tune

It seemed to be mostly quiet. The only sound was the soft trickle of running water, birds singing, and animals skittering through the foliage. Currently lounging beside the running brook was a large, pale orange dragon. Running down the beast's head, neck, and to it's shoulders was a blue mane. The mane turned into flexible spines running along the back and finally coming to end at the beast's tail. The light breeze that stirred the grass seemed to cause the long whiskers on either side of the dragon's muzzle to float gently in the air.
Slowly, blue eyes opened, pupils round, calm. A forked tongue flicked out the creature's muzzle, ears twitching slightly. It's head turned, coming to stare into the running water of the stream. The dragon stared at her reflection for several moments, then turned her gaze elsewhere. It was always relaxing to spend her time beside the stream that ran through her territory. What it loved even more was visiting the village where the people worshipped the beast. There was temple dedicated to it and everything. Of course, in return, the dragon would bring rain for the farmer's crops, and life-giving water to the earth for livestock to graze and browse. Also the beast's powerful and intimidating presence was enough to deter any wannabe criminals and other dangers that could prove dangerous to the ones it guarded.
A paw moved, crossing over the other. The spines along the dragon's back were flat, completely relaxed. There was little to nothing that would dare to annoy a dragon anyways. Being at the top of the 'food-chain' so to speak did have its perks. The dragon's ear twitched, relieving itself of an annoying fly. Blue eyes focused on the wilderness beyond the territory the beast called it's own.
Hm, perhaps it would do it some good to go out of the 'comfort zone' a bit, see what else was beyond the borders of its territory. But if it were to do that, who would watch the people that depended on the beast for safety? Well, a small trip wouldn't hurt, as it had left before on minor trips such as it would be taking now.
Slowly, the dragon lifted to its paws, spines glowing ever so slightly. The beast's whiskers flowed with it's movements, graceful and fluid. Without showing any effort, the great dragon suddenly began to lift into the sky. Legs and paws tucked closer to the long body, continuing to lift upwards into the skies. A glitter of scales, and then there was nothing as the dragon took off across the blue sky.

As soon as Met vanished out of his sight, Adohira stopped mid air and landed carefully on the ground, sneaking behind a tree and glancing behind him playfully, like a child in the middle of a game of hide and seek. He may have gotten away from trouble earlier but there was still enough day left for him to play around and while his little trip outside the border had been cut short, he decided to hang around for a little longer, before actually heading back home.

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

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.
