So this is my life?

[Tristan Knightrhode]

OOC: i thought he was 8'8", full height.

Tristan stood idle as Leon looked through the book, still waiting on his partner. It seemed to be a common thing for Tristan to raise his eyebrow at something, as there it went again, when Leon spoke and took an odd stance. Tristan slid a foot back in a readied position, now waiting for an assault as the lightning perculated about.

When the being appeared, the eyebrow raised further, as it tended to. Tristan adjusted his sun glasses, a simple nudge, pushing them back up to the bridge of his nose and, "Interesting. A high level elemental?" Tristan said, half to himself, half to Leon and the huge being that made its name known. "Now there's something I've never seen. A pleasure as well, Tristan Knightrhode." What he'd never seen was a talking elemental, if thats what this Tassadar was.

"Here comes my partner as well..." The hunter said, glancing up to see Igneus circling down lazily. The black dragon, in his smaller form, plopped down on the right shoulder of his currently larger friend. What is that? Igneus asked, mentally. [Not sure...I'm also not sure if it can hear you so I'd watch it.]

"This is Igneus. I found him a year before I came here." Tristan said to the both of them. The tiny dragon snorted a burst of flame in acknowledgement, and dipped its head.

[Leon]

((OoC: Whoops, I musta had 6 on the brain. XD))

Leon stood idle as Tai was usually a better talker, and spoke for Leon when he wanted to say something so people didn't have to wait forever to hear it. Tai looked at the guy and then upward as the small black dragon came to earth, a small mental conversation exchanged between Leon and Tai as Leon as always asked what it was.

"I see. . . Yes I am a high level elemental as humans put it. . . Me and this boy are bound by the same life and magic, and there for the same life. If he can talk I can talk, which is probably a plus for me."

"I-"

"Leon would like to add that he likes your friend."

As said before Tai spoke for Leon as a mediater, not rudely, but sometimes Leon couldn;t get the point across and it took forever to hear a simple sentence.

[Tristan Knightrhode]

Tristan listened, while looking over the great being. "I've seen a few elemental's your size...but never one that was even remotely intelligent. Usually duller than your average dog." When Tassadar made the comment after cutting Leon off, it became apparent that they shared a mental link, which would explain the odd moment when the boy stared off into space.

"If you like him now, you should see him when he transforms." Tristan said with a smirk, then jerked his head, indicating for Igneus to take off and do his thing. The black dragon dove off his partners shoulder and caught a small up draft.

It then flapped its wings, and soared high up. A crackling bang set off as Igneus was engulfed in smoke and flame, and emerged in his massive form with a spacious roar. He crashed to the ground, which was only about six feet from where his feet were, and in all his gurth, the trees around the area shook and the ground underfoot split.

Tristan's body was lifted off the ground slightly, then settled back down. He acted as if nothing had happened, and waited for the reaction to the enourmous head that was more or less in Tassadar's face, in a friendly sort of way.

[Leon]

Leon for little to no other ways of putting it, fell on his bum when the dragon changed and hadn't ever seen a creature that big before. He was still on the ground when Tai grabbed his arm and hefted him to his feet easily. He did this without taking a glance away from the big dragon, who was only yey tall a little bit ago. Leon 'Voiced' is speechlessness to Tai who then translated his undescipherable wordings.

"Leon says thats a big boy. And I'm very impressed it takes alot I hear to earn the trust of a dragon. You must be special in your own ways. I've also sensed something else about you."

Which was the truth Tassader had been sensing something different, not usre what it was, but it was different. Which made him an interesting person enough to attract magical creature, and even more so to gain the strength of a dragon as an allie, a black dragon no less. From reports Black Dragons are supposedly among the most brutal, they may be smaller than the ever towering red dragons, but Black dragons are way less than nice when it comes to what they believe and protect.

[Tristan Knightrhode]

Tristan nearly laughed at Leon's reaction, though contained it as he'd seen it before. It was a priceless sight when your prey had friends, got cocky, then had that expression of 'oh fuck.' when they saw the massive black dragon.

"Actually, I found him as an egg, hatched almost as I went to destroy it. It was on a lizard demon, so I'm thinking 'demon egg'." The hunter said, "I touched him, and the mental link took hold. We've been bonded ever since." He finished explaining. Igneus took in the smell of the two lightning users, and would remember it and their energy signatures. Though the ambient energy that Tai gave off as a lightning elemental gave the beast a bit of a static tickle in his nasal passages.

"He's probably going to keep growing. It slowed down after the first year, but as far as I know, Dragon's never stop growing. As long as their rider is still alive, those bonded to riders, they will live and keep growing." He expressed his thoughts, then waited for Tai's. This could start a debate, but Tristan could use a good argument.

[Leon]

Leon looked to Tai and the massive body of the elemental creature leaned alittle to its side as if they where speaking in whispers. Once their little conversation ended Tai began to shift, he himself had not heard much of dragon eggs hatching for humans unless he was chosen to be with this dragon until they died. Which was a very special bond. Soon enough the spikey blonde haired boy gave Tai a good nudge with the tip of his shoe on Tai's leg. So he began to speak.

"I have not heard of a dragon egg hatching for a human or any other creature besides its mom, but that would only mean Igneus chose you and you two where destined to be partners. You have a VERY special gift."

Tassader thought back, as far as he could to the oldest and biggest Dragons he had seen. The creature was beyond huge, a single full grown male human would only have matched the length of on eof its smaller teeth. It was a good thing Igneus still seemed pretty young comparatively to that dragon, also he was able to hide his true size in a 'Mini-me' Version. The only reason Leon thought of the mini-me thing was because one of the movies he saw was Austin Powers: Gold Member.

