Hey! Kim here, and this Storybook is going to be a tad different. Here's what's going on:

Dragons are slowly taking over the land of Candracar. The Gryphons and Pegasai are two of the only species left, and their numbers are rapidly decreasing. The pegasai are being eaten by the Dragons, and the Gryphons have a problem of territory. Not knowing what else to do, they team up, the Gryphons offering protection, and the Pegasai offering territory. However, it's not enough to stop the Dragons. Forced into war, the two species fly out and into the depths of the Lair in search of the Power Stone, and seeking to destroy it and the Dragon race.

Reserved Seats:
GrantBlayFur: The Gyryphon General
Thegirlwholived: The Gryphon Leader
allmixedup: The Pegasai Healer
forsakinshadow: The Pegasai Leader
Forestqueen808: ThePegasai General

NOW! We still have Gryphon and Pegasus Battle Leaders open, so first come first serve. Other members will be Pride Warriors for Gryphons and Herd Warriors for Pegasai. It's preferred that you all be adults, but if you ask nicely, I'll let you be a chick or a foal. I want no fighting in the beginning at all, just the discovery of the Dragon's plans and the team-up between Pegasai and Gryphons.

Rules:

1: Ask before killing someone. If you die, you're allowed to make another, just have the character be very different than the first.
2: Sex scenes allowed, but let's not have every little detail, please.
3: Standard YWS rules apply.
4: Cursing allowed, but please do not drop the F bomb on us.

Profiles:

Here's her basic features and what she looks like, just black with green eyes.

Name: Lilith

Age: 21 years

Species: Pegasus

Gender: Female

Rank: General

Appearence: Lilith is a black pegasus. When far away, her coat just looks black, but when you get closer, you can see it sort of shimmers like an oil spill. She bright blue eyes like the sky, but lighter than even that.



Personality: She is bubbly and laughs a lot. She is very friendly, and sometimes get distracted. Lilith can be serious when she wants to be, like when dragons come near or when she has to fight. But when she is off duty, she loves to be friendly and cheer everyone up with her sense of humor.

Secret: Lilith was abandoned when she was a baby, and was raised by a dragon until she wandered away and got lost until the herd found her.

Up for love?: Yep!!!

Name: Blaze

Age: 6

Species: Gypon

Rank: leader

Gender: Male

Personality: He will do anything to defend his loved ones, even if it means a fight. He always voices his opinion. But only at the right moment, besides that he's fairly quiet.

Secret: He secretly has a fear of Pegisai

Up for love?: Sorry, Fawns mate

Anyone special in mind for a mate? He only has eyes for Fawn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Name: Mystique (miss-tE-k?)

Species: Pegasus

Rank: Healer

Gender: female

Appearence:

Secret: She saw her brother get eaten by a dragon, she escaped, but the dragon said one day it will find her, it's haunted her dreams ever since

Up for love?: yup

Anyone special in mind for a mate? not yet

I'll take the Gryphon healer.

Name: Dew

Age: 4 Years

Species: Gryphon

Gender: Female

Rank: Gryphon Healer

Appearance: She has a white and black blend. Dew has a soft, innocent quality about her. http://netraptor.deviantart.com/art/Nesting-griffin-86169839?q=boost%3Apopular+griffin&qo=93

Personality: Dew loves to have fun, but she is very innocent about it. Dew can be naive at points. She's an old soul, though, and far more mature and experienced than her age would show. She hates violence with a strange sort of passion that not many of her pride completely understand.

Secret: When Dew was a just a chick, she had all of the makings of a fine warrior. But due to a mistake in judgement, Dew caused the death of two of her siblings (Clover and Flint). She lost a talon in the fight, and has a long scar near her wing joints. They begin to give her pain if Dew is too active, and stripped Dew of the chance to become a warrior. (If this is okay) Fawn helped Dew cover up her sister and brother's deaths. But Dew terrifies herself to this day with dreams of battle.

Up for love?: Yes

Anyone special in mind for a mate?: Not yet.


**I can create a boy character, if needed.

Alright! We need a few more people, so tell your friends!

This looks like it could be fun And we don't have enough animal storybooks on here xD

Name: Cronus

Age: 10 years

Species: Actually, he's a pegacorn ^^ A pegasus/unicorn

Gender: Male

Rank: Warrior

Appearance:
Personality: Cronus loves the rush he gets in the heat of battle and is one of the best warriors in the herd. Kind of quiet, Cronus tends to be reserved. His size can give others the wrong impression though, that he's mean, dumb, or aggressive. He is actually very witty, clever, and sly, and likes to come up with plots or play tricks. He loves a good joke and likes to laugh. He is very friendly, he's just quiet. Others often think he's always sad because of it, and because he goes off on his own a lot. Cronus feels in his "element" when he's alone, and is that way a lot of the time. He's kind of a stereotypical "gentle giant", except when he's in battle.

