Vadskye had returned to the Order Fort in the time that the events had taken place. He sought out his Book and found a healing spell. Although Life magic had never been his particular area of expertise, he was still able to stitch himself up. He needed time to heal, but unfortunately time he did not have. He had to return to the caves. Caves again. Vadskye had never liked caves, but he didn't really have a choice. His friends were in there. Well, friends might not be the right word. Allies, at least. They might become friends someday though. Vadskye had gone absent during a crucial period, and he felt that weight keenly. Using a simple tracking spell, Vadskye located the trio that was all that really stood in the way of the destruction of the world. Vadskye considered the odds and almost commited suicide on the spot. Still, they had to keep trying. History was replete with long-shot victories. Perhaps they might actually win. Or maybe not. Suddenly, Vadskye came to a halt. He had reached the caves while he was pondering and, following the tracking signal, descended into the caves to search for his friends/allies. Perhaps they might win...
OOC: I'm back now and I'm not leaving on any more long trips for a while! The plot's coming to a climax, and I'm not gonna miss it!

*It had been about a day since the trio of heroes left the town that had become their safehaven. As they traveled this long forgotten path, each remembered significant points that had eventually brought them all together. Soon enough they approached the edge of the Great Forest and found through the thickets an old worn cave entrance. It's entry way still charred black from Mighty Mage's last visit. Memories lied within this cave...more than anyone cared to think about. Most of all Mighty Mage. He could remember it all now. The rush of pain that flew through his body as somthing took over. A force that was unknown until that moment. It soon became a blur until Mighty Mage opened his eyes to see a mage standing over him. He wore dressings that were unfamilier. In his hand was a staff with a golden clock at one end and a blade at the other. The blade was above Mighty Mage. He was about to die. There was nothing he could do...then he heard voices.....Mighty Mage.....MM.....WAKE UP!*
Mighty Mage: Huh...wha?
Dean: What happened to you man? We get to this cave and you pass out. Are you afraid of the dark of somthing?
*Demios let out a snicker at that one*
Mighty Mage: No, not afraid. Just bad memories catching up with me I guess.
Dean: Are you sure this is the way?
Demios: Yes, and if the Mighty Mage is too afriad I'll take the lead.
Mighty Mage: No you won't. Last time we were in here you ended up rushing ahead and getting lost. We'll follow the path I left behind. It will take us directly to the trail leading to camp. Keep an eye out though. Dingo's spamlings may still be wandering around these areas.
Demios: Hey, lights up ahead. You think it's Vadskye?
Dean: It could be. Let's find out.
*Suddenly Dean's eyes lit up and a portal opened releasing an owl*
Dean: Go and see what is up ahead.
Demios: How will that bird help?
Dean: Strangely enough I can understand it. After talking as one for so long I guess their language stuck with me.
Mighty Mage: Good boy Dean.
Dean: Don't even start that again. I had enough of that when the angel was still around.
Demios: Stupid angel. He deserved to die.
Mighty Mage: Shut up Demios. No one deserves to die. Everyone serves his or her purpose and Gorman's was obviously on the darker side of things. Let's not dwell on the bad though. If it wern't for him I may not have ever found the town RSF was dwelling in. I certainly wouldn't have met up with Dean and neither of us would have been able to stop the Unholy One all those times.
*At this the Owl returned carrying a scroll in its tallons. Carefully grabbing it, Dean opened it up and showed it to Mighty Mage. It was a piece of parchment bearing the symbol of the Royal Order. Finally, help had arrived.*
Dean: Hello. Who goes there?
Mage: I am Dervol of the Royal Order. Who is it that requests our names?
Mighty Mage: I am called Mighty Mage and am also a member of the Royal Order with my friend Dean. We have requested that help be sent in dealing with this unforseen evil.
Mage 2: Your help has been sent. We shall meet up with you shortly.
Dean: (to Mighty Mage) Women. Hmmmmmm.
*As the two mages approach, the light emmiting from their staffs glows brighter.*
Dervol: Show your badges so we may confirm who you say you are.
*Dean reaches into his cloak and retrievs a metallic badge bearing his name and the symbol of the Royal Order. Mighty Mage reaches behind him and pulls out his staff. Attached to it is his identification badge.*
Dervol: So you are the 'Dean' who sent us the letter?
Dean: Yes. Mighty Mage sent a letter as well. Did you recieve it?
