Welcome to Gaia! ::

Palaldine smiles at him. "Then we'll just have to find a name that fits won't we? Yer not a child, Kerobian and I refuse to treat ye as one. In many ways yer almost me equal... even as ye are the equal or better of all save perhaps Tamara in that room. In truth I will not even claim to be her match. And it is good to have her on our side. Her followers are dauntless warriors and they will battle my sister's hellspawn relentlessly."

Paladine sighs. "Well, sir sounds a bit better than daddy... so I guess I'll just have to accept it, hmmm. Damn, what's taking them so long anyway. A simple yes is all we need."

Tamara trust ye. I can see that now. I'm sorry to say, I fear she came to eliminate ye... but she's stayed her hand. In truth I almost regret inviting her for that very reason. I wish I knew what stayed her... "

"Then I suspect she sees something other than a monster within ye, my son. Though the only things which I've ever seen her go after so adamantly for in the past are the undead. In her eyes... once dead... ye stay dead. No ifs.. no buts.. no nothing... which is why she as neutral as they come. The reason she hates my sister should be obvious, knowing this... as she warps creation to her will... life... death... it doesn't matter... and that drives Tamara over the edge, I fear."

Paladine stares at the door, half wanting to go and force his way back in. "The All-Father gives out his blessings in various ways, Kero. Perhaps you have earned it or will earn it in the upcoming days. It is something I cannot explain nor will I try to. Somethings are better left unknown."

"You and me both, Kero... you and me both..."

Suddenly the door opens and Silveria waves them both back in.

It is obvious that Tamara has taken control of the meeting. And as they enter, she stands and gives them both a low bow. "Master Kerobian, E'li... we have come to a decision. The void Master will be allowed to leave the valley, but until the end of this crisis he must refrain from reentering it upon pain of true death. It is not that we do not trust you, Master Kerobian... but we will be using this land as a safe-haven fer all our young, be they neutral or good. Any and all dragons capable of fighting are to report to Elysium post haste, regardless of their color or philosophical bent. If you are capable of raising any help to our cause, we would indeed be grateful. Once all the able bodied fighters have assembled, we will drop the shield long enough for them to leave then we will reinstate it and none shall return, be they dragon or otherwise until we have settled this matter."

"I would suggest ye rest for the time being. It will take some time to amass our kin. We wish to manipulate the shield but once. Surely you can understand the need for this?" says Hlal-son shaking his head. "No need to be so testy. Besides I'd like to get to know you better... there is something about you... I just can't put my claw on it..."
