"There's fifteen minutes until the end of his break, and hanging from their hind legs and tail, Eridani scribbles away in a notebook- er, journal? Sketchbook? Everything is so jumbled and varied that the contents couldn't possibly be deciphered by anyone but Eridani; or a cryptologist. But it's not as if only the Spiral knows what's written, drawn, or planned, because he absolutely revels in any opportunity to explain it to anyone who asks. It's more of an auditory explanation than a visual one, given the circumstances, though most friends don't mind.

"After all, through all the incomprehensible writing and curious choices in posture, there is something to be said about Eridani; he's a genius.

"As jokingly as friends might call him a "visionary," they can't really deny that the Spiral's work is certainly admirable enough to earn that title. With an acute understanding of both machinery and AI, backed up by pure compassion, Eridani is a wonder to hear enthuse about his projects. He swears that, if he only had all the time and money in the world, he could make every one of his dreams a reality. But at the moment, he can't slip up; materials can't be wasted, projects can't be scrapped, and time is hard to come by. Eridani will happily take new assignments, but admits that his schedule is getting tight. Still, he stays optimistic, and know that, with some careful planning, he'll have enough time for himself soon."

When Eridani had first joined Clan Àidear, all he could talk about was his work: All those lovely machines, technology and his robots. One couldn't mention it and the Spiral - very excided to share his passion - would keep on sharing everything from the newest to the oldest project. So it's actually a good thing that Eri is ver social and gets along well with everybody in his new windy family. They love his excentrical ways. This dragons biggest dream was to create a robot with actuall emotions.

DAY 1

~ The agent enters a nondescript lair in the center of the city. "Prompt as usual" said the unassuming figure behind the desk. "Have you seen this before?"

The figure pushes an advertisement torn from a news parchment. It reads, "WANTED: Interns looking for adventure and scientific achievement. No experience needed. Training will be provided. Free room and board for a 6 month apprenticeship. Job placement guaranteed!"

In smaller print, is an address for a local hiring agency that represents several laboratories that operate in Lightning territory.

The agent nods.

The figure looks sharply at the agent, "Your mission is to discover why those who answer this ad are never heard from again. We believe this ad is part of a larger event occurring in the Shifting Expanse and we want you to find out what is actually happening out there." ~
(x)
He wasn’t thinking about becoming an agent that night. All he ever wanted was to do a good job, take his engineering experiments to a new level and fulfill his dreams to create a robot with actual emotions. Well, it wasn’t going well. The young dragon’s heart pounded – and it wasn’t from flying too fast. Tonight was a test. And surely not the last one he’d ever have to go through. They wanted prove they hadn’t made a mistake in taking him on: The eccentrically ‘visionary’ with an acute understanding of both machinery and AI, backed up by pure compassion about his work. But he wasn’t perfect yet, there was still so much he had to learn – and sometimes one just couldn’t get it the usual way. There is only so much one could come up with by having good critical-thinking and problem-solving, as well as an advanced knowledge of scientific, analytical, and programming skills.

Curiosity killed the cat – or in his case: Thirst for knowledge and arrogance let him down the path of becoming an agent. That night, the young dragon was bursting with excitement and energy. Just a few tests and he would get access to the best information gathering and storing system of Sornieth. As one of the Organizations cryptologists, he would be responsible for analyzing and interpreting information. He actually just got lucky back then: There was this one message he came across by accident. Intercepting and decoding was quite easy – and it attracted the attention of the Organization. They offered further training in both linguistics and mathematics so the young dragon could decipher coded messages, as well as create encoded messages even better. They just forgot to mention, that this new job might require travel, and time-sensitive assignments may create overtime work hours. Keeping up the usual ‘visionary’ engineer act as well as a dual life wasn’t always simple. As he could never tell anyone about this part of his life, as well as leaving the Shifting Expanse behind, he started to revel in any opportunity to talk about was his more ‘normal’ work.

Well, look who decided to show his face.” – The usual contact was sitting across the table, looking at a more matured agent. Since leaving the Shifting Expanse he had been able to maintain his cover as he would rarely leave the clan. His skills were put in action by him stay on the sideline gathering and feeding information, rather than putting him in the field. Still, the dragon had his share of field training and action. He just wasn’t too keen about it. The contact immediately noticed the poorly hidden grumpy expression when the ‘6 month apprenticeship’ came up. But the prospect of returning home, as well as the promise of adventure and scientific achievement swiftly brought a smile on the agent’s face.

