(I apologize for the length as this is the second part in it's full form instead of broken up as I did the first part and will do the third and forth the same as part 2, with likely later breaking up into smaller pieces)

The next day came almost too soon. The night had been quiet with only a bit of clamor that had happened closer to midnight when Klarian had opened up for about three hours for business. Upon waking, everyone felt as refreshed as a daisy after a gentle shower. Everyone shared in a filling breakfast for free that consisted of several slices of toast with an egg in the middle, two plates of bacon, a plate of mini sausages, a bowl of mixed fruits, veggies and berries, and their choice of drink being milk, water, orange juice or a dark mixture resembling coffee.444Please respect copyright.PENANA40XbHjSjee
444Please respect copyright.PENANAFWuehWHaIH
After eating they made their way to the battle grounds, not having any incidents on the way there from the still sleeping towns people. When they arrived, the hardened ground had been cleared of obstacles except for a few rocks. There were ten stone columns in a wide circle. Outside this circle stands five stone seats, similar to bleachers one might see in a gymnasium. The group approached and spread out to look around the seemingly barren area of vegetation. "This is a pretty roomy setup." Ivan commented as he stepped inside the wall-less circle.444Please respect copyright.PENANAAEzNIGGMVJ
444Please respect copyright.PENANAuxukjGDFge
Klarian smirked with a small shrug. "Well of course it is. Gotta have room for full grown dragons and other large beasts to move around." He explained with a helpfulness to his tone as he walked with Ivan.444Please respect copyright.PENANAGv8b10qDT9
444Please respect copyright.PENANAoH1A6aYy40
"Oh," Ivan looked to Klarian as Amber walked by them. "So all participants take part because they want to?"444Please respect copyright.PENANA3fJ1v0dVq5
444Please respect copyright.PENANA5o8SjR64pe
"Given the lack of walls to keep anyone from running, that would make sense. Why else have an arena for battle without walls if you didn't ask people if they wanted to join in?" Amber questioned and Ivan nodded.444Please respect copyright.PENANA2euqljRk6K
444Please respect copyright.PENANAxLOvyqyVUV
Klarian chuckled as Amber then began to hum a tune that told many tales of war between humans and dragons for a metal throne of swords. "Something like that, one could say." He took a step forwards and folded his arms as he looked around then up at the brightening sky. While Amber was walking around humming her tune, Ivan noticed faint markings on one of the pillars so made his way over to where Faerthurin was to see if there was anything similar.444Please respect copyright.PENANAXWrruk4AEy
444Please respect copyright.PENANAGukEKuaLQr
During this, Kross admired one of the columns carvings while Jaylen caught a few more winks of sleep's in his messy hair. "Must have had a steady hand and put in a lot of time." He quietly said to himself before stretching and walking over to another one of the columns. Oin rubbed his chin as he surveyed the area. "Hmm...something feels off." He eyed one of the columns then looked to Jeminya who oddly Shiloh had decided to keep company currently. She ran her hand over the column with her face twisted in pondering. "You sense something off as well?" the dwarf asked as he made his way over to her.444Please respect copyright.PENANAUefUbAMWK5
444Please respect copyright.PENANAxZAGQsFeYL
Jeminya nodded. "Yes, but I'm not sure what exactly. There is something here so I think keeping our guard up is wise." She kept her voice quiet while glancing over to a relaxed Klarian.444Please respect copyright.PENANAwx7nUodG2f
444Please respect copyright.PENANAU6RI7a2fSR
"Agreed. There's something odd about these stones but I can't quite place what."444Please respect copyright.PENANAmHR1rKxMon
444Please respect copyright.PENANA6FItvoamy2
