SilverPhoenixGod: "Greetings."
DragonCountess: <Hello, my friend.>
SilverPhoenixGod: "What have you been up to?"
DragonCountess: *Shinketsu walks around from behind Ryujinn* Nothing much...I've been waxing Ryu-kun's scales, though.
DragonCountess: *wipes her hands on her small apron* Where's Sirtax? Have you explained everything yet?
SilverPhoenixGod: "I just awakened from a long nap" *rubs his eyes* "Real long at that"
SilverPhoenixGod: "Aye, I've explained it to him..."
DragonCountess: <And what did he think?>
SilverPhoenixGod: "He seemed disappointed, but he is sorry of what he's done"
SilverPhoenixGod: "I think he accepts me now.."
SilverPhoenixGod: "I gave him another rest, to think it over...to make sure"
SilverPhoenixGod: "That was about 2 hours ago..."
DragonCountess: *smiles* OK. This is what we had planned, correct?
SilverPhoenixGod: "Basically, yes"
SilverPhoenixGod: "He was really tired after the flight home"
SilverPhoenixGod: "We were too tired to talk baout anything..."
SilverPhoenixGod: *about
SilverPhoenixGod: "But later we discussed it"
SilverPhoenixGod: "Everything seems fine now"
DragonCountess: <My wings were aching after all that flying around, also. Now that we've got that behind us, how about a trip to the lake?>
SilverPhoenixGod: "That couldn't hurt anyone" *pauses* "Well, it would be nice anyway" *Starts to chuckle*
DragonCountess: *Shinketsu gathers her cleaning materials, and climbs on*
SilverPhoenixGod: "Can we stop by place first?"
SilverPhoenixGod: "I'm sure Sirtax would enjoy the company"
DragonCountess: <Your place? Sure. Climb aboard.>
SilverPhoenixGod: "Or we could meet you there..."
SilverPhoenixGod: "Ah then. Very well"
SilverPhoenixGod: *Climbs atop Ryujinn*
SilverPhoenixGod: *Rubs his hands over Ryujinn's back* "Feels nice"
DragonCountess: *powers his wings, lifting off* <You have Shinketsu to blame for that.> *grins*
SilverPhoenixGod: *Laughs to himself*
SilverPhoenixGod: "I wonder how that volcano is doing"
DragonCountess: *soars across the sky* <I wouldn't know, but I assume the trolls are quite mad at you, right?>
SilverPhoenixGod: "I almost forgot about that... I'm sure they are though"
SilverPhoenixGod: "I'm guessing that they were resourceful enough to escape..although I hope otherwise"
DragonCountess: *nods* I agree...
SilverPhoenixGod: "Well, that's something to do later..."
DragonCountess: *comes to a rest on a ledge outside Sirtax's home* <Here we are...>
SilverPhoenixGod: *Jumps off Ryujinn* "One moment please"
SilverPhoenixGod: *Runs into a cave*
SilverPhoenixGod: "Sirtax----------!!!"
SilverPhoenixGod: "Sirtax...... I'm home!!"
SilverPhoenixGod: *Walks out of the cave*
SilverPhoenixGod: "Now where is he..."
DragonCountess: <Well...?>
SilverPhoenixGod: *A shrill screech echoes through the mountains*
SilverPhoenixGod: *Looks around*
SilverPhoenixGod: *points upward*
DragonCountess: *follows his gesture*
DragonCountess: *smiles*
SilverPhoenixGod: *Sirtax dives down and lands on the ledge*
SilverPhoenixGod: "Well, there you are" *Scratches Sirtax's beak*
SilverPhoenixGod: <Sorry to keep you waiting.>
DragonCountess: <Quite all right, my friend.>
SilverPhoenixGod: <So we're going to the lake?>
SilverPhoenixGod: <Alright...I'm all for it!>
SilverPhoenixGod: *Climbs atop Sirtax and holds onto his neck*
DragonCountess: *takes off in a silvery blur* 
SilverPhoenixGod: <See you there!> 

SilverPhoenixGod: *Jumps into the air, as a fire-trail follows*
DragonCountess: *slows down so as to fly alongside Sirtax and Simgar*
SilverPhoenixGod: <What a confusing and exhausting week, don't you agree?>
DragonCountess: <Yes, yes, I agree.>
SilverPhoenixGod: <For awhile, I thought our friend Shinketsu was dead... But I'm glad she is not>
SilverPhoenixGod: <Ryujinn, I must thank you again....>
DragonCountess: *nods his head* <You are very welcome, my friend the Phoenix.>
SilverPhoenixGod: "Well, Sirtax. What do you plan on doing later on?"
