Fay nodded and looked to the screen again "I will go and find Ashton to bring her...or would the golden dragon doctor do well?" She asked, looking at the room more closely through the screen and frowning "There are other runes, painted over to hide them, though they show through a little." ya for hi resolution screens, though they weren't quite good enough. "I cannot tell what they are from here, this place has magic everywhere."(I'm changing the sequence for continuity.)
Navar growled loudly at the abuse of his friend, but rained in his wild dog's protective instinct to focus on what needed to be done. He added the new development and the details Fay noted in the text. Hr then sent it to Anna's phone. He looked to Fay and said, "Ashton is familiar with this facility, so she'll probably be our best bet. But Ravek isn't going to like not being able to be there with her."
"It's worse then we think, there's a ruin upon that door. What it does, we won't know until we can translate it. I'm running encryption scans now, but nothing so far." Ackley informed them.
Navar didn't like that, time they didn't have.

Zypher glanced to Anna's phone as it buzzed announcing the arrival of a new message. "Is it go time? " He asked eagerly.
"My thoughts exactly. But I only wonder if Racine build the void stable enough to support multiple doorways." Maxton voiced his one concern.
Xatia stated, "Then why would he make the void so large if it couldn't accommodate such."
Ravek looked between his fellow Fae and reminded gently, "You know Racine doesn't do anything by half measures. I'm positive it will hold and then some. It's our best shot at cutting the numbers lost. They will not be able to isolate our groups if they have a way out wherever they are or regroup on a safe floor. Especially when their armory of weapons is take from them."

Aeval smiled proudly and said, " I wouldn't miss it for the world. So, are we fly them out there.." Pandora finished for her, "Because they don't have wings?" Ena looked to her sisters and said, "Well need the ground support. One they won't even see coming. Hades hounds are pretty scary. I did some research last night when you both were snoring and keeping me up."

Racine grinned devilishly and whispered in her mind, "I must inform you, my darling wife. That statement means something completely different on earth." But all levity fled as he grew serious once again, " But yes, lets! As far as their destination, why to a magic suckling, windowless, doorless cell build within the cells in the dungeon. That way when the occupant is devoid of magic, well crack it open and let them out. Sound like a good plan?" He asked privately.

Spyro looked up with a start, he hadn't realized Foneth was watching him. He flushed in embarrassment and nodded rapidly. "Yes! Of course! " He then closed his eyes and focused on the strongest emotion he'd felt recently. It was vague at first, until he nurtured it into the forefront of his mind. It's intensity stunned him as indignation and fury filled him to almost bursting. He remembered the abject disgust at seeing his brethren slaughtered in such a manner in the dungeon. Now that the shock had worn off, the entirety of his emotions was revealed. His eyes shot open as he gasped aloud. He had a moment of pure panic, before he slammed it all into the mental image of the great dragon. He squeezed his eyes shut at the agony of such a large emotion was focused into a great pressure that built until bursting. Then all at once, it went away. Spyro frowned as he was certain of his failure. But the perspective that met his eyes was proof to the contrary. For he'd indeed shifted into a great dragon of significant height. Startled, he jumped back and lost his footing and fell unceremoniously to the ground.
Ender thew back his head and laughed harder then he'd ever laughed before.
The other Sylphs stared in muted silence at the amazing transformation. It had been glorious, for they'd all had been deeply rooted in Spyro's mind the whole time. He'd opened it to them intentionality.

Markus turned to look at the sound of the logging rig that cut, stripped and stacked the trees that stood in the path of the containment vehicles. It was quite the sight to see how easily and effortlessly it cleared the path.
Pariah tipped her head at the strange equipment for a moment, before turning to face the dragons once more. She called out to Storm in his mind and watched as the ice dragon focused upon her. " My presence in your mind proves I still own you. Fight all you want , you'll never be free of me. Im far stronger than you and your father combined. But he's no longer here to help you. Pity he left you to our mercy, for we have none for you!" She then sent a power orb flying at him.
Storm roared his rage against Pariah and free fell to avoid being struck by her orb. He flared his wings and soared upwards and once it had passed beyond harming him. He focused upon Pariah and shouted, " You have no hold on me demos! You forget, Xavier had the kings spell book before you knew it existed. Do you not wonder why there were pages torn out? Because even my father knew certain spells were not to fall into evildoers hands. He destroyed them in the good conscience. But not before I saw them! You will meet your end! By his blood upon your hands, I vow this!"
Pariah laughed manically, "And who said he was dead?! That was your conclusion, not mine! Xavier lives! Or, at least he was alive when I sent him away to the enemy. " She said with delight.
Storm faltered in his wing beats at the revelation. His father could still be alive? He marveled in shock.
The reaction Pariah had hoped for presented itself as expected and she struck with a bolt spell and hit Storm square in the chest with it.
Storm roared loudly as it penetrated his breastplate.....
Fay nodded and vanished to get back to the group and find the dragon, only to see him in his dragon form. She smiled and walked over to him "Asclepius, we need your medical experience." She said, looking up at him and smiling because he was so glittery. It had been quite a while since his kind had felt free enough to show themselves in the daylight. She was almost sad to see him have to shift back so soon.
