[Video] After Ted's log...

[kalmaleader]

Well. Earlier this month, I had my hatchday. Not that I did anything special for it. There wasn't anything to do, really. Not in this world.

In the next order of business, a small group and I have defeated a pair of undead wyverns. That particular situation was of a personal interest to me, because it struck closer to home than I'd like to admit. Something very similar is happening in my own world, but on a much larger scale. I refuse to allow anything like that to happen here.

And since whoever reanimated those creatures has yet to be found, it's safe to assume that we can expect to see more of them at some point. We must tackle the problem at its source. Raising the bodies of the deceased to be used as tools is one thing I will not stand for. No body or soul should be torn from death to be bound to someone else's will. For any reason. They've lived their lives. Let them rest in peace.

[The dragon lets out a deep sigh, calming himself before his rage rises.]

That's all I wanted to say.

Then yes, it sounds like a b-day. Can I ask how long your species usually live?

[Since he looks like an adult to Kay after only 4 years, and Kay is terrible at keeping up with organic’s ages.]

I see. When you mentioned 'in a much larger scale', how large is that? Are there undead dragons everywhere fighting the rest?

[kalmaleader]

...No one really knows how long our species can live. Our race is still rather young, actually. As I understand it, the deities only gave birth to dragonkind just months before my own birth. So I am one of the older ones...

As for the "much larger scale," a dragon named Erebus has reanimated the dead dragons of my clan, and those were...quite many. I had hoped that they would be contained within our own lair, but I don't know if they've spread all over Sornieth, or if Erebus has reanimated more dead dragons elsewhere.

[k2so]

The deities are still around too? It's not very often than a race is so close to their beginning that they can remember it.

And the purpose of doing all that is to kill everyone?

[kalmaleader]

The deities will always be around. I don't know much about how they came to be, but I hear the Light flight contains some sort of scattered records in the Sunbeam Ruins. Perhaps I should check it out whenever I get back...

[He lets out an exasperated sigh.]

I'm not exactly sure what Erebus is trying to accomplish. Liora is the one who's had a personal encounter with him, and according to her, he simply wants to corrupt the world with darkness. Whether we would all die as a result is a mystery. But to me, if we don't die from it, then we'll suffer a fate worse than death. So one way or another, Erebus must be stopped.

[k2so]

It can't hurt to check once you get back. Might bring you some insight.

Honestly, I don't understand certain individuals that are so focused on controlling and then destroying everything. Don't they realize that once you have killed everybody an everything, there's nothing to do?

"Congrats, you are now the supreme ruler of Dust and nothing. Truly an accomplishment."....nonsensical.

[kalmaleader]

[He shakes his head.]

Indeed. I don't see what he plans to gain out of this either. Perhaps someone can talk some sense into him...although it probably won't be me.

[He'd rather just kill him instead.]

[k2so]

Talking to him alone seems inadvisable. Some people just can't be reasoned with. The emperor in my world is like that.

[kalmaleader]

Perhaps. It may depend on who is doing the reasoning. But like you said, some people just can't be reasoned with. But I believe I know who would have the best chance...

[k2so]

And who is that person? Er...dragon?

[kalmaleader]

It would likely be Liora. She's less combat-inclined, and Erebus seems...interested in her.

[Though he has no idea what kind of "interest".]

[k2so]

[Kay tilts his head at the 'interested' part. He can imagine where things are going.]

Hm. In that case it would be a good idea if she doesn't go talk to him alone, even if you don't speak to the other dragon.

[kalmaleader]

She does have her team. But they all need to become a lot stronger, in case things do go downhill...

[k2so]

You could always teach them to fight better.

[kalmaleader]

[A light scoff.]

Easy to say. But trust me, they have been training.

[k2so]

Are they really that bad then? I never saw a dragon fight so I can't really tell what's the right way for them to do it.

[kalmaleader]

How they fight would depend on many things, such as their breed or their element. Liora is a Fae dragon, so she would be more of a caster than a fighter. Element-wise, she and her partners are the most well-rounded team.

However, Erebus is powerful by himself, as even the stronger dragons of my clan reported having trouble with him.

[k2so]

What bred is Erebus? You can always join all clan against him, he's a common enemy. I am aware its' easier said that done but when the situation is desperate enough...

[kalmaleader]

Erebus is a Nocturne dragon. Uniting the clan against him would be the ideal solution, if I can just find them. The clan was scattered in the chaos when he attacked our lair, so I don't even know how many of them survived. I only know that my mate is safe, because I focused on protecting her...and Liora is safe, because she's stuck here in Genessia as well.

[k2so]

I wish you the best luck finding them once you get back. I know how it is to be worried abotu your team's fate.
