The torches on the walls were lit, leading from the main gate four levels below, up the staircases, and to a well lit room. The walls were smooth limestone, having been masterfully cut by some great beast. The torches set along the walls and hanging from the ceiling cast the room into an errie glow.
Off in a corner, heat from a torch giving it power, a machine beeped softly, one of the lights on top blinking faintly. It was hard to say what it was used for, but it was doing something. It printed off on a roll of paper, which was pileing on the floor around it. The machine continued its unknown work without hinderance.
Hunching over the table in the center, with papers spread about, drawing and measuring tools all over the place, holding down corners, a Half-dragon was making a mark on one the papers.
With wings folded back, and his tail flicking in the dust, he muttered almost incoherantly. This was the fourth night in a row he was up late working on the design for his ship, and it wouldn't be the last. Lightning flickered over his whole form, passing from his shoulder, down his back, along his tail, and into the stone. The spines along his back where flat, showing his exhustion.
Steps echoed from down the hall, soft boots lightly tapping on the carved stone. Dishware clinked lightly on the tray.
Sylvia: Tempest... up late again? Jeez, you should really get some sleep. Doing this to yourself is really going to have bad consequences later on down the line. This is what, the 7th night--
Tempest: 4th. And I'm fine. Just leave it on the edge, i'll get to it in a little bit.
Sylvia walked forward, the tray of food inhand. She placed it where he indicated, looking over his work.
Sylvia: You think it is going to work? By your drawings, I think you are just dreaming. How are you planing on powering it? Raising it up? Making it float? I heard that there are some cystals that can make objects float if charged correctly.
Tempest: You can leave now. I'm figuring all that out. If you want, go get some of these crystals. It will work, it has to.
Sylvia: Fine... I'll get you some, scaly butt. Just... get some sleep. Curl up in the corner if you have to.
She left, turnign back to him. She had shed her armor in her room, so the bracers and shin guards wernt there. The bangles gently clinked against eachother as she walked, and when she stopped, he turned back to her with a glare.
His green-silver eyes glowed harshly in the torch light.
Tempest: Leave.
~~~~~
Sylvia borrowed a horse from Golden Valley Villiage, under a brown cloak. Her staff was in hand, the crystal on top in the shape of a flame. She would ride To where she knew the crystals to be, and from there, possibly find somehelp for Tempest. He was starting to obsesse over his ship, and it was getting her worried.
Once her provisions where set, and her mare, a gold coated, white-maned beauty named Calypso, was saddled, she rode from the villiage, heaed towards the Tetsuyama mountians. That was where she had heard the floating crystals came from. She just hoped she could find enough, or any at all.

From a cave at the base of the Tetsuyama Mountains, a weary Drow emerged, seeing the surface world for the first time in her troubled life. She was immediately captivated by its majesty. She took her first breath of fresh air, so unlike the stuffy, suffocating air of her world. She saw a bird for the first time, flying underneath an endless sky. The sky was so unlike the giant caverns underground that her people built their ancient, immaculate cities in.
She decided to set up her camp in the cave, until she was a little more comfortable with venturing out into such an alien world...

The gold and white mare neyed softly, trotting through the underbrush of trees that surrounded the mountains. Her rider was fast asleep over the saddle horn, gently gripping the reigns. The horse stopped, and looked back at her rider, snorting. Once the young woman was awake, the horse continued.
Sylvia blinked werrily, taking a tighter hold on the reigns. She wasn't sure where she was or what she was doing out here... she smacked her forehead when it came back to her.
Sylvia: "Damn floating crystals... why do I have to go after then? I mean, its not my ship, its his. Why can't he just be content with a sail boat? Better yet, why can't he find these damn thing?"
Messing with her enchanted armor pendant, she looked around the faintly lit forest. She didn't like the dark, and probably with her string of odd luck, she was probably going to have to go into a dark cave where there was no light at all, and be expected to find something that probably didn't glow anyway! She really didn't like the dark.
~~~~~
Riding to the base of the mountain, she looked up, looking for a good place to start. Where the hills became the mountains, there were a few caves. She dismounted, and started walking towards one. Calypso followed behind.