Secret: Cronus has a very dark past, and was brought up to be a killer until he came to this herd. He tries to hide any evidence of his background any time he can, and prefers being a 'gentle giant' over a 'ruthless killer'.

Up for love?: Sure

Anyone special in mind for a mate?: Nopers ^^

Age: 150 years (young)

Species: Dragon

Gender: Male

Rank: none

Personality: Glatorix was the son of the dragon King, but when he declared war on the gryphons/pegasuses, he ran away. Although he a fearsome warrior, he believes strongly in peace, loves more than anything to fly, and is very free spirited. He is currently on the run.

Secret: Glatorix is a silver dragon, which is the symbol of his royal blood, but he also received a special gift that most Dragons don't have. He can change into human form.

Up for love: Maybe

Appearance:

Looks like we can get started! Still accepting, guys!

Fawn

I sat on Tall Rock and looked around at my Pride. They had come so far since the Drought, and I smiled to myself. I watched as my mate, Blaze, came in through the entrance to our Home, bringing other Warriors behind him, prey filled in their beaks. He looked up at me, smiled, and headed back out with a border patrol. He was so hardworking, and I was proud to have him as my General. I climbed down and decided to give the chicks a visit. As I entered the cave we called the Nursery, the mothers all greeted me and I watched the chicks play.
"Hi, Fawn!" One greeted me with an excited flap of her wings. "Look at what I can do!" She then proceeded to perform a battle move commonly used among the Warriors. I nodded and showed her how to properly position her tail and wings. She then kept practicing as I left, and I examined the clearing. It was a rather grassy meadow with hills surrounding it. Sort of a ditch. We had a Prey Stack, and dens that were abandoned badger sets. The warriors slept in one, the chicks in the nursery, and Blaze and myself in another. The Healer had their own den, too. I heard a shrill squawk coming from the Entrance, and Dew, Ailia, and Blaze shot into Home.
"Dragons!" They all shouted. The Home exploded into questions. I pulled them into my den for a meeting urging them to tell me exactly what happened.

Blaze

I prodded up beside my Fawn. She turned to us, giving us the calm-down-shut-up-and-explain face.
"What happened?" She asked, I turned to the others. They nodded and let me explain. Of course, they let me explain.
"Dragons have been spotted advancing into our territory. They just took out another Pegasus." I said, with sorrow in every word. Poor animal didn't have a chance against the dragon scourge. We were running low on territory. She sighed and looked up to me.
"What are our options." I nuzzled her jaw with my beak.
"Not much we could do at this point. We... could go see the pegasai." I commented. They had more territory then they needed. Maybe they wouldn't mind sharing.

Name: Aria (She's not an evil dragon! She's a good one who's been away from the empire her whole life)

Age: 126

Species: Dragoness

Gender: Female

Rank: Nothing, a warrior if anything

Appearance: In dragon form, Aria is a slender, burning megenta serpent. She bears the marks of war, as well as the black tribal paint of her small villiage, far from the dragon empire. Her thick scales make her look bigger than she really is. She's a speedy flier, but due to her small size, cannot really hold her own against another dragon if her flying is limited. She relies solely on her speed rather than her strength. She's as wide as a gryphon, and as tall as a pegasus.



In her human form Aria is a very beautiful, young looking girl. She has pinkish-purple hair, sort of matching her scales, and metallic silver eyes. She's slim, and at often times, doesn't bother to get all fancy, and dresses like a man would, as she is around animals that not only aren't her species at all, but she hasn't any intrest in them. She's the tiny princess of her small dragon villiage of forest warriors, who rebelled against the dragon empire hundreds of years ago. Despite her human form, Aria cannot make her magenta wings disappear, and her horns, which are usually straight, curve and fit to her skull.



Personality: Aria's a pushover to put it simply. She's a spitfire little spirit, and actually a young dragon, but no matter what the favor, she usually gives in. She'll say no a thousand times, and in the end, do it anyway. She loves to fly and loves the feeling of freedom. She really doesn't like the war, but things have got to be done in order to stay free.

Secret: The fact she can change into a human isn't really a secret. She normally walks around the grounds of her villiage and the gryphon and pegasai territory in human form. I suppose her secret is that she's fully blind in her right eye.

Up for love?: I suppose

Anyone special in mind for a mate? Nopers(:

Other: Wears a heavy dragon armor if she doesn't feel like flying one day. She'll usually ride on Aro, and fight that way.



