"I think I may know of a way to narrow down my search. But only if you can remember somethings about this place before this event." said Rhen. "Was there any place the elder spent most of his time or a place where others spent a great deal of time? My assumption is that perhaps the place where either the elder or you kin spent the most amount of time would either be the archive or something else that might catch a dragon's fancy. Do you remember any place where your elder or your kin spent a great deal of time at? Any thing at all?"
~I do not want to go too far as I do not want to get lost and be left behind when the others leave for the ruins. I must narrow my search greatly in-order to make the most of our time here so I can have a chance to learn as much as I can.~ thought Rhen.

Character's form's sizes (no more characters available in my original post)
Dragon: 20 foot 10 inches the shoulder when on all fours 50 feet exactly when on hind legs, she has a tail that is 5 feet in length, for to to top of her head add 2 3/4 feet to the two heights I've mentioned.
Wolf kin: 5 foot 6 inches at the head plus 1 1/2 feet of tail
since i couldn't fit her other ability I'll put it down here as well. her second ability requires that she is carrying a weapon, the weapon with be enshrouded in darkness and induce fear in non light based or spirit-like enemies, again it's a passive ability that is like a critical hit in RPGs
((is THAT an acceptable size or do i still need to shrink her?)

<Hmm... Possibly, though somebody with the ability to bend another's will that easily is something I do not want to think about. Hard to imagine that we wouldn't be able to fight back... And of course you'd enjoy not having him around. If he were, he'd probably be trying ti kill us again...>
"As I stated long ago, a single free True One could slowly end the entire world," Forlirn said solemnly. "They are not a force to be toyed with in any sense. Underestimating them can easily be the last thing one does. It wasn't rare for some of us to joke that the best thing to do upon encountering one was to kill yourself before it could reach you. Dying by their claws... not something anybody should have to experience."
Frilarth slowly entered, though he seemed to be constantly averting his gaze.
Forlirn shook his head. "I'm afraid I do not know. I paid little attention to where the elder spent his time during my youth, instead spending most of it near the other hatchlings."
((A dragon form of that size is much too large for non-ancient dragons. You'll need to scale it down for me to accept your bio.))

((My computer has broken again so I have to use my phone. Thus I can't have my character use telepathy. It should only be for a week or so.))
"I can easily imagine it. I read a book where a government is able to convince people to believe things they knew were not true. For example, if they wanted to, they could convince someone that the sky was green and not blue. I think that Nrilgroth could do the same if he wanted to. And it is hard to say if he would kill us. His goal seems to shift with each meeting. He may simply wish to converse with us again, which is not much better if you ask me." Matt said.
"Well I don't know if a single true one could destroy the worlds. Are you telling me that all of the armies in the worlds could not defeat one of them? That seems highly unlikely to be honest. I can see a whole army of true ones destroying us, but not one or two." Matt replied.

"I am not sure that I agree with your logic Matt. For if a True One could wipe out an entire dragon clan, then they would have no problem wiping out an army of humans. Think about it like this. Even with a gun, a dragon can be two, perhaps three times more powerful than a human. If that is the case, then if a True One wiped out a whole dragon clan, what would the outcome be if it was a human clan or army?" said Rhen.
"I see. Well then that will make things more difficult for me then. Not many good places to start and our time here is short." said Rhen. "Perhaps I will forego looking for the archives and use my time more wisely by looking into other things. That seems like the best idea."

((Well I got my computer back quicker then expected so ignore my previous OOC))
"I can see where you are coming from Rhen, however Human nations and armies are much bigger then any dragon clan I have seen. Even though a dragon may be stronger and larger then a human, we are faster and more agile then a dragon. I'm not saying that it would be easy to kill a true one, but I think if all the human armies banded together then it could be done. Hell, we could probably even defeat three or four of them at the same time. Remember that these dragons were not expecting a true one to attack. If we were to inform the right people then we could prepare for an invasion." Matt replied.

<Hmm... I suppose I'll have to disagree there. I've never seen anything or heard of anything that can tell you to believe something and have you automatically do so. I believe it would take the breaking of your will for that to happen, which simply means you must not allow your will to be broken. I'd also have to disagree over Thlorian. Talking to him might be less appealing than many unappealing things, but I'd find it far better than fighting him. Hell, last time he did that he incapacitated Forlirn and Frilarth just by being present. If he truly desired killing us... well, I don't think we'd have much of a chance.>
"Do not underestimate them," Forlirn replied firmly, perhaps a bit more so than was needed. "We are dealing with creatures that have no physical form, creatures that can freely pass through physical objects as if they do not exist, or slice through them as if they are paper. Shoot one in the head, and the bullet will pass through as if it were smoke. Shoot one with a missile and it will simply emerge from the smoke. The most you could ever do is send it back to the Abyss, provided you can find a way."
"I'm under the impression that we may be spending the night here in the hopes the storm will blow over," Forlirn said, tilting his head in thought. "That should give you hours to look, since I can think of little else to do besides rest."

<Maybe I should have explained it better. It was not as though they could simply say something and that would be that. They had to shatter your will to believe other then what they said. When they did that they could easily get the people to buy into whatever they were told. I wouldn't say that it is as simple as not having your willpower be broken. Everyone has their limits Caelidorus, and if someone wants shatter your will to resist then it can be done. And I guess you are right about Thlorian. As much as I dread talking to him, I suppose it is better then fighting him. The only time I wouldn't mind fighting him is if I knew that when I killed him he would stay dead.>
"Well then we simply banish them to the abyss. Once we know how to do that it will be a simple process to defeat them. If they ever try to threaten us, then we just cast a spell and send them back to the abyss. Hell, maybe they are mortal in the abyss. In that case we just follow them and kill them there." Matt said.

"While that may be the case Matt.......what is the cost? If you happen to follow a true one into the abyss, who knows what might happen to you. For all you know, you might gain the taint of the abyss or something worse. Also, if you journey to the abyss, you might run into our friend that is trapped within it." said Rhen as he examined a scale in his fingers.
~Hmmm.......if the scales of these northern dragons help keep the cold from them......then can it be possible that the an item from a creature of the void, if any exist, could give them protection from it as well? If that is the case then I think I may have found a way to journey through the void. But how to acquire the flesh of a creature of the void and where to find said creature......~ thought Rhen to himself silently as he pondered the used of the scales he collected.

<Hmm... I suppose it depends on the individual. I personally believe he could never break my will, as I do not believe there is anything he has control over with the ability to break my will. He would need control over existence itself to do that, which I seriously doubt he has. And Thlorian... hell, why is he still alive? You shot him right in the head... we saw him die... And yet he still walks. How is that even possible?>
"Difficult, since there is no known way to do so," Forlirn replied, frowning. "Not to mention that you live in Neuveli, meaning a spell with the ability to do so wouldn't work here. As for chasing them to the Abyss... even if you had the proper protection to prevent you from dying immediately or being twisted into an abomination you only think you can imagine, you'd have an entire host of Abyssal creatures to deal with... not to mention Nrilgroth himself. He'd be dangerous enough to fight here... but to face him in the Abyss... Well, the Abyss is his domain, his 'turf,' as the saying goes. He could swallow armies in mere seconds there..."
