Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Secrets must be revealed in due time. You two are wise enough to understand how chaos results. So would it be here." Glancing between the two of them and then settling into her perch a little more comfortably. "None of yours shall be harmed. That much I can give you my word on. The white is not a threat anymore than the small gold is. He is a stray, nothing more, nothing less. Keep him if you so desire, send him off if you do not." She didn't particularly care what happened to the small gold or the light blue for that matter either. "Would you give ere I asked?"

"A dozen amongst the two of us that we would happily give. Our attempts to seek out the reasons for you being here were rejected quite strongly from those who traveled with you. Is that all you seek?"

"Yes and no. A dozen is enough but not all." Glancing around the sandy plain for the breath of a second. "There is much at stake and the fate of the plane might very well rest on the Plan. Uprisings are beginning to occur and soon the entire Order of things will be turned upside down. Not all of this is our doing but it is all our Will. Do you understand?"

"I would not order you to such ends, Dragon Maiden. Were it to be wise that you should choose a side? Yes. All the plane will be divided but all will become fruitful in the end." Glancing over at the male. "And what say you, Dragonlord?"

"This is not the first I've heard of it but the source who mentioned it to be was not reliable so I paid them only as much heed as I deemed worthy. As such, I haven't had time to consider all other options yet. Forgive me if my answer isn't as ready as I would potentially like."

"No forgiveness to be asked, Dragon Lord. Truth, I admire such generosity. It will serve you both well in the future to hold to your precepts in this manner. Keep keen ears for they will aid you well. Is there anything else you wish to know or have you enough of me?"

"Your help is to be remembered by me and my companion as well." She shimmered once and became the ball of light then disappeared from sight completely with a final phrase. "If you need wise counsel, you have but to ask."

Dyranthirim watched the ritual and then turned back to Nell, glancing around to be sure no one was listening to paying them too much attention. He knew from past tales from his own father that when the Laerethe took another into their counsel, none other could see or hear what was being said. To the others it probably appeared that he and Nell were lounging together, soaking up the rays of the sun. They might even believe the two of them were....close.

He shook his head and tugged on her tail covertly then moved back into the safety and coolness of the cave. "What do you know of this uprising, Nell? I've only heard a passing word or two but you obviously have far more information. I need to know and then we both need to keep an eye and ear out like the Stars said."

She was surprised on how quickly he seemed to pull her away and become interested in such things. "The bronze dragoness. She speaks of it in great detail. Apparently other dragons in the atolls and the like even as far as the salt beds and the like...are speaking of overthrowing the riders and are looking or organize. She spoke to me about such things...and how the moral boost of metallics joining up, especially of our colors, would further the cause greatly. She was quite adamant about it."

"Anything I really want...it just reads and repeats sources." Shrugging as if it was commonplace...maybe it was for elves. Or she was just good at coming up with ways to compensate for herself. That and she liked to tinker...hands could memorize things better and know what they were. Raise of an eyebrow on dragons though. "Long as it doesn't get me killed and I get new puppets, I suppose I can agree to that." Blinking at his mention of color though. Sun maybe, or maybe it was from scrubbing so hard yesterday. "Good try, I almost detected concern in your voice there. Keep practicing." Though since he was so conviently close...might as well 'feel' him out a little.

"You know...my mother has a saying for my father, she says; Don't poke dragons with sticks...I think you could learn a thing or two from that and heed the warning." Turning her attention from her nails and turned a look to the spot beside her that he was occupying, Chylithair giving a nosie despite his lizard crunching. "If such thing has a viable magic signature or something else like that, and if I have something that it can track from. I suppose it's a bit like a blood hound." Okay think...what made humans feel different from the life forces of other races that made her able to pinpoint them as indeed human?

"We fail and the dragons are done for. Especially if they find they can use us in our neutral forms. They'll breed nothing but an idiot line of slaves of mass destruction from our kind." Her tail was snaking around in her own show of agitation, unlike his pacing. "I'm reserving my judgement on the matter for now, but keeping my ears open. My own here have their own children and such to worry about, I'm not going to worry them with such things. I'll deal with what I need to as I come upon it. I suggest you approach the same way."
