Met turned heel and walked back at a quick trot to the border, where he was set to watch for fairies like Adohira. He settled himself down next to a butterfly bush and watched all of the small insects rise from the purple, shiny flowers. Here the flowers never died, thanks to the presence of fairies and other mythical things. The shining of the flowers made Met’s dark hair shine over his icy eyes as he sat and watched the insects land on the buds again. He was supposed to be watching the border, but how hard would that be, right?
Adohira wasted another hour or so visiting his usual places and trying once again to catch at least one of the tiny magical fish that flew around on the air currents that circulated among the trees. When he finally grew bored, he slowly started heading home, slightly feeling sorry he had to end his little adventures earlier today.
As he flew over the small ornamental trees filled with blue flowers near the entrance to the city, a sudden thought crossed his mind and the boy felt around his neck. His choker was missing. Adohira wasn't the type to bother with clothes, but that light black leather strap never left his person, no matter where he went.
He halted mid flight, and turned around, heading in the direction he came from. He figured he must have either lost it on the way here or in the human realm, so if he retraced his steps there was a chance he would find it in no time.
The dragonelle continued to float along in the air. Her body swayed one way, then the other, moving with the air currents above in the sky. Her head tilted slightly, blue eyes scanning the world below. It was always so peaceful within the confines of the clouds, seeing the greens and blues of the earth pass beneath. Now and then there would be the occasional human or other creature wandering the upon the surface, doing whatever it was that they did. She had been around for quite a long time, but she knew of other dragons and creatures that have been around much longer than herself. The dragonelle was still considered to be young for her kind.
An ear twitched, head turning down. She thought she caught the sight of a shimmer. Now, as a dragon, even her variant/species, certain objects did catch her fancy. Her body turned, beginning it's descent to the ground. Front paws touched earth, soon followed by the back. The spines along her back raised upwards, the tips seemingly pulsating a soft blue. Her elegant head twisted back and forth, pupil narrowing slightly, alert. She didn't often venture far from her territory, so it was only natural to be cautious.
The dragonelle's head lowered, forked tongue flicking out to test the air. Her ears swiveled back and forth, listening constantly to the world around. There didn't appear to be any danger or possible threats. Her blue eyes soon landed upon the shimmer her sharp eyes had caught from way above. A strange leather strap was on the ground, she was unsure why it caught her attention. Her tongue flicked out again, catching the scent of fae.
She raised an eyeridge, suddenly mumbling softly under her breath, "Strange, a fae so far from their home? Quite an interesting turn of events…"
The dragonelle seemingly shrugged, lightly using a claw to move the leather strap closer to her form, looking at her new acquired treasure.
Met’s eyes caught sight of a shimmer of blue scales in the bushes through the sunlight. He stood and ventured off, stirring the butterflies again as he moved past them. He peeked into the bushes, shushing his tapping feet and fingers as he watched the big dragonelle sniff at something very small on the ground. He hadn’t talked to them very often, so few times he didn’t know her name. He watched the glint of the scales pulse a slow blue and tilted his head. Curious. He hadn’t investigated much of the forest, so there was a slight possibility there were more dragons, right?
"Now where could i have dropped it?" the Fairy wondered, while looking on the ground, searching for his lost choker. He hovered close to the ground, moving like a dragonfly, rapidly going over all the possible places he had been to in the last few hours. He didn't care if the low buzzing sound made by his wings would attract a god guarding the border, he just wanted to find the small leather strap.
Keeping his eyes on the ground, he didnt notice the blue creature hiding in the bushes

(Yep, he's good, i like this boyo, i really do)
Ouyang Shou, sat in a cave, meditating as the qi around him flowed gently into his dantian. Letting out a deep breath, He smiled.
Greater Enlightenment of the Jin Zun (Golden Exalt realm), finally achieved.
Suddenly his smile turned into a frown as his spiritual sense focused onto a particularly interesting scene.
A god in the mortal realm?
He got up quickly and after equipping his swords, he quickly flew to the scene. Unfortunately, he happened to miss the god but still kept a close eye on the fairy. Gently flying in the air, he happened to see something else, a dragon.
This day is strange, first the abnormal Heavenly qi around here, then the god and fairy, now a dragon?
He watched as the Fairy seemed to search for something, and so he did as well. sending his spiritual sense far and wide, he caught sight of a leather strap hidden in amongst the trees."
