"Serna," Lazheros asked seeing the girl being quiet, "Are you alright? You're too quiet for my liking."

The kurori continued to hum the song from an American Tail pausing only to tap the shield maiden on the shoulder, "The Bronze Man has a point, you are really, really quiet, Serna."

"I was just doing some thinking," Serna quipped honestly, "That's all."

"Oh, may I inquire what is it you're thinking about?" The Bronze Man asked.

"Why can't we all be Drow?" The Shield Maiden replied as she turned towards the others, "You're a dragon right? Why can't you cast a spell on all of us and turn us into Drow. I would love to see Captain Irzen's homeland. Why can't we all be Drow for a day or two?"

"What?!" Irzen asked in pure disbelief.

The Bronze Man stopped walking, "No. I cannot cast the spell you desire, however, the kurori can."

Caliaphy snapped out of the song she was singing and fluttered over to the dragon, "What do you mean, Bronze Man?"

"You know exactly what I mean, Caliaphy." Lazheros narrowed his eyes at her, "Of all the times you got Alyson into trouble in Asylum, 'Seeming' got you out of some of the worse spots because of your magic."

Now Madeous was curious now, "That would make sense about some of the stories Alyson told me of how you both got away."

Caliaphy hovered with her arms crossed, "Hmph! And why would I cast 'Seeming' on all of us just to go in the heart of the Underdark where there's more than just drow, dark dwarves, and far worse kinds of monsters?"

"Caliaphy has a point!" Irzen strode over to The Bronze Man and The Fairy, "And even if she could do it, how long could she keep it up? If she loses her concentration at the wrong time or is rendered unconscious for any reason, then the jig would be up and you guys would either have a hell of a lot of explaining to do OR you would have to fight your way out of Shadow Haven and the Underdark itself."

"Seeming doesn't require concentration to cast it and it would last eight hours. So basically its a really powerful illusion." Caliaphy quipped.

"Fair enough." The Swordsman replied evenly.

"It was just an idea, Captain Irzen." Serna hunched her shoulders.

The Swordsman dropped to one knee and comfortingly placed his hand upon The Shield Maiden's shoulder, "True, but it is a dangerous one. You have to understand, Serna, that there is a lot more to being a Drow than just looking the part. You have to have the demeanor, the look, the swagger of my people. Not to mention that you have to have a mastery of the Drow language too."

Irzen looked at Caliaphy, "Does your spell include speaking in the Drow language as well?"

"Nope. Seeming can alter the appearance of everyone here changing their looks, gear, and size that's all." The kurori snapped her fingers.

"Just as I figured." The Swordsman replied, "While all of you could look the part, none of you would be able to speak the part."

Madeous came over to Serna, "There was a time that Alyson wanted to come with me during my adventures, and I said no because the places that my friends and I went were far too dangerous for kids regardless of their age. Children do not have the discipline or the stomach to handle horrors of places foreign to them. There is beauty everywhere in the Realm but also death and carnage. I'm not your elder or parent but what you decide now will dictate your life later down the road. You're a kid, still, Serna and that is something that really annoys a certain Force of Evil."

"Okay, I get it." Serna nodded sadly, "No trip to the Underdark today but maybe when I'm older and got a lot more adventuring under my belt. Who knows, right? Anything is possible in the Realm."

Alyson and Quake eyed each other while the adults with experience talked the shield maiden out of a journey into the Underdark. The fire-stone dragon sat down and munched on some multicolored rocks after the elmentalist heated them up.

"Okay! Okay!" Serna finally conceded, "No Underdark for me--ever! I get it!"

"So, are we camping now or still walking because I am getting a little hungry and bored just standing here." Alyson said nonchalantly.

"Adventure! Humph! Excitement! Humph! A Jedi craves not these things!" Irzen replied in his best Yoda voice.

Serna broke out into gales of laughter.