Mage 2: Yes. Dervol was sent befor me until the Garurdian's Core recieved his letter. I was then sent and caught up with her at an inn on the way. The Innkeeper spoke of you Mighty Mage. He said you came shortly after you had been robbed.
Mighty Mage: Yes. I remember that. Several months ago when I first began my journey.
Mage 2: By the way, I am Kaylianna, but you may call me Kay. I believe I remember seeing you at the Council Building a number of times. Arn't you the one they sent to settle the war in this area?
Mighty Mage: Yes I am. By the time I got here it had already been somwhat settled. There was little for me to do until I found out about a certain Time Wizard's plans.
Kay: Ahhhh, yes. We heard of this RSF.
Dervol: So where are you three heading?
Dean: Actually in the direction you came from.
Demios: Yeah. Move it already.
Dervol: Is this Demon your prisoner?
Mighty Mage: Unfourtionatly no. He is our traveling partner for the time being.
Kay: Really? Wow. I've never seen a Demon before.
Demios: I am not a Demon. I am a magog. We are more powerful than puny demons. And I am greater than most Magogs. I can throw ice as well as fire.
Kay: Interesting. So are you three heading for that building in the south?
Mighty Mage: We sure are. Care to join us?
Dervol: This is not the time for jokes. If we are going there than we should head out as quickly as possible. I have a bad feeling about this cave.
Dean: I believe MM knows the way. He was leading us there.
Dervol: Than we shall follow. Kay, go up front with him and provide us light. Your Staff gives off more energy than mine.
Kay: Will do.
*So the three became five and continued their journey to find Vadskye. Hopfully he had made it to the Order Fort safely. Hopfully our heroes would make it there safely as well.*

Vadskye entered the cave in front of him. With the many twists and turns, he was soon completely lost but he trusted his tracker. Vadskye felt sleepy, but he continued on. Finally he lay down to rest, assuring himself that he would find them the next day. Vadskye awoke feeling refreshed. He reactivated his tracker and continued through the darkness. Finally he came to the mouth of the cave. As he watched, MM came around a corner, and Vadskye lit a magical light to let MM know he was there. As he watched, however, MM collapsed to the ground. Vadskye was about to run and help him, but he was suddenly thumped on the head with the sudden appearence of a letter. As Vadskye puzzled over where it came from, MM recovered from his faint. Dean saw Vadskye's light and sent an owl to determine what it was. Vadskye help up the letter to the sunlight only to have it snatched away by the owl, who must have thought Vadskye was giving it to him. Vadskye watched in amazement as two figures appeared out of nowhere when MM and Dean read the scroll. After some conversation, they seemed to agree to continue. It looked like the two newcomers had joined their party. When they started to come towards the cave where he was, Vadskye stepped out from behind his rock.
Vadskye: *with an exaggerated bow* "Greetings and salutations."
Dean: "Vadskye!"
Vadskye: "Who else?"

The time mage takes a look at his country house on the edge of the town. Ironically it’s the only building from the entire village that isn’t inside the giant city that rose from the ground. However, RSF realizes that he can think of no real use for that village anymore. It had served his purpose and he was now on to greater things.
RSF: “The forest is just beyond this mansion.”
Tytan: “Forest look dark.”
Grathemel: “This is the same cursed forest that was there thousands of years ago. We had a base here too.”
RSF: “Our fort is in the center. It was originally designed to be guarded by spamlings, however I think it could be arranged to suit demons just as well.”
The time mage leads on continuing to scratch at his neck. The mole has become a large spot of black skin a few inches in diameter, spreading more and more every minute. As they entered the cursed forest, RSF became overwhelmed with an itching sensation. The black skin covered his entire backside. Giant lumps formed in seconds. They looked random holding no shape at first, but soon what looked like a face as well and arms began to form. During this ordeal, the time mage lost all control over his time trap spell and the horsemen appeared at the edge of the forest. They weren’t sure what exactly happened, but they knew it was best to find their way back to the mausoleum.
Motherdark: “My children.”

The arrival of my fellow mages took me aback. Kaylianna I didn't know, but Dervol I did. She was in my Illusion and Mirage class back at the academy. I don't think she recognised me, I was a bit skinnier back then, and too intent on my studies to make any lasting friends.
I remembered her as being a fun girl, who was always smiling and laughing, but she seemed to have grown into a serious young woman - all protocol and stern coolness.
As MM chatted to Kaylianna and Deimos and Vadskye spoke, I tried to strike up a conversation with Dervol to see if she remembered me.
