((OMG, literally! XP))
The sky was covered in light-gray storm clouds, just the way the figure standing on Solranous's roof liked it. He placed clawed hands on his hips as his azure eyes scanned the area, the two ice-like bades on his back sparkling under the filtered sunlight.
"It's been too long since I last went mortal." The figure stated in a masculine voice.
It had a build and shape much like Solranous's, and was the same size as well. It had large, rough-looking silver scales, chrome-colored claws on both its hands and feet, and a row of semi-transparent, ice-blue spikes running down its spine, starting at the top of the neck and ending near the tip of the tail. It had a pair of chrome horns on the back of its head, but the beast’s most noticeable feature was the pair of large, jagged, fin-like blades shaped much like a stilled flame, each an icy, semi-transparent blue and located on either shoulder-blade. It’s chest and stomach weren’t covered in scales; instead, it had what looked like an area of smooth, dark-gray muscle, though it gave the impression of being just as durable as the rest of its body. Finally, a mane of metallic, chrome-blue, blade-like hair stretched out from the back of the beast’s head, roughly halfway down its neck.
The figure flapped his arms in giddy excitement as he spotted the Xenomorph-half-dragon hybrid approach the house, then the dragon barrelled backwards, lying down on the roof so as to not be noticed.
...despite the fact the top-half of his back-fins protruded above the roof-wall.

Xeno-Myrr spotted the being on the roof, but growled to herself, "I don't have time to see who it is or what he's up to, I have to get these two to Solranous so he can heal them, preferably before they die!"
The hybrid dived down and landed at the door, kicking it open, surprising Solranous.
"What is the-"
"Do whatever it is you do to heal wounds, because Myrr may die from her bleeding, she had a painful encounter with Khimera!"
That was more than enough reason for the intrusion, and Xeno-Myrr set down her light half and Mortis. It didn't take a surgeon to figure out who needed medical attention first, and Solranous mended Myrr's wounds almost completely, before turning to Mortis. He knew that setting a bone back in place and merging the pieces that may have resulted was within his power, but he also knew that it caused excrutiating pain for the patient.
Solranous used his telepathy to make sure Mortis stayed unconscious, like an anestisa(sp?)-induced sleep, while he carefully mended the bone and re-fused the two halves back to normal. However, he couldn't make them like new, so he got hospital-grade wrap, and bandaged the places where Mortis' bones were once fractured, tight enough that they wouldn't shift and break again, but loose enough that blood flow would not be stopped.
He then glanced back at Myrr who was pale from all the blood she lost.
"Its a miracle she didn't die from bloodloss before you got here." Solranous dullly commented, grimacing at what Khimera had done to the two of them.
The dragon cringed, then levitated the two as softly as he could to seperate rooms where they could recover... and yet... He couldn't shake the feeling that there was someone here, someone who could have great power should he so wish.

Outside, a lightning bolt struck the ground a short distance away from the building, making everyone's hair become electrically charged and stand on end.
"My bad!" The draconic entity on the roof shouted.
Outside, the very same figure scowled, wiggling his fingers at the sky and making odd motions with his hands. Above, the sky kept producing bolts of lightning that snaked about as the dragon wished them to, and the silver wyrm snickered.
"Strange how small things amsue small minds." He muttered, smirking.
He then clenched his fist, and several bolts collided in mid-air, the reuslting flash creating a thunderous boom. The figure choked for a second, remembering the two wounded inside of the house trying to recover.
"Gotta be more careful." He grumbled.
The entity sighed, then made a cutting motion with his hand. The clouds then thickened somewhat, and began to fill the warm air with a light drizzle of rain.

Solranous and Kisara came out to look at the sliver wyrm, the latter's hair being a fuzzed up afro-like situation with small sparks here and there.
"Uh, if your going to toy with the weather like this, could you please take it some where were no one will be effected by it." Kisara asked politely.
"But before you leave, if you do... who are you?" Solranous continued.

The wyrm blinked, then rubbed the back of his head.
"Uh.. sorry. Guess I got bored."
He turned to walk away, only to trip over the roof-wall and land on the street below, grunting on impact. He peeled himself out of the concrete and clutched at his face, then replied politely,
"If I told you who I was, I doubt you'd believe me. And don't bother reading my mind to find out either, unless you want your brain to explode."
He ripped himself out of the pavement, then stood back up, brushing himself off. He scowled at the busted road, then blinked, and the pavement was good as new. He smirked, then glanced back up at Afro-Kisara and Solranous, stating,
"Eh... sorry 'bout that!"
He paused, then shrugged.
"I guess you can call me Bahamut!"

