Selethina gasped in a deep breath. Did that really just happen? Did she really just have the vision she's been waiting for? It was terrible! All the fighting; all the death. She could hardly stand it. At the same time, a sense of relief accompanied this vision. She finally knew something that would most certainly be of use. Finally, she knew that all the quiet really was leading to something bigger; she hadn't imagined it.
"Ryker did you see that? We need to find Elin and Ryagin immediately. They need to know what we just saw," she told him urgently, hoping he experienced the vision as well. These things were always easier to explain when someone else saw them too.
"Of course. I will be there as soon as I can," was all he said, but Selethina understood the meaning behind it. He had the vision as well, but he was not alone now. He would have to separate himself from whoever his companions were and then he would come to her. In the meantime, her job was to do her best to find the Chiefs of Excalibur.
Determined to find them as quickly as she can, Selethina pushed of the ground and into the air. If they were out in the open, it would be easier to find them from the skies. She flew over the camp, around the forest, over Lake Mortez and still see no sign of them. She extended her boundaries, flying father away from camp and hoping to find them soon. After searching for a while with nothing to show for it, Selethina began to return back to camp. When she'd almost arrived, she thought she saw a large blue dragon in a clearing. If she was right, that should be Ryagin. "Hail Chief Ryagin," she greeted from a distance, hoping she was not mistaken. That would be quite embarrassing.

The day was a perfect day for flying. A light cloud cover, with a soft breeze. Just enough to make the burning sun feel just warm against his scales.
Elin and he had decided to go for a flight. They hadn't gone just to fly in ages and it was long past due. Before they could be cornered by anyone needing one of the two to solve a menial problem, they took off from Ryagin's cave, soaring into the sunrise. Their flight lasted a few hours before they decided to turn around. They landed in a small clearing in the trees to get back into the mindset of chief. We don't do that enough. Elin thought to Ryagin as she stretched out her sore muscles. I agree, we let ourselves become distant from the needs of ourselves." He flinched at her mental chuckle at his wording. There was a small pond nearby and Elin had taken off her boots to put her feet in it. Ryagin set his head next to her, letting her rest her arm on his cheek bone. They sat there like that in silence, enjoying the nature around them and the serenity of being alone.
The flap of wings interrupted them. Ryagin raised his head, turning to look at the noise. It was Selethina and her rider, Ryker. She had been with Excalibur for quite some time and they trusted her a great deal. Elin stood to greet them, walking over to Rygain and putting a hand on his front leg. She didn't bother to put her boots on, she didn't care what other people thought about her, she was long past that. "Hail, Selethina. Hail Ryker. What news?" Ryagin said, taking control He often took control when other dragons were involved. However with humans he let Elin do the talking. Their strategy tended to work well.

Selethina smiled, relieved that she was right about it being Ryagin. “Ryker, they’re at the small pond a few miles outside of camp.” She focused on it and knew he could see it. “Do you know where it is?”
“I do. I’ll be there in just a few minutes,” he promised and she could sense him start to run. She landed lightly and approached Ryagin, smiling and nodding when she noticed Elin standing next to him. “Greetings Chief Elin,” she said respectfully before sitting in front of them.
“I apologize for interrupting your privacy, but Ryker and I- we’ve had a vision. He’s on his way here; he should arrive any minute now.” She reached out mentally to Ryker to see how far away he was, grateful when she recognized his surroundings. He had almost reached them. “It’s about a future battle in which Ryker and I will most certainly be involved. We both feel like it is something you should be aware of.”
Selethina paused, waiting for Ryker to arrive before starting to explain more. She hoped Ryagin and Elin would remember that she and Ryker liked to explain their visions together because they both focused on different aspects. It was easier to explain the entirety of the vision when they worked together to do so.

Ryker ran through the forest, hurrying so they wouldn’t have to wait for him for an extended period of time. He stayed at the lake far too long, but if given the chance he would have done the same thing again. He felt like Simon and Lenora deserved some sort of explanation for his strange behavior. He had already left Lake Mortez before Selethina told him where Elin and Ryagin were, but he still felt the need to rush.
He moved quickly, eager to take advantage of this opportunity to run. He had always loved running, ever since he was a young boy. Finally he made it to the clearing where Selethina was sitting with Elin and Ryagin. “Greetings Elin, Ryagin,” he nodded at each of them in turn to show respect.
“I already told them we had a vision about a battle in the future,” Selethina informed him.
“Where do you want us to start?” He asked, unsure of how to begin talking about this vision and hoping for an idea.

"It's about time." Elin said after Selethina told them of the battle. "It has been too quiet, I am just glad to know about it before it happens." Ryagin pondered this turn of events.... or rather future turn of events. Since Selethina and Ryker had joined them, they had become much more prepared in their battles. We should start getting the troops ready. Rygain told Elin. He saw her nod. Just then Ryker ran up, stopping beside his dragon.
"I should think starting at the beginning would be a good spot." Rygain's voice rumbled through the air, deep and melodious.

