Selethina smiled when she heard Ryker in her mind. "Hey Selethina, I'm going to go out with Leonora for a little while. She's going to show me a plant that could help us in that battle that's coming up."
Good, she thought to herself. Ryker spent far too much time with her. While she loved him and always enjoyed spending time with him, she knew that he needed to interact with those of his own kind. He struggled with human interaction and she believed Leonora was good for him. She also believed that Ryker was starting to develop feelings for the young woman, though he wasn't confiding in Selethina about this. It was just a feeling she got whenever he talked about the girl.
Looking around herself in the Excalibur Camp, she realized that with Ryker gone, she had nothing to do. Making sure that no humans were nearby and she wouldn't destroy anything by taking off where she was, she stretched out her wings and took off. Maybe she would go visit Lake Mortez. She hadn't been there in a few days and she could do with some peace and quiet. She glided through the air, reveling in the sensation of loneliness. Maybe that was strange, but having her mind to herself happened so infrequently that she was determined to enjoy it while it lasted.
If only Erisdar were here, her mind threw in and for the first time in a long time she allowed herself to think on her long lost love. If her were here, things would be much different. As her thoughts focused entirely on him, she wished someone else were nearby, someone that could distract her from the sadness and loss she felt whenever she thought of Erisdar.

Selethina couldn't remember the last time she felt so free. She hadn't been able to fly on her own for so long that the experience seemed somewhat surreal. Her mind was soaring with thoughts of Erisdar and her past. She let it all go, feeling everything at once for the first time in years. Ever since she bonded with Ryker, her thoughts have not been completely her own. However, he was with Leonora right now. He would not interrupt her thoughts. Selethina roared as she heard a loud ringing in her head. Something strange was happening and she felt a deep sense of foreboding rising within her. All of a sudden, pain started raking through her body and she knew that she was in danger. She had to land. Right now. If she didn't, something desperately terrible was going to happen. She tried to land, but her senses were going out of control. She couldn't see clearly, hear clearly or even control herself completely. Finally, she realized what was happening. It was a vision; it had to be. "Selethina," she heard Ryker's voice in her mind and tried to answer it, but couldn't. She was so overcome by the vision that she couldn't even speak to him telepathically. Her vision was becoming spotty and she was terrified. She hadn't landed; she wasn't safe. She couldn't cry out for help and even if she did, no one was there to help her. She was in big trouble. Finally, all her fears and worries disappeared as she dropped into unconsciousness and the vision took over her mind. VERATHOOC: So ... Selethina is falling to her death ... this would be a great time for Verath to show up and save her!!! Thank you muchly Azula!

Verath's heart was broken and yet she knew that she had done the right thing. Leaving Ryluth had been the right decision. She thought back on her life and all that had occurred in the years since her father had left, her father, as she thought about him now she was not filled with anger or hate only joy at the chance of being reunited with him. As she flew across the the forest she spotted a white dragon "Selenthina!" Verath's heart rose with joy again but she worried about how Selenthina would react to seeing her they had not left on good terms. She was about to call out to her when suddenly the white dragon froze and started to fall towards to trees. Verath raced toward her and caught her in her talons a moment before she crashed into the trees, fear flowed through Verath, what had happened was she alright? She flew across the trees desperatley looking for an opening in the trees, Verath was strong but wouldn't be able to carry her forever she needed to land. As she flew above the trees, Selenthina in tow she spotted her opening, "The Lake!" She had never been so happy to see the place in her life. She gently place Selenthina on the banks of the lake and then turned and landed beside her. Selenthina! She roared and nudged the white dragon and tried to wake her, yet she did not move.

Selethina still felt sick, but she knew that she couldn't pay attention to what was going on with her body. She was ensnared in her mind and she wouldn't be able to get out until the vision was done. Selethina took a deep breath and focused on her surroundings. Much like the last vision, it was night-time. She could see the moonlight reflecting off of Lake Mortez and felt a jolt of excitement go through her. At least she knew where the battle would take place this time. She could sense dragons all around her. Focusing very hard, she could sense Balerion and Ryagin nearby. Also ... she wasn't sure but it felt like she could sense Verath. She'd only been with the dragon once before, but she was almost positive that she was nearby. Then the battle began.
Ryluth began the battle, actually joining it herself, to Selethina's surprise. She roared and dragon-fire lit the air. Human torches were lit almost immediately and the fighting started. Selethina was thrown into the battle immediately, fighting with dragons that she hasn't seen in many years. At one point and time she found herself back to back with Verath, fighting with her. Selethina couldn't imagine why Verath was fighting against Ryluth, but she was glad for the help.
All of a sudden, she had a brief flash of a vision. Ryker. He was fighting a dragon. Something was wrong with this dragon and Selethina knew she had to intervene. Without a word, she took off, sensing Ryker's presence and moving closer to it with every beat of her wings. When she was almost to him, a strange sense of loss racked her mind. She tried to call out to him, but there was no response. She tried to fly faster to reach him, but her path was blocked by Viserion. Selethina hated the Fog dragon, so close to Ryluth. She hated his pride and arrogance and the absolute joy he found in battle. She began her battle with him and was in the midst of it when her vision started to fade. Furiously she tried to bring it back. She HAD to know what happened to Ryker, but the vision was leaving but there was nothing she could do about it.She gasped as she came back to consciousness. She was lying ... on the beach? She racked her brain, trying to remember where she had been when the vision started. Finally she remembered that she'd been flying ... but then how could she be on the beach, unharmed? "W-what happened?" she said aloud as she rolled over and raised herself from the ground. She shook her head, trying to fight off the lingering dizziness. VERATH

