ooc: Just to clarify some more, since we seem to not be syncing very well right now. You did say Yuki walked around them and up to the 'light' and I posted that the other two joined her. So we did move towards the bone somewhat. There was a rustle in the bushes with more giggling. "Stay behind me." Bliss told the two as he unfolded his tail and opened the water, ready to defend at any moment. Venti curled up next to Yuki.

It's bad when we go out of sync and don't catch it for so many posts BIC: Yuki pulled her tail around and covered her face with it, not ready for whatever would come.

A white figure jumped out of the bushes and landed next to the bone with another giggle. Bliss was ready to attack with the water, but Venti grabbed his tail as it started to swing. "Wait!" She shouted. "It's one of them, it's a bone dragon." It was indeed a living skeleton of a dragon, not much bigger than the three of them. The dragon picked up the rib bone and put it back on itself where a bone was missing. It then turned to them with what could have been a smile, accept it was hard to tell any expression on the skull and the teeth was always visible. "You three are far away from home." She said.

Yuki stayed crouched, feigning she'd feinted and desperately wanting to. She didn't even look at the skeleton ahead.

Venti swallowed and spoke up. "You're a skull dragon right?" "It's kinda hard not to be when you're a dragon that's only a skeleton." She laughed. "We came here looking for you." Venti continued. "Why on earth would you do something like that?" The dragon rolled her eyeless sockets. "Don't you know how dangerous it is for dragons out here?"

Yuki's curiosity got the better of her as she lifted her head to look at the skull dragon. Other then the fact that the dragon was in fact intimidating, she sensed no ill will and it was almost disconcerting. She remained crouched down though.

"Yes, but we need your help." Yuki told the dragon. "And there's so much I want to know about you. Like why you didn't want any contact with us." As Venti spoke she got more and more excited. "And if you're still who you are even after what happened, which obviously you are! And what you've been doing all this time. And, and... And my friend, Yuki, really needs your help." She said turning to Yuki.

Yuki carefully raised her claw and waved lightly to the skull dragon, keeping low and giving a strong air of nervousness so thick you could cut it.

"Okay, I'll answer your questions." The dragon told them "But first we have to get you somewhere safe. I'll take you to our home. I'm..." Suddenly the trees split apart and a massive cloaked figure appeared from behind them, it moved as though it was floating in the air and lifted a hand with a dagger covered in dead vines, swinging it down towards the three dragons. "Watch out!" The bone dragon yelled and tackled the three out of the way just in time to miss the dagger.

Yuki was in full panic and wanted so dearly to run, though she opted to freeze since she didn't know where to run to. She called out for Bliss to help them in what was a small terrified squeak.

Bliss quickly got to his feet and put his tail into the water they brought and blow water out of his mouth towards the thing that attacked them. But the figure pulled the cloak over him and although smoke came up where the water hit the cloak protected the creature underneath it. The skull dragon got to her feet. "No, no, no. We have to run. Throw water if you can, but run while you do it!" As Bliss' breath let out the creature's hand shot towards him, but stopped inches before reaching his face. The skull dragon had the creatures arm between her jaws, stopping it. "Run!" She said through her teeth.

Yuki, lost in a blind panic now, took off away from the monster and into the grey unknown wilderness. She was not even able to form coherent thoughts anymore and her heart beat like a drummer on crack. her only goal was to put as much distance between her and the thing as possible.

Bliss was right behind Yuki as she ran off, trying to catch up with her. Venti ran as well, but held back, concerned for the skull dragon. The creature threw the dragon aside with a swing of its arm and then ignoring it flew after the other three. He quickly caught up to Venti who was the closest only to slow down when she shrieked in panic and threw her water bag at the creature who again blocked it with his cloak, made out of dead leaves and bark.

Yuki, already on the verge, began crying as she ran. Venti's shriek sent her heart flying into her throat as she wanted to scream herself. In her head she kept telling herself she can't fight back and she should just keep running, though she also wish so dearly that she could help. Yuki was almost bawling now and felt her little heart might give was with her legs but continued running all the same.

Bliss skidded to a halt when he heard Venti and spun around, but he was already much too far away from her to help as the creature swung its dagger out at the little dragon. The dagger came around and was met in the air by a yellow flash followed by the sound of cracking bone and the knife flying away into the forest. The flash was a yellow lance that blocked the blow and on the other end a very enraged looking Lance. He swiftly brought the lance around for another blow that the creature blocked with its cape that got cut open in the process. This however gave the creature a chance to back away and lift glowing hands into the air, one hanging loose from its arm where the lance broke it, but before the anything could happen Lance breathed out a wall of flame between the creature and them. The flames were taller than the creature and threatened to engulf him before the creature fled back into the forest. Lance stood before his wall of flame. Breathing deeply and looking livid.

Yuki, hearing the commotion behind her, turned her head to look and noticed Lance. She stopped, and while she was a bit away from the group now, though closer to Bliss still, she stopped and watched as the scene unfolded. Still not really thinking, she was deeply concerned for Venti and was looking at her.

"Lance?" Venti asked surprised after things got quiet. She was still in shock and spoke softly, but it didn't stop her curiosity. "What are you doing here?" Lance spun around. "What's wrong with you!? Coming out here and bringing Bliss and Snow with you!? I can't believe you'd go this far! If your dad and Elder Ironbark didn't ask me to come looking for you because they were worried that you'd do something... something... STUPID! Then you, Bliss and Snow would be dead right now! Doesn't that even matter to you!? Doesn't it!?" He screamed at her. Venti looked down and rolled into a tight ball. "I never... I... I'm sorry..." She whispered, tears forming at the edges of her eyes.

