Matt gazed at the palace, wondering what it had looked like in it's glory days. True. the palace was still intact, but centuries of abandonment had reduced it's glory. He smiled slightly when Caelidorus nudged him, feeling somewhat comforted. Of course, dread
was still the prevailing feeling in his mind. He still petted Caelidorus's neck, thinking that both he and Caelidorus were gaining comfort out of it*

***;Aye. I will try. But you be careful too Caelidorus. You may have a strong mind, but no one is safe from what is in here. The last thing I need is for you to go crazy from some supernatural power in here****;

"I agree with you Sister." Litis said, frowning slightly. "I do believe that our best course of action would be to locate an elder, likely Vates, and seek their guidance. I propose that one of us travels to his last known location and attempt to seek him out. At the same time, the rest of us should try and locate more of our brothers and sisters and try and get them involved in the fight. If there is even a slight possibility that He is involved, then we need as much assistance as possible. This should be done within a day if possible. As I said earlier, we may not have much time until Nihil makes his move. Once that happens... well I do not think I need to tell you just how bad things will be."

"It is there where we will likely find the answers to what we seek, if such can be found down here," Forlirn said quietly, indicating the palace as he spoke. "It is there where I found the Name before I shattered its stone tablet... A most unnerving experience, it was."

Caelidorus turned his neck slightly and gave Matt's hand a gentle lick, letting out a soft rumbling sound that seemed similar to the purr of a feline*
***;Keep your mind close to mine. If I fall victim to what befell you, you may be the only who can pull me back to my senses****;

"I shall speak to brother Animus, and arrange for him to seek out our siblings," Soul replied, laying her great head down again. "His domain allows him to travel with haste, journeying in a footstep what would take days by wing. As for Vates, I will not seek it out. I shall carry my children wherever I journey forth to; Vates is beyond the mortals of the world. It would not be good for them, and Vates can act unpredictably when faced with mortals."

"How are we to know what this Name is if we should come across it?" Matt asked. "It seem to me that this Name was quite important to these people. I would imagine that they kept more records of it then just on one tablet. The last thing I want is to end up killing us because I accidently found another tablet with the Name written on it. Either way, let us move on. This place is quite dangerous and staying here only increases the chances of harm befalling us."

Matt could not help but smile happily when Caelidorus licked him. The affectionate gesture had caught him off guard*****;Well you need not worry about that. I'll do everything within my power to keep you with us if I suspect you are slipping away. It's the last thing any of us, especially me, needs to have happen. Besides, you are the new leader of the great Tempest Clan. I can't have the clans newest leader fall victim to insanity under my watch, now can I?>

"Yes, that is quite true. Very well then. Since your little pets mean so much to you, I shall search for Vates. I would suggest talking to Animus as soon as possible. I know his abilities are extensive, but we know not how much time we have to prepare for a conflict." Litis said, nodding to himself slowly. "I shall return here after I have searched for Vates. Ah yes, I will need to know where you last encountered Vates. If I am to search for him, then I will have to have some idea as to where to begin my search. I know he dwells within the wastelands of Elune, but that is not much to go on."

"Matt is correct. We need to know more before we continue our search. We do not need curiosity getting us all killed. After all I believe the saying is, Curiosity killed the cat. After that experience with the wraiths I think that now more than ever we sould watch our steps.&q***; said Rhen as he looked between Forlirn and Matt.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"In the meantime I shall see to it that my wrights are ready to be called upon incase we need then in the battle against Nhil. Besides....I have no had contact with the other an*****s in quite some time. I have been too busy of late to keep in contact because of the dragon wars on Elune. But I will do what I can aside from seeing to it that my armies are ready." said Nex

"It... it will not appear as a written word, though it will likely be among written words..." Forlirn said with his head tilted, trying to find the proper words to describe it. "...Rather... it's more of a void of sorts, a blackness in the script where nothing exists. It appears unnatural and feels sickening to look at... but if you gaze into this void, the knowledge of the Name becomes branded in your mind. If you see anything like this, do not gaze into it."

Caelidorus' tail flicked slightly, the corners of his lips raising in the faint expression that was a dragon's equivalent to a smile*
***;Of course not. If I were to go insane... well, the first thing I'd likely do would be to eat you. And Rhen too, if he got in the way. Hell, I'd eat everybody if they were small enough. If not... well, then destruction would ensue, which would be less than ideal. Unless I was only mostly insane; then maybe I could stop myself after eating you****;

"You shan't need more guidance than that, brother," Soul replied softly, closing her great eyes. "You merely need to cross the strait into the frozen wastes and soar across the land. You will sense the presence of sibling Vates... and if you fail at doing so, Vates shall find you."

