The End or the Beginning?




Climbing the Mountain Path
Can Wobbit scouts on ahead as Fit and Fiesty climb the path to the mysterious cave.
Fitheach Eun: “So what exactly did you find in this cave, my sister?”
Fiesty Lotus: “I am not sure, but it seemed sumthin like a leak in time?”
Suddenly they saw the faint glow of the cave just ahead as Can called out: “I think this is the cave, something is glowing inside.”
Fiesty Lotus: " Do you feel it Druid sister? the pull of that openen?" It feels like it's made of all things." Fit turned to answer and suddenly Fiesty exclaimed:
"There’s Talia! Oh, and look a dragon."
Talia.Sunsong: “I found it in a tree.”

Talia and the Dragons

Fitheach Eun turns to look and sees only a large fierce looking dragon. "That huge thing was in a tree?"
Fiesty Lotus: "Um, what yer gonna do with it Talia?"
Talia.Sunsong: “Welllll, the baby dragon was in a tree, and it was so cute and all, I fed it and it followed me, then this big dragon came along.”
Savage Taurus eyes the small bipeds hungrily.

Fitheach Eun: “Ah now I see the little one.”
Fiesty Lotus: “Does it got a Mama?"
Talia.Sunsong: I'm not sure; whispers: “How can you tell gender in a dragon?”
Fitheach Eun: “In truth Talia; I am not sure I would want to know how to tell. And I am not sure we have time to find out...”
Fiesty Lotus: "Talia, yer know it ain't right ter take a child from its mama."
Talia.Sunsong: “But its sooooo cute and he followed me after I fed him, so it's not my fault.”

Outside the Cave

Fitheach Eun looks toward the faint glow in the cave in front of them...
Fiesty Lotus: “Oh yes, yer do know the Shadow is eating the mountains as we speak?”
Talia.Sunsong: “Drat that Shadow. It causes more trouble than I get accused of causing.”
Fitheach Eun: “We need to see if we can bend that portal to take us somewhere. If that is what it is; it would be our only chance.”

Talia.Sunsong: “I have great magic.”
Fitheach Eun looks dubiously at the fae, “We have seen more than enough of your great magic, Talia."
Fiesty Lotus looks at Talia’s bent wand. "um.."
Fitheach Eun: “So far it has only started fires.”
Talia Sunsong: “I'm better now; I've practiced by turning toads into mushrooms.”
Fitheach Eun: “Ummm right...We have great need of mushrooms right now, I am sure.”

Savage Taurus clears his throat, "Hey, lady. Whatcha doin with my kid there? You got a death wish?"
Talia Sunsong: jumps. “Who, me?”
Fiesty Lotus whirls around and sees that the dragon has spoken.
Fiesty Lotus: “Well, I think we must be gettin in the cave and tryin it out, right Druid Fit?”
Fitheach Eun: “Yes, let's do that, my druid sister.”

Talia Sunsong hides the baby dragon in her skirts.
Savage Taurus: “Anybody else here holding a baby dragon?”
Talia Sunsong: “Ummmmm…I don't see a baby dragon.”
Fiesty Lotus: "Oh, no, we don't have time fer this."
Fitheach Eun ignores the dragon and walks determinedly into the cave and Fiesty follows.

Fiesty and Fit Enter the Cave

Savage Taurus: “Yea, don’t play games with me, hon.”
Fiesty Lotus: “Give that baby dragon up Talia and come into the cave with us.”
Talia Sunsong: runs into cave to hide. “Noo He's my dragon.”
Savage Taurus sighs..."Damn bipeds."
Fitheach Eun plants her feet firmly and starts calling on the Water spirits.
Fiesty Lotus begins to draw on the spirit of Earth.
Fitheach Eun breathes deeply and concentrates on the spinning orb.
Savage Taurus bites at the fae's wings to pull her back.
Talia Sunsong: “Ouch! Stop it.”
Can Wobbit crowds in closely behind them all and watches intently.

Talia Sunsong: “I'll take good care of the baby dragon.”
Savage Taurus: “Gimme my kid!”
Talia Sunsong: “He likes me better!”
Savage Taurus growls.
Talia Sunsong: “Quick, open the portal.”
Talia Sunsong waves wand desperately.

Fiesty Lotus now adds the spirit of Fire to her incantations.
Fitheach Eun calls on the Air spirits to help them and the cave fills with sylphs.
The orb begins to glow but nothing else happens.
Savage Taurus: “you wanna be roasted, sweet cheeks?”
Talia Sunsong: “The dragon will get me! Hurry.”
Savage Taurus pulls on her skirt.
Talia Sunsong screams and tries to pull away.
Fitheach Eun chants softly but the portal glows and stays small.

The Portal Stays Small

Fiesty Lotus chants to earth and Fire with increasing frenzy.
Savage Taurus yanks her back hard.
Talia Sunsong throws her wand at portal just as her skirt rips.
The wand hits the port and explodes.
Talia Sunsong: “It's bigger!”
The portal glows brighter and enlarges quickly.
Savage Taurus eats the ripped skirt in his mouth.
Talia Sunsong jumps away from the dragon.
The portal suddenly grows to a huge size and turns black.
Fiesty Lotus stares in wonder.

The Portal Grows and Turns Black

Savage Taurus: “What are you all doing here, anyway?”
Talia Sunsong: “Escaping from the shadow. It comes. It destroys.”
Savage Taurus starts chewing on her blonde hair.
Fitheach Eun: “Well my friends shall we go? There is nothing left for us here.”
Talia Sunsong: “Stop eating me! I'm going!”
Savage Taurus: “You aren’t going anywhere with my kid.”

Talia Sunsong leaps into the portal.
Savage Taurus follows her through.
Fitheach Eun raises her staff and waves Fiesty into the portal.
Fitheach Eun, Can, and the ravens crowd through behind them, followed by a cloud of sylphs.

Everything goes black.
