"Come with me. I'll show you where we find our Staff Crystals."


She led them down into a deep cavern. "This is one of the deepst cavern in the country. It goes all the way to the sea floor."

"Your Highness what brings you down here? Looking to replace your star with a gem?"

"No Himiko. I'm showing my guest around. This is Lady Ri-an, she's from Ri-an."

"Well it must be very difficult to remember. I'm not sure it's wise for you to tour milady, we're very busy..."

Sakura cleard her throught.

"But you are our leader and you sign our paychecks, so by all means."

"Thank you Himiko, keep up the good work your all doing a wondeful job."

"When it comes to sorcery, we have the power but a crystal enhances it. When placed on a staff it forms a bond between the crystal the staff and the sorcer themselves. Unless of course you know wandless then you have it made. First the crystals are mined out of the walls, then they're cut into specific designes, a majority are orbs, some are diamond or emerald cut. And of course not every crystal we find is magical. For thoes ones, we polish them up and sell them on the open markets, they sell like hot cakes whenever we give them to royalty."

"Have you ever considered making a magick crystal? If I can make entire Caverns of them in my worldly body, as a Worldspirit, surely one of you that crawl on it and dig through it can make a single one. I taught the sorcerers, Just because you use wands and staffs should mean nothing." Lady Ri-an said.

She felt the wall.

"I can feel them, magick and non-magick alike. Thousands, millions, Billions, spread throughout the Earth. I can feel new ones being made, old ones crumbling and dieing. I can feel just how far this cavern extends, and how many unopened and unexplored areas there are. But, Discovery is the best prize of all, and I won't rob you of its joy." Lady Ri-an said.

"Ones you make have a very personal value, and its hard to make them at first. It took me my first 5,000 years to perfect the process naturally, and that was over one billion years ago, when I did not have such sentience as I have now. Oh, if only you could see the grand crystal spire I made. But then my Tectonic plates shifted and it crumbled." Lady Ri-an said.

"We have thought of seeking out Magick crystals but honestly they are virtually along the same lines as our gems. They are slightly stronger but that's about it when it comes to us. They may be far more effective on your race than ours."

"We have thought of seeking out Magick crystals but honestly they are virtually along the same lines as our gems. They are slightly stronger but that's about it when it comes to us. They may be far more effective on your race than ours."

"Possibly" she said.

Her hand started to shake violently.

Back on Ri-an...

The City of Elru experienced a 6.0 earthquake. Damages are calculated at approximatly five hundred Million dollars.

"Sorry, The Elru plate was shifting and settling." She said grabbing her hand.

(I'm sorry for my lateness. We just hit the end of the School Quarter so I've been busy. But now I'm good)

"Oh my, are you all right milady? Anything I can do?"

(I'm sorry for my lateness. We just hit the end of the School Quarter so I've been busy. But now I'm good)

"Oh my, are you all right milady? Anything I can do?"

"No, just Tectonic Plate Activity. All worlds experience such activity from time to time. No one was killed, half of elru experienced structural damage. Nothing they can't handle. At least the Coral Palace is ok." She said.

a Red magic crystal dropped from the hand that shook.

"Whoops." she said.

It was filled with the power of fire magic, and was warm to the touch.

She pointed at it, and it leaped to her hand.

"I hope it isn't too serious. But it's a relife no one was killed. And you've mastered element manipulation. Impressive."

"I'm the Spirit of the entire world, a Part of The Mother Spirit of Creation, I should hope I've mastered Element Manipulation. Otherwise the Storm systems I've been guiding are in serious trouble." she said.

"I hope it isn't too serious. But it's a relife no one was killed. And you've mastered element manipulation. Impressive."

OOC: Silly Time Warp. Look above your last post.

(Ah okay)

"Yes understood. Elementals are also a type of magic users. Not as commong here as in other places in the world. I think they would be amazed by the ammount of Elemental Manipulation you posses."

(Ah okay)

"Yes understood. Elementals are also a type of magic users. Not as commong here as in other places in the world. I think they would be amazed by the ammount of Elemental Manipulation you posses."

"It just comes natural to me, because of what I am."

"Indeed. I think I will take you to one of our finest Element Schools in the nation."

"It would be a pleasure."

"Now would be perfect time to try out my incantation. We're at point a, we need to get to point b, so warp us where we need to go."

