<< Marrid Warren - Day 4 (Xylian Timeline) >>

D'nar looked across the dining hall and spotted the former Xylian rider
sitting alone. "Talitha." He called.

She turned, looking up at him, "Hi D'nar, you look like a man on a mission."

"Yes, I am," He grinned.  "We've decided to take you up on your suggestion
to take a trip to Xylian to see what it is we're facing with these damned
pockets."

Talitha nodded, "Good, I do think it'll help. How many will be going with
me?"

"Well me for sure," D'nar said, "And then we'll take several other
volunteers."

<< Marrid Warren - Day 5, Morning (Xylian Timeline) >>

D'nar, Talitha and Tina had gathered on the green with their things all
packed for a trip to Xylian Warren .. and to wait for the vote. Once the
vote was taken then three of them were going to head to Xylian.

D'nar had mixed feelings. He hated to see this vote even take place,
however, from all the data they had so far, it was very likely that Marrid
would be hit by fluctuating magic. They couldn't chance that it would happen
and wipe out the warren. Moving to a safer local was the best option. He had
no doubt the dragonriders who had been effected already by fluctuating magic
would agree .. however the landbound were another story .. and ALL would be
included in this vote. From the longest-lived dragonrider to the lowliest
kitchen dredge.

There were many somber faces watching as the junior queenrider .. no, he
corrected himself .. the acting warrenlady laid the fact out for them.

Even as her words turned his blood cold so did the air around him .. and
panic hit as he felt himself  clinging to Porthios with all his might.

<Porthios!>

<D'nar ..> the dragons voice felt weak and it became clear what was
happening.

<Porthios .. fly! Fly!> He called panicked, as he scrambled up onto the
monsters back. They had to get out of there.

All around him panic amongst the dragon riders ensued. Dragons collapsed ..
dragons took to the air .. dragons howled in pain and fright and sadness.

<.. evacuation .. evacuation ..> D'nar barely heard his dragon's cry as the
evacuation call was sent out. The acting Wingleader focused his mind on his
dragon and pictured the first thing that came into his head. Porthios
grabbed onto that scrap and kreeling in agony the two teleported out of the
chaos of Marrid Warren.

D'nar was roused as he heard mumbling around him, "Who is he?"

He lifted his head, and looked around. He didn't remember this place! "Where
.." he started to whisper, then was nudge by a large brown head. He breathed
in relief as he felt Porthios' presence, once again strong and unbroken.
"Porthios." He hugged the dragon's snout.

"Are you okay," someone asked, the turned to another person. "Quick go get
Nineve!"

D'nar turned to look at the man, "Where am I?"

"Just outside of Xylian Warren .."

Regards,
D'nar & Porthios
