The Crystal Valley had been abandonded for centuries. The palace, the lake, the mountains, and even the plains were seemingly barren of anything.
The Grey had managed to reach to the tops of the mountains, but seemed to be halted from any ability to actually penetrate into the bowl-like valley. Mighty beings of immense power had put remarkably complex protection wards around the entire valley.
His own home, a palace sized home by any human standard, sat atop a small cliff overlooking the palace. It had even more layers of protection around it than the valley itself. Fang had always been one to be cautious. It had been his job for thousands of years.
With Swish in one arm, he walked into the monsterous sized house, and laid her down on one of the few pieces of furniture in the building, which happened to be a soft couch as oversized as the rest of the building.
When he was sure she was comfortable, he went to the equally expansive kitchen. Another good thing about protective wards, is they could be used for everything, including food preservation. He hadn't set foot in this building in over a thousand years, and the food had been there a fair amount of time before that, but it would still taste as fresh as it had been when it was first brought here.
He prepared a simple meal of venison and bread to place to her side for when she awoke. Until that happened, he went to one of the many side rooms to connect with the Elder Council. They would want to know what was going on, and he had more than a few questions for them.