'So', I said to her. 'Did the Council have any specific ideas as to how we're supposed to end this threat?'
She gave me a look, like one would stare at a strange bug crawling up your wall.
'No', she said. 'We were told to find you and assess the situation. And send word back to the Order of our progress if any. And my first missive will be saying that of the two Guardians that represent the Council, you have not only managed to lose your crystals, but that they are in the possession of the very man that freed the Forsaken Ones. In fact the only crystal that you managed to hang on to belongs to a thief who wouldn't even be able to pass the basic acceptance test for the Academy.
Hardly a glowing reccomendation for two of the Orders supposed golden boys is it?'
The tirade was delivered in a cold frosty tone, suitable for berating a drunk that staggered into your horse, but hardly for speaking to an equal even. And I was her superior in the Order. Both MM and I were! It was made worse by her haughty stare and raised chin. The woman wouldn't even look me in the eye!
'Well' I said. Since you're well informed then surely you can tell me the story then'.
The chilly bint just continued staring at me down her nose!
'Perhaps you'd like to fill me in on how we had already capture the essence of the Unholy One himself in 3 of the crystals. Perhaps you'd like to tell me about how the darkness contained in them was leaching out and driving us insane.'
I was getting a little heated.
Perhaps you'd like to tell me that we knew we were taking a risk when we allowed RSF to use his time-trap spell to combat the taint.
Perhaps you'd like to tell us how one of our allies betrayed us and that we had to kill him to stay alive.'
Very heated.
'And perhaps you snooty cow! You'd like to tell us what other bloody choice we had!!!!
I stopped as I realised my voice was echoing around the cave walls.
'Are you done?' she asked in that same cool tone that made me want to strangle her. 'If you are then let me tell you that for a start I wouldn't hav-'
'Uh, you two', whispered Vadskye. 'Perhaps you'd like to keep it down in here. The ceiling in here doesn't look too steady, and there might be things in here we'd want avoid...'
'Like that?' asked Deimos.
'What?' asked Vadskye.
BOOM! A huge flare of fire lit up the cavern, showing a myriad of ledges, where something gleamed like gold.
'THAT!!!!' screamed Kaylianna, pointing at the red dragon that was staring at us curiously......maybe hungrily!!!

*Standing before them was a dragon. Just saying that though was no where near the actual description. This was no normal Dragon. It seemed to be a mix of a red dragon and a gold dragon. It's eyes were a glimmering green. Mighty Mage prepared to attack it but before he could whip up his magic, Dean stopped him and stepped forward.*
Dean: We don't have to kill it. Let me try.
Dervol: Are you mad!? It will eat us alive. Let a real mage handle this.
Dean: Just shut up for one second will you. I can do this. I know how to speak dragon.
Kaylianna: You can? That is soooo smart.
Dean: Nah, just luck really.
Mighty Mage: Just do it already.
Vadskye: I didn't see that thing before. It must have come from another cavern.
*Suddenly a roar escaped, but not from the Dragon. It was Dean. He began to speak to the dragon in it's own toungue. Suddenly it's face changed from feroucious to fearful. It seemed unsure of how this human could speak to her. Then it's face became filled with relief as Dean explained to it.*
Dean: Her name is Vintaglia.
Dervol: It has a name now?
*Roar*
Dean: She has a name, yes.
Dervol: Fine, just ask it to move or somthing. Where are we going?
Mighty Mage: We were heading towards the Order Fort but now that we have Vadskye I suppose we can go back. It's not like we have anything much else to do.
Kaylianna: How come you arn't afraid of the dragon? The demon was.
Demios: I'm not scared. I'm just veiwing the situation from a different location.
Vadskye: Sure you are oh great leader.
Mighty Mage: I have a pet dragon back home. I rescued it from slayers. He's still young though.
Dean: She's going to help us.
Mighty Mage: Really. How?
Dervol: Yes great mage, tell us.
Dean: I've told her of our prediciment and she offered to help. She wants no harm to come to her children so she has offered to do what she can. I asked her to fly us back to the town.
Mighty Mage: If she's gonna do that than I'll provide our escape hole.
*Mighty Mage recharged his magic this time focusing on his eartly powers. The rocks in the cave ceiling began to form into a gravel and part revieling the sun about to set.*
Dean: You really can control all elements.
Mighty Mage: Fire and air are my specilties. I rarely use earth and water but it does come in handy every once and a while.
