Facing the gods in attendance, the dragon exclaimed loudly. " As I see it, we currently have three main problems. "
" Wild Red, and his blackpowder in the Kiatown Harbour are two of them. I think we all have seen that ill-fated prayer by now, but I think one of us will have the task of removing it, lest it does explode and turns the blockade into a full blown assault. As for Wild Red himself, I plan to face him and his forces. Neither can we allow him to rule Selma's Gate, nor to leave the matter of his assassin to rest. " Auratus looked through the room during a pregnant pause, before continuing with his spiel. " His forces have grown to greater numbers. If I have to battle them alone, I will do so, but I would welcome anyone who would share in that battle. "
Clearing his throat, he went on to the matter of which he had become aware under Kiatown. " The last problem would obviously the orcish siege, and those of their gods which want to harm us. You see, I have it on good authority by a former mate of their Golden One, that the only reason those four still align with each other, is out of fear of the chimera. Considering that the other three went so far as to slay those children which were born of aforementioned union, I doubt any of them holds a greater hate for his brothers than he does. "
Shaking his head in disgust, he was loath to discuss such matters, but continued. " There is also the matter that I would dislike to ally with a kinslayer, but luckily he is the strongest among them, and the one least interested in mortal affairs. I think him to be the obvious choice either way, but will not go along should the rest of you plan to ally with one of the others. Still, to improve our chances of gaining him as an ally, I would think it worthwhile if we could give him some sort of gift, or tribute even, if you wish to call it such. " He stole a short glance at Pyrite. “ Sadly, I am currently not in possession of anything that would make either a tasteful, nor a useful present to him. " Now fully turning towards Pyrite, the dragon had a bemused grin on his face. " But I do know that House Infelix should have gifted you one, did they not? Well, if need be, I would also undertake that task alone, gift or not, but our chances of getting him unto our side would decrease then. Since we all might want to give it some more consideration, I think that we can leave this matter for another time. The walls of Kiatown will have to hold until then. "
