Arkain sighs and nods looking at your shoulder rubbing it again. He can feel that his healing magic still not completely heal the wound. "I am afraid you are right. I tried but there is nothing else I can do. The rest is up to you. Perhaps your right. Time may be what you need to heal your soul. "<br/><br/>Arkain nods. "Yea, your clothes." Then he pauses and thinks. He shakes his head. "Darn you are right. I completely forgot that you took them off. Sorry about that. " He nods watching you jog away to find your clothes.<br/><br/>He looks over at Zearo. "Sorry about bothering you Zearo. I thought I might need your help to get him new clothes. I was going to see if you could do that but I forgot Marcus took them off. Sorry about that, Zearo." He gives Zearo a weak smile and turns away.<br/><br/>He starts to sniff the air and look around to see if the cat girl was still in the area or has moved on. He hopes she is still around. Bring back Marcus has made him very hungry and a snack would be nice right now. He knows he is going to need some extra energy to what he has planned next and for the trip ahead to save Vega.<br/><br/>He grins when you come flying back next to him. He nods listening to him. His expression gets sadder when you say you have to go someplace first. He watches you with great interest when you put a tiny metal plate on the ground and start to draw some intricate designs around it. He has never seen anything  like that before. He moves closer studying it carefully. He watches you fill your canteen then use the water carefully filling in all the lines. What ever it is he can tell it is something of great importance to you.<br/><br/>He nods listening to you explain about it. He nods and smiles. "Japan, huh? Interesting. That is one place I have not traveled too. I fully understand Marcus. Guia has told me stories Leyline Gates." He smiles  rubs your shoulder again. "Hey, if its important for you to get something in Aryion City that will help us with freeing Vega, then there is nothing complicated about it. You know exactly what needs to be done, so do it. I am fine with starting this part of the journey on my own, I really don't mind. It was what I was planning to do. Where ever he is being held, I plan to get there as fast I can and free him from that hell hole he is in. As for us, I know we will meet again and hopefully together help free Vega."<br/><br/>Arkain looks at you quite surprised when you come over and put your hands on his cheeks looking him straight in the eyes. He nods listening to you. He looks back at you seriously. "I understand. Don't worry, my friend. I am aware of that. I plan to be very cautious and I will study the situation before I jump into anything. Don't worry, I have been on assignments like this before.  Being a healer is just one small part of what I do as a guardian. You will be amazed what one determined lizard with the right resources can do."<br/><br/>He leans forward and kisses you on the lips and puts his hand under your chin and looks at you confidently. "  We will free Vega, I am confident of it.You have made a friend in a very high place. You made quite an impression on Guia. I just need to create a clone of myself. I can't leave my waterhole unattended can I. Too many are counting on me to watch over them. Don't worry I have done this before."<br/><br/>He rubs his neck and a silver scale starts to shine. He closes his eyes and focuses . The scale shines brighter then in an instant another exact duplicate of Arkain appears next to him asleep on the ground. "A dragon friend named Ryu gave me one of his silver scales. It has a variety of powers, one is it allows me to make an exact copy of myself just these situations. He is a not a clone, he is a perfect duplicate of me in every sense."<br/><br/>He gives you a hug and steps back. "So you had better get going. The sooner you go, the sooner we will be together again. There may be a guest there that may need to be initiated. I need to check into that before I go then I will be on my way. You be careful, OK? I look forward to seeing you when you get back." He gives you a wink and smiles waiting to watch to see what happens when you step on the circle.
