Elin was out training some recruits. She was very focused on her work, and so had no time to talk to Rygain. He had retreated to his cave, his sanctuary, to rest and think over some things. One of the things he thought on was the obvious distance between him and his once home. He tried not to think about Ryluth often. Sometimes the memories of her stung, other times they were sweet memories. But all were sad. Sad in a way different than the thoughts of the dead. Those could be turned to happy memories. Ryluth was not dead, she was very much alive, and very much opposed to Rygain and everything he believed in. That hurt worse than death. The dragon he had once trusted above all others... his bitter enemy. He pushed those thoughts from his mind. He did not need them now. Pleasant thoughts. he closed his eyes to help him remember. A little dragon, iridescent in the sunlight, as if not quite sure what color she wanted to be. Climbing on his back, curling up next to his tail. She spoke to him like she spoke to no one else. Verath. his favorite daughter. She was one of the first female dragons sired by him, and he loved her dearly. He had been able to show it better when he was with her, when he was with Ryluth. Now, she probably hated him for leaving, hated him for opposing her mother, hated him for just being alive. Probably. He could talk to her. The thought was an errant one, but he grabbed a hold of it. He could talk to Verath. She could speak with him through her mind! His heart leaped in his chest. If she knew of what he was doing, perhaps she could join him. She could help their cause immensely. Before he could think about it further, he reached his mind out, searching for her familiar touch. "Verath? Are you there?"VERATH

Verath stopped in her tracks. You have got to be kidding me, and here she thought this day couldn't get any worse. The Queen was not in a good mood today, now Ryluth wasn't normally a bowl of sunshine but today was worse than normal. The smallest thing could set Ryluth off some idiot had probably mentioned Ryagin, a very touchy subject, and now here he was trying to talk to her. Thats right, after all these years Ryagin had reached out. The nerve! Ryagin had left without saying a word and he wanted to chit-chat now! Anger rose and all she wanted to do was roar in Ryagin's face, and yet she was........she was, ARG!, she didn't know what she was. He had abandoned her and Ryluth for humans, humans! and yet she still loved him but she knew that shouldn't. Verath was with the queen now and Ryagin obviously didn't want to be with them so why, why was he reaching out now.
Verath didn't want to respond yet her anger got he better of her. She reached out mentally letting him know she was there "What could you possibly have to say to me Traitor!" Verath had never said anything so venomously he should know he is not welcome, not anymore.

He did not know how much he had missed the touch of her mind. She was so intelligent, her mind so adventurous. He smiled despite himself. "Verath." he said happily. He ignored her jab about being a traitor. He wasn't, of course, but she was under Ryluth's thumb, she would have whatever lies Ryluth was telling her. "Are you well?" He asked her, not sure what else to say. Why had he contacted her again? He knew he had a good reason, yet it seemed now like he just wanted to talk to her. He just wanted to feel her voice.

"AM I WELL?! That's all you have to say! After all this time you have the gall to ask me how I am, after you abandoned us, after you left us, and betrayed me how could you side with the humans over your own family. They have killed and hunted us for hundreds of years and when we finally fight back you run off and join them. I have not heard or seen you for hundreds of years and you ask me how I am. well I'll tell you you left me here alone with Ryluth! I have become a show girl, her precious little side kick who tortures those that defy her, how do you think I am doing!" Verath voice inside her head cracked with anger and heartbreak she was so furious how dare he just talk to her like that. Ryagins betrayal had hurt her so much that she had become something she never thought she could, a ruthless, coldhearted, monster.

Ryagin cringed at her words. He had thought the same things about himself, countless times. Especially before he had found Elin. He had wondered why he had left when everything had been the way he wanted. He had a wonderful wife, children, anything he could ask for. But he had felt a hole. He didn't know how to explain it. But when he had met the old man and decided to give peace a chance... the hole was filled. " I think you are feeling alone, betrayed and furious. As you should be." He told her quietly. He had left her. He should have spoken to her about his feeling about humans. But he had chosen to talk to Ryluth first, and then he had two choices. Leave or die. He had chosen to leave, and never got to say good bye to Verath.

Her anger did not lessen but instead turned to a surprising emotion...sadness. She spoke, though very softly this time "......why.......why.....why did you not take me with you?" Verath had not realized it until she had spoken it but that was the true reason for her anger. Yes, the other things she had spoken about were true but this was the core. He had left her. He could have told her of his plans and she would have gladly followed so why why did he not take her? She had thought it was because she had done something wrong as a child, that maybe it was her fault, but as the years grew she turned that guilt into anger at him. It was his fault not hers. Verath emotions overspilled, she started to sob. She hadn't cried like this since the day her left and now it was like she was back there again.
(sorry its been so long!)

He felt her crying through their link. He felt it as if he were holding her under his wing as he would do when she was a hatchling. But he wasn't. He was hundreds of miles away, with no way of consoling her save words. The words he had prepared to say to her faded away. And he said what came natural. "Little rainbow, I would have taken you with me. I would have gone to you first. I would have done so many things differently had I been able to see the way events would unfold. But I could not. And now, after much too long, I am offering to you. Rainbow, will you come with me?" Was that why he had truly contacted her in the first place? to invite her to be a part of Excalibur? Perhaps it was. For when he said the words, he felt joy. The kind of joy that only comes from the ones you love. He had thought he only had Elin to love now, for he had cut all other ties. But now he knew. He knew he only needed to reach out, and if they were ready... they would come. (I am also sorry it took so long I'll make sure the next one doesn't take as long!)

She stopped crying. He wanted her to come with him? This is what she had wanted wasn’t it? yet why did she feel so reluctant? Then it came to her...Ryluth… Verath hadn’t seen the queen recently for a good reason. Verath didn’t like being around her all the time, yes they were both angry but Verath wanted to move past it and Ryluth did not. “I…..I want to but I can’t leave she will kill me. I barely make out of the city let alone leave and never return.
She couldn’t leave, this was her home it was the only place she knew. just then another thought crossed her mind, yes this may have started out as her home but now it was her prison one she had let them build. No more this was going to end. No, I will go with you but we need a plan on how I can tell her without risking my life I will not be a coward and slip off in the middle of the night.

Ryagin felt a huge relief lift off of his chest. She wanted to come with him. She wanted to be with him, perhaps she didn't agree with everything he believed in yet, but perhaps she would. And then he could show his daughter the life he had built for himself and the life he hoped to give all dragons one day. You are right, we are going to need a plan, I could consult with Elin, she may have some ideas. he pondered for a moment what he could do. If you are going to tell her perhaps you should not tell her while you are actually there. Could you project yourself over a long distance? If she could leave before telling Ryluth, but still tell her, then it would solve the problem of her feeling like a coward.

"You are right I can leave the castle and then project myself back to confront Ryluth." Verath confidence rose. As much as she hated what Ryluth stood for she was still her mother and Verath would honor that with a explanation. "Where should I go after? I don't actually know where you are. Is there somewhere we could meet?" Now that Verath had decided to leave she couldn't wait to see her father again. Verath would leave tonight, She knew that if she put it off it would never happen.
