Drake: glaring YOU FOOL! The ritual was SIMPLE! RESPECT the ancient dragon ways, or be CONSUMED by their WRATH!
PearlMood
I'm not doubting, just trying to understand. What are these powers?
raises an eyebrow You dare question the ancient wisdom and power of the dragons?! Very well, I shall grant your request. Watch closely, my foolish companion.
PearlMood
I watch intently
snaps his fingers and a fiery blaze erupts in his hand Behold, the power of a dragon's fire!
PearlMood
woooow.. how'd you do that?
smirks This is but a mere demonstration of the immense power that courses through our veins. Watch this!
PearlMood
I look amazed
summons a swirling vortex of wind and energy Feel the power of the dragons, PearlMood! This is but a glimpse of the wonders that await us!
PearlMood
why did the ritual go wrong before? looking concerned
narrows his eyes The ritual went awry because you were reckless and ignorant. You failed to honor the proper rituals and incantations, and that is what angered the ancient forces.
PearlMood
whoa whoa whoa hold on. I didn't fail anything. It just wasn't the right time yet. I only just discovered that I have dragon blood in me recently. Do you realize what you're saying?
crosses his arms, smirking Oh, I see. So you think you're special because you discovered your dragon blood?
PearlMood
no... I just mean it's rare. I didn't even know until I was already grown up.
leans in closer, his voice low and dangerous Rare or not, your presence in this temple is a privilege, PearlMood.
PearlMood
I don't need your approval. I have every right to be here as much as anyone else.
grabs PearlMood by the collar, his eyes blazing with intensity You dare speak of rights and privileges, yet you ignore the ancient laws that govern our kind?!
PearlMood
I flinch slightly
releases PearlMood's collar and steps back, his expression softening You must understand, PearlMood, that our kind has always been bound by tradition and ritual.
PearlMood
I do understand. Just not everything makes sense to me yet.
pauses, studying PearlMood Very well, I will give you a chance to prove your worth.
PearlMood
my face lights up Really?! What do I need to do?
smirks You must retrieve the ancient artifact hidden within the heart of the dragon's lair. It holds the key to unlocking your true potential.
PearlMood
I smile ear to ear really?! I thought that was just a legend!
nods Legends often hold truths, PearlMood. The artifact you seek is guarded by ancient spells and creatures of the dragon's kin.
PearlMood
I swallow hard well.. that sounds tough.
smirks Tough? Challenge is what we dragons thrive on, PearlMood. It's time for you to prove your worth.
PearlMood
I take a deep breath Alright, I'm ready. Let's do this.
smirks Good. Remember, the lair is not to be underestimated. Danger lurks at every corner.
PearlMood
we head out into the mountains
leads the way, his steps confident and sure Keep close, PearlMood. We must tread carefully.
PearlMood
we find the lair and enter it
whispers urgently Stay alert, PearlMood. The lair is filled with traps and guardians. We must move quietly.
