"Xybra, Centaur-B, Aquis, Altea, and Aquitar," Delphine said, lookng at the five Talons. "Clearly, you're all here for a reaosn." She turned to the computer, tapping the keys and bringing up a visual on the Viewing Globe. "That reason would be Ulgon the Hunter. I was afraid of this when the Talon arrived on Aquitar for Fen."
And who is this bastard?" Fen asked.
"He hunted Dragons," Delphine said. "To near extinction in the old days. He had five left, their powers held by the Defenders that swore to protect the kingdom. The five died defending, but not before sending these Talons across Space and Time."

Narya’s eyes widened softly as she watched the viewing globe. “That’s horrible. Those poor creatures.”

"What she said. What he had done was very inhumane," Spark spoke in agreement.

"Were those dragons sentient or just animals?" It was bad enough that Ulgon killed those so called Defenders even if it sounded like they were warriors, but if he hunted a race of sentient creatures to extinction that was absolutely unforgiveable.

"Of course they were sentient, Kinwon," Delphine said. "FOr thousands of years, the Dragons walked and flew the Earth. Over time, they started dying out naturally, but others were hunting them from one end of the planet to the other. One of those was Ulgon, using their hides, teeth, and claws as weapons. He carved a bloody trail through the world, increasing his power and killing whatever Dragon he could until eventually he came to the five guardians that were keeping the last six Elemental Dragons safe. Fire, Water, Lightning, Earth, Air, and Darkness. The Dragons gave the Guardians their power to fight back against Ulgon, but unfortunatley, Ulgon overpowered the Guardians. The Talons were the power of the Dragons given to the Guardians, and they cast a spell to send them through space and time, ending up on your various worlds and times."
"SO, what...Ulgon's back to take the Talons and finish his stupid little conquest?" Fen asked. "And we're supposed to stop him?"
"Yes," Delphine said.

After taking the information in and digesting it, Nero spoke up. "Madam Delphine, I understand the mission of what's been chosen of us. However, Uglon is a fierce adversary and I'm sure he's coming very prepared for a drag out fight. However we individuals although together won't be enough to stop a beast like this. As much as a bare knuckle brawler Fen is and with what fighting experience we have as a group, we need a little extra help." Nero said.

"Who says that Fen here is the only fighter here?" Spark spoke to Nero, raising a brow. "I've gotten some fighting experience back in Xybria."

"Nobody said he was the only fighter here," Delphine said. "Just that he's a brawler. Something that has gotten him in trouble over the years on Aquitar." She glared at Fen who rolled his eyes.
"Saved my ass a couple times too," Fen said, folding his arms.
"As for help, Nero...I was thinking about that when the Command Center seemed to respond to my thoughts. Apparently there's still some old Eltarian Magic in this place," Delphine said, walking over and grabbing a tray from the other counter before walking back over.

“I don’t know how much help I’ll be on the battlefield at the moment. But I’m willing to help since the Talon chosen me as it’s next guardian.” Narya said, looking at Delphine as she grabbed a tray.

"Same for me, since the Talon chose me as well. I wanna use my strength in helping these humans," Spark spoke to Delphine.

Kinwon was a bit more conflicted in his choice than the others, it was clear Ulgon had to be stopped but if he stayed would that be the same as abandoning his people? Sure he had heard Astronema and the others would be/were defeated but he had no idea what happened to his people. Eventually he realized that if he helped here he would get get actual combat experience he could use back home "Is it possible for me to return right after I left, no matter how long I stay here?"

Delphine looked at Narya and smiled softly. "Don't worry, little one. We'll help you learn to defend yourself. I promise," she said. She looked at Kinwon, walking back over with the tray in hand. "I honestly can't say, Kinwon. It could be right after you left, it coule be days or weeks. We won't know until this is over."

"Time is a fickle mistress. However, it would be wise that you take anything you learn here in the future our in our case in present day and not repeat it or reveal what you have learned. It could cause damaging effects to our present day or our future." Nero said as he offered his wisdom.

Nero had a good point but it didn't help with Kinwon's decision, same for Delphine admitting that she had no idea when he would return too. Still it was better than her lying so he could respect her for admitting that. He spent a few seconds trying to reach a conclusion as it was clear these people were dealing with an enemy that had to be stopped but also that staying here could mean abandoning his people. Eventually he realized that even if he did figure out how to open a portal then and there he might still arrive weeks or months after he left Centaur-B which made his choice much easier. "All right, I'm in."

Narya nodded, looking at Delphine before thinking about Kiwon’s question when they’d go home. Would she even want to go back was a question that started to creep in the back of her mind before looking at the tray. “What are those?”
