Well this is... unusual. Um, welcome to--

Don't talk to me.

Oh. Well, I thought since you just arrived here and all that you might like to

I have no interest in mindless chatter. I am only here to rid myself of a particularly annoying thorn in my side.

Will you be having another clutch after this?

Only if Selene wishes. But I have faith in my descendants that they will continue to spread.

That's nice at least.


I have acquired a new mate. You should make room for more children, or else I will have to take care of the lesser dragons myself.

I saw. You don’t need to be so blunt towards her, you know.

I may act as I please. It is an honor to spread my bloodline. If she is unsuitable, I’ll need to cast her aside. Selene was up to the task. She doesn’t back down, and ensured that I never had to waste my time giving my descendants unneeded affection. If my new mate cannot handle things, I expect that you will not intervene.

If you say so. Speaking of which, when are you having your first nest?

After that aberration you call a Spiral is dealt with.

I actually wanted to talk to you about that. Do you mind?

You're better off not wasting my time. I want nothing to do with you and your ridiculous plans.


...So.

What.

I don't wish to disturb you, anymore at least. My computer can't take it when you're angry, I'm surprised it didn't break when... you know.

Unlike him, I do not find you amusing. I will not keep you around out of mercy. Now spit it out, or I will singlehandedly ruin this device.

Okay! I just wanted to ask if you still had plans to continue your bloodline?

I've had another clutch, haven't I?

Well, yes, but

Even when exalted, my spawn still bear my power. Their existence, however brief, has allowed me to grow stronger. We are all still here.

I understand.

For now, I will simply try to regain what I have lost. I will bring Selene back, no matter how long it takes. I will make sure that my newest heirs go to powerful clans, and that my mate knows her place. I will gather the various family members that reside here, so that we may gain strength in power. I will attempt to reconcile with Esrever, so that he does not make such an idiotic mistake again. With your thorn out of my side, I shall solidify myself as the sole leader of this clan.

I'm glad to see that you haven't given up on your goals.

In time, everything shall fall into place.


I have a proposition for you.

Save it. I have things to attend to that do not concern you.

Actually, I think they do.

Your power is great, but what you are trying to do takes time, if it even is possible in the first place.

Silverpelt60, this is not a negotiation. I will fry your device if that is what it takes for you to understand me.

Just listen! You take care of the stuff I can't, and I'll handle the cosmetics. I'll even find out what happened to her in the first place. Even if she's not entirely the same, it'll still be nice to have her back at least partly.



Humph. And what are your demands?

Talk to SmallOne. Your daughter from the second clutch. She wants to see you.

And what does she hope to gain from such a conversation? One would have thought after all that Esrever and Virus went through, the rest would have realized my stance on my children.

Yeah yeah, you're a horrible dad, I get it. Personally, I don't get why she wants to talk to you at all. But I think it would make her really happy.

I shall agree to your terms, but do not let your guard down, Silverpelt60. Just because we have made one negotiation does not mean that I have forgiven you for all the trouble you've caused. As long as 26 remains in your lair, you and I are at odds.

Do I make myself clear?

Crystal.
