"Pfft, I could kill him by myself. That attack Toun saved Sardo from, wouldn't fazed me." John replied. He wasn't boasing, merely commenting that thanks to his smoke self spell, he would've survived. He still would've needed healing though.

Er're laughed; "I'm glad we brought the old man, he's so stupid he's funny."
Erda's voice filled the clearing; "Under no circumstances are any of you to engage Bahamut alone. Stick to at least a partnered up relationship, teams of two if we get separated but know this. If any of you, perhaps even myself, were to attack Bahamut alone he would kill you without breaking a sweat. Do not let your pride, your ego or your arrogance get you killed this day."
"If it comes down to us getting split up, I'll cover Rend. I don't require magic to be lethal against Dragons, so I won't hamper Rend in a fight. Brunnex can get the old man." Er're sighed heavily, why did these guys have to eat so often?

Brunnex chuckled “Trust me, Tourivil, you’re an interesting guy but I’m not sticking around your sleeping form for six years especially since you haven’t even taken me to dinner. It’s been a day or something.” Brunnex considered. He probably would’ve spoken to Strange despite Tourivil’s warning. It was doubtful he would get the chance though.
“So, do you believe me that Strange died and ascended, now?” He said with a chuckle referring to Tourivil’s earlier disbelief.
***
Brunnex2 sighed “Where’s my god damn army when I need it...” He muttered to himself. “We’re walking, John.” He instructed firmly.
He rubbed his eyes. This ‘quest’ was starting to grate on his nerves....

"The king is a twit, his son alone could fend off Bahamut. It is nothing less than greed and fear that he rejected your wish." Er're shrugged; "I have come to expect that from the inhabitants of this country, in my few years stay here I have met only a handful who have broken this stereotype, take it as a high compliment when I say you are one of those people, as is our Ork lord friend over there." Er're spoke solely to Brunnex, but given a good sense of hearing it would be easy for the others to over hear him.

"You can walk." John said, finsihing his meat. "I'll glide." and as he said it, a small bit of cloud formed next to him. He sat on it and it lifted him up gently. "Anyone want a free lift?" He asked, the cloud supporting his entire body, allowing him to lie back.

"I doubt I can tolerate much more chatter, I will jog alongside Rend again. I suspect Brunnex shall be a horse again, go watch Erda's back." Er're seemed to say this curtly.

“Just you remember the man who helped you raise to power.” Brunnex told him. He was having a great deal of fun with this situation. It had been almost as entertaining as he’d thought it would be. Of course, so far, not much actual questing had been done.

“I would find a balcony and start babbling out some metaphors related to you being all-powerful and Brunnex being the sexiest man in existence.” Brunnex joked before answering seriously “I guess we should call for the high priest.”
Brunnex seemed thoughtful for a moment and then went to the door he knocked on the closed side. They would clearly post guards to defend their new prophet.

*As though summoned by his mention, the High Priest entered. He looked a mite tired. He surveyed the prone Tourivil for a moment. He then extended his hand to help Tourivil up, and tourivil took it. He was pulled up onto wobbly legs. The high priest then spoke. *
Did Strange speak to you? *The priest asked, a hint of excitement in his voice. *
Yes, he did. Amongst other things. *Tourivil said, his pains beginning to recede. * I am the eyes of the desert father, sent to observe and correct his chosen people.
*This seemed to please the High priest greatly, Tourivil and brunnex were promptly hurried out of the small bed room, and into the upstairs of the tower, to the personal eating room of the High priest. Soft cushions lined the floor, and a low stone table dominated the room. On it were several cut crystal decanters of the curious wined the desert men brewed. Along with several flavors of flatbread, meats, cheeses, and assorted melons and berries. They were sat down around the table. Several inquisitors stood at the entrance, occasionally stealing a glance of the new prophet.
Tourivil began eating ravenously...*

Brunnex smiled as he began to eat. “I could certainly get used to this.” He said opening one of the decanters and draining it. He really liked said wine and, through a filtering process, he couldn’t get drunk unless he wanted too.

