(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.721Please respect copyright.PENANA1NV3jQ9TBh
721Please respect copyright.PENANA5OKoC7bNn2
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANApNQ5MRsWlC
721Please respect copyright.PENANAMEJ4jr0PCi
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANA60cDMn9hsW
721Please respect copyright.PENANA74UpZ8cAZu
"Oh," Ivan looked to Klarian as Amber walked by them. "So all participants take part because they want to?"721Please respect copyright.PENANAn8lA1HAmAR
721Please respect copyright.PENANAPdQaVpxy9T
"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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAkrV3kWFXVP
721Please respect copyright.PENANAEPFPMscvBR
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAvzof4L0IWp
721Please respect copyright.PENANAnR19Xi1HPZ
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANA9MzxKEiw3D
721Please respect copyright.PENANA5b12wDrnku
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAvelnbzr0D9
721Please respect copyright.PENANAAlmU0QNrAh
"Agreed. There's something odd about these stones but I can't quite place what."721Please respect copyright.PENANAJAV0Js1x9a
721Please respect copyright.PENANAvJbu1KnPso
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?"721Please respect copyright.PENANA5JGe45pTFK
721Please respect copyright.PENANA0pQe68QT4m
"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?"721Please respect copyright.PENANA0KIutChjip
721Please respect copyright.PENANAPKkL0wJvQt
"These marks right here." He pointed out the series of carvings which were gibberish to him.721Please respect copyright.PENANA1WHDdK61q6
721Please respect copyright.PENANA3CiRprHTSB
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANA9mlQAiUp6O
721Please respect copyright.PENANAw5Xc8yNEza
"So are they used in magic?" Ivan inquired after a minute of silence.721Please respect copyright.PENANAaEhhWSn0uo
721Please respect copyright.PENANAdoxNbRToeY
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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAlMLCtVoc8S
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANArvXw7ZLOhu
721Please respect copyright.PENANAyXiJkfWMO0
"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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAlcR6ax7E3M
721Please respect copyright.PENANAteLazXGxBA
He shrugged, "not really or well, maybe a little but not too much. I mean, this is another race's land after all."721Please respect copyright.PENANAjzIzkOzYyl
721Please respect copyright.PENANAg9f5b73kgJ
"But why have an arena or area for battle without any solid walls? That puts the spectators at risk."721Please respect copyright.PENANAFfpnPMHrLo
721Please respect copyright.PENANA6BRsc8e1pI
"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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAMPkMpW08Zr
721Please respect copyright.PENANAGWYcOyZvw9
Rose sighed and lowered her arms. "Do you think they are still going to try enslaving us?"721Please respect copyright.PENANAecfAEOhOK7
721Please respect copyright.PENANAmQ9dK3u0uv
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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAM6J7jXo8IT
721Please respect copyright.PENANAua7vuCPOXI
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAa3JuOtqvHp
721Please respect copyright.PENANALHiyOxO4R7
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAeuWJIwHZsi
721Please respect copyright.PENANA2QmaFWyel6
"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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAaQQzOm2HJl
721Please respect copyright.PENANA2iyIh1gX3q
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAGuE01mH1hx
721Please respect copyright.PENANABiOsB2S0Ht
Jalerom turned his head towards her. "What was that? Do you know about black dragons?"721Please respect copyright.PENANAMX34BN1KBW
721Please respect copyright.PENANAR12ZawwoXE
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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAuyfXsQGCbP
721Please respect copyright.PENANAmKynfMFiYE
"What is their breath weapon?"721Please respect copyright.PENANAgy6T8pF5vc
721Please respect copyright.PENANA9IjRSkS2yp
"...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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAMfwYppNp6g
721Please respect copyright.PENANAU7mlUAyii3
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?"721Please respect copyright.PENANAUNDERJJAv8
721Please respect copyright.PENANAfKTGTjuwee
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAs5Lb8gcAtt
721Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1GItMLWsF
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?"721Please respect copyright.PENANAVFuGWkqCkP
721Please respect copyright.PENANA0SrQ0TXEVp
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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAMS6uo36iNi
721Please respect copyright.PENANARRvv5vprZx
Devion stayed silent with his eyes set on the saurian. "...How much do you wish to settle it for?"721Please respect copyright.PENANA2xBRp0yACs
