The glow becomes stronger and whith a blinding light the statue changes from a cold stone to a living person who inhales the air with a sharp sneer. Zhepphyr stands up and posts himself between the man and me. "who are you?" the man asks when he notices the dragon. "I'd better ask you that question, I'm Zhepphyr a dragon from the Icy Lagoons, a walking flamethrower..." Zhepphyr answers very quietly. "I'm Kemen...which means..."
"I know what it means, but why are you awake?" Zhepphyr asks annoyed. The man waves with his hand and then the other two awake too. The three men gaze at Zhepphyr who gazes at me. "Who is she?"
"A lady who just gave birth to her child, leave her to sleep."
"*blinks eyes* mh? Zhepphyr? What is wrong?" I ask with a sleepy voice. "*shakes head* for some reason Earth, Wind and Water have awakened *points at the three men*" Zhepphyr responds. I shift Shea a bit better and gaze at the three men. "the three elements, but number four is missing...*sighes* look this may be a stupid question, but can you help us? My relatives, and the father of this child, are at the ancient castle of the Cetra and..." I begin yet Wind raises his hand and says "sorry we can't, long ago a few of them Cetra thought they could wield the Four blades alone...and had sent us away, their punishment for their idleness came sooner than they thought, all got killed..."
"*hisses* that is what you think, Gonfindle and his father are still alive and my baby is a halfblood Cetra..." I respond while gazing at the three men. "*looks at the baby* Gonfindle? Lancelot? are they...alive?" Water asks while sitting down upon a rock. "*nods* they were the only two who insisted that WE kept the Blades, they fought with words in front of an idle counsil, defending our usefullness...alas the counsil back then was too blind to see, that we were the chosen ones and not them." Earth explains. "and this is Gonfindle's baby? *looks at the other two* then...I do believe that we..." Wind speaks.
"*sighes and nods* for their sake, but even now we're powerless, for we don't have our swords...and our friend Fire is missing too." Earth says. I gaze at Zhepphyr and then gaze at them "and what about him? He's a dragon and has fire..." I ask.
"*shakes head* it all depends if the sword will accept him..." Water responds "but the problem is...where are the blades now?" he adds. "*cradles Shea* I sure hope he's warm enough...*looks at the men* what if we help searching, you sence them?"
"*gives furred cloak* here for the baby, yes we sence the Blades but I can't say that this will be an easy trip, all I can feel is that they are not too far from here yet at a difficult place to reach." Wind says.
"*wraps cloak around Shea* I only hope that the people of Dun Natal and my beloved one are safe..." I sigh deeply.
"*places hand upon my shoulder* have hope...Lancelot knows what he's doing, he was a young man when we were banished yet his wisdom was large. And Gonfindle was still a small child." Wind says. I nod and cradle Shea who begins to cry. "*sighes* excuse me, but this little fellow needs food." I say before unbuttonning my blouse in order to give Shea his meal. "*grins* ain't that a lucky fellow..." Water notices as Shea drinks his milk. Zhepphyr however presses his face against Water's face and hisses "don't even have fancy thoughts"
"*pushes the snout away* hey hey, no harm done...I only meant that he's lucky to have such fine parents."
"*gazes at them* as soon as she's finished feeding her son, we leave..." Earth says. I nod and gaze at my own son hoping that his father would still be alive when we reach the castle.
Miles away from the cave, Gonfindle and Lancelot guide the people from Dun natal trough the maze underneath the ruïns of the castle as above them the Drow hordes search for them.
