[The Ruby Sanctum is a flurry of activity. This becomes clear within two seconds of stepping through the portal. The wounded are guided over to a grassy clearing surrounded by saplings and adolescent trees, bade to lay down and receive healing from other dragonkin. Some of the trees are years old, while a few look to have shot up recently. If you watch, vines engulf one fallen warrior; the body sinks into the ground, and a tiny sapling appears in its place.

Despite the war going on outside, the sanctum is less of a cavern and more like a self-contained dimension. Ample sunlight drifts down through scarlet leaves, which are occasionally home to the crimson scales of a whelpling. There is life everywhere: insects on twigs, birds chirping overhead, flowers at your feet. Dragon eggs lay nestled in the nooks and crannies offered by the tranquil forest. There is a decently-sized spring filled with fresh, pure water, as well as some small rocky outcroppings to sleep in. It's warm and comfortable enough to rest out in the open, too.

The cloaked and ever-mysterious Krasus stands watching the dispersing redsworn, his back against the massive oak in the center of the sanctum.

Occasionally, one may glimpse a beautiful red-haired woman with copper skin winding through the copse.]

[ Raising a brow. This one is pretty suspicious, but who can blame him? Even now she has trouble expressing her trust in them, in anyone, after all they have been through. ]

Up until recently, we never meddled in the affairs of the younger races. To many of the denizens of Azeroth we are deities who are on another realm of existence. Every little thing we do is in order to improve life for the planet as a whole as instructed by the beings who blessed us with this power.

[ Blessed her, at any rate. ] I am the Life-Binder, a title not so easily bestowed upon others. My brothers are the Timeless One, the Spellweaver, and the Earthwarder. My sister is the Dreamweaver. Each of us were given responsibility in each of those domains, all of which encompasses the very life of this planet as well as any others we have sworn ourselves to.

Even if my beloved siblings refuse you, there is still my aid and that should be enough to take out the weakened forces of the Burning Legion in another world.

[ There are a lot of them here. Her children will keep her word as will she. ]

Would you have me do something to prove it?

[He listens carefully to her words, taking note of everything she says. It's not hard to believe some of it, it's a brand new universe and it had its own rules, much like the one he'd just come from. Plus they sounded a lot like the Kais to him.

But even so, he is curious.]

As a matter of fact, I would. I've dealt with beings like you before, if you are what you say you are. [Just trying to make sure she's not like the Malnosso :( ]

[lifeforged]

I suppose dispelling this guise will do nothing for you, so what is it that would impress you? After all, you claim to have dealt with my kind before.

[ Her words while arrogant are conveyed through a curious look and soft tone instead. ]
