Merysta wiggled in excitement, but tried to calm down and explain. "Well, I found it deep in the lair. It's hard to say what it is - I mean, it feels like it should be something, but it isn't, like a dream maybe? Whenever I try to think about it, my mind gets all foggy." She lifted the Thing so Gwairen could see it. "I tried wanting it to be a statue but that didn't work... but you know everything." Merysta beamed, sure her mother could figure it out.
Mother looks at the Thing for several seconds, before turning to you. "Merysta, I do not know what this is." She says. You frown at the response.
"Perhaps... a human mage or priest would know. They seem to be able to tell what strange things are most of the time."
Anthramarux considered the voice-it sounded like a child. Her experience with them was that they were a particularly fearless and curious lot. It was amazing any Humans survived to grow to adulthood at all.
"Well, don't be shy, little one-let us see each other.
I promise I won't hurt you-I'm not the sort of Dragon that eats Humans." She said, trying to sound like a Kind and Wise Dragoness and not at all like the acid spitting carnivorous monster she mostly was.
Anthramarux pivoted in place toward the sound, sniffing the air.
You turn around and look at the sound. It's a young boy, [Int:2+2] likely a couple years before he will even begin maturing. What is he doing out here alone?
The young boy walks up close to you. "You don't eat huwmans? Mother said that dragons are big scary monsters that eat huwmans for fun." He says, looking at you inquisitively, mouth slightly open. He swings his arms back and forth slightly as he waits for your reply.
Upair Saw the shadow growing below him and knew what was going to happen next. He moved quickly, grabbing a bone mid-sized to take with him as a snack, for later.
You grab a bone for a 'snack' as you are lifted away, yet again.
You are moved down several long hallways before the green thing stops at a room filled with shiny yellow and silver things. You are dropped off and something slams behind you. Suddenly, the way into here is blocked by a brown thing.
Well, looks like it's just you and a bunch of shiny things. Yay!
