One whose body is made of fire I imagine.

@Caldizar

What a boring dragon! All that work for nothing.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Shrugs and strides off to the place the dragon last stood at, finding nothing but blackened ground. Searching around for a bit, I eventually return*

I didn't find anything but scorched earth. I think it's safe for us to carry on.

@Caldizar

Awww, no loot? What kind of dragon doesn't have treasure?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Nods*

Seems like we all do.

*The air continues to rush out of the walled off area, eventually creating a complete vacuum. The orange glow fades dies as the elemental drake finally meets its end, vanishing from existence entirely*

@Caldizar

Let’s go see if it had any loot on it!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*Nods*
Great illumination, abandon thine incorporeal form and guard this space from the elements below.
*The magic circle glows an intense white*

@Fractured

*Red magic circles spin in my eyes*
Augmenting spell—amending attributes: Directional. Magic transparency. Reinforced strength. Successful.
*The circles fade*
Augmentation complete.

*Moving forward, you eventually find yourself face-to-face with what appears to be a storm, albeit one of cinder and flame. Or that is what you think it is until it rears its massive head, and you suddenly realize that this is no natural force...

This is a dragon. Luckily, it does not seem to notice your presence*

@Caldizar

*Remains next to Gio in invisibility and analyzes it for strength, weaknesses, and hidden features*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Except one often finds the latter by enduring the former. Also, heads up. I see something in the distance.

*Points to the blue horizon, which lies darkened by clouds underlit with a fiery glow*

@Caldizar

You think it's some kind of monster? An evil king?
*Elbows Gio*
Maybe even an undead?

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

She can use magic if she possesses me. But pain doesn't have the same significance to her as it does me.

@Fractured

It’s not about the pain; it’s about survival!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Chuckles*

I see. On a more serious note however, I wouldn't exactly look at the trials you face as negatively as you do. They are terrible and life-threatening sure, but they also serve to cut you into shape. Harden your will for greater challenges yet to come, not to mention earn you rewards you wouldn't get for free.

@Caldizar

Exactly. That’s what I’m saying!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Ah, I see.

*Pauses for a moment*

You know I'm sure there's a joke to be made there or something, but I'll leave it be.

@Caldizar

Like the leach one! I thought that one was funny.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

They do. Anyway, enough about my world. We have this one before us to explore do we not?

*Trudges off over a small hill*

Come along! Let's go see what's out there!

@Caldizar

*Hovers behind you and Gio*
I hope we get to fight some kind of monster!
