"Thank you," Pendant tipped off the traveling merchant who helped her sell her wares and accompanied her to one of the cities on his route. With the gold she received for her furs and novelties indigenous to the tribes back west suffering year-long winters in the mountains she'd be able to utilize the city's resources to get a lead on where her companions headed, if anyone remembered.

*There's something here that will lead me to them~ she reassured herself. ~Quitting isn't an option anymore.~

Countless hours of going door to door, asking about Forlirn and Matt and Rhen among others they'd met but may have become separated as well, lay ahead of her.

''If Umbra wishes to hear then that is fine by me Animus. I just do not want to worry my companions should the answer to the question I am about to ask you is what I perceive. I just need to be sure of something in the long run that is all.'' said Rhen as he looked over his shoulder towards his companions waiting for Umbra to return them to slumber.

Once the others had returned to their bodies to slumber Rhen turned his attention to Animus. It was rare to see a Watcher with a worried and downcast look. In fact it was rare for a Watcher to show emotion at all.

''As you are no doubt aware my body has been tainted by the void. So far only a physical change has shown. But there have been times where I have heard things when near or when opening a rift. Animus.....I need you to walk my mind and tell me if there is any danger to my mind should this void taint spread further. If I am to become a danger to my friends then I cannot bring myself to travel with them any longer. I just need to know for sure if the void is only changing my body but not my mind. Also....I have a proposition to make you Umbra. Until such time as to a way to free you can be found so you may form a new body; I might be able to build you one as I have built replacements for my missing limbs.'' said Rhen his arms at his side.

"As i've said, I have no objections with being sent into sleep. Have a good night everyone. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow." Matt said. Before Rhen had begun to speak, Matt shut his eyes and began to sleep.

He dreamed of the camp. Camp B-4 was his home for around three or four months after his home was destoryed. Being a young child then, he devoted most of his time to exploring the nearby woods and playing with other surviving children. Having no nearby living relatives, there was no one to stop him. Yet he was not running in the woods now. He was huddled under a blanket along with the other residents in the camp. The tent they were in was dominated by a large screen. On the screen was a much younger Emperor Romanos. He sat on his throne facing both a swarm of cameras and the crowd of nobility that had gathered to hear him speak. He had paused his speech to allow the cheering in the crowd to die down. "And yet this is not a time for celebration. Ten thousand innocent human citizens are dead. Ten thousand. Ten thousand men, women, and even children who thought mainly of their family and their home. The demons call them aggressors because they live within my realm. But Brothers and Sisters, they were not the aggressor. It is the demon who started this war, and it is the demon who will pay the price! I have ordered our soldiers to storm the north. There they will spill the blood of the invader. They slayed ten thousand of us but we will slay a HUNDRED thousand of them!" The crowd began to cheer again. Even the boy smiled. ~He cares about me! He understands what I am going through! I thought that perhaps we were wrong about the dragons (Wait, they are not dragons, there are only demons and humans) but the only one who was wrong was me. The Emperor will avenge me and I, Matthew LeVerne, will fight for him. The demons will know my name, I swear.~

"Brothers, to me!" The man said. He gestured towards his comrades. The men advanced slowly towards him. The man then returned his attention to the mage. "If you cooperate then everything will be fine. We will make no attempt to harm you or to bring shame upon your name. You have no doubt heard the rumours of people leaving interrogations with less limbs then they came with and others who are nought but gibbering messes. There is truth to these rumours, but the individuals who suffered these fates were ones who thought they could hide the truth from us. The ones who are cooperative will be allowed to leave without any harm having been done." The man said before turning to his men who had finished arriving. "Brothers, bind this man. Brother Jakob, I want you to gather anything that the creature leaves behind when he finally dissipates. This individual has informed me of a possible residue that will be left when the creature leaves. Make that a top priority." "Yes, Brother-Captain." The others said. A couple of men approached the mage and forced him to his knees. They then handcuffed the mage and placed a blindfold over his head. The mage could still walk however doing so without being ordered to was foolish at best.

((Hey Pendant! Nice to see you again. If you want one of us to RP with you then just tell us where your character is and I am sure one of us will be happy to have a character meet up with you.))

Name: Gonad Yaksplitter

Age: 33

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Fighter Stats- Height: 7'2". Weight: 226 kg. Reach: 92". Shoe Size: 24.

Appearance: A body resembling tanned granite that might as well have been chistled by the gods. Pure unadulterated muscle. Lean muscle that ripples under his flesh like the waves of the ocean. He has muscles on his muscles. Feet Muscles. Finger muscles. Muscles in places that muscles should not be. Bulging veins, thick and course. Tendons like steel cords. Fingers like blunt iron rods. Long, sinewy limbs crafted for naught but phenomenal destruction. His enormous yet supple frame moves with a primal grace, the likes of which are comparable only to the untamed beasts of the wild. He boasts a great dark gray beard speckled with the blood and bone flakes of his foes, flowing down his freakishly striated chest in thick oily waves reminiscent of the River Styx. From it emanates the very stench of death and graverot, every bit as inescapable as his peircing glare. Within his single eye resides an undying flame, sizzling hotter than the arse-winds of Satan himself.
His body is riddled with the innumerable wounds left by his combative livelihood. Where the scars do not cover his body, coarse manly hair, thick and strong like steel wool, does.

