Star walked into the grand cathedral, in her human form, black hair cascading down her back, blue eyes watching all arround, finding a place to prey. She walked slowly and deliberatly on the cold stone, her white heels clicking on the ground, her long legs moving her to the center of the room. Her dress flowed behind her like white mist.

Star stopped in the middle of the room and got down on her knee's and prayed, her kind prayed in song so the people in the clouds and heavens above could hear their raised voices. Star put her hands together and opened her mouth.

"Mmmm, mmmm
Say good-bye to not knowing when
The truth in my whole life began
Say good-bye to not knowing how to cry
You taught me that"

Star began to feel light as though her troubles were being desolved.

"And I'll remember the love that you gave me
Now that I'm standing on my own
I'll remember the way that you changed me
I'll remember"

Blue sparkles and white mist began to form arround her knees, legs and feet. Soon her body was being lifted a couple inches into the air, her kind also had a tendancy to levitate when they prayed. Star continued.

"And I'll remeber the love that you gave me
And I'll remember the way that you saved me
I'll remember."
Star was now a good couple feet in the air when she heard the door close very loudly beind her, she stopped singing abrutply when she heard that, then footstesp came next, this caused her to fall back down onto her side. She was very frustrated and embarassed, she brushed her white dress of before standing and looking into the face of a very good looking man grinning at her.

Arthur had come to the Grand Cathedral to see an old friend of his. He had walked the halls for over an horu searchign for him and when he had founf him and spoken to him he heard the most beautiful sound in the world. Every one aroudn him turned to the main hall toward where the altar in the grand cathedral was and Arthur knew someone was praying. Not in a normal way but in the most beautiful way he had ever heard. The dragon inside him hummed with delight as it seemed clamed and ready to take flight at the song.

There were few people he could make his dragons soul clam and he wanted to see who thsi person was because obviously whoever it was, had great power or beauty. He walked toward the tall oak doors and listened to the singign as it grew louder and louder. Arthur started to hum alogn with it even if he did not know the words. He felt a wave of calm and longign to join in rush over him. He felt a peace he had never felt come into him and Arthur sighed in ecactsy for the song made him want to spread his draconic wings and fly without care.

He almost ransformed into his draconic state but in the last moment he took control of himself and opened the wide doors and walked in. They closes behind with a crash and Arthru shuddered as the song ended. He then leoojked at one of the most beautiful creatures he had ever seen and he smiled oh such a smile he had never used. He said," Beautiful, you girl could make a dragon swoon in delight, I am sorry for the interuption and the loudness of my entrance, but I was so entrance by the song that I had no care, I just wanted to be in the center of it". IF that wasn't the truth nothign was in Arthurs mind and then he waited for any explosion of frustration to come.

"Beautiful, you girl could make a dragon swoon in delight, I am sorry for the interuption and the loudness of my entrance, but I was so entrance by the song that I had no care, I just wanted to be in the center of it". Star took in his apperance, blue eyes like the ocean, much like her own, and blonde hair that seemed rustled but the kind one could run their fingers through.

Star smiled and put most her weight on one leg, her white dress moving with every motion. "Thank you." She said with true gratefulness in her voice. "I will pardon your entrance for now." Star winked. "Well I have yet to meet a dragon, but I wish to sometime, you have dragon wings, are you freinds of the facinating creatures?" She asked. "Oh! and if you liked my singing you should some time come and see my show in the theater, I usually just do plays, but some nights its all just my singing and dancing with a partner."

Star was an actress, she could sing, dance and act with the stage lights, glittering magic, dresses that could make any man hungry, and music that could feed the soul, her latest play was that of a courtisan (who is played by star) who mistakes a penniless writer for a duke and falls in love with him, only to die later on of consumption.

Star saw his wings and wished she could show him hers, but she was in her human form for the time being and she was still not a master at transforming. And their civilazations kept the weather court something of great secrecy.

Arthur had let his wings slip out on accident he had not been paying attention. The song had made him lose momentary control over himself. He hoped she would not leave on finding out what he really was. What he was either frightened or disgusted most people. They saw him as some sort of monster except when he was here. Angels accepted him and that was what he liked about angels they liked him considered him a friend. He respected them for that.

He then said to her," I am a son of a dragon dear lady, I am a half-dragon so you can say I am friends with dragons, all except evil ones, but I retired from evil dragon slaying for good, but they will remember me none the less". He did not go into to detail he did not know enough of this person to say that he had his reasons for slaying evil dragons. He had been the best at one time. Techniqually he still was the best no one could claim killing 340 evil dragons in 7 years. It was an unheard of feat yet he had done it.

