[When the feed begins, one will see Azalea in a rather dark, lush green jungle. Azalea herself looks quite pleased.]

Hello, Genessia. I'm here to announce that I've opened a sub-archway of my own...a little piece of the Viridian Labyrinth in Sornieth, known as the Shrieking Wilds.

[She falls silent for a moment so that the audience can hear all the shrieking going on, all sorts of cries from various creatures hiding in the trees.]

And it seems that the other dragons from the Kalma Clan were brought in along with the sub-archway as well...

[Almost as if on cue, a brown Mirror dragon with azure wings, much larger than Azalea, hovers over her, peering at her screen in curiosity. Azalea looks up at him and smiles, reaching up to pet his snout lovingly.]

Ah...this is my mate, Coco.

[And then another Fae appears, even smaller than Azalea, with different patterns and colors. Azalea reaches up to cup his chin.]

And this is our son, Kincaid. If you want to meet my other friends, you can come and visit the sub-archway located in Fayren. I've spoken with our leader, Qubine, and he's agreed to allow visitors. My friends may be wary at first, due to the war with the Beastclans at home. Just respect them, and we should get along fine.

[OOC: For reference, the first two pages of dragons in this lair can be found in the subarchway.]

Koishi's face appeared on screen, Her eyes were so bright. "Oh my gosh! Little dragon! There's a littler dragon and he's so pretty like you and he's so cuuute!" Oh god Koishi would undoubtedly want to hug and pet every dragon she met.

Eventually she stopped babbling, still all smiles. "I'm glad you found a place of your own but if you want somewhere to go ever you can always come back to Chireiden, okay?" As if on cue Garchomp wandered over to investigate, peeking over Koishi's shoulder at the phone before huffing softly and wandering away.

"I want to come visit you though Little Dragon. Okay?" Oh no. Koishi would need to be supervised. for sure. "Please?"

[Unlike when they met in Castlevania, Izanami appeared human this time.]

So that's your son...how cute. You must be glad to have your family here with you.

"O-Okay, Koishi...just calm down!"

Azalea wasn't sure how well the other dragons would take petting and hugging, especially the Mirrors and Guardians.

"If you do visit, just remember what I said before, okay?"

[And so Azalea wouldn't recognize the figure.]

Yes...I'm so proud of them. They've become some of the most powerful dragons in our clan. I am glad to have them here, because they can help me in battle. And I don't feel so alone anymore.

A fruitless effort. Asking Koishi to calm down was like asking a river to slow down. It just didn't work. "What did you say...?" Koishi tilted her head, moving the phone around a little bit. "I can behave myself if that's what you mean. Don't worry. I think you're wonderful and any dragon friend of yours is wonderful too!"

Ohhh boy. Well, even if she was excited at least her intentions were in the right place... Hopefully her commotion wasn't attracting too much attention. The phone could only view so much at once and it would be bad if Koishi got MORE excited...

"Where is the archway Little Dragon? I want to meet all your wonderful friends and your mate and your son and all the others too! I want to see your world! It looks so amazing just from the little camera!"

"Yes...just...try not to aggravate the other dragons. Some of them may not like being hugged or petted."

She couldn't see Qubine enjoying things like that from a complete stranger.

"As for the archway, you can find it in the forest to the north."

"Aggravate?" Koishi tilted her head. "Okay! I'll do my best no to! And I'll be right over!"

Wait, she was coming over now?!?

Too late! She already hung up. Taking off, Koishi flew quickly through the forest, circling, searching... and finding the shining archway very quickly.

Without hesitation she dove and slipped right on through. "I'm here!" She called. Oh boy this was gonna be difficult...

Frankly, Azalea would expect Koishi to come over right away once the invitation was offered.

When she arrived, Azalea came to greet her.

"Hello, Koishi. These are all my friends."

She gestured to the dragons gathered around, staring at Koishi curiously. Just what was that creature with only two legs?

Instantly Koishi dove down and scooped Azalea into her arms, giving her a not-too-tight-but-still-firm hug. "I'm so very excited to meet everyone!" And she gently set Azalea down very gently. "I want to meet everyone!"

Without really waiting for permission, Koishi floated over to the nearest dragon, probably leaning much too far into its personal space. "Hello there! I'm Koishi Komeiji and I want to be your friend, okay?"

So much energy...

The first dragon to react was Coco, who got right up to Koishi, growling at her as she picked up Azalea, the overprotective mate that he was.

"Wait, Coco, it's okay!" Azalea assured him, hoping to calm him down before he hurt Koishi.

Coco did indeed back off, but now he was the nearest dragon that Koishi foated up to. And he backed off even more to regain some personal space.

"This is Coco...my mate," Azalea said. "He can be overprotective of me."

"He's so handsome!" She reached out, placing her hands on his cheeks, drifting forward whenever he backed off. "Hello there Mister Dragon. My name is Koishi Komeiji. And I'm friends with Azalea!" It was probably the first time Koishi actually said Azalea's name. "It's nice to meet you she talked about you lots!"

