Frilarth opened his eyes at the tapping and looked over at Pendant.
"Huh? What is it? Are the potatoes marching?"
<Well... I suppose I could... although I don't really know what I would want to do for enjoyment, considering I've never actively sought it before...>
<Bah, now you're just being ridiculous. I don't see any reason not to. Most of the Soulbound still appear to be asleep, and there's always the possibility that they keep her occupied throughout the day.>
Forlirn was in fact awake. He was lying on top of Soul's massive head (which she had laid back down), which was where he had slept for the night. He nodded to Rhen as he approached, though he did not break the silence.
Shortly after Fiszorx had landed, the Soulbound dragon who had "welcomed" Matthew and Caelidorus to the clan approached him. He was certainly quite large for a dragon, slightly taller than even the large Terran Dragon. It was obvious he wasn't necessarily a peaceful dragon, as much of his body was covered in a large burn scar, leaving the furred mane his sort of dragon possessed absent in some areas and claiming one of his eyes. Despite this however his tone was relatively friendly, albeit noticeably guarded. "Greetings, traveler. Are you with the other travelers?" It was quite unusual for the clan to receive more separate outsiders at the same time, so he thought Fiszorx might have been another member of the group that was currently with the clan.

Fixszorx would let loose an uneasy thrumming sound, slowly gazing the other over, then gazing back up at him, his eyes seemingly just locked on the other's features for a full minute before be even began to speak. "No...I am by my lonesome." he rumbled, his voice rather deep and booming, if not a bit gravelly. He would slowly take a single pace back, dipping his head respectfully and adressing them all "I apologize for mine intrusion. I am Fixszorx, and foreboding be damned - I may be the last of my kind." He says, sounding gravely uneasy "Unless you have seen my kin travelling. I am simply trying to find my own place to stay, a place of safety where I can rest and eat. In return I offer you my favor. Anything you wish to ask of me I shall freely do in your name." he says, a slight tinge of despiration at his tone. He was clearly feeling distressed.

He would raise his head and take his time to look upon each of them, examining them with his dark green eyes. His form seemed to be rather still, despite his current mood, his chest barely moving from his breaths. Despite his panic, he appeared to be mostly tranquil. His gaze was particularly on the human - not in any hostile way, but simply curious, not having seen one of her kind too often. He would quickly avert his gaze back to the other dragon, not wanting to offend him. By the way he had observed their actions he interpreted they were close - and did not seem to wish to be a threat.

"Forlirn. I need your opinion on something." said Rhen, breaking the silence. "I was wonder what you thought of me merging my mind with Frilarn's as Matt did with Caelidorus. I have thought it over in my head and have come up with several things. One, it might give us a way to communicate to Frilarn and two, I run the risk of becoming infected with the taint that has infected him. I was wonder what you think. Should I go through with it? Or should I not?"

<Well besides serving the clan, what sort of things do you consider fun or enjoyable? There has to be some things, whether you will admit them or not.>
<Don't expect me to be polite to Soul. I will say what I want to say to her. You know what I think of her kind, so I will enjoy being able to tell my opinions. Maybe some of them will penetrate that thick skull of hers. I highly doubt that though.>
Matt stretched one more time and then climbed out of the circle that Caelidorus had curled into. "Are you ready to go?" He asked.

The dragon slowly eyed Fixsorx over as the Terran Dragon spoke, evidently studying him intently. However, once Fixsorx had finished speaking, the battered dragon smiled slightly and nodded.
"Well then, welcome to the Soulbound, Fixsorx. We'll certainly offer you hospitality here, though I can't say much about a permanent home. You'd be best off asking Soul about that, though you might be a bit startled by her size if you've never seen an ancient before, though you can probably see from here that she is the size of a mountain. As for me, I'd love to stay and further welcome you, but I need sleep and one of the recent travelers has turned out to be quite a ruffian, meaning he needs watched by my other while I rest. And he doesn't take well to outsiders, so I'll spare you the unneeded lash of his words and let you make your own way among the clan."
The dragon turned and slowly walked off, his gaze predictably returning to Matthew.
Forlirn frowned lightly, thinking.
"...Considering the nature of the Abyss and that Frilarn seems to radiate some abyssal aura himself, there's a definite possibility that the taint would spread to you, which I should mention is fatal most of the time. However, Frilarn is supposed to be immune to the taint..."
Soul blinked slowly, interrupting Forlirn.
"The tainted light of Lux... that what should not happen... It was written to be his greatest weakness in the Tome of Vates..."
<I told you, I don't know... I mean, I suppose I like flying, but I don't exactly consider that to be a bad thing to do, so it can't be enjoyable.>
<Yes yes, I realize you're highly biased against the ancients. Now lets get this over with before we risk spending all day arguing about silly matters.>
Caelidorus quickly got up, nodding lightly. "Of course I'm ready. Why wouldn't I be?"

