Drake smiled crookedly. "Well, given our luck so far, if she isn't undead or an archer we haven't."

"I suppose not, Dragonmaster. Her name is Viluria but she is better known as the Temptress and, for reasons unknown even to me, she has aligned herself with Lord Gaolvulte" Only a cobra could have spat with more venom that Ghaleon did as he sneered the word "lord".

"What does that have to do with us?" Danny was getting annoyed at the volume of words and the lack of information.

"Everything, as long as you insist on entering this fray. There are forces beyond your comprehension on both sides already. And yet, even with such forces, you may be able to tip the balance of power. Not much force is needed if you push in the correct spot."

"I sense you are a friend, Ghaleon, but we're in the mood for information, not for riddles." Mason's temper was beginning to rise once more.

"You shall have all the knowledge you require, when you require it."

"Why won't you tell us?" Raptor did his best not to make it sound like a demand.

Ghaleon's tone remained as cool and even as ever. "When you're in a precarious position, say walking allong a narrow, uneven ledge, the best way to make it without panicking is to not look down. Think of this as my way of not giving you the opportunity to look down."

Drake rolled his eyes "So, you're gonna tell us where to push, eh?"

Ghaleon chuckled lightly. "You've already deduced that I'm sot the sort to come out and 'tell' anything, Dragonmaster. I will make suggestions, however. You've lost a powerful ally when you made the journey to this reality, and yet he can still help you, although not directly. You bear the mark of a Dragonmaster, something not easily earned, it can open doors for you even here. Of course, once you get inside there are no guarantees."

"There are dragons here." Brianna wasn't asking a question.

"Indeed, once again you are most insightful. The journey will not be easy and my powers can only send you so far. Into a place too concerned with its own internal struggles to be directly linked to the greater ones here. Far to the West, Beast Men and the Vile Tribe struggle with each other. It's only a matter of time, really before one of the sides join Gaolvulte. It is in this land where you will find the Blue Spire, where there is a door only you can open."

"I think I got that, but I wish I'd brought a notepad." Drake remarked. "But the 'Vile Tribe' and the 'Beast Men'? Who are the good guys?"

"I'm not certain how things work in your world, Dragonmaster, but in this one, things do not always fit into neat categories."

"Well, if there's help there I guess I should go. Probably not by myself, though. Of course, it's up the bossman here if I really should, and up to anyone else if they want to go with me."
