Naga chuckled a bit at this amused.
" Hnn.... My main terra is far from here but the flying grounds are great. My home... oh god the currents you get from the hot pockets of air flowing from the cracks in the earth that leak lava. Hmm... one day I have to show you that. It's the perfect place for flight but I guess the forest will have to do for us today. It's been awhile since I graced the air. All those rules the witches have. It's a bother. " She told her as they were breaking upon the edge of the city at last.

"That certainly does sound pleasant, especially for a flame dragon like myself." Lyco' agrees, wishing she could wrap a wing or her tail around the naga to hold her closer. Alas for the time being she had to act like a stupid mammal who only had one form to take.
"I'll just be happy to be away from all the humans for a while. Maybe I can pretend I'm actually a dragon then and not some overgrown lizard with wings which is what it normally feels like." She added, huffing a little.

Naga could only chuckle at this. " Well soon be far enough into the forest to show our true forms." She smirked a bit as she walked along on human legs.
" Tell me, do you come from a certain tribe of dragons? Or are you not sure? I know since my day... the young ones have forgotten the clans of their origins. Though I make sure all my children remember too well that they are of the Naga race and I am their mother." She grinned devilishly as the sun rose over the tree's/

"Beats me." Lyco shrugs her shoulders at the question, shaking her head a little as well. One thing that had always bugged her but she didn't need to know the answer just to take pride in what she was.
"My parents never really talked about it and I didn't really ask. It just never seemed like a big deal since I didn't hang around any other dragons and as far as I know we don't hold any big group meetings or anything. Any good ways of telling if I am?" She asked, a little hopeful the naga might be able to give her some indication from her looks or something. It'd be nice If she actually knew one way or the other so she could settle that question.

" Diffrent tribes preform different rituals. Some tatoo each other, some are known by colors or elements alone. There's alot of little things that tell of your tribe. My race for example. When we are young we look like strange looking reptiles, but as we mature." She stopped as they were far enough into the forest so not to be seen. She stood back from the other female and revealed her hands as she drew into her true form. A long green slender head with swept back horns, a yellow plated belly and a long spiked tail adorned her shape. Wings stretched and flapped for a moment as a pair of glasses balanced upon her horned nose. A smirk played cross her maw as she forced herself to walk bipedal upon her back feet and moved her fore arms about like a humans.
" We have the ability to walk on two legs and manipulate our forearms like hands. Makeing it alot easier to walk and hold weapons at the same time or other objects we wish to carry." She grinned as her great tail moved behind her with a bit of a curl.

Lyco can't help but smirk somewhat as the naga shifts forms, enjoying getting to see her true form without having to worry about it breaking her apartment. She was cute in her human form but this was the real thing and she was certainly hoping to get to see more of it.
"I guess that would have a lot of uses, I can't say I can do much with my body other than carry things with my tail." She smiles before letting her own human form slip away. Her body growing longer, taking on her draconic form. Deep black scales cover most of her form, in contrast to her bright red underbelly and spines. Her tail remains simple and slim, adding another foot and a half to her near nine and a half foot long body as it curls happily in the air. Her overly large wings flex out, making her seems a little awkward as she gets a footing, the wing membrane the same red as her underbelly, but their size gives her an impressive wingspan.
She shakes her head a little, the horn like crest on her head again taking on the same crimson as other parts of her body. She certainly isn't the largest dragon around yet but she's still reasonably young and probably has a good amount of growing left to do.
"What do you think?" She coos to the naga, stretching out her wings and body to show herself off, not having yet had the chance to show her new companion the form she took so much pride in.

" Beautiful. " Naga purred as she walked over to her, dragging her tail along for support as she touched the other female's cheek with her white tipped claws. With this she settled back to a more comfortable sitting position with a grin.
"Come on. Lets stretch our wings." She smiled as he pointed her head skyward.

Lycoris would probably have been blushing at the touches if it wasn't for being her her draconic form. Either way she rumbled softly under the attention until the naga sat back, taking the opportunity to move back some herself to give her wings space.
"You don't have to ask me twice for that." She grinned to the other, showing off an impressive array of fangs in her maw. It'd been too long since she'd gotten to have some fun with them as well. Without wasting any more time she spread her large wings and beat down, combined with her own jump she was able to propel herself a good distance from the ground in that first try. Her wings lazily flapped behind her easily keeping her body aloft without much effort. She was going to miss that if she ever grew into them.

