I see. Forgive me for asking a personal question, but --How do you feel about his Lordship?' Tristan asked quietly. "I get the sense he is very fond of you, and well, I care for you myself.." He blushed slightly.

"I do not know what to say at this time... things begin to conflict with stuff and I am not ready to answer that question" Eva said to Tristan

Nick22 · **Reply #202 on:** March 20, 2007, 03:44:22 PM

"I understand... you're not ready to answer..." Tristan replied.
_
Stripetail said nothing more about his feelings, then changed the subject..."How is trin, the minister? Is he well?"

Threehorn · **Reply #203 on:** March 20, 2007, 04:08:43 PM

"Yes he is, Trin doing well and still working hard being the minister" Wayne said to Stripetail with a smile on his face.

Nick22 · **Reply #204 on:** March 20, 2007, 05:42:27 PM

He still doesn't think much of me, I take it? He never has...." Stripetail replied with a wry smile..

Threehorn · **Reply #205 on:** March 21, 2007, 04:45:34 AM

"Well I guess he still don't like you much but he'd put up with you being around" Wayne chuckled "Trin lately been on the soft side of things being nice for a chance and he told me that he'd had enough of being called Mr Grumpy all the time" Wayne told Stripetail

Nick22 · **Reply #206 on:** March 21, 2007, 01:54:49 PM

I'll believe that when I see it... " Stripetail replied. How old is he now?'
_
'102 years of age" said a female voice from the doorway. "Wayne, the Minister wishes to see you. A female Dinoton stepped into the the room. Stripetail had not seen her before, She was only slightly smaller than Wayne, and she carried herself in a military manner. "Forgive my intrusion. I overheard you as I came in..." Stripetail turned and looked at her. This must be Cesha.

Threehorn · **Reply #207 on:** March 21, 2007, 04:19:42 PM

"Alright thanks Cesha. Well I better be going" Wayne shook Stripetail's hand and leaves.

Nick22 · **Reply #208 on:** March 21, 2007, 06:14:50 PM

I'll be with you shortly wayne. I wish to talk with your friend here" Cesha said in a formal tone, looking at Stripetail.

Threehorn · **Reply #209 on:** March 21, 2007, 06:17:22 PM

"A Dragon Lord... a Dragon of a world of humaniod dinosaurs, this will be interesting" Blackstar smirked from where he sat looking at a image seeing throw a very tiny ruby that was no bigger then a cell can't be seen by eyes and cause of being ruby magic unable to detect or sense something such as it. "Now lets hear what Cesha has to say"

Nick22 · **Reply #210 on:** March 21, 2007, 06:38:04 PM

Cesha stood and looked at stripetail, Stripetail had the sense she was sizing him up. "At last, I finally meet the great Lord Stripetail" There was a slight sneer as she said it. "Wayne has said a lot about you, most of what he said about is embellishment, it's impossible to do a quarter of the things he's said you've done."
_
"Wayne was not exagerating." Stripetail replied. "I'm immortal Cesha, I can't die, even if I wanted to. I can do things that others can't" Cesha's eyes glowed. "humility isn't one of your strong points. By the way,You do realize that we are being watched?" Stripetail's eyes flashed. "I am not Dirah, she was a weak-minded simpleton who rejected the opportunity of a lifetime. They had to bring me in at the last moment. " Cesha said. "Are you finished critiquing everything? You are very young and dare I say, arrogant. Have you no respect for your elders?'
_ why should I respect you? You're an ancient relic, clinging to an archacic and declining art, we don't need magic in Dinoton, we've outgrown that." Cesha snapped. Stripetail finally had enough. He gestured and cesha was lifted off her feet "Know your place in the cosmos young Dinoton!" His voice was steely and harsh. "Yes, Magic is weakening, but if I have my way, that will soon no longer be the case!. Dirah at least respected and trusted me, whatever her other faults were, and she was very flawed. I'll let you down, but only if you apologize". Cesha frowned, then relented. "I'm sorry' she said finally. "Please let me down."
_ Done Stripetail said, and he returned Cesha to the ground.

"Being watched... so you know there is something there, oh I see" Blackstar saw it and it was some sort of magical crystal that was listening in. "No one listen in on him but me" Blackstar's eyes flashed "that should take reveal it for little Stripetail then tonight the real fun begins and he won't know what hit him untill morning and then it will be too late" Blackstar stood up from his chair closing the viewing window and walk into a green forest from within a cave. "Unknown to little Stripetail I didn't destory his favioute little world, I just moved it and put my litte dead planet with the same mass in its place that I converted into ruby."

Blackstar then stops turning to the cave "No one knows what I am really up to and not even sure if it really evil or good, but it will show in time and when it does... they really in for a big surprise" Blackstar grinned "It all part of the game and this game will have a really surprising end to it" Blackstar the red dragon walks into the forest of Stripetail's favoiute get away world even Stripetail unaware that it was perfectly fine and the people of the planet told by Blackstar his ture reasons and some reason that agree to not to call for help or revivle the planet is fine.

