Figuring that if he could not find the sons, their allies the relorians might be the next second in the role of eliminating the sleeper agents the Magi Android Hawk appeared inside a pocket dimension near the world of Duppin. 5 minutes ago he had created the pocket dimension and would now try and find the sons of Plunder on the world duppin. So the Magi-Android formed a carrier pigeon of sorts made out of a metallic steel like substance and animated it. Letting it fly near the world Duppin it sent out a transmission.
Where may I find the sons of Plunder?
-
As a part of the planet's recent security measures, the bird construct slams into the defensive wall around the planet, squishing itself. The wall extends around it, squeezing it more and more as tiny barbs stick into it, preventing it from leaving as its flattened.
-
Scowling Hawk held out his hand. The bird went poof, dissolving into tiny shards of metal that got caught inside of the barrier of the planet. As a result the 'shards' or fragments would constantly relay his transmission which simply asked if the sons of plunder were on the planet until the shards of course were no more. Failing that, Hawk would attempt to communicate directly with a relorian, and find out where the sons were.
-
The shards meet the same fate, disintegrating faster than the bird due to their smaller size. A powerful feeling of something permeates the residual atmosphere surrounding the newcomer, coming from every direction around him. It would seem a third failed attempt would not be taken as lightly.
-
Sighing, the bio-mechanical construct of an android known as Hawk created the equivalent out of a transmission but made out of Psi and Magic, that would travel through the defenses of the planet since he had applied an immaterial form to the transmission but that it could still be discerned. The purpose of this transmission, to locate the sons of Plunder.
Where are the sons of Plunder?
-
Unfortunately, this is where the next bit of the protections comes into play. Which planet is the real one? Around him, there's nine different Duppin's, almost all of them lying along Duppin's usual orbital path.
-
Shaking his head the Magi-Android Hawk, the bio-mechanical construct created through the intelligence of the smiths is getting a bit miffed at these defenses. Casting a true sight, and scanning this time for the signature of relorian magic which he has data on thanks to the smiths, which he will remember to repay later for this, Hawk is looking for magical signatures now with his abilities. If he can find a magic signature of a single relorian, he will have HOPEFULLY found the real Duppin. Now his goal shifts however as he has to look through their defenses. Quite a nice array of techniques they have used to put around the area.
Later he will attempt after much study to replicate these techniques of course, but he does not have time at the moment as he is too busy with his search. His eyes become like binoculars using the true sight technique to try and see if there is any real planets out there or if they are all just illusions as he is not only an android but part organic as well.
"Which is the real planet?"
-
Too obvious. With the casting of a True Sight spell, every single Duppin seems to erupt in a powerful green light, threatening to burn at Hawk's retinas with each passing moment. Each one emits one single, massively powerful signature, evidence of the power within the place, even without the Relorians. His scanning reveals that the entire area is steeped in Relorian magic, an ancient spell cast relatively recently, and cast from where Hawk was hovering.
Planetside, Iroku looks up to the sky with an amused grin. "How long he take?." He says to himself, before looking back down at the little infant wrapped in soft furs in his arms. "Reality shift for you, little spirit-child. Bird-lady not hurt you, promise." His whispers snake through the wind, laden with soft, subtle magic as they wrap around the child. For the first time, the Shaman dealing with so much death, can enjoy the creation of a new life. He turns to present the child to her mother, lying bare atop a damp, sun-warmed stone. "What is little-one's name, Irrelai?"
The exhausted woman's eyes open slightly, and she smiles the warm, soft smile only a newly-made mother can pull off. "Ausserre." She whispers, her voice even quieter than his. Weak arms find strength as she reaches for the babe, pulling her close to her chest. "Our daughter, Iroku."
-
The moment his retinas started to burn, Hawk formed an opaque barrier around himself that would protect him of course from the light of the worlds that were burning at his retinas. With his eyes in pain like they were, he concentrated and sent a charge of his own energies to recover his eyes, to heal them from the damage that had been done. Extending his arm outward he pointed at a random duppin, hopefully the real one and sent a transmission through all means he had at his disposal, tech and other means as well so that it would reach all those duppins simultaneously.
Where are the sons of plunder?
-
The Duppin he'd pointed at flashed a brilliant, dangerous red as all the others flashed yellow. Before the security magics could react, however, a strange pulse came from every yellow Duppin, converging around Hawk and relaying a single message, implanted into his head like a memory long forgotten, now remembered.
You shall bear witness to the beginning of this existence's evolution, the rebirth of a fallen craetoris and the birth of new Life.
Now begone, you shall be fetched when needed. Those you seek will be at the resting site for Neue Drago.

With that Hawk held out his hand and a rift appeared in space. It was not a portal, not a doorway, not even a gateway, but a rift. A spell he had come up with. Going through the rift was like a safe magical version of the Hyperspace used by technology. He had invented it so he could get to places faster. And so he was off, to New Dragon Moon.
