"Ah. I see. And would you be willing to share those goals?" Scarlet asked. She was curious and wanted to know what he was up to, why she was needed. She also figured she couldn't argue with his comment, as her name was Scarlet, and she was a red fire dragon, so it seemed like an obvious statement.

"Maybe...time will indeed tell princess..time will tell"

"I see. That's a.....strange way of teaching. Well, I'll do my best then to lay back a little. And—oh, what's wrong, little one?" He asked, his eyes softening as he peered at Aretis. "Is he alright?"

Aretis didn't dare look at his face. "...N-No sir. Just cold." He said meekly, trying to cover up quickly.

Kobalt took his face away. "Well, you have some good friends there. Don't take them for granted." He said, smiling and then left to go to the magic classroom.

"Well, whenever you're willing to share, you just let me know." Scarlet said.

Firefly sighed and stayed quiet until Kobalt was out of earshot. "I didn't think Mr. Silverdash would just hire him like that. He must not know who this dragon is. If he had known, he wouldn't have hired him. But still, he should at least be suspicious. I guess he was just backed into a corner and really had no other option for a magic teacher right now." She muttered.

"Well, it's not like he's going to act all evil and reveal his real plans and intentions. Scarlet was kinda the same way, she even had an alias and everything. They wouldn't want to raise suspicion." Firefly explained quietly.

Blue walked to the group of Aretis, Icestorm, Firefly and Red " Okey youngsters, i know you do not like me and to be honest i do not like you either. But we do now have a interest in common. I need to get that guy out and i am sure you want that too? I know there is something about him why Scarlet hired him and if i heard you guys right you know what that is. So are you in or out?"

Red looked at Blue " Why we would trust you? They do know about you too."

Blue just smiled " Well for sure they do, but which one of us is the worse me or him?" Blue said with a smile

"Well does that goal include building a better kingdom then he did and having your legacy and greatness preserved?" He gestured for her to walk with him to construction.

Scarlet gave him a curious look as she decided to walk with him. "Sounds good so far. Continue."

Firefly narrowed her gaze on Blue and was quiet for a moment. "And why would we work with you? I noticed when you left with Scarlet that you only seemed interested in your payment. As far as I'm concerned, I should only trust you as much as I could pay you, and I have no intention of doing either. We don't need your help to get rid of Kobalt, nor do we have any obligation to share information with you. Mr. Silverdash and the teachers can take care of him. That is their job, after all, to protect us students. So if you want to learn more about him or take him out, then why not talk to Scarlet? After all, she hired both of you, so why not just go to her?"

"That's about it, it will be just like any normal kingdom but lacking a King or Queen...so how do we fix this problem?"

........

At each point of the boundary lay the minions carrying the stolen shield gems from the old schools underground bunker, once they were in position they would activate it so nothing could get in or out without clearance.

"Well, you obviously wouldn't want a tyrant like my father in charge. A way to fix that would be to have multiple dragons running things and making rules, making decisions together, sort of like the council. However, there's the problem of disagreements within the group that may cause decisions to come to a conscientious too late. Unless, of course, you had a different idea that doesn't involve a group." Scarlet said.

"Well how about I be King and you be Queen or second in command, ether way I don't intend on dropping down and I'm sure I have enough willpower or control to not go mad like he did"

"That sounds reasonable." Scarlet replied. "And how about we make some sort of deal, on the off chance that one of us does go mad with power, the other will put a stop to it."

"But of course my Queen", finally after some distance of talking the area could be seen encased in the giant shield. "I will say that I suspected why the council are letting me construct a kingdom and supplying all these materials is no doubt due to them making investment, they want more allies and countries under their rally or cause everyday it seems"

It wasn't long before his commander emerged "Sire message from the remnants, 50 percent of them are in once a good portion of the villager area is complete, 30 percent said no and the remaining are still loyal only to the bloodline" Upon noticing Scarlet he seemed to take a bow "Oh I am sorry, I did not see you Princess forgive me"

"That's quite alright. Relax. I'm not going to take your head off or anything like that." Scarlet teased a bit. "But about those that are still loyal to the bloodline, would it ease their minds knowing that I also will be running this kingdom?"