Koishi was laughing some... and then the ruffling began. kneading his cheeks and rubbing behind his frills... And just as quickly she stopped, zipping off to the next one. Koishi pls...

Coco was flinching the entire time, but when Koishi moved on, he just looked up, blinking in surprise.

Next was a Guardian dragon, who was one of the largest. He was dressed as a pirate, complete with eye patch and sword.

"That's Malus," Azalea said to the little youkai.

"Ahoy, ye aren't gonna do that t' me too, are ye, lassie?"

Indeed she was! "Hello there!" Malus got a little head bump and some ruffles and pets on the head and down his neck. "You are so shiny and wonderful and smooth too. Ah! Everyone here is wonderful!"'

And then she picked up the large dragon's hat very gently, placing her own on top of his head and placing the pirate hat on top of her own. She giggled, drifting to one side, the brim falling a bit over her eyes. She looked very silly in a pirate hat.

Well, she'd never seen a pirate hat before Probably not too much of a surprise...

And then she moved on to the next dragon. She was still wearing the pirate hat but would undoubtedly give it back when she was done. After all, she'd want her own back.

I'm glad that you managed to bring your home here and that your mate and child are with you.

[Fai was always glad when his friends were happy.]

Except that Malus wasn't willing to part with his hat that easily. When Koishi moves on to the next dragon, Malus went after her, snatching his hat back, and carelessly dropping her own hat on her head.

Next was Shayla, the sky blue speckled Spiral with night sky silks. Qubine stood right next to her, glaring at Koishi. Like Coco was with Azalea, Qubine would be overprotective of Shayla, for she was his mate. While Shayla looked pleased to meet Koishi, Qubine was glaring at her suspiciously.

[And Azalea was indeed happy.]

Thank you, Fai. Perhaps you or Sakura could visit sometime?

We would love to visit sometimes. .. I am pretty sure, Sakura-chan would love it a lot.

[And he did like to make her happy more than anything.]

Koishi didn't seem to mind the return switch. Instead she was focused entirely on Shayla, practically attaching herself to the dragon.

"Oh my gosh! You're so lovely and blue. I love blue and I love blue on you! It's such a wonderful and regal color and it's all over and-"

While she wasn't at risk of detonating or anything like that, someone should probably calm the Koiball down.

{ Give him a moment. It's... Been a very long time since he's seen that many dragons at once, and back when there were that many in existence, his world was a very, very different place. Humans weren't the dominant species, after all. Eventually, Zeref manages a small, ambiguously-genuine smile. }

I'm happy for you. What did you give up for this subarchway?

I gave up one of my favorite spells, which increases the speed of allied targets.

[She looks off to the side for a brief moment before looking at the screen again.]

Qubine's not too happy about that, but we'll manage.

[She's not the only one in her clan who has that spell, after all.]

Shayla seemed surprised to have the Koiball attached to her like that. Qubine, on the other hand, was quite annoyed.

"Enough!" He then tried to pry the Koiball from the Spiral dragon.

A rather futile attempt. As soon as Qubine came over to them she let go of Shayla, attaching herself to the lead dragon, laughing merrily. "Oh you're so pretty too! And fierce! I like you a lot! You're all such wonderful dragons!"

Good luck removing her.

Qubine only grimaced some more as Koishi latched onto him. "Azalea, would you do something already!?"

"Okay..." Azalea scratched her head. "Koishi, can you let go of him? That's Qubine, our clan leader. He's the one that you really don't want to mess with."

Koishi leaned her head back, looking at Azalea upside-down. "He's the leader? Wow! He must be even more amazing then!" And right back to hugging. "And I'm not messing with him! I'm hugging him. Even strong leaders need hugs sometimes!"

She didn't seem like she was keen on letting go anytime soon. But she also wasn't really doing any harm other than being an affectionate pest. A very rude affectionate pest.

Shayla moved close to Qubine, nuzzling him. "She has a point, you know..."

Qubine just let out an annoyed sigh. "Of course...that's why I have you."

Since trying to remove Koishi from him didn't work, Azalea needed a different method.

"Koishi, why don't you meet my other friends? Like Amadeus here." She gestured to the furry orange Tundra dragon with the shabby waistcoat, brown fedora, and glasses.

Yes, some dragons even wear glasses.

I wish I could give up one of my own.

{ But it probably wouldn't even let him, since it wouldn't be much of a sacrifice; it would be a gift to be free of it. }

At first glance, your world resembles my own, in the distant past.

So ya gave up something real for something fake. Damn Puff, thought you were tougher than that.

[Coco moves his head close to Azalea to peer at the screen.]

Who is that?

[Azalea looks none too pleased to hear from this guy either.]

You! What did I tell you about speaking to me!?

From what I understand, you have to give up something that's precious to you. I'll admit I did have a difficult time deciding what to give...but I really wanted to be with my clan again.

[She grows curious about the world resemblance, though.]

Really? In what way?

[John is looking far too pleased. God bless when they ignore the 'ignore' function. Must be those tiny dragon hands.]

