"Let me give you a piece of advice before you turn in.." The prophetess replied.. "Hold tightly to your friend, she will need you in the trials to come, there will be joym and sorrow, ending and beginning, and your friendship will be tested time and again..both of you have chosen mortality, you will have to live with that decision, and the weaknesses it brings...but it also provides strengths as well..."

Nova nods and then walks in and into his room "I wonder how much anyone don't know" Nova said to himself sitting down on the bed in wonder.

A dinoton walked up to Stripetail as he head to the Trin "Hello dear sir who might you be" the dinoton that asked was looking much like a longneck type humaniod dinosaur.

*As he introduced himself to Stripetail two dinotons asked by Trin come up towards them about a 5 minute walk away but heading their way.*

"Pleased to meet you.." Stripetail replied.. "I'm here to see the Minister.. he's not well.." Stripetail turned as the two dinotons came up to him.. "Andd what I can I do for you gentlemen?"He asked politely..

Threehorn · **Reply #429 on:** June 21, 2007, 01:45:09 PM

"Trin is waiting for you, please come with us" one spoke and they turned around. Stripetail look back and saw Longspark heading to the Space Dock.

"Farewell"Longspark" Stripetail called out quickly.. as he turned and headed towards TRin's residence..
_ Stripetail entered the residence, and stopped at Trin's appearance. He was,ashen-faced, pale, and his body tremembled "It's gotten worse since i've last seen you...' trin whispered. "Its only a matter of time now.."
_
" I promised to extend your life by 30 years, and I will.." "The diasease is now rampaging through my body, I won't live 30 more years, wizard, not even if you cure me.. the disaese is too advanced.. they ran a simulation on how long I could live with Level 1 magic, I lasted 12 years then the disease came back...17-19 if you include Wayne's little potion..." trin said. "By the way.. I've decided to name my sucessor instead of holding an election...My Sucessor will Be Admiral Nantok, Cesha's father."

one of the dinotons look out of the window hearing some speak loudly then saw it in the sky "my word what is that..." the dinoton assigned to Trin said looking at the sky a dome of lightning formed then faded and where there was clouds now was a blue sky. "Lord Stripetail something strange is happening outside" As he said it the dome formed again in another place with lightning sparking around then a bolt goes through everything in the way but passing through like a ghost not harming anything.

Then it lands in the room where they was and formed into a shape of a dragon the lightning dimming to nothing showing a bluish, yellow and blackish dragon look like lightning pattered. "Who are you and what do you want!?" the dinoton raise his weapon then the lightning pattern dragon raise his claw hand at him and the gun was gone in a flash of lightning.

"I will only speak to the one named Trin. All leave" the voice sounded female then look to Stripetail "Including you being of magic. Do not try to figure out what or who or even answer the unknown in your mind you will not figure it out. Now leave the room with all part from the one named Trin" the eyes was blue with black slits staring at Stripetail and the others.

Nick22 · **Reply #432 on:** June 21, 2007, 06:13:22 PM

(Stripetail is alone with the minister)
"I will not leave' Stripetail said sternly. "I have business with the minister as well. I don't know who you are, nor do I care..." He looked at the dragon intently..
_
"The wizard stays" trin said, mustering what energy he could.. "I don't know who you are dragon.. but state your business.. and quickly.. my illness limits my strength.." he said looking at the dragon... the dragon looked at the two of them, but made no movement.

Threehorn · **Reply #433 on:** June 21, 2007, 06:44:56 PM

"I am here to speak to only the one named Trin. You are required to leave being of magic" the dragon repeated to them not moving a muscle staring at them "this is a matter for the hearing to the one named Trin. No other living being may hear these words" The dragon spoke once more "your business will wait being of magic."

