[ Given everything that 76 has learned in the past few days, there's no doubt in his mind that he needs to inform the rest of the refugees about what might be coming. That bandit seems to have been telling the truth, or maybe what 76 saw up on Namarak Mountain was staged, but that seems like way too much work for no real gain that he can foresee.

Enough of the details have checked out that a warning seems necessary. Only a few of the refugee group had actually been on the missions to transport the heart and the skull, and there's no telling that all of them learned what he did.

While this is his first time posting on the network, 76 doesn't introduce himself, but just gets right down to business. Who he is isn't really important here. ]

Word probably got around that Nithor's skull and Ysverai's heart were being transported back to Olympia and Wyver, respectively. Well, things didn't really go as planned. Both caravans got attacked on the way by a group of bandits. I managed to chase down one of them and question him. He was surprisingly forthcoming.

Assuming he was telling the truth, and that's seeming more and more likely at this point, it was the heart that they were really after. These bandits are part of the same group responsible for the abductions, and they took Ysverai's heart up to Namarak Mountain to perform a ritual.

Apparently, that ritual was to revive Ysevrai, and if you've seen some of the skeletons of the old dragons, you know what that means.

I went up to the mountain to see if I could interrupt the ritual, but it was already over and cleared out by the time that I got there. I did find a cryptic note that looked like it was written in blood. It said "He Shall Rise Again."

According to the radical I interrogated, this dragon could mean the end of Olympia and Wyver and everything else. I don't know how much I believe that, but we need to be ready for anything. If you've seen anything, let me know. If you have questions, I can try to answer them, but this is most of what I know.

[ Not everything, though. There's one detail he's still sitting on. But Wyver family drama isn't something he wants to report to all of the other refugees, aware of what kind of unrest that could cause among the natives. ]

This just keeps getting more and more tiresome.

That all the info you got?

See?! This is why I wanted to kill all of those guys. Let that be a lesson to everyone!

Fastest fucking ritual I've ever heard of. Next time we all know there's a lunatic cult running half the known world, let's leave lookouts at their headquarters.

[ Sighs for one million years. Can't these people just take up knitting. ]

Did you happen to read any of the stories in Khalo?

I don't know very much about the history of Wyver or Olympia. What have you heard about Ysevrai? If he needed to be revived, it means he was killed before.

Always wanted to slay a dragon. If that is what is coming, I will meet it. I am not afraid.

But beyond that, I worry that the rulers will use this to pin it on the other side. War has been narrowly avoided so far. This might just spark it.

[ Well he guesses there's no point hiding it if it can't be contained, but still. This is bound to get people riled up. ]

Guess we're going full horror movie then. I've had a few differing leads point me back toward Khalo so I'm going to hang out there. It might be that we can flush some of them out and see if there's still a way to contain this.

On the bright side, I finally got a decent gun if anything large and fast moving needs shooting down.

[for a heartbeat Enjolras is angry because this dragon will ruin the chance for better, more democratic governments. thankfully a heartbeat later he recognises that it's the people and cities themselves that have to take precedence here.]

The rulers of both cities should be informed. I am willing to address the Wyverian king, is there another who'll speak to the Empress in Olympia? Plans must be made to prepare for the eventuality that the dragon is raised and turned against the people living in these cities.

[ He agrees with the first comment; this honestly is getting tiresome, and he tries so hard not to believe in much of anything, but it's getting difficult. ]

Ah, that does sound foreboding, doesn't it? I have little faith in rituals, but if it were to be true, who or what do we suppose their radical views are against? They must oppose something. It seems as though this group cares nothing for Wyver or Olympia if they're willing to see both in ruin. In the past, the cities have opposed one another.

[Oh man. Seriously?]

Oh my god I called it.

[He really did.]

Time to hope we have some dragon slayers in our numbers.

[ Having traveled in the transport to Olympia, she was already aware of the attack by bandits. Whilst other allies tended to those who meant to steal, she remained with the caravan, far better suited in providing another set of eyes. That was the last of what she'd heard, the bandits driven off and their allies returning. But this? ]

They believe it possible to revive a skeleton?

[ Were it to be true, Balerion could have been revived, had they saved his heart. Any of the great dragons of the Targaryen family could have been. Viserion could have been. ]

The dead have risen in my world, but there was no need for a heart to accomplish this, nor blood magic to my knowledge. I'd never heard mention of the Night King using blood to accomplish what he had.

These radicals, though. Have you heard of those involved with the other groups escaping? To my knowledge, those involved with my group were all slain.

Was the 'he' in this note referring to the leader of this particular group of misfits? I spoke to a bandit who claimed her leader was quite interested in regaining what he considered to be rightfully his.

...well that's ominous as shit.

I missed a lot when I was gone, but why the hell are people tryin' to destroy the world?? We all live here, so isn't that kind of stupid?

A dragon? A truly undead dragon? Luckily, you have both a slayer and necromancer in your midst, but I can't say I'm looking forward to it.

Edited (doh) 2018-06-05 22:20 (UTC)

There's nothing wrong with everyone being prepared for the worst-case scenario. I'm happy to offer a hand, of course.

Maybe I'll be more useful than being a bodyguard for transport.

That's certainly dire news. Notes written in blood seldom herald anything good. Can you describe the ritual site to me? Often there's at least an attempt to control whatever's being revived.

So we could be dealing with a dragon on top of everything else?

Thank you for all of the information.