"It no doubt would indeed"" The only thing that really needed construction was the walls and castle itself. "The council wanted this process to be quick and easy so they looked by my schematics and pre-built the buildings on a floating platform rigging them with air barges...when the time is right they shall fly over and lower the buildings into position, cut the barges off and then move the ground over the platform of rock to settle it in"

"Well, wasn't that nice of them. Sounds like the kingdom won't take long to be put together." Scarlet said.

"That's what I'm suspicious of, they also recently send rather funds to every other kingdom on this continent...and coming from one of the council-member's attack dog...it isn't going to end well for their enemies"

"It sounds like they may be preparing for war, or at least some other big plan, if not that. Whatever it is, they're definitely up to something. I just wonder what."

"So what position will you take up? Queen or Second in Command, I assure you both paths will be platonic only...."

............

The skeleton of the castle itself was up and the walls themselves through merely just stared and not at all connected were fully formed, made not of stone but strange carapace type armor, but at least the walls had steps to allow guards to patrol over the top, strangely enough the front gate itself was black and spikey, in fact all of the outside of the wall was covered in spikes.

Aretis glared at Blue and then at everyone else. "I have magic class with Icestorm as well. I'll......be cautious." He said timidly and then composed himself. "Something is off about....Kobalt." He whispered quietly. "But in any case, if.....if any others have infiltrated the school, we should either plan an escape or find out who they are."

ooc: Considering the fact that the main plot I had planned involved a new curriculum at the school and an evil principal, we were never really on the plot. I mean, seriously, Scarlet was found out on the first day. The plot I had planned went flying out the window. If anything, having Blue and Kobalt at the school brings us back to sort of what the plot was meant to be. We'll get back on track of things soon. Mr. Silverdash is finishing up the paperwork, and then we can get to 'normal' school days. But we were never really on the original plot in the first place. But if Blue and Kobalt aren't stopped within the next day, maybe we can have an actual school plot. or we can just fight evil and kick butt, if that's what you guys would prefer.

"Well, it seems only right that a princess would become a Queen. Besides, I simply like the sound of that better than Second in Command." Scarlet answered.

Firefly nodded as well. "I also have magic class, and I'll keep an eye on Kobalt when I have him. If my Empath abilities kick in, I could even sense what he's feeling, but I still can't control that and it's not very reliable. Still, I'll do my best to watch him and stay on guard. I may keep Mr. Silverdash informed as well. He needs to know what's going on, and he usually listens to me."

ooc: Exactly. And my biggest pet peeve of this current RP (which, I also admit I did step over the line myself, but it was kind of necessary), is that this is supposed to be a school RP. Where, dragons are supposed to learn how to use their elements or physical abilities or whatnot.
But, as far as I can see, everyone already knows their crap. Icestorm can already do his dark matter breath and his aura thing. SO WHO CARES ABOUT SCHOOL? If you already all have your powers and whatnot, what is there for you to learn at a school for young dragons? So if you're bored, just to let you all know, you brought this upon yourself. And it wasn't just Spyroconvexity's fault. Everyone more or less had a part in where we got. Even me. And now that we're actually trying to get back on plot, it's difficult because there really isn't much to do. I was just using Spyroconvexity as an example (no offense bud). And honestly, I feel like it's already pretty much a 'do whatever you want' plot. Whatever Jackson117 and Scarlet are doing over there might be relevant to the plot later, but as of now, it has nothing to do with the school.

ooc: Yeah, seriously. Mine and Scarlet's plans were ruined on the first day of school. So, to quote some old school villain, Curses! Foiled again! I just tried my best to keep the rp alive, and I let you guys get creative for the same reason. To be honest, I had nothing planned aside from Scarlet and her plans. Nothing! I had to make stuff up on the spot to keep this sucker alive, and considering we're on the 33rd page, I've done my job. I tried to make a school rp, but that plan went flying out the window, and now is finally our chance to get back to that. But as D-o said, what's the point if there's nothing to do and all the students are already powerful? What are they even doing there? What else could they learn? Aside from Firefly, who can barely do anything with her powers at the moment, who needs to learn anything? We could do something plot wise with Blue and Kobalt, but what would we be learning in the meantime? How to identify enemies instantly? Oh, wait, we've done that already! 'Cause we stopped Scarlet on the first day! So, I mean, in terms of the main plot, we finished it. It's done. I could have dragged out the bit with Scarlet, but no, she got found out. So now we need new ideas. I am open to suggestions. I could bring in the council, however exciting they may be, or come up with another villain.

ooc: but that's the thing. The fact that dragons can already use high-tier spells like shooting dark matter, or even HAVING an Aura Form regardless of controllability, a dragon his age shouldn't have developed that capability yet.

