((This thread is for the council concerning dragons which was originally thought up in Siftura, but considering the location of Ristop, so central and easy to get to by most people, it was decided that the council should be here. At the start of this thread, the characters in Ristop are: Ragoth, King of Lodon Okami and possibly Rai, depending on Zinny. Other inhabitants are all of Gwydion's army and part of Ragoth's. Presently, the restoring and rebuilding of Ristop is commencing for the Great Council that should be commencing quite soon. (A few days). So, without further adieu, begin roleplaying! Have fun!!))

The skies above the city are overcast, but there is no threat of rain in the air. A citizen absorbed in repairing a shop wipes his sweaty face and glances up to see if the clouds are dissipating, hoping that wind will ease the humidity.
A speck can be seen, directly below the cloudline. A bird...? No, too large, and the wrong wing shape. What is it? The man squints at it.
Without warning, it begins to grow. He realizes it is coming closer... alarmingly closer -
With an earth-shaking THUD, a young red mountain dragon lands in the middle of the street. Wyra is resting in the hollow between its wings, her white hair blown back by the fierce wind of the dragon's flight.
Before the man's astonished eyes, the stranger delclares, That was a nice flight, Mheret. Now, where are we supposed to go for the council meeting? She hops off the dragon and sees the man staring. Hello! she calls. Her voice is slightly accented. Her color and dress make her to be Sifturan, but that hair... those eyes... There's a council in this town somewhere today. Where is it?
Dumbly, the peasant points in the direction of the main square. Thank you! Wyra says and begins walking down the street, the enormous dragon following closely.
The man stares after her for a moment; then up at the sky; then he turns resolutely back to his work. You didn't see it, he mutters to himself, and returns to working.

Ragoth finished his drink and walked out. He was trying to draw atttention but there were mutters. He saw that wrya had landed and went over to her.
Hey wyra! he yelled. " i havent seen you since the war. How have you been.?"

*It was night when Okami walked into the city. Peaceful autmosphere was around. Breathing deeply, cool night air, he fell backwards and hit the ground with a thud, and just slept there for the rest of the night*
* Okami woke up in the middle of the rode of Ristop, rubbing the back of his head. Getting up he padded away all the dust on him and started walking. He felt a whole lot better after sleeping after walking non-stop in the Siftura's desert. As he was walking he noticed food stores around him, the aroma of delicious food filled his lungs. A LOUD gurgle sound came from his stomach. He put a hand to his stomach and looked around.*
"I gotta get something to eat."
*he said hungrily, walking into the closest restaurant.*

Wyra runs up to Ragoth, Mheret lumbering after. I know! It's been ages! I still have Lifescar. She pats the scabbard and smiles. Where are the council preparations? We came all the way here from Siftura, and I want to get there soon. We might already be late. Suddenly, she sees Okami walk into a restaurant across the street. Look! I recognize that guy from the council in Siftura - he's the shapeshifter. Let's go talk to him.
She turns to Mheret. Ragoth and I are going in there for a moment, but I don't think they allow dragons. If anyone hassles you, just call me and I'll come deal with it. The dragon nods, and Wyra beckons to Ragoth. Come on, let's go find Okami!

*Okami sat down at the bar at the back of the store and orderd a jug of ice water. As the bar tender was makinhg the drink, Okami took out something from his jacket. There was a red liquid a small vile. The bar tender just set the drink down and stared at the red liquid that Okami started poring into his drink. The water turned a dark blue, then turned a light pink then a a dark red.*
"Bottoms up."

Wyra walks into the bar and sits down on the stool next to Okami. She watches with slight distaste as he downs a strange, rather colorful drink. Seeing all the people around her makes her thirsty. Living in the desert, it seems strange to be able to drink whatever you want whenever you want. She turns to the bartender.
I'd like a glass of water, tallest you have, with a slice of lemon, please.
The bartender raises an eyebrow, but fills an enormous glass from a tap behind him, garnishes it with a lemon slice, and slides it across to her.
Sipping happily, she looks at Okami. He still hasn't noticed her. She drops her hood and taps him on the shoulder.
Hello! Remember me? I'm Wyra, from Siftura. I'm here for the dragon council. She points out the window, where Mheret is lying patiently in the shade of a tall building. You are too, right?

