Elendiel took off for Excalibur. Sure, she had no idea where the group was, but if Ryluth could find them then so could she, especially since she didn't have any other options. After Ryluth's demands that all dragons pick sides, Elendiel couldn't stay on the sidelines anymore and she sure wasn't going to choose Ryluth's side. The Dragon Queen had to be stopped.
As she flew, she tried to think. Where would be a good place for a rebel camp? Her immediate instinct said as far away from Ryluth as possible but she wasn't positive. Still, she didn't have any other thoughts. She had no choice but to try and see if she found anything.
She continued to search, thinking of what she'd just done. Betrayed most of her kind, her Queen and for what? Justice. Her rebel mind took her thoughts back to Viserion and she growled, not wanting to think of him. Thoughts where he was concerned were confusing. She didn't know what she thought of him and didn't want to have to deal with it. Now that she'd betrayed him, she probably wouldn't get a chance to sort through those feelings.
She pumped her wings faster, trying to drown out all thought in the search. She needed to find Excalibur now. Or at least something that would distract her.

Veritas was spending the afternoon hanging about Mount Parka. She lived in a collection of trees near the mountain and was going on a nice little stroll up to the top. Once there, she generally liked taking off from the top and flying about. As she took off, a dragon she didn't recognize flew nearby. She smirked, an amused little smile. She flew toward the shiny green dragon, a rather impressive color of scales she might add, to greet them. "Hello there!" she spoke in the dragon tongue. No purpose speaking English with just the two of them. Plus, if this dragon was a hater of humans it would be best not to speak in the human tongue. "What brings you to this area?" she asked.

Elendiel had been flying for a long time (she wasn't sure how long) when she heard a voice talking to her in Dragon Tongue. She turned in the air so she was facing the green dragon flying toward her. She heard the question, but she was unsure how to answer it. What if this dragon was on its way to join Queen Ryluth? Elendiel had no intention of being attacked during her escape. What to say? "I needed some air," she explained. "After the Queen's message this afternoon I needed some time to think things over. What finds you out this way?"

Aw, Ryluth. "Well, there is plenty of fresh air far far away from Gorgoth," Veritas had no fear of a scout reporting her to Ryluth for such speech. She didn't care for Ryluth for years now and it wouldn't be a surprise to the Queen. "Tell me, what did you need to think over? Perhaps I could help," she said, continuing to fly beside the other dragon. "As for me, I live out here," she admitted. elendiel

Elendiel was surprised by this dragon's response. So surprised that she gave a burst of laughter. Not many dragons were brave enough to say something like that to a dragon they didn't know. For all this dragon knew, Elendiel was on Ryluth's side. Her confidence made Elendiel almost sure that this dragon was not a friend of Ryluth's. Maybe she could help Elendiel find Excalibur! If Elendiel told her the truth. It was a risk, but time was almost out. The time for risks was at hand. "Well, I supposed I lied. I don't need to think anything over, I've already made up my mind. After the Queen's latest ... demand, I've decided to search for Excalibur. I've never liked Queen Ryluth or her beliefs and I think it's time I show where my loyalties are. The only problem is that I don't know how to find them," Elendiel stopped. Maybe she'd said too much, but it was just her personality. She wasn't one to beat around the bush. She was blunt. "Maybe you know since you live out here?"

Veritas's smile widened as the dragon spoke of looking for Excalibur and leaving Ryluth. "Well, it's your lucky day," she said before changing course slightly, hoping the dragon would follow. She wouldn't take her right to Excalibur, no. She needed to be sure she could trust the young one first. So, she changed course toward Elysium forest, but she would take a round about way in order to talk. "I am Veritas, what shall I call you?" she asked, "I am a member of Exaclibur, i can help you find them if you can prove that you are to be trusted." She didn't speak to intimidate, no, she just sounded light and casual as thought stating facts. elendiel

Elendiel followed Veritas when she shifted course. She couldn't help but be excited. She'd found it! Well, not exactly, but she found a member of Excalibur. She wasn't sure if she could exactly prove that she wasn't with Ryluth, but she hoped this Veritas would believe her. Now that she'd decided what she wanted to do, she was excited to be so close. She was going to do something, be a part of something important. "I am Elendiel," she answered calmly. No need to appear too excited. She didn't know if seeming too eager would make Veritas suspicious or not. "And how exactly do you want me to prove that I can be trusted. I can give you my word if that's enough, but I'm not sure what else you might want me to do. Whatever it is, I'll do it." To heck with not seeming too eager. She wanted to join Excalibur and she wanted to do it now, no matter what she had to do to prove her new-found loyalty. VERITAS