Nick22 · **Reply #434 on:** June 21, 2007, 06:53:55 PM

"My business... dragon ...is healing him of his injuries. " stripetail replied tensely..."But as a show of good faith I will leave, I will return in 10 minutes. Stripetail said heading for the door... 'But know this dragon, if you harm him in the slightest you will regret it" Stripetail's staff glowed brightly for a moment.."And i don't make idle threats.."The dragon caught his eyes for a brief moment...then Stripetail turned and left the room. The door shut behind him and Trin was alone with the dragon.
_
"He will do it too dragon, i have seen him in action a few times" Trin replied. "But i believe that you have not come to harm me...but to give me advice.. give it then, dragon."

"My place to the one named Trin is not to harm but to offen. the offen is been concerned by many of the highest. The offen will now be spoken but you will have to be heathy to listen" the dragon move it hand over him and the illiness was now in a ball before Trin will listen." the dragon turn to the window a bolt formed out of no where and a image of another dragon but moving through a lot of lightning.

"I am not by name but heard as the dragons of Lightning. We live in myths of many races but many do not know what we really look like. I am the king. Thecklo and we come from outside your hearing of this part of the universe. I come to you today on this day of all to offen you something that once only so listen and think it over..." Thecklo spoken to Trin.

"This is Leck my last child she come in good faith and I apoglize for sending a being of magic out at this point of healing but this must be heard the dinoton called Trin. We might sound odd but this is how we address beings outside our domain" Thecklo said with a sound voice.

"Here is my offer... listen and think before you act. We have concealed in a meeting over you Trin of the Dinotons, your time of leadership has ended but you done so much for the ones out side the minster building of your world. The offer is to join us, become one of us and be that of a guardian of domains... this has been thought long and hard and now our offer is the time that right to ask. Your illness either way will be removed and you will either..." Thecklo stopped then looked to Leck.

"Be one of the guardian dragons of the domain and protect your friends and this part of the universe for timeless time until you see fit to end it at your free will or live the 30 to 50 more years to the end of your lifespan." Leck said to Trin.

"That is our offer. We believe you will make a well promising dragon of lightning the legendary guardian of balance. the power we hold are untold and unknown to all beings of this galaxy as you call it as we call domain" Thecklo finished speaking wth "We have offered and now your choice is yours, Leck destory the virus" Leck does as she was asked to and destory it with a flash of lightning "your health is high and you may choice freely"

Nick22 · **Reply #436 on:** June 22, 2007, 12:09:49 PM

The illness is for the wizard to remove" Trin replied.."That was our agreement, that I made with him.. 3 days prior.. and it is my wish that he be the one to cure it.. and if you had been watching me for all this time you would know that.. I have also overseen much that I regret, it was under my rule that magic was very nearly extinguished in this dimension.. so as a balance.." there was irony in his voice, that both of them caught.."I'm not nearly as pure as you have made me out to be...far from it in fact.. The wizard is a guardian of this cosmos, he is the Lord of all Wizzin.." Both of them nodded their heads they were clearly already aware of what Stripetail was.. "He has done far more for this cosmos than I have.."
_
"He is immortal, you are not.. that is a big difference"the dragon king replied.."we have made this offer because you have done so much in a short lifespan for countless others, don't argue..' He raised a claw.. "please give us your answer...'
_
I would not know what to do with immortality, to be honest.. my kind doesn't live forever, and being immortal is looked at askance by my people, they care for immortals to be honest.."

Threehorn · **Reply #437 on:** June 22, 2007, 12:38:27 PM

"We've carefully sort it through and even the one being of magic might be a guardian of this galaxy it doesn't change what you had done, with us if you choose to end your role then we will no questions asked and you may return the world you came or live out a life span anywhere you wished. We see you as a promising being to come if you will take our offer, it is sololy up to you the one named Trin" Thecklo spoken to Trin

"Your answer do not need to be right away, if you may we will leave till you choosen what we have to offer. As for your virus once was. It no more and sorry for any inconvinces with what you already aggraned with the being of magic spoken Stripetail. Do we return at a later time or do you wish to choose." Thecklo spoke to Trin.

"this is one that should be taken highest of thoughts this is a once and only time we can offer something like this and only 1 in a trillion may be asked this..." Thecklo told Trin. "But so far you are the only one and only being of every life in this galaxy we have gave to offer. " Thecklo finished speaking to Trin with the seriousiness of the offer now placed up. No one in the whole galxey had been picked part from him, they must see thing in him that more accepting then anyone else.

