Siabel

''I just hope that a beautiful Dragon like you isn't going hurt me, I would hate to be hurt before I can be that father"
Siabel didnt await a flirt, but it made her raise the brow her smirk growing showing all of her white teeth. Watching as the blue dragon used his tail as a spring before taking off into the air. He mind still halfway focusing on Momo scent. Concluding that she must have entered into a building.
Once he was in the air flying and watching hershe closed her eyes and breath deep in. Next there was no air around Aksaja. No air to push down with his wings to make him fly. No air to breath in. A perfect vacuum, as even the dust particles removed themselves with the air flow. A sphere around the dragon that had no air what so ever, but gravity was still in order. And with it she watched the other start failing, probably slightly suffocating. Just a foot away from the ground she reversed the flow of her magic, breathing out creating a extremely dense air just under the blue slithering, so dense it reminded like a invisible pillow that stopped the fall. Siabel laughed watching the reactions before the winds flooded under the wings of Aksja pushing him back to where he was moments ago on his own.
'' Tell me are you disoriented?~ '' She folded her wings, chuckling. '' This is my weaker magic which I perfected. The cutting winds, I will keep for my aging ceremony.''
She looked over to the grandpa wondering if she will get a praise, or compliment that she obliviously earned well. Turning her head once again, as if she awaited Momo to sit there under the tree quite opposite what the wind carried to her nose.

Her tail flickering, for a moment in nervousness. Wondering if her good impression on the elder was well good enough to just go or she should stay and collect a few more points? Momo will be intelegent enough to not get on someones lunch plate...hopefully.

Chu

The earth dragon found it really motherly from aster he was telling him a another adult to stay out of the trouble. Seriously he is the perfect mommy type, lucky the dragon who does gets him. Chu mussed as he watched the dragon swim and soon enough change in his compact form to swim. His attention wandering back to the questioning baby.

''Hm....My own eggs..I want to have at least 20. Doesnt have to be from one mate. Once I have them I will take care of them to hatch maybe train to become a grandpa. I hope till then I found that one special dragon in my heart. Then when I become a grandpa I will settle down, and who knows maybe do that wedding thing. Humans you know have a ceremony where they bond their fate to gathers. One wears white the other black. And together they are like a full day cycle...And somewhere there are lots of flowers....for some reason...didnt really figure it all out yet.....''

Chu frowned in deep thinking, remembering all the times he secretly spied on weddings. What sense made it to give away flowers that died a few days later and get thrown away. It was such a waste.The cake on other side was delicious, but he wondered why it has to be a special cake, maybe a special magic...but then you wouldnt give it out to the guest just like that. His ears picked up a sound and he turned his head.

A group of child dragons were all going after a chicken who was running over the plates, and between the big baskets. One dragon breathing a puff of fire trying to grill it, but hitting a bush Instead. A dragon in the water lazily put the fire out with a splash of his tail.The chicken completely crazy from panic was directly running towards Chu and Myrtle.
''Uh-Oh'' Chu giggled, looking towards the baby. '' Either escape up or down~'' He gave the advice as his form shrunk again and where once a brown messy haired man was sitting was only left with a hole that lead down into the earth. In his dragon form he carefully listened to the vibration able to tell the differences of the dragons and the chicken. Hoping the baby dont get too scared, but well dragons wouldnt be usually that easily trampled over by a small horde of children dragons. And as a baby she sure will learn reflexes are important.

Momo stiffened as the two headed dragon mentioned her being human...food. She was ready to tell what her lady siabel taught her to do if she get in this sort of situation. But she didnt get the chance as the situation further escaped control. Vesperia stepping in front of her protecting her. Some dark aura starting to fill the shop making the poor shop owner get angry.
Momo touched softly Vesperia shoulder, wanting to speak up as she already pulled a few things from her bag. They were going much faster then she awaited them to.

It was Sealameet who take the initiative. Probably acting on his heart and love for Vesperia, Momo concluded.
''I am sorry.'' She said to them all in a way. Placing down a carton box down with caramel bonbons. ''This taste better then me, right head.''She smiled placing a pocket watch on top of it. '' A good luck charm for the exam.'' And leaving a music box open beside on the floor, a mechanical bird singing, adding just as fast. ''For the rucksack I caused in the shop.'' She swiftly turned around and followed the two dragons close by and out of the shop. Hopping the gift she left would be enough for a apology. She looked at both dragons and made a apologetic bow at them. '' I am truly sorry for this situation. '' Holding her somewhat lighter bag close to herself.

She didnt managed to say anything more as another dragon picked up on the situation walking up to them.
''Well this is the last place I'd expect to see a human.You are aware they aren't allowed here? Maybe you shouldn't be making such a commotion."
Momo sighed, smiling nicely,slowly moving closer to Vesperia.
''I my self am really sorry. But I am no human. I am a human pet'' She stressed the word out. her fingers touching the necklace around her neck. '' I am part of my lady Siabel horde. This nice collar is prove I belong to her. She gets really angry if someone harm her things. Please allow me to apologize to you all with few cups of fresh tea. '' She spoke up looking at the love pair and back to the third dragon, hopping they all accept. She had a tea set and a fast water cooking gadget, wondering what taste would the dragons prefer, fruit tea, or green tea? Maybe Camille or dark tea like her Lady loved?

Momo will be intelegent enough to not get on someones lunch plate...hopefully.