"Bahamut?" Solranous asked, but he was certain the silver wyrm was dead serious, if he really were Bahamut, it should be with in his power to take another form to appear 'normal' here.
"I believe you, though it does strike me odd that a deity would wish to come down here like this. Oh well, who am I to argue?" The dragon continued, sighing to himself.
He glanced to Kisara, seeing her try, and fail, to tame her now unruly hair, all the while 'chanting', "Stay down, Stay down, Stay down." Solranous rolled his eyes and laughed at her, making Kisara glare at him.
"Need some help, Kisara?" the dragon asked.
"You call laughing at me helping? No." Kisara grumbled, still trying, and making Solranous laugh again.

Bahamut sighed.
"Sometimes I ask myself the same question... ah well. I guess I just miss being mortal, is all." He stated.
Bahamut gave Kisara a wayward glance, bit his tongue through a smirk, then snapped his fingers. The static had left Kisara's hair, and somehow managed to fall in place perfectly. Bahamut laughed, then stared up at the sky. Chronepsis's foresight was troubling the platinum wyrm...
He clenched his fists, wishing he could just take Draethik himself... but sadly, that wasn't a possibility. Bahamut glanced through the wall of the warehouse and at Mortis, who of which was mumbling in his sleep.
Well... Bagan'll be glad to know he's in good hands... Bahamut thought.
He was then standing on the roof, glancing off to the side.
"Since I'm a benevolent, bored deity at the moment... do you guys want any minor favors?" He asked.
His face was calm, yet his voice sounded almost as if he were begging them...

"I'm sorry that you are bored like this, but I don't have anything that really needs to be taken of, assuming minor means no killing anybody." Solranous replied.
Kisara muttered a quick 'thank you' before putting the brush away. "Um... sorry... nothing here either..." she responded, looking away.

Bahamut sighed, recalling the events foretold by Chronepsis...
His tail lashed, and he muttered silently,
"I don't give a rat's ass if Chronepsis thinks it'll happen, it WON'T."
He turned back to Kisara and Solranous, the air around him warping.
"I apologize for antagonizing you like this, I normally don't do these kind of things. Now before I go, I have several things to tell you that may be of help."
The skies overhead darkened somewhat with Bahamut's mood, yet he paid them no heed.
"First, you know Draethik will come after Mortis next month. He's lying. He'll be after the wyrmling either next week or at the end of this month. Secondly, you need to know about his past, so you understand why Draethik is doing this. He'll only open up to two of you; You, Solranous, and Cynder."
The dragon's eyes seemed to flash, then continued,
"Thirdly, Khimera just left Shive to die out in the woods after assimilating him as well. Finally, don't let Evihs find out about Cynder's Hollow side."
The clouds lightened up, and Bahamut sighed in relief.
"Excuse me for a moment." He stated, holding up a finger.
He turned around and faced the sky, a defiant grin on his face as he 'flipped off' some unknown entity.
"YEAH! HOW DO YA LIKE THEM APPLES, CHRONEPSIS?! I JUST F*CKED WITH YOUR SO-CALLED UNCHANGABLE FATE! HMMMMMM!!!" He yelled.
He turned back and slicked back his mane, exhaling.
"Sorry bout that."

Solranous nodded at these revelations.
"I suspected as such about Draethik. The second I don't understand why, but will not question, and I'll have to get to Shive ASAP."
'But I don't understand the reason we have to keep Cynder's Hollow a secret from Evihs, will he try to consume her soul for more power if he finds out? Or will he somehow split the two appart? These are events I dread, because both have a painful end for young Cynder... She doesn't deserve that after all those torturous years.'
"Kisara, keep an eye on Mortis and Myrr, I'm going to find Shive as quickly as I can, it should not take too long." Solranous said, taking off.
"All rig- Wait, Shive's still alive!?" Kisara exclaimed, watching where Solranous was flying to, and knowing she wouldn't get an imediate answer.
"How the hell do these guys keep coming back for more?" she asked herself, then glanced at Bahamut, "Don't answer that, please."

Bahamut snickered.
"Actually, what I heard from Daralog, Shive's father, it took a lot to get Shive back here. We thought he'd be eager to go, but I guess not." He stated.
Bahamut paused, hearing a voice in his head, then sighed.
"Ugh... seems I have to return to my dull existance back in Heaven... well, it was nice meeting you mortals... ya seem... interesting. Keep fighting the good fight!" Bahamut stated.
Bahamut opened a rift into the air itself, and was halfway through it when he paused, then jerked his head up, asking some unseen force,
"What do you mean 'you got that part about Evihs wrong'?"
A large, obsidian claw shot out of the portal and grabbed Bahamut, wrenching him through as the portal closed.
* * * * *
Meanwhile, inside the warehouse, Mortis lay awake, having heard the entire conversation. He sighed, then silently opened a window, slinking out of it as he winced in pain, but restrained himself from crying out. He landed down, then slinked off into the shadows of a nearby alley...
