History Repeats

Upon entering the Rift, Evangeline could feel that something wasn't quite right. At first she couldn't place what it was and then, slowly, she began to relize that could no longer feel Tallis with her. He had been with her for so long and she had grown so accustomed to feeling the weight of his presence in her mind and soul that without him there she felt ... empty. "Tallis?" She called the dragon's name, hoping that he was just taking a little bit longer to come through the portal, but when she looked up toward the trees she could see him there, brilliantly orange against the dark background. He stared at her with indifference and then he was gone, flying away without so much as a backwards glance. "Tallis!" And for the first time in as long as she could remember she was truly alone. She almost gave chase, but a voice stopped her and she turned to look in his direction. "Hello." She echoed his greeting. "Evangeline." She looked in the direction that Tallis had flown then turned back to Korri. "Maybe." She said in response to his question of being lost. "Is this the Rift?"
