Castle Blackscale - Cradle Tower
Baur |
One thing is clear, though. |
Baur |
If we don't do something soon, Malleus will be returning to the stars before much longer. |
Baur |
The egg only takes in a mere fraction of the magic it receives. |
Baur |
So Her Majesty has been channeling many times the amount that's typically required. |
Baur |
She's getting on in years, and she cannot handle any further strain. |
Baur |
Briarland-ah, Briar Valley's situation remains chaotic. Our relationship with our neighbors is still strained. |
Baur |
The fate of our nation hinges upon the queen. She cannot remain with the egg around-the-clock. |
Lilia |
..Where are you going with this? |
Baur |
Sir Vanrouge, I would implore the aid of the man once known as the Dragon's Hand. |
Lilia |
You want my help? What could I possibly do? |
Lilia |
Dragon's Hand, nothing. I'm useless. Just a "dirty bat" who failed his most basic duties. |
Baur |
Whatever others may say, Her Majesty and I trust you implicitly. |
Baur |
We would ask you to search the outside world for a way to hatch a dragon egg. |
Lilia |
The outside world? Fae from Briar Valley don't exactly have the papers to enter human lands. |
Baur |
No, we don't... Not formally, at least. |
Lilia |
Her Majesty sure knows how to ask for the moon. What's even in it for me? |
Baur |
Nothing at all. But… |
Baur |
Do you remember what Lady Maleanor said, that last time we saw her in the throne room? |
Lilia |
When we saw her in the throne room… |
|
Without you, this egg won't hatch! |
|
You can hatch it in my place. |
|
You loved Raverne as well. |
|
My consort, the General of the Left, spent more years working with you than he did being married
to me. |
|
If you love us, then how could you not love the child who carries our blood? Such a thing would be impossible. |

"You can hatch it in my place.” |
Lilia |
I swear... You people dump the most ridiculous chores in my lap. |
Baur |
Sir Vanrouge, will you…?! |
Lilia |
You're lucky I was just thinking about taking a trip someplace far away. |
Lilia |
I suppose I can do a little asking around on the side wherever I go. |
Lilia |
But let's be clear-it's a side errand, nothing more. Don t expect much to come of it. |
Baur |
Absolutely. We'll do all we can to aid in the heirs birth in vour absence. |
Baur |
Safe travels...and night's blessings. |
Lilia |
Guess my first order of business is finding out where dragons dwell on other continents. I can
start from there… |
Lilia |
..If you return to the stars before you even hatch, vour parents will tear me apart when my
time comes. |
Lilia |
You'd better not go towards any twinkling lights you see, Malleus. |
