Welcome to Gaia! ::

He didn't look pacified and he wasn't. "No, you promised!" Crossing his arms even as his father held him...kid got driving hard bargains from his father and he didn't seem to budge in his opinion on the matter. Daddy promised, he wasn't going to break that promise. Either daddy didn't go, or Malikhai went with him....at least that was the child's opinion. "Send it a negotiation." Aw wasn't that cute? And he knew dragons were smart creatures.

"Good...then if we find this thing to be a challenge and need the boost, I know the perfect thing we can use...if two rune mages put into one rune, the tax and cost is less per individual...good thing to know isn't it?" Though again partially amused at Malik's son, kid was stubborn. But a look around a moment for his own son, where'd he go?

And then he was being pulled to the side for a moment by Zahara, who had hold of aforementioned child. He blinked at her a moment. "It's no problem...just don't yell when we come home looking worse off than we are. Don't fret, there's enough to worry about it right now. Taking his own son from her and holding him a moment, patting his back comfortingly.

"Joy boat ride over water..." Yeah didn't he just love water...pity those horses shoes had gone out with the rest of the magic. Made travel so much more cumbersome. But hey that's why boats were known, as well as perfectly safe routes, they were long routes but it kept the risk of being attacked at bay. "It'll be a long walk once we hit shore again."

That got a grin.

"Not a bad idea. And I know I promised if I left I'd take you with me."

before a sound at the door. hmm. how'd that happen past his guards. must be someone they knew. which meant the doors got opened, and they were led to Malik.

"Vesendar's powers that be. welcome. I know of your trouble, and I know that it's sight is set on me next. if your looking for aid, you have it. any information would be important right now. have you injured it, even scratched it?"

Dharielle nodded. "D'vinn. We appreciate the aid. Thankfully it has not done hardly any damage. There was a large explosion close to us that flattened a home or two but our casualites are not so high yet." Niilrik shook his head. "It's slow going to say the least. Without magic there's little we can do and it's scales prevent anything from really doing damage. It's starting fires all through the city but we've more or less put those out. We are sending a few more legions over now that we are certain of your agreement. You have our warriors at your command as well D'vinn. Together maybe we can beat this thing."

Zahara stared at him for a long moment before her eyes flashed. "I am too going out there. I have to fight, this is personal Sevilin. He attacked me first and had I killed the idiot we wouldn't be in this mess. Then he destroyed Vesendar-" She blinked for a moment as Nadai waved to her and then she caught sight of the same dark blue scarfs, belts and designs that those hailing from Vesendar used to identify themselves. "I thought Vesendar was decimated..." She glanced back at Sevilin and sighed. Zykariel. She needed to stay inside with the boys and he was right the wounded would need to be tended to which was what she was good at. "I have to fight..." she insisted stubbornly.

"No!" The child chimed in shaking his head angrily. "Daddy can fight and hurt things. Malikhai's mommy went off to fight stuff and she may not come back. You don't get to go too. I just got you." Thus squirming to be put down and then clinging to his mother's leg.

She nodded. "It was much the same for the temples. The information we had was 'there are temples. Find the keys."

Leaf looked about the surroundings. "At the moment, it is safe to assume that we are dealing with the element of earth. Otherwise I believe we would see more realtion to the other elements."

"Perhaps we are looking for a building, one that would not appear as the rest. Or a key stone place, or a lever or some symbols or..." She srhugged. "Something out of the ordinary." Goodness, she didn't like talking this much.



Neither Fin nor Leaf had been back the peninsula since their return from the elemental tempels. At the moment, without the clerical help they had recently recieved or the magics that they tended to relay on to keep the underdark at bay, they were under constant attack.

Many denizens of the underworld were makign themselves known, looking for some choice elf meat, stealing land, or just plain killing the elves. Defesnes were down, the relient rocky ground was giving way to the hordes of orcs. Any outlaying settlment had already been destroyed. Anthing to close to the water was over run by giant things of the sea, crabs and squid. Things that would normaly not venture out of the cold dark water.

The glowing mosses, which had beome wells after the departure of the gods, were quickly running dry. Soon, everytihng would be completely dark.

Roarke didn't wait for the wolf to make another attack. He was bleeding, and other people could get hurt, no time to be taking chances. He grabbed some rope from a villager and jumped into the wolf's side, knocking her over and rolling the two on the ground.

He grabbed at her paws, warpped the rope around her muzzle.

Kon was not empressed. She growled through her muzzle and kicked her feet wildly, trying to escape the robe. But it was thick and tied well.

Kon stopped moving bretahing hard and watching anyone who came close.

She however did stop to poke at a patch of moss or two, hm, that couldn't be too good. No phosphorous moss and the underdark would be completely dark. And whomever didn't have the vision for that was going to be picked off right quick. But a look over at Fin, walking over as they were motioned. "See, in the earth and of it as opposed to above it or sitting on it." Oh she could just imagine all the fun that could happen down there. "Do you two know how to draw on an external source for magic?" If they could even do magic, but it was said as she took to putting her weight against the rock to push it aside so they could head down.

"Daddy!" Said in that plaintive whiny voice of any toddler who wasn't happy with the words coming out of his father's mouth. Pretty soon he was going to start adressing him formally. Another nod. "Someone's gotta keep you from getting hurt." As mommy often said, and he knew his father wouldn't put him in danger like that. He'd cling, Malik was fine. Ah child logic. But yes he did look to Zykariel a moment at his mention. Zykariel was the older one, he was supposed to be more brave because of that, thus a look back to daddy. "He's older than me though." Which of course translated into child speak as 'he's the one who protects me, not the other way around'. Plenty of examples of it too.
