THE GRAND ARCHMAGE heard Croner and mindspoke back. "I shall come see about it," he said. He walked away from the cave and came to join Croner. He nodded approvingly after checking the stability of the mine. "Yes, my friend, this will suit our guests well," he said. He walked inside, brightening the light of the oil lamp he carried. His footsteps echoed on the earth-and-stone floor. Further down, water dripped from a crack in the ceiling. He shook his head and repaired it, thinking the riding dragons would not enjoy having the annoying sound interrupt their sleep.

Analyse turned around at the sound of Cassia's voice. She growled again, still in a sour mood. "That would be unwise. We wouldn't survive," she said. "Like you, I wish nothing more than to destroy that horrible monstrosity, but the Archmage and Morgan Le Faye are the only ones who know how to kill him, and at present, I would not like to meet Morgan Le Faye. That would not end well at all." Anna hissed and resumed her vigil.

Hawk growled to himself, fuming. The scoundrel of a "Knight" was bowing to someone....Morgana Le Faye. He snarled again, despite himself. "Kiedan, Morgana Le Faye is down there....." He warned Kiedan as he caught up. "We need to get out of here....fast!" He sighed, much though he wanted to swoop down there and end the lives of both those miserable creeps, he knew better. He would only die, and then the small chance of the sea-dragon race continuing would die. He struggled to forget the memories, chocking on the back of his throat slightly, as he waited for Shadow.

Suri laughed at Lunaris' comment, since he'd once wondered what life would have been like had he have been a fire dragon. He yawned, before turning to Lunaris. "You asked why I was sad?" He checked, before continuing - "I uh, never knew my family...They abandoned me as a hatchling, I grew up alone, so Devin's sweep wouldn't hit me directly, but..." He broke of for a moment, before continuing again - "I was really close to finding them, but Devim killed them. Literally as I flew in" He finished off simply, wondering what she would think. As he did, he looked over to Anna. He was worried for her, and while he'd never tell her that, he did give her an eye-over, just to make sure....

Aer could feel the wind on her face as she held onto the rock face for dear life. Sure, she had wings, but falling into a pine tree really wasn't looking up. She was stuck. The great, mighty, Aer Luce Bellator, Riding Dragon, Female, And a good 53 years old.....was stuck. She couldn't open out her wings to fly, because she'd crash into the trees. And crawling up the rock face looked hard. But hey, what choice did she have? And it looked like a cave up there, probably a dragons. Which was always good. She smiled and started to pull herself up. A while later, she had pulled herself high enough to fly upwards into the gloomy cave. Spotting a greater dragon, she approached, slightly cautious, and asked; "Umm....Hi?"

Blodige was bored. There was nothing else to it really. He was bored, lonely, and worried. He'd just missed seeing Devin, was bored because there was nothing to do, and really wanted to get to the Archmage already. He flapped, and flapped, and kept on flying, but he just couldn't get there. And that sucked. He ran his eyes over the valley below, searching for signs of life....none that he could see, yet.

Nᴏᴛᴇs
If anyone wants to bump into Blodige, it would be appreciated!

ANNA FELT EYES ON HER and turned to face Suri. She forced herself to change her scale color from red to blue, but it changed back again due to her mood. Even her usually bright violet eyes were as dark as night. She watched him for a moment, wondering if he had something to say. I wish I could tear Devin to shreds... she thought. Anger boiled in her veins and steam blew from her nostrils. If she could keep her emotions in check, that would be nice, but unfortunately, she was too mad to care. She flew to roost in a scraggly bush that barely hung on to the mountainside.

KIEDAN GROWLED at Hawk's words and flew north faster. He glared at the ground, and at that moment, he hated everything. He hated the trees, the grass, the air, and he especially hated that scum that called itself Sir Devin. "Curse that witch," he said. "The foul sorceress should just return to her cave and never come back." This was one of the times he wished he'd been blessed with fire breath. I could scorch my enemies with impunity, he thought to himself. He realized the folly of his ways and then thanked the Maker that he had not been given fire breath. If I had, most of this valley would be ashes now, he thought. I've been angry enough that I could have burned down an entire forest before. Yes, these people are indeed lucky that I am not a fire dragon.

•••••••

After a few minutes, Kiedan had flown over a ridge and escaped the valley. He was in a much better mood now, and he stared down at the scenery below, wishing he could memorize it.

Candra turned around at the sound of a voice. When she saw a female riding dragon, she almost fainted. She gained control of herself and said, "Hello. What is your name?" She laid down and waited for an answer.

