Iduran replied to Haraldur,
"How gratious of you. We apperciate any help you could give us, but I'm afraid our forces are so depleted that we cannot fight back at all... Our soldiers are reduced to the perhaps a dozen or so in this cave, many of them wounded... Our castle and town are destroyed, although I'm hoping the sounthern villages are unharmed... But please, help yourself to any weapons or armor you may find in this cavern. *cough*"
Iduran recognized the winged Zeros' as he walked in from the very first assult of the Dark Empire.
"Yes, I remember you. Welcome!"
But as he said this, Iduran saw a shadow approach from behind. Iduran gasped as Zeros' launched his attack toward the enemy in the dark.

Draven moved his head to the side, cracking his neck as he approached Nex.
"Some Aritan with some issues... don't mess with him unless he attacks you. We have more important concerns..."
Draven turned to the forest to the east of their present location.
"So there's a cave out there, huh? Let's have ourselves a look..."
Draven ignighted in flame and took off towards the forest on foot at perhaps 30 MPH, the crimson energy enhancing his speed.
