Arcarius's Cave

[Arcarius]

~~While in the Hor Mountains, you might see a cave. The inside is filled with nothing more then old rocks. This is Arcarius's home.~~

**Inside his cave, Arcarius is busy. He is banging his tail against the walls, breaking them down easily. This will make his cave bigger, something he likes to do.**

[Mystery]

Soundracer sat in the shadows. His clear transparent body blending in with the surrounding areas. His dark, navy blue eyes glinted faintly from the shadows, seeming like glittering stones in the cave wall. The Sound dragon was forever thankful that this dragon made his home bigger and bigger. It made him feel more welcome, there was more space for both massive creatures to fit.

The Negative Dragon watched in silent amazement, his long tail with stripped yellow pattern curled around his paws, his presence currently unknown to this creature; for that Soundracer was also thankful. His clear, see threw body was keeping him hidden from this dragon that could prove fatal, and what would the whole cave world do without its sound?

The thought made the special dragon shiver quietly. Disaster.
He focused his gaze on his job. Shadowthief had already come and gone; the shadows in the cave already to her liking.
Jaws parted about a thrid of the way open, his eyes never left the movement of the rock and the dragon's tail. Each time the tail hit, the sound was there. Every time the rock hit the ground, the sound was on time.

[Arcarius]

**Arcarius turns around, sensing the foreign presence of another dragon. He hits the cave one more time with his tail, and starts looking left and right, hoping to spot the other dragon. Raising his nose to scent the air, Arcarius starts walking around his domain in search of the intruder. The dragon stops in front of a shadowy area in his cave and sniffs the air again, sure he is in the right spot. Still not able to see the dragon, he swings his monumental tail only a few feet from the cave wall, intending on making the dragon move without smashing his head into the wall.**

[Mystery]

Soundracer was in for it. The Negative dragon was safe in the shadows, but out in the open he was as dead as a doornail. His negative colours would quickly reveal his identity, and Soundracer wanted no fight. Then things took a turn for the worse. The dragon had senced he was here and had lashed out with an attack so unexpectedly!

It left but one option, and Soundracer really wished there was some other way. But finding none, he spread hs wings and ducked underneath the other dragon's tail and scurried forwards, his talons making soft 'clacks' on the cave floor. Once clear, he leaped forward with a loud russtle of wings and curled around to gaze at this cave's owner.
The light reflected off his scales, showing bright white on his backside and the side of his face where the dim light shown threw. His blue eyes blinked, staring at his attacker, with a hard gaze, but they softened and he remained standing, bringing his wings to his side, his tail lashing around to his side, showing bright white against the dark cave.
His chest puffed out proudly, his shyness and quiet speaking habits making him not say anything, but his eyes shone 'why'?

[Arcarius]

**Arcarius paced back and forth in front of the negative dragon and finally asks** What brings you here wanderer?

[Mystery]

Soundracer relaxes, glad this dragon did not persue the attack. Smiling as best he could, he wraps his tail aroudn his paws, sitting down comfortably.

"My name is Soundracer. You were destroying the walls in your cave, which is fine, but it makes a different, loud sound. There for I have to be here to make sure the sound falls and comes at the right time." He blinked, blue eyes disapearing and reapearing. "It's my job."

He watches the other dragon pace around, and his smile faded. "I'm sorry for intruding. I didn't really have a choice..." He was lost for words, and his head fell a little, angled towards the ground.

[Arcarius]

Arcarius sends a small smile back, replying, "If it's really your job I will let you be, but I must ask you not to get in my way, or, lets just say you won't see daylight again." Arcarius waits for Soundracer to move away and then re-starts hacking busily at his cave, sending colossal chunks of rock sailing through the air. He takes a pause and asks Soundracer, "What do you think of my cave so far?" The cave was about 9 feet into the mountain and was about 9 feet tall. It looked like a dark mass on the mountain.

[Mystery]

Soundracer felt relieived that this dragon wasn't going to do any harm to him. He nodded gently, making sure to move well out of the way, before sitting down and watching the dragon hack away at the cave walls. His jaws snapped open and closed with each blam at the tails and each smash of the rocks on the ground.

The negative dragon looked around, sweeping his tail across the ground and warpping it around his claws. He turned back to Arcarius. "Your cave is very big. Very big and very deep. It is very, very nice indeed. you take good care of it." He said with a small grin.

[Arcarius]

"Why thank you, I am rather proud of it myself. I'm kind of tired right now so I'm going to take a break. Feel free to look around, I believe you would enjoy looking at the inside
closer." "By the way if you are expecting to be fed I am truly sorry that I have nothing to give you. I am running short on supplies."

[Mystery]

Soundracer nodded, his reflective, negative affects on his surroundings making him stand out slightly from the cave.

"That's quite alright. Thank you for the offer, but I have eaten somewhat recently. I wont need to eat until later on, I hope you happy hunting soon though!" He smiled, standing to his feet. He was greatful the dragon was taking a break for now. He'd be back later, most sounds making their own which was perfectly fine. Now that Soudnracer had sent a good beat and sound for the rocks, they could do it on their own.
It was the sudden, different ones that called for Soundracer's attention. Like his brothers and sisters playing with speed. He frowned at the thought, knowing he should go back soon, yet not really wanting too.

He took up the dragon's offer and decided to look around. He padded forward, admiring the cave and the smooth walls that the dragon had proudly done himself. He left himself to wander around, thoughts wandering.

[Arcarius]

Arcarius settles down on the ground, enjoying the warmth of his cave. He looks over at Soundracer, and asks, "I'm confused, if you control sound how can you control all the world's sounds?"

[Mystery]

Soundracer paused his admiring to look over at Arcarius. He blinked, never actually answering this question before. His siblings, even himself, have never really questioned their role and abilities within their land. He walked over a little closer before sitting down and curling his tail aroudn his paws.

"I do not control all sounds at once. When something, or someone, makes a sound that is usual, like speaking, or wind threw the trees, birds chirping or repeditive sounds that happen a lot, I make the simple sound of starting it. The sounds almost adopts the rhythum, and keeps it going. When someone or something makes a loud, unusal sound like your banging or things like Thunder, then I need to be present to make sure the sound returns. It is sudden, and the sound doesn't have time to react. That's what I do."

He blinked, cocking his head to one side slightly. "Does that make sence?"
