Garthag was his back against the wall as the two came forth, he grinned and stepped forward. He was ready to activate a couple of protection spells should they prove violent, but held his hand because there could be a far more diplomatic solution out of this.

"The name is Garthag, a wandering mage who came upon a trace of teleportation magic.... thus out of curiosity I followed it and as you might guess I was attacked.."

He said with an innocent smile as some blood still dropped from his nose that he brushed away again.

"Really?" she asked with a bland smile "So any bit of unknown magic and you'll just follow it?" she gave a shorrt laugh. "How clever of you."

Garthag gazed quietly at her, but then let out an amused chuckle as he examined the blood on his hand.

"Well what would you know about magic Meiltha? You just rely on your dragons and steel, if you must"

He asked suddenly, clearly giving out that he knew more than he wanted to tell.

"Hmmm yes well." she was taken aback. Meiltha were very careful. Most peole belived that they were mages, in fact they relied on tricks and deceptions. Who was this Man, who obviousely did know about magic. She slotted the pin back into her hair. "I am Evlyn, of as you say, the Meiltha. Whatever i may or may not know about the Arts at least i know you don't folow unkown trasportaion maigic."

"Well.... you should always try to cover your tracks in the woods, should you not?"

Garthag asked, but never seemed to expect an answer as he gazed quickly at Kendath who had his falchion at hand. Garthag`s eyes had a certain degree of despisement for the rider, but then again he despised all of these riders. None of them had true goals in life, either day dreaming of destroying the gods or nothing at all.

"I ask you Meiltha, is that really neccessary?"

He said and nodded at the weapon of Kendaths.

"I don't believe in violence either," Kendath said in dry tones. "Unfortunately for you, the situation dictates it. Why are you trailing us?" And what's the interest you've taken in my dragon...

Garthag hmphed and reached back into the mind of Kalma, but he already received an answer as their thoughts were connected.

And you could not have ruined this all more efficiently?

Well I believe we can salvage what is left?

Tell them then

Garthag hmhed slightly to himself at Kalma`s answer and gazed at Kendath.

"Well should the fate of the world be in question then I came to believe that I have a word to say"

"Which is" she stepped foreward again eyeing him up carefully.

"Get the crystal, but do not use it upon the gods"

Garthag proposed with a cunning smile.

"And why the hell would we want to do that Mage...and what do you get out of it?"

"Power upon this realm?"

He said with childish smile and shrug as, if he opposed no threat to anyone.

She gave a sarcastic intrested smile. "So we risk the mountain, the gods and the Renagades, secure the Star Crystal, and then give it to you." she sneered, "Like hell we would."

"Whoever said you would give it to me? But together we could easily harness it`s powers for something else than smiting the gods and please seriously you cannot think to replace the gods yourselves in any manner. Thus... why waste it in destroying the gods?"

Garthag asked trying to prove a point that destroying the gods was a fools errand.

"Who siad we were replacing them. Chaos would rule the world as he did before the Gods came, we would be his subordinates...what greater power can you give me than that." she did not notice she had dropped the plural.

Garthag tsked loudly at her plans and shook his head.

"Chaos? I must admit that I would have expected something more clever of you two or four, if we count your dragons"
