ooc: Okay. So we're starting this one differently. You're character starts at the library as a human looking for books on dragons. Why is up to you. She could just really like dragons or school project or whatever. There wont be any loss of her past memory in this story. This Yuki's past as a human will differ from the other Yuki however since there are things about Yuki and Vex' memories I never revealed there. Unless you really, really want to keep the pasts the same I could tell you what I would have revealed, which would lessen the impact once I do, or you could just have her have no memory like the other one, but she wont remember anything during this story. Venti and Bliss will start off parallel to Yuki who is in the library.
Green fluorescent moss gave light to the deep, dark cave. Revealing nothing but a few roots starting to wither, trapped between life and death. There wasn't anything else down there, not even the smallest bug stayed in these caves. Not that the two dragons needed much light to see in the dark, but it helped to keep the creeping feeling of decay away from their thoughts. "Why are we doing this again?" The blue dragon asked with a bored sigh. "To find answers." The energetic green dragon replied as she rounded another corner. "Answers that wise elders couldn't discover across more than a millennia." The blue dragon said. "That doesn't mean we have to stop looking for answers Bliss. If we find nothing, we find nothing, but what if we find something?" "But why down here? Isn't there books you can look through instead?" Bliss asked. "There are pools of water down here right? Maybe they can show us something new. Maybe they can tell us something about the rest of the world." "You're just going to get into trouble again Venti." "I don't see why. I mean I am studying, it's like a field trip." Venti countered. "A field trip into forbidden caves where even the strongest dragon should be afraid of being captured by our enemies." Bliss sighed again.

Yuki had just finished speaking with the librarian, who handed her a slip with some book numbers on it. She started making her way towards the first book on the list, a kids encyclopedia for dragons.
OOC: Hopefully that works.

A tall man with a closed dark brown plaid jacket and brown pants, wearing small glasses and looking very much like a teacher or professor walked past the isle Yuki was in. He had his nose in a large book as he walked and didn't notice her at first, but just after he passed the bookcases his head reappeared around the corner, looking curiously at the girl. "Ah!" The man said turning around and walking up to Yuki. "A fellow lover of dragons I see? Very interesting these stories of dragons, don't you agree?"
"Over there!" Venti said excitedly as she pointed to a pool of water next to one of the walls in the cave. "I was right!" She hurried next to the bank of the pool and blew a green mist over it with her dragon breath. "And it's clean!" Bliss walked up next to her and sat down staring at the pool, not saying a word. "Okay. Now all I need to do is concentrate and see if the water can tell me anything." Venti said sitting down herself and taking a deep breath. "Wait." Bliss calmly told her. "What! What?" Venti asked surprised by Bliss' sudden interruption. "There's something in the water." Bliss told her. He lifted up his sleek tail and what seemed to be one tail at first unfolded into five. One of the tails slid into the water and the water seemed to glow ever so slightly as it did. After a moment the tail came back up, a sphere of water hanging from its tip and inside the sphere a red fang shaped gem that glowed softly. "Ooh! What is it?" Venti asked looking at the gem with amazement. "It's a Dragon Heart." Bliss told her. "A rare gem with magical properties, created by the water because of the power of blue dragons. A gift to the world of life. But you already knew that, it was part of your lessons." "Oh? Yeah, I knew that." Venti said laughing and looking away. "I just never saw one for real. It's not like I don't pay attention in class or something." Bliss lowered the gem back into the water. "Okay! Let's get started!" Venti said and took another deep breath.

"Umm, yeah, I guess..." Yuki said, rather taken aback by the forward nature of this stranger, "I'm just doing research for a school project though, so it's more serious then my normal library visits." She said and looked back to the book again.

"Ah, a school project. Fascinating." The man told Yuki. The man took his glasses off and tapped his chin with them as he thought. "I know! Why don't you try this book." He closed the book in his hand and turned the front towards Yuki. It had a world with a dragon in the center on the cover. The title read: The Lost Tribes. "Lots of interesting stories about dragons in here. Just be careful with it. It's very rare and the only book of its kind in town, maybe in the entire state."
Venti was staring into the pool, her eyes narrowed in concentration. Bliss gave a big yawn and lied down. "I'm still not very good at this." Venti said out loud. "It takes a little time."

