Castle Blackscale - Cradle Tower
Lilia |
...It's been 80 years since then. |
Lilia |
Baur said you'd return to the stars before much longer, but here you are, still kicking. That's a good boy. |
Lilia |
Aren't you getting tired of staying in that egg? |
Lilia |
What is it you dislike so much that you'd rather hole up in there? |
Lilia |
I'll read you picture books if you come out. I'll even change your diapers. |
Lilia |
…just come out already. |
Lilia |
Oh yeah, I learned a new spell. At my age-can you
believe it. You never know what lite will throw at you. |
Lilia |
This spell allows me to replay a fragment of the memories stored in obiects... |
Lilia |
…though it only ever shows me utterly trivial things when I cast it. |
Lilia |
I suppose I haven't mastered its use enough to filter out all but the important bits. |
Lilia |
But it's definitely helping me make more progress
than I was before. |
Lilia |
Maybe my next trip will be the one to turn up a way to hatch you. |
Lilia |
I'm heading back out. See you, Malleus. |
Lilia |
…..Hm? Did you say something just now? |
Lilia |
Silly me, eggs don't talk. Am I tired or what? |
Lilia |
guess lam, a little. |
Lilia |
Maybe I'll rest here a while longer... |
Lilia |
You know, I sought out a long said to have lived in the Land ot the Red Dragon, but… |
Lilia |
Brr, it's cold... My hands and feet are about to treeze over.. |
Lilia |
Oh dear, I'm getting sleepy... But this is no place for a nap… |
Old Man |
Hey, you there! You all right?! |
Old Man |
Why, you're just a child! Teddy, I'm loading him up on the sled. Let's get him to the house. |
Old Man |
Is that right? You're on a journey searchin' for a dragon? |
Lilia |
Yes. Sorry to impose on your hospitality. I'll be on my way soon. |
Old Woman |
Not in your condition, you won't! Winters around here get real bad. A child can t cross these
mountains alone. |
Old Woman |
You should stay here until spring rolls around. |
Lilia |
I couldn't possibly ask that of you.... |
Old Man |
Aw, don't you worry none about that. It's been years since the last guest we got, us livin' way
Outing these mountains. |
Lilia |
..Don't you see my ears? |
Old Woman |
Your ears? ...Goodness! Are you a fairy? |
Old Man |
Does that mean you ain't a young'un? |
Old Woman |
You looked the same age as my granddaughter.
Sorry for treating you like a child. |
Old Woman |
Why would we be? You've done nothing to cause us any concern. |
Old Man |
Okay, we won't insist on spring. But at least
wait out the blizzard here. |
Old Man |
Nights in the winter get long and boring. You'd be giving this old couple someone to talk with. |
Lilia |
Heh. An old couple, you say. |
Lilia |
I'm a great deal older than either of you. |
Old Woman |
You don't look it. How old are you? |
Lilia |
I'm 420... No, probably closer to 430 now. |
Old Man |
Well, I'll be! Wah hah hah! Darlin', mind whippin' us up some warm drinks? |
Old Man |
We don't get many chances to talk to people older'n us at our age. I got a ton of questions! |
Old Woman |
Wonderful idea. You can't have a nice 1 talk without a nice drink. Would you like the same thing we're having? |
