This is CloudStorm, a Hero Fury adopted from GreenCheekParot on the SoD forums.

CloudStorm is the guardian dragon of The Yeluintain Isles, protecting all the dragons on the isle.

CloudStorm stalked silently through the many connecting tunnels that led through the mountain he called home. He'd heard dragons letting out distress calls not too long ago; mainly from Monstrous Nightmares and Deadly Nadders. From what he could tell by the calls, an violent dragon had decided to take residence on the normally peaceful island. As if CloudStorm would let that happen.

Slipping through a side tunnel from the main one, he was greeted with a cold gust of wind. Raising his right wing to keep the wind from continually whipping at his eyes, he hopped down from the ledge the tunnel had lead down, landing on thanfully solid ground. Unlike most Night Furies (I know he's a Hero Fury, that'll come up later), he lacked the dark scales that helped camoflauge the almost extinct species in the dead of night. Of course, since his scales were such a light blue-white color, he could easily camoflauge himself in the clouds- hence his name. Shaking his head slightly and raising his ear-fins, he looked around, light white eyes scanning his surrounds for an form of enemies.

Lowering his head and bounding forward, his sharp ears quickly picked the shrieking distress call of a Deadly Nadder. Spinning around on his feet, he took to the air, heading West in search of the source. It was only about ten minutes when he spotted the Deadly Nadder and the offending dragon that had triggered the distress call. A large StormCutter towered over the surprisingly small Deadly Nadder, fangs bared with its pupils tiny black slits. Diving down in front of the Deadly Nadder and facing the StormCutter with a harsh snarl, CloudStorm coud easily tell why there had been so many distress calls. A dragon of this- and a StormCutter at that- would cause most of the friendly dragons here on the island to turn tail and fly as far away as possible.

The StormCutter, distracted from the Deadly Nadder, hissed furiously before rearing back as CloudStorm fired a waring shot dangerously close to its wing. When the StormCutter failed to take the hint and instead stalked forwards, growling, CloudStorm quickly took to the air so he was eye-level with the StormCutter. Firing three plasma blasts was enough to make the StormCutter back away, cowering slightly. Of course, StormCutter tended to be a prideful species so the opposing dragon merely stepped forwards again, refusing to back down completely. Lunging downwards and scoring his claws down the StormCutter's face seemed to give it the hint as it flailed backwards, much to CloudStorm's satisfaction. Firing three more plasma blasts at the StormCutter, it reluctantly flew off, casting CloudStorm a furious glare and a loud roar before vanishing from sight.

Returning to the rocky ground, CloudStorm turned his head towards the Deadly Nadder, checking over the dark purple dragon for any injuries. Finding none, CloudStorm tilted his head to the said. "Are you injured in any way?" The Deadly Nadder did nothing but stare for a few minutes before shaking its head frantically. "No, no, I'm not hurt! Bu-but thank you for getting rid of that dragon! It's been bothering everyone." Pleased that the friendly Nadder wasn't hurt in any way, CloudStorm flicked his ear-fins upwards. "Have you any idea why that StormCutter was terrorizing everyone?" CloudStorm questioned curiously, tucking his wings against his sides. Shaking its head, the Nadder replied, "I think it wanted this to be its home and didn't want anyone else here?" Pausing for a few seconds, the nadder added, "But still, thank you! You're a..a Hero Fury!" The Nadder bounced up sharply, sudden excitement flashing in its eyes as it quickly zoomed off to inform the other dragon's of this 'Hero Fury'.

CloudStorm tilted his head to the side before shrugging and flying off in the opposite direction.

Perhaps he really was a Hero Fury.

This is Tyuinain, my Dullahandramon adopted from NightmareRebuff.

"Beware the village that never sleeps,

Beware the creature that never stops.

Never enter this creature's home,

Never venture to this broken horror,

Through the trees and into the silence.

In that village,

The creature follows,

Should he catch you,

You're doomed to meet your demise."

