There's an arrow in that tapestry....? ( Ed x Zel)

Ed had quite visibly perked up at the mention of dragons. All to deflate and proceed to sulk, fingers tapping the hard sword casing. All that bright promise squashed with nary a blink of an eye.

Edward snickered slightly at the image of zel's grey hair and red beard. "Thats okay my own redheaded brother would soon follow you in the gray department. Roxy? She's getting rather heavy but as lovely and feisty as ever. I pity the fool who messes with her. I should know it is usually me."

"Hmm five more mages is a good start. Not enough but it increases our chances. If we could have more people trained to handle your transfiguration potions that would be an asset as well. Tell me Zel do you have a potion that could change a man into a horse? That may prove invaluble for those without chosen who wish to fight. Of course we would not be able to communicate as azrein do but it may provide a bit of defense. To what end I am not yet sure. For now I'm grasping at straws and hoping they do not catch flame."
