And that means something coming from a dwarf.” He grunts through clenched teeth.  The dwarf mage / cleric from the Mror Holds looks out over the railing of his airship as it continues to climb over the mountains of central Xen’drik.  “Aye…. It’s cold.” Replies the mage next to him.  “As cold as the top of the world even.  But we grow closer to your destination.”The dwarf smirks as he looks up to the mage.  “Yes.  And no- I will not tell you the name of the place.  That will only be revealed when we arrive there.”“Giant ruins I would wager.   Many secret places here- many built by giants.” Says the mage hoping to learn more of the mission he was hired to aid on but distrusted beyond that.  “Or perhaps draconic?”“All in good time Averand…. All in good time.” Says the dwarf as he stares at a white thick moving cloud ahead of them.  Still staring at the cloud, recent memories of the last strange cloud he encountered still in his mind, he mutters “Call up the boys.  Something is amiss.”The cold increases even as the cloud nears.  Snow first drifts onto the deck then begins to fall regularly.  Collecting on a deck heated by two colossal fire elementals that now growl and snare at the unnatural cold it faces.  The dwarf and the mage both cast additional warming spells onto themselves even as the snow becomes a storm and then further becomes a blizzard.  Then it happens.  The roar of the winds becomes a roar of power and attack as a huge white dragon blasts out of the cloud.  It dodges a fireball caste by a mage still on the stairs leading to the deck.“Another damned dragon!” snarls the dwarf.  “It’s like they knew we were coming and got ready for us!”“I’m sure riding on a wood and fire magical craft the size of a whole town couldn’t be a factor!” quips a rogue holding up a wand that glows a bright green light.  “Aw shuddup and blast that thing out of the sky.” Demands Elderich.Behind them, in a cabin above the deck the lead captain watches with a slack jaw.  “oh-my-grandfather’s-grey- eye……ELDERICH!  ELDERICH!   Damn the wind!  He can not hear me.”“Sir-   what is that?!?” says the mage pointing at something to the left.  Something…. Bigger than the airship they ride.  Something- moving their way.Kim Elderich stares at the mass before him.  Never taking his eyes off of it he pulls back his sleeve and there, a magical bracer is.  He grasps it and activates the magic stored within.  It calls out to a set individual preselected years ago by the dwarf.   This magic item when created he had hoped to never use.  It would mean he may be about to die.  Die before completing his personal mission…. His personal dream… of discovering the full secret of the Creation Schema.</blockquote>
