Mave Gerhart · Posted: Fri Nov 30, 2007 12:05 am Post subject: Flying into the horizon...

Mave stood on the roof of his keep, looking out over Dark Cove. His arms felt like lead, he had not slept much lately and the constant battling in Minoc, constant patrols in Vesper... they left him drained. They had had success in battling the forces at Minoc, the enemies fallen far outnumbered his own, but there were so many. When one fell, there were always two to take his place.

As he sat down in his chair, thinking about battle, he gazed over the horizon. Nodding once to himself as if confirming something, he slowly stood, walking over to Belegohtar and patting the dragon on the flank.

"Rest for a bit my friend" he said, still gazing at the horizon. "I must go pack some things and then we will be off. We have quite a long ways to go."

Belegohtar watched Mave as he went down the steps into the keep, snorting slightly in confusion, but slowly he laid his head down and his eyes closed, doing as he was instructed, trusting Mave.

After a few hours, they were gone, a dragon and a rider, flying over Dark Cove and disappearing into the distance. Two notes were delivered by the Gerhart servants, one to Alessandra and one to Tarothin.

Mave shifted slightly on the back of Belegohtar, signaling him to land. They had flown for days, only stopping to rest once on a small island they had flown over. Mave had known that the dragon could not fly the entire distance in one span, especially with the pace he was pushing. There was no gentle gliding at a leisurely pace this time.

Flying down to the land that now lay before them, Mave directed Belegohtar to a secluded spot of woods, a place where the dragon would not be seen landing. He did not want to frighten those that lived here.

"I'm going to go get some supplies just in case and ask around" Mave told the dragon as he lept from his back and untied the now empty satchel. "Rest here until you have regained your strength, then fly up high, far enough where those on the ground cannot see you, and look around as well. I will signal for you if I need you."

Belegohtar lowered his head slighty in understanding and watched as Mave disappeared into the woods, headed towards the town.

Mave walked around the town, giving descriptions, asking questions of the people he met. Finally he was directed to a small cottage a ways out of the village.

Walking up to the door, he knocked a few times then stepped back. The lady's face broke into a grin when she opened the door and saw him. "Hello m'dear" he said with a smile as she grabbed him in a hug.

"Is he home?" he asked with a slight chuckle. Smiling warmly she nodded and led him in the cottage.

Sitting in front of a warm fireplace, a man's silhouette turned as Mave entered. Rising quickly he crossed the room and the two men clasped arms.

"Well met old friend" Mave said with a slight smile.

"Well met indeed" the man said, motioning Mave to a seat infront of the fire.

Long minutes the two sat in conversation, speaking of past and current events, eventually leading to things currently taking place in Vesper, Cove, and the Dark Order.

"The land is lawless" Mave explained. "Though the Order is perhaps a stronger hand than is necessary, there is no other choice left. Alessandra was kidnapped and to get her back I had to do things I had hoped I would never have to do again. The numbers I and the Order fight against are great, but as you know... it is not always about numbers. But when I thought of how to best bring Order to the land once again, you came to mind. The Order would benefit greatly from you joining, from the justice that could be dealt... will you come brother... will we join once more in the same cause..."

Long moments passed as the man gazed into the fire. Finally, with a slight nod, he reached across and clapped Mave on the back. "The quiet life has given me peace my friend" he said. "and now it is time I brought peace back to those that need it."

As the two men stood, they looked back towards the far side of the room. There the lady stood, eyes damp with unshed tears, a small form peaking out from around her legs.

Walking over, Mave gave her a hug and smiled at the little boy. "He is beautiful" he said with a smile. "I will wait for you outside" Mave said to the man as he stepped out the door.

Mave waited outside a few minutes, calling Belegohtar down from the skies. Finally the man walked through the door and Mave threw him a rune. "To Dark Cove" he said with a smile. "Figured it would be quicker than a return voyage."

With a nod and a final glance towards the home where wife and son stood watching from a window, he spoke the words Vas Rel Por, opening a gate for he and Mave to return to Dark Cove, to the work that awaits...
