Adelaide could hear the low growl coming from Rafal's throat, she put a hand on his neck. "Adelaide Gray, and I was sent for a little vacation from my region." she did bunny fingers with her hands when saying "vacation". "My dragon and I were kicked from our town for being to much trouble, weren't we Rafal?" she patted his neck, since she could before taking a step toward...Tyler, was it? The man had a stockier build, black beard, mustache, and cowboy hat. "May I ask why you are in this specific forest?" Adelaide stole a glance at his dragons, there was one that stuck out to her, it was...ginormous, good god.

Revenge snarled... a low, threatening sound that made the trees literally shake. She glared at Rafael, her eyes deep and cold.. like the darkest pits of hell. (Overexplaining it, sorry lol)

-

Tyler glanced up as Revenge growled. He had her for... since he was a baby... and he still wasn't used to that. He looked back to the girl... Adelaide. His cold eyes searched her gaze, then turned to Rafal, looking him over. "This forest had what we needed. It was a good place." He said slowly. Tyler was thinking of his big plan now. Fury, Revenge, and Titan said if they couldn't kill Rafal and Adelaide then at least they could fight them. Tyler said no. Icicle said they should become friends. Everyone said no. Phantom said nothing. He always said nothing... unless there was something needed to be said. Tyler... was a fighter, but he also had a brain. He didn't think like most people. "So... Adelaide. If I may, why are you here in this forest?" Tyler asked. He was building up to the grand finale... because truly, he very much hated being unarmed... in front of a girl... with one single dragon. He could have easily flown in there, knocked 'em out, and tied them up. Yet he didn't... Tyler had a bigger plan in mind. Though it still involved knocking them out, because that was fun.

Adelaide glared at the huge dragon once...she? growled. She curled her fist and Rafal seemed to get the gist, she glanced back in his direction and saw a slight red/orange gleam crawling up his throat. "We are just stopping by, and possibly hunting for some food before we take off again. Though we might stay awhile," she smirked. Adelaide cleared her throat and turned to the black and green dragon, "Well if that's it. Then we must get going, Rafal here probably scared off all of the prey, so we are going to have to move along with them." she chuckled, Rafal bent his wing down so she could climb on. Adelaide started mounting, still aware that there were 7 beings watching her every move.

Tyler decided it was now or nevertheless. Also he was slightly angry... we might just stay a while? He held back a snort. Tyler gave a twitch of his finger. Icicle and Revenge shot forward, Icicle grabbing Adelaide 'very' gently, and Revenge grabbing Rafal. Revenge hit Rafal in the head, knocking his lights out. Icicle flew down to Tyler, still holding Adelaide. He looked at her. "I'm sorry but you do not just come and go on MY land when YOU please." He hissed. Tyler quickly pinched a nerve on the back of her neck... and knocked her out. Icicle got a very nice gently grip on Adelaide, and Revenge.... however much she wanted to dig her claws into Rafal... also got a somewhat gentle grip. Tyler hopped on Fury and they lifted into the air with Rafal and Adelaide.... knocked out. "I told you my way works. Every time." Tyler grunted. They flew back towards his boobytrapped valley. When they landed Revenge and Icicle dropped the still unconscious human and dragon into a small cave, yet still big enough it was roomy. Tyler knew how strong dragons could be when they were angry, so just to be sure he had Revenge carry chains out and chain Rafal down. He had Revenge carry them because he was taking no chances: these chains were giant, heavy, massive metal links. Tyler then removed all weapons off of Adelaide and tied her to a tree. That done... he stood back and waited.

Sorry it's so long!-)

Adelaide's head turned in time to see the dragon flying at her, she tried ducking but the dragon was fast... She saw the monstrous size of a dragon head for Rafal, knocking him out and she screamed. "Put me down you!" Adelaide kicked and thrashed in the grip of the dragon, who was making its way to Tyler. She set a cold glare, "Why you little..." she felt a hand slide around her neck and she let out a harsh gasp...and everything went dark.

...Adelaide woke up, her back hurt, and slowly her eyes flickered open. "W-where-" Her eyes went wide, seeing a couple of dragons by here, she held back a scream and looked around frightened. Where was she?! Her head was racing, Adelaide closed her eyes and breathed in, "Wait a minute!" she quickly reopened them and looked around, "Rafal?! Rafal! Where are you?!". Now she had started to panic, and she also soon found that she was tied to a tree, "Blasted dragon holder!". Adelaide looked for the man who had brought her here, "Let me go! I probably won't cut off your hands...maybe just your head" she seethed the last part through her teeth, "Where in the blazes is my dragon?!".

Tyler knew this girl... Adelaide would be a screaming banshee of a hellion when she woke up. He prepared himself, seeing her open her eyes. Tyler watched and waited while she screamed, seethed, and threatened him. "I promise Rafal is okay. I did not injure him in any way shape or form. You threatening to injure me though... that won't do." He said quietly. "Believe me when I say this. I hate to see dragons, and people, tied up. I just feel unsafe when you aren't... obviously a sane reason from what you seethed. For some reason I feel my dragons would be unhappy if their friend got his head cut off..." Tyler looked at her. It was funny... most people would say 'my dragons would be unháppy if their Masters head got cut off'. Instead he said friends. Tyler tipped his head slightly, fingering a dagger. "I really do want to untie you... but I also want me and my dragons to be safe... so for now you will have to stay there. Of course I will find a more convenient way for you two to live... because being tied to a tree and chained to the ground doesn't sound comfortable." Tyler's voice was deep and slow... but it did sound regretful.