~~

Name: Aro

Age: 6

Species: Gryphon

Gender: Male

Rank: Warrior

Appearance:

Personality: Aro is very serious about his role in the war. He's right under the general, but he won't let that discourage him. The general deserves that spot more than Aro does, so he only sees it fit. Aro is really a gentle soul. He loves to laugh and be happy, and he doesn't get fired up that easily. In other words, it takes A LOT for Aro to get mad. He's sweet to all, except the dragons from the empire, and very trusting to those like him, against the empire.

Secret: (required) Secretely has a daughter;D He was a desperate and stupid gryphon when he was at the peak of his puberty, and thought he was in love with a she-gryphon, who died giving birth to his daughter, Ara.

Up for love?: Yess(:

Anyone special in mind for a mate? He really has his eyes on Dew, the healer (if this is alright) but won't approach her due to constant running around from Ara to his duties. A few months ago, while out with Ara on a very rare break day, he stumbled across a draconian encampment, and was ambushed. Luckily, Ara was unharmed, but Aro was given a very ghastly wound down his right side, practically tearing him apart. Dew happened to find him while searching for herbs once the dragons had left him there to die, and had him up and walking within minutes. He's admired her since, but won't say anything about it.

Other: His daughter Ara who looks like a tiny version of her mother

Aro~

"Swing around to the left! Do everything you can to help him!" Aro screeched, running off the ledge. Air rushed beneath his wings, and he rose up into the air, flying towards the mass of flying beasts. Gryphons, the pegasai, dragons, all caught up in an unorganized battle. He had to do something. Aro flew straight for the middle, where most of the flurry was taking place. A dragon's talons came within centimeter's of Aro's nose, and he barrel-rolled in mid-air to stay aflight.

First to see battle, more like first to die.

He thought maliciously, glowering at his target. The black dragon's head shot up after a pegasus, Aro taking his chance to ravage into the dragon's exposed, scale-less throat, tearing it out with a small struggle. The dragon's eyes glazed over, and his wings slowly stopped pumping, the black monster dive-bombing towards the rough sea.

The second he hit, the other dragons began to retreat. Flying slowly back to their side of land. One turned, and let out a rattling roar, the Pride Warriors returning with their cries of the small victory. "Sir, you should go tell Blaze and Fawn of the victory!" A small, but swift and agile gryphon called down to Aro, who simply nodded. A small victory. It was nothing, absolutely nothing compared to the war that still had to be fought, not to mention won.

With a sigh, Aro pumped his wings, and did a small back flip in the air, flying back towards the Home. He landed right at the entrance, folding his wings down. Some gryphons were scattered around, preparing for battle, or talking in hushed voices. Aro shook his feathery head out as he passed the nursery, able to hear Ara's voice from within. He continued to walk, however, and stopped outside the leader's cave, waiting for permission to enter and tell her and the general of the tiny win.

Well, better late than never, right?...

Name: Mennova

Age: 9

Species:Gryphon

Gender: Male

Rank: General

Appearence: Head is blood-red, and as you get farther down his body the red slowly fades away to white with an ever-so-slight red tinge at his rear. Eyes are orange, and his face and neck have numerous small scars from past battles.

Personality: Extremely cold except to those he deems 'worthy'. How he chooses who is and who isn't, only he knows. Not fond of children at ALL. The only emotion he ever shows is a semi-sarcastic, cool-tempered anger (think Dr. House from the tv show House ). Loves the thrill of battle more than life itself, which helped his promotion to General.

Secret: Still terribly saddened by the death of his mate years ago. Is immensly hateful towards anyone to bring her up.

Up for love?: No.

Anyone special in mind for a mate? Nope.

"You may come in." I called through the entrance to my den. "Yes, Aro?" I asked, my eyes drifting to the blood on his feathers.
"Fawn," He sat down to explain. "The dragons are gaining power. We had a battle this morning, and--" I interrupted him. "You fought? Without a battle patrol to back you up? Without even sending someone to get help and tell me you were going to risk even more warriors? You know we're running low," I growled. "You also know war is coming. We have no room for careless battles over borderlines. I've already sent someone to speak with the Pegasai Herd about teaming up. Were you not here when I made the announcement? I clearly stated for all of you not to do something like this." I shook my head in dissapointment and sat down in my nest.
"Fawn," He pressed. "If we didn't do something the Dragons would have come and destroyed Home!" I sighed and slowly stalked toward him.
"That does not mean you can take on these beasts with only two more warriors for backup. This is no time to play hero, Aro." I stared hard into his eyes. He shot me a sheepish-yet-furious glare and stalked out of the den.