Dean: Alright, let's go.
Demios: I have to get on that thing?
Mighty Mage: If you don't want to walk back you will.
*The group each climbed onto the now friendly dragon preparing to fly away. Even Demios reluctently boarded the winged beast once he heard the familiar screech of a spamling.
Once in the air, Vadskye pulled out his leather bag to reveal what he had brought back from the Order Fort.*
Vadskye: I think we had some squatters hanging out in the fort. Probably thieves. I found this old orb just lying around. I can get a pretty penny for this I bet.
Dean: Do you know what that is?
Vadskye: I just said it was an orb.
Mighty Mage: That's not just any orb Vadskye. You have an artifact locater in your hands. It's sort of like a magical detector.
Dervol: See, once a thief always a thief. I should take that crystal before you hurt yourself.
Vadskye: I don't have it.
Dervol: What? Where is it?
Mighty Mage: I have it and I think I'll give it back to Vadskye. He hasn't had any problems with it before. He actually used it quite well.
Vadskye: Thank you MM. Dean, you need to calm your girl friend down.
Dervol: He is NOT my boyfriend. I wouldn't even think of dating such a careless mage in all my life. Besides, I am from Amazon ancestry. No man tells me what to do.
Demios: Right. You keep thinking that.
Vadskye: So Kaylianna, what do specialize in?
Kaylianna: I am a magical summoner. I call forth beings to aid me with their power. It's pretty neat actually. Here, I'll give you all a demonstration.
*Kaylianna put her arms up and began to chant. Her hands started to glow as magic encircled them. Suddenly she called out the word Unicorn. As she said this the air and clouds around her formed into a unicorn with a flowing mane. It lifted it's head and released the magic within. As soon as the spell settled the unicorn disapeared. Unfoutianatly the summon scared the dragon carrying them. She shifted suddenly and Kaylianna bagan to slip.*
Kaylianna: Ugh...Ahhhhhhh
Mighty Mage: Hold on!
*Mighty Mage, reacting quickly grabbed he wrist. She bagan to shake with fear unsure if she was going to fall to her death or not.*
Mighty Mage: Stay calm. I'll pull you up. Demios, hold on to my ankles.
Demios: Alright.
Mighty Mage: Ok, give me your other hand. Come on.
Kaylianna: Ok...Don't drop me.
Mighty Mage: I won't. Ok, can you swing your legs up. Try to grip your feet on the Dragon's side. Dean, try to calm down Vintaglia. Tell her to slow her flight.
Dean: Done.
*Kaylianna swung her legs up and and gripped her feet to Vintaglia's side. The fear was still in her eyes as she looked desperatly to Mighty Mage to help her*
Mighty Mage: Ok, I'm going to pull you up slowly. Keep your feet on the Dragon's side. Walk as I pull.
Kaylianna: Ok...just pull me up.
*Mighty Mage began to pull and Kaylianna worked with him. Demios kept a steady grip on his ankles so he wouldn't slide down as well.
Soon enough she was back up to saftey and thakful to everyone who helped.*
Mighty Mage: You're ok now. Just try to calm down.
Dervol: Are you ok? You had me scared there.
Vadskye: So she does have compassion.
Dervol: I may be stern but that doesn't mean I'm emotionless.
Demios: So what exactly was that spell?
Kaylianna: uhh...oh, it was a unicorn spell. It grants healing to a large group.
Dean: Now that's handy.
*After about an hour, Vintaglia came in for a landing. She set down right outside of the town and allowed for the heroes to get off.*
Dervol: So this is the ancient town you spoke of?
Dean: Yes. One moment. I'm going to thank Vintaglia for her help.
Kaylianna: Tell her I'm sorry.
*Dean walked over to their new friend and thanked her for the ride. Afterwards she began to flap he wings and took off into the distance. It was time for her to return to her children. It was also time for the group to make a plan. It was now or never. The Forsaken One's had to be stopped but to do that the crystals had to be found. RSF already revealed that he no longer had them. They had to be somwhere in the area. That Orb Vadskye found may help. Hopfully.*

Vadskye pulled out his Orb of Artifact Detection. "So, uh, how does this thing work?"
Dean: "It glows brighter when it points towards an artifact."
Vadskye looked at it. It was glowing slightly, how could he not have noticed that before? Huh. He slowly spun around before he got a lock on where he wanted. "Here we go."