Back in the beginning – when Eridani first got on this job – he had soon realized the things one knows or read about agents in novels are, for the most part, not even slightly realistic. He had never killed anyone or received some gadgets – frankly though, he could just invent some himself. Nor had he been able to seduce an attractive dragoness; they most likely stayed away because of the science-robo-talk Eridani calls ‘small talk’ . This new assignment was actually right up Eri’s kind of expertise. Without having said a word, the dragon took the news parchment and left. He had some work to do.

DAY 2

~Time to head on over to the Shifting Expanse. You hear it's hot, sandy, and dusty over there so maybe some extra water and a hank to protect your face might be good. Oh yes and some prehnite as well since you know that some clans won't accept anything else as payment.

You have spent a few weeks in Thunderstorm City collecting information and tracking down promising leads by listening to chatty locals, reading articles in the local news parchments, and making very discreet inquiries. You've confirmed the locations of Apprentice Magister Gertrude and the original Electrical Engineering team involved in rebuilding the Sanctorum: Flick, Chasem, and Dib. Your only decision now is who to contact first?~ x
What is the best way to gather information discreetly? Playing dump while staying smart. Eridani had arrived in Thunderstorm City a few weeks back and the hard weather with its intense storms immediately brought back childhood memories. Before really getting started on the information gathering, Eri still had to go through a little reverse culture shock. One wouldn’t believe how real and weird that could be: Since he had been living in wind for such a long time, many things that were completely normal in the past felt weird and unfamiliar. His eyes would out him the second he entered any city, and while travelers were a common thing nowadays, any agent on this mission (and his background) would profit to simply blend in perfectly with the other dragons of the Shifting Expanse – hiding in plain sight. Although he already gathered information by reading articles of local news parchments, dragons usually started talking more freely when they thought, they were with kindred spirits or those of their own kin.

Some chatty locals, articles and discreet inquiries Eridani was able to put together some ideas on what had happened here. The main key persons to get him on the right track consisted of an odd trio of engineers called Chasem, Dip and Flick at one side, as well Apprentice Magister Gertrude from Oculus of the Eleven. Rumor had it, that the trio had been reassigned because of their peculiar work ethic. The Sanctum had been an almost forgotten place, a small stone tower in the middle of nowhere singly operated by the Apprentice Magister Gertrude to watch the primary lay line of the Shifting Expanse. Being a lightning engineer himself, Eridani had read about those energy lines deep inside Sornieth quite a long time ago as he was considering their use in his experiments. Although almost forgotten by the younger generation, the elder dragons could still offer some washed out and rather unspectacular stories about this place called the Sanctum. But as all leads pointed in this direction, Eridani decided to dig a little deeper.

Who would have thought, Chasem and Gertrude actually exchanged letters while working together? It had taken Eri just a day to extract some interesting data floating around unnoticed deep in network of the Shifting Expanse. Other flights usually are not aware of its existing, but it was the newest way to exchange notes although it was still start-up phase and quite irritating to work with right of now. But from the information the agent was able to gather from it he knew for sure: that the Snapper Chasem and Gertrude might had tender feelings for one another; that the trio was assigned to build a new Sanctum; and that they were about to bring it all to a conclusion when they got pulled from the project. Although they shared no blueprints, random parts of their conversation indicated them constructing a large place around the old tower – surprisingly massive compared to its importance in the past! As for now, Eridani had to contact those dragons and talk to them in person to move this case forward. While Chasem and Gertrude seemed to be the more balanced out of them all, the agent decided to try his luck with the other two dragons for now: Dip and Flick.

The high pitch trilled Spiral Dip and his often gullible Ridgeback friend Flick had the habit of visiting one particular place every evening for a drink since being pulled from the assignment. As Chasem now spent a lot of his time with Gertrude, the trio was broken up and Eridani managed to join the both of them quite easily by buying some rounds. As the conversation got going, Eridani directed it towards their last job experience. “I don’t get it… why do we always have to do the hard parts and never get to do the fun ones?” Eri asked with a lower and slower tone that had served him well over the years, disarming defenses and allowing him access to information and thoughts of others. And the both of them started venting about what happened to them all soon enough, providing the agent with some quite interesting details. He would have to investigate this Chief Engineer Craklinne right away…

DAY 3

ab02da9c80750e2976e450ac0dfaf8e1.png
~Your interviews with Gertrude and the Electrical Engineering team have confirmed the existence of a new and improved Sanctum, but now there are many more questions to answer. It's time to infiltrate the Sanctum. How will you accomplish this task? Pose as a volunteer Intern, an electrical technician, an inspector, or perhaps some other occupation?

