Do This Properly - Thantos - 01-02-2016 My welcoming committee into the Dragon's Throat was much different than I had initially anticipated when I waited along the main land borders. Instead of being met by the Sultana I had met for only a moment prior, chased by gaurds or inspected by the Sultan, I was met by the only friends I had in the world of Helovia. Ranjiri had welcomed me into the herd without hesitation, even in the company of one of the warriors and Amani. Although I knew that Ranjiri had proven herself to be a valiant warrior on her own, from what I knew she was not exactly a high-ranking individual. It was confusing, really. I trusted her judgement, and I could only hope that her leaders would trust her judgement as well. But I still felt that sense of unease that I had not been 'properly' introduced with one of the leaders and welcomed into the herd by their approval. It was this very reason that I was soaring the skies, well, mostly. At the moment I was also mapping out the lands and storing landmarks away to memory while also hoping to come across a fellow herd member. Truth be told, I was seeking to find one of the higher ranks. Not only did I want to know who my new leaders were, I wanted them to know that my loyalties were now tied to the Dragon's Throat. The last thing I needed was to be confronted by a leader or warrior simply because I wasn't yet recognized. The entirety of the herd needed to know that I was of no threat to them. Disappointed in the fact that I couldn't actually find anyone yet, (though to be fair, I didn't even know who I was looking for) I resorted to the next best thing. As large, leathery wings beat at the air, I hovered for a few seconds. Just long enough to let out a call for anyone to find me, preferrably anyone of importance. The sound was something unlike any equine bellow, the grumbling roar of a dragon so powerful that smoke from my fire-breathing magic swirled out. Retrospectively, I hoped that no one would take my unique call as aggressive as it unintentionally sounded. But I couldn't help the way my vocal cords worked... Slowly, I lowered myself to the ground, hooves and talons catching myself as I dropped the last few feet onto the sands. Fiery eyes searched around me, careful to look to the skies for anyone approaching. Now, all I could do was wait. "Speaking." Open to anyone, but he really wants to meet a higher up rank! @Gaucho @Ampere @Megaera RE: Do This Properly - Gaucho - 01-04-2016
RE: Do This Properly - Thantos - 01-13-2016 Just as before, I was not kept waiting for very long when a massive shadow swooped overhead and visually announced the presence of a large winged stallion. Pivoting to face the burning Sultan as he landed, I nodded when he clarified who I was. I would be lying if I said that I was not surprised that Ranjiri had already alerted Gaucho about me, though I suppose I should have seen it coming. Respectfully, I dipped my crown low towards the stallion and lifted a single hoof in a makeshift bow before straightening up once again. My stance was tall and proud, a habit that I still had not shaken from my time as the Captain of the Guard in Urd. I never saw it as looking down on anyone around me, nor demanding any sort of respect. Rather, it was my own form of respect. To reflect such in my body language showed that I honored my company enough to want to present myself to the best of my abilities, a tradition that seemed lost to many of Helovians. For a moment, I studied the stallion and his companions with interest. As a first impression, Gaucho certainly seemed to be the epitome of what a strong leader needed to be, with the battle scars to prove that he had earned every ounce of his title. The snake was quite unexpected, my instincts telling me to avoid her while he kept her nestled in his rack like a top hat. His burning flames reminded me of my own ember glow from my scales, and I almost missed the phoenix on his withers because of them. "I am. It is a pleasure, Gaucho. Forgive me if I have interrupted anything of importance, but I felt it necessary to meet those that I would be serving. I've only met the Sultana in passing, before I decided to find the Dragon's Throat. At the time, I didn't sense that she was particularly comfortable with me since I travelled from the Rift. I wanted to be sure that I would be welcomed here, and insure that I can dedicate my loyalties to the Dragon's Throat." @Gaucho "Speaking." |
