Dark hated being pregnant. She loathed everything about it. She had other things to worry about, such as how they were going to get the money to pay off the debt of their tiny village. They had managed to charm their way into a few months more, and she had grown enormous in that time. She was sure that her stomach area would burst. She still found it a marvel that her belly could stretch so much... she had always been rather lean. She had to deal with morning sickness, and she was constantly yearning to bathe due to the unclean feeling she had all the time now. Another thing she loathed was the catcalls she'd get from Thistle about her pregnancy. All of this made her extremely short tempered and snapish, which she hated. She even had become somewhat tempromental with her husband, and that was the thing she hated the most. Dark Beauty, who belived she was not so beautiful anymore, hit her fist on the couch she was sitting on. That was all she could really do now... sit and bathe. Because of her growing abdomen, the elf's back would ache if she was standing for too long. She put her other hand on her swelling belly and let out a sudden cry. "Why am I so fat?!!" She was sure that she was twice the size of the other pregnant women in the world.
Suddenly, there was a horrible sound outside. Dark's head jerked up in shock. She knew what made that cry. There was an earth shaking ruble and everything in the house, including Dark's sofa, moved. An explosion was heard, and Dark got up and went as fast as a pregnant woman could to the door. She swung it open and stared in horror at the scene before her.
A huge black dragon, it's vast wings spread, was busy belching flames at a farmstead down the road. Dark moaned inwardly. That farm's crops were some of the things that would help them get out of debt.

Riki burst from the back room, snatching his blades from his sheath and shouting out for his brother and Vincent. "DRAGON!" He cried as he made his way to the door. He stopped there, taking his wife in his arms a moment to ensure she was unharmed. "Stay here love...I don't want you getting hurt."
Ahead of him already Tesshu charged down the hillside, Aegis Fang in hand and the vampiric assassin Vincent flying just above him. "Tesshu..." The fanged one spoke, "...is it just me or does this dragon look...bigger...."

Milly came down the stairs, though she was living with Thistle for the time being she was spending some time with her family for the day. The little blind girl latched herself to her mother's leg and whimpered in fear.

Dark looked helplessly after her husband, picked up her adopted daughter and then sat pouting on the porch as others came piling out of their houses. She could see Annie and Naburine as well as Shivelle, the vampiress. There was a great deal of screaming and the dragon turned his attention to the running hoarde of people.

Bartholomew, Bentiar, and Cessily quickly ran out of Thistle's house and toward their neighbor's house.
Cessily ran close to the house. "Dark are you guys all right in there?" She called keeping her eyes on the dragon. Thol and Bentair raced to catch up with riki, Tesshu, and Vincent. They both had thier swords out and ready and were ready to give battle cries.

Khorg went straight to crowd control, shouting orders for peple to go hide as Tesshu and Rikimaru ran down the mountainside. "Ready?" Tesshu shouted, panting as his long strides brought him ever closer to the dragon.
The assassin didn't answer, instead he lept into the air, his wings bursting from his back and snatched one of Tesshu's arms taking him into the air at an incredible speed. "Give the dragon something to think about would you?" He said with a sly wink.
Tesshu grinned and nodded eagerly, looking down from his high altitude. "With pleasure." Rikimaru released him, allowing him to plummet back to the earth, his mighty warhammer clutched in his strong grip. Like a bolt of lighting he let out a loud battle cry, and as the dragon glanced up, slammed his warhammer into the beasts forhead, bouncing off from the impact and landing soundly on the ground.

Dark sighs. "I'm right here, Cessily. Yes, I'm fine."
The dragon roars in pain, shakes its spiny head, and searches for its attacker. His huge evil red eyes scanned the ground until they reached Tesshu. The dragon screams in rage and blows flame at the angel.
Shivelle's leathery wings had already sprouted from her back as she ran toward the black beast. She was enraged at the dragon's attack... that farm was one of their hopes for money. She drew her long vampire blade and took off into the air, her black and red hair streaming in the wind behind her. She slashed at the dragon's tale, dodged a burning barn, and turned for another try.

Tesshu dropped his hand with the hammer extending a palm towards the flames. "Kafto Sirous!" He commanded the spell, a force of energy engulfed him, proting him from the flames and then fired off, striking the dragon in the throat.

The dragon roars terribly and begins to charge toward the cluster of people. As Annie and Naburine dance out of its way, the terrible beast flaps its huge wings and flies off toward the mountain range, roaring in pain all the way.

Thol started to hack away ah its hind leg hoping to find a softer spot and do some damage while Bentair flew around infront of its eyes.
Cessily jumped. "Oh Hi Dark sorry I yelled in your ear. Seeing the Sorceress and her adopted daughter on the porch.

"Mountain dragon...tough beast." Vincent said with a nod as Riki helped support his brother.
"You're tellin me...blast was so powerful I nearly burnt myself out..." Tesshu said as he touched the glyph on his shoulder, which had turned a slight orange color.

"It's a black one." muttered the blue haired mage, appearing as he usually did, silently and behind everyone's backs.
This time however the elf Zephyr was with the pale magus. "If it isnt shiny it'll kill ya." he said with a stern looking nod. "Black dragons are the worst..."
Magus however didnt put up so much as a finger to stop the beast, not to mention the intricacy of a water or ice spell to combat the beast.

((lol... wierdos))
Dark smiles at Cessily, and then she gets up, and holding Milly's hand, she walks slowly over to the group of dismayed people.
Chyenne had run out of her house just in time to see the dragon fly off. She watched in a sort of daze as it disappeared behind the towering peaks. Her eyes suddenly come alight. "Well, are we gonna go and get it?!"
Shivelle lands, puts away her sword, and retracts her wings. Her red eyes burn with longing. "I think I like the little one's suggestion. I suddenly have an urge for blood... something that has not happened for some time. I understand that dragon blood is one of the best tasting out there, according to my race of vampires. I would like to go."
The brown-haired ninja girl, hidden behind her black mask, gives an evil smile. "I would also like to get at some dragon blood. My hands are itching to throw my stars again." She patted the side of her tight leather pants. "They've been in there a bit too long, I think. I also heard from some of my treasure-seeking friends that dragons hoard gold in their lairs... wouldn't we be able to use the gold to pay off our debt?"