And to clarify, what do you think is tougher? Flesh, or stone walls? So if dark matter could blow holes in walls, what do you think it would do on a creature? My point is that really, this is why so many RP's die out is because everyone's the hero. Everyone is already the deus ex machina. The problem solver. And the only way to keep this alive is to just create more conflicts to solve.
So if you're getting bored, by all means, nothing is keeping you from staying in this RP. It's gone 33 pages, which I can boast not many RP's do these days.

ooc: Yes, I understand, but considering how long dragons live, their maturity or learning capabilities might not advance as quickly as shorter lived things. And sure, if that's okay with Cy09 a time skip would be good. I'm all for that.

ooc: Yeah, we could time skip. That's fine with me. But, yeah, the students are powerful. It's like everyone already has access to their abilities at least, if not control of them and everything. And certain powers are hard to learn and master, if you're like the only one of your kind. I mean, there are no other Aura dragons, or Empath dragons, or anymore of Aretis's kind, aside from his sister anyway. So, yeah, not much point for them to learn at a school, where they can't seek help from their respective kind. The only real difference is, Firefly is the only one that can't really use her powers. She can't control them, they just randomly take effect when there's a strong emotion around. That's it. Firefly can't do anything if there's no emotion, because she hasn't learned how to do anything yet. Her powers are hard to control and master, and she's the last of her kind, so she hasn't even begun to control her powers yet. She can't even use her powers when she needs them, as they're not even activated by danger. So she kinda feels weak in comparison to the others right now. But, anyway, let's get on with the rp.

It was the next morning, and Mr. Silverdash had finally finished all the important paperwork that needed to be done. All he needed to do now was send it off to the council to have everything approved. So he put the papers in a magic letterbox, that instantly teleported mail to wherever the destination was that was written on the letter. The council simply needed to read it and approve of it. Then Mr. Silverdash could get to work on getting the school back on track. So he sat there quietly while he waited for their response.

Meanwhile, the teachers and students still pretty much had nothing to do. School hadn't started back yet, so everyone still had time off to just relax and ease back into things.

OOC: Time-skipping would end up with the kingdom being done and all having a stable economy, citizens and trade with the school. If the Council is going to become a antagonist force my character will have no choice but to join them since he'd be going against essentially the people who raised him. Drenyz himself would of over the timeskip tried to forge a friendship with Scarlet and become a shady and cautious figure to the school.

ooc: Ah, right, didn't think of all that. I guess we could go ahead and get the kingdom set up, if that's fine with you. I suppose it isn't really necessary to show the process of the kingdom being put together, unless you had something interesting in mind that you wanted to do with that.

I do want to include the council at some point, instead of just mention them, but I didn't plan on making them strictly good or evil. I imagined the council being mostly lawful neutral in alignment, just made up of all sorts of dragons of good and evil, but they all obey the rules of the land that they have set up. So there are good members, evil ones, strictly neutral ones, etc. So the council as a whole is mixed.

I don't mind Drenyz forming a friendship with Scarlet. She could probably use a friend. But the time skip would just be to the next morning, so I don't think we would miss very much from the previous day. But I do want to try to jump back into a typical school day schedule, since now is kind of a good time to go back to that. It will just be kinda difficult to make that adjustment.

