Introduction
What once used to be America is now know as Terra, land of the dragons. Scattered across the country are various towns and kingdoms, each well fortified to fight off any dragon that might decided to attack of it's own accord. This is common all around the world now, though not many know of where the dragons came from. They were always thought to be things of legends, only stories told to further lengthen the imagination of children. Some think they came from caves deep beneath the surface. Others think that they came from an experiment gone wrong. But it doesn't matter where they came from, it just matters what they do now that they are here.
In the small town of Towren, the people are constantly tormented by the dragons assaults, for their defenses are not as strong as others may be. In fact, this small town, located in the wild wilderness of north Terra, they are far from any other towns or kingdoms, and are on their own. The dragons, it seems, have decided to take advantage of this and are now in the middle of the war with the people of Towren, and the fact that they have control over the for elements doesn't make it any easier for anyone else.
Four people of the town, each one living different life styles, have been chosen, whether they know it or not, to become apart of this war that nobody wanted. But their calling is a higher one, one that both the people of Towren and the Dragons have no idea of, one that four dragons shall be apart of too. Where you fit in is up to you.

Lana watched in fear as the dragon opened it's mouth, about to spring fire to life from it's mouth as it growled loudly. Alana quickly put her bow back onto her back, then gripped Elpis' reins and jerked him to the side just as a wall of flame shot behind them. She dug her heels into the horse's flank and they surged forward once more, dashing forward with great speed, launching himself over a lone log, the dragon behind them roaring in rage as it realized that it's prey had escaped.
With a grin, Lana patted the horses neck in encouragement as they continued on, fleeing from the beast. A couple of hours later, the young woman arrived in a small clearing, a little den like area hidden in the roots of a large tree nearby. Lana pulled the large horse to a stop, then jumped down, pulling him forward gently until she and the horse were inside the small den, for opening was large enough for the two to enter, and the inside was definitely fashioned to be large enough. As Lana put the horse in his make-shit stall, she took her cloak off and threw it onto a chair she had fashioned for herself. "Just another day in the life." She said to herself quietly with a small smirk, moving over to get the horse his dinner.

The dragon let out what might be described as a laugh, though it was more of a series of high pitched chirping noises. Looking down, Myst's blue eyes spotted the panicked people, running for cover and for weapons. Why did they always throw things at her? All she wanted to do was play. Maybe she could catch some of the things they threw at her? Unless they were on fire or sharp and pointy. She had virtually no control of fire, unless it was simply blowing a torch out. She could manage that.
Beating her wings, she quickly began to hover in the air, sending strong gales of wind through the poor town. The people seemed to be prepared by now, a sign that she should leave. Myst rose back into the sky. She could continue dive bombing the people later. For now, she would be content in her element-air. Sighing contently, the white dragon circled above the town, just below a large cloud. The air was a bit cold, but she didn't mind.

I'm sure not all of them are like that he thought. He was then thrown into the war without secound thought, the promise of a repectable life if they won the war. He was give no armour or weapons, though all he really needed right now were his fists and his 2 daggers. The soilders of whom had singled him out from the small band that was set to guard the town from outside of it's boundaries were mere peasents themselves who had joined for a quick buck and some fame to boot. Jason smiled, he couldn't really say he wouldn't have joined for those reasons either when the war had first started, but he had been busy not wanting to kill himself. The soilders had beat him up, called him names... it was truely pathetic in the eyes of an experienced street-rat, who had escaped death and capture for 3 years.
He looked up at the blue sky, which had few clouds in it. Trees almost surrounded him in all directions, all solid and imoviable as the dragons themselves. He sighed, he had been standng here for 30 minutes now, he hated being in the same place all the time. He gave a cautious look around, making sure all the the other guards were out of sight. He smiled and then wandered into the trees directly in front of him, looking for anything that might intrigue him. Besides if he was caught he could just say he had been doing some recon.

He sniffed the air once, and folded his wings neatly against his side. A shadow casted over him, as a black dragon flew over his head. Being used to other dragons, Kai paid no attention. He pondered whether to take a nap or find something to eat. Perhaps... sleeping with a full stomach would be better. Tilting his head to the side, Kai finally lifted up into the air. He stayed close to the ground, seeming to be a bit lazy.
He roared loudly throughout the forest before grunting. As if giving up already, Kai landed on the ground once more and laid down on the spot. He rested his head down onto the ground, eyes closing slowly. Swimming was fun, and he loved it. The only problem was, he felt so tired after a nice dive in the water. Once he was comfortable, Kai allowed himself to relax his muscles, falling into a light sleep.

Hovering above the trees a few hundred feet from town, she finally dropped the man. She didn't care where he landed, as long as she hadn't been hurt. Twisting around, she looked at her back left foot, seeing a bit of blood. Stupid humans. How was she supposed to fix this? Sighing and dodging a flying pitchfork, Myst flew farther into the woods before settling in a clearing. She was not very good with maneuvering on the ground. Climbing she could do, but she hated the forest. It was too crowded for her to walk properly.
She gingerly licked the blood away with her skinny pink tongue. She hated blood, even her own. The man had obviously used more force than she'd expected when trying to hurt her. This was the only reason she hated humans, because they didn't like her for some reason. Mystique set her head on the ground. rest would do her good.

"Great" he mumbled quietly to himself "first i get caught on a low level theivery and now i get lost ina forest where no-one will search for me or even care if i'm dead" he stopped and twisted around, kicking the nearest tree to him.
That was when he saw something strange, it was a large shape, very large. The shape had feathry wings and was a murky white coulour.
A dragon!? Jason thought as he hid behind the tree, he wasn't scared, or at least he thought he wsn't scared, more curious. If this dragon had feather wings it was probably an air dragon, so what was it doing down on the ground in a forest where flying was almost impossible. He looked around and then saw that there was blood on the dragons left back foot. Must have been the villagers. He walked forward gingerly and said
"Hello? Do you need help?"

Myst could not talk as the humans did with vocals. She lifted her head, looking down at the human. She wasn't sure if it would work, but figured it was worth a try. Yes. Help me, she thought, directing the thoughts towards the human. Maybe he would really help her? If he could hear her thoughts that was. Doing the dragon equivalent of a sigh, she laid her head back down near the boy's feet.

Lifting her head again, she looked down at Jason with large, icy blue eyes. Mystique then snatched him up in her mouth and took off, rising high above the ground. She wasn't sure how Jason was reacting, but as long as she didn't drop him, he should be fine. Once the two arrived above the town, she needed to consider where to drop him off. That was better said than done with the current war.
Circling out of throwing range, she finally decided to just leave him at the top of one of the pathetic walls. What would this wall do to keep dragons or people out? Descending quickly, she swooped above the wall, following its pattern before releasing her grasp on Jason and then flying up again. Thank you. she thought as she swooped low, looking at Jason one last time before soaring out over the forest.

Re: [OOC] Tainted Promises
Head_Over_Heels --- Can the dragons talk? Or do they have some kind of telepathic way of communicating with each other and/or the humans? Or do they not speak at all.
