"Hmm, I've never heard of a clan like that. Well, If we run into trouble, then my poisons will come in handy. they won't stand a chance. Plus, I might not look it, but I do know how to fight. All members of my clan must learn to fight to protect the clan at some point. It's at least the basics for anyone but the ones who chose to walk the path of the warrior. I doubt that they would be able to take on a full-grown Bogsneak, two nocturnes-"
"And a Skydancer." Teutorix walked into the den, His white scales shining despite the darkness. "So, you all waited for me, huh? What's up with that? I'd Thought you'd leave me after I'd tried and failed to poison you. I mean, why stay for me?" He asked, laying down next to Twilight.
With a small grunt, Twilight shifted her body so she laid between Teutorix and the two Nocturnes.

"Because, four is safer than three when it comes to the world at large. Besides, everyone deserves a second chance, misunderstanding happen after all. As much as Kaden here would like to just leave you for my safety, it's better that you join us. Just know that we will be keeping an eye on you from now on," Vin said, placing a wing over Kaden so that he couldn't anything rash, "You've been given fair warning though by our familiars. We know not who hurt you in your past, but we will not suffer for their misdeeds. We are on a mission of peace, if you can't stand us, then that is on you."
Wiggling his way out from under Vin's wing, Kaden only gave a scowl. "Just be glad that there are larger threats to us than you. The Krunnen wouldn't hesitate to kill us all if they had the chance. If you truly wish to protect yourself, you'd do well to cooperate with us if you travel with us," he said, taking a moment to shift his armor back into place, "They prefer to ambush their targets so we'd benefit from having more eyes watching the surroundings."
"Well, with that out of the way,back to our previous conversation," Vin said, returning his attention to Twilight, "Back home, combat training is reserved for those who act as the guards to our home. Each one of them is given the same training you'd expect from those guarding the homes of the deities. Those trained are a force to be reckoned with once their training is complete. Kaden himself started training a few weeks ago, but this mission takes precedence over that.."

"We can't afford to only have a select few knowing how to fight. We have too many enemies for that. Those who cannot fight will die, so all must know how in the most basic sense. The advanced training is only reserved for our war dragons. Our enemies are quite brutal and ruthless. Plus, every dragon in our clan must be able to protect it. we cannot affort to let our blood be shed. Our leader doesn't want this clan to suffer the same fate as her old clan." Twilight said.
Teutorix nodded.
"Yes, White rose was her former clan. It was destroyed by a clan called Beast Soul on the edge of the Southern Icefield. As of yet, We've not had an attack from them, but we have interfered in most of their plans to attack certain clans. Fighting against beast soul is where we've gotten multiple of our Members. She is a bt paranoid when it comes to dragons from that region."

"I see. Our enemies can't get into our home so easily since we're housed in such a defended position. The Krunnen themselves reside somewhere on the far north side of the Scarred Wasteland. We make a point to always send two when we need to send someone to help out an allied clan. One will always be trained for combat. I have heard stories about our clan's past though stating that we used to have a similar policy to yours. I suppose conditions were much more hostile back then," Vin said, "Most of our allies come from the medical assistance we can provide, but a few do come from our efforts to protect others from the Krunnen. Regardless, we are very cautious of plague born mirrors."
"I guess you could say we're in a unique position given our clan's location and the pacts we've been able to secure with the deities. It's hard to maintain, but the effort it well worth the benefits we get," Kaden said, starting to relax, "We aim to provide succor to those who need it, and we need every resource we can get access to to deliver on that."

(AHHHHH!! Omg!! I'm super sorry! I totally forgot about this! I've been having a lot of stuff happening in my life. I'm super sorry! Things have been so hectic! Again, So sorry!! T_T)
(Hey, you're still subbed right?)
"Hmmm, yes." Twilight said. "Ya know, it seems like a very convenient situation that you are in."
She looks up and towards the tunnel, which seems to be lighting up.
"It seems the sun is coming up. Shall we go on our way? I mean, We've already wasted a day or so, We'd best start making tracks. Or would you two rather find something to eat first?"
Teutorix looks towards Vin and kaden.
"Yes, I mean, she is correct. Getting out of here would be wise. Eating some food would be good as well." He rubs his stomach and licks his lips in hunger. "I have the munchies. Food would be nice right about now."
He grins and looks at the two nocturnes and gives a soft growl unheard by any dragon present except for twilight, who audibly growls and shoots an angry look towards the skydancer
"Well, it is up to you both. I mean, I personally think that we should go and gather food on the way, and toot does not have a
Choice" She stresses the word with another hostile look towards teutorix. "So? What do you both think?"

