocotl explained, turning back to Mirazan, who was looking at him suspiciously, holding the cat in her arms. The same ethereal light radiated off of her still. "However, being constrained to this form, I have been given human thought, but human limitations."
"There are some things I can do," he said, raising his hand and bringing up a swath of knotty branches from the ground near them. He clenched his fist and the branches wilted and crumbled, descending back into the ground.
"But a forest spirit embodies nature itself. My power is but a fraction of what it was, but even if I were to regain it, I would harbor no ill will towards human nor dragon."
"Do you resent your... master's acts towards you?" Mirazan asked, blue eyes twinkling. "He did capture you after all."
"No, not at all. He was incredibly kind to me while he was alive, but I wish to know more about him," Ocotl explained, sighing. "He seldom told us anything."
Mirazan hummed slightly, looking at Ocotl out of the corner of her eye. "Like we said before, we do not remember any such dragon around these parts. You may have to take your search elsewhere, but we will not let you leave if you pose a threat to dragon-kind."
He turned towards her, joints creaking. "What can I do to convince you of my loyalty? I trust you because of your kindness so far, but it seems we do not share that mentality."
Ocotl looked at the cat in the dragon's arms. "It would do both of us good if you explained yourself soon." He looked around the dusky waterfall.
"Nobody is around either, now is as good of a time as any."
Really sorry for not having a post up, didn't have access to the internet for a while. I should have something up by tomorrow night, thanks for bearing with me.
I should have something up tomorrow or Friday afternoon.
The tree demon was disinterested in whatever the dragons in front of him had to say. He had tried to pay attention to their conversation, but it never felt like the right time to say anything. Nexias, the black dragon, talked a lot.
He seems protective, but very talkative and chaotic. I'm beginning to dislike him even more, Ocotl thought to himself. He didn't like people who talked a lot, but he was willing to tolerate them.
He peered beyond Nexias' form to see some kind of ceremony going on. Dragons of different shapes and sizes produced unusual magic displays, or fought courageously against other dragons like them. Elements flew back and forth, during the ceremonies, lighting up the large, open space of the ceremony grounds. He looked back at the group gathered near him, joints creaking slightly again.
The group was larger now, other dragons having joined the motley crew, seemingly friends of Nexias. A dragon, taking the form of a small, blonde-haired child, was one of the newcomers. A bright light seemed to radiate from her, and Ocotl could tell that she was very powerful. There was almost a hum of energy around her, the air slightly distorting like a mirage. She was somehow familiar, but if he had known her, it was from many years ago, back when his Master was still alive. She did not seem to act with a child either, acting with a decisiveness only reserved for those of old age. She would probably be the most powerful one here, he thought to himself. And the oldest. Nexias had a dangerous look on him again, talking to the child-form dragon.
"See, that's all I wanted, and as for their names. I honestly have no idea, hell, I didn't even know that the cat wasn't a cat..." he said, rambling on about something or another, getting excited later as he went on. Ocotl blinked slowly, waiting for him to finish speaking. He realized that he hadn't said his name or even introduced himself, and regardless Nexias had somehow trusted him. Maybe he would be a good ally to have after all... Ocotl thought to himself.
"I apologize for not having introduced myself," Ocotl rumbled, addressing the group, his black eyes twinkling. "I go by Ocotlantli, but you may call be Ocotl. I do not wish to harm anyone, I am merely looking for something." He glanced at the cat. He would have some explaining to do, most likely, for nobody knew his name.
He looked at the blonde-haired dragon, humming briefly.
"Did you happen to know of a Dragon, like you, very gifted in the ways of nature?", he asked her. "I have been trying to find his home-place. One as long-lived as you may know, yes?"
I know I said I would have something up today, but I didn't get around to it. I'll do my best to have something tomorrow afternoon, sorry about the slow pace.
I'll have something up tomorrow, busy with other stuff today.
I might introduce Jeonbae at a later date, I'd like to focus on one character for now.
For all intents and purposes, Jeonbae is out doing errands for dragons and humans, and maybe skipping the festival this year, haha.