Personality: Gonad seeks nothing more than worthy opponents to fight. He lives only for pushing the boundaries of human strength and spirit, pushing himself beyond the utmost limit in extreme combat. He fears not death, nor pain, nor loss, for it is from these things that the vigor and strength of true manhood and honor spring. He revels in the pain, luxuriates in death, and basks in loss. To fight for honor, the honor of both himself, and for the honor of those who are unable to defend themselves against the dishonorable. There is no life, death, joy, sadness. Nothing but the fist of Gonad exists, eternally judging the honorable from the dishonorable, and crushing all who dare oppose it.

History: For many ages, the Yaksplitter family of Elune has been renowned for its strength. Gonad's birth was the very culmination of generations of hard-earned might, his destiny pre-determined by his ancestors. Their intent? To create the perfect physical human, born only to fight. And so Gonad was. Every waking moment of his life, from even before he could walk, he was made to train with a relentless fervor that surpassed common sense. The strongest barbarian tribe put forth their utmost efforts to create this human weapon, drawing upon all their available resources just for the sake of one child. He trained until he sweat blood. He fought until he was on the verge of death from sheer exhaustion. And still was he pushed, harder and harder...
Gonad has since become a legendary veteran and warrior, feared by many.
How many battles has he seen? How many enemies could be packed into just thirty-three years of life? Only Gonad knows. And he is only too eager to share his experience...

Weaponry: He is deadliest with just his body and nothing else. When restraining himself or training, however, Gonad will wear a pair of eleven kilo metal bracers and a set of twenty ounce knuckles.

"I can tell if your mind bears signs of corruption, but I cannot tell you if it will corrupt your mind in the future if your mind is currently pure," Animus answered. "The mind is the link between the body and soul. It is more susceptible to corruption to the soul, but afflictions of the body may also spread to the mind. You would be wise to moniter yourself closely if you fear your mind will become influenced."
Umbra tilted his head slightly and arched an eyeridge. "Build me a body? Hah, I wouldn't believe such a thing possible... although I would hardly turn such a thing down if it were somehow possible... it would be astounding."

The mage let out a grunt, though it seemed he was wise enough not to attempt anything, simply remaining kneeling as his new captors. "Nothing but specifically prepared witchwood will keep that foul substance on this world, which I strongly doubt you possess. Magic does not last here."
The abomination let out another shriek, clearly frantic now as it attacked the seemingly impervious boundary of the circle. The sky continued to darken... then the creature abruptly exploded, showering the stone circle with a tarry substance. Aside from the residue, there was no sign it had even been there; even the bodies of the cultists were gone.

((Doc: Your bio is accepted. Most of our characters are currently deep beneath the northern wastes of Neuva. One disclaimer of sorts I should share with you is I'm extremely busy with offline life currently. Resultingly, the pace of this thread is very slow.))

''At this moment that is all I need Animus. For if my mind is already being corrupted then I might know what lies ahead for me. If my mind is indeed corrupted by the Void then it is only a matter of time before my strength of will fails me. But if the corruption is subtle enough then I may be able to suppress it. I just want to be sure that I am not putting my friends in danger from myself.'' Said Then with a sigh.

''If I can learn more about dragon physiology I might be able to build you a new body Umbra. I have built replacements for my own missing limbs so building an entire body should not be so hard. But fair warning it may take some time for me to learn enough dragon physiology before I can begin construction. So you will be trapped a while longer yet my Ancient friend.'' Replied Then to Umbra's comment.

Matts dream shifted to what appeared to be an endless gray void. Unlike other dreams where he either did not realize he was dreaming or was simply unable to interact with or change his dream in anyway, he found that he retained the ability to think and to reason. It was as if his mind wanted him to be aware of his condition. From within the gray void came an image of himself back at the camp from his previous dream. "That was when I began to hate their kind." Matt said to no one or nothing in particular. This was a dream after all. Who could hear him? "I had no real problem with dragon kind or any other 'kind' before. I was a kid who was ignorant of the ways of the worlds then. A live and let live approach made the most sense to me. But then the attack came and... all I could think of was killing one of them. I was filled with a rage and... I guess assumed that I needed to do this to allow my rage to leave but killing one just made me want to kill another, and then another, and another."

Matt paused as the image disappeared. The gray void of his dream showed no signs of leaving however. ~My mind... or whatever controls my dreams wants me to continue.~ He sighed and then did just that. "Well, now look at me. I woke up yesterday next to a dragon, rode on a dragons back, talked with one, joked with one and even share my mind with one... the obvious conclusion from that is that I have overcome my hatred and accepted their kind but that is not true. I've come across many dragons since I began this journey and the first thought that crosses my mind when I first see them is... disgust. I've mentioned trying to make peace with them but I’m not sure that's what I want. I don't know what I want. I care about everyone in this group, especially Caelidorus, but... I don't know. I want to like their kind, I really do, but... I just can't."

((Sorry, I couldn't really think of what to post so I decided to look into my characters psyche.))

“You may very well be correct. However that it none of my concern. I was ordered to gather what I could from the ritual site. The substance is currently at the ritual site and thus it will be gathered. Besides, even if the substance does disappear, the one who gathers it will be infected. I'm sure my superiors will be interested in learning more about the virus that results from such an incident. Brother Jakob, photograph this substance and then gather a sample of it for further study.” The leader said.
The soldier known as Brother Jakob saluted and said “As you command.” He produced a camera and snapped several photographs of the tarry substance. Putting the camera away, he then took out a small vial and filled the vial with a portion of the substance. “It is done.” The leader said. “Escort our guest back to the jeep. He will ride with me. The rest of you are to return to your vehicles.” The two soldiers from before forced the mage to his feet and began their trek back to the convoy.
