Volteer truly hoped that the message was able to be relayed to this part of the Realms' leaders. Of course, when you have to cross an entire ocean, and then some, it made sense why the other Sages were not fully confident their letter had made it to them, hell, Volteer isn't even sure. But, after spending a few minutes exploring the wide expanse that was the Monastery.

That was until he found castle interior inside of caverns and the like! How intriguing, they mused to themselves, the radiance of his electric affinity bouncing off of his heart and his scepter, Volteer took a moment to compose himself, before eventually flying up to the level of the cavern entrance, and curiously looking inside, he didn't hear any commotion, yet, but seeing the cavern expand into walkways and various rooms, it excited him to no bounds!

Barely able to keep in his excitement, Volteer took his time exploring the area, the countless libraries, books scattered about in studies, the concentrate of magic at its purest point, not to be confused with the affinity of Arcane magic, but this was a completely different form of magic, separate from the affinity itself. And then he began to hear commotion coming from the end of the hall, and...

There they were, standing at the beginning of the clearing to stare at Cosmos.

Nick looks over to Crash, "Oh uh...for fun?" He thought about it, shrugging a bit. "Mostly just tricking people although it's more fun going undercover when you're working as a cop. I find it hilarious to see the other's expression when they find out they've been caught." He explained, letting out a playful chuckle. "How about ya?"

{♚}—; Crash smiled happily and waved back at Chief Bogo before following along behind Nick. He wasn’t used to seeing a police station since back home, he was usually the one doing all the work against the likes of Cortex and anyone causing trouble.

As he followed after him, he couldn’t help but look around and explore his surroundings with great curiosity. The marsupial made his way beside Nick and waved his arms and pointed to the windows, trying to ask what he liked to do for fun. “Ba fuhn?”

@hxuse-of-muses continued from X:

The dragon in question appeared to be young. Not incredibly young, but it was clear that he was not fully grown. Any attempt to fly out of here and back home wasn't going to take him far, and the last thing he wanted was to tire out over the ocean and crash into the water.

His only option really was going to be to wait. When the balloon didn't show up the Artisans would no doubt worry and start looking for him. But that could take a while, considering they would have to find out about the storm and the way the balloon ended up blowing. No he would be on his own for now. The land around him made him nervous. As if a foreboding feeling was surrounding it, like he was being watched by someone or something. He wanted to find a spot to rest, a spot not in the open. Gathering up the remains of the balloon and putting it in the basket, he would push what remained of it into one of the large open caverns, just so he wouldn't be out in the open. Perhaps he could fashion the remains into a tent of some kind.

@hxuse-of-muses for Chomper!

The magician groaned as he woke up, the world felt like it was spinning as he looked around, taking note of his surroundings as he seemed to be on a island.

He slowly got up before adjusting his hat, venturing forth as he picked up on some growls and such, causing him to jump slightly as he kept his wariness up.

[pcrplevenom]

@hxuse-of-muses ; Smaug

Soldan remained oddly calm, around this large dragon. His hoard of treasure was impressively built, and getting to know Smaug was interesting. Laying across on a large broken pillar in partial beast form, the long tail end taking over the legs and inverted pupil colors instead of looking normal. Seemingly comfortable, for the time being at least.

A quiet, soft sigh escaped the smaller Nether. A feeling of relief quickly washing over her when the stranger didn't try and pressure her for any answers or explanations. It was a good change from how people usually treated her. "Good. That's... good." She mumbled for herself before once again falling into complete silence.

After having been forced to deal with her own kind more than once, Vendra had learned pretty quickly that the best way to deal with them was just to... end them. The authorities couldn't do anything to contain them since the monsters always found a way to escape whatever prison they've been placed in, with the most common one being getting help from others of its own kind.

So, yeah, there was only one thing she could think of saying, and it didn't make her feel good. "I... know I'm probably gonna sound horrible for suggesting this, but I think we should... get rid of him. And it's not just because of what he's capable of, the destruction he can create all on his own, but also because he might not be alone the next time I see him. I can handle one of them on my own, but two? Well, I'd be lucky to make it out alive. The things they can do when working together... you won't know what hit you until it's too late."

@nether-twins

{♚}—; As the dragon looked around the area, hidden from view right outside a large city brimming with a lot of advanced technology by the look of it. He peered in one of his books that had some of his observations and certain spells inside some of which were more complicated thinking about looking further into the place. Sometimes he found interest in exploring other lands, he knew Spyro found interest in that sort of thing as well though it was certainly easier for him to navigate with his smaller stature.

Where as someone like him or many of the other dragons, due to their much larger size without a disguise of sorts likely through magic then it would be much easier to spot someone like him unless he didn’t mind being seen. In this case, it wasn’t so much a problem unless there was ever any reason to be concerned.

Though while he was observing he thought he heard a commotion and so he made his way closer to see what was going on down there.

"?" Upon setting foot on the entryway to the Bonnie Bowl, Riff stopped at the bot suddenly shutting down, kneeling down to check if it was out of energy or something in it's system malfunctioned, seeing nothing wrong.

Either something supernatural forced the shutdown, or someone may have hacked into the bot to stop it when entering Bonnie Bowl.

She didn't want to leave the inactive bot there, but had no choice but to continue in her investigation... It was leading her here for a reason.

“Now your wings requires the some kind of magic or it comes in styled form?” Gizmo the bat ask Lateef, flying around him to look at his wings to study as he’s professor after all.

