Dragon Rider RP (Open, please ask to join)

Aurelius let Nox walk beside him. She restlessly unfurled her great wings, then folded them back.
"Want to go on a ride? Or scout?" he asked.
"Perhaps." Nox replied.
Aurelius nodded. "Okay. I'm not busy."
"I know."
Aurelius stroked her head, and they went back into town.

Once again the massive horned head lowered. Cain easily jumped upwards, coming to once again stand tall upon the dragon's head. With an unspoken word, Jun stood. Great read wings unfurled fully from his sides, head lifting as sunlight danced across red, black, and gold scales. The dragon crouched low to the ground. He rocked his haunches a bit, then leapt upwards. In several sweeping wingbeats, the massive beast was airborne.
Once again his great shadow covered the village for several moments before disappearing, allowing sun to shine down. Jun's wings beat the air, causing a crack like thunder. The giant beast tipped his wing, heading towards another mountain. When they preferred their solitude, they made sure it was kept. The man and dragon living side-by-side in a cave, far from any kind of civilization. It was a feat in itself to actually find a cave which could accommodate Jun's great size, but they had managed.
Cain remained standing on the dragon's head, even as the wind tore past. The strong currents of air tugged at his cloak, threatening to tear it from his form. The man glared straight ahead of him. Yet, the cold air was comforting in a way to him. The sky was an escape, not just for dragons, but humans as well. Though in different ways and forms.
Cain's choice, standing atop his mount as the giant, red dragon moved through the sky. The wind rushing past was almost calming. He slowly started to close his eyes, but jerked them open again. The male sighed, finally speaking in a soft voice.
"Let's head back home Jun…I've had enough 'socializing' for the day."
The red dragon only released a soft rumble in response to his rider. The beast seemingly picked up his speed. Though he was nowhere near as fast or maneuverable compared to smaller, lithe dragons. Hardly any dragon back in the village compared to his size, Jun considered to be the largest since if it came to it, he could very well carry a few smaller dragons on his back if the need were to ever arise. The dragon continued his course to the mountain, home.

(Idk if this RP just died, but it did actually give me a better idea for the world that I was trying to create a while back, so we'll see if I can start writing again.)

((OOC: I'm still around. Was really enjoying it))

(Okay, sweet. Maybe we just need something to push the plot forwards.)

(Yeah, that was mine. Most normal people hate dragons, so it was sort of a prophetic thing. Maybe the village gets razed, and either a. our group is the only known group of survivors, or b. there are more survivors, but they're sent on a quest of some sort. I'm not sure about the final goal. It could be interesting to have some central bad guy/evil society that is perpetrating the thoughts that all dragons are evil, too.)

(Sweet. Yes, let's do that. Let's see if anyone else comes on before the drama happens. I'll have Aurelius and Nox go visit the elders.)

((OOC: Well, if you need an evil Dragon Rider, I think I have the perfect character. Also would work with Cain's background))

((OOC: Actually, he wouldn't be a Dragon Rider, he's a Dragon Slayer. Mixed up two of my charries lol. This is him: Eliam Dragonblade))

(Oh, really? That's a great idea!)

(Yeah, for sure.)

((OOC: I will more than happily bring him in then ^^. I have way too much fun playing evil characters))

(Great! If anyone else wants to make evil characters, I may consider having them be in league with your bad guy)

Aurelius looked at Nox. "You know what? I changed my mind. We're going to go see the elders. Your dream greatly worries me. Come on."
Nox snorted in disbelief. "You really want to?"
Aurelius nodded. "I think it means something. You're rarely wrong in predictions. Besides, what you saw would line up with the unrest we've seen recently. It's definitely a possibility for the near future."
He led the way to the city's main hall.

Aurelius saw Dawn following him. He didn't say anything. He just looked and kept walking at his brisk pace. He had to tell the elders what was happening.

(If things work out, and you agree, I'd kind of like to pair up Charlie and Aurelius. I noticed they both like guys (Aurelius is pan, but you get the idea), and they're both ace, and honestly? That's one of the first times one of my ace characters has ever had someone who seemed compatible in that way, so if you wanna ship them later, I'm down.)
Aurelius then saw Charlie out of the corner of his eye as he was opening the door to go visit the elders. He wondered what business he had with them.