The choice is yours.~x
After a fun night out with Dip and Flick – who both got home with a certain swaging in their tread – the agent had gathered some more interesting information about what was currently going in the Shifting Expanse, as well as a new lead for further investigations. Eridani would have to get closer to this Chief Engineer Craklinne to get to the bottom of things. But, what kind of action should he take… there was only so much one could do behind the scenes and it seems like, Eri had reached the dead end for this case. Sighing deeply the dragon continued his stroll through the busy city, deeply lost in his thoughts. The festivities had already begun a while ago and the streets were filled with dragons from all over Sornieth and Eridani had to wave his way through them all without getting knocked down. Being a Spiral really came in handy in these situations.

Curled up in his temporary location, Eridani gave the ‘infiltration’ plan another careful consideration. He still wasn’t overly thrilled by the idea of some direct field action, but this time was bound to happen. Somehow he had to contact that Chief Engineer or someone close to him to get into the facility without getting found out immediately. Getting there as some sort of inspector was out of question – that was just too obviously confrontational for Eri’s taste. Presenting himself to them as a technical or electrical technician might do the job: he would be able to operate inside his field of expertise right in the middle of the Sanctum’s epicenter and the whole action. At the other hand they would surely keep a close eye on a newcomer this late in the game. It would be troublesome to get around under prying eyes and quite easy to rise suspicion while sneaking around. Also, the agent wasn’t sure he could keep his concentrated passion about engineering in check 24/7 while working this close with other amazing minds, thereby outing himself as somewhat more than a normal technician.

Thinking back to the initial advertisement from that news parchment the best course of action for Eridani might be enlisting as a simple intern with working knowledge that still needed some polish up. And so, the agent came up with a new background story for himself: A young lightning dragon with a keen interest in this kind of work field, but with limited knowledge about the trade. One eager to learn and finally leave home for some adventure! That way Eridani would be able to move around more freely and even when they catch him in the act of snooping around, his taken on ‘curious’ and ‘a bit naïve’ characteristics could mask it to some degree. As intern he would have limited access to the real interesting stuff, but again, a bit of technical ‘playing around to train oneself’ could to the trick if played right. Also, they might be more interested to hire that kind of gullible dragon easy to get rid of, over a more sophisticated one. The decision made and all the agent had to do now was presenting himself as an intern candidate to the ones responsible for recruiting.

The meeting place for the interview was quite off the beaten track and the dragon sitting across Eridani didn’t seem that motivated in the conversation. Usually, an internship was supposed to be an opportunity to get to take on a career without making any serious commitments, providing one with experiences, lessons, and the tools one would need to get a full-time gig in the future. They should be a great way to enhance both the company and the intern's capability on a business perspective. In short, the company gets a pair of fresh eyes and mind to think out of the box to come with innovative solutions. But not in this case it seems: the interviewer went over just a few halfhearted questions about Eridanis family background and skills before giving him the intern spot right away. Even if the agent would not be suspicious about the New Sanctuary, that interview would have raised red flags by no later than that moment. What did they so desperately needed dragon power for that they didn’t even care about the ones hired even in the slightest?! Time to find out!

DAY 4

03c57d081fbe529e13abd21992052d15.png
~The security is tight but your forged identification scans authentic. The security detail leads you toward the huge copper dome of the new Stormcatch Sanctum and you can't help but be impressed by the massive structure. As you pass through the entrance, you settle into your character and stay alert for information gathering opportunities.~x
As soon as the interview finished, they asked Eridani to go pack up his things and join them in about an hour at the age of the city. They would bring him to his new workplace right away; as lodging was included in the employment agreement the rented room would no longer be required. After arriving at the New Sanctum – a large domed structure with multiple rooms and confusing corridor system for those not used to it – they equipped Eri with an Intern ID and light blue working garment. He would learn later, that each division had his own colored wear to be more easily distinguished from one another. One of the other interns than brought him over to the Doorm – a three-storied grey building with many windows and eight wings – where Eridani was assigned a bunk in the east wing to share his room with another seven (one had to honor Stormcatcher) dragons. They told him, that only the main professions were entitled to a double shared room and only the higher ups had the right to have their own room. Eridani didn’t mind, this situation was actually perfect for gathering information.

