Chapter 4b - Investigations Elda had made up her mind, she was going to Palisade and her father could do nothing to stop her. The idea now though was not to go on any diplomatic visit, she wanted Kean back and if she could not get him, then she would find his killer. Only two days had passed before she set out with a royal escort consisting of two nobledragons, Dem and Watar, who would guard her all the way to Palisade and back. The whole event of Kean's death had sparked even more tension between the two fighting species, which put pressure on King Ormdag to try and step up the war further, but that would still not prevent Elda from setting

Chapter 4 – Investigations Kean leaving had sparked some curiosity in Elda for the torch he was looking for. Much of the time that passed while waiting for his return was spent on studying the old artifact and asking some of the elders about it. She could start to slowly puzzle some things together, and separate what was most likely just false information and which things about the old tales that seemed plausible. After only a few weeks since Kean's departure had she gathered enough information to hopefully help him. She only needed to confront her father first for assistance, and so she approached the great golden scaled dragon in hi

 “Heh… Did you hear that, Quill? He’s going to use the fire to bring peace and harmony.” Ike smiled as his back was leaning against the door behind him with his arms crossed. If Kean was trying to eavesdrop from the other side, then the skilled thief would most likely hear the dragon on the other side. “Yes yes, even the dragons’ young are naïve.” Quill sat down on one of the crates in the room, staring at the wall on the other side. “You were right, Ike. This is pure gambling. He’ll most likely not find it. But if he does, then we’ll be the first humans to see that old artifa

Leaving From where he was standing, Ike had a perfect view of the city he grew up in, Palisade, or the “wooden city” as it was also nicknamed by people from the east. He stood in one of the few tall buildings in the city, and first looked around at the different building below that surrounded the tower, and then his gaze moved over to the vast forest to the north and northwest. “You won’t find anyone to rob out there, Ike,” a female voice could be heard whispering behind the man. Ike turned around after recognizing the voice, and found the woman was still hanging from the ladder she had climbed up on to meet hi

Chapter 2: Survival "Don't be afraid, Kean.." The red dragon whispered those words quietly to himself. It was still night, and he had only been wandering the fields for two hours. From the cliffs and the mountains, the way to the human kingdom always looked simple, but the hilly area, combined with the lack of proper roads connecting the two kingdoms made the trek hard for the young traveller, who was now starting to get both hungry and tired. He wished that he had eaten that slab of meat back in the caves, and that he would have gotten some proper rest before heading out instead of just that quick nap. The thing that had caught his attentio

Prologue: The province of Drinder was known for its unnaturally quiet nights. While war waged on in most other parts of the continent, this land, dominated by humans in the east and dragons in the west, enjoyed an armistice of sorts, saying that no battles should take place during nights between the two species. In one of the caves to the west, an elderly serpent told stories to two youngling dragons. The dark cave was lit up faintly by the moon's shine, as the two young dragons eagerly sat, listening to the old one speaking. "Have you seen the towers of fire in the human city, little ones? A long time before I was born, we dragons could be
