(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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAjADYjstwlX
489Please respect copyright.PENANAwI6ImKiZxh
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANA4aTJw4gMD2
489Please respect copyright.PENANAWfCHsSp8FC
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAFymTd2NhQB
489Please respect copyright.PENANALo7ICs5OoK
"Oh," Ivan looked to Klarian as Amber walked by them. "So all participants take part because they want to?"489Please respect copyright.PENANABswDRWAPIW
489Please respect copyright.PENANAezPcdT9m0s
"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.489Please respect copyright.PENANACJcNZ7lAGF
489Please respect copyright.PENANAjbj8YkKuBD
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAFTL3nH6gym
489Please respect copyright.PENANAAMq1sBp5oO
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANASSoXQw3LDu
489Please respect copyright.PENANANHmTZcMrzQ
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANADtrbH3bKF4
489Please respect copyright.PENANAGJpq5KaniD
"Agreed. There's something odd about these stones but I can't quite place what."489Please respect copyright.PENANAiqzClBnnkV
489Please respect copyright.PENANAOJTZ43xI4C
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?"489Please respect copyright.PENANAbU14lpcEAJ
489Please respect copyright.PENANABq3o0zeVyQ
"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?"489Please respect copyright.PENANA6H41LFJZlq
489Please respect copyright.PENANA8UqtIh9Jhc
"These marks right here." He pointed out the series of carvings which were gibberish to him.489Please respect copyright.PENANAm7O1sFGbyR
489Please respect copyright.PENANAYnliA90Xub
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAckmdDA1gV2
489Please respect copyright.PENANAuySQ6KDTAa
"So are they used in magic?" Ivan inquired after a minute of silence.489Please respect copyright.PENANAFuqix4JLLQ
489Please respect copyright.PENANAa4I6ecHZ2c
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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAmcDZ6vKPDv
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAdjzWPwhdF1
489Please respect copyright.PENANAUuazn2TTnS
"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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAMdN1pAEoTa
489Please respect copyright.PENANAVvPqe062PK
He shrugged, "not really or well, maybe a little but not too much. I mean, this is another race's land after all."489Please respect copyright.PENANAQt5ZVFQDCF
489Please respect copyright.PENANAGuwFERKj1c
"But why have an arena or area for battle without any solid walls? That puts the spectators at risk."489Please respect copyright.PENANAH8LJdIDxZF
489Please respect copyright.PENANAZo1zUdbUhy
"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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAGQ8A6Y8Ine
489Please respect copyright.PENANAmvhfRu73yX
Rose sighed and lowered her arms. "Do you think they are still going to try enslaving us?"489Please respect copyright.PENANAydS2BBp8kv
489Please respect copyright.PENANAYax6pewI4o
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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAYkPGQznCtI
489Please respect copyright.PENANAVySkLossRD
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAcvN8SWgX4X
489Please respect copyright.PENANAdYO6JaSlWE
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAVLDxNCrL0t
489Please respect copyright.PENANALCcQucKkOD
"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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAV2tJzxUGUY
489Please respect copyright.PENANAoW6Z7rlCPP
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAzgpztvFZgO
489Please respect copyright.PENANAZwTN2VniEb
Jalerom turned his head towards her. "What was that? Do you know about black dragons?"489Please respect copyright.PENANAD7Lta3x5IU
489Please respect copyright.PENANAwVWK9hTAZt
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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAsNSWgeFIRt
489Please respect copyright.PENANA0Sk5cYaMNB
"What is their breath weapon?"489Please respect copyright.PENANA3bsKoPsDaT
489Please respect copyright.PENANAwJzta6dc2k
"...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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAKwBD5iwGUw
489Please respect copyright.PENANABqZlWApGTw
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?"489Please respect copyright.PENANArworx1GbZd
489Please respect copyright.PENANAN4Us835ALe
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ4smW1hXf
489Please respect copyright.PENANAdUmS14E5An
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?"489Please respect copyright.PENANAE2lAHYZaMJ
489Please respect copyright.PENANAjOFNS8NHcZ
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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAVgxYfrsjBK
489Please respect copyright.PENANAo40SUqt8c8
