| "But what about the others?" Carradene 2 asks suddenly. "I accept my
fate….for I see it as the Hand of Fate…..the Hand of Allah for me to be
marooned here. But what of the others?"
"Well," Dragon Fred sighs. "Frankly, from what I've learned about my
new species, none of the restored Dragons better return home!"
A grim chuckle rises from the dragons, causing the non dragons to look
about in askance.
"Ah, the old ruling by the Council of Senile Wyrms," the Regent chuckles
without mirth. "It states that no dragon, once he or she has been….contaminated…..by
nondragon mentality…..will be suffered to live!"
"Ah, and that's so true for me," Malachi Dronocis sighs. "Even though
I've been restored to my rightful form, the experiences…..the changes in
mentality from becoming a human infected with lycanthropy is still much
in effect….I still dream at night."
Dragon Fred leans over and hugs his wife, who shivers at the memory
of the Sons of Nods weapons who nearly had cost her her life.
"Ah, and I've started to dream also, due to the connection I had with
my otherworldly brother," Dragon Sigin chuckles, eyeing Sigin Vulpine and
smiling. "At first it was driving me slowly to depression….when I felt
the stirring of Eye meets Eye…..but no partner was there……."
"Tiamat's breath!" whispers Sigin Vulpine, tail standing erect in shock.
"What happened to me caused…..you to start to start to Slide…..?"
"Yep," chuckles Dragon Synizn. "But we caught it in time, and now he
and Malachi Dronocis are happily Joined."
Getting the two dragons to have Eye meets Eye to happen had been the
only thing that would have saved Dragon Sigin from eventually pinning away……
"And also there was the fact that our dragon here," Probe says, nodding
at Dragon Sigin. "He's not going ANYWHERE since he's now head over wings
in love with the Regent."
Smiles and nods greet that statement.
"Alicia? Astra 3?" Inquirer asks, noticing that they want to speak.
"You have something to add?"
"While I would more than anything like to return to my homeworld…..I
must confess I find myself grateful that I'm at least ALIVE while marooned
here," Alicia states quietly. "I remember that I could have very easily
been converted to an undead wife for the monster who had attacked me….."
Inquirer rises and pats Alicia 2's back as the young green eyed lady
shudders at the memory.
Alicia turns tearing eyes up at Inquirer.
"But you saved me, and I thank you and God for the chance to go on living…..and
not be one of the undead!" Alicia 2 whispers fiercely.
Inquirer smiles and pats Alicia 2's hand, and speaks softly to the young
woman until she recovers somewhat.
Asrta 3 then speaks.
