It was early morning when the crimson-scaled dragon finally stopped for a moment. He was high in the sky when his eyelids suddenly drooped and he dipped dangerously. The short fall which had ensued jolded him to his senses as he looked below for a place to stop, for he had been flying all night.
It was a stroke of luck he happened to be above a large, and dazzlingly bright lake, an obvious choice for a rest. Circling to save energy, Synthscale made his way down, and dropped the last few feet to the ground, the cool sand embraced his long talons, and he welcomed the coolness.
Stretching, the large dragon made his way over to the water, sparkling in the slight morning light. After a few moments examining it to be sure it was safe, he dipped his maw in for a long drink. The soothing liquid drizzled down his throat and cooled the raging fire within. Finished, he ducked his whole head in before shaking himself dry and going back from the water to find a comfortable spot to sleep.
There were long grasses and reeds, so even one as...obvious as himself might be overlooked in the overbrush. Circling once, Synthscale lay down and fell into a deep sleep.

(see Signature for what he looks like. You can't see his earrings) The sleeping shape of Digi was about 10 meters away from Synthscale. Digi sniffed the air and opened his red and blue eyes. He gave a great yawn and looked around, surprised by the sight of the almost-twice-his-size crimson red dragon (Digi is six feet tall). Digi stared for a moment before getting up and stretched his arms and legs one at a time and then stretched his bat and bird wings. Big they were, yes, but not big enough to be able to fly. He started to walked over to the lake, the earrings on his ears hit each other and made a matallic ringing sound.

Sleep is a strange thing really, it rejuvanates the body, mind, and soul and prepares one for he next day of the long and tedious life. Sometimes one has vivd dreams about one's past, or ones' future, or things completely irrelevant, and someimes one doesn't dream at all. It is said that a dreamless sleep is one so deep it can be dangerous, at least to a dragon like himself.
Luckily he didn't sleep deep enough for it to be dangerous, nor did the crimson dragon sleep light enough to be awoken by the breeze. He was attentive though, and he stirred at any signs of a creature bigger than a mouse. In a sense he woke at the sense of danger.
Synthscale opened his golden orbs slowly, and got up and stretched silently. He examined the area searching for what had awoken him. It was still somewhat early in the morning, so something was amiss. And it wasn't hard to find.
If Synthscale had lived with his Ancestors all his life, a Clan, or Tribe or 'True' Dragons, this creature before him, taking a long drink from the lake, would without a doubt be the weirdest....thing he had ever seen. But he hadn't, and this was normal.
The large dragon prodded up, not making any notion to be silent, as he didn't want to sound threatening, but nor did he deliberatly make noise. He dipped his head in the water, keeping his distance out of respect, always keeping a lazy eye on his company. It was not easy to tell when this dragon was looking at them, as his eyes were completely golden, there was no pupil, no iris, nothing to tell a general direction of a gaze. For Synthscale could see almost everything at the same time, just not behind him.
The wanderer didn't know this creature. Didn't know if he, for it seemed like a male, was friendly, a wanderer like himself, or a Clan or Tribe member. He didn't know if the creature to his right was even sentient, he could be mute, or stupid for that matter.
(Stupid being not knowing how to communicate, like a rat doesn't know how to talk to a human. I didn't mean it as offence)

Digi toke his muzzle from the cold water of the lake and turned to look at Synthscale. He noted that you could not see his pupil or iris, but he guessed that he was looking at him.
Digi shrugged and stood up. At lest while he standing up, they were about the same hight. "Hello" He said calmly. "My name is Digi, what's yours?"

Well, that answered one question. Synthscale brought his head up and paused, closing his eyes briefly before answering "I go by many names, as I am a wanderer and most know me as such." His voice was deep and almost grating as he took time to pronounce each word as if thinking them and refining them before speaking.
"You could call me Gaza, if you desire" Gaza wasn't his real name of course, Synthscale guarded his personal information closely, and told only those that needed to know.
This Digirein didn't have the name of the Clans, perhaps a wanderer, like himself? Or a rebel? Or loner? Either way, "Is there any Clans around these parts? Or Tribes?" He didn't say why, but he was looking, not for someone, but for a group of someones. Any information would be of great help.

"Of course" Digi smiled for a moment before it disappeared. "I was in the clan Blazeclan. I was called DigitalClaw...." He said no more, he did not like talking about his past.

Synthscale carefully noted how Digi didn't go on and the way he said those words. Obviously something happened, as he was part of a Clan, perhaps excile? The dragon decided not to pry. "Could you tell me where to find this BlazeClan?" He asked instead, now looking at the fellow loner full on.
(Writers block...I am also short on time. Sorry)

(It's ok, I'm geting that too. Like I can't explane how he changed into a bat) Digi nodded "Sure, we can fly there" And before Synthscale could say anything, he mumbled some words and his body started to change. His legs got a bit shorter, his wings got longer and more bat like, and hit ears became large and bat like as his wings merged with his arms. When he looked back at Synthscale, he was a large bat creature. "Come on lets go" Digi said a he started to flap his wings.

Synthscale watched with interest as the creature before him rippled and changed. An interesting trait, could come in handy. But he didn't comment as the other rose into the air. 'Gaza' took a running start and flapped his wings, rising gracefully into the air, avoiding trees and such.
His wingbeats were slow and calculated, for his wings were large and strong and could hold his weight better than others. It was usefull, because he could save enrgy, just in case he needed it.

Digi on the other hand was flapping his wings faster, it was how bat flied after all. Blazeclan was not too far away, but Digi still did not want to get to close. When they got close enough to smell it, he flew down and landed up side down on a tree breach. "We are close enough. just keep going that way" He said, a silverer of fear showing in his eyes. (Blazeclan hates Digi cause they think he's evil... maybe Synthscale can make Digi come with him all the way...)