SilverPhoenixGod: <I have no idea... definitely not sleep, though. I've had my fair share of sleeping this week..>
SilverPhoenixGod: *chuckles*
SilverPhoenixGod: "Ah yes, Sirtax. What do you think the Troll Nation thinks of me now?"
SilverPhoenixGod: <That IS a matter, isn't it. Nothing two powerful creatures can't solve, though>
DragonCountess: Make that four...*smiles*
SilverPhoenixGod: <Not including two very skilled beings alongside>
DragonCountess: *nods excitedly* Quite so!
SilverPhoenixGod: <Well then...why not settle the matter now?>
DragonCountess: <I don't mind...After all, we can always relax at the lake afterwards...>
SilverPhoenixGod: *turns his head northward*
SilverPhoenixGod: *Turns his body northward, leaning over at the same time*
DragonCountess: Yes, but let's try to talk this out first! You know I prefer to avoid fighting as much as possible...
SilverPhoenixGod: <Let's just visit the village in that area first>
DragonCountess: *follows* <I agree with Shinketsu. Let's keep the fatality count as low as we earthly can.>
SilverPhoenixGod: <One village is not very much to deal with... After all we can just burn it, if nothing else>
SilverPhoenixGod: <That is, if they don't run away scared>
SilverPhoenixGod: <They are very superstitious, you know>
DragonCountess: Just don't tell me you're becoming a blood-thirsty savage...*wags her finger threateningly, smiling*
SilverPhoenixGod: <Oh, of course not. I'm just considering the alternative>

SilverPhoenixGod: <And why would I want to EAT them?>
SilverPhoenixGod: <Have you ever tried a Troll?>
SilverPhoenixGod: <Sour...very sour>
SilverPhoenixGod: *Simgar nods in disgust* 
DragonCountess: <Right. They are quite displeasing to the tongue...> *grimaces at Shinketsu's disaproving look*
SilverPhoenixGod: "Shall we change the subject? I just had my meal"
SilverPhoenixGod: "I'm not about to lose it"
DragonCountess: Please do...
SilverPhoenixGod: <Just proving my point, that's all>
DragonCountess: What shall we talk about?
SilverPhoenixGod: <Well, I think it best if we look for the villages that own the prison>
SilverPhoenixGod: <Simgar here knows the Troll tongue>
SilverPhoenixGod: *Simgar nods*
DragonCountess: I assume you, Simgar would know then the best places?
SilverPhoenixGod: "Best places? Hah!"
SilverPhoenixGod: "I only know the language"
SilverPhoenixGod: "Not their history or towns"
SilverPhoenixGod: "I know that if we soar over them, and drop a note saying something, and sign it from the Gods, then they will leave the matter alone"
DragonCountess: Easy enough, right?
SilverPhoenixGod: "We wpuld have to burn a few huts though... To make them belive us"
SilverPhoenixGod: *would
SilverPhoenixGod: "All we have to do is find them"
SilverPhoenixGod: [Dang, my sister has the computer at eight...]
SilverPhoenixGod: [That sucks]
DragonCountess: {No duh...}
SilverPhoenixGod: [She's such a beaner...]
SilverPhoenixGod: [Oh my god my hands are freezing!]
DragonCountess: {anyway, back to the story}
SilverPhoenixGod: <Ah then...I think that's it right there>

SilverPhoenixGod: *POints at the grouping of huts*
DragonCountess: Do you have any parchment with you?
SilverPhoenixGod: "I might have some in my cloak..."
SilverPhoenixGod: "By any chance, Shinketsu, would you have a bow and arrow with you?"
DragonCountess: No...Just a dagger...But if you need to give them the note, I can arrange that...Have I failed to mention I can communicate with animals?
SilverPhoenixGod: "Nae, we can just land in the middle of the town and give the note to the person-in-order"
SilverPhoenixGod: "Shall we?"
DragonCountess: All right then. 
SilverPhoenixGod: "I'll just speak to them...I'm out of parchment"
SilverPhoenixGod: *Frowns*
DragonCountess: <Shall we land?>
SilverPhoenixGod: <Here goes. Hold on, Simgar>
SilverPhoenixGod: *Sirtax dives down*
SilverPhoenixGod: *Skids and then stops, taking a few huts with him too*
SilverPhoenixGod: *Terrified trolls run everywhere*
DragonCountess: I take that as a no, Ryujinn...We'll stay and watch from above...