Kaylianna: "That's in the direction of the Royal Order. It has some rare artifacts, but not any of the ones we're looking for."
Vadskye: "Hmm. I think I could fine-tune this so that it will only look for artifacts of great power. The elemental Jewels would probably be the most powerfull artifacts around, right?"
MM: "Absolutely. We made those to last."
Vadskye: "We? You're not that old, are you?"
MM: "Not me we, the other we."
Vadskye: "Whatever. I think I have it."
Vadskye slowly turned in a circle again, and this time he got another lock. He wasn't sure where it led; he had never liked geography. "Where's that pointing to?"

Motherdark: “My children.”
The horsemen were already long gone, however the foursome that was currently pretending to take orders from RSF, were stunned, all except Ba’alithnor. He knew what was happening all along.
Ba’alithnor: “Hello, my mother. It has been far too long.”
Motherdark: “Yes, my children. Thank this foolish time mage, just as I had you thank the foolish boy the last time.”
Ba’alithnor: “Don’t worry. We already did by not killing him.”
The time mage could hear everything, but had not the strength to utter the slightest gasp. He could do all he could to remain conscious. He cursed at himself in his thought. ‘A time mage, who is so shortsighted to get himself caught up in a mess like this. This is something you would hear in the Jester’s comedy routine!’ The time mage listened carefully to what was happening, since he was not able to what was happening. Motherdark had grown straight out of his back, face and arms.
Motherdark: “I decided to only take over half his body keeping him somewhat alive, since he went through so much trouble to get the pendant. The little boy just found it in the sand.”
Ba’alithnor: “Hahahaha! You call that being nice. I suppose he feels glad to be alive, still holding on hope. Is that what those humans call it? Mortals. HA! Oh it’s good to see you again.”
Ba’alithnor gave Motherdark, or RSF’s upper back, whichever you prefer to call it, a kiss.
Motherdark: “You are always the only one glad to see me.”
The other Forsaken Ones roll their eyes, knowing that Ba’alithnor is being completely ingenuine as usual. He always acts like the loving, caring, son while Motherdark is around.
Motherdark: “I see my little Wuggy One has run off again trying to take everything for himself again. He’s so cute. He never wins, but it’s always fun to watch him plot against you, Bally. Watching you guys fight over the world will be a great show this time.”
Ba’alithnor acts all embarrassed.
Ba’alithnor: “Don’t call me that in front of them.”
His brothers roll their eyes again this time throwing their heads back grumbling in disgust.

*Things were beginning to play out once again...for both parties. Reports were going around about a strange abomination leading a hoarde of evil beings. Others spoke of this creature as a horrible mutant. Some reports also managed to include that this being was in actuality a human that had been mixede with some other form of darkness. There was no mistake. This was RSF. That pendent he took must finally be taking it's full effect. As the our heroes continued their travels in search of the crystals and their corisponding weapons of power, each one of them became a bit closer to another under the realization that their teamwork would be the only way to win. Even Dervol mellowed out after a couple of days. During this time, Vadskye stayed in a constant lead of he party with his new orb. The trail was getting hotter. The Orb bagan glowing with anticipation as the group neared their destination. This was unfourtianatly a mountain. As they reached the edge, the orb conected with the artifact and showed it's image. Yes, one of the crystals. In fact it was the Land's Opal. This would come in handy. Once in their possesion they would have a greater power over the Forsaken One's. The Flaming Ruby could easily imobilize them and the Land's Opal drain them of their being. It was good but still not enough. All four would be needed to successfully capture the Forsaken Ones.*
Demios: Heights. I don't like them. Why can't we just stick with my plan?
Dean: Because your plan is incomplete. After we dress up like the horsemen what do we do then? We can trick them til the sun goes down but that isn't gonna seal them back up. We need the crystals.
Mighty Mage: He's right Demios. Now if you can't climb the mountan than I suppose you can stay here by the edge of the forest. So long as you don't burn it down.
Demios: I'll climb the stupid mountain. If you mages can do it than certainly a magog can.
Kaylianna: Are we actually going to climb or should we search for a trail. I see what looks like a cave up there so there's a good chance there's an old road.
Dervol: Perhaps she's right. We would be better off walking up there than attempting to climb it.
Vadskye: It don't matter to me. The Orb says it's up there so let's go. One question though...who get's the crystal once we retrieve it. It wouldn't do any good to give it to RSF.