On the other side of the battle grounds, Ivan was checking out a column as Faerthurin was a couple pillars away with Lucid hopping about the top of the several foot tall pieces of stonework. Ivan circled the stone structure as his face twisted in curiosity. "Hmm this is unique." He eyed and touched the carvings as he stepped around the column again to see that it did circle around. He went to the one to his right and also checked it. "Same carvings..." he looked to the dark elf that was now a column away to his right. "Hey Rin, can you tell me if these are magical?"444Please respect copyright.PENANAT0echKjLjK
444Please respect copyright.PENANALrXEIRuvP3
"Huh?" Faerthurin looked and made her way over to Ivan with Lucid following and looking down on them, his head twisting left and right. "Now what are you asking about magic?"444Please respect copyright.PENANA8CNl2RNERT
444Please respect copyright.PENANAx5olpDZ8lq
"These marks right here." He pointed out the series of carvings which were gibberish to him.444Please respect copyright.PENANA6aSELL1ILi
444Please respect copyright.PENANAtJWxRnHbJu
Faerthurin's eyes widened as she eyed the marks over. How in the heck did I miss those? she wondered as she made her way around the column to see what Ivan had before swiftly making her way back to the pillar she had previously been boredly looking over. They match... she looked over to the left, right and behind her at the surrounding columns. I bet they also having matching symbols.444Please respect copyright.PENANAtz3xOYlmtn
444Please respect copyright.PENANAm8rdCl0R1X
"So are they used in magic?" Ivan inquired after a minute of silence.444Please respect copyright.PENANAR8VDmO1qJb
444Please respect copyright.PENANAd4E6GrVvBg
She looked the carvings over closer and nodded. "Yes, they are used in containment spells and enchantments to hold things in." She released a breath and folded her arms as she looked up the tall pillar. "There is a magic inside this one and likely the others as well, given how they share the same markings." She looked around and then to Ivan. "Which explains the lack of walls if this magic is indeed containment."444Please respect copyright.PENANAGqLIfww6Xf
Around one of the seating structures to the east walked Jalerom and Rose, checking out the way it appeared to be carved mostly out of stone with some wood used for some of the sitting area's. "How long do you think it took them to carve these?" the half elf inquired with a gaze to the party then to Rose when she spoke up.444Please respect copyright.PENANAJX3K7HGCYU
444Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2ItahlWH2
"Probably quite a bit of time. Say maybe a few days even with magic for all of them together." Rose put her hands behind her head as she spoke and looked up while turning her head to look towards a different set of seats. "Say...does any of this seem...a little off to you?" she questioned slowly before setting her sights on Jalerom.444Please respect copyright.PENANAL7dFfHX891
444Please respect copyright.PENANA5moWwmGrM1
He shrugged, "not really or well, maybe a little but not too much. I mean, this is another race's land after all."444Please respect copyright.PENANAjPgRqC9ctD
444Please respect copyright.PENANApAH4tXYkh2
"But why have an arena or area for battle without any solid walls? That puts the spectators at risk."444Please respect copyright.PENANAPw0hs6oVOy
444Please respect copyright.PENANA9S6LhuFhjC
"Maybe..." Jalerom pondered as he folded his arms and turned his head down some. "...Perhaps they know some kind of shield spells that are maintainable for the length of a standard fight?" he looked up to meet her kind orbs. "Maybe there's magic in place like what was on those collars back in the Directian dungeons."444Please respect copyright.PENANAeucX7weava
444Please respect copyright.PENANAyLLKcPMgPh
Rose sighed and lowered her arms. "Do you think they are still going to try enslaving us?"444Please respect copyright.PENANAcvXVnWaP35
444Please respect copyright.PENANA0hNXJLhd2G
The rogue shook his head. "I don't think so." He lifted his arms over his head and stretched. "So long as negotiations don't fall through, we should be perfectly safe and if things come to worse...we will just fight our way out as we run."444Please respect copyright.PENANAscuffwItOs
