She moved swiftly from the Outback that eve, the chill of Icedancer still felt within her as she shuddered against the chill of the Rhydin night air...The woman had only known Dae for a short time, yet was honored that he had come to her and asked her to unlock the mysteries of the Icedancer Opal...And so she set off that night to discover what she could before she returned home to the babes and Mortiva...She had told Rak to deliver
the message to Mortiva that she had had some business to attend to before she would return home, and Mortiva didn't mind...She had said that the twins were sleeping peacefully and she was not tired yet. So Illusia set out with Rak at her side, to try to unlock the legends of the Icedancer...
After leaving the Outback, she sought out her father whom was busy, so she returned to her homelands, to search the legends and Acient Tomes and to speak with the Elders there...She entered the gates and moved swiftly towards the Temples, with a gentle nod to those gathered, happy that their Queen had returned...A soft word lit the torches within as she moved to the tomes quickly, her heart racing, wanting as well to unlock the mysteries held
within...She searched for what seemed as hours through many different scrolls, tomes, and parchments...Shaking her head as she leaned back in the chair, about to give up but then something caught her eye...
A shimmering light blue parchment glittered beneath the settled dust in a forgotten corner of the temples, she blinked then blinked again having not remembered seeing it there before...Rising from her seat she made her way towards the parchment, as a chilling breeze caused her to shudder as she glanced about, then finding nothing there, she reached for the parchment...

As she reached for the parchment, a sharp knocking echoed through the temples, and she turned on her heel, a soft growl...
"Who tis it?"
Knowing that only two knew that she was there, she worried, for she knew one was fast asleep, and the other twould only be Rak...
And so the Falcon spake to her through the mind link he held with her from her birth...
"Tis I Rak yer 'ighness, I've a missive ta ye from tha Lord Daelin Dragonsblade..."
A soft sigh of relief as she moved towards the door to open for him, the cold breeze again causing her to shudder, wrapping her robes about her elegant body a bit more tighter...She reached immediately for the letter that was meant for her, and unrolled the parchment anxiously...Rak took to his corner to await his Masters words...Illusia glanced over the parchment briefly, a soft sigh escaping her
lips...She settled again at the desk to read the missive sent to her, the shimmering light blue parchment forgotten for the moment in the corner as she read with glittering emerald and silver eyes...
