Temptation (Open for all)

Rising hunger pushed Tsidia deep into the forest of Layrian. She never had any problems with hunting in the wild. Her sharp claws and enhanced senses were more than enough to catch pretty much any pray she wanted. Focusing her attention on etheric energy all around her, she quickly filtered out bugs and small reptiles. It took her a few minutes before she finally found her "ideal meal candidate". Moving towards the source of the signal however she noticed sudden thought process not so far away. It was big, but subtle. Moving slowly, but thinking rapidly. "perfect hunter" - was Tsidias first impression, but she wasn't going to back out. Dragoness rose into the air, her purple scales wouldn't allow stealthy approach anyway. She felt her bloodlust slowly raising. She really needed to eat something... or rather devour at this point.

Artemise was headed for the unclaimed lands that lay near the Kaamil territory - rogue lands, she liked to call it - in an attempt to find something fun to entertain herself with. Seeing that she had already completed her tasks, and had no more to finish up on - none that she knew of, or remembered, anyway - she had a whole day to herself, and what better way to spend it than to explore the rogue lands? Her wings moved up and down in a steady rhythm, propelling her body forward, further away from her home and closer to the rogue lands. Hunger soon made its presence clear when her stomach produced an embarrassingly loud rumble, and her gaze darted around as she slowed in the air, looking for prey to hunt, to satisfy her stomach. There was none...yet, and Artemise sped up again, looking up once to spot a purple-scaled dragoness, though she quickly returned her attention to the ground, finding nothing interesting in the stranger. She'd approach her later.

Artemise once again scanned the ground below her, finally spotting a lone deer limping its way through the grass. It was moving painfully slowly, and Artemise suspected that it was injured, and too slow to catch up with its herd. Well then, ending its life will be a mercy, the blue dragoness thought, circling once before tucking her wings close to herself, starting to plummet to the ground at such a high speed that she herself was momentarily dizzy as blood rushed to her head, but it cleared - she was used to this, she'd performed this maneuver countless times -, and soon her attention was back on the lone deer. Flaring her wings at the last minute, the wind that previously tore at her scale now pushed her up, but before it could do so, she extended her front claws and closed them around the deer, before rising higher into the air. How she caught the deer was similar to how an eagle caught its prey; heck, she'd learned this move from observing an eagle. Soon she was up in the sky again, brushing past the female dragoness. She banked, carving an invisible arc with the tips of her wings and caught up with the female dragoness, mustering up the courage to ask, "Want some?"

Tsidia was ready to strike. Just a few seconds and it would be all over, but no. Once again someone had to take away all her hard work, and pull it right away from her reach. She was tempted to just trigger magical explosion, but that could destroy her only chance of eating tonight. The voice inside her head was passing her "solutions"...
- Kill her.
- No.
- What do you mean no? You want to starve?
- I'm not a monster. I have morales.
- Co...
Just when she started to consider her options, Tsidias thoughts were interrupted by victorious, if not sarcastic offer.
- Now is a great chance...
- Shut up
Using what's left of her control over instincts, she let out an embarrassed speech: Would greatly  appreciate it

She sped through the clouds, roaring with pleasure and laughing as she played around, clouds puffing out of existence as she trailed through them. The air was warm, and she was traveling over the lands of Layrian. She wasn't on a mission today, just sent by her Queen to spread her wings and stretch. To come back in a few days time. She twirled in the air, panting with glee. She glided down from above, in large lazy circles. Landing by a lake, she drank her fill, eating berries and laying down for a while, closing her eyes and basking in the beautiful sun that crept through the trees. It's warm kiss rocking her to sleep.

