14 - fury of the night - action

[forbiddenfriend]

[Along all the other miscellaneous spooky noises and mysterious happenings, there's the sound of soft scratches on the floor. You might move closer, or farther away, but either way, it stops. And then, in the darkness, just out of light's reach, there's a pair of bright yellow eyes. If you come closer, it goes away, before coming back in another spot. If you move away, it seems to follow you.

After some time, the eyes disappear, too, and there's a very eerie silence where it seems the thing haunting you must have left.

And then you turn around, and holy shit it's a dragon.

Actually, there's been a dragon here for the past seven months or so, but it looks like some people will have to find that out the hard way.]

[Stalking mode is go.

Have fun with the scratchy sounds and the eyes in the dark, Gold.]

[billiardsplz]

[he'll catch a flash of those eyes before they disappear]

...What in Ho-Oh's name...

[forbiddenfriend]

[There's a light scratching against the floor, and given the castle's tendency to make things scarier then they seem, the sounds are echoing against the hallway, both making the scratching seem louder and belonging to something heavier than it seemed, as well as making it sound that there was more than just one. Almost as though he's being circled by a bunch of monsters.]

[billiardsplz]

[inside he might be freaking out. Was this what it was like for Red in Lavender Tower?]

I'm not scared of you! In fact, I'll show you how not scared I am! Go, Explotaro! [he'll take out a Pokeball and release his Typhlosion, who just gives him a look as his fire gives off more light]

[forbiddenfriend]

[The noises are definitely a bit more distant now, especially as the light given off by Explotaro has suddenly separated the shadows from the sides of the hallways. The yellow eyes return, reflecting the fire.]

[billiardsplz]

[he humphs and looks around carefully now that he knows it's hiding in the shadows... And at that reflected fire, he pounces!]

Raawr!

[forbiddenfriend]

[The dragon skirts to the side, easily avoiding the attack, though he is now fully revealed by the Typhlosion's fire. Instinctively, he snarls back, keeping his body low to the ground as he circles away from the other.]

[billiardsplz]

Oh, it's you. [and what is with that look]

Whoa now buddy, I'm not going to hurt you. [he backs away a little, holding his hands back, trying to calm Toothless down as he rotates around to keep facing him]

[forbiddenfriend]

[He growls a bit at Gold, his attention snapping towards the Typhlosion.

Don't you try any funnybuisness with him either. You may be on fire, but he's taken down things easily twice your size on fire.]

[billiardsplz]

[Explotaro snorts and tugs at Gold to move on]

In a bit partner, I don't think he's learned his lesson yet.

[forbiddenfriend]

[He settles a level gaze on the boy.

You wanna mess with him?]

[billiardsplz]

Look buddy, I'm harmless, but there are tons of people in this castle who aren't. Even if that Peace Patrol caught a whole bunch of them some time ago, there are still newbies who are even more dangerous because they don't announce themselves like idiots.

You understand me, right?

woah crap sorry

[forbiddenfriend]

[He does understand you.

His reply is this face.]

it's cool!

[billiardsplz]

[Aah, he knows that face!]

Fine, don't believe me. Just don't go crying to me if someone tries to shoot at you.

[forbiddenfriend]

[You speak nonsense! Also, you bore the nightfury, so he's going to give you one last critical look before turning around and trodding off into the darkness.]

[billiardsplz]

He'll learn eventually.