Aksaja waited in the air for her to do something then he felt that he couldn't fly or breath and he tried to sty in the air but obviously failed as he dropped and wondered where the air went as he dropped then he felt a pillow of some sort as he neared the ground and didn't hit the floor then he wobbled onto his tail swerving a little even only if he was standing " good trick" he said simply waiting to get his senses back as he listened to her explanation and Aksaja said "that's a trick that will only work if someone will stay still" Aksaja pointed out to her knowing it was effective to make Aksaja dizzy but it would only be effective if the guy staid still and he smiled at her "you are so damn beautiful I hope we both become adults together" Aksaja said before he dropped to the floor falling asleep from his dizziness...

Myrtle listened to Chu, curiously listening before chuckling softly at the mention of human weddings. And how their odd ceremony was preformed. Mhmm suppose dragons don't have the same ceremony, they probably just courted without making a whole thing on it unless they wanted to. The red head brushed her fingers through her hair thoughtfully before smiling at the earth dragon.

"Well, flowers are more like a symbol of life in general. A bouquet of flowers are beautiful just like the love between couples, but eventually they wilt but at least they die together. Their life is so short, so they make the most of it to bloom brilliantly with the time they have left. Same as humans." the human spoke with a kind smile.

Just then a group of young dragons came rampaging after a panicked chicken, glancing toward Chu whom transformed into his cute bunny dragon form. Looking to the incoming group of dragons, Myrtle pondered what to do quickly. Sure a baby dragon might be able to survive a trampling from other young dragons, but humans were much more fragile.

She could use her boots to dodge, but she had a feeling that would make the dragons here suspicious. She wasn't exactly a dodger either, she was a pilot, not some adventurer. Before she was about to make a jump for it, water jetted out from the lake and wrapped itself around her, picking her up high enough to avoid the trampling.

Looking over she saw Aster walking over, his right hand lifted while water surrounded it. Grumbling a little as he was still bare chested and hair let down.

"I told you to be careful." Aster sighed.

Damia

Damia tilted her head a little as the newest dragon female practically yelled at her for such a thing. The right head hissed back, eyes narrowing. "How dare you yell at a child dragon, defending a human who shouldn't even be here. The elders rip you apart." the right head hissed though the left head had a the opposite reaction. One that any pressured child would do.

Cry.

The left head lifted it's head and let out a wail, screetching like a siren as water dropped from the closed yellow eyes. The loud cry never ceasing even with the annoyed look of Damia's second head. The right head watched as the crystal owner got between them, growling at the dark enveloped female, the left never stopped crying, making her own sense of hearing ring.

As the human offered sweets, the right head snorted. "I suppose, though I'll ask Papa to bring me some human after one of his assaults. Can taste plenty then I suppose." the right head spoke, sniffing the box curiously.

The left head sniffled, though curiously examined the box and watch, curiousity at least making her stop the loud wail.

Winter thought the grandpa dragon's words over and decided he probably knew what he was talking about. She gently gathered up the snow filled, Evericed dragon figurines and walked in her compact form, afraid of accidentally smashing them if she transformed into her real form. She headed towards the crystal shop, weaving among the other dragons to get there. She was halfway in the door she saw the shop owner, and felt a tug at her memory. A name came to mind and she walked toward the woman, a puzzled look on her face.

"Lucatiel?" She asked. She recognized her, but from where? She fumbled as she lost her grip on her Everice figurines and scrambled to keep them from smashing on the floor. She swore as the snow baby smashed and scattered snow across the floor. She looked at it mournfully. That was the best one she recaled creating. It had been perfect. From the pert little mouth, to the almost microscopic eyelashes and the tiny fingers on its hands. Dammit, She thought. I really liked that one. She swept up the snow and dusted it onto the remaining adult dragon and the half hatched dragon egg figurines.

Vesperia
This vortex of violet whirling around Vesperia only flourished when Lucatiel conjured a crystal line of defense. Vibrant almost blindingly bright butterflies slowly materialized, and proceeded to flutter jaggedly sharp wings around the horned dragon with vengeful purple eyes. They began whispering an only audible chant to their summoner urging her to utilize their corrupt force.

”Child or not, destroy the insolent cur.

It does not respect you.

It does not accept you.

No one does.” Cooed the inviting spirts that could only be heard by Vesperia.

“That…That’s not true, at least--not anymore. There may be someone.” Vesperia timidly fought back.

“No, let us protect you.

Let us destroy it.” They seethed.

It was the gentle hand of Sealameet that soothed the dark flame and made her fight back against using such means. Momo’s hand on her other shoulder calmed the rest of any lingering unease.

“Enough!” She screamed internally at the spirits and forced the butterflies to shatter like broken pieces of glass.

The once purplish glow abruptly surrounding her body fell shimmering to the ground below where they were soaked into the floor. For now, they were gone. The destructive spirits that occasionally beckoned her would be at peace for at least a little while but would no doubt return. In the meantime she intertwined her hands, resting them against her chest like a prayer. Hoping that dreadful wailing the left headed dragon produced would disperse after an apology, and being given gifts it did not deserve.

“I apologize for my actions and will cause you no more grief.” She bowed a formal curtsy to both dragons including Sealameet's sister.

