Sarea nodded. "If that is all you wish to know, then that is all we need to do. Let us return to the Riders." A smile spread across her face. "Better yet, let us meet them at Ellesmera. And I will show you the finer workings of the Portal, not the reluctant worrywary Sora summoned."
She raised her arms, calling to the Source. Magick spun around her, first a pale blue, morphing into green, and then red. Around her arms, the colours spun together, a spiral of pure white.
It was before them. The portal. In a sense, it had always been there. The portal itself..was an indescribable thing. To even do so, is a terrible sin. All those colours..every single one you could ever imagine. And yet, at the same time completely colourless. The only thing in the entire world..which was colourless.

Terra looked at the Portal. Her mouth dropped. It was beautiful, that's all she had to know to describe it. It was elevated from the floor, enough so that one couldn't walk through it, but not enough that you couldn't jump through it. She wouldn't need any more information about the Portal, so she wouldn't ask. She, Sora, and Kalios had gone through it. There was no special needs to be done outside of calling for the Portal with Magic. I'll go first then, Terra said, and lifted herself into the air. She flapped for a second without hesitation, then flew into the hole in the air.
Sora looked at Kalios, who gave him a doubting look, and looked back at Kalco. "Remember, we were stuck in the time loop for some time. And we're not even sure if Time in the Places is relevant in the slightest bit to our time. So...we could have been gone for a lot longer than we thought," he said. "Or...Kalco could have been stuck in a time loop as well," he suggested. "We haven't kept contact, and for all we know, all the Riders could be extinct. Save for us," he finished.
Kalios looked at Sora and shook his head. "Don't delve into the fantasy so much," he said. "We all know that we can't be that far into Kalco's future," he finished.

May chuckled in a rather dark tone as she nodded accordingly to what Kalios as said.
"Of course; Even he, A Rider, would have shown even the slightest sign of aging if years had passed. If centuries had indeed gone by, as I'm sure it would've been if the Riders had to die out, Kalco would be a mere cripple nearly unable to walk in a straight line. Yet, here he is, perfectly healthy, and as intact as time had left him before our departure."
"Furthermore..." Minasia said slowly, stepping in front of May, to be seen both by Kalios, Sora and Klaco. "...if Klaco had been affected by the time flow, he wouldn't have been able to do any of what he mentioned; wouldn't have time. That, or as soon as he accomplished a deed, it would be erradicated and replaced by an other memory, since time probably would've wound back, starting over again from the moment it had gone in a hazardous direction."
"Not to mention that we were over there-" May pointed behind her, in the direction she and Minae had come from "-And that even though time has no boundries, Asarae MEANT for it to go berserk only for US, so that the rest of the world wouldn't have to go through the bizare effect we did. Because, notice, we've all gotten a little older ourselves. Just a year or two; not much... Dust in our lives, rea-OUCH!"
May had let out a painful cry as she was given a viuolent hit in the ribs my Minasia's elbow.
"May, LOOK." the Queen(wow, never used THAT name ><) said, pointing a way from them, a glowing circle.
"Oh GREAT." May replied, clearly knowing what it was. "ANOTHER portal. Just you see, Sarae and Terra will come out of it in a few seconds."

Sora looked at the circle. He recongnized it-vaguely. It was the Portal, although, this one was...different. Indescribable, even with the Ancient Language. Then he felt Terra's mind, long before he saw her appear.
The dragon flew out of the Portal, leaving a disturbance on the surface of the aperture. It rippled the white surface with...white? She couldn't tell how, it just seemed different. She landed on the ground gracefully about 5 meters away from the group. So what happened? she asked calmly.

((Well, In it was predicted, I hardly want to go with that, do I? xd ))
Sarea spoke only to Terra. You have witnessed the glory of the Portal. The pure glory of the Source. I trust the experience, nor our exchange will be related to another, til the time is right. And you will of course, try and prevent a Warden from using the portal without consent. It has been lenient once. We may not be able to interfere next time. They cannot handle it, not until you can tel them. Only then.
The Portal faded, and suddenly, it seemed as if it has never been there before, and indeed, the idea that Terra might have simply been with them, unnoticed, was one often to occur.
(to be finished))

Terra looked at the Portal, an image of flying through flashed through her mind. Alright, she said to Sarea. Let's go, she said, and launched herself up into the air, hovering above Sarea, waiting for her to take the lead.

((okay..))
"Come." Sarea said, from somewhere on the canopy above them. "We have to get to Ellesmera, before it is too late." The glow from her pendant flashed down at them, seeming to reflect the sun's rays.