There is a great deal to do, my lord. *The high priest said to Tourivil. * You will need to inform the people of your coming. You will need housing too. *The high priest looked as if he was about to continue, but tourivil raised a hand to stop him. *
Build another, small spire alongside this temple, I will reside there. *The high priest nodded as Tourivil spoke. * When I die, it can be annexed as a school or worship center. In this way, the temple can expand with each coming prophet.
*It was worth noting that every word that was spoke to, or by, tourivil, was being written down by a scribe in the corner of the room. *
I will speak to the people at some point today or tomorrow. I must recover first though. Strange has tested and tried me ever since I entered his realm.
*He then gestured to Brunnex.*
You will know this man as my adviser, investigator, and protector. He will be treated with the utmost respect at all times.

Brunnex grinned in a way someone who was to be respected probably should. It seemed Tourivil was honouring those who helped him to power. He straightened his smile into a serious nod of acknowledgement and, with that, his body began to change the blue sparks appearing around him again. By the time he was finished he was regular Brunnex again. If he was to be painted at some time or another he wished that his form be remembered.
As his first act as Great Protector he elected to drink another decanter of wine. It was lucky that there was five such decanters. “I will sleep there too.” Brunnex said presumptuously. “And I would ask that the chef be thanked for his good food.” He added again as he ravaged the flat bread.

His ability to change forms does rather make him more useful. As does his unassuming manner. *Tourivil said with a smile. He poured himself a glass of wine, and slowly drank on it. He had demolished most of the food around him. *
*The high priest nodded. * The "chef" is actually my wife and daughters. They are rather gifted, are they not? And if you say he will be your confidant, then so it shall be, my lord. You are the prophet. I will now leave you to your contemplations. When you are ready to speak, I will give the call to prayer.
*Tourivil nodded. He then gave a wave of his hand, and the inquisitors promptly left, the scribe following. *
It is excellent that Strange taught me about these people, or I would fine them entirely baffling. *Tourivil said with a shake of his head. *
You will have to come to understand them, and more or less become one of them, my friend. I may have inadvertently trapped you here. If the food and wine continues to be this good though, then that may not be so bad. Strange also informed me that to a human, the women are unusually beautiful, so that is a plus too. *Tourivil gave a roguish grin. *
Anyways, what do you wish to do, my friend?

Brunnex appreciated the veiled compliment that Tourivil gave and had answered the High Priest affirmatively before he left.
Brunnex shrugged “I can maintain my clone for, well, ever. Though I can’t control his actions for that long.” He paused thinking “I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.” He decided.
"It is my pleasure, Tourivil. The seeds of great and miraculous events have been sewn here. I have always wondered my purpose; well a truer purpose..." He faltered "I'll stay by you, Tourivil, but we remain equals. The moment you order me about like these people will signal the end of our partnership here."
“Do first, do first....” He changed subject to a much more light-hearted one picking up a different decanter (not the one Tourivil poured a glass from) and drained in. “My bodily pleasures are all but sated. I am happy to do whatever you wish,” a mischievious grin split across his face “your Holiness.”
It was fair to say the Brunnex may even have less of a serious nature than Brun or the wine was actually getting at him...

Of course we will be equals. Though, when we are with the desertmen, I must appear to be in charge. I am their prophet. I suppose that means you can get away with just about anything, within reason, as long as you have my blessing. Anyways, it is good that you have decided to stay with me. I will no doubt need council, and an ambassador to the people of Sardo.
*Tourivil then took a moment to rub his forehead. *
I suppose I should give a speech to my people, shouldn't I? That seems like the thing to do. *Tourivil drained two glasses of wine in quick succession. *
You should probably aquatint yourself with the city. I'll need to discuss a few things with the high priest.

