Brendon Grey 25/78
Brendon nodded to her that he understood. Looking around, he saw a forest in the distance. That was also in the direction that they needed to travel, for the mountain that was atop the caverns of the Underforums had been passed under and was now a distance in the other direction. What luck!
He wiped his brow with the napkin of Myron's for it was a warm and sunny day. Then he noticed that it had been written on by the old man.
He sat down and opened it up, looking at it to try and figure out the handwriting, which was really classical. Nobody wrote like that anymore.
It read:
wind moves in such a way that the Hunger cannot grasp it
thunderbolts too are beyond its reach
buried in darkness beneath fallen stone it is well shielded from the sun.
This was amazing! Myron had made notes of the Hunger, the main goal of this party! He jumped up and down, happy that the old guy had come through for them once again. Ana and Ruby wondered as to what was going on, and Brendon explained the notes to them.
"This could be the key to winning! I know we are but three people and a lion, but at least we have this. It tells me that wind and thunderbolts are stronger than it...so remembering the histories of this game...I can say that it must mean that storms have the advantage..."
He was distracted however from his thoughts, as a terrible wailing sound was heard from far away. It made him sick to hear it, and looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a glimpse of a speck in the sky...that was moving toward the area of the sound, which was past the forest. It seemed to have a golden reflection.
"Hm...it looks like we may have our work cut out for us on the other side of the forest. I think I just spotted a Gold Dragon, but that sound was not from him. Let us go...the battle awaits us, and I fear that our time to finish it draws very close. Ana...will you accompany us?"
"You saved me from the deep darkness. Yes, I shall travel with you."

Time passes

With Saithele being placed in a beautiful grove in the forest, and Anarrima mentioning that some of his possessions could be taken from his corpse, Brendon led the team through the forest and toward the sound that they had heard...which continued and it made everyone sick to know that they were travelling more near it. However, Brendon assured the team that the dragon he had seen was a Golden one and that the dragon's aid would be vital to thier quest.
When they left the forest, they began listening and watching for signs of that dragon again hoping to find him, as well as the baying sound of some unearthly beast that they hoped would not be found.
