The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

A Parting of the Ways

Stripetail sighed. "I have something important to tell you Eva, but it will have to wait until you are done eating. It involves the Red Dragons.."

"the Red dragons have made me an offer. They believe that you are the reincarnation of an ancient and very powerful red Dragoness called Evalicator. They want me to train you in the ways of the Red Dragons. In return, the relationship between the Wizzin and the Red Dragons will improve, if I am successful. " A look of shock appeared on eva's face, shock mixed with wonderment.

"Could that explain in the interest of Red Dragons that I had since during first year?" Eva wondered. "For some reason Stripetail... not to be rude, I felt more connected to them when reading on their history and anything else about them" Eva said to him.

You felt more connected to thier history than the history of magic? understandable. The Red Dragons are a fascinating topic. A little background, Courtesy of Nosovar: They are classed in the Order of Colored Dragons, and they are second only to Rose Dragons in rank and power. both the Red and Rose Dragons kept themselves very much away from the other Colored Dragons, only appearing when a meeting of Dragon leaders was held. This was even before the split between the Wizzin and Red Dragons. From what Nosovar has told me, The Rose Dragons were quite friendly to the wizzin, although the bond was not as close between us and them as the bond between us and the Red Dragons. After the split between the Red Dragons and the Wizzin, the Rose Dragons laid down an ultimatum. Resolve your differences, or we're leaving. Nothing was done so they left. Hence why today there are no Rose Dragons in this dimension.They are waiting for the Wizzin and red dragons to make up. so Nosovar has told me" Stripetail said . Nosovar was the eldest of the Wizzin, he was several billion years old, and had seen many many things over the ages. "I have told him about you and he  will be coming over soon to talk with you. "

"Wow... so when would he show up?" Eva looked stunned by hearing this

Very soon. " Stripetail replied. " I forgot that you have never met Nosovar. He's quite reserved, but he would know more than any other Wizzin about the Red Dragons. The events that damaged our relations so badly, happened more than a million years ago, when I was very young. Nosovar was at the time the second -ranking Wizzin, like he is now, behind only the Master Wizzin Stavantus.Stavantus disappeared after some of the Wizzin tried to steal the powers of the Red Dragons. They failed, and were destroyed as a result. Stavantus's disappearance further weakened the Wizzin, in the eyes of the Red Dragons.." Stripetail continued.

"I heard about something like that about the wizzins and red dragons being parted like that cause of a few wizzins going for power" Eva said to Stripetail then continues "Oh Stripetail I figured out how to us this ruby. Last time I used it to change forms then turn back to normal" Eva pulled out the ruby from her pocket. "Would you like me to show you?" Eva asked

So that is what was in the letter, instructions on how to change form. The ruby came with it I presume." A smile broke out over Stripetail's face as he produced his own gem. "Then my form will not surprise you. Very well, It is time we were off...Get your things together Eva, we will not leave the place we are headed to for several weeks, until you have grasped at least some of the basics of being a Red Dragon."

aS he was s[peaking, an elderly voice spoke out. "Good morning brother, Miss Eva" Stripetail turned and stopped. an elderly robed figure stood in the doorway. It was Nosovar.

'the latter not telling me how to do change forms, it just a bit personally' Eva thought to herself. Then Eva look at Nosovar "Hello sir" Eva spoke not sure who he was cause of never seeing him.

Nosovar smiled."I am Nosovar of the Wizzin. My brother Stripetail asked me to come talk with you about the Red Dragons. I'm the oldest of the Wizzin, so I can remember long stretches of our relationship with them. " Nosovr went into the room and sat down on a sofa. "Please sit where you like, and I'll begin."

Eva nods and takes a seat but as she was about to she felt something about the letter taking it out quickly looking at the words change into a new sentence from Nova. She smiled a little then put it away not letting anyone else get a chance to see it then seats down ready to listen.