Yuki stepped forward, upset that Lance was yelling, "This isn't the time or place! Let's get somewhere safe first!" she yelled at him, her voice still trembling and shaken.

"I agree with your Red friend." The skull dragon said sitting not far from them. "The wraith will be back as soon as it recovers." Lance looked up towards the new voice he hadn't notice before and instinctively launched out towards the skull dragon with spear in claw. The skull dragon didn't even flinch as he came for her, but Venti tackled LAnce to the ground. "No! Don't do it!" Venti told him. "Are you insane! It's one of them!" Lance said powering out from under Venti. Bliss quickly ran towards the two to help Venti keep Lance down. "No. She's one of us!" Venti told Lance. "She's going to help us." "That's enough Venti!" Lance said as he stood with both Bliss and Venti trying to hold him down. "Your little adventure ends here. I'm taking all of you back, no discussion!"

Yuki, more than a little annoyed now, walked up to the Skull Dragon, "Lead the way. Lance won't listen to reason. Come on Bliss and Venti." She said, looking towards her.

"I said this isn't up for debate Snow!" Lance told her. "I may be in training, but I still have authority out here. You have to listen to me!" "Just stop for a second Lance!" Venti yelled at him. "We can explain, we have to go with her." "This isn't a game Venti! You're father send me to come and get you and that's what I'm going to do." Lance countered. "Did he Lance?" Venti asked him. "Did my father actually tell you to come here and bring me back?" "No." Lance said calming down slightly. "He told me to make sure you're safe. But it's the same thing!" "If my father suspected something was wrong he'd have stopped me himself. I may not always make the best decisions, but he trusts me and so does Bliss. Bliss would side with you if he thought I was being stupid. But we have a good reason for coming, just here us out." Lance fell silent, his expression livid, but gave them a chance to explain. The Skull Dragon patiently sat through it all as she waited for them to finish.

"We had no choice but to come out here." Yuki said still a little frustrated but having calmed down herself, "The Skull Dragons are our best bet for helping me." she added, looking to Bliss and Venti for if she should continue.

Lance looked confused before he asked. "What do you mean?" "It's up to you Yuki." Venti said using her real name. "But we could use Lance's help." Bliss nodded at her encouragingly.

Yuki took a deep breath, "This may be hard to believe, but I'm actually a human. I'm not from this world at all. And we're out here because we're hoping the skull dragons can help." She explained, trying to be concise for fear of the wraith coming back.

"You're right." Lance said. "I don't believe you." "It's true Lance, Venti and I was there when she came to our world." Bliss told him. "We saw her world, we saw her before she turned into a dragon." "Humans don't turn into dragons Bliss!" Lance turned on him. "She's a dragon! And even if she was a human she would turn into a skeleton because of the Catalyst." "We know that Lance!" Venti told him. "But somehow Snow has a Dragon Tear inside of her. I think that's what made her a dragon, that's what's keeping her safe. But she wont be able to stay a dragon forever and if she changes back into a human she will turn into a skeleton. We need to get her back to her own world." "There are no more humans Venti." Lance said with a clear tone that this was the final say. "There are no other worlds with humans. Snow can not be a human." "Actually, that's not true at all." The Skull Dragon interrupted him. "You stay out of this!" Lance ordered turning on her now. "Well, obviously you're having a hard time taking all this in and coming to a conclusion." The Skull Dragon replied. "But if you truly are a soldier then the one thing you should know is how dangerous it is out here, especially for young dragons. So you need to decide now. Will you go back to the Ridge? Or are you coming with me to our lair?" Lance knew she was right. "We can't go back yet Lance." Venti told him. "Fine! We'll go with her." Lance said picking up his fighting lance. "That doesn't mean I believe you. I'm going with her so that I can talk some sense into you someplace where it's safer than here." "Great! Follow me! My name's Happy, by the way." The Skull Dragon told them.

"Thanks Happy." Yuki said, following close and watching their surroundings, "I'm Yuki, and this is Bliss, Venti, and Lance, if their arguing didn't already give it away." She said, looking back to each of them. Yuki was much calmer now. She didn't like to be mad, so she tried to focus on other things.

Venti and Bliss followed after with Lance following them begrudgingly. "I'm sure they're just looking out for you." Happy smiled, although her cheekbones unnaturally bending to form the smile was a little unsettling. "It's pretty scary meeting a Wraith out here." "That was a Wraith!" Venti asked surprised. "Yes it was." Lance mumbled.

"Since I'm not from this world, perhaps you could give your take on what the undead are like? Everything I know I learned from Venti and Bliss." Yuki asked, tying to be careful with her questions.

"Then you probably know all the important things already." Happy told her. "It's pretty lifeless really." She giggled. "But we used water on that Wraith." Venti asked. "I thought water was deadly to the undead?" "Yes it is." Happy told her. "Water would melt us away as if we were mud. But the Wraiths have been creating armor to protect itself from water and fire. Thick layers of leafs and branches woven together. The water will eventually melt through it, but it gives them enough time to kill the unsuspected." "Like us." Venti dropped her head. "Pretty much." The Skull Dragon said and turned back to Yuki. "Anything specific you want to know about the undead?"

"Well, what about you guys. The skull dragons. How many of you are there?" Yuki asked.
