Naphero

Jakia: It's happening again
Honjo: I know. This is the second year we participated. All the dragons seem more and more energized. And it's only on this day too.
Jakia: Even our scribe is very energetic, writing down this conversation like there's no tomorrow.
Honjo: I think it's natural. We will send troops to the Woodland Path to see if there's anything going on there. Naphero, you got that?
Naphero: I wrote down everything you both said, sire.
Honjo: Good. Who should we send out?
Jakia: Maybe Naphero can fight for once? He did do some fighting in his life before retiring.
Honjo: Hmm. Naphero?
Naphero: Yes, sire?
Honjo: I want you to organize a 3-dragon group to go fighting. You will be in that fighting group, understand?
Naphero: Yes your highness.

Naphero: Gemmie, are you sure you want to go through with this? There will be an immediate reaction after the-
Gemmie: DO IT! I WILL NOT WAIT AROUND ANY LONGER!
Poison: This will be permanent, just so you know..
Gemmie: Look, just do it. I think I will get through it.. no matter the pain.
Naphero: ...Alright.

Poison: I set up the tincture for you, Gemmie. It will take everything you gained away. Knowing the way you think, you should be able to get stronger.
Gemmie: Alright.
Poison: Now, don't panic, okay?
Gemmie: Okay- AAAAAAAAAAAA
Naphero: Gemmie!
Gemmie: I... I feel weak..
Poison: Then it worked. All we need you to do now is-
Gemmie: *Low growling*
Naphero: I think she did her part.
Poison: I think so too. Cm'on Gemmie, Naphero.

My mind, in a stray
All of us, in a fray
Where we all stand, we watch
As our enemies fall
Though, through the battles,
I feel watched
By something not visible to eyes that can't see them
Something might grasp me
If I'm not careful

Gemmie: Look at the many foods we got!
Poison: Honjo is going to be so proud of us!
Naphero: At least we opened some strange chests
Poison: Yeah, let's do the same thing tomorrow.

Poison: Mornin' lads.
Gemmie: Both of you, you prepared today?
Naphero: Yep. Let's head out, we haven't got time to lose!

Gemmie: Restless we stand! Insomnia shall not scare us-
Poison: Naphero, what's that next to you?
Naphero: My new pet. I call him Devious.
Poison: ... That's a scroll stealer.
Naphero: Well, who cares, I like him.

Poison: Naphero, can me and Gemmie talk ALONE?
Naphero: ...
Poison: Thank you.
Poison: (whispering, behind a tree) Naphero'e been acting... strange recently.
Gemmie: (whispering, behind a tree) I know. There's something wrong with him.
Poison: (whispering, behind a tree) Especially now with that new.. apparel piece. I'm guessing that insanity is taking him over.
Naphero: (silently) Why..?
Poison: AAA! NAPHERO I SAID-
Gemmie: ... I guess he heard us..
Naphero: ...

oh wow, Naphero becomes a statue made of gold, but you look closer and see that he has absolutely tiny knives for scales, claws and the fur along his spine. He is smiling under his golden bird mask.
