The Disease

[Nohiki]

Fireheart noticed something about Oltyth. "If you feel like you have to punch me, go on, but you will not like the outcome." he thought for a sec, "Well, thats the plan. If you don't like idea of leaving, you have to do better helping us then playing with stones. Or you can stay here and die. You choose. About visiting God of death... He isn't that horrible. And as i said i have a surprise. Nasty surprise." He turned aroud: "Well, let's move." he said and created two warps, forming force field around one to prevent the wolf-guy be sucked in. He pointed at the other one: "This one leads to the death temple. Gorn, try to ask the puppy to find out if Chaos is in there." When the first portal sucked wolf (OT: Dark said Wolf is being sucked to my magic all the time, so if there is an exception let me know and i'll modify ), he lowered the force field. "Dina, if you don't mind go with them, i must have there somebody i can rely on. Please." He turned back to Oltyth: "And i am going to Jana springs and i'd like you to come by." he asked.

Oltyth glowered at Fireheart for a moment, then fingered the pouch around his throat.
"Fine. I'll come. But it's not like I have much of a choice." He stepped cautiously through the portal, and only swayed a little when he emerged. When Fireheart exited, he asked, "What are we going to do here?"

[Nohiki]

Fireheart surrounded their noses with force fields. "This area was hit by the disease first, Don't ask me why, but i must retrieve one thing from the refuge cave Blaze's group used few years ago. Watch out where are you stepping and you'll be fine. Also keep your eye on waters, they may be polluted, and you can see if you can find ill plant you asked. If it attacks them, here is the place where we can find out." he said walking towards the cave.

[Kauria]

"Hmph. The waters look clear to me." Oltyth stalked through the hot springs, dodging the occasional bursts of steam.
Strange... he thought as he inspected the soil. With these conditions, plants should be flourishing. The volcanic soil is rich enough, and the water is pure, straight from the heart of the planet. He peered into the nearest geyser and got a faceful of steam.
But still, that doesn't mean anything's wrong. This is Fire Clan territory, after all.
Oltyth continued his prowl around the empty slopes. Nothing...
He whipped around and bounded back to the edge of the springs, where the forest began.
Or should begin...

[Nohiki]

Fireheart came down the cave and found a rock pillar with a necklace covered by dust. Time had taken the writing under it, and only few letters remained there. He took the necklace and sweeped it of all dust. Hanging it on his neck he came out, took off and searched for Oltyth, but his eye suddenly saw the forest near the village, and it seemed unharmed. "either the flames destroyed all of the disease, or it really does nothing to plants." he said for himself and continued his search.

[Kauria]

Oltyth sighed and sat back on his haunches. While some of the forest had been destroyed by the fire, most of it remained intact. He swept the ash off the leaves of a nearby tree and inspected them. They were slightly blotchy, but that was to be expected in a land of fire. I guess that plants aren't hurt by the sickness, after all, he thought sadly. As much as I want to stop the death disease, that was my only excuse to do so. If I continue to help the others, I'll seem too agreeable...
A distant rumble of thunder jolted him from his thoughts. It looks like it's going to rain soon... he thought, looking up at the pale gray clouds. Oltyth inhaled through his nostrils. The air inside the force field was getting stale. Better go find Fireheart, anyhow.

[Nohiki]

"There you are." noticed Fireheart and landed. "Do you want to stay here longer or did you decide if it attacks plants?" He asked, looking at the sun. They had about 3 hours before the night falls. "If you are done, i want to ask you if you know about anything, any place or anyone that night help us. I think we still have some time before others are done at the temple." he asked.

Wolf was getting tired of being sucked into those holes. Being dragged backwards into one was no exception. Clawing the ground, Wolf whirled through the portal and was hurled out the other end. He was in another cave, this one dark and sinister instead of the last one. But he recognized this place. Cowering on the floor as the small dark dragon appeared, the portal vanished by the dark one's will. It pointed at him, and howling, Wolf blacked out.......

[Kauria]

Oltyth shrugged. "I couldn't find anything to prove that plants are affected by the illness. However, there aren't as many plants as there should be, considering the quality of the environment." He thought for a moment. "I'm afraid I don't know anyone who could help us, unless you count my grandfather. He's more stubborn than a mountain, and I'm not really on the best of terms with him right now."

[Nohiki]

"Well... Sounds like that will be more work than profit. We might as well go back then. The lack of species variety may still be caused by Blaze's group that was stationed here, they used a lot of them... If you mean that there is not much forest left, i fear the trees were used to rebuild the Fire fortress. That is why i left, because the landscape got decimated. Well, let's go back to the energy peak to see if they departed safetly, if they did i must go pick them up, but if you don't like portals you may stay there." he said and blue wormhole formed in front of him. He jumped trough. What he saw on the other side didn't make him happy. "What happened to the wolf guy? Why are you here and he's not?"

[Kauria]

"Ugh, I'm coming. Rather get travel sickness than stay here for the night." He stumbled through the portal and blundered out the other side, nearly bumping into Fireheart. "What's wrong?" he asked, looking from Dinara to Gorn to Fireheart.

(OOC: I'm assuming that's who stayed behind. I'll edit it if it's different.)

[fireglade]

Kohta poped through the portal. He was exhausted. Time traveling was most definetly not a favorite of his. He was so tired that he collapsed right where he was. But when he opened his eyes he saw to dragons. "Please, help me." He called out. All went black.

[Kauria]

Oltyth withdrew in disgust as the dark blue dragon flopped from the portal and fell on the ground.
"Who is that?"

[Nohiki]

"Not my work!" said Fireheart quickly, "But good question?" he said pointing his sight towards the intruder.

[fireglade]

"Please, help me." Kohta awoke. "I was sent here my my instincts. I feel as if i'm in a different time. Can you please help me? I need to know whats going on." He took one step toward the two dragons.