Befoire Trin could answer the spirit of Evlicator appearee in the room, and she was furious. "Thecklo!' She steamed.. "You have interfered with the examination of the Wizard!" She said angrily. "This one was suppoosed to be healed by the wizard, as part of the examination by my kind.." She said pointing to Trin.. "Now I'm going to finf something else for him to accomplish it. Thanks a lot!"
Trin was surprised, but both Leck and Thecklo were surprised, and looked apologigetic..
'Forgive us Lady Evalicator, but we did not know that this creature was part of your examination...we simply made him an offer.. and offer that we have not made to any one else...and he needed to be healthy" Leck said
_
An offer you should have made AFTER Stripetail had healed him!' Evalicator said tensely.. "You come out of the blue, and heal him right away.. without warning, and thus wrecking my carefully laid plan...Well, you lightning Dragons haven't changed much since I last saw you, still impertinent and impulsive.."
_
Who are you?' Trin asked in a small voice.. he felt like a bag of goods that they were haggling over..
"Who i am does not matter Minister.. as for the choice you have been given... I'd opt for mortality" She said, giving both Leck and Thecklo icy cold glances..

Threehorn · **Reply #439 on:** June 22, 2007, 11:06:34 PM

"We are not impulsive as you think red dragon of power magic. We do not spy on others with every waking eyes as you, we did not know of this plan of yours or about what is going on in this galaxy we choosen this day for a long time and we only waited till the time that was agreed apron." Thecklo replied in a calm manner to her walking up to her "As you forgot it was who that we are that appeared to you when you was living, a request and plee for help do not forget who helped you when you was part of the living the red dragon of power and magic." Thecklo turn around to the window looking to the sky.

"Each star tells a story in which tells another and another. And one of those stories was us you heard and didn't we say we only appear when the time is right not for plans or tests but for the chooses we made leading to that which is now. Evalicator" He turned around facing her with a calminess to his eyes and face.

"I am sorry for what your plan was to do, you may proceed but we will just place a weaker illiness on him that will work the same manner to the healing of him from Stripetail in which he never knows of us since the time isn't right and Trin choose for himself and not inflenced by the Red Dragon of magic and power. Evalicator." Thecklo turn to Trin

"You will pick when the time is right for you, but as for now it isn't the time, you should think it over and over you should think it. In this choose it doesn't matter what others say to you and try to sway to you that answer, it up to you in here and here" Thecklo points to his heart then points to his mind. "Think and feel and your answer will come to truth by weighing it all without the source of inflence as she as spoken." Thecklo turn to Evalicator once more.

Thecklo then spoke once again "To limit the inference place a weaker illiness we will and healing will proceed as you wanted to be planed. But be warned Evalicator that you once asked for our help in the past and when we offer the choice you choosen the path in which is now, not us but you. We only offer when the heart and mind choice it which a long time ago you did, do not forget that our place is where we choice and what we pick has be placed for the reasons that still beyond your reasons of understanding Red Dragon of power and magic. Evalicator. impertinent and impulsive was you not us, you laid that on us to blame for the choice you made. Do not agure before you do. When we leave you remember not to speak of us in nature as you know that was agreements made." Thecklo looked to Trin now after finishing with Evalicator.

"Trin I am sorry to do this but what was right was wrong and make your choice when you choose is right and remember my words... Speak not of us to anyone and that your choice with come from you alone, the heart and mind that you will find it. Dreams or not that the one named Trin is what will come. Till you choice, farewell for now" Thecklo turn to the window walking to it.

"Leck we will take our leave" she nods and they walk and lightning appear all over them and then a bolt of lightning they was gone and Trin felt the weaken illiness come over him that the two cures will work for him "Do not worry you will live as I said 30 to 50 years as one of two offers. choice wisly and think and feel your answer." the voice echoed in the thunder then fades to nothingness and the Stripetail walked back in as 10 minutes just pass.
