LionsandTrolls: Bonglu: cool name! Would you be okay with him/her being coppery-gold and Anton-ish, or really easy to ignite? I need to see where this goes! And if you want, choose a character! The ones now taken are at the bottom.
DeadGirl19: Puffarella. For a male. I could understand something like 'Puffles', or even 'Puffin', but Puffarella (very feminine) takes your madness to a whole new level! ;) I'll see what I can do! And thanks! :0 you have given me an idea for this story now. Which can happen very easily, because I have no plan. Seriously, whenever I update I literally just wrote it out with a random idea in my head. You could probably dictate what happens.
I shall bear... Bare... Baere the hint in mind. Hey- Skulduggery could get Gordon. Oh my word- if Gordon is burnt we could have a skeleton dragon!
I wasn't even going to do it to start off with and then… then I got hyper. From water. CHAPTEEERR!
Tanithsauraus Rex: first of, I love your name. It is amazing. Second, LOOK PEOPLE! THIS PERSON HERE REVIEWED AND NO STUPID I'M-GOING-TO-PRETEND-SHE-DIDN'T THING CAN STOP ME TELLING THE WORLD! ;) thanks for the review!
China Sorrows 400: coming right up! He's sort of going to be the father of the dragons, though... Should China and him have had a relationship before he was turned?
China Sorrows Worshipper: of course your dragon will be picked! He sounds amazing! I hope you like what I'm going to do with him.
berah cubecars: mwah. Ha. Ha. Ha. Haa. ;)
MehScrewIt: again: mwah. Ha. Ha. Haa. Glad it was making you happy! :p
Um, guys... I'm sorry for last chapter. I just thought of how hilarious it would be. It was amazing! :p
Please don't do it to me.
Disclaimer: I doubt that Derek Landy could be so mean as to do what I did to you so I don't own anything. Actually, he is that mean. Hmm. I'm just going to go and check my birth certificate. "MUM!"
Valkyrie may be insane at the moment, but she wasn't stupid. She knew what the ovals were. "Oh my gosh." She gasped, trailing her hand up Gordon's foreleg to rub at her eyes gently. Oh my gosh. Darquesse started trying to put bounds on their unstoppable joy. Midnight blue shimmering, white with speckled gold, copper-gold, white-blue dark blue spots, green-blue-silver, russet blending to black... Valkyrie stared in wonder as Darquesse listed the colour of the eggs. The eggs. The eggs. The shells which contained little baby dragons. That was when she started hyperventilating.
"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh," she muttered, falling to her knees and rocking herself- keeping a good view of the eggs.
Val didn't know how long she had been sitting there, rocking herself in ecstasy, but she knew that it had to be a long time because she know heard her favourite voice ever. It was so velvety, and Valkyrie l- "Valkyrie?" The voice interrupted her thoughts. "Where are you. If you died in sorrow because Gordon's dead, I'll kill you." Val sniffled in joyous tears. "I'm over here." Skulduggery stopped and stared. "Valkyrie Cain... You cannot be inside the dragon. It is impossible. I will not allow it." Val grinned in joy.
"Skulduggery!"
"Um." He responded, and Val heard the umnsurity in his voice. "If you got yourself stuck in a dragon I'm not talking to you." Valkyrie pouted.
"Why would you be as mean as to go and do that? Anyway, I'm not stuck in Gordon... I'm stuck on the other side of him. But I am so happy I am!" Val felt the rush of particles compensating for Skulduggery gathering some for him to launch himself over Gordon and reach her.
"Good. If you were stuck I would have to rescue you. Gladys is already traumatised enough." Valkyrie frowned- who was this Gladys? Then she released. "Hi Gladys!" She called to Skulduggery's favourite hat. "Was Lord Vile pretending you preferred him to Skulduggery again?"
Skulduggery landed beside her clutching his hat. "You know me very well." He stated. "I'm not sure I like it." Valkyrie gave a soft breath of laughter before pointing at the eggs. "Look," she murmured. "Aren't they wonderful?"
Skulduggery looked despairingly towards what his partner was pointing at to start with, but then he took a double take. Dragon eggs! He gazed at them in wonder. "So... They aren't as unusual after all." Val nodded wordlessly. "We have to take them back. Give them too... Too... The Dead Men! Tanith! Maybe even others." Skulduggery nodded. "First we have to get them up there, though. And our magic will not be enough. I'm calling China," he told her. Val sulked. "Oh no, don't sulk! You're too pretty to waste your face on such a despicable expression." Val looked at him coldly.
"Why so I get the feeling that your suaveness has not saved you from using the 'lowest form of wit'?" Skulduggery tilted his head at her. "I think we should go and try to get those dragon eggs now." Val skipped excitedly.
The eggs were in a massive burrow in the sand gathered around them, and they were radiating heat. They were also tiny, considering the size of Gordon. "Some are as big as my finger to elbow," Val observed. "Do you think they'll grow? Because some are the length of my forearm instead." Skulduggery looked at her.
"That made no sense. If you're my partner you must have at least a little eloquence around you." Val glared at him while trying to lift up an egg. "I have some. I just don't use it very often. I'm the beauty, you're the brains." Skulduggery nodded his head.
"I'm too clever to die and you're too pretty. That is what I said, isn't it." Val tried using a combination of her magic and muscle to lift an egg to no avail. "Skulduggery?" He was beside her in an instant, trying to lift the egg. It didn't work. "It seems that magic does not work on them because they live here and have the same characteristics of the other creatures, and it seems that my muscle is not enough to help lift the eggs." Valkyrie voiced the thought that Skulduggery would never say. "We need help."
China and her brother were having a tea party when the phone ringed. Bliss put a hand into his pocket and pulled out the first of many phones.
"Yes?" The voice on the other line talked rapidly. China couldn't hear it properly. "I do not know how you managed it. Fine, I will help. Send me your location- do you realise how lucky you are that your phones still work?" He hung up and got a beep that notified him of a message. Bliss looked up to find his sister staring at him with glacier-blue eyes. His own icy ones were annoyed. "Skulduggery and Valkyrie," she assumed. Bliss nodded once and stood up. China's phone didn't ring. Bliss took his folded jacket off the chair and put it on. No sound pierced the air. Bliss took a final drink of his tea then nodded at his sister. "Are you going to come and help, or stay here?" China smoothed her mint-green blouse down. "I am not going to come running. They will have to ask."
Bliss inclined his head and started towards the door. His footsteps echoed gently. Bliss paused at the door to open it. A shrill whine came from China's phone. "An annoying noise to remind me of how irritating those two are," she explained as she waited for the third ring. "Yes?" She answered. Valkyrie responded. "Very well. What I do for you. Location? Very good" she said as her phone made a creepy sci-fi noise. "I will be with you shortly. My brother as well. Yes, I will see you soon." China rose from her glass table elegantly. "They are so very bothersome."
Make up you dragons still, and whose characters they are, and if Skulduggery should be given Gordon.
Saracen, China, Bliss and Tanith are taken. And whomever LionsandTrolls wants.
