[IC] Magic RP (Open to new players)

[MarshiestMallow]

Nyx nodded, and used the gate stone, quickly taking one last look at the crater filled village

[Aristocles]

They arrived back at Toby's cave and as soon as they did, Larek immediately went over to one of the rugs Toby had gotten and lay down. He looked up at his wife. "I'm feeling a bit better but I'm gonna be really sore tomorrow... my head hurts now, too..."

[MarshiestMallow]

Nyx put the gate stone away, to have her hands free, "When we get home, I can make something that should lesson the head pain" She said

[Aristocles]

"Thanks, but I think we'll be here for a while. I don't want to travel until I'm a bit less tired. And Toby hasn't gotten back yet, or Lixia, for that matter..." Larek replied.

[MarshiestMallow]

Nyx nodded, looking out the mouth of the cave "I hope they are okay"

[Aristocles]

Toby and Lixia flew into the cave a few minutes later. The red dragon collapsed near Larek, lying on a larger mat.

"Hey, Toby" Larek said, putting his hand on the dragon's side.

"Hey" came the soft reply. Lixia trotted over to Toby and nuzzled him.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Are you both okay, or will be okay?" Nyx asked

[Aristocles]

Toby moaned. "I'll be fine, but my wing and foot... I'll be out of action for a day or two."

"Don't worry, I'm here for you" Lixia assured him.

[MarshiestMallow]

"So, apart from that mage being a child, what was that orb?" Nyx asked

[Aristocles]

"Heh. He wasn't a child, even though he acted like one" Larek reminded her. "He was a spoiled rich idiot who just happened to have magical powers and artifacts, most likely from a relative of his. As for that crystal, I don't really know. I've heard of such strange lights coming from the void between this plane and others, but I don't know about the gem itself."

[MarshiestMallow]

"How is it possible to bring something from another realm?" Nyx asked with a frown

[Aristocles]

"High-powered magic" Larek replied. "My mother can do similar things, but she'd never use that power to harm innocent towns."

[MarshiestMallow]

"I hope the people are all okay" Nyx said, sighing and sitting down

[Aristocles]

"We need to worry about ourselves first" Lixia said, sitting down. "Larek and Toby need time to recover."

[MarshiestMallow]

"I know" Nyx said "but I still can't help to think about them. There isn't exactly much I can do for either Larek or Toby right now"

[Aristocles]

"Just being with me helps a great deal" Larek assured Nyx.

[MarshiestMallow]

Nyx smiled slightly "well okay then"

[Aristocles]

Toby looked up at the dracons and sighed. "I think Lixia told you that I may be developing oracular powers as I grow. It means I can see cause and effect at times. Not every day, but in my dreams. Like a vision. I can't see the absolute and immutable future, mostly. It's more like a possible or probable future."

[MarshiestMallow]

"You shouldn't have gone off on your own" Nyx said looking over "you could have been killed!"

[Aristocles]

"I thought I could handle it. I am a dragon, after all" Toby explained.

"Not fully grown yet" Lixia admonished. Toby sighed and replied to Lixia. "When I'm fully-grown, I'll be not much smaller than this cave, while you'll be far, far smaller than I am."

Larek stood up, uneasily. "I can understand wanting to help, but if you find it was too much for you, you should have sought help."

Toby growled a bit. "I can't depend on your parents for the rest of my millennia-long life, you know."

"True, but we can help make sure you live to get that long" Larek replied, knowing that after the first century or two, dragons were very hard to kill.
