Drayne sat next to his son-in-soul, taking it all in. He rested his head against his hands, which were balanced on his knees and shaped into fists. "Good thing we aren't far from Thunder Plains," was the first thing he managed to say after a minute or so. "We need to save Azura's children and get Shiguru's orb back at the same time, get the Sword of Thunder Plains, and get back with enough time to form an army capable of fighting an army of ice men. We'll probably need lots of fire-based weapons, like torches and flamming arrows. The only hope our land has rests on our shoulders...we must be the first to get the sword, or our land is doomed. We must defeat the Frozen Beneath's army, or our land is doomed. Phoenix is the only one who can wield the sword, I'm the only one who can confront your real mother. Shiguru is probably the only one who can handle that orb of his. Draklos is probably our best bet of finding that thief. You're the only one who knows exactly what was happening when you were down there. Blazing skies, it's as if when I first met up with Phoenix all those weeks ago, destiny and fate were showing us the way." Drayne sighed heavily. "I think I can find a way to work everything out: Shiguru and Draklos, along with whoever is free to help, will track down the thief. Red and I, along with Aidyn and yourself, will go to Thunder Plains and get the sword. He'll need my help with our old enemies. Afterwards we'll go deal with your mother, and Phoenix will find us an army. Anyone else who has any political influence should do the same. We have to be quick about this, as time is not on our side. The hour of Destiny is rapidly approaching, and we must be ready when it comes. Perhaps we should even try and find those who abandoned the quest earlier on, such as Shamira and Vahn. Ah, poor old Vahn. I wonder how he's doing doing now?"

Draklos still lied in the same room he landed in,but unconscious,the ones pointing weapons at him were either hunters or guard,it wouldn't really matter though,at least not for Draklos. Something was telling Draklos to wake up and defend himself,not killing or hurting anyone,something that would be hard to do,and even,he was too tired to defend himself...he however wake up,but not open his eyes,knowing that the men are surely waiting to see if Draklos was still alive... Draklos: (What can I do?I'm too weak to move and if I ever only open my eyes then I will be toast...) He stayed there eyes closed,thinking about what to do...

Despihigus strode into a collosal hall. The roof was so high up, he couldn't see the roof. Large banners with the sign of the Sirigoho hung from the walls, and guards patrolled the area. There where several large tables in the hall, some laden with food, others with weapons, some with gold, and some with miscellanious items. Desiphigus reached some steps after several minutes, which he then climbed quickly. He reached the top and walked towards a large, black throne. The throne was mesmirising... it was at least ten feet high, and was padded with black velvet. It was incrusted with Idioch, the black gold, and had ancient Sirogo runes carved into the back.
Desiphigus placed his hand on the arm of the throne. "My Lord..." He began, with a hint of fear in his voice. "Ah... Desiphigus" Said a hoarse yet powerful voice. "My Lord, I have retrieved the orb from that traitor Shiguru," Began Desiphigus. "He has befriended some warriors, one of which is Drayne Hidora, the man who wields the Buster sword. Although I got the orb, I did not have time nor the chance to retrieve the pendant or the Artirace Shiguru carries (OOC: the Artirace is that little screwdriver thingie Shiguru tried to use to open the orb)." "Desiphigus, this is not up to standards. I am greatly dissapointed in you..." Said the voice calmly, but clearly in anger. "My lord, I will go back and get both of them!" Desiphigus exclaimed. "No, it is too late for that, my son. They will be expecting us... we will wait for Shiguru to come to us - he clearly will." Said the Lord. "And when he does, not only will we take the pendant and the Artirace, we will also make sure he does not betray us again..." "My Lord, there is one other thing..." Began Desiphigus, smugly. "I have managed to bring back Medoris and Jydilis, in which Dillian failed." The voice sounded shocked and pleased, as it said "Have you now... bring them in. And you may leave."
Desiphigus jogged down the stairs, and walked quickly to the door He muttered something to around 10 gaurds, who dragged Medoris and Jydilis, tied up, to the feet of the stairs.
"You know what to do." Said the Lord.
The gaurds took them towards a table with a desk next to it. the desk was filled with tools of torture.

Drayne, still deep in thought, got up. "Come on, Kel," he said, his voice low. "I need to speak with the others. Before I do, however, Tell me everything you can tell me about this army. Where will they strike? When are they planning to do it? Most importantly of all: why?"

Aidyn listened intently through the revelations that had been quickly revealed, perhaps things were going a bit too fast for him. He wasn't even supposed to be here, the Kaiser was bound to have kicked him out of this mission...but if this whole thing was true, then he might as well try to gain some support from the Unknown Lands..yes, he hated to associate with humans, but after the army of the Frozen Beneath defeats these fools..they definitly continue onward..
"Let's go then.." Aidyn exclaimed, "the longer we wait the mroe time we lose..let us hold counsel now, and not later..lest we give the enemy time.."

