[size=4][font=cambria]A dragon is laying underneath a willow tree. Its leaves are a deep purple as is its bark, its branches drape down to the ground. Mushrooms and lichens glow with a feint cyan glow. The dragon seems almost one with the flora all around.
You don't know what is it, but you feel the need to get closer.
As you approach the tree, the dragon moves its head towards you, acknowledging your presence. It waits. It seems to be inviting you closer.
You make your way towards it, past the glowing plants, past the soft curtain of leaves and face the beast.
A female guardian lays before you, she has a striped hide, resembling the twisting trunk of the trees all around you. Dark flowers are draped elegantly on her wings, some wrap themselves around her limbs ending in lilac roses. She too seems to emit that same soffused sapphire halo of the vegetation around.
She looks at you and then turns her head up, towards the sky.
[b][color=7a52cd][I]"Dusk is just after sunset, once the top of the Sun has passed the horizon, the darkest stage of twilight just before the cloak of darkness of the night takes over."[/I][/color][/b]
As she says that you have also cast your gaze upwards to look at the sky, the Sun is setting and the last golden trails it has left behind are quickly being drowned by the approaching shadows.
[b][color=7a52cd][I]"It is not quite dark yet, but the Shadows are already moving. Would you like to hear a story?"[/I][/color][/b]
Her voice is gentle but not quiet, you can hear her words clearly and yet in the silence of the woods she is but a whisper. You nod and sit down, facing her.
The ghost of a smile appears over the dragon's face as her body flares up with magic, what seem like cyan blazes engful the both of you.
You hear the voice of the platinum scaled guardian once more, she sounds gleeful.
[b][color=7a52cd][I]"This is the story of a Clan living in the depths of the Tangled Woods, the Clan of the Horas, the hours. The few hours between sunset and night."[/I][/font][/size][/b][/color]

[size=4][font=cambria]No one knows the history of the Clan's foundation better than its leader, Lixiss.
When asked about it she will give one of two answers: the first, a short and half-hearted lie about setting down with her mate, Alouarn and eventually evolving their little piece of world into a safe haven for those seeking refuge in the depths of the woods; the second, a story of pride and guilt and duty.
As you inch closer to the Guardian, she nods her head in courtesy and shifts to the side, inviting you closer.
[b][color=7a52cd][I]"Traveler, good evening. I hope to find you well on the Clan's grounds."[/I][/color][/b] she says.
You smile and nod, telling her about the time spent with the rest of the Clan members. The question is one the tip of your tongue but you are wary of asking it, dreading a hostile reaction.
[b][color=7a52cd][I]"So, to what do I owe this visit? Surely there are more... fitting dragons in the Clan with whom to share an idle chat."[/I][/color][/b] her voice is gentle and stable in asking you, perhaps tinted with amusement at the recalling of a certain Spiral.
You do not answer immediately, giving room for silence to fill the space between the two of you. There is no dragon in sight, as expected from Lixiss. She is known to be a rather lone individual despite her title of leader.
[b][color=7a52cd][I]"Traveler, though you hesitate now in making your request, rest assured that whichever secret you seek to reveal shall drown in these same shadows that surround us. Whatever it is you wish to know shall be discussed will lose its voice in the darkness that approaches."[/I][/color][/b] she states, her tone becoming slightly less playful. She wants you to understand that nothing you say now will disrupt or end your stay in the Clan's grounds.
With renewed spirits you face her properly and prepare to get to know the true story behind the Horas.

[font=cambria][size=4]After having spent some time in the Clan's grounds, it is impossible for you to ignore the hushed whispers about the so-called 'Enlightened Forum'.
When you ask about it even the more jovial clan members quiet down and avert their gaze, ignoring your inquiry and ending the conversation swiftly. Something is definitely going on and you will get to the bottom of it.
When you ask Lixiss, she too is slightly uneasy when telling you about the separated branch of the main Clan, almost as if it pains her to do so. From what you can understand, they seem like a bunch of fanatics, obsessed with finding something belonging to the Lightwearer which they believe stolen by the Shadowbinder. You can't help but wonder about them.
As soon as you step out of Lixiss' nest and start the walk back to the main clan, a Guardian calls for you. If not for the expensive silks adorning his body, you would not have seen him as his hide is dark and mingles with the bark of the trees surrounding you.
[b][color=db9641][I]"Traveler. Follow me."[/b][/color][/I]
His voice is gravelly but not unpleasant, his words speak of urgency and leave no room for you to object.
You reluctantly follow the Guardian in silence, the soft chiming of his jewelry seems your travel companion so is he quiet even in his stride. The colourful lanterns floating around the both of you make a splendid job of lighting the way, though you notice the dragon has his face completely covered in embroided cloth, making it impossible for him to see with his eyes.
As you are questioning the strange individual, the two of you come upon what you think is the Guardian's nest. Scrolls and tomes are thrown and piled mindlessely everywhere, some in alarming positions though everything stands perfectly still and in place even as the dragon starts digging through them with vigor.
You spy a [gamedb item=28861] hastily coming to the Guardian's aid, putting back the discarded items already moved out of the way. It's almost as if you have stopped existing for the dragon the moment he finished talking to you.
You slowly start moving backwards, you clearly feel like you're not welcome in the Guardian's nest but as soon as you turn, the bustling freezes.
[b][color=db9641][I]"If you wish to leave do so, but know that this is the last you will hear and see from the Forum."[/b][/color][/I]
His words ring in your ears, you can feel that his words are final. The uneasiness you feel in the presence of the dragon makes you understand why the Clan does not want anything to do with them. You can feel his eyes staring straight through you, a voice in the back of your mind is saying that you cannot lie in his presence and that he too, will only speak the truth when voicing his thoughts.
Maybe it is best for you to listen to him, after all, what bad could it bring?
