The Dwarf and Flying Giants burst through the tunnel and out onto the snowy mountain top as the rumbling beneath them increased. Down the tunnel, both could see something large block the hole they had just escaped through. An eye, something so large that its circumference was not fully encapsulated by the tunnel stared up at them with malice.
"Iver take Dimitri and fly us eastbound. I do not wish to expend any more energy." The Trickster's voice entered their minds. Slowly their ears had begun to heal and both could hear the whippings of the wind around them at this altitude as well as some deep dark rumbling beneath them. The mountain appeared to be shaking...
KRAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKK.
Rocks and earth and snow went flying out one side of the foothills beneath them, being sent like debris through the sky from the shock impact. They saw some great snout burst through an opening in the mountain. And an exaggerated roar met their ears. They were still hard of hearing yet it was loud enough to send fear into even Dimitri's brave heart. The head of a large reptilian creature emerged and it reared its head back around towards them.
"REEETTTTUUUUUURRRNN MYYYYY PRRIIIIIZZZE!!!!"
-------------------------------------
"We have a lot to discuss," Aranel raised her hands to her hood and revealed her hair to be greying. Thoruk clearly saw this was nearly a different person even in terms of attitude to the one masquerading as 'Arathor'. "Please, may we sit," Aranel asked before taking a step toward the Dwarf.
-------------------------------------
"What the fuck is going on?" The younger Endo asked, not even willing to flee since the circumstances were so wild fleeing would be impossible especially when he did not know where he was.
"Just calm down," The older one said. He turned to Cardiloc, "I'm sorry. She-she jumped and I couldn't catch her in time. Don't worry, you can take us back, right? We need to rescue Berethor....right.....?"
---------------------------------------
Berethor screamed in pain as his leg was sliced in half just above his ankle and his right leg was kicked resulting in him falling to the floor. Ela and the maid continued screaming as Shin rose above the Armoured Shifter.
-------------------------------------------
Keratos halted his pace as he felt a small hand take hold of his arm. He remembered his daughter. The way she used to clutch onto him and hold onto his back. It lasted a mere millisecond before he returned to reality.
"It is magical, isn't it?" He asked. "People say it came from the land of our ancestors. A place they called Numenor, out in the Beleger. An ancient kingdom of men that ruled the seas." He smiled at Tamara. "Do you ever wish to just explore these things? See the world around us instead of just staying in this city, Lil' Lady?"
The White Tree bristled in the wind. A leaf falling and gently trailing through the air towards the two of them as the rest of the rangers continued on their way towards the Citadel barracks.
Daugo was waiting outside the chambers for the others but saw the little girl who had the unfortunate circumstance of inheriting that serpent's power. She was clinging onto one of the larger rangers, one of those from Belzagar's unit that had been tasked with guarding him on this diplomatic mission. They appeared to be watching the White Tree. A marvel of beauty in its own right. One of a kind. The first and likely the last of its genus.
-----------------------------------------
"It is not my place to speak on behalf of the King. You may ask him yourself when he arrives," Belzagar replied to Ha'zi. "Whenever that may be," He added underneath his breath.
"Until then, stay out of trouble and remain in the city. If you have any issue or troubles, come speak to me directly. I shall be here at the Citadel leading the command of this city. Captain Vardamir shall be on the fourth level at its respective barracks if you need of him. Any training or other drills that you wish to conduct shall need to be brought by me so if there are any requests-" He turned to the two Karoltai, "Now is the time to make them."
