"Uh....I...." The metal dragon stuttered in face of the stern earth dragon, scratching the back of his head as he tried to slowly back away. Terra was terra-fying when she was angry, he was just greatful that he could survive being crushed in the earth seeing as he had done it for so long. Still, the thought was a rather uncomfortable end to his previous estacy, "Y-you see...There was the hydra of lust and..he had some kind of aphro-ah...aphrodisiac and he...ah, it's not my fault and technically it wasn't really mating? I mean neither of us fully claimed the other...I-Er..think.." He finished off with a sheepish smile, trying to appear smaller before Terra when a pale silvery white claw enclosed around his neck and he found his back pressed against his brother's.

 "I shall be responsible for whatever punishment is dealt out to my brother and I shall see it fit that he no longer be such a hypocrite of others." The wind dragon said stoutly, monotonous voice somehow capable of being stern and draconian. Ferrum sighed, unsure who he should be more wary of. "Still..." Anemoli added, "Till this war is over, then we shall decide on a suitable punishment. For now let us focus on what is at hand, Terra, what can you make light of from this situation?" 

 [i]"That the king is insane..."[/i] A husky voice whispered lowly and Ferrum whipped around to see the..."Relin?"

 The white dragon stood tall, scales gleaming as if they had just been polished. Eyes the colour of liquid gold and wings full and still. There was not a single scratch on him, nor any hint to as what might've happened to him in the interval, but his expression was grim. Eyes deadset and serious, the aura around him radiated authority. He turned to look at the prisons of their companions, [i]"Regnum is gone now, leadership passes onto me. [/i]" He said softly, and not even Ferrum argued against it, "[i]Today, we kill the king.[/I]

 "Perhaps though, the hydras are not all vile, why would they have Ygdrassil here? Why bring up such a powerful being over the fallen?" Anemoli interjected, silenced by Relin's stare, [i]"Because....the king wishes to..restore this world, bring about peace and repent, at least, that's what he used to preach."[/i] "Then-" [i]"We stop him, because he can help the world all he wants, but you've seen how unstable he is. How he tried to 'help' before. He can do miracles, but it is only a matter of time before he destroys the whole world again."[/i]

 A silence hung over the crowd, it was a few moments before Anemoli affixed Relin with a stare again and mouthed, "Your children though?" [i]"Safe. Far away from this by now.[/i]" They all stared at him, wondered where the scared clueless child had gone, replace by this...warrior. With the same fire of Regnum's eyes, the same hardness. Then they turned their heads to look at where their enemie's sobs echoed loudly from within the castle. They could only wonder.

 Sleipnir pressed a hand over his nose and nodded in agreement, little puffs of white most leaving his body to try and purify the air around them, "Urgh...Can't we go back to our home? The one underground..." He asked softly. It was perhaps the best option they had even with it's depleted resources. At the very least, it was clean.

 "Where is this...home of yours?" Leo asked inbetween pants.
