Even more secrets and saving a life thought lost

by Marya Silverstring

So we're with the dragon still
And seemingly the dragon is content with casting this truth spell again
We once again should agree that we'll not share those secrets he's about to tell us
So yeah~
After all the promisses are made, he then goes into the story
He thinks he's the only one of his kind that's still around
And it seems we'll get the full story on a short walk
Walking through the halls we see, there's most definitely more and bigger dragons down here O.O
But those don't move or respond to any kind of force o.o'
Magic also doesn't seem to work to change something about it
 
Also that's only in a normal big kind of underground street, with several branching off halls
We continue following
Ok there's 14 "frozen" ones
Then down a staircase it goes~
Pretty massive one
Also he collects books
Then it goes through an illusory wall, that diffused via a draconic phrase by the dragon
We then come into a huge gemstone hall O.O
I want it! O.O
And there's dozens of gemstone eggs, maybe even a hundred or so oo''
Also several are missing
The hunters took one egg from here and that's what he took back
But they're not in stasis, as they move every now and then
Though none of them ever hatched
And he went out there, because an egg was missing in the first place
They also gave him the promise to help him
They also threatened, that if he wouldn't help them, they'd take more eggs from here
That's when things turned sour between them
It seems that a man by the name of Sinclaire is involved and is the boss of the eggthieves
Also those eggs here match the one I've seen in the past that I smuggled...
Well....damn....
In the mid term to get some more info, we can always interrogate our prisoner
Also there's big parts of this underground city our dragon friend never got into
 
Then he remembers one thing about the people that came
All of them seemed to be related to Sinclaire
Sebastian mentions someone called "Uncle Wade" - Korshad
Nim and Dalmir go and try to help our dragon to shore up his defenses
In short we learn:
It's someone probably mightier than Korshad
It's someone most likely affiliated with the Myriad
They don't leave any loose strings
She fears for the life of people that are dear to her
It was her first time down here
They were here for the dragon
People are going to come after us if they know what we're doing here
She will be hunted down if she leaves, as well as the people she cares about
Either she'd need a ship to Tal'dorei
Or something else...
 
And I come up with the idea of her guarding the dragon and it's eggs
In exchange for being left alive
Then she's free as soon as the dragon is safe
Klimbell is up for the idea
So is Seb
 
We go back to her, offer it to her and she takes it! <3
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Also she swears to "Hold the hallowed silence"... interesting
Then there's the whole Geas part for her
And it works out!
Klimbell even offers her friendship some day
She might be a little put off right now, but she's bound to get to like this big cuddly dragon sooner or later!
Also she's called Joyce~