Finally after what seemed like ages Selenthina awoke confused about what had happened. Verath moved closer and spoke softly as to not startle her, "Selenthina? Are you alright? I was flying over the forest when I spotted you and started to fall toward the trees, I grabbed you and brought you to the lake, you were unconscious for quite a while." Concern lined her voice. Verath watched Selenthina very carefully not sure how the white dragon would react when she saw her there. "Are you feeling ok?" Unsure of what to do next she waited for Selenthina to regain her barings.

Selethina froze when she heard a voice coming from somewhere behind her. She didn't realize that someone was there, but at the same time it made sense. It explained why she was all right and how she had landed so gently on the bank. She hadn't done it at all! Some other dragon had saved her. She didn't have to wait long to figure out which dragon. She recognized Verath's voice almost instantly, but there was something she had to take care of before she could concentrate on Verath. Selethina reached out to Ryker, nervous by the silence she heard from his end. "Ryker are you there? Are you all right? What happened to you in that vision; I couldn't get to you before it ended." When he didn't answer right away, Selethina was worried even more but she tried to calm herself. She reminded herself that Ryker normally had a harder time recovering from the visions than she did. After all, she had been doing it for hundreds of years. It was newer to him. She decided to give him a few inutes before trying to talk with him again. She turned her attention to Verath and smiled, surprised by how comfortable she felt around the other dragon after their last encounter when Verath was so ... harsh. "I have to admit, I am very relieved to see you here. Thank you for saving me. I haven't had a vision that strong ... in a long time. Most of the time when I have a vision, no one can tell. I can continue what I'm doing- even if I'm in the middle of speaking- and just focus on both, but this one took over and there was nothing I could do. I was terrified about what would happen to me. I owe you one. I'm fine." After her lengthy explanation, Selethina focused her attention on Verath, who seemed tired. Was something wrong? "How about you? Is everything all right with you? Why are you all the way out here?" She hoped that Verath wouldn't be offended by her questions, but she couldn't help it. She was trying to distract herself from the distress of still hearing nothing from Ryker. VERATH

Verath was relieved when Selenthina didn't freak out when she saw her. "I am afraid i am just rather exhausted this evening and am afraid this night will be filled with even more strange events.....Was the vision that terrible......I wonder.....Verath trailed off as her eyes got a far away look, it was as though she was not really seeing through her own eyes but was somewhere else. As her focus returned she spoke again exhaustion hinting on her words "Forgive me i find my mind is elsewhere tonight....I must ask you a question and i am afraid i can not give you too much detail about why I need to know but I can promise that I mean no harm to anyone.....Verath took a deep breath... Do you know where Ryagin is and would you be willing to take me to him?" Verath hoped and prayed as she waited for the reply.

Selethina watched as the majestic dragon in front of her spoke. Something seemed off tonight. Last time they met, Verath seemed to have much more energy but right now she just seemed completely exhausted. Selethina nodded her head when Verath told her how tired she was. Then Verath asked a question and trailed off at the same time. Selethina was surprised. Was she supposed to answer the question or was her friend thinking of something else. After a moment, the silence became too awkward, so Selethina spoke, trying to break it. "It wasn't a particularly enjoyable vision," she answered vaguely. She wanted to talk right now, but she didn't think she should tell Verath too much about her vision. After all, Verath was Queen Ryluth's right-hand dragon. It wouldn't do to give her such delicate and privileged information. At the same time, Selethina was completely unnerved about her vision. What happened to Ryker in it? She waited for his response, but he still said nothing. He must be unconscious or something, she thought. Then Verath's attention returned. At first Selethina was relieved, but after Verath finished speaking, she wasn't sure what to think. Verath wanted to go see Ryagin? But she was promising not to harm anyone ... what did that mean? Was she betraying the Queen? For a moment, Selethina was excited, but then a more realistic thought came. Ryluth probably sent Verath to give Ryagin a message, a warning or something of the sort that had to do with the impending battle. Still, what should she do? Should she really take Verath to her leader, to the middle of their camp? Slowly, she answered, "I do know where he is ... but I can't just take you to him without asking you at least a couple questions. This is for his protection, not for my curiosity," she added, hoping she wouldn't offend Verath, but trying to do the right thing all the same. "Firstly, what type of nature is this visit for?" She tried to be vague and firm at the same time. As much as she respected Verath, she was not going to put her King in danger ... even though he didn't call himself that any longer. VERATH