444Please respect copyright.PENANAZyYGrvfFxZ
Moments later, loud footfalls echoed and the ground trembled lightly before gradually growing stronger. As the one responsible neared closer, Jaylen hissed which drew curiosity from Kross as Jalerom, Faerthurin, Oin and Lucid looked towards the north west. "And I think we are about to maybe meet the owner." Jalerom commented. This brought Rose to look at him before following his line of sight, waiting anxiously.444Please respect copyright.PENANAfrkNAJObAP
444Please respect copyright.PENANAWsuU3dbbwU
Jeminya and Ivan were the next to look over. "Is this guy a giant?" Ivan quietly asked as he positioned his footing to stay up as the ground shook again.444Please respect copyright.PENANAHSW5NLX2hL
444Please respect copyright.PENANAl230xt2yj4
"Doubtful," Jeminya answered as she folded her arms and felt a nuzzle at her right by Starjay, making her by habit to gently stroke his nose with her left hand. "Given how we've mainly only seen reptile type creatures, I don't think we'll run into giants. There aren't even any giant slaves after all."444Please respect copyright.PENANACZZfgOCb15
444Please respect copyright.PENANAPlyLpBti4U
Rose's eyes widened as the owner neared closer. "What a magnificent dragon but...how did he get one of those?" she whispered aloud to herself.444Please respect copyright.PENANAL6XNL7MadT
444Please respect copyright.PENANA3t1pYh07rp
Jalerom turned his head towards her. "What was that? Do you know about black dragons?"444Please respect copyright.PENANALZv5etz8R7
444Please respect copyright.PENANAyVpntHJMlD
She nodded with her eyes remaining on the beast. "They are beasts that enjoy their solitude and being alone except during mating season. Their breath weapons are unlike any others."444Please respect copyright.PENANAIih89IUcWX
444Please respect copyright.PENANAQSxRzT2CG9
"What is their breath weapon?"444Please respect copyright.PENANANBlhkbSYw0
444Please respect copyright.PENANAarnDY0HeeX
"...I think I recall it being able to paralyze a target caught in their smoke." She replied flatly as her gaze then shifted to its rider.444Please respect copyright.PENANAycb3o7QjQn
444Please respect copyright.PENANA35k55i0W1g
Kross, Amber, Jaylen and Shiloh were the last to finally spy the new person. On the black dragon's back was an armored man, dressed somewhat in the style of a knight or general of an army. On his back flexed out wings of a dragon. His feet were not clad in armored boots but more the shinguard's came down over top of his scaled feet. The man, after the dragon stopped, straightened his back and his yellow scales could be seen on the tops of his feet, clawed hands, neck and around his face. His slit yellow eyes scrutinized the mixed group spread out. "Hmm...this is an interesting mix of creatures, now isn't it?"444Please respect copyright.PENANAKz4DRWlMlB
444Please respect copyright.PENANAMR89dAsV52
Klarian stepped forwards unfraid of the man. "Good morning, Devion." He came to a stop before giving a polite, yet sweeping, bow. "How are you this fine morning?" he inquired with a tone dripping with charm as he rose from the bow and flashed the armored dragon a grin.444Please respect copyright.PENANAdz3nSfkY6D
444Please respect copyright.PENANABzDZAMas3e
Devion dismounted as the dragon sat down. "I'm doing fine...half-breed." He flapped his wings a bit before landing as carefully as his words had been spoken. "Let's cut to the point, Klarian. How do you plan on any of these people getting your collateral freed from my hold?"444Please respect copyright.PENANAUbkCAzYhJo
444Please respect copyright.PENANANvjacZc1bm
Klarian opened his mouth to speak. "Excuse me, Devion was it?" he closed his mouth and looked to an approaching Kross. He watched the ranger with confusion. "We have come to ask you how exactly these battle grounds operate." Kross stated while motioning around the area, now standing beside Klarian. "We would also like to make a deal with you to settle dear Klarian's debt."444Please respect copyright.PENANA8K8Vt9Jmiy
