[QUOTE="seasong, post: 530374, member: 5137"] [color=orange][b]The Broken Temple[/b][/color] Merideth woke first, a look of sheer excitement on her face. For the first few moments, she couldn't even speak... it was more of a delighted squeal, as the sunlight faded into the predawn night. "IT'S A QUEST! FROM ALLAS! A QUEST! ATHAN! GREPPA! WAKE UP! A QUEST! I HAD A DREAM!" The two boys woke up quickly, but harshly, and neither was particularly happy to be up. The sun had not risen. The crows were not crowing. But Merideth was up, and audible throughout the entire third floor of the tower. Greppa initially denied having had the dream. And privately, he was a bit put out by it - he was intent on searching the mountains for Hurath, "just to be sure". But Athan admitted it easily (if without excitement), and Merideth was convinced that her path to heroism lay before her. So they discussed the dream. Merideth was convinced that the river canyon connecting the southernmost Theralese valley to the rest was the first stanza; Greppa remained unconvinced (and suggested that some of the orc-dominated mountains might have a river that was "more asleep than resting"), but agreed that it would not take much time to check. Greppa also remained firm that the "scurry, crawl and cowl" referred to the orcs who were "once defeated" by the dragon... but again, gave way to Merideth's desire to check the southern canyon river first. Athan just hefted his spears, checked their points, and waited for the two mage types to work out the details. They left, Merideth humming the song gently to herself, Greppa and Athan moderately caught up in the excitement of doing something that adventurers do... and above, the sun shone bright and clear on their path.
