"You call yourselves stupid?"
Then she found herself being greeted by men and lights, and she wasn't all certian what that all meant but figured it was probably something she didn't need to understand.
"We are indeed here to ask for you assistance, although I know not of this Blackskin that you speak."
"I hope we do not overstep our bound by asking for assitance from ones such as yourselves. She stood next to the three men, standing in a line before the five.

Malik let the others take seats, before his attention swiveled only enough to catch the younger one watching, or eavesdropping for someone else. Malik himself stood, in a casual though nearly military stance, mostly becuase after sitting most of his day, he preferred to stand for a short time at least. One hand rested on Malvolence, fingers almost caressing over the pommel.

"Good Enough for me." The red one said. "Which Temple First?"
"Earth. We don't know how much longer Nyrull will remember where his temple is." The blue one replied.
"Agreed." The White one said.
"Seconded." The Green one added.
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" The Black one said, or girgled, or roared, as he polymorphed into a very large, and imposing black dragon. He lowered his head and sniffed the four adventurers. "Only Two." He said.
Lore and Corathian pointed to Leaf and Fin, where were grabbed by hand large enough to crush houses, and hoisted into the air. The great doors swung open, and the dragon stormed off with the duet.
Fin had no idea what was going on, or how he should feel.
"Now, the matter of our payment..." The Blue one said with a very greedy tone. "How do you intend to compensate us?"
"We have to compensate you?" Lore asked, "I thought you wanted to live on the surface and would do everything in your power to achieve that goal?" He made up on the spot hoping to use his bardic influence on a creature that probably would not be swayed so easily.
"Saddly, I think you have a point." The Blue one replied. "There are some guest quarters underneath the sofa over there." He pointed to a chair that could house most of Puria on its surface, which had a small 'house' underneath it. "You may stay there."
Malevolence's telephatic abilities would most certainly alert Malik to the fact, the child was merely just curious about the visitors. He was memorizing their features because they seemed 'amazing' and 'wonderful' and 'diferent from the rest of the world'.

Leaf only grunted slightly at being hoisted off her feet, she was unprepared for it and somewhat shocked. Afterwards, she concentraited on holding on, because she wasn't sure how good a dragon's grip was. She would have soar muscles when this journy finished.
:This is moving faster than I anticipated..." she shouted over the wind.

"Well, at least we don't have to take a ship." Fin shouted back.
"We could take a ship, if you like."
"No, Flying is fine... Just don't drop us."
"Ok. Food tastes better when it isn't a liquid anyway." Replied Nyrull. A few moments later, or hours, or days, or years, they arrived at what looked like a ruined temple from some ancient and advanced culture that went extint when they discovered how to convert themselves into pure energy. "This is my Temple. You goes' in. And I waits here.... I think I need you to bring out some stuff with you... Like.. The shinies."
Fin looked at the dragon, and then the Temple. "I'll see what I can do." He walked over to where Leaf was, and put a hand on her shoulder. "Are you ready for this? I do not think it will be as easy finding theelemetn as it was to get the quest and come here." It might take longer, by alot.

"The shinies....we will do as you ask then, dragon."
Set on the grounds, she arranged her weapons because they never seemed to fit right. She took Fin's hand off her shoulder and without hesitation headed for the entrance of the temple.
"I would rather die trying to bring life back to our people than on the end of some orcish spear of a sensless war." Her hand tightened. "I am ready."

Fin marched up beside the woman, and smiled. "I am ready as well. Let what troubles befall which may." He walked into the temple, into unforseen gloom and posible agony. What evils lurked in the Depths beneth the arcaic santuary, no one would know. For the Dragon's claimed these buildings simply because they did, never actually venturing into them.
What horrors await our heros, Find out next time.

Waking up in a sweat, Rusty slowly sat down on his bed. He shook furiously his head trying to forget his dream but it did nothing but make him dizzy for a bit. He stayed there staring off into space while thinking about the dream for a few minutes.
When he snapped back to reality he had made up his mind to go forth and find Moonstone. He would be able to help him. At least he hope he would be.
Besides Moonstone, Rusty didn't have many he felt comfortable to talk to. The reason probably being the fact that Moonstone had helped him out and he also had fur.
He got up, not needing to change or tidy himself up, and made his way towards the kitchen. It being the only place he remembered how to get to.
Once he made his way there he realized that no one was there. A slight look of dissapointment showed in his face as he walked slowly back to his room only to stop halfway to listen carefully.
"I though I heard voices." He mumbled under his breath. He waited to hear some more of those voices.