"Umm... ok." Yuki said, taking the book as her curiosity got the best of her, "If it's so rare why trust it with a stranger?" She said, turning it to the first couple pages to get the jist of the book.

"I like to help my fellow dragon enthusiasts." The man told Yuki. "Besides, it is a library book and the library is here for the sharing of knowledge." He smiled and reached out to pull a book from the shelf. It was a children's story book about dragons. "Ah, not very realistic." He said tapping the book with his glasses. "But a fun read none the less. I wish you well with your school project." The man said and opened the book he took, put his glasses back on and continued on his way almost just as he had showed up. With his nose in a book.
"I see something!" Venti called out and Bliss woke with a start. "Where?" Bliss asked as he gave a yawn. "It was just there." Venti pointed at the clear pool of water. Bliss looked at the pool and after a few seconds he turned around and went back to sleep. "It was there! I did see something! Really." Venti said with a huff.

Yuki looked up to the man again, a little confused, but hoping this would be a fruitful encounter. She was still short on sources, so this might have been what she was looking for. She continued to skim through more and more of the book, going a couple pages at a time.

"Look! There it is again!" Venti yelled and this time Bliss did look around faster and also saw something in the pool. It was a reflection of Yuki in the library. "It's... it's... no." Venti suddenly gave a few steps back in fear. "It's a human! But that's impossible. Humans are extinct. Do you think it's a vision from the past?" "I don't think so." Bliss said. "The water can only show life not death, remember." "I don't understand. How can this be real?" Venti asked confused. "How can a human be, well, alive? It's impossible."
Suddenly the pages in the book Yuki was holding started turning all by themselves until it opened on the picture of a world. A red glow started forming around the world and then a dragon appeared in it. Suddenly Yuki was being pulled towards the book as if a large vacuum cleaner was sucking her in.

Yuki tossed the book the moment it started moving on it's own and watched as it turned to the specific page. The real panic set in when she started getting pulled into the book and she grabbed for the bookshelf, only managing to grab two books firmly by the spine as she was loosed to the books control. One was the little engine that could and the other was hungry hungry caterpillar. For whatever reason, she clung tight to these books. OOC: Fo no reason in particular, but just because.

ooc: Interesting, but because of the circumstances I can't actually bring those books with her. The pool in front of the two dragons suddenly started glowing brightly. "What's happening!?" Yuki asked in a panic. "I don't know. Isn't this part of your ability?" Bliss asked calmly, but standing up and baking away none the less. "It's never done that before!" Venti exclaimed. "And no one ever told me it would do that!" In a flash of light Yuki disappeared into the book. The two books she held fell to the floor next to the book about the Lost Tribes. The water in the pool lifted up and transformed into a human form which started swirling around until it transformed into a ball. The ball of water started glowing red and just when Venti and Bliss almost looked away from the bright light it burst and Yuki popped out as a small red dragon, landing in front of the two stunned dragons.

OOC: Darn ... Am I conscious? What's my state right now?

ooc: Yes you're conscious. Wouldn't be much point to give you time to post if you weren't.

The little red dragon, kind of woozy from the experience, reached up and grabbed her head. After a moment of being very confused and upset at the old man, it clicked that her hand wasn't running through hair. She rubbed her head a bit more and opened her eyes to look at her hand, which she now found was a claw. And if that wasn't already a shock, she made out the shapes of the two other dragons past her claw and that's when she kicked off and jumped backwards, back into the water.
OOC: Not sure how I can make this realization much different from the first time but still include it because the other time didn't actually happen here.

"Take it easy. Calm down." Bliss told the red dragon. "We're not going to hurt you." "What are you doing Bliss?" Venti asked moving in behind him. "That's a human!" "That has turned into a dragon, I know." Bliss told her. "And it's probably as scared and confused as we are." "But, but... it's human. What if it's dangerous?" Venti said again. "It's alive Venti. And we have to protect all life, even if it's dangerous."