Brunnex stood with a nod. He accepted the terms. He magiced up a small green card and proffered it to Tourivil. “Say my name and I’ll appear.” He told him. When Tourivil accepted he left. He stopped downstairs sitting in one of the pews for a little while listening to a prayer being lead by a priest before departing.
Brunnex was in half a mind to find a brothel (if there even was one) but he knew that even if it was legal in this society it definitely wouldn’t be to consume the girl at the point of climax. Unfortunately, due to the fact one was at a weaker point of will during climax, he had failed not to consume every woman he had ever had sex with.
Instead he spent the next few hours just walking through the city. He did nothing else really except for the part where he followed an attractive young woman all the way to her house and almost gave in right their. It ws at that point that Brunnex had disappeared.
When he reappeared an hour later in Unu’Kuth’s centre he had something of a guilty look on his face. He had been sated in exchange for even more of his good karma...
***
Brunnex2 sighed becoming a hors again and galloping off the way they had been told by Erda. John would catch up...
***
Shang’s fist clenched at the apology but he said nothing further. His father was the God of Wisdom and this vendetta wasn’t wise especially as his Uncle yet lived. Shang was happy to see that Fen was okay after what he said. It didn’t occur to him to ask why Shilor hadn’t helped. “Well he won’t attack now.” He said confident that they would be more than enough to defeat anyone.
“Where are we going?” He asked Fen wondering where they would go after the Temple.
“Mount Olympus.” Shilor answered for him “Fenrir wishes to meet his father again.”
“Cool.” Shang said assuming Fen had told Shilor while he was out.

"Wha-?" Fen was taken aback, so that's where they were going? He hadn't said anything to this strange Ferrock and yet Shilor was totally right, Fen still had too many questions for his father that needed answering.
"Ye-..Yeah, we're going to Mount Olympus. Any idea where it is?" Fen hadn't the slightest clue, otherwise he might have tried to g there at some point to see what it was like.
Faolin pointed in the direction that Shilor had pointed; "Shilor says its at the top of a mountain in that direction, though he doesn't know if its actually there or if its a portal to get there that's at the top."
"It's a portal." Fen blurted this out, then paused and wondered why he had said it. He hadn't a clue if it was a portal or not; "Odd.."
"Well, seeing as your dad owns the place its safe to assume you're correct." Faolin nodded slowly, perhaps Lazarus had made Fen say that so that they knew what to expect. Then again, perhaps not.
---
Erda and the group flew onwards for an hour or two in silence.
A large cave entrance was becoming clear in the distance. It seemed to be a rather new addition to the landscape, and was just a large hole rising out of the ground leading into absolute darkness. It must have travelled a fair distance underground because the nearest mountain was still a few miles away.
"That must be the one." Er're mused, not missing a beat in his jog/

*Tourivil quickly found the high priest, and within 10 minutes to call to prayer resounded across the city. The curious populace assembled quickly. It was impossible to contain the rumors of a new prophet being found. The appearance of a strange elf in strange clothes on the High priest's prayer balcony seemed to confirm these suspicions. After a short while, Tourivil raised his right hand, and quietly touched his left to his throat to amplify his voice. *
Men of the Unu'Kuth! The desert father smiles upon you, his faithful. You have adhered to the teachings of the Mouth with the greatest devotion! Glory upon you! But the desert father is no absent, distant father. No! He loves his children, and wants the to stay on the path to true understanding and purity of soul. So, as he sent the mouth unto you, he has sent me. I am the eyes of the desert father! I will observe, and I will correct any missteps amongst the chosen people. But fear not, For my eyes do not only look inward, they also look outward. As the father loves you, he has sent me to protect his faithful from villains that would attempt to sway them from the path!
I will also be writing a grand tome. All of the teachings of the father from The Great mouth, and those of my own! This text can then be added to by great sages and further prophets, and thus, the faith in the father can be spread. But do not think we will become missionaries, No! Only those who willingly come into the fold, who approach by their own choosing, can truly know the desert father's wisdom. I do not ask you, however, to accept me on fate alone. The mouth appeared with a worm, and so shall I.
*And with that, Tourivil pointed out to the flatlands outside the city. The worm which strange had used in battle appeared. 20 years larger and stronger, and covered in black armor plates. It burst through the ground with a mighty crash, rose a portion of it's gargantuan body a hundred feet in the air, then crashed back down to the ground with a mighty thud before disappearing back into the earth.*
*The crowd promptly went insane. *

