"I believe that when we leave a place, part of it goes with us and part of us remains. Go anywhere in the castle, when it is quiet, and just listen. After a while, you will hear the echoes of all our conversations, every thought and word we've exchanged. Long after we are gone .. our voices will linger in these walls for as long as this place remains. But I will admit .. that the part of me that is going .. will very much miss the part of you that is staying." Said Shane to King Arthur just before he departed on his journey... Arthur looked upon his First Knight as he was placing his belongings on the back of Ghost, the White Guardian Dragon along with Lerran, a mystic Black Wolf who dated back to the beginning of time. The wolf was not a huge fan of flying and this time would be no different. "May the Lady watch over you Shane. Whatever reason she has to send you away from Camelot on this journey must be a good one. "
"I hope that this will not be of a long duration and that I will return as quickly as possible Sire." he answered back. He mounted up on the back of Ghost, "Ok old friend, lets' take to flight" he said. The dragon lifted off quickly and flew upward towards the clouds. Shane looked back just in time to see Camelot disappear from his sight. Hours later as they traveled in the direction the Lady of the Lake directed them to go, the skies began to turn dark. "I don't like this friends" he said as Ghost continued to fly into the clouds. Lightning lashed out everywhere, as the flew through the storm. "What in the Lady's name is that!!?" Shane called out as the clouds in front of then began to swirl until a hole developed. Lightning was being sucked into the hole as they drew closer. "AROUND!! TURN AROUND!! GET US OUT OF HERE!!" he cried out but it was too late. They were being pulled into the hole. He held onto Lerran and onto the reins of Ghosts saddle. A moment later they were gone...