Her currently harmless state turned to leave after casting a vacant glance at the long haired male dragon that entered giving an un-requested opinion about humans. Deep down inside, sorry was an emotion she did not feel at that moment in the least. She had been treated exactly like this human had at the other tribe and clear as day those traumatic scars were still present. All those memories had left a deep seeded hatred for dragons or anyone who judged someone by appearance, magic, or species. How close minded they were and she refused to spend another moment around them. Before opening the door to head out another dragon entered the shop inquiring about Lucatiel. Vesperia blinked a few times at the crowd all gathered in the space and turned her attention to Momo and Sealameet who she spoke softly to.

“For now, I’ll be outside if you need me.” A cheerless smile followed while trying to carry on a homey demeanor though these dragons probably would not buy it.

Since Sealameet encouraged that no harm would fall Momo, she felt safe waiting near the establishment. Finding this situation best if she were to step outside and avoid further socialization least she really lose her temper, and destroy whatever friendship was left among Sealameet and Momo. Her back rested against the shop building. A long winded sigh escaped her while melancholy hues closed for a moment, taking in a light breeze that kissed exposed skin. Maybe coming here was not such a good idea after all but then she never would have met her two friends. Her heart ached because she felt saddened that they had deduced Momo to a troubling human whose only purpose was to be dragon food. Something else weighed her down too, she did not mean to disrespect Sealameet's sister. Could he ever forgive her?

Lucatiel

The anger that Lucatiel saw in Vesperia only reminded her of her childhood before Sealameet had watched over her. How others would pick on her, how they would say she was unworthy to even be called a dragon. That she should of died in the egg rather then suffer as she was. It blinded her and made her want to fight, but she held herself back waiting for Vesperia to make the first move. She was surprised then when Vesperia suddenly calmed and issued and apology to the left head of the two headed serpent and made her way to the door. When she had worked herself out of her surprised state, she realized the little commotion had brought in quite a few people. Before she got to them though she had to work with the customers she had and returned to business, as if the commotion hadn't even happened.

"It's all right darling, it's not your fault," Lucatiel said to the left head giving a simpathetic look before turning a stern gaze to the right head ",There will be no eating of humans here or anywhere if I'm having an eye on you. Along with what my brother has told me about humans and there own eating habits, I doubt they can taste appealing."

Her attention then went to Momo giving a warm smile."There is no need to be sorry, just some of us who are awed be humans. Here take your request," she replied, having her hands closed the entire time all the while talking between the three. When she opened them, they revealed a perfectly spherical black stone, shimmering as the night sky.

"You said you wanted it for your lady did you not? Well never say I don't try and make customers happy with there requests," she continued before being interrupted by one of the newer dragons that entered the shop. The voice was familiar, and she quickly tried to put a name with the voice. She drew a blank at the moment.

"Yes that is my name, pardon me for asking this but who are you?" she said sweetly giving a gentle smile, a stark contrast on how she had looked only a few moments before "Oh and sir I'll be with you as well if you are looking for something." She motioned at the other dragon who had come in while the stand off had been going on.

Sealameet
While the standoff continued between his sister and Vesperia, another dragon had entered and commented on the human though he didn't sound like he cared so much about the situation as he led on. Sealameet shook his head and waited to see the outcome of the matter at hand.

He hadn't realized he had been holding his breath until Vesperia had came out of her angered state. He exhaled and gave a smile at her as she left the shop and waited outside. He wanted to follow her but was stumped on what to say, he didn't wish to make the situation worst but he feared that whatever he would say could bring a travesty to the budding friendship he had with Vesperia. While his sister was busy contending with all the people now in the shop, he grabbed one of the crystal creations reminding himself to thank his sister later as he took it and made his way out past the others to find Vesperia. He didn't need to look far since she was waiting right outside.

"Hey," he managed to say giving a gentle smile to her ",I got you this." He held out his hand which was another one of his sister's creations. This creation was a butterfly, he had taken noticed of the odd dark shapes that had surrounded Vesperia. He hadn't realized what they were at first even until he had looked at what he had grabbed off the shelf and realized the shape was the same in some aspects.

"So I take it your powers are of darkness?" he asked, not out of fear, cation, or worry as if she was dangerous, but rather out of curiosity. He had found Vesperia interesting when he had first saw her and the more he learned the more interest he had in her and the more the odd feeling in him increased ",That's quite impressive you know. Better then just average fire like me. Well I guess average might not be the right word to describe it but it's not as unique as you are." He continued on trying in some way to make her feel better.

"Oh and I hope we are still up for that flight later," he then added remembering their conversation before the conflict had broken out ",That is if you want to still."

Winter tilted her head at Lucatiel, her dragonlike slitted eyes showing the internal struggle that was going on in her mind. "I'm Winterink. I remember you from somewhere. But I lost most of my memories somehow, years ago." She frowned and stood up from where she had swept up the shattered Everice figure Winter then remembered the figurines in her hand and gently held them out to Lucatiel gently, the light bouncing off the whitish clear ice that encased them, holding thier shape and defining every tiny detail.

"I was wondering if you would like these. I find myself creating hundreds of them, almost obsessively, and have nothing to do with them. The ice surrounding the snow figure is usually very strong, but if they are dropped they shatter like thin ice." She told her, her icy blue eyes lighting up as she spoke of her figurines. "I'm working on making the Everice stronger and the limbs movable so children can play with them like dolls." She looked at Lucatiel hopefully.