Feng had sat patiently across from the dragonette's apartment through the night, carefully cleaning and maintaining his armour and arms while he waited. When the couple had left the apartment in the wee hours of the morning he had rapidly stowed his oil cloth and whetstone and stood leisurely to follow them at a discreet distance. While inside the city he had kept up the illusion of a human form and kept well back, at least a block away at all times.
The moment they had entered the trees of the forest he had let his armours illusion drop and trusted his dark hide and clothing hide him in the trees. He was now tracking the pair simply by the sound of their conversation, keeping well back in the trees and moving with the faintest of rustles after them.
When both assumed their natural forms Feng crouched and waited. He was unsure if he would be able to deal with both the beings, he swore he recognised the Naga from somewhere and that was never good. He'd wait until they had both taken off and then follow at a safe distance and hope for an opportunity to strike.

Naga laughed a bit as she carried off into the sky over the forest. Her arms and hind legs kept against her flesh as her tail acted like a rudder in the air. She moved with a heavy grace to her. A strength and power that was not to be messed with. The female dragon smirked as she soared above the clouds and past a flock of geese whom she buzzed happily without a care.
" This is how where meant to live." She called to the other, not knowing of the other that was lurking.... watching them...

Lycoris was quick to follow the naga, beating her wings faster to gain altitude. She didn't even worry too much about this being the first time she'd been flying properly since she'd gotten out. Nope she was going to enjoy this as much as she could, besides it wasn't like her body was weak enough to fail on her like some stupid mammal's might.
"Free in the skies without a care for what some pea brained witches think." She called back, enjoying the feeling of the air rushing over her form. Something she'd missed far too much in her year of captivity.

Feng rose to his feet as the two beings disappeared skyward. With a unpleasant clicking noise the chitinous plates covering his back shifted and slid around as two massive translucent membranes unfolded themselves and sprang to life. With a dull roar like a thousand beetles taking flight the wings worked themselves into a blur of motion and Feng shot into the sky. With the control and precision of an insect a thousandth of his size Feng spun on his axis, scanning the sky for the two dragons with his many eyes. A flicker of motion to the north caught his attention and he saw the smaller of the two disappearing into the cloud cover high above him.
With another roaring wave of noise Feng's wings blurred to invisibility and he sped off toward the pair. A tap on an obscene marking on one of his bracers and Feng was just a distortion in the air, the vibrations of his wings seemingly transferred to his entire body. Now all he had to do was to keep far enough away for them not to hear him.

For a second Naga thought she heard something, but shook her head. No... just some random birds or something. Nothing to worry about she assured herself as she looked to the other female and swung about her form with her wings flapping and stilling for a moment to glide upon the heated air before once more stirring to keep her air bound.
" You got that right." She smirked and laughed as she worked her way through the air like a serpent upon the water.

Lycoris was happily gliding through the air, sailing around on the currents as if born to live in the air. Her form gracefully dived and rose with the currents, twisting and turning happily. The young dragon's overly large wings made their purpose more than apparent with the ease which she would turn and dance in the air
"I missed this so much." She sighed, letting her body glide on what currents she could, forgetting about why this had been so long in coming Her eyes watched the naga as well, her eyes soaking in the images of her newest happiness. If nothing else she as sure she'd enjoy the naga's company as a good friend, though she certainly not ruling out the possibility of more.

Feng drifted through the cloud cover below and slightly behind the two dragons as they flew in a twining dance through the moonlight. To most the sight of the two beautiful beings, so in their element would be breathtaking, but to Feng it was just another problem he had to deal with. They were sticking so close together he'd never have an opportunity to strike. Feng was watching the two so closely that he didn't notice the flying v of geese coming silently up behind him, and they obviously did not notice him. With an alarmed honk the lead goose caught one of Feng's wingtips and was flung violently downward by the sheer force of the impact. Feng swung around in surprise just in time to see the goose and its fellows diving for the earth, honking wildly as they tried to escape their invisible assailant.

Naga paused at the sudden honks of the geese, turning about she flapped her mighty wings and starred hard into the sky. She snorted a bit before starting to blew out smoke from her nostrils. Letting the wind carry it where it may as she watched the birds plummet to the earth as if something was messing with their flight pattern.
" I got a bad feeling." The naga hissed darkly as she puffed up her chest and blew flames into the air before her. Naga at times could get quite paranoid about being followed, and for good reason. Most of the time she had young to protect, though today she had something else important to her to protect as well.
" Come out! Or I'll charbroil your hide!" She called out in a stern and commanding tone. Now she wasn't totally sure if someone was there or not, no. She was calling out a bluff... just in case... this was a whom instead of a possible what....

Lycoris heard the geese as well and was more than ready to put it down to the dumb birds getting themselves in a tangle until Naga slowed and hissed to her. She slowed her own movements, gliding around in a loose circle above the naga, her eyes scanning the sky. She didn't see anything, but then that didn't mean there wasn't anything there. She was far from about to doubt her companion, given that she'd only just earned herself her freedom. Hopefully whatever it was would have more sense than to mess with the pair of reptiles though.

