This story is a collaborative effort between two of your favorite and awesome Fic authors Dragon and Jowy, taking place after the second installment of the LoR series and after Artifact of the Old World. The plot line was laid out by Dragon, modified by Jowy, and brought to life by both. We hope you enjoy Pearl of Shadows.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Cale and his companions moved slowly through the forest near the desert that led to Kethenecia, a small group of Legaran scouts not far in front of them.

"I vote we just rush in and rip them apart, preserving their heads with looks of sheer and mortal terror will make a nice collection of trophies." Richard mused, a child-like gleam in his eyes. Cale simply shook his head at his Undead companion.

"No, they are seeking something and they are moving in the direction of Kethenecia, the question is, though...why?" Cale stated to his friends.

"Well Pinky, that messenger did say that some odd occurrences had been happening recently and that they were under attack by creatures the likes they had never seen, perhaps Legara is curious and desire to know what this force to maybe strike a deal with them," Krunch explained, obviously having mulled this over.

"As long as this has nothing to do with gods or traitorous rogues, I don't think this will be a problem... hopefully," the noble Elf said.

"You're too optimistic Cale, the more dangerous the thing we are up against the more fun it is to fight and kill," the Warlock said as the group continued their silent march.

"With the way our luck goes, maybe we shouldn't have let Uru return to slumber and replaced the Mystic Dragons in the Ring of Fate," the Elf mused.

"We did what we thought was right, we couldn't keep relying on them, besides, the Mystic Dragons were almost drained of power," Benny stated from the back of the group.

"Aye, the Priestess be right, whatever it is that is going on I am sure we can handle without them," Pella piped up. Cale looked at his companions and smiled.

"Yeah, I guess, if nothing else I hope Rin and X got the messages I sent to them asking them to aid us," the noble one stated.

"You would love to see your girlfriend again wouldn't you?" Richard teased.

"She's not my girlfriend!" Cale replied defensively, then realized he had spoken loudly. He noticed the Legaran scouts had stopped and was now looking in the direction they were. Cale slapped the palm of his hand to his face then drew his twin swords, his gift from Tavor so long ago.

"Now this is more like it," the Warlock said as his hands burst into flames with a loud Fwoosh.

***

Xzistance appeared in the forest, having used the teleport stone from Veruveigan. A messenger had arrived from Cale requesting his assistance in helping solve some problem in Kethenecia.

"I could use this, it has been awhile, I swear rigormortis was actually trying to set in," X mused to himself with a stretch and then began his march toward Kethenecia. He marched along the forest border that bordered the Legara great wall not really paying much mind to anything, not realizing the shadow that had started following him about an hour into his trip. He emerged in an open field surrounded by some small mountains that he would cross that bordered the desert that led to the Legendary City of Magic. It was then that he felt the presence of someone following him. His hands quickly became covered in an icy mist, preparing for battle.

"Who goes there?" he inquired, not turning around...

I like it so far! Good job Dragon and Jowy!

"She's not my girlfriend!" Cale replied defensively.....

That was a amusing joke and the looks of the scouts
Keep going Jowy and Dragon, I like the story!

I agree with Treycied.^^

Cale's "She's not my girlfriend!" is a constant running gag in Dragon's Legend of Rintasha series.

Yeah, I just finished reading the first of LoR, and now i'm trying to read the second to Tunnels. The joke on the girlfriend thing is funny every time in LoR.

Heh. ^^
Well I'll have the second post up..... some time.

Right now I'm kinda busy with PMoA on fanfic.net and yeah.
When I feel like writing LFG stories, I'll get to work on this.
But this isn't my main work at the moment, so expect the updates to be semi-random.

And now... I'm just bored to hell. I want the next installment... pronto!!! '>.>

Please?

Don't make me whine and whimper like a puppy ;.;

*Curls up around the desolate fireplace, warming himself slightly*

Srry guys but this is gonna just be postponed for who knows how long...

I just havent felt like writing it.
And when I dont feel like writing it, if I'm forced to, it comes out all crappy...

Oh goody! Another one by Dragon! Love your writing

thats a funny beginning

Update already!!

Otherwise this is just sitting here taking up space.

I'm sorry to announce that this is pretty much a dead fic; my heart just isn't in it.

Maybe someday it'll update, but... unlikely.

As of now, I'm abandoning it. Sorry.



I do not like trying to write two things at once and I am currently working on a non-LFG crossover fic. If anyone absolutely must read something written by me, my current project is up on my ff.net profile (linked from my LFG profile).
I just can't get my heart into the plot of PoS. Maybe when PMoA is finished, I may turn my attention back to this.
