Re: Dragon Cave
Aethen quickly turns to Vertium as he speaks. Listening, he nods at what the wizard says. Aethen turns so that his eyes are on the structure, but he begins to back away, crossing paths with the kneeling Adryn. Placing a hand on the druid's shoulder, he applies gentle pressure to indicate that he wants Adryn to back away as well.
"Mage, considering what was spoken of by our teacher, is it not beyond the realm of possibility that the druids are being twisted to power this structure?" Aethen says over his shoulder. Thinking for a moment, he continued. "The staff planted there looks like a simple staff that any of our order would carry. Think of the symbolic nature of it, life being tainted by death."
Were more time to pass, Aethen would have no reason to doubt the mage's words and condemn this place to a destructive burial. No response from the illusive voice to either confirm or deny his words would cast even more doubt on his position. It was just something in the voice....