444Please respect copyright.PENANAVN6A3mJ4Ae
Devion stayed silent with his eyes set on the saurian. "...How much do you wish to settle it for?"444Please respect copyright.PENANAYxDXrBmwrN
444Please respect copyright.PENANATQmmuWUrdY
Kross gave a confident smirk. "Down to zero and to have his brother set free."444Please respect copyright.PENANALeQl7M0emI
444Please respect copyright.PENANAwXT8GG6zAI
Silence filled the air around them as Kross and Devion stared each other down. After several moments, the air finally was broken. "The battle grounds work like any other arena intended for combat. Participants are pitted against one another and the last one left that is able to fight, wins." Devion then folded his arms. "He owes me at least seven thousand gold in failed bets." He shifted his weight to one side with a cocked hip. "I don't see it being settled especially," he motioned towards the group, "not from such a mixed party such as this miserable one."444Please respect copyright.PENANAFjVSo0Id53
444Please respect copyright.PENANAsU2jyYwk7W
Kross closed his eyes as his resting lips curled into a cocky smirk. "Heheheheh," he took a breath and opened his eyes to lock with Devion. "Try us."444Please respect copyright.PENANAfRzeHcJYTs
444Please respect copyright.PENANAZpI2r2HfND
The armored dragon man motioned at Kross with an curious look. "What makes you so sure?"444Please respect copyright.PENANAAyTY3nOyV8
444Please respect copyright.PENANAhdKTEjSdmh
"Because we've all faced many terrors and horrors before arriving here. I doubt you can throw anything at us that we can't handle."444Please respect copyright.PENANAfDQ1D7TFBu
444Please respect copyright.PENANAXqpOv5vzTK
Silence filled the air once more as Devion pondered this, rubbing his chin. His sharp orbs scanned the group one more time before resting on Kross. "Alright, I will accept your bet and here are the terms of our little deal." He cleared his throat. "If you win then I will erase his debt and release his brother, free as a bird. If you lose then his debt remains on the books and his brother in my cells." He approached Kross as he unfolded his arms. "Plus your party becomes part of my pets to use in combat as I see fit." He stopped in front of the ranger and offered a hand. "Do we have a deal?"444Please respect copyright.PENANArkvNE9Sh24
444Please respect copyright.PENANAuqOAorRXrP
"If we do this deal, some might not see their fathers or sisters again..." Amber quietly commented with a little bit of worry.444Please respect copyright.PENANAFMdES50D8T
444Please respect copyright.PENANAjFWXT8LXAk
Kross narrowed his gaze. "Think carefully on this." Faerthurin sternly warned.444Please respect copyright.PENANAhs3CIVPqLr
444Please respect copyright.PENANAX3CMwE4aus
"...Deal." Kross took Devion's hand, giving a firm shake.444Please respect copyright.PENANAlIYXJeRTtj
444Please respect copyright.PENANAFY0bZxoSt9
Devion chuckled smugly as they each released the others hand. "This should be fun. It's been some time since I last had fresh meat to use in battle." The black dragon loudly yawned from boredom and laid down outside the columns for a nap. "I am feeling generous so I will allow your group to pick two fighters to participate."444Please respect copyright.PENANAQT8LJzD3zH
444Please respect copyright.PENANAlhPnYqm57G
"Thank you for your kindness." Kross turned and made his way to the center while the others came to meet him. "Okay, so which two of us wants to fight against whatever he might send out?"444Please respect copyright.PENANAL49KNvWFUq
444Please respect copyright.PENANAqaRrKmMjYp
"That really depends on what he'll be using. Will it be his mount or something he has yet to bring out?" Faerthurin calmly questioned in her matter-of-fact way.444Please respect copyright.PENANA4aEFrML5wQ
444Please respect copyright.PENANANGusCOgFSe
"Good point..." Kross turned his head towards Devion. "Hey! What kind of beast are you planing to use?"444Please respect copyright.PENANAXXeGbX0RNp
444Please respect copyright.PENANAMFBRXi5S55