Varius frowned a little bit at the human's response, keeping a rather close eye on the aggressive crystal dragon. In case he needed to defend himself or the child. His ears did perk a little at the offer of tea, one of the things humans were rather good at was preparing food after all.“Fruit tea then. And where is this Siabel? I hope she is aware that there are many dragons here that are extremely aggressive toward humans, or clumsy enough to accidentally step or sit on one. That is one or the reason's humans are not allowed here, the others being-” he started lecturing a little, fortunately for everyone else he was rather interrupted by the young two headed dragon's shrieking.

His glare become much more wary however as she interacted with the child though. He was a tad aware of the sneaky and underhanded tactics humans in books were said to use, poison being a recurring theme in some of them! Then again, there really wasn't any motive so it was probably fine. More importantly it was stopping the one head from shrieking.

“Well then...” he huffed a bit as the situation seemed to calm itself down. “I am Varius, pleasure to meet you. I do hope you aren't from the southern human territories, and that you manage to survive through the festival of course. I rather approve of humans that have a spine around dragons.” he said with a chuckle.

He'd give a little nod to Lucatiel as she spoke to him. “Oh don't worry about me, I just came to see what all the fuss was in here. Well I suppose now I'm here for tea actually.” he'd add with a little chuckle, flicking his tail a little in approval as he turned his attention back to the human.

Jeonbae raised an eyebrow ever so slightly as he heard Aksaja flirt with Siabel It was to be expected, but it seemed a little forward. He paid it no mind, just two excited teen dragons together. He effortlessly switched into his dragon form, shooting upward silently on wings of air like some giant snake, the fur on his spine rippling in the wind. He stayed some distance away from the two dragons, but he made sure to keep an eye on them. Siabel seemed to have something about her, and while she seemed diligent, Jeonbae did not doubt that she had the capacity to be deceitful.

He saw Siabel speak briefly, and then noticed the air around Aksaja... distort, somehow. The blue dragon began to fall to the ground, but Jeonbae did not attempt to catch him. The wind dragon would break his fall if she knew what was good for her, he thought with some disdain. Moments before he hit the ground, he stopped, the air similarly distorting near the ground under Aksaja. A torrent of air under the dragon, and he was back up to his original position in the sky. Jeonbae was impressed, to say the least. Siabel possesses a good mastery over her magic, controlling it with confidence; she should become an adult with ease, he thought to himself, a warm smile on his face, nodding slightly. However, he was concerned for the safety of the other dragon, Aksaja, so he slowly flew towards the ground, shifting back to his compact form. He saw the two exchange words, but could not hear them before the blue dragon fainted from dizziness, head resting against the ground. He jogged over to his prone form, kneeling down to check his pulse. When Jeonbae was finished, he stood up, and looked over at Siabel. He noticed her tail flicking about in a way similar to before, but once again, ignored it.

"I think your mastery over your magic is impressive," Jeonbae explained to the black dragon, nodding. "You seem to control it with confidence, you should have little trouble in the ceremony." He looked back at Aksaja's sleeping form, and knelt down again. He placed a hand on the blue dragon's chest, narrowing his eyes in concentration. A tiny pulse of electrical energy jolted into him, probably enough to wake his sleeping form.

Aksaja laid on the ground sleeping until he felt the electrical jolt in his chest and he gasped loudly to get his breath back from the sudden jolt "shit that hurt!" Aksaja said in surprise but he looked to see it was the GGD that did it probably to wake him up and Aksaja smiled "oh thank you Grand Grandfather." he looked at saibel and he whispered something to the GGD "hey tell me the truth I was to forward with that flirt wasn't I? I never flirted before" Aksaja whispered to him feeling embarrassed for himself that he said that and hoped that it wouldn't take to much away from his chance to be with the beautiful wind dragon that Aksaja prayed he didn't have to fight during the festival to become an adult. Aksaja would rather take his chance at impressing the GGD instead with his electrical abilities and show them he could blackout a building instead of fighting...

Chu

He waited until the group passed before he peeked his head out. His long ears turning to listen around. The dragons nose twitching finding it safe. Jumping out of the earth and turning into his compact form again. Dusting himself off the earth dust that was clinging on his cloths. He was thinking for a bit under the earth, while waiting for the kids to pass. He tilted his head watching how Aster protected his little baby.
''You should consider walking chest free and hair down more often, you steaming overly worried mommy~'' Chu teased him because, he just couldnt not tease him especially when he responded so nicely to it.
But his attention turned back to the baby.
''Myrtle how would you know what it means for humans? You know that flower thing. I dont think aster would let you chitchat with humans considering how he is dying from worry for you. Or are you making things up to sound clever? Thats not something a dragon should be doing. Others will call you a liar and bully you.''
Chu frowned in a disappointed manner shaking his head. It was the face chu often made when he was disappointed with a baby or child behavior, knowing how much it made them worry and feel at fault for it.
'' You know liars are often the victims of hunters because no one believes them when they call out for help when the human hunters capture and kill them. One comes to save them.''
He added taking a carrot from close by and bite it down. Watching her with the corner of the eye to determent if he had the wished effect on her.

Siabel

She watched Aksaja slowly sink to the earth and land, he complimented her, Siabel was standing proud at the comment.
"that's a trick that will only work if someone will stay still"
He helpfully pointed out, or at least thougth he was helping. The black dragon smirk grow more. Sure that would been a concern when she was a child, but she planed to become a adult. Of coures she would have worked around this 'weakness' of her trick. The answer was simple, she could always expand and move the airless sphere around if the target is slow. But if it was fast she would be just flying. He magic could work relative to her own position. If she moved fast, the sphere would more just as fast. And she could fly really fast, well...as long as Momo wasnt on her back, as she really didnt enjoyed getting puke over her neck, back and wings. But there was no need to explain everything about her magic to a random dragon teen.