"What do you mean Soul? I am still a new commer to the lore of your race. Could you explain further so that I may understand?" said Rhen when he heard what Soul had to say.
~I wonder what she means. And what is this tome that she speaks of and what other knowledge exists inside it?~ thought Rhen.

Fixszorx would seem to gaze right at him as he spoke his words, finally giving a very stiff nod before he finally spoke out again as he turned "My kind...have a great respect for all things and beings large and sturdy." he says, giving somewhat of a grunt, gazing across at the massive ancient not too far away, then finally back at the one whom had spoken to him as he seemed to return to his duties, he attempted to approach Soul and simply await their attention in the one way he knew - simply sitting down, thumping his tail against the ground and staring right up at them, his expression completely neutral, and posture rather straight, almost like a statue. He was not too rude - he did not want to inturupt their converastion, and simply waited there in order to get noticed, his belly expanding slightly with each breath, his wings tucked back neatly.

<Well lets focus on flying then. Do you like doing acrobatics or anything else that has to do with flying that your clan might see as useless?>

<We've never argued about anything! Everytime we come close to arguing, we stop and calm down. I don't think we have to worry at all about arguing.>
Matt smiled. "Because you were still curled up like you were ready to go to sleep." He said. He walked over to where Forlirn and Soul was and waited for Caelidorus to speak. As Matt waited, he noticed that there seemed to be another dragon that had joined them. Curious, he decided to talk to it. "Hello there. You don't seem to be a member of this clan. Am I correct? My name is Matthew by the way. What is yours?" He asked.

“He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.”

"Grant me a moment... the time was long ago, near the hatching..." Soul replied before closing her eyes, thinking far into the past. Eventually, she began speaking again. "Vates... one of the elders... he saw into the time to come and wrote of it in the Tome... The Tome said many things, though not all were to happen, for time shifts paths at random, and paths often conflict. One path Vates wrote of spoke a terrible prophesy in which a tainted bearer of Lux's light destroyed his life. The one you speak of... he matches the one in the tome."
Soul slowly nodded to Fixszorx as he sat down after approaching.
"Greetings, traveler. What is it do you seek?"
<I do so, but there's nothing about flying we really consider useless. Every maneuver has the possibility of serving a use in combat, so we never really see them as useless.>
<True... perhaps debating but never reaching the point of arguing would be more accurate.>
Caelidorus followed Matt toward Soul, eying the gargantuan ancient with a mixture of wonder and slight suspicion. However, he said nothing, as he was quite unsure what to say. Soul broke the silence first.
"Welcome, travelers," she spoke, greeting both Matthew and Caelidorus.

Fixszorx would slowly turn his head to answer Matt's question, ableit quickly in order as to not appear disinterested to Soul, though he ends up talking to both of them as she addresses him "My name is Fixszorx." he explains, turning his head and gazing up to the ancient "And I fear - I pray not - that I am the last of my kind. I have travelled here in hope of finding a suitable place to call home and I have not been able to. Two of your...compatriots have directed me to you - saying you may help, great one.
If you would do so, I shall serve you freely - as is right - and be in your favor." he utters, dipping his head slowly. He was also slowly noticing the gravity of the situation now - evident by how tense he also seemed, his claws slowly digging into the ground, scooping a large amount of dirt and rock under him with absolutely no effort, his tail laying stiff behind him and his eyes still bound to the ancient - and occasionally wondering to Matt. Curiosity began to set in what this 'clan' was, not having heard of it himself, though he knew better then to inturrupt an elder female.
