Kalco once sensed the use of magic.Someone's following us. he told to Halbark.We'll wait here, and when they come, we''l strike. Halbark's teeth matched somewhat to a grin.Oh, yeah...They found a VERY large thicket of trees and made sure that nature covered them.And now...we wait.

"Terra, you mind taking us down to the ground?" Kalios asked. He might be an elven Warden, but he acted like a scared dwarf when he was on dragonback. The dragoness angled down, and landed in a clearing surrounded by thickets in each direction. Kalios laid Sora on the ground, and sat down near him. "All we have to do is wait, now," he told Terra, who snorted and laid her head in her forelegs.

From a tree in the distance, you could clearly her bursts of laughter from two, VERY familiar voices. Shortly after the laughing had stoppe,d two blurry figures proceeded to jump from branch to branch, to quick from a traumatised Kalios to see whatever it was that was approaching him.
And then, nothing.
The two shapes seemed to and launched themselves in the air, to never come back down.
"Scared of a little height, are we?" came a voice behind Kalios, a voice with a rather sing-song-ish tone and an air of superoority. No doupt who THAT was...
"You know what, Minae? I think you're right!" said the other voice, who you could now know was May's.
The two girls then jumped of on dragoness, knowing that she didn'T really mind the women's presence, only to start laughing, and be abruptly disturbed by something Kalios had apparently missed.
"Do you think it's him...?" Minasia questionned her guard, who nodded in return.
"I'm not surprised that he's put so much time in finding us. We WERE in a complete different time zone for a while." May explained, turning around, wanting to find Kalco and... What was the dragon's name already?
"It was Halbark, May..." Minae said, shaking her head.
The two then dwiftly jumped off the dragoness' back, only to turn back to Kalios.
"You should stay with Sora" Minae said, as May nodded approvingly before the two rushed back up in the trees to go after the other Dragon and Rider.

Kalios nodded, a bit mad discontent with their attitudes. He laid one hand on his sword as the two of them disappeared into the trees. He hadn't changed seating position since he had landed, and it would be best to pose as a peaceful elf communing with a dragon.
Terra looked down at Sora, who was placed face-up on the ground. She saw his chest rising and falling slightly, an indicative that he was, in fact, alive. The tunnel that they flew through, however, was reminiscent of the underground tunnel in the Hadarac that led to Ellesmera. The walls would absorb any being without proper permission to pass through. Her guess was, almost anybody could open the Gate. But they would need Sora to pass through it alive and in one piece. He was their permit slip, their passport, to whatever lay on the other side.

Kalco heard voices nearby. They seemed familiar..... hen it clicked.Sora and May!He climbed up the tree he was hiding behind, and jumoed from tree to tree, following the voices as they became louder. He jumped onto the tree above Sora, clinged onto a branch, and swung his head down right in front of Sora's face. "HI!"

Sora groggily opened his eyes out of shock, although nothing of the way he woke up would indicate it. He was still very low on energy, but if he had enough, he would have screamed and scrambled away until he got to his senses. As is, he closed his eyes and was pulled back to a dreamless sleep.
Kalios raised his arm high in the air, shuddering with the sort of anger an over-protective brother would have. He had to take several deep breaths before laying his hand down on his sword hilt again. "I see someone's hyper," he said, his legs locked together. Even though he wasn't as tired as Sora was, he was still tired enough from holding hands with Sora that he wouldn't be running any marathons today.

Kalco jumped down from the branch and faced Kailos."And I see somepeople that are tired."

"It goes beyond tired. Sora knocked himself out by trying to get us here quicker," Kalios said. "Terra and I were the accessories. We had to lend some energy so that he wouldn't kill himself. And now the three of us are useless while May and Minasia are looking for you and Halbark," he said. "If I wasn't bound by my duty as Warden of the Key, I think I would look for them also. As is, I have to sit by and make sure that Sora doesn't die."

Kalco nodded."Good. I'm going to go look for May and the others. Which way are they?"

"Over there," he said, pointing at the spot where the two disappeared off into. "When you find them, tell them to come here. I have to be with Sora and I won't be able to carry him anywhere."

Kalco grinned."Thank you. And take good care of him." He leaped up into a tre and dashed towards the direction Kailos pointed at.

((You guys post too much too fast... stare I tell you, it's a conspiracy against me and Iz, I'm sure of it!! xd ))
The two women bounded happily, until they heard the failiar sound of the ground compressing and collapsing on itself under the otherworldly weight of a dragon.
Minasia looked at May with a rather odd, happy stare, and May gave that look back as they simply... 'Beamed' back towards the sound, exhausting themselves some bit, and appearing a few meters in front of Kalco, who was now probably staring down at them from the tree he was in.
"Kalco! We'Ve been looking for you for some time now, where have you-"
"WHERE, IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT'S GOOD AND EVIL, HAVE YOU BEEN?!"
Minasia stood there, utterly disturbed and aghast at May's rather innappropriate reaction. Did that spell REALLY work that long, or was this just worry blurring her judgement?
"Without you, travelling with magick was a PAIN!!"
"Just... Just that...?" Minae sighed, shaking her head. "Such a big fudd of a reaction for THAT...?"
"WEll what?! You KNOW we nearly died a few times on the way!!" May yelled out, pretty much on edge because of the lack of sleep.
"May... Let's just go back to Sora and Kalio-"
WEll, good thing, they didn't really showed up very far from the two named above. Minae stared blankly passed the few trees in the way and burst into a frenzied run, sliding on her knees, stoping right beside Sora.
May sighed and followed silently and slowly, signlaing Kalco to follow
"Kalios!! What happened?! How the heck did you two get like this?!"

Kalios looked up at May, transferring his energy to Sora. If ever he looked like a vampire, now was the time. His skin was as pale as the Humans who lived up in the northern mountains of alagaesia, his eyelids were sagging down. All he needed were fanged teeth to complete the picture. "You're here," he said. "I'm alright. It's nothing a drink of faelnirv won't cure," he said. "Sora's all out, as am I. We're gonna have to go into Ellesmera for some more," he said, standing up slowly, using his sword as an aid.
Terra stood up and bit on Sora's belt, hoisting him into the air like a kitten held by his mother, and waited to follow the others to Ellesmera. Let's go, she said. The sooner we rest the better.

"May, I'll talk you to you about it later."
HALBARK!
Having fun with the reunion?
Just come here.
A giant bronze dragon appeared in the skies above, slowly land next to Kalco. He hopped up on the dragon.
To Ellesmera!
Halbark once again lept up into he air, soaring towards the city.

Seeing Kalios who looked on the verge of decomposition, May felt like tearing him to shreads; WHY did he not stop Sora or ask for help?!
In any case, the guardian rushed to the fallen, white man, giving him furious glares of incomprehension.
"You idiot...! You should've known better, BOTH of you. And really, you think I never have any on me..?" May said, her voice slowly softening with every word until she was no more glaring at him than a horse would hurt a fly.
Unhooking a small pouch from the belt on which rested her dark blue sword, May opened the small leather bag to reveal a palm-size, clear, scrystal-like bottle.
Handing it to Kalios without hesitation, she sighed and shook her head as Minasia gave her a concerned look.
"You two are as stupid as dragons witout brains..." Minae whispered, cupping Sora's face between her two cold, shaking hands. "Honestly, even May and I wouldn't have dared such a stupid trick as to transport a dragon and the two of us...!"