She watched amused as the dragon fainted. Chuckling for herself at yet another flirt. She was very aware that she was beautiful. She calmly watched as the grandpa landed down and giving her a praise.
''Thank you for your very kind words grandpa.'' She responded at the lovely praise for her ears, nodding her head. She looked away from the blue dragon whispering something to the grandpa, once he was shocked awake not really carrying what it was. Smelling the wind anew.
Her dragon head turned towards the two.'' I must now go sadly. I should go fetch my pet, she run off again. You know how lively they can be, not able to sit 5 minutes still.'' Smiling and giving each a nod, she decided to fly to the place the smell of Momo was coming from. Her wings pushing down and catapulting her straight up, with a small pirouette as around her axis, her wings spreading out as she stopped leaning forward and flying of carried by the winds, not once flapping her wings.

---

Momo bowed her head, just imagining what Siabel would shout at her ears if she only knew what she caused of a problem. Answering to the dragon that asked her about where her lady was.Finding his lecture quite similar to what Siabel may trow at her just with a louder voice and a added snarl here and there. '' She was a the training grounds, I decide to visit this place with miss Vesperia. My lady may soon come here, she went to talk to the grandfather to inform them about me her pet... '' She added, holding the night shimmering stone in her hand. It was really beautifully. She carefully placed it in the pocket of her dress. For safe keeping and then gifting it to her lady once she become a adult on this dragon festival. Momo smiled thinking how proud her lady will look.

''Its a honor to meet you sir Varius I am coming from the east regions from here, if you wouldnt mind I can serve the tea outside under the tree in front. Fresh air makes any taste better. ''
Momo relaxed as it appeared her present calmed the crying child head at least. She still wanted to leave the shop and be on the fresh air, so her lady may spot her even earlier. Waiting for Varius approval, trying not to look disrespectfully. Eyes turning to look outside at the pair, that seemed to be radiating a sweet cute love aura. Wondering if a dragon will make her lady be so blushing and shy.

Aster rolled his eyes as he set Myrtle down, blushing deeply and crossed his arms over his bare chest as he stood beside the human girl. "I-Im n-nothing special however I look." he stuttered at the teasing as he averted his gaze in a attempt to hide his expression.

However, as Chu seemed to scold Myrtle for something, Aster stiffen a bit at the mention of hunters. Frowning as the description for crying for help brought back memories. He didn't remember having done any wrong, but no dragon came for his aid. No matter how loud or how long he cried, no one came for him. He cried until his throat was sore. Yet his dragon kind never came, and in the end it was a human who have saved him.

It made him wonder, if his family had done something wrong to have put him in such a situation. And as a child, he despised his own kind. Though when he finally managed to arrive at the tribe and the elders did all they could for him, he felt no further bitterness, only confusion. Though eventually, after Zafine's death, he came to a conclusion.

Myrtle listened to Chu and watched his disappointed expression before chuckling a little, seeming unfazed by the words. "Not lying, my mama and papa lived among humans. Do my words really sound like lies? Plus you don't really need to talk to humans to see the resemblance. I'm sure if you really respect the aspect of love, you can understand. Though I do admit, I'm lying a little. Only because Mama Aster may get in trouble." the light red head giggled, placing her right index finger over her lips in a 'it's a secret' motion.

To be honest, Aster probably would prefer her interacting with humans over dragons.

At Aster's silent stiffened form, she patted his shoulder comfortly.

Aster nervously shifted at Myrtle's words, lightly bonking her on top of the head. "Just shush." he grumbled.

---

Damia's left head merely nodded meekly though flicked her tongue out at the watch, sniffing it. While the right head rolled her eyes and snorted a little. "Why? Food is food and every dragon has their own tastes. Some eating humans like father. Some eating plants or cows. Every dragons consumes life since everything has life. Your crystals live, the ground, the stone, the trees and plants... All have life, all are consumed. Yet humans get special treatment? I see no anger shed when one eats a flower, fruit, animal, or vegetable or stone. No dragon seems willing to turn own their own for those lives. And rules say humans are not allowed, so it was a valid question, eaten or not. We respect every dragons lifestyle for each dragon is unique. That is the dragon moral. During the festival, each one can do what they wish. Outside, we respect one a others decisions." the right head spoke before snorting a bit.

The left head rolled her eyes at her other self before munching on the human sweet. Though now her mouth seemed sticky and was attempting to lick the substance away, but was otherwise seeming pleased.

Vesperia
A familiar voice stirred vexing eyes open to view Sealameet and a crystal creation from his talented sister. Bittersweet could be the feeling at that moment about the ornament. How could something so beautiful be so…manipulative? At least in her case butterflies were not exactly as innocent as they seemed, much like herself. Most of the spirits she summoned were helpful but others wished to control and tear anything apart. Fingers carefully reached out taking this multi-hued jewel but felt guilty in doing so. Like that child dragon she did not deserve this gift after the way she acted, regardless.

“Thank you kindly Sealameet. There does not seem to be a selfish part within you.” A genuine smile arose after complimenting his gracious nature. Though, eyes dropped to the crystal as she gently touched the tips of each wing with her fingertips as he directed the topic toward her magic.