They teleported right outside of a school. "Ah it worked! Well anyway, this is the Academy of Elemental Users, it's a bit pricey for the average citizen, but it work."

She pushed the buzer. "Yes can I help you?"

"It's me, Empress Kinimoto, I'm here for a tour."

"Oh your highness, why didn't you just say so. Come on in!"

The gates swon open. "Milady, this is Lady Anya. She's the administrator of this school, and one of the few Sorceress that know both Sorcery and Elemental Magic. Lady Anya, Lady Ri-an."

"Oh it's a pleasure Lady Ri-an, I have heard much about you."

"Oh it's a pleasure Lady Ri-an, I have heard much about you."

"The Pleasure is mine. I hope you have heard only good things." Said Lady Ri-an. who nodded her head. If there were flowers, and other forms of vegetation, their colors would become noticably brighter and they would be noticably healthier. Dirt would suddenly bare grass. Concrete and stone would suddenly seem harder, newer. The water would become incredibly bluer, healthier. the wind suddenly smelled so sweet and fresh. Nearby creatures suddenly sounded happier, healthier.

This was a side effect of her recovering from her recent tremor.

"Oh indeed many good things, follow me your Highnesses, I will be happy to lead you. Not only do I run the school, I teach as well. I'm also the co-founder of this school. Our public schools are more geared towards sorcery, so there isn't a lot of help for Elemental Children. So that is why I started this school, to give them the very best because they deserve it. Right your Majesty Kinimoto?"

"Indeed, there's been a bill in circulation for sometime to begin funding in Public Elemental Schools, but so far it hasn't had much luck."

"Indeed, there's been a bill in circulation for sometime to begin funding in Public Elemental Schools, but so far it hasn't had much luck."

"Oh I do hope it passes. Untrained magic is dangerous. One of my children accidently opened a new Volcano without intending to once. Normally its no big deal, I just close it, help them learn to control their powers, that's that. No, this time, it was opened inside a large city. Nobody, not even the student survived."

"Indeed Untraind magic is very dangerous. Especially Elemental Children, the older they get, the stronger their powers get. Why once a Fire Element girl accidently burned her home, just by sneazing."

"I can top that, the day after I gained sentience as the personification of my world, I accidently flooded the entire world after a particularly dry bit of bread someone gave me started to choke me and make me cough. The Flood lasted nearly 1,000 years. Fortunatly There were underground caves I was able to take them to.

"Oh my goodness. Well of our children were able to do that, I'm sure that bill would pass with no trouble."

"Oh my goodness. Well of our children were able to do that, I'm sure that bill would pass with no trouble."

"I hope it does, its hard to learn on your own. As a worldspirit, all your accidents are multiplied by 1,000. So, can I see what their learning at the moment?"

"Well every teacher has a diffrent lesson plan, so why don't we just chose basic skills right now. This is our youngest group."

"Oh can I help you Headmistress? Oh my goodness, class, class attention please. We are truly graced today, our Empress is here today. Everyone say good morning to Empress Kinimoto."

"Good morning Empress Kinimoto."

"Good morning. This is my guest Lady Ri-an, can you say good morning to her?"

"Good morning Lady Ri-an."

"Well every teacher has a diffrent lesson plan, so why don't we just chose basic skills right now. This is our youngest group."

"Oh can I help you Headmistress? Oh my goodness, class, class attention please. We are truly graced today, our Empress is here today. Everyone say good morning to Empress Kinimoto."

"Good morning Empress Kinimoto."

"Good morning. This is my guest Lady Ri-an, can you say good morning to her?"

"Good morning Lady Ri-an."

"Good morning." Lady Ri-an said.

"So Professor, what have you been teaching your students?"

"Well I was teaching the basics. Controlling their element, some have it masterd, others still need a little help."

A little boy sneazed shooting lightning all over the place. The professor caught it. "See what I mean."

"Would you give us a demonstation?"

"Certianly, uhh Yui, sweetheart why don't you show us what you have learned."

The little girl formed a long steel pole right in her hands. "Steel Element, 6 years old and already she's forming metal. She's one of my brightest."

"I also can fall and don't get hurts. Watch."

She spontaniously ran into the wall, implanting her self.

"See, I'm okay!"

"Yui, you know you aren't supposed to do that. Please go sit in the corner."

"Yes Sensei."

"Please be cautious with them."

"Absolutley Headmistress-sensei I will be very cautious."

