trans_9 | Of a Dragon's Palace and River [Open]

After events had settled down some after the recent pod release and the arrival of at least one other from Krynn, Crucible had needed to stretch his wings a little as it were, take a little time in his true form, time to take a good swim in the river and a flight around the city to collect his thoughts. One that had a number of secondary benefits, one being to make his presence as Crucible known aboard, after all one might wonder where as large a dragon as himself might go if gone unseen for too long. The second came when he was flying, a distance out from the final bend of the river. Ones that he had been looking for for some time now, his palace from Sanction.

High walls surrounded the grounds of the vast white stone Palace, its' main building stood four stories high and was roofed with silvery gray slate. Five huge towers stood, one at each corner and one in the center, where a tall, broad staircase climbed up to the main doorway on the second floor
Landing. Landing within the high walls the large dragon circled the building with which he was so familiar. From what he saw at the least it was intact, both within and below, indeed a number of the outbuildings that were housed within the walls still stood.

It wasn't long before once more in the air, satisfied that his home for many years was intact. Turning his course up river intent on taking a long relaxing swim through its currents. Landing near the Angkor-Wat that made itself a bridge across the river before slipping easily into the water to swim lazily downstream, letting the current pull him along its course, his long neck held high above the water as he kept an idle eye out for anyone of interest.

(OOC: Feel free to see him flying about he's kinda hard to miss at 140ft long, feel free to have your character come across him in any of the three locations, just note in the title of the reply as to which)

Caro always notices dragons, and so looks up in delight when she sees such a lovely, majestic one flying above. She's not through with her exploring, but this is a diversion worth looking into.

With the ten year old is her dragon Freid, who is currently a much smaller size, and who starts braying cutely when he sees the other dragon high above.

"You want to fly like that, Freid? Oh, I'm not sure if I should use my magic here..."

Nonetheless, Freid tries to get a bit higher, maybe twenty feet above Caro's head, swooping in widening circles.

As with many dragons the one flying above them had a particularly acute sense of sight and with many years of experience in picking even the smallest details out in a situation it took little time to notice the young human and what looked to be a small dragon or other winged creature with her.

Somewhat amused at the tiny dragon's reaction to the sight of him Crucible decides it could be worth giving them a better look as he tilts his flight to arch around to fly closer, gradually drawing lower as he scanned the area around them for a suitable landing spot should they prove to be of enough interest.

On the ground, Caro is watching Freid, torn about whether to release his seal. She wants to let him fly freely if that's allowed, and he seems so excited.

Freid is patient for the most part, but he does make a few swooping gestures in midair before flying back to his master. He doesn't land, watching the sky and the passing dragon with intense curiosity.

The large dragon watches the two as he glides toward them, pondering whether or not to land, it would not hurt to rest his wings he supposed. Even after so long the damage done to his wings meant he had to rest them more often than he had. They were not far from his path in any event.

The decision made he made his way in toward a large clearing amongst the buildings not far from their position, his wide wings kicking up dust and left over debris from some event in the cities past and within a few moments he had landed, folding his large wings to his sides even as he padded from the clearing toward the young woman and her small dragon-like companion.

Caro hesitates a moment, but Fried is off and flying, flapping his little wings as he moves toward the larger dragon. He pauses, looking back, and then Caro smiles and heads over herself.

"Hello! I hope we didn't interrupt your flight too much."

((OOC: Forgive my late! Between vacations and LJ downtime I've been away a while. If you don't want to continue the thread I understand!))

Crucible pads closer as the two close in, the dust slowly settling as he watches the much smaller dragon with some manner of curiosity before the girl herself draws his attention as she speaks.

"Greetings to you and your companion, I was to land shortly whether here or elsewhere, think little of it," He replied after a moment regarding the two. Indeed with the damage to his wings he had to rest his wings more often than he'd like.

[OOC: Not a problem at all! Sorry for the delay in return!]

Oh! He speaks just like a human! Caro is a tiny bit thrown, but she gives a little curtsey. "I'm glad you did. Fried was excited to see another dragon." The tiny dragon at her shoulder gives an enthusiastic noise.

Caro looks at Fried, then at the larger dragon, and smiles a bit sheepishly. "I keep him in sealed form most of the time, but usually he's much bigger."

Crucible dips his head the slightest of bits in return to her curtsey, "Indeed, there are not many others aboard from what I gather, greetings little one," he directs more Fried. "I do not recognize his kind, a different manner of dragon from your own world I would assume?"

That draws a gaze down on her from the much larger dragon, "Is that so?" A dragon kept sealed as a pet?
