Ryo wispers to Dannin, "Is that....a dragon?"
Dannin shruggs, "Looks like it, but I'm not too sure. Dragons are one of the few races older than the pure blood clans."
Kaylyn watches the Blacksmith, then finally speaks.
"Tell us, what you plan, please sir," she says with real respect for him.

Rowen and Lena watched in utter awe, speechless for the moment, forgetting almost what it was they were there for. Yes, they were there for the fact that they had to defeat evil, but what was this blacksmith here for in the first place?
Lena took it a step further, wondering about why Batrias was here as well, shouldn't he, in essence, be trying to save his life on some small scale? Shaking her head, she pushed it from her mind.
Cye and Kento, however, continued to watch in silence, Kento stunned for quite possibly the first time in a long while. Each of them understood on some small sense that they didn't want to play around with the being.

The Blacksmith growled deep in its throat. Its eyes rolled back in its head, as if it were concentrating. He slowly said,
"When from the sky comes the flame,
"Seek the one who before man came,
"The key is hers, four to unlock,
"Those of previous evil's stock."

Each of the warriors listened, looking at each other in confusion.
"What does that mean?" Cye asked.
Kento scratched his head, "Err..."
Lena blinked, "I think...it's a prophecy..."
"Yea, it is! LIke our armor's prophecies..." Rowen replied.

"I know what it means," Kayura said, her voice shaking. "Tusuki is going to draw another type of Inferno Armor, and it will either save the world or destroy it, as she decides..."
"What she really wants is to use the energy from the newest Inferno to resurrect Talpa," Batrias said. "Though that will probably tear the Earth to pieces in the process."
"Must not allow," The Blacksmith put in. "Must fight. Armor will be found, but armor must not be used."

Rowen paled, "You can't be serious!"
"I think she is...Kayura doesn't play like that you know," Lena spoke, looking over at Rowen.
"How will it be found?" Cye asked.

"Her has armors already," The Blacksmith said, "Her of evil. Can call armor when she wants, needs others. Needs Reciprocity. Needs Demons. Needs Wildfire. Needs Torrent. Needs many."
"There is some hope," Batrias said, "She might not be the one to wear it."

"Tusuki might not wear the armor," Batrias said, "And this is what I have pinned my hopes in by helping her. I can't be sure of it, but I don't think she was meant for the new Inferno she will summon. I think salvation just might lie with helping her forward. It's dangerous, but, at least this way, we get a chance to destroy her. That's what Kale was thinking too. I don't know what Sehkmet decided. Seems like he's fully on her side."
Kayura held her right arm with her left and looked off to the the side. "I had thought we were all allied, but after Dais died..."
"Spider lives. Not with armor, though," The Blacksmith said.

Surprise came from several of the warriors as each nearly clamored to be heard, "He lives?"
"What?"
"How can that be? I thought Dais was dead!"
"Dais was dead?" The last one was Lena, whom they had apparetnly forgot to clue in this little fact. It at least explained what had happened in the fact that she hadn't seen him about. She usually did after all....Rowen took her aside to quickly explain it to her.

"I felt his spirit leave this world," Kayura declared, forlorn that all these painful memories should be brought to the surface. "He sacrificed himself for the sake of another, a woman called Kourin. If his spirit left this world, then how is it he lives?"
The Blacksmith pointed a clawed finger at Lena. "Answers has she."
Kayura considered Lena. "Then that is why Tusuki wanted her so badly- to keep Dais from...coming back?"

Lena blinked, comming back tol ook at Kayura, "He didn't really pass on...I would have felt his spirit. I feel all of yours, or do you deny that when you helped me figure out HOW to do it in the first place?" Her voice was quiet, a war still raging on inside her armor, "Dais's spirit never passed on....it..."
She closed her eyes, listening to her spirits before focusing on Inigashi, who nodded to her, "He's been under the protection of the spirits of his own power....and...He awaits reunion with his armor?"
She looked rather perplexed, translating for everyone what she was being told, before blinking rapidly, eyes wide, "Zephy don't you-!! Oi!"
A bright flash of light, and in the girl's hand lay the crystal of Dais's armor, resting warmly in her own armored palm.

"Spider," The Blacksmith said, nodding at the crystal. "Last key needed for unlocking."
"So, where is Dais, then?" Kayura asked. She had a feeling that she was about to find out, one way or another.

Lena blinked, then looked up in the air again, repeating what the spirits told her.
Inigashi hovered about as Undine, the water spirit began. Spider, or Dais...is important to your team.....to you, to Dani....Kayura, Korrin....
He's the most sensible of the warlords...and had the best clue what was going on in the first place. He had the best chance at helping you stop what was wrong....Boreas, spirit of light, continued.
Yea, even when you were clueless to begin with, Zephyr, mischievious as ever,grinned, Sheesh....we have to tell you EVERYTHING don't we?
Lena rolled her eyes before continuing.
Inigashi continued, Besides, his spirit wasn't ready to pass on. It wasn't right...and the spirits of his own power didn't want to let him go! We couldn't let that happen yet....soo....
We pooled our power to save his soul....to allow him to continue to live. He's in an alternate dimension of sorts right now...resting...Zanku, the earth spirit finished.
"And probably bored as heck right now too..." Lena finished.

Kayura interrupted, "But if we bring him back, doesn't that mean that we run the risk of letting Tusuki achieve her goals? Doesn't it mean that we are basically just saying to her, 'Okay, go ahead with your evil plans. We won't interfere?'"
Batrias stomped his foot on the ground. "Now, dammit, I've had enough! Dais, you don't know...I mean, what he's done this whole time. If we let him languish wherever he is, we might stop Tusuki, but she might just find another way to call the new Inferno anyway."
"Staff," the Blacksmith pointed at Kayura's staff, which had been passed on to her from Anubis. "Can also call armor."
Kayura sighed. "It is probably interfering with the fundamental laws of the universe. But if it has to be done, then we might as well do it."
