3rd Lure [Audio]

[In all of the excitement and chaos, Ryu really didn't have a chance to slow down. More importantly it was clear something was weighing heavily upon him. The fact people saw him, even if he was trying to help them... He doesn't want to risk something like back home happening here. So Ryu has temporarily retreated back to Fayren with most of the danger over while trying to figure out his next move. For all he knew, he was worried about nothing. But he certainly wasn't sure if Nonon could be trusted, and she most likely would have revealed the secret to Satsuki.

There was also Lucy to worry about. He knows she'll be asking sooner or later, but... With her friend Natsu, perhaps she'll be more understanding than most about who and what he actually is. Either way, he wants to know his friends are okay. Especially Vyers, after the condition he was in. There was still their little conversation to be held. It's here Ryu might be found a distance away from his camp, near Fairy Tail in hopes of finding Lucy.]

[PRIVATE TO LUCY HEARTFILIA]
Lucy? It's Ryu. I need to talk to you, preferably somewhere private and in person. The sooner the better.

[PRIVATE TO VYERS]
How's your body holding up? Can you do anything about regrowing your wings?

[The rest of his message is open to the public.]

I hope you're all recovering well in light of recent events. Please don't hesitate to call if you need any sort of medical attention. I may not be a doctor, but my magic can help you recover quickly.

[The poor boy honestly seems kind of stiff in his message. It's a little clear something is bothering him, but he'll likely chalk it up to the fact that Lucifer was still out there and free to do this all over again. Sure he's scared of being outed for what he is, but the fact that there's been nary a sound out of Lucifer worries him even more.]

And to the girl I met during the fire who could fly, I think you and I have a few things to discuss. On neutral ground, if you don't mind.

[It's not like he can make this private, since Nonon never made her identity clear.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

The only downside is I haven't figured out how to talk in certain forms. I don't think they can.

I suppose if you guys wanted to, I could show you some of them.

[He glances at Natsu with a bit of curiosity.]

What are Lachryma?

[ She perked up with a bit more curiosity, a grin crossing her face. She'd let Natsu answer the question about lachryma -- assuming he didn't get completely side tracked by the possibility of seeing something new. ]

Really? That'd be fantastic, Ryu - but only if you don't mind..!

That'd be awesome yeah. Though we'd better do that out in the backyard.

[He's all excited again that only after that he remembers the question Ryu asked.]

Oh right Lachryma. I don't know how they're made but they're crystals that have in them the magic of a dragon. Some people started making people into dragon slayers like that. It's not the same as getting raised and taught by a dragon. That's why I've beaten all of em I fought. Well I had a bit of help when fighting Laxus.

Well... You guys lead the way, and I'll think of what to show you.

[He nods, the concept of Lachryma pretty much sounds exactly like chrysm.]

I'm surprised even normal humans can use that power. When my friends came in contact with the Chrysm Ore, they couldn't do anything with it. Not like me anyway.

[ Lucy chuckled, nodding agreement with Natsu's excitement. ]

Right this way then; it's not far. [ Just a few feet, actually- she padded her way into the back of the guild, with the lovely lovely yarded area. Should be plenty of room to spar, show off or transform into a dragon. ]

How's this?

Yeah well I don't know the specifics but I am guessing only people who actually have some potential with magic can actually make use of that Lachyrma.

[He never looked into it too much really since the method of his training was the best. He followed Lucy's lead staying next to Ryu making small chatter about dragons in his world in general.]

[He takes a moment to examine the yard. Once he's satisfied with its appearance, he takes up position a slight distance away from the pair.]

So, just to give you an idea how long this takes...

[ Ryu begins channeling the power needed to change. To the outside observer it appears as a shimmering aura around his form, pulsating erratically as if trying to escape. Where once he would have cowered and shook as a child, as an adult he stands in full control. A bolt of energy shoots from his body and crashes back down around him as a dome of arcane energy. Beneath the dome his form shifts and changes. When the energy shatters, Ryu reappears before them in his warrior form once again, talons and claws on his limbs a deep crimson red.]

This is what you saw before, Lucy. And in addition to changing my form, I can command different elements like this as well. Fire, Ice, Thunder, Light, and Darkness.

[Natsu watches the transformation closely his grin growing as he feels the power rising inside that dome. When Ryu finally emerges though he can't help but notice how similar it is to his dragon force state. Except he didn't get as many scales or wings. However he immediately focuses on something else entirely.]

So you can make fire too? Show me! I wanna see what they taste like!

And that one is fire, I expect?