"I'm... not quite sure I understand. But I guess all that really matters is that I look away from whatever script I happen to be examining if I should start to feel odd right? I guess that is easy to do. Should I sense anything out of the ordinary, I will let you know so that you can dispose of it properly. You already know this Name right? If that's the case, then you would be the best person to destroy it." Matt said.

Matts' smile grew and he then continued to pet Caelidorus' neck*
***;You are such a glutton! I shouldn't have agreed to help keep you sane. You are already partly insane as it is, so I've got my work cut out for me. Now, as much as I would like to continue talking about how you plan on eating everyone when you finally snap and become insane, I think we had better stop for now. We are just making my job of holding on to the limited amount of sanity you still possess harder by doing this eh?>

Litis sighed. "Yes, you are right sister. I suppose I had best begin my journey up north. I shall return after I have searched the wasteland. Let us hope that Vates still dwells across the strait and has not decided to travel to some other place. I bid you fair well sister." Litis then took to the skies. "Ah yes, and I hope to see you here as well when I return, brother Nex. I wish you swift travels. Fair well!" With that, Litis then began to fly north, intending to switch worlds after he had crossed the straits in Neuva.

"I think I might understand what Forlirn is talking about. But it is difficult to explain how I think I know. But to put it simply......there is a void in whatever hides the Name. Not the void from which I draw power from when on Elune but a separate void altogether most likely. What ever holds the Name will have an emptiness yet power as well. That is truly something to watch out for." said Rhen as he crossed his arms.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"As long as you don't start another war I shall be here when you return Brother." said Nex as he watched Litis fly off.

~I hope that my feeling is wrong and He is not involved in this. If He is then there might be nothing we can do for we might barely beat our fallen brother with what resources we do have that is if we can beat him. All of this is becoming a real puzzle that I fear I cannot solve.~ Nex though to himself with a deep rumbling in his throat that usually happened when he was in thought.

"I believe you understand what I mean, Rhen. In any event, you will know it if you glimpse it, and you need not worry about learning the Name merely from a glimpse. You must gaze into the void of the Name to learn the Name," Forlirn said softly, stopping for a moment to make certain the way was clear of threats. "And yes, I know the Name. I shall warn you of it if I see it, and destroy it."

Caelidorus tilted his head slightly in thought****;Good idea. 'Twould be unfortunate if a terrible fate were to befall us because I was too busy talking about eating you to actually pay attention****;

Soul grew quiet, almost seeming to fall into a slumber. It was likely she was communing with Animus through whatever means she was able to do so.

"Alright Forlirn. I guess I understand enough to know when to call you. The only other question I guess I would have for you is if it is possible that this void in which the name resides could also contain other pieces of information that could be of use to us. It seems to me that this void would be the perfect place to hide other pieces of information. I say we don't immediately destroy them, rather we see if they have anything else to offer." Matt said*

***;That's good. So remember, keep your head and mind close to my own. If you start to feel as though you are losing a grip on yourself, let me know and I will try to help you. If it makes you feel better, I can keep petting your neck. Just remember that this is only for a short time. We can go back to joking with one another once we leave alright?>

David and Anne were sitting side by side in the palace's grand ballroom. An orchestra was playing some sort of waltz and several couples were dancing. Though David appeared to be enjoying himself, in reality he was quite bored. He had just finished a conversation with a dragon (who was in his human form). To him, that was the most exciting thing that had happened thus far.

"Normally if there is a possibility of finding knowledge lost to the ages I am all for it. But in this case the knowledge that might be in the void that hold the name may only be a lure. As much as I would like to find some lost knowledge Matt, this time I must warn against such a thing. Me, a Watcher and seeker of knowledge, refusing to obtain or seek out lost knowledge is something that does not happen very often my friend. As much as I appreciate your enthusiasm I must warn against it. You are right in thinking that there is knowledge hidden in the voids that hold the names but the risk of learning the name is too great to outweigh the price of knowledge gained." said Rhen.

"Now for my question Forlirn.......what is it exactly we are looking for here in these ruins? I know you said anything that might be of use but is there anything truly specific we are searching for? I mean just anything ins't really nothing if it does not help us in our battle against the Seekers and Nhil." said Rhen turning his attention now to Forlirn.