The first day, Eridani was paired up with a young Nocturne named Frosting, wearing a Ridgeback paper masque over his head that matched the color of his lightning colored glimmering belly quite well. It was quite weird nonetheless: Did that young one actually wanted to turn himself into another breed and therefore applied for Internship here at the New Sanctum? Or was it just some kind of fashion Eri was not aware of? Or just one of Frosting’s quirks? – Running around all day without actually finding out – or even doing – anything useful, Frosting and Eridani sat down for an afternoon snack. It was the perfect opportunity to pump his fellow in misery for information, as they didn’t had the chance to really get to know each other yet. After a first introduction, Eri quickly came to the important questions: “I hope I don’t disoblige by asking, what do you think about the work conditions here, Frosting?”

“Well, to perfectly honest – and that’s my humble opinion – of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one’s view and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one’s valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say… what was the question again?” The young Nocturne wide-eyed looked at Eridani, a shy expression started spreading on its face as well. “They say I’d have to start thinking more effectively if I wanted to keep my job here. Even if, personally – and I think others might agree to this way of seeing things, although I’m not one hundred percent sure they actually do – one has no idea what the actual meaning behind the word ‘effective’ might be; effective in the meaning of ‘straight forward’ or ‘successful in producing a desired or intended result that one wants’ or ‘existing in fact, though not formally acknowledged as such’ or more as an business-adjective with the meaning of ‘having started to operate or be used’. There is also-…“ Eridani decided to go deaf.

As clever as this young one appeared to be, it’s continuous blabbering wouldn’t get the agent the result he was hoping for. He decided to part with the Nocturne for now and to talk with some more of his co-workers about their recent work experiences right away. They might drop some useful information without even knowing it; for sure, it was going to be more viable than the exchange with this last intern for sure. It wouldn’t hurt to have another look around the premises to complete the blueprint he started to create the second he entered the New Sanctum. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure; and the map was going to come in handy if Eri ever had to disappear real quickly in the future.

DAY 5

ca823e6bc6f23c559b9593b4bb1cc35b.png
~You're making progress. As far as you can tell, no one suspects that you are not what you claim to be. Now, how to gain access to the more restricted levels deeper under the Sanctum Reactor?~x
“Anyway, are you ok with not going back? There is still time…” – Eridani eyed his new-found companion tensely. He was still unsure what to think of the other dragon employed as a technical engineer who was close situated to the inner circle of the New Sanctum. Actually, Ishkur had been the one to approach Eridani in the corridors. Who would have thought that someone would find out about the agent spying on the New Sanctum that soon?! The young lad was a bit socially awkward and tended to stay on his own, keeping his distance with the other workers. It quite surprised Eridani when he asked the Spiral to have a little chat with him. Eridani tried to give a rough assessment of his collocutor: The young dragon seemed to be fiercely independent and wary of others who approach him, thinking the only meaning behind their actions were ulterior motives. Ishkur also seemed to hate the thought of being controlled or taken advantage of. Him offering his help was exceedingly surprising! But the both had come to an agreement about working together – for now.

With a wide smile on his face, as if he found himself to have been very clever, Ishkur sat down next to Eridani. “I already finished the report flawlessly, full marks without doubt. No one will be suspecting a thing.” The Spiral at the other hand wasn’t as fulsome in his praise of his newfound companion in crime. “I really don’t get you. Why are you even trying so hard to help me out? When you could just rat o—” A wink of the Skydancer’s talon interrupted Eri’s speech. “Insurance! I don’t know what’s going to happen here in the future. Some of my (few) friends have already disappeared… so, helping you out might turn out to be advantageous for me in the long run. I can always split on you to the higher ups if anything goes wrong.” Pleased with the way the other one was thinking, Eridani had one big question to ask before irrecoverable engaging this new friendship: “Just as I thought. That’s a wise way to live… You, do you see everyone else here as idiots?! Do you think, you are the smartest one going around?”

