High above the Temple and Library in the Gaian Mountains, Maria was circling the area trying to figure out the best way to land. She could feel a bit of excitement because she somewhat remembered passing by this place along time ago. Her rainbow aura was shining much brighter than normal since she hoped this place had the knowledge she seeks to uncurse Zargoth and herself.

She was still circling around high above the place but her rainbow aura was shining as if it is a beacon to all that is below, and it casted rainbows in all directions from her as well.

Maria had never really approached this place before, because she felt a feeling of dread when she passed over it along time ago. She slowly flew down gently, her rainbow aura was glowing brighter and all the grey patches slowly faded into a brighter color. Her flight was beautiful but she could notice closer in that there was damage. Her body language was a bit nervous when she saw that. [i]”[color=#ff0000]I[/color][color=#ff1900]-[/color][color=#ff3300]I[/color] [color=#ff6600]h[/color][color=#ff7f00]o[/color][color=#ff9400]p[/color][color=#ffaa00]e[/color] [color=#ffd400]n[/color][color=#ffea00]o[/color][color=#ffff00]t[/color][color=#ccff00]h[/color][color=#99ff00]i[/color][color=#66ff00]n[/color][color=#33ff00]g[/color] [color=#00ff2b]b[/color][color=#00ff55]a[/color][color=#00ff80]d[/color] [color=#00ffd5]h[/color][color=#00ffff]a[/color][color=#00ccff]p[/color][color=#0099ff]p[/color][color=#0066ff]e[/color][color=#0033ff]n[/color][color=#0000ff]e[/color][color=#1c00ff]d[/color] [color=#5300ff]t[/color][color=#6f00ff]o[/color] [color=#9e00d5]t[/color][color=#b200aa]h[/color][color=#c50080]i[/color][color=#d80055]s[/color] [color=#ff0000]p[/color][color=#ff1900]l[/color][color=#ff3300]a[/color][color=#ff4c00]c[/color][color=#ff6600]e[/color][color=#ff7f00]…[/color]”[/i] Maria thought to herself. She couldn’t really tell anything in the cold wind from this far up, and she enjoyed being in the cold or heat since her body temperature is different. The rainbows were getting more concise and dense in til one massive rainbow went over the Library and Temple.

She lands on the outskirts of the temple, gently as one could for the size she is. Her glowing aura was brighter on the snow than it was high up in the sky, it was mostly because snow reflects light. She looks around for a bit and shapeshifts into her humanoid form, even though the landing probably did worry people.

Her shapeshifted form did shiver a bit mostly because of a chill down her spine..

A voice echoes, in her head and it was slightly different than it was. [color=teal][i]”How… curious… trying to get rid of us? It seems… like you grasp…. Knowledge… that you… are curious… to,”[/i][/color] The Spectre telepathically said in her head. The Spectre looked at Maria a bit more serious and had a smile on it’s creepy face. It was grateful that she couldn’t see it. It put one of its hands close to its face and thinks for a minute. [color=teal][i]”Most Interesting… Princess… You will have to try harder…,”[/i][/color] The Spectre telepathically said in her head.

Maria’s chill down her spine got worse with the last thing heard from the thing she’s haunted by. ”[color=#ff0000]I[/color][color=#ff4000]-[/color][color=#ff7f00]I[/color] [color=#80ff00]w[/color][color=#00ff00]i[/color][color=#00ffff]l[/color][color=#0080ff]l[/color][color=#0000ff]…[/color] [color=#c50080]t[/color][color=#ff0000]r[/color][color=#ff7f00]y[/color],” Maria said, sheepish, softly and shivering a bit from the chill down her spine. She doesn’t understand the thing that speaks to her and it changes its voice constantly. Her rainbow aura, that was full blown sun mode in her dragon form calmed down in her Shapeshifted form. Her aura was now slightly dimmer but it had a distinct color of fear, curiosity and happiness at the same time. She let out a deep long sigh of relief that she is at someplace that could help her answer some questions. 

Maria looked at the two structures for a bit. She slowly calmed down of being afraid but her aura showed the fact she’s still afraid. She walked slowly towards the structure that looked the most imposing that was the Library. She looked down at the snow on her feet and she has never really seen snow before.