Mighty Mage: We'll decide that when the time comes. For now, let's get going. Dean, would you mind conjuring up an eagle to serve as a scout?
Dean: No problem.
*The grop quickly searched the mountain and sure enough there was an old road. It hadn't been used in years as was obvious by the overgrowth. This made no difference though. That crystal had to be retrieved.*
Demios: Hey Vadskye, are we almost there?
Vadskye: I don't know. This thing just keeps flashing.
Dervol: Give it to me. I've been nice to you for as long as I could stand but now it's getting ridiculous. If you can't handle the duties of a mage than perhaps you should return to being a common theif. That way I can lock you up like you belong.
Kaylianna: That wasn't very nice Dervol. He's at least trying.
Dervol: He's trying, The summoner is trying and the great Mighty Mage is trying. This trying is getting us knowhere. If it wasnt for their trying we wouldn't even be in this prediciment.
Demios: And that's why we should just do what I say. You mages can barely stand each other. All in favor of me being the new leader...
*The group just stared at each other blankly. Dervol silenced herself immeadiatly. Even Kaylianna dreaded the fact of Demios leading the rest of them.*
Demios: Fine then. Be that way. See if I haelp you guys again.
*The silence continued after that. The only words mentioned were the ocasional calls for a change in direction by Vadskye or the small cry of fear in one of the many dark caves passed through.
Night soon fell and it was decided that the group should rest and continue their trek in the morning. One hour intervols would be taken by each of them to act as a gaurd in case there were any wandering Forsaken One's.
By morning each of them were well rested and ready to continue. An hour later the orb began to hum. They had finally reached the crystal's location. After a quick search it was found embedded in the stone wall and acting on it's enviroment. It had substanually hardened the rock around it making it near impossible to remove.*
Mighty Mage: Demios, see if you can use your claws to pry this thing loose.
Demios: No. I told you guys yesterday I wasn't going to help you anymore. Get it out yourself.
*That blasted Magog. Always thinking about himself. Then it hit Mighty Mage. Lure Demios into helping them by offerig glory*
Mighty Mage: Jeez, I sorry to hear you say that. I had thought you were really strong or somthing. Guess I was wrong. Well, I guess we'll have to sit back and watch as the world is overun by evil. To bad there isn't some strong hero to help us.
*The otheers caught on to what Mighty Mage was doing and quickly joined in*
Kaylianna: Awwww. I thought you were pretty strong too. The way you held Mighty's ankles. Guess it must have been an enhancement spell or somthing.
Demios: No way. No magic touched me. I'm perfactly strong. You guys don't believe me than watch.
*And Demios showed everyone how strong he was. With one jab of his claws and a quick turn, the crystal was free from the mountainside.*
Demios: See. Told you all.
Dean: Thank-you Demios. I'll take that now.
Dervol: Well, that's two down and two to go. We better get going. I want to get off this mountain before dark this time.
Dean: Dood idea.
*So the group set off in search of the other crystals and soone enough the weapons that would ensure a victory.*

Vadskye: I see another crysal... It's the Wind Zephyr.
MM: Excellent, I can get my crystal back.
Deimos: Hmph.
MM: "HMPH"? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "HMPH"?
Deimos: That perhaps your great leadership has gotten us nowhere but in trouble, and you and Dean lost their cystals, thanks to you. And Vadskye. Nothing else, O "Mighty" Mage. Dervol's right. You shouldn't be the leader.
Vadskye: You have a point, Deimos, but who could be the leader except for Mighty Mage? Not you.
Deimos: If I can't be the leader, then Dervol can.
Dervol: Me? Lead Mighty Mage?
Deimos: Don't forget about the rest of us.
MM: Why Dervol?
Deimos: We must have no compassion.
Dean: That's not right.
Deimos: Huh, I don't know any of you well. How do I know that behind your anti-Forsaken attitude you don't intend to help them? And how do I know MM or Dean or Vadskye or Kay won't save a Forsaken One and nurse it back to health, taking pity on it? Dervol is uncompassionate. She will show no mercy.

OOC: I think the Wind Zephyr should be in a different place, but that's just me. Whatdyou think?
BIC:
Vadskye: "Deimos, helping them would be stupid for the following reasons:
1. They would almost certainly betray me.
2. I have no reason to help them. I don't want to rule anything and why rule a dead world? That's what they're going to turn it into, you know.
3. If I was going to do that, I would have done it back in the caves, or when I had my Jewel.
Understand?"
