Deruga and Terzotz watched the chaos of the world tree from the Rift. It did not affect them, for the although the Rift was entwined with the world, it very much was not a part of it. Deruga thought the comparison of a binding spell once, but Dirka quickly showed the major flaw in that. The complexity of the Rift always amazed him. It's dark purple skies, yet plants growing from the light of fire and other plants luminescence. Terzotz pointed out that Azhriel had joined this fight with a claw to the scrying pool. Deruga looked and was not comfortable in this. If Azhriel got turned into a plant too, then the souls of the dead were left unattended. [color=0054a6]"The band of the gods keeps getting closer together, and not in a good way. We need to assist them."[/color] Terzotz looked at the magus as if he had grown sanity. [color=808080]"Did someone find a cure for insanity and give it to you? Nothing effects the damned thing! Unless possibly..."[/color] the black dragon stopped there, thinking it preposterous. Deruga took a Nimera Tiger claw and poked the dragon with it. [color=808080]"By the lady's eyeball! That hurt! Fine I'll spill! The tree draws off a Divine cord, right? Divine cords have an energy limit even ones this new. But that tactic is not viable because it would change anything to a motionless plant before it runs out. But what is stronger than a divine cord? Another new spire one! So, wake up one of them, and they could easily reverse the damage and keep it like that long enough for a god to claim the cord. Simple!"[/color]
	Deruga looked at Terzotz like he had lost his last marble. [color=0054a6]"Are you suggesting we wake up a spire? Do you know how stupid that sounds? The're more likely to vaporize us than help us. Besides, we don't even know where they are!"[/color] The dragon looked around sheepishly. Deruga now knew what the dragon was thinking about. [color=0054a6]"No, we're not doing it. That's no longer madness or insanity. That's idiocy."[/color] The dragon gave him puppy eyes, which was more scary than cute. Deruga shook his head, adamant in his decision. [color=808080]"Don't most males that have a mate tend to try to impress them? If so your doing a poor job"[/color] Deruga got wide eyed.
