On my own

[Embyr]

[Only I may roleplay this creature. It's not mine, but ONLY I MOD THIS. Neh! Back off. xD Alright. As many people who want to can join, only one can get this creature...]

A rare dragon, the last of its kind, wandered on its own through the volcano. It was just a baby, although about to turn into an adolescent. It was red with a mane of flames, looking around.

A shapeshifter dragon.

It continued wandering around, although when it saw a patch of dead grass it ran over to that spot and suddenly it was a green dragon with flowers and grass as a mane. It spread its wings out and a single teardrop fell into the grass. Suddenly the plant came alive and it went green again. The dragon sat down and curled into a ball to sleep.

((I really hope he is still available when I come back. D:))

Kyrian stared at the dragon from the safety of a bush. He watched it morph, and smiled. He simply adored dragons, and this one was quite a beauty.. Right now, however, he didn't wnat to approach it. Instead, he had a pen and a small piece of paper he had swiped from a store. He was scribbling random lines, and looked down every once in a while to see the small outlining shape of the dragon. He was having a rather difficult time drawing, since the creature kept changing, but he would just have to deal with it.

Kira sat up in a tree near by, hidden by the leaves. This was the most beautiful dragon she had seen, and she told herself that she must have him. Luckily for her, she had a dragon of her own with her, also the same age, but not the same species. She quietly talked to him telepathically, who was flying overhead, and told him, ~Go and greet the shapeshifter dragon, but please don't scare it off. Just act like you stumbled in on the scene, and be nice to it or else.~ Burn nodded and swirled down a little ways away, then he emerged from the buhes opposite of Kyrian. He approached the other dragon, sniffing it, then sitting down a few feet away and waiting to see if his kind sensed his arrival.

Another day another adventure… Lydia thought with an internal laugh. Her feet moved with easy steps up the slope of the mountain of fire; the Fugeo Volcanoe. It always amazed her the life found even on these dangerous slopes. From the ashes came new life, like a phoenix. Lost in vague thought, she hardly noticed a shape take form on the slope; that of a small pocket of pure green life, in the center of which lay a dragon. However, Lydia realized her inattentive behavior soon enough to prevent error, putting a hand to her mouth to stifle a soft cry. Another dragon, awake stood by it. Realizing that even if the dragon could be befriended, she was probably be too new to the business to have much success at this point, Lydia made no further move to approach it or make the noise to hide. Merely standing just close enough to clearly see what was going on, she stood, waiting for something to happen with interest. For the first time in a while, standing was enough to satisfy Lydia’s hunger for the extraordinary.

[Julia]

Kira, who newly became a Dracus, got an idea and decided to try the special morphing power that all Dracuses have. She slowly morphed into her dragon form, a light blue water dragon, and slipped down the the tree with great flexibility. She also emerged from the bushes, saying ~I'm here now.~ to Burn, and she sat down beside him, watching for the reaction of the shapeshifting dragon.

Hazi yawned as she climbed up Fuego Volcanoe. Aki was sitting on her shoulder boredly.
Why are we always climbing mountains or volcanoes or something? Why can't we just go to Tique Lake? Move left.
Hazi paused, edging left along the cliff before continuing to climb upwards. When she reached the top she sat down, bending her legs up and staring at the scene below. She knew it would be beautiful, but she was blind. She didn't know what it looked like. She wasn't one to feel many emotions- but she might have been a happier person if she could see everything in the world. Then again, she might be sadder if she could see all of the sad stuff, like people dying, creatures stuck inside cages and being treated unfairly. Deciding that she was ok with being blind, Aki suddenly perked up.
There's lots of people up here. Something's going on.
Hazi stood up immediately and Aki had to fly up onto her shoulder as she did so.
"Where?" she asked, staring forwards.
In a nearby sort of cluster of trees and bushes. 4 o' clock.
Hazi turned and felt Aki nod, before moving forwards. She felt a bush in front of her and crouched immediately, while Aki came up ontop of her head and stared at the little baby dragon ahead, crouched on a patch of grass. He already knew what it was. Climbing down her head like a lizard, he perched on her shoulder again.
It's a shapeshifting dragon. They're extremely rare. Like, you have no idea rare. There's only supposed to be one left- and this must be him.
Hazi seemed barely interested.
"Stage?"
He's still a baby.
She nodded. "I don't need him."
What?!? Aki came up in front of her as she went to stand up. She sat back down with a groan.
"Come on, Aki! All the people here are just going to fight over it. I actually feel sorry for it and that's a rare thing. There's no big deal."
Wait! Whoever owns this thing will win easily in almost every battle at the kill arena. They-
"Fine. I'll stay and watch what happens, and we'll see. Maybe I'll take a shot at it. But when it comes to dragons...I never actually capture them unless they're ok with it."
What about that dracus you threw a net on?
"I wasn't going to take it right away." she sniffed. "I would have talked to it first. I'm not that selfish. I know it would be almost impossible to tame a dragon who hates your guts."
She poked her head around the bush, watching the baby dragon as it slept. She immediately recognized the dracus she'd seen before, blinking at it as it tried to gain a sort of friendship with the creature.
"Hmm." she watched, wondering if the baby dragon would wake up soon.

