Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tessaru stood on one of his highest mountains overlooking his lands. Something was wrong, he could feel it. Darkness from the night was engulfing the outer borders of his territory and he felt the need to fly a bit more before it became pitch black. He took to the sky and soared past the mountains to his home. Where he curled up in. his cave and tried to sleep.

The Keywork was diminishing. The magical barriers around her home were fading in and out of power, a flux that greatly disturbed Hylexia. She cast this spell and that, recast, uncast, tinkered with it, and eventually gave up on it. Her spells had been spastic in their nature lately, some not casting at all. Maybe this could be said for all dragons, but she wouldnt know if it could. Hylexia the White preferred the solitary frost of the ice to any company, mortal or otherwise. Her bone white scales quivered in irritation, as she stretched her wings and released another blast of winter breath into the caves mouth, which she had sealed up long ago. The frigid nova added another impossibly thick layer of ice to the wall she had constructed to keep intruders out, supposing they could get passed the Keywork Fence. Crawling into the depths of her cavernous lair, she settled in a chmber of rock and ice, the atrium of her magic and life. Settling down and curling into position, she fell into a sleep, from which she could watch the world from her dreams...

Khellendros let out a deep mirth full growl as he began to stand, his work with the portals had proved fruitless. He had yet to even create a new portal, every atempt he had made had proved useless. He felt the magic surrounding his dessert wanning and even fading in areas.

He heard tessaru's call and let out an aggitated growl as he stood to his full 100 ft hight. He let out an angered hiss wondering why his alarm spells had not alerted him to the pressance of another dragon. He then examined the barrier feeling tessaru's connection to magic and used it to guide himself out to the other dragon.

Khellendros let out a vierment Hiss of anger seeing tessaru. "What do you want?" he growled not in a very good mood about the whole situation. His magic was failing and he felt the barrier spiked overloading itself and fadeing from sight. He felt threated by this disturbance and wondered what would bring lord tessaru to him. Half of him wanted to ripp tessaru to peices for his territory, the other half wanted to find out why tessaru was here in the first place. He decided to let his logic dictate his descision and that was to find out why tessaru was here in the middle of his territory.

Her dreams plagued her. Hylexia lived the visions of havoc and extinction, chaos wrought by an unknown scourge to not only dragon kind, but to all the races. Something that plotted for centuries, but would strike before years end. That was the only thing that was certain. Well...not the only thing. The other truth made the white brood and contemplate peacelessly. The Keywork must fall, it was time to open her lair and fight, she must remove her sanctity and take place in these events. She may have been egocentric and self centered, but she was not that foolish. To stay here would be to die. All four Dragon Lords must unite to defeat the growing power. Tessaru would come to the call, but Khellendros might object, as Hylexia would had she that choice. But no one had heard from the Lord of The West in centuries. Hylexia didnt even know the name. It was a shadowy, blurred figure in her visions. With a last resolve, she started unraveling the magic that bound the Fence in place...

A craggy, iced wasteland spread out before Hylexia. Her wings sped her on her way to the mountainous realm of Tessaru, logic telling her that she must gain an ally before she could make an enemy. Khellendros was more likely to attack first, then ask why she had came only when they were both in a death-grip plummeting towards the Earth. That would be disastrous. With Godspeed the silhouettes of the mountains came into view against the setting sun. The white bellowed a call as she soared between mountain peaks, calling for the Lord of the North. But alas no answer came, and she turned to the East, towards the dessert plains of Khellendros.

"Don't go thinking i wouldn't ripp you to shreds if i had a choice in the matter." Khellendros retored in a low and menacing growl, looking at tessaru with his feice blue eyes. He sniffed the air catching a cold scent from his dessert his eyes glowed blue breifly before the light faded, one of his spawn had seen hylexia approaching his domain. "Hylexia must have noticed this problem as well." Khellendros grumbled turning towards his cave his tail swishing over tessaru's head.

Hylexia sped towards Khellendros' secluded domain, and noted with surprise, not one, but two dragons were positioned in it. Tessaru was here, thats why she hadnt answered the calls the white had sent out. The heat was a bit stifling, Hylexia's alabaster scales were unaccustomed to the arid climate of mountains and deserts. She circled and descended into the midst of the other two Dragon Lords, making the event notable in the fact it was the first time that this many Lords of the Skies had ever convened in many, many centuries. Hylexia was not an excessively large dragon, being slightly dwarfed by Khellendros' size, and Tessaru's longer streamlined body. She bore to them the grave news.
"My magic, has failed. The Keywork has been undone, and there is something i urge you to come see. There is an intruder in our lands, youve felt it too, judging by the circumstances of this meeting. Men havent noticed it yet, and the other races are too absorbed in themselves to care. The elves are as always plotting to prove their supremacy and shut themselves off. The Dwarves are delving into the depths of the Earth, and lack the foresight to acknowledge this danger. But i must ask you, my fellows, that we may lay aside our qualms, and raise the Empire, unifying our strengths. I believe, if we are to beat this, we must fly under a single banner in unity. Are you willing to do that, siblings of the Skies?"
She drew an unpleasant silence from her speech, and hoped that she would not be reproached for her entry. If they were here together on a personal vendetta, Hylexia might have made a grave mistake, she couldnt hope to fight both at once, having the disadvantage of both size, and lack of proper exercise. She had spent most of the past several hundred decades sleeping, watching. Her body wasnt in condition to fight. She prayed this would go over well...
