‘Not scary sir,’ Sortos replied quickly, all a while shaking his head nervously. ‘Just…’ admirable, respectable, big, famed, captain, well-known, all came to mind, but what he said sounded like a perfect sum-up of what he was thinking. ‘… awesome.’ 

‘No titles, okay,’ he tried to act normal - which was working considering he had no absolute normal - and nodded, it took a bit for him to understand that THE Captain Flonshade had asked for his name. ‘Sortos, Sortos Nefeson,’ he stuttered, then stood still, eyes rolling in his head, checking if that actually was his real name, to which he concluded. ‘Yes, that’s my name.’ 

[thonflonshade]

Thon had met his fair share of people over the years and he’d seen just about every reaction that was possible. This was no different from that. It wasn’t the first time a young Mancer had met him and been speechless simply because of his title. It honestly made him kind of nervous himself, like if he said the wrong thing or referenced something from his past Sortos would think of him as nothing more than the monstrous creature that many of the older Mancer’s viewed him as. “Well, Sortos, let me buy you a drink? I’m starting to think you need one as much as I do.”

The Empty Bar || Convo

[sortos-nefeson]

oh my gods. No one other than famed Captain Thon Flonshade was the first to enter the bar after Sortos had been there for a while. He was pretty sure his jaw would drop if he hadn’t been in too much of a shock to move. 

‘Uhm, Captain, sir. Mister Flonshade, hi. Could be I guess. I’m.. ah… a DracoMancer. So… I’m…’ pretty nervous, were the words he was looking for. 

[thonflonshade]

Thon smiled at the other Mancer. Bless his heart, he was so nervous. “Take a deep breath kid. No need to be nervous. I’m not as scary as everyone likes to pretend I am.”

“And please, call me Thon. We are in a bar after all, no need for titles here. What’s your name?”

[sortos-nefeson]

The Empty Bar || Convo

It was past noon, and Sortos was sitting on the bar of an empty cafe, waiting for people to hang out with. Though he was pretty sure the moment anyone turned up he would be a nervous wreck. But nevertheless, he was not going to let this day pass him by without trying at least to have a conversation with someone. 

[thonflonshade]

Thon walked into his favorite, usually empty bar. It had been a long day at work and he just wanted a quick drink before heading home. He ordered his typical whiskey and turned to look at the only other patron in the bar. “Do I know you from somewhere?” He couldn’t help feeling as if he’d seen the boy before.

Are there limits to commanding a whole fleet?

Communication has it’s limitations. We usually just yell between ships which isn’t very effective, I’m sure you can understand why. Though birds help with delivering messages don’t tell Marius but we use pigeons a lot. That’s usually the only problem that arises, though many other little problems can stem from that.

[thonflonshade]

What's the coolest thing you've ever done with your magic?

I flood entire cities on a nearly monthly basis. Sink enemy vessels by crushing the hulls in seconds using the water around them. Sometimes I get bored and sit underwater for hours in an air pocket that I created. To be honest, there isn’t much I do with my magic that isn’t cool.

[thonflonshade]

If you could, would you always be fighting at Loriente's side?

No. Mostly because we are made for two very different areas of fighting. She does well on the ground and obviously I serve better at sea.

[thonflonshade]

Are you looking forward to being reunited with your wife in battle?

I’m more worried than I am looking forward to it. We are used to going into battle and fighting for ourselves, but being near each other could serve as a distraction for both of us.

Waltzing into the Dragons Keep || Masla vs Juvion & Thon

Juvion blamed Thon. The Captain was the taller of the two by a bit, so clearly, his presence what what tipped off the dragon. Granted, it could also have had something to do with them not having cover or really any method of sneaking around that a dragon wouldn’t see. He was beginning to suspect that perhaps they should have thought this through better, when the dragon descended with a roared warning.

Thon turned to him with a look on his face that said something along the lines of, holy fuck a dragon, and Juvion had to agree, so he nodded to the Captain as if to say, yup, that it is, and we’re screwed but, he gave a shrug, we might as well go out swinging.

He eyed the dragon up—and up—and up—and down, gods they were huge beings… Speaking in the politest tone he could manage, he said, “We’ll just get out of your hair then. If you had any hair. Which you don’t… we’ll get out of your scales.” With that eloquent speech delivered, he saluted to the dragon and turned to leave, watching warily for flames from the corner of his eye.

Masla growled lowly in her throat as her eyes swept over the two legged beings who had dared to enter her domain. Were they really so stupid that they thought they would be able to walk in unnoticed. Or perhaps they had ulterior motives. Whatever the situation may be she would be on her guard.

As the creature spoke she narrowed her eyes. She did not know whether to laugh or to simply scorn at the suggestion the creature had made. With one powerful flap of her wings she was airborne and her jaws were wide open as she let loose a stream of fire that encircled the two of them trapping them in the small clearing.

Masla closed her mouth with a sharp click, as her dagger like teeth connected, and the fire stopped. The circle was obviously very accurate since she had been practicing for years. But now was not the time to admire her handy work. Stepping into the ring of fire, she raised her neck so that she stood poised as if to strike the two creatures in front of her.

“Do you take me for a fool?” She growled, the flames from the fire having no effect on her as she stood half outside and half inside the circle. “You are the enemy and you will not be going anywhere until we benefit from you in some way.” The skin around her mouth pulled back into a dangerous and sharp toothed smile which only seemed to add to the ferocity and the danger the she-dragon possessed, but she did not care. The more scared they were the better it was for her.

