wings, Stormy, Toothless, Meatlug, Hooky, Barf and Belch, the riders, the hunter and the cats had just left for their vacation as Skullcrusher, Stoick, Gobber and I watched while their silhouettes faded into the distance. Letting out a long sigh, I quickly glanced over to Stoick, Gobber, and Skullcrusher who were all starting to unpack for their temporary stay, before walking towards the nesto. I didn't particularly want to be around the three of them much right now, especially without at least one of the cats to translate, plus I had a lot of work to do on the nesto on top of having to finish the dragon's little gifts and some other projects here and there. Pushing past some trees that held small bands of silk stuck to them, I eventually arrived at my workshop. Taking a deep breath in, I took a moment to look around and relax as the scent of old worn metal drifted through the air. I had woven a large silken dome that wrapped around the clearing and the side of the cliff with some help from the riders, dragons and wings. Originally it had just been to protect the nesto from rain and snow but, whenever they would come over, we usually ended up adding something to it weather that was fortifying it with a wooden support system, making an area for spare scrap metal, or a relaxation area. It was nice. Snapping myself out of my small bout of nostalgia, I pressed further into the dome, the Nesto was laying down in the center, disassembled for easy repair. Walking over to one of the nesto's front legs, I examined it for any rust, or wear and unfortunately, found that the majority of the foot was rusted, with some rust stretching all throughout the legs. Looking at the body of the nesto I found countless orangy-red splotches dotting the nesto... it would all need to be completely replaced, or those spots could become weak points in the future.........

Ama / webs : "Gog damit! *sigh* ...oh well, better get to work."

At that, I quickly ripped a large, rusted panel off of the nesto and chucked it to the side before doing the same with another, and another, and another...

Ama / Webs : "this... is going to take a while......"

*timeskip*

After spending the better part of the day removing all the rusted parts and plating on the nesto, I was able to repair most of it. Unfortunately, the back and right leg of the nesto had some large holes i couldn't fix because I ran out of metal, but it's not like I won't be able to get more from the riders. taking a few steps back from the Nesto, i looked at the repairs i had made with a tinge of disappointment... The metal the riders gave me was good and worked nicely as a patch but... it's not as strong as monster hunter metal, if i could get my forearms on some dragonite ore or some Eltalite ore, I could fortify the nesto...... and the edge i suppose...

Ama / webs : just have to roll with the punch-

Before I could finish speaking, I felt a large amount of bio energy heading towards the edge. Walking over to the exit of my workshop, I scanned the horizon for any sign of whatever was making the bio energy. Unfortunately, I saw nothing... save for an odd, purple tinged mist that was beginning to form around the beach in long, wispy clouds that stretched up onto the cliffside, drawing ever closer to the top.

Ama / webs : "i should go check on the others..."

Quickly exiting my workshop, I ran through the forest, dodging trees and flattening bushes when a low hissing sound caught my attention. Before I could react to it I was suddenly thrown through a tree, making an explosion of splinters and leaves as I hit the ground, eventually rolling to a stop after a few moments. Getting up with a pained groan and shaking myself off, I glanced around, trying to find what just attacked me, before my eyes eventually landed on a purple scaled dragon who looked to be more scar tissue than scale with reddish purple, bloodshot eyes...
