DJL summary:

This story follows the events in the Great War between the CORE Empire and the Human/Magical Alliance of Earth.

Seeing as we've had no sign of the Dark Dragon, (from ADJL) or Chang whatsoever, then I think it should be safe to say that this story takes place..... oh, let's say about a year or two after the events in "Hong Kong Longs".

Well, until the summary is post, here's my story post to tide you guys over:

Meanwhile....

Near a river in a battle scared section of New York.....

Nigal Thrall was brooding. Coredeath was still alive, somehow having been able to escape from Arkansan's mind before he could kill her.

If only those other two dragons hadn't interfered, fumed the young sorcerer, then I could have finished them both, and killed two birds with one stone.

As if to emphasize his point, he picked up a nearby stone and threw it into the river. Unaware that something was watching him from below it's murky depths....

He turned his back on the sluggish water, planning to head back to the hideout he shared with Coredeath. Suddenly, something large and fast slammed into him!

Nigal rolled over, thrashing to get the creature off him, but soon found himself pinned by it. He finally stopped struggling and looked up at the beast holding him down. It was a kelpy.

“Well, well.....” hissed the kelpy, “Looks like my lucky day.”

“Wait!”, yelled Nigal, “Do I look like a magical creature to you?! Kelpies don't eat humans!”

“You're no human,” said the kelpy, “sorcerer, and magical creatures are hard to come by. Most of them were killed off by the invaders, or have gone into hiding. These are hard times even for me. I take what I can get!”

It leaned in closer to him, fangs inching towards his throat. Desperate, Nigal cried out, “Wait! Wait! I'll- I'll make a deal with you!”

The kelpy stopped, glaring down at him. “You're in no position to be making deals,” it sneered, “What could you possibly offer?”

Thinking fast, Nigal said, “I have a proposition for you, an offer you can't refuse.”

The kelpy's eyes narrowed. “what kind of offer?”

“You say the hunting has been rather slim for you, correct?”

“Why should it concern you?” snapped the sea beast, “I could eat you now and be done with it.”

“But that's just my point.” said Nigal, with a sly edge to his voice, “If you eat me, you'll be hungry again in a day or two at most. Why settle for that, when, if you let me live, I could see to it that you have enough prey to keep you satisfied for years?”

The hungry kelpy seemed intrigued by this. “What kind of prey?”

“Why, your favorite, of course.” said Nigal, “Dragons.”

The beast's eyes lit up at the sound of that word. Drool started dribbling from it's mouth onto the sorcerer's clothes, but he tried his best to ignore it.

“Entire flocks of strong, healthy dragons....” said Nigal, tempting the beast further, “And I can lead you straight to them.”

“How could you possibly manage that?” hissed the kelpy.

“Let me up, and I'll explain it further.” said Nigal.

The creature glared at him suspiciously, then say, “Very well, but no tricks.” It got up, and the young sorcerer got to his feet.

After brushing himself off, he turned to the kelpy and said, “They live in a cave system under Central Park. But you'll never get past the main entrance, even with your shape-shifting powers. They have spells placed on all the entrances to ward off kelpies and other unwanted magaical creatures.”

“Then how do I get in?” asked the kelpy.

“Not to worry, my slippery friend.” Nigal said slyly, “I've been scrying the base, and I've found a way in. There is a nearby spring that runs right into a pool in the lower caves of the base. It's been warded against poison and disease, but nothing else. The underwater tunnel is just big enough for you to get through.” (To scry, means to see with magic, using crystal, fire, water, mirrors, smoke, or anything with a reflective surface.)

The keply eyed him warily. “Your kind never give anything freely,” it said, “What do you want in return for this?”

Nigal smiled slyly at the kelpy. "Oh, not much. A small favor. There is a young female dragon living in those caves." As he spoke, he formed an image of the dragoness in midair. "She is known as Arkansan."

"And you want me to bring her to you." said the kelpy.

The sorcerer's smile widened. "She has.... information, that is of value to me." He said carefully. There was no way he was going to tell the kelpy about Arkansan's powerful gemstone, The Heart of Draco. If I get my hands on that stone.... he thought, I'll have enough power to out-match Coredeath himself! He went on, "Weaken her, disable her if you must, but I want her brought to me alive. Once I have what I need from her. I'll let you eat her, along with anything else you can catch in those caves."

The kelpy seemed pleased with this offer. Then he asked, "What creatures live in those lower caves?"

"The only creatures that go down that far," said Nigal, "are the dwarves who mine there. They search for metals and elements that are used by the other creatures and humans."

"Perfect." said the kelpy, "Dwarves are easy enough to deal with. With the right disturbance, I can make the dragons come straight to me."