The armored man stood taller with his arms refolding. "Nothing bad...just my 'special' pet for such a special occasion."444Please respect copyright.PENANAnsU6TIXkCk
444Please respect copyright.PENANA8SCqZzZKz4
"Well that was sure helpful." Jalerom sarcastically responded.444Please respect copyright.PENANA9IUfp2fCYL
444Please respect copyright.PENANAkIrJPaXPd1
"At least we know he isn't going to use his black dragon." Ivan pointed out both assured yet concerned simultaneously. "So there's one good thing."444Please respect copyright.PENANAQiSQRx6l8D
444Please respect copyright.PENANAG3hkiTNUnk
Faerthurin sighed. "That still doesn't exactly help us decide who would stand a chance at victory."444Please respect copyright.PENANA81qnnc9Jup
444Please respect copyright.PENANAgMc4R6nhGl
Oin cleared his throat. "If we must simply outlast his pet, then perhaps I have a suggestion. How about Amber and myself take this fight?"444Please respect copyright.PENANAMNnXGEecxu
444Please respect copyright.PENANA31enkLNyk0
"Oh yea, we do have the best armor." Amber perked up.444Please respect copyright.PENANAwSeisVGM0h
444Please respect copyright.PENANAfEHDfGodKH
"Also we both have a decent track record of taking damage longer than the rest of you." Oin finished before looking over from Amber to the red horned queen.444Please respect copyright.PENANA45L1Z4xLP4
444Please respect copyright.PENANASBOyNH8BAJ
Jeminya huffed lightly as she put her hands on her hips. "Well excuse us for not being a walking cannonball." She retorted with a small smirk forming from Oin's response.444Please respect copyright.PENANA2pNtnXnOeP
444Please respect copyright.PENANAjPrZjeitvC
Oin grumbled and looked away from their leader. "Anyways," he looked to Amber. "Are you ready to go?"444Please respect copyright.PENANAVNh0T5IkUN
444Please respect copyright.PENANAPXg4uuJaQI
"Ready as ever." Amber nodded firmly with determination. "Let's reunite this split family!"444Please respect copyright.PENANAbGdBiQfc7V
444Please respect copyright.PENANAOTJRFNNk2p
Devion yawned while shifting his weight to his other hip and unfolding his arms. "Are you lot done deciding on which two will represent your fate?" the party turned and nodded with Oin and Amber stepping up. "Good," he motioned to the seating. "The rest of you may sit and watch your freedom slip away."444Please respect copyright.PENANAgqw5780ATX
444Please respect copyright.PENANASDPiwwWeUs
"Good luck Amber! I know you got this!" Ivan encouraged as he quickly gave her a tight hug.444Please respect copyright.PENANA6qbkkOEd2u
444Please respect copyright.PENANA9MNP7kgUYy
"Thanks!" the golden dragon replied confidently with her own return of the embrace.444Please respect copyright.PENANAsmJ1N3UuKU
444Please respect copyright.PENANA9DHJrytG9U
"Come on Ivan, you can hug your love interest after she wins." Rose called out and Ivan broke the hug, and gave a quick wave as he ran over to the stone bleachers to join the rest of the party. Once it was just he and the duo, Devion looked back over his shoulder and gave a whistle. The black dragon shifted its tail and thumped it hard on the ground once before going back to sleep.444Please respect copyright.PENANAe1M6YeOUVv
444Please respect copyright.PENANAezKBM7ReL0
Amber stretched her arms above her head before twisting her body left then right. "This feels like the first fire elves trial." She looked to Oin as she brought her arms down. "What do you think we're facing?"444Please respect copyright.PENANAd6nKhpdTLL
444Please respect copyright.PENANAOt4PtrQkb6
"No idea but if it follows the same rules, even if killing is allowed, we just need to incapacitated it and we win. Shouldn't be too hard with my spells and your size." Oin answered as his neck cracked when he tilted his head left and right.444Please respect copyright.PENANASP3xxZ0Ikx
444Please respect copyright.PENANA1FLKCRPXGT
She nodded with a smile. "Yea, there isn't anything we can't do when we buff me up, hehe."444Please respect copyright.PENANAehlE7Nf8wY
444Please respect copyright.PENANASTdNne8uzO
