Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kai looked to Ri, watching the dragon's form shift to where she was a full-sized chinese dragon. Within a moment Kai was on her dragon, grabbing Dais and pulling him up too as Ri flew past. She then leaned over to hold her hand for Leena, her other hand holding onto Ri's neck. She was still perfectly calm, never seeming to hurry throughout it all.

It was about five hours before dawn when Gwen slid from the tree, going to Amaya's side. "Amaya." she murmured, touching a hand to her friend's shoulder to wake her.

Kai laughed at what Leena muttered at Vadasz, able to hear despite Leena being behind her. She leaned lower against Ri, silently communicating with the dragon. As soon as Leena was seated Ri had risen higher, flying in the weaving roller-coaster motion. It was just how she flew when in this current wingless form. Ri just headed away, going towards the border of Mereth and Aduial. It would be the safer direction and place to land, at any rate.

"If you define 'morning' as your turn to watch and mine to sleep, then yes. We've got about five hours until dawn, if you want to leave before then then tell me and wake me up a bit before you wanna leave." Gwen said, feeling only slightly guilty about waking Amaya. But, a want to sleep was overriding any other guilt she might feel.

Aldon twitched his whiskers and made a "meep" noise. He was once again in Kai's arms. He was sure Dais would think it was ironic that Kai had saved him again.

As Dais was contemplating what sort of explanation to give, he saw Leena and Kai jump out of the window. Leena was apparently stronger than she looked as her tug moved him toward the dragon that had appeared. Kai then helped him on. This is the kingdom of magicians, Dais reminded himself.

Aldon reached out a paw toward Dais, who sighed. The assistant nodded at Leena's question. Things had escalated in a way he had hoped they would not. "I was trying to find the ferret," he simply stated with another sigh. There was much more behind the words.

The assistant had never been on a dragon before though, so he did manage to look around a little to see what it was like. "Not quite the library view," he mumbled.

Kai didn't appear to be listening, instead watching where Ri was going and seeming to relax where she was sitting. But she was listening closely, making note of everything.

"Alright then. See you in the morning..." Gwen mumbled, hiding a yawn and settling down beside Tyri. She rolled over in her cloak, using it as a blanket and her arm as a sleeping back. A moment later she was asleep, having had enough practice at sleeping when she wanted to to be able to calm her mind quicky enough and allow her tiredness to take over.

Leena tilted her head a little and blushed a bit, realizing she had sounded paranoid again. And well... sort of like an a**. "Yeah, that would be it. It wasn't any trouble." She paused and bit her lower lip though it wasn't like he could see since she had her mask up. "Sorry if I sound, well frankly, like an a**. I've kinda grown to be slightly paranoid... I'm Leena. And the bird here is Vadasz." She knew she was inconveniencing him and so might as well try to be friendly since it was unknown how long it would be before they would go back.

Dais did want to know where they were headed, as long as it wasn't closer to Gannel as this point. "Dais," he said, giving his first name. He greeted the bird with a nod. A bit awkward, but typical of Dais's behavior.

The former demon spy wanted to keep a low profile, but sooner or later, he was going to have to decide whether to stay on the run or just join the revolution. Altarion was not going to allow him to run free.

The librarian was going to have a fit that Dais was taking a long break, at since the appearance of the shadows, Dais was less concerned with the librarian than with the current occurrences.