Adelaide scoffed, "Yeah, no kidding. My back is killing me.", she looked around, looking at the six dragons she quirked her eyebrow, "Are they all yours? You seem to be respected by them enough for them to follow your orders.". She pursed her lips, trying to look at every possible spot Rafal could be hidden, "What did you do with him? Where is he, you said he was fine but where is my dragon? He would be screeching by now...". Thoughts rolled into her brain, what had they done to her companion!? 'I swear if I find one scratch on him that wasn't there before this happened... I will be doing things.' she thought to herself. No...she didn't know what things exactly she would do, keeping in mind it was still 7 versus 2, but they were going to be bad. "Okay, what do you want with me again? We were trying to settle for a couple of days, hunt some. Maybe stay if this place is well nourished enough, nothing horrible enough for you to freaking know out me and my dragon." Adelaide said the last part a bit louder.

Tyler closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. "Yes, they are all 'mine'. Any of them could fly off at any minute... but they are ,y friends. I don't do it how you do, beating your dragon into respecting you." Tyler growled the last part, his steel hard eyes narrowing slightly. "They only respect me because I respect them." He snorted, turning away. "Rafal is in a cave, over there. Right now he is unconscious, chained to the floor. I'm sure he will be waking up at any minute. Revenge is guarding him, but Phantom is also there to make sure Revenge doesn't kill him.. or maim him... or make him angry is some way. We did not hurt him in the least. No scratches, no wounds. I would never hurt a dragon unless it was absolutely necessary." Tyler glanced back at her. It did look uncomfortable... but he was still thinking of a good way to contain them. There were traps all along the whole outside of this valley. Only he, Icicle, Phantom, Revenge, Fury, and Titan knew how to get out. The containing them part was easy... it was the getting them to not try and kill him that might be hard. Tyler turned to face Adelaide... and his heart stopped. There was his baby dragon... about the size of a Lab puppy... going right up to Adelaide. He knew Volcano would not hurt Adelaide... but would Adelaide hurt him.. to get leverage on Tyler? Tyler's eyes flashed with fear and he took a step forward, his mouth opening then closing. The baby dragon was literally sitting in her lap...

"Hey! I was kicked out of my home because I thought fighting with a dragon was wrong, don't pull that straw with me." Adelaide snarled though she continued listening, "You what?!" he and his dragons had knocked Rafal out and freaking chained him to the floor! "Oh trust me...when he wakes up there will be fire shooting everywhere, burning everything. Yeah, maybe, just maybe...chaining him up wasn't the best idea -" she stopped at the end of her sentence with a small yelp. Looking down a small, dark blue and grey dragon was sitting in her lap looking up at her. Adelaide was startled, to say the least... but she remained calm. This dragon appeared to still be an infant, you couldn't get riled up with a baby dragon...you just cant. Adelaide glanced at Tyler, who looked mortified. Looking down at the small dragon she chuckled, reaching out to scratch under his chin, she spoke softly, "Well hello little one. Who might you be...?" she gave the baby dragon a soft smile and turned back to Tyler. Her emotions had completely changed, but she was still terrified of what was happening with...Rafal. "Who is this?" she tried speaking sternly but it grew soft, she giggled quietly and pet the little dragon's head.

Tyler felt his heart slowly... very slowly... start up again. He let out a shuddering breath... but he was still tense. "That... is .. Vulcan's Eruption. We call him.. Volcano." Tyler said very, very slowly. After experiencing that... he knew what he had to do. Even if it... killed him. Which he was 99 percent sure it would. "Excuse me... for a Moment." Tyler whispered. He hated to leave the two alone together, but Icicle was there. She wouldn't let anything happen to Volcano. Tyler walked into the hidden cave, looking up at Revenge. He could tell Rafal was starting to awaken. Tyler took a deep breath. "Let him go." He said quietly.

-

Revenge looked at him like he was crazy. "...What?" She asked, her deep grumbly voice sounding irritated.

-

"Let Rafal go..." Tyler repeated quietly. Revenge glanced at him again before lifting off the chains. Phantom's eyes widened and he scurried out of there, his small frame going to go stand by Icicle. Revenge slowly left too... and Tyler skedaddled. He would like to apologize to Adelaide before he died a hot fiery death. Tyler walked up behind the tree, slashing her bonds with a dagger.

-

Volcano chirped. He curled up in the girls lap. She was warm. He gurgled, placing his head on her chestnut and staring up at her with giant blue eyes.

-

Tyler hoped Volcano would survive after he died. He swallowed, backing up towards his dragons. "... Revenge, Fury, Titan, Icicle, and Phantom. When Rafal come roaring out of that cave to kill me... you are to stand down. Flee If you have to I don't care about your pride, I care about your safety and Rafal's safety. Just don't... protect... me." Tyler told his dragons very, very quietly. He then backed up a little further till he was standing in the shadows of a tree... watching and waiting.
