Glory was having a nice outing from Monoceros. It had been a little while since he had left the room of howling wind and, he had to say, it was a nice change to be flying in both silence and peace. Polaris was quiet and no wind ruffled his feathers, making it easier to fly but harder to glide. No wind could boost under his wings.

As he banked lower, he caught sight of a few strange gembounds gathered together, seemingly arguing. He was about to go lower and see what was going on when he saw movement and something disappeared and reappeared some way away.

His interest piqued, he changed his course and glided down towards the gleaming gem and set himself down next to it. Narrowing his eyes, he leaned forward and gave the gem a careful peck. It was strange, glowing, with weird runes. What was it?

He tried to think if he had seen the bone runes before and thought he felt something in there, but he couldn't be sure.

Glory wasn't really ready for all of the gembounds suddenly gathering around and he looked around them with a burning gaze, huffing with indignation when the huge spider pushed past him. It didn't really strike him as odd that there would be a giant spider in the first place. He was friends with a dragon after all.

But to be treated with such disrespect? How rude! He stepped back forward so that he was standing next to the gem again. "I know what I'm doing," he flashed towards the owl. "It's a gem, not a bug. I'm sure it can take a little peck. And you," he looked towards the spider, a streak of anger flashing in his eyes, "be careful where you're walking! We all want to know what's up with the gem, right? No need to be pushy!" His head raised up proudly, trying to look bigger and more important. He was going to be in charge of this mission to figure out the secret of the gem.

He nodded towards the strange hybrid that had walked up. "A reader of the bones? Perhaps she lives in the bone room. I thought, perhaps, that we should take the gem there. It certainly has something to do with bones." He gave the owl a harsh look for just a second before nodding at him again. "An excellent idea, Scorch. I am Glory," he announced, proudly, opening his wings to show off their golden beauty. "We shall work together to find these secrets. But first," he took off into the air and hovered around, eyes raking the ground for anything that looked like a bone, but his search came up fruitless. When he landed, he gave his head a small shake. "It seems there are no bones to test my theory. Perhaps we could see how the gem reacts to the presence of bones first before we move it so far."