Of course, this seemingly nonsensical horrid tale told to children meant nothing to Taylor. She couldn't care less about this lame story told to frighten children at night. She definitely couldn't care about dying as she didn't believe that there was anything even at that pathetic, broken and destroyed village.

 

She did, however, care about venturing into the "broken horror".

 

Nothing had ever managed to scare the 20-year-old daredevil, and she would never give any creature the pleasure of frightening her. Rolling her eyes, she hopped into the chair at her desk and searched up the old tale, oddly called "The Dullahandramon". Rolling her eyes once again at the strange tale's strange name, she scrolled through the websites that the internet provided her, going through seven pages of random and unhelpful websites when one finally caught her.

 

It's title was almost as odd as the tale itself. It was merely called, "Beware the Deadly Armored Horror". Shaking her head in disbelief of the title, she clicked onto the website and was promptly greeted with a black and grey screen with the words "Beware the Deadly Armored Horror" in big, horribly bright red words at the top. Cringing at the obnoxiously bright letters, Taylor flicked her pale brown gaze to the subtitles as she scrolled down the page, stopping when she spotted a subtitle called, "Location of the Deadly Armored Horror". Taylor shook her head again, snickering under her breath- whoever made this website was crazy. 

 

Scrolling down at a slower pace, she noticed the location's area, with a picture of the village to go with it. "Aruan Village, located in Washington...surrounding towns are Ulley Town, Yurami Town and Tyuinain Town.." Taylor mumbled under her breath, mentally cheering as she read the final town's name aloud. Thankfully, she lived in Tyuinain Town, just on the outskirts- apparently the closest area to the supposedly abandoned Aruan Village. 

 

Smirking in triumph at managing to get some details as to where the village was, she pushed herself up from her chair, and headed towards her bed. She'd head to Aruan Village tomorrow, she decided.

Taylor glanced around curiously as she rode her black and purple mountain bike along a rocky path that had opened up as she got closer to what she assumed was Aruan Village. She had slept for quite a while and she'd woken up at around 6:00 P.M. She didn't care though. She had a light hooked onto her bike that was currently on and a small bag slung over her back with four flashlights in it, all with new batteries- she wasn't scared, no, but she didn't know whether or not a serial killer was there or something.

 

At the very least, she'd have multiple light sources that she could easily use should she run into anything. Granted, the most dangerous creature she'd encountered so far was a squirrel that she accidently crushed with her bike's tires. She felt bad for the innocent squirrel.

 

Finally, after what she assumed was at least an hour, the village came into view. By now, it was at least 9:30 P.M. seeing as she had woken up at 6:00 P.M. and left at 8:00 P.M. Dismounting her bike, Taylor fished one flashlight out of her bag and flicked it on, turning to face the village. A weird sense of dread crept into her mind as she did, but she simply shook it off. Nothing scared her. Nothing would even scare her. And this lame, torn up, broken down village would absolutely not scare her. She hoped, anyways,

 

Approaching the village, however, seemed to increase the horrible feeling of dread even more. Gritting her teeth and running her free hand through her blue-dyed hair, she continued forwards, waving the flashlight about warily. After looking around after a good ten minutes, she approached the only house that wasn't completed broken. Peering inside, she mentally noted the claw marks on the wall. And the smell of blood. Now that she thought about it, the blood seemed to be accompanied with a weird metal-y smell. Kind of like copper- even though blood did smell like copper already. Hesitantly creeping towards the largest area of stained blood, her shoulders hunched inwards in what she prayed wasn't fear, she knelt down to observe it. She brushed the light from her flashlight over the area, confusedly noticing a broken, tiny piece of...silver? Or was that bronze? Perhaps copper?

 

She shook her head, not really knowing which it was as she pushed herself up to her feet and quickly left that house. Approaching a larger house, which was far more broken, she could have sworn a low growl passed through the doorway- at least, she assumed it was the doorway. The door was gone and the wall had other door-shaped smashes in it. Stepping inside through one of the possible doorways, her entire body went tense as a louder growl rang through the damaged area. Taylor barely had enough time to register the fact that this was probably the blacksmith's house when she found herself screeching in frantic panic and fear as an odd, mist-like creature lunged from out of the dark, metallic armor flashing briefly as it chased after her- the moment she caught glimpse of it, she booked it towards her bike.