HE then said," Indeed I might come watch you if I ever have the chance dear lady, but I rarely go into human cities they don't like my kind their, of course I can hide myself well enough, but if you sing during the play I will lose control and probably transform". He smiled in a joking manner at her, He then walked forward a bit and said," It would ruin the play no doubt, but I guess I could hide myself more carefully, I just need to learn the magic of invisibility". He laughed at himself for that he could himself without that and not be affected by her song. He knew ways of strengthining himself for such encounters. He then said," I am Arthur Paendrag Tanreall Warrior for Truth, Wielder of Excalibur, The Ex Evil Dragon Slayer it is a pleasure to see someone whose talent can make even my dragons heart sing".

Star furrowed her brow for a moment, if he was dragon, why slay his own kind evil none theless? But it was a question that shall have to lay unanswered she assumed. "I fear that being an entertainer is my only occupation and it shall alwayes be, but I shall always love it." She said leaving out the part that it was her kind, the rain fey that made the rain in all of arda.

Star laughed. "If you were to loose control, I would love it. It could show me your true side. Because from where I stand the truth isnt black and white. Here." Star handed him a ticket to her show that night, it was a play with colors to feed the eys and music to feed the soul. "Come, even if you must watch from outside come. I would be greatly honored. Arthur Paendrag Tanreall Warrior for Truth." Star curtsied after saying his name. "I am Star, an entertainer, a muse of dance and song. Why dont you come and play?" She said putting the ticket in his hand and closing his fingers over it.

Star giggled and ran out of the cathedral, her dress and long black locks following behind her.

------------------------------------------------

Star sat in her dressing room pinning diamonds to her black hair, her helper tieing her diamond studded corset and pinning the matching top hat to her black hair at a playful angel. She then slipped into the black silk skirt that matched and walked out of her dressing room in her costume, she loved this play because of the vibrant colors and costumes though most were slightly resque due to the fact that her character was a courtisan.
Act 1 Scene 1
Star stood in the middle of a set decorated to be a night club with bright reds, golds, blues, and every color of the rainbow, several male extras stood in tuxedo's waiting for the entrance of the courtisan Violetta.
Fast music started and Star ran to the middle of the stage and began her number singing of only caring about the material things in the world. It ended with her being hoisted in the air by all the other extra's before the curtain closing.

Star ran off stage because she wasnt in the following scene, So Star ran in to the back door and stepped into the cool night air, she stood against the back wall and took a few deep breaths, their she heard a voice she recognized, she smiled before opening her eyes though she regreted still being in her diamond studded corset and top hat. Their she saw Arthur, the man she had met while praying in the cathedral.

Arthur smiled and took the ticket and watched her leave. He then said to himself," Arthur you always manage to find the most interesting people. He left the cathedral and would wait till it was time. So during the day he gathered together his most brilliant clothes so that he could look nice at the play. Though he would be hidden in the darkness of the theater so no one could see him but he could see the play. He made sure the clothes he had one would allow him to transform since she seemed to want to see what he really looked like.

He would- show her and he could only hope she neither was nor frightened. He made sure the holes in the back of the shirt were thick enough and put on an elaborate coat and he began to wait in his room for the play.



When it was time Arthur got up and went toward the theater at exactly what the time was. He saw many people heading in that direction and he guessed it must have been very popular. Arthur was a bit of a performer himself that was why he had his instrument under his coat well hidden though it was. He knew he would look like a lord to some of the people there because of his clothes but in away he was a lord. A lord of dragons anyway but he would not give that away not in a human crowd. Even though some of the crowd was angels they would not be enough to help him.

He handed his ticket to the man at the door and he was let in with a my lord. He went up to one of the darker balconies and waited for it to begin. As it did Arthur was amazed at how well everyone did, he himself could do no better and he was trained by the best gleeman in Lomedor. HE then saw his friend and immediately he was entranced by her beauty and during her song he let himself go and he transformed into his draconic state. Though the people in the theater could not see it a 12 foot blue half-dragon was in their midst swinging along with the music humming g as if he knew the song.

After her part was over Arthur carefully left making sure no noticed his going. HE went around back and hid in the darkness of the alley behind the building. Then she came out for a breath and he said," Beautifully done dear lady, I must say even the performers guild in Lomedor could do no better, and I was trained there for a time". HE stepped into the light and his scales glitter. He knew he looked fearsome but he also looked stunning even in his clothes. He looked like a dragon human standing g on two legs and everything. HE smiled and said," You wished to see what I am, well I am Dar'Vaeg son of the skies, as well as Arthur, your wish was granted dear lady".