“Why such an unpleasant question all of a sudden?! But, well, I don’t think one can say, ‘being good at studying or at your job equals being smart’. They just hide their own stupidity behind a nice facade. When I met you though, I got that feeling: ‘Ah, that’s a smart one. Better stay close to him’. You know? As for that ‘do you see everyone as idiot'-question… Isn’t that because you too see everyone as idiots!? You are playing nice and goofy, but without standing out in an odd way. As if you are laughing about all and everything behind that façade of yours.” Ishkur showed the first genuinely smile since the moment the got together with Eridani to get him access to the more restricted levels of the New Sanctuary to uncover its secrets. “Well, in the end it’s the stupid ones who can dream. But those who are clever enough not to get lost in their dreams are the ones who can get to the top. That’s what I believe… Anyways, from this point onwards, we’ve got to keep giving it all we’ve got. They’ll be onto us soon…”

At that point Eridani decided to trust this strange dragon. As an agent he usually would never try to share his deepest secret, so he had only told Ishkur about this wish to uncover the truth about the place. Him actually being an agent still remained a secret. “You know, I think teaming up with you wasn’t that bad an idea after all. Your way of thinking is kind of similar to mine and working together might turn out to be quite interesting…“ – Excited, Ishkur laid out a blue print of the deeper levers to discuss their next steps. It was more detailed than the one Eridani was able to create during his whole stay as he never had the means to get around that level anyway. “Alright then! Let’s both do our best together and get going!” Following the corridors marked on the map with his eyes, Eridani tried to calm his companion down a bit: “I said ‘might’! We still must get to the bottom of this place first to dig up all its secrets. Then we’ll talk…”

DAY 6

edbfe91daecd139e67f458d6d7a411c1.png

~Finally. The last level of the Sanctum! You push open the door and are amazed.

There is nothing there.

Well nothing of any interest. Pipes and cables, crates and barrels, shelves stocked with a variety of parts and tools. It seems like this level is just a large storage area. Oh well, you decide to look around anyway.

As you quietly peer into darkened aisles of supplies, you realize that there is a quiet murmur of voices. Following the sound, you discover a simple door at the end of one of the supply aisles. You can't quite make out what's being said so you decide to take a risk and carefully open the door.

Wow. Now you really are amazed! What have you discovered?~ x
Ishkur had noticed the quiet murmur of voices first and motioned Eridani to come closer to check it out. Through gestures they decided to sneak a bit closer, taking the risk of opening the door just a bit more so they could have a better look inside: A group of dragons – all dressed in the higher up and engineer uniform – were standing right in front of the door, a few steps away. But they were totally absorbed in the graphics, calculations and equations that were hang up all over this corner of the room. Eridani was also mesmerized by all the freely available information right before his eyes, trying to make sense out of it. Then Iskur jogged his elbow into Eri’s side to get his friend’s attention back to reality. The remaining part of the room was occupied by a gigantic machinery, buzzing with electricity. Neither of the dragons expected to find something this massive down here right over the primary ley line of the Shifting Expanse. They had actually found the ‘unspecified machinery’ mentioned in the blueprint notes, but they knew exactly what it was: “… it that a reactor?!”

It was an electrical power grid, a passive two-terminal electrical component that stores energy through a magnetic field when an electric current was flowing through it. Typically, it consisted of an insulated wire wound into a coil around a core. Those current needed some kind of conductor to flow through to generate a magnetic field. In the New Sanctum the conductor wasn’t just any kind of object: living DRAGONS were used as the flow of charge to and from the primary ley line! Shocked glimpses where exchanged by the two hidden dragons as they started to figure out the whole gruesome truth. They were using a very specific ‘magnetic core’ made out of living, breathing dragons would increase the magnetic flux of the field around the coil and thereby increase the inductance of said coil by a factor of several thousand over what it would be without it. In other words: They were using dragonkin as living conductors to power up the magnetic field around the inductor to increase the natural energy of the primary ley line of the Shifting Expanse!

