Xavier chuckled at Sionet's dark blush then held his hands out as she moved, hovering them over her to help if she needed it. When she was balanced he pulled his hands back, raising his eyebrows when she went on a flying rant. He turned his head to see the others through the door, looking curious as he stood up. "Hmm..well, so much for keeping what species I am secret.." he lightly dusted himself off before responding to the bright blonde. "I came because Sionet was not feeling very well." he said simply with a gesture of his hand towards Sionet.

"Of course i will wait. I was just born adventuring and I really want to find out more about Twilight and my crystal. It gets me all hyped up." He said looking at Hope. Then he noticed the portal was gone. "When is Xavier coming back??" He said curiously.

"I-I don't know.." Hope murmured, her hands nervously clutching at her dress.

"That would depend on how long they consider a day to be. Once he is back, though, I have some business to attend elsewhere."

The person in question stood there shuffling her feet before she looked up and dashed quickly out the door knocking Sphynix and Eda Uru out of the way. Lunaris smiled at the tint to her cheeks knowing she was heading to the practice dome. "Oh it is alright Sir dragon... May I call you Xavier? He knew because he is a part of our training circle, the only others outside us 4 and sionet is the other 10 elders. That isn't gonna be a problem." She said in her mused alto voice.
Eda looked Xavier over contemplatingly. The look in his eyes spoke of a rival for her affections. "I will go and finish with Nervun's repairs for the day ok." he mumbled in his voice as he stepped away, he looked in the direction that Sionet went. Trodding off down the opposite hall he disappeared in it's darkness.
Rolling her eyes a bit Sphynix spoke up. "Oh she will be alright, that one. Dragon poison is a nasty thing. But she was more flustered by you and that jerk off of a sword's comments." She said as she turned to flounce off her ponytailed hair a distinct pale green swaying back and forth.
This left a stunned Solartic and calm Lunaris. "Well come on you two, let's get some food ready for him to snack on.. as well as a room to stay. He isn't sleeping with Sionet's quarters that is for sure." Said Lunaris as she waved her hand for them to follow. Solartic did just that, his mind reeling at what Sionet said, about a bond, and the smiple reaction Xavier caused in her as well as Eda's. that last intrigued him the most.

Xavier watched as Sionet ran off, letting her go; he knew his last comment might have upset her, he didn't want to make the matter any worse. He then turned to Lunaris, giving her a bit of a smile before nodding. "Yes, of course. You may call me by my first name if you wish." he said before looking about the room they were in with slight curiousity. That was when Eda came to him. He turned his burning gaze to the young man below him, noticing the very clear emotions in his eyes. Xavier shut his own eyes and lightly chuckled, grinning at being denied the right to sleep in Sionet's room. "Hmm, yes, let us go; I should like to rest a while as she is out training." he said as he followed after, his jewelary jingling softly as he went.

Lunaris linked to her brother.. "You are curious about emotional developements huh? Well Dark is no longer with us, his rose faded last night. and that is a surprise from Eda huh? he showed neither interest in females or males all his life. it would seem our little princess evokes alot from others unintentionally." She smiled when she finished. She had led them through several halls and two doors into the main living area, that had a huge warm fire place, plush light colored funiture and beautifully hand woven rugs on the floor.
Walking over she pulled a cord opening a small door in the wall bringing forth a small tray of tea and light snack biscuits. "Oh sister this is good, but not too good. Xavier isn't a clan member hence we can't tell him about the rite for a female let alone what we are, and Sionet's true identity." he shot back laughingly.
******
Sionet ran through the main doors and straight out to the circlular lip of the clan's highest level startling everyone in her path. She reached the lip and jumped free falling to the bottom 750 feet below her. People gasped as she passed each level with her speed, she never released her wings, but as she neared the bottom, she manipulated the wind current around her to slow herself. When she touched the bottom, she pushed off runing still at full speed.
AS she neared the practice dome, the largest structure in any clan, she slowed and entered it with grace. There sat a slightly old woman, who looked frail and wizened. "YOUR LATE! Don't you have any manners child?" she asked in a hoarse voice as she rose to a full height of 6 feet. Marching with a purpose she led Sionet to a side chamber that had sealing runes carved every were.

Xavier looked around the large room with curiousity, particularly attracted to the fireplace. "Hmm..if I am alone in this room, and I permitted to be in my natural form?" he asked before lightly and gracefully striding over to the small sampling of food and drink. Xavier lightly tilted his head, causing his jewelary to jingle as he carefully picked up one of the biscuits to study it. Hmm, no meat this time.. he thought before lightly setting it down and looking around once more, his curiousity burning in his beautiful eyes.