"I suppose I ought to fix the wall."

Anya zapped it fix and clean. "Oh yes i did forget to mention she also is very skilled in staffless magic."

Anya zapped it fix and clean. "Oh yes i did forget to mention she also is very skilled in staffless magic."

"Ahh, yes steel, a Subset of the dominion of the School of Earth magics. Quite a handy skill, able to make and become a metal elemental. Becareful of Rust monsters. Staffless magic?"

"Well I did mention earlier, we use staffs as amplafires of our magic. The term staffless would apply to thoes that could use magic w/o a staff, but it doesn't apply to Elements, as most Element Users are constrained to just one element."

"Well I did mention earlier, we use staffs as amplafires of our magic. The term staffless would apply to thoes that could use magic w/o a staff, but it doesn't apply to Elements, as most Element Users are constrained to just one element."

"And so, who is the most skilled in Staffless?"

"Search me, who ever it is, certianlly doesn't live in this country."

"We belive the title belongs to a Cory Turner, but we aren't sure where he resides."

"Regardless, Lady Anya here is our finest instructor in the nation. That is why I gave her Imperial Headship."

"Search me, who ever it is, certianlly doesn't live in this country."

"We belive the title belongs to a Cory Turner, but we aren't sure where he resides."

"Regardless, Lady Anya here is our finest instructor in the nation. That is why I gave her Imperial Headship."

Lady Ri-an simply waited for an answer to her question. She was referring to the Class Lady Anya was teaching, as to who in that class was the most skilled in Staffless magic.

"As for the school, one of our most skilled Staffless people would be me. It's primarly an Element School and Element Children don't use staffs or wands. But in another school we know of a student who is highly skilled with Staffless magic."

"As for the school, one of our most skilled Staffless people would be me. It's primarly an Element School and Element Children don't use staffs or wands. But in another school we know of a student who is highly skilled with Staffless magic."

IC:
"And so, after this class, these, basic skills, do they stay with the same teacher, or do they move onto another?"

"The younger Kids will stay for another period with Professor Mizuki here, after that they will move on to Professor Kuroda. But the older kids will instantly move to their next teacher and subject."

"The younger Kids will stay for another period with Professor Mizuki here, after that they will move on to Professor Kuroda. But the older kids will instantly move to their next teacher and subject."

"I meant after they pass this class, but I suppose that answers my question well enough. Well, we musn't just distract one class, let us distract in equal measures, what about a more advanced subject?"

"Oh. Well after they pass, they will move up a grade, and with a new teacher. Come I'll show you more. This is the senior graduating class. This is the Alchemy, it's a pefrect subject for Steel Elements and hard to get into. The class roster fills up like crazy."

"The transmutation of one thing into another. A classic example being lead into Gold."

"Correct. It isn't madeted in the country, but others do madate it."

"Correct. It isn't madeted in the country, but others do madate it."

OOC: Madeted? Madate? What?

IC:
"Alchemy is qute a useful skill. I taught the fundimentals to the Energy Sorcerers, and thus sowed the seeds of Magiscience."

"We belive it is too. It helps Steel Element Children improve their skills at metal manipulation."

"We belive it is too. It helps Steel Element Children improve their skills at metal manipulation."

"What of the Art of Magiscience, the bridge between Science and Magic, do you teach that as well?"

"Ah such an intresting and complex subject. We would like to add it to the school ciriculums, but we haven't found a teacher who is knowledable on the subject."

"Ah such an intresting and complex subject. We would like to add it to the school ciriculums, but we haven't found a teacher who is knowledable on the subject."

"I am, but unfortunatly, I cannot be far from my world for very long. What if, yes. What if say, you were to send your most promising students to Ri-an? Schotty and Geoarty teach the younger sorcerers how to do it, I am sure a handful more would not be too taxing, along the way, they could see for themselves, how we do magic. Magiscience is done both with, and without items, it would not be too much of a stretch for your students. And as for getting to and from Ri-an, there is going to be a Warp point at Empresss Sakura's castle, linking to The grand Coral Palace in Elru on Ri-an. I taught Sakura personally just this morning how to create Warp Points, knowledge I am sure she will pass down when she is ready. Since a Warp point stretching accross two Galaxies, the far side of Milky way, to the far side of Andromeda will require such great power, I personally will set it up. If Sakura tried, she would surely kill herself before she got half way." Lady Ri-an said.

