<span style="color: #00FF00">As the sky began to lighten up from black to deep blue as the sun started its ascent, Lysonna was awakened by someone entering her room. She rolled to the edge of her bed to reach for her bow and arrows without looking up to see who, but the voice stopped her.</span><br/><br/>"Let us leave, we should go speak with my leader," came the Paladin's voice.<br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">Lysonna laid back on her bed with a sigh, closing her eyes as if to will herself back to sleep. Her heart still pounding against her ribs at the scare of an intruder. The Elf's breathing soon evened out, but she was still reluctant to get up. She had dreaded this from the moment he had mentioned it.</span><br/><br/>Nymeri waited, impatiently, for the Lord's daughter to rise. He would protect her until his dying breath because it was his duty, and for reasons he did not want to admit even to himself. The Elven Paladin watched as she slowly pushed herself up into a sitting position, and then stood.<br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">"Let this be a quick and peaceful endeavor," she prayed quietly to her goddess. Then, raising her voice slightly, she said to Nymeri, "Lead the way."</span><br/><br/>~~~~~~<br/><br/>Skippy was still sleeping away peacefully in his room, completely unaware of what the others were up to.<br/><br/>~~~~~~<br/><br/><span style="color: #0000FF">Damien raised a brow curiously at what the man before him was saying. Clearly he was choosing his words carefully as if giving little information and with holding the rest. However, what he did mention was very interesting. To think he could meet a Dragon! Even though they lived on the same continent, Dragons were proud and arrogant, and kept to themselves. To hear of one so far from home was very intriguing. Elves as well, they had close to the same attitude as the dragons, and thought humans to be barbaric. A strange group indeed.<br/><br/>He allowed the man to walk a few yards ahead, as if hesitating. The Faerie wanted to be sure to show this somewhat kind stranger that he was no threat, despite being light on his feet. Damien found himself wondering why he hadn't flown back since he could easily follow. Thinking about his wings made him grimace. A partial concealment spell would be well appreciated!</span>