He waved at Coco. "Hey. I'm Johnny. I head up a support group for your friend there. Ya know, try and keep her on the straight and narrow. Typical stuff.

I think you said during our last session to speak up if any of us thought you were in a bad scene. It was pretty brave; really proud of you.

Edited 2016-02-19 20:13 (UTC)

[Qubine and Amadeus hover over the pair now, to hear what's going on.]

I said not to speak to me anymore, and that I would burn you alive if we ever met in person. And now, you'd be lucky if my friends don't decide to devour you.

[Qubine scoffs behind her.]

You wouldn't make a decent meal anyway. Consider yourself lucky.

Yes, that is my understanding. I have little that is truly precious to me, however... And I don't think any of them would be worth giving up.

{ Zeref sighs, and closes his eyes. }

Four hundred years into the past of my world, dragons were the dominant species of my world. While they were every bit as intelligent and capable of speech as humans, the majority saw humans as little more than sources of food. But, there were others, who wanted to coexist with humans, who thought it was morally wrong to treat other sentient species as cattle. I knew one such dragon.

Edited 2016-02-19 20:33 (UTC)

I see...

We have no humans in Sornieth, but there are some Beastclan species that have similar qualities. While the Beastclans are at war with dragonkind, we don't see them as a source of food. So I wouldn't think that humans would be considered a source of food either...

"Oh, yeah, the death threat. Right. That was a pretty obvious cry for help. Man, if only I'd realized while there was still time."

[So all the dragons were this much fun, then. John was beginning to see why Azalea did it.]

"Hey, real talk. I know it can be hard to deal with this place, but try not to get too wrapped up in your own fantasy world, all right? I can tell by the thread that there are real people who care about you. You should spend time with them; it's a lot healthier." He then addresses the group.

"Nice to meet you too, but I gotta go. Nice to see she's got such good fakes--er, I mean, friends. Peace."

[Amadeus sighs.] Even the youth in this world have no manners.

A cry for help, he says? [Qubine adds.] His death would be a big help.

"Who?" Koishi focused on the dragon and, sure enough, she let go of Qubine, quickly attaching herself to Amadeus. "Hello there! You're fuzzy! I didn't know dragons could be fuzzy!"

She pressed her face into the fluff, nuzzling it, babbling out an unending stream of what were probably compliments, though her words were far too muffled to make out properly.

"Um...yes...dragons can have all sorts of features."

Amadeus looks absolutely baffled as she hugs him and muffles all that speech.

"I beg your pardon, young lady, but I can't understand a word you're saying...."

Dragons are now extinct in my world. { Acnologia notwithstanding. } I will admit, it is refreshing to see that they not only exist in other worlds, but that they bear a number of similarities to the dragons of my own world.

Extinct?

[Now that's a scary thought.]

How did they become extinct?

The feud between dragons who wished to coexist with humans and dragons who wished to dominate them eventually escalated into a war. While the pro-coexistence faction counted many powerful dragons among their ranks, they were too few in number to win on their own. To remedy this, they began teaching humans a form of magic specifically designed to kill dragons: Dragon Slayer Magic.

{ Zeref frowned. He never liked talking about this subject. }

One Dragon Slayer in particular took it too far. He became drunk with power, and began slaughtering every dragon he came across, friend and foe. To this day, he remains a menace in my world that needs to be put down.

Dragon Slayer Magic...?

[That doesn't sit well with Azalea, and even less so with Qubine, who's listening over her shoulder. He doesn't seem to show any expression, but knowing him, Azalea figures he's making a mental note to kill anyone with such a power.]

...Is there anyone with that sort of magic here?

There were two in Genessia, and now there is only one. I can say in good confidence that neither of them pose any sort of threat to you. You are quite unlike the vast majority of dragons that have existed in my world, and believe me when I say that is a good thing.

{ Zeref's expression suddenly sours, as his tone of voice lowers. }

That said, if somebody by the name of Acnologia were to appear in this world... I ask that you inform me immediately. He would be a grave threat not just to you, but everybody in Genessia.

Really? How are we different from them?

[Azalea raises an eye at the name, though. It sounds like a complicated one.]

"An...Anco...logia?" [She glances over her shoulder briefly.] Can you write that down? Acnologia.

[She turns to Zeref again.] All right, we'll let you know if we meet anyone by that name.

Edited 2016-02-24 12:06 (UTC)

As I said before, you don't appear to see humans as livestock. That is already a vast improvement.

Thank you. He is a far worse monster than any of the dragons he hunted.

{ If he does appear, he thinks to himself, I only hope Fairy Tail doesn't try anything stupid. }

All right. What does this...Acnologia look like?

[And then another question pops into mind.]

I suppose I should ask your name as well. I don't think we've been introduced in the times that we've spoken.

He would most likely take the form of a large, winged, black and blue dragon with a mastodonic appearance. He might also appear as a tattooed man with long, blue hair and a brown, leather cloak.

{ Zeref's expression softens at that. }

I am Zeref.

[Azalea once again glances over her shoulder with a nod, and then looks at Zeref again.]

All right, we'll keep an eye out. I am Azalea.