Red Phoenix called the group together in the meeting room Azura usually used to brief teams of hunters. "Okay," he said, he voice tense. "It's time to show that we can make a difference it our world's fate, that destiny has chosen us to stop invaders from taking everything we have worked to hard to obtain. We all have our reasons to fight, to travel, to wander...but now, the quest we began so long ago is at its end. All things have an end, but where our adventure ends, our destinies begin." He drew his sword, the Crystal Blade, and held it in front of his face. "I am not willing to stand by and let the land I can home be destroyed by beasts from below!" Drayne stood behind his friend, leaning against the wall. He smiled. "Nor I, old friend," he said as he drew the Buster Blade. "Now we must plan our journey. Karen is treating Shiguru's wounds right now, and he'll be up and ready to go after that Sirigoho thief soon enough. Draklos will go with him, as will Azura and a small team of hunters. Red Phoenix, Kel, Aidyn and myself will be heading to Thunder Plains, which is a two day walk from here. Zark and his master, Gauss, will be there soon. If they get the Sword of Thunder Plains before we do we won't die an icy death, we'll be burned when the heavens become alive with lightning. All will be destroyed. After our present tasks are done, we can focus on the invasion. Remember, these beings are of ice. Fire is their weakness. Rally support from whoever you think can help. I'm sure mentioning that our land is doomed unless they help will convince them. Kel and I will be going after their Queen. If what he told me is true than I may be the only one who can slay her. Now is the time to choose your paths. Which path will you each take?"

"..I will follow after you." Aidyn replied, as he nodded. "..for the time being anyway. Who would've thought a kid like me, on a routine survey would find himself in such a predicament. Lenora, what about you?"
"I can't safely say.." Lenora said, "but I know a place I can rally some support. What kind of support it may be, I cannot say..I'll go by myself..and I won't need any help. I'll come around when your in danger..it shouldn't take me long, I'll meet you at the plains.."

"I will go with you, fa...Drayne," Kel said with a hint of hesitation in his voice.

Red:
"Then it's time to move...our enemy it's already there or near it...we must go. Kel, Aidyn and Drayne, we will go now to the Thunder Plains." he said that in a deep voice. "i would like to have all of you in my group now, but it's impossible..." he turned his back...and watched his sword..."We will not lose this battle...I, The old leader of the Phoenix Clan and called by the Phoenix has Red...I promise that We WILL WIN THIS BATTLE!...Even if i die...i will have always someone to replace me and take over my name...My dream was already made...I’ve reunited the best warriors of this Land...and I’ve reborn the Phoenix Clan from the Ashes...just like the Legend of the Phoenix...Fire bird born from the Ashes...I’m proud of you, my warriors...and now let's fight for the Peace of The World!" He said that like a real Leader...something that he never had made before...even knowing that he was the leader of the group, he never had made any moves like one...but now we could see the real Leader that was sleeping in the Ashes.

Drayne smiled at his friend's words, and while the others were talking he quietly slipped out of the room. In one of the bedrooms Shiguru lay stretched out on a bed, Karen applying a wet cloth to his head. She looked up and saw her fiancée. He walked towards her and took her in his arms. "Listen," he said. "A lot has happened. These are our last days of the adventure. Afterwards, we'll go build a house out by Marna Lake. I recently found out Kel isn't my real son, but I think it would be nice to adopt him, don't you? As for what to do now, go find your Uncle Alessio in Tifano. As a political advisor he should be able to get the ball rolling on the formation of an army to battle our icy enemies." Karen nodded.
"I'll be glad to help in any way I can," she told him. "Just don't go out there and come back dead again!" He smiled a sad smiled, kissed her quickly, then let go. "I'd better go find Draklos," he said quietly before leaving to room.

As Drayne came out to where the rest of the group was, Kel looked at him intently.
"Father. I know you will do it...You have to..." he said quietly to himself.

Drayne rested a hand on Kel's shoulder. "No, Kel," he said reassuringly, "WE'LL do it. I'll be needing your help. Excuse me for a moment." He walked off to a side room.
Four hunters had Draklos surrounded, but he appeared unconcious. Drayne knew better. "Relax boys," he said with a wave of his hand. "He's harmless. He's a friend of ours, and our best bet of finding Azura's kin. Don't try to put him in chains and you'll all be fine." The hunters reluctantly nodded and lowered their weapons while leaving the room.

Red:
He walks and goes near Drayne. "Do you think that we should use Draklos to find Azura's kin?...i don't know why, but i fell that something it's going to happen if we use him...i would prefer not to use him, but if it's the only way...then I guess that i have nothing else to do, right?" he asked with a serious face...almost with no emotions...by the first time Red was showing a face with no emotion...he was very concentrate...almost like he was preparing to fight something most powerful then any thing else that he have fight...