Synthscale followed Digi and flew down when he did, just he landed on the ground after hovering for a few beats. The crimson draon looked up at the bat-creature, pondering a few things. "Is there something I should know about this BlazeClan? Something you are not saying perhaps?" He asked, his voice gruff, but not unkind.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Digi....actually, it was because he didn't trust him. It was hard to earn his trust, and he was skeptical about everything, at least at first. Over time, they could trust each other, perhaps be friends. But Synthscale didn't plan to stay for more than a night, and had no intention of socializing more than he had to. He planned to find any news of his ancestors and move on.
That was all he cared about. Or so he thought.

Digi sighed deeply. "I guess you should know, us being friends and all" He smiled. "When I was young, I remembered that I did not always look like this. My fur was white, eyes were sky blue and my wings were bird wings and were big enough to fly with I think." He flipped on the breach and turned back to himself and jumped down. "My brother and I lived a nice life, until we started to change. Dawn became more evil and my body somehow became this way, and then the healer was told by spiritclan that I was evil or something, I don't remember that well. After that, I was mistreated and called a moster..." He stopped, gripping his chest from a unseen pain. "I left, and here I am..." He smiled weakly, he had never told anyone his past before.

Friends? Synthscale honestly didn't know what made him qualified for being a friend, after he knew this Digirein for such a short time, but he didn't comment...yet. He listened intently, and after the story the dragon reflected. So it had nothing to do with him, not directly at least, nothing he should worry about.
Still, this dragon had a sense of justice, somewhere deep in his heart. "Come with me" He said lightly. After a moments pause, he continued "I know what it's like to be mistreated, perhaps we could show them exactly what's what. And if that's how they treat an innocent for the possibility of doing evil, well I wouldn't want to stay anyway. I'll go on my way...and you could possibly come with me, as you are....the first to ever consider me a friend" During his speech his voice dropped in slight anger, and the whites of his eyes could barely be seen. Unconsciously he had dropped into a defensive position, slightly crouched with his wings out.
(Like the signature)
"And I must admit I have not been fully truthfull with you, let me amend that. My name is Synthscale, and I am questing for information about my family"

Digi nodded and then his eyes clouded. "But maybe what they say is true, I could be a monster. A killer...." He looked at Synthscale. "I did not think you would trust me right away, Synth (nick name), I guess I just trust to easy" He thought of what he said about his family"You know, the healer apprentice is a dragon, I think you would like her. She was shy and did not talk to me that much. If she did, Blackheart would take her away." He started to walk away. "Come on, we're not far now"

Synthscale's heart nearly skipped a beat, another dragon! But he must not get his hopes up, there were creatures who called themselves dragons but had no relation to his ancestors. He nodded thoughtfully and said "You haven't killed anyone yet, right? I see no problem. Besides, who has the right to call anyone else a monster? For we are all monsters in our own way." He explained as he followed Digi.
"Those glass houses should not throw stones"He muttered tohimself. They were close, that was good. He might get some answers.

"Well... Sometimes I'd be in a battle or someone was picking on me (By picking, he means being bullyed), and I would not remember a thing but my claws had blood on them and the one I was fighting would be hurt badly...." Digi said, still walking. "No.. I have not killed, but i have hurt. But then again, that does not happen a lot and get picked on all the time... Well, we're here and the border-" He was just about to say more whena golden dragon jumped onto him. "Digi? Is.. is that you?" Goldenfire asked, conazsed. "yea it's me, now get off me, your as havey as a hrose!" Digi yelled at her as she got off of him. "Why are you here!" She hissed. "you were banned moons ago! And who is this!" Digi shkaced the back of his head ( Well, she needed to come sometime..... She was like his only friend, and they were keep apart all the time...)

Synth digested this, it wasn't too uncommon, but an interesting piece of information. BUt when a golden form leapt from the underbrush, the crimson dragon let his instincts take over, he took a defensive stance and a deep growl erupted from his throat. He nearly didn't hear the conversation between the two, otherwise he would've leapt and drove the other away.
They seemed to know each other, but Synthscale was still cautious "Who am I? I am just a passer by. Who are you?" He didn't even realize this newcomer was a dragon, he was hyped up and ready for anything.

"Goldenfire, Healer of Blazeclan" Glodenfire growled. "Another dragon!" She thought. The only one she had seen was Leafstar, and she was only half dragon (Leafstar and Goldenfire have the same mom, but not the dad. Goldenfire is all dragon, and Leafstar is half) "Your the healer now?" Digi asked while geting up. " Yea, Blackheart is too old now" Goldenfire relyed, claming down a bit.

It was then Synthscale calmed down enough to understand exactly what he was looking at, and what he nearly attacked. It was a dragon. A golden female. "Ahh, forgive me for my hostility earlier." He said, bowing his head low and extending his wings in courtesy before returning to his original position.
"I am Synthscale. I am a traveling loner searching for information. I do not mean to be rude, but would you perhaps know anything about...your ancestors?" His voice was deep yet smooth and calm. They were both dragons, he had never thought he would see another outside his Ancestors. Were there more? Synth had expected all the remnants of those rebellious few had all died out. "And are there any...other dragons in this BlazeClan? I am curious"
(If you have ever played Shining Force Neo, his voice sounds like Baron's. (The wolf dude))

"Not much, but I do know from my mom a long time ago before she died is that her ancestors lived away from everyone and the some of them became outcasts, my mom's ancestor was a.. was a... Sorry, I forgot." Goldenfire said, shaking her head. "Well it's good to see you again!" Digi giggled, hanging out her neck in a huggle. "Let go of me, you dope!" She growled.