OOC: Time skip ok with me. What comes to the other stuff, well i do totally understand Cynder09 the plot was destroyed in few moments, so we can not expect totally organized rp anymore. Dragon-outcast your point about the everybody wanting to be a hero thing... yea seen it just too many times, and this rp is not even close to be bad about that, but still it makes problems very often. And about other stuff, i am okey with pretty much anything, but it would be nice to try to get this back to a school rp like it should be.... and about Blue, he is for sure going to do something, but i will proportion it with the stuff what will happen at next moments, he can make stuff of his own or just help others to do something, it depends about the future of this rp. About the over power students, well i think i have not done too much... okey Red is a great physical fighter, but still he wants to learn more and i think that his physical power can pretty much be adjusted with the fact that he can not use his element at all... But i will not talk more about that, i think that all we can say that our students still do have something to learn after all.... so lets just keep going.

Blue woke up from his room "Gosh i have to get better room, this little room of a worker is awful..... " He thought and got up from his bed he looked at his hide-out under the bed which was a safe he opened it and looked his gold which he had got from the castle. "It is good that i did took this little safe to here i knew i would need it heh" he thought and closed it. He walked out of his room " Those youngsters do not know what is good to them. But if they are not going to help me to get rid of Kobalt... i guess i have to use the old tactic if you can not win them, join them. But that boaster is not listening what i am saying at all, i have to find a way to talk with him.... if he keeps ignoring me i will get rid of him with hard ways" Blue thought and started to walk at hallway.

ooc: Something else I'd like to make apparent is the use of irrelevant things. I'm not saying that some of us are bad RP'ers for doing this, good lord no! You're all excellent role-players and I'm glad I'm having fun with you guys. And it's just an example, so I am kind of calling you out, Jackson, but at the same time it's good for everyone to learn. I love what you're doing with your society and castle thing. It's wonderfully crafted, but again it's a diversion from the main point of the story. Yes, perhaps it will be useful later, but this isn't an RP about constructing great societies or bringing them down. Even going to Scarlet's castle was well, it wasn't a bad move. Everyone went along with it and had a lot of fun with that, but I'm thinking that that is also part of the source why we moved away from the school objective. If you see my point.
And to clarify, I'm pretty sure a high council would not rule over such a small area, but a large country-land. Especially if we're creating a new little state within a state, which I really don't believe we did. 'Cause what did we do? We took down a decrepit old castle and I think Dreynz took over a village. Surely that wouldn't be enough to rule over literally just one school and possibly a village. I dunno, it just seems kind of strange to me, but enough of me rambling, let's get back to the RP.

Aretis had woken up earlier. He couldn't sleep much, plagued by so many things going on in his mind. He got his satchel containing his books ready and hoped that it might be a day of good fortune and one that he'd be able to glean knowledge from as he walked around the halls. Kiarae was already up and off with her friends and since there was a little early free time before the first period started, Aretis decided to find his own friends to hang out, namely either Firefly, Icestorm, or Red would be good company for him.

ooc: Yeah, I know going to Scarlet's castle to fight Nitro strayed from the plot, but like I said, we were never really on it in the first place. I also needed to keep this rp alive. So I decided, what the heck, let's go with it. You guys went along with it, so I figured it was fine, and then we'd just go from there. And now we're back at the school, just trying to get back in the swing of things. But so long as you guys are all having fun, and the rp is alive, I don't really care too much what we do. You guys want to destroy and build kingdoms? Fine. I don't care, so long as you guys seem happy with it. You want the formerly planned school rp? That's fine, too. But then we can't have villains be discovered and beaten on the first day back, or else we'll never get a school plot going.
And yeah, the council pretty much rules over all the land, which is why it's made up of dragons from all parts of the world or all kinds of races and alignments. That's kinda the point. They make the laws and make decisions together, and have members of different backgrounds and talents.

Firefly had actually been up for a little while already, having not slept very much. So since sleep wasn't an option, she decided to do something else. So she was outside, off in a secluded area in the woods surrounding the school, sort of close to where Scarlet had been staying in the den Aretis showed her. Firefly wanted privacy for what she was trying to do. She was trying to learn to control her Empath powers. She saw how the others had a better grasp on their powers, and she felt like she was falling behind. She wanted to catch up. She wanted to be able to use her powers, to rely on them when she needed them. She didn't like feeling helpless. But so far, her training did nothing but frustrate her. She needed a fellow Empath to help her, but she was the last one. She was starting to think she'd never master her powers.

