Sorcerer's Destruction

[Nohiki]

"Man, planning is easy. But intil they are like five, you have to feed them, teach them, stuff... Oh that really spoils it." she said, slightly discouraged. "Challenge accepted." she said.

[Kauria]

Triumphantly, Ourias tumbled into the clearing by Ivy's cave, his face covered in scratches and the sling across his chest brimming with herbs. He hummed patiently to himself by the mouth of the cave, a garland of daisies draped over his horns swaying gently. "Ivy! Iskander! You there?" he called.

[Awesomoman]

"We've stopped a disease that could have killed off the world and we're currently fighting a war with less than half of the men we need, so why does the thought of raising kids seem like the hardest thing? Oh well we'll have plenty of time later, right now." He pointed ahead of them to the den. "We've reached our destination. Hope we get to do that again soon...not the transporting weapons from a cave of traps thing but, you know what i mean."

[Nohiki]

"Ey! You! In front of the cave!" shouted Phoenicia, seeing somebody in there, "How you been and what's new?" she asked. "Eh, don't hurry. We've got circa 180 years in front of us. I don't wanna risk it getting old. Besides, the trapcave was kinda fun. And look where it got us." she thought to Gorn.

[Awesomoman]

"You are very true, but i doubt it will ever get old with you." He thought back. "Ourias, what happened to you? Never mind, where is everybody?"

[Morty]

"Okay, okay." huffed Nive, running alongside her.
They ran for hours until they reached the foot of the mountain. "Up there!" said Nive suddenly, pointing to a cave set high in the cliff above. "They'll never be able to track us up a cliff that steep."

[Kauria]

"I've been helping Ivy!" Ourias piped. "And I think they're in the cave. I just got back, though." He gestured with a wing towards the entrance. "What's going on? You seem less worried than you did earlier."

"Fine, have your ice dragon," Haleth laughed, turning on the wind to swoop past Minara. "I wasn't that interested anyhow."
With the moment of action apparently over, he returned to his patrol path, flapping higher into the snowy air. A flicker of orange to the south caught his attention, and he spiralled closer, eagle eyes straining to pick out the shapes at the bottom of the slope.
There had been mention of a human outpost nearby, but this light was too close, too large.
A building on fire? he thought, puzzled. The falling snow thinned for a moment, providing a clearer view of the situation.
His beak parted, corners of his mouth turning up in as close to a grin as the gyrada could manage. "What an exciting night." He peeled away from his route.

[Awesomoman]

"Well, things are going a little better than before. We do have news, some good some bad but we'll get to that when everyone is present." Gorn walked over to the cave and shouted. "EVERYONE IN THERE! REPORT OUTSIDE ASAP!"

[Nohiki]

Phoenicia shut his mouth with just two fingers. "Where are your manners? What if they are trying to save a gutted dragon and need to focus? And don't you remember that What goes around comes around? Comes around twice as much in case of the old lady?" she barked.

[Awesomoman]

Gorn gently pushed her hand down. "I doubt they have a gutted dragon down there, but you are right about the old lady, i would not win a shouting contest with her." He walked over to the side of the cave and sat down waiting for them to come out.

[Morty]

Iskander raised his head groggily from his paws, peeking over his wing, nearly invisible for being covered in sand. He got up from the sandy hollow he'd claimed as a bed, sand pouring off his scales, and waved over at Gorn deliriously. "Hey, amir! Long time no see!" he laughed, hacking and spitting out sand. "How you been, maaaaaan?"

[Awesomoman]

"Isk!" Gorn got up and the two did their secret high five. "You seem a little off? Been getting in the fireweed or something? Anyway we've been trying to figure out a way to fight the wizards with almost nothing. What about you? Old Ivy been tough on you?"

[Morty]

"Naah, she's actually a pretty cool guy... girl... dragon. You got to try these painkillers she put me on, man." he grinned and poked his bandaged leg. "Don't even feel it. Anyways I was talking to Corvus and he says to me, I'll help you defeat the wizards on the condition that you set me free. I mean, if you guys stopped him before, why couldn't you do it again?" He wondered aloud. Asmodeus's whispy form rose from the ground and settled on his shoulder, tutting in disapproval.

[Awesomoman]

".....You're joking right?" Gorn said in disbelief. "Okay that is without a doubt the WORST IDEA EVER! Okay yeah we did beat him before but do you know how hard that was? We don't even have Fire anymore....I don't think i should have said that." Gorn quickly pulled Isk farther from Pho. "Look, you're trying to help but that...Thing, is responsible for the deaths of more than i can count. The last thing i want is to have to use him and let him do that all over again. See what im saying?"

[Morty]

"Yeah, I thought you would say that." said Iskander, ducking his head. "It would be very useful having a prince of Hell on your side though, wouldn't it? .......Wait a second! Uncle, you are a prince of Hell! Why don't you help get rid of the wizards?" he asked, suddenly aware of the gaudy spirit's presence on his shoulder. Asmodeus guffawed loudly, shaking his head.
"Isky, Isky, Isky, you know I can't afford to be politically incorrect at a time like this. If I went around killing whatever I pleased, why, I'd be no better than Corvus!" he exclaimed. "But then again I am a prince of Hell so why should I care? Oh yeah: eternal imprisonment."
Iskander nodded and ducked sheepishly. "Okay, you have a point." he sighed. "Well, I have no more ideas. What have you two been up to? ..And how long has it been? Feels like weeks. Probably the painkillers..."
