The Pixie grimaced as the alchemist as she attempted to explain herself to the transformed Dragon. To Dumas she seemed very blunt, an approach that Dumas himself would agree with in most situations, but not with a Dragon. It had been instilled in Dumas since he was a child to avoid the bigger races, as Pixies were naturally only a foot tall. Using magic, Dumas was now able to transform into the relative height of a Human, and as such was not fearful of anyone of that height. But the giant creatures were still beyond him. The usually gung ho Dumas was still hesitant in the face of things like Gryphons, Chimeras, and Dragons.

Dumas hoped that the explanation of the dead Dragon provoking the fight was good enough for this new elder Dragon. As he waited, Dumas noticed that there was some kind of construct among the other group. While Dumas was familiar with constructs, as he hailed from Oberia, this one was of a completely different design. Instead of artificial skin, it’s outside was very clearly metal. Also it had four arms. Dumas stared at the artificial being as it spoke in an unfamiliar language to its comrades.

But Dumas’ interest was immediately overtaken by the Dragon speaking. Apparently what the adventurers had done was in line with Dragon Code and as such would have no repercussions. Dumas had heard talk of the Dragon Code before, but assumed it was folklore as he had never heard of a mortal killing a Dragon, at least not a trustworthy account.

The Dragon then walked back to the group she arrived with and took a mediative position. Then the apparent leader of the others began speaking in Pataliputran, introducing herself as Almira Gunnarsson Budiman. It was a strange name to Dumas, but then again he never really learned about Pataliputran naming practices, so perhaps it could just be a more rare name. Almira then asked for their names before turning to the construct, asking it something in a mysterious language.

The Dragon knight then offered to translate any introductions into Pataliputran. But the Princess of Oberia spoke in Pataliputran herself introducing herself and asking something about the construct. But as Dumas also wondered about the construct, the alchemist, Catherine, introduced herself before asking a whole lot of questions. She brought up the possibility that the meteor was some kind of advanced vehicle. This hadn’t occurred to Dumas before. He had heard talk of airships before, but this meteor had come from the stars, making it some kind of starship. The notion seemed incredibly unlikely to Dumas, but as he looked at the four armed construct Dumas slowly realized how much more advanced these people were.

But what was not advanced was the martial artist popping back up from unconsciousness at the mention of Dragon tail steak. This primal reaction to the mention of delicious food was not lost on Dumas as he too wondered what that kind of meat would taste like. The newly conscious man the introduced himself as Fei Bai Ho, the greatest martial artist alive. Dumas could easily say that he had never heard of him.

With everyone else done speaking, the Pixie transformed back into his Human size form and spoke himself in Pataliputran, [color=#A8A5D4]“My name is Dumas.”[/color]

But before he could expand on that, he realized he did not know how to say his full title in that language. So instead he turned to Srikandi, and began speaking in a more familiar language.

[color=#A8A5D4]“Could you them that I’m the Knight of Deep Woods?”[/color] Dumas asked the Dragon knight, [color=#A8A5D4]“Also mention that I’m a Pixie. Whoever these people are, I don’t think they’ve ever seen a Pixie before.”[/color]

Sure enough, Dumas had no clue who these people were. The Pixie believed that he had traveled across enough of the world to know most attires. But the garb of these people threw him off. Again he thought of the advanced vehicle theory, which could mean they had come from the stars. But the stars were the realm of gods and other celestial beings, and these newcomers, save the construct, all appeared Human. The many thoughts continued to puzzle Dumas as he waited for Srikandi to translate what he said.