(My avatar is what I look like in Dragon form)

Star saw the dragon approach, his blue scales shone in the light like nothing she had ever seen. she wondred if they were rough or smooth, cold or hot, dry or moist. He was much taller and larger in this form, but somehow more majestic.
Star smiled. "Thank you, you seem very full of compliments. But by the end of the play you shall see that Violetta, the woman I play is nothing left but inuendo's. I'm glad you could come! Though I didnt see you, maybe in the highest balcony, the spot light is blinding. I like your dragon form, its breath taking." She said laying an elegent hand on a blue scale on his arm.

Star heard the director yelling for places to be taken, she hated to cut the eaving short, but she would see him after the play. "I'm sorry I must go, Their will be time to shake the actors hands after then soon the theater house will be closed and we can talk more then." Star ran back into the theater and into her dressing room. She changed into a strapless saphire blue dress that hugged her waist but flowed out touching the floor.

Star took her place and the play continued, Violetta soon met the peniless writer falling in love with him instead of the duke, they hid their love until they were soon discovered. The penniless writer came down with disease and she sang to him while he lay on his bed.

The crowd cheered, Star again changed into a very extravagent dress, black with see through waist, sleeves, and back. Diamonds spriknled the see through fabric, her hair lay curled over her shoulders. The final number came and the two lovers sang together with the whole cast, magic fireworks and flower pettals fell from the stage, until the main character Violetta fell to the ground, fake blood coming frorm her mouth, Violetta proclaimed her love for the writer before falling to the ground dead. This was stars favorite scene because of the dramatic emotions raised in the viewers. Several woman (though the play was mainly watched by men) cried, men sat stunned with a look of sadness of their faces before the curtain fell. Star and the others stood in the hall in a line waiting to be greeted by all the viewers, at the back of the line Star saw Arthur and winked at him before going back to shaking the hand of a crying woman.

Arthur watched her leave and detransformed himself going back to human form. He smiled and to himself," You always choose the right women for friends". He went back to the theater and to his balcony and waited for his friend to come up. He watched the rest of the play with interest and he was moved several times by its sheer brilliance. The actors and the songs made him feel more alive than he had felt in years. He felt like joining into sing himself. He resisted all temptation and let himself become one with the music letting it flow through him like a river.

Then she came on and it started again and everything changed for Arthur. HE watched her in her dress and if he had been entranced before he was again now. He knew now this was no human girl this was someone with magic enough magic to make a dragon beg anything of her. A dragon would take her and make her theirs forever. The dragon inside him roared when she started to sing. It wanted him to transform and take her up in his talons and head to the highest mountains where they would never bee found.

He resisted all temptation to do so and continued to watch the play and as it ended he stood up and called and shouted bravo and encore with the rest of the crowd. He then went down from his balcony and found his friend shaking hands with a weeping woman. She winked at him and Arthur flushed a little and he waited. Everyone was soon done and he approached his friend and said," You would make my friend Thom the gleeman cry in shame because he could not match you, and he is the best I have ever seen, besides you and an angel I once met". He looked at her beautiful dress and said," It suits you, you know, you would do well in Lomedor, you could retire in one day if you sang there". He smiled at her and then said." One thing keeps bothering me though, I am not sure if the others can tell , but no human without the aid of powerful magic could make the dragon inside me want to come out and sing, so either your not human or you are very powerful in the art of Dragon Song".

Star smiled, This dragon seems full of compliments, but not everything is what they seem. She thought to herself, she was always a suspicous person, willing to hurt someone before they hurt her.

"Thank you for being so polite, yes this dress I suppose is one of my favorites. It adds an air of mystery dont you think? Well anyway, I'll talk to you later, once everyone else had had a chance to say hello." Star curtsied before gently giving him a push to the next actor.

The line continued for some time, until finally the chandiler went off and the lights left the theater to be consumed again by darkness until day. Star came out of the back door the night snaping at her cheeks and nose, her skin nearly changed to its light blue that it held when she was in her normal fairy form.

In the distance she could see arthur stading in the shadows, she smiled and walked to him, pulling the hood of her saphire blue cloak back to reveal her face in the moonlight. "So, what do you want to do?"

Arthur went away after she had thanked him. He needed to think on some things. His head told him to procedd with caution and when it did he always listned. He had left Excalibur back in his roo mat the inn and so the onyl weapon he had on him was his dagger. Still Arthru was no less deadly. He didn't think there was any danger but somethign told him caution was best at the moment. BEsides one could never be to over cautious.

