OOC: This is completly Closed to just me and Coreworlds. you barge in uninvited by either Coreworlds or myself, you get an ignore.

IC:

Fluidic Space.

Ship O-37268-M. It was an Exploration vessel, despite its classification. It was an Octopus ship. The Aquamarinians came from Fluidic Space. They were born in it, dwelled there naturally. It was the Dry Universe, as they termed normal space, that they were most intrested in exploring. It was full of life, but how, they could not understand, for it was not full of water, as their space was. It wasn't really all Fluid, what it really was, well, no one was ever really quite sure. it seemed like water, but it wasn't.

Ship O-37268-M was swimming through Fluidic Space at top speeds.
Its mission was elsewhere. Beyond the Milky Way Galaxy it was said, was a portal to the Mirror Universe.

Accidents happen though, and whether by design, Accident, or by Plot design, The Gate system to go to Dry Space activated. So it was,

that Ship O-37268-M ended up in the Issus System. The Aquamarinians had no idea who this system belonged to, but the ship came to a complete and sudden halt.

Some continued scanning the local area, but most turned their attention to the gateway system, including the Captain.

If there were any who were sensitive to the thoughts of others, they would feel The aquamarinian Hive mind.

When the Ri-an vessel entered the system, several things happened.

One, its tactical scanners would note hundreds of weapons locking on to the ship within one second and hundreds more in the next second. Jumping into a Coredian system just like *that* is asking for trouble.

Two, a gruff voice, sounding draconic, sent out a message. "Unknown vessel, you have trespassed in the domain of the King of Issus, High Council Member of the Imperial Republic of Coreworlds! State your intentions, now!"

It was clear that Coreworlds was on a war footing, what with large and powerful ships shaped vaguely like dragons and flights of Battle Dragons (ie, actual dragons, with Space spells activated on their scales like seals or arrays) approaching the ship to get a better look, and to shoot it down if necessary.

Three, the Dragons picked up a sense of a hive mind from the Ri-an vessel, and an even vaguer sense of an alien they have not yet seen.

The captain got word of the message, and rushed to the bridge.

"Peace. We are friends, or at least, aquaintences. It was a misfiring of the gatesystem to drop out of Fluidic Space. We are the Ri-anese, we are peaceful folk, we don't want trouble over an accidental systems failure. Besides, if we wanted trouble we'd start it at Constantine. Not here. I believe both our nations signed that, which means offically at least, we're supposed to be friends.

Why don't we just power down weapons and talk about this somewhere friendlier, like perhaps next to a roaring fireplace over a pot of Tea." The Captain said. Of course, his weapons weren't powered.

One of the Tenticles of the ship seemed to reach inside the head part, an pulled out a giant white flag rasied it up and waved it.

"Ah, you picked the wrong time to enter the system. Our enemies can attack us at any time. My apologies." The Dragon replied, seemingly amused at the white flag. "I shall inform the King at once of your arrival. Send down a shuttle or what have you on this landing transponder *sends transponder*. Of course, I highly recommend not deviating from the corridor."

With that, the tracking systems and weapons turned away, and a couple of Battle Dragons waited to escort the Ri-anese down to the planet.

The Octopus ship waited near the transponder.

A Human man, in his younger years, escorted by two white Aquamarinians carried by four arm gareens Transported to the destination.

OOC: You CAN get on messenger you know. I won't bite.

Said destination was the main spaceport of the system, just outside of Draconopolis. There were some looks given to the Aquamarinians but no longer than any other alien species. A speeder-limo rumbled up and out came a servant who bowed low to the newcomers.

"The King of Issus, Lord of the Dragons, sends greetings on behalf of the Imperial Republic of Coreworlds. Please, step in the speeder and we shall give you a tour of Draconopolis before we have the audience with the King." The servant held the door open. The funny thing about the interior is that it appeared to the Ri-anese that it is larger than the outside should indicate, and there is a distinct presence of a magic of some kind that created that space (at least the supernaturally inclined would sense it).

Feeling the magic, the young man gave up the charade of normalcy.

He began to glow, and very nearly turned into a pure mana being. He was of course, Xos, The Grand Magi-master.

"A Tour would very nice indeed." he said.

