[MarshiestMallow]

Nyx checked on Larek, before taking out one of her daggers. She threw it with all her might at the thing, wanting to see what would happen, if anything

[Aristocles]

The dagger bounced off, landing on the floor next to Nyx. It was still hot from contact with whatever energies powered the crystal. Behind Nyx, there was a sardonic laugh. A green-robed dracon male marched into view. "Don't bother, girl. It would be a shame to spoil the fun."

[MarshiestMallow]

Nyx had another dagger in hand, and knowing it was probably fuitle, threw it at the green robed dracon, "I don't see whats fun about trying to murder a whole town!" She said angrily

[Aristocles]

The dagger hit the robed dracon and cut him. It wasn't a deep wound, but he clearly wasn't invulnerable. Roaring in anger, he began to charge up some magic, green lightning arcing down his left arm.

"You should know better than to interfere with the sport of the archmage Aldus!"

Larek tried to get up, but he was still stunned on the floor. He began to suspect what the deal was with this guy, but all he muttered was "How corny can you get?" A moment later, he looked up and saw Aldus charging a spell. "Nyx! Fight back! You can take him!"

[MarshiestMallow]

"And you should know better than to murder and attack a whole town! You've caused a friend to hurt himself, and threaten me, and mine!" Nyx shouted, throwing a knife this time merely to distract the dracon as he charged the spell. she got in closer, two daggers suddenly in her hands, she lunged, to slash with one, defend with another

"I won't let you harm anyone else!"

[Aristocles]

The mage growled and fired some of the green lightning, but it missed. Larek's hunch about him was right. Although he was still stunned on the ground, he could still speak.

"He's a sorcerer! One of those dilettantes! My mother told me about them! They don't know how trained mage acts, but they still have power, even without experience- agh!" Larek was hit by some of that lightning, hurt a bit more, but still in good enough shape. "Ow..."

Nyx's blades cut the sorcerer, causing him to leap back in pain and surprise.

[MarshiestMallow]

"You can die!" Nyx said as she stalked closer, "you aren't immortal!" She slashed out again, keeping her footing, using her tail and keeping her balance perfectly "stop this!"

[Aristocles]

The mage growled in pain. "And who are you to tell me that I can't use my birthright for some amus-"

"Just shut up already!" Larek roared, getting up.

Realizing that his magic wasn't going to do it, the mage took out a green vial. "We'll meet again!" he threw the vial on the ground, and it exploded into a burst of green mist. When the smoke cleared, he was still standing there, still injured, and in no way changed.

"That should have worked..." Aldus mumbled. He didn't have long to ponder about it, as Nyx's attacks started to connect. "Gah! Alright! Fine. I'll stop the lights, but I'll explain nothing!"

"I have it figured out already..." Larek said.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Amusement? Is that what you were going to say? What is amusing about death? Stop it now" Nyx didn't step back, stayed where she was, daggers in hand, at the ready

[Aristocles]

Aldus nodded and ran over to the gem. Using a spell to deactivate it, he lifted it out of its holster. "I don't know who you are, but you'll regret crossing Aldus, son of-"

"I'm Larek, son of Adykon" he replied. Aldus looked quite scared at that.

"You're just a charlatan, a wannabe. Yet another rich boy born with magic but without a day's hard work behind you in your life!" Larek spat. "Was that gem your father's? You sure didn't make it!"

Aldus nodded, very afraid now. "If you let me go I promise not to-"

"Destroy the gem and you get to live" Larek replied. Aldus turned almost pale, an odd sight for a dracon. He threw the gem down the side of the cave, down the hill, where it shattered into pieces. "That gem was taken by my grandfather from another dimension, you know. That- that's where those lights came from. I don't know how it works, just that it does that light thing..."

[MarshiestMallow]

"You shouldn't be playing with things you have no understanding off! Go and do something good with your life! Maybe you can redeem yourself!" Nyx said, watching as she collected up her daggers and knives.

[Aristocles]

Aldus sighed. "I'm just gonna leave real fast..." he concentrated and cast a teleportation spell, disappearing with a loud *Shwing*

Larek smiled and then sat down, panting. "I'm okay... just a bit drained..."

[MarshiestMallow]

Nyx relaxed and turned to Larek, "are you sure?" She asked

[Aristocles]

"I... think so" Larek said. "I'm feeling kinda sore, but I've felt worse before." He slowly got up and pulled out the gate stone. "We should get back to the town, and find Toby and Lixia. Nyx, could you use the stone this time?" He gave it to her and held onto her hand.

[MarshiestMallow]

Nyx nodded, taking the gate stone, and visualizing where Toby and Lixia were.

[Aristocles]

They teleported back to the town of Moonstone, which was now full of craters. Toby was still there, still on the ground. Lixia had landed and was trying to catch her breath. Larek waved to her. "We got rid of him. We'll explain more later. Toby, Lixia can you fly?"

The red dragon nodded. "Yeah, but not for long. I can make it back to my cave, though." Lixia nodded too.

[MarshiestMallow]

Nyx looked about the town "what about the people?"

[Aristocles]

"We can worry about them later, but I think most of them lived" Lixia said. "Now, I just want to get Toby back home. Please, climb on my back again and we'll fly to his cave." Larek nodded and limped over to Lixia and, with difficulty, climbed on.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Are you sure?" Nyx asked "you've done so much, aren't you exhausted?"

[Aristocles]

"I can get you back to the cave, but not much else" Lixia said.

"Wait... no need" Larek replied, getting off. "We can just use the gate stone while the two of you catch up."

The stratodrake nodded at that. "Alright. You do that.'

Larek turned to his wife and once more took her hand. "Nyx, I think you know what to do with the stone."
