"I am not your dear." Artic snapped furiously, feeling the ability to keep a hold on her humanoid form slipping away. She took a deep breath, and managed to keep in her humanoid form. Her hair rippled down her back, the tips waving beside her hips.

Nzerec smiled and said, "Of course not...but still that behavior of your is rather unpleasant on an old dragon's ears..." Rath growled but soon stopped as he was glomped on by the little black dragons in humanoid form. Rath laughed and tickled the children causing them to scream with happiness as they yelled, "Master Rath that tickles!"

"Fine." Artic growled, hands on her hips. Her nails were long and sharp, coated in ruby-red. "What did you want to talk about?" She asked, curiousity getting the better of her. She cocked her head slightly, and immediately kicked herself inwardly for doing such a thing; a youngling's action. "I am Artic_Wings , but everyone calls me Artic." She introduced herself, bowing her head swiftly. She gazed around, in awe at the many dragons, all in humanoid forms, that surrounded them. She suspected there was many more, presumably hunting...

Nzerec smiled and bowed saying, "It is good to meet you Artic Wings...I am Nzerec. And you've probably met my son Zezrath." Rath looked up as his father said his name and said stiffly, "My name's Rath father..." Nzerec chuckled and said, "Yes...anyways Artic I would like to ask why you were traveling through our lands, isn't Spirit(Artic's clan leader) taking care of her pack?"

Artic drew back, growling at the name of her pack leader. "She mated with a demon, and their offspring drove us all out. We are all lone dragons now." She informed him, drawing a deep sigh. "The others also seperated, and my sister was lost. I believed she was taken by this pack, and so I came here, wondering whether she was here or not. It was said that she was tortured in these packlands, and I sought revenge, thinking her dead. Tell the truth, has a female dragon dubbed Skye entered the pack, or been tortured?" She asked, her voice cold again.

Nzerec shook his head and said, "No...I'm sorry. Rath might know, he's my eyes and ears throughout our lands...but he'll not speak with you until he trusts you." Rath was further away from Artic and his father. Smiling he was tickling the many young dragons who had brought him to the ground...

Artic sighed, but a strange light entered her eyes. If her sister was here, held captive, then her best chance of finding her was to enter the pack, wasn't it? She took a deep breath, and forced her voice to sound pitiful, before speaking, "I, a lone dragon fae, wish to enter your clan. I would serve you always, and would tolerate anything. I only ask of you to join..." Her voice was as humble as she could force it, and she hoped the male would allow her to enter...

Nzerec watched her silently, pondering over something before he said, "Very well...however you must reside with my son..." Upon hearing this Rath looked at his father in surprise, in the blacks culture to have dragons 'reside' with each other meant to make the two possible mates. Blushing Rath stood and walked off further into town as the younger dragons hoped around him saying, "Rath's gonna have a mate! Rath's gonna have a mate!"

"Reside?" Artic queried, confused. She watched as Rath walked away, followed by the younglings. The word mate struck home, and she blinked several times. "Uh-mate?" She asked, tilting her head. She needed to clear her auds, thats what she hoped, anyway. "I don't even know him." She stammered, feeling her nails lengthen. She fought the urge to turn into her dragon form and attack Nzerec, but managed to calm herself.

Nzerec nodded and said slowly in a slightly pained voice, "Rath has a dendency to shun older dragons away from him, I was just hoping maybe you could thaw the ice encasing his heart. It is just a father's wish...I am concerned about him when not with the children he grows cold and distant...but for now you must stay with Rath until I can find you a place of your own. Welcome to our clan Artic..." With that he turned, shifted into his powerful dragon form and flew off. Nzerec was as deadly looking as black dragons came and his body was adorned with various sharp spikes...
Rath finally stopped only to be questioned by the younglings. He smiled and said, "If I tell you a story will you hatchlings go about and talk to others?" The younger dragons nodded and sat down eagerly to hear the story. Rath tiled his head and asked, "Which story shall it be my friends?" The young dragons burst into yells as they yelled out, "The War of the Souls!" "The Battle of Firerec!" Then one of the littler dragons said, "Why not the story of Kiszar and Julec?" Rath smiled and said, "The story of Kiszar and Julec it is..."

'Great' Artic thought bitterly. An icy female supposed to thaw the ice from a male's heart. "And anyway, he would never love me." She muttered under her breath, shifting effortlessly back into her dragon, natural, form. She spread her white wings and took off into the air, watching Nzerec. She decided to find Rath, if she was going to 'reside' with him, she should at least get to know him. She flew along, skimming the tree-tops, before she saw him. Surrounded by the younglings, she realised she felt nothing for him. So this was not going to be the greatest of ideas, putting her with him.....

The younglings sat down in silence as Rath began, "Back in the times there lived a great black dragon named Kiszar, he was a great warrior but he shunned away other from himself hiding his heart in ice so he would not feel the pain of love or heartbreak. One day a white female came into his lands searching for her lost brothers, and hoping to find her brothers she joined the pack of the blacks. Kiszar's father was the leader of the pack and he had the female stay with Kiszar. Slowly as the female got to know Kiszar his heart warmed towards her and one day he learned her name. Julec. The two became close friends and did everything with each other until one day Kiszar confessed his love for her to Julec. Julec was stunned by the news and Kiszar afriad he had done something wrong fled from his pack and was never seen again. Julec soon died after from heartbreak because she loved Kiszar dearly but couldn't find the words to say that she did." The younglings shouted and hugged Rath thanking him for the story before running off leaving Rath alone. He smiled and watched the young dragons run off...

Artic listened to the story, and watched the younglings run off. Seeking her chance, she swooped down, and stared at him for a long moment. "Hi." She aknowledged him, bowing her head stiffly. She tilted her head slightly, studying him carefully.

Rath looked at her and said, "Oh...hi..." His eyes had shifted from a warm amythest back to the cold they once held. He stood and said, "You need not bow to me, your one of my pack now..." He shook the hair from his handsome face and asked, "Why would you join to find your sister?" Strangely enough this all was beginning to sound like the story he had just told, and that in it's self...scared him because if it went the way this was heading he would fall in love with her...Rath waited for an answer his eyes warming slightly as he thought, *At least if I do fall in love with her...I won't...I won't be alone anymore...*

"Because my sister and I were seperated. We were...very close." She murmured, dropping her eyes as they filled with hot tears...
