Revival of the Dragon Riders

Trevor grabbed the reins of his horse and stayed alongside Noble when he could, falling to the back when necessary. He wouldn't let the future king guard the back, even if he was riding a dragon. Duncan and Gnol could lead the way to the dwarves.
Much to his dismay the old dragon let everyone pass and took a place in the rear. Having a dragon close to him didn't mean he had to talk with it, and chose not to.
"Fine with me," Trevor responded to Duncan's question. He didn't mind where they would spend the night, as long as it was a safe place.

Linda leaned into the gentle stroke, but when Ricky stopped she flew up again to sit with Meria so she could great her.
Mikhal nodded to Rai. "Lead the way please," he said before turning to Alan when he asked his question. "Well, first you need one who is curious rather than suspicious or shy towards humans and let them come to you. Then you have to, erm..." he paused as he thought about it. "I don't think I did anything special. I just talked to her and played some music and I was going someplace she wanted to see so she tagged along. How do friendships normally form? But most of her kind will hide away from humans, they are big, destructive and dangerous."

Rachel mounted Fiona when she heard Crreessa say something about floating. She looked to Seb and noticed he was indeed floating. "Everything okay with you?" she asked as he seemed to stare into the distance.

The yellow light faded as Sparky closer her eyes and he looked at Niccia when she thanked him. "I'm glad I could be of assistance," he assured her. "I've had to put Bear to sleep several times too; when he goes into rage there is very little that can calm him again. So this is not the first time I was requested to do something like this by Andy."

Mindy shook her head. "I should be thanking you! How many humans get a chance to witness something special like a gathering of Legendary Pokémon? I'm so looking forward to it! I... I may need to buy new clothes. Niccia! Do you want to go shopping with me?"
There was no way she would go to such a special event in simple day-to-day clothes. Not that she would go all gala with it, but she definitely wanted something more classy than what she wore now.

"I believe you," Bear said. "But Andy is still better!"
"Right," Benny said. "He's the best! A good researcher..."
"Handsome, for a human," Bear added. "He's obviously not a Primeape."
"No-one misses an easy throw to catch a Pokémon as Andy does!" Benny continued.
"Right! Bear said.
"Oh, come now, that only happened once," Kim came to his defence.
"He only caught five Pokémon in his life and four of the five agreed to go with him," Benny reminded her. "Merlin was the only one he caught in the wild during a battle and he missed! It was the funniest thing I ever saw!"

Michael listened to the Pokémon and smiled, contemplating he should tell his uncle how they talked about him or not. Then again, his uncle brought up his 'amazing catch' when he caught Merlin on many occasions himself.

"It is," Andy agreed, glad that Frosiien agreed to leave Michael and Niccia out of the serious talk about Darkrai for now. He heard Mindy talk about shopping and while he had no desire to dress up - people just had to accept him as he was - it would free up Gavin to have a have a talk.

Mike turned to face Steph when she greeted him and asked him if they could talk; and instantly, although it wasn't a conscious decision, he stepped back to create more distance between them. "Yeah, sure," he said, "we can talk. About what?"
He was guarded and his mind raced to go over the options. Was she tired of Ben and wanted to move on to the next target? Did Ben talk about their argument and did she consider him a threat? Or was it something completely different? Holding the book against his body with one arm, Mike moved his other hand to his pocket where he kept the charm Stuart had given him; a small, clay plate with a ruby in the center and runes etched on it. It would enable him to cast a defensive spell against demons.

Benjamin had returned to his room and started reading the first file. He had to check the information and decide, based on his experience, whether or not ghosts could have been involved in these unsolved cases. It was unlikely, but he would read them through nonetheless.

---

Mr. Johnson looked at the man in front of him. This talk off shadows was intriguing, but also sounded dangerous.
"And what kind of help are they expecting from me?" he said, carefully avoiding accepting or declining anything until he was certain either option was the right one, and for that he needed to know all the facts first.

