((Reposts above the stars, regular post below))
The red dragon roared angrily and dived at the tower, landing upon it, shaking the very structure with her large dragon body. Some stone crumbled from the impact. A rain of arrows shot out at her, and she knocked most of them away with her massive wings and tail. More stone cracked and crumbled from her strong nails and she climbed down the top of the tower until her long neck could reach into the opening. She roared loudly before she took an intake of breath and breathed fire into the tower in an attempt to burn everything and everyone- especially General Karr in order to stop his massive wind spell.
Sirus would turn to look at Esthar as he could see the city and his castle on fire, and the anger would start to rage like a explosion in Sirus. Suddenly Sirus would form and ball of Demonic energy with his hands and once the ball was as big as a beach ball, he would thrust it forward towards the castle as a demonic energy beam would shoot out across the land and across the dark lands. The energy beam would shoot across the city of Esthar and right at the tallest tower and directly at or into Xiu. A shot of pure demonic energy-
**********************************************************************************
She caught movement out of the corner of her fiery eye. Something was headed straight for her. The large red dragon, perched atop of the partially destroyed tower, turned her attention toward the beam that was being shot out at her. She growled. There was very little she could do at the last second than brace for impact.
Xiu was hit with the beam of pure demonic energy. She roared in intense pain. Even when the beam itself ended, the energy seemed to linger, which caused the dragon to be light-headed. Xiu stumbled atop of the tower and shook her head to regain her senses, but it seemed to make things worse. Dizzy and unable to concentrate, the dragon turned into back into a human.
Atop of the crumbling tower, Xiu slipped on a loose piece of stone. Fiery eyes wide in a panic, she attempted to scramble to regain herself, but without dragon claws, she fell. Gritting her teeth, the woman in red dragon scale armor managed to catch herself on the crumbled ledge of the tower opening. Fire burned all around her, but it did not affect the red dragon woman. What was causing her to wimper, however, was that her consciousness was leaving her. The light-headedness was taking its toll.
Eventually, Xiu fell.

- as Xiu would lay there on top of the tower as the castle was burning with flames. Xiu vision may be going in and out or even her eyes would open to see and hear around her but she would be to weak to do anything. her eyes would be open and looking up at the stars in the night sky while flames would be reaching upward, she could see this from the left corner of her eye. Smoke would be rising into the air from the bottom side of her eyes as a dead body laid off to the right corner of her eyes. Her eyes would close and what seemed to be a few seconds later would open and see the same with no change. Her eyes would close again and then suddenly open but this time when they open, she would see general Karr walk up from the right side of her. His right arm would still be on fire as his cloths had burn holes and blood stains around them. His fur coat would now be smoke black and only half on him for the rest is burnt to ash. Karr's right side would be burnt to the skin and blood would be oozing out at different spots but because Karr is a ancient vampire his skin was healing rather fast. his face was done healing as the burn was only on his right side of his neck. The flames still on his right coat arm as he steps up to Xiu-
Karr: well look what we have here.
- Xiu eyes would close and second later open agin to see Karr standing there. Karr take his left hand and places it on top of his right shoulder and rips the flaming right arm of the coat off and throws it to the upper right corner of Xiu's eyes, showing his badly burnt right arm as the smoke lifted off the skin but suddenly a soldier would walk up behind karr, but the soldier was burnt up as well but was able to move and help where needed. Karr would look back at the soldier and Xiu's eye's would close once more and a second later open again.-
Karr: Soldier, help me move this wenches body down to the basement, we will take her through the portal and put her in Boons brig on his ship, she can't change or escape from there. She will be safe till we rebuild the castle.
- Xiu would close her eyes once more and when they opened, Karr would be knelt down over her and in her face-
Karr: You my dear are now prisoner of the dark lord Sirus.
- Suddenly karr would reach back with his left arm and then swing his left arm with a great amount of strength and punches Xiu across the face, knocking her out till she could awake in the brig of Boons flying ship which was in a different realm right now waiting for Sirus's call-

((Sorry the reply took so long. I've been sick.))
