"I got attacked by a dragon" niernen said swaying and almost falling over.

"What dragon? Where? When?" Kyra questioned urgently, thinking it must be the same attacker as Henry, Charlotte and Frill. But if it was, why had it only killed Henry?

Quote: "I don't know what dragon, but I got attacked several hours ago north of here" niernen said, his whole body was trembling "I beat that coward and sent him running north with a broken wing" niernen said proudly.

"I don't know what dragon, but I got attacked several hours ago north of here" niernen said, his whole body was trembling "I beat that coward and sent him running north with a broken wing" niernen said proudly.

Kyra nodded quickly, she wasn't interested in his war victories. "Come to my den, quickly." She ushered him away from the Great Hall towards her den. If Niernen was telling the truth, then it couldn't possibly be the same attacker. The first attacker was much more skilled then the others it seemed, he made the kill and scared Charlotte half to death. So if it wasn't the same as the first, how many were there?

niernen followed her almost tripping several times from his wearyness.
zar'roc sat where he was exausted and about to fall asleep.
brisingur hummed to herself walking around town not knowing what to do.

With a heavy heart, Camilla stepped out and onto the ledge above the large crowd of grieving dragons below. She had giving the farwell speech many, many times in her career as queen, but this one was different. Not only was Henry a very close friend, but the circumstances surrounding his death were beyond horrible. In front of her hung a large hammock which Henry's body lay, covered in flowers and things that the community wished to bury along with him. For the citizens sake, they had completely covered the body so that none could see the gruesome wounds that covered it.

"Citizens, warriors... guests of Pelendava." She tried not to let her voice crack, the last thing her city needed was to see her break down. They were already on the verge of panic after hearing of Frill's latest encounter, and she didn't blame them. The city was hardly safe anymore. "Henry's passing has left a hole in our hearts, too big to be filled with time, or consoling words. He was a kind, compasionate and loving mate, father and friend to many."

In the front row, Ruth's head bowed down until her nose was almost touching the ground. Both Amaria and Mayella, who were Henry's daughters, were standing on either side of her, and Mayella put a comforting wing around her mother's sagging shoulders. Alistair, his closest friend was standing behind them, his head bowed down as well. Samuel was near the edge of the crowd, murmuring comforting words to a young dragoness who had started to cry.

"Good, good. I just have to go get some, just stay right here, okay? Won't be a second." She smiled, starting back towards her den. She made sure to make eye contact with the other one too, so he new she was addressing both.

Christina sank back to a sitting position, her shoulders hunched. She was so confused, she couldn't think... she could hardly move. Vaguely, in the back of her mind she could remember small bits about the attack, but it was so foggy that she didn't know if it was a dream or reality.

I need to start somewhere, he thought, somewhere, indeed...
Pebbles skittered down the cliff side as he progressed upwards, towards the peak.
The atmosphere was growing steadily more desolate, the cold wind nagging at his wings and the surrounding rock turning jagged.
He cocked his head from time to time to stare into the endless sea of grey. Such depression it brought with it, this mountain would never host life. When he... They had Avalon, this is where the survivors would go. Right here, where he stood. They would get to sit their remaining lives out with the lichens and the stone. He smirked, he knew the torment was more of his own, but still.
Plotting fates of those whom he had not even met yet was getting him nowhere and he returned to his climb. The inner part of Caronia couldn't be far, from what he remembered of his first day. Within it he believed he might find some of his answers, and a start.

At the very peak of the mountain, hidden away in Tenebrae's previous den in the heart of Caronia, Jester sat vigil beside his dead leaders body. Unlike many, he knew, he was deeply saddened by the great warrior's passing. Tenebrae was the one who had brought him in as an exil from Pelendava and eventually made him his second in command. Everything he had in Caronia, was because of him. They had always been close, well, as close as an evil dictator and his second in command could be. And despite his temporarily divided loyalties, where Frill had come in between him Caronia, he had always maintained a large amount of respect and loyalty towards his leader.

So here he sat, mourning silently beside the body of his mentor... and friend.

niernen followed kyra thinking "I wonder who that dragon was and why he attacked me over those deer"

Once they were in Kyra's den, she directed him to the same area where Brisingur had stayed before. "Sit." She instructed before hurrying into a second area.