“Gentledragons! This is be the most grand reactor ever constructed!”, said one of the higher ups. Ishkur noticed the blank look on Eridani’s face who tried placing the dragon and prompted a silent ‘Chief Storm Engineer Craklinne’. “Please, notice the change in the current when it’s directed through our inductor! We are powering our lightning blessing given by Stormcatcher with our very own hands! This, however, does not come without a price. If our Senior Chief Storm Engineer would like to elucidate further…” Another dragon was stepping forward, wearing a sinister expression on his face. “But sure, dear Chief Storm Engineer! You see, the magnetic field contains potential energy and increasing the field strength requires even more energy to be stored in the field. This energy comes from the electric currents that are traveling through the conductors, a.k.a. the dragons you see laying inside the field. To start the flow of the electric currents we had to bring a great sacrifice! Our brave fellow lightning brethren had to give their lives for our great cause! But fear not, we have found the perfect solution! No child blessed by Stormcatcher will have to bring the great sacrifice ever again.”

The group approached the magnetic field with the restricted dragons inside who appeared to be too weak to even notice the engineers right in front their eyes. “Chief Storm Engineer Craklinne was the first to effectively use the potential energy inside dragonkin. An energy held inside us because our unique connection to our deities. But that’s not all! As we were amplifying our primal primary ley line to strengthen the lightning blessing, we noticed some incredible changes in other ley lines as well. Let me explain: All of these lines cross each other at some point and thanks to our great work here we were also able to affect the ley lines all over Sornieth. Thanks to that our lightning brethren do not have to bring the sacrifice all on their own anymore! The magnetic field now can be strengthened by dragons from other flights as well. All of Sornieth’s energy was amplified and we can use all blessed dragons to further our mission! The Lightning Clans of the Shifting Expanse will gain in strength to fulfill our deities wishes!” – With a last horrified look inside the room, Eridani and Ishkur decided to get out of there immediately.

DAY 7

9222eee232cc064786a8eb994239daef.png

~Success! Now that you've discovered what Lightning is doing, how are you going to get the information back to your flight? Try to "escape"? Send a coded message? Rely on someone else to get the word out?

The decision is yours.~ x
Though Eridani and Ishkur didn’t know for certain if they were seen while getting away from the overheard meeting, they certainly would not wait to see what was going ho happen next. One might think –them both belonging to Lightning – they could never have to meet the same tragic fate as the other dragons working in this facility destined to be used as living energy to satisfy the greed of power of some few. The friends were not in any immediate danger – for now. But, should even a single soul suspect them of knowing more than they should, their lives would turn into a nightmare pretty quickly. Their only option was to escape the influence of the Company and report back to the Organization so further steps could be initiated!

While planning their escape there was still some unanswered questions to think about: like, why they decided to employ the dragons rather than simply lock them up somewhere? This one was easy to think through. Dragons who are pacing the length of their cages, waiting for the perfect moment to break free was counterproductive as they needed around the clock surveillance to prevent all escape attempts. It was a waste of dragonpower to keep them tied down in a dungeon. They must have decided at one point to let them work normally as long as possible without them noticing a single thing. When their turn was up, they were taken to the reactor and into the magnetic field where there was no chance for an escape. Another reason why Eridani and Ishkur should get out of the New Sanctum as soon as possible. Ishkur had asked to come along as soon as they got back to the Doorm and Eri’s small bunk. He just wanted to get out of there on the next possible opportunity and Eridani – who was quite found of his new friend – rejoiced over the Skydancer’s decision. They could use each other’s help.

All was ready; and it was a rather simple plan they had in mind: They would use Chief Storm Engineer Craklinne’s name to feign an errand run into town. After, they would spend some time traveling all over Sornieth to gather more information about the reactor’s impact on all the flights. It was an extremely unspectacular escape, but neither of them minded that fact in the slightest. All they thought about was the vast expanse of their desert home stretching out in front of them. A single high-voltage Almonds leaf floated down and landed on Eridani’s shoulder as they hurried away and it was then the agent realized how little energy he had left. It took a massive amount of energy to just brush the leaf off and it left him feeling drained. This was the main reason he hated being out in the field – is was just a big bother. The Spiral had to pull himself together and kept on going. There was still work to do.

The elemental dragonflights have long rivaled for control of their realm and a grouping in Lightning had decided to push their desire to the next level. Them messing around with the energy of the Shifting Expanse’s primary ley line might be one of the many factors why the pull of the elements had increased all over the lands, why riptides had become stronger, by the wind currents howled with incredible force in the opposite direction and the nights had become darker.

It resulted in a new energy balance that had reach the point of no return.
