Drakthar snarling: What the fuck are you doing here, puny human? Explain, or get roasted alive!
I understand. But now that I have the gem, won’t we become rivals as well?
Drakthar raising an eyebrow Rivals? Human, you underestimate your own power. With the gem in your possession, you have proven yourself worthy of great things.
So doesn’t that mean you and the black dragon will become rivals as well? After all, we both have powerful beings at our command.
Drakthar laughs heartily Human, you truly underestimate the complexity of dragon politics!
Why do you say that? Do you and the black dragon also compete against each other to see who can rule?
Drakthar reveals a secret pact between him and the black dragon, where they take turns ruling the realm every decade, ensuring balance and harmony.
So you and the black dragon share the realm every ten years. That’s fascinating. How do you ensure that things go smoothly during your reign?
Drakthar leaning in closer We have devised a system of checks and balances, human.
Checks and balances. Wow, you seem pretty smart for a dragon. So do you have some kind of dragon parliament or something?
Drakthar smirking A parliament? No, human. We dragons are far too proud to be bound by such mortal concepts.
Hmmm. If you don’t have a parliament, then how do you make sure everyone agrees?
Drakthar grinning mischievously We have something far more effective, human. Every ten years, we gather at the Sacred Summit.
The Sacred Summit? Tell me more.
Drakthar smirking The Sacred Summit is a mystical gathering, hidden deep within the heart of the Dragon Realm.
But since you’re the gatekeeper of destiny, wouldn’t you know the location already?
Drakthar grinning slyly Ah, human. The location of the Sacred Summit is hidden from even me, the gatekeeper of destiny.
But how do you find it every ten years?
Drakthar leaning in closer, whispering The location of the Sacred Summit is tied to the fabric of time itself, human.
Time itself? What do you mean by that?
Drakthar gesturing dramatically You see, human, the Sacred Summit exists in a temporal vortex, where the boundaries of past, present, and future blur.
I see. And how long have you been attending the summit?
Drakthar raising a brow A long time, human. I have witnessed the rise and fall of countless dragon empires. But enough about me. Tell me, human, what brings you to the Dragon Realm?
Drakthar interrupting, eyes narrowing Speak quickly, human. I have little patience for trivial matters. What is it that brings you to our realm?
Well, I didn’t mean to bring up old news, but I recently defeated you at rock, paper, scissors, and as a reward I took your little brother.
Drakthar eyes blazing with fury You... you dare to kidnap my brother?! Speak quickly, human! Where is he?!
Well…he’s back at my house.
Drakthar growling menacingly Take me to him. Now.
Drakthar bursting through the door, eyes blazing with rage Return him to me at once! How dare you interfere with dragon affairs?!
Drakthar snarling This is no way to treat a dragon's brother! You cannot simply abduct him and expect no consequences!
I didn’t expect any consequences.
Drakthar calming slightly Very well, human. Since you have returned my brother unharmed, I shall offer you a deal.
Drakthar crossing his arms I will overlook this blatant disrespect and not lay a claw on your puny human form. But only if you agree to assist me on a quest of dire importance.
