Chapter 1009: Good News
Ronarkatast was casually laying upon the comfortable bedding he had arranged for himself, currently taking the form of a massive being as various figures that appeared minuscule next to him moved about in his palace, some of them climbing atop of him to tend to his scales, something that was completely useless as he just needed to use his draconic breath on himself to take care of that, but being the dragonlord, it was only natural to have others take care of him.
"Mmh... Solast, Solast, Solast... What is the matter today, my dear Solast? Are you once again here to speak to me about the Undead Empire? I still feel that your worries are exaggerated, we are already predicting a future conflict with them and preparing in accordance, there is truly nothing more that can be done!" the All-Draco spoke, his voice reaching all across the palace, any louder than that and the countless attendants would all be brought to their knees if not outright slain by his booming speech.
"My Lord, I will admit that my worries concerning the Undead Empire might appear exaggerated... But today, I merely wanted to inform you of something that I sensed!" all three of Solast’s heads spoke in unison before Ronarkatast, the dragonlord merely emitting a low sound.
"I have sensed a couple of things coming from the Empire, what is it that you felt?" the great dragon might act like Solast was a bother, but actually, it wasn’t too bad to have some visit everyday, especially from him in particular as Solast was not afraid of pushing against what he said unlike most others, so conversing with the sun dragon was rather entertaining.
"My Lord, I have felt a strong brightness, it was like a sun was born! A sun of twisted, abnormal light!"
"Is that so? I think I see what you are talking about... But Solast, I fear that you are misrepresenting it, to you and your sun breath, it might seem unnatural, but it is but a sun of a different nature like there are plenty... Furthermore, I wouldn’t recommend saying that too much, you mustn’t have realised it, but that sun, it carried the distinct mark of Nitok’s wife... Huh, what was her name again?" the dragonlord raised one paw and scratched his chin, the sound produced by that simple action made the walls shake.
"Maiele Liameilos?"
"Ah yes, that’s what she was called! The Skeleton King seems rather fond of that elven girl, so don’t go slandering anything about her, can you imagine if it reached his bony ears?"
"That elf must have reached something, maybe I should invite the royal undead couple over to check it out for myself, what do you think?"
"My Lord, I think that keeping the amount of interactions with the Empire to a minimum is best... Even if they offer plenty of novel types of dragons to grow our population, it is unwise to extend to much trust to them, they are a warmongering empire that is ceaselessly attempting to expand"