@thonflonshade

“Until you benefit from us? You Knights already tried that once. Held a good Mancer captive for ten years and tortured him for information. Though apparently y’all aren’t any good at extracting information because you got nothing from him. What makes you think you’ll get anything from us?” Well, the words were out of his mouth before he knew what he was saying. At least it was great for a final speech (speech being a loose term for what he had just said).

He shot Juvion another look this time saying sorry I definitely fucked it up and we could die now. Sometimes he cursed his own impulsiveness in situations such as this. It made it hard for him to keep his mouth in check. Though in his defense he didn’t usually have to watch what he said. He was also used to being the most powerful creature in all circumstances so he definitely felt a bit lower than he was used to at the moment.

It was then that he remembered the canteen full of water at his side. If it came to it he could use that to fight while he pulled more water from the environment around him. Without moving he started feeling through the ground and plants, measuring how much water he would have to work with if he had to fight.

Do you remember the first time you met Loriente?

This is gonna sound a bit creepy actually.

I first met her very briefly when she was being trained by Michael Judiut in school. I was stopping by the school to speak to Tarac, who had just been promoted into the Elite, if that says anything about how long ago this was. I ran into Michael and was saying hello so he introduced me to her then. Of course I doubt she even remembers that, she would have been around age ten.

Waltzing into the Dragons Keep || Masla vs Juvion & Thon

The wind was favorable at present, Masla noted as her wings gave a powerful flap, propelling her forwards. Although the wind smelled of something that had been present for quite a few years but now it was more noticeable then ever before, the dragon noted grimly, as she flew at a slightly languid pace over her domain.

Battle.

Sometimes whatever course a living being took and no matter how hard they tried to avoid it fighting was inevitable. There were different kinds of battles that came with those fights. A being would fight for it’s survival. Or they would clash in a battle of words instead of swords. Words were as powerful as swords, Masla mused to herself, her sharp cat like eyes scanning the ground below her as she kept watch over the territory under her protection. 

Catching sight of two figures she growled when their scent hit her nose, a wisp of smoke curling from her mouth as she descended.

‘Intruders!’ She roared, landing in front of them and growling. ‘Begone lest you feel the heat of my flames.’

Let’s go investigate the dragon quarters on the Knights side. It had seemed like a good idea at the time. It was the middle of the night everyone was surely asleep or busy, the dragons would be asleep, it had seemed like a flawless plan. Though calling it a plan was a bit of a stretch. One second Thon and Juvion were talking, the next they had decided to get up and go investigate uncharted territory. 

It was very easy to get bored around a Mancer camp at night, most people were sleeping or busy preparing for the next day’s battle. It was particularly boring for a ship captain who was landlocked and told basically to make himself useful around camp because there weren’t any strong water sources nearby to make him powerful in the battle field. 

Not wanting to be useless and stuck sitting at camp, he’d been whining to Juvion about it and one of them (he wasn’t even sure which at this point) had suggested going on this crazy mission. So now here they stood face to face with a dragon, not nearly enough weapons on them for the situation. 

He shot Juvion a look trying to convey to him silently, now what?

Thon Flonshade and Juvion Modord will strike at the Goodlands’ dragon quarters. As they soon notice, however, those grounds are not unprotected.

I have these questions Three || Thon & Yoa

[thestoriesofyoa]

Her eyes grew wide as the Captain accepted her and welcomed it. She had never expected that, but surely welcomed the idea to ask whatever she wanted. Not that she expected him to answer all of them, but still. Being able to see his reaction was already a great thing. She sucked in some air and let her thoughts race through her had to decide which to ask first, and which to ask later. 

‘Okay, uhm… I was wondering, I know Marius very much believes in the legends of the seas, in the Gods that venture there, like the twins and such. I’ve always wondered if that has like… rubbed off on you too. Do you believe in them? And to what extend? I know that might be a weird question, but it’s hard to see from a person alone if they’re people of worship or not.’ She didn’t know why she felt like explaining why she asked the question, maybe it was just nervous rambling. Probably just that. 

[thonflonshade]

“I’m very much a person of worship, though I don’t believe in the same Gods as Marius. I believe in the old Elvish Gods and Goddesses, some of which I’m fairly certain aren’t even worshiped anymore. Moucharder is the only one I actively worship though. She is the protector of the seas. She lures sailors toward her through singing. Some she brings to commend them for treating her waters with respect, while others she tortures and kills because she feels they have harmed her seas in some way.

“Of course being aboard a ship with dozens of men who are extreme in their belief systems has made me believe in a few other gods and goddesses and curses and monsters. Sailors are a superstitious group of people to be around.” Thon couldn’t help but smile. A Mancer wither her level of enthusiasm wasn’t something he saw commonly. The war had taken it from most of them. “Sorry if that was a longer answer than you were anticipating.”

[thonflonshade]

Have you ever had to replace your main ship?

Yes. Laikas was my flag ship from day one. She was a sturdy vessel and never had much damage dealt to her. However, during the battle of Alcart we lost the ship due to some Knight crushing the hull. That was the only time I ever had to replace the main ship. We had one built as a replacement, but we ended up just using one of the other original ships.