Feng swore under his breath as the two dragons swung around to look in his direction. All that work just to be ruined by some bloody birds. Now he had a decision to make, attack and hope for the best or leave and wait for the pair to drop their guard. The decision took all of half a second. With a sharp exhalation of breath he sent a gobbet of corrosive sludge arcing through the clouds heading straight for one of the huge membranes that made up the smaller dragon's wing.
At the same time his wings went from the low humming that kept him hovering to the full thousand beetle roar that sent him rocketing upward toward the smaller of the pair, clawed arms spread and the illusion that had hidden him dissipating as he accelerated.
Ooc: God that'd be sucky. From nice little flight to be attacked by horrible looking mutant thing all in the space of 4 seconds ish.

Naga was startled not only from the sudden noise but from the sudden appearance of the sludge the giant dragon flapped her wings hard to propel backwards. She only then noticed that the attack was not made for her but for her friend ( Or so the rper thinks XD )
" Watch out!!" She cried to her friend as she hurled her head back as if about to spit but suddenly blew out a stream of fire at the empty air before her.
" Whoever there better show their self! Your screwing with the wrong Naga and trust me. You will wish you hadn't in about five seconds." The queen hissed deeply as her golden eyes swung about looking for their invisible assailant that was... till it suddenly showed it's self.

At the yell of the naga, Lyco looked around quickly, barely spotting the glob of sludge in time to let herself fall from the sky to get under it. Her wings worked hard to catch another current to stem her fall, the effort of pulling herself out of a free fall more than she had exerted in a long time and her body complained at her thoroughly for the motion.
"What the hell do you want!" She growled loudly, her own eyes darting about for their attacker whilst she prepared to breath her own fire the moment she had an opening. She only just gotten free from captivity once, the last thing she was about to do was let anything take away her freedom.
When she did finally notice the... whatever it was speeding towards her she wasted no time in opening her maw to release the flames. A searing gout of red and blue flame spouting from her open more and raining down over the sky. At the same time she did her best to gain some more altitude, trying to stick close to the larger naga.

The gout of burning plasma boiled toward Feng, a seemingly inescapable torrent of burning death. But it was in cases like this that the advantage of his bizarre wings shone through. With the slightest of twitches he was sent into an impossibly tight roll, spiralling past the flames and continuing his airborne charge. As he shot toward the smaller dragon he answered her roared challenge with a roar of his own.
"All a hunter wishes is to hunt!"
Feng's flight path had carried him directly toward the smaller of the pair and as it attempted to gain height he slammed into it's underside and his many arms immediately wrapped around its torso, near doubling the weight it's wings had to support as his own wings stilled and folded rapidly back into their chitinous sheaths.

" Hunter." Naga whispered, that word in it's self was never a good thing. Her golden eyed narrowed as she dove after her friend below who was fighting to gain height. She held her clawed arms out, attempting to swipe at the beast who was clinging to her friend. Though she knew she had to be careful. She could hurt Lyco if she missed....
" Let her go now, unless you would like to feel the wrath of the queen." She spoke darkly as she swung close to their forms, if Lyco fell... well. She was ready to try to break her fall.

Lycoris had been hoping her fire would have scared the creature off or at least slowed it down enough for her to gain some height. Unfortunatly the beast was far more nimble than she had anticipated and it quickly closed the distance on her after expertly dodging her attack.
"Get off me!" she screeched as the beast grabbed her and stopped his own wings. The added weight was far too much for even her overly large wings to carry, especially in her weakened state and it was barely a moment before she was pulled downwards. She clawed and bit at the creature frantically, trying to dislodge it's hold on her or at least trying to get above it. Splatting on the ground was not high on her list of things to do, but neither was being captured by anything again.

Feng hung determinedly to the dragon as it thrashed and bit at him, ignoring the array of small gouges and slashes appearing on his back, trusting his armour to protect him from the worst of the assault.
Hearing the larger dragon's threat as it swung past, he pointed his fanged jaw in it's general direction and let fly a jet of vicious acid.
"Shut it Queeny. I've killed a few 'royals' in my time, your threats don't mean shit to me."
To prove the point Feng released on of his clawed hands from the dragon and pulled Jikal from it's scabbard at his waist. He pressed the blade against the side of the still fighting dragon, the acid running down it's blade hissing and steaming on contact.

Naga hissed at this. " Let her go now!" She roared as she followed closely, trying to grab at the smaller dragon with her clawed hands.
" Let go." She demanded more darkly before blowing fire at the vermin who threatened her friend. She could only pray that she could break the younger ones fall.
