Oliver had been waiting outside for everyone to join him. He has been waiting for so long for an adventure like this, to fight evil and have his name in books. It was hard for him to hide his excitement. "Riven are you ready?" He nodded his head, Let's go find Mara. He was in serious mode and would kill whoever took her.
(I’m trying to figure out who’s still in this before progressing lol. We’ve got Shade, Stark, and Illy-wan, right???)
Nox had taken to the skies, leading the group towards their destination. Along the way, Aurelius made sure that he could explain the plans to everyone on the team.
(I just don’t want to leave anyone behind who intended on continuing)
(I think carrots is here too but not really)
(Oh yeah, I knew I was forgetting someone)
(Ooft, sorry guys, I’m kinda busy and dealing with irl stuff so I keep forgetting to post…)
(That's fine lol, as long as we know you're here)
(I understand! I just wanted to figure out whether you still wanted to do this or not so we didn’t leave you behind. No rush.)
Oliver just let Riven take the lead and follow the other. He hoped it wouldn't take to long to get where they were going. He wanted to put his training to the test. He tried his best when training with Aurelius and with his dragon.
Zander set Mara down in a chair and he sat across from her. "You've done good imitating your sister, but not good enough." He glared and folded his hands on the table. "Tell me where she is!" Zander was losing his patience. It was only a few weeks ago he found out the real Mara was alive. He had thought when he attacked the village that he finally found her, but no, he found the twin. "Aw, poor, poor Zander." A smile crossed her face. "It took you so long to figure this out? Listen, I don't know where she is okay." Zander once again dragged her out by her hair and through her back in her cell. "Until you tell me where she is Shasta, your not leaving this cell.
(I thought Valkyrie went after Aurelius)
(Hm, maybe she did. I'll just delete that part.)
(She didn't. She just gave some info about him)
Aurelius unfolded the map he had made, showing about where they were going. They couldn't be far at this point. He was starting to get nervous. Nox suddenly stopped and told everyone else to stop, too.
"Hey! What's up?"
I see a spire up ahead. Looks like it could be one of the temples they were talking about that these people took over and use as a base. Let's move on, but carefully.
Oliver, hold on. Riven was worried for his safety since Oliver was on his back and Riven couldn't fly. "I am." Oliver looked up at the others flying ahead. Don't worry Riven, I can take care of Oliver.
(Just in case anyone forgot or doesn't know. Vey (Oliver's dragon) can only use how power and talk when he is in Oliver's body.)
“Let’s fly low and stay together,” Aurelius suggested.
Nox lowered her flying height a bit as he read through his plans.
Quincy nudged Jade lower and closer to the other dragons. Quincy nodded, "Sounds like a plan."
Lucky nodded from her place atop Frost "what is that?" She asked
"It's an old temple to the four gods of death," Aurelius explained, "From what I've heard, it's huge, and underneath it, there run miles of catacombs."
"Are we going to go to the catacombs? Or are we going there to look around?" Lucky asked
"Depends… If we decide that we need to look around in the catacombs, then we will, but we should take the other information we can first," Aurelius said, "If we go down there, we need to know how to not get trapped if things go wrong."
Sparrow nodded thoughtfully but didnt say anything. She urged Frost closer to the others and fixed her position
"I don't even want to see the destruction they've done to the temple. Probably defaced it… Destroyed statues and writings that are several hundred years old… I'm sure the gods will make certain their next lives aren't easy."
Aurelius was in a strange state of thinking out loud.
