thunder of thanasis

Six Months After the Dance of the Moon Dragons The Night of Great Loss "You sure that is the final count?" Greydon lingered by the door, not quite determined to fully enter the room than he was to linger outside it. Taking up the entirety of the doorway seemed the best fit. His eyes watched...

Thanasis always loved the summer months. The sun brought a light that everyone craved, even the godlike drakes that took to the sky. Orissa loved feeling the warmth of it, of which her mother and her lady maids warned her not to stay too long in the sunlight in fear her skin would darken too...

Bani peered out at the storm through the wide windows of their briefing room. It was a dark, swirling mass writhing just a handful of leagues from the city. It was lit with strobes of lightning from within, the sounds of which reached her ears late and diminished. These thunderous booms were...

Apep landed his massive frame with a heavy thud, sending ripples through the earth around him. Rowan dismounted with practiced ease, sliding down alongside the black dragon's forelimb to avoid the large, venomous spines and claws along Apep's hind legs and tail. He walked to the edge of the...

If Vel Anir's academy was the harshest place in the world, then Torrith was a close second. Only recently had it become what could be honestly called a settlement, and even more recently something marginally "safe." Even with the walls built, the bridges guarded, and supplies barely...

Showing weakness had never been something Eira would ever think herself capable of, until someone looked her way and made her want to trust in him and be vulnerable. It was dangerous, the way she fell so fast, but despite the odds of them coming together, Eira never knew a happiness quite like...

"They say, in those continents across the Seas, that there are lands they call Plains too. Except, their grass is green and flecked with daisies." Vhagor glanced across at the Battle Queen of the Na'zarak who was surprisingly silent for a woman with six legs to contend with. On foot as he was...

Nadya let out a sigh as she dropped from the foreleg of Kalyss, bracing herself to land perfectly despite the drop much greater than the average dragon's leg. He had refused to make this easier for her, but Nadya was stubborn as well, and trained her feet and legs to make this drop until it...

Outer City, Thanasis Cullen | Jensen | Danika "What are we celebrating?" Asked the barkeep as she filled a number of steins with an housemade ale that made this particular pub interesting compared to the rest. Nadya leaned against the bar, grinning. She had changed out from her training...

Daylight burned especially brighter this time of the year, which made Nadya that much more grateful that she wasn't out here scouting beyond the Wall into the Wildlands in the dark of dawn. There was an outpost a few miles to the right, the clearing visible from their altitude. Kalyss could...

"Peonies or orchids?" The question came to Orissa as she marvelled at the fitting of dragon armour on her Ransa dragon, a gift recieved this morning at the Royal Palace. It had been fashioned in the smith's style, but complimented well with the blues, greens, and purples of Pixaelys. Orissa...

A cockatrice had thrown the Outer City into utter chaos this afternoon, and the merchants that bred the volatile creature managed to herd it away from the main populace. It was now a task for the Thunder to hunt and kill the cockatrice, equipped with mirrors to deflect any direct eye contact...

(OOC: open to Thunder of Thanasis characters. I'll change the prefix when I figure out how I promise) Alryssa had not been able to sleep. She dreaded the day even before the sun's light filtered through her windows. She eventually rose from bed and dressed. The rest of the house was still...

Riding high above the fertile forest, the sea of green, peaceful and yet vibrant with songs of birds and the rustling of leaves as he flew over them. Khya'xss has always love the rushing of the wind blowing past his ears, the warmth of the rising sun basking upon his skin. It was something he...

Eira swore she would sleep earlier so that she could rise as soon as the dawn broke, but Tyafainne had kept her up all night by awakening the rider with images of the hunt she had gone on in the witching hour. It was an exhausted Malennis rider that found her way into the Merchants' Corner...

"War games? The others got to go on a real mission." Tuon glanced sideways at the boy standing next to her. He towered above her by a good foot or so and his build was the sort that kept others from getting to close out of self preservation, but the expression on his face made him look like a...

"Now. Have you all read your report?" The wind threatened to rip the words from Vhagor's mouth as they flew in a standard formation towards The Borderlands. Twenty plus years of service in the Thunder of Thanasis made him well versed in communicating across the distances between dragons in...

Morning of The Rising, The Heartlands A dragon's roar in the distance drowned out the clap of unnatural thunder. Several of this years hopeful contestants paled and others grimaced. Ten had already realised why riders suggested not eating breakfast and had emptied their stomachs behind rocks or...

Ōmeyōcān, Training Arena Time erased all memories eventually. It had most certainly removed the memory of Ōmeyōcān from the minds of ordinary people in Thanasis. The looming mountain range was nothing more than a great shield that was the cities last defence should the worst happen. For the...

For those not born into wealth and houses, there are but two other ways to gain a dragon. The first is rarer than a dragonseye topaz. It is wielded by mothers across these lands to make their children come to heel, and by generals to install pointless hope in their soldiers, but it is...
