Michel awoke to blackness.

  "Wha.." he thought to himself.

*Michel!  You are awake.  Try not to move*

  Was he dreaming?  "Paranth, what's going on, I don't remember..."

*Michel, we were searchign for food.  That human hit you with some kind 
of staff.  You went down, and two Wraiths started toward us.  Please 
remember*

  Paranth's voice was coming thru quickly, as if the Dragon were moving 
very fast.

  "What's up?  Why is this smoke here?"

*I created the smoke.  When I first blew my fire, it created this smoke.  
I can see thru it fine, tho...dunno what good that side effect is..*

  "I can't.  All i see is darkness," and speaking of seeing..," And even 
that i'm not doing so good...it's like..like I'm seeing half the world."

  Michel reached up to his left eye, and paused, as his hand touched 
something slick.  Michel reeled, realizing it was his own blood.  "Great, 
Now not only do we have no food for our dragons, but I lose one of my 
Eyes trying to help!"

  *Michel, we'll worry about it later..I sent out a call..help should be 
on the way.*

  At that point, Michel heard a series of Dragon Calls.  Paranth replied 
back, and saw a few come towards him.  Michel could barely make out the 
Dragon's shape moving around him in the smoke, but knew he was there.

  *The Wraiths can't see thru the smoke...From what the others say, only 
Dragons can see thru this smoke.  Tho, they say more Wraiths are showing up.*

  "Great, Just waht we need to set up a perfect day."

  Michel regretted having to reach up, but knew something was in his 
eye.  He reached up, finding just a spot where something had hit him, and 
bounced off, cutting his eye in the process.

  As he tried to get to his feet, he stumbled.

*Michel.  I'm receiving a message from the Rogue Dragonrider.  He says 
his name is Malk Bromitz.  He says he's going to destroy Keldarra.*