Shortly after that, the ground lightly trembled as a large beast came into view. It was making its way to the battle grounds while being lead on a chain by a silver scaled male. As it got closer, it was clear to see it stood about six foot five and was covered in white fur to resemble a wolf. When it came to a stop, it looked to measure around fourteen feet in length as it lowered down, stretched out its tail and snarled at the duo. The scaled man removed the chain and quickly made his way out of the combat zone.444Please respect copyright.PENANA0y0SOWVUpb
444Please respect copyright.PENANA2tP5OxnVaT
Devion stood proudly beside the snarling beast and stroked its side. "Magnificent, isn't he? He did cost a good bit of coin but I think it was worth it."444Please respect copyright.PENANApGs4JcKkE6
444Please respect copyright.PENANAqJfpHBSlmy
The party stared in shock at the sight with some having their jaws dropped. "What in the world is that thing?" Faerthurin questioned while mentally noting the dragon horns on its head and the way its pupils narrowed similar to a dragons.444Please respect copyright.PENANAPsiJZQgwDN
444Please respect copyright.PENANA5lYuQVQ2wW
Rose couldn't tear her gaze away while her mind went through all she knew about animals. "...I don't know. I can't remember anything that fits it completely." She scanned it over again to notice the spikes on the top of its tail and the talon looking claws. "The fur and claws are fitting for an arctic type wolf but the size and other features fit more with a dragon race." After a moment more, Rose lowered her head slightly and her tone of voice fell into one of great displeasure. "I don't think this creature was made naturally by nature."444Please respect copyright.PENANABG7hJEWgBU
444Please respect copyright.PENANAmem53xq5TU
Faerthurin sighed and started using one of her skills. "I'll see then if there's anything I can figure out about it."444Please respect copyright.PENANAUMAY7BnZ9J
444Please respect copyright.PENANA7EIEMeJ1V8
On the battle grounds Devion patted the side of the beast. "Do you all like it? I call it Dragof, since that reflects both sides of him."444Please respect copyright.PENANAJgiNRea7HH
444Please respect copyright.PENANAkLqq1WWaj8
"What do you mean 'both sides of him'?" Oin asked firmly.444Please respect copyright.PENANA9o6rpASh9C
444Please respect copyright.PENANARnHpKqhgXA
"You'll find out," he glanced over towards the focusing dark elf, "sooner or later I would suspect." He smirked as her inspecting gaze turned into a glare upon him of disgust. "Now then, the rules are simple." He began as he set his sights on Oin and Amber. "There will be no magic allowed but natural skills are permitted."444Please respect copyright.PENANAdj9Bm2rP5i
444Please respect copyright.PENANA9dAV0Piz1b
"What?!" the shout erupted in unison from the bleachers with Kross having stood up with Ivan.444Please respect copyright.PENANAcJpFkSdRbn
444Please respect copyright.PENANAkrf7vXXVRs
"Hey!" Kross snapped, drawing Devion to look over calmly. "Why did you leave that part out when I asked earlier?!"444Please respect copyright.PENANAQYeWoIVR4Q
444Please respect copyright.PENANAWxshc6fZp2
"You didn't ask about the rules. You simply asked about the battle grounds." The owner calmly stated with a smug shrug.444Please respect copyright.PENANAeACYAEqB8V
444Please respect copyright.PENANASnudJcj28q
Kross growled with his jaw tense. "You knew exactly what I meant by that question."444Please respect copyright.PENANAfrX8hWURvZ
444Please respect copyright.PENANAhm9mXQTNKK
The dark elf rubbed the bridge of her nose with her eyes closed. "Kross, just sit down now. He's not worth your energy...not right now at least."444Please respect copyright.PENANAnAJBj4gNjb
444Please respect copyright.PENANA9v0DbtF6Eg
"We can rub it in his face later when his little trick backfires." Rose added and looked over to a concerned Ivan. "You too. Amber will be fine." The two males slowly sat down displeased and worried.444Please respect copyright.PENANAxeyLe3ezrg
444Please respect copyright.PENANA3CIbeMwMh5
