Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sardin sighed. "Well incase you didn't know Olandrik is my father, I got my dragon powers of lightning from him, Well he's human but he raised me and taught me how to harness lightning better. But he believed the woman he fell in love with, Being my mother was just a regular human. But when my mother passed away Olandrik found out what she really was and felt betrayed by her not telling him to begin with. If she had I might not ever had been born." Sardin said looking down sighing

"I get treated roughly even by other dragons because of it worse is likely from the three high level dragon mages." Sardin said as he looked out towards the ridge that dropped right off from where the ground was pulled up from. Sardin looked and watched the area as if pondering.

Sardin smirked ruffling her hair as she tried to pull him away from the edge. "I thank you for trying to cheer me up even you trying to move me from the edge here has me on the edge of laughing Lyra.

It's almost as if your afraid I might try jumping over the edge to try killing myself. Which if you are thinking that might had crossed my mind I assure you that well i'd have to feel more down than I currently do. And I mean a lot more than I do now. Secondly it would only hurt once I fell impacting the ground. A fall like this would only break a few bones in my body and not be lethal to me." Sardin said laughing hugging Lyra.

Sardin then moved away and looked nodded turning one hand dragon like as he drew a small circle in the ground at the one side of the front gate. In it he planted a strange glowing seed. Then in the same spot at to other side of the gate did the same and sat in between them and focused. "Pardon me but you might want to stand just inside the gate a moment." as he focuses green sprouts rise up from the center of the circles where he planted those seeds.

The more Sardin focused the faster the sprouts grew to look like tree saplings. A slow steady growing effect and as the curve at the walls arch as the saplings bent in the same patter as the stone archway, runes forming in the bark of the growing trees as if being carved into the trees the top of the archway the trees wrap around each other looking like a braid of wood. Not even one single leaf sprouted until the tree was turned and thickened into a secondary archway. But instead of a normal leaf they looked like crystal leaves.

Once it was how he wanted Sardin opened his closed eyes and looked them over getting up from sitting on the ground breathing a little hard but that was all. Then just beyond the trees like archway he drew in the ground with a single claw a odd pattern, He walked off to the nearest water source getting a bucket and putting a few things he pulled out of a pouch on his hip into the water mixing it up he looked to Hitana and Lyra.

"If you two would like to help me you can with this next part and if you're wondering I am making a transportation gate way up here. I will then make another on the ground below. This will allow people to come and go as if walking through a door way from outside a home to inside. That is how easy it would be on people as if just passing the gate they appear on the lower grounds or upper grounds here.

Similar to the transporting crystals I had used to get the injured people in the barriers to you for healing Lyra. This will allow the people here to go to other towns to trade goods, And for other towns to come here for trade and visiting." Sardin said smirking softly. All you need to do is if you are able to Lyra is hold half of the water from this bucket in the air as Hitana heats it up.

When the water turns thick like watered down clay mud let a small trickle of it ooze into the carving I drew into the ground spreading it out into the design level and then stand back as I hit it with lightning turning the liquid to crystal." Sardin said smirking a little.

Sardin nodded and smiled. Good job both of you. Now stand back here a bit so you don't end up getting shocked." He said and he stood back a little like 3 feet from the doorway and waited for Lyra and Hitana to move back to a safer place.

Holding out his hands red and black energy swirled around Sardin's gauntlets before lightning looking similar shot out mixing into a blood red color and hit the liquid crystalizing slowly and he kept this lightning effect up until the gooey liquid hardens from the lightning.

Once it was done he paused catching his breath and placing a single crystal having called all his portal crystals back to him Placed all but two away in his hip pouch. One he placed and set up right there and then the second he set up and tossed it over the edge and waited standing with the water bucket in his hand and soon the crystal beeped in a sequence then opened a portal to the ground below.

"Well now we can go down briefly to the ground and do the other gate portal. These portals stay open until a secondary place it made like say you wanted to go to any large city directly from one of these gates and there are placed that have these built. you can press a button sequence to open a different portal if needed. Though it would be off to the side instead of at the main gate of that city." Sardin said snickering as he stepped through the portal. Popping out onto the ground level side of the portal and waited to see if Lyra and Hitana would follow.

Sardin did his task letting them repeat theirs with the water and then used his lightning and once it was done the crystals glowed and a portal opened up as he gathered the crystal from down there.

