He slides back down, wings still ablaze. ''Ok,now what?''

"This."
She removed a vial with a strange green liquid within, drake's blood ((not the same as dragon's blood)).
She stepped to the middle of the star, to the blood star within, and dripped three drops in it's center, whispering in an ancient language. The scroll began to glow faintly as genet rushed out. Then the scroll caught fire, it's tongues reaching almost to the gears above. A moment passed, and as the fire hit the blood within it is turned a strange pink, the tongues lowered. Suddenly the tongues dropped, disappearing, and were replaced by smoke. The smoke swirled then twisted to the broken gear. A flash and the smoke settled as normal smoke does. Genet couphed, waving her hands.
"I hate that part"
The smoke desipated, rising to some opening above, and behind it the gear was like new, only a thin line showing it ever was broken.

Another hour sounds, and the gears start turn even more. The giant gear rolls lazily as the hourglas start to turn onto its side completly, sand rushing quickly.

Genet let out a sigh of relief.
"that was too close for comfort"

The hourglass soon was upside down, the sand flowing slowly once more. ''Now we jus need to find that key.''

"I'd say it was that hourglass but it's a bit big to be a key"

''Maybe the key is somewhere around the hourglass itself.''

"Either way, we won't find it till we look"

(big storm is here. dunno when it ends)


He nods, and heads to the upsiode=down hourglass.

(sorry for the late reply, things have been crazy in more ways then I can count here but it's settled now)
Genet followed him tracing her hand on the clear glass, dust lifting off of the glass. She stopped and kneeled, examining symbols etched into the stone in a strange sphere with the hourglass at the center.
"hey did you see this?"

(it's alright. i know some of my friends might be having troubles)

Dark leans down, and squints. ''I never did see that. What is it?'

"Looks like a rune circle, as if some setup a spell but didn't finish it. It's pretty elaborate, I can't tell what it's for but it needs a lot of sacrifice, probably not an entire life but quite a lot of rare blood"

''I don't think my blood is rare. This rune circle looks pretty old, you know.''

((I just have to say it: "IT'S SO FLUFFY!!!!!")

"Yeah, extremely so, probably even requires multiple kind of blood, you don't have those anymore other then for security. I have a good sized collection of the stuff if only I can figure out the extract types of blood"

(saw Darks fluffy form? )

''I wonder if its has they key we need.''

((yeah, I want to hug it! I'd make Genet do it but then she would complain lol))

"If so then the king would probably leave some kind of clue, it wasn't unusual to put unneeded images among the runes or somewhere nearby. Help me look."
Genet began to circle the runes, looking for anything unusual in the markings.

Dark begans to look as well, back in his usual dragon form. Though spots of black fur was seen admist his scales.

Genet whistled in awe.
I'll never get used to that
"You have to admit, there are some Percs to being you"

''Yes, I know what I am is greatly amusing due to genectical ways of being able to change forms at any given moment. My sister, though, has a trait that has caused her build to be unstable due to her being the opposite of me....''

"What do you mean by the opposite of your?"