Setting his paper and pen down, Kyrian stared at it for a moment, then morphed suddenly into a strange phoenix. The thing that made it odd was the fact that the feathers were a light blue, not red like most phoenix's. He had noticed the other hunters, and hoped no one would try and capture him, since there was a dragon here. He then leaped from the ground and landed close to the dragon. As he landed he sent out a telepathic message, 'Hi.. I aint gonna hur' you, so don't be 'fraid." He felt weird, being out in the open with people's eyes probably on him at the sudden appearance of a pheonix, but he tried to ignore the strange feeling as he stared at the dragon.

[Julia]

Kira jumped at the sudden apprearence of a strange pheonix. ~I don't know who you are, or what you are, but be quiet or you'll scare the dragon away! Weren't you wondering why Burn and I weren't saying anything yet?!~ She exclaimed at Kyrian, directing the telepathy only to Kyrian so nobody else heard. She bared her teeth and silently hissed at him.

At the approach of the others, Lydia too walked forward to walk past the Dracus, the two dragons, and the odd phoenix. She hung off on the other side of the dragon, not wanting to disturb the creature or get too close to the others; She had no desire to be around too many people, but her curiosity made her want to get a bit closer to the dragon, flowers and grass running down mane-like over the green scales and in the later part of baby-hood.

[Tisari]

Hazi's eyes widened at the sight of a Pheonix- they were amazing. But she glanced back at the Dracus as well- it was probably a fake...or something. This was the last shapeshifting dragon. Of course, everyone wanted it. Hazi was here to watch, but she wasn't about to send in Aki, and the dragon had no intent on trying to talk to it either.
Aki rolled his eyes as more creatures- shapeshifters or dracus', no doubt, gathered around to 'befriend' the baby dragon.
Suck-ups, he hissed telepathically to Kyrian, Kira, and Burn.

'Oh shuttup.' He snapped at Kira before rounding on Haki, 'And you too. For your information, you would be doing the same right now if you have any sense.! It's beautiful...'

[Tisari]

Aki narrowed his eyes at the Pheonix.
You moron. Sure it's beautiful, it's also dangerous. Only a dimwit tries his luck with a shapeshifter dragon. he growled back, and Hazi realised in a jolt, having heard the messages, that the Pheonix was a shapeshifter. She'd always wanted to be one, but she had now decided to become a sorcerer instead...it seemed to have a few more advantages. Being both would be the ultimate decision, but it was too much.

The words stung slight, and he did indeed know he was not the best at hunting, 'Well.. We'll just see who gets him then, won't we?'

[Tisari]

Aki smirked.
I'm not as interested in catching it than seeing someone get what's coming to them. he replied coolly, and Hazi grinned at the little dragon after he'd said it.
"When was the last time you've seen a shapeshifter dragon?" Hazi muttered to Aki. The dragon flicked his tail, still staring out at the clearing.
Several hundred years ago. Back then they were still rare- there were about...8 left I think? Doubt they've changed much. he stated telepathically to her only.
"What happened?"
Nothing really. I was kinda friends with it for a while. We hung out. He was pretty cool most of the time, but he hated humans. Last time I saw him, these people had teamed up to catch him. They all were talking about how they did the most work to get to capturing him and how they should have him. Since they all still had their knives and staffs out, the huge hassle to get him ended up killing him.
"...Oh."
Yeah...

[Julia]

Kira swung around angrily and retorted, ~We have more of a chance of not getting ourselves and this beauty hurt by befriending it instead of catching it by force! I already know the damage dragons can do, since I studied them pretty much my whole life!~ She hissed at them. Then she jumped slighly, realizing that she remembered seeing that ice dragon before.

[/size]

[Tisari]

Try being a dragon for over 400 years. he smirked back at Kira.
And I didn't say at anytime we were trying to catch it by force. he snapped.
Hazi recognized the Dracus- she had tried to capture her earlier. She hadn't brought her other dragon, just the one...Of course, everyone wanted a dragon. Hazi wouldn't blame anyone.

[Julia]

~Well, I don't know why the dragon would attack right away. It's still a baby, so it should be curious, like Burn still is, and he's the same age as this dragon next to us. Besides, if it does attack, I think I can get out of the way fast enough, since I'm part elf and all, and they have fast reflexes.~ Kira replied, narrowing her eyes at the pair.

"If it gets hungry, we'll know who to toss to it." He grumbled in his thoughts, loud enough so everyone around him could hear it, nodding his phoenix head in Kira's direction.

[October]

Though Lydia hadn't heard most of the telepathic conversation, at the new, louder voice, and the movement made by the off phoenix, Lydia figured out that one, the phoenix was a shape shifter, and also the elf he had gestured to must be rather arrogant, rude or otherwise aggravating, though she had to take their word for it, as she had never seen this woman before. Lydia made a mental note to avoid her; best not to tangle with another humanoid if possible, not for real anyway. Silently she cursed herself for not being able to speak telepathically to other humans, making another note to try to learn how at all costs so to avoid these situations where she was left in the dark.

[Embyr]

Suddenly the dragon disappeared. It reappeared on a dead tree, scorched entirely. The shapeshifter dragon suddenly grew until it became an adolescent, the second stage of shapeshifter dragons. It was bigger and longer, losing its baby-like charm and getting a beautiful look to it, with long eyelashes. It switched into a water-asian dragon, resembling Kira. Except the mane on its back was made out of water somehow, rippling in color and shining in the light.
~Will you guys SHUT UP?~ The dragon shouted telepathically to the humans and shapeshifters.

Yep. It was totally a teen.