Two soft twin chuckles could be heard from both Solartic and Lunaris.. "No this is a living area for entertainment. We will give you a room a lot better of this. With a sand heated floor your kind loves so much. And does the food not please you.. if you would like something in particular just ask. We'd like to make you comfortable." They said in perfect unison.
******
The elder lady directed Sionet to a sealing circle in the middle of the room. Sionet stood there turning to face this woman, wondering if this was her teacher for today. "You child have a phobia of your talents I see. And your potential is great now, even if you are not allowed to do the rite of passage because of you TAINT. But since you don't use it you lack stamina and control... Am i right?" said the elder woman...impatient for her answer.
"yes you are right I don't use them so I lack stamina, but I can maintain some pretty decent control or I would be dead ma'am." replied Sionet. A little shocked at the womans dislike of her, but she mentally shrugged it off because it was something she was used to growing up, never really being allowed friend due to prejudices against her half breed nature.
"Fine here is what I want you to do, since you can control both water and wind. Do fifty wind blade slashes with your right hand and then stop, begin again with your left hand but using your left, then alternate between both hands using their told element another fifty times. The target is this *waves hand and bulls eyes appears floating in air* I will stay stationary until you have completed what I have assigned you. This will see just how well your stamina is and a basic grasp on your control." she said in a rough voice.
Sionet nodded and focused her mind and elements to their assigned hands. Then began to do slashes with each The first fifty on each hand went well, but when it came time to alternate about an hour and half later, she felt a bit tired, but didn't show it. Continuing her training in alternating took almost 2 hours, by the time she was done she had started to sweat a little bit. Agumenting a Hurmph sound from the woman.

Xavier raised his eyebrows when they mentioned a room better than this, causing a grin to spread across his face; a sand heated floor, that really did sound very appealing to him. "Hmm, well, I am not much of an eater of such things as these.." he said, being as polite as he could as he gestured to the biscuits. "If you have any meat, that is fine, it doesn't have to be cooked either." he said, almost licking his lips at the thought of food.

a soft laugh came from Lunaris as she fondly remembered as a young girl of about 300 or so that another dragon said that same thing. That same dragon and her mate went to fight a powerful being and both died. She missed Tiamat n bahamut so much. "Oh I should of known better." she said as she walked back to the cord pulling it twice, when teh door opened a gigantic platter of extremely rare meat was there. She wiggled her fingers and the platter floated along behind her.
She set it on the carpets before the fire, a knife and fork was on the plate. It wasn't meant as a gusture, who ever put them there made sure that they wanted Xavier to use them.....
"So what questions do you have to put across to us. That we are allowed to answer. If we can't we will let you know and why." Said Solartic.
******
Breathing a little hard, Sionet looked at the woman. She shrugged ignoring Sionet's condition.. "Now child the target will move around randomly, begin again from the beginning all three stages." She ordered. The woman was cold and uncaring, but at the same time she was closely watching what was going on in all situations in this room.
Sionet nodded and began again. Her bodies stamina starting to go below half way from what she was estimating. By the time the first two exercises were over, her breathing was audibly noticable. She was really sweating now, but she continued, so another 4 hours went by. BEfore the woman called a stop and made the girl drink water and eat a light meal and rest for 30 minutes.

Xavier was about to ask what the sad look on Lunaris' face was for, but he was greatly destracted by the food. Xavier ended up licking his lips anyway as me moved to the food, about to change back to original form when he noticed the silverware. He almost sighed, but set to work on eating the provided meats with obvious hunger. He lightly raised one of his fingers, signifying that if he had questions he would ask them after he was done eating.
Hope wondered where Shade was going to go afterwards, and if he would take her with her when she thought she heard something from the woods behind them. Hope turned to look, scooting closer to Shade. "Sh-shade..?" she murmured quietly, wondering if he had heard it or if she was only imagining things.

Shade looks to Hope, noting her startled look. "What is it Hope, what's wrong?"

Hope relaxed slightly, looking back into the forest. "N-nothing, it must've been an a-animal.." she murmured, turning back to Shade.
Quite suddenly something flew from the trees and into Hope, both of them rolling a good distance a ways before they stopped. Hope was pinned to the ground by another woman, who looked surprisingly similar to her yet different from anyone else; black cat ears where normal ears should be, a black dragon's tail swaying with excitement from the hunt, dark hair and fangs bared..was it a demon? Perhaps, but whatever it was it was about to end Hope's existance forever.

Osiris was reclining casually in a tree about twenty feet above the area where Shade was talking to his companions. He grinned at the thought of attempting a live capture. Twilight had said he was to be brought in alive, hadn't she? Osiris decided that he would bring in Shade as well as the head of Dark.