Aurelius left Nox waiting outside, walked into the building, and requested to see the Elder Council. The man sitting near the entrance laughed.
"What do you want, child? Coming in with another one of your hunches or doomsday prophecies?" he asked mockingly.
Aurelius bared his teeth. "Not mine. My dragon's. And they truly can see snippets of the future. Look. If our village gets destroyed, and no one is warned, it's your fault."
The man sighed and let Aurelius enter a back room where the council sat, sharing stories over a cup of tea. Aurelius bowed deeply, unhooking his sword and laying it down in front of him.
"Elders, I come with an ill-foreboding prophecy, of sorts. My dragon, Nox, had a dream, which, as all of you know, is rather unusual for a dragon. She says that in her dream she saw this village being destroyed, and dragons killed. If that does not suggest impending doom, then I'm not sure what does."
A few of them laughed.
"Like you haven't led us astray before! You constantly speak of doom and destruction, but look at us! We've been fine all these years," a woman cried out.
Aurelius rolled his eyes. "How short-sighted of you. You may be the elders, but just because you've lived longer doesn't mean you can knock down the ideas and legitimate concerns of those younger than you. Just because someone predicts the future or guessed what could happen next doesn't make it the near future, and just because it isn't the near future doesn't mean you shouldn't prepare. You've seen what's happening. You've heard what those who have been on patrol say, and you know of the tensions. You can't keep ignoring this problem, especially not now that a dragon has made the prediction that something bad is going to happen."
"Aurelius, you are every bit as paranoid as your parents and that sister of yours were. Go home and do something productive."
"You're wrong!" Aurelius snapped, "Don't bring my family into this!"
"All in favor of hearing him out?"
One elder raised her hand, but all of the others gave him varying stares of disapproval.
"You are dismissed."
"When your people are dying, they're going to pin it all back on you if you make it through the carnage," Aurelius told them, "I hope you see the error of your thinking before it's too late to save your people."
He took his sword back up, then walked out, his head lifted high and his shoulders back. Aurelius could not afford to show how he really felt in front of them. He left the building and came upon Nox, who asked how everything went.
"I don't wish to talk about it," he muttered, stroking her neck so that he could calm himself.

The great red dragon suddenly pulled up into a hover. His yellow eyes glowed brightly, the pupils thin slits that were nearly lost in the vast yellow. Jun glared backwards to where they had left the village. He emitted a low rumble sounding like thunder.
Cain felt his dragon pause in flight, hovering in place. The man also felt it. Amber eyes glanced backwards. His arms remained crossed in front of his chest.
"Jun…"
~You sense it too, don't you Cain? It seems your blade will be forced to be drawn once again my friend~.
The man seemingly grimaced at the thought. As much as he disliked it, he had a feeling his dragon was right. Cain only drew his blade anymore when it was absolutely necessary, for reasons. Even then, he hardly killed anyone or anything, only always aiming to incapacitate. His past a contributing factor to this 'change'. However, old habits die hard. In the back of his mind, the darker parts, he longed for the chaos of battle. Cain wanted to see armies, and watch them fall before him. He wanted to hear his blade sing once again, crying out for bloody vengeance.
"…Go back Jun. I will regret it if we do not…be swift."
The giant dragon's body twisted in one smooth motion. Red wings quickly started to thrust him forwards, carrying him across the sky. Jun's yellow eyes fixated on the village in the far off distance now.
~Cain, he will be there. I can sense his presence. You know who I speak of, a name many dragons have come to fear. Some more so than others. Will you be able to control yourself~ Jun glanced back out of the corner of his eye, waiting patiently for his rider's response.
Cain was completely silent. He slowly lifted his head, the wind sweeping back his dark hair. The man held a solemn expression, but there was also a strange glint in his eye, shifting to bright yellow like his dragon, "I am unsure…but you know what to do if things get out of hand…"
The red dragon only gave a silent nod.
—————————————————————————–
The figure stood a good distance from the village, looking down upon it. A cruel smile appeared on his face, his gaze hidden under a helmet. Behind him, stood a group of men, all dressed in the same armor as the leader.
"Rather amusing how they think they can hide so easily in a valley. Usually things that are lost, have a likely chance of being found again."
A voice suddenly hissed in his head. The strange armored male held up his hand, speaking more to himself, since he appeared to be the only one to hear the hissing voice, "Yes, yes, I know. The dragons will all perish…ooo, how interesting. He will be here too soon? Ah, it's been awhile since I've faced that fool. He was such an easy tool, pity he had a change of heart. Well then, shall we get started?"
As if on queue, the men behind him mounted their strange mounts. No, they were not full-on horses, the beasts seeming more like crosses of wolves and deer. Either way, the creatures were terrifying. A horn seemingly sounded, announcing the start of the attack. The men on their hideous mounts instantly swept forward towards the village.
As for what appeared to be the leader, he mounted his own beast. However, he followed behind at a slower pace, clearly enjoying every moment. He lived for the death and destruction. He could care less if they were innocent or guilty, hell, he didn't even care if they were human or even dragon. The figure only wanted to see the fall of those before him.

(I haven't done anything……………….sssoooooooooooo…………………………..)

(Alright, we can still find a way to get you into this RP. I think everyone is sort of scattered right now, a lot of them are near the hall of elders.)

(Honestly, right now, you could probably have your character observe what's happening and walk over.)