---

Morrison nodded. "We'll inform the boss we have fallen angels then." He secured Carl in the seat. "He can decide if we leave them or take care of them." Fallen angels cases didn't always end in hunting and exterminating; it depended whether or not the angels were able to adjust to living in human society, or caused them harm.
"And if we have to deal with them," he added as he looked to Jase, "maybe you and I can hunt them down. And we'll take Ethan along. The kid has potential."

I may not make her feel good about herself with what I'm about to post either :(

Seeing Arceus? Michael felt a jab of nervousness. Would Arceus be there. Would he... approve of him with Niccia? He forced a smile on his face. "I look forward to it." It wasn't a lie, he really did look forward to witnessing Starfall, but he was less enthusiastic about meeting the Pokémon who, according to legend, had created everything.

"You can bring your human," Bear said to Dausiin. "But your human won't be able to beat Andy!"
"I don't think they will have a competition," Lytse carefully interjected.
"They will compare their humans and Frosiien will have the best one with her. I mean, he is my trainer and one has to be an awesome trainer to be mine." Bear rose his chin in the air as he said that.

"I read some research about them," Andy commented. "If that will be the case we will face some tough battles ahead." He glanced at Michael and Niccia. "Best not let the young ones know; Michael is still a bit shaken by almost being abducted by Darkrai for the second time, and Niccia... I don't want her to worry about that now. We could talk about it with Gavin, once we can tear him away from the girl he fancies."
Of course he knew Mew was older than him, but if her mind was still innocent and youthful it didn't matter how long she had lived.

Suddenly Andy heard excited sounds and noticed Sparky had let herself out. He frowned at her; he didn't know what she said, but she wasn't supposed to be outside. It was too early; they still had to figure out a plan. "Merlin," he said.
"Understood," the Noctowl replied and he flew up, landing in front of Sparkys two wingbeats later and locked eyes with her. Without warning his eyes turned yellow, using his hypnosis to let her sleep so she could be returned again.

Benjamin watched how Dia was removed from the cell and the guards were about to close the door. "Wait," he said quickly, "the deal was that if I'd take my medicine, I would be allowed to leave, right?"
"That is true."
"I'll take them now, give them."
The guards looked at each other and nodded; something of Josh's words about compassion and fear and loneliness had lingered and they decided that since that was the deal they would allow him to leave this cell, if he'd take his medicine.
"If you stay calm and take them, you are free to go."
Benjamin held out his hand and received a cup with a powder that they quickly dissolved with water. WIthout a second thought he drank it and ran out of the cell.

Tiffany looked at Dia with a strict look. "We sometimes have to force medicine on patients or put them in a safe place. We don't want that, but sometimes it's for the safety of other patients. And I don't know what a memopath is, but-" Something collided with her and she fell to the ground.

After tackling the guard who held Dia, who fell against Tiffany, Benjamin grabbed Dia and helped her up. "Run," he instructed her.

"I'm glad you're enjoying it," Marc said as he too cut a piece from the pie with his fork and brought it to his mouth. "We can come here as often as you like," he said. And of course as often as the psychiatrist would let her leave, but he didn't want to say those words out loud. "I was planning on staying here for an hour or so, read the newspaper, browse the books, and then go to a place to eat. What do you think?"

Mindy looked from Gavin to Niccia. Welcomed by legendaries as a human? How many were there?
"And I'll be there too," Michael added. "By the looks of it uncle Andy too, so you won't be the only human there.
"That's true," Mindy said and she turned to Gavin. "I'd love to come," she told him with a broad smile. "I'm honoured you invited me for such an amazing event.

Michael moved to take Niccia's hand as he looked to her. It were moments like these he could forget, for a moment, all the serious and dangerous things that had happened so far. Going to Starfall was something to look forward to and he was so glad Niccia had crossed his path.

