Gal stepped back a little. "So, you are hinting that the group that went with this Xeus person might be problematic? I assume you are the demon I conversed with yesterday. Hmm..." 

He lifted his notebook and opened it, gnawing his pen. Things didn't look good. It seemed like everything pointed to the prophecy. That was at least partly normal, but that probably meant that the prophecy was far more important than regular prophecies.

Which meant... Gal groaned. He had to study the prophecy. Great.

He turned to Cara, who ran from the tower. "It seems that this creature-" he pointed at the towering Shadow- "is upset by the fact we stayed here, and by the fact some of our group went with Xeus. I... Think it's a demon."

"He found a dragon. A monorealmatic one, which spoke to him I assume, who he then killed when it went insane, from what I can gather. I took care of the body because it's not right to leave a dragon's body just lying there. Now will you please explain about the prophecy and quest you keep referencing?"

And is in contact with a Dreamwalker. It seems a little important. Zanidar, as a Spiritual being, might be able to sense its presence.

The demon sighed. "Aʟʟᴏᴡ ᴍᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴇxᴘʟᴀɪɴ..."

Zanidar sent out wispy mists of his essence, and they formed into the shape of a globe, made up of red strands, blue strands, and yellow strands.

"Iɴ ᴛʜɪs Pʟᴀɴᴇ, ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀʀᴇ ᴛʜʀᴇᴇ Rᴇᴀʟᴍs ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴄᴏ-ᴇxɪsᴛ ᴛᴏ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴇ ᴇᴠᴇʀʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴡᴇ sᴇᴇ ᴀʀᴏᴜɴᴅ ᴜs. Wɪᴛʜᴏᴜᴛ Cᴏɴɴᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ, ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴇʀɢʏ ʙᴇᴛᴡᴇᴇɴ Rᴇᴀʟᴍs, ᴛʜᴇ Rᴇᴀʟᴍs ᴡᴇ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ᴏғ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ʙᴇᴄᴏᴍᴇ sᴇᴘᴀʀᴀᴛᴇ ᴘʟᴀɴᴇs ᴏғ ᴇxɪsᴛᴇɴᴄᴇ."

To demonstrate, the red, blue, and yellow separated from the globe, becoming separate globes of their own.

The globe became a teal blue dragon, flying above his audience's heads.

The dragon shrieked in pain and turned a deep red.

The essence dissipated and became a part of Zanidar again. Zanidar turned his shifting head to the side.

Gal paled. Sef hinted at some kind of Calamity that happened a millennia ago that might return, but... This was grand. And probably also the reason he should contact his Idei. Luckily, the next morning was exactly the right time for this. Hopefully, the Owls will be able to help.

Mmm. I believe that for plot purposes, knowledge of this "Calamity" is limited greatly, even knowing the name is very rare knowledge. Also, no one knows exactly what it entailed either, other than that it was bad and it might happen again.

They could know of a Calamity, and it's rumored devastation, and its rumored to come again, but the only dragon that would know what's going on or how to fix it would be the dragon we're after.

If anyone knew that ahead of time, no one would need to find a dragon, and this RP would have to be renamed.

Minuet nodded and followed quickly.

Ara hurried behind as the group picked their way as quickly as possible through the forest underbrush. After a few seconds, even as they tried to skirt a wide path around the elves, Ara began to hear the noises of a large group and the flickering of firelight through the trees. 

The noises were rough and guttural, but Ara could make out snippets of common and elvish through them as she tried to listen more closely. Something about... food? Ara gulped, pulling her attention back just in time to notice the creature standing just five meters to her left. It was well camouflaged, grey scarred skinned with a cloak of leaves wrapped around it to hide. Its angry eyes peered out at the forest.

Ara stumbled back in surprise, and a twig went snap under her heel. The elf, probably a perimeter guard, looked quickly to the source of the sound. Ara had a moment of panic before his gaze seemed to pass right through her. Then, panic welled up again as the guard began to creep toward her, looking for the source of the sound. It its guttural language, it called out something, and another of the voices answered back, not twenty meters away it seemed.

Zanidar looked her in the eye. Lightning flashed around him and rain began to pour violently. "...A sᴛᴏʀᴍ," he said simply, "I ᴍᴜsᴛ ɢᴏ."

With that, the violet essence forced itself back through Orpheus's body, and Orpheus awoke with a gasp. He looked around, concerned. Had... Zanidar just, left him? What had happened?

"Why is it raining?" he asked.