((Ya, I'm still subbed. It's fine. life does that.))
"Well, food isn't really a problem for us. We have about a month's worth of preserved food. That said, it would be wise for us to hold onto these rations if fresh food is available. That, and water's still an issue," Vin said, standing up to stretch, "All things, considered though, we should probably get something to eat before leaving. Traveling on an empty stomach is a good way to rush the onset of exhaustion. Since we have our own food, Kaden and I can wait outside if you wish."
"If you ask me, we should start on our way, but Vin is right. We risk over taxing ourselves if we don't at least each something first. Last thing any of us needs is to be exhausted when someone or something attacks. That's a good way to end up returning to the aether," Kaden said, looking down to his bag before starting to fidget with something inside, "It would probably be a good idea for us to also plan out a desired route , or at least an order for us to fallow when deciding which deity to head for next. We've already spoken with Stormcatcher, but you two might have already spoken with Flamecaller."

(Ok then.)
Teutorix sighs and stands. "No, don't worry about it. Save your rations. You'd probably need them. I can get some food for us. Also a few canisters of water. We make sure to save any waterskins we can get." With that he turns, his tail gently whipping behind him as he leaves to get food.
Twilight looks towards the two nocturnes once again. "Anyway, Yes. we've met with flamecaller already, but we could probably meet with flamecaller first for you both unless we just take to the flamecaller last. Truthfully, I don't mind very much. I suggest meeting with the other deities and coming back around." Twilight says, pulling out a map.
"I suggest taking to the southern Icefield first. however, we'd have to be careful as The clan i was speaking of earlier, beast soul, will be on the lookout for Howling dragon members like me and teutorix."

"Sounds like a plan then. We can leave Lightning till last for you as well. It'll give us all a chance to rest after such a long trip if we end it in familiar territory. It will also give your clan mate time to figure out how he's going to act around Stormcatcher's Exalted. They'll be far less forgiving than we are for sure," Vin said, pulling out a small cube which projected a grid like map, "If we're headed for the Icefield first, I'd suggest we do some hunting and gathering before leaving the mainland. The cold will put a strain on out food supply, and the land there itself isn't exactly the most abundant place for food."
"Yes, well, we'll also be keeping an eye out for those people then. So long as at least one of us is keeping an eye on our surroundings, they shouldn't be able to take us by surprise. At night, Kaden and I can take turns keeping a protective barrier up. If we're attacked then, the barrier would give us enough time to react at least," Kaden said, looking up to scan over the two maps, "That said, it probably wouldn't be the best idea to approach the Fortress of Ends directly from across the waters. Those living there may see us as threats and attack. We'd want to aim for the Snowsquall Tundra so that we can make a land approach. We also might meet a few of our clan's allies along the way to help us."
While they spoke, the Spellbound Golem the had defended Vin and Kaden earlier, made its way into the den. Upon its back, a metal spider sat, watching the area. "You will also have us to help protect camp at night. We might not be the best fighters, but something is better than nothing," the golem stated, coming to rest at Vin's side, "So long as there's ambient magic in the area, we wont need food either."

Twilight nodded. "Seems that all we need is for teutorix to come back with the food and water-"
"Someone say food?" Teutorix interrupted by dropping a fair pile of food in the middle of the floor between the three dragons. He also gave out three of the four water canisters that he had brought as well.
"I believe that this will tide us over for a good while, plus, I got blackrose to whip up a few of these." He extended his wing to reveal a few stacks of soylent food. "We can store these, and then have these rations for a while. Hopefully we will have enough for the trip, and you would only have to use your rations in only the most dire of situations. Twilight? Put this in your bag." He pushed the food towards her and turned towards the nocturnes. "We'd best get going. I'll wait outside until you guys decide to leave."