"Nice show, sir." The servant acknowledged and shut the door after Xos and his cohorts entered. He went over to the driver's door and got in as well.

The limo-speeder started moving and almost immediately, the Ri-ans could see Saurpods looming in the distance.

"If you look to your right, you can see a herd of Brachiosaurs and Diplodocus in the distance. Two of our largest dinosaurs, they are herbivores, eating a hundred tons of vegetable matter a day in order to survive. Their main weapons against their predators is their sheer size and their long tails. As well as the saurpods, you may notice a number of smaller, duck-billed dinosaurs, known as hadrosaurs. This is a form of mutual existance between the two species. The saurpods have the advantage of height so they can warn their smaller friends and the hadrosaurs have an excellent sense of smell, so they too, can warn of enemies that approach."

It was as if a safari has suddenly appeared, even though these creatures are actually in nothing more than their natural habitats.

"We have Dinosaurs on Ri-an. Their on their own Continent though. Couldn't tell you what kinds, I don't think anyone ever took a survey."

"Ah. You could ask some of our wardens for help if need be." The servant said. "Ah, here we come to the Great Seriyuu Waterfall, named after the God of Dragons."

A vast, beautiful waterfall cascaded over a cliff that the Ri-ans could see had a city lying on top of said cliff. It was a city that seemed built for the cliff, having elements of Naboo and Alderaanian architecture visible in some parts.

"Draconopolis, the capital city. Many have considered it a great tourist site." The servant said as they rumbled up the winding road to the city. It seemed to grow in size with every mile, until the city stretched for miles, and yet it still appeared natural to anyone with eyes to see.

"Indeed, it is a great big city. It reminds me of Ravnica, another very large city." Xos said.

"How many Dragon Gods are there? I know the two oldest, Bahamut and Tiamet. But, when they retired, I never had a chance to keep up with the new Kings and Gods that appeared." Xos said.

"We know of Seiryuu, Dragon of the East and Ryūjin the God of the Seas, of whom the Prince is named after." The servant said. "As far as I know, there's no other dragon god that we worship."

"Ah, here we are." A majestic palace with doors wide enough for a 747 to enter with ease stood before them. "The King is inside."

The servant opened the door for the Ri-anese people to exit the speeder and then a large Dragon appeared from the door. "I am the King's Chief of Staff, Kyuoshi. Please follow me."

As soon as the Ri-anese entered, there were paintings everywhere, of famous Coredians and famous dragons. The main hall seemed to take forever to walk through, but eventually, the Chief of Staff lead the group to the Diplomatic Reception Room, adjacent to the Throne Room.

Two Gold Dragons were in the room, each one quite big at fifty feet, but Xos would get the odd impression that they could be much larger if they so wished.

"Welcome. I am King Sarinon, Lord of the Dragons and this is Queen Tamitha, my mate. It is a pleasure to meet you." The King said in a booming, regal voice.

"I am Xos, The Grand Magi-master, I have many more titles, each more empressive than the last, but this is not a contest of who has the better Title. It is also a pleasure, to meet you.

My ship and I were on a course accross The milky Way looking for Wormholes of a certain type, but an accident caused our gate system to pull ous out of Fluidic space.

Now, here we are, and rather than waste this oppurtunity to get to know one another better, it seems to me that we should take this chance we have been given, and actually get to know one another, as friends. We do know of each other, at least informally, via the Constantine agreement.

Only knowing of someone, can of course, lead to distrust, if all you hear is rumors. But, if we really get to know one another, even trade some knowledge, I am sure our two nations can become good friends indeed." Xos said.

OOC: And now I say onto the powers that be, ressurect this small humble thread and let it rise anew, with a shining new Life force!

live my child, LIVE!!!

*Thunder crashes and light flashes. The thread moans and groans like some hell spawned monster and sits up.

It LIIIIVESSS!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I heve used the dark powers of necromancy and ressurected this thread.
I guess what I'm getting at, is Bump for Coreworlds.

"Indeed. Let us begin, then." The King said.

"Indeed. Let us begin, then." The King said.

"Then, let us begin with Location. My home, is in Andromeda." Xos said, causing an image of Andromeda to appear in the air with a little blinking dot indicating Ri-an.

"Where is here?" he asked.