Amber gulped nervous after hearing the 'no magic' rule. "I think we might be in trouble."444Please respect copyright.PENANAjHwTyKh1UE
444Please respect copyright.PENANArmHaBC1GW8
"We'll get through this. We've gotten through fights before without using buffs and we will again." Oin calmly replied as he readied for battle.444Please respect copyright.PENANA7mSf0RhdIC
444Please respect copyright.PENANAVem9Q1DflJ
The owner gave his beast another stroke. "Have fun and you may have a tiny treat during this fight." He walked away from Dragof to stand outside of the columns. He lifted his hand into the air. "Ready?" his hand began to glow along with each column's carved symbols. "Begin!" simultaneously as his hand dropped with his words, magic shot from one column into the next, flashing at the end after the transparent walls had been set.444Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9YlnIv8Bw
444Please respect copyright.PENANAMNXoYMzg87
Once the fight began, Fae was glaring daggers at Devion with a deep frown on her face. Ivan and Rose looked away from the battle and at Faerthurin. "Um are you okay? You look more annoyed than normal." Ivan inquired.444Please respect copyright.PENANAPDCUMxVYWT
444Please respect copyright.PENANA4S2CGjiKpp
"What have you found out Rin?"444Please respect copyright.PENANAA9jK2SXp30
444Please respect copyright.PENANAjRNEl9KOqn
"That beast was not naturally made but was created by force." Faerthurin's tone was low as she tensely answered.444Please respect copyright.PENANAKxN3y4Mp1t
444Please respect copyright.PENANAM61SV7HSs1
"By force? What do you mean?" Ivan questioned.444Please respect copyright.PENANA3gwe1XUGGp
444Please respect copyright.PENANAJMieWo8DQg
This talk soon grabbed Jeminya's ear. She turned left towards the trio. "What's this now about force?"444Please respect copyright.PENANA9TPBx6KcUx
444Please respect copyright.PENANASSd4yAE8FV
"I asked Rin if she could figure anything out about Dragof since I couldn't recall anything to pin down its species." Rose explained as Jeminya looked to her.444Please respect copyright.PENANAaLMe9a4Hu1
444Please respect copyright.PENANAkA1D7ZRE6D
Jeminya frowned and looked to Faerthurin. "Have you concluded what type of magic was involved?"444Please respect copyright.PENANAXiZdnuY39M
444Please respect copyright.PENANA6DgePdKOYs
Faerthurin nodded softly. "Someone used ritual magic to make that...thing."444Please respect copyright.PENANAzOLNJ0U2BX
444Please respect copyright.PENANAjG8YvGVmDE
"Well that's troubling as I thought ritual magic was banned." Jeminya stated while lightly folding her arms.444Please respect copyright.PENANAs9ZYiQ4jm1
444Please respect copyright.PENANAxUBqgS8t0n
"Troubled?" Jalerom blinked as he turned around in his seat. "What's troubling? The fight just started and I think they can take it."444Please respect copyright.PENANALxrqz37mlx
444Please respect copyright.PENANAqCWWpixqDf
Ivan shook his head. "That animal was made using banned magic."444Please respect copyright.PENANAbMnGcjaadO
444Please respect copyright.PENANA3exmYP0xvf
The rogue turned his attention to Faerthurin. "What?"444Please respect copyright.PENANAc8d3DlIMMa
444Please respect copyright.PENANAHQgNg674Kv
She took a breath and sighed. "Someone fused an arctic wolf and a dragon together using ritual magic. That type of practice was banned because most times those used were in a constant state of suffering." She set her orbs on Dragof.

"That is definitely not a good thing." Jalerom turned his attention back to the battle. "But they should still be able to beat it, right? And maybe if it is in pain then we can put it out of its misery."444Please respect copyright.PENANAehetgvyFuG

Rose tensed at hearing all this and her fingers curled into tightly gripped fists. Shiloh at her side quietly whined and nuzzled her as he placed his head into her lap. "I don't think I want us to work with this race anymore."444Please respect copyright.PENANAsrTidbHE43

Kross lightly cleared his throat. "We don't even know if the yellow dragons were the ones who used that type of spell."444Please respect copyright.PENANAuXe6sPIT4V