"hmm well in the meantime when i am waiting others to wake up, i could make a plan about some kind of trick.... i miss bullying in the style which i used at the time when i was a student at here......" Blue thought, then he saw Red sleeping outside " Well i guess that i could start with my sleepy brother, because if i do not wake him up he is going to sleep too late again heh" Blue opened a window and threw a ball of water towards Red, Blue quickly closed the window and kept going so that Red would not see him. The ball of water hit Reds head and he woke up " What was that... water? Thanks for the wake up brother.... this is just like it used to be at home when we where young... If our mother asked Blue to wake me up he never could do it with out some kind of water surprise..." Red said with a sleepy voice and started to walk towards the school.

Aretis glanced at Icestorm strangely sleeping in an empty classroom. What is he doing there...dragons are forbidden in classrooms without a teacher. He paid little heed to his cry. Aretis slipped his head into the room. "Hey. Icestorm. Wake up! You're not supposed to be there! Do you want to be suspended?"

Aretis sighed. "Well, if I'm correct, school regulations state that students are not allowed to be in classrooms without adult dragon supervision. Mainly because this is a teaching environment and injuries are prone to happen with the misuse of a classroom." He said. "Tch, if you're that tired, just go home if you want to be alone." He said before slipping his head out so he wouldn't be caught nor Icestorm. It would seem suspicious for a student to poke his nose in a classroom and say things.

Mr. Silverdash had finished all the much needed paperwork, and the council had given their approval on his decisions. To be able to get the school back up and running smoothly again, he mad to make somewhat hasty and possibly risky decisions. However, they were necessary to get the school back to normal as quickly as possible. He wanted to put this whole nonsense behind them. If things didn't go well, he could deal with it then, but he really wanted the school back to the way it was. He sighed, hoping he hadn't made any huge mistakes. Now he only had to inform the school of what was to come and tell them when the school would be back on schedule.

He sighed and activated the magical intercom. "Attention. Attention students and teachers. I have an announcement to make. This is important. I need everyone to listen carefully. As of now, all paperwork has officially been completed, and approved by the council. I, Mr. Silverdash, am your new principal. Now you may be wondering who I assigned to take my place. Well, I gave it some thought, and I could not think of a more suitable replacement. Your new vice principal will be Blue, a former student here. Please give him a warm welcome, and remember, just because he used to be a student, doesn't mean you should respect him any less than you would myself. Also, we have a new magic teacher, Mr. Kobalt Blackfrost. Please give him a warm welcome as well, as he is new to our school. Now then, preparations have been made to get us back on schedule. However, we will worry about that later. For today, I want all of you to familiarize yourself with each other and the school. Get to know your new vice principal and magic teacher. For tomorrow, we will start back with a normal school day. Well, at least within the beginning stages of one, anyway. Tomorrow will likely be like our first day back, except hopefully without all the chaos and excitement as before. Anyway, that is all. Please carry on with your day."

Aretis blinked. Nice. Another free day! Well, I do would like to get to learning, but for now, acquaintances would be nice. Though, Blue.....as vice-principal? Hmm....I'm not sure I like that idea. He thought to himself, deciding to go find Firefly. She didn't seem like someone who'd be late to school.

Firefly was still outside, off by herself. She was close enough to hear the announcement, but didn't think much of it was she was busy. She wanted to learn how to control her powers. She wanted to be on par with the other students. She didn't like being helpless and defenseless. However, with each attempt, she failed. With each failure, she grew more frustrated. She growled in her frustration, and ended up breathing out a small fireball. Her eyes widened and she grinned, happy to have something happen. However, when she tried to repeat it, nothing. She growled again and stomped her foot. Firefly sighed, knowing she would never control her powers at this rate.

Blue was smiling broadly "Excellent just excellent" he thought when he heard the announcement. And kept walking at the hallway

Red had not heard the announcement and he just now entered to the school he was walking like a zombie, it could be seen from him that he should have slept some more. When he had walked for sometime he saw Aretis " Ou good morning (yawn), what time is it? " Red said with a really sleepy voice.

Aretis shrugged. "A few hours after dawn I'm guessing." He said and frowned after searching and realizing Firefly wasn't in the school. He decided to check outside and around school grounds.
