Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bane was on the back of Cakren, soaring through the clouds in the Beor mountain range. He was speaking quickly in the ancient language, weaving a spell to gather the clouds around him. The clouds fell quickly into formation and covered Cakren and himself. Perfect, he thought. The spell went well. The energy it took was barely any today because it was cloudy. It might kill him to do it over the Hadarac desert.

What he wanted was some way to conceal himself as he flew. For in the Beors he couldn't fly high enough to get away from the Loyal dragon eyes. This way he appeared another cloud to anyone who couldn't stretch out their mind. Succeful in his attempt at the spell he told Cakren to fly back to the hideout. They landed soundlessly in the opening made in mountain. It was much like the one atop Tronjheim save smaller. Cakren bolted back out the entrance after Bane stepped down. He wouldn't get into trouble.

The next thing to think about was how to best gather forces. The Riders were better than any other race; so why were they so stubborn?

Geden&&Gartia

'Home sweet home...' The sarcastic comment dashed across the mental link between Geden and Gartia so that only the dragon could hear. Yes... our home does seem to lack a certain... warm, welcoming quality doesn't it? Gartia responded. After a quick remark good bye, Gartia flew up into his roost while Geden descended down into the tunnels. Geden's heightened hearing picked up the faint rustling of pages inside the library. He entered the room to see Bane hunched over a pile of scrolls and tomes. "Atra esterni ono thelduin, Bane-Elda." Geden said as he waved slightly. "You seem troubled, having trouble deciphering the ancient language?" he teased. Though he was young, Geden was the most powerful in magic of the four in The Four. It came from the combined effects of having a dragon on his side to give him strength, and having the strength of an elf. Geden loved it. He never passed down the chance to prove his prowess in magic, even if it meant making the other three seem weaker.