721Please respect copyright.PENANApYVgu2y7dp
Kross gave a confident smirk. "Down to zero and to have his brother set free."721Please respect copyright.PENANA0SEVpxoOwN
721Please respect copyright.PENANAnIAeue1KXG
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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAPAIJ9bPiYJ
721Please respect copyright.PENANArWzAvL7j8c
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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAKCZeaugnpK
721Please respect copyright.PENANA1dTLE75cq2
The armored dragon man motioned at Kross with an curious look. "What makes you so sure?"721Please respect copyright.PENANAuLTeVcNrLK
721Please respect copyright.PENANAPtcwzqjXI7
"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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAXaKZuUqX7J
721Please respect copyright.PENANAz5I9BPDheP
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?"721Please respect copyright.PENANA3iBtklE6Zv
721Please respect copyright.PENANABw7R6DWnbH
"If we do this deal, some might not see their fathers or sisters again..." Amber quietly commented with a little bit of worry.721Please respect copyright.PENANAOSGthaCqOt
721Please respect copyright.PENANAxNfhVomdmp
Kross narrowed his gaze. "Think carefully on this." Faerthurin sternly warned.721Please respect copyright.PENANAW2UZsZySpm
721Please respect copyright.PENANAqW9D2hzqCV
"...Deal." Kross took Devion's hand, giving a firm shake.721Please respect copyright.PENANAOJvK8frsHX
721Please respect copyright.PENANA9dRrY4Kcg4
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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAA00601Q4lA
721Please respect copyright.PENANAQQjrOHjJpg
"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?"721Please respect copyright.PENANAj0bqeHymKu
721Please respect copyright.PENANA3O5nUKbXd6
"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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAsKG5aHDncs
721Please respect copyright.PENANAr3dFX9KV0F
"Good point..." Kross turned his head towards Devion. "Hey! What kind of beast are you planing to use?"721Please respect copyright.PENANAJtmIhJgl6C
721Please respect copyright.PENANAIX45iNkctf
The armored man stood taller with his arms refolding. "Nothing bad...just my 'special' pet for such a special occasion."721Please respect copyright.PENANARWFiEdq8zM
721Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ftif1pXg5
"Well that was sure helpful." Jalerom sarcastically responded.721Please respect copyright.PENANAHv1aXRkPiY
721Please respect copyright.PENANAj9eqOOriMa
"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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAjI1B6HnckZ
721Please respect copyright.PENANAs1UtgzkSLD
Faerthurin sighed. "That still doesn't exactly help us decide who would stand a chance at victory."721Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ85IDbPBj
721Please respect copyright.PENANAHuYVLGLXdN
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?"721Please respect copyright.PENANA01djpZtWrf
721Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ8J4l8R3L
"Oh yea, we do have the best armor." Amber perked up.721Please respect copyright.PENANALMMjJ3CjvA
721Please respect copyright.PENANAvjOBAeZ5w1
"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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAGpIQswcx0l
721Please respect copyright.PENANAPU1eacJ53L
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANATBDGVh3ipi
721Please respect copyright.PENANAQc4iXuFmqJ
Oin grumbled and looked away from their leader. "Anyways," he looked to Amber. "Are you ready to go?"721Please respect copyright.PENANAFkVrqZKeKT
721Please respect copyright.PENANAyB1jFUrMsD
"Ready as ever." Amber nodded firmly with determination. "Let's reunite this split family!"721Please respect copyright.PENANAPer1T6Q9rz
721Please respect copyright.PENANATRqJGjac47
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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAY9zqyP1UCn
721Please respect copyright.PENANAAzD7OltjSE
"Good luck Amber! I know you got this!" Ivan encouraged as he quickly gave her a tight hug.721Please respect copyright.PENANAdDWkIctcN3
721Please respect copyright.PENANAiCblUA1H8J
"Thanks!" the golden dragon replied confidently with her own return of the embrace.721Please respect copyright.PENANAFxelAjmOMW
721Please respect copyright.PENANA64n6aqJUdA
"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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAdfiH3cCE36
721Please respect copyright.PENANAR4e2jtEDFr
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?"721Please respect copyright.PENANAyFYnJzqBws
721Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0DblV1qnV
"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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAyTCdqQDJPZ
721Please respect copyright.PENANAhMf1TdeUPC
She nodded with a smile. "Yea, there isn't anything we can't do when we buff me up, hehe."721Please respect copyright.PENANAIRpvwEeWi0
721Please respect copyright.PENANAaBqlShceDv