"Hmmm that is a very good posiblity. Many student's love to study abroad, and I'm sure they would love to study in Ri-an. And we offer Tax Breaks for thoes that chose to study abroad."

"Hmmm that is a very good posiblity. Many student's love to study abroad, and I'm sure they would love to study in Ri-an. And we offer Tax Breaks for thoes that chose to study abroad."

"I'd say, about 20 of your best would be enough, and I'm sure they would recieve many offers from the schools here for very good careers teaching Magiscience, since you yourself said there are no teachers knowledgable in the subject. There is only one Qualifier that I will give you, to test them with.

All Ri-an sorcerers can accomplish this, regardless of whether their Earth, Fire, Energy/Magiscience, or anything else." Lady Ri-an said.

She put her hands together, but not touching, they were a full foot apart.

Energy crackled down her arms, and blasted together in the space between her hands, Space seemed to warp and twist, and the Glow of the Magic energy was bright, but at the same time, it was Black as space.
They could actually see the air vibrate around her hands, and then coalesced, into a Crystal. It was Black as space, but looking into it, one could see nearly anything one wished. A few after crackles of energy down her arms, and it was done. She grabbed it before it fell.

"As long as they can do magic, anyone can do this. It is the simple compression of the Raw Mana in the air around you, into a crystaline shape. This Crystal is not Crystal at all. It is pure solidified and compressed mana. I used the Element of Space magics, so that you might see everything effected. I suggust doing it outside, until they are very skilled. You saw, and felt how it is done, thus, you know how it is done. Ability to do this is important, because it is from this, that all Magiscience springs from. At least half of all Ri-an machinery is driven by Crystals. It is easier to adapt a machine to draw power from this, instead of letting it draw energy from the air. That's where trouble comes from. Some machines can even cast automated magic, thus providing excellent defense. Oh, look at me, jumping from visitation to teaching. Sorry, I just can't help myself sometimes." Lady Ri-an said.

Making a magic crystal like that, actually effected very little, but only because Lady Ri-an was so skilled. It was easy to see why she suggusted doing it outside, especially if someone tried making a Fire Crystal, or a water crystal.

"If the Crytal blows up, unless it is fire magic, they should be unhurt, except for a wounded ego and a hurt pride. If it is Healing magic, they may have Regeneration for a time, Water magic, they might drown from a flood of water, and fire magic, its like a grenade exploding. I advise just making pure energy crystals as the test, or Healing. Pure energy Crystals Glow like a light, and healing ones are solid grey, and promote better health." Lady Ri-an said.

She handed the Crystal to Sakura to look at.

"Facinating. it's very beautiful."

"Facinating. it's very beautiful."

"There's many types. Fire, Earth, Water, Air, Lightning, Ice, Healing, Necromantic, Space, Time, Energy, Law, Chaos, and their all easy to use." Lady Ri-an said.

"Incredible. It's a real shame you can't teach here. But that's how it is. Maybe I'll study it my self. Lady Anya, I want you to prepare a list of your most aspring student's in this school, I'm going to compare that with all the schools nation wide. "

"Yes ma'am, upon your departure, I will get right on that."

"Good. Lady Anya, why don't you show us some of our other activites."

"Of course. As with all schools, we don't simply belive in just teaching magic. We offer a lot of other activities. This is our Orchestra...Next door our Choir. Ah we have a fencing team, one of the best. Kendo class. Even Kabuki dancing. Encouraging other activities ouside main studies allows a student's mind to expand in posotive ways."

"Study in just one subject never really is good. It tends to be very bad for the mind."

"We agree. That is why all schools have mixed ciriculum. It's proven to be much better for the nations youth."

"We agree. That is why all schools have mixed ciriculum. It's proven to be much better for the nations youth."

"I don't know about you, but I've often found, that a mind is best receptive to learning, when the body its housed in is physicly fit. But let us not forget, a Balanced relaxed mind is also important, which is why Meditation is also very important. What are your views and theories on this? I'm not saying physicly fit as in looking like Herculese, but a well rounded exercise regimene, and regular meditation is very important."

"Well we aren't one for not allowing kids the guilty pleasure of sweets. Especially me I love sweets. Our school meals are very well balanced, and don't cost a cent for any student in any school. We do take Physical Fitness quite seriously, every student has a full year of Physical Fitness Class from Start to End of school. Meditation, well we don't mandate on that. Some schools do it, some don't. Personally meditation calms me down. But also just going to a Shinto Shrine helps me too."

