The tower had all black walls and was lightly lighted by a small red crystal that produced light, just like the one you saw on your chambers. It lit a terrifying sight. The skeleton of a dragon whose ribcage took all the tower and was hung on the wall, under it it’s tail was impressive. You saw only the head of the beast at the baron’s castle, and constated that it could have eaten a knight and his steed in one bite but now you understood the majesty of this beast, it was the size of a building ! A black stone altar was near the spinal column of the beast and a candle lit it. You saw a cowled figure near the altar and decided to meet it. It was when you heard.
-Lord Charles, a pleasure to meet you in this place. Praying to the dragon god is always a wise choice, he grants strength.
You answered, recognising the voice.
-Lord Neutralsson ? You... Here ! It was unexpected !
-A man should never be obvious that he is up to something. Too much audacity, is death of safety. But enough talk... We are here for prayers after all.
-I doubt that you have called me for a prayer, I suppose that you have another thing in mind.
Your answer was motivated as much by curiosity than by a zealous anti pagan sentiment. The man nodded in answer, and proposed.
-Well, I had all the time to pray after all. What about going near a small pond, I love going near this place when I am in my glorious liege lord’s castle. You will see it is very beautiful by moonlight.
You nodded, not trusting him very much, but he was historically an ally of Lord Random even if according to Oldfossil he was afraid of the baron. You told him.
-You could have contacted me in a more conventional way. We look like two plotters.
You tried to smile and the man, who was a bit shorter than you, took a lantern and led the way.
-Speaking together for too long and learning to know you would be unwise. I needed to know you more before making my mind about the mysterious man that had killed Lord Hostil and upset the balance of power. But as wise men say in the story of the three genies, « Your thoughts you must hide until you decide ». I couldn’t have spoken to you for long at the castle and a little learning is a dangerous thing.
Decidedly he liked to talk in proverbs. You agreed to his words and let the man continue to advance. Finally, when you were going out of the temple you saw that Ancel was trying to menace someone with a dagger, the other man did the same. You heard Ancel say.
-I will cut you like a bacon you calf head !
The other man had none of it and he striked, your man slipped fell, saying "Mortecouille" in the process. But this battle was stopped by the voice of Lord Neutral.