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANA8MouetgoV9
721Please respect copyright.PENANAi0dddYxIVr
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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAceviCnq1o5
721Please respect copyright.PENANAxvuqlBLpsB
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANA56M4mL7oFS
721Please respect copyright.PENANAeU5Cg2JQXy
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."721Please respect copyright.PENANARtkNnwtD2W
721Please respect copyright.PENANABIkdybL5HS
Faerthurin sighed and started using one of her skills. "I'll see then if there's anything I can figure out about it."721Please respect copyright.PENANAzIcCXAL1Fz
721Please respect copyright.PENANAVthjLbGtAt
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."721Please respect copyright.PENANASvUcmX5dAq
721Please respect copyright.PENANAtopvBQLiM3
"What do you mean 'both sides of him'?" Oin asked firmly.721Please respect copyright.PENANAMYlwSTKhVl
721Please respect copyright.PENANAwUlBqRpMZc
"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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAKK0Lr7ekiu
721Please respect copyright.PENANAlbuKmCGXqt
"What?!" the shout erupted in unison from the bleachers with Kross having stood up with Ivan.721Please respect copyright.PENANA09YN3Dhhlx
721Please respect copyright.PENANAUDiy5z5l78
"Hey!" Kross snapped, drawing Devion to look over calmly. "Why did you leave that part out when I asked earlier?!"721Please respect copyright.PENANAtWmG0tNOjA
721Please respect copyright.PENANAySDEbcnBWg
"You didn't ask about the rules. You simply asked about the battle grounds." The owner calmly stated with a smug shrug.721Please respect copyright.PENANANB6m4YwiYq
721Please respect copyright.PENANACU11JF9C28
Kross growled with his jaw tense. "You knew exactly what I meant by that question."721Please respect copyright.PENANAoiKowkCRq6
721Please respect copyright.PENANAeJKTpoEyjS
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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAznFG47VjkI
721Please respect copyright.PENANAuuPZgyaBYz
"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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAUwB2cvTO1e
721Please respect copyright.PENANA3j6mGsijku
Amber gulped nervous after hearing the 'no magic' rule. "I think we might be in trouble."721Please respect copyright.PENANAfq5Pr9COeh
721Please respect copyright.PENANAKWdqaUlvzS
"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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAXcuCAiTdQ8
721Please respect copyright.PENANANsmSb9aprW
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAVzhInOEL0c
721Please respect copyright.PENANAfndWtVF95z
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAHORbxIdId2
721Please respect copyright.PENANAA32f77ItQm
"What have you found out Rin?"721Please respect copyright.PENANA40tY4YWmVZ
721Please respect copyright.PENANARS4aYOgRMN
"That beast was not naturally made but was created by force." Faerthurin's tone was low as she tensely answered.721Please respect copyright.PENANAvfzV6jyWAv
721Please respect copyright.PENANA9Vh8NIOhk9
"By force? What do you mean?" Ivan questioned.721Please respect copyright.PENANAR2Xd4tzNna
721Please respect copyright.PENANA290wCP06UH
This talk soon grabbed Jeminya's ear. She turned left towards the trio. "What's this now about force?"721Please respect copyright.PENANAeb6IOfbyj0
721Please respect copyright.PENANAdrAki1KPMx
"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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAbqBI9IAAWa
721Please respect copyright.PENANALZgOzcLKDD
Jeminya frowned and looked to Faerthurin. "Have you concluded what type of magic was involved?"721Please respect copyright.PENANAmq3c7vGp8K
721Please respect copyright.PENANASRSGp4vqE2
Faerthurin nodded softly. "Someone used ritual magic to make that...thing."721Please respect copyright.PENANAavfpvKSxdR
721Please respect copyright.PENANAj5Xmh7Jus6
"Well that's troubling as I thought ritual magic was banned." Jeminya stated while lightly folding her arms.721Please respect copyright.PENANALyG01UVYzA
721Please respect copyright.PENANAOTCn64sNDI
"Troubled?" Jalerom blinked as he turned around in his seat. "What's troubling? The fight just started and I think they can take it."721Please respect copyright.PENANAAOTTp4ZyWa
721Please respect copyright.PENANAIPMMzUCODc
Ivan shook his head. "That animal was made using banned magic."721Please respect copyright.PENANAiUTWryYyQ4
721Please respect copyright.PENANA9wOYAY3Y3V
The rogue turned his attention to Faerthurin. "What?"721Please respect copyright.PENANAsc5GPA3ZtT
721Please respect copyright.PENANAV5hIhMlJW3
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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAmmenhgSU1k

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."721Please respect copyright.PENANAEu1bmVreWf

Kross lightly cleared his throat. "We don't even know if the yellow dragons were the ones who used that type of spell."721Please respect copyright.PENANAlk46PKB4j8
