>>5218393There is also the OTHER matter… That of your embryo, developing within an egg inside you. You have successfully given reality to your vision, fulfilled your own prophecy: you are carrying Roth’s child. Irinnile’s soul-sense confirms as much: a child grows within you. However, what it is NOT is a Dragonborn. You have reached out to Head Chimericist Henzler across your ectoplasmic link about this matter, but her advice was… Troubling.
“The heart,” she said, excitement building as she considered the implications, and hears of what youv’e already achieved with her first such chimera. “We need the heart. The direct, untainted blood of the dragon, mingled with yours and with Roth’s own, already draconic, bloodline… And the travelers who I’ve ‘acquired with the help of these farmers… Yes, YES! This could be it! I could make a PERFECT Dragonborn with such ingredients!”
Of course, you know that you cannot just TAKE the heart of The Great Green Dragon. It is the last pure material your own Fleshwavers have! But to perform the experiment here… You would need to admit what you have done, that you have mated (in clear defiance of your people’s law, and without even asking) and conceived a Degenerate child with a Dragonblood. You’re not even sure ROTH understands that you were doing more than sating the succubus within. They may demand an abortion, or even strip you of some of the privileges you have acquired.
‘And Henzler’s, like, waaaay better at this stuff than them, anyway, right?’ Irinnile notes.
What do you do?
