Ghyreian was both weary and frustrated and in no desire for company. Silver eyes flashing, she whirled on Gwyn.

"Why don't you tell me." Her contemptuous temper flared. "I never remember asking you to come along. Ah, yes," she added with a sneer, "you wanted to help us."

She was growing tired of venting on Gwyn, so she decided to hiss at Edwin in turn. "And I need to inform you of nothing. What am I - your servant? I come and go as I please, so to Nuitari with your sniveling curiousity!"

Breathing hard, she spun and strode off into the night. A few moments later her cry of exclamation mingled with relief drifted back to them.

The cave before her (which by the way is the same cave Tanis and company stayed at the beginning of Autumn Twilight) was filled to the brim with the stench of venom that could only be chlorine gas.

Edwin smiles slightly as he too oput his pipe and light it hardly since he had no left arm from the wrist, but he had learned to manage. Better that than livng in a lie not to mention under another influence really. Edwin looked at Gwhyn with an amused smile.

"She tries to be independent, but she`ll need others in her life as hard it seems to be admit... and I think we will need you in order for Cyan to go down..."

Edwin left the scene backtowards the inn with a pondering face.

What then when they would find Cyan? What would be their odds against the dragon? 2 mages and an elf versus a green dragon?

"This confirms my suspicions," Ghyreian murmured at firstmeal the next morning. The sun had not yet risen, but they had shaken Otik up to open the bar for breakfast. The Inn was empty save for the three of them. Ghyreian breathed deeply and rubbed the fatigue from her face. It was the first time she had shown weakness in front of Gwyn.

She sighed and continued, "Cyan Bloodbane has indeed flown over Solace and the Schallsea Isles and is headed west, for Ergoth."

"That means we need a ship..."

Edwin continued the thought as he burned his pipe, he leaned back in his chair.

"I heard that all of the elves are there on Ergoth.... or something like that... quite a conflict as you might presume... "

Ghyreian was not fond of drink, but upon being reminded of her elven heritage she quickly drained the rest of her wine and slammed it on the table with such ferocity it nearly broke. Casting a scathing glare at Gwyn for no apparent reason, she rose from the table.

"Our horses are in the stable," she snapped. "I'll go get them."

Gwyn said nothing and tapped her fingers on the table. She was still thinking...why was she helping them find the dragon orb?

(Sorry had nothing else good to type...lol)

Edwin put his pipe away and followed Ghyreian to the horses, he jumped on his and they were all soon off on the road. Edwin rode on quietly looking straight forwards without a word.

Ghyreian seems to be quick to anger, she never seemed like that earlier perhaps or haven`t I just thought of it? Was the seeing of her homeland ripped and torn without salvation too shocking, but she would never admit such petty feelings... whatever it is she seems edgy...

They rode on without speaking. All of their reserves had risen. The sun was out and shining, but between the three of them lightning could have crackled.

They traveled for a full day, pausing only to eat a few rations. They stopped after dark to make camp. Edwin and Gwyn began setting up as Ghyreian watered and brushed down their horses. She then sat down, pulled out the map of Abanasinia.

"We are here," Ghyreian said, pointing at an area northwest of Solace. "North of the mountains. We are bound for here." She moved her finger to a port south of the Straights of Schallsea. "That port is Zaradene, and if we move quickly enough we should get there by tomorrow night."

Edwin looked at Ghyreian quickly with his pipe again in his mouth, Edwn thought it as a bad habbit of his, but he was clearly addicted since it seemed to calm him down.

"We`d better hope that the war hasn`t reached that place or we will be not the most popular party there for either sides..."

"The war has reached everywhere," Ghyreian said without expression. She shrugged. "We'll find a way to enter. I've had to sneak into worse places... Sanction, for one."

She nibbled on a dry loaf of bread thoughtfully.

Edwin bursted out a small laughter and quickly blew some smoke out some that he wouldn`t choke.

"Why am I not surprised my dark friend?"

Ghyreian managed an icy smile. Her mind wandered back to Silvanesti. "There is yet much you do not know about me, my friend," she said softly. She met Edwin's eyes, then averted her gaze again. "Were you to know how much innocent blood I have on my hands, I doubt you would call me your 'dark friend' any longer."

She turned mocking eyes to Gwyn. "But then again, some of us wouldn't be surprised now, would we?"

She gestured at the bedrolls. "I'll take first watch."

Edwin sat on under a tree and leaned on it burning his pipe.

"Whatever you say... I don`t judge you for the amount your have killed even how innocent they were, I am no white robe so I just stick to what I ever seen best my friend..."

Ghyreian kept watch the first few hours as Edwin and Gwyn rested. Left alone with nothing but her thoughts for company, she brooded silently. Of late she had been in particularily ill humor - both from lack of sleep and mention of Silvanesti.

Deciding that it would get better before it got worse and that she really did need her sleep if she was going to battle a dragon, she woke Edwin up and told her it was her watch. After informing him harshly that the "worthless elfmaid" needed her turn at sentry as well, she collapsed on her bedroll and sank into the first dreamless sleep she'd had in days.

Edwin woke up to Ghyreian and got up, he sat down by the fire wth his staff leaning on his shoulder and his pipe in his mouth. He stared into the fire in his thoughts, they all were bothered about the future and what it would bring. Ghyreian wasn`t clearly accepting Gwhyn with them, he himself was just too busy pondering about the up coming fight, if they did get that chance since the war had reached every corner of Krynn.

Gwhyn seemed oddly quiet, but who wouldn`t after seeing their homeland ruined like that al tough Edwin never really had a homeland like the elves he travelled with. Edwin looked around cautiously as the hours dwelled and it was Gwhyn`s watch. Edwin shook her shoulder.

"It`s your turn..."

Edwin sat down against the tree, but didn`t yet go to sleep, but read his spellbook trough to rememorize the spells.