 

Desperately praying to whatever higher power there might be that she wouldn't hidethat night, she noticed the metal gleam of her bike, leaned up against a tree. She'd dropped her flashlight, she barely realized, and thanked everyone she knew in her that the moonlight passed over her bike. Grabbing it by the handles, she suddenly found herself becoming hyper-aware of the sounds of slamming footsteps and the clanking of metal behind her as she sprinted forwards a few steps before hopping onto her bike and slamming her feet down on the pedals.

 

She spared a glance over her shoulder, being able to see the creature slightly. It's armor seemed darker than it should be in the night, yet the red mist that made up its form and its practically glowing red eyes was unmistakable. She forced her feet harder against the pedals as she turned her gaze forwards quickly, hardly aware of the trees flashing past her. Taylor was even less aware when she realized that something had popped her bike's back tire. She didn't even notice as something snapped around her neck and when something stabbed into her stomach.

A female reporter, dressed in a black and white pan-suit, faced the high-tech camera being carried by some random camera-man that is highly unimportant to the backstory. "From what doctors told us," the reporter- Amanda- explained, her voice serious. "The fatal wounds inflicted on 20-year-old Taylor Seyluina were caused by an unknown creature. Doctors say that the wounds had the distinct scent of copper, silver and bronze, and scientists ran tests that revealed that something of those matierals had, in fact, mysteriously been the cause of Taylor's death."

This is Syevux, an Oriental Serpentfang adopted from NightmareRebuff on the SoD forums.

Syevus is rather vindictive- he enjoys taking revenge on those he holds grudges against and other dragons at random.

Syevux is highly violent- he holds grudes for long periods of time, only ending those grudges once he's gotten his revenge or believes that whoever the grudge was against has faded from his mind enough for him to forgot about his revenge on them.

While he doesn't hide it very well, Syevux often will  have the random desire to take revenge on virtually any dragon or viking, even when no reason is given about his actions. With that, most dragons (otherwise meaning basically all) avoid Syevux, most often from the fear of him turning his mind towards them- which, 85 percent of the time, results in their death.

I trotted almost silently along the stony pathway of the many forests surrounding the mountain I stayed at, my purple claws breaking the boring silence with quiet ticking noises. I wasn't too fond of the odd silence- I preferred being around other dragons, but I guessed that was just me, considering most other dragons were really grumpy. I shrugged slightly, my wings jutting upwards at the motion. Okay, I didn't really mind, since if other dragons were happy when they were by themselves, then I was happy that they were happy. Simple, really. I shrugged again, picking up my speed into a full-on sprint down the rock-lined path. I'd never questioned why this specific path had rocks and the others didn't, and I'd never gone done this way, so I figured I should today.

I paused slightly once I'd- finally- reached the end of the long path, my tail and wings going stiff with curiousity when I heard voices. Definitely not dragon voices, since these ones sounded nicer and sort of quieter. Most of them sounded quieter, anyway. I peered curiously around, trying to catch sight of whatever was making the voices before catching sight of what I believed was called 'humans'. I'd heard of them, I'd never interacted with them, though. Quietly creeping closer to get a better look, I stared curiously at the three humans standing there. The first was rather boring look, with black hair, pale skin and completely black clothing, the second being shorter than the others with pale, blonde, shoulder-length hair and what looked like a mock-dragon suit. The third had very short blonde-red hair with black, grey and red dragon gear, and what I thought was a bow and arrow over her shoulder, though I couldn't tell, seeing as I couldn't see her back. She was taller than the other two by a few inches, though I didn't notice much. I quickly backed up, tilting my head to the side slightly. Judging from the last human's weapon, they most likely would be hostile. I definitely didn't want to deal with them. 