[Sorry for the short posts...I have writer's block. D:]

[lynettetan1]

Erza nodded, spreading her wings and taking off into the air. She headed towards where the others were, and flew quickly, but waited for Svarog.

[-Starchild.Keith-]

~Svarog~

Svarog followed behind Ezra, flying in a few loops and swirls. He looked around to see if there were any other dragons in the skies around. He also listened for disatant roars.

~Lunaris~

Lunaris looked around, seeing where the rest of the group was. She caught sight of the two spiked dragons and once again felt a pang of jealousy. She just shook her head and sighed. "Shall we go?"

[lynettetan1]

Ezra landed next Lunaris, seeing the flash of jealousy in the other female's eyes. She almost let out a sigh of exasperation. She didnt really care either way, what happened in the dragon world was barely affecting her as it had never affected her all those years. She gave a look around, eyes tracking all the different dragons. "So, is everyone here?" She asked gently.

[Princess Porcelain]

[I'm out of muse....D:]

[SilverDoe]

+Croner Septa Ler+
Croner nodded. "Yes, it should do well indeed. I've documented everything so that if they break anything I'll still have notes and drawings of it." He took out his extensive collection of notes and showed them to the Archmage. "Perhaps we should head back soon, as it seems to be getting dark. I guess we've found a place for all the dragons now," he added gloomily. Two of every species of dragon, save his own. He was not the sort to look back with regret any more than was neccesary, since he couldn't change anything anyways and would only bring unneccesary pain, but right then he couldn't help it. He was alone. Sure, he had the Archmage, and soon there would be other dragons there too, but none of them were mountain dragons.

The air felt cooler as he stepped outside into the breeze, and fresher too somehow. He sighed. I'll just have to do everything I can to make sure none of the other dragons end up alone. Once they get here, I will help defend them at all costs. There's not much else I can do now anyways. It's not as if I can go back in time. The beach suddenly seemed lonesome and abandoned and he wanted to leave. He did not know how much longer he could stand it.

Shadow flew besides Kiedan and Hawk, allowing his rage to spur him on. He would not be caught and killed before he could reach the Archmage, no matter what. Without thinking he turned red, and a jet of fire lit the air for a moment. Then he realised that would draw attention to them and froze. Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid, he berated himself angrily. If he - they, Morgana is with him too you idiot! - catch us I won't just have killed myself I'd have killed Kiedan and Hawk too! How could you be so careless? Idiot! You have to learn control!

He turned to the other two. "Get down and move away. Towards the beach - we'll be harder to reach if we fly over the water. I'm sorry I'm such an idiot. It won't happen again, I promise." He hated admiting a mistake but realised now was not a time for foolish pride. If I've killed us all...

. . .Cassia Alla Moore. . .

Cassia didn't answer Erza's question because she was distracted. She watched the waves lap around the cliffs, sending sea spray everywhere. It should have been a comforting sight, but it was only lonesome because she knew those waves were empty of her kind. And they might be the last thing she ever saw. Not if I have aything to say about it! For a moment she saw pure red, but then she forced herself to take a deep breath and calm down. Blind fury would get her nowhere. She needed to think straight. She hated him. God, how she hated him! And her... that witch... I won't give them the satisfaction of killing me, and that means I have to be calm about this. In half a second she was fully in control again. She continued to study the rythmatic motion of the waves. If I am the last of my kind, then when I die there will be no more sea dragons. I have no hope of continuing my race. I live just for vengeance. She studied the other dragons in her group. They still do have hope, though. And they all have a friendship with each other of some degree. If I am killed, I won't be missed. If one of them is killed...

She studied Erza, who had saved her life and who had just recently found another of her species. I owe her one. Before she would have hated the thought of owing another dragon, but now she had a chance to repay that dept. She looked at Svarog who had just been reunited with Erza and discovered that he was not the last. She looked at Lunaris and thought of how close she had become to Anna. And Anna, who had offered her help even though she had been snappish and rude, Anna who had shown her friendship... Suri who had also devoloped a bond with the others... Surely killing them would be a greater victory to Devin than killing her. And, she suddenly realised, she didn't want them to die not only because she didn't want to give Devin that victory but also because... she just didn't want them to die. It was an awkward feeling and she disliked it. She felt hollow as she resigned herself, and went back to watching the waves for a while. She would have liked to paint them. If I'm going to go down, I'll go down with a fight. She still had time to change her mind, but it was made. As long as they didn't try to hurt her with fire she would retain her courage and she would fight to the last. It might not have to come to that. Maybe we'll get away unseen.