Xiu’s eyes shot open. She was alive. How? Her fiery eyes looked up at the stars in the night sky, occasionally hidden behind smoke from the billowing flames around her. Out of the corner of her eyes she could see a dead body. Her vision blurred and the woman shut her eyes. She opened and shut her eyes a few times, in order to chase away the blurriness. Upon the final blink, she saw a figure walk up to her from the right.
Another blink, and the figure- General Karr- was before her. He appeared badly burnt, yet he was still standing. How? She heard the man address another, mentioning something about bringing her to the basement. The fact that he had called her a wench earned a growl, a low, dragon-like growl from deep inside. She tried moving, tried clenching her fists, but the demonic energy felt too heavy. Jolts of pain coursed through her, and the growl turned into a cry from the pain. The dragon woman shut clenched her eyes shut until the pain was more manageable. When she opened them again, fiery eyes found General Karr kneeling before her, too close for comfort. He told her that she was Sirus’ prisoner, but before she could react, she was knocked out.
*****
“Father?” There was smoke everywhere. She could hear the battle, but she couldn’t see it. “Father!?”
Her call was desperate. She had to find him…
A lone dark figure stood on the sidelines in the dream. Voided black orbs of swirling insanity watched the woman search desperately for her father, as he had done, night after night. Malrich had his fun tormenting the citizens of the Loch Ness by giving them nightmares, but it was quite honestly boring. But the dragon woman… That was entirely different. When he dug in to find her fear, he got so, SO much more. And so, he’d torment the citizens of the Loch Ness less and less, instead focusing on Xiu more and more. He found that Xiu was a living, ticking, bomb. And it was just a matter of time before her nightmares would cause severe damage in the waking world.
He was working her, slowly. She had secluded herself. It was becoming harder and harder for her to distinguish reality from her nightmares. Her hatred grew more and more, her anger was on the verge of exploding. The God of Nightmares replayed the same scene over and over again- the battle where the Dragon Lord met his demise- but played it slightly differently each time, to test her reaction. And everything was going according to plan. It was time for the Grande Finale. A mischievous smirk crept to the man’s black lips.
“Father!?!” “Daughter.”
Xiu spun around as the voice came from behind her. A man stumbled into her vision: Her father.
“You’re hurt…” she hissed, seeing him applying pressure to a wound at his ribcage. “I’ll live.” He grumbled. “Come.” She said, aiding her father. “Let’s get you patched up and back into the fight.”
She began walking, but paused. The woman glanced about the smoke, then over her shoulder. Something was wrong.
“Daughter…”
It was silent. There was no more battle. Xiu released her father and took a few steps in no particular direction. The dust settled and the smoke lessened. Xiu’s eyes went wide. Before her was a sea of blood and dead dragons. Her father’s army had been decimated in the battle.
“Daughter…” “Father, what… What has happened?!” “Xiuhcoatl!”
Xiu spun around when her father had used her full name. Her heart skipped a beat when she found him on his knees, doubled over in pain. She cried out and took a step toward him, only to stop rather suddenly as a sword impaled through the vulnerable Dragon Lord’s skull and stick into the ground. It took a moment for Xiu to register that the scream she was hearing was her own.
This is usually where Xiu woke up, but not this time. Malrich made certain of it.
Xiu was frozen. She watched as the figure placed a booted foot atop of the Dragon Lord’s corpse in order to pull the blade out of its victim. The figure, shrouded from the smoke, then stepped toward Xiu. And eventually, she was able to see the face of the man who killed her father.
Her fiery eyes went wide for but a brief moment, before they hardened into a murderous glare. The figure before her was Methuselah.
*****
Xiu’s anger and hatred woke her. She raised a fist in order to take a swing at her opponent, only to realize that not only was there nobody before her, but she was on her back somewhere foreign, and her face hurt like hell. She winced from the sudden pain, and cried out from even more pain from the wince.
