Xion for the moment wasn't interested in what was going on, he was too busy doing what he'd been doing.  Getting the ox meat preserved to serve up later as something to snack on or the like; afterall it would seem like they were going to be going at this for a while if they were coming into the realms of the damnable elves.  "It would seem a good idea to get moving.  I'd agree with that." he said and continued waht he was doing for a bit and soon finished, putting it all away  and stood up.  "First of all, we kind of need to figure out just which way this bloody shard is." Xion pointed out as he stretched his somewhat cramped left shoulder out.  He didn't react openly to Malak's arrival and just perked a brow but said nothing.<br/><br/>"I don't like floundering around without a sense of direction." he muttered and waited for them to get up and decide which way they more than likely had to go, but he was about to follow Nekar's lead and head toward the elven settlements to cause a little pandemonium himself.  Maybe if he could set a few of their precious villages aflame it'd mean less interference later on. But right now it was important to find out just where precisely they had to head.  "Well if you've been getting instructions through that little earring of yours Gandrian..." He said , tailing the traitor for a little bit.  "Did the king mention any specific direction we need to head to find that first one I kinda wasn't there for the briefing. He only called me in after you left." he pointed out with a sigh.<br/><br/>"These trees such such a pain to navigation though. Mind if I burn the lot of them down?" Xion smirked some with a very sinister appearance to it like he relished the thought of causing others harm and pain, specially elves.  He bore a deep hatred of them afterall, all except one and he didn't know where the hell that woman was, but he wagered Antioch, that stupid mystical elf knew.<br/><br/><i>It'll be so much fun torturing her for the information.  But perhaps it would've been better to just get up and fly above the trees to see if I can see the destination from the air.  Gandrian seems to have the navigational skills and sense of direction to that of a common garden rock.  Until I can find an opportunity to fling him off a cliff though, I'll just have to listen to the idiot.</i>Xion though as he waited for the response from their so-called "leader".<br/><br/><i>And what was up with that warlock.  I can practically smell the magical energy he's carrying around. Almost like he's trying to contain some kind of massive explosion behind that calm demeanor of his. He might actually prove to be useful to these endeavors though, I'll have to keep an eye on that one; he's the only one here that might actually rival me in magic.</i>