It changed, didn't it?' Nosovar smiled faintly. "I can sense even very faint magical changes, it's  a gift I have Miss Eva. Your friend is the son of a great Red Dragon,one of the few who has remained freindly to us over the years. If my Lord is successful with this test, that will change."
_ A TEST?' Stripetail said incredoulously. "I'm going through all this trouble for a darned TEST? does that mean that.." "Yes, Blackstar is not evil, far from it in fact. This is the first such test administered in several million years, I remember several such tests in the past. Most tested young Red Dragons,in thier strength compassion and valor. This I believe is the first test of Wizzin in hundreds of millions of years.There are several Red Dragons who do not want this test administered however, and the only way to change thier minds to is complete the test, and bring out Miss Eva's inner powers. Nosovar replied. "which are formidable." He smiled at eva.

"Are you saying that I still got a great deal more power within me that not even been awaken?" Eva aske with wonder after hearing about this and this test that Stripetail has to do when the time comes.

Yes." Nosovar replied. "It will only come out under dire stress however, if your life is in danger for example. And only someone with great power and skill can properly train you in how to control your untapped power. Of the Wizzin, only Stripetail is strong enough to do it now, he was fortunate( in a sense) not to be Wizzin when Evalicator punished us. The three Wizzin responsible for this mess. basilor, Terator, and Dwayne, were young, headstrong, and arrogant. They were among our weaker members though, and they attempted to steal the powers of the Red Dragons, in order to increase thier powers, and rise to the level of the older Wizzin. Which was exrtremely stupid, for severall reasons but I will only mention two, First, it destroyed a long-standing and important relationship, secondly, it was unnecessary;had they simply waited and gained experience, they would have reached our level eventually anyway. They were not destroyed as legend has said,however, they were imprisoned in Calicate Manor, an inscapable prison for the worst offenders against the Colored Dragons. There they most likely remain, older, weaker, and hopefully wiser for all the trouble they caused." Nosovar said.

Somewhere in someplace unknown a figure watches in the darkness no one aware of this being not even the almighty powerful beings that watch over the universe. "From the darkness I shall come and death will become all motal and immotal, they are one and the same and shall die in pearily as I rise from the darkness. The first immortal to die will be Nosovar, alliances will not be rejoined by that of Red and Wizzin" the figure raise up a doll of some sort looking like Nosovar then using a claw finger touch the chest.

"Slowly you will die, your immortal will drain and all of your life energy will belong to me such as the first and many other wizzins and reds to fall under my power. Including one of your creators in one part of the universe." the figure spoke in the darkness calm and collected.

"Only one that seem to be untouch of my power, who is this girl... what power has she got that no other even the creators have. She is beyond the wizzins and red and Creators. Why is the question that I must find a answer to" the figure touch the doll again and see Nosovar flinch in pain something attacking him from the inside. "Nosovar life force is dying. no one will find out how my powers beyond wizzins and red... wait she senses..." the image fades to nothing as he stood there in the darkiness

"What is she, why is she able to sense the attack? Is she the light of hope? questions will be answered in time but Nosovar has none left by 2 circles he will be gone from life and spirit." the figure disappears into the darkiness.

--------------

Eva was looking around as Stripetail got to Nosovar seeing him fall in pain. "What was that?" Eva was still looking around as Stripetail wasn't even aware of something was watching them and striked a blow at Nosovar, somehow a being that was able to be hidden from Stripetail's senses.

(immortals cannot be killed Threehorn, hence why it is called immortality. this new figure is much too powerful, if you are going to use such a figure, then weaken it considerably. It can harm Nosovar, but it cannot kill him.)
Nosovar slowly climbed to his feet, the internal pain receding. "One who tries to prevent the alliance of Red Dragon and Wizzin from recovering has attacked me. As an immortal, I cannot be killed, but given my age such a blow as I have recieved will take some time to recover from. Miss Eva sensed this attack didn't you?" He looked at Eva, and Stripetail. "My Lord, you have not met this creature, his name is carron. He is a great evil that can destroy systems and corrupt the weak and foolish. His power is immense, and only by completing the test and bringing back the alliance can he be destroyed, again. Many ages ago, he tried to take over the cosmos, but thanks to the alliance between us and the Colored Dragons, we were able to defeat him and lock him away inside a wormhole. He apparenyly has come back.