Cassia took another deep breath, gatherining herself, and did her best to cleanse herself of any emotion. Calm. Waves on a sea. She was calm. "If... if we're seen..." She hated the hestiation in her voice. It sounded weak. "If we're seen, I'm going to try my best to hold him up while you escape. I'm the one here who has no future. He'll kill me, probably, but if you can get away you can still save your species, and he won't win." She still felt uncomfortable with the thought of doing something for someone else, but uncomfortable in a good way. She felt whole.

ANNA SHOOK HER HEAD AGAIN, and growled, fire blowing from her nostrils. "I will help you tear that monster to shreds. As of yet, I have no idea whether my species has any chance of survival. If it does, then that is brilliant; if not, so be it, I could care less as long as Devin dies," she said in a venomous tone, though the taint in her voice was directed at the slayer, not at Cassia. She breathed slowly, attempting to calm herself. As long as she didn't blow fire, there was a chance she might not be spotted and beheaded by Devin. She forced her scales to change their color to brown so that they would blend in with the scenery and calmed herself. She hissed and finally calmed herself. No more of this senseless anger, you'll only get yourself and your friends killed, she thought. As long as you're silent and invisible, your friends might have a chance as well. She took flight and surveyed the area to see if Devin was nearby. He was on the other side of the valley, too far away to catch them if they left now.

She sounded the alarm to her friends. "Devin is nearby. We need to get moving, or we'll be dead dragons before sundown," she said. "Let's get moving." She began to fly higher and glided on an updraft.

KIEDAN NODDED. "YES, toward the sea," he said, as he winged his way toward the smell of saltwater. When he arrived at the cliffs, he flew over the edge and used them to shield his presence. The jagged limestone contrasted perfectly with the pounding surf to create a beautiful scene. A picture paints a thousand words, he thought. Words that I cannot speak. He flew on, thinking his own morbid thoughts with the crashing of the waves against the shore as a background melody to his melancholy mood. His eyes surveyed the coast as ten thousand words to describe his feelings flooded his mind and clouded his thoughts. His cluttered, disjointed thinking was dragging him down, and he was allowing himself to lose this battle, he realized. He shoved the thoughts of sorrow out of his mind and roared, a sound that was more like a keening wail that brought to mind all those dragons lost to Devin's sword. Father, why didn't you live? Why did you allow yourself to suffer defeat, to let Devin win? Curse the scum that murdered you and Mother, he thought angrily. He did not allow rage to take over again; this time, he shoved his emotions far away from him for the time being so that he could concentrate on the path ahead.

Revenge will come later, he reminded himself. All you have to do now is make it to the Archmage in one piece. That is your best chance. With one large, dramatic beat of his wings, he expelled the last of his anger, and concentrated on the waves below.

The Grand Archmage gave his friend a sad smile and mindspoke to him. "I know better than most what you are going through. I realize you miss Claudia as much as I miss my beautiful Tara, but do not worry. The Maker has promised that we will see our loved ones again. Come now, let us go home. I need to finish my to-do list," the Archmage said. He climbed onto Croner's back and said, "Let us return to the castle, my friend. We have a special occasion to celebrate; an occasion called life. The celebration must go on even when it seems to have ended." He smiled at his friend, proud that Croner was able to keep himself together after all those centuries.

Hawk turned with Kiedan, nearly slipping. He was out of practice at flying, he realised, having wings did leave you with a disadvantage. As they left the valley, he breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at the prospect of going towards the ocean.

Aer smiled cautiously at the Greater Dragon, her natural sense of mistrust confusing the happy instinct to make friends. She watched the female dragon slightly, tilting her head to one side and taking in her features, before she replied; "My name is Aer. Aer Luce Bellator, but I prefer Aer, obviously" She paused for a second, before adding; "What's yours?"

Suri's eyes widened as he heard Anna's news. He snarled under his breath, cursing their luck. "Okay." He said firmly, trying to remain calm. "We're all here, right? Lunaris, Cassia, Anna, Erza, Svarog. And me, obviously. That's a good start." He realized that he was mumbling and smiled apologetically. He opened his wings and swooped upwards a little, ready to go. "We need to go" He explained simply, repeating the obvious as he hovered.

Sorry I haven't been on, and I have writers block!