"So we have a deal then?" asked Nigal.

The kelpy gave him a twisted smile.

"Deal."

...........................................

Back at Alliance HQ....

Arkansan had caught Jason up on the events that had happened during his time frozen in the mountains. And Jason had told her what had happened to him.

"But, how did you survive being frozen in that avilanch for two years?" asked Arkansan, when Jason had finished his story.

"I cast a spell on myself just before I got buried," he said, "it kept me alive in a state of suspended animation until I woke up."

"Uh, look I don't mean to break this up," said Jake, who was looking at the hole that had been blasted into the wall, "but I'd just like to know one thing. What the heck happened out here?! And where's Artemis?"

"She was trying to slay me and the other Councilors." said Councilor Kulde, "Then this dragon," here he pointed at Jason, "came crashing through the wall and attacked her, and then Templar showed up and they fought each while Artemis fled the scene."

"What?!" said Arkansan, "Artemis wouldn't do that! She may be a hunter, but even she doesn't just attack without reason."

"Wouldn't she?" asked Councilor Andam, "She's tryed to slay you and Kane countless times already."

"He does have a point there." said Kane, looking at Arkansan. She glared at him, and he looked away.

"Wait," said Zinthos, "Arkansan might be on to something. Before Artemis left the room, she said she'd heard something out in the hallway."

"I know how to settle this." said Fu Dog, coming up to them, "We can just watch the tape on the survallince camera." He pointed up to the camera mounted in a corner of the ceiling.

The old dog pulled a VCR and a small TV out of the wrinkles in his fur, as Jake flew up to the camera and got the tape. They all gathered around to watch as he played back the last hour or so.

When it was over, Arkansan turned to the Councilors and said, "There! You see?! She wasn't trying to slay you at all, she was trying to save us from Templar!"

"Arkansan, calm down-" started Jason, but the young dragoness rounded on him instead.

"And you! Since when did you start attacking first and asking questions later?!"

Jason just stared at her, unsure of how to answer.

Arkansan whirled away from him, heading for the window.

"Where are you going?!" asked Rose.

"Going to find Artemis before Templar or Coredeath does." said Arkansan, and before aanyone could stop her, she was out the window and flying away over the hill....

The Dragon Councilors looked at each other, then glanced at the others gathered there, as if asking for some explaination to Arkansan's sudden outburst.

Kane stepped forward, saying, "You'll have to excuse her, Councilors, she's been through a lot recently...."

(Next!)

Summary (for all you turkeys wanting to join DJL, but don't know what the hell is going on):

Ok, so in part 1, more or less Arkansan and Coredeath started DJL, just going back and forth between the two of them.

Coredeath um...arrives on Earth, and starts tracking down ArkansanDragon to steal the Heart of Draco, which she has. Kind of sketchy on the start of the story.

Anyways, for the next 200 or so pages of DJL, Arkansan keeps getting captured, rescued by Jake, Rose, and the others, and getting captured by Coredeath again.

Sometime along part 2, Lao Shi gets killed.

Anyways, in part 3, an alliance is formed between Magical Creatures and Humans, to stop Coredeath, who has taken over the world.

Coredeath needs the heart of draco to have enough power to contact Core Prime, and finish Earth, and get back to him homeworld.

So anyways....somewhere in about part 4, HgName (username at the time, later changed to "Artemis" courtesy of Magan) and Kane (Mike) joined the story.

Anyways...still a bit sketchy on what happens from there. I think my character stole the heart of Draco a few times. Then Coredeath had.....some plan or another. Always seem to forget.

Anyways, Kane was a part of the Huntsclan, turned half dragon. Later, due to an injury, he lost his memory, went into coma, ended up coming out of coma and was able to go Full dragon.

Then Artemis lost her memory for a while, I don't know, amnesia seems to be a reoccurring theme in DJL.

Anyways, Kane and Arkansan got captured by Coredeath um......again, for the nth time.

Oh yeah, I forgot, I seem to remember Kane getting tortured a lot in the story, along the way.
Torture is also a fun reoccurring theme in DJL.

Anyways, eventually, we come up to the part of the story in which Coredeath was attempting to destroy Arkansan through her dreams , but it, didn't work.

Then, Templar, one of the Core characters, (Grevious's character) was in the Alliance HQs.

And then...Nigel was working with coredeath. but now isn't. and wants to capture Arkansan.

And now, Coredeath is gonna post, dangit.

and I think we've voted Heda Ledro joins DJL, so he's welcome to introduce his character into the story.

