“Seth, we’re literally trying to cross this gulf. Now is not the time.” 

“No, no, think about it. Navarog could kill us, but so could any other dragon here. So what makes him so special?”

“Seth, listen. I know a lot about dragons from my dad, and he talked about Navarog once or twice. Navarog has four breath weapons, he’s an incredibly fast flier, he’s wicked smart--” 

“So like pretty much every dragon ever. Big whoop.” 

“Everyone stop moving... Seth, what makes Navarog so special is that he’s aligned with the demons and is completely against our mission. Whereas another dragon would just take the key and put it back or stash it somewhere else, Navarog would take it back to the Society. He could also alert others here to our mission, creating a hunt for us. Is that clear?” 

“So the only thing that really makes him different is the fact that he’s working for the Sphinx? He doesn’t have some super secret special dragon power we don’t know about?” 

“He has four--” 

“That is correct. Now, keep moving.” 

“It’s a good thing Navarog isn’t around to hear you say how unremarkable he is, or you would probably be dead right now.” 

“I think I’ll take my chances, Kendra. I mean, he could probably vaporize me on the spot, but so could any dragon here, AND he’s outside. The biggest thing he could do right now is get annoyed.”