[ Because red. But still, it did look quite a bit like Natsu's dragon force - she actually glanced at Natsu, wonderingly - up until he requested a taste of Ryu's flames. To which she just chuckled. He WOULD ask something like that. She glanced at Ryu, just in case he questions the madness in Natsu's head. ]

Dragon slayers like him can eat the element they specialize in - I know, it's weird, right?

That's certainly a powerful ability. Can you eat anything aside from fire?

He nods and waits for Natsu to indicate he's ready. Ryu rears his head back and lets loose with a great flame in Natsu's direction. Even if he's holding back, the fire burns with great intensity.]

Well I ate a bunch of other elements once but I was desperate back then and really angry. Felt sick for weeks afterwards so I'm sticking to fire.

[He takes a ready stance after jumping back and lights up his fingers into a "come on!"]

[ Lucy's just gonna back on up a little extra while Ryu sends flames at Natsu, folding her arms. It was cute to see the two dragons bonding..she just hoped that natsu's trademark weird didn't rub off on Ryu. One weird dragon guy was more than enough for her! Once he's consumed the flames, she gave the two a curious glance. ]

Well, Natsu?

[ She still didn' t know how he could differentiate different tastes with fire - but that was Natsu for you! ]

[Ryu changes back to his human form while waiting for Natsu's reaction. The process of changing back seems to be far less explosive, as his features and body seem to shrink back and shift smoothly. Fingers replace claws, and boot covered feet replace the talons that were once his feet.]

I'm seriously impressed. I've never seen anyone be able to do that before!

[Natsu slurped up the flames with ease before his eyes widened. That taste. That surge of power!]

Woah!

[Was all he got to say before fire erupted around him in a pillar of flame briefly. In the middle of it though Natsu was standing there, perfectly unharmed. After that initial burst the flames shrunk back around his body exposing that now his canines were a bit more pronounced and around his eyes one could see the pattern of scales rather than his skin.]

A dragon's flame. Definitely packs a punch~ Haven't felt this feeling since that fight with Zero.

Whoah! [ You okay there, buddy? ]

[ Whoah indeed. Lucy involuntarily hopped back a step in surprise, staring at Natsu and that familiar change - well, she hadn't seen him looking like that in a while. Relaxing, she glanced at Ryu, smiling sheepishly. ]

He's not the only one - we have a other Dragonslayers in the guild - and back home too. Though they have different elemental affinities.

[He takes a moment to get a closer look at Natsu. With a grin, he finally answers.]

You seem a lot stronger now. Is there a limit to this ability? I have a few other transformations I can show you, depending on what you guys want to see.

[He clenches his fist and the flames focus into his fist with such intensity it makes the air swirl around him.]

This is a Dragon Slayer's ultimate form. IT's called Dragon Force. So far I haven't been able to go into this state on my own. I always need a fire of great magical power.

[ Lucy watched Natsu with a bit of fond amusement, before glancing toward Ryu again. ]

You mean the ones with the other elements? How many other forms can you change into?

There are so many elemental variations to consider, and there's still Kaiser being the most powerful of them all. I have dozens of transformations I can call on.

Sounds like spars with you would never get boring~

[Natsu laughs and takes a few steps back.]

I'm gonna have to spend this energy somehow though. Might as well go for flashy~

[ Pfff, why is she not surprised that he'd say that. ] Well... I think I'd have to agree, a sparring match between the two of you would be pretty interesting. .. if not destructive.

You might want to step back too, Ryu. Natsu's flashy is... [ ... hm. You know she doens't really have an appropriate word for the awesomeness of Natsu's flashy magic. She just hoped he didn't overdo it. ]

In any case, [ giving ol' Natsu there pleeeeeeeeeeeeeenty of room. ] What element does your Kaiser dragon form use?

To tell you the truth, none. And it's a form I hesitate using, given what I had to use it for last time.

[He glances over to Natsu with a frown.]

It was my duty as Prince of Dragons to kill the Goddess who almost wiped my entire race out. Kaiser allowed me to stand up to her.

[Flashy and simple was the name of the game. He could have used a more demanding technique but this was the one most easy to focus in a safe direction. So he breathed in deeply and faced the heavens before letting out a huge beam of dragon fire into the sky as he roared. Many apologies to the poor neighbors.]

Then we won't ask you to demonstrate it - neither of us would want you to feel uncomfortable here.

[ Trailing off, she turned to watch Natsu - she always loved watching his techniques, even if they were flashy and destructive. Poor Neighbors were probably going to panic at the flames in the sky. Then realize it came from the direction of the guild and decide to go about their business like normal. ]

[He smiles a little, he's certainly glad Lucy is so understanding.]

It's less feeling uncomfortable, and more just using that power with purpose. Elder Jono gave his life so that I could inherit it, and that was to challenge the Goddess. I feel it would dishonor him if I used it without purpose.