It had been weeks since Coredeath was the one hiding from the Allience this time, defeated and failed to murder that cursed Arkanson once more, he was become more twisted with every passing day.

living in what he could only desribe as a slum was sick and tired of it, trying despretly to plan his next move

"ARGHHHHHH!"

Coredeath drove into a rage, throwing a filing cabinet which goes crashing into a wall

"IM SICK OF THIS!!........reduced to nothing and eating...what is this??" looking at the label of the tin "damn human food! bah!"

Just then, Nigal came in hearing all the noise

"what is the matter with you now?! Coredeath"

Coredeath just glared at him, stood up and started walking over to the sorcecer

"You!! you said this would work, that Arkanson would be dead! but she isnt is she??"

Nigal just laughed, en raging Coredeath a tad more

"With all due respect...haha....Coredeath, I just sent you there, for the record, your the one who failed to kill her"

Coredeaths eye twitched, he didnt like being proved wrong

"DAMN YOU!!!!"

And with that he stormed out, taking flight, leaving Thrall to his thoughts....

Coredeath flew over the battle scared New York, spotting bones, wreckage and demolished Droids....smirking he continued his flight

"hmph!...pathectic humans, the dragons are just as inferior, mind you, since gaining their powers for myself they are pretty strong, but they come from humans, and humans are weak, frail and easily manipulated"

Thats true, Coredeath managed to fool 100s of humans that the Allience was their enemy, and many signed up in the Consript ranks of the Core, but that was years ago, and everyone knows of the Empires true intentions now

He coninued, until movement below stopped him, he hovered there looking at the object below, he reconised the symbol it wore at once and he spits fire"

"Grr, Allience scum...hmm....looks like a supply truck, it may have food, radios, I'll think I will pay them a little visit", he lands just round a corner which the truck is going to turn, making sure his backs to it

The truck comes grinding to a halt when it turns the corner, and the two crew get out

"Excuse me sir! are you lost, if you want we can take your back to Alleince HQ?"

Coredeath doesent say anything, just keeping his back to them

"Sir! I really must protest, its not safe out here"

"No...its really not safe out here" as Coredeath turns around, they step back, alarmed that its.....him "Not safe for you that is"

"C-c-c-coredeath??? your dead??"

"Erm....no I dont think so" and with that he charges putting his claw clean through one of the crew, he gurgles blood and falls limp, throwing that one off him, Coredeath turns to the other one, smiling "well now that was fun wasent it?"

"P-p-please, dont kill me!" he got down begging

"Now now, be a man about it, bwhahahahahahahaha!!!" Coredeath strikes him down to

"HAH! pathetic humans"

He goes round the back and starts taking everything he can find usefull, tools, radios and most importantly...food...he'd been eating some kind of seed in a red liquid, which was discusting, what he had here was meats, "perfect"

"And now to use these radios an tools, Im going to contact Core Prime if its the last thing I do"

He flew back to where he left Thrall, only to see him talking to a green figure that dived back under the water before he could make out what it was, he lands behind Thrall

"Thrall!"

"AH!, huh? Coredeath...you startled me, cooled off yet?"

"Yes....who were you tallking to?"

"Oh, no-one"

"Hmm, I see..."

He said raising an eye ridge

(next)

"Anna, when are you going to post on DJL?"
"Anna, why haven't you posted?"

Anna says where's her paycheck, for being expected to be a full time writer on this story. Give me a break, give me some time to post!

And panthean, you turkey, if you're posting next, read the previous posts, DON'T insert new characters, and TRY to make your posts easy for the rest of us to follow along.




Arkansan searched the landscape below, coming to land in front of the Headquarters Gate.

"I'm looking for someone named Artemis, did you see her leave here?" she asked the guards.

"Who? Sorry, but no one's been through here."

"There was a vehicle transporting civilians that left almost an hour ago," said the other guard.

Taking flight, Arkansan set off. It wasn't long before she caught up with the vehicle below, as it was long, filled with people, and not going very fast.

Landing beside the road, she lit a breath of fire, signaling the vehicle to stop.

"Hello Miss, are you getting on?" asked the driver.

"Actually, I'm looking for someone," she said, stepping into the lighted bus.

Knowing instantly that this was Arkansan, a very prominent leader of the Alliance, the driver waited while she made her way through the vehicle.

In the back, Artemis glanced up to see that that obnoxious Arkansan had found her here, somehow. Ducking, she made her way to the rear exit.

"I guess she's not here," said Arkansan.
All of a sudden, she spotted a movement towards the back. It was Artemis!

"Artemis, wait!" she yelled, as the rear door slammed shut.

Close behind, Arkansan exited the bus too.

