Her eyes closed a moment. "Serrion I consider that every single moment of every day. Death has become a prominent part of my life to the point where I cannot sleep or eat without being haunted. Do you not think I care for the lives of those who follow me and would die to protect mine? Or the noble dragons of your clan? Or the Moon Dragons? The point is yes. I do." She opened them and met his eyes once more. "However, I stand by my decision." She added in a mental message privately, ~A debt owed by one's enemy is priceless. I protect him now he will owe me greatly later. I could use that to protect lives with an objection if he develops plans for more murder.~

~Why do you protect him when all these deaths can be avenged by killing him, and future deaths prevented.~ He growled in her mind.

~...It is hard to explain.~ she began. ~Did you ever consider what he and I were before this? Serrion we grew up together. He was my best friend and the only one who could rival my strength and power. How could I ever kill something so close to me? Or something I know I cannot beat because we're so equal?~

"You fight him for years, and when you finally have the chance to strike, you refuse to land the killing blow." Crimson took over entirely just than, his face a mix of a smirk and a snarl.

"If you will damn me for a choice I have made then certainly you are not wise, Crimson," Ebony replied. She kept her voice calm and without malice though she had to fight her own mind to keep her tail from lashing around. "I will not strike a blow I know I cannot manage. You know my weakness and strengths from years past. Surely this one will make sense to you."

"Not taking the right chance to strike will kill you. Believe me." He laughed, his eyes flared brighter and they cooled down to gold. "My respect is the only reason why I'm not going to attack Gaulroach right here and now..." Serrion growled lowly.

Ebony nodded. "May this not put an unfortunate dent in your respect then as it will cloud your vision if you allow it. One can't do a thing without considering every angle and you cannot do that without sight." Kill me will it? Well then I wait for my death, Crimson... she thought to herself.

Serrion glanced only a moment at Sheakria, if Gaulroach was here it was of no surprise she was as well. Then he looked back at Ebony. "This has done more than dent it, I cannot fight alongside you if I know in the future when I need you the most to help me in my war, that you will only stand back and watch."

Ebony nodded. "I understand... though I assure I will not simply stand back and watch if there is something I must do."
Without lifting her eyes or even looking at him, Sheakria spoke to Serrion. ~I hope you do not think too badly of me for feeling the need to return.~

~I know where your allegience lies Sheakria, it was Ebony I wasn't expecting such a thing from.~ Serrion glanced away from Ebony to Gaulroach, who was still just regarding the red scaled cooly, not even a smirk.

~I believe you owe her more credit than you are giving her, Serrion. I know you hate Gaulroach but do you hate me just because I follow him? Some of his followers are like myself. What about Reroku? She was Fury's friend and despite how she lives life, she is still the same soft and sweet dragoness. The point is that if Ebony had not allowed us shelter all of us would be dead or far far worse. Those who did not escape Daigmar are now more horrible than you could imagine.~ Sheakria said. ~Besides... if we knew their relationship we may understand. She will not kill him now. It would be too easy. She will wait until there is a battle and a chance to strike with honor. To do so now would not fit Ebony and would make her look like something she is not.~

Serrion had to somewhat agree with Sheakria... She had a point. He glanced at Ebony. "I assume you already know why I've come here?"

Ebony tilted her head slightly. "Truthfully only sort of. I know of the battle that took place between you, your friends, and the dragon Rafael...if you can even call him a dragon. I also know of a massive amount of energy released during said battle. I have been preoccupied with my own issues, though, so I must request you clarify the reason for your visit."

"Serrion wishes for you to rejuvenate the forests around the mountain." Gaulroach answered for Serrion. "In his own fight against the Lich Dragon, a large portion was set on fire."

"This is not an issue at all," Ebony nodded. "I'm skilled enough in magic involving such things to restore it for you." ~Consider it a peace offering if you must to prove I am not betraying you.~ she added.