Must of flown here when the God descended down…
Instead of flying to it, Ouyang Shou used his qi to take out one of his swords and sent it diving down right in front of the fairy.
(boi this is escalating, i love it so much XD Tho i think the other dragon had the choker :0)
Adohira let out a startled yelp as a polished steel sword appeared out of the blue, piercing the ground in front of him with great strength. The shock made him fall back on the ground, his eyes glued to the shining blade, making a low frequency noise as it vibrated from the impact. The fairy scrambled a few feet back, trying to get away from the metal's menacing aura that made his skin crawl. Despite his fascination with humans and their world, he still feared iron greatly, like the rest of his kind. He had tried getting over this fear in the past, but after failing and burning himself, he had learned that man's weapons were not to be messed with.
The shock slowly wearing off, the boy got up on his feet, slightly shaking and feeling his knees weak, but trying not to panic.
Met jumped in his spot at the appearance of a large sword, hurrying stealthily past the dragon so he could observe the fairy and the sword. The sword was made of metal, a Human metal, so surely a Human couldn’t be here, in the forest of mythical things.
“Psst!” Met suddenly hissed, beckoning the fairy from the bush as he ducked down to hide his tall form. He had no idea what was going on, at all, but he was open to try and help.
Hearing the hissing coming from the bush, the boy turned his head and, spotting the familiar face of the god, he scurried over, still looking a little pale.
"Met" he whispered, his voice shaking a little. "Met, what is going on? why did a sword fall out of the sky? And why in front of me?"
He snuck close to Met, hiding behind him. "e-e-ey, what's that over there?" he asked, pointing towards the blue dragon close to them. He squinted a little, lightly tilting his head. "is that a dragon?" he said again, this time with clear traces of excitement in his voice
The dragonelle simply brought the leather strap closer, letting it weave in and out between her claws. She seemed to be rather pleased with her new finding. Her ear twitched; footsteps, flutter of wings. The beast lifted her head, blue eyes glowing even brighter, pupils narrowing into thin slits. The spines along her back and tail instantly flared up, pulsing bright blue. Her pale orange scales glittered ever so slightly in the sunlight that shown down from the sky above. Her forked tongue flicked out, testing the air.
A fae, a god, and now, from what she could tell, a human? She really went a lot farther from her territory than she thought. The beast lifted to all fours, a deep growl suddenly coming from her. Her gaze landed upon the trees and bushes of the nearby forest. Those piercing blue eyes seemed to stare directly where the noise was coming from, as if seeing the very ones who were within the confines of the green foliage. The growl continued to come from the great beast, sounding like a growing rumble of thunder.
The sound of metal, followed by a shimmer, a sword. Instantly, the dragonelle felt threatened, danger. Her lips curled back, showing sharp fangs. The growl grew louder, turning into a low snarl. The whiskers on either side of her muzzle twirled, swirling up and down as the agitation of the dragonelle grew. A sword, a weapon, danger, so much could go wrong with just a simple action.
"Who is there," her voice was a loud snarl for whomever hid within the forest. Wisps of blue flames escaped the giant maw, "Let yourselves be known! Are you friend or foe? Or will I simply be forced to deal my claw?"
Well, she couldn't really say 'hand', as she didn't have one…currently. She had a human form, but only really used it when amongst, well, humans, or needed to fit in a smaller space her large form couldn't exactly squeeze into.
Ouyang Shou flew towards the ground, landing onto the ground gently on his feet. The qi around him, physically materialised as it circled around him like a snake. From its thickness and ferocious aura, one could tell that the cultivation of him was pretty high compared to the weak cultivators these days.
He did not ascend back to heaven? He thought surprised.
His footsteps, brought cracks onto the ground as each step brought a gentle sound of peace. Grabbing the sword from its cage by using his qi, it floated in the air as it seemed to duplicate itself by the millions.
They then slowly turned themselves to face the god as Ouyang Shou opened his mouth.
"State your name and what you are doing here godly being" He said, his voice serene and calm.
((Wo de tian my dude, i love those ideas, recommend me sum of dem chinese novels u readin? :D))
The actual god tensed in the bushes as he stopped beckoning the fae and shoved his hand in the other’s mouth as he just kept blabbing. It was obvious the pair of them were something of in danger from this Human person. He snuck around so he was behind the dragon, crouching as small as he could go. His mind and his heart were racing as he watched with his icy eyes, biting his lip to stop himself from calling out for help from other gods. But he had to trust this dragon, right? It was big and scary enough.