She walked ahead with the smile on her face of finally seeing snow after all this time, she kinda wanted to play in the snow.

Maria felt uneasy while going towards the Library because it was much more imposing than the Temple. She fell on her face because she on accident tripped on her feet.

She slowly gets up and walks towards the Library again with a bit of a careful step to her. She didn’t want to fall on her face again.

In the Vrondi Capital, Zargoth was still walking towards the Center of the Capital. He was watching the scenery carefully and keeping an eye on his daughter at the same time. He was slightly annoyed with some things but he couldn’t help shake a feeling as if something is wrong. [color=black][i]”Hmm… I hope nothing is wrong with Maria…,”[/i][/color] Zargoth thought to himself, with his mind close to any Solarians. He knew he wanted to see the Castle of this great city though since he wanted to know some things.

Yioplya was looking at everything in awe, while walking with her father towards the center. She was amazed with how big this entire place is and she wanted to see the castle as well. She wanted to go faster. [color=orange]”We should pick up the pace father…,”[/color] Yioplya said to her father.

Zargoth looked down at his daughter a bit and sighed with a slight annoyance. He recognized that they took the longest time to walk there. [color=black]”Sure, daughter let’s go,”[/color] Zargoth said. He wanted to pick up the pace too but he wanted his daughter to suggest it and not him.

Yioplya was happy that her father said yes, he never says yes. [color=orange]”Yays, thank you father…,”[/color] Yioplya said a bit hyper and happy that her father finally said something she wanted to hear. She has a very explorative nature within her and being trapped underneath the Dragon Roost was depressing to her.

Zargoth and his daughter walked a bit faster towards the center of the town. Because of their picking up the pace, they reached the center a bit sooner and saw the invitation with their binocular vision. He was a bit amazed he always wanted to see what the Kings and Queens of the other kingdoms look like, he hardly got out of his territory after what happened. He did join the side that won at least, by force from Maria’s doing. [color=black][i]”Hmm… I wondered what changed if anything… between these kingdoms,”[/i][/color] Zargoth thought to himself, with a inquisitive look on his face.

Yioplya was mostly looking at the invitation, showing it was a meeting and more like a party or a ball. [color=orange]”I… want to dance,”[/color] Yioplya said, cutely towards her father. She wanted to cutely dance in front of tons of people. She doesn’t really know if she’s rusty but she usually dances much.

Zargoth looked at his daughter and rolled his eyes. [color=black]”Yes, I know you want to dance, that’s all you want to do,”[/color] Zargoth said. He was slightly annoyed with his daughter sometimes mostly with how she acts and her complete naivety. It didn’t help he was the only one that was raising her. He sighed slightly and wished his wife was alive still.

Yioplya was happier when her father said yes again. She had a skip in her step and was happier a bit more. [color=orange]”Thank you father. I will have fun there,”[/color] Yioplya said. She had a smile on her face.

At Dragonpass Encampment, Johnson walked outside of his home to his family. He saw his two daughters still playing and his wife was standing there watching them. [color=D3D3D3]”That’s wonderful, they are playing still,”[/color] Johnson said a bit relieved with what he had done to that contract. He was proud to have his daughter's safe but a strange air started swinging around the camp and it was quite unknown to him.

Hannah felt the change in the air and was wondering what that was about. “Husband what is happening?” Hannah asked confused. She couldn’t really understand what is happening.

The strange air that happened stopped and nothing was out of the ordinary. Except for one single thing, there was brandished slitted eyes looking directly at Johnson and Hannah. “Why did you destroy the Contract?” A female voice asked, a bit angered at this. She walked out of the shadows and her appearance* was different from everyone else. Her aura stopped imitating a dark aura and slowly turned bright. She walked closer to Johnson and his wife but left their children alone. [color=#00FFFF]”Do I have to repeat myself… Why?”[/color] She asked again a bit more annoyed.

Johnson felt a chill down his spine when he heard the voice coming from one of his ancestors, the ancient solar dragon by the name of Melinda. [color=D3D3D3]”Because we shouldn’t be apart of this entire thing,”[/color] Johnson said, with vindication. He was serious with what was going on.

Melinda looked at him a bit seriously and sighed. [color=#00FFFF]”I guess you did the one thing I couldn’t I was afraid of the entire deal but he told me I could get my revenge on my mother…,”[/color] Melinda said, a bit relieved.

