Empty Classroom #1

[mels]

"Do you?"

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

"I swear it on my soul. I won't harm the girl in any way.

[mels]

"You have no soul."

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

"I swear on my life," he said, grimly.

[mels]

He hesitated, then took another step forward.

[Rock]

Ro'Daar sat like a complacent puppy. (( X3))

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

"Lie down."

[mels]

He sighed, and slowly lay down on the slab

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

The headmaster chained him down. "I will be back in an hour with what comforts you'll need to survive. I will make regular visits with potential dragons in mind."

[mels]

"Of course."

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

The headmaster stooped and pulled Anya up into his arms. She looked pathetic, clothes and skin cut everywhere from the beating, rope sunken into her neck, which made it bleed. Her eyes seemed... dead.

"Oh dear, I'm afraid she's already gone," the headmaster teased, although she was still alive. He let Adam consider that for a moment before walking for the exit. "No, she lives, but barely."

[mels]

"THEN GET HER TO A HOSPITAL YOU ****!" He shouted.

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

He laughed, the door slamming shut behind him, leaving Adam in darkness.

Anya was taken to the hospital and placed on a bed, where the giant healing dragon((Rock)) instantly took care of her outer wounds, but demanded she stay for a few days, her throat injuries extensive, and the blood loss great.

[mels]

He frowned into the darkness.

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

He grinned, walking out. Time to find some dragon he might agree to bond with. Or lie about one.

[mels]

He sighed into the pitch blackness, and leaned his head against the stone. It wasn't like he was going anywhere if he wasn't chained to a rock... He could already feel the effects f the healing dragon wearing off. Perhaps that would be a nice surprise for the headmaster, to find that his new soldier was quite possibly paralyzed from the waist down.

[Rock]

(( Ilsa les rp infirmary.))

[Rock]

(( I'm sorry o.o))

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

((OOh! okie!))

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

The headmaster returned with a list of names, to see if he knew any of them.

[Rock]

(( Bond with Shou'Ari XD.))

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

((Cool!))

[mels]

He rested his head against the stone calmly.

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

He read through a bit of each personality, until he came to the grouchy healing dragon.

[mels]

He remained leaning against the stone, silent, and rather bored.

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

"You might like to know that the girl's expected to make a full recovery. Oh, by the way, you have three days to live, unless you decide on a bond."

[mels]

"Three days, huh?"

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

"Don't make me regret giving you that much time. No food or water."

[mels]

"Ah-Huh..." The three days without food might be a problem, seeing as he hadn't really eaten much today...

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

"Of course, after that, I'll just leave you to starve down here."

[mels]

"I see... And you aren't leaving me to starve the first three days?"

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

"Oh, those are the days when I actually come down for your answer for the day. Then you can just rot."

[mels]

"Yes, because after wasting so much effort, you're going to leave me here."

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

"After all, if you refuse to bond, better you die rather than live free."

[mels]

"Ah, but I can't really refuse, can I?"

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

"Unless you'd rather die."

[mels]

"No. What I mean is that toll force me at the end of the three days, am I correct?"

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

"At the end of three days, I'll make your position clear, cut you all over so your death is slow, but not too slow, and then leave you for time to take care of -as well as the rats."

[mels]

"I see. I must say, I overestimated you..."

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

"I never pretend to be what I'm not. I am not kind."

[mels]

"What I mean is, I expected you to use the bond to force me into bonding again. I forgot about your cowardice."

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

"Oh, a forced bond isn't usually as powerful as one where those are willing or ignorant of the consequences."

[mels]

"I am not willful, or ignorant of the consequences. And is not threatening me with starvation and death the same as forcing me through the bond?"

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

"It's your willing decision in the end. I could force you to bond right now, if I wished."

[mels]

"Exactly," he said like he'd just won an argument.

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

"The willing decision to bond makes all the difference, however."

[mels]

"It's not willing whatever way you do it."

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

"It's the action of choosing. Your choice to sacrifice your freedom for Anya's life, that was your willingness."

[mels]

"That wasn't much of a choice."

[Ilsa, Veratri, Ember, Nigethion, Shinrai, Anya, Adara]

"It doesn't matter." He read through the list and pulled out suggestions of various dragons.