He waited outside for awhile looking at the people leave none paid attention to him. He liked it that way that way he would not have to talk to anyone. Soon his friend came out and he smiled when she let down her hood. He answered her saying," First introdutions, I nhever did catch your name and I think dear lady runs out soon".He smiled at her and then said," After that maybe you could accompany me for a drink, I know a good tavern in this city, the barkeep knows me there so we would be most welcome". That was true he had saved the tavern from beign burned years ago so the owner owed him.

HE then said," After that who knows, I say let the wind take charge and we will just be leaves till the night is done". He chuckled at that and held out his arm and said," Shall we".

Star laughed and took his arm in her gloved hands. They walked on and on, speaking of things very usual, like the weather, species of arda, and things that magic can posses. Yet her saphire eyes still wandered, into the sky, into the clouds, into the air.

Star had never had the company of a dragon before, and she found it enjoyable. Not at all what she would have expected a dragon to be, kind and gentle. Not feirce and cruel. But labeling people was always wrong, a big mistake and one was hardly ever right.

Soon the night was gone and it was late, probably past 3 in the morning. She had been gone from her kind for too long, they would get worried. The rain fey would get worried. Star laughed, she could see fey that others simply couldnt. Right now their was a dark fey walking along beside her dragon freind tapping his shoulder. But he would never notice, dark fey were always pure annoyance. But she was a rain fey, a weather fey.

Star stopped after what was a long night and smlied. "Thank you for entertainging me tonight, it was fun. I have never met a dragon before, but the next one I see I shall not judge harshly. Star, My name is star."

Arthur walked with the girkl for along time. THey talked of diffrent things he was glad to talk with someone. He rarely got the chance to do so and when he did he said alot. As the hours passed into early mornign Arthur felt the precense of things that he could not see. Had he been pure dragon he would have been able to see them but the feelign was enough to tell they weren't dangerous. HE then said," Your welcoem Star and you have me wrong, I am not full blooded dragon, my mother was a human, my father a dragon, I am a half-dragon".

He then smiled at somethign else she said and replied by saying," It is good that you will not judge my kind by their reputation, not all dragons are what we are said to be, we maybe creul and fercious at times, but some of us are kind, and we serve the light, we only do what we do to survive as any creature would, its the vil dragons that do it for pleasure, thats why good dragons are at war with evil dragons , one of the reasons I became a evil dragon slayer as well, but I stopped after I accomplished what I set out to do".

He smiled at her and felt something burshing on his arm that he could not see and he sighed to himself. He then said," You know its a perfect night for fey to be out, and I myself have not been out so late since the Summer Dragon gathering, its a good night to be out and about".

Star smiled. "I'm sorry I mis calculated. But you have dragon blood none the less. It was very nice to meet you thank you for the nice night. You have entertained me greatly. You are very nice gentleman. I hope you only have success in your futre ventures. And if so I would like to see you again in the near future." Star lifted her deep blue cloak and curtsied. Her black hair fell over her shoulders as she curtsied shining in the moonlight. She came back up to a standing position.

Star thought about how to say goodby beacuse she didnt know when she would see him next and he was incredibly nice to her. Star smirked playfully thinking of what exactly to do. "It is a very great night, so dance with me." She said playfully.

Star took his hand and put one of her hands on his shoulder. She was still in her dancing heels and preforming dress. She stood and smiled. "You lead, I'll help you if you need it." She said waiting.

Arthur smiuled and he nodded as she spoke. He liked her she coplimented him greatly and plus she seemed to want to see him again. The only ones that did that truly liked him or trusted him. There were few enough of those to know that he could mae firends if he wanted. He was not as all dragon as he seemed. He did have a touch of humanity left in him.

He then took her hand as she asked to dance. He rarely danced in any season but the summer. That was when he perforemd but he smield and said," Dear lady the only help I will need is that you try and keep up". He let go for a minute and unhooked his knife and produced a musical instrument and he said," You see Rain, you are not the only one that can perform". She was diffrent than him, she did acting, he was pure performer, he could do anythign in the performing arts. He had been trained by the best and he had soon become among the best of the best. HE laid down the instrument and said." THough I only am a performer durign the summer season, maybe one day when your in Lomedor during the summer you will see me perform".

He then took her hand and said." Tell me do you know the Dance of The Snake and Crane, if you don't its easy to learn, I first learned it from Barik, Guildmaster of The Performers Guild, its taught to make performers achieve balance, still it can be used as a regular dance if an eloguent one".