SilverPhoenixGod: *Says something very loud in Troll*
SilverPhoenixGod: *A old-looking troll with a cane steps out from the underbrush*
SilverPhoenixGod: *Says something else in Troll, yet much longer*
SilverPhoenixGod: *The elder nearly passes out, and then gazes in awe at the Phoenix*
SilverPhoenixGod: *Sirtax leaps off into the sky again, screaming with delight*
SilverPhoenixGod: "Well then, that was easy"
DragonCountess: What did you say to them, Simgar?
SilverPhoenixGod: "That the guard was used as a sacrifice, for that village has done something very wrong, and hi life spared the life of many others, and that the Gods are pleased, but want to further wrongdoings"
SilverPhoenixGod: *his life
SilverPhoenixGod: "Went alot smoother than I imagined"
SilverPhoenixGod: *Sirtax winces at the wind passing around his hurt wing*
SilverPhoenixGod: <Shall we hurry up?I injured my wing with a few huts>
DragonCountess: You must always be flashy, ne? *looks at Sirtax worridly* Yes, let's go.
SilverPhoenixGod: <Why, of course! I must not deprive ANY beings of gazing at me>
SilverPhoenixGod: *Prideful*<Everybody has the right to see my splendor>
DragonCountess: *teasingly* <Of course, who can rejoice if they have not seen the Almighty Phoenix, Sirtax?>
SilverPhoenixGod: *Sirtax snarls jokingly*
SilverPhoenixGod: <Would you like to see my do a flip?>
SilverPhoenixGod: *me
DragonCountess: *giggles* Sure.
SilverPhoenixGod: *Sirtax looks down at the forest below* <watch out trees, here I come>
SilverPhoenixGod: *Sirtax falls downward, spiraling*
SilverPhoenixGod: *RIght when you think he would hit the trees, he turns backward and flies upward, then turns again and is now flying next to Ryujinn*
SilverPhoenixGod: "Sirtax, be careful!"
SilverPhoenixGod: "I almost fell!"
SilverPhoenixGod: <But wasn't that fun? I'm sure the inhabitants enjoyed...>
DragonCountess: *laughs* That was quite amusing...
SilverPhoenixGod: <But I shall leave them wanting more>
SilverPhoenixGod: *Sirtax screeches at the forest*
DragonCountess: <Of course! His Majesty needs his rest!> *grins*
SilverPhoenixGod: "Almost there..."
SilverPhoenixGod: <Do you think YOu could manage one, Ryujinn?>
DragonCountess: *Shinketsu shakes her head worridly, while Ryujinn nods excitedly*
SilverPhoenixGod: <That would be too much excitement for the forest-dwellrs>
SilverPhoenixGod: <Set aside Shinketsu-worry-wart
SilverPhoenixGod: *>
SilverPhoenixGod: "I wouldn't want Shinketsu falling a second time..."
SilverPhoenixGod: 'Because there would be no one to catch her"
DragonCountess: *mumbles inarticulately under her breath* Yes, and if Ryujinn falls?
SilverPhoenixGod: <Now THAT would be a challenge...>
DragonCountess: Suppose he breaks his wing?
SilverPhoenixGod: "That wouldn't be good"
SilverPhoenixGod: "But we are here now..."
SilverPhoenixGod: *Sirtax swoops down, belly grazing the surface*
SilverPhoenixGod: *Sirtax pulls up and lands on the shore*
SilverPhoenixGod: *Simgar slides off Sirtax*
SilverPhoenixGod: "Nice one!"
DragonCountess: *follows* <Now, now, I thought you were tired, Your Majesty?>
SilverPhoenixGod: *Simgar suits himself underneath Sirtax's wing, and falls asleep*
SilverPhoenixGod: <That was tiring... I need my rest to heal>
DragonCountess: *whispers* Well, at least one of them is tired...*smiles*
SilverPhoenixGod: *Sirtax rests his head on the sand, and closes his dark eyes*
DragonCountess: *lands in the water nearby, watching silently*
DragonCountess: <Make that two...>
SilverPhoenixGod: *a low rumble surges through the air, and you realize it is Sirtax snoring*
DragonCountess: *giggles quietly* How cute....
