Minutes? Hours? Days?” Kormak said, watching the sparks fall from the Lightning Stone every time he tapped it. “Probably tomorrow before I'll be able to cast the spells to return.  Be patient, I will be back.”  The elf took a deep breath.  “Brace yourselves, we're about to activate the Machinery of the Continent and activate the Crystal Towers Defenses.  From there, I doubt there is anyone living who knows what will happen next.” “There are several,” Keeper said quietly as he stood, the frost that covered him snapping and crunching as he moved.  “Though technically one of them is not living.” They all turned to Keeper, waiting for more.  There was none.“And?” Kormak said. The construct shook his head.  “Now is not the time.  Soon.” “You have any idea what it's talking about Suniel?” Kormak said.The elf shook his head. “No.  I'm sure he'll tell us when the time is right.” Suniel walked over to Bail and looked the half-dragon in the eye.  “Ready?” Bail nodded, holding the Frozen Stone close.  Suniel murmured and brushed a hand across Bail's shoulder and in an instant the half-dragon was gone.</blockquote>
