2500 degrees." Stripetail guessed.

"Close but it close to 3000 degrees" Redstar answered "A standard temputure for this place. in your normal form before you step foot on the bridge to this castle you would of burned to death. No dragon other then red dragons can live here as well. So you see why you had to be a Red Dragon." Redstar said to Stripetail sitting down on a step.

"Funny it doesn't feel that warm." Stripetail grinned. "If I may ask, do you have anything to eat here? Or will we have to go to the surface to eat?

"We are on the surface... this castle sits on top of a volcano" Elder spoke blinking once. "This area of the planet is always hot cause volcano pumps up a lot of lava from the planet core so the heat is always just below 3000 degrees day or night. But if you was to leave the creator rim the temputure will drop to about 100 to 300 degrees" Elder explained to Stripetail about the differences to the inside to the outside.

"As for food, we grow fire fruit in the gardens on top of the castle. the top is about 500 degrees a bit difference to down in the throne room. And the trees can surfvive the heat to 900 degrees so they sit in the perfect place to grow. I will take you to the dinner room that sits on the same level as the garden." Redstar said getting up

Interesting. I will likely have to eat and run though as Eva's classes will end in a couple hours. Or is time measured differently here?"

Threehorn · **Reply #105 on:** February 27, 2007, 06:18:36 PM

"Time roughly the same to your time frame" Redstar said back

Nick22 · **Reply #106 on:** February 27, 2007, 06:22:52 PM

"So I have a couple hours " Stripetail.said Lead the way into the dining room please Redstar" He said formally.

Threehorn · **Reply #107 on:** February 27, 2007, 06:27:43 PM

"Alright this way will take you right there" Redstar opened up a door that look like part of the wall showing a staircase that went up in a spwial style.

Nick22 · **Reply #108 on:** February 27, 2007, 06:30:59 PM

Stripetail began climbing and as he did he noticed a rapid drop in temeperature. The staircase woumd and wound until it finally ended in a platform. Stripetail stepped onto the platform and as he did a door opened in the wall. Inside was a beautiful room, fixed with rock chandeliers and a magnificent view of the lava below.

Threehorn · **Reply #109 on:** February 27, 2007, 06:33:45 PM

"As you can see it a lot cooler here" Redstar smiled as they stepped out of the stair well.

Nick22 · **Reply #110 on:** February 27, 2007, 06:37:56 PM

Yes, my True form would be able to tolerate it in here. So what's on the menu for today? Fire fruit, fire apple, fire pear.. even fire cocnut.. all look good. Stripetail's reached the table and went to work loading his tray. After he was done (He had 2-3 pieces of every fruit" he sat down at a table. "Tell me more about your brother" He said. "What turned him evil?'

Threehorn · **Reply #111 on:** February 27, 2007, 06:47:39 PM

"No one really knows the truth why he turned evil, there is so many stories but no one knows the real answer not even me" Redstar said as he sat down with the fruit on his tray as well.

Nick22 · **Reply #112 on:** February 28, 2007, 02:27:45 PM

"I asked because he was your brother. I thought that you would have intimate knowledge of him that others wouldn't have. Apparently you two weren't very close..." Stripetail replied.

Threehorn · **Reply #113 on:** February 28, 2007, 02:31:07 PM

"We are, but whatever happened to him on the days before he imprisioned those master dragons are still unknown even to me... I was very shocked to see my own brother Blackstar doing such a thing" Redstar spoke taking a piece of fireapple and eating it.

Nick22 · **Reply #114 on:** February 28, 2007, 03:29:24 PM

Stripetail paused. "whatever happened to him before that, it corrupted his soul. Once you do evil, it becomes easier and easier to do it later. He's no longer the brother you once knew, he's amassed immense powers, so immense that he could wipe you all out without much effort. A mere gesture would be enough..or so you tell. I believe though, that he has captured other drahons and is using thier powers, much like Nova uses the powers of the Master dragons. I have no proof of this of course, and you have told me that there were no other Master Dragons, at least that you know of.

Threehorn · **Reply #115 on:** February 28, 2007, 03:56:20 PM

"If that the case of evilness... then it strange cause when he came right at me he was about to destory me but something stopped him then vanished leaving all three master dragon cards on the floor, something about them stopped him and something about me stopped him as well... maybe he still remember who I am somewhere in there" Redstar said with some thought to it

Nick22 · **Reply #116 on:** February 28, 2007, 04:06:21 PM

there is still good in him, brought out perhaps by remembering his own brother. that and mercy stayed his claw, perhaps pity as well. Who can say?'

Threehorn · **Reply #117 on:** February 28, 2007, 04:11:24 PM

"Yes, I hope that is true after all these years." Redclaw sat back and eat some more fruit.

Nick22 · **Reply #118 on:** February 28, 2007, 04:25:11 PM

One can only hope... But youi also have to be prepared for the worst. Great evil cannot be completely undone, all you can do is heal as best you can. I've learned that the hard way Redstar..." Stripetail's voice became a whisper. "There are things that even I cannot undo." There was a look on Stripetail's face, a look of sadness, that REdstar had not seen before. "I hope that you are more sucessful with Blackstar...and that by confronting him , you do not have to sacrifice someone very dear to you..."

Threehorn · **Reply #119 on:** February 28, 2007, 06:05:10 PM

"Indeed I hope there is a way to get through but if needed I guess I have to do what has to be done" Redstar said with a slient look taking a little bit more food eating it then taking a drink.