Terra sped off after Sarea, into the clearing of Ellesmera where the others were. She landed softly on the ground behind Sora and Kalios. She was just about to tell everyone about where they were when she remembered Sarea's instructions. This was top-secret, confidential, her eyes only. So, instead, she lay down on the ground and looked at everyone, all talking about...some strategy or another. So what happened? she asked Kalco. How come we missed you for so long?
((NOW it's finished)

((Aren't we all lucky I'M around? x3333
Hm... Iz never finished HER post either... o_o))
Minasia stood uneasily, hindering on either her right foot or left, constantly switching as if something needed to be done within the seconds that followed. Though, she never spoke a word since Terra and Sarae had arrived through that portal... It seemed odd, though. Not like Kalios and Sora had described...
OR maybe they were just bad talkers and described their whole adventure through tortured and frightened words because they barely escaped death.
In either case, Minae's mind was fixating on something bigger;
How DID Kalco do all that... In such little time?
May seemed to have the same ideas crossing her minds. It just didn't seem likely that Kalco could've done so much in... so little time?
How much time DID pass since they first entered that demented time space?
"Well, anyways, the important thing is that we're here, and that's pretty much all that counts for the moment. What we need to do now is-"
"Nothing..." Minasia whispered, her eyes blank, her mind deep in her thoughts, though it still lignered with May some bit.
"PARDON? WE can't just stay here like sitting ducks while-"
"They expect us to move. To do something. To be desperate to do something to stop whatever it is we're up against. Problem is, we don't know what it is we're supposed to do in the first place, do we?"
Obviously, as she turned to the slowly walking Sarae, Minasia's last few words were a question to her intent. If anyone knew WHAT they were supposed to do, it would be she, Minaesia figured.

((I was going to, but since Sora posted after it, I thought I probably shouldn't change my post. So I just left it.))
Sarea shook her head. "You have to do something Minasia. That is the whole point. None of this would have happened if nobody had done anything. There are basically two choices. Black and white. If you don't do anything, the lands will go into darkness forever. The Written Will shall no longer be in rightful hands and the worlds shall perish in eternal doom. The other option, if you do something - anything even - than the world has Hope. And Hope is all you need sometimes.." she trailed off, her eyes locking with Sora's. "However, what you do is entirely up to you. All of you must decide on a path together. However you wish to go about it, the road not normally traversed would be a better option. More of a suprise and better, if a little more challenging."

Kalco nodded towards Terra. It's complicated. I'll explain later.He turned to Sarea. "That path is the path I regularly take, so it will be no troble for me."

Sarea smiled. "That may be so, but I assure you, even the easy path in this is much harder than you would expect of it. Not all is what it appears to be. But there is one thing, set in stone. The Will must be rescued at all costs. The land may fall and burn, the people may perish, but above all, no matter what, you must protect, safeguard and retrieve the Will."

Minasia's heart churned at the mention of the Will... And at all the rather BAD memories and thoughts that came along with it. Not to mention the possibility of all the ordeals and silly little wars they'd have to go through....
May seemed to think the same as the two shot each other stares full of comprehension; they had finally understood what being who they wre implied...
Wars, hatred, controversy, blood, meaningless deaths...
THIS is what they had agreed to at their birth... No, in fact, this was all decided for them from the beginning; they only confirmed who they were...
"Okay~. So, we have to find the Will. Yet we don't even know WHAT the Will is, and have to ignore the taking of innocent lives. Why does that NOT make ANY sense in my head?!"
May paced around nervously; no, she didn't like this idea at all. Killing, be killed, or see death. Three bad choices they were faced with.
Honestly, she would've prefered the 'be killled' option, but hey... She had a mission and job, didn't she?
"May, calm down... And PLEASE, don't look at this with such a... NEGATIVE look. It's depressing..." Minae sighed, letting her head hang back.

"Wrong." Sarea stated, matter-of-factly, "You do know the Will. Or will know. Or have known. It is all the same. If you concentrate, you will find it. For the Will wills the be found. As to the taking of innocent lives, who can blame Death if it was their time to go? Everyone must go, in the end. In their end. There is a fate written for all of us, and there is no escapse from it. Ever. Every single day of this land has already been decided upon. Every action which may seem only occurred because of your decision has already been written. Every option has been explored, and only the one you will take will take place. It is how Fate works."

Terra looked around at the group, the main conversation being between Sarea and May. It was all up to her draconic wisdom to end the quarrel peacefully....Is anybody else here tired? she projected, while yawning right in Sora's face. I could sure use a nap after that long day. And I'm sure Sora's parents will be glad to see him. Probably both worried sick for not writing, she finished, her body aching for rest, while Sora's face turned a bright red.
"Yep. They didn't let you out of the house for three years after you summoned me," Kalios said, reminiscing the days when he had to share a body. Negative reminiscence, but a reminiscence nonetheless. "So happy when you had Terra hatch for you, they were," he finished, as Sora simply with his mouth agape.
