Wynne struggled to get himself back onto the Estreilioa's back, with the help of the chittering Epei. As he sat down, clutching the eagle's feathers, he saw something fly towards him. He reached out a hand and grasped it, his dagger. It was glowing; almost time to return the orb. Down! Go to the cave! He directed to Estrei through his mind, and she followed without hesitation. She landed gracefully, let him off, and waited. "Go, Estreilioa! Thank you!" He shouted above the sounds of battle. He looked up and saw Alkia. He nodded, and ran into the cave, following Lark.

Larkekio, once inside the cave, changed his form back into human. He looked around. Alkia seemed to be taking care of Wynne, so he had nothing to lose. With the Mountain Elf, his arch enemy, gone; Lark could return the orb to the dragon keep. "STOP!" He spun around. Wynne was standing in the mouth of the cave, panting and with a glowing dagger in his right hand. Lark shook his head. "She let you go? I guess I will have to deal with her later..." He trailed off, but saw Wynne had just ... disappeared. He started walking again, but felt the knife on his neck. "I can't do this alone." Whispered Wynne. "I need you alive, so don't do anything stupid." He shoved Lark forward, losing his grip for a moment, and in that quick second, Lark had drawn his sword.

Do I have to kill them both? Alkia though jumping from the cliff to a few feet from the cave mouth. Taking aim at Wynne as he put his dagger to Lark's neck. Sge sent a blast of ice needles at Wynne. It hit his shoulder and thhe arm holding to dagger.

Wynne grunted in pain, but would not fall. He turned around and his heart fell. He scowled at Alkia. "You..." He hissed, turning his attention back to Lark. He put his dagger in its pouch. "Lark, we have to do this together." Lark grimaced. "Do what, pretty boy?" He asked, a vicious smile on his face. Wynne shrugged. "We have to destroy the orb, before the dragons get it. If they do, all of our world will be one of horror." He tried to keep his voice from cracking. Lark squinted.
"How do I know that you are not trying to get it for yourself?" he asked, looking over Wynne's tall shoulder to see Alkia. He shook his head. "I'm sorry Wynne, I can't do that." He said sticking his sword back int its sheath. He walked past Wynne, knocking into his shoulder. Wynne reach out and grabbed Lark's arm, desperation in his voice. "Lark, this is no lie. We NEED to do this." His voice was growing stronger. Something crashed into the cave mouth. Wynne's eyes widened in horror. It was the biggest dragon he had ever seen, with horns the size of large spears. Wynne pulled Lark with him deeper into the cave. "Estreilioa!" His mind shouted. Suddenly the dragon let out an ear splitting scream, and thundered after them. He heard its claws scrape the ground.

Lark nodded at Wynne and took out the orb and threw in into the air, where it stayed suspended. Lark took a wary step back as did Wynne. They both let loose a blast of power from their hands and the orb soaked it up, getting weaker, Wynne could feel. The dragon's hot breath was now noticeable, the stench horrible as they worked.

Alkia cursed underher breath. Her eyes widend at the sight of such powerful magic. She sent a blast of magic at the dragon, yet it missed the orb was so powerful it had it's own gravity to magic. The water spell swirled and became a creepy mist. Great, just great. she though to herself.

Wynne grunted as his power was now being drawn from his body, the dragon lumbering closer. It was now only ten yards away. Wynne concentrated all his force on the orb, which was glowing so brightly, that you could look at it. The dragon was five yards away. Four... Three... Two... "AAAACHHHH!" A hoard of huge eagles rushed into the cave, slamming into the oncoming dragon. The dragon fell over grunting in pain, but managed to stand up. The orb was so bright, it dissolved the mist in a flash, and the eagles continued to slash and tear the dragon, which was roaring in pain and frustration. Wynne and Lark were so close... "BOOM!!" The orb exploded in a flash of light and colors. Wynne doubled over in pain the light had caused his eyes. He heard the dragon scream loudly and looked over and it was gone. Lark was also on the ground, screaming and clutching his eyes.

Alkia almost instantly pulled Wynne and Lark to saftey. The dragon left enraged after it's wing and been scorched by a fire related spell. She put her hands to Lark's chest and began a semi-strong healing spell. Considering she was a Cleric and not a mage she could do it longer and stronger than most.
She held her grip for a moment longer and ended the spell before turning to Wynne. She could tell he could be blindd, one of her hands was on his chest, another over his eyes. This spell was stronger and lasted longer. There waas only so much she could do.

Jesse put one arm around Lark, covering one hand over her eyes. She didn't have it as bad as him and Wynne, but her eyes still hurt.Once her eyes were better, she glanced to Alkia. She had betrayed them earlier, but that didn't matter now. She wrapped both of her arms around Lark, watching the eagles fight off the dragon. Soon though, the dragon would break through and hopefuly go away now that the orb was gone.

((A recepy for this part of the RP; four different people, three allinaces, two relationships, one dragon.))

Alkia removed her hands and stood to fave to dragon. She sent a blast of fire at the dragon, scorching it's other wing. It let out a roar of rage and left, eagles still following.
About five Minutes later Alkia was at the cave mouth, the storm had cleared and the stars were twinkling. He mace was at her side, a light wind came in from the east . She hummed to herself wondering about the others and what they were thinking.

Larkekio only felt a searing pain in his eyes, but deep inside, no place seen by human eyes; he felt peace and warmth. Eyes open, but no sight, he held still as Alkia healed him. The warmth of her hands seeped deep into him, as if a hunger-crazy wolf. He blinked, and felt familiar hands around his body; Jesse. He had almost forgotten about her, but now he felt safe. He glanced over at Wynne and nodded, knowing fully that neither of them could ever truly be friends; but they each had a grudging respect for each other. Lark wwrapped his strong (now weak) arms around Jesse and sobbed silently against her dashing blond hair. "Oh, Jesse. It's over now..." He whispered quietly, turning her face to him, kissing her tender lips gently. "I love you..." He whispered huskily.

Wynne sank back onto the cold cave floor, his eyes without sight. He groaned from the power that Alkia was placing into his body. His chest ached from her force, and as he blinked a few times, sight returning; stared at Alkia. "Who are you, Alkia? I don't know you anymore..." It was rhetorical, of course he knew who she was, but he was desperately confused. "First you try to kill me, and now your helping me..." He trailed off, as she walked away.

[Popcorns]

"Lark..." Jesse said softly. She let the tears fall now as she burried her head into his shoulder." I love you too." Her voice was still soft. She was glad that this was over, but she wa still to shocked about everything. Her arms tightened around him, making sure he was still there.