Devion stayed silent with his eyes set on the saurian. "...How much do you wish to settle it for?"489Please respect copyright.PENANAOHHZQNTTl5
489Please respect copyright.PENANArAJJn6b35p
Kross gave a confident smirk. "Down to zero and to have his brother set free."489Please respect copyright.PENANAYn3iuAMLge
489Please respect copyright.PENANAIWx2EKd7cE
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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAzNAo8Ncfba
489Please respect copyright.PENANARUeQnVjxr7
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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAuxNMxLAVCo
489Please respect copyright.PENANA9wNiuEm6jJ
The armored dragon man motioned at Kross with an curious look. "What makes you so sure?"489Please respect copyright.PENANAztxmomUuv8
489Please respect copyright.PENANA5TJ95AFTm4
"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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAUSmkah3H9P
489Please respect copyright.PENANA1yP7IlHDtF
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?"489Please respect copyright.PENANAmIx7KcDoIq
489Please respect copyright.PENANAoUmojxAR7h
"If we do this deal, some might not see their fathers or sisters again..." Amber quietly commented with a little bit of worry.489Please respect copyright.PENANAcOGROpEQCd
489Please respect copyright.PENANAbwjndigkQl
Kross narrowed his gaze. "Think carefully on this." Faerthurin sternly warned.489Please respect copyright.PENANAnPPaeQtBlF
489Please respect copyright.PENANAeOQzCFxyUL
"...Deal." Kross took Devion's hand, giving a firm shake.489Please respect copyright.PENANAPkaWtfWCDK
489Please respect copyright.PENANAhcCkG37x6O
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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAAMviZi0Udu
489Please respect copyright.PENANA2v60VPpkNb
"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?"489Please respect copyright.PENANAfRBFhAqOlA
489Please respect copyright.PENANA0XDJ4t5GcM
"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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAbguLpFA30z
489Please respect copyright.PENANAM8CZcMHCpz
"Good point..." Kross turned his head towards Devion. "Hey! What kind of beast are you planing to use?"489Please respect copyright.PENANAJwB5UqlQfD
489Please respect copyright.PENANAChdIUh37dZ
The armored man stood taller with his arms refolding. "Nothing bad...just my 'special' pet for such a special occasion."489Please respect copyright.PENANAcqNgY3X8YU
489Please respect copyright.PENANASy6YEhaEDE
"Well that was sure helpful." Jalerom sarcastically responded.489Please respect copyright.PENANAsXpLuOwWXz
489Please respect copyright.PENANAUYfZFQstGB
"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."489Please respect copyright.PENANARzSoEeej1S
489Please respect copyright.PENANAX93DeS6ROa
Faerthurin sighed. "That still doesn't exactly help us decide who would stand a chance at victory."489Please respect copyright.PENANAzqecvLeaH1
489Please respect copyright.PENANAiJzyqhyMw5
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?"489Please respect copyright.PENANA9UXW0sYs8K
489Please respect copyright.PENANA1C62oy1wfl
"Oh yea, we do have the best armor." Amber perked up.489Please respect copyright.PENANAAtn0jQPm6Q
489Please respect copyright.PENANAxmWBr1Jnf3
"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.489Please respect copyright.PENANApvqYCXAplu
489Please respect copyright.PENANAOORyMyua23
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAVFuairMUnj
489Please respect copyright.PENANAgo9CwyZVqa
Oin grumbled and looked away from their leader. "Anyways," he looked to Amber. "Are you ready to go?"489Please respect copyright.PENANACNAUj1dYgk
489Please respect copyright.PENANA506fFlknLv
"Ready as ever." Amber nodded firmly with determination. "Let's reunite this split family!"489Please respect copyright.PENANAq01eCclgfO
489Please respect copyright.PENANAhsPcyRHJZb
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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAiMhmI99oYQ
489Please respect copyright.PENANAO7dJLVpZQU
"Good luck Amber! I know you got this!" Ivan encouraged as he quickly gave her a tight hug.489Please respect copyright.PENANAauGykY178s
489Please respect copyright.PENANAFAjtVlH4PP
"Thanks!" the golden dragon replied confidently with her own return of the embrace.489Please respect copyright.PENANA2vmYt0Jwoq
489Please respect copyright.PENANAaU9JUYRNe1
"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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAPvbFyVr9yc
489Please respect copyright.PENANAIv9Rn2J5jR
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?"489Please respect copyright.PENANAUqIPNt0Br2
489Please respect copyright.PENANA13nafIubV2
"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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAilN9G7ZiYm
489Please respect copyright.PENANAs7gWoqJECc
She nodded with a smile. "Yea, there isn't anything we can't do when we buff me up, hehe."489Please respect copyright.PENANADXoixEPCgd