"I was sure I recognized you. Yes, I'm here for the Councile Meeting."
*he said as he set the empty glass down on the bar. Slightly turning to her he asked*
"So what's your reason for going to the councle meeting?"
*Okami never was one for small talk...much. But he still had manners.*

I speak dragon, she says airily. I lived with them for a long time. For some reason, they really like me. I'll be at the council with Mheret, a dragon I brought from the desert, and I'll be speaking directly for the dragons.
Suddenly, she drops her voice and whispers, I saw you turn into a dragon in Siftura. Will you tell me how you did that? The dragons don't know, and I have never met anyone who can. Can you teach me?

*Okami looked at her and stared for what was like a minute, then turned to the bar tender and asked him to get two of the restaurants biggest and finest meals. Turning back to her after making this order he told her in a small whisper.*
"You ever heard of Ninjitsu? A type of technique that uses a type of energy within the body that's called Chakra."

Er... ninjitsu? Never heard it. Energy in the body... it's almost like being a wizard, or an elementalist or something. Where do you learn it? Though she is so excited she can hardly keep still, she speaks in a low voice. What do dragons think of you when you're transformed? Do you speak dragon?

Elementalist is the best way to put it. You basically use nature as a weapon. In a way it my seam like magic but it's not. There's only really one way to learn it. You must speak to the 10 leaders each of which teach a different element style. There are hidden villages that these people live or used to live in. It's very difficult to find out where they are.
The Earth Master - Hidden Village of Rock The Fire Master - Hidden Village of Leaf The Grass Master - Hidden Village of Grass The Lightning Master - Hidden Village of Cloud The Rain Master - Hidden Village of Rain The Sound Master - Hidden Village of Sound The Wave Master - Hidden Village of Wave The Water Master - Hidden Village of Mist The Waterfall Master - Hidden Village of Waterfall The Wind Master - Hidden Village of Sand
So far I have met the Wind Master and I was raised by the Fire Master. He loved his village very much.
*His eyes narrowed and became emotionless after he said that, and he continued to speak after a small pause.*
Unfortunatly...a great war broke out between all 10 villages, each thinking that they were better than the other. After the war was over, my care taker was dead. Along with the rest of the Masters. But they had sons and daughters and they taught them everything they knew. Some even come up with their own techniques. Bad news is with my Fire Master, he didn't have a child. So I ended up taking his place. While he was alive he gave me all that he could. I've even made my own.
To answer your next question. They suspect me, but I gain their trust. My master was always found of dragons. Trained me day and night till I got that form right. *he said with a small smile*
My tong is a little rusty to dragon language but I try none the less. Yondaime, my master, was very good at it. He'd talk to some dragons that he became good friends with and asked them to help me out. It was tough. He trained me very hard in everything. But even if I messed up, he'd always smile. I swear, it was that smile that made me never give up.

Wyra stares down at her water, feeling a deep sadness. He sounded wonderful. I'm sorry for your loss. Shameful though it is, her compassion is almost masked by a trembling excitement. The dragons must certainly know where these villages are. I'm so sorry to bring up such a painful subject... it's just I've been trying to find this out all my life. But no matter - there's time for that later. When does the council start? A pitiful attempt at changing the subject, but Wyra feels badly for making Okami sad and wants to get his mind off it.

Don't look for the villages.
*His voice stern and serious. No matter what anyone's intentions were he didn't want ANYONE to restart the war.*
It's my job to find all the current Masters, and train from them. But there's a price from learning these techniques.
*his eyes narrowed even more. He hated the price. There was always a catch to life.*
"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost." The price is big. It's not something I advise learning if you're not ready to give everything up.
*the bar tender placed the two plates in front of them. The food looked very good. Okami's eye's went wide, and he had a happy open mouthed smile. He said some sort of Japanese sounding phrase. And then attacked the plate. Dumping the food down into his mouth. It was a little creepy. Lots of people looked at him with their own mouths hanging, watching him.*
