>>5505863>9The spring, like its undying occupants, seems… Corrupted. The sulphuric stench of hotspring waters is amplified, filled with a rotten scene which hits your nostrils before you even hit the water. You find yoru senses staggered, sixth sense stymied…
>3Like the mist, the spring-water has lost its warmth, trading it for a bitter cold. You are a quarter-human, but your heart is a reptile’s heart, your mammalian blood thin and cold. Your Dragonblooded firelungs and <Dragonshape> transformation preserve you against instant coma, but it is still a deep and terrible shock.
You flail your arms and legs, beat your mighty wings… But your muscles and armour are heavy, your movements sluggish, you mind still penetrated by that deep and deadly necromantic chill. You are sinking, deeper and deeper, deeper than the spring should naturally go, into blackness.
>1You open your mouth to roar, and you find yourself drowning.
Your consciousness begins to fade away from the waking world, and into the eternal darkness of the world beyond. Is this how you are destined to die? Why is water your nemesis? You begin to take it for the touch of fate, that are the air above, the earth below and around you, and the fire inside are all your allies, it was almost INEVITABLE than one of nature’s elements should be your enemy. It has a… SORT of logic to it, and a poetry….
>Acquired: <Aquaphobia>, and <Water Weakness>, lowering your effectiveness in water and against water magicBut no… No! This is not how a Dragon King dies, not how YOU die, drowning in a spring while your followers and family look on with horror. Hapo the Necromancer will NOT rule Bloodrise! And the Green Knight… Wherever he is, you MUST face him. THAT is destiny!
You force your eyes open, and your body to move. You cats your senses about—mundane and mystical, until you find it—light! It is…
>The mystical light of that which you dove for—the heart of the spring![Chance to seize an artefact and end the threat of the cursed spring forever, BUT it leaves your allies undefended above]
>The light of life, love, spells being flung and Glowie’s bioluminescence[The cursed spring’s secret remains beyond your grasp, but you will not risk losing any of your allies
yet]
