It was a clear day as we finally reached the end of the cave where we had found the three elements. Earth, Wind and water. Zhepphyr gazes at me and asks "how is Shea?"
"Asleep and warm, the fur coat keeps him warm enough." I respond. I had tied the other half of my cloak around my chest in order to carry Shea, and still having my hands free to use. "*gazes at me* milady you should ride your dragon instead of walking..." Earth says. I gaze at him and then respond "rather not, for I'd have the urge to go to the castle and attack the Drow... and that would endanger Shea too much. But if the journey gets too risky, I'll sit down and let Zhepphyr do the heavy work."
"*snorts* like if ice is such a difficult thing..." Zhepphyr says before standing still in front of a huge ice wall. "*gazes at the wall* Hum, you have to battle ice with fire, lord Zhepphyr, if you please..." Earth asked very polite. Zhepphyr nods and says "stand back everybody...*blows the flames out of his mouth* there we are, the ice is gone...*peeks carefully trough the hole* looks clear but the ridge here is very narrow...Isil, I think you'd better ride upon my back..."
"Alright, Shea here is hungry I think, I'll have to feed him." I respond before climbing upon the dragons back. "*looks the other way* won't you be cold? After all the temperatures are quite low..." Water notices. "Hum, I feel cold, but I can't let my child starve you know." I respond while taking my blouse off. "And I can't wear my armor either..." I add while giving Shea his milk. "*begins to walk over the ridge* If I'm not mistaking, this ridge leads to a cave *sees Zhepphyrs disturbed look* yes another cave but If it is still intact, we can find foodsupplies and warm clothes in there..." Wind says while pointing at the mountains. "Long ago the Cetra built several foodsupply caves and made sure that fruit and meat and vegetables were stored inside. We had found out that the low temperatures are very good to store food. And to make sure that they would be safe from harm, the Cetra also placed warm clothes in those caves for their women and children." He explained while walking on. "*snorts and grunts* I'm wondering where your friend is, Fire, I can't handle a sword I'm a dragon..."
"*sighes* so do we, we're worried, for I know for certain that we were with the four of us when we left the castle and when we retreated to the mountains...All I remeber is that there was a snowstorm..." Earth sighes. "*looks at them* maybe he's with the swords...*slaps forehead* ow sorry I forgot, the Cetra counsil kept the blades..." I say while buttoning my shirt again. "*looks around the corner and cheers* we're lucky, the cave is still sealed...Zhepphyr please?" Water asks. Zhepphyr blows a small flame and then sighes as he notices the small entrance. "I can't go trough that I'm too big, and to make the hole bigger, that would bring down the mountain..."
"*sighes* stay here then, we'll be back in no time..." I say before entering behind the three men. Once inside the cave Earth freezes when he notices the sword in an ice anvil. An old piece of parchment attached to it. "*takes the note and reads* My fellow elements, I Fire have abandoned the sad convoy to get our swords back, If I'm not able to catch up with you, don't worry, I'm goin to stick all the blades in an ice anvil in a cave such as this one, hoping that I'll be able to reach you three. The snowstorm is wiping all the trails, yet I have faith that soon we'll be re-united. signed Fire. *sighes* so that is what he was up to, getting our blades while we kept on hiking." Wind says while looking up from the note. Earth gazes at the blade and then points at Water. "it's your blade my friend..." Earth speaks. Water walks over to his sword and then pulls it out of the anvil. "well that feels good to have my blade back..."
"*gazes at the men* if all your blades are stored in caves like this one, it'll take ages before we find them all...*begins to cry* and...and...I begin to fear for my beloved one...and my relatives..." I cry and hold Shea close to my body. Zhepphyr nods and then gazes at me "I'll go to the castle and try to defend it, for as long as I can...at least they'll have more chance to survive...*looks at me* no Isil, you have to take care of Shea...with some luck I'll be still keeping up the defences when you arrive with them *points*."
"*sobs* farwell then...brave friend...I hope that this journey ain't going to be too rough for a girl alone..."
"*snorts* you're a warrior, Isil, never forget that, even with that little fellow at your chest. See you all later..." Zhepphyr gazes one last time at me and Shea before touching the baby's face with a finger. "he's such a little fellow." he whispers before flying off into the direction of the castle. I gaze at him and then whisper "farewell, I'll be there in time I swear..." before hiking along with the men, hoping that my beloved one is still safe inside the maze under the castle.