Yuki was breathing heavily, clearly in shock, but at least these drakes appeared to speak English, "What do you want with me? And how'd you get me here?" She depended in a more fearful tone filled with the stress she was feeling inside.

"We don't know how you ended up here. And we want to help you." Bliss said calmly. "Although I'd guess it was the water and Venti's ability that had some cause in what's happening. I don't know how that's possible though."

"And what exactly happened. Why do I have claws, and..." She crossed her eyes a bit, "Why can I see my nose!!" She looked down into the water now, though it was still shaking a bit with her sitting in the water. She was checking out as much of herself as she could.

"It would seem you have turned into one of us, a dragon." Bliss answered. "More importantly, why are you a human!?" Venti asked from behind Bliss. "Or were a human? There aren't suppose to be any humans. Are you a human?"

"Well news flash, dragons aren't supposed to exist either. They're the creatures of myth and fairy tale. Something to be feared and often devious." Yuki said, backing up a bit and weary of the two before her, not knowing their intentions and still trying to grasp her situation.

Post by Bio Plus on Jun 2, 2015 16:39:36 GMT -5
"What!?" Venti said stepping out from behind Bliss, her stubbornness getting the better of her. "The only myth around here is you! Dragons have always existed and I guess we may have been a little scary in the past, but hardly ever devious! And what about you humans who betrayed us? That's a lot worse!" "Calm down you two." Bliss told them. "Let's not get excited. We'll figure this out, but let's take it slow." He turned to Yuki. "I'm Berry Bliss and this is Venti Dreams." He introduced them. "What's your name?"

Yuki was a little upset at first, but was quick to turn her attention to Bliss. She was also hesitant to speak at first, but eventually succumb and slide back once more, "I'm Yuki... Yuki Midorima."

"It's nice to meet you Yuki Midorima." Bliss told her. "Isn't it Venti?" "I guess." Venti mumbled. "We've never met a human before, even one that turned into a dragon." Bliss went on. "It's a little surprising to find out you are real. How about we get you dried up before you catch a cold?"

"Umm... ok..." Yuki said, not liking being wet, "But no funny business, alright? It doesn't appear either of us have good references of the other to go on right now."

Post by Bio Plus on Jun 2, 2015 18:01:15 GMT -5
"No funny business." Bliss agreed. "Besides, right now you're a dragon just like us." His tail unfolded and he let it pass over Yuki without touching her. The water seemed to flow right off her into the tails and when he was done she was completely dry. The blue dragon turned to the pool and spit water from his mouth back into it like a statue on a fountain. The water from his mouth made a rainbow that sparkled in the cave, something he did to try and calm Yuki with the sight.

Yuki was, in fact, drawn in by the spectacle and was happy to be dry once more. She kept a cautious distance, adjusting to be out of tail length, and watched the room shine for a while longer.

Bliss wiped his mouth and smiled. "Now why don't we get out of this cave and back into fresh air. We can discuss what happened here over some food. It's better to be confused on a full stomach." "You're taking a human into the Ridge?" Venti asked surprised. Bliss only turned to look at her without a word. It wasn't a stern or angry look, but a look that told her she already knew the answer. "I know! I know!" Venti finally said. "She's alive and we can't leave any living thing out here. It would be the absolute worst thing a dragon could do. Alright, let's go back."

Yuki followed slowly, keeping her distance and switching from looking at Venti and Bliss to keep an eye on them both. As she walked, she would almost jump every time her tail would hit the wall and she noted how long it was compared to the rest.

Soon they came to a curtain of water that blocked their path. "Finally." Venti said. "At least it will be nice to be back in the Ridge." She walked through the water without a second thought. Bliss looked back towards Yuki and showed her to go ahead.

Yuki was, obviously, hesitant at first and it took a sec for her to finally approach the water. She took a deep breath and jumped through.