“So I take it your powers are of darkness?” He inquired.

“They are.” She responded matter-of-factly without much explanation, and in a sense expected a scolding. As he continued Vesperia was quite surprised at his reaction however, and replayed his praise in her mind a couple of times making sure she understood correctly.

“Impressive?” Blond hair slid of shoulders as she tilted her head while looking up to him quizzically. No one had ever said that about her dark magic before. Acerbus viewed all magic as equal not one better than the other. He neither endorsed nor discouraged her use of it so she was quite taken aback by full-fledged approval but not only that. Sealameet went on to explain how average his fire element was and she shook her head in disagreement.

“Fire is beautiful. I would very much like to see sometime—if you don’t mind, that is.” She smiled and placed her newly acquired butterfly stone in her velvet bag. For a moment all shyness left her, and allowed this demure dragon to do something she would not have done in a million years. Her form stood and took steps, stopping mere inches from the fire dragon.

“I find you quite unique too, and would love a flight alongside you.” Wooing words stated candidly, giving him a compliment back.

Slowly a hand sweetly swept Sealameets bangs away from his face, and surprisingly discovered that he had inherited horns too. His just happened to be concealed by volumes of disheveled tresses, which she absolutely adored. She caught his gaze for a second, peering deeply into his soft eyes for a moment before leaning in to place a kiss on his forehead. Standing on tip toes in order to achieve this. All too soon she began to blush ferociously and bit down upon her bottom lip before turning to walk away, changing the subject once again.

“I am interested in that waterfall you spoke of…”She hinted, hoping he would show her the way and they could spend some time enjoying a swim. Although she possessed no waterproof attire or the like, she had no qualms swimming in her elegant dress.

"Momo...She will be alright in your sister's shop, wont she?" Vesperia suddenly exclaimed in near forgetfulness. She did have the responsibility of keeping an eye on the little human, and did not want anything bad to happen.

Siabel smiled in reaction to Jeonbae's words.
''Thank you for your very kind words grandpa," she said with some amount of sincerity.
Moments later, as expected, the electrical shock woke Aksaja up with a jolt.
"Shit that hurt!" he yelled as he sat upright quickly. "Oh, thank you Grand Grandfather." Jeonbae nodded. Before he could point out that he wasn't a Great Grandfather yet, Aksaja leaned in closer, facial features softening slightly. Jeonbae noticed he seemed a little less restless than before. The blue dragon glanced over to Siabel briefly, then turned to Jeonbae.
"Hey, tell me the truth, I was too forward with that flirt wasn't I? I never flirted before" he admitted. Jeonbae did hear bits and pieces of the conversation, and Siabel's coy reactions to his advances, but he expected that much.
"I'd say that's the case," Jeonbae said after several seconds' pause. "I have not been in a relationship for a long, long time, so I can't really help you with that kind of thing."

''I must now go sadly. I should go fetch my pet, she ran off again," the black wind dragon said to the two. "You know how lively they can be, not able to sit 5 minutes still.''
With that, she flew off, in search of her... "pet". Jeonbae was interested about what this pet was, but for now he wasn't concerned.
"Need me to show you anything else? Or do you want to explore?" he asked.

Aksaja slowly got back onto his tail getting upright before turning to the steel bar that looked like an 8 and he looked at Jeonbae " Is their a way for me to use my electricity in battle? all I have in terms of a fight against another dragon is my breath attack while my metal conduction only works on human structures, unless were allowed to fight a dragon in an environment of our choosing" Aksaja asked knowing that his breath attack will only get him so far against another dragon since his electrical conduction works on metal and he figured his elder would know how to use electricity against another dragon or to at least amplify the electrical abilities to go against a dragon....

Sealameet
Her words made his heart beat faster in his chest and made him wish that it was the evening hours, so they could fly with one another at that moment. With her coming closer to him, his heart pace increased even more. He restrained himself from doing what he wanted, to have a kiss with her, to wrap his arms around her and pull her close to him.
In that moment where her lips met his forehead, time seemed to of stopped for that brief second to him. He could have lived in that moment in bliss. Soon time came back to him and he laughed as she noticed his horns."See you've found what my hair hides. They aren't as impressive as yours are, at least not in this form."

"Yes Momo shall be fine, Lucatiel won't let anything happen to her. I'd be more worried though about Lucatiel questioning the poor girl's ear off but then again with those other dragons about she might be to busy to do that but she'll keep an eye on Momo don't worry. Now about that swim, follow me. I'll get us there quickly to enjoy the cool water before any of the festival begins." He took her hand in his and then quickly ran, leading the way through the buildings and out of the tribe and into the forest. Despite what Vesperia had said about him not being selfish, she was wrong. He was selfish in that he didn't want to part with her, he was enjoying their time together to much and wanted her to himself.

Lucatiel
"They look lovely," Lucatiel replied to Winterlink giving her a smile and taking one of the Everice creations delicately ",If you need a place to keep them safe, you could keep them here."
She cut her conversation short for a second with Winterlink to look back at the two headed dragon."That maybe, but one this is my shop, my rules. Two, Momo here belongs to a dragon, I'm sure they wouldn't be happy with you harming their human. Now here." She had shut her hands together while speaking like she had with Momo's gem, and had created the dragon lily the two headed dragon had wanted.
"There all done, now remember don't need to be nervous, you'll do fine," she said switching subjects and grabbing a piece of string ",Here I think a necklace shale be best." She wrapped it around one of the necks of the young dragon. Once she had she returned to Winterlink.
"Yeah you can keep them here if you want, then you won't have to carry them around everywhere," Lucatiel continued ",You can even work on them here if you want."