489Please respect copyright.PENANATLt85AKef6
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANA5tav9XCgJm
489Please respect copyright.PENANAEzlmt1ioC5
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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAmBDAK6HURo
489Please respect copyright.PENANA3uvF6VzB6Q
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAIxFmFiEsDh
489Please respect copyright.PENANA6BJkLvPy7G
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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAGwSbUO8eSw
489Please respect copyright.PENANA1lPrQtWc42
Faerthurin sighed and started using one of her skills. "I'll see then if there's anything I can figure out about it."489Please respect copyright.PENANA53ymDNRXJO
489Please respect copyright.PENANAHlUA1eonSG
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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAaSb3hmOI2u
489Please respect copyright.PENANAesOl3B6la9
"What do you mean 'both sides of him'?" Oin asked firmly.489Please respect copyright.PENANA23jAl8rCQX
489Please respect copyright.PENANA1ap9yf3grs
"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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAAw54gIbYZs
489Please respect copyright.PENANACO6slzjL2O
"What?!" the shout erupted in unison from the bleachers with Kross having stood up with Ivan.489Please respect copyright.PENANAyYq7xx0Eju
489Please respect copyright.PENANAQOpRzfJ4LG
"Hey!" Kross snapped, drawing Devion to look over calmly. "Why did you leave that part out when I asked earlier?!"489Please respect copyright.PENANACuzdFCLeVe
489Please respect copyright.PENANABkBqRoEXVq
"You didn't ask about the rules. You simply asked about the battle grounds." The owner calmly stated with a smug shrug.489Please respect copyright.PENANAfzNn71M9jo
489Please respect copyright.PENANAdQdocAfhDQ
Kross growled with his jaw tense. "You knew exactly what I meant by that question."489Please respect copyright.PENANAohhIbl7Y4p
489Please respect copyright.PENANA9HSIDXXlC2
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."489Please respect copyright.PENANADn4HAeKQAU
489Please respect copyright.PENANAo65x29B9I4
"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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAHn5cwq1Gv4
489Please respect copyright.PENANAL6thIfmyJr
Amber gulped nervous after hearing the 'no magic' rule. "I think we might be in trouble."489Please respect copyright.PENANAALkM7BYnmq
489Please respect copyright.PENANAgsyHAIHDMY
"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.489Please respect copyright.PENANAnOefPjS4F6
489Please respect copyright.PENANACE9ejZouQ9
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANA6C31DXyJsM
489Please respect copyright.PENANAQMxpqkrzPg
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.489Please respect copyright.PENANA93Oz1q2M12
489Please respect copyright.PENANARgFAlEYpGq
"What have you found out Rin?"489Please respect copyright.PENANAtsZALBMXje
489Please respect copyright.PENANALEKa3dYhkq
"That beast was not naturally made but was created by force." Faerthurin's tone was low as she tensely answered.489Please respect copyright.PENANAAV5sYQNBh0
489Please respect copyright.PENANAs9gZVqQfNp
"By force? What do you mean?" Ivan questioned.489Please respect copyright.PENANAYESqrAxDG2
489Please respect copyright.PENANALhAFSZKvlu
This talk soon grabbed Jeminya's ear. She turned left towards the trio. "What's this now about force?"489Please respect copyright.PENANAwePKU2bElY
489Please respect copyright.PENANAlPZMDUlkAH
"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.489Please respect copyright.PENANArFMqFhyQF4
489Please respect copyright.PENANA21ZyALlQ0Q
Jeminya frowned and looked to Faerthurin. "Have you concluded what type of magic was involved?"489Please respect copyright.PENANAZSui7s87XM
489Please respect copyright.PENANA9G92LrnulM
Faerthurin nodded softly. "Someone used ritual magic to make that...thing."489Please respect copyright.PENANArXY3z9C0hW
489Please respect copyright.PENANAUzSrQkZ9ww
"Well that's troubling as I thought ritual magic was banned." Jeminya stated while lightly folding her arms.489Please respect copyright.PENANAssYM5TqggT
489Please respect copyright.PENANATQZvmwKQAq
"Troubled?" Jalerom blinked as he turned around in his seat. "What's troubling? The fight just started and I think they can take it."489Please respect copyright.PENANAVQcZsYSCt6
489Please respect copyright.PENANACbIYiEi4nM
Ivan shook his head. "That animal was made using banned magic."489Please respect copyright.PENANArRkOilD1mJ
489Please respect copyright.PENANAUHwyp3kt4I
The rogue turned his attention to Faerthurin. "What?"489Please respect copyright.PENANAIKgDgRQ3YM
489Please respect copyright.PENANAPcMxqFAQ5u
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.

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."489Please respect copyright.PENANAOaBpJqNXNd