"You go ahead and begin Ryker. I'm still trying to figure out how to describe what I saw." Selethina whispered in Ryker's mind. He turned his attention back to Elin and Ryagin as he began to speak. "But of course, Chief. So this vision didn't give us a specific time or location. At least, it didn't to me," he turned his attention to Selethina and she shook her head, indicating silently that she didn't have a time or location either.
Ryker closed his eyes for a few moments to help himself remember what he saw more vividly. "It was night and very dark outside, hardly any stars visible. At first there was no movement and I thought I was alone, but then torches were lit and suddenly the battle began. There must have been some sort of hidden signal to start it ..." he trailed off as he tried to think of anything that could have served as a signal, but he could think of nothing.
During his silence, Selethina began to speak. "There were many dragons present, King Ryagin," she began, slipping into her old habits. "I could not sense them all. I know that I was present, so I believe others from Excalibur were there as well, but I saw no familiar faces among any of the dragons. For all I know, some of them may have been scouts for the Dragon Queen or they could have been her soldiers or neither. All I do know for certain is that there were dragons of all kinds there. I sensed earth, fire, shadow, poison, water, air, and even mind magic. I am sorry I do not have more certain information for you at this time." Selethina's head hung low in apparent shame and Ryker reached out to touch her scales softly in an attempt to comfort her.
"It isn't your fault Selethina. That is all we were shown today. I saw almost the same thing on the human side of things," he told her, hoping to aid her further.
"I'm afraid I have much the same to report. I could sense myself in the battle, but I saw no one that I recognized. I believe there must have been others from Excalibur fighting alongside me, but I saw no proof of it. There did seem to be more humans there than we have in Excalibur so I cannot help but wonder where the other humans were from and why they were there. They may have been from the Knights of Purity but they could have been dragon slaves as well, or roamers fighting simply because they wanted to," he paused for a moment before finishing. "Clearly we don't have all the details from this vision, but there will be a large battle sometime during a night to come." Ryker stopped, unsure of what else he could say. Selethina added nothing and the two of them waited calmly for a response from Elin and Ryagin.

The chief put her hand to her mouth in thought, her upper lip resting on her bent pointer finger. This is dangerous information. Rygain voiced in her mind. It is just information. What we do with it is what can be dangerous. "Ryker, when you and Selethina have your visions, is there generally a time frame during which they occur, or could they happen at anytime in the future? Also, have you ever had a vision that did not come to pass?" Her voice was intense. She was not going to take a possible attack lightly. She also needed to know how accurate the visions were. Other times, there had been at least an indication of when or where the vision took place, or at least one of them had known that information. She couldn't walk into a trap, not that she thought Ryker and Selethina would trick her. But if someone else had this information... well she would not fall prey to their tricks.

Selethina thought for a moment, considering Elin's questions. She noticed Ryker turn his attention to her, obviously not wanting to answer on his own. "Selethina, I'll tell them what I know, but I believe you can answer these questions more thoroughly than I."
"This is true. You've only been having visions for ten years. Tell them what you think and I will also give my thoughts." Ryker nodded and turned his attention back to Ryagin and Elin.
"Elin, in my experience our visions either give us a time frame for the vision to come to pass the first time, or we have follow-up visions in which we discover the time frame. Also, every vision I have had came to pass at the appointed time."
Selethina nodded her head in agreement before she stretched her wings in a deliberate effort to take the attention from Ryker and pull it to herself. "Ryker is right. In my experience over the last seven hundred years, all my visions come with a time frame, as well as a location. When they have not immediately shown me the time or location, I have always had follow-up visions that show me this. In these cases, the information has never been extremely urgent and I have at least a few weeks to prepare. In urgent situations, the time and location has always been revealed in my first vision."
"Furthermore, every vision I've ever had has come true. My visions are objective, showing me things that I cannot change, things that will happen no matter what I do and I can only react to the information shown me. For example, before my parents were taken from me, I received many visions that informed me that we were being followed and dragons were to arrive in our location at a specific time. The first few times this happens, my parents and I changed locations, but we stayed nearby to see if the dragons really did appear. They did, every single time. I believe that sometimes my visions are vague because there are so many factors are required to create a solid future. Certain details shown in my visions depict things that will not change. In this vision, the only real details Ryker and I had were that this will take place at night, that many- both human and dragon- will be there, and that both of us shall be present. I expect to receive more visions on this subject, but I am certain those three things will come to pass, whatever else may change or become more clear. My visions are created dependant on decisions that have been made, not ones that are yet to be made. Does that answer your questions?"
Selethina raised her head high, proudly and confidently. She did not want either Ryagin or Elin to see any signs of hesitation or doubt. She knew she spoke the truth and waited patiently to hear their thoughts and opinions.

An inevitable battle? Elin did not like the sound of that.
We can't do anything until we have more information. Rygain told her. But we have to do something. We can't just sit around and wait to be slaughtered. Besides, if we start preparing now, we may be able to get the high ground in that battle. She pursed her lips in thought.
"When you have your clarifying visions, let us know. As for now, we will start preparing. Gather your lieutenants and get them practicing battle formations with their privates. " Elin told Ryker and Selethina. She started to turn around.
"Also, send out scouts, send them with an image of what you can remember. You can have an artist make a rendering of it. I need to know where this battle will take place."

Ryker found himself instantly aggreeing to what Elin said. "Of course; we'll let you know when we have another vision on the subject. And we'll set off right away to alert the Lieutenants and other Captains as well." Ryker turned to Selethina, wondering if she had anything else to add.
She merely nodded her head and indicated her agreement. "Come, Ryker, let's fly," she whispered to his mind. "Farewell Chiefs," she said as he jumped into her back, and she took off before he was settled.
"How should we let them know we need to have an emergency meeting?" Ryker wondered as they soared toward Excalibur's camp. Selethina chuckled in response. "What, did I miss something?"
She finished laughing before answering him, "Don't you recall the emergency meeting protocol?" She reminded him quickly and suddenly, he remembered.
"Of course! Let's hurry to the bell tower," he encouraged, though he knew that Selethina was headed there already.
