The Song of Creation (fantasy RP) discussion

large meadows full of catmint and other grasses where cait sith like to roam. Aincrad is located here.

After an exhausting star walking trip and eventful fight/romantic creation, Astra lay in her normal for in the cait sith meadows. There was a soft breeze blowing through the grasses. The sky was clear, the temperature was warm. It was peaceful. There was no one around

All that peace however was ruined when a massive portal opened up in the sky. Out came a very unfamiliar large stark white dragon. The dragon landed not to far from Astra stretching.

Astra sat up, confused by the sudden appearance of this strange dragon. She folded her wings closed since they had been out so she could be comfortable

((Just a warning Astra has a dragon child partner named Damian.))

In the time between their little encounter Ryuu had managed to get into a nasty scrape with... something? He wasn't necessarily sure what it was but he had a large bleeding claw mark going all the way down his side now. That he was positive of. So the dragon tried to limp off in a vain attempt to hide and lick his wounds.

((Good to know))

((Yeah, he's been currently left in Alkia's care so if you want them to be in Aincrad then Astra and Ryuu can eventually meet up with the two))

((I don't think and encounter between Ryuu and a dragon child would be very good in his current state as the still minorly deranged Ryuu still blames Fathamore and dragon children for the death of his sister))

Astra noticed the dragon was wounded as she stood up. It looked like it needed help. She went dragon form, so maybe the dragon would be more comfortable with her and flew over. "Do you need help?"

((True))

Ryuu arched his back ready for a fight until he realized whose voice it was exactly. He didn't know what to do. He never exactly told Astra that he himself was a dragon. In fact he was pretty sure he never even implied it once. He wondered if she would catch his scent. Possibly. Hopefully. He really didn't to explain what happened.

"If you need help let me help you" Astra said, kindly. She caught a familiar scent on the air. It was Ryuu, but she didn't see him anywhere

The dragon stayed silent infront of her. Ryuu waited for her to make the connection as blood continued to ooze from his side. He was gonna pass out soon if he didn't stop this. He couldn't help it, in the end he collapsed onto his uninjured side breathing heavily.

Astra returned to her normal form. This dragon needed help now. Something seemed familiar about the dragon. Familiar feeling, familiar scent... oh, no, nonono. It was Ryuu. She had a moment of panic. "You need to go back to your normal form"

Ryuu growled. This was his normal form, he was a dragon. Besides, he no longer had the strength to transform. He was as powerless as he could get at the moment. However even still he tried to drag himself to his feet.

"Ryuu, stop." Astra said firmly but there was a worried, caring undertone. "Just... just stay still" She said moving over to his side where the wound was

Ryuu obeyed going completely still as his wound was inspected. He did his best not to flinch at her touch.

Astra was careful, trying not to cause him too much pain as she looked at his wound. It looked bad and he had already lost a lot of blood

Luckily for the most part it was starting to mat together and stall the bleeding at the very least.

Astra frowned. She started by taking off her jacket and placing it over what it would cover of the wound and applied pressure. "I'm sorry"

Ryuu growled quietly but he didn't move. His eyes were flitting around and narrowed into slits. The red definitely clashed against his pure white scales.

Astra sighed. Her jacket covered about half the wound put it couldn't be moved. "Now, I'm really sorry" She said taking off her shirt. Luckily she was wearing an undergarment that covered the necessities. She put her shirt over the rest of the wound and applied pressure

Ryuu closed his eyes the moment he realized what was going to happen. His breathing was ragged but he was trying to control it as best he could. It wouldn't help if his heart started pumping more blood to the wound so he tried to stay calm.

Astra kept applying pressure to his wound until the bleeding stopped completely. She was blushing deeply

By the time Ryuu's breathing had eased completely and he ended up falling asleep. He needed to recover his energy.

Astra sighed. She noticed he had fallen asleep. Good, he needed the rest. She curled up against his side

((Time skip again?))

((Yep))

((K, lets say its the next day))

When Ryuu woke up he somehow managed to pull himself back into his human form being careful not to disturb Astra. But other than that he couldn't do much else. So he sat there under her bloodied clothing trying his best not to look at her half naked body. Which surprising enough to Ryuu was pretty hard.

Astra had fallen asleep half way through the night. She was actually sleeping pretty well considering her normally nightmare plagued sleep. she rolled over onto her side

Ryuu sighed trying to stay as still as possible. Though that was kind of hard with all the pain he was in.

Astra woke up soon after

Ryuu groaned slightly trying to move his body what so ever. But just the smallest twitch set off spirals of pain through his entire being.

Astra yawned and glanced over at him. "Oh, you've transformed... um, how are you feeling?" She was blushing deeply

"In lots of pain," he hissed out trying his best to make words that weren't a growl. Yet they still sounded with a drip of venom he didn't mean. "Sorry," he grunted.

"Don't worry. Whatever helps so that you aren't thrashing around in anger and pain" Astra said

"Oh trust me, I wanna be. But I have a little more self control than that. And honestly it does not help," he grunted with a small laugh trying to make light of the situation. Or at the least make it lighter.

Astra smiled amused. "Well, we need to get that wound taken care off"

"Just find me a branch and do whatever you need to," he said. "I need something to chew on before you go poking at my insides."

Astra laughed and shook her head. She disappeared into the tall grass

Ryuu continued to stay there flopped down on his side groaning slightly. He hated his life right now. "Why me? Why this? What did I do? Oh right. A lot of things..." he scoffed to himself quietly.

"Got it!" Astra shouted from somewhere in the grass. She came back over with a large stick

"Give," he said grabbing the stick and placing it in his mouth. Luckily it was large and hopefully pretty strong. The gods knew it would need to be.

Astra smiled "Alright. Sorry if this hurts" She moved clothing so she could look at his wound

Ryuu bit into the stick trying to stay as still, quiet, and calm as possible. His nails also dug into the stick.

Astra carefully inspected the wound to see what needed to be done or what could be done

"So how bad is it doc? Am I gonna be pretty again?" He asked choking on his attempt at a laugh.

"Well, it can't be stitched up and you might have a scar once it's helaed. But I can close it, in a sense" Astra said

"Scar smar. Scar's are hot. Aren't they?" He asked with a wiggle of his eye brows.

Astra laughed. "They show honor, so yes, they are"