After a good thirty minutes or so- I couldn't tell or care- the first two humans wandered off in separate directions while the third bid them farewell, remaining in the same area and turning towards my hiding spot, which was behind a bush. A really bad hiding spot for a dragon, mind you. I had to keep myself from jumping when I heard her call out, "Hey. You. Dragon. Stop hiding, I know you're there. I'm suprised the others couldn't hear you over there. Get over here so I can see you." I paused, wondering whether or not I should listen to the human or just run for my freaking life. Shrugging, I hopped out from behind the bush and headed over towards the human, immediately cheerful. The human seemed to frown at my sudden happiness, folding her arms and scowling. "What're you so happy about now?" I watched her blankly, not sure how I was supposed to respond. As far as I knew, I couldn't communicate with her since humans couldn't understand dragons like dragons could understand humans or something. As I was trying to figure this out, the human shook her head slightly, quickly saying, "Whatever. Forget that." 

I nodded, actually trying to forget what she'd said and failing quite a lot. I gave up after a few seconds, looking up to see her staring at me as though she thought I was crazy. The human continued to stare before she shook her head again, turned, and walked away, grumbling in annoyance. I frowned, confused. Where was she going? I thought she was going to stay and be my friend. Puzzled, I hopped after the human, puzzled.

~~A little while later because I'm lazy and need to go to sleep in like half an hour...~~

I almost stopped and fell straight over when the human I was still following turned abruptly to glare at me, annoyed. "Why are you still following me!? Don't you have stuff to do?" I tilted my head at the human, confusedly shaking my head. I didn't really have anything to do in paticular, other than... well, actually, nothing, really. I quickly perked back up, once again happy at my brief state of confusion. The human groaned aloud, clearly irritated. "Really? Can you stop being happy?" I blinked at that question. Huh. I'd never actually tried.. not being happy, now that I thought about it. I stared at the ground, puzzled. What would it be like if I wasn't happy, anyways? Really odd, I supposed. Looking back up, I was actually momentarily disappointed to see the human already disappearing around a bend in the path she'd been following. I froze, honestly feeling as though I could jump from happiness. So that was what it was like to not be happy. Odd and strange. Just like that human. I was about to turn in the opposite direction and walk away when I heard the human call out suddenly. "Hey! Sitrlyx!" I glanced around, looking for any other humans, although there was nobody else there but me on the pathway. I tilted my head again. Why was she calling me Sitrlyx? Before I could attempt to question, the human had sprinted off again. I twitched my tail, happy curiousity bubbling up inside of me. Sitrlyx. I would go by Sitrlyx from now on. Turning, I headed in the opposite direction of the human before I glanced back in the direction of the human.

I nodded to myself, making a silent vow to see that human again. 

This is Soieux, a Nightmare Fury based off of Kingdom Hearts. He was adopted from NightmareRebuff.

I scowled as I trudged down a worn pathway. I was basically in what humans would call 'the middle of nowhere'. I could easily see I was in a forest from the mass of trees scattered about, though most were seemingly held together with extending bushes, vines and needle patches. I snarled under my breath in annoyance, trying to remember how I even ended up here. Really, I couldn't even understand what had happened to make me wind up in the middle of a desolate forest.

I shook my head slightly, clenching my lower green jaw in irritation as I whipped around and stomped back down the way I'd come- hopefully, I wouldn't run back into that Monstrous Nightmare with the Speed Stinger and lunatic Nadder that had a human on it. Ugh. I glared around, scowling, as if I was silently daring anything to cross me. Thank the nonexistant dragon gods nothing did- I probably would have flipped the heck out if anything did and turned the whole dang forest upside down then.

Of course, right when I figured things were starting to go my way, the universe just had to prove me wrong and screw me over once more. Wonderful. I ducked and rolled out of the way as a long burst of fire blazed past me, skimming my left foreleg and leaving a slightly visible burn mark. Well, dang. I tilted my head backwards, hissing furiously, and went deadpan immediately. Seriously? It was that lunatic Deadly Nadder again-- wait. Lunatic Nadder = Monstrous Nightmare, too. And that Monstrous Nightmare = Speed Stinger, too. 

