Edge kissed Sleipnir's cheek as he pulled him up into his arms alongside Skylark. He smiled as he pulled away and looked around. The others were ready and eager to leave this hell and for back to their castle. The king ran a hand through his son's hair, soothing him. "Of course." The he began to tear up. "I... I thought I could be strong enough to leave you two, but I'm not. You're coming with me." Edge replied softly. 

With that, Skylark decided he would need to condition his Daddy to do exactly as he wanted. His eye's powers were quite strong. Perhaps he could use it on the other dragons, as well. That would be fun! 

Finally, Edge beckoned for everyone to call out the wings as he did the same. Edge despised his dragon form, but he needed his wings... four black, ornate wings, in fact. They all worked at different speeds and soon Edge was off the ground, clutching his kids tightly. 

In a while, they arrived at the castle. It was new and exciting to Skylark, who had never seen anything of the sort. It was giant, and made of so e glassy black substance. As he dealt Daddy land on what appeared to be a balcony along with the other hydra, he realized how fancy it really was. Daddy raised a single hand, and the clouds above the castle seemed to break. He watched in awe. 

With a grunt, the clouds parted all the way to reveal greyish morning sunlight. Edge needed the sun. He led the others into the dining room, where the furniture was Victorian and sat down at his seat, the tallest and at the head of the table, "All right, comrades. Do we have a plan?''

Meanwhile, Terra and Silva were following the rest of the Elders. They were right in the middle, and prepared for action!Regnum and Ferrum had actually met the king of the hydra before everyone realized he was crazy. Terra, however, had not. Brushing a stray hand of hair from her face, the female dragon took a deep breath. Fighting she could do, but knowing Relin, one of her allies was in kahootz with a hydra made her uneasy. 

Sneaking up behind him, she decided to speak. "Relin." She said softly. "Hydras are not capable of love. I would hate to see you hurt so by one, you realize. Whatever you think you havem , you 'love' is just a trick."
