Quote Rosethorn:<br/>Iranem smiled sadly at Corbin. â€œI called to our family because one of our youngsters is missing.â€ She watched the startled and scared expressions of her family as they took in the news. â€œIt canâ€™t be.â€ She heard a voice say from the back. â€œSadly it is so, my grandson Ernem.â€ She stated plainly. Her magnificent head lowered to the smaller dragons height. â€œI believe he might still be alive.â€ She said a flicker of hope resounding in her voice. The dragons around her showed mixed emotions. Some accepted her words immediately some still looked shocked others showed signs of firm resolve. â€œItâ€™s the shadows I say.â€ She heard a young male mutter. A murmur of agreement rippled through the others surrounding him. â€œWe shall learn if that is so.â€ She said plainly.<br/><br/>â€œThe search begins now.â€ With that she turned tail and departed her large wings beating strongly against the pull of gravity and she was flying. High above the valley floor. She watched as others leapt off the cliffs but her daughter and a few others stayed behind to watch the other youngsters. Sighing she beat her large wings and pushed herself further away from the Cliffside. Her small seed of hope was firmly lodged in her mind now. The youngster would be found she thought, sweeping underneath the clouds slowly before arcing her neck and turning into a dive towards the valley floor.