"So Dragon, you have told us your reasons for being here and moving our planet.' A chieftain of the planet said to ghim as he made his way out of the cave. "But you will not harm anyone while on this planet. " He added coldly. "Whether or not you have been telling us the truth, will be revealed by the Eternal One. But if you harm anyone, or try, you will pay a heavy price. "

Threehorn · **Reply #213 on:** March 26, 2007, 02:41:17 PM

"I might seem evil and dark but when it comes to telling the truth I never lie about anything. that is the curse of a red dragon, never able to lie how ever twisted you seem to be" Blackstar told the chieftain. "So when I say I won't harm you or anyone, that is the truth and a promise and the true reasons I explained to you is what is truth" Blackstar turned around at him.

Nick22 · **Reply #214 on:** March 26, 2007, 02:52:28 PM

You will not harm anyone elsewhere while on here as well" The chieftain replied. "That includes our wizard friend, whatever quabbles you have with his Lordship, you should settle them elsewhere...He has been a generous patron of this planet for thousands of years, and we in turn are very fond of him... "

Threehorn · **Reply #215 on:** March 26, 2007, 04:36:41 PM

"I know, but what to come has to remain hidden, the game I play a game with him and see if he passes my tests, I won't harm him but I will change his form as part of this test, I can't say what it is, it might be a game you see I am playing but my ways have their understanding and the test is to see what happens between him and all those around him... soon his dearest pupil will depart and then the test will be either complete or failed. this is a time taking process and since he a wizzin this test has to be done and I will keep my little shadow going to his point of view." Blackstar explained to him and was seriours in tone.

"the two other dead worlds will move in points that are favioute to Stripetail and move them to a safe location like this one out of his range of sensing. He needs to see beyond the power of magic to be trusted by all creations, this test will show the true meaning and it not as it seem at this time" Blackstar finished telling him.

"Red Dragons a long time ago trusted magic but when wizzins stole our magic before Stripetail became a young wizzin, this trust between the Red Dragons and Wizzins was broken and we turn to using a form of energy that not even magic." Blackstar paused then started again. "I sealed three dragons in cards that are part of our kinds history the powerful dragons of all red dragons know of, I sealed them cause they demanded that I do it and play this part, I might look evil to my brother but infact I would never truly harm anyone" Blackstar said to him finishing explaining the whole thing.

Nick22 · **Reply #216 on:** March 26, 2007, 04:49:25 PM

So your test is to see if he has the capacity to move beyond magic and be open to other ways..' The Cheiftain replied..."From a personal standpint.. I would say he does... a hundred years ago I would not have foreseen his taking an apprentice, and yet he has... and trained her well... from the accounts I have heard... Very interesting.. You will find that there is far more to his lordship than you suspect....He is not like those foolish Wizzin who destroyed the cooperation between Wizzin and Red Dragon, rather He will try everything he can to repair that damage... and to bring the wizzin back into the good graces of your kind..." The Chieftain said...

Threehorn · **Reply #217 on:** March 26, 2007, 04:58:50 PM

Blackstar look at him "then he has to see through what the true purpose of the crystal like worlds that I will form. If he don't then he fails right away if he does see the true purpose and move ahead to the next part of the test, it in 3 phases and the hardest is the first and last phase. second is made easy to see if he sees beyond why it was getting easy" Blackstar finished telling him.

Nick22 · **Reply #218 on:** March 26, 2007, 05:06:42 PM

And what is the purpose of those worlds.. to free the imprisoned Master Dragons?' The Chieftain said. 'You can tell me... It's not like I 'm going to explian anything to him.. we are outside of his sensing.."
_
cesha sat down on a nearby sofa. "Forgive my harsh demeanor" Stripetail said. "I;m just not in a good mood.' Cesha looked at him. "First impressions are important"
"Yes they are Stripetail. But Eva must go her own way... no matter how much you care for her" She said.

Threehorn · **Reply #219 on:** March 26, 2007, 05:27:41 PM

"I can free the master Dragons at anytime I wish but only when he complete all three phases in the test. here are the phases... Phase one the three worlds will channel energy but they will create a wave that seem to turn the world before Stripetail's eyes the universe into red dragons but he just seeing a dimension that is only full of red dragon." Blackstar explained to him the first phase "But infact the middle point of all three worlds is a portal to the next phase, the magic and non magical test of completing a set of tasks that invovled saving lives in magical powers and non magical moves. which seem simple and easy, but the final phase is lose a dual to Eva, if he wins he fails, she will be aware of this final phase once Stripetail enters the portal and she'd had to be ready for this and learn the ways of the red dragons the cards the power simple stuff but before the final planet is formed. if she don't then he fails phase 3 if he makes it" Blackstar told him all what going to happen finishing telling the tests.
