<Snipped quote by Artifact>

And what makes it a dragon? If it is formless, it seems much more like some sort of Eldritch Entity or something.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Nods at the bands connecting the planets*
It has something holding it together. But it’s not something you can traditionally touch.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

But you hoped you could lead an army against it?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

If that’s what it took. I really hoped that winning would give me the authority to kill this thing once and for all.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Is it hurting anything, actively? I mean this place is certainly in awful shape, but for all you or I know it’s always been this way. I’d be concerned about being the reason it wakes up.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Even asleep, it actively manipulates the minds of other dragons. For all I know, that girl was also under its control.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Do they exhibit similar traits? Dragons under its influence, I mean.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Feral ones do. Intelligent dragons often don’t.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Crosses my arms*
I have to admit. It’s baffling to learn something like this exists. Is this the ultimate source for where your hate for dragons comes from? If you had any way to guarantee someone was free of this thing’s influence, would you still hate them?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Pauses*
...It would go a long way. They’ll always be terrible beasts, but this is the worst of them all.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Does it bother you massively to be here? Based on the effects of this thing you just explained.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Rubs my left eye*
It’s miserable. But it can’t control me.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

We can go back if you want. As much of a… Disturbingly beautiful view it is, I have a thing against bugs, and there’s no reason to keep you here longer than necessary. Unless you had more to show.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

There’s nothing I’m dying to show off. Each scale offers some new abomination.
*Jabs my thumb at the orange planet*
That one is made of flesh, in case you’re still hungry.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

…
Something something world hunger. Thanks for not taking us there.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Nods*
I didn’t think so. It’s unpleasant.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

What’s the reason for deciding to show me? We were fighting to the death hours ago, we’ve talked a little bit and now you bestow knowledge of an unfathomable cosmic force in slumber upon me.

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

I don’t know your role, but I happen to be researching the properties of the Amaranthine and how its power might be harnessed.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Because if you’re really going to help me, then you need to see why my goals are more than “questionable at best.” And if you aren’t, now you know the alternative.
