Deep within the nicer, more privileged neighborhoods, a wall ran alongside a thin cobblestone road, draped in flowers and vines. It was here that a wrought iron gate, labeled only as Number Five, led to a cobblestone pathway that meandered through lush gardens and up to a large, pristine white mansion.

The Taxman arrived. A quiet, hovering sort of presence, he was sparse of words and would accept a few different things.
Everyone had to present to him some form of documentation if the occupants of the home had changed since his last rounds. All persons supported by any one address had to be accounted for.
Everyone also had to pay taxes. Coin could be paid in person or by chest, or a bank note could be left instead, providing access to deduct taxes from a bank account.
He'd arrive at the gate.

Dantess came to the gates, as per usual. He presented his bank note with a smile. "Ah, good to see you! Here you go!" He would, as usual, try to engage the taxman a little in small talk. It never worked. When their brief transaction was finished, he went back inside. __________________________________

It was a fine, sunny afternoon. The Visconti residence had prepared one day, some time after the battle of the Usque, to play host to an evening dinner and party. Fine musicians offered their ambiance to a growing number of guests who entered the wrought iron gates past two guards who had been hired to keep watch over the reception, and white clothed tables had been set out in the lush gardens of the spacious front property. Inside, within the mansion's most luxurious dining room, an elegant table had been set for a formal dinner with several distinguishable guests, neither of whom had arrived yet.
The dinner was scheduled to begin soon.

Three large golden horses with white fluffs of longer hair to outline the golden body came striding up to the gates of Number Five, Weston Lane. Two men were dressed in crimson red suits with a white button up shirt underneath that hid then Runed bodies. On their heads were crimson and black turbans that had a large Ruby on it that was etched with the symbol for Phoenix State Royal Force. Both carried golden and red glaves made from the finest of metals. On the handle, right before the blade, one could see Brock the Forgemaster's marking.
The horses bore an ancient symbol from their dialect that very few knew. It had a subtle prestige about it; not enough to strike excessive interest, only the interest of the right ones. With this was a few satchels with various supplies for travel, arrows, a short bow, and a long bow. These two men were elite warriors that received training from the Shiniga before the collapse of Shiniga.
The main man, Promiethius was suited in a crimson red and gold pinstripe suit, black button up shirt, and a gold tie. His hair was not covered, allowing his long fiery red hair to blow in the breeze. His Blue Zircon colered eyes glistened in the sunlight being cast down from above. He would stand just over six feet in height and weighed about 260 pounds that was made up of muscle.
When they reached the gate, Promiethius lept down from his steed. Once settled, he grabbed a long handed sword(Oakeshott XII with an additional three inches on the hilt for possible two handed use.) The two other men lept down, placed their main weapon on their horse, and one took Promiethius's weapon and the other his shield. The two were not unarmed, they still had their little weapons hidden in their outfits if there was any surprises.
Promiethius stood in front of his two men at the gate. He would push the gate open and the group of three would make their way up to the door of the home. Promiethius would take his right hand and knock on the door. He had been invited to this home and has never been in the lands, much less someones home here. Despite their calm and proud statures, they were still very cautious, especially with the anti-magic wards at the gates and the thing watching over the city.

Jill arrived as well, having made the journey from her home at Castle Ordale to attend the dinner at Dantess' place. She enjoyed access to a very guarded teleportation system that had been created for key areas of Goraia, one node to which was present in her castle. She therefore enjoyed the luxury of spending up until the very last minute getting ready. She arrived unarmed and behind the procession of Promiethius. She knew that he was a foreign general who was scheduled to duel with Dantess, though that was to take place the next day, after the dinner party. Not too used to large social events, she stayed distant at first, entering when it was her turn and immediately seeking out the appetizers.

Keizhi waited for Jarkoopi, who she knew was supposed to have a human form. She was unsure what to expect, as she had gone ahead a little bit early. She arrived in a frilly white dress and sat patiently in the garden by her lonesome, nibbling on an apple slice from the appetizer trays.

In the garden was Levanius Curio, looking sharp as always. He had arrived early to help the setup, and now mosied through the reception greeting with other nobles. As a government official, he always found he had a lot of questions to answer anywhere he went, and here was no different. He was armed only ceremonially, smallsword at his side.

(Oh, not to worry! Bring ye enchantments and magical trinkets--anti-magic fields are illegal in Stonevale except under strict military orders!)
Dantess himself stepped down the spiral staircase, his short and spiked raven hair matching the blackness of his immaculate tuxedo, crimson bowtie only very slightly askew and boldly shattering the persistent greyscale of his formal dinner attire. He wore no sword this evening, even despite the growing rumors of an upcoming duel with a foreign general scheduled for the following morning... this particular evening was one of appropriate restraint, devoid of competition and rife with fun and frivolity. The finest wines were already making their rounds among the crowd, and there was much to be done as a proper host to a formal dinner. Dantess began to greet each of his guests in turn, intermingling with the crowd until he slowly made his way over to Levanius.
"Ah, good to see you! I'm glad to see you made it to the reception."