Winter's eyes lit up. "Really? Oh thank you. That would be lovely!" Then she smiled a bit shyly. "You could sell them or do whatever you want with them if you want. You know, like somehow work them into your creations as well." She added generously. "But you don't have to if you don't want to of course." She didn't want Lucatiel to think she was forcing her into anything. It wasn't something Winter would do to someone. She stroked the Everice hatchling fondly. The only art she was actually talented at was detailed sculpture and preservance of her sculptures.

It tended to be a soothing oulet for her frustrations, worries and emotions. The only solace she had found was creating her Everice figurines and making children happy. Winter was a gentle soul and only hurt others unless she thought it absolutely necessary. She especially despised people who hurt innocents and animals. Random cruelty and violence towards an undeserving victim was not tolerated. Winter usually dealt with such people by freezing them and then smashing them to bits, leaving nothing but powdered ice and bones.

Winter found great satisfaction in this way of dealing with bad people. She found a lot of satisfaction doing it. It was almost a sort of justified, sadistic pleasure. She always made sure she destroyed the right person however. She didn't like to bear the weight of the guilt of killing an innocent herself. It was hypocritical in the worst sense she could imagine.

Chu

Chus head tilted at the words of Myrtle. Letting them sit a bit he nodded. Coming to a conclusion, his foot stomped on the ground, and beside them out of the water a earth spike emerged, on top a still moving pierced fish. The earth spike turned and lowered its way until it was in front of Myrtles face.
'' Here take as my apology. Your words surprised me coming from a baby. Not too used for them to know about humans as much as you do.''
\he explained his mistrust of her words, happily grinning again walking closer. '' And I think you parents must be amazing dragons, to live under humans, regardless how often I visits I just cannot find myself staying for far too long under them a few days or a week or two and then I vanish. The pet dogs really adore to cashes my tail away.'' He sweat dropped waving his hand away. Moving a strain of hair of Aster back behind the other ear.
'' No one wants to get your mommy aster in trouble Myrtle. He is way to adorable for it.'' And with those words Chu poked the other nose, turning on his tiptoes around looking up to the skies. '' We have some bit of time till the ceremony, I bet Myrtle you will be amazed what a few dragons working together can achieve~ I helped some a bit but I am not taking part in the opening. '' Chu hummed walking away and dropping to sit on the ground again. '' Have you told her about the ground opening of the aging ceremony Aster? One day you will watch it and be dead nervous, little one~ Because it will be the festival you will be aging onward.''

He told, thinking about the ceremony he aged on to a adult. That was hard, his magic not as impressive but he managed to pull a few tricks and make a show. Dancing with a earth statue, that in the end failed apart but he turned the mistake into another trick of a wave of mud to cover his form. He chuckled wondering what magic he will see from other dragons.

Siabel

She landed in front of the shop seeing the dragon she left momo with go towards some trees holding hands with another compact form.
''Hm. Could have brought back my pet before they went off making a egg.'' She frowned a little hint of jealousy passing in her voice. Not troubling with following them or even calling out. She turned into her compact form as she turned her head towards the shop. And sure there was momo standing. She growled.

Momo

Momo watched with great interest the talk about everice. The ice dragon was making amazing sculptures. Momo wondered if most dragons had a feeling for details like the crystal dragon and the ice dragon. Or if they were just the artist under the dragons. Suddenly she felt like the temperature dropped and it wasnt the fault of the ice sculpture making dragon. Momo turned her head around to see out of the shop instead of the lovely dovly dragon pair, her lady Siabel. She yelped softly and next moment clinging to Varius back, turning him and using him as a shield.
Just as she was done hiding the door opened quite roughly. At least it didnt smashed open as her lady probably used her air magic to puffer the hit and not end up smashing something in her anger that she had to pay for later.

''Dear, sweet Momo.'' She heard her lady purr the words. Even behind the dragons back, she could swear she felt the glare from her lady boring its way to her.
'' Now it comes...'' Momo whispered to herself, holding harder on the cloths. Her wind dragon speaking up.
'' My poor pet. How often do I have to tell you to not run off on your own..or to manipulate someone to run off with you! Do you have any idea what could have happened to you?! Being stomped on, whipped by a tail and have your chest broken in tenth of pieces! Or maybe getting hit by a random fireball getting grilled to a crispy bits! Or worse some dragon may decide to eat you in two bites! Or a child magic may run wild and make you a light up with electricity up like one of those bulbs for Christmas you put around everything! And will you stop hiding behind that dragon and step in front of me!''