Where the hell was she?! Had Methuselah imprisoned her?!
“Vampire!!!” she bellowed. Her hatred for Methuselah was infinite.
A simple cage wouldn’t hold her, however. She would have the albino’s head on a silver platter. The vampire was very easily beaten by her in dragon form the last two times they had battled. And so she transformed…
… Only she couldn’t transform.
Xiu sat up straight and sudden. Why couldn’t she transform? What sorcery was preventing her? She bellowed out in anger and stood up, ready to thrash her surrounding area, when she fell back to her knees rather quickly in intense pain. She grew silent and shut her eyes. Guess she’d have to take the slow approach to things. Xiu eventually opened her eyes and looked around, taking in her surroundings, trying to figure out where she was.

Very nice Seth. And I'm hoping you feel better and can come on to night even if it just to talk for a bit.

- Xiu would find her self in the bring of a flying ship, in a caged cell. the bars the made the cage was made of raw harden iron steal, strengthen to keep even the strongest of enemy's at bay. out side these bars would be the inside of the houl(sp) of the ship. The very bottom. Xiu would see that she had a round window to look of on the wall in her cell, but the window was bared aswell. If Xiu was to look to her left, she would see two more cell just like hers. If Xiu was to look to her right, she would see two more cells just like hers, and she would be in the middle. To her front left, would be two cells just like hers but turn around and to her front right would be two cell just like hers but turned around. If Xiu was to look straight in front of her, she would see a set of stairs that leads up to the next level of the ship. If Xiu looks up at the ceiling in the walk way between the front of all the cells that the steps open into to, she would see purple crystles placed every few feet along the walk way but the crystles would have the ships wood built around them. The only light was what light would come through the windows and what little light that came down the stairs. Suddenly a shadow would be cast down the stairs as the sounds of hard foot steps and jingling keys could be herd as the figure came walking down the steps. Once the figure got to the bottom, he would stand as tall as the door way of of the steps, almost blocking out the light from the steps. Suddenly the figure would take a step to the side and lean ban against the corner of the door way to the steps and once the light coming through the windows would shine on the figure, Xiu would see that it was Sirus's general Boon. Boon wasnt in has armor but was in a captins uniform with a large ring of keys hanging from his side. Boon would also have a cigar in his mouth and lit as he stood there just looking at Xiu. Boon crosses his arms and takes a drag from the cigar and blows the smoke out and the begins to speak-
Boon: well, im no vampire but I do know alot of them, and matter of fact, I lead and large and powerful army of them, But theres other beings of life and death in there to. I don't think we have meet yet. My name is Boon, General Boon, and this is my flag ship. The SS Carnage. The flag ship of three of Sirus the Dark lords flying fleet. So I can save you the trouble and the energy, This ship is covered in crystle sheilds, so no matter who or what trys to shot us down, it will not work and the same gose for the inside out. If you tryed to change, and find that you cant, its because those very same crystles don't allow you to do cause you must be conected to Lord Sirus to use any magic or powers with in these three ships. That's just how it is. Now you, My dear, are saddly a prisoner of Sirus's. I know you probbly want to get out of her and may even try a thing or two but before you do, you should know this. FOR one, your not in the lochness, your not even in the earth realm, oh no, your in a realm that Sirus battled and took over many, many, many years ago. The beings in this realm are totally loyal to Sirus and he is supreme ruler of this realm, so even if you was able to some how escape this ship, you would be killed on sight or hunted like a animal and killed on sight. Sense your here though, you might aswell be one being who see's the large scell of Sirus's force. If you can, stand up and look out your window there.