"Artemis, where are you?" she said, searching the dark surrounding.

Meanwhile.....

The kelpy had made its way through along the stream , as Nigel had instructed. But driven by hunger, he quickly went in search of a fast-meal before continuing on to the Alliance Headquarters.

A long truck rambled past. The Kelpy could smell the blood of many a creature, at least a few magical beings to make a quick feed. All of a sudden the vehicle came to a perfect stop in front of him. A small figure burst out the back, followed by another.

"Mmmmmm" sniffed the Kelpy, "Dragon blood."

"Artemis, where are you?" a voice called, only a few feet from him.

Pouncing, the kelpy landed on his prey, desperate to finally feed...

__________________________________________________________

"Uhhhhhh!" yelled Arkansan , as the breath was knocked out of her.
Turning over to defend herself, she could barely struggle as the creature on top of her had already sunk its jagged teeth into her shoulder.

"Arkansan!" gasped Artemis, emerging from the nearby forestry.

Arkansan thought the Kelpy, this is the same dragon the wizard wants.

Growling in frustration at his deprived meal, the Kelpy released his mouth from around the struggling dragon.

A human stood in front of him, unsheathing a bladed, staff-like weapon.

With a twisted grin, the kelpy transformed into a full sized troll; a side effect of feeding on magical creatures, it had the ability to take on their physical form, as well as any powers they had.

Slinging the Dragon over his troll sized shoulder, the kelpy swung at the human in front of him, sending her sprawling back.

Then, the kelpy transformed again into a Griffen, flying off with Arkansan...

Next, next, as next.

((OOC: Yeah, I know, double post. But I want this to be noticeable so that people KNOW I posted. In time, I may introduce other characters into the RP, but for now I am only using Hera Ledro. I WOULD ASK that nobody else actually uses him in their posts; you may interact with him, but please leave his decisions, speech, and actions up to me to decide.

If there are any inconsistencies with my post and the actual plotline of DJL, PLEASE let me know so that I can fix it up.))

Hera Ledro crouched in the alleyway of New York City. It had been some days that he had been following a young boy named Jake Long. The child was a prodigy, to be sure, and had an ability which struck home for Hera: he could turn into a Dragon.

It was this one similarity between he and Hera's own descendant, Jacob King, that attracted Hera's attention. Through the days spent monitoring Jake Long, Hera could tell that there was very little in common between his descendant and this Dragon-child, but he was still and engaging young man.

Though Hera had kept to the shadows during his expeditions, he could not help but feel that this Jake Long was aware of his presence. Everywhere Jake went, Hera went, and he had often been very close to being spotted. The boy was more vigilant than he impressed, a sure quality which had evolved from the years he'd spent protecting the magical world of Earth.

Hera Ledro had been considered a part of this 'magical world' when he had lived on Earth during the medieval ages. It was also during this time that the Huntsclan had arose, and the Allsie had found himself fighting alongside several of the Dragons whose grandsires he'd saved nearly two million years past. It had not been a pleasant time; the Huntsclan was bent on the destruction of those they considered a threat to humanity, and they were brutally efficient. When trade and commerce began to circulate East and become more involved, so did the Huntsclan, and the addition of the Eastern arts to their arsenals had made them all the more deadly.

When the Huntsclan had become a little more subdued, Hera found himself having to leave the planet, though he asked the Dragons not to breathe a word of his assistance; should the humans discover alien organisms, they would surely act as the Huntsclan did.

And now, more than two centuries later, Hera found himself watching over the boy who had fought the American Huntsclan for an extended period of time. He would have to make his presence known soon, or risk losing what little chance he had of earning the boys trust.

After all, a blue-furred alien with a long tail (complimented with a wickedly sharp scythe-shaped blade on the end) may not be the most welcome sight to a young man, much less one who grew up in the human world.

((OOC: Thoughts? I tried to cut it off so that I could let you guys post, but I've got A LOT more where this came from.

...Wow, that actually took me fifteen minutes XD))

Your post looks good except for one thing..... last I heard, Jake was still at the Alliance HQ.

Oh, and I should warn you about a rule that we've been using recently in DJL. Because of the trouble we've been having with Panthean creating too many characters, we've agreed on a character limit. No more then 2 main characters per person. If you make any more then that, they have to be considered "fair-game" (meaning that anyone can play them.)

The following is a message that I offered to write for Magan, to save her the trouble:

To all participants of the DJL:

As of now, we have a separate thread for non-story or larger out-of-character posts. It is located here (click the word "here"). Please refrain from posting non-story material in this thread, and instead post it in the Discussion Thread specified. Small OOC posts are alright, but please keep them small.
