adventures in Time And Relavent Dimensions In Space (Closed)

[Warhaven]

Sam tried on the breastplate, and promptly burst into flames. But that was just the affect of The Breastplate.

"Hmm, Niel Ra makes a fine Breastplate. It's rather archaic in design and usage, but for the age it was constructed for, it is beyond compare. The enchanting is tightly woven, and I genuinely doubt even the Ancients could do better." Sam complimented.

"Mother's enchanting has a flaw I learned to exploit long ago. In private, I'll show you the magic backdoor to taking control of her enchanting, so you can alter and adjust all the properties of the breastplate." Nyx promised.

"Well, you three get home." Pondera ordered.

[The Floor Kippers]

"Good work you three," Carol said.

[Warhaven]

And that same day, a young Dwarf Victoria's age felt honor bound to escort Victoria home, despite no legitimate reason to do so. He'd just started to grow a beard, which he was incredibly proud of, facial hair being socially important to Dwarves. His name was Victor Dreadhammer, youngest son of Thorin Dreadhammer, and the truth was he was secretly fond of dragons in generally, and smitten with Victoria.

"Well, here we are, with no ruffians or other assorted louts to bother you on your walk home." Victor said, not blushing in the slightest, but that's because Dwarves were a rather bold sort. He was disappointed Victoria didn't live further away from Dwarvenholt. But, true to his word, he'd escorted her to the front door of the Amazon Palace.

[The Floor Kippers]

"Thank you Victor," Victoria said, she hadn't actually noticed he was smitten with her yet, because she was always so wrapped up in her work, even when she wasn't smelting and smithing her mind was a whirr with new ideas, the reason she always carried a pencil behind her ear and a notepad in her pocket, "And thank you for stopping me from walking into that tree, I must stop making notes on the move."

[Warhaven]

"Oh, not a problem. You must have lots of ideas brewing up there. You gotta give them release somehow." Victor said. He was rather tall for a Dwarf, and would someday reach 5ft, which was Giant for a dwarf.

"How's about we maybe go out tomorrow and talk about them?" Victor asked, taking a chance and asking Victoria on a date.

[The Floor Kippers]

This caught Victoria off guard, to the extent that she dropped her notebook.


"A-a date? With me?" She asked, blushing furiously, "Tomorrow? Victor, I didn't know you thought of me that way."

[Warhaven]

"I've done everything but paint it across Great Forge." Victor returned. Then he picked up her notebook for her.

[The Floor Kippers]

Victoria smiled sheepishly, still blushing.
"I did wonder why your dad kept telling me you were a fine dwarf that any good lady could be more than happy with," She said.

[Warhaven]

"He was trying to help." Victor smiled.

Jezeel silently stood behind them, smiling.

"Trying to pick up my daughter are you?" She said sternly.

Victor was startled, and turned to her.

"No ma'am, if I was trying to pick her up, I'd already have her above my head. I am trying to secure a date with her finally, hints and other forms of effort in the past ending unsuccessfully. But a beard means I'm not a young lad anymore, I've got to be bold, the beard demands it, so I asked directly, and she has yet to actually say yes or no. But the fact she hasn't set me on fire or run off screaming yet is a good sign." Victor said, and Jezeel couldn't help but laugh.

[The Floor Kippers]

Victoria thought. What time she had spent with Victor at the forge had been enjoyable, she certainly enjoyed his company enough that talking with him didn't irritate her while she tried to concentrate.

"Go on then," She said, "It's a date."

[Warhaven]

"Alright." Victor cheered.

"You can secure a date at Jezeel's if you like. I hear the best chef ever cooks there." Jezeel said.

"Really, where's that at?" Victor said, poor lad had occasional moments of cluelessness.

[The Floor Kippers]

"I'll show you," Victoria chuckled, turning Victor 360 degrees so that he faced the same way he had been, the palace.

[Warhaven]

"Oh." He said. Then it dawned on him who'd be cooking.

"OH!" He said far more cheerily, happy to be afforded the chance to try Jezeel's legendary cooking.

"Well, I've got to get back to the Holt, I've got to get ready, such a high class establishment surely wouldn't accept a grimy dwarf fresh from the forge." Victor said, then ran off as fast as he could run.

[The Floor Kippers]

"Mother, tell me I'm not totally clueless for missing Victor's hints," Victoria said.

[Warhaven]

"You had other priorities dear. You were so wrapped up in forging, and your many wonderful ideas, you couldn't of possibly seen his hints and previous efforts. Being direct was probably his last attempt before he gave up. But now? Now you have a chance to pay more attention to a new project, one that might take a lifetime, forging something stronger than anything you've forged before." Jezeel said, hugging Victoria.

[The Floor Kippers]

"Thanks mom," Victoria said, hugging her mother, "I'm kind of glad he was direct, or I might just have missed him."

[Warhaven]

"Missing when Opportunity knocks is a sure way to end up alone." Jezeel warned.

She turned.

"Now, onto today's cooking lesson for you and all the rest of the girls that didn't learn with Jezebel and Victoria." Jezeel said, going in.

.....

The Burning Sands boiled again, and would continue boiling throughout the night...

[The Floor Kippers]

Victoria followed, eager to become as good a cook as Jezeel.
....
By now The Floor Kippers had trained the Sullivan Radio Telescope array on the Burning sands, just to keep an eye on them.

[Warhaven]

A column shot out from The Burning Sands, and was stopped by Zeta's shield. Then, shockingly, it used The Deep Magic to bypass Zeta's shield. Draconus's shield was in place though, but the shield rippled and parted as the column came through it. It was headed for Earth, the bearing mountains!

[The Floor Kippers]

Defenders began to rush to the location of predicted impact.

[Warhaven]

Sam, Nyx, Draconus, and the rest showed up to join The Earth Gods. It landed, as gently as a feather falling to the ground, a pair of eyes opened in the fire. They glowed rainbows, like Draconus. The fire died, to reveal a single creature, a dragoness, her scales a mishmashed ever-shifting Rainbow, as her eyes settled on blue. No demons, no army, only a single Dragoness.

"Only one? Niel Ra is confident, isn't she?" Sam grunted.

And yet, the dragoness made no move to attack.

"State your business and begone!" Draconus demanded.

[The Floor Kippers]

"State your name, rank and intention," Galador ordered.

[Warhaven]

"I am 24 hours old. What rank could I have? What name could I be given? What intention could I have?" The dragoness said, thoroughly confusing the issue.

"You look as old as Draconus though." Sam said.

"Appearance, is deceiving. Niel Ra told me to come and prove myself, but what is there to be proven, to a woman that is only my mother through technicality?" The Dragoness asked.

"I, am thoroughly confused I have no older sister." Nyx Said.

[The Floor Kippers]

"How were you come into being?" Gallifrey asked.

[Warhaven]

"Don't you know? The memories of this world tell me your mate was told directly by the light. A golden disc of infinite possibilities opened before my mother. Sensing a chance to regain her husband, she took what little of his remains she could, and opened a small gate to the great oceans of magic deeper than any other, where the pearl one makes his home. Love lost a scrap of hair in a previous fight, and this too had made its way to Niel Ra. These three things she plunged into the disc with her own tail. Instead, all she got was me. I have the memory of 2 Million years of life, a life I have not lead, this too I know, for that is the possibility that came to be. The person created, knowing they were just created. Thus by virtue of blood, I am the oldest daughter of Callistra, and Niel Ra. But I am truly only 24 hours old. All I have are memories and experiences, not my parents actual conditioning to unquestioning obedience." The dragoness said.