Adohira blinked in confusion when Met covered his mouth. He had never seen the god so tensed before, in all the days they've known each other. Well, he couldn't say he knew Met too well, the man was fairly new on the job and he had only met him the handful of times he was caught crossing the border into the human realm, but beside that he really didn't know anything about the god.
He quietly followed the god as he sneaked behind the great blue beast near them. He had never seen a dragon so up close before, so his eyes were glued to the creature, studying its shining blue scales and graceful body, his entire being in awe of the dragon's aura of might and beauty. He bit his lips, his wings twitching a few times when he finally noticed the fourth figure nearby, holding the sword.
A human. An armed menacing human.
(Renegade Immortal is a book i just started to read, A world worth protecting is another good one and it has comedy.
There are some other books but you may or may not like some of their genres.)
"Answer God" Ouyang Shou said, the sword energies inching closer every second.
He isn't deaf right, A thought came to mind but he quickly shook his head at the absurd thought.
"How rare is a god, many would want their body, so I urge you to quickly answer otherwise," He stopped at the end, his eyes staring at the being.
Truly a fantastic body, excellent for producing Cultivation pills without any side effects.
Ouyang Shou sent his Qi energy towards the three, circling them like a vulture.
((whoa there, now thats interesting, i like where the guy is headed >.> Thx for the recommendations))
Her head swayed back and forth, eyes flitting constantly between. The spines along her back remained fully flared upwards, pupils thin slits that were nearly lost in the vast blue of her gaze. There were 2 behind, the fae and god, then in front was the human. The dragonelle's lips remained curled back, showing sharp fangs. At the moment, the ones behind her didn't seem to be holding any hostile energy. The air that surrounded them was more so seeking to escape, escape the gaze of the man. To the dragonelle, they were not considered to be the threat, at least for now. Should one wrong move on their behalf, and she would see them also as enemies, but so far as long as they remained placid, she would do them no harm.
Blue eyes shifted back to the man. The human she felt was the largest threat, weapon drawn and some energy which now seemed to be circling around them. Yet the dragonelle didn't seem bothered, she had her own abilities.
The dragonelle's lips remained curled back, voice a calm growl, "You really are unaware of whom you stand before human. To test a dragon or dragonelle is something I advise against…less you truly have a deathwish."
The whiskers on either side of her muzzle swirled as the air around her seemed to grow heavy, letting her own power be known to those around her. Those blue eyes seemingly pierced straight through the human, as if looking straight into his soul. The blue flames continued lick at her muzzle, as if getting ready to release the very flames from within the confines of her powerful form.
Ouyang Shou smiled coldly at the dragonelle,
"Don't think I don't have ways to deal with you…." He said in the draconic tongue.
He then focused his attention on the other two. The sword energies that had once been a few metres away now were right at arms reach, all aside from a few that had found themselves pointing directly at the god's kneck.
Now, Ouyang Shou had pulled out his other sword, a masterpiece. There was a direct contrast of aura when compared to his other sword as the newly appeared sword gave off a gentle, kind and peaceful aura. Coupled with the other sword, Ouyang Shou gave off the temperament of a dignified emperor.
If the monkey sage can go against you, so can we. He thought as he gave it a twirl.
(The monkey sage is a Chinese mythological character who went against the heavens. He was also called The Great Sage Equal To Heaven.)
Met ducked away and backed up behind a tree, near the bush he had been admiring. He hid his tall self and looked around for help, his cheeks flushed with fear. He had never been under a threat before and he didn’t think he liked it, much. He scaled the tree with slight difficulty and perched himself up into the heart of it, keeping himself as balanced as he could among the branches. He tried to calm his racing heart as he watched the swords turn up to follow him. He didn’t like this at all.
With Met now hiding in a tree, Adohira found himself all alone. On one side there was the big blue dragonelle snarling at the human, on the other side he had those multiple sword energies pointed menacingly at the god; what could he do?
He didn't possess great magic, nor was he capable of facing the human, who had pulled a second sword out. The human's cold glare coupled with his menacing aura and the two shining blades of the weapons made him uneasy. Everyone around him was so tense, it was too much.
"uuh, excuse me Mr. Human, sir" he started, his voice slightly weak, but trying to sound calm. "Can you please not threaten everyone here with umm, those weapons of yours? We weren't doing anything wrong, no one was."
He slowly got up to his feet, taking a few steps back while holding an arm out towards the man, in a defensive manner, his wings extended half way and rapidly twitching, prepared to dash away should things take a bad turn.
