"If we don't find my legionnaires within the month I swear to the lords!"
"Calm down Libertas! We'll find them I assure you." Blackdread said calmly, as Dragon Knight sat down frustrated in his seat. Leonidas had his two hands together as his old mind whirled for ideas and ways to get back Dragon Knight's forces. "If I may ask. Why did they go to Yggdrasil again?" A young brass Dragonborn asked, twirling his mace in his right hand. His friends were waiting awkwardly in the back of the meeting room, the rust coloured teifling warlock had lightning crackling across he forearm, the half orc bard was nervously plucking his instrument's strings, the half elf ranger was stringing up her bow and the male pirate was awkwardly playing a quiet but still evident sea song. Leonidas sighed before face planting into the table, much to the dismay of the other leaders in the room.
"Maybe we try searching for them again? I mean what's the worse that can happen?" The puma Fanus leader of Menagerie asked.
"Wasting valuable resources that could be used for the war effort, that's what Ghira." Pops replied, his grip around Frostmore tightening. "My people are waiting eagerly for the war to begin. What are we waiting for?"
"The people of my country are tried of war, after the Alzarez issue. Must we plunge ourselves into another war." The new queen of Fiore asked, hands politely in her lap.
"I don't think you realise this. But if the Shadow Knights win this war, the world will be at their mercy. We cannot allow that." Blackdread said calmly, slamming his open hand on the large round stone table.
"We can only hope that the legionnaires have the strength to pull through this. Wherever they are." Blackdread said, closing his eyes regretfully.

On the island of the dead. Steven's PoV

It was late afternoon. The rain had finally let up and sunlight streamed through the clouds. I lifted a beer bottle to my lips and sipped it, normally I would never think about drinking on the job however when you're stuck on a sh!|ho\€ like this, I make my own choices. I sat on one of the large boulders outside the gates. I was tempted to explore the outside, though I knew the dangers too well. I closed my eyes and though of yesterday's events, I had been pretty much been knocked out in a single hit. The wind started to whistle around my feet as a piece of parchment got slapped into my face. I opened my eyes and pulled the parchment away from my face and was about to scrunch it up until I looked at what was on it. Several lines and images had been written on it. A map? But what for? I ran back inside the village, shouting for Galbraith. Galbarith stood up straight after straightening Josh's katana, he looked over in my direction and I immediately rushed over to him. I handed him the paper.
"It's all in Gaelic. Can you read it?" I asked, he looked at me with annoyed eyes before looking at the parchment. He muttered out a few phrases in Gaelic and then reading it fully in English. "The old fates can tell all futures, love, family and death. Temple is not far, past the canyon and beyond the demons reach. I mean, I know where the canyon is and I think I may have saw a entrance to a temple a little way back. I can bring you guys there." Galbraith said, looking up at me. I nodded and patted his back. "People we're going on a road trip."

Several hours later.... 3rd person.
Galbraith landed on the rocky outcrop just as Gold and Dragon's teams made their way down the cliff. "This better be worth it. Cause I ain't climbing up the bloody mountain again." Gold commented as he pulled out a pebble that had got stuck in his boot. Dragon nodded with him as he caught a falling duffle bag and set it down. Gold helped Jade down who was struggling to walk down the rocky path, rewarding him with a kiss on his forehead. Gold smiled, kissing her on the nose.
"Jesus Christ. Get into a bloody bed ya lovebirds." Galbraith said as the jury of wolves got off his back. Gold blushed a light shade of red and Jade immediately looked down to her feet in embarrassment. Galbraith roared out in laughter as he transformed back into his human self. "You two look like two freaking kids who got caught stealing candy!" Galbraith laughed, bent double from his laughter. Drayken smile revealed several alligator like teeth as he to laughed with Galbraith. Gold held Jade's hand, a sign that he was getting nervous and stressed. "Okay. Okay. Cut it out! We got a job to do!" Dragon shouted, lighting a lantern with a lit match. He waved away several large spiderwebs, causing several spiders to fall on Galbraith who shouted in surprise. Gold pulled out a slightly burnt out torch from the holder above him and handed it to Damon, who promptly shoved it into his throat lighting it. Brazier lifted up a lightning flare, lighting about 50ft around him.