I gathered as much from the fall, and you know that is not what I am asking, Selenthina. Though I am not suprised you do not wish to share." Verath wanted to help Selenthina but now was not the time if she wasn't going to tell her then so be it, Verath didn't have the time to try and convince her otherwise.
"I'm afraid my mission is of the secret nature and I understand you hesitation and fear for my request but I have already been in contact with Ryagin but was unable to finish our conversation due to some.....interruptions." Verath breath got quicker as she struggled to speak. This mirage was taking a toll on her like none other, it felt so real, the conversation she was having with Ryluth it was.....intense to say the least and it was getting worse. Normally she didn't need to make her images speak and act this real. She knew she should let the mirage go but she needed more information from Ryluth she couldn't return to her father empty handed.
Verath wondered if telling Selenthina what she had done was a good idea "No" she thought I need to speak to Ryagin first before I do anything else. The queen had threatened war which was not to be taken lightly. She needed to find her Father! "I know this does not make any sense but please I need to find him and I need to find him now, this matter cannot wait, he needs to be prepared and if will not take me I will find someone who will!" Verath stood strong as a little frustration hung on her words. She was getting desperate now, if Selenthina wouldn't take her she would have to search herself or find someone she could convince to help her. Verath looked ready to take to the sky if Selenthina refused.

Selethina felt guilty. She knew there wasn't very much reason for her to feel that way. After all, she was being completely logical, but she still felt bad. Selethina preferred to trust rather than to be doubtful of one's sincerity and this was the case with Verath. Sure, Selethina didn't know her very well, but they'd met and spoken with one another before and Verath had been surprisingly honest with her. Selethina felt bad withholding the truth from her now. She was distracted as she finally felt something in the back of her mind. Ryker. It had to be him. "Ryker!" she called mentally, concern evident in her tone. "Ryker, are you well? After the vision I tried to contact you, but there was no response. I've been so worried for you! Are you well? What happened in the vision? I couldn't get to you before it ended." She focused all her attention on him, worried beyond belief. "Give me a moment, Selethina. I have to talk with Leonora, then I'll explain things to you," he seemed less distraught than she expected. The fact calmed and worried her at the same time. Could it be that Ryker was fine and she simply thought something terrible happened at the end of her vision? Or was he trying to hide it from her? She couldn't decide. She was so confused. Still, there was nothing she could do for Ryker right now and she had a more pressing item to attend to. "I apologize, Verath. I was not trying to be distrustful. It was a painful vision for me, truthfully. At the end it felt as though ... it felt as though something terrible happened to Ryker. I mean, to the human that I have bonded with. I couldn't reach him before it ended and I'm worried for him. I was not trying to be aloof, I was merely concerned for him. I still am, in fact." She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself more. She was still so worked up about everything that had happened with Ryker. She needed to let it go for the time being. "Furthermore, I believe you and will do all in my power to assist you immediately. I will take you to Ryagin and on the way if you wish I will tell you more about my vision. I simply was concerned about taking you to him because ... well I'm sure you know that there are many who bear ill will towards Ryagin and I am determined to protect him in any way that I can. However, I believe your need is urgent, so I will help you find him." Selethina set the example and took off, positive that Verath would follow her as long as the matter was as urgent as she declared it to be. She hesitated for a few minutes before adding her last comment. "Is there anything about the situation that you would like to talk about? Anything I can help you with perhaps?" She didn't know if Verath would want to share or not, but she'd been surprised before. VERATH

Verath relaxed a little “I too am sorry, I’m afraid i have a lot on my mind and took my frustrations out on you. I would love to hear more about your vision on our way”. Verath took off with Selenthina. “Is the journey long? Will we arrive before day breaks?" It had been night when Verath had left the castle and run into Selenthina. It was started to get lighter though not enough that would give away their position. “I don’t think it would be a good idea for us to travel in broad daylight…..” Verath glanced around them to make sure no one was following them. She didn’t think Ryluth would send dragons after them but you can never be too careful.

Selethina laughed softly at Verath's anxiety. "Don't worry, my friend. At our current speed, we will reach Excalibur in less than half of an hour, well before broad daylight approaches." She paused, once again nervous about what she was doing. Was she really taking Verath- Ryluth's right-hand dragon- to Ryagin? What was Verath planning? Selethina could only imagine what would happen to her and Ryker if Verath betrayed her trust and attacked the excalibur camp. They would lose everything. She shook her head as she flew, not liking her thoughts. "As for my vision, it was about a battle that will soon take place between Excalibur, the Knights of Purity and Ryluth's dragons. Elin Dragon-Rider went to ask the Knights of Purity if they would join us to help fight Ryluth and I suppose they agreed because they were there but something was wrong. At first, the vision was normal. We were fighting. Actually, I was fighting with you for quite a while ..." she trailed off momentarily, wondering if maybe that was a sign that Verath really wasn't going to attack Ryagin. "and then something happened to Ryker. He won't tell me what it was and I'm worried about him. I tried to reach him, but I couldn't get there in time. I don't understand why he's keeping it a secret from me. That's all." She finished plainly. After stating her fears about Ryker out loud, she wasn't really in the mood to chat any longer. VERATH
