"Tieral has already told us the situation. What's the plan," Talia asked landing next to Tieral.  moment later Metraz did the same, then eyed Konoki cautiously before  turning to Goldenscale.

"I'm going to assume this gryphon is on our side," Metraz said, "Any help we can get will be helpful. Even if it's from another species."

"I trust this gryphon with my life.  Konoki was one of the creatures that came and took me in.  A male from each of the legendary species took me in, gave me a name and taught me their ways.  Konoki was my gryphon father." she said as Konoki put a wing around her.  "It is true.  Whjo would you three be?" he asked in a deep voice.

"We are the three enforcers Goldenscale has chosen to be her personal gaurd. We have sworn an oath to protect her with our very lives," Talia said stepping forward, "I'm Talia and these two are Metraz and Tieral."

"You seem like you will protect my drafon daughter well." he said with a smile.  "We should get to be going." Goldenscale said.  She and Konoki then ran slow enough for the others to catch up, but fast enough to reach the place without being seen.

"You don't have to wait for us. If we get lost, i can track your aura to find you," Tieral siad telepathicaly to Koknoki, "If you get there first, Goldenscale can tell us where to position ourselves for an ambush if needed."

'Got it.  I'll also bring my best warriors and magic users as well as consult the other species about bringing their own.' Konoki replied as he ran next to Goldenscale.

"Sounds like a good plan to me. While you're at it, keep an eye out for the elemental shrines out here," Tieral said as the three enforcers started to fall behind, "Activating them will summon a temporary elemental spirit to your aid. Might not be able to do much, but every little bit of help will be needed."

a winter storm starts up and hail and snow begin to fall. the auras start to split up into numerous others.

Goldenscale found one and went over to it, placing a hand on it before saying something incomprehensible.  Seconds later an earth elemental appeared.  Goldenscale smiled.  "Awesome!  What was this!" she asked somewhat quietly.  Once the snow started to fall, she began to shiver.  Snow always made her freeze to death.  She then ran the rest of the way to the fast multiplying auras.

it began to pile up slowly.

Goldenscale started to shiver more profoundly now.  In her young age, her scales haven't hardened enough to keep out the cold and she was used to warmer climates, so she was affected by the cold more.  She continued to follow the auras, even though she knew she would have to get out soon or risk loosing enough body heat to prevent her from moving.  But she still continued on.

"There you are Goldenscale," Talia said being fallowed by a fire elemental, "If this weather keeps up, we'll have to call off the search or risk being frozen to death. Retreat may not sound like a good option, but we won't be able to rescue Frost if we're dead. My guess is we have about an hour before we have to head back."

"No, I-I have t-to keep going..." she said, shivering uncontrollably now.  She continued to follow.

"Look, I'm not going to let you get yourself killed. I'll give you about forty five minutes, but after that we need to head back to the cave. If we can't find Frost by then, we'll the rest of the council to have a chance at finding him in this weather," Talia said walking up beside Goldenscale, using her wing to block the snow and make a space where the fire elemental coud generate heat, "Even if this weather is unnatural, it will only fuel the storm that is supposed to come through here this afternoon."

Goldenscale continued to follow the auras no matter what.
