6 Months had passed since the disaster that was Charlotte's death, Tom still upset, managed to finish his grieving and sought after finding the missing Bazelgeuse, with both Deviljho and Rathian's help, the most likely place Bazel will go, would be the Wildspire Waste.

Tom: "It's been a hell of a long time, but i still get freaked out at how i can understand you guys."

Deviljho: "Well I presume its because of the fact you were once an Elder Dragon, so, yeah..."

Tom: "I guess. You absolutely sure Bazelgeuse will be at Wildspire Rathian?"

Tom said as Rathian scouted the area, the group closing in on Wildspire Waste.

Rathian: "Where else would he go?"

Tom sighed, suddenly a huge gust of wind and sand swept him off his feet and blinded Rathian and Deviljho.

Tom: "What the hell?!"

Rathian: "I think its a sandstorm!"

Deviljho: "No, wait. Whats that sound?"

A screeching roar that sounded like Bazelgeuse's formed within the storm, a blinding light of blue and red shined into the groups eyes.

Tom: "Is that, Bazelgeuse?"

The glitterball figure soon fled somewhere else as soon as a song was heard.

Rathian: "What is that?"

Deviljho: "I have no idea..."

Tom: "It's gorgeous...Look! It was Bazelgeuse, he's headed in the direction of that sound!"

Tom pointed, Bazel looked a little different though, his scale sacks were glowing and he seemed a lot more aggressive than before.

Tom: "Should we follow it?"

Rathian: "We could do, but that doesn't seem like the Bazel we used to know."

Deviljho: "Yeah, he seems a lot different, more aggressive, he didn't even know it was us?"

Tom: "Maybe we should check it out though? We could find an Elder Dragon and see what they say?"

Rathian: "Talking to Elder Dragons isn't the safest, especially as now you're no longer Nergigante, to them you could be a hunter and they may try to kill you, unless there's an Elder Dragon out there that knows who you are?"

Tom: "Hmm, I think there is? Kushala Daora?"

Deviljho: "Yeah! I remember him from when we camped out in the Elders Recess."

Rathian: "Well then its worth a shot, get on, Deviljho you stay here we wont be long."

Tom jumped on the back of Rathian and headed for the Elders Recess, Deviljho seemed upset at the fact he wasn't aloud to go with them, he decided to wander around the Ancient Forest for a while before spotting something unusual.

Deviljho: "Huh..."

Jho tilted his head as he sniffed the white fluffy stuff on the ground.

Deviljho: "Is this snow?"

He stood up trying to figure out where this had come from, yet again the song that captivated Bazelguese ringed throughout Jho's ears and he soon followed in it's direction.

Back in the Elders Recess Rathian dropped Tom off exactly at Kushala.

Kushala: "What do you want?"

He snarled not remembering who Tom and Rathian were.

Tom: "It's me, Nergigante?"

Kushala: "Ah yes, Nergigante, Charlotte's mate right?"

Tom: "Well, i used to be, she died some months ago..."

Kushala: "Oh, im dreadfully sorry about that, she was an amazing person to us all."

He bowed his head in grief, not knowing that Charlotte had passed.

Kushala: "Do the other Elder Dragons know?"

Tom: "Im not sure, anyway i came here to ask you something."

Kushala: "What?"

Tom: "Have you been hearing this, song lately?"

Kushala: "Why yes, it's been echoing throughout the Recess for quite some time now, no one is bothered by it, although i haven't seen Teostra or Lunastra in a while."

Tom: "Right noted, do you have any other information?"

Kushala: "Not really, where about's does the song come from?"

Tom: "Across the sea, i believe there's another island."

Tom explains showing Kushala a map of the island.

Tom: "I'm certain its across from the Ancient Forest, that was the direction Bazelgeuse went in."

He turned looking at Rathian to confirm his idea, she stood up and looked at Kushala, she whispered something to him that Tom couldn't hear. Kushala had a shocked look on his face and soon flew off to somewhere else.

Tom: "What was that about? I needed him!"

Rathian: "No you didn't, i know exactly where that song is coming from, and we made a big mistake leaving Deviljho unattended."

Tom: "Why?"

Rathian: "Come on!"

She said as she hurriedly grabbed Tom and rushed back to the Ancient Forest. They soon got back and Jho was no where to be seen.

Rathian: "Oh god."

Tom: "What, tell me what's happening?"

Rathian: "I have a hunch but i'm not sure if it's true yet, you got winter clothes?"

Tom: "Yeah, why do you think im wearing all this?"

Rathian: "Well good because you're gonna need it, i know where that sound is coming from but its gonna be a pain getting there."

Tom: "Rathian please just tell me, why?"

Rathian: "I think Lagiacrus is on that Island, and he could have Charlotte with him she might very well be alive."

Tom: "Don't say that, she died....."

Rathian: "I have an issue though, this place is very cold, colder than the coral highlands, it will be very hard for me to survive without a good food source and food is scarce on that island, its not inhabited by many monsters, which is probably why Lagiacrus went there, but he too is a cold blooded monster he wont survive without a food source."

Tom: "Jesus, well we best get going then."

Tom and Rathian soon headed off on their journey to the cold wasteland, it will take them hours before they reach the destination, but could what Rathian be saying true? Is Lagiacrus really on that Island with Charlotte? And who is the culprit of the song driving monsters away?