- If Xiu stands up and looks out her window, through the bars, She would see nice bright blue sky with clouds, but as she looked down ward, she would see the tops of mountains in the far distance and as her eye went on down ward, she would begin to see thousands apon thousands apon thousands of troops and large black dragons and large weapons and metal smith shops and troops practicing. Black Dragons working with the human and vampire and lycan troops. She would see a few black dragons stretch there wings out and blow fire up into the air. Xiu would even see smaller black dragons being prepped for battle and fitted so troops could ride them. Xiu would be looking apon a sea of troops and black dragons for as far as her eyes could see, every bit as big as the lochness and if not then bigger. She would be looking at a war machine like no other-
Boon: And that's only one of Sirus's realms. If Sirus really wants to, he could literally rain troops on the lochness and with his powers, swallow mist island and he has already taking tent city once, What makes you think he cant do it again, but what for? there nothing there at tent city and Sirus dosen't need mist island to take the land. it's funny, Sirus had every intent to make you a general like me. give you control of his dragons and use a sample of your blood to give them the gift of being able to change to human form but no, Would wouldn't trust Sirus and then you attacked his castle which in the same, you attacked him. Between your little vampire boy toy of a general, and the so called queen of lochness and you, to say that Sirus is pissed off, is a under statement of all time and soon, everyone will know that.
- Boon would still stand there leaning against the corner of the door way the steps with his arms folded and his cigar in his mouth as he takes a large drag from it and blows it out while waiting for Xiu response-

Fiery eyes glanced about. She was in a cell. There were numerous cells around her. The only light was coming from the stairs and a tiny window behind her. Xiu growled. Did Methuselah think that he could keep her locked up? She’d find a way out…
The sound of footsteps and jingling keys could be heard, as a figure descended the stairs. Xiu growled and stood up. She stepped up to the bars of her cell and wrapped her hands over two of the bars. The vampire was going to pay. Once she was finally able to see the figure, however, she realized that it wasn’t Methuselah. She did not know this man at all. Xiu was still angry, but cautious as she eyed him suspiciously as he simply watched her, puffing his cigar.
He introduced himself as General Boon, and informed her that she was aboard a flying ship. He told her that it was impossible to escape. Xiu glanced up at the crystals in question, pondering a way to test that theory. Her eyes fell back on Boon when he said that she was Sirus’ prisoner. She glared. When he said that she would be hunted if she ever managed to escape, Xiu shut her eyes and slowly shook her head.
He underestimated her. Xiu had lived through not one, but two Realms where she was hunted. She had survived both Hellsgate and the Great Realm of the Jewel while many others did not. She had survived Methuselah’s wrath twice.
Xiu opened her eyes and looked back to Boon when he told her to look out of the window. She was hesitant. She glanced over her shoulder toward the window, then back to Boon. She released the bars of her holding cell and took two cautious steps backwards, her eyes still on the man, before she finally turned her attention to the window fully. She turned around and pressed herself up against the wall, peering out the tiny window.
She saw the bright blue sky and white fluffy clouds, the mountains in the far distance. She also saw an infinite amount of troops. But that’s not what caused her eyes to go wide: Black dragons. There were so many of them. The woman in red dragon scale armor let out a shuddered breath as she watched them. She heard Boon start talking again as she continued to watch the black dragons. When he mentioned that Sirus had wanted to make her a General, she frowned. She remembered that meeting with him all too well: Sirus grew irritated with her when he had expected her to trust him right off the bat. And when Boon mentioned her blood to give the black dragons human form, Xiu spun around away from the window and gave Boon a murderous glare.
“My people are not slaves!” she growled.
Sure, they would be like her. And maybe she would have allowed Sirus to do it, had he not made it sound like the dragons and her people were slaves. He promised her that only he and herself could control them. That was the deal-breaker right there. Her people were not slaves. Her people were not to be controlled. Xiu hissed when Boon mentioned her having attacked Sirus’ castle.
