"I haven't the faintest idea," Caelidorus said. "I'm not an expert on anything about how magic works. The only thing I really know is how to use and counter it. And since these aura things seem to be related to magic, I doubt I'll have any success with them either."
"Oh, right, I'm forgetting my learnings," Caelidorus snorted. "But, little do you know, when I find the vast treasure on the other side of the maze, I'll keep it all to myself, and you won't be any wiser."
"I think he's trying to chirp..." Caelidorus said, frowning. "Or... I can't really tell from this distance... But I must admit, it's amusing to watch a dragon as large as he have birds peck at his nostrils."
Forlirn drifted into silence, thinking.

"So basically we are relying on Forlirn and Rhen to do any magic that relates to auras. They are the most powerful mages of our group. Well, the most powerful people that know magic anyway." Matt said.
"You are forgetting something else as well my young and very naive friend. I search the cave that I will force you to live in for valuables whenever you are out on a mission for me. When I find this massive treasure, i'll get a bunch of nearby villagers to collect the treasure. Then you will be left with nothing." Matt replied, grinning.
"Wait... he's chirping?" Matt asked. He glanced back at Frilarth. "Wow, that is just odd. I'll go further then what you said and say that Frilarth is the only intelligent being that would ever let two birds peck his nostrols."

To pass the time while contemplating what might happen to him when in contact with the abyss, Rhen went over his notes on void manipulation. As he went over what he knew he added in what he had learned. He also thought a bit on ancients. He pondered what he had learned about them and what they had said thus far.

"They're the most knowledgeable, it seems," Caelidorus replied. "So of course it would make the most sense to rely on them for studying auras... Though if their knowledge lacks on it, I do not know what the best course of action is."
"Ah, but you are making one fatal flaw, for that plan will not work," Caelidorus said, grinning as well. "For I will not leave my treasure at my cave! Nay, I shall eat it so I can take it with me, and then leave decoys and traps for you to find."
Frilarth blinked, having heard this part of the conversation.
"...Eating... things... to carry them? Why didn't I think of that!?"
"Perhaps we should make his name into an actual word..." Caelidorus mused, chuckling. "And have the word be meant to describe one with such an oddity about them that no other word sufficiently describes them."
Forlirn frowned slightly, squinting as he looked into the distance. Eventually, he blinked, seeming to nod slightly.
"We near the coast..."

"If their knowledge of an aura is lacking, then all we can do is push forward and pray that nothing happens to us. Besides that there is nothing we can do. I do not think that we will have to worry though. How many of these auras can there be?" Matt asked.
"Well your theory has a rather large flaw as well. I don't care if you are a dragon, I don't think your stomach is large enough to hold an entire hoard of treasure. Plus I don't know of many people who would take a partially digested piece of gold as currancy. You wouldn't be able to use your precious treaure." Matt laughed.
"Heh, I can see the dictionairy definition now. Frilarth, an adjective used to describe an individual that is known for their confusing actions and conversations. If that actually made it into everyday conversations then I don't think I would ever stop laughing." Matt said, smiling slightly.
"Hmm... All I know of the continent on the other side of the strait we are about to cross is that the only towns are concentrated along the coast. The only living beings further inland are a couple of humans in research stations and the occasional dragon. I don't know of any actual dragon clans though. We'd best hope we don't need to seek help over there." Matt said.

"So that means we are close right? We cannot be to far off?" asked Rhen from Forlirn's back as he looked down at the scenery below as it went by.
~Why am I worried about if we are there or not? That might only speed my dimise if the void and abyass combination is fatal.......~ thought Rhen.

"I really have no idea," Caelidorus answered. "As I said, I've only learned how to use magic, not the workings behind it. So we're essentially in the dark..."
"Bah, I'll hire a mage with the proper skills to shrink it first," Caelidorus snorted. "And your knowledge is evidently lacking here, because gold can't be digested! Or affected by most things in the world. That's why it's valuable. And why on Elune would I spend it? I would keep it to myself."
"It would be even funnier if those who used it actually met Frilarth," Caelidorus said with a grin. "Then they would come to realize just how much there were understating the term in its use."
"Well those are new..." Forlirn muttered slightly, blinking. "Back when I was a hatchling the entire place was devoid of other life, save from the lone dragons that occasionally showed up..."

"Being in the dark about something as powerful as these auras is hardly a comforting feeling eh?" Matt replied. " I don't like the fact that we are essentially putting ourselves in the hands of fate."
"What about when you are in Neuva? Magic doesn't work here, so your treasure will return to it's normal size. Then you'll be left with a extremely bad stomach ache as a punishment for your actions. And what is the point of you even getting this treasure if you don't plan on using it." Matt asked.
"If that happened, then they would be trying to figure out a word that descibes Frilarth! That's a rather difficult task if you ask me." Matt said.
"That's how things work now. People wanted to find out what was up north, then scientists wanted to study what they had discovered. Give us time and we will probably start building towns all across that continent." Matt shrugged.

((Sorry about not replying to your previous post. You posted while I was in the process of writing my last post and I did not notice it until now.))
"The ruins are somewhat farther inland," Forlirn replied, tilting his head. "They're not incredibly farther... but the whether will get much harsher. The air above the strait is fast and bone-chilling. The land beyond... well, it's perpetually white with snow and ice. So travel may slow..."
"Aye, but what choice do we have?" Caelidorus sighed. "Because I honestly don't see an alternative..."
"I'll simply never come back to Neuva," Caelidorus chuckled. "And you obviously don't know dragons very well if you expect us to use our treasure. You see, there is a reason that children's bedtime stories tell of dragons guarding massive piles of gold."
"I thought that was the point of making Frilarth's name a word," Caelidorus laughed. "Because then we would finally have a word that perfectly describes him!"
"I find that a bit unlikely," Forlirn said, frowning. "It's impossible to grow food on the continent. Only the water yields anything, making inland living impossible for those who can't travel far..."

"Well it is good to hear that we are not too far off. As for how the weather might be.......well I am not to fond of it. But I guess I shall endure it for the sake of our mission." Rhen replied.
~Winter.....gah! I would not mind it so much if I did not have mechanical parts that freeze up.~ thought Rhen.