"Elendiel. Lovely," Veritas commented with a short nod, "I will have to think about how you can prove it... for now, let us just fly and talk," she chuckled at the young ones eagerness. Clearly she was trustworthy, Veritas could sense that, but she wasn't going to give up Excaliburs secrets that quickly. "Tell me, what exactly about Ryluths rule troubles you? Have you even met father?" she asked, speaking of Ryagin. Elendiel seemed young enough to be more like a grandchild to Ryagin, but it didn't matter. Ryagin was, more or less, the father of them all. elendiel

Elendiel followed Veritas, not at all surprised with the older dragon's reluctance to show her Excalibur. Firstly, they'd never met before this moment and secondly, Elendiel was a young dragon that no one could vouch for. Her self-induced isolation from other dragons had ensured that. She sighed as she decided how to answer Veritas' questions. "No, I have never met Father before. I've seen him, but I doubt he's seen me. To answer your other question, I don't like the Queen's attitude towards humans. When I was old enough to leave my parents, I set out to see new things. I watched humans for a great deal of time and I don't think they are as evil and worthless as many of our kind believe. From the whispers I've heard about Excalibur, you believe in working together with humans. I like that idea a great deal more than making them our servants. The fact that they've lasted our rule this long proves their endurance."VERITAS

”Awe, well, Ryagin is a lovely one,” she chuckled. It was an odd word to use to describe him, sure, but she wanted Elendiel to think only good things of him at this point. She raised an eyebrow at the other dragon, ”awe, human sympathizer, eh? You were right to leave, Ryluth does not tolerate that, as you know. And you are right,” she chuckled, ”they are quite useful, and even enjoyable to be around. We do work with humans, yes, and there is some magical science behind the way we work together that proves that we were not meant to be separate beings. No, but we are meant to work as one. Otherwise the work of bonding would not be possible. Have you heard of bonding, my friend?” she asked. elendiel

As they flew, Elendiel's eyes scanned the sky and the ground. Even though she was with a member of Excalibur, she had to be on her guard. You never knew when someone might attack and she had no intention of being caught unawares. "Yeah, I couldn't talk about my sympathies with anyone for fear that they would betray me to her," Elendiel commented off-hand. Now that she'd left, she wasn't too worried about really expressing her feelings. Then Veritas started talking about something she'd never heard of before. "What do you mean we weren't meant to be separate? What is bonding?" she asked, extremely curious as the words left her mouth. A little thrill of excitement ran though her and Elendiel knew she would like whatever was about to be explained to her. This would be good. VERITAS

Veritas understood not being able to share your feelings. She had seen what Ryluth and her friends could do when they found out that kind of information. ”Well, staying silent is hard, of course, but it was the right thing to do,” she agreed. Then Elendiel asked about bonding and Veritas nodded, ”bonding is a process in which a human and a dragon can become… eternal companions, of sorts. That human can access the same abilities you can, you develop a telepathic connection and you grow together. Imagine flying as high as you can and then, once bonded, going even higher,” she said with a sigh, ”the process proves we were meant to grow and work together.”elendiel

Elendiel nodded, glad that Veritas agreed with her silence. Of course, she already knew it was the right thing to do, but it was a relief to have someone tell her that. As she flew with Veritas she felt a freedom she'd never before experienced. Finally, she was able to speak everything she thought and she was finally able to think that maybe her life would amount to something. As Veritas explained about bonding, Elendiel felt a strong yearning for this. She wanted to bond to someone. She wanted to have that kind of a connection with someone. It sounded marvelous. "Are you bonded?" she asked Veritas curiously. "Is that a requirement to be in Excalibur?" her curiosity got the better of her. The answer to this question wouldn't change her mind about Excalibur, but she really wanted to know. Could she join Excalibur now or did she have to find a human to bond with first? She'd do whatever it took. She was excited to finally feel like she belonged somewhere. VERITAS

Veritas frowned at the other dragons question. "I am not, not yet," she said. She was hoping to be soon but she was very picky and choosing a companion was not at all an easy task. Plus, she had to make sure that person would get along with her daughter as well, that was very important to her. She shook her head at the next question, "it is not required but it is highly encouraged. Many of us, humans and dragons alike, join unbonded and then find each other there. It's easy to find people who believe and want the same things you do in that situation. There are many good warriors and others there who are looking for the right person. Maybe you can find that withing our ranks. Elendiel," she addressed the dragon more seriously now, "do you swear on your life that we can trust you? Are you willing to give up everything?"

Elendiel let out a quiet breath of relief. She wanted to join Excalibur, but she wasn't sure if she was ready to bond with someone right away. Then again, the idea of bonding with a human was a very appealing one to her. "I would really like that," she told Veritas. "Maybe that is what I need," she thought out loud. Then Veritas got serious and Elendiel focused on her. Her eyes widened as she heard the invitation. "I swear it with all that I have. And I already did give everything up. I have nothing left except for Excalibur. Nothing to go back to. By not going to Ryluth's aid, I already declared my side," she answered seriously. She hoped that Veritas would believe her, but didn't know how else to make that happen. VERITAS