Brunnex clapped gently. Brun had doted on religion a lot and, from what Brunnex could tell, Tourivil was building onto some good foundations. If he could get this book down then the religion, unless destroyed by outside threat, was due to last the test of time.
He liked Tourivil’s style and his worm even more. What a true feat of biological engineering it was. If he consumed that beast he’d be even more powerful than he was now. He put the thought from his mind. It would cause more harm than good.
Brunnex disappeared reappearing in the High Priest’s quarters out of sight of all those below. “Nice speech. Is that Strange’s original worm?”

Of course it is. Why would I lie? Best part is that the worm did that without any help from me. It is something of an Alpha-worm, yes?

"More dragons." Erda blew a small puff of black smoke from his nostrils, the fact John had flew with him slightly irritated the dragon.
"I will go on ahead, we will regroup later on once you all reach the cavern" Erda sped up and left John behind, where this open air exit was was anyone's guess but Erda had no reason to lie about it.

Er're and the others continued their jog/gallop/float with John added to their number.
"Good, I guess its up to us now." Er're sped up a little, he was now leading the pack in front of even Rend's horse; "I'll go first, the rest of you catch up when you can." He smirked, and then his leaps and bounds increased to jumps. His legs each as graceful as a swan, yet pushing him forward with the speed faster than any horse.
He would not reach the cave entrance much earlier than the others, just so much so that he would be able to check things out before their arrival.

John looked ahead at the caves, watching Er're increase his speed. The thought of tripping him up came to mind, and while he did contemplate it for a moment, he ultimately decided against it. It would've been funny though. John summond a spear from the cloud, which got smaller, not muchbut noticably so. "This definately we be an interesting fight, us five against a load of dragons." He said aloud, sharpening the spear with a summoned knife. Again little bits of smoke flew off the weapon, but it seemed to be absorbed by the cloud. One could wonder why he sharpened smoke with a blade.

*The high priest responded quickly. *
We will house both you and the prophet in one of my rooms. It is hardly as good as you deserve, My lord prophet, but your spire will be constructed quickly.
*Tourivil raised his hand. *
Take as much time as is needed for it, simply be sure to build it well. Now, I must speak to my adviser in private, Thank you for your generosity, High Priest.
*Tourivil bowed to the priest, who seemed to nearly faint before rushing out of the room. Tourivil then turned to Brunnex. *
My friend, I wish that you would indulge me with a favor. Do so, and I will get you enough wine to bathe in, sound good? *Tourivil gave a grin. *

Er're arrived at the cave entrance, his jog slowing down to a slow walk almost instantly. His breath became clear in the oddly cold air of the cave, he was breathing more heavily than usual but who wouldn't be after running for so long, never mind at such a speed.
He crouched low and drew his blade, creeping into the cave like a shadow. His breathing became regulated, a small spell was used to make it invisible even in this environment. He walked for around twenty metres into the cave, at which point the others reached the mouth so he retracted backwards, reaching them with a light jog.
"As far as I can tell there isn't anything for a good hundred yards or so at least, after that its anyone's guess. The cave opens up into a tight tunnel, the horse will need to stay put and we'll need to move in single file. Brunnex, unfortunately you specialize in healing your body so you will go first in case of a surprise attack. John, you go next, then Rend and I'll bring up the rear since I have the most experience fighting dragons I'll be able to quickly dispatch any that come up behind us.
Though, only dragonlings could fit in the tunnels so we shouldn't need to worry about a large scale attack until we at least hit a wider tunnel." Er're sheathed his blade as he eyed them up, it was clear he had taken up a sort of commanding role.
