| "The Hell you did!" Probe interrupts, drawing alarmed looks from those
of draconian descent. Even Dragon Fred knows who Sato actually was, how
OLD he was, and how he had been the one to have proposed the Council of
Wyrms (much to his regret later in life.
You don't idly ignore such things. You might find it hazardous to your
health.
"Nobody deserved what we did to you," Probe continued to protest. "It
was one damn horrible mistake that will never be undone."
"Thus are the fortunes of war," Sato said softly. "I do not blame you
for reacting as you did. The facts revealed to me and my...allies...have
been most enlightening. If anyone is to be blamed for you being fooled
by such a masterful stroke, it's the Enemy. BUT, it was the Council that
sealed our fate. It was the Council that refused to even consider your
just warning.
"I could have listened to the younger, but now apparently wiser, voices."
the elder wyrm sighs, looking towards the Regent's new Vizier, Alicia 2.
"We should have made a stand against the Council. We should have fought
just as those wiser Occidental dragons did in YOUR universe! Thus dragon
kind would have been spared such devastation when the Alliance saw us as
what we actually were, not as the monolithic menace that the Council made
us look like!"
"But that was just…an isolated incident! (re: 2745)" protested Alicia
2, befuddled. "Just two Oriental dragons attacking an evil Occidental dragon.
There were no more events like that!"
"That you know of," Sato smiled softly. "See, that would have been a
quiet affair, out of sight of most non-humans and humans. It would have
been. Embarrassing otherwise..
"Sorry if that sound strange," Sato finishes. "It's just the way dragons
would conduct business such as that."
Heads that belong to those of draconian origin (or were currently dragon)
nod, as if that made perfect sense. The others just looked at each other,
askance.
