Description Li flew at Tholaxxius, mouth open and claws out. Tholaxxius sideslipped away, but Li still got a mouthful of wing. She tore away the thin skin and blanked as she climbed. Tholaxxius roared in fury and breathed fire in Li's wake. It didn't do any good. Like him, she was immune to fire, he may as well be blowing hot air at her. He flapped his wings and climbed after the fast rising Li. He snapped at her tail, from which he barely managed to catch the whipping tip between his jaws. He jerked her out of her graceful ascend and into a thumbing fall. Li uttered a savage roar, twisted her body around and shot downwards like an arrow. When her heavy body collided with his, the force of the impact shook the ground.

Jerome, Eva, Jon and Joe, who had been watching the titanic battle with fascination, were knocked off their feet. When Jerome managed to get back on his feet and cleared the dust from his eyes he could see the two battling dragons rise from the ravine again. The violence of their beating wings almost knocked him down again. "What are they doing?! Are they fighting each other?" Jon yelled at Jerome as he peered from behind the boulder where he had taken cover.

"Well, either that or they are mating." Jerome said slyly as he turned his attention back to the two battling dragons.

"R..really? You think so?" Stammered Jon. "I mean, I think they are fighting, look at how he's biting her and why would he try to grab her like that if not to hurt her?"

"That doesn't mean anything." Jerome replied with a grin. "Why, on my wedding night....but that's not important right now, is it? We better get out of here while we still can."

It's a scene from my story: The Twin Fires. About time I did a dragonbattle picture. And I rather like the new coloring technique. Design of the dragons based on those of D&D

you know if was Soviet Russia there wouldn't be so much nonsense you will press one button and it would work snuffs the Fires out with one huge explosion.

PS if you know what i am talking about first is not a nuclear bomb but something close to it.

It's Morocco and the borders are closed, not a chance for Sovjet Russia to be showing up.

LOLMANIC45 In reply to Netarliargus [2011-07-13 20:09:01 +0000 UTC]

First I know that Second if this took place Soviet Russia they will be at DEF-CON 1 and third if the UN figures that Moroccan prince is controlling the red dragon they can invade Morocco for terrorist plots and if necessarily use Inter-Continental ballistics missiles on the dragon are approved if there at DEF-CON 1 which after what he done to Paris most likely he will nuke by the french any country in the nuke club and since their the characters are a mountain unless there is nearby town the can use Nuclear deterrence after a vote in the UN but in soviet and Tholaxxius did this to Moscow in 1959 and if he fled from Moscow he life would down to days not hundreds years.

Probably, but dropping nuclear bombs on someone else's country is not something the UN is going to do lightly.
There are still quite some dictators and terrorists around today to which the UN is doing little.

Well Morrco has pretty a Weapon of mass destruction and they are using and it is pretty and missile can hurt it so they probably ahutoized it so it will not cause any more damage but this was 1959 their will be no red tape

Small in the relative sense of word, it'll have to be a pretty big one to fit around the finger of a dragon.

Heh, though love between a chromatic and a metalic dragon is unheard of.

Thanks a lot, I'll try. Now I can start focusing on mor detail. Like the bracer Tholaxxius is wearing here.

lol, apparently it does happen now in 4th edition. There was one artist on here who did an image of a cross between a Red and a Silver Dragon .

You're welcome! Hmm, must be pretty powerful explosives in there to be a threat to a dragon .
