Nestled at the foot of a hill, deep in the Sacean plains, a cave had been dug into the hillside. Ages had past since any human had been inside the cavern, the entire area seemed eerie, beyond human comprehension. Empty grasslands and hills stretched out in every direction, and you would have to know where the cave was to find it.
This, was the destination of Alexia, Sokka, Dray'Gon, and Brad.

"Wow this place, it surges with power, great power" Brad shuddered, this was amasing and scary too. "Could this be the hiding place of Miurgre?" Brad asked, a legendary weapon would contain a lot of power, so maybe that was it, although it could be something different all together.

Sokka looked around. "Hmm, all I know is that we're the first people to be here in a long, long time." He said. This might not be a good thing. I heard of stories about warriors from the Scouring whose souls have been trapped on Elibe to guard sacred relics." He added. He thought he sounded more like a scholar than a warrior, but he wanted eveyonr to be on thier guard.

OoC: By the way, remember that it took us a few days to get here.
Alexia shifted on her saddle, taking the words of her two companions to heart. "Well... I'm not sure what's here, exactly..." she admitted, "but it has to be something powerful, why else would it drag us all the way out here?" Sokka's warning rang through her head, and she wanted to be careful. She started forward, slowly, waiting for something to pop out.

"Maybe it's not Miurgre, Why would a mystical bow cry out to a group that can not wield bows? When in Ertruia I studied the scouring and what happened before that, perhaps this cave wields something from before the scouring from times when humans and dragons co-exsisted peacfully, something like that would surely have to be powerful" Brad remebered that the time before the scouring was when several weapons were tried out and several forms of magic, one of the most notable unsuccsful weapons would be the mace and for magic there was wind, although a few wind spells were still used by mages today.

"Maybe your right Brad." Sokka said. For all we know, this thing could be from the creation of Elibe itself." He added. He lloked deeper into the cave. "Lets go." He said, walking forewards.

Brad was thrilled at the thought of this, I mean how many people could honestly say that they had been to this place, Brad travelled through the cave silently with his new companions

The cave itself seemed ancient, as though it had been formed from the creation of Elibe, as Sokka guessed. For some odd reason, Alexia could see perfectly inside the cave. It was almost as if someone had lit torches, anticipating her arrival. The group traveled deeper into the cave, and seemed to step further back in time. Finally, they arrived at an impressive chamber. It dwarfed all of them, and could easily hold Dray'Gon in his fully transformed state. At the end of the cavern, an Old woman stood, dressed in dark robes.

The woman's eyes opened as Alexia cautiously approached her. "So, I see you followed the voice," the woman spoke, her voice sounding as old as the cave. Alexia startled a little, but didn't let it affect her too much. It made sense for someone on this end to know about the voice. "Yes, yes I have." The old woman looked over the traveling companions. "It seems as though you chose your companions wisely... one of Sacae's own, a renowned scholar, and... I do believe one of the Dragon race... quite a good representation," the woman cackled, throwing her head back. Alexia glanced over at her companions, sure they were just as uneasy as she was.
OoC: love what you've got in your sig, Brad. That's awesome.

"excuse me, but who are you?" Sokka said. Was this woman as lod as the cave itself? has she been waiting all this time until someone followed her voice? Sokka hoped these things would reveal themselves in the coming hours, or even minutes.
OoC: thats sick! wicked awesome! I made some a while ago, here it is!

"She is the great power I have been sensing emitting from the plains, she must be the one that drove me away from Nabata" It was all starting to make sense. Her face was mainly clouded in robes but the golden glow of her eyes and silver strands of hair could be seen. "Madame, are you from a time before the scouring?" Brad asked her.
OoC: Thanks, Sokka do you remember the site because I forgot it and I wanna fix some stuff up.

The old woman chuckled to herself, amused by the curiosity if her new guests. "What I am and who I am are not important to you. Simply know that I have lived a long time, and have learned much in that time," you could see the ghost of a smile appearing under her thick cloak. "You are here, no doubt, to fetch the Falcatta?" alexia shifted, and glanced around, as though unsure how to answer. "Don't worry, I'm sure that's what you're here for." the old woman continued, "now, know this, you must earn the right to carry that blade."
OoC: dang it, I"m tryin' to stall so Dray'Gon can come back. 'sides, we'll want his help...

Falcatta? I've never heard of that, milady." Sokka said to the old woman. "How, what it?" He asked. He wondered if it was some kind of trick. But, he was ready to prove himself if he needed to. "Brad, you cant use swords, can you?' Sokka asked. It was a stupid question, he knew that shamans couldnt. But her wanted to break the silence.
OoC: fe-planet.net. then spriters resorce, then online tools, then statsheet

"No, I think I may have heard Falcatta in my studies back in Ertruia, the hermit of the mountain Niime told me about the legendary blade that was forged along with the continent, but it's location and exact amount of power have remained a mystery for thousands of years" Brad said everything he knew of the blade. "Please madam, can you just answer one question for me? Are you Falcatta?" Brad asked, magical items often took the shape of humans as to fool the people trying to find them.

The old woman chuckled, obviously amused by their guesses. Alexia was surprised. A sword? Was that what they came for? She could use swords... but not as well as some people. Maybe, Sokka?
"I don't know if I am the blade or not. It has been so long... I see the blade true user is not here... You!" she pointed to Sokka. "Can you bear a heavy burden? Holding such power, only to give it away when the time comes?"