*Near by the mountain trail of Tetsuyama there was a one person camp. A tent, Some tools, and a burning fire with freshly hunted food roasting over it. Watching over the fire was a Dark figure whereing a trecnhcoat lead over the fire.Then a sudden breeze came and quicklty as it came it put the fire out.
FrostXero:...........................
* The dark figure quickly gets up and points his finger at the base of the fire and shoots a quick beam at the fire.Scarttering the wood that gave it life.*
FrostXero:DARN YOU!!!!!! YOU WEAK FLAME!!!!!!!!! HOW CAN YOU COOK SOMETHING IF YOU KEEP GOING OUT!!!!
*Frost once again gathers some wood and starts yet another fire.Igniting it with another blast.*
FrostXero:*Sighs* If this keeps up I'll be hungry for another hour. I'm starting to wonder if those darn crystals was worth it.

Sylvia and Calypso walked in Frost's clearing, the young woman sighing in relief that there was finally someone else to talk to. The fire light glowed warmly over her red hair and flickered in her green eyes. She almost seemed right at home to dance in the middle of a huge pyre of flames. Her brown cloak hid the rest of her clothing, and her staff was in hand.
She walked forwards a ways, humming a little, making the flames of his fire burn a bit brighter and hotter, catching the wood around it into a steady blaze.
SYLVIA: "Can I make a suggestion when making a fire using magic? Use an actual fire element, and depending on the size of the blaze, hum a bit to Pyre's Illiad."
The tattoos on her face seemed to move on their own in the flames. She smiles.

Draemeth, the Drow Elf, observed them from the cave above their heads. How she longed to speak to them. Never in her 80+ years had she spoken to a surface being. They were so different from her, so light skinned and colorful looking as compared to her ebony skin and stark-white and silver hair. The most color she had was in her vibrant looking violet eyes.
From her vantage pont, she observed the female create a fire for the struggling male. She continued watching, and waiting...

Sylvia smiles, pushing her cloak back over her shoulders and taking a seat. She sits cross-legged, laying her staff behind her.
Sylvia: "My name is Sylvia Lightfoot. Yes, I have mastery over Fire and Earth magick, but I'm no sorceress, just a Song Mage. It is nice to meet you, FrostXero."
She looks into the fire, a smile forming on her face.
Sylvia: "Pyre's Illiad is a Song to the Flame. Its for using the simplest of fire magic. Song Mages, depending on what elements they are gifted with, will learn particular songs for their elements... Pyre and Gaia, Lords of Fire and Earth."
She hums Pyre's Illiad once more... then looks up at him.
Sylvia: "sorry, I get distracted easily. What brings you to this place?"

*Above their heads, a twig snaps.*
SWIFT: 'Damn! How careless of me! She quickly slips into the shadows before she is seen...'
As the shadows enveloped her, her eyes began adjusting to the infrared spectrum of light, and her eyes began to turn a vibrant red. She could now see flawlessly from the dark shadows.

Sylvia's head and eyes snapped up, scanning the trees on the ridge above them. Calypso seemed undisturbed by the noise, and went on chomping at the grass.
Sylvia: "Did you hear that?"

Trying not to move, Draemeth realized that the young woman was looking right at her. She hoped she did not see her though, since she was unsure if they would be friends or foes...
SWIFT: '...well, I can't hide in this cave forever I suppose...'
She slowly stepped out of the shadows and into the light. Bowing, she greeted them the best she knew how.
SWIFT: "Hello....I am not a threat...

Swift steps into the clearing with her hooded cloak closed and the hood over her head, just in case they aren't used to her appearance. She quickly bows her head out of respect.
Swift: "My name is Draemeth Cha'omic. What are you called?"

Swift: "I am hesitant to reveal myself because I'm almost positive you haven't seen any of my kind before. Please do not be alarmed..."
She took down her hood and her long ears and ebony complexion were exposed, along with her vibrant violet eyes.
Swift: "Now, why won't you tell me your name?"
