Seemingly out of the shadowy darkness of the cavern through which she previously passed, Aurilaz obediently yet silently rematerialized before the Wolfen and bowed her head low once more, "What is thy bidding, my Mistress Master?"
"I have need for some orichalcum," Kana told her. "That is if you have any."
Levitating a small chest from the bottom of her chamber over to the Wolfen and placing it at Kana's feet, the Black Dragon declared, "This chest contains the orichalcum that you seek. Is there any other way that I may serve you, my Mistress Master?"
"Thank you, but no. That is all," Kana said. "You may go back to resting."
Casting a glance over to the fire-stone dragon, Aurilaz snarled at Quake, "And what are you doing here? I did not permit you entry into my domain. Begone, Little Wyrm, unless you wish to suffer for your trespass."
"EEP!!" Quake backed away from the much larger dragon making a hasty retreat, "HEY! NO PROBLEM! I'LL JUST BE ON MY WAY...OUT OF HERE!!"
"I called for her," Kana told Aurilaz as she brought the chest to Tommy. "And I will send her on her way," then to Quake, "If you could go and keep an eye on V for us."
Once Quake was gone, Aurilaz obediently retreated back to her inner sanctum without another word.
The Gamer accepted the small chest from Kana. "Thank you." Popping the lid, he gazed at the white-gold metal within. "Shiny. Okay, speaking of quick and dirty field expedients…" He glanced around once more, sizing up their assets. "Here's the basic plan: I cast a quick Circle – I'll need Sterling, Alyson, Serna and Willow Bark with Kana's Bow at the Quarters – and prepare the orichalcum." He looked at Kana. "Under the circumstances, I think the best way to do this is paint some runic tattoos on your skin. They'll facilitate transferring the physical link from the Talisman to your body, and keep it stable." Tommy frowned for a moment, thinking. "Alyson, how quickly can you store some elemental energy in the tear? It doesn't need to be a lot, but it needs to be a good balance of energies."
"I don't think that will be hard for her," Kana piped up. "The best/worst possibility will be that she'll have more than enough to choose from. Though a dead mountain turning green might cause some curiosity."
Irzen, Serna and Willow began to move into the same positions they held when they helped Tommy open the portal into which they deposited The Mercy Family.
"Well, here we go again," The Swordsman drew forth Evenflow and held his blade at the ready.
"At least we know what to do this time," The Ranger drew forth an Energy Arrow from Kana's Lightning Bow.
"But I hope we're not making the same mistake as before, Master Willow," concluded Serna as she held her Shield aloft, "I hope we're not putting too much on the back of Master Tommy to complete the spell."
More than a little worried about this revelation, Neven turned to The Gamer, "Master Tommy, are you sure you're going to be alright in casting this spell? And is there anything that I can do to help?"
Kana closed her eyes for a brief moment. "Hmm. Ok, I'm ready," she murmured before opening her eyes and saying to Tommy, "I'm Ready."
