<span style="font-style: italic">Maelstromme listened to Lune's story quietly and gave him an soft and understanding nod when he fell silent. She knew his pain well. She and her sister Nadenne were the last of their house so the elder dragoness understood what he was going through.<span style="color: #4040FF"> "Let me say, that you are truly the pride of your clutch then Lune. You have overcome many obstacles to get here indeed." </span>She stated warmly.<br/><br/>She then turned her attentions to Tanith's question, raising her eye ridges in amusement. <span style="color: #4040FF">"I know as much as you do about the call that pulled me here. Being older, It is my duty to investigate such things to ensure that this was a legitimate place and no trap. I can tell you this, the pull to come here is a true one. The call is older than I have ever felt before, and that is all I can honestly tell you. Perhaps we can find out more together, eh?" </span><br/><br/><br/>She was about to say more when the ground literally exploded near them, and the equivalent of a large dragon puppy ran around in circles apparently pleased he had company, bounding over and nearly bowling the elder dragoness off her feet in his excitement. Before he could do so however Maelstromme was able to call her armament to herself and raise into the air just high enough that the brute wyvern did not do her serious injury. She looked at him with a mixture of incredulousness and amusement on her features as she literally pinned him with her paws, bringing him to a stop. <span style="color: #4040FF">"And hello to you too!"</span> she said in amusement.<br/><br/>She then took note of still two more younglings approaching her and introducing themselves with the excited nature that only children could have. She shook her massive armored head with a laugh.<span style="color: #4040FF"> "So many children indeed! It's as if you have never seen an aged dragon before. Perhaps one day I will learn all your stories in full, but for now hello and welcome to you too. For those I have not met yet, I am Maelstromme." </span>She stated in welcoming tones.</span>
