Sayli continued to track on the ground while maintaining the psychic 
link with his dragon soaring silently overhead.  It wasn't long before 
Onyx contacted him, <I think I've been spotted, Dawn Breaker!>

Sayli stood stock still.  He almost whispered his thoughts, <By whom?> 
The large, black dragon slid invisibly through the dark night, <A dragon 
called 'Fayloth' transported in, barely missing me...I had to swerve to 
avoid a mid-air collision.  I am unsure if they are following...>

<Damn...> Sayli cursed.  He had wanted to keep up with the interloper as 
he snuck out of the warren, but already, this little diversion had cost 
precious time.  He would have to take to the skies to continue the 
search.  If Saul and Fayloth were following, it would be better to get 
them to help track the mysterious person.  Four eyes were better than 
two! <NRPG:  For all us glasses wearers, here to us, baby! 8-)>

Onyx landed in a clearing and Sayli mounted up.  His observations of the 
training class earlier had taught him a neat trick or two about quick 
mounting a dragon, he was pleased it worked.  Soon, the two black-clad 
figures were into the skies.

<Look, there he is!>  Onyx mentally directed Sayli's vision, assisting 
him with his own natural night vision.  Soon, the image of Saul and his 
dragon were apparent to Sayli, even in the pitch blackness of night.  
<Send to Fayloth what we are doing, and ask if he and his rider could 
join us in our search!>

The ebony colored dragon obeyed, and the other two late night riders 
were gliding alongside the first two.  "Greetings, Saul, and well met 
indeed!"  Sayli's almost formal speech seemed odd to the older man, who 
stroked his greying beard, "Greetings, Sayli.  What's this about a 
sneak?"

Sayli conveyed his findings, and attempt to track the villianous shadow.  
Saul listneed intently and then nodded, "I think I know where this 
'being' is headed.  I know this country, and every hiding place near the 
warren.  Follow me!"

Like shooting stars, the two dragons sheered the night winds, carrying 
their riders on a break-neck ride into the tree line, and swerving 
wildly around large rocks, and fallen trees to a hidden valley, riddled 
with caves and treacherous footing.

Respectfully,
Wendon Pettey
Sayli/Onyx

NRPG:  Kris, thanks for the assist! :-)
