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

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

@Artifact

But you hoped you could lead an army against it?

@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.

@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.

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

@Artifact

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

Feral ones do. Intelligent dragons often don’t.

*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?

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

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

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

@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.

@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.

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

I didn’t think so. It’s unpleasant.

@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.

@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.

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

@Legend Begins

*had been listening the whole time*

If I had recalled, you had asked If I could secure more amaranthine. She may be able to aid in that endeavor, should we need more samples.

@Artifact

It’s quite an adventure in store, that’s for sure. What happens if you try to attack it? You said you can’t touch it conventionally, but there are parts here that you could definitely attack and do damage to.