(🍹): Unique he aforementioned? Foot stomping while his goatee beard being stroke by curious creature, he himself thought this place is just big and dark he have endured for years, but it’s better to just play along with visitor’s view, “Ya could say that. Heheheh, I think the moles agree with ya as they do know how to live in here with cozy breeze that they would live as citizens!”

Proving his point, he holds a mole that actually wears pajamas for its nap time this time an hour. Randomly toss it away after a mole squeaks at him for disturbed it’s sleep, he’s more focusing on packing his things with suitcase he have under his small and messy bed so he’ll be ready to assist him to find the ancient treasure, but he’s stop himself when his requests are questioned so he proudly pull out his paper to remind himself what to say about treasure.

“Goin’ to be long and somewhat difficult chronicle, so hold your soup! Ahem, Hm. The ancient artifact lies beyond where huge tunnels let any people who haven’t visit or lived in underground before, but ya shall beware, mi good friend. It have great deal of dangerous traps that could prevent anyone from enter the doors of treasury! Spiky walls, carnivorous plants, and the huge rolling rock!! Last part is bit of cliche, but roll with it. Get it? Heh heh? Anyway, once anyone made it, they shall open with potential magic before having themselves the pile of loot to gather and one variable chest have great magic treasure inside! Now that ya know, yer heart desires (and map) will lead you ahead to where treasures lies! Any questions?”

(🍹): “Ancient magic artifact, ya say? Is it famous from yer place, ‘cuz it’s thing that people are really thrilled to find it.” Lognei’s offering him the dish he made and it’s hot soup.

Reading the full contents of the message sort of put Ragnar at a crossroads of sorts. For one, the message doesn't look malicious now that the full thing was there for the three of them to read, but, at the same time, his worst fears were made a reality--it was another one of them who did this, but even then--whoever did this has remorse and immense guilt, and it nods to someone behind even their own actions. There's a culprit and a true culprit at the same time--two, not one.

What hurt, however, was in the end, Halvor's mercy to not expose who was the culprit in the first place, but, they were never a violent-minded being, Halvor was a bit timid and introverted, busying themselves with their profession instead of being with everyone else. And then it made sense, Halvor was never in a mentally sound state, and whether or not whoever sent this knew was.. unknown at the current state of events.

Ragnar simply sighed.

[ This complications things even further. They speak as if they themselves are manipulated by an outside force--Blackmail, perhaps... ]

The end of the note sounds like if they didn't do this to Halvor, the Artisan's leader would be put into grave danger, or at least if they disobeyed whatever they were told. This truly complicates Ragnar's overall feelings about the situation.

While it was messed up for the betrayal to even happen in the first place, if they were being taunted with a fate worse than death if they didn't go out with it...? Ragnar looks over to Titan, trying to read their expression to any form of an answer, and unfortunately, he could read Cosmos' expression. Like they had an idea of who it could've been already.

[ I have an sickeningly odd feeling the two of you already know. ]

Bravad would follow closely behind Cosmos as he guided him along. Taking a second to look around the passageway that led through the mountain as he did so. It reminded him of the path leading to the balloon landing of the artisan lands, though this path was much more open then that one it looked like.

“I have to admit, the idea of magic sounded really interesting to me. The thought of being able to cast some sounds like it would be really fun to try and learn it.” Bravad would respond with a smile. “Really, I wouldn’t mind learning from all the realms, provided I get the opportunity to learn from them. I’m just very curious right now to see what the magic crafters are like in person. I’ve only read and heard about you all in the books we keep.”

It really didn’t surprise the young dragon the idea of Spyro himself showing interest in the magic crafters. Magic usually was something that would pique interest, especially from those who didn’t usually make use of it.

This world was... strange, for a lack of a better word. It felt mystical and magical, filled to the brim with arcane energies all around him. The faint smell of water and potions filled his nose with each short breath he took, the Witcher’s eyes focusing in on his surroundings as he just wandered about, taking in the scenery, even crouching down next to a nearby pond to scoop up the water and have a sip of it.

“Hmf...” he’d mutter under his breath, thinking to himself. “Oddly sweet... but it has magical properties. Rejuvenating, almost. Just what kinda world is this...” however, his senses soon alerted him of a nearby presence, and as his first instinct in an unknown world was to defend himself he’d quickly reach for one of the two swords on his back, clutching the hilt of his silver blade as he’d pull it partially out of its scabbard, his other hand stretched out before him, the Sign of Quen glowing faintly upon the palm of his gloved hand.

-- But upon spotting the odd dragon-like creature before him, he’d halt himself as he’d just stare at the dragon as it approached him, still keeping his defensive stance. “I’m not here to cause trouble if you are. But I will not hesitate to strike you if I have to.” A warning.

Three heads, one body. Soldan tried to piece this together, but her results ended up as a blank. Sitting up in a tall tree as usual, a scowl stayed on her face until relaxing. They were all interesting! She had no fear, yet curiousity was high on the list. A quiet hum escaped, shoulders slacked down and legs swinging idly.

(🍹): The snake kid just gone through the mysterious portal when he’s trying to get the pages of magical music book back when the strong wind blows them away from snake’s grasp, prompting himself to get it back or his work would be undone by time he goes to musical theater. Made it through, he’s somehow landed on the platform where he’s been able not to get himself in water since he can’t swim, “Um… where am I?… exactly?” Answer to that, Dragon Realms.
