To see the dragon this close was a sight to behold. It was so amazing, so powerful, and so very horrifying. So many dead after just one run. The creature was larger than anything she has seen before; imagery would not do it justice. She has seen dragons on murals and paintings, but even from so far away Parum could clearly see that she was out of her depth.

Parum was just a bard and a scholar. She wasn’t a fighter, and hardly a mage. She played music and read books. Her place was at a library keeping records or perhaps a tavern entertaining travelers. Being a warrior-poet or a skald was just a fantasy for her. Because in the face of a true threat like this dragon, there was no way Parum could fight it. How can anyone fight it? With a creature this huge she doubts a spear could pierce its hide. There just wasn’t a way. They were all going to die.

It was then that Orchid let loose his warcry and harshly brought Parum back to reality. At this moment Parum was almost certain that the half-orc was a fool. She remembered what he said was his plan, and she believed that was foolish. And now he was actually going to do it. [color=7ea7d8]”You idiot, don’t go! You’ll just get yourself killed!”[/color] But it was too late. The practically butt-naked barbarian charged out to meet the dragon head on, as if the monster was a mere beast. [color=7ea7d8]”That idiot is going to get himself killed! He… He… Dammit!”[/color] Parum suffered a moment of crisis, uncertain what she could do. Creatures like a dragon required heroes to defeat. She was no hero.

However…

In such tense moments, there was really only one thing Parum could do. The only thing she knows she can do well: she played a song. Touching her blade bow to the strings of her viol, Parum played a [url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vjwKId4kJYI]song of courage[/url]. It was really the only thing she could think to do now. Everyone needed hope, especially during bleak times like this. As her song played Parum was able to gather some courage. At the very least she didn’t run away, even if she doesn’t want to get any closer.
