Darz: *looking over a paper from a spy* I see. You may leave.
Spy: Yes, Master Darz.

The spy disappears right before his eyes, but Darz simply smirks and rereads the paper before him. Interesting. I never thought that automoton had such power.

Darz: Ha! Too bad Ryu proved to have recovered...
Giles: *walking up to Darz* What is that?
Darz: A note of some one's failure in sending such a massive army.
Giles: We have more information now.
Darz: Not what we need... Which of you was it, again, who wanted to fight my brother?
Giles: You know. You're just trying to talk me out of it again. I want him stronger than he's ever been!
Darz: It will happen, if you take my advice.
Giles: Then what would you advise?
Darz: Change tactics. The first outpost they arrive at should have those mages. Let them almost have the outpost before they attack. Make it apparent, however, that Ryu will want to be in his dragonoid form beforehand, however.
Giles: Hmm? I can do that easily enough.
Darz: Yes. Also, about Tsukin`asu... Ryu is at his weakest when enraged or veangefull. As it stands, he's mearly angry. You'd prefer to keep him that way if you want him at his best.

[color=royal blue]As Ryu walks back into the room he's sharing with his sister, he looks at her. He feels sleep crawl over him for the first time in the past few nights. He looks at Aphra in astonishment as her finger is "doodling" in the air forming the Rune of Sleep. Ryu cannot help it as he collapses in sleep.[/color]
