"True. I suppose you as the blade of all Tempests, or whatever it is that you call yourself, has no real reason to learn about history unless there is something so important that it has an impact on you. I myself only know history because it is a passion of mine. I'm a warrior at heart but I do consider history to be valuable as well." Matt replied.
"Well I suppose you will have to wait a couple of decades or so and see if something happens. If you are so sure that I do not have a plan then do you want to bet on it? Name your price and I will double it!" Matt replied, chuckling.
"I may not be a scientist but even I know that it takes millions of years for mountains to move a great distance. If I remember correctly then I believe the plates that make up the crust of this planet move about six inches a year. Not sure if that applies in Elune or if that even has anything to do with the mountains you are referring to. Make what you will of it I guess." Matt said

"I'm relatively certain that the mountains are not glaciers," Forlirn said. "They may be frozen, but I remember them being made of stone rather than of ice."
"Ah. Well, as I believe I've said before, history really isn't much of an interest to me," Caelidorus replied. "When it comes to obtaining knowledge that might help me, I'm interested, but otherwise I don't really care a great deal. What others have done in the past doesn't concern me if it doesn't help me deal with the future."
"I hardly think betting will mean anything for us," Caelidorus said, chuckling. "After all, we use two different systems of currency that, to my knowledge, cannot be exchanged for one another."
"I really don't know," Forlirn said, shrugging. "After the things I've seen in my lifetime, many of which were supposedly impossible by the very laws of physics, little would be able to surprise me."
He paused, squinting slightly.
"But I don't think it matters much, as I do believe I see the coast in the distance..."

"Well, I believe all history is very important and should never be forgotten. You can learn from the past if you are willing to take the time to study it. I can't fault you for viewing history that way as that's similar to how I view the sciences. If it helps me in some way, then go ahead and tell me it. If it has no impact on me then don't bother trying to explain it to me as you'll just be wasting everyones time." Matt replied.
"It doesn't have to be money Caelidorus!" Matt exclaimed. "Any item will do. I don't care what it is. Go ahead and bet something. Or do you perhaps think that I may have a plan?"
"Well then, do you want to land now? We've still got a bit of time until sundown." Matt said

"I shall take your word for it then." said Rhen.
As he waited for the group to either land or make it to their destination, Rhen went over his research on the void in his mind.
~The void is pure, concentrated energy. Grasping it and forming it takes a strong will. The stronger the will the longer on can hold and manipulate the engery and make it hold its form. Holding past the limit results in a backfire. Anything caught in the backfire is dematerialized and turned into void energy.~ thought Rhen.

"Hah, that is how I am about most forms of knowledge," Caelidorus replied, yawning. "If a piece of knowledge serves me no use, then there is no reason for me to have that piece of knowledge. After all, there's no reason to spare the unneeded concentration upon it."
"And what have I to bet?" Caelidorus asked, snorting. "My scales? Nay, that won't be suitable, because you don't have scales of your own that you would be able to give me when you lost the bet."
"We may as well do so now," Forlirn said, beginning to descend. "The cold will be very taxing on most of the group, so it's best that we enter it fully rested..."

"Well I suppose we share similar viewpoints there as well." Matt said. "The only difference is that I have a broader view of what is valuable knowledge. I'm starting to wonder if we disagree on anything Caelidorus. I can't think of a single thing that I like and you dislike or vice-versa."
"Name your price for me losing the bet Caelidorus. It can be anything for I have every confidence that I will win this bet and obtain some of your scales. Though I must admit that I have no idea what I would ever use them for." Matt replied
"Right, well I suppose we ought to land as well Caelidorus." Matt said. "I doubt I will be resting anytime soon though. I don't feel even slightly tired."

"I think we've had a small number of disagreements, but we seem to agree far more often then we ever disagree," Caelidorus replied. "We seem to think alike far more than we think differently."
"I don't think you have anything I'd be willing to exchange my scales for," Caelidorus said with a light snort. "When fully removed, our scales don't grow back, and I can't think of a thing you own I would be willing to compromise my natural defenses for."
"I doubt I will either," Caelidorus said, soon landing just after Forlirn touched down on the ground. "We've hardly expended any energy since we last rested..."
Frilarth soon landed as well. He appeared to have an entire flock of puffins on his head and back, pecking at his silver scales.

When Forlirn landed, Rhen stiffly dismounted. When he hit the ground he was min-calf deep in snow.
"So..........is there a way where we can clear the area of snow so that we can have ground to sit on rather than snow? Or will we just have to grin and bear it?" asked Rhen.
~Why am I even asking that? I am going to Elune in a while anyway. Oh well. Best to think of comfort for the others first.~ thought Rhen.

"And here I had thought that no one in the worlds could even come close to agreeing with my beliefs! Yet instead it turns out that there is an entire clan of dragons who think like I do! It's almost too bad that i'm a Neuvian human, because I think I could have made a pretty good tempest considering I seem to share many of their views," Matt said
"It sounds to me as though you are so intimidated by me that the only thing you can think of doing is trying to offer me something that I cannot match so that I can not defeat you. Besides, I wouldn't accept your scales because I simply have no use for them. Am I supposed to hang them up on a wall in my house to remember defeating you or something?" Matt asked.
Matt quickly climbed off of Caelidorus's back and landed in the snow. "Wow, this is deep for only the first snowfall of the year. If you would like Rhen, I can clear a patch of snow for a fire. That should melt a bit of the surronding snow as well. While i'm doing that, perhaps the rest of you can gather some wood for the fire. May as well get something for us to eat as well." Matt said.