I irritably healed the burn mark on my foreleg via curaga ((I think it can do that? Idk, I had to look at the wiki)) and glared up at the Deadly Nadder as it landed. I raised my wings slightly, not sure whether or not I wanted to fly away or stay and fight when a flash of orange caught my eye. At first, I suspected it to be a Dream Eater Fury before recognizing it as a Speed Stinger. Red eyes widening, I did the first thing that came to mind and lunged forward to avoid the Speed Stinger's poisonous tail-tip. And crashed into the lunatic Nadder who started flailing hysterically under my weight while the human on his back tumbled off. 

I quickly hopped off the Nadder, even more annoyed at this point. Seriously, were these lame excuses of dragons just trying to get killed now? Before I could attack and possibly kill either the Deadly Nadder, Speed Stinger, or Monstrous Nightmare- who had landed behind the Speed Stinger after I dodged it- a loud and very annoyed voice piped up from behind the lunatic Nadder, who twisted its head around in attempt to stare at the source.

"Really, can you NOT be crushing me?!" The tall human spat, as she was currently stuck underneath the Nadder- he'd fallen backwards when I'd jumped on him, as had the human. Thorn shifted upright, making a pitiful squawking noise. "Yeah, tell that to Nexia when you explain to her why you're apologizing for almost suffocating me," the human hissed back. I blinked slightly as the Speed Stinger walked right past me and began making annoying squawking noises at the human as well. If I had actual hands and not claws, I was sure I would do what humans call 'face-palming' right now.

Then the Monstrous Nightmare wandered past the peer down at the apparent dragon-and-human argument. I glanced between the four, noticing that none of them were paying attention to me anymore. I lunged forward slightly, slamming my claws into the back of the Nadder's neck and breaking it easily. Well, that's what the lunatic Nadder got for being... well, a lunatic.

Darting away from the dead small-winged dragon, I dug my fangs into the Speed Stinger's neck, breaking its neck also- whenever I fought without using powers, I aimed for the neck. At this point, the human had gotten onto the Nightmare's back while I could see fire building up in the Nightmare's mouth as he quickly took into the air. I scowled, reversing gravity ((the wiki barely had anything on graviga so I'm assuming he can do that)), the Nightmare flew up easier before I reversed gravity again, forcing the Nightmare back to the ground.

The Nightmare looked confused, as did the human, though that was to be expected now, I guessed, considering they were going to be killed in their own joint nightmare- which was odd. Jumping up, i dug my claws into the back of the Nightmare's neck, just behind its horns and shoved harshly, hearing a weird and loud cracking noise as the Nightmare slumped over. I paused slightly, cast the human a death glare, before lunging and stabbing my claws through its stomach. I quickly spun around and took into the air, tearing my claws from the human's stomach and flying away as quickly as possible with one final thought.

 'Letting your guard down was your worst mistake, human.'

~~Not Soieux's P.O.V anymore. Nexia's P.O.V (oc)~~

I twitched my head upwards, my upwards horns bumping against Thorn, Scarlet's Deadly Nadder. I pulled myself to my feet, careful not to scratch him with my upwards or downwards horns. My cyan glowing patterns illuminated the room as I stood up, the axe-like blades on my tail scraping against the floor-boards as I turned and shoved Thorn with one paw. 'Get up, dummy,' I hissed telepathically. 'You're supposed to be teaching me about titan form Deadly Nadders, now wake up.' 

I jabbed him with my claw this time, scowling when he didn't move at all. I paused, narrowing my eyes slightly. Actually, forget not moving at all- he wasn't breathing at all. Tilting my head slightly, I twisted around and slipped easily over to Scarlet, who was in the same state of not breathing. I glanced between Thorn and Scarlet, hissing under my breath. 

'I warned you about Nightmare Furies and you didn't listen. Now look where you've both gotten.'
