By-the-by, has anyone else noticed a distinct absence of those editing buttons on the reply page? i.e, centre, color, etc...it's very hard to remember all those codes!

~Malic...Fire Child and Warrior~


Malic knew that she was only here for one purpose. She, like Anoma, was a bodyguard. Her strength was of no use in the magical-based capture of Sastrugen, as much as she would have liked it to be...she did hate that dragon...Almost as much as she hated his rider, Yxe. One day, she thought. One day, I will have my revenge. For now, however, she was satisfied with watching Sastrugen struggle under the dome of fire created by Sairi. She managed to tear her eyes away from his suffering and back to her task. Watching. For Yxe, or any other potential interferers. She turned her back on the struggle and scanned the frosty horizon. Nothing...yet. She tuned in to the words of her leader.
"So...where and how shall we move this one? We should hurry..before his siblings notice something's wrong." Malic turned back to the wonderful scene of a captured Sastrugen. He was bound tightly under a complex dome of fire magic, which was obviously causing him some pain. Good, she thought. Now to attend to the problem of getting him away from the cave...
"Can't you use some sort of dimension magic?" Piped up Anoma.
Malic thought about this and chuckled to herself. She didn't think that the Fire Children's magicks extended to such things.
"What about a helicopter?"