He lady shouted half growling in anger half scolding her, momo knew there was worry somewhere in that voice, but her Siabel looked as scary with that grin, and each time she tried to walk around Varius to get to her, momo would move around still using the dragon as a shield for the scolding. Making sure he was at all times between her lady and herself.
''And what are you trying to do with my pet human? Stealing her away?!'' her lady snarled on various and Momo peeked under the dragons hand.
'' N-no Lady Siabel, mister Various wanted a bit fruit tea. '' She said still clinging to the mister in question answering before he could have even opened his mount. Her Lady went into a silent oh calming down some. '' You took black tea with you too or?'' She asked much less angrily then before and momo nodded fast.
''Good then, Varius, nice to meet you. I hope that tea offer you dont mind sharing with a teen like myself?'' She said and momo felt happy, sadly her guard dropped and she started whining as the fast fingers of her lady started pulling on her ear and dragging her away from the dragon.
''L-lady Siabel!'' the human whined as her ear really started to hurt, her lady not even noticing the other dragons in the shop as she leaned to whisper. '' You keep you self safe and close to my side I do not want to go get another pet.'' Momo managed to whisper a low aww before her ear was let go and she rubbed it.
She turned her head to the other dragons and just gave a apologetic nod. '' I am still trying to train her to behave.'' Her lady explained, before she took her pet by hand, making momo smirk wide. Like someone knowing exactly what the other was thinking but not saying.
''I didnt bring any leash. '' Siabel said to the smirk of her pet, glaring for a moment before going on. '' Shall we leave. We have just little time before the ceremony opening, which I do not want to miss, but a cup of tea will be more then good in the time we do have.''

Myrtle blinked at Chu's reaction but smiled happily as she watched the amazing little earth magic he delivered. Piercing a fish and shifting the rock to her direction. It was quite amazing how he did it so easily. Even the best mages had difficultly creating something like that and focus enough to catch a fish from under the water.

Gingerly, she removed the fish from the earth spike before gingerly sitting beside Chu. Eagerly listening about the information about the ceremony. "Can anyone take the aging ceremony?" she asked curiously.

Aster had watched them a bit calmly before blushing scarlet as the earth dragon moved a strand of hair behind his ear. Swearing he could feel the heat from Chu's hand. Or that was his face, he wasn't truly positive. "A-A-Am n-not!" he weakly stuttered a denial, but his two companions had already went off to sit before he managed to utter out a coherent message.

Grumbling, he rubbed his face a little in a attempt to did himself of the cursed blush before going over and sitting down next to Myrtle. Gingerly swiping the fish by the tail and lifting it in front of his face. Breathing in before blowing a small red hot flame over the fish, cooking it to human comfort. Before stopping and switching to a more cooling breathe to human temperature. After he was done, he handed the fish back to. Myrtle before glancing toward Chu.

"A little bit. She was pretty excited to watch since this is the first time attending the festival." he answered, glancing to the human girl who had snuck a ride.

A human pet was one thing, but anyone could tell this one was no shape or form a pet or slave. Too stubborn and free spirited. So it made him worry if she was discovered. She was a human who created weird human machines, flying or other weird gadgets like her boots that could make her fly. Dragons would probably think she could create deadly weapons that could pierce their scales. So they wouldn't be so forgiving with a human like her here.

"Mister Chu, do you remember how you did when you were a baby?" Myrtle asked curiously.

Damia

The two headed dragon looked curiously to the ice dragons creations before looking back to the crystal dragon as she made a dragon lily and put it around one of her necks. The left head smiled happily and nodded a little. "Thank you very much, I apologize for the trouble, I really never meant to eat her. It's just hard to control the dark side of you." she said softly.

"But only multi-headed dragons can understand. Others laugh or react like that dragon." the right head snorted nodding off toward where Vesperia went. They were all the same, reacting in a bad way to the bad part of oneself, ignoring the rest of her. Like she would do any better if she had the same problem. If she could control any of her bad qualities or bad thoughts that many managed to zip their mouth up.

They never understand.

The left head sighed a little at the right head. "I envy one headed dragons." she said before looking toward the human who his behind the only male here as another dragon arrived. Growling to the human for misbehaving before apologizing to them for losing her. Seeing that Momo was really a pet, the right head snorted before the emerald scaled dragon slithered closer to the older dragons.

"Apologises, I'm afraid I was one of the ones who scared your little pet with mere curiousity." the left head said, careful with her words.

"Otherwords asking if I can eat her." The right head said bluntly, hissing as a emerald tail flicked against it.

Looking to the human, Damia flicked her snake like tongues out curiously before smiling. "I really am curious of humans, like what you do or fun.. Or something. But as a apology for my... Um... What's the human term? Oh yes! My devil side, have a gift of my own." the left head said before taking a deep breath before breathing out a sparkling green mist.

It smelled relaxing and calming, a pleasant smell to any species. Before some of the sparkles from the mist formed together to form a beautiful flower into the humans hands.

Winter turned to the two headed dragon and saw the lily. The artist in her was awestruck. "Oh how lovely miss!" She exclaimed. She offered the Everice hatchling to it after breathing another layer of Everice over it. "Would you like it? I can always make more." She offered. Then she had an idea. She created a giant snowball about four feet above ground and about three feet tall and carefully etched details into it. Soon it began to resemble something. a few minutes later, you could clearly see it was a two headed dragon. Winter concentrated until every detail, right down to the eyeridges above the eyes were perfect.

She then blew over it heavily, creating an icy glaze harder than diamonds. Winter tapped it with a figernail, testing it. The ice figure gave a high pitched vibration that sounded like a bell. Winter grinned. "Finally! The ice wobt break if you drop it!" She let the figurine crash to the floor. Nothing happened except a low pitched sound issued from the dragon and it slid across the floor a few inches. Winter hurred in approval. "Finally. I got that down finally. Now Everice is harder than diamonds and never melts. Brilliant!"
