"Hah, and just what could they do?" Caelidorus laughed. "There are far more warriors than scholars, and the warriors have a great deal more combat capability. Even if they all turned against us, they would be slaughtered before sundown."
"Bah, a few scales would never guarantee you fame," Caelidorus snorted. "Just a few words from an envious human and you'll suddenly be a scavenger seeking out rotting dragon corpses so you can pretend to be a dragonslayer."
Caelidorus rolled his eyes.
<Pfft, that's why you're supposed to be knocked into my belly rather into the goring spikes of my back. Then you would be perfectly fine... although now that I think about it, it might be less than pleasant for me...>
Forlirn shrugged lightly, laying his head down on his paws.
"Your choice."
Frilarth tilted his head.
"I can certainly keep guard! It's easy to stay up and listen for intruders."

"If they all suddenly attacked you then what you said would indeed be the case. The problem is that they can do many things while still appearing to be loyal to you. For example, they could spread lies about you throughout the clan, making you less popular. They could manipulate history so that it would seem you commited dishonourable acts during your rule. The list goes on." Matt replied.
"Who needs fame?" Matt asked. "I'd only use it to earn a bit of respect in areas of Neuva that are not as receptive to outsiders. It doesn't matter to me if I become a household name or anything like that. But if someone said I was a scavenger, then I would open my wallet and show them a few photographs i've kept from my dragonslaying days.They can't argue with a photograph."
<You know that you're almost tempting me to ask Frilarth to do that again so I can be knocked into your belly this time right? That would be quite fun now that I think about it. Though I have to admit i'm not sure why you would enjoy it.>
"We probably should get some rest. We'll need all of our energy tomorrow for both the flight and our decent into those ruins." Matt said.

"I for one look forward to what we might find in the ruins. Who knows what knwoledge it might hold for us. If I can I want to see if there are any notes on the void there. Afterall, I cannot be the only one who has looked into it right? But if there is not I will be content with other knowledge as well." said Rhen. "I wish you all a good night. I shall see you all come morning."
With that Rhen opened a portal and stepped through. Rhen gave a heavy sigh as he entered Elune. He let the magic in his body race around and warm him as he removed his coat and cloak. Once warm enough he began his trainning. He did as he normally did. He worked at forming and holding a solid object made from the energy of the void. He kept on going over and over until he either grew tired or got a headache that felt as if Forlirn was stepping on his head with all his weight. As he worked, the unseen black specks on his neck began to creep further and cover more and more area of his flesh. Rhen did not notice it for most was hidden by his hair or his clothing. After a while Rhen leaned against a rock and let himself rest.

"Bah, and who would believe such lies when my exploits are already known?" Caelidorus yawned. "If I were to ever do anything dishonorable, it would be known and remembered. Were something like that to suddenly appear in history records, it would immediately be looked into."
"Well, I supposed you've got me beat there..." Caelidorus admitted, shrugging. "But if you have photographs proving you're a dragonslayer, then what do you need dragon scales for? That's basically trying to prove something you've already proven."
<It's not that I wouldn't find it enjoyable... It's more of I wouldn't want you getting flung into my belly with a large amount of force. That could knock the wind out of me... though I doubt Frilarth could buffet you with nearly enough force for that.>
Forlirn nodded, starting to curl up. "That's what I plan on doing..."

"I suppose you are right Caelidorus. All I am saying is that if they are saying that things should be different then you ought to keep a close eye on them so that you can ensure that they do not try and pull something behind your back. I wouldn't just assume they will never try and do something to change things." Matt said.
"Truthfully, if you gave me several of your scales then i'd probably just keep them for memories sake. Keep them in my house somewhere and then pull them out to show my grandkids how I befriended the leader of a dragon clan. Actually, i've already gotten some scales back home, but those are from dragons i've killed." Matt replied.
<Well we're going to have to remember to ask Frilarth to do it sometime then. It does sound like it could be fun. But for now I think we ought to go to bed. We need our rest. Good night Caelidorus.>

After a quick rest Rhen stood up and resumed again. He took it a bit more slow this time figuring that he had tried to do too much too fast and that is what tired him out. As before he tried to hold the form as long as possible before either letting it disapate or throwing the void spear before it could explode in his hands. But this time as he worked the tiny black shards began to appear on his shoulder and arm. But like before it was hidden except for a small bit sticking out from the edge of his sleeve which Rhen only thought was a shadow from the sleeve itself.

"I suppose you are right there..." Caelidorus murmured. "Although being paranoid about my own clan isn't necessarily a good thing... That's one of the reasons why my father lost his place as former Eye... well, would have been if he weren't assassinated first..."
"I see..." Caelidorus said quietly before yawning lightly. "Well, not much of a counter I can make to that, since that's not the sort of thing one counters in a discussion."
<Aye, best that we do... Good night...>
Caelidorus curled up, closing his eyes to go to sleep.

Matt woke up after a difficult sleep. The dreams that he could remember involved the other members of the group dying slow and obviously very painful ways. Throughout the night he had been tossing and turning in his sleep and mumbling gibberish under his breath. As his senses returned to him, he stretched and yawned loudly. "Ugh, I hope I don't have a night like that for a long while. That was a difficult sleep." He said in a tired voice. "Hope I didn't disturb your sleep Caelidorus."

By thre time morning came, the black shards on Rhen's flesh as covered his entire arm. Rhen first noticed it about half-way through the night. He made note of it. He tryed to keep calm and not panic. Quietly he replaced all the layers of clothing over himself before opening a portal and returning to the group. As he stepped though he seemed a bit more pale.
"Good morning everyone. I trust you all got some rest?" said Rhen with a slightly cheery voice as he approached the group.

"Good Morning Rhen. I've had better nights myself, but I suppose that is just the way things work for us mortals that have to sleep. Anyway, how was your night? Did you get much practice in manipulating the void or whatever it is that you do?" Matt asked.