[Tristan Knightrhode]

Tristan grinned slightly at the statement. "That I do." He patted Igneus' neck, right by his head. "Not only are dragon's just about the most powerful ally you can have. The link gives a hunter like myself a connection to other intelligent life. It also keeps ones sanity under isolation." The Crusnik leaned against his partners hide, resting his arm on one of the huge spikes that protruded from the beasts head.

"No doubt, you two know what I mean. While you, Leon, may be a little slow, Tai completes you, and informs you. Am I right?" He mused, almost playfully. "And you, Tassadar, Leon gives you an aspect of Innocence you might not have as a free roaming elemental. Right?" He finished.

It was no easy task to comprehend the connection that Tristan and Igneus shared, unless you, yourself had that connection with another being. With that prospect, it was easy to see how Tristan could glean that sort of idea about these two.

[Leon]

As the preying mantice somehow found its way onto Tai's head it looked at Igneus and then Tristan, swaying with the wind to mimic leeves as the real version of it does to keep from being spotted. Leon and Tai shared a glance and a quick few words in their mind, even for Tai it was a fast few words. Tai was impressed to say the least and if he had a way to smile and show it, then he would.

"Thats impressive deducting skills you have there. You are right about how different we are. And also right about how it helps us get along."

((OoC: Not really in that state of mind for big quality posts.))

[Tristan Knightrhode]

Another small grin played across Tristan's face. "Alot of people around here have amazing deductive skills, as you put it. Not to mention, the link between you is almost identical as the one Igneus and I share. Only you, Tassadar, can speak verbally. Igneus can only communicate to, and through psychics." Tristan patted his partner, who growled and unfortunate affirmative.

It was iritating for the dragon to not be able to voice things himself, short of speaking with Roy, Sebastian, or another person with psychic abilities.

Igneus then rose his head slightly, taking a whiff of the metalic bug ontop of the elemental's head. No scent, aside from Leon. Just smells of oil and steel. Igneus thought out. [It is a metal bug, so what do you expect?] Tristan returned, adjusting himself for the slightly different position of the massive head.

[Leon]

Unsuspected by the four beings present was the electromagnetic storm on the way. There has only been one other incident involving Leon and a storm of this magnitude, and what happened was the reason he no longer has a home village. Sure Ziare a spell caster at the time as well had stayed outside his door while Leon's screams of pain could be heard through the night as the storm passed by, but a storm like this could not only rip away Leon's magical control, but his humanity.

As it has been said long, long ago. The Sudeki clan had not only mastered the control of the impure magic over electricity, but they had fused themselves with it, making them more, or less depending how you look at it, human. The electrical magic has flowed through the generations making it easier to use, which is why Leon doesn't have to use encantations, except for using the Rah-Ken attack. But he is the newest generation and the most intune, if this electromagnetic storm catches Leon in the open along with this close to the clouds desaster could strike again, or lightning could strike twice.

Luckily Tai felt the shift in the air far off, easilt as the clouds slowly began to look less and less friendly, if one loked carefully, the spikey blonde hair would of only been at half way pointed upward. Which already showed how the weather was effecting him. Tassaders attitude immediatly changed. He seemed more rigid, more straight and prepared.

"Theres a storm coming. . . We need to get somewhere very well protected by a berrier of some kind."

Even the lowest level magic user knows there is no need for a magical berrier durring a storm, so this could draw odd questions.

[Tristan Knightrhode]

Tristan did think it was odd. The weather on Babylos was controlled by the one of the massive rooms below the surface, or so the hunter thought. "Natural weather can't really reach up here." He said, slightly bestranged. He then thought about recent events: His first mission, the other missions that had been reported, the movements of the Order.

With that in mind, he realized that any sort of storm up here might not be natural, but some sort of assault. "We can go to the underground. The basement levels of the Academy where alot of Vampires hang around during the day. Some area's are restricted, but the unrestricted area's could squeeze every student of the Academy inside." He offered, and waited for the response. If they did want to go underground, they could go to one of the entrances just off of the main entrance hall.

OOC: short >.>

[Leon]

That sounded like a good idea. Think of Leon as a gaint Lightning rod that can obsorb and produce electricity inan unlimited supply, durring en electrical storm of enough magnitude can rip the very magic from his body forcefully, and either cause him to lose control and destroy the area around him, or the lightning magic that has been transfused into his family for generations would completely ahnihilate his human parts and leave him a pure elemental spirit. Well those are the possibilities at any rate. So Tai looked to the human and nodded before tapping Leon on the shoulder with the huge arm of his. A small sign of encouragement as if saying 'It will be ok.'

"Thats a good idea, though he may still get hit with the effects of the electro magnetic storm, the effects will be diminished, and we should be able to handle any vampires that are there."

Tai and Leon would follow Tristan to the place since it was his suggestion and they neither knew were it was. But Leon did cast one last spell, which was his magnetism, which is an odd spell for a Sudeki to use since they can 'Feel' metal and pick out a certain metal object to be magnetised to them, and it just so happened to be his spear fgrom out of his room. It magnetised to his back and they would be off.

[Tristan Knightrhode]

Tristan listened to Tai. It seemed like Leon, apparently a lightning mage, was a lightning rod and would get electricuted or even explode with the entire force of his mana should he get caught in a thunderstorm. "Alright...Come on." The first to Leon and Tai, the second to Igneus who, in a massive ball of smoke, appeared in his smaller form on Tristan's shoulder who, was already a few meters away by the time the smoke cleared.

Tristan marched over to the stairs infront of the main entrance. The huge doors opened for the bunch of them, and the hunter continued down the hall. His footsteps, rushed and heavy, echoed loudly in the mostly empty hall. He went to the right and stopped infront of a dark door. He then waited for Leon and Tai to catch up.

OOC: short...I'll make a thread in the lower academy.