Lady Ri-an tried to think up a reason to stay, but could find none. She did hav a very fine visit, and thought it to be a lovely school.

"Well, this is a very fine school, I enjoyed my visit Perhaps I will return eventually. Lady Sakura, don't forget the two guests that are waiting for you at your castle, they are in a very unique position to help you with the dragons. They don't mind waiting, but all the same, it would be unseemly to keep them waiting for too long."

"Well it was a great pleasure to have you here. I do hope you will return soon."

"Well it was a great pleasure to have you here. I do hope you will return soon."

Lady Ri-an nodded, and planted a mood bush in the ground. Its current color and smell was white and neutral, but when someone touched it, its color and scent changes to match the holders mood. Its was 100 times more accurate than a mood stone.

"A mood bush. Thank you."

"A mood bush. Thank you."

"Your welcome. Shall we be off?"

"Yes."

Lady Ri-an waited for them to arrive at their next destination.

Meanwhile...

The Man and woman that were on the fountain, had take to laying on the grass. They were facing each other. They lay on the grass, like a Dragon lays on its treasure horde when its comfortable.

"These are the Coral Cavern, deep bellow the see. Aren't they pretty, we have the most colorfull coarl reef down here than anyone else in this part of the world. Because this sea is really stormy, and rough a lot of the times, coral can't survive on the surface so it's all down here. It's one of our hotest tourist attractions, and...What the?! I'm sorry, will you please exuse me."

Sakura floated out into the open water out of the caves. "Jeffry!" She was calling to a giant squid that had a sub in it's tenticals. "Jeffry, what did I tell you about taking submarines!?"

"I'm sorry your highness, but this sub looked like it was up to something!"

"Jeffry, this is a research sub, it's not doing anything bad. We had a deal remember, you leave ships and subs alone and you get to eat all the coarl you want."

"Yes your Majesty I understand. I'm sorry."

"It's okay." She patted him.

"Yes your Majesty I understand. I'm sorry."

"It's okay." She patted him.

"Jeffry, you should come visit my world sometime. The Aquamarinians could show you the great Coral Reef of Alkezi, Its so old, its more of an Underwater Continent by now."

"That sure sounds great ma'am. What do you think your Highness?"

"I think that's wonderful. It would do you good to get out of Xanadou for a while Jeff."

OOC: How the heck I missed this, I do not know.

IC:
"Well,I'm sure when your ready, when the time comes, everything will be arranged."

"There you have it Jeff, you'll love it. Now we'll be back for you."

She led Ri-an down deeper in the caves. They emerged from the water onto the surface. "This dranage area we like to call crystal caverns. The walls are littlered with faux crystals. Aren't they pretty? And they sell like hot-cakes! They may not be real diamonds but hey saves us the controversy of mining, and so-called slave labor. But of course we do no such things. I also like to come down here because it's so pretty and well I like it down here."

"There you have it Jeff, you'll love it. Now we'll be back for you."

I also like to come down here because it's so pretty and well I like it down here."

"It is Rather Relaxing."

"It certianly is. It's my theory every world leader has a place they relax. For me it's the crystal caves, for Princess Tomoyo it's the Shinto Shrines, for other's well some it may be farms, their own house, a school, a garden where ever."

"I simply become one with my world body. I have to on occasion."

"Well I can't do that. So I need to find ways to manage stress."

"Grow magic flowers. Using your magic, just put all your stress into a seed and grow it. Nature is very helpful like that. I once grew a very large flower indeed by doing that, but one of my children quickly outgrew me. As Royalty, your under the most stress, just imagine the stressweed you could grow."

"Hey that's a good idea. I'll keep that in mind from now on."

"Hey that's a good idea. I'll keep that in mind from now on."

Lady Ri-an pulled out a small satchel of seeds.

"There is currently no availible explaination of why growing stressweed is relaxing, or how stress can create beautiful flowers, but the scent is also relaxing, and an entire garden has been known to aid mental patients recover. what do you have pplanned next?" Lady Ri-an asked.

OOC: And if you have nothing planned, then I have a brief scene in mind.

(OOC: be my guest. Glad to see you got your computer fixed up)

"Mm, well I'm afraid that is all I can show you right now. I've shown you every major aspect of our country poltically, culturally, physically. But I do hope you will be back again for the Oka Festival."