"Also, please don't do that to my friend, he doesn't like it" he continued, pointing at the god in the tree, whose pale color betrayed the fear concealed behind the calm expression
(you know of Sun Wukong * v *)
"A sheltered fairy are you" Ouyang Shou said coldly as he made the energies surrounding the fairy disappear.
"How weak are you, abandoning mortals to live in pain while you hide behind the border" He said as he stared into the fairy's eyes.
I should probably consider the consequences of killing a god and my cultivation is rather weak. Shou thought before very annoyingly letting him go.
"Be lucky my cultivation isn't powerful enough to fight the rest in heaven…" Ouyang Shou said unwillingly.
He then turned his attention to the dragonelle.
"Well they are too insignificant or their status is too powerful to harm, but I really can't say that about you." He said in draconian tongue while smirking coldly. The sword energies then reappeared, this time facing the blue beast.
(Course i do,)
Insignificant? I’m not insignificant… Met thought indignantly, frowning heavily. He was the God of Thought and here he was hiding up in a tree— albeit a very pretty tree— No! I can’t get distracted. He hopped silently down from the tree (as silent as he could) and landed with a soft grunt. He hid behind the bushes and cleared his throat a little. He didn’t know what to do or say, but he didn’t want this dragon to get hurt. Well, if that was possible.
Her ears twitched, listening intently to the world around her. Movement, behind her. Seemed the god being had retreated to the safety of the trees, the fairy close behind. That was fine, that would mean there would be less between her and the major danger before them. The god and fairy she still considered not the greatest of threats, for they hadn't drawn any weapons or shown any hostility whatsoever. This man, on the other hand, had drawn his sword, calling upon that strange energy.
Her own blue eyes were piercing, pupils remaining thin slits nearly lost in the vast blue. The beast's tail began to lash back and forth in a frenzied manner, the spines along her back fully flared, tips pulsing bright blue.
"You are either brave, or foolish."
The dragonelle's head lowered ever so slightly, ears laid flat back against her head, "Let it be known man, if you could even spill my blood and leave my body cold and lifeless, the village I guard will come searching, but it is not them I would worry about…"
Her voice lowered into a dangerous growl, "As a beast of my power and standards, I have connections to others much older and more powerful beings than all here."
It was true, despite being in her 2,000's, there were indeed beasts and other dragons much older than her, some whom have even forgotten their own ages due to having such long lifespans, or perhaps not even being able to die…
"Sheltered fairy…?" the boy whispered to himself, being slightly confused by the man's words. What did he mean by 'hiding behind the border and abandoning mortals to live in pain'? He didn't understand. First, the rule system was the one who forbid him to pass to the other side or interact with humans and now this guy was shaming him for hiding behind the border like some sort of coward?
"But… I'm not hiding at all" he said, starting to walk slowly towards the human, his fear being slowly replaced with curiosity and intrigue
"The world inside the border is the one not letting me go, isn't that right Met?" he turned his head around towards the tree, looking for the god, but blinked a few times in confusion when he couldn't see him.
"Met? Where did you go?" he questioned, turning his back on the man to look for the missing Met. "Strange, where did he go?" he thought to himself before turning back to face the human, now only a few feet in front of him, talking with the blue dragon behind him. Being a magical creature himself, he could understand most dialects used by other magic species, so when he heard the word exchange between the two, he tried walking between them, arms reached, trying to calm down the atmosphere.
"No need to fight please, no need! Can't we all just calm down a little and talk it through??" he squeaked, keeping an eye on both to make sure he wouldn't get caught in the middle if the two eventually did clash. "There is no need to- is that my choker?" he interrupted himself, noticing the black leather strap near the dragonelle
"Don't think that as a cultivating human, I too don't have connections. One for the most part is the ancestor of the Ouyang clan. A Ta Tian 踏天(Heaven Trampling) being who is still alive." Ouyang Shou said to the dragonelle.
" And the part where you say that i'll leave your body dead is laughable. You should know that a dragon's body parts and fire gland is incredibly valuable, perhaps then I can set up my own sect." He said coldly.
Heaven Trampling realm, when someone is even stronger than a god or the most powerful beast. It's a pity I'm not that talented enough to have reached it by now.
Ouyang Shou ignored the boy as he continued to look at the dragon.
((This is giving me MTXT novel vibes, all the god and cultivator thing :'D))