Eye color: Yellowish-White
Scale color: Light Blue, reflects a dull White in direct light
Dragon Species: European Dragon
Dragon Type: Chromatic
Dragon Color: Blue
http://i.imgur.com/Ba7kzgX.jpg
As a storm dragon, his hide and flesh can generate an electric charge passively when threatened, much like an eel, and can naturally and instantly release it upon being touched by a foreign organism or object.
As a human he takes the appearance of a man in the age range of forties to fifties, averagely built besides being a few inches taller than the average Joe and dressed in clean leather armor and worn blue cloths.
Clothes and Equipment: Two small leather pouches tucked under wings
He owns his father's ancestral unique magical scale mail. It is enchanted to break on impact and the shards return his body and reform into a different piece of armor until it is struck, then it repeats the steps.
A set of personal shoulder pads forged by Brock the forge master. It focuses the passive electricity in his hide into a beam of magic energy which blasts away targets.
Weaponry: Claws, Breath Attack (Lightning), and Bite
Treasure Hoarding: Minimal, mainly gems sometimes gold.
While as a human, he wields a magical long-sword, not much is known about his weapon, as he rarely uses it.

The Storm dragon descended from the skies over the building, slowly shrinking in size until his wings were gone. He was only 10 or so feet above the ground when he began to fall, he landed quite harshly, but completely unharmed. He stood up and dusted himself off, the clothes he had were certainly not most expensive finery, but for one who is not commonly found as a human, it was better than most his other attire. He proceeded inside, looking among the guests for Keizhi first but also looking for Dantess Visconti, the host of this evening's dinner.

"Indeed... the paperwork was filed quickly enough. I trust your leave has gone well?" Levanius, by the time Dantess had reached him, had retired for a moment's break by a low wall in the garden, puffing on an old wooden pipe.

Keizhi was in the garden, sitting by her lonesome by a pearlescent fountain of marble. She was closer to the property's gate than the mansion itself, as she hoped to make herself readily identifiable to Jarkoopi as soon as he was let in. She, however, did not know what to expect--never before had she seen the human form of her new dragon companion...the very notion of such a shape-shift was very strange to her and she was the slightest bit nervous.

As you're aware... the duel," he said, as though it were a matter of some secrecy, and that not all were yet privy to the rumor that nevertheless was still circulating around. "I hope it will solidify the relations between nations."

"Yes, yes of course. I believe that it will, regardless of the outcome," he said confidently, again puffing on his pipe. He looked around. He noticed Jill, as well as Keizhi. "It seems you have some..distinguishable guests here this evening. Even Jill... they say she's a little bit unstable and can be extremely dangerous." He smiled.

"I'm sure we'll all be just fine," he replies with an amicable smile. "In fact... I should go say hello! If you'll excuse me, Chancellor.." He bowed, as was formal and customary given Levanius' station over his, and went over to Jill who was presumably enjoying the snacks somewhere.
"Ah Jill, at last, we finally meet in person." If she arrived in that spidery black dress, curled pigtails, and heavy makeup that was typical of her image, she'd be easy to recognize.

Besides, I have an unlimited set of forms, ranging on all sizes and types." Quietly he finished his statement, "A dragon who is a master of illusion must keep his skills sharp."

Promieithius would turn to his guards and speak softly, "Do either of you know any of these people?"
The guards would shake their heads in a 'No'.
"Okay then. Just play it cool, eat some food, and do your job. I'm not very good at these things..." Promiethius spoke.
The group would hang out by themselves by a bush beside the front door to the home. If they were greeted, they'd speak; and if not, they would just spectate. When everyone went inside, he would follow.

Since their bond made it much easier to find eachother Jarkoopi, Kepesk Altiui would eventually find way to Keizhi 's side within the Manor's garden. Ah, there you are.Jarkoopi, Kepesk Altiui 's appearance was that of a man in the age range of forties to fifties, averagely built besides being a few inches taller than the average Joe. He wore nothing significant designating his title, for if one wished to see his power, they would be met with a tall blue dragon.

He awkwardly winked, as if it was unnatural. (Which it was.) "...Jarkoopi? Is it you?" Keizhi looked with slight disbelief. While she knew she'd be surprised by any human manifestation of the dragon, it didn't prepare her in the slightest. Yet she felt his life energy and knew for certain it was him, her inquiry largely rhetorical.
"Very well then... I'll follow you." She stood up, lifting the hem of her elegant white dress to keep it from dragging, and would follow him towards the front doors.