Rusty was met by a three headed dog as he wandered the hallways. Each head spoke with the same voice, but not exactly at the same time, giving his speach an odd echoing effect. "You did here voices, with ears like that."
Each head cocked in a different direction. "May I assist you?"

"Gah!" Rusty backoff a little and his head and ears went low. He looked at the odd three headed dog and gulped. "Err.... Ermm...."
He didn't know what to answer to this creature. He stood there for a minute trying to come up with an answer when finally he spoke up. "Hi... Who are you... and... can you help me find Moonstone? If he's not too busy... I'd like to speak to him."
He looked down to the ground at the creature's feets.

Deidrick smiled pleasantly. "My name is Deidrick. I am my Mistress Meilikki's protector and friend. Currently, Moonstone has traveled back to his home above the infirmary. I will lead you there if you like."

Lharike was quiet, content to glance around the strange surroundings and stay silent. She knew how to sit quietly in the midst of an important meeting, Daddy Kieran sometimes let her sit in on them and once she'd even been in a room with lots of the royals. Formal dinners and whatnot had taught her manners and she gave a smile to Meilikki then settled herself on one of the chairs, right next to Isle of course, her legs dangling where she just wasn't tall enough. Her eyes caught the tea and cookies but she knew better than to take before it was offered.
I won't!" Of course he called it back to his father since he was busy already running off. He would stop though and glance back, wait for Daddy to get only a few steps behind him instead of a long way and then he'd dart off again.
Finally he was walking alongside the river, his arms held out as he put one boot in front of the other, tracing a direct line alongside the body of water. Something move beneath the surface and he leaned down, getting on his hands and knees and peered into the water, listening to see if he could figure out what it was. He reached to the side of him and felt around on the ground until he picked up a rock. "Daddy! Come see this!"
Zahara heard the front door open and close and stood up to check and see then realized that Sevilin and Zykariel were gone. She turned and walked into the kitchen and started making dinner. Underdark variety stew seemed like a good thing to make this evening. "Just you and me Nym," she said to the little fuzzball who had followed her out and fed him a piece of meat. Then A sigh. "Just you and me."

Rusty looked at the dog called Deidrick and blinked as he nodded. He would of never expected a creature like this one to have a name as Deirick and speak so well too.

Piper gave Meilikki a smile. "Meilikki, good to see you again." Though then a gesture to the others in thier company, seeing as introductions needed to be made didn't they. "Meilkki this is Arthur Murdock, Isleandra Rainsong, Lharika Silvercrest and of course my son, Malikhai." There, that out of the way she took a seat next to her husband, though she wasn't thrilled with his tone. Though it was interesting how he was keeping close tabs on his son. A litle sigh and a look to Meilikki. "So then, reining me in for not visiting before in a timely fashion, are you?"
Malikhai didn't mind being kept close by his father, after all they were in one of those stranger situations. Though as his mother introduced him he gave a little nod and wave to Meilikki, as well as a little smile. Though he didn't hide behind his father as he usually did. Of course when dad sat down, he was quick to climb up into his lap.
Keely gave a bright smile and walked over to Meilikki, hugging the woman. She was more a frequent visitor than Piper, sometimes stayed a few days with the woman. "Meil, I'm so glad to see you again." Meilikki was in fact almost like a mother, and had indeed watched Keely grow up some.
Isle merely gave a polite nod and took a seat for now, remembering her own manners for the moment and giving a look around at the place, letting her eyes take it in with again that almost child like fasionation. Humans things amuse her after all.
Sevilin shook his head, long strides making it easy to keep caught up to the child. And thus he let the child lead him to the river and apparently the boy had found something of interest. Not that he was thrilled about that...after all, Underdark water wasn't the most friendly stuff. But he walked up to his son and tilted his head. "What did you find?"
Nym gave a purr and a chitter, taking great joy in stealing scrabs and taking what was also given and generally annoying Zahara as she cooked. Hey handouts were all good.

Deidrick trotted in a little circle, smiling. "Splended. This way, this way." he turned around and headed for the door. "Most of our guests do not stay long in the quarters you were offered last night, but my Mistress says that you are welcome there until such time it pleases you to find another home."
He wagged his tail and looked at the door. "Could you open the door, pelase?" he smiled. "I don't have any thumbs."
"Good tide, Arthur, Isleandra, Lharika, Malikhai. It's a pleasure to meet you all, however cliched that statment may be."
Meilikki smiled pleasantly in her Oracle way and hugged Keely back. "You grown more since last I saw you." She ran her fingers through the girls hair, because she had messed up during the hug.
A small chuckle. "Reining you in? I am uncertain that I would have had the time to see you had you come any earlier. Keely knows the truth of that."