She woke with a start, a sound of wingbeats, quick, fast, then the scream of a deer. The smell of blood smacked her senses like a whack from another dragon. Her stomach growled slightly, even though she ate before she left. She got up, sniffing the air. The dragon who had attacked the deer's scent was familiar. She moved through the trees, still trying to wake herself from a nap's hypnotizing haziness. She yawned, a great roar coming to her throat. She startled herself then chuckled, pushing through some brush. Wing beats drew her to a sharp right out into a clearing, flowers' faces faced towards the sun. It was high noon and comfortably warm, at least to her liking. She saw two dragons, one she remembered, the name coming quickly and clearly as the blue scales shimmered.
"Artemise! Sonus said, rather suddenly and loud, wing extending in a friendly matter, "What a surprise, it is so nice to see you again." Sonus gave a wide grin, teeth gleaming. She blinked slowly, just noticing a dragon, petite and quite familiar. She stood there, for quite a while, starting, head tilted as she thought. She tried remembering the face of the other dragon that stood before her.
"You... I've seen you in the city before. I've even seen you in the books of those dragons who can roam. You're jotted down... I think... Saphera? Timber? No...." Sonus paused, "OH! Got it! Tsidia! Correct? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Tsidia turned around friendly, if not a bit awkwardly turning her head to the side for a moment. In front of her was standing a dragon of fire and death. At first she had to fight off the natural confusion of seeing someone looking so threatening, but actually being in a good mood."Yes, hello you got that right! " - Tsidia said almost automatically, while carefully exterminating newcomer. The "smaug impression" seemed very familiar to her. "whose scales are bright as day, and breath's holy of fire; pleasant seeing you here" - Tsidias words coming straight from her memory, as she finally remembered her. "Could I ask you a favour?" She tried using Enerkinesis to take a sample of her holy fire, but exhaustion from lack of food threw her on the ground. She already lowered her body temperature, turned down senses, and slightly compromised her movement, but she didn't let her instincts take over."Oh well, whatever" - she said as she slowly got up. Her teeth shown off uncontrollably, as the scent of fallen animal caught up to her. She turned back to Artemise. "So what about that deer?"

[Sorry for taking so long to reply! I was busy with school and stuff.]

Sonus's voice, booming from behind her, startled Artemise so badly that she nearly fell out of the sky. "Sonus!" she greeted, attempting to look calm and composed as she turned her head to give Sonus a polite smile, which was edged with wariness and a bit of fear when she felt the heat radiating from the wyvern. Artemise's eyes travelled to Sonus's black scales, from which curled wisps of grey smoke, and recalled the burnt grassland which she had found Sonus in. Tsidia and Sonus clearly seemed to know each other - not as friends, but probably passing tribemates, judging from the polite tones both used with each other. Suddenly feeling awkward - a Kaamil among two Stormcallers (since Sonus was a Stormcaller, Tsidia must be too) - she nodded to Tsidia, easing back into Kenarun by force of habit and chattering: "Yes, yes, no problem!" before catching herself and flushing a dark hue of red. "I mean," she said, embarrassed, "sure, let's both find a suitable spot to eat at." She realised that her grip on the deer had tightened, squeezing some fresh blood out of the carcass, and loosened it, before swooping down again, releasing the deer before landing right in front of it. Then she turned to the Stormcallers with a smile, and gestured for them to eat.

Tsidias hunger was about to reach critical level, when she finally got to taste her prey. She breathed a sigh of relief, as her systems slowly restored their full functionality. Only at that moment she felt the "Spirit of the forest". All life around her, circling in perfect harmony. Low consciousness levels gently pushing against her mind, pleasant enough to put a smile on her face. Either that, or just the fact that she's not starving anymore. It's a very calm place... - Tsidia said not realizing that her thoughts are getting louder. She didn't get a chance to spend time with others of her kind in the past. She was glad to finally slow down, and take her time to socialize. She looked up, finishing her part of the deer, a little embarrassed realizing that Artemise and Sonus barely even started it.
"so..." - She took a glimpse at her companions, taking a moment to take a closer look. -"Is there anything you'd like to show/share?" - Tsidia used deep magic of lingustics to merge two words into one.
