Carie was hopping on Fiera to go to the aid of the others, when her 
Dragon responded...

*Carie, we've been told not to even consider leaving.  Waylene.*

Carie climbed off of her Dragon, walked over to the nearest wall, and 
stood leaning, arms crossed, against it.

*She says she doesn't want the Dragons in battle to worry about a Queen 
being there.*

"Fine, Love, just do me a favor?  Start informing the Dragons not to be 
surprised if a Queen is with them in battle.  That way, they Dont' worry, 
we dont' worry.  No way in Hell am I staying back here, twiddling my damn 
thumbs while everyone else is risking life and limb.  This time, maybe.  
But, be sure to tell them."

*not a problem.  I will start informing them.*

After the Battle


Malk hobbled to the Marrid Medical Center.  His leg was set after a short 
time, but there were still problems.  He could have sworn that the Doctor 
was smiling as he straightened out his leg.  No matter.  Several of the 
Marrid force came to see him, discuss their problems, what he had done, 
etcetera ad nauseam.

*Malk, they want you to stay a while.*

"Screw that," he thought.  "Stay so they can Exile me for 'crimes against 
Dragonkind'?  I don't think so."

*And where does that leave me*

"I don't know.  I dont' seem to remember  you there when I fell into that 
pit, if I remember right, you ran away!"

Yenal just remained quiet.  He knew what Malk intended to do, and the 
Gods help him, Yenal would help him.

Later that evening, when most had fallen asleep, Malk crept out, and 
struggled to get aboard Yenal.  In a Blink, both were gone.

The next morning, Yenal, having been back for hours, woke and waited.  
David was the first to arrive, and notice Malk was gone.  David stormed 
up to the Dragon.

"Where is he?" He shouted.

*First, you will stop yelling, and commanding me, Human!  Whereas I get 
along with your kind, somethings you odn't do to your own kind, let alone 
Dragons.  If you speak with such missplaced authority among your own 
kind, it's a wonder you're still alive.  Secondly, Malk is gone.  He 
asked me to transport him late last night, and I doubt we'll see him 
again.  We teleported to the wastes...and parted ways.  He went into the 
Wastes.  I returned here, to rectify part of the harm he ahd done.  I had 
no control on him,b ut was around, just the same, and therefore am just 
as guilty.  Thereby, I shall pay my debt to this warren before becoming 
Wild, for make no doubt, the bond between my human and I is gone now.*

NRPG:  Welp, Malk is gone for a while (Will he return?  Only the Shadow 
Knows!  HEHEHEHEHE), but, Yenal is still around.  Have fun.
