Message: <blockquote data-quote="Morpheus Kenlor" data-source="post: 35117" data-attributes="member: 824">I stood there, looking down at the snow-covered ground and at the white wisps of breath forming and fading in front of me.  With my thoughts on His words, I didn’t even notice the frigid northern air numbing my exposed face.  He is coming, he is coming.  Like a bell that keeps its sound for seconds, those three words kept echoing in my mind, over and over again.  I raised my face to the winter sun and closed my eyes.  It felt warm.  Almost pleasant.  Snap out of it Morpheus, you’ve got a job to do.  I looked at my group who were all turned the other away, but there was something wrong.  The terror on their faces, it…it was something I haven’t seen since the razing of Zhentil Keep.  Oh, the Keep.  I turned around and than I saw and felt why they were afraid.  There is not a single creature on this world that deserves my respect but this…these beings I have always feared.  He was more than three-hundred feet away but I felt him looking straight through me, piercing my very being with those silver-white orbs.  At that moment, time stopped.  The sound of wind howling and of my cloak waving in that same wind just ceased.  All I heard was my hart beating, louder and louder until I heard it, not only in my chest but all around me.  Suddenly, I jumped back when he spread his massive wings and beat them against the air, blanketing the giants and gnolls that stood beside him in a veritable blizzard.  His wings kept beating and beating against the air until he jumped.  A massive leap, straight up, more than fifty feet high.  The mighty creature flew over us, hundreds of feet above the ground.  He moved into the sun and when he turned around and dove straight down throwing his large head back, all I could do is pray that the One would look after me as he did in the past.</blockquote>