Johnson was a bit startled when she said that and felt as if there’s a something amiss. [color=d3d3d3]”Melinda then why did you signed it in the first place, Besides what you said…,”[/color] Johnson said. He couldn’t really tell why he was worried about one of his ancestors. He was more worried about her than anything, since she has self-inflicted wounds on her.

Melinda sighed and shrugged her shoulders. [color=#00FFFF]”If I didn’t Dargoth would have killed all of the Solar Dragons and Descendants of us… Therefore, he did the one thing the Valorous Dragonlord was good at Threatening to Wipe out an entire species to make his point,”[/color] Melinda said. She could feel Johnson’s eyes on her and she was embarrassed at this and looked away from him. [color=#00FFFF]”P-Please don’t stare at me… I get embarrassed easier than Maria…,”[/color] Melinda said, blushing and a bit worried about her mother.

Johnson was startled that the only real reason why the Stonefields were tasked with this contract in the first place was leverage or blackmail. [color=d3d3d3]”Sorry, My lady… I can’t help myself… Why do you have those self-inflicted wounds?”[/color] Johnson asked. He did look at his wife.

Hannah had an annoyed look on her face because her husband always doesn’t think when he speaks to women, unless its her and Ms. Winters. “Who is this? And why did you call her my lady?” Hannah asked towards her husband.

Melinda heard the question that Hannah asked Johnson and giggled a bit. She was blushing from Johnson’s stares. [color=#00FFFF]”I… am Emma L. Stonefield’s Daughter who was forcing me to dress as if I am a guy, when I was shapeshifted. But I am totally not a guy and a girl, 100%. Melinda L. Stonefield is my name. And I am your husband’s ancestor, a Full blooded Solar Dragon,”[/color] Melinda answered Hannah’s questions. She glanced at Johnson and sighs. [color=#00FFFF]”Because my mother was mistreating me…,”[/color] Melinda replied to Johnson’s question.

Hannah heard what Melinda had said and was utterly shocked to see another Dragon in short notice the first one was Maria Z. Tetra-Lira, the Rainbow Dragon Matriarch. She had went into shock for a bit because she never thought the dragons would come out of the woodwork to this Encampment but she remember seeing Melinda a lot in the Encampment as one of the 20 guards. “Err, it seems like Melinda was keeping an eye on us as much as much as you were protecting us, Husband,” Hannah said a bit shocked.

Ms. Winters walked up to Johnson with an important contract for a bounty. “Johnson.. This is for you, sir,” Winters said, kindly.

Johnson heard his wife’s shocked statement and he was shocked a bit, but he saw Ms. Winters walk up to him and hand him a contract bounty for something really strange, it was as if it was an Invitation to somewhere in Nero. [color=D3D3D3]”Weird… That is strange,”[/color] Johnson said a bit weirded out by it.

[hider=* - appearance]
The woman in question was 5’6” tall and was a petite athletic build woman. Her skin is more reformed scales to imitate skin as can be seen in its slightly scaly appearance and her scales are similar to the bluish green in color that Johnson has for her scale color. She has a ever changing aura but it only pulses between two colors blue and green. She has many scars on her body and they look as if she self injured herself. She has two visible horns on her head and they are Bluish Green in color, they look like they are a mixture of two metallic substances to give its bluish green in color. Her facial features are similar to Johnson’s two daughters more than anything. Her eyes are pulsing red, green, blue; these pulses are much slower than Maria’s eyes. She emits a brooding aura, is intense and annoyed at any situation it seems. Her left hand seems to be the most human despite the Bluish Green claw-like nails while the other is strictly a miniaturized version of her true claw. Her skin fluctuates in color to a dimmer and darker color only to shift back into a brighter color and it is only because of the sun hitting her skin. There’s a thin bluish green aura surrounding her skin as well.

She’s wearing a specialized design one-piece dress with a cloak surrounding her. It looks like it was made of Solar Dragon scales. This is basically the clothes that the royals wore in the Ancient Solar Dragon Council, the Stonefield Council. It had the Emma L. Stonefield Seal on the clothing and it was shining a bit brighter than the person who’s wearing it.[/hider]
