So it begins...
Lunis realizes that Eowyn has fast ungrown her home and so he grins and decides to invite her to live with him just out side a human village near a huge manor. She agrees and they travel to his rather small home where they live for some time rather happily and undisturbed.
Suddenly the humans begin the hunt for... dragons. Knights they call themselves, each seeking glory and riches that can only be gained through slaughter. These Kinghts are murdering any dragons they can find. Most dragons who have fallen had been suprised or betrayed by humans who had co-existed peacfully along side them. One group of Knights after they finding that Eowyn's cave is empty are returning home... but they stumble upon Lunis and Eowyn's home along the way. They find Eowyn sunbathing in her true dragon form. She is many, many times their size and can breath fire but still they tread on attempting to sneak up on her. She hears a cough and jolts up. They attack, screaming some idioitc battle cry. Lunis hears Eowyn scream and rushes back, quickly jumping into the fray. In the end every one of the Knights lie dead and during the battle one had set their home ablaze. By the end of the battle the home was too far gone and unable to save. Knowing full well that more Knights will proabably come to look for these, and now having no where to live they flea their now burning home to a safe haven, the hattchery where she and many other dragons were born.
They reach the once warm and homey hattchery and find a devistating site, all of the eggs are smashed and the dragon gaurdians are slain and toothless. Those Knights took the teeth as proof of their conquest and left the rest of the bodies to rot. Enraged, she roars loudly. A castle lies near, a safe haven to the Kinghts who destroyed this one. But not for long...
Eowyn takes off in flight dragon rage burning in her angry eyes. She roars loudly as she circles the castle three times, each time she gets increasingly louder. After her third circile she shoots striaght up into the sky directly above the castle. She watches the people scream and flea to their homes... no place is safe in this once safe of haven. She howls once more before turning and darting down at the Knights upon the roof of the castle. She lands among them her claws gripping into the cold stone. Tiny arrows and meager blades do nothing to pierce her armored hide. Swinging her tail to and fro she clears the roof of the small annoyances and roars again once more, her roar reverberating deafiningly off of the mountains making it sound as if it had come from an entire clan rather than just one dragon.
Then she spots the king hiding in the corner and grinning turns and brings her head even with his. "It's a pity all of your dragon hunters are out questing...isn't it?" She mocks with a big toothy grin. The king only gasps and shakes. She stares into his empty eyes before raising her arm and rending him to pieces with one swift swipe.
Once again she takes off in flight hovering above the castle. She lets out a tundering roar and this time is answered by many others in return. All of the dragons still left in hiding near this castle have rallied after hearing Eowyn's anguished cries and come to her aid.
Out of the dark forests and grey mountains come many dragons in full rage. By now news of the hatchery's slaughter had reached all of them. They strike with vengance killing all in their path. Just as the innocent weren't spared at the hatchery no human is spared in the town or castle. All buildings too small for dragon entry are smashed and the towns streets are covered in thick crimson blood. When the sreams stop the dragon's gather the bodies upon the cliff. After all of the humans remains are all there the dragons push them off the edge into the roaring river below. Once the river runs crimson all of the dragons bellow a defening victory cry that shakes the entire valley.
Thunder strikes as if to answer their call and then the rain beingns to fall, washing away the blood of the humans from their safe haven.
At some point Lunis had joined the battle. Though being a cattish-human creature and not in the least bit reptilian in nature he fought for the innocence lost... he fought to revenge his dear Eowyn's kind. The battle over he seeks her through the large gathering of dragons. Many had seen him fight with them and though he has a somwhat humanish appearance, they respected him for his valiant efforts.
Finding her sitting upont the top of the castle above the rest of the dragons save one to which she was talking he waits as he gazes up at her. She spots him and has another dragon give him a lift up and there both Lunis and her speak candidly for a few moments. It is then that they turn towards the rest of the dragons.
Silence falls over the crowd and each reptilian eye watches intently. "A great injustice has been avenged today." Eowyn begins to nods and murmurs of approval. "However, this is but a small victory in a terrible war. These people are only a fraction of the many which seek to end the existance of our kind!" The crowd murmers a bit more excitedly. "We cannot win this hateful war devided! We must unite! Look now..." Eown points to the now risen moon which lights the gathering. "...we have fought through the day and now hold council under the silver diamond. By the light of the moon I say UNITE! Then we will be undefeatable!" The crowd erupts in roars of agreement. It is at this point that Lunis steps forward and speaks as loudly and evenly as he can.
"Dear dragons!" The roars lower then cease. "We shall form a mighty clan! Powerful, majestic, strong! We form our clan by the light of the moon therefore we shall be from now know as the Moondragon Clan!" The dragons look back and forth to eachother and low murmers of discussion whsiper through the crowd. Then in on booming roar in unision the announce their agreement. Lunis holds up the Nightshade blade and as it glitters in the moonlight he speaks again. "With this blade I pledge my honor to this clan!" The dragons seem mesmurized by the wonderous beauty of the blade for a brief moment then they roar exictedly.
Eowyn steps forward once more. "I pledge my honor to this clan!" She then touches her snout the the flat edge of the blade. Then she speaks once more "All those who will pledge their lives and honor to this Moondragon clan come forward and take your oath."
One by one each of the dragons come forward and pledge themselves to the clan. Each touching the flat edge of the blade with their snout as Eowyn did before walking away. Then finally the dragon comes and goes. Eowyn stands once more and bellows loudly.
"HONOR IS OUR BATTLE CRY! VENGENCE IS OUR FAITH!"
The rest of the clan repeats in unision."Honor is our battle cry! Vengence is our faith!"
It was in that moment that the powerful Moondragon Clan was formed. They claimed the castle as their own and rebuilt the town to fit dragons and smaller folk as well. The castle too was modified to accomadate the dragons of the clan and was then named Neko manor after the home lost to Lunis and Eowyn.
From a sordid lot of terrible events they rose. From the ashes of slalughter and bloodshed the reign. Only time will tell the outcome of this terrible war.