Andy listened to Frosiien and nodded, followed by a shrug. "In this case I don't think Marshadow was more left out than any of the other legendaries, unless Darkrai spread the word too. Right now only the legendary Pokémon we met know it happened." He looked down to the keystone. "Which means we are going to have a big reveal at the party, Varina. Do you want to tell them or shall I?"

Kim had a small smile on her snout. "Thanks," she said to Soul and then turned to Benny when he left. "Did things go well at the gym?"
Benny started an enthusiastic and lengthy explanation of the battles and how Michael and Niccia had done; Kim listened to it with her tail wrapped around her body.

Strange Arrivals (A ZAVAZggg & Calle Roleplay)

The walk to the store would be a short one, but Andy still welcomed the conversation. "Welcome to the club," he stated. "I forgot to eat lunch on several occasions, especially when the emergency department was very busy. I've also had times I was so immersed in work or gaming at home that it was closer to midnight than dinner time when I realised I hadn't eaten yet." He glanced to the side. "At least you had a good breakfast and I doubt your body has any underlying health issues, so you'll be fine with skipping a meal, unlike me. Humans can potentially last up to three weeks without food, although it's generally not advised to do that, but we will only last three days without drinking, so keep that in mind."

Truthfully, Andy didn't even know whether or not Alastor was interested in these facts about the human body or maybe he had read about it already, but it Andy considered it important enough to mention anyway.

He gestured to the door of the small supermarket to let Alastor know that was where they were going. A few people left with full bags and an old lady entered the store. The shopping carts were inside, close to the automatic gates that would give entrance to the store.

Benjamin watched Steph leave. Why was she sorry for being like that? He had seen the changes in her body language; her posture, the way she held her head, the movements of her tail, the way she turned away from him before speaking. It looked to him she was affected more by this than she wanted to admit. He thought about her as he walked back to the mansion too.

---

An agent walked through the corridor when he noticed Steph. "He may not be in his room," he said when he noticed she had knocked on the door. "The last place I saw him was in the library." After he passed her he muttered under his breath: "What does that demon even want from him?"

Mike was in the library, walking between the bookcases as he scanned the titles of the books.

---

Mr. Johnson looked at his guest; apparently he had guessed his true motive. But he didn't have proof of that, so he wouldn't freely admit that. Not yet anyway.
He narrowed his eyes at the mention of the whispers. "What whispers?" he asked. While there was a possibility this man was just insane, suffering from auditory hallucinations or voices in their head. However, he had seen enough paranormal things to keep an open mind, and the way this man spoke didn't give him the idea this man was insane.

---

"So, they are fallen angels then?" Morrison asked as he continued to the car. He unlocked the door and gestured to Jase to open the door at the passenger side. They would have to lower the back of the seat so Carl could lie back and they could properly secure him there, which wasn't the case on the backseat.

Mindy looked from Michael to Niccia. "That sounds amazing," she said, but when she noticed Gavin walking towards her she turned her head to look at him.

Andy grinned. "I say that is a great idea. I'd love to go on a date with you." The grin faded into a more modest smile. "It doesn't even have to be Starfall, but I definitely want to go there with you as well."
It looked like he had the opportunity to still go to Starfall and he was glad about that, but she could have offered to go to a dumpsite because she was curious to see how humans handled their waste and he'd still happily go with her.

Kim blinked when Soul said she was Guardian material and pressed his nose against her. When he called her the Guardian of Andy she put her paws on her cheeks and shook her head. "Oh no, no, no, I'm no Guardian. The others are much stronger than me and Benny has been with him since the beginning!"
"But you take good care of all of us," Benny interjected as he landed next to her. "And I've seen you fight to protect Andy." He had a happy look on his face. "If there would be vote you'd definitely get mine!"
Kim sat on the ground, her long tail wrapped around her. "T-thanks..."

Merlin flew overhead, taking in the situation, and landed next to Andy. He nodded to Frossien as a greeting. "I learned about your true identity," he told her. "It's an honour to meet you. And the situation has been dealt with; a Marshadow didn't know about Varina's change of sides. I request you translate that for Andy too."