(OOC: be my guest. Glad to see you got your computer fixed up)

"Mm, well I'm afraid that is all I can show you right now. I've shown you every major aspect of our country poltically, culturally, physically. But I do hope you will be back again for the Oka Festival."

"Indeed, when is this festival?" Lady Ri-an asked.

Realities are funny things though, full of anomalies, holes, and strange events, that are never really explained.

A field of Red filled the cavern, but it did not touch Sakura.

This side became that side, as The Other Side crossed into Thise Side.
The Other Side, The Mirror, It was all one in the same place. It was The Universe, only everything was the exact opposite of what it was here.

The red contracted and disappeared.

Lady Ri-an seemed okay, but she was diffrent.

Her skin was bronzed and rocky, her lips, her eyes, her nails, they were all Gold. She were Red Dress in the style of the Olympic Gods of Scarlet Red. Her hair, it burned with fire. Hatred and Malice burned in her eyes, as she slowly stood up from the floor.

".won eid lliw uoy ro em rewsnA ?ereh gniod I ma thaw na-iR fo eripmE kraD fo relur eriF fo ydaL na-iR ma I" The strange woman said. She spoke backwards. A sword of Burning fire was pointed straight at Sakura.

OOC: A crossover from the Mirror Universe. She's confused at the moment.
What she said, was "I am Ri-an, Lady of Fire, Ruler of the Dark Empire of Ri-an, What am I doing here? Answer me or you will die now."
Like I said, she's a little confused. Of course, you would be too, in her shoes.

"Milady!" Sakura was against the wall with a sword pointing right at her "Milady what's happend to you, it's me it's Sakura!" She reached for the key that was her staff. But she would need to incantate to summon it.

"Milady!" Sakura was against the wall with a sword pointing right at her "Milady what's happend to you, it's me it's Sakura!" She reached for the key that was her staff. But she would need to incantate to summon it.

The Lady of fire paused, a wave of green fire ran through her hair.

"I must be in the Mirror universe. Why did you cause an Anomaly to summon me here, to what purpose would that serve? Either tell me now or reopen the mirror." The sword was still pointed at Sakura, but not as closely.

OOC: Literally, she came from the mirror universe, a random anomally opened a hole, and swtiched our lady Ri-an, with their lady Ri-an. their Lady is a conquerer and a destroyer. She wants to be back home, in her universe. The easiest way is to bring her a full length mirror.

"But I-i-i D-d-don't know how or why this has happend? I can't willfully manipulate space and time that's a job of a Space Time Witch! I don't know how to open the mirror!"

"But I-i-i D-d-don't know how or why this has happend? I can't willfully manipulate space and time that's a job of a Space Time Witch! I don't know how to open the mirror!"

"Filth. Your weak here too? Remind me to conquer and destroy your nation when I get back on my side of the mirror. Such weakness should not exist."

Then a mirror appeared out of nowhere, and the real Lady Ri-an stepped out.

"You unnatural witch! I'll burn you to ashes!" The fire Lady Screamed. The Real Lady Ri-an grabbed the fire lady and threw her in the mirror portal.

Then she collapsed.

"Stupid, Spacial, Anomaly. Lets pray that's our last encounter with the Mirror Universe." Lady Ri-an said, then she collapsed, out of breath.

Having encountered both Ri-ans, Sakura could feel something she previously could not. The diffrence between the one that belonged here, and the one that belonged there. This one did belong here.

"Because of this, I think maybe we should return to our respective homes and make sure nothing further has happened with the mirror. Plus, I should introduce you personally to the two I promised to get to help you with your dragons once and for all." Lady Ri-an said.

"I agree. Come and we shall return to the palace."

"I agree. Come and we shall return to the palace."

OOC: Nothing more happened with the mirror, at least with you, not unless you want something to. I'm sure you can extrapolate what the mirror is based off Lady Ri-an.

IC:

Back at the tower, in the courtyard, Sakura was greeted with the sight of the lordly nobleman and his wife laying down in her grass, just as comfortable as could be. The stretched and stood up, slowly.

"Greetings." they said with a bow.

"Lady Sakura, You have a problem with Evil dragons. These two are the two finest sources to go to on all things Dragon." Lady Ri-an said.