So that part wasn’t a dream, then. It really did happen. At the moment, Xiu was having a hard time distinguishing what was a dream versus what was reality. Apparently attacking Sirus’ castle was real. Why did she do it? She searched her brain. Fire. There was fire. She was curious, so she went to check it out, only to find Aerie and General Karr using fire and wind magics. Adalon was her friend. And Aerie, Ayla, and Viconia were Adalon’s friends. Any friend of Adalon was a friend of hers, so she did the only thing she could think of, which was to attack Karr for Aerie. Sirus had a right to be pissed off at her. But when Boon mentioned Methuselah as her ‘boy toy’, Xiu angrily lashed out, trying to break free of her cell in order to kill Boon. Alas, her holding cell did not give. Xiu snarled at Boon behind the bars.
“Don’t you DARE refer to the Vampire as anything that involves us together. I will kill him. Only I can kill him. I have that right! He killed my people. He killed my Father! I want him dead. I WILL KILL HIM!” she screeched, the dragon in her trying its hardest to emerge.
That ticking time bomb Malrich was prepping for? There it was.

- Boon stood there shacking his head as he takes another big puff from his cigar but this time he blows it right in Xiu's face. Boon was amazed at the anger this female had and he was amazed at how stupid she was.Boon knew that this one needed to be tought a lesson and prisoner or not, no one lashes out at Boon on his ship so it was time to see how strong this female really was, in humen form. Boon begins to evilly laugh lightly as he takes his hand and balls it into a fist and takes it and slams it against the wall at the bottom of the stairs. Suddenly a door about 12 inchs wide and 36 inchs long would swing open. the door was made so well that it wasnt even noticeable but when the door was open all the way, Boon would turn around to face the open door and Xiu would be able to see at the top of the in side department, was nine nobes and below those would be four levers. Boon would take another large drag from his cigar and then turn his head to look at Xiu and blows the smoke in her face once more but then Boon reaches up and pulls seventh nobe as the sound of many pullys and gears could be heard moving. Then Boon would pull the first lever. Above Xiu's head, a space in the ceiling would open and a large wall of steal spikes would come falling down behind her, blocking out any light or any veiw of the window. the spikes on this wall would be razor sharp and able to peirce even the thickest of skin or hard shin. Boon would suddenly pull a second lever and another a smaller wall of spikes would come falling down at Xiu's right side. Boon would then pull a third lever and another small wall of spikes would fall to Xiu's left side and then Boon would pull the last lever and a wall of spikes the same size as the back, would fall infront of Xiu. if Xiu was holding on to the cell bars, she would want to step back or risk getting her hands cut off and body crushed from the waight. the front wall would only have a space about 2 inchs high and 6 inchs wide and eye level for Xiu to look out of but she would only see what into front of her. Xiu would have steal spikes all the way around her and if she breathed to big or moved a single inch, she would be pierced by many spikes. She would only have a inch between her and the spikes, all the way around. the question now was how long could she stand in one spot with out moving a inch. Suddenly, she would see Boon step into veiw through the small port in the front spiked wall and Boon would speak loadly-
Boon: you Damn fool, first, no one lashes at me on my ship and i mean no one. Second, those black dragons arnt slaves! they fight with us on there on free will. they are loyal to Sirus cause he takes care of them better then anyone else ever has. They are fighters and troops just like use and they see Sirus as there god. Third, Sirus will kill that boy toy of a vampire of yours cause he betrayed sirus in there one on one battle, and for the simple fact the he is the general of tent city, that alone has sealed his fate and as for your family, the creature who killed Sirus's loved luecinda, is still alive but it cant be killed, the queen of blades is unlike anything you have ever seen, so i have been told and the love of luecinda is the only thing that will save the realm and all the others from Sirus's wrath, so get over your self. we all have lost ones we loved. now lets see how long you can stand with in those spikes.
- Boon then turns and walks up the stairs where Xiu would hear him saying to another ship mate-
Boon: prep my old armor, I have plans for it but make sure my new armor is completely sealed up. Sirus sensed what that little wench had done and him and I wont let it happen again. prepair to open portals, we got work to do.
- Suddenly Xiu would hear the slaming of the door to the top of the stairs and now there was no sound in side the brig but her self-
