New Tricks

[Ixion]

"Thank you auntie" she finally stood back up looking at the Wolf-kin "I got some good news my aunt sent me the information and it's actually really close to here" she said with a smile.

Dae played with the child himself as his blood child played with his mother and caused him to smile "Mmm what did Trish want dear?"

["Cosmos"]

"(she wanted the location of where i hid a cache of materials and knowledge on Lightning Steel. lets just hope that whoever she is with it worthy, cause the guardian there won't take kindly for their intrusion,)" she said, as she played with her daughter.

standing up, the Wolf-kin moved into the house and grabbed her dagger. returning outside, she crouched down in front of her children. "i'll be gone for a little bit, so remember what i've taught you," she said, as her pups nodded at her. standing up, she held the dagger in a relaxed fashion. turning to the dragoness, she nodded to her. "if you mind, please lead the way. by the way, my name is Fenrir'arcanis, but you may call me Vulpini, since you have proven yourself," she said, as she walked to stand beside her. as she waited to get going, she noticed that she was still wearing no clothes. shrugging her shoulders, she didn't care.

[Ixion]

"I'm Trish high lady of the lores" she said with a slight bow "I know it may seem like a prestigious title but i pay no mind to it." she said and indicated to the direction they would be going "We shouldn't be gone for more than a few hours" she said as they began walking.

["Cosmos"]

following Trish, Vulpini suddenly stopped. sniffing the air, her ears twitched back and forth as she caught the scent and heard of several being. as her pups ran into the house, she knew they also heard and smelled the beings. suddenly, she threw her dagger, the shriek of pain rang out as a Shadowseeker pulled the dagger from its neck. rushing over to the unobtained sword-axe, she spun on its handle, then planted her feet onto the ground. clenching her hands tight on the handle, she brought the weapon crashing over her head, smashing into the weapons blade into its neck. as its severed head rolled away, she grabbed her dagger, then hefted the sword-axe onto her shoulder, as the other Shadowseekers rushed at her.

[Ixion]

Before the Shadowseeker even made it close it's two front legs disappeared as it yelled in pain it's head was suddenly removed from it's body and Trish was standing there her blade in one hand as she examined herself surprised "Uh how did I...?" she looked to the Wolf-kin.

["Cosmos"]

as the last Shadowseeker rose above Trish with its claw raised, Vulpini stabbed her dagger into its head. as it howled in agony, she stood on Trish's shoulder as she brought the large sword-axe slicing down its middle. as the two halves of the last Shadowseeker fell to the ground, she jumped off the dragoness's shoulder. connecting the sword-axe to the small notch on her back, Vulpini pulled her dagger from the Shadowseekers skull. "i have seen Eternium once in my life, but i understand it. its a rare type of ore, which boosts the natural traits of a being. that ore is attuned to you, so it will boost whatever you wish," she said, bending her neck until a pop sounded.

[Ixion]

"I see. She said as she looked at the dead three Shadowseekers. "Looking back to her she drew a rune on the ground as it spread to cover the cabin "There that should keep this area hidden" she stood back up "The rune will keep others from stumbling on this place. If they happen to come through here they will be teleported to the other side." she said and smiled "Shall we be on our way?"

["Cosmos"]

looking at the rune, Vulpini couldn't help but growl. using her dagger, she broke the rune. using her dagger to shine the sunlight, it made sparkles off of strange wires that ran across the area. " this place hasn't been attacked because of a defense that is unbreakable," she said, as she broke one of the wires. jumping away, three large spikes of chitin crashed where she stood a split second ago. standing up, she walked to stand beside Trish, as the large chitin spikes were recalled to where they were shot from. "yes, lets go. and i would save the questions until we return, cause it will take too long," she said, licking the blood from her crystal dagger.

[Ixion]

Trish nodded and led her away. An hour later they came upon a cave with two metal doors blocking the entrance to it, both of them emanated very strong and ancient magic.

["Cosmos"]

after walking for an hour, Vulpini looked at the metal doors. letting out a groan, she spoke, "why did it have to be protected by magic. i really am starting to hate dragons." throwing her crystal dagger at the doors, it hit one of the doors and landed on the ground. sitting down, she let her head hang low. suddenly, the sound of the magic fading on one of the doors made her look at it.

[Ixion]

"The seals that where used on the door are roughly five thousand years old because back then other dragons would want to steel the secrets of lightning steel away. Uncle Warfang and my father understood this" she walked up to a small indenture hole and cut her finger open and let some blood drip into the bowl as the door unlock "My blood is the same as my father's so i can unlock the door."

["Cosmos"]

standing up, Vulpini walked up to the doors. running her hand along it, she noticed the design on the door. "if these seals were places at that time, then why does this door carry the markings used by the Temple of Lienna, which was built seventy-five hundred years ago," she spoke, able to recognize the details that lined the door anywhere. what made her sure that she was right was that the seal on one of the doors had weakened when she threw her dagger at it. picking up her dagger, looked at it as she remembered that it was given to her by Lienna herself during her training.

[Ixion]

"You would have to ask my father. I don't know why but he felt it was important to have it sealed away as for the temple part. Well like i said you would have to ask my father" the door opened out showing a well lit hallway deeper into the mountain.

["Cosmos"]

"i know exactly who to ask," Vulpini said quietly as she walked into the tunnel. walking in silence, she began to get the feeling of something weird. suddenly, she stopped walking. sniffing the air, she knew there was something off. picking up a rock, she threw it, watching it skip across the ground. as it came to a stop, she suddenly jumped back as a foot of a strange construct smashed down on the rock. looking at it as it took a position in the center of the tunnel, she looked at it as if it was judging them. staying still for a minute, she she got the feeling that there was no danger, despite its dangerous appearance, with the arcing energy sparking off of it. stepping forward, the construct stared at her, sensing its being.

[Ixion]

"This is the construct" she whispered "Kneel so it knows we are humble" she said as she got to her knees and looked up at it "Construct of old, I'm the daughter of the one who asked you to do your task" she said aloud "Please allow us to pass and acquire some of what you guard" she said never looking up.
