of the three heirs

“Mrrr….. mrrya?“

are you.. able to tell me what your name is in some way?

The little Emperor stares at the ground.

Caretaker... yes, of course. But would it be a good idea? Fable doesn’t like him talking to other dragons on his own, although “talking” hasn’t ever really been an applicable word, either. Meeting, then.

The little Emperor stares at the ground.

“It… pains me to say that there are many such monsters in this world. There isn’t much I can do, but… erm, I’m very sorry to hear that…“ Fable clearly struggles to get the words out.

“.....Such things, cruel as they are - from the killer, to the victim, and for any who may hear or see it - they... happen. Believe me when I say I wish I could put a stop to it. I’m powerless, though. Do, erm, do you know... who might’ve done it?“

Looks like the little Emperor is on his own, asleep.

Bai remains soundly asleep, shifting around ever so slowly. The heads lay close together, basking in each other’s comfort.

Though little Bai does not wake up, some of the other dragon’s chirping must’ve gotten through to him: the three heads gain a contented smile on their face and slowly purr in their sleep.

The little Emperor rolls around, chirping back. It’s not entirely clear whether the hatchling is still asleep, at this point: all three heads have their eyes closed, but he seems rather active, nonetheless. He might wake up soon.

“Mya?“

“Mrrrya.“

“Mya, mya!“

Little Bai circles around the Spiral for a bit, looking at him in curiosity while playfully wagging both his tails.

you’ve made him too powerful and he can no longer be stopped

The Shade and their children. A family portrait.

“Eggs everywhere… I pray that my job won’t become harder than it already is.“

“Oh, I know that. But, well… There’s a chance, ever so slight. I’ve my hands more than full, and somehow, when hatchlings have nowhere to go - they always seem to end up with me.“

“A beacon… Hah. It’s the first time I’ve heard something like that - usually, I am the one who is lost and abandoned. But, I must thank you for the offer, nonetheless.“

“Mm. An aura, you say? I don’t know; I think it’s little more than experience. Experience I wish I hadn’t had so much of. Nothing to be done about it now, though - if I have to be a beacon, then so be it.“
