Kaelan blinked. He thought about the question for some moments. Why was he here? It had no reason to let him be. He hadn't tried to come here. He simply...was. He crossed his arms, and a thoughtful finger scratched at his chin and pulled at his lower lip. After several moments of pregnant...

"You do not burn though?" Kaelan lifted his arms and glanced down at his form. As with every time he'd found himself among the elemental planes, there was some degree of tactile sensation, but no physical harm would come to his form. He could swim through the water realm without drowning or...

Warmth. Heat! Gods alive this was uncomfortable, but in an all too different way! This was no endless void of buzzing gray, no symphony of voiceless demands gnawing at Kaelan's brain, but somewhere all too familiar, somewhere...well, else! Pools of lava and dense, hot stone surrounded Kaelan...

How long had it been? How long had Kaelan been wasting away here since the Mountainbreaker's fall? The elf had lost all track of time since then. Now there was only the static. The Draw. The voices of his friends had almost wholly left him. No more did he dream of far away places, grandiose and...

Another night, another few hours spent in weary malaise. Yet, despite the eternal buzzing, he now sought more than ever to return to sleep. He wanted to--no, needed to hear that voice again. Like a sweet siren call heard from within a rampaging storm, the voice promised some small level of...

Buzzing. Horrid, sizzling fuzz that filled the air like so much static, tedious--no, maddening. Yet only he could hear it, it seemed. The sound invaded his mind at all hours...it had ever since his battle with the Mountainbreaker, and in the weeks and months that followed it had only grown...

Darkness closed upon the borders of Kaelan's vision. His head swam and his fingers and toes went numb. Try as he may to keep himself conscious, magic's cost had caught up to him. As Taiyo finished closing Ash's wounds and resuscitating him, the summoner smiled, his breathing shallow. At last...

If the heat was unbearable before, now it was cataclysmic. Kaelan could feel life around him combusting as Zull's inner fire raged. It was as though the sun had landed on the surface of Arethil, lighting the night to the point that onlookers for miles would likely think that sunrise had come...

Umi stared back at Zull Du'un blank and placid. Quiet chittering and a few errant bubbles emanating from his mandibles were the only response the elder dragon would receive. If the water elemental could understand Zull's boasts, it wasn't by any means evident. As the gout of magma erupted forth...

Something became immensely clear as Kaelan's ears rang from the piercing bellow the dragon let loose: all the damage they had done to Zull Du'un thus far had been for nothing. He was a monster, a demi-god, a force of nature and destruction more than a living being. It was foolhardy to try to...

Scales sloughed off of Zull's back, tumbling to the earth like molten meteorites, and the reddish glow of fiery magic that coursed within the mighty dragon seemed to fade subtly. It seemed that Shimo's sting had far more of an effect than Kaelan had initially thought. Good; the Dragon Keepers...

Unfortunately, Kaelan would never be able to make it to Shimo before the next wave of Zull's onslaught swept across the battlefield. For just a moment it seemed that the icy scorpion had found his mark, skewering the dragon's leg with his stinger. Any excitement Kaelan felt at seeing the attack...

Not agile enough. The stomping tantrum that followed caught Kaelan and his summon completely off guard. Shimo was sent flying to the wayside, while the elf was hurled in the opposite direction and tumbled across the ground. Ouch. Well, no one said this was going to be easy. It was perhaps only...

Trepidation had filled Kaelan's mind and gut for some time prior to this confrontation. Facing the largest dragon the world had likely ever seen was no small feat. Zull and Aivrid alone had managed to summarily defeat the entirety of the Dragon Keeper's forces during their last confrontation...

It was well that Taiyo was holding her own against the second monstrosity, even forcing the thing to retreat. Kaelan was barely clinging to consciousness at this point, his eyelids feeling increasingly heavy as the seconds dragged on. The elf wearily watched as Illiris and Umno broke their...