"This one is more stable then the small portals. Meaning it won't hardly tickle when you go through it. You might however get a little dizzy. If it affects you too strongly I recommend you ride in a carriage through it till you get used to it.That is my only advise cause going up you could get dizzy from sudden altitude changes." Sardin advised and Sinestra appears at the gate with two wagons one pulled by a white pony with a blue mane and tail and it watches Lyra.

"So you be staying here or finding your own place to live? Just wondering if we should bring the gifts up there or where you are wanting to go so we can properly deliver your gifts, which include this pony as well as the presents as gifts." She said smiling softly and sweetly as she watched the three.

Sinestra smirked a little. "Very well I shall see to it your gifts are delivered to a place for you to go through privately." She said bowing her head as Sardin smirked.

"Yes well that is all and good I could use a hand shopping if it is needed, though first I must take inventory so too many supplies are not gotten, Why buy food if it is going to go bad before its used." Sardin says as he laughs and walks on ahead to get his other small portal crystal picked up.

He then went on taking inventory to find out just how much and of what was needed. Sinestra also had the gifts delivered to the castle for Lyra and Hitana.

After several minutes pass Sardin blinks and looks around scratching his head "I don't think Lyra came back with us. She's not in her room, and no one has seen her. And looking over the log data I built into the gate says she didn't enter through it. So I am going to go look for her.

The bracelet I gave her will keep her safe and let me know if she is in danger, but it has not done so therefore perhaps she found a place to think things over perhaps?" Sardin said scratching his head a little thinking as he moved out of the castle with a list and took to the air thinking still closing his eyes as he focuses on the location of the bracelet.

A young man was walking through the woods near a stream and hunched down looking around for anything to hunt for food. Then he spotted Lyra staring at the water and thought about things. Thought about seeing what she was up to so made his approach slow and stealthy, Once he was up next to a tree the bow on his back pulled off into one hand. "So whats a lovely lass like you doing out here? If your trying to fish I doubt just staring at the water will do any good, not like they will just jump out into your lap from staring." The hunter said trying to be humorous.

Sardin set out flying a little blinking a bit tilting his head having lost the signal a moment and started to fly towards where he last sensed its location.

The hunter smiled shaking his head. "Oh you don't have to go, A lovely lady like you should be careful though. Specially in these parts where bandits roam, I was just out hunting for food for my family. Unfortunately it seems there is hardly anything to hunt for food around here. I fear either most of the livestock and wild game has been scared off or over hunted by the bandits ib these parts."

Sardin paused running almost into Olandrik in the sky and stopped to look at him. "Hey old man you know the tracking barrier blacelet you gave me? I was wondering if some things can interefere to make the tracking aspect suddenly vanish."

Olandrik huffed and snorted at the question. "Only reason one of those should suddenly vanish is if the wearer wasn't wearing anymore or they died. So you better hope if it was one of the princesses that it's no longer on them anymore." Olandrik said and looked focusing and sighed. "But you might not be strong enough I feel it just fine on the lower lands and near a river to the south east. Which is bad because that area near Andulis is teaming with greedy bandits that would ransom their own mothers if they could get away with it." Olandrik added and scowled at Sardin.

Sardin sighed and rubbed the brow of his nose taking off in that direction which was where Sardin felt it last perhaps he was too far for his power to sense it.

The hunter nodded a bit. "Alright if you have to, Just be very careful." He said then turned to walk away seeing a deer he chased after it. "Hey you deer get back here I don't want to hurt you, I just want to have you for dinner!" The hunter called and laughed a little.

Sardin was flying in the air and landed near by looking around and he scratched his head. "Now where did she go." He said scratching his head and frowned trying to focus again on it.

Where Lyra was at was starting to get hard to see due to fog rolling in oddly. But it was strange where it wouldn't really obey her powers of water if she tried to make it thin out if she tried. And someone was in the fog as well following Lyra watching her. Stepping carefully it was like this group of men was sizing her up After a few minutes a man put a hollow tube to his lips and a few more did as well and they blew on them hard. 3 darts flew through the air and if even one hit Lyra she would be knocked out cold.

Sardin used his dragon sense worried he didn't like using this ability much as it made him more beastly in all aspects. His hair grew longer and thicker bushing out and his body took on wolf like aspects as he activated it. His eyes changed to looking more wolf like. As he sniffed the air and around trying to sniff Lyra out he grew more worried. He was starting to lose the scent as the wind changed and took a pure wolf like form, large enough to where a human could lay on his back and he carry them. Sardin's wolf form was almost as large as most 3 year old horses but he was able to pick up Lyra's trail again more easily in this form.

Sardin followed it seeming what seemed like hours.