"Indeed, she is correct. All dragons know me by name, or at least, by sight." The man said. That was quite a boast to make but the reason why soon became clear. The man and his wife showed who they really were, at least in part. Dragon wings sprouted from their backs.

"May I present to you, Bahamut, and Tiamet. King and Queen, God and Goddess of Dragonkind."

Tiamet nodded.

"Indeed, as Queen of all Evil Dragons, and their Goddess I can quite easily order them to cease doing such things like eat villages, burn down the countryside, and other things like that, but it'll cost you." she said.

"Or, not. she'll try to extort you out of your Queendom. the only reason she's here is because if she wasn't, she'd be causing trouble elsewhere. Now, tell me in detail, what trouble with dragons your having. I promise you, we can help. You'll have to do us a favor in return of course, but that's the way these things work, but I promise it will not tax you terribly." Bahamut said.

"Great pleasure. Indeed we have been having troubles with a good many dragons in our most northern mountains. Haven't meat a tamer yet who could deal with them, and they keep burning nearby towns to the ground. I understand you are the best at what you do, so what do you charge for your services?"

"Great pleasure. Indeed we have been having troubles with a good many dragons in our most northern mountains. Haven't meat a tamer yet who could deal with them, and they keep burning nearby towns to the ground. I understand you are the best at what you do, so what do you charge for your services?"

"A simple cease burning? The favor would be small indeed. A simple offering of ten of your fattest Meatiest food animals. However, even if we both order them to stop, eventually, they will turn from us and rebel. Rebels cannot speak, only those that follow us can speak, at all. Even you mage people know Draconic, the dragon language."

"They are mute indeed. They recoiled in fear when I showed them your scale." Lady Ri-an said.

"Ahh, then this is what is easiest done. For a time of 30 years we will dwell here, in your nation, among them. Our presence will force them to adhere to our rule. Within that time, two paths will be taken simultainiously, should conditions exist. Firstly, we will train your trainers. Then you will have the honor of saying you have some of the best trainers in the world.
Secondly, we will bind the power of Dragonkind to the Royal house. Your children, should you have any in that time, will be trained in the powers and wisdom of the dragons, in addition to your nations knowledge and wisdom. This knowledge, power and wisdom will be passed on through the generations, and force Dragonkind, except us, and certain of those chosen by us, to adhere to your word. But beware of over using it. The Royal house must always be trained in these arts for this to work, but then they in turn, may pass the arts on to whomever they wish, in addition to their own children.

The price for this, is a slight dip in the numbers of animals availible to eat. Even we eat on occasion, and we eat alot when we do eat. But we also eat creatures of the deep and the sea, we also hunt in many lands." Bahamut said.

"Well so far people have remained unharmed from the rebelious dragons. But I am fearing that could end at any time, and the last thing I want to hear is some small child was devoured. Yahiko."

"Yes, your grace?"

"I want you to go to each farm and ranch in Magic Sorcery, find their largest most meatiest animals. Pay them an offering 50,000 Sickles per animal."

"Yes, your highness." He turned to leave but Sakura stopped him

"Also, if they will be staying with us, we must give them the proper accreditation and if needed housing."

"Yes." He turned once again, only to be stopped by Sakura

"Make sure the Tamers Guild knows of their presence."

"Yes." He turned to leave but back again

"Don't just stand there, go."

"Yes." He turned to leave but back again

"Don't just stand there, go."

"A house? no, we will live in a nice cave, as we always have. Daily we will visit your tamers, and train them, give them insight to the mind of a dragon. This will allow them to train Rebels much easier." Bahamut said.

They assumed full dragon form. Bahamut was a platnium dragon, the only one. His scales shone brilliantly.

Tiamet was a five headed dragon, consisting of the heads of a red, Green, Black, White, and Blue dragon.

"If you need us, just call. We fly to find a suitable cave." Bahamut said.

They were larger than any other dragon. they flew off towards the northren mountains. People there got to see the Rebel Dragons cower in fear of Bahamut and Tiamet.

Within a day they were settled.

Lady Ri-an Found the time of the Oka festival, and laid plans to return.

Then she too departed.

OOC: What Bahamut was speaking of, the training would give you warriors with the powers of the dragons, called Dragon warriors, or Dragoons. Its not removing an element, just giving you an extra weapon.

Where this goes from here is up to you. There's the Oka festival, there's the dragon training.

Plus, there's the Magiscience on Ri-an itself.
