Give me a minute...I have to ask a certain someone for a little help...::Drako disappeared, and within a few minutes, was back again, though this time he was flesh and bone:: Now we really have to hurry...::He took Solace's hand and began running for the grove::

Up in the Northeast Tower, Duchess Raine awoke with a start. Hazen and Avalon were playing quietly in their room and Archelo had finally laid down for a nap. In the peaceful quiet of the sitting room, she had fallen to a light sleep on a settee.
Something in the air...changed. She coud feel it. Furrowing her brow, the ebon haired maiden stood from her seat and crossed to the window, just in time to see Solace running with Dra-...Drako?!
Those gorgeous blue eyes nearly flew from their sockets as she leaned forward otu the window toward them. In fact, she leaned so forward that she actually fell. Raine hardly even noticed as she plummetted in a mess of black skirts and ebony hair.
This was one of the few times that she was thankful that her fae wings had a mind of their own, for they burst from her back in shimmering black and gold and laid her gently on her feet at the ground.
Our darling duchess hardly even noticed she was not still in her chambers. Her eyes were fixed on their retreating forms in the distance.

:Anduin would travel a few miles since his fight with the demon. He was nearing the mountains in the northern part of GoldenMyst. He was bone-weary, his injuries weakening him with every passing minute. He would stop right where he was and would drop to the ground, too weary to move. His face was pale and drawn, stone-grey eyes glancing around, watching for any movement. He would pull himself over to a large boulder and would rest against it. As he sat there, an ironic smile formed on his lips, and he would let out a soft laugh as he thought about the situation: Well, the gods sure have a sense of humor... then again, what better place to die, than in the mountains...: He would slowly, weakly, despite the pain he felt, manage to get to his feet. He would look southward, as though he knew someone was coming for him. As he turned back towards the mountains, he would speak softly into the winds: well my friends, I pray you find me before the demon does....: With those words, he would begin his slow, painful journey up into the mountain passes, where he might possibly fight the last battle in his life...:

Does being a mother slow you down that much? Come on! You used to be faster. ::Drako was sprinting now. He felt Anduin's desperation. He looked back to Solace and just caught Raine flying down from her window before the castle disappeared behind the hills. A small smile crossed his face as he continued on with renewed vigor::

What in blue blazes was she still doing there?!
Still wide eyed, she shook her head furiously to clear her head, lifted her skirts near to her knees, and took of running.

In the pass stood a man wearing black leather pants, boots, a hunter green shirt that matched fierce green eyes. Twin swords were strapped to his back, long blonde hair pulled into a ponytail. He had been coming south from his lands on the other side of the mountains. Caelum Lupus, Ulfric of the Order of the Moon. His sharp lupine eyes had caught sight of the weary traveler as he'd been nearing the mountains. Coming down to find if the man needed help he was surprised to find that it was Anduin, though not shocked at his physical state. The man had been a new knight in the land when he'd known him years before. He'd always said the knight had alot of potential, it seemed he'd just fought a battle of sorts. "Anduin...it's been a long time, ye look like hell! Can I offer ye some help?" His signature grin crossed his face.

Well it seems that Lina didn't need ask her husband for help. He's already found Anduin. Aye, she was following him, in dragon form up in the sky. She knew that he know she was up there, but she didn't care. Landing in a small clearing on the otherside of a group of trees, she shifts. When the flames died down, she moves through the trees to find Anduin and Caelum.
"So it is true, you really are alive. Good to see again Anduin." She smiles.
"Now, let's see if we can these wounds healed for you." She glaces at Caelum with a loving smile, then moves to Anduin to heal him.

She frowns at Drako's comment. "Has nothing to do with being a mother. Hmph!" Hell, she was running as fast as she could. It wasn't that she was a mother now, it was that she hadn't trained in months! She was simply out of shape.
Now keeping up with him, she looks at where he's heading.
"Where are we going? Do you know where he is?"

I'm trying to pick up any sense of him....::He felt something change inside of him, and he knew it then. He caught Anduin's trail and could now follow it right to him. He ripped his tunic off, letting it fall behind them and turned his head towards Solie:: I'll explain what's about to happen later...No time for questions now...

:Anduin would stop dead in his tracks, eyes locking onto the man before him. In an instant he would recognize who it was, and would let a small smile form on his face as he spoke: Well Caelum, you seem to have found me at a most opportune time: He would take a step forward, but would fall to one knee, pai radiating through his body. He would close his eyes, his face tight with pain and exhaustion plain on his features. While still kneeling, he would sense, rather than see Gelina walk up to them, his eyes still closed. After a moment, he would open his eyes, a look of concern forming on his face as he looked to Gelina: A demon has been pursuing me. Ive fought it on two occasions, and no matter what I do to it, it still continues to chase me....:He would attempt to stand, despite the pain that coursed through his body, the wound on his torso still bleeding despite having attempted to burn it closed.
